"Are you crazy!!!!"

A clear roar pierced the night sky in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and woke up the nightingales in the trees in the courtyard of Peng Yichen's house, as well as the little squirrels.

The roar came from Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's bedroom, but fortunately, the sound insulation in the baby room was very good, and Peng Yichen's parents would also go to New York to run errands.

Otherwise, Peng Yichen's family doesn't know how much trouble to make!

"No, I don't agree with you going to !!"

On the bed in the bedroom, Yu Jing's face was full of horror, as if she had heard the most terrifying thing in the world!

In fact, when she was cleaning up the room, she accidentally saw a script hidden under Peng Yichen's pillow!

That's right, it's the script for Batman: The Dark Knight.

In that script, behind the role of the clown, the words "Peng Yichen" were written by Ming Huanghuang.

Peng Yichen was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect Yu Jing to have such a big reaction.

To lighten the mood, he smiled and said, "It's just a character, and this character still has a smile ......"

Yu Jing angrily picked up a pillow and smashed it over, shouting, "Do you think I haven't seen a Batman movie!!?

As a film actor, especially an actor who has a certain intention of acting, how could Yu Jing not know that Jack Nicholson won countless praises and awards for this role!

And the role of the clown is also the first superhero movie role to be called Oscar-level.

Now, Nolan has brought this role back to the big screen, and Yu Jing is of course very supportive.

But Nolan's version of the Joker is too dangerous.

If it was other actors to perform, Yu Jing might not be so worried.

But for Peng Yichen, playing such a role is too dangerous.

A few years ago, Peng Yichen was too deep into the play because of Zhou Chaoxian, who performed "Shocking Black Gold". (She didn't know that Peng Yichen was actually because she had entered the plot world too much)

In the end, I have to take her to ride with her... reason, and then opened a "Chenjing shop" there, and lived for half a year before he recovered.

Since then, Yu Jing has understood that Peng Yichen's performance method is the kind of way to put himself into one role and let himself completely become that role, so that he can finally present so many amazing movie characters.

In this way, Peng Yichen has the acting skills of a world-class actor at a young age, but it also leaves a lot of trauma and pressure in his heart.

Yu Jing usually discusses the roles he has played with Peng Yichen at home, because he doesn't want him to indulge in the characters he has played and can't extricate himself.

But now, he is going to play such a dangerous role, how could Yu Jing agree.

"Hehe...... " Peng Yichen laughed awkwardly, caught the pillow thrown by Yu Jing, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this role is just a supporting role, and it can be filmed in ten or twenty days at most, I won't be too involved." ”

Yu Jing was not in the mood to laugh with Peng Yichen, she was still sitting on the bed with a cold face, not looking at Peng Yicheng at all.

Peng Yichen saw that she didn't speak, so he hurriedly ran over and hugged her shoulder, kissing, touching, and grimacing, and it took a while to amuse Yu Jing again.

Yu Jing and Peng Yichen frolicked for a while, calmed down, and still asked with some concern: "Can't you not play this role? You still have so many movie characters to choose from, and this role is not indispensable to you! Why do you have to play it?"

Peng Yichen also became serious and said: "Since the filming of "Front Destination" last year, I obviously feel that my acting progress has completely stagnated. Now my acting skills, although they are already good, but they are still a little short of the level of 'great performance', I think it is because the characters I play are often not pure enough, pure darkness and pure light, only this kind of extreme task can make my acting skills go further. ”

Yu Jing said expressionlessly, "Have you really thought about it?"

Peng Yichen said softly: "I think about it, don't worry, I have made sufficient preparations......"

Yu Jing was still worried, she knew that if she forcibly asked Peng Yichen not to take the role, then Peng Yichen would definitely do it.

But the relationship between husband and wife will definitely have a certain estrangement and rift because of this incident.

She can't accept the relationship with Peng Yichen, there is any flaw.

Therefore, Yu Jing can only choose to believe in Peng Yichen now, believing that he can distinguish the difference between the role and reality.

Therefore, in the end, Yu Jing nodded and agreed to let Peng Yichen play the role of a clown.

But the condition is that Yu Jing must follow the audience during his filming.

Of course, Peng Yichen agreed.

Because he knows that the most dangerous moment is when he enters the crew and crosses into the world of the plot, and when he really starts filming, there is no big problem.

The two finally came to an agreement and slept with a smile and a hug.

Early the next morning, a blazing sun hung over the blue sky.

As Peng Yichen, who had just argued with his wife all night, when he came to the headquarters of Chen Jing Film Company, he had an argument with another person.

