Yuan Biao came quickly, in fact, he originally planned to go on vacation to relax, but the filming of several dramas he participated in recently did not go very well, acting is not like anything, and the salary of this outdated familiar face is more expensive than that of ordinary newcomers, so that many film crews do not want to invite him more and more.

However, when Yuan Heping invited him to have dinner with Tsui Hark, Yuan Biao's heart was still very happy, because now Tsui Hark is almost red and purple, and he is one of the few international directors in the entire Hong Kong director who is regarded as a promising international director, and the pattern is completely different from Hong Kong films and ordinary directors. Even if you don't make a movie about him right away, it's good to be familiar.

"Well, after seeing a real person, I think he looks more like him. Although Yuan Heping said this to Tsui Hark, it made Yuan Biao confused.

"Indeed, he is similar to Liang Kuan as I imagined, which is very in line with the role positioning of the movie, so that we will eat first and talk while eating. Tsui Hark smiled, and then the three groups got into their own cars and set off towards the place where Tsui Hark was treated.

asked for a large private room, there were a lot of people this time, plus the assistants they each brought or something, the big private room barely sat down, but there were only a few big guys who spoke, and the rest were just small roles in serving tea and pouring wine.

"I'm Tsui Hark, I guess you know me. Today it was Yuan Heping who recommended you to me, saying that you are more suitable for playing Liang Kuan, and after I met the real person, I think it is really suitable. After three rounds of drinking, everyone slowly got acquainted, and Tsui Hark got straight to the point and said his purpose.

When it comes to Liang Kuan, Yuan Biao has a familiar image in his mind, he has played that role, and in order to better integrate into the character, he has done a lot of detailed and in-depth understanding of Liang Kuan.

"You mean, you still want me to play the role in your movie?" Yuan Biao asked with some uncertainty, generally speaking, directors are very taboo to use an actor to play the same role, and it is from different directors, if the box office is high, it is called a scholar's family, but if the box office is low, it means that the actor is incapable, all in all, no one wants to use it, but today's unformed rule is not counted here in Tsui Hark.

"Yes, I'm going to shoot "Once Upon a Time", and Liang Kuan in it is the second male lead. I think you can do it, would you like to act?" Tsui Hark did not beat around the bush when he spoke, in fact, he hoped that the actors would be able to gather in place tomorrow and let the crew start work as soon as possible. However, "Once Upon a Time" is a martial arts movie after all, although Tsui Hark will make exaggerated innovations in the action, and will not shoot it completely according to the kung fu in reality. However, you still don't need martial arts skills to perform some details well. Otherwise, even if the action design is beautiful, the actor has no kung fu foundation and can't do those actions, which is a pity.

Yuan Biao glanced at Yuan Heping, he was a little hesitant in his heart, after all, this is a role that has already been played once, and he knows the character of Liang Kuan very well, but the actors, they all hope that they can take on some roles that are different from the previous ones, plus Liang Kuan is a villain, and no one will feel comfortable in his heart.

However, Tsui Hark is a great director, and being able to cooperate with him is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties, Yuan Biao also knows that this opportunity is not easy to come by, if it is not recommended by Yuan Heping, he may have few opportunities to communicate with Tsui Hark, and it is also possible that he will not be able to cooperate in this life, if he refuses at this time, it will be difficult to appear in Tsui Hark's movies in the future.

"How is it, have you thought about it?" Because the light in the screening room was dark, Tsui Hark couldn't see Yuan Biao's tangled look, he thought that Yuan Biao would be very happy to play this role, after all, the previous "Lin Shirong" was not very popular, and Huang Feihong, who he planned to shoot this time, everything was in accordance with the previous specifications, whether it was investment or casting, he was much stronger than Yuan Heping, so Tsui Hark thought that Yuan Biao had no reason to refuse him.

"Okay, I'll play Liang Kuan, Director Xu, this time I won't look so old. Yuan Biao gritted his teeth, and then said in a relaxed tone, as soon as he spoke, he made several people present laugh.

Seeing that Yuan Biao agreed, Tsui Hark's heart was missing one thing. The remaining non-important roles don't need to be invited by Tsui Hark himself, the main roles are done, and the remaining roles, if you change some people casually, it will not affect the direction of the movie.

The anxious Tsui Hark plans to leave for Humen Film and Television Base immediately, and the actors will have to train for at least a month or so, during which time he must prepare everything, and when the actors' training is over, he can start filming.

……

"Hello, I'm Jet Li. After everyone returned to the Humen Film and Television Base, they found that Jet Li had arrived in advance, since he promised Tsui Hark to shoot this movie, he has been very excited, for this kind of patriotic theme, everyone will have a heroic dream, not to mention that Jet Li is still the protagonist, and half of the shots in the whole movie are him.

"I'm Yuan Biao. Yuan Biao and Jet Li shook hands, because both of them know martial arts, so when they shook hands, the strength couldn't help but increase a little, which was quite tentative.

Yuan Biao and Jackie Chan are brothers and have a deep study of martial arts, while Jet Li has learned martial arts in China and won the championship of formal martial arts competitions, both of them can be regarded as having a certain amount of kung fu.

Perhaps, compared with those international martial arts masters, it is still a bit insufficient. However, it can never be regarded as a fist embroidery.

After that, the two wore protective gear, and after a few tricks, they both knew that the other party had a kung fu foundation.

After knowing each other's strength, they were arranged to live in a hotel near the film and television base, and started training at six o'clock every morning.

However, a week later, Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Xinyi came to see Tsui Hark, and they felt that they might need to hire a few more martial arts instructors, just the two of them, which was a bit unbearable.

There are a lot of creative martial arts movements in this movie, and all kinds of actions must be based on the premise of traditional martial arts routines, and the fight is more beautiful.

Therefore, all kinds of moves must be mastered, and the moves are required to be modified, and the actors are taught to use these moves and use them in the movie.

Because Tsui Hark emphasizes the cleanliness of the fight, sometimes, more than ten seconds of action, it takes a martial arts instructor to think about it for a few days, design dozens of different plans, and choose the most beautiful and artistic effect of the fight.

"This is easy to do, we have looked for Liu Jialiang before, but he did not agree, but Liu Jiarong does not have so many rules, he is the same as his brother, they are both martial arts instructors. After listening to Tsui Hark's request, the assistant quickly gave a proposal, this time Tsui Hark did not go to invite Liu Jiarong in person, he had a lot of things, so in the end the assistant went, fortunately, Liu Jiarong really didn't pay attention to these, and came over very happily.

Slowly, whether it is a variety of supporting roles or protagonists, they have been found, and Yuan Biao and Jet Li have improved quickly in the process of adaptive training. Of course, this improvement does not mean actual combat ability, but the sparring moves needed to shoot movies, some of which are almost at your fingertips!

After all, they are all people with a background in martial arts, as long as they give them the general lead, they can quickly integrate it, and they can also put forward their own ideas from time to time.
