I'm not just a director

Chapter 115 The Unpleasant Xiaoxie

After Jiang Pei'an left Li Lianjie's house, he was thinking about the casting of "Taken" all the way.

Li Lianjie recommended an actor to him, and Jiang Pei'an was also quite familiar with this person.

Even many friends who like to read online articles are familiar with it.

"Fighting into a horse!"

In the entertainment circle, there are stars with real kung fu, and what everyone thinks of are Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Wu Jing and other actors.

Among these martial arts stars, Li Lianjie's famous work is "Shaolin Temple".

Back then, there was a movie that was as famous as this drama, and it also happened in the background of Shaolin Temple.

"Kapok Cassock".

Presumably younger people may not have seen it.

The number one villain in it is played by Yu Rongguang, who is also a martial arts star.

Except for the drama version of "Fights Break Sphere", he was scolded out of the circle as the director.

Many people should be familiar with Gao Xixi's version of "Three Kingdoms", in which he plays Guan Yu and the second master.

He has participated in movies and TV series such as "Baby Wolf", "Da Wusheng" and "Winning the Championship".

He was born in an artistic family, and his father, Mr. Yu, was a famous Peking Opera performer.

Yu Rongguang was admitted to the Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe in Beijing at the age of 11 as an actor and studied martial arts. He has studied Peking Opera for ten years since he was a child.

Born in the Mainland and raised in the Mainland, but he worked very early in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Kapok Cassock" is his first collaboration with Hong Kong director Xu Xiaoming.

Since then, he has experienced action films such as "Mirage", "Three Heroes of the Nguyen Family" and "Blood, Tears and Enmity".

Yu Rongguang, who is not from a major, has gradually mastered filming experience and acting skills.

In the 90s, Yu Rongguang officially developed in Hong Kong Province. During this period, Yu Rongguang shot more than [-] films, more than Li Lianjie's works.

Yu Rongguang is tall and handsome, giving the impression that he is a tough guy in the film industry.

In 1993, he co-starred with Lin Qingxia in "The Undefeated East".

In the same year, his partner Donnie Yen starred in "The Iron Horse of Huang Feihong".

This movie is definitely a classic martial arts action movie of the 90s.

Yuan Baye's movements are designed with hard bridges and horses, even if he flies over the eaves and walls, it is quite realistic.

Yu Rongguang's waist, Donnie Yen's leg skills, and Ren Shiguan's punches, the fighting scenes at the beginning and end are quite exciting.

After the film was released, it also achieved a box office of more than 400 million US dollars in North America, ranking among the top box office performances of Chinese-language films in North America.

And in "Letter to Dad", which he collaborated with Li Lianjie, he played the black boss, black sunglasses, and black windbreaker to fight fiercely, which is very impressive.

Yu Rongguang is one of the mainland filmmakers who got up early to go to Hong Kong to develop.

He has worked in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong Province for many years. He has filmed classic action movies and many third-rate commercial works.

In the 90s, Yu Rongguang could only be regarded as a second- and third-tier martial arts star in Hong Kong Province, and he failed to become popular.

……

"Yu Rongguang... he is currently happily working as a director and producer. Compared with these two professions, he is quite suitable as an actor."

Jiang Pei'an thought while holding the script.

In fact, there are quite a lot of male actors to choose from at this stage, and Zhang Fengyi is not bad.

It just looks too blunt, giving people a naive feeling.

I don't know if it was influenced by "In the Name of the People", but Jiang Pei'an always thinks of anti-corruption officials when looking at him.

Ding Haifeng is also fine, Fa Ge is fine, Wu Jing is too young.

Jiang Wen... It is estimated that "Taken" will take three years to shoot!
The worst thing is for Guo Da to come up, after all, Guo Da is Statham.

Apart from Li Lianjie, Jiang Pei'an is actually quite fond of Zunlong.

But this one...Jiang Pei'an shook his head, the China Film Group would definitely not be able to pass the test.

At present, he still prefers Yu Rongguang.

I just don't know if this boss has the intention to come and break through the world.

……

In addition to visiting Li Lianjie this time, Jiang Pei'an also went to meet Tsui Hark.

After all, he had promised Gong Li to come over before, and Xu Ke also tried his best to invite him over the phone.

Jiang Pei'an first called to greet Mr. Xu.

Knowing that he happened to be free now, Jiang Pei'an went to visit his private residence.

After arriving at the place, Old Freak Xu was greeting the guests.

Excuse me, what a coincidence.

Sitting carelessly on the sofa was none other than Xiao Xie, the popular fried chicken that Jiang Pei'an accidentally caught a glimpse of yesterday on the street.

Sitting next to him was his girlfriend, Wang Fei, who had just been officially announced some time ago.

The two were photographed holding hands, which was hyped by the good media as "holding hands of the century".

