From beginning to end, Shi Han and Lan Xiaolong were listeners, and among the two of these people present, they were the smallest, and they didn't dare to intervene when the big people spoke.

Ling Yanran's sudden appearance made the two of them look at each other, this new diva in the Chinese pop music scene can be said to be a figure that everyone knows and everyone knows, does her arrival mean that the heroine of the movie "Mulan" is her? From CCTV's "" program, they know that Ling Yanran's singing is just a side job, she is actually an actor from a professional class, but even if she is such an actress who has never been tested by the market, is it too unreasonable to be promoted to the position of heroine like this.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes, as if something important had been forgotten by them, but they couldn't remember it for a while!

Li Qingyuan gave up his seat to his daughter-in-law with a smile on his face, stood beside her and introduced: "This is Ling Yanran, who will play the heroine of the movie "Mulan", and is also my wife, I don't know what Mr. Ridley thinks?"

Shi Lan and the two suddenly realized, they didn't expect Ling Yanran to be Li Qingyuan's wife, this is a big news, if it is exposed, it will definitely cause an uproar, it seems that this time you have to keep your mouth tight, otherwise no one will be able to save yourself if something happens.

"Ahh ”

"Art films are too niche, and now they are a capitalist society, no matter how good an actor is, he will eventually go into commercial films to prove his worth, so it is better to shoot commercial films that are both artistic and blockbuster. ”

"It's not easy to combine art and commerce perfectly, and I've been trying to do this for a long time, hoping that our collaboration will have a happy ending. Ridley Scott looked at Ling Yanran with admiration like a green water and green lotus, it was so rare to be able to cooperate with such a goddess.

"Mr. Ridley may not know that my wife has tens of millions of fans in Southeast Asia, and even more so in China, and with the support of these fans, the foundation for success has been laid, and as long as you can make an epic movie masterpiece, I think it will all happen. ”

"Wow, that's really good news, I didn't expect Ms. Ling to be an excellent singer, and I have more confidence in our cooperation. Ridley Scott's wrinkled face stretches out, and with the entire Southeast Asian market as a support, even if the box office is not too ugly.

"Well, I would like to give you some small suggestions, first, we must try to restore the social background of the time and highlight the characters; second, restore the weapons and equipment at that time in line with the characteristics of the times, and make some changes on this basis, Manny is your strong point in this aspect, don't let me down; third, don't have sensational love scenes, don't have passion fragments, Huaxia's emotions are subtle, If you can't open your mouth, you should include the reluctance to burst out in a look that is about to leave, which is more touching, thought-provoking and resonant. Emotional drama has always been rejected by Li Qingyuan, so he has always emphasized in this regard, hoping that the screenwriters present can understand his meaning.

"That's why Mr. Li added two life-and-death parting episodes to the story outline to resonate with the audience?" asked Ridley Scott.

"There is an old saying in Huaxia, 'If you can't get it, it's the best', and only when there is a conflict will the mood change, and only then can it cause people's sighs and resonance. ”

"I think I can understand Mr. Li's thoughts, it seems that I want to raise my requirements for Miss Ling, my feelings are subtle, Miss Ling hopes that you will not disappoint me. Ridley Scott said to Ling Yanran.

"I have a little little experience in acting, so I ask Mr. Ridley to give me advice when the time comes. Ling Yanran responded.

Ridley Scott expressed his understanding, and Li Qingyuan cast his eyes on the two Chinese screenwriters and said: "Shi and Lan, two brothers, in addition to assisting John and Paul in writing the script, you also have to assist Manny in restoring the social background of the Northern Wei Dynasty to set up the set and participate in the production of weapons and equipment models, you two are busy!"

Li Qingyuan's words made the two very excited, to be able to participate in a real Chinese epic masterpiece, this is an opportunity to make a name for themselves, no matter how busy and tired they are.

"Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we will definitely strive to do our best, and not embarrass us Chinese people. The two pieces of fat on Shi Han's lips trembled and made a guarantee.

Li Qingyuan nodded, turned his gaze back to Ridley Scott and said, "Does Mr. Ridley have a favorite action director?"

"Martial arts movement design is your strength in China, and you have more say in this aspect. Ridley mentioned a word, and then kept silent, it seemed that he had given the initiative to Li Qingyuan.

"Since Mr. Ridley doesn't have a favorite candidate, let's choose the best and most famous, Sister Jiang, you go and contact Yuan Baye to see if he has time to pick up our case. Li Qingyuan turned his head and explained to Jiang Yan.

Yuan Heping cooperated with Helium Star Film and Television Company in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu", and it was easy to contact him, Jiang Yan made an OK gesture to him, confessed his guilt, and went out to contact Yuan Heping.

"Guys, now that the general policy has been decided, it's up to you to write the script. ”

In the evening, at a banquet for several movie creators, Jiang Yan brought him bad news.

"Qingyuan, I contacted Yuan Baye just now, and he said that he had no extra time to accept our invitation for the guidance of many movies at hand. ”

Li Qingyuan frowned, this is not good news, "Then do you have any other suitable candidates?"

"Yuan Baye recommended Yuan Kui to me just now, I have already contacted him, he said that he has time, I don't know if you like this candidate?"

"Jackie Chan's senior brother, this is a good candidate, his participation in the guidance of "Fang Shiyu", "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Rat Guts" are all very good, if he wants to choose him!"

"It's best if you're willing, even if you don't want to, there's no way, I've already sent an invitation to someone!hey!"

"I'm happier that you can make your own decisions, and if you have to ask me for everything, then I might as well get you out of the way as soon as possible. ”

At the banquet table, the main creators of the movie put all their energy on the setting of the plot, and a large table of food could not arouse their interest, Li Qingyuan was also happy to eat and drink with Ling Yanran.

