This star is too fierce

Chapter 257, "The Promise" and "Myth"

When it comes to Brother Chen Kai, one has to mention Chen Hong.

When she was young, she was also a big beauty, she was so beautiful, and she played the role of Diao Chan many times.

And big beauties are naturally pursued by many people, but Chen Hong doesn't like handsome guys, but talented people. She married Chen Kai early in 96. Although Chen Kai is a good director, she looks very ordinary, which makes many people Think of it as "flowers stuck in cow dung".

When Lu Bu came to the private room, he saw Brother Chen Kai.

Indeed, the eyes of the masses are discerning.

Chen Hong didn't come with her companions, but only brought an assistant.

After a simple greeting, the waiter served the food, and a few people chatted while eating.

"It's a pity that Guorong couldn't come to film Lao Xu's "Seven Swords" in Tianshan, otherwise we can have a few drinks." Brother Chen Kai knew that Zhang Guorong and Lu Bu had a good relationship, so he started to play the relationship card.

"Brother is very busy recently." Lu Bu smiled lightly.

"Didn't they find you for this drama? You are the only 'Sword God' in our entertainment circle." Chen Kai asked.

"I was looking for me, but it happened to be filming other movies at the time, so there was no schedule." Lu Bu used the universal reason of "schedule".

"That's a pity, Lao Xu has been preparing for this movie for a long time." Brother Chen Kai sighed.

We chatted for a while.

Lu Bu has a certain understanding of Brother Chen Kai. He is a person who has both the oversensitivity of a cultural person and the self-confidence of a cadre's son.

Not as down-to-earth as Xu Krypton and Jiang Wen, easy to get along with.

It is also understandable, after all, he came from a good background, his father is the famous director Chen Huaiai, and he became famous early. At the age of 32, his debut film "Yellow Earth" won the Silver Leopard Award at the Locarno International Film Festival.

Later, not to mention "Farewell My Concubine" in 93, it won numerous awards. The literary film "Wind Moon" in 96 and the historical film "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" in 98 were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival that year. In 02, "With You" won the Palme d'Or Award for Best Director of the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award.

At present, it can be regarded as a Chinese director with a high reputation in the world.

However, his word-of-mouth polarized severely.

Many viewers think that there is only one "Farewell My Concubine" that he can get his hands on, and feel that the success of this movie is mainly due to his father, who only plays a guiding role.

The evaluation of him on the Internet is that he is a director who is not good at telling stories, but only about atmosphere. His movies have a very obvious characteristic. It is always in the clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of being unclear.

After eating almost, the waiter cleared the table and brought a fruit platter.

Brother Chen Kai just started talking about business. After briefly explaining his intentions, he gave the script to Lu Bu.

【——"The Promise"】

Lu Bu moved the script aside so that Yu Feihong could also read it.

【summary of the story:
A poor girl ran away after asking a noble boy for food. On the way, she met Manshen. Manshen asked her: "Do you want to be the woman all men in the world want? The price is that you will never get true love." The girl agreed Later, she became the most beautiful princess in the world, enjoying all the honor and luxury, but was cursed by fate and could never get true love.

The humble Kunlun slave loved her sincerely and gave her the right to choose again at the cost of her own life.

And the process of getting true love is not so smooth. Princess Qingcheng still has to engage in an earth-shattering love wrestling between Duke Wuhuan of the North, General Guangming, and slave Kunlun. 】

Historical romance?
This was Yu Feihong's first feeling after reading the outline of the story.

And it's a quadrilateral.

But looking down, there are many more fantasy elements.

Epic romance?
Epic fantasy?
Epic fantasy romance?
Yu Feihong didn't understand the story, so it was hard for him to give Lu Bu any advice.

After reading a rough idea, Lu Bu closed the script, maintaining a calm expression from the beginning to the end, calm and calm, unable to tell whether he liked it or disliked it.

"Our current tentative heroine is the popular Hong Kong actress Zhang Bozhi, and then the popular Korean actor Jang Dong Gun, the powerful Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada, and the popular young king of Hong Kong Xie Tingfeng..." Brother Chen Kai introduced the cast.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly.

There are actually two acquaintances.

One of them was his little girl.

"Our main creative team is also very strong. The photographer is Bao Dexi who has filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Zhong Zhixing, who won the award in "Football"..." The assistant also helped to say.

Lu Bu listened quietly.

It can be seen that this movie is indeed a big production.

