Chapter 523: The script of "Dragon Gate Guest", the behind-the-scenes lineup arrives in Hong Kong

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

On the third floor of the Dragon City Ice Room, it has been converted into an intimate small bar with dim lighting. Where the TV was originally placed, there was a large wine cabinet and bar.

The original three bedrooms were opened through the walls, and only the original one of Wu Xiaozu was retained, which was expanded into a personal creation studio.

In the past few days, Wu Xiaozu has been working here to write scripts.

Dragon City Ice House has frequently appeared in movies, and "Crazy Boy" alone has become a place of pilgrimage for many fans. There are many pictures of celebrities hanging on the walls.

Because of the convenient transportation, the lobby and the second floor here are crowded every day.

The original guy has been upgraded to manage the store manager and manager.

Su Laiyao has applied for the brand name 'Dragon City Ice House' and has also established a company called "Kowloon City Restaurant Management Co., Ltd." The registered capital is 10 million. The legal person is himself.

The shareholders are four brothers.

He is planning to open 3-5 directly operated stores by the end of this year. Make a brand, and then use Pengcheng as a springboard to enter the southern coastal market. Cantonese cuisine and tea restaurants may have certain limitations in the mainland, but they are not without development potential. Su Liyao himself believes that the branded catering industry is the blue ocean market in the mainland.

Or rather...... In the 90s, the mainland was full of blue oceans

As the restaurant began to be formalized and commercialized, the paparazzi squatting became disappearing.

Maybe it's dark under the lights.

Wu Xiaozu was much more relaxed and quiet on the third floor, and he was able to have more time to think about the script and study the characters.

"How's it going?"

Wu Xiaozu was wearing an off-white T-shirt of cotton and linen, with cropped pants of the same line of cotton and linen Harun small feet, standing at the bar, holding a trident cone to chisel the ice hockey in his hand, and stunned two ISO cups with the ice hockey.

Pour a small glass of Johnnie Walker whiskey and walk out of the bar smiling.

"Golden Harvest and Mai Dangxiong's "Three Wolves Case" made me very depressed. โ€

Liang Jiahui rolled up a white shirt on his forearm, a pair of dark slacks underneath, leaned lazily on the independent leather sofa, took the whiskey, looked at the crystal and sexy ice hockey, smelled the unique smoky smell of whiskey mixed with vanilla, and took a sip-

"Mai Dangxiong's team is really sharp in filming, the whole crew is in a hurry, one drama, black and daytime, reminds me of the feeling of filming "Butcher on a Rainy Night", Mai Dangxiong is very similar to you......"

Wu Xiaozu picked up the independent sofa with long legs to the side, and the two of them surrounded the small round glass dwarf case, the lights around were very dim, and there was relaxed jazz music, the corners of his mouth were curled, and he asked with a faint smile: "Like me?"

"Just as crazy. โ€

"Haha~"

Wu Xiaozu took a sip of the wine in the glass, stood up with a smile, "Leave three months for me, I wrote a draft script, you can take a look at it......"

"Wow ~ Cannes City Palme d'Or director's new ......"

Liang Xiaokou squeezed his eyebrows and teased, hurriedly killed the whiskey in the glass, and solemnly wiped his hands with the coat that Director Wu put on the sofa next to him, "What's the theme?"

"Heh..."

Wu Xiaozu held a few hand-painted manuscripts in his hand and smiled slightly: "Martial arts!"

โ€œ๏ผŸโ€

Liang Xiaokou was stunned, but before he could think about it, his eyes were immediately attracted by the sketch in front of him.

An ink figure drawing.

On the white paper, only the outline of the characters can be seen, but this is it, but it can give people more room for reverie.

In the smoke, the fierce horse roared, and immediately a man wearing a hat and holding a narrow knife in his hand, howling the west wind, came majestically.

The face is not clear, but it can be imagined.

The cold light of the knife is not realistic, but it is full of blood.

The yellow sand exploded, and the horses' hooves flew into the air. There is Kunlun courage in the heart, and death is like dust!

"What kind of sword is this, or is it a Dongying sword?" asked Liang Jiahui in a low voice.

"The name of the knife is embroidered spring, and the clothes are brocade. โ€

Wu Xiaozu said, smiling and taking out a few photos, "Here are some photos I found from Uncle Quan." โ€

"Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, this is Jinyiwei?"

Liang Xiaokou is not illiterate, he has gone to college seriously...... People who didn't give birth.

"That's wrong. โ€

Wu Xiaozu said with a smile: "This script is adapted from Uncle Quan's "Dragon Gate Inn" back then. However, my script is mainly placed after the defeat of Tumubao in Zhu Qizhen and before returning to China. There are two masters of the country, there are warats outside, internal strife and entanglement, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. This history is interesting. The emperor guards the country, and the Ying clan closes the door, do you say it's interesting?

This story takes place in the frontier land, the people of Warat, the people of Tatar, the people of Emperor Jingtai, the people of Yingzong, and the people of speculation...... The forces of all four sides are gathered in a small inn.

