Chapter 151: I Suggest Wang Jiawei Change His Name (5/5)

Taking the cup handed by the assistant and taking a sip of tea, Wei Wuchang tried his best to ask in a calm tone: "Mengxi, are you very familiar with Meng Xiaojing?"

“... Meng Xiaojing... Oh, you said the reporter from Southern Weekly, she's funny!"

Shen Mengxi replied honestly...

"No wonder, the last interview was obtained by Meng Xiaojing?"

“... She asked me a few questions, which I thought were interesting, so I answered. ”

"Let me tell you, what about the media thieves in the south, have you read her interview script?"

“... I don't have much time, what did she write?"

Wei Wuchang sighed: "She wrote that you were making a movie with the touch of a philistine..."

Shen Mengxi shrugged: "... I think it's right, movies need to be invested, how can you do it if you don't make money?"

“... Forget it, let's talk about Wang Jiawei, why did you mess with him?"

"Oh, hit the subject matter, he wants to shoot "Ip Man", and we also filmed "Ip Man", I don't think it's happy!"

"Ip Man?"

In the past few years, I have been running back and forth between South Korea and the United States, and then I have come to a conclusion that the most well-known Chinese is Bruce Lee..."

Wei Wuchang instantly understood: "So, you want to put Master Bruce Lee's deeds on the big screen?"

In fact, in the 60s and 70s, Hong Kong's martial arts learning was prevalent, especially Bruce Lee's reputation led to more Hong Kong people or Southeast Asian Chinese martial arts learning, Stephen Chow, Dillon have been apprenticed to Wing Chun, and the object of apprenticeship is Mr. Ip Man's son, Ye Zhun. ”

"I have a strong feeling that I must shoot a generation of grandmasters-Ip Man!"

"Later, I checked, Wang Jiawei seems to have said before that he would shoot "The Grandmaster - The Legend of Ip Man", so let's change the name to "Ip Man"!"

"The story of the whole movie is processed by us, and Mr. Ye Zhun also nodded and agreed, otherwise, we would not have set up a project to shoot. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi spread his hands: "Does the whole thing have anything to do with plagiarism?"

“... Then Wang Jiawei, why?"

"I probably think that the people in the mainland film company are easy to bully, but in fact, our "Ip Man" crew is basically Hong Kong staff in front of and behind the scenes, and it is Zhen Bullet who plays Ip Man himself!"

"Zhen bullet?"

“... Zhen Bullet was invited to shoot "Little Dragon and Me" before, Zhen Bullet played Ip Man, and Zhou Xingchi was invited to play Bruce Lee. But that was '97, just in time for the financial crisis, the film company was disbanded, and the filming plan was put on hold. This time we invited him to play Ip Man, he was very attentive, and in order to play Ip Man well, he did his homework. He specifically asked Mr. Yip Zhun to learn Wing Chun from scratch. In about half a year, he can beat Wing Chun to a decent shape; Ip Man is thin, Zhen Dan is full of muscles, in order to lose muscle quickly, he only eats fruits every day; in order to find the sense of age of the Republic of China, Zhen Dan has a long shirt at home, and even his wife thinks he is a little crazy..."

"I'm very confident in Ip Man, and in fact, Twentieth Century Fox is also confident that they will release this film globally."

Wei Wuchang paused for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Twentieth Century Fox?"

"Yes, we met in Cannes, they liked "Ip Man" very much, they wanted to buy out the release for $20 million, I didn't agree, I think "Ip Man" is more than that's at the global box office!"

Wei Wuchang clicked on this point a few times in the notebook he carried with him, and then asked, "That Wang Jiawei..."

"Oh, I suggest that Mr. Wang Jiawei change the title of the film, which can be called "Ip Man's Blueberry Night" or "Ip Man's In the Mood for Love"... I don't understand, why didn't he change his name? Our film has already been filed, and his film is still in the planning, and then he jumped out and said that we plagiarized? The face is really big! According to what he said, I am about to shoot "The Battle of Red Cliffs", can I also accuse director Wu Yusen of plagiarizing me?"

Wei Wuchang couldn't help but smile, and then packed up his notebook and voice recorder - Shen Mengxi gave half an hour.

"Can I write all of this?"

"Of course, whatever you want to write ... I can write what I said, but what I didn't say, you are not allowed to work artistically!"

"Don't worry!"

Wei Wuchang picked up the cup, drank the last bit of tea, and was about to leave, Shen Mengxi stopped him: "Can you delay this news until around the 20th?"

“... Yes!"

"Thank you!"

......

Why delay until around the 20th to send a message?

Because there is no other news room to survive these days, all of them are discussing "Red Cliff"...

The trailer edited by Wu Yusen is a bit thunderous, especially Buffett Zhao said with a serious face, 'The rise and fall of the world, the girl is responsible', which makes people laugh!

Really, there is no culture at all!

The word "husband" in "puff" is not limited to men, but a general reference, which is a general term for all ordinary people.

From "The Sixth Year of Zuo Chuan Zhaogong" "The husband is good, the people are still good, and the monarch of the country is concerned" to "Han Feizi Youdu" "The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared", and then to Zhang Binglin's "Refutation of Kang Youwei on the Revolutionary Book" "If the system of the national dynasty, the Manchu and Han are equal, and the Han people are talented, the puppet can be the prime minister", and the "puppet" during this period is a general reference.

Shame on you!

The Internet takes turns to find faults.

"In recent years, there have been so-called blockbusters in China, and many scenes and lines are very funny, and this kind of funny is not humorous, but a joke caused by insufficient level and lack of effort. These burlesques are not baggage, but laughing stock. ”

"You wait, "Red Cliff (I)" will be the best funny costume film of the year!"

Shen Mengxi couldn't hold it back and said this to Chen Liming.

The two of them were swimming in the swimming pool - the fat man said that he wanted to lose weight, and Shen Mengxi accompanied him to swim...

The fat man wiped his hair with a towel, and then said, "No matter how funny it is, at least 300 million box office is no problem!"

“... 300 million is not a big problem, didn't China Film put forward a plan to create a blockbuster with a single film of more than 100 million US dollars!"

"People are talking about the global box office... Why are you so demanding, movies don't need to be so serious, and Hollywood has a lot of garbage!"

"But the trailer of the 100 million dollar investment costume war drama was said to be very funny, don't you think there is a problem?"

"It has nothing to do with me, anyway, it will premiere tomorrow, I'll go and see it, are you going?"

"Of course I want to go, I think it's a support for Buffett Zhao... Eh, are you still in touch with Lotus?"

The fat man shook his head: "I don't have much contact, she seems to be tinkering with some Huayi stock recently, and I don't understand..."

Huayi stocks?

Shen Mengxi's eyes lit up: "Huayi is ready to go public?"

The fat man nodded: "It seems that there is such a plan, let them let me buy it, I don't think it's reliable..."

"Buy, buy as much as you want, let me tell you that since Huayi is the first private media company to go public, the market value will not be low..."

"Really? Shall I buy some?"

Shen Mengxi suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly asked again: "... How much can you buy?"

"I should be able to get 6 million shares subscribed!"

“... Get me 6 million shares..."

"Do you want to take a stake in Huayi?"

"I invested..."

"If you are interested, Huang Zhonglei will also go to the premiere of "Red Cliff" tomorrow, and you can talk to him then!"
