China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 317: One Man's Martial Arts World Comes into Being (Happy Labor Day!)

Online, the conflict between Zhao Wenzhuo and the crew of "Special Identity" first shifted to between him and Zhen Zhidan, and then provoked a confrontation between mainland stars and Hong Kong stars. It was very exciting, allowing the majority of netizens to watch two free dramas at the beginning of spring.

At this time, Chen Dong was also eating melons on the Internet, but the melons he was eating were not about Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zhidan, but about the crew of "Yang Guifei".

The full name of "Yang Guifei" is "Yang Guifei, the Woman of the Dynasty", which is a film project launched by China Film Group in 09.

It took almost three years of preparation before filming began, which was actually very inconsistent with Han Shanping's personality.

But when Chen Dong discovered that the producer of this project was La Peikang, he suddenly became thoughtful.

"If I remember correctly, after Han Shanping retired, La Peikang took over the Central Film Studio."

Moreover, Han Shanping has been the chairman of China Film Group since 07, and has been working for nearly five years this year. In two years at most, he will reach retirement age. So has China Film Group already paved the way for the next successor?

But this boss actually found a Korean director to shoot "Yang Guifei". While Chen Dong was wondering if it was a bit too trifling, he was shocked to find that director Guo Zairong and the female lead Fan Binbin were actually "doing" in front of the media.

Guo Zairong complained that Fan Binbin stole the show and expressed his disappointment with China's film system.

Fan Binbin said Guo Zairong wanted to make "Yang Guifei" into a comedy, and the plot was not in line with historical facts at all. "For example, during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Director Guo wanted us to change our clothes to fluffy skirts and do the thigh dance, which was a bit like the passionate dance performed by Girls' Generation in South Korea. I couldn't accept it at all."

Although this director was a little misjudgmental at the beginning, he did not follow a stubborn path. After feeling that Guo Zairong was not suitable to be the director of "Yang Guifei", he decisively fired him on the grounds that the director did not shoot according to the previously agreed film style and tone.

This is also the reason why Guo Zairong, while criticizing Fan Binbin, did not forget to add that he was very disappointed with China's film system.

Just as Chen Dong was thinking about which director would take over, the door of his office rang.

dong dong dong~
Chen Dong turned his gaze towards the sound and saw Wen Muye, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing at the door.

"After more than a year of further study, are you feeling a little itchy?"

After the assistant came in and made hot tea for the two of them, Chen Dong asked with a smile.

"Hehe, to be honest with you, Director Chen, it is true."

Wen Muye did not hide it from Chen Dong and told him frankly that he wanted to start preparing for his graduation film.

"You won't graduate until next year, right?"

"It will be next year, but if we prepare for it next year, it will be a bit hasty."

"That's true."

Chen Dong nodded, then asked, "So do you have your own script, or are you planning to film a movie for the company?"

Faced with this question, Wen Muye said with some shame: "I do have some ideas, but they don't seem mature enough, so..."

Chen Dong understood.

He stood up and took out a script he had written when he was free from the drawer. Under Wen Muye's shocked gaze, he casually placed it on the coffee table and said, "I won't ask you what type of movie you plan to make next or what you like. Just choose it yourself."

"Lost in Hong Kong"

Wen Muye picked it up and put it down again. Not to mention that his style is not suitable for comedy, simply because "Lost in Thailand" has not been released yet, it is not suitable to shoot the third part now.

"Detective Chinatown"

Wen Muye was a little interested in this notebook. He picked it up and looked at it for a long time. While he was thinking about whether to buy it, his eyes greedily fell on the next notebook.

"One Man's Martial Arts World."

He picked it up out of curiosity, and read ten lines at a glance at first, then he read slower and slower, and by the end he was almost reluctant to skip a single word.

Finally, he turned to the last page and finished reading. He didn't dare to read the rest of the script. He suppressed his curiosity and held "One Man's Martial Arts" tightly in his hand. He looked at Chen Dong, who had returned to his desk at some point, and said excitedly, "Director Chen, I've made my choice."

"Oh, which notebook did you choose?" Chen Dong stood up again and sat down on the sofa opposite Wen Muye.

"This is, "One Man's Martial Arts World."

Chen Dong did not show any surprise that Wen Muye chose this modern martial arts film.

In fact, no matter which movie Wen Kino chooses here, he will not be surprised, but he still needs to put it through the necessary tests to prevent the other party from ruining a good story.

"Why did you choose this?"

"Because it's cool! And because it fits my definition of a martial artist."

Seeing that Chen Dong did not speak but just listened to him quietly, Wen Muye continued to analyze: "After his wife's death, Feng Yuxiu was no longer bound by shackles, so he acted recklessly. In order to become the best in the world, he could even do anything;"

"As for Xiahou Wu, in my opinion, he is actually the same type as Feng Yuxiu. They are both martial arts enthusiasts. The reason why he represents justice is that what he is protecting is still there, that is, his junior sister Shan Ying..."

Although Chen Dong did not think Wen Muye's analysis was profound, he still gave him affirmation for the fact that he could reach such an insight after only reading it once.

"Who do you think is suitable to play Feng Yuxiu and Xiahou Wu?" Seeing Wen Muye stop, Chen Dong nodded slightly and asked another question.

"This……"

Wen Muye really felt this question was a bit tricky. When he didn't know how to answer it, he suddenly remembered that two kung fu stars were fighting on the Internet. His eyes suddenly lit up because it seemed that the role of Xiahou Wu had already been chosen.

"Director Chen, what do you think about Zhao Wenzhuo playing Xiahou Wu?"

“The image is OK.”

Chen Dong didn't say too much.

Wen Muye couldn't think of anyone suitable to play Feng Yuxiu in a short period of time. To be honest, this was indeed a bit difficult for him.

So Chen Dong didn't force him to come up with a name, and of course he didn't give him any reminders. After all, the audition was still a long way off.

"Director Chen, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb you from working. I'll come back to talk to you after I finish drawing the storyboards."

"it is good……"

Chen Dong stood up to see him off. When he reached the door, he remembered that Wen Muye’s teacher was Tian Zhuangzhuang, so he greeted him casually.

"What has Mr. Tian been busy with recently? Is he feeling well?"

"The teacher is in good health and will be ready to join the group in two days."

"Join the crew? I haven't heard that Mr. Tian is preparing a new movie." Chen Dong was a little surprised.

"It was the Central Film Studio's "Yang Guifei". I heard from my teacher that the crew fired the original Korean director, and then a vice-president of the Central Film Studio named La asked him to take over the class."

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he had not expected that the successor chosen by Mr. La would be Tian Zhuangzhuang!

……

"A Simple Life," which won the Best Actress award at the 68th Venice International Film Festival last year, will hold its premiere in the capital on March 3. As the chairman of this year's jury, Chen Dong naturally cannot say that he has nothing to do with this movie.

So, he received an invitation letter from the other party for the premiere...