The movie has made substantial progress, early the next morning, Ling Yanran worked harder, and Li Qingyuan taught him all kinds of national art routines to play well, this is her first real starring role, she wants to prove her strength in the movie.

At noon, Yuan Kui came to the film and television company with a backpack, and Li Qingyuan, who had just come to the company, received him in his office.

This is a middle-aged man who looks very honest and blessed, with a height of more than one meter and seven meters, and a very strong figure, he knows at a glance that he is a person who exercises regularly, Li Qingyuan impressed him the most is Li Guobang who shouted "safety first" all day long in the movie "Fang Shiyu's sequel".

At that time, when watching this "Fang Shiyu" movie, Li Qingyuan was still an ignorant teenager, full of longing for this martial arts world, and now more than ten years have passed, and the fairytale martial arts world has long been broken, but he still admires this person who has influenced his growth.

After saying hello and introducing Yuan Kui to the seat and sitting down separately, Li Qingyuan gave him great respect and said: "Thank you very much Mr. Yin for accepting our invitation, the movie "Mulan" is definitely a tiger with you joining us, and I hope that our cooperation can create the history of Chinese films." ”

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Li has a lot of hope for this movie, I don't know what kind of history you want to create?"

"How about breaking the record of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" Li Qingyuan probed, wanting to see his reaction.

"The goal is not small, the difficulty is not small, and as an action director, I can only say that I did my best. ”

Of course, Li Qingyuan understands the subtext of Yuan Kui's words, as an action director, he can't interfere with the quality of the film, the key is still in Ridley Scott.

"Hehe, it's too early to say that, me

Let's talk about movies. There are not many female-dominated movies in the world today, and there are congenital weaknesses in physical strength for women, both in movies and in reality. As a war-based movie, according to the basic logic, preserving physical strength on the battlefield is a key point, and the actions you design must be complicated and simplified. ”

"Mr. Li is very reasonable, I will pay attention to this. Yuan Kui took out his notebook and carefully wrote down Li Qingyuan's request.

Yuan Kui's conscientious and responsible behavior made Li Qingyuan appreciate it very much, and when he saw him put down his pen, he said: "In addition, I want to ask Mr. Yin, there must be a lot of martial arts scenes in this movie, do you have any requirements for the heroine? Or do you need special training?"

Of course, this depends on the heroine herself, and there is no problem with female stars like Xiangjiang. Yuan Kui replied.

"I don't know if Mr. Yin knows Ling Yanran?"

Yuan Kui's mind turned, this Ling Yanran is a singer, and now she wants to change careers to enter the film and television industry? This Ling Yanran knows how to climb the boss's bed, it seems that this Mr. Li is fascinated, and he wants to throw money at Bomeiren with a smile.

"Who wouldn't know Ling Yanran, the new queen of the music world, is Mr. Li confident that she can carry the role of Mulan?"

Li Qingyuan didn't know that Yuan Kui was climbing into the boss's bed in his heart, and replied seriously: "Mr. Yin may not know, Yanran is an authentic acting professional, and none of the actors in the same period can beat her in acting skills, I'm just worried that she can't bear it physically, I don't want her to be injured because of a movie, otherwise my mother-in-law will have to settle accounts with me." ”

Yuan Kui's head couldn't turn for a while, Ling Yanran was Li Qingyuan's wife, and she had never heard of it, how could a wealthy man like him think of letting his wife shoot such a thankless movie? Isn't it good to make a literary film and win an award? I really don't understand what these rich people think.

"Since Miss Ling is from a professional class, it would be great, as for the action training, Mr. Li still let Miss Ling practice some martial arts routines first, lay some foundation for the future performance, and then conduct unified training after the script is completed and the casting is completed. ”

"It's okay, then bother Mr. Yin!"

There is a basic outline provided by Li Qingyuan, and after more than a month of cooperation between Chinese and American editors, the script of "Mulan" has been newly released.

In fact, in the previous life 09 years, Huanzhu Gege Xiaoyanzi made a "Mulan" movie, Li Qingyuan has also seen this movie like a TV series, there is neither a big scene of battle, nor a blood-burning bridge, whether it is the relationship between the characters or the storyline, there are no ups and downs, there are very few scenes in the film about Mulan joining the army for her father, almost all the plots are paved to promote the relationship between Mulan and Wentai, which makes people think that it is a love literary film dressed in the coat of war themes.

It's really embarrassing for Xiaoyanzi and Chen Kun, literary and artistic youths.

And now, the plot of the script prepared by Helium Star Film and Television Company is very full, and its storyline began in Mulan's growth, the text involves Mulan's secret practice of martial arts, helping her father to do rough work, chopping wood and carrying water, going to the field to farm and go to the mountains to hunt to supplement the family, taking care of her younger brother, and her sister's marriage made the family less laborer, making life more difficult, which made Mulan an ambush for her father to join the army, and made her make a reasonable paving for her achievements in the army.

In the middle of the army, military training plus learning the art of war strengthened the rationality of meritorious service, of course, in the middle, it was necessary to insert the death of key figures, use life and death to tear up, and then add some small battle plots to improve Mulan's military position, making it possible for her to lead the army alone.

In the later period, the Northern Wei army, under the leadership of Hua Mulan, fought an earth-shattering battle with the Rouran people, pushing the whole plot to a bloody stage and leaving a deep impression on the audience.

finally resigned and returned home, which aroused the admiration of many colleagues, and the story ended here.

In this way, Ling Yanran has less love and love in the movie, which makes her more prominent as an independent heroine in the movie.

Li Qingyuan was very satisfied with this script and directly approved it, so far the "Mulan" movie was officially approved, and preliminary preparations and casting began.
