Chapter 649 'Go see you now'
Movies released in mid-June this year have been put into the Dragon Boat Festival schedule.
This year the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 20th, so we have three days off.
There is a remote movie "The Legend of the Evil" co-produced with Yinhuang, which will be released on the 18th.
The golden lineup of Chang Wei, Liu Qingyun and Louis Koo.
This script was originally intended to be produced in South Korea, but Li Yabo, the production director of Yinwang, said that the script was very suitable for the taste of Hong Kong Island, so he stayed in Hong Kong Island.
The Hong Kong Island co-production company has a dedicated project team to follow up. It has worked with Yinhuang for many years, and they are familiar with each other, so there is no need to worry too much.
Cheng Yu'an now wants to see how Jiang Xuerou tinkers with the martial arts version of "John Wick".
The film is called "Stop Killing".
The film was brought to Cannes for investment, but ended badly.
Foreign film producers are still very interested in Chinese martial arts, but this small-budget 20 million movie does not have a big name to support it, so it is extremely difficult to attract investment.
Lionsgate wanted to buy out the North American rights for US$500,000, but Jiang Xuerou refused.
Netflix wanted the streaming rights, but they didn’t want to pay a deposit and said they would wait until they saw the trailer in the middle of filming.
"Stop Killing" failed to win at Cannes.
Jiang Xuerou has lost her temper. Martial arts movies are not made for you foreigners. If you don’t vote for them, why don’t I do it?
After returning to China, she immediately organized people to write the script, code the actors, gather the crew, and contact the venue.
Due to cost constraints, Jiang Xuerou did not hire big names. The director used Lu Yang's assistant director Qiao Sanshi. He was also a martial arts fan and had his own views on martial arts.
She wanted to use her old subordinate Yu Bo as the male lead, but Yu Bo was not as enthusiastic about filming anymore and was not short of money for filming, so he didn't agree to her invitation.
I don’t know where she contacted Xie Miao. Xie Miao decided to star as soon as she read the synopsis of the story.
Wu Zhi is still Sang Lin from "Xiu Chun Dao".
Although the cost was small, Jiang Xuerou had great ambitions for this film.
She knew that "John Wick" was going to create a killer universe, so she made a similar attempt with "Stop Killing".
The background of "Stop the Killing" is set in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. For this reason, she did not hesitate to organize a historical advisory group to participate in the scriptwriting, and wanted to incorporate the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty and the entire intricate world.
But haste makes waste. After Cheng Yu'an read Jiang Xuerou's first draft of the script, she raised her question: "There were too many things packed into the first part. If you want to create a Tang Dynasty world, you can't be in such a hurry.
There is enough stuff in one film to make three or four films. The first film should be simpler, just a revenge story, with the world view and clues firmly buried, and the second and third films will be released slowly later.
"Based on your script, there are too many characters, the relationships are too complicated, and the political forces are too chaotic. The audience will not be able to figure out the clues after watching it."
"Let's make this a general outline. I've re-written the script for the first part."
Cheng Yu'an also wants to see if "Stop Killing" will pave a new way for martial arts to fight.
Although "Xiu Chun Knife" made a profit, it was not a critical success, and the first film failed to break the 100 million mark.
The only one who was out of the circle was the supporting character Ding Xiu. When Lu Yang was writing this character, he really didn't expect that he would be out of the circle.
Especially his two lines: "You have to pay more" and "This girl is very smooth."
He was jokingly called "Jiaqian Jushi" and "Brother Run" by netizens.
The second part of "Xiu Chun Knife" has been confirmed to be filmed. Ning Hao will supervise the production and the script is currently being written.
Only the character Shen Lian from the original lineup has been retained. Lu Yang has already revealed that the second part will be a brand new story.
Liu Shishi also wanted to win the heroine in the second film, but Lu Yang didn't know why, so he didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.
The company promised her to give her at least one heroine movie every year.
"Female Doctor: Legend of the Concubine" was completed last year, but there is still no sign of the female protagonist this year.
Liu Shishi had had enough rest and wanted to come back to work. She kept asking the company for a play, but Lu Yang wouldn't let go, and Cai Yinong couldn't come up with a script suitable for her.
Liu Shishi asked Liu Yifei for help. She knew that her acting career was highly overlapped with that of her younger sister, and that the role of a long-distance heroine would definitely go through Liu Yifei's hands.
Liu Yifei is pregnant and can't work. She must have a lot of scripts in her hands, so she is the right one.
Just because she was her bridesmaid, Liu Yifei couldn't ignore her.
Don't tell me, Liu Yifei really has a script in her hands.
"I know the two dramas haven't been confirmed yet," Liu Yifei said.
Seeing Liu Shishi's puzzled expression, Liu Yifei smiled and said: "You should really change your temperament. You don't care about anything and don't care about anything. You don't know about the company's drama. No wonder others call you Xianyu Shi."
"I just came back." She just came back from traveling.
"Xiang Yukun is preparing a brain-burning suspenseful crime film. It will start shooting in October. The heroine has been selected as teacher Gong Li, but now there is a shortage of a second female lead."
Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, it will definitely be a good show if Gong Li joins the cast.
The second female is the second female, not shabby.
"Tell me more specifically." Liu Shishi moved his buttocks a little, looking forward to this drama.
"The movie is called "The Invisible Guest". It tells the story of the male protagonist and his mistress who accidentally hit and killed a person. After destroying the body and destroying all traces, the deceased's parents came to seek revenge. Gong Li played the mother, and now she is missing
You can play the mistress. If you want to play the role, let me tell Xing Yukun."
Liu Yifei read the script and found out that the mistress was a bad woman and had very high requirements for acting skills. She was the one who persuaded the male protagonist to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
She was a little worried that her good sister wouldn't be able to play this role.
Liu Yifei told Liu Shishi about the characteristics of the character, and Liu Shishi was weighing it in his mind.
Seeing Liu Shishi's hesitation, Liu Yifei immediately gave her a step down: "The other drama is Xue Xiaolu's romance film, called "Going to See You Now," and it's about..." Liu Yifei gave her the drama again.
said.
Liu Yifei was actually a bit reluctant to show this drama.
This drama is Xue Xiaolu’s postpartum comeback drama prepared for her!
It’s time travel, amnesia, cancer, and love.
It’s full of gory elements, but it’s really touching!
Liu Yifei cried after reading the script and punched Cheng Yu'an twice.
But Liu Yifei couldn't bear to see her good sister so pitiful and had no role to play, so she stupidly and generously took part in this drama.
After Liu Yifei told this story, Liu Shishi liked it very much.
In order to dispel her worries, Liu Yifei said: "Look at me like this, I can't make a movie. I even suggested to Xiaolu to find you before, but by chance you came."
"If you like it, go see Director Xiaolu tomorrow. But the filming time may be a little later, and it will start filming in Qiongdao at the end of the year."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry right now." So Liu Shishi accepted the role and said with a smile, "You'd better be nice to me."
"I am not as good to you as your Yao Dong."
The two have already made an appointment, but Yao Dong has always been behind the scenes. He is Cheng Yuan's literary coordinator and chief screenwriter, but he has not signed a labor contract with the company. He is a serious university literature professor, so he does not plan to announce it to the public.
Chapter completed!