"No, I can't accept these portraits of yours, I need to be a little more cute, my face must be like the fat doll in the Chinese New Year painting, just cute!"

In the conference room, the projector played the character drawings of "The Great Protector".

The production of "Kung Fu Panda" has entered the end, and the production of "The Legend of Wukong" is about to end.

The two animated feature films of China Animation Studio in the past two years have all entered the publicity stage, and the release time is getting closer and closer, but the staff in the animation studio cannot be idle, Peng Yichen hopes to make persistent efforts and make two more animated films next.

And these two animated films, he doesn't want to be just a commercial animated film like "Kung Fu Panda", he hopes to get an Oscar statuett and make a name for Huaxia Animation Studio.

Therefore, he came up with two animated feature films with the most profound connotation and meaning that he had seen in his previous life, and the final reputation was also very good.

One is the previous Pixar Studio, filmed in 2017 "Dream Travel".

As soon as the film was released, it won unanimous praise from fans all over the world, and finally received a bumper harvest in word-of-mouth and box office, and Pixar Studio did not bring an Oscar statuette.

And the other one is the "Great Protector" that Peng Yichen is watching now.

As one of the best domestic animated films in the previous life, the cartoon with the best reputation.

Under the cloak of absurd and interesting animated stories, "The Great Protector" tells a connotation story that deeply reflects the darkness of human society and the dark thoughts of human nature.

This is also the reason why Peng Yichen chose this movie, it is one of the few very good animated films that can combine profundity and fun, and it is also an excellent representative of Chinese cinema in the past, which helps to promote Chinese culture to the world.

In order to make this animated film well, Peng Yichen specially asked Spielberg to help, dug the wall from Paramount, and found the top Oscar-winning animation director - Mark Osborne, and his entire team to be responsible for this film.

This team was the production team of "Kung Fu Panda" in his previous life, and Peng Yichen believes that with his own producer, this team should be able to produce "The Great Protector".

In the Zhonghua Studio, the artists who were originally responsible for the production of "Kung Fu Panda" will continue to be responsible for the production of "Kung Fu Panda 2"

As for the production team of "The Legend of Wukong", Peng Yichen sent them to produce "Dream Travel".

In this way, in the next three to four years, China Animation Studio will have three animated feature films released.

From the commercial comedy "Kung Fu Panda", there is the warm and touching "Dream Travel", and the profound dark style of "The Great Protector".

This is Peng Yichen's plan for the future development of China Animation Studio.

But it has been more than 3 months since Peng Yichen handed over the script of "The Great Protector" to Mark Osborne.

The original design of the animated character that Mark Osborne handed over to him, I don't know why, turned out to be uglier and uglier the more he drew it?

The silhouette of the character is very simple, it is the shape of a gourd man.

The main problem is in the face, in Peng Yichen's view, Mark Osborne simply put the ugly Chinese characters in old Hollywood movies on the faces of the characters in "The Great Protector".

What's even worse is that he also pretended to be clever and painted three round pink marks on the eyes and mouth of each character, imitating the appearance of the Peking Opera harlequin.

Makes the whole character look both shrunken and eerie.

Peng Yichen stopped Mark Osborne's introduction to his animated character.

He said with some dissatisfaction: "Why do these characters all want to be villains, I can't see a trace of aura on my face, and I feel very weird." The most difficult thing to accept is that our protagonist, the Great Dharma Protector, should have a trace of seriousness and coldness on his face, because he is a bodyguard. But at the same time, he is a little cute and kind. But if you look at the face you painted, I only look at the four words: 'Extremely vicious'!"

Mark Osborne was unconvinced: "Peng, I really didn't see the questions you said. Aren't these gourd people the most traditional characters in oriental culture? Besides, what you asked for was to draw a group of gourd people, for the gourd people, their appearance and good enough, I completely refer to the real gourd, 1 to 1 drawing. ”

"Mark, no one will think that these characters are beautiful, whether they are Chinese audiences or European and American audiences!" Peng Yichen interrupted him with impatience.

Mark Osborne was still not convinced, he said: "Peng, you said, this is a dark style story, if the characters are too good, won't it dilute the style of the story and make the whole animation unbalanced?"

Peng Yichen was dissatisfied: "Didn't I say it clearly enough the first two times? Although the connotation of this story is dark, it must still be an animated film, and in appearance, it must still be a fun, cute and attractive enough movie." ”

Robinov, who was sitting on the side, smelled a hint of gunpowder from the conversation between the two at this time, as the president of Warner Pictures and the general manager of the North American branch of Chenjing Film Company, Robinov knew that the time had come to adjust the contradictions.
