Movie tycoon

Chapter 641 Ninja and Assassin
Chen Xiaotang already said it very implicitly, meaning to add "Japanese ninja" elements in the filming, but Fatty Wang Jing and Cheng Xiaodong immediately retorted: "No, how can we label our movies as Japanese ninjas?!"

Yes, how can Chinese kung fu movies help the Japanese to promote them? !
Chen Xiaotang had considered this question before, but he soon figured it out. In Western popular culture, 'ninjas' are merely described as consummate martial artists who use all kinds of exotic weapons and techniques to accomplish their tasks.They were dressed in the legendary attire - black clothes, with only their eyes exposed.Therefore, Americans like and are very interested in this "profession", which can be reflected in many Hollywood movies. For example, the ninja played by Korean actor Lee Byung-hun in "Special Forces" is very interesting and awesome. In the third part of "Wolverine", the male protagonist Wolverine and the Japanese ninja are directly engaged in a fight.Even this Japanese culture has penetrated into the American comics and video game market.In contrast, the traditional Chinese Kung Fu genre is hardly popular in the United States, and only a weak Kung Fu king, Bruce Lee, struggles to support it.

The martial arts and traditional kung fu that we Chinese audiences talk about on the big screen are worthless outside.The only way is to close the door, applaud yourself, and masturbate yourself.

Now, since we want to shoot "Assassin's Creed" that American audiences like to watch, we have to consider their preferences, what they are interested in, and what they are fascinated by.Soon, Chen Xiaotang thought of Japanese ninja culture.

In fact, ninja culture has been popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan~Taiwan film circles for several years in the previous life, such as the famous TV series "Ninja Hunting Order", "City Ninja", and the movies "Ghost Face Ninja", "The Young Lord's Revenge" , "Dragon Ninja" series, etc., almost all took the ninja route to please the audience's preferences at that time.

Chen Xiaotang had such a definition, and then the question appeared again, how to use the ninja culture to implement a Chinese-style cultural package, so that those ghosts can truly understand traditional Chinese Kung Fu!
Immediately, Chen Xiaotang thought of an old movie - "Qi Men Dun Jia"!
This play is directed by the eighth master Yuan Heping. In addition to the boxer fights in the film, Yuan Heping also designed magic formations such as five ghosts for fortune, strange methods, and escaping from the ground. Traditional magic tricks make the character modeling, props, scenery and fighting scenes in "Qimen Dunjia" present a strange style that is both terrifying and humorous.Even in today's Hong Kong movies, the style of "Qimen Dunjia" can be regarded as a school of its own, quite novel and entertaining as a "Chinese-style ninjutsu movie".

It can be seen that the so-called "ninjutsu" in Japan actually comes from the traditional Qimen Dunjia in ancient China. In terms of broad and profound, we are definitely much better than them.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaotang explained his idea to Cheng Xiaodong and Fatty Wang Jing, and then said: "Please believe that our show will never promote Japanese ninja culture; on the contrary, we just want to Use Yankees' preferences to create our own Qimen Dunjia assassin culture, and tell them that ninjas are just killers, and we are playing assassins in this movie!"

"Someone may ask, what is the difference between a killer and an assassin? In fact, there is a big difference between an assassin and a killer. In ancient times, a killer took human life as his profession. If he failed, he could escape. Assassins had creeds in ancient my country, such as Speaking of Jing Ke among the four major assassins, his creed is that scholars should die for their confidants, assassinate Yingzheng, and destroy the tyrant Qin. From the song "The Wind is Xiao Xiao Yi Shui Han" we can see that no matter what you want to take the target's life unless you die gone."

"In addition, generally speaking, assassins who assassinate the royal family are assassins-because killers do not have that quality, I am referring to the killers referred to in ancient my country. Japanese ninjas come from the teachings of a monk in the East to a down-and-out samurai, making this samurai After getting the state of mind around the natural heart, this person is called the Sage of the Six Paths by the Japanese, and the meaning of the Sage of the Six Paths tends to jump out of the Six Paths of Buddhism, or is superior to the Six Paths, so he is called the Sage of the Six Paths.”

