Full-time actor

Chapter 381 [64] A tailor-made movie!
In the evening, the imperial capital gathered in Jude.

As the host, Chen Yu naturally wanted to treat Ye Weixing to a banquet. Although Quanjude's roast duck was very delicious,... he couldn't resist Ye Weixing and said he wanted to try it.

So Chen Yu asked someone to book a private room, and the two of them chatted while eating.

Actually, the taste is just okay.

"Brother Xing, this is my plan, do you think it can be filmed?"

"You don't need to think about copyright. I will go to the United States to find Bruce Lee's daughter for authorization!"

Chen Yu had just told Ye Weixing that he wanted to make "Bruce Lee"; to be honest, Ye Weixing was under a lot of pressure...

However, Ye Weixing was a little flattered by Chen Yu's ability to be so honest with him.

"Brother Yu, it's really not that I don't want to make a movie like this. I don't think any director would refuse it!"

"But, I'm really afraid that the photo won't work well!"

Then Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises"!
And Han from "Fast and Furious 4"!
These have all been promised, and it is impossible for Chen Yu to withdraw or break the contract; although "Initial D" is now somewhat dispensable to Chen Yu, if he wants to win "Fast and Furious 4", then this movie is still It makes some sense.

"Also, I understand what you mean, but whether it's Cheng Long or Jet Li, it's all the accumulation of action movies that have led to where we are today, including Mr. Xing!"

Ye Weixing was helpless and shrugged.

"Sha Po Lang"!
Of course, Chen Yu can act in this movie, but at the moment, he doesn't really want to act in a movie with multiple male protagonists. He wants to make a movie with him as the main character and create a box office plan; besides, Chen Yu doesn't have the time. , his schedule is almost scheduled until the end of next year.

"You have to let me shoot a few movies first to get a feel for it!"

Ye Weixing had obviously studied Xiangjiang movies, but Chen Yu didn't refute: "What do you mean?"

At least, it was a bonus when auditioning in the United States; and Volkswagen’s endorsement in the Asia-Pacific region was actually thanks to this film!
"Then there's no way!"

In his previous life, Ye Weixing actually told Zhen Zizi the same thing. Of course, Zhen Zizi also wanted to be an actor like Cheng Long and Jet Li, but he couldn't meet his talent. Finally, he met Ye Weixing, and the two hit it off.

He really didn't dare to help Chen Yu film "Bruce Lee"!

Chen Yu wiped his fingers that were a little greasy from eating roast duck, and said slowly: "From now on until the middle of next year, my schedule will be full!"

The premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" will be followed by 8 Minutes of the Olympics, and then the filming of "Initial D" and negotiations for "The Embalmer" will be filmed, and then "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will have to be filmed in October. The filming is almost finished before the Chinese New Year.

Ye Weixing's suggestion is actually similar to Zhen Zhuan in his previous life.

After cooperating in three films, "Slaying the Wolf", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "The Fuse", "Ip Man" came out.

Ye Weixing wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked a little solemn: "Let me tell you the truth, action movies have always been my dream, and I am confident that I can make them well. But when you start making such a big production, you It would be stressful for any director!”

"Let me tell you this!"

I’ll definitely watch “A World Without Thieves” early next year!
"Next year if nothing else happens, I will have to go to Hollywood to shoot two movies!"

I have been fighting for the role in "V for Vendetta"!

"Let's work together to make a good action movie!"

Chen Yu thought for a while, but shook his head. Of course he knew which movie Ye Weixing was talking about.

"What I'm going to shoot soon is an action movie!"

"Since you want to invest, you can definitely play the male lead. Although it may not be suitable for your commercial blockbusters, it can definitely become your main feature!"

1 million investment, what if it goes wrong?
Although Chen Yu doesn't blame him, the director will be burdened with a lot of doubts.

It's better to try the waters by filming "Slaying the Wolf" first. This way, accumulating experience one by one is the best way to go!
"Actually, Brother Yu, the script of the movie I'm about to shoot is very simple!"

"Except for the filming, which was a little difficult, the rest was very easy. If you really participate in the filming, it can be completed in a month at most!"

"so!"

Chen Yu didn't listen to him. He probably knew better than Ye Weixing himself about "Slaying the Wolf".

Filming "Bruce Lee" was Plan A, but he actually had a Plan B.

"I have a script here, similar to "This Killer Is Not Too Cold." It tells the story of a retired special forces soldier and a little girl. Do you think it can be like this? Let's try this one together first. If it doesn't work, we'll film it again. Your new drama?”

"In other words, let's exchange the scripts and discuss it together. Which one should we choose to shoot first?"

"Special forces and a little girl?"

Ye Weixing chewed the food in his mouth. He had never seen this subject before, but it felt a bit cliché.

"Yes, the plot is very simple. I am a retired special forces soldier, the king of soldiers!"

"A few years ago, my pregnant wife was retaliated by my enemy because of my status as the King of Soldiers. She was killed in front of him. At the same time, I almost died. And then I have been living a life of a walking zombie!"

"Suddenly one day, a little girl came next door and lit up his life!"

"He thought about his child, so his heart became warmer and warmer, and his relationship with the little girl became better and better. It was a bit like a father-son relationship; but the little girl's mother offended the gangster forces. She was a dancer, and because of stealing I stole something I shouldn’t have, and gangsters come looking for it!”

"You should know the next plot, which is to rescue this girl and kill her all the way!"

