Chapter 103 Shakespeare's Plays

After spending a little money on meals, Xia Li successfully gained the favor of several martial arts masters.

The return on investment is rich, at least the supporting roles used for sparring in the movie should be fine.

"I'm here because I want to ask a few of you to do me a favor, and of course I'm helping you too."

Soon Xia Li and several martial arts masters of the Republic of China expressed their intention to recruit them to be stunt performers, and at the same time explained a little why they did this.

This made Huang Feihong and the others look at each other in dismay, and the two who were curiously nibbling on the chicken burger in their hands were also stunned for a moment, looking at the things in their hands and thinking in their hearts, there really is no such thing as a free meal in the world.

"Of course it's okay, little brother, although I don't know what making a movie is, but this will let us go back, right?"

Huang Feihong cupped his hands and said politely, although he was dazzled by the modern technological life, but because it was too prosperous and peaceful, he realized that he did not belong here.

"Haha, it's very simple, just hit a little with your skills."

Xia Li thought that with the skills of these few people, even if it was a fake fight, ordinary people would not be able to see anything unusual.

The reason why Jing Wu heroes were so shocking when they first came out is that in the scene of the final battle, the space was compressed to a very low level, so that the audience can know that the actors are not overbearing.

This kind of realism can bring an immersive sense of oppression, although the current little fresh meat can't understand even if it is coercion.

Xia Li believed that with Huang Feihong and the others' skills, they could be overwhelmed?Don't you look down on Foshan Wuying legs who kicked seven times in a row!

After getting a few real action actors, Xia Li was satisfied and Fu Hua returned to the film and television city with them.

Then he went to Shakespeare to discuss the specific plot, and he didn't know how this guy's film major was doing.

When I saw Shakespeare again, his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were still red and he was staring at the documents in front of him.

"How are you doing, Shakespeare."

Xia Li said hello and asked casually.

"Well, I really still can't understand it, the things written on it without physical guidance are too vague."

Shakespeare rubbed his forehead with some headaches. Although he has worked as a director, screenwriter, and actor before, he should be familiar with this set in theory.

But in fact, he was still dazed after watching it for a long time. Although they were all actors and scripts, there were no scenes, special effects, coercion, or spotlights in the stage play!
He just looked at it and wondered if he was illiterate. Why did he know every word, but he didn't know what it meant when they were combined?
"If it really doesn't work, use the treasure."

Seeing Shakespeare's headache, Xia Li suddenly suggested.

"Isn't the effect of your Noble Phantasm just to let the world follow the script? Set yourself up as the world's best modern director."

"NO! NO! NO! My treasure is a stage for impassioned stories, how can it be used for such things."

Shakespeare shook his head and stretched out his fingers to keep gesticulating. This is a matter of principle that he cannot agree to.

How could he be a director himself, even though Xia Li did not approve of his directorship.

"Then you should hurry back and finish your studies!"

Xia Li said that it's okay if you don't want to use the treasure, but first learn the modern movie set.

"...Can we discuss changing it into a stage play? We are the best at it!"

Shakespeare rubbed his hands and said with some sarcasm, and got a stern negative reply from Xia Li.

Seeing that Xia Li had no tendency to think about it at all, Shakespeare also extinguished his attention to continue persuading to change the stage play.

"Then let's discuss the setting of the male and female protagonists, Master, what kind of twists and turns and interesting life experiences and experiences do you want!"

Shakespeare changed his tone and suddenly became excited. If there was anything that interested him the most, it would be letting Xia Li play the leading role in his script.

"Don't twist the clutch!"

Xia Li glanced at Shakespeare and shook his head very firmly to refuse. Shakespeare must be thinking about something evil in his heart.

"Why?! Master, don't you know how to appreciate art!"

Shakespeare suddenly covered his forehead very sadly, and said excitedly.

"The twists and turns you mentioned are just trying to make the audience cry, right? Understand that this is a commercial film! It's not an art film. Happy End with a happy ending is the mainstream!"

Shakespeare still knows a little bit about urine and summer calendar, but if you want him to be the leading role, you have to be extremely careful.

The last tragic and unlucky guy who participated in Shakespeare's play was called Oberon, and he hated Shakespeare so much.

"Isn't A Midsummer Night's Dream written by me an HE ending?"

"You wrote about a four-cornered love, right?! It's disgusting, are all the feudal nobles so messy?"

"..."

When Shakespeare heard his Master's comment, he suddenly became a little dark as if struck by lightning, muttering about free love, resisting feudalism, fighting for rights and so on.

"It's the first time I've heard such a ruthless and vicious evaluation from someone other than my peers."

However, Shakespeare quickly adjusted his mood. Isn't it just that the work has been evaluated by others, and a work can be praised even if it is praised.

And Shakespeare, from the current point of view, does have many things worth revising in his previous works.

Under the forcible suppression of the summer calendar, Shakespeare had no choice but to put away his inner excitement, wanting to show the narrative style of the magnificent era of change.

"The tone of the grand narrative is actually very good, but it doesn't match the tone of the movie I expected to shoot."

Xia Li touched his chin and nodded frequently, listening to Shakespeare's enthusiastically conceived script, he had to say that the professional said it sounded decent, at least better than he, a layman, thought.

Almost all of the teams he recruited were related to martial arts, and naturally they had to make the best use of everything to their advantage. In his opinion, one of the main selling points of the movie must be the excellent fighting scenes.

With Fu Hua and Huang Feihong here, there is no need to worry about the action design, or even the authenticity of the fighting scenes, because they are fighting for real!
No matter how you look at it, action movies and grand narratives are a bit inconsistent, because action kung fu movies just emphasize personal force, which is a very obvious personal heroism.

"Master, don't you believe in my level! Although I have never seen an action movie, all scripts will be affected by the background at that time."

Shakespeare shook his head and refuted Xia Li's idea. The tone of the grand narrative does not lie in what type of movie, or even all types of movies, as long as they show the whole picture of the current era with heart and seriousness.

It can be said to be a kind of grand narrative.

"Are you going to make a kung fu biographical movie?"

Xia Li took a strange look at Shakespeare. It seemed that a grand narrative movie with the theme of kung fu action was about the history of kung fu in China.

"Master, what do you think of this? The hero and heroine are set as modern people."

"But they strayed into history one day, and took risks in various eras to witness the famous martial arts masters in history. At the same time, they grew up and learned a lot, and they sublimated themselves during the journey."

"This is a story called inheritance and growth."

Seeing Shakespeare's weird and excited smile, Xia Li squinted his eyes. Why does he feel that the plot is so familiar?
What are you implying?
