Chapter 8 I promise you
Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.
Beijing, Huayi Film and Television Media.
Huang Wen handed Wang Zhonglei the script of "Embroidered Spring Sword", who opened it and wanted to see the plot summary.
"Why do you need to write a story about the Ming Dynasty? I don't like the Ming Dynasty!"
After taking the first look, Wang Zhonglei's face was already a little unhappy.
"'Embroidered Spring Sword, Flying Fish Clothing', the logo of the Jinyiwei, Mr. Wang, if you think the title of the movie is not appropriate, then what about our name "Jinyiwei"?"
"…Xu Hui is really attentive. He has been strictly particular about the character costumes. Look at it again. These are all character analysis. The story is quite complete!"
Wang Zhonglei did not stop Huang Wen said anything at all, but continued to read the script of "The Embroidered Chun Dao".
"Well, I also heard Xu Hui mention it. He said that if this movie is effective, it can be made into a series. After all, there are many stories about the Jinyiwei..."
"Series?"
Wang Zhonglei nodded and continued to read the script, with the actor's idea at the end.
"He thinks Deng Chao is very suitable for Shen Lian's character?"
"Well, that's what he said."
Wang Zhonglei silently calculated in his heart and nodded: "It's really suitable!"
"Wu Jing, Nie Yuan, Liu Yifei? He is quite good at choosing actors! It's still too natural. Without HK star joining, this drama can't be sold!"
Wang Zhonglei closed the script and looked at Huang Wen: "If we don't say anything else, it will cost at least more than 10 million to invest in this drama! There is no star with box office appeal, and no HK actors are the protagonists, this will definitely not work!"
Huang Wen explained: "He said he didn't like HK actors, and he also said that mainland audiences would like these actors who grew up with them..."
"Haha, let him find him! I don't believe it. These actors will believe in an idol singer who has no experience in directing. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will probably not be able to fool a few people! And next we will film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Deng Chao is the protagonist of the inner decisive role. Do you think he will turn down the martial arts of our Huayi production for a movie?"
"He said that both Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming are quite suitable for the role of Chen Lian..."
"Xiao Ming is filming in HK! And Wu Jing is also in HK."
"…I asked him to go to HK to find Wu Jing by himself."
Wang Zhonglei's face changed slightly, and he stared at Huang Wen: "Have you promised him?"
"No, I wanted him to give up, so I told him that as long as he could bring Wu Jing, I will help solve the rest!"
"Why should you solve it?"
Wang Zhonglei looked at Huang Wen with interest, wanting to know what he said.
"Mr. Wang, Xu Hui has already stated clearly that he only wants to make this movie for the time being. Even if we are stuck with him, he will find the crew and invest by himself. Why do you need to let his heart be disgusted?"
Huang Wen did not answer Wang Zhonglei, but continued to persuade him.
"You said it simply, help him film. Do you think Xu Hui has the ability to direct the crew? Or do you really believe that he can make this movie well?"
“…you can let him try!”
Wang Zhonglei was confused: "You said you would give it a try? Do you have money?"
"Xu Hui said that he can invest 10 million! Mr. Wang, Xu Hui alone will have millions of fans to contribute to the box office. As long as the quality of this drama is not bad, the possibility of our losses is very low!"
"…You go out first, I'll think about it."
Wang Zhonglei probably understood the meaning of Huang Wen's words.
It was just to tell him that Xu Hui was filmed in "The Embroidered Spring Sword". If Huayi is willing, he will help him do it together. If he is not optimistic, he will find another company.
Anyway, many big guys in Huang Wen have friendships.
...
"You'll help me create a series?"
Wu Jing couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I want to hear what your plans are!"
"Huang Feihong, I want to bring this character to the big screen again..."
Just as Xu Hui was about to speak, Wu Jing interrupted him again: "This character has been directed by countless great directors, and senior Guan Dexing has starred in countless film and television dramas of Huang Feihong..."
"I know, but that's not the style I want. The martial arts action movies I want must be freehand and beautifully played!"
Then Xu Hui gave a detailed explanation of Xu Ke's version of "Huang Feihong": "First of all, in terms of martial arts movements, I think we should abandon the previous deliberate realistic and add a little illusory moves, similar to the description of martial arts novels. Secondly, I think the character of Huang Feihong is very representative. He is a GD martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. We can give him a certain sense of the times and treat him as the "Chinese past" into a series..."
After saying this, Xu Hui began to praise the model: "Brother Wu Jing, you are the most famous action actor in the mainland now. I couldn't imagine anyone who would be more suitable for this role than you. Since I watched "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi", I discovered that you are definitely an action actor who can create an era!"
"In recent years, I have rarely seen you in the mainland film industry. To be honest, I feel a little regretful. After all, my favorite thing is still action movies!"
"What roles are you playing in HK now? Anti-number 1, killer, is it interesting?"
"It is impossible for directors like HK to praise a mainland actor who has not proved himself on the big screen!"
"Chenlong and Li Lianjie both have their own era of action movies. Don't you want to?"
The words were filled with tears and the expression was sincere.
Every director is a natural orator. In order to fool famous actors into acting in their own works, he can say anything.
For example, Wu Baige once called out Liu Huohua: "You are the actor I admire the most, this role was born for you!"
MMP, after reaching the Taiwan Rod, Liu Huohua realized that he was playing the fifth male lead. My Golden Horse Actor actually wanted to play the role of two newcomers who had only been in the industry for a year! Fortunately, this drama ended up falling!
For example, Jia Zhangke, the most famous producer of the man is the producer of the yongdian. When he went to HK to discuss distribution, Hong Kong businessmen asked him what the next film was. He actually didn't have it at all. In order to get the money, he spoke up: 'The story is like this. The whole movie is a story of a man and a woman in a rental house on a rainy night." Investors were ecstatic when they heard it, okay, there are restrictions! OK, no problem! Invest money! As a result, the thing that was shot in the end seemed to be called "Xiao Wu".
Wang Jiawei wanted Liang Chao to star in "Spring Light", but he didn't tell him that this was a gay film. When it was filmed, he directly struggled his anus. It is said that after Liang finished the bed scene, the sequelae was very serious...
From this perspective, Xu Hui is definitely the possibility of becoming a big director!
"You ask me to think about it again. I still have a movie I haven't finished!"
"Wolf Tooth"?"
"How do you know?"
Of course I know, I also know that this drama has a pitiful low box office!
"Brother Wu Jing, I only have three days. After three days, I have to go back to China to consider other ways. After all, if I come back from South Korea, if I have never had any works, it will be easy to lose popularity."
Xu Hui did not answer Wu Jing's question and stood up to take a break.
"Let's do this, tomorrow afternoon, we will make an appointment with the West Ring Road, and we will discuss it in detail then."
"OK!"
Xu Hui suppressed the joy in his heart and agreed.
He knew very well that since Wu Jing said so, it meant that he was inclined to star in this movie!
Chapter completed!
