Yu Zhan already knew that Liu Man was good at dancing, she was bragging. Because the day she finished filming the dance scene, she was exhausted and paralyzed when she went back. The result of excessively doing some movements that her body rarely did was that the next day, her whole body seemed to be crushed by a heavy object. She walked and lifted her legs, When I reached out to grab something, my muscles were all sore. At that time, Yu Zhan thought she had suffered something, and said that he would take her to the hospital to have a look. Liu Man had to tell him the truth, saying that she asked for it herself, and she would never boast about it casually in the future, and she would never do porcelain work without diamonds.

According to the two Mr. Micro, the role of Concubine Yu requires an actress who can play the piano, sing and dance. She is absolutely versatile. As for the name of this movie, Harvey said, it is tentatively decided to be Gaixia Song. He wanted to reproduce the love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji in the movie. Like Zhaojun's Out of the Fortress, this story is almost a household name in China, and there are many related film and television dramas. The same theme is almost being shot by the Chinese. But the problem is that this is the United States, Americans know Xiang Yu? Concubine Yu?

Concubine Yu is not Hua Mulan!

Hua Mulan is probably the most famous Chinese historical female figure abroad. The story of her joining the army in place of her father is a super big IP, which has spread far and wide in the Western world. It is mainly due to the early American Disney animated image, which is very popular among Americans. So welcome that Mulan's name could almost be compared to Snow White.

If an interview were conducted on the streets of the United States to know about Hua Mulan, it is estimated that 90% of Americans would be able to talk about it.

If you ask Wang Zhaojun, it is estimated that 30% of the people can answer two sentences, and they will definitely say, oh, that is the role played by Princess Hangong.

If you ask Yu Ji...

I'm afraid everyone has a black question mark face.

From this point of view, Harvey seems to know Chinese culture very well, and he even knows the Chinese poem Gai Xia Ge, which is very unfamiliar to Wei Guoren.

But Yu Zhan felt very strange, because he chatted with Harvey casually for a while, and the other party knew very little about China. Harvey had never been to China, and he could not name the names of other cities except the capital Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau. Yu Zhan is sure that he is a pure white man in his bones, even though his hair is quite black.

Perhaps Harvey read the story of the Overlord of Western Chu somewhere, and was so moved that he wanted to film it. The strange thing is that when Harvey read the names of Yu Zhan and He Lushen, his pronunciation was ambiguous, but when he read the names of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, and even the three words Gai Xia Ge, the pronunciation was very standard and clear.

And Yu Zhan believes that Yu Ji's story may not be suitable for the mainstream American film market.

Han Palace Autumn Moon can be loved by North American audiences. In addition to YouTube's focus on music and art promotion in the early stage, as well as the influence of Liu Man and Jason's hype and scandal, there is also a deeper factor-Wang Zhaojun and Hua Mulan are somewhat similar. They are neither delicate nor weak, one resists the heavy task of saving the whole country with his own strength, and the other wears men's clothes to practice martial arts, going through life and death on the battlefield.

They are stronger than men! And this is also the mainstream concept of equality between men and women in the United States-it can also represent the general perception of women in Western society: modern women should be self-reliant and independent, and should not be dolls attached to men.

Searching the Internet for foreign film reviews about The Autumn Moon in the Han Palace found that bravery and perseverance are high-frequency words.

But Concubine Yu is different. She is Xiang Yu's concubine and has always been by his side. She is a vassal. In Yu Zhan's perception, Concubine Yu is a weak woman who needs a man's protection.

Will American movie fans buy such a heroine?

Harvey found that Yu Zhan was a very cautious person. He looked gentle and elegant, but in essence he was not as talkative as He Lushen. He didn't seem to care at all whether his Late Dreams of the Late Ming Dynasty would be released in the United States, and he didn't ask any questions. Regarding this issue, I only asked about the movie Gai Xia Ge, as if he was Liu Man's spokesperson.

The questions he raised about the theme of Gai Xia Ge were so sharp that Harvey didn't know how to answer them, especially why he made this film. He didn't want to give a positive response. His reason was, I want to Shoot, I have enough money to support it, I don't worry about the box office, I don't expect to make a profit from it, and I don't care about the market's reaction.

Generally speaking, those who say this are some successful directors. At the end of their careers, they let themselves go and make films that only they can understand, which is called the pursuit of art.

Harvey's talk has reached this point, what is Yu Zhan still looking for? Faithful words are hard to hear, doesn't Yu Zhan know that these analyzes of his may arouse his resentment? He just stood on his own ground and kindly reminded the other party.

Whether the movie is a hit has no effect on Yu Zhan or Liu Man himself. Even if it is a bad movie, it is still a bad movie in Hollywood. As long as she gets the name of Hollywood, Liu Man's future value will definitely increase, and she can also use this as an introduction to take on more Hollywood movies.

Playing Concubine Yu, Liu Man will never suffer.

Just gotta dance again...

Harvey also understands that Yu Zhan has good intentions, because in common sense, the purpose of making movies is to make money, and his statement seems to be aiming to lose money.

He had a slight liking for Yu Zhan, and he felt that he was a good person. No wonder Jason Harmer went to China and did so many things that did not fit his personality; It’s hard to be the same.” At the negotiating table, there are really too few businessmen who can stand on the other side’s side and think for the other side.

Harvey discussed this again with his cousin Bryan. Bryan watched the conversation between the two for a long time. He also thought that Yu Zhan was a good person. He said to his cousin, We can try to cooperate with him. Whether it makes money or not is another matter. At least I have an intuition that he won't cheat us.

Originally, Harvey's idea of ​​introducing Late Ming Dynasty was not very strong, and there is no role of Liu Man in this film! Yu Zhan made a good guess. Apart from the love story of the overlord of Western Chu, Harvey knew nothing about Chinese history. He was worried that if he bought the American copyright of Late Dreams of the Late Ming on impulse, he might really lose money in the end. He has only been in charge of Migao Company for less than a year, and the foundation is not stable. Song of Gaixia is a film project he insists on going his own way. Will he still want to take on Late Ming Dynasty Dream?

But now, Harvey has made up his mind. He said to Yu Zhan, Adam told me before that Liu Man is a student and has not signed with any performing arts company, nor does she have an agent.

Yu Zhan nodded, Yes, she doesn't belong to any company. In fact, I can't help her make decisions.

Then about Yu Ji's role, let's talk to her when she recovers from her injury, Harvey said, Today we will only talk about the copyright of Last Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty, what is your expected price?
