Chapter 268: Officially Finished

In the picture of the monitor, the family pushed open the dilapidated door of the house and looked blankly at the home destroyed by the Japanese army. Xia Meng tried to clean up, but saw that the cylinder was cracked, the pot was broken, and the rice bag was empty, so he couldn't clean it up, so he threw all the rags out in anger, muttering while muttering. Xia Meng turned his head to look at Sun Daolin, and said sadly: "Did you see it? Who did this? You still believe in Dongying people with dead eyes!"

Sun Daolin sighed deeply, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Xia Meng was very angry, but at the same time, she was also very worried about her son's comfort, and said to Sun Daolin: "You don't call Ah Ming back, this child ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't suppress her emotions and burst into tears.

Sun Daolin squatted down and pounded his head hard.

Xu Wangqiu was very satisfied with Sun Daolin and Xia Meng's performances, and directly shouted "stop". Xia Meng has officially stopped filming Zhang Xinyan's "Spring Flowers" in 67, and has not acted for fifteen years. However, when she played "A Game of Chess That Didn't End", she didn't have the slightest sense of jerkiness, and her performance was very natural. Because Xia Meng is in her forties and has three children, and Wanyi, who she plays, is also of this age and is the mother of two children. She doesn't need to act hard at all, just act in her true colors.

After asking about the recording and photography, getting a positive answer, and consulting Junya Sato's opinion, Xu Wangqiu stood up and said loudly: "This scene has passed!" He smiled at Xia Meng: "Sister Xia Meng, congratulations!

Xia Meng chuckled: "Is it finished so soon? I don't feel like I have been filming for two days!"

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "Then next time I will invite you to be the heroine." ”

Xia Meng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not suitable for the screen again, and I don't want everyone to see my old appearance on the screen, so let's give the audience a good impression." I'm still looking forward to your cooperation with our Blue Bird. ”

"When the movie is officially released in September, I will come to Xiangjiang to help you shoot "Cold". Xu Wangqiu said confidently, "In fact, compared with "Falcon" and "Hoe Rape", I am better at making movies like "Cold". ”

Xia Meng didn't stay in the crew for long, and returned to Xiangjiang early the next morning with "Cold" and "Heroes from Ancient Times". Soon after Xia Meng left the crew, Yuan Heping came to the door.

When Xu Wangqiu went to Xiangjiang to promote "Falcon" last year, he talked to Yuan Heping about co-productions, and Yuan Heping was also very interested in co-productions and knew that he could make a lot of money. But at that time, he was busy with the movie "Huo Yuanjia" and didn't have time to get a new script. In October, he finished "Huo Yuanjia" and sent the written script to the export company. Xu Wangqiu has already left for Dongying, and the script review has been put on hold for the time being. Yuan Heping didn't want to wait stupidly, so he made up another "Qimen Dunjia".

Now that the filming of "Qimen Dunjia" has been completed, Yuan Heping heard from Xia Meng that Xu Wangqiu has returned to China and is filming "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished" in China. So, he hurriedly bought a plane ticket and said that the crew approached Xu Wangqiu to talk about co-production.

Xu Wangqiu hopes that the export company will cooperate with Yuan Heping, so that Yuan Heping can help the export company bring out a group of martial arts instructors. Before going to Dongying, Xu Wangqiu told the people at the art center to pay attention to the script sent by Yuan Heping. However, the script sent by Yuan Heping was so bad that he didn't even pass the first level of script review.

Yuan Heping can write scripts, and many of the movies he has made in recent years have been written by him in collaboration with other screenwriters. However, his ability to write scripts is really not very good, the storylines of the scripts he writes are quite simple, and he does not pay attention to logic, and always finds a random reason to start fighting directly. Because of his excellent movie scenes, the fight design is very exciting, and the audience has responded well. It is certainly no problem for such a script to be voted for Xiangjiang Film Company, but it is naturally no problem to vote for an export company with high standards and strict requirements.

Xu Wangqiu returned to Beiping, and after reading Yuan Heping's script, he felt that it was too difficult for Yuan Heping to come up with a script that met the requirements of the export company. He considered that the export company needed Yuan Heping to help lead martial arts instructors, and he also needed to establish a model of Yuan Heping, so he took the time to make a script.

Now Yuan Heping came to the door, and Xu Wangqiu took out the script: "This is the script I wrote, you can take a look." If you're interested in the story, I can give you the script. ”

"The script you wrote, then I have to take a good look at it!" Yuan Heping knew that Xu Wangqiu was an expert in scripts, Xu Wangqiu's "Falcon" and "Hoe Rape" were of a very high standard, and when he heard that the script in front of him was written by Xu Wangqiu, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, took the script out of the brown paper bag, and read it carefully.

""October Siege"?" Seeing the name of the script, Yuan Heping's interest was even higher.

"October Siege" is an action film produced by Chen Kexin and shot by Chen Desen. The story goes that in 1905, the revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen decided to take the risk of going to Hong Kong to visit his mother, but in fact to meet the revolutionary representatives. In order to protect Mr. Sun's safety, Chen Shaobai, a revolutionary aspirant, contacted Li Yutang, a wealthy businessman, hoping that he could pay to invite Jianghu masters to protect Mr. Sun. Li Yutang unearthed five masters who were hidden in the city and formed a temporary "escort team" to protect Mr. Sun. Everything was ready and Mr. Sun arrived in Hong Kong as scheduled.