"Kill gods when gods block, kill Buddha when Buddha blocks, destroy gangs, wipe out child trafficking organizations, crack down on organ trafficking gangs for the country... Oh, this little girl's mother, her internal organs and corneas were hollowed out by these gangs, etc. organ--"

"Sigh~~~"

Hearing Chen Yu's last addition, Ye Weixing spit out the piece of duck meat he just put in his mouth, and his scalp became numb.

The food in his mouth was even more difficult to swallow.

Chen Yu's story is indeed simple and crude. But, in many Hollywood blockbusters and action blockbusters, the core of the story is very straightforward.

Good shooting, good editing, and good suspense are the key to whether a movie is good or not.

The drama Chen Yu is talking about is actually the box office champion in South Korea in 2010. "The Lonely Agent", a secret agent movie that swept across Southeast Asia, has a box office of more than 620 million viewers in South Korea alone.

This drama is also somewhat similar to "Rescue". "Rescue" is about a father rescuing his daughter, but this one is about special forces rescuing a little girl.

The core is the same as the rescue core. What matters is that one person will do it if he refuses to accept it, and one person will provoke all the great dramas.

In its previous life, "Lonely Agent" was rated as a high-scoring film in the rescue category, almost 8-8.5 points, and the plot was indeed outstanding; but in fact, Chen Yu felt that there were still flaws. Although many scenes were very violent and direct, there was a lack of punches. A meaty action scene.

The male lead, Yuan Bin, is so scummy that it’s fun to watch him shoot and fight, but it could actually be even more fun.

If there is a good action director, this drama will definitely become a classic in the history of fighting movies.

"I'll give you the script in a few days!"

"Then let's discuss which one to shoot first, okay?"

Chen Yu looked at Ye Weixing, who did not refuse. Although he had always wanted to make "Slaying the Wolf", if Chen Yu asked him to accumulate an action movie first, the effect might be better.

What's the big deal? If you're desperate, why don't you continue asking Chen Yu to cooperate?

Ye Weixing's mentality was still very peaceful.

The main reason is that Chen Yu just said that he would invest 100 million to make a commercial blockbuster, which scared Ye Weixing; for ordinary 10 million-level projects, he still dared to try it.

"For this drama, I estimate that 1000 million is definitely enough to invest!"

"I'm going to use some new actors as actors. If it's the male lead, I'll definitely play it myself. The cost has been reduced again!"

"As for your commission, do you want a share of the box office dividends, or a direct buyout?"

There are only two modes of filmmaking in Hong Kong.

If you pay dividends, you will make a profit and lose money. If you buy out, Ye Weixing's current income is about HK$100 million.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it!"

Ye Weixing smiled and Chen Yu nodded: "Well, let's buy it out. I don't know how the box office situation will be..."

The two people discussed there and finally settled on the shooting.

Anyway, it was a matter of choosing one of the two scripts. Chen Yu definitely preferred the "Lonely Agent" script, but he had to go back and revise it.

"The main cost should be at Ba Ye's place!"

"I'll go get this one. The martial arts must be of the highest quality!"

"it is good!"

Hearing that Chen Yu could reach the top of the industry in directing action films, Ye Weixing couldn't help but feel a little eager to give it a try; the previous "The Matrix" and "Kill Bill" series directed by Yuan Heping were both action film classics.

As long as you are in the circle, who doesn’t know about Master Ba’s reputation?
"We'll discuss the rest when the time comes. There's no rush anyway. If I have time for shooting, I'll contact you!"

"You prepare first, finalize the book, find the shooting location, and do all the preliminary work!"

The two people discussed it until about 10 o'clock in the evening before leaving Quanjude.

For this trip to the imperial capital, Ye Weixing did not expect that it would go so smoothly. Not only did he not need to worry about future investments, but he could actually get on board with Chen Yu. This was definitely a leap forward for his director career. Gantry opportunity.

Even if he is a director in Xiangjiang, he still has to fight for opportunities.

To be honest, Xiangjiang is only that big. There are many directors who are better than him in the circle. He wants to surpass them. Now he can only have a chance to counterattack by looking for big names like Chen Yu.

Every director has the ambition to become famous.

Now, Chen Yu has given him a chance to take off, and Ye Weixing must seize it firmly.

"No matter what, the first part must be filmed well!"

"Even if it's just the one about Brother Yu!"

Ye Weixing clenched his fists and stood on the 19th floor of the hotel opened by Chen Yu. He looked at the increasingly prosperous city in front of him, but his thoughts were racing in his heart.

The next day, Ye Weixing returned to Xiangjiang and began to organize the team from the previous shooting.

As for Chen Yu, he rehearsed at both ends and wrote the script for "The Lonely Agent" at night. He renamed the film - "The King of Soldiers"!
What is needed is this kind of memorable role, which can compete with Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior", Cheng Long's "Police Story", and Jet Li's "Shaolin Boys"; these three famous works are all in a unique profession .

Wu Jing's soldiers, Cheng Long's policemen, and Jet Li's monks.

Chen Yu thought about this for a long time and felt that his position could be a special soldier.

……

A week flew by like this.

The premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" also officially started.

Cinemas across the country have also opened pre-sale channels on July 7th. You can purchase movie tickets for "House of Flying Daggers" in advance!
For a time, news and news about "Ambush from Flying Daggers" spread all over the country.

In 04, when information was still underdeveloped, the biggest publicity for movies, apart from newspapers, was television.

CCTV6’s live broadcast is the largest traffic.