The Emperor Taishang returned to the court, to kill or not to kill, to save or not to save?

In history, the emperor who was captured by foreign tribes, Ming Yingzong was not the first person, not to mention far away, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were both captured. But...... At that time, the Song Dynasty was already terminally ill and declining.

The Yingzong period was different, and the Ming Dynasty was still very strong at this time. Warat and Tatar could not shake the Ming Dynasty in the real sense...... This kind of capture, the struggle between the factions within the dynasty is even more cruel.

The problem is that Emperor Jingtai is not a ruthless emperor, and at the same time, the people he promoted are honest and loyal ministers......"

"Is a loyal minister bad?"

Liang Xiaokou was puzzled, flipped through the hand-drawn manuscript below, and the one below was an inn standing in the lonely smoke of the desert.

A signboard made of rag flags, unrecognizable.

The horse was tied idly to the rough fence next to it, on the edge of the stone pier, naked, and the strong man with a sheepskin jacket at his waist lowered his face and sharpened his knife.

At the eaves, there is a graceful woman wearing a skirt with her legs crossed on the top, and a silver hairpin on her head.

Inside the door, there are a few strokes, describing the scene of people drinking and having fun.

This painting uses stick figure sketches, and the group portrait is very lens-sensitive.

"Honest and loyal ministers always lack a little ruthlessness...... An emperor who thinks of his feelings meets a loyal minister who is an upright gentleman, which is good for the Ming Dynasty, but not necessarily good for themselves...... Especially in the midst of such a turbulent conspiracyโ€”"

Wu Xiaozu smiled, "When the Emperor Taishang comes back, the enemy will go to great lengths to protect him, and the loyal ministers will kill him instead, don't you think it's funny?"

It is difficult to discern why Emperor Jingtai did not kill Ming Yingzong back then, there are many speculations of modern people, but after all, they are not ancients. History is a sister-in-law who can be dressed up, who can really say clearly?

Wu Xiaozu didn't want to become a historian of the Ming Dynasty, he just borrowed from this history.

Jianghu temples.

It seems that the heavens are separated, but they are always very cleverly united.

Mr. Cha's, he himself also likes "Smiling Proud Jianghu" the most, and the people are inexhaustible. Every age has a different perception of reading. At this time, he sympathized with Yue Buqun

What is a hero? The simplest criterion is to sacrifice oneself for others! From this point of view, Yue Buqun should also be regarded as a hero. He seems to have spent his whole life for Huashan......

"Dragon, Gate, Guest, Tree" may be such a story.

"How many months does this play take?"

Liang Jiahui collected all the sketches, stared at Wu Xiaozu with his eyes like torches, and raised the drawings in his hand, "I want to play this brocade and guard hundreds of households!"

"He's not the hero, you think about it. โ€

Wu Xiaozu smiled, "He is not the kind of man that the public likes, but he is burdened with heavy shackles and does not please ......"

"Dragon, Gate, Guest, Tree" must choose some stars to play. A martial arts film, without star popularity, even if it is Wu Xiaozu, I dare not guarantee that the audience will buy it.

Hou Xiaoyuan, that street fighter, knows that he asked Luo Dong to play Ah Si. Because Hong Kong Island stars have more appeal to the market. Wu Xiaozu naturally will not give up his advantages.

"Lin Guoyun is just as unpleasant. When I first acted in this play, I was chased and beaten by my grandmother on ......the street," Liang Jiahui said, and couldn't help but roll his eyes and laugh.

At the beginning, he played Lin Guoyun, which was really born out of nowhere, and now when many fans choose the villains on Hong Kong Island, they also rank Lin Guoyun first, among the top ten villains, there is also Liangkun he played in "Crazy Boy".

"It takes at least five months. You will now need to undergo some basic martial arts routine training, as well as some Ming Dynasty etiquette and movements. By the way, can you ride a horse? You don't need to be able to cross the desert, but at least don't use a stand-in. Although some close-ups can be used in a three-horse carriage...... But the middle and close shots require you to play in person. Wu Xiaozu made a clean request.

Five months is not a long time for a costume martial arts film, and now Xu Yu and Hu Jinquan's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which has been in preparation for nearly half a year, does not even have a shadow.

The play involves a lot of martial arts action, which requires the main actors to undergo basic martial arts training.

In film shooting, dangerous actions can naturally be used as stand-ins, but many non-dangerous actions need to be done by the actors themselves. Basic training is essential.

At this time, the criticized exaggeration and nonsense of Hong Kong films were created because of the lack of preliminary preparations.

However, Wu Xiaozu has always emphasized this point.

Especially after winning the Palme d'Or, he is now more or less a feathered person...... โ•ฎ(โ•ฏโ–ฝโ•ฐ)โ•ญ๏ผ

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Luohu Port, Joint Inspection Building.

At this time, Pengcheng to Hong Kong Island is not as convenient as in later generations, just take the bus and go out. The requirements are now strict, and there are not as many border crossings as they were later.

The hall was overcrowded.