In order to protect Sun Yat-sen, gambler Shen Chongyang, beater Fang Hong, hawker Wang Fuming, beggar Liu Yubai and others launched one bloody battle after another with the assassination team sent by the Qing court in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang......

The film "October Siege" was well-made and had a solid script, and it received eighteen nominations at the Academy Awards, winning eight of them. Compared with the ugly basics of Xiangjiang kung fu movies in this era, it is simply a cloud and mud.

Although Yuan Heping's ability to write scripts is mediocre, he still has at least an appreciation. After a cursory glance at the script, he liked the story and said excitedly: "Wangqiu, you are really an expert in scripts, your script is much more exciting than the scripts I made." I'm afraid I can't find a few such scripts in the whole of Xiangjiang, do you really plan to hand it over to me, don't you plan to shoot it yourself?"

The script of "October Siege" can only be considered good, and it can't be said to be good, and Xu Wangqiu has his own story that he wants to film, and said lightly: "I will next help Sister Xia Meng's Jade Bird Company shoot "Cold", and then I will shoot "Thirteen Soldiers Return to Jade Gate", I don't have time to shoot this at all, and I am not good at making kung fu movies." This was originally written for you, you can just take it and shoot it. ”

Yuan Heping heard that this script was written by Xu Wangqiu specifically for himself, and he was very moved: "Wangqiu, you are really interesting. In the future, as long as you can use my place, your eldest brother can greet you. He immediately added: "The price of the script will definitely not make you suffer, I will pay you according to the price of the first-line screenwriter in Xiangjiang." ”

Xu Wangqiu waved his hand and said: "I am the director of the art center, whether the script can be passed or not, I need to nod, if it is calculated according to the price of the screenwriter in Xiangjiang, then others will say, I accept the benefits of you." Or according to the price of our mainland script, 1,500 yuan. ”

Yuan Heping has been in the mainland and knows that 1,500 yuan is equivalent to more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. Such a good script was written by Xu Wangqiu, and the price was too low. He muttered for a moment: "Otherwise, I will pay you the script fee at 1,500 yuan." After the movie is made, everyone will share the dividends together, and I will definitely not let my friends suffer. ”

Xu Wangqiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is absolutely not good, don't say that you give me dividends, even if you give me a slightly more expensive gift, I can't accept it." Otherwise, if someone sues, then I, the director, will be the end. I don't make movies for money, if I wanted to make money, I would have done something else. He looked at Yuan Heping and smiled: "There is something that I need your help with." ”

Yuan Heping patted his chest and said arrogantly: "As long as I can do it, there is absolutely no second word." ”

Xu Wangqiu said: "Our company is going to cooperate with Beijing Film Studio to make the action movie "Wulin Zhi", you know that we have no martial arts in the mainland, no martial arts instructor, and lack of experience in filming martial arts scenes, I want you to be the martial arts instructor of this movie." ”

Yuan Heping said briskly: "No problem." When will "Wulin Zhi" be launched, and when will I join the group. ”

Xu Wangqiu said: "I may have to wait a few months, and I will go to the United States next month." "Wulin Zhi" will be the story of Chinese masters fighting foreign masters in the ring, and I will select actors from the United States to play foreign masters when the time comes. It is definitely necessary to get the foreign actors, and when the foreign actors come, the movie can be started, and it may take three or four months. ”

Yuan Heping nodded and said: ""Qimen Dunjia" is going to be released at the end of July, and when the movie is released, I will adjust it a little, just join the group, and be the director of "Wulin Zhi". ”

However, the film was shot much faster in China than it was in Dongying. Wangqiu drew a detailed storyboard, and the photography, lighting and other related departments also had very detailed plans. Plus,.

The time soon entered June, and the filming of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" also came to an end. On this day, the crew filmed a scene in 1956 when he was teaching at Wanghu Primary School, and the news of Songbo's visit to China was published in the newspaper. This scene is the first scene of the movie, but for various reasons, it becomes the last scene to be filmed.

In an office at a primary school in Suzhou, several teachers play Go around a chessboard. Sun Daolin glanced at it boringly, picked up a pictorial and flipped through it. In the pictorial, the news of the upcoming visit to China by the Japanese Go delegation and the photos of member Rinsaku Matsuba jumped into view. This unexpected news shocked Sun Daolin, and his face immediately turned pale. He put down the newspaper, opened the drawer with a slightly trembling hand, rummaged through it, and muttered, "Where is the knife!

The teacher on the other side felt that something was wrong with Guo Yishan, and asked, "Teacher Guo, what's wrong with you?"

As if he hadn't heard, Sun Daolin was desperately rummaging through the drawer, muttering, "Kill him!"

A few minutes later, Xu Wangqiu announced that the scene was "over". He stood up from behind the monitor, held the horn in his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Colleagues, after several months of hard shooting, after everyone's joint efforts, "A Game of Chess That Never Ends" is officially finished!"

After a brief silence on the set, applause and cheers erupted like an erupting volcano.

After the movie was completed, Xu Wangqiu did not make a slight adjustment, and boarded the plane to the United States with Zhang Yimou. This time, he went to the United States in addition to developing the film and post-production for "A Game of Chess That Never Ends", and another important task was to cast "Wulin Zhi".
