Chapter 567: Dawn of Hope (-in-)

"Nalan Yuanshu is the Admiral of Guangdong Province. From the first-grade official rank, his city must be deeper than Huang Feihong, so here he should not have a fearful and wary expression towards Huang Feihong, but rather like a friend coming from afar. , I am extremely happy! This happiness is both real and fake, there is an element of playfulness, and there is also the real joy of sympathy as you just said."

Yang Yi waited for the audition to end before talking to Xie Cheng about the shortcomings in his performance just now.

Xie Cheng was disappointed at first, thinking that his acting skills could not pass Yang Yi's audition, and he missed an opportunity to star in a top-line action movie.

However, as he listened, Xie Cheng found that Yang Yi didn't seem to mean to let him go back home. Yang Yi's tone was very gentle, and what he said was not criticism. Instead, it was as if the director was narrating a play to him on the set, hoping that he could Act better!

"No matter what the result is, you are already lucky to have a great director like Yang Yi directing and directing a film! Look at how many frustrated actors he has made popular through filming in the past few years."

Xie Cheng thought silently in his heart, and also remembered what Yang Yi said.

"Look at me, after talking so much, I forgot to announce the results. Welcome Teacher Xie Cheng to join our "Once Upon a Time" crew."

Finally, Yang Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to Xie Cheng. In Xie Cheng's view, this was a hand of hope, a ray of light for the future!
The filming of the "Once Upon a Time" series of movies did not start so early. Yang Yi told him that the filming time for "Once Upon a Time Part 2: Men Should Be Strong" should be in the second half of the year. Before that, Xie Cheng can freely arrange his own time, such as Another movie to film.

"Director Yang, when will the training for this movie start? I heard that before you make a kung fu movie, you will gather all the actors for martial arts training." Xie Cheng's eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"Ah, by then we will be old enemies!" Yang Yi said jokingly.

It turns out that Yang Yi meant this. Like himself, he loves real martial arts movies and likes to perform action scenes with the most realistic and outstanding effects.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Xie Cheng, the Once Upon a Time (series of movies) we are going to shoot is different from the two TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon". There are many characters in the TV series, and many of the actors are Those who have no martial arts skills, or have not acted in such a martial arts-themed drama for a long time, need intensive training to find the feel," Yang Yi explained.

"Director Yang, may I venture to ask who will play the role of Huang Feihong in this movie?" Xie Cheng asked Yang Yi before leaving.

This is the current situation. Xie Cheng cannot change the capital's choice, nor can he criticize Yang Yi harshly for it. He still hopes to star in Yang Yi's movie and usher in the second spring of his career!
"Once Upon a Time is a movie, and there won't be too many characters, and not everyone in it knows kung fu, which is different from martial arts. So, I hope that the main fighting scenes in it can be played by martial arts actors, like before It’s the same as the Hong Kong martial arts films you are familiar with. If we want to shoot, we must shoot it realistically and set a new benchmark for domestic martial arts!”

Xie Cheng felt a little sad when he heard Yang Yi's words. There are too many such crews now, using actors who know nothing about martial arts. On the contrary, martial arts actors who are truly talented are not reused.

"Teacher Xie Cheng, with your skills, you don't need to participate in training, right?" Yang Yi laughed.

Xie Cheng was a little stunned.

However, Xie Cheng just heard Yang Yi say that he wanted to use real martial arts actors to shoot this movie. Is Yang Yi a real martial arts actor?
That’s okay too.
Xie Cheng really didn't know what Yang Yi's skills were, but he remembered the previous hot search. It seemed that Yang Yi had really gained some skills when he acted in "Dragon Movie", so he stepped up as a director and boss. Became a stuntman.

Now Yang Yi and the others are training in Dali, as Xu Xiaoqiang said yesterday.

Yang Yi changed the topic and suddenly talked about Xie Cheng with enthusiasm.

Judging from the stick technique demonstration just now, Xie Cheng also insists on exercising. High-intensity exercise allows him to maintain a well-proportioned and strong figure even when he is nearly fifty years old! In this way, every move he makes will not be soft, but full of explosive power and highly enjoyable to watch!
Yang Yi believes that a master like Xie Cheng does not need any temporary training. He can even act in front of the camera and perform the action routines arranged by the action director.