"Generally speaking, ninja is just a name. The Japanese war is more bloodthirsty, so if the so-called ninja develops in our country, it will be more inclined to people who are sensitive to the surrounding environment, such as Taoist priests or monks, but in Japan. It becomes a special killing organization, ninja."

"Having said so much, you may have understood what we are going to shoot, which actually belongs to the creed of those assassins in ancient China! A soldier dies for his confidant, eliminates violence and keeps the good! Not some bloodthirsty ninja!"

Cheng Xiaodong and Fatty Wang Jing listened to Chen Xiaotang's wordy words for a long time like listening to a scripture, and when Chen Xiaotang stopped abruptly, they opened their mouths wide, looking stupid.

Chen Xiaotang asked them: "Do you understand?"

The two nodded, shook their heads again, and said, "Ahem, we know what we want to shoot, but what's the use of Japanese ninjas?"

"Hehe, take it out for comparison!" Chen Xiaotang smiled, and then revealed the whole plan, "Since Yankees are so interested in Japanese ninjas, then we will add some Japanese ninja scenes to this drama, of course, They must be villains, and they must be villains who do all kinds of evil and have no humanity. In the play, they will have a life-and-death duel with our assassins, and they will be completely KO by us! At the same time, we will use the two different concepts of Chinese assassins and Japanese assassins Make a comparison, reveal it, and make people understand how great our ancient Chinese assassins are!"

Chen Xiaotang told the truth with one word.

Fatty and Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help applauding: "Damn it, you are too despicable, too shameless, and too cunning. After a long time, it turns out that you are going to use the Japanese as a backing!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly: "Oh, there's no way, why do Yankees like watching Japanese being fucked hard?!"

After studying the script and filming issues, Fatty and Cheng Xiaodong couldn't take it any longer and yawned continuously.Chen Xiaotang himself was super excited, seeing that the two were sleepy to death, Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to say hello and let them go to rest first.

After Fatty and the two left, Chen Xiaotang dug out the script and made some revisions according to the results discussed just now.After he finished everything, he realized that his waist was sore and his back hurt. After stretching, Chen Xiaotang walked to the window, just in time to see that the light in Wang Zuxian's living room was still on.

"It's so late, why isn't she sleeping?" Chen Xiaotang was surprised.

With curiosity, Chen Xiaotang walked out of his room and went outside Wang Zuxian's room, and was about to knock on the door, but saw that the door was ajar and not closed.

This girl is too careless.

While thinking, Chen Xiaotang pushed the door and went in, but saw Wang Zuxian upright
He was holding his chin in a daze alone.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help smiling when he saw Wang Zuxian's appearance.

"It's nothing." Wang Zuxian came back to his senses, and smiled: "I just feel a little stressed."

"What's the pressure?" Chen Xiaotang wanted to relax the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "It's not like you haven't made a movie before."

"Although it's not the first time to make a movie, but this time the feeling is different." Wang Zuxian said with emotion: "In the past, it was just for fame and money. It's easy to act. This time, I want to play a good role. Not only do I have to pass my own test, but I also have to be worthy of you, so naturally I feel a little uneasy."

"Excuse me?" Chen Xiaotang smiled: "I don't care too much, you should relax."

"You don't understand, you still don't understand." Wang Zuxian pouted, and then sighed: "This is not just a movie, but also an opportunity. You provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want everyone to know that I am not Beautiful vase, you choose me, there is nothing wrong!"

Chen Xiaotang was not surprised that Wang Zuxian would say such a thing. He asked casually, "Is there any pressure because of this?"

"En." Wang Zuxian pursed his lips and nodded. "In addition to this, there is also the understanding of the characters. You told me so much on the plane, but the more I listened, the more I felt that I was still lacking. I was afraid that I would not be able to grasp the role and play her well. In the end, let people see the joke." Her face was a little dark.

