Chapter 709: Let's Go Root in the Mainland!
Seeing Yin Jun put down his chopsticks and thought slowly, Li Hanxiang looked at Zhao Yazhi with inquiring eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Yazhi shook his head lightly, and gave Li Hanxiang a smile, signaling him to rest assured.
Only women know their men best.
Although Yin Jun didn't reveal any information, with Zhao Yazhi's understanding of him, Yin Jun didn't ask a few words, and agreed to come to meet Li Hanxiang, and he must have a plan in his heart.
Besides, he brought himself all along, how could it be that he didn't help?
The White Lady also understands that her man has lofty ambitions, and Li Hanxiang is a very capable director, maybe now her man is thinking about how to recruit him.
As for filming in the mainland or something, what does it matter?
When I was filming "Shanghai Beach", wasn't it filmed in Qiongkou City, Qiongdao, introduced by Yin Jun?
After a while, Yin Jun spoke, "Director Li, the Empress Dowager Cixi is actually a very complicated woman, and from what I know about her, she is not at all so unbearable and demonized in many wild histories. This woman is very skillful, and she has relied on her to support the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty for decades.
Generation after generation of heroes, such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Ding Baozhen, etc., all respect the queen mother. I think these people should be stronger than you and me, right? How can a woman whom even they admire tremble and admire so unbearable? We should look for more information, discuss and study more, and strive to restore her true face, so that we can respect history, don't you say?"
Li Hanxiang was shocked when he heard this.
In the past two years, he has been preparing to shoot Cixi's biography, and he has also checked a lot of information about Cixi, but most of them are unfavorable to Cixi.
Yin Jun's statement, he heard it for the first time, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.
If Cixi was really as mentioned in the data, she was very mediocre, suppressed political enemies, oppressed the people, and was extremely poor and extravagant, etc., how could the Qing Dynasty continue to live for 50 years from the death of Emperor Xianfeng?
Just kidding, right?
Such an ability, let alone Qianlong, even if Kang Mazi is reborn, it is just such a skill.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Hanxiang hesitated and said, "But...... If there are not enough things that the audience likes to watch, if the case is overturned for Cixi, I am afraid that the box office will not be able to get too much. ”
"Historical films made for the sake of the box office are called jokes, not respect for history. Yin Jun shook his head and said, "If you want me to sponsor the movie, you have to do what I say." I don't want to overturn the case for Cixi, but if you want to shoot, I want a flesh and blood, contradictions and struggles, evil and sincere, real Empress Dowager Cixi!"
"Ah Jun, isn't the Empress Dowager Cixi famous for bringing disaster to the country and the people? Do you see what she made a good country look like at the end of the Qing Dynasty? What kind of people have we been bullied?" Zhao Yazhi said puzzled.
This is because those shameless literati promoted the image of the Empress Dowager Cixi like this, so everyone thought that she was such a person. Yin Jun smiled and said in a shocking voice: "In my opinion, in that era, in fact, all the bloody men in China were dead, so I pushed such a big pot onto a woman." ”
Li Hanxiang gasped unconsciously.
Yin Jun's attitude is an iron-clad support for Cixi?!
"I have never had a good impression of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Mazi, Yong Butcher, and the Ten Idiot Old Men, I don't like them. But there is also one thing to say. Yin Jun said eloquently, "The Qing Dynasty has basically collapsed since 30 years after Qianlong, and the Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng behind it have not been able to reverse it at all." If it weren't for Cixi's superb means, the Qing Dynasty would have perished as early as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Cixi was born at the wrong time and place, and if she was in Europe, Queen Victoria would not be enough. For example, some literati, because of thousands of years of patriarchal inferiority and inferiority of women, and because of such a special environment, imposed the root cause of the suffering of the entire nation and the country on Cixi, believing that it was her existence that did not appear as a holy monarch, and finally led to its demise!
But is this really the case? We won't talk about Xianfeng, because he is still in poor health, and he is still in a state of flux, and he has a small amount of energy, and he is also very timid, so he will be sad and difficult to understand when he encounters things, and if he does not die, who will die? Cixi's son, Emperor Tongzhi, began to visit the kiln when he was a teenager, but died violently before he was 19 years old...... What is a violent death? How did you suddenly die?
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a Tongzhi Zhongxing, so it can't be said that it was made by the 19-year-old emperor who was finished looking for flowers and asking Liu, right? At that time, it was Cixi who was in charge of the government, and if she didn't give her this credit, she was charged with killing her own son in order to seize power.