Xie Cheng is already looking forward to the finished film of Once Upon a Time that he will be starring in. He is eager to see this film and himself become a new glory of domestic martial arts films!

Yang Yi plays Huang Feihong?
In fact, there is no big surprise. After all, it is Yang Yi's film, Yang Yi's crew, and Yang Yi himself is the director. There is no problem for Yang Yilai to star. After all, Yang Yi is still the Berlin Best Actor!

The purpose of the training is to allow actors who have no Kung Fu foundation to practice temporarily to ensure that they can at least perform the martial arts routines arranged by the action director in a decent manner during the acting process.

Xie Cheng obviously does not belong to this category of actors. He has been in martial arts since childhood and has great talent. Don't look at the fact that he just showed off stick skills. In fact, Xie Chenghui has a lot of skills, including Changquan, Tai Chi, swordsmanship, spear skills, stick skills, nine-section whip, nunchucks, etc., especially the equipment. He can use almost eighteen kinds of weapons to show off.

"Director Yang, I can't be special. Everyone has to participate in the training camp. I can also participate. Director Yang, I have a lot of time and I can always be at your disposal." Xie Cheng heard Yang Yi keep calling him Teacher Xie Cheng. I can't sit still.

Like "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", even though many martial arts actors like him are idle at home, the director still invited many non-professional actors. Even if there is a training camp, the final effect will definitely not be as good as a real shot of martial arts actors punching and punching!

Xie Cheng didn't think how good Yang Yi could be. Many powerful martial arts actors started practicing from childhood. How could they surpass their thirty or forty years of hard work in just a few years? This is unlikely.

However, since Yang Yi has become a disciple of the famous martial arts instructor Deng Xingyong and has also become a disciple of Xie Cheng’s idol Mr. Yuan Kui, Xie Cheng thinks that Yang Yi should learn some real kung fu and act in a movie, so that’s not a big problem, right? ?
When Xie Cheng returned to Beijing triumphantly with the contract he signed with Yang Yi, Le Zehan, who had traveled abroad for a while, also came back. As soon as he returned to China, he couldn't wait to run to Dali to find Yang Yi.

"The arrangement for the overseas release of "The Wandering Earth" has been finalized! It will be released simultaneously around the world on March 20th!" Le Zehan happily announced the good news to Yang Yi.

"It's not easy. It's really difficult for our domestic movies to go overseas. In the past, it seemed that only costume dramas had some influence in Asia." Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh. "No, no, no, it's not that difficult. It might have been difficult before, but now they are all rushing to get your film!" Le Zehan said proudly to Yang Yi.

"Brother Yi, you can't underestimate yourself. After all, you are now the Berlin Best Actor, and you are also a famous director who won the Berlin Golden Bear Award and the Oscar Award! And others may not know much about your domestic film box office results, but your two "" "Saw" is so dazzling! "Saw 2" also set a new global box office record for horror films! As soon as I said that I wanted to release the science fiction movie you shot in China, many theater managers were willing to follow me Let’s talk!”

This time Le Zehan finally felt proud abroad. In the past, when he brought Yang Yi's short film to the Oscars, many foreigners knew nothing about Yang Yi and questioned whether China could produce good feature films.

Now he really has become the master, and Le Zehan doesn’t even need to introduce him. Many theater managers are aware of the awards Yang Yi has won and the records he has set. They took the initiative to find him, hoping to introduce "White" to their country. "Fireworks" movie.

But rather than releasing the award-winning "Fireworks of the Day", Le Zehan hopes that "The Wandering Earth", a science fiction masterpiece, can successfully go overseas and be recognized by overseas box office.

In this case, Chinese science fiction can gain a place in the world!

Going deeper, China's film industry will also be inspired to develop in a better direction!

Therefore, taking advantage of the success of "Fireworks in the Day", Le Zehan successfully launched "The Wandering Earth" and even negotiated conditions with theater managers in several countries to write down a sufficient number of films for "The Wandering Earth". It's in the contract.