Chen Xiaotang didn't know what to say, but Wang Zuxian's words were very clear, he couldn't help with this kind of help, unless she could have an epiphany or overcome the psychological difficulty.

Chen Xiaotang really wanted to discuss this topic with her again, but judging by her distressed expression, she was afraid that it would be counterproductive, and her spirit seemed not suitable for discussing these issues.Chen Xiaotang then casually chatted with Wang Zuxian, and the topic naturally turned to Egypt's tourism culture. Wang Zuxian's spirit immediately improved, and her expression became much happier. After all, she was still a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was still a bit "playful" in her bones.

Trying to guide Wang Zuxian not to think about the things that she felt stressed, Chen Xiaotang talked with Wang Zuxian about Qiu Jing for a while, and then dragged her to the window to watch the night view of Cairo.

Before coming to Cairo, Chen Xiaotang also worked hard on Cairo's geography for filming. Even at night, he could point out all the places of interest in Cairo for Wang Zuxian to see.

Cairo is actually a dreamlike place, where ancient buildings and modern buildings are integrated together, combined with Chen Xiaotang talking about the past and the present like Jiangshan, it makes Wang Zuxian feel like entering a dreamlike world.

Wang Zuxian didn't speak, but just listened quietly. Chen Xiaotang's performance at the moment made her feel very familiar with Chen Xiaotang, and he also had a super attractive charm.This feeling let her know that she was already deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself.

In fact, since Chen Xiaotang pushed her to be the heroine of "Assassin's Creed", Wang Zuxian has already integrated into the role of secret "lover".

What is a lover?

It's a woman who has no name beside a man!
Wang Zuxian didn't expect that one day she would be like this. She once dreamed of a love like Snow White and a romance like Cinderella.But she was bewitched by Chen Xiaotang, so much so that she set up a trick and gave her body to him.

She is willing, if she wants to say why, it was because of her ambition and superiority before, but now, it's just because she likes him!
Women are all emotional animals. There is no reason or reason to like someone.Now Wang Zuxian is like this, her previous ambition has dimmed a lot, but her desire to be Chen Xiaotang's woman is getting stronger and stronger.

After some conversation, it was getting late, Chen Xiaotang looked at Wang Zuxian's expression, and his expression turned worried again.Originally, he wanted Wang Zuxian to relax, but in fact it had little effect.It's hard to imagine that under such circumstances, Wang Zuxian can rest well and have the energy to cope with tomorrow's shooting.

"It's getting late, you should rest." Chen Xiaotang said tentatively.

"Okay." Wang Zuxian seemed to agree casually, but his expression indicated that she seemed to be thinking about something unhappy again.

"Let me help you fall asleep." Chen Xiaotang saw that if he didn't do something, it would be difficult for Wang Zuxian to get a good rest, so he said.

"What do you want to do?" Wang Zuxian's cheeks flushed immediately, and he knew the taste. Could it be that he still wants to...

"Am I that unbearable?" Chen Xiaotang was angry and funny: "Take me as a bad person every now and then."

"No way, I'm just curious!" Wang Zuxian said with a pouted face, his appearance was delicate and charming.

"Hehe, your expression has already betrayed yourself, don't think so badly of me..." Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "Besides, you have already done this kind of thing, so what are you afraid of?"

"That means you still want to do something?" Wang Zuxian asked with blushing cheeks.

"Yes." Chen Xiaotang said, and suddenly hugged Wang Zuxian up by the waist.

"You, let me go." Wang Zuxian was a girl after all, and her natural reserve made her a little unnatural.

"Oh, be good, do you know that you are very heavy? I am very tired after such a struggle." Chen Xiaotang put Wang Zuxian on the bed, pulled the quilt for her, and said softly.

"You, what do you want to do?" Wang Zuxian clutched the quilt tightly. Although Chen Xiaotang didn't make any further movements to reassure him, he still felt a little nervous, and behind this nervousness was more expectation...