There is also the so-called another Zhongxing Mingjun - Guangxu and Cixi have already delegated power and completely let him call the shots. In the end, he was good, compared to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the little belongings accumulated by the good Cixi were messed up by his capricious administration! It was all the old ministers who knelt down and begged Cixi to come out to clean up the mess, and Cixi had to come out, is this still wrong?
It is also said that Cixi's power leans towards the government and the opposition, and she will kill all of them if she doesn't like her eyes, this is really a heart-wrenching statement! Except for Su Shun and others, who were bent on killing her when she seized power, when did you see her kill any important members of the court at the rest of the time? Not to mention Cixi, Kang Mazi and Qianlong are the most ferocious Yongzheng, and they don't kill them when they want to!
The system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been that the emperor and all the banner people rule the world together, and all the banner people are part of the imperial court, and the power of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is really not as big as imagined, not to mention Cixi, a woman, with the clan, the system, and the moderation of the Han ministers, where did she come from so much cruelty and words?
Take the Summer Palace that made her carry the black pot for a hundred years, this Summer Palace was indeed repaired for Cixi, but this was repaired for her by King Yixun, and the purpose at that time was to let Cixi end the curtain and listen to the government, and then let the grown up Emperor Guangxu take care of the government by himself. And where did this money come from? Yiyun had a naval yamen in his hand, and he was not angry with Li Hongzhang for engaging in the Beiyang Naval Division, and he was doing a thing in Huajing, which was full of the children of the Manchu bannermen, and the training place was in Yunming Lake in Huajing.
Yi Xun wanted to invite Cixi and Guangxu to see the training results of the banner people, so he said to the governors of various places, you see, this emperor and Lafayette are coming, and I have nothing to entertain here, do you mean that I should build a garden around this Yunming Lake, so that it is easy to welcome? Therefore, the governors donated nearly 3 million taels of silver, and the garden built around Yunming Lake with this money is called the Summer Palace.
In fact, the defeat of the Beiyang Navy Division was entirely due to many comprehensive factors, among which there must be the responsibility of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but it is not fair to let her take the blame alone?"
At this moment, Li Hanxiang can no longer be described as shocked, the Cixi in Yin Jun's mouth completely subverts what he knows, and his good friends, the Cixi who wrote it, are not such people at all!
Where does Zhao Yazhi still know how to hide at this time, his eyes are full of affection, and he has been looking at Yin Jun, how to like it, how to worship it.
Only then did she understand why Yin Jun was able to write so many good scripts!
Everyone is making it up, but Yin Jun will write it when he understands it.
Because of this, the script written by Yin Jun is so good-looking!
"This ......" Li Hanxiang's Great Khan came out, "Jun Shao, where did your information come from?
"The Ministry of Culture doesn't necessarily understand history, and writers don't necessarily understand it, especially writers and screenwriters who grew up in this special era. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "I have a good relationship with the Huajing Palace Museum, they also have a relationship there, you can find out a lot of real historical facts, if you have the opportunity, you can ask those few to take a closer look, there is not enough manpower to increase the assistants, this expenditure does not need to be saved." Don't rush, take your time, work slowly!"
Li Hanxiang frowned, "If what you said is really true, then the script ......"
Speaking of this, Li Hanxiang gasped again, looked at Yin Jun's eyes, and suddenly became panicked.
How did he know that I was planning with the writers and screenwriters in the mainland?
And looking like that, it seems that even those people know who they are?
After thinking about it, Li Hanxiang suddenly understood.
Yin Jun's relationship with the mainland's literary and artistic circles is not shallow, and his connections are also extensive, maybe who revealed it to him?
"Director Li, I suggest that you simply go to the mainland and slowly comb, polish and prepare, and then start filming the biography of Cixi. Yin Jun said, "As long as you bring the script over and make me satisfied, funding is not a problem...... Well, do you think $10 million is enough?"
"Enough!!!"
Li Hanxiang couldn't help but grin.
$10 million!
I was originally going to shoot it with 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but Yin Jun rose 4.6 times in one go, what is not enough?
"Don't be too busy saying enough, I'm conditional. Yin Jun was afraid that he would use the $10 million to produce the next five films, so he reminded him in advance: "The first one, as I just said, the script must satisfy me." ”
"No problem!" Li Hanxiang is not entangled at all, not to mention that Yin Jun is the most powerful screenwriter in Xiangjiang and even in Asia, just saying that his understanding of Cixi is not comparable to ordinary people, and it is a good thing to let him help check and fill in the gaps.
