Chapter 43 invites Wu Jing

CHAPTER XLIII

"Hey, old man. You're sure it's okay over there. ”

"You can rest assured, this side has already been contacted, after all, you are a big director now. ”

"That's OK, I'm thinking about the rest. ”

Zhang Li ignored the jokes of the big boss, and now he is still far from the big director.

At the beginning, Zhang Li, the protagonist of "Jingwu Heroes", planned to use Hu Ge, although it might be better if Li Lianjie was used. But firstly, Li Lianjie is older, and secondly, if Li Lianjie is used, the salary will not be less than 10 million US dollars.

So Zhang Li originally planned to use Hu Ge to star, but finally gave up this idea.

Zhang Li finally chose Wu Jing to play the role of Chen Zhen, although Wu Jing's baby face is indeed a bit dramatic. But let the makeup paint the skin a little darker and older. In this way, Wu Jing still looks like he is still in line with the image.

The actors have been selected, but Zhang Li and Wu Jing are not familiar with it.

But it doesn't matter if Zhang Li is not familiar with it, Xie Nan is familiar with it.

Zhang Li contacted Da Lao Wang, and Da Lao Wang contacted Xie Nan, and then Xie Nan contacted Wu Jing.

As for Zhang Li's invitation, Wu Jing agreed directly without thinking about it.

The current Zhang Li is not popular, and the two movies are both applauded and sitting.

Although he Wu Jing has been a shadow for almost 20 years, there is still a bit of a gap compared to his two so-called senior brothers.

The older generation of kung fu stars are Cheng Long, Qi Xiaofu, Li Lianjie and others, and they can now be said to be famous.

The younger generation is him, Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo and others, they did not catch up with the golden age of kung fu films, but they caught up with the tail of kung fu films. I didn't eat the meat, but I still got a little soup.

It's just that kung fu movies are still in decline after all, and now the market is so big, and the most famous kung fu star of the younger generation is Zhen Zidan. If you want to really become popular, it is really not easy to become popular like your predecessors.

But now Zhang Li has found Wu Jing to make kung fu movies, although he is not sure if Zhang Li can make kung fu movies. After all, kung fu movies are not something that can be made by just one person, and the golden age has passed, and now I don't know if anyone is still willing to watch kung fu movies.

But this is an opportunity for Wu Jing, who wants to change, and he is not willing to give up any opportunity.

Otherwise, he would not have given up the good times in the mainland to shoot movies in HK, let alone directed and acted in the first two years.

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Li didn't stay at home for long, on the one hand, he couldn't stand his mother's treatment that was not as good as a dog, and on the other hand, he was also preparing for the work of "Jingwu Heroes".

"Hey, Angkor, have you arrived?"

A tired voice came from the other side of the phone, "Just returned to the capital, and I'll be there soon!"

It was Wu Jing who called, and it was Zhang Li who was going to meet this time. Meeting with Wu Jing this time is to talk about the movie, after all, Zhang Li is still a little worried about this movie.

In a hotel box, Zhang Li saw a pair of crutches next to Wu Jing, and couldn't help but say, "Injured?" Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but think of the way he traveled with iron crutches after filming "Wolf Warrior 2", don't have that kind of situation.

Wu Jing smiled happily, "It's just an injury during filming, it's not a big deal." ”

Zhang Li sighed: "It's not easy to be a kung fu actor!"

Wu Jing's start was very high, although it was not Wang Bang's start. But at least it's a four-jack opening. In 95, when filming "Kung Fu Kid Breaking Love", the director obviously wanted to learn "Shaolin Temple".

So director Zhang Xinyan went to the Beijing Martial Arts School to select actors, and at the beginning, Master Wu Jing hid a few good seedlings, but in an inconspicuous dumpling restaurant outside the school, he fell in love with Wu Jing at a glance, which can be regarded as luck.

It's a pity that Wu Jing only caught up with the tail of kung fu movies, but not the golden age. The movie was released in 1996, and at that time it was the time when gangsters/gangsters and gambling/film movies were popular, except for Xingye's movies that were not affected, the rest of the movies were not of these two types, and there was basically no market.

At that time, the hottest thing in the market was "Crazy Boy", which was released 3 times a year, and there were as many as seven or eight other movies about Hong Xing.