Every day, there are a lot of people who come and go between Hong Kong Island and Pengcheng, and many Hong Kong businessmen and Pengcheng people who have relatives on Hong Kong Island make "money" through this every day. Of course, there are more smugglers at this time......

However, Chen Kaige and his entourage naturally did not have to smuggle to Hong Kong Island, they took the regular channel.

It was all in the name of "going to Hong Kong to study and investigate" at this time.

At this time, it is really a matter for mainlanders to go to Hong Kong Island to study and investigate. What's more, it was the Hong Kong Island company that took the initiative to send an invitation letter...... The local government will pay attention!

In the case of commercial investment, because of the question of whether the surname is the society or the surname, the local governments in the interior are still vacillating from side to side, especially in the western region. But cultural exchange has nothing to do with the form of government!!

Especially Wu Xiaozu, an internationally renowned "patriotic director".

The phrase "the more national, the more global" has been published in internal magazines, and the Ministry of Culture has specially issued instructions to local cultural departments, requiring them to learn and understand "the more national, the more global" ......

Wu Xiaozu himself didn't think he was very good, but mainland politicians knew his influence.

This is a director who represents the international level and honor of the Chinese.

Moreover, it is different from Xiao Mouzi's behavior of "exposing national ignorance and flattering imperialism". Director Wu won the Palme d'Or in Cannes with oriental-style love!

From his identity, to his movie concept, to his political tendencies, Wu Xiaozu definitely belongs to the kind of "progressives" that various local governments are vying for.

Before leaving, the government where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located knew that seven or eight people, including Kai Ge, Gu Changwei, and Gong Li, were going to Hong Kong Island, and they directly ordered a task, and they must invite each other to come to the "Douyin City" to invest in filming and carry out cultural exchanges......

Asia Pacific, Nantes Tricontinental, Golden Horse, Golden Statue, Cannes ...... Don't talk nonsense, and there are five good young people who are self-motivated, who doesn't like it??

Brother Chen Kai smacked his cigarette and had a sad face.

You said, someone else is a literary director who makes movies, you have to let me talk about business with others...... Vulgar !!

It's hard to be short in vain!

Gu Changwei didn't have Lao Chen's concerns, stretched his neck to look at the long queue in front of him, and today he deliberately wore a suit from a Pier card stall bought for 170 yuan from Wangfujing Street, and wore European-style leather shoes bought in France last time, with big white socks!

Black leather shoes with white socks are so stylish! The suit pants are pulled above the navel, and from time to time they are inserted into their pockets, lifting the hem of the suit, and carrying a BB machine on their belt. Otherwise, flip open the cuffs and take a look at the seagull watch with a perpetual calendar on your wrist.

"I don't know, when I get to Hong Kong Island, is there a signal ......?"

Gu Changwei flipped through the BB machine and muttered in a low voice, "This thing is high-tech, it should be fine...... Komiya, have you ever been to Hong Kong Island?"

Next to him, Emperor Gong stood there with a calm expression

"I've been there once before, but I haven't turned ......around much," Gong Li pulled his suitcase, "At that time, I thought Hong Kong Island was really prosperous." โ€

"I don't envy its prosperity, I just like the ......excitement of going to strange places," Gu Changwei said seriously, "Every time I pass by some strange alleys, I am very excited......

"......" Gong Li glanced at him and didn't answer.

"Director Wu is said to be a big boss on Hong Kong Island, so I don't know if he invited us to a big meal. Gu Changwei looked at the endless long dragon, "The thought of being able to cooperate with Director Wu made me a little excited. Have you seen Director Wu'......s movie? Really, it's definitely different from those Hong Kong films, it's very good! Every movie is a textbook guide for filmmakers.

The color, light, lens, and picture are really amazing!

I like his "Life and Death, Fortune in the Sky" the most, the design is too bold! The pinnacle film structure! It's a pity that it was not selected for the main competition unit that year, otherwise, it would have won the award a long time ago. โ€

"It's passed, don't ink. Brother Chen Kai glared at Gu Changwei angrily, during this time, whoever mentions the award, he is in a hurry!!

His mentality is similar to that of Shen Gongbao...... A Jiang Ziya, who is not as good as him, suddenly became a sweetheart, and he achieved nothing.

In the past few days, a group of bastards in the circle of the imperial capital have been chattering to him all day long: Gentlemen, lose the face of our imperial capital!

Kai Ge's face is getting bigger and bigger, and his nostrils are like a blower, especially these days, Xiao Mouzi has been in the news all day long.

He felt as if the other party was wearing Pinru's clothes......

"Xiao Gong, work hard this time, this drama will definitely be fine!"

Brother Chen Kai encouraged the palace emperor, "I made a telegram before, and Director Wu is going to invest at least 15 million to shoot this drama." Absolutely great production!"

"Hmm. Emperor Gong also nodded.

She thought about this play for a long time, and finally took it. There are many reasons for this, including avoiding public opinion, wanting to quiet down, and of course, Wu Xiaozu, a great director.

After a while, it was their turn to pass the security check. Under the leadership of Lao Chen, several people also embarked on the road of Hong Kong Island......