Of course, the reason why "The Wandering Earth" can run smoothly is not only Yang Yi's fame and the award-winning "Fireworks in the Day", but also the reason why it is soaring at the domestic box office and is likely to break records!
What theater manager doesn’t want the movies he introduces to be big hits? Movie producers can make money, and they can also make a lot of money!
March 15th is Arbor Day, and it is also a critical watershed for Spring Festival movies! Because by this day, they will have been released for a month. Whether they end the release period and move to video websites, or continue to be released in theaters depends on their box office results before this watershed.

There is definitely no suspense about "The Wandering Earth" and "Speed ​​Delivery". One of them had a box office of 6 billion in the first month, and the other has steadily reached 2.4 billion. They are the absolute main force in the Spring Festival stalls, and they can make money if they hang on the big screen. Egg hen!
After experiencing a box office slump in the early stage, "Chinatown Detective 5" has quietly increased its box office performance to million, ranking third among Spring Festival movies!
It has to be said that Weng Pengfei's team's marketing capabilities are still very strong, and the scripts generally do not affect the sales of his series of movies.

In comparison, the Hong Kong police and gangster film "Intelligence", which had a good reputation in the past, gradually fell behind and only earned more than 700 million in box office in its first month.

Of course, there is still a chance for "Intelligence", but movies such as "The Cheongsam Goddess" with huge gaps in the future have already been released. The box office they can get is only six figures every day. Rather than staying in theaters and wasting other people's film schedules And the electricity bill, it is better to release the movie as soon as possible, and sell the film and television copyright to the video website, and get some money back.

There are actually not many reports on the box office of these movies on the Internet, and they are basically focused on the movie "The Wandering Earth". Everyone speculates when "The Wandering Earth" will break the box office record of "Blood War".

However, as long as the self-media talks about box office, they all mention the name of a movie - "Some Like It Hot 2"!
"After "Some Like It Hot 2" was withdrawn, there has been no news about it. This movie is probably in disgrace."

"Chen Ning, the lead actor with the most roles, is already in trouble. It's hard for "Some Like It Hot 2" to be re-released."

"Seeing the 2 billion box office of "The Wandering Earth", I wonder what those people who withdrew their investment and switched to "Some Like It Hot " feel. I guess they regret it so much that they want to bury themselves in it, right?"

"Yueshi is still discerning and has been investing in Yang Yi's movies. This time, I guess I also made a lot of money on "The Wandering Earth". The first quarter financial report is definitely very good!"

"Yueshi's stock price has already gone crazy after the Spring Festival. The capital market is better informed than us!"

"If those investors had not withdrawn their capital, the money they invested would have increased several times. How could there be such a profitable movie project?"

Yes, every self-media person is happy to pull out "Some Like It Hot 2" to whip the corpse. With the failure of "Some Like It Hot 2", doesn't it highlight the success of "The Wandering Earth"?
Le Zehan had no time to punish Mr. Luo and Mr. Zhang who had withdrawn their capital. After returning to China, he quickly devoted himself to the work of a producer.

It is worth mentioning that this time he is going to help Jin Longbo and help Jin Longbo pull the crew of "In the Name of the People" together.

The script of "In the Name of the People" was approved and the project was approved in Beijing. The process was actually not simple.

As soon as Le Zehan submitted the script, many review leaders were sweating. Le Zehan, who was far away in Berlin, received several phone calls, asking him to persuade Yang Yi to revise the script and not include the plot of corruption. It's so thrilling, and the writing is so revealing and true.

But Yang Yi said that this script will either not be filmed, or it will be filmed according to his plot, and cannot be modified casually.

So, the two sides were in a stalemate until "Fireworks in the Day" won the award in Berlin, and until a higher-level leader decided to make a good script like "In the Name of the People", the script "In the Name of the People" was To see the light of day again.

Before Le Zehan returned to China, Jin Longbo had already begun to form a relatively basic crew with the support of Yang Yi's resources.

"The main problem now is actually the selection of actors. This drama requires a lot of actors, and they all need actors with considerable acting skills! This is a headache for me." Jin Longbo said to Le Zehan.

Although Jin Longbo has won the support of the old actors of Mumu Film and Television, such as Ye Fuming has been selected as the actor of Zhao Dehan, Ma Shiqing will play Zhao Ruilong, and Zhang Jiajun will take up the heavy responsibility and play the protagonist Hou Liangping, but in "In the Name of the People" There is still a huge gap in actors, with Sha Ruijin, Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin and other important roles yet to be cast.