Wang Fei's appearance does not belong to "sweet hanging", let alone a youthful "baby face".

When she was young, she was a bit mature, but when she got older, she became one of the most anti-aging female stars in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Pei'an's thigh, Yu Feihong, also belongs to this type.

"Anzi, I have been friends with you for a long time, and today we finally meet."

Xu Ke, who is over half a century old, looks like a weird little old man.

He smiled and invited Jiang Pei'an to sit down.

"Hi Director Xu."

Jiang Pei'an greeted politely.

Xie Tingfeng next to him glanced at Jiang Pei'an, nodded his head as a greeting, and continued to focus on the mobile phone he was playing with.

At the age of 20, he is so peeing, and he looks like he is not afraid of seeing anyone upset.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fei, who was very cold on the Internet, stretched out his hand to him and greeted him in Mandarin:

"Hi Director Jiang, I like your song "I Remember" very much."

"My dear Miss Wang Fei, I also like your music very much."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Xiao Xie glanced at the hands Jiang Pei'an and Wang Fei held together, and continued to play with the phone with his head down.

Jiang Pei'an was a little dazed at his inexplicable look.

What, you can't even shake hands with your girlfriend?
When Jiang Pei'an took his seat, Xu Ke brought over the tea and said:
"Before you came, I chatted with Ah Fei and Ting Feng about you, the three of you are all playing music.

Anzi, what do you think of "Upstream and Against the Current"? "

What do you think?
Now I haven't seen it yet!

But Jiang Pei'an knew that it was Old Freak Xu who was asking him what he thought of the movie's title.

Speaking of it, this movie should be regarded as a pretty good work among the many old monster Xu's movies.

In the mid-to-late 90s, as the Hong Kong film market entered a downturn, many Hong Kong film producers began to set their sights on the North American film market, trying to seek opportunities in Hollywood.

Relying on the new style of martial arts films, Xu Ke, who was proud of the spring breeze in the 90s, was forced by the market environment.

Walked into Hollywood in 1997, seeking a career turnaround.

He combined the elements of martial arts films with North American spy films, and shot the gunfight work "Double Fire".

Although well-produced, the film performed poorly at the North American box office.

After "Double Firepower", Xu Ke created "KO Thunder Strike" in 1998 with a gunfight theme.

However, the performance of the film after its release in North America was also very unsatisfactory.

The two works in succession suffered box office Waterloo.

Mr. Xu's Hollywood movie journey fell into a trough at the very beginning.

In 2000, the disheartened Mr. Xu returned to Hong Kong Province, hoping to revive his reputation as a director with the gunfight film "Upstream and Countercurrent".

After the release of "Upstream and Countercurrent", it has attracted much attention at major international film festivals.

Xu Laoguai proved his directing ability with this film.

This movie is still an old-fashioned Hong Kong movie plot, but it has a King of Sunglasses-style movie narration and conscious shots.

Let "Upstream and Countercurrent" perform exceptionally well in terms of emotional expression.

Simply put, full of flavor!

"Whether it is upstream or upstream, it is a state of life.

Director Xu's arrangement is actually to let the two protagonists break the order.

From the original life of downstream or upstream, it becomes upstream and downstream. "

Jiang Pei'an thought for a while, and said based on his experience of watching movies in his previous life.

Xu Ke nodded, neither saying yes nor no.

Even the Hong Kong media couldn't figure out his thoughts, let alone Jiang Pei'an.

"Anzi, you are also a musician. According to your feelings, what style do you think the theme song should be?"

Xu Ke asked again.

"Rock."

Jiang Pei'an replied without hesitation.

"Tsk."

Xiao Xie on the side let out a disdainful sneer.

Jiang Pei'an raised his eyes and saw that he was leaning on the sofa carelessly, focusing on his mobile phone.

It seemed that the sneer just now was caused by seeing something on the phone.

But Jiang Pei'an was [-]% sure that he was definitely laughing at himself.

The prince of Hong Kong Province is very crazy, and he vividly interprets the words "young and frivolous".

But Jiang Pei'an thought about it again, and immediately understood why this guy sneered.

The theme song of "Upstream and Against the Current" was originally intended to be Xie Tingfeng's "Not a Theorem".

It's also a rock song.

But Xu Ke felt that this song was personally created by the Emperor for Xie Tingfeng.

Personal style is too strong!

When he had a choice, he wanted to find a theme song that was more suitable for the movie.

Xu Ke nodded, gunfight and rock and roll are indeed good partners.

"Any ideas?"

Xu Ke asked.

Jiang Pei'an was just going through the motions, and never thought of writing songs for Xu Ke.

But Xiao Xie's attitude just now made him a little unhappy.

You can sing rock and roll, so the movie will use your song?

Hey, I don't.