You can also see Chen Kai's ambition.

"I hope you can play the role of the male No. 500 Kunlun slave, and the salary will be [-] million." Chen Kai is still quite confident about winning Lu Bu.

It took two years to carefully polish the script, and such ample funds, as well as popular and powerful actors from China, Japan, and South Korea, plus he personally performed the knife.

As long as the shooting is announced, for such a good movie, the actors will all fight their heads to get a role.

You know, for film and television dramas, good actors will make the story more layered and in-depth presented to the audience, and actors can rely on good roles to enhance their popularity, and even win awards, so that their next career With the wind and the water, who wouldn't want to fight for such an opportunity?

Yu Feihong was a little tempted by what was said. Regardless of whether the script is good or not, the investment and lineup alone are very attractive, so he turned his head and asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "What do you think?"

Lu Bu patted the back of her hand, signaling that she was not in a hurry, and turned to Brother Chen Kai: "Thank you very much for the invitation, Director Chen, can you give me two days to think about it? After all, the male lead who has never acted in a movie, I am afraid Can't do it."

Chen Kaige heard these words, nothing more than two possibilities, one is a humble resignation, and the other is a push to raise the price, so he chuckled and said: "Of course, you can call me when you think about it."

The assistant then handed over his business card.

After sending the two away, Yu Feihong asked Lu Bu again: "You don't want to take this drama?"

Lu Bu said frankly: "The story doesn't attract me very much. A general, a duke, a princess, a slave, and an assassin are connected by a witch. From it, I can't see a complete world view, and the story line is not clear. , and the characters are not plump enough.”

Yu Feihong smiled awkwardly, and said, "I don't even understand the script very well."

Lu Bu smiled lightly: "The script is mainly incomplete, and it's normal if you don't understand it."

Yu Feihong pursed his lips, and said again: "I thought you were not satisfied with the salary and wanted to push it."

"No." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "500 million, which is about the same as the TV series, but it's actually not bad."

Yu Feihong said softly: "Okay." She did not continue this topic, but instead said: "Isn't Brother Xu's concert coming soon? Currently there is only Brother Xu as a guest, do you want to help out?"

Lu Bu thought for a while. On the 27th, there is still half a month. There is still time, and he said, "Yes."

Yu Feihong smiled and said: "Okay, then I will arrange it, and sing "Too Much" and "Once Upon a Time You"."

Lu Bu tapped her on the head lightly, and said, "Isn't it you who want to hear it?"

Yu Feihong responded to his intimate gesture by sticking out his tongue playfully, showing the side of a little woman, and then said honestly: "No."

Lu Bu dotingly said: "Okay."

Stayed in the hot pot restaurant until [-] pm, then went to the airport to pick up Yang Shoucheng, accompanied by Tang Jili.

Tang Jili is quite well-known. He is a well-known action director, director, screenwriter, and film and television producer in Xiangjiang.

In 94, he directed the action movie "Red Fan District" and also acted as an action director. The film broke the record of the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the United States and made Cheng Cage famous in Hollywood. And won the Best Action Direction of the Academy Awards, and "Police Story 4 Simple Mission" written and directed the following year also won the Best Action Direction Awards of the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards.

Kungfu is also very good. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He has practiced Mantis, Xingyi, Wing Chun, Hongquan and other styles of boxing. He is best at Dachengquan.

In the car.

With a smile on his face, Yang Shoucheng chatted about the purpose of the trip, and said solemnly: "Xiao Lu, this time I bought this script from Director Tang with the cheek, you can't refuse to act."

Tang Jili said: "Yang Sheng, you are serious. It is my honor to see my script."

Lu Bu smiled heartily and said, "President Yang, don't worry, I, Lu Bu, keep my word."

Yang Shoucheng smiled satisfied, and said: "I read the script, it is a very good story, and the male lead is also very suitable for you." Then, he said to Tang Jili: "Director Tang, tell Xiao Lu about it."

Tang Jili nodded and started from the beginning.

original……

This is the first script he wrote, which can be said to be very meaningful, so he likes it very much. The inspiration came from his trip to Xi'an. When he visited the Terracotta Army, he suddenly had a dream of a general in his mind, and then he wrote it. story.

But when he went to the boss with the completed script and expressed his thoughts, the boss was not optimistic and suggested that he continue to make action movies, because in the boss's view, romance movies, whether they are domestic or foreign, are difficult to make big. Selling, and finding some more famous hero and heroine will cost more than half of the budget. The gain is not worth the loss, and the risk is too great.