Then that year, there were movies such as "God of Food", "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Shot", "Police Story 4", "Black Man", "Young God of Gamblers" and so on.

"Kung Fu Kid Breaking Love" is really inconspicuous under so many movies, and then it hits the street like this. However, in the next 98 years, two TV series were filmed, one "Wipe Blood and Ask the Sword" and "Tai Chi Grandmaster", followed by "Xiao Li Flying Knife".

After that, he completely gained a foothold in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately Wu Jing was still very excluded in the HK film industry after that, and only had supporting roles and cameos.

Wu Jing is probably used to it, and he looks very open. "This is the entertainment industry, no one praises you, what can be done." ”

"Brother Ang, I think the movie "Jingwu Heroes" will make you a kung fu business card of the flower planter!" Zhang Li was very serious when he said this, maybe the kung fu movie will fail, but "Jingwu Hero" is a masterpiece of the flower planter no matter what.

"I've read the script and it's really well written. Even if it was the golden age of kung fu movies back then, it was a good book. Director Zhang, you look at me, I will definitely not live up to your expectations, you are free, I did it!" Wu Jing raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Look at such a fierce man. Zhang Li also raised his glass, and saw that Wu Jing had drunk all the liquor in the two or two glasses, so he had to raise his head and dry.

After coughing a few times, Zhang Li took out the script and handed it over

Some time ago, Wu Jing read that the script was still incomplete, and after Wu Jing agreed, and after meeting with Zhang Li, the script given by Zhang Li was complete.

looked at Wu Jing, who was reading the script, and said with a smile: "How about it, let's talk about my thoughts"

Wu Jing roughly finished reading the script and said: "The script is interesting, but there is a problem. Can Fumio Funakoshi and the heroine in it know who plays it. These two characters are important figures for Chen Zhen in kung fu and life. And who will play the final robot Fujita Tsuyoshi, which is not something that ordinary people can play. ”

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Do you have any ideas to put forward, you are the protagonist of this movie." If you have read the script, you should know that you are the soul of this movie. ”

Wu Jingdao: "If Funakoshi Fumio, you can let Zhang Jiayi or Zhang Fengyi try it." In the case of photons, maybe you can try four denier double ice. As for Mr. Fujita Tsuyoshi Haruka, it should be suitable. ”

Wu Jing said the lineup in his mind, but this lineup is not suitable or not. Let's just say that if you put together this lineup, I don't know how much the salary will cost.

Zhang Li coughed and said, "Don't think about these lineups." The role of Fumio Funakoshi must be a kung fu actor, otherwise it doesn't look like it just because of his momentum. As for the Sidan Shuangbing you mentioned, you tell me, if you can keep it from being suppressed when you are filming with them?"

Wu Jing was also stunned when he heard Zhang Li's words. It's also true, I just thought about acting, and I didn't consider that this is a kung fu movie. As for the question of the heroine, he was a little silent.

It's not that he can't act, but he is a kung fu actor, mainly relying on kung fu. Although the acting skills are not to be said, they are also good in kung fu movies.

But there is still a bit of a gap compared with the top actresses like Sidan Shuangbing, after all, neither Zhou Gongzi nor Xu Dacai can compare his current acting skills. If you really find it, even if the other party controls his acting skills, I'm afraid it will still be incongruous, and he is the actor of this movie, so it is impossible to be suppressed.

"Fumio Funakoshi, I'm going to find Kurata Hoaki to play it, I've been a kung fu actor for so many years, and I still have the strength. And the character he plays is also a neon man, so there's nothing wrong with that. As for Photon, I'm going to find a neon actress to play it, so that some details and actions can be grasped in place. Fujita Tsuyoshi's words are still no problem with Mr. Haruka. Speaking of Fujita Gang, Zhang Li also had a headache.

This villain must be a fierce enough character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to suppress Fumio Funakoshi and Chen Zhen. To be honest, if it weren't for Tsuyoshi Fujita being a neon man, he would have wanted to find Tyson to play it.

The original version of the week ratio is very good, but now it is almost 60, otherwise Zhang Li really wants to invite him over.

It's a pity that people are different from Kurata Yasuaki, Kurata Hoaki is still active in the film industry even in 2017.