"Director Xu, I have an idea, but due to the equipment, I probably can't sing it live."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Oh, you can give me the lyrics first, and we can record the demo later."

Xu Ke became interested, and Wang Fei on the side also looked in this direction.

Xiaoxie... is still greedy for snakes on mobile phones.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and wrote on the paper with a pen:
""presumptuous"."

the moment of birth
buried alive
Worship to the goal day and night

who is great

……

You only get crazy once in your life

To be mature is to be childish

Whoever is rare and similar is willing to be the same

Who cares about copying other people's stories

……

It's Xiaoxie's song, but it was released very late.

The blurred melody of electronic rock is very ear-catching, and the chorus part is also very explosive.

It can be called Xiaoxie's masterpiece in the middle and late stages.

The one who can defeat Xiao Xie is Xiao Xie, and Jiang Pei'an chose this song because of his bad taste.

At least now the song is his!
Well, it belongs to face-to-face NTR.

Xu Ke showed Wang Fei the lyrics. As for Xiao Xie...

"Got to the recording studio."

Wang Fei glanced at Jiang Pei'an and said.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, rock and roll is not like a folk song, this song has to be tutored by musical instruments.

"This song is not suitable for me to sing, it needs to be sung by others."

My family knows my own family affairs, Jiang Pei'an can sing pop and folk songs well.

Rock and roll is really out of the question.

Xu Ke and Wang Fei turned their eyes to Xiao Xie who was playing with his mobile phone at the same time.

Xiao Xie put down the phone, waved his hands and said:
"I don't accept other people..."

"Chen Guanxi."

Before Xiao Xie finished speaking, Jiang Pei'an took the lead directly.

Three people:?
……

Guan Xige and Xiao Xie are known as the twin stars of the Hong Kong music scene.

The two are also good brothers and have a deep friendship.

That afternoon, Xu Ke invited Guan Xige to the recording studio.

Brother Guanxi was stunned when he saw the lyrics and score. This song is obviously very suitable for Xiao Xie.

Why do you want to sing by yourself?
Xiao Xie shrugged his shoulders, but at the same time he felt a little bit annoyed.

That's how people are, when you don't want what you give, and when you give it to someone else, you will naturally feel upset.

The lawless 20-year-old Xiao Xie expresses his displeasure even more simply and rudely.

He directly threw the four of them off, and sat on the sofa in the recording studio with his legs crossed... greedy for snakes.

"Let me try?"

Brother Guanxi glanced at his good brother and said to Xu Ke.

"try it."

Xu Ke nodded.

Brother Guanxi is in his prime now, and he is handsome and good-looking.

Unlike the later generations, singing and dancing on stage for a few minutes is already sweating profusely, and the singing is relatively ordinary.

Now he is in high spirits, and he sang "Presumptuous".

Although a little panting, but the voice state is much better than later generations!

Xu Ke was listening to the demo, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically.

"I feel that for this song, Brother Ting Feng's concert is better."

Brother Guanxi suggested from the side.

When Xiao Xie on the side heard the words, his body tensed up.

This song is indeed unexpectedly good. If he sings it, it will definitely have a different taste.

However, Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:

"I think your rhythm is more comfortable, what does Director Xu think?"

"The song is very good, the singing... An Zi's words are good."

In the end, Xu Ke decided on the song, and the singer also listened to Jiang Pei'an's suggestion, and Guan Xi would perform.

Although Xu Ke tried to persuade him to stay, Jiang Pei'an still offered to leave.

"Hope to meet again next time, you are excellent."

Xu Ke held Jiang Pei'an's hand and said with a smile.

"There will definitely be opportunities."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Wang Fei also came out to say hello:
"I will make another appointment next time I return to the capital. Director Jiang, you have refreshed my understanding of you again."

"Thank you."

Jiang Pei'an glanced at Xiao Xie at the side, and pointed out:

"You have also refreshed my understanding of you, let's make an appointment again when we return to Beijing."

After Jiang Pei'an left, Xiao Xie and Wang Fei also bid farewell.

"Are you interested in him?"

Xiao Xie said sourly from the side.

"Not bad, can write folk songs and rock, and is an international director."

Xiao Xie felt inexplicably irritated when he heard his girlfriend who seldom praised others or even greeted strangers say so.

"Don't mention him again, OK?"

Wang Fei glanced at him inexplicably.

Xiao Xie walked ahead like an angry child, leaving only a cool back.

Wang Fei stood there and looked at his back.

It happened that Jiang Pei'an, who had just come out of the supermarket to buy cigarettes, saw this scene.

He shook his head, is this a quarrel?
Feng Feilian.

I heard they broke up again in 2002...

　The update is over, my fault, I was pestered by the idiot Party A for a whole day today.

　　Brothers in the film and television industry, you need to be cautious when shooting real estate films!