However, he is a very stubborn person. Once he is convinced of one thing, he will never give up easily, even if everyone opposes it, so he found Emperor Entertainment and wanted him to invest in the filming.

After reading the script, Yang Shoucheng was very interested in the story, so he called Tang Jili to understand the situation.

Tang Jili said that the male protagonist's image was written according to Jin Chengwu, and then the female protagonist found Kim Hee-sun, who is known as "the most beautiful woman in Korea". With such a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with this poignant story, there is nothing to worry about. No seat.

But at this time, Yang Shoucheng was no longer satisfied with investing, and wanted to buy the script.

Tang Jili didn't dare to offend Yang Shoucheng, but he also insisted that he must direct and have the right to cast the film.

The reason why Yang Shoucheng bought the script was because he felt that the male lead was a perfect match for Lu Bu. After waiting for several years, he finally had the opportunity to cooperate, so he strongly recommended Lu Bu to Tang Jili.

When Tang Jili went to get to know Lu Bu, he abandoned Jin Chengwu on the spot.

at this time.

Lu Bu was filled with curiosity by what he said, and immediately asked, "What kind of story and character is it?"

Tang Jili replied: "This is a time-space interlaced mythical story, set in the Qin Dynasty and modern times, telling the touching love between General Meng Yi of Qin State and Princess Yushu of Koryo State that spanned thousands of years. Jack is an archaeologist. One night, he fell into a strange dream. In the dream, there was a man named Meng Yi, who was a general of the Qin Dynasty. He looked exactly like Jack..."

Lu Bu listened so fascinated that the car almost drove into a ditch.

This story attracted him more than Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

Although reincarnation and rebirth are not the same thing, there are some similarities in them, that is, the memory of the previous life.

However, some details are wrong.

The brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian have one article and one military. Meng Tian is in charge of the military and leads the army outside, while Meng Yi is in charge of the government and assists Qin Shihuang inside, and the official worships Shangqing.

But the people of Qin favored martial arts, and it was reasonable for Meng Yi to command troops to fight.

But "Korea" can't be justified. Since the Qin Dynasty is the background, some things can't be too wrong.

Lu Bu immediately corrected him: "In Qin Dynasty, there was no such country as Koryo, so it should be called 'Jizi Korea'."

Yang Shoucheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Look, I didn't recommend the wrong person, did I?"

A gleam flashed in Tang Jili's eyes, and he said, "Mr. Lu has research on the history of the Qin Dynasty?"

Lu Bu blurted out, "It's not really research, it's just close."

Yang Shoucheng: "?"

Tang Jili: "?"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, what does this mean?
Lu Bu hastily changed his words: "A little research."

What he said is also true, the end of the Qin Dynasty is the Western Han Dynasty, the end of the Western Han Dynasty is the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then it is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But there are also flaws. After all, the interval is more than 500 years. It is said that it is close, but it is not very close.

Tang Jili asked again: "Is there anything involved in it, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, marching and fighting?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

With a smile on Tang Jili's face, he said happily, "I sincerely invite you to be our historical and military advisor." You don't need to look up the information yourself, where can you find such a good thing.

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "This is no problem."

Along the way, we have already chatted a lot.

Had dinner.

A few people came to the Three Kingdoms again, drank some wine, listened to music, and confirmed the rest of the leading roles.

Yu Feihong planned to take this opportunity to promote artists in their studio, saying: "President Yang, Director Tang, can Zhang Guorong play the role of William?"

Tang Jili sighed, Zhang Guorong must be fine and precious, he only said: "I'm afraid it will exceed the budget."

Yu Feihong continued: "Then what if it's a friendship price?"

Tang Jili was surprised and said: "You can let him play in a friendly price?"

Yu Feihong smiled lightly and said, "To tell you the truth, my brother just signed a contract with Lu Bu's studio not long ago."

Tang Jili let out an "oh" and immediately said with a smile, "No problem at all."

Lu Bu is currently not popular abroad, and cannot afford overseas box office.

Once Zhang Guorong joins, the promotion in other parts of Asia will be much easier.

This definitely agrees.

Then, Yu Feihong asked again: "About the role of Princess Yushu, does Kim Hee Sun have to play it?"

good guy...

Is this even the heroine wants to take away?

(PS: Ladies and gentlemen, is this role up for grabs or not? Who plays it depends on you, (乛乛).)