"Second, I hope you have a careful arrangement and planning, don't shoot in a hurry, all the details must be cut out, and don't care about money. Yin Jun said.
"The details refer to ......," Li Hanxiang asked.
"For example, the rules of the Qing Palace at that time, the way of saluting, the rules of dressing, etc., even the best clothes were made in Gusu. Yin Jun said, "As for the filming location, I suggest that in the Forbidden City, no matter how bad it is, it must be in the summer resort, and the rest of the scenes must also be in several princes' mansions." ”
"How much does that cost?" Li Hanxiang was dumbfounded, he now finally understood what Yin Jun meant when he said "don't care about money", and he also understood why Yin Jun was willing to give him 10 million US dollars!
"If you want to make a movie that will be amazing for future generations. Yin Jun said, "As for the money, it's not enough to add more, I have only one requirement for you, to do a good job, and show 100% of your Mr. Li Hanxiang's strength!"
"I understand!" Li Hanxiang suddenly had a feeling of blood boiling.
Ma's!
Since Yin Jun dares to invest so much, am I still afraid of spending money?
"Third, you can bring some staff from Xiangjiang, but try to use the mainland. Yin Jun said: "The actors and directors in the mainland are all very good, and the land of Xiangjiang is not sufficient." ”
"Good!"
"When using mainland actors, you also have to abide by my rules. Yin Jun continued.
"Rules?" Li Hanxiang said in surprise.
At this time, Zhao Yazhi answered, she smiled and told Yin Jun about his anger in Qiongkou City, and finally said: "Ah Jun is originally a mainlander, so he hopes that everyone can have similar treatment, at least in terms of food, clothing and housing." ”
"Well, Sister Zhi's words are what I meant. Yin Jun looked at Li Hanxiang and said, "Director Li, you remember, whoever makes a fuss will tell him to get out." Whoever is not satisfied, call him back and tell me. ”
"I see, I'll tell you to go down. ”
Li Hanxiang hurriedly remembered this matter firmly, lest anyone annoy Yin Jun, it was not a joke.
Today's Yin Jun and Yin Jun in Qiongkou City back then are not of the same level, and their words are more weighty.
Yin Jun also greeted him in advance, he didn't want Liu Xiaoqing to cry and shout "I want to eat meat, I want all the mainland actors in the crew to eat meat", in this way, it is a shame for a film and television company and crew.
It is precisely because Liu Xiaoqing dares to speak so much that Yin Jun decided to let her play the role of Cixi in this life, and Liu Xiaoqing's atmosphere when he was young is not comparable to few actors.
"Fourth, since this movie is my investment, then I hope to hang up the brand of our Kirin Film and Television, you just have to film, and we will do the rest. Yin Jun said, "Of course, I will satisfy you with your director's salary, screenwriter's salary, producer's salary, etc." ”
"Hehe, as long as I can make the movie well, the rest doesn't matter. After laughing, Li Hanxiang was a little puzzled, "Jun Shao, you are so blatant to invest in filming movies in the mainland and release them yourself, aren't you afraid of offending the government of Baodao and banning your movies on Baodao?"
"I'm a little bit off right now. Yin Jun nodded, "But it will take two years for you to finish this movie at the earliest, right?
Li Hanxiang immediately understood.
Yin Jun is giving himself another two years of development time, and then he doesn't have to be afraid of the blockade of the treasure island.
Although Li Hanxiang didn't know what Yin Jun would do, watching him start from scratch in more than two years and earn a net worth of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars in one go, he knew how talented and demonic this young man was.
"The fifth and final point, Director Li, your health is not very good, I hope that when you are in the mainland, you can accept the Chinese medicine practitioners I found for you to recuperate your body, and recuperate for a year first, and then make a movie. Yin Jun said.
"Huh!?"
To be honest, Li Hanxiang was a little surprised by Yin Jun's request.
He didn't expect Yin Jun to care about his physical condition, and he was suddenly a little moved.
Although Brother Shao is good to himself, he has never cared so much.
"Director Li, you are at the time when you have the most experience in life and are in the best condition, so you should shoot more good movies for everyone to see, instead of accumulating hard work and dying young. Yin Jun said, "You should also keep this in mind yourself, take good care of your body, in order to better fulfill your wishes." ”
"Yes!Thank you, Junshao, I see!!"
Li Hanxiang said heavily, at this moment, his eyes were a little moist.