"I just want to sing a song for you. Why are you so nervous?" Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "Is my singing scary? Don't forget, I'm also someone who has given concerts."

"Sing? What song?" Wang Zuxian was confused.

""Lullaby"." Chen Xiaotang said seriously.

Wang Zuxian wanted to laugh, but Chen Xiaotang had already started singing, it was really "Lullaby".

This lullaby is a classic song sung by Hong Kong God of Songs Xu Guanjie, the lyrics are as follows:

Floating in the world is like a sky full of stars~ There are countless bright or dark stars~ Meteors are dazzling and radiant all over the sky~ They disappear in a blink of an eye~ Buds will surely bloom one day~ Bright and beautiful are waiting for you~ Don’t forget the changes in life~ Laughter will definitely happen Come back~ so you can rest assured and sleep peacefully~ throw away all worries~ gently wipe away the tears from your eyes~ forget all your worries at this time...

Wang Zuxian wanted to protest and say "I'm not a child", but it was strange to say that when she heard Chen Xiaotang's singing and the lyrics full of magic, she felt her eyelids heavy and her whole body relaxed, she didn't say anything at all I fell into dreamland.

Seeing that Wang Zuxian finally fell asleep like a dream, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help sighing.No matter what the girl's original intention of approaching him was, the relationship between her and him is now unclear. In this case, why didn't he try to accept her? !
Gently closing the door for Wang Zuxian, Chen Xiaotang came to the corridor.In Cairo, a city full of dreamlike feelings, Chen Xiaotang should have found it novel and full of interest, but the complicated and difficult relationship with Wang Zuxian made him a little bit uninterested.Such emotions troubled him, and he didn't know where to go or what to do for a while.

Just when Chen Xiaotang was hesitating, he suddenly heard a burst of melodious music coming from a certain hotel room.Chen Xiaotang couldn't see that room, but the music was clearly audible.With Chen Xiaotang's attainments in music, of course he could immediately tell that it was definitely the most authentic Arabic music.

The study of Arabic music has been going on for a while, but Chen Xiaotang's collection of Arabic music can only be said to be sufficient, far from being rich and comprehensive.For example, the piece of music he is hearing now is something he has never heard before.And it's not just fresh, the musician's skills are also extremely exquisite, and the realm of the music is quite elegant, Chen Xiaotang was fascinated by it as soon as he heard it.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do at the moment, so Chen Xiaotang simply leaned against the door and listened quietly.This song took a long time to play, Chen Xiaotang was completely immersed in the music, and he didn't feel the passage of time at all.When the song was over, Chen Xiaotang suddenly woke up and couldn't help cheering in his heart. From the music itself to the performer's own interpretation, this song has its own charm. Chen Xiaotang is a bosom friend, especially able to comprehend the wonderful place.

Being completely fascinated by this song, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but also greatly increased his interest in its player, and when he was idle, he suddenly had the idea of ​​getting to know this expert.He is still interested in playing music at such a late hour, and he is also an elegant person, so it is worth making friends with.Thinking of this, Chen Xiaotang walked towards the direction where the music came from just now.Turning a corner, Chen Xiaotang saw the room where the music came from just now, but was suddenly blocked by two big men with broad arms and round waists.

"Huang Piboy, this is not the place you should come to, get out!" One of them looked at Chen Xiaotang contemptuously, and shouted at Chen Xiaotang in English.

Chen Xiaotang was stunned, is this place some kind of forbidden place?But before he had time to think clearly, the two big men impatiently tried to drive him away.

One on the left and the other on the right, the two big guys cooperated very tacitly, and rushed towards Chen Xiaotang viciously.Originally, he was vaguely apologetic that he might have really gone to a place he shouldn't have been, but the attitude of the two big men made Chen Xiaotang a little angry.From their actions, it can be seen that they don't care about Chen Xiaotang's life or death at all. If Chen Xiaotang was just an ordinary person, he would probably be seriously injured if he was attacked by such a pincer.
