Chapter 973: Thirteen Aunts (Third Shift)

For Kong Yifan, Yang Ming still knows.

Martial arts Xiaosheng, handsome appearance, flexible skills, and okay acting skills, let this guy mix well in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get a role.

And the movies he starred in did not do so well at the box office.

This led to Kong Yifan's salary getting higher and higher.

Yang Ming doesn't have any special opinions about this person, to be honest, as long as he is an actor who is suitable for the role of the movie, even if it costs a certain price, he will not take it to heart.

But the nature of the movie "Liu Changqing: Top Gun" is not an ordinary action movie, and it really has to be shot with the effect Yang Ming wants.

Then this movie is bound to be a big hit and become a milestone for kung fu movies.

What honor is not honorable, Yang Ming doesn't care, the key is that Kong Yifan is not his own family.

Even when he was filming "Shaolin Temple" before, he had asked people to contact Kong Yifan and wanted to invite the other party to play an important one of the thirteen stick monks, but the other party heard that he was not the male number one, and if he joined the crew, he would have to shave his hair, so he did not hesitate to refuse Yang Ming's invitation.

To be honest, if it was just a normal refusal, Yang Ming would not take it to heart.

After all, Kong Yifan is already well-known in the entertainment industry, has made a name for himself, won a lot of fame, and asked people to play a supporting role, which is indeed a bit contemptuous, but Yang Ming also gave the other party enough in terms of salary.

It's just that he didn't expect that Kong Yifan refused his invitation, and said a lot of humiliating things about Yang Ming and Oriental DreamWorks through his agent.

This made Yang Ming very unhappy in his heart.

He was too busy to take it to heart.

Now hearing Lu Wansong mention this name, Yang Ming shook his head without thinking and said, "He can't do it!"

What are you kidding, the "Liu Changqing" series of movies can definitely hold up a signature action superstar, how could he give such a good opportunity to a person who once spoke wildly to himself.

If it weren't for his fear of this series of movies because of a "Transformers", he would have wanted to play the role of Liu Changqing.

When Lu Wansong heard Yang Ming's words, his heart sank, Kong Yifan is an actor he is very optimistic about, and it is very consistent with the image of Liu Changqing he set.

He couldn't help but say: "Mr. Yang, I feel that Kong Yifan is very much in line with the image of Grandmaster Liu Changqing, if you don't use him, you may really not be able to find a suitable person, unless you play this role." ”

Although he is very grateful to Yang Ming for being able to make the decision to invest in the filming of this film, as a director, he still has to insist on some rights that belong to him.

Yang Ming saw Lu Wansong's expression, knew that the other party might have misunderstood, signaled him not to worry, and then said slowly: "I know you fancy Kong Yifan's intentions, his ancient costume style is born with a chivalrous grandmaster, the temperament and demeanor of the country and the people, right?"

Speaking of which, he also has to admire Kong Yifan's costume style does have a unique charm and a good skin, but he still doesn't agree with the other party's way of behaving.

Seeing Lu Wansong nodded, Yang Ming recalled the screen image of Huang Feihong in his previous life, and continued: "It cannot be denied that Kong Yifan's costume style is a good material for being born to play a hero, which is also the favorite actor used by action directors in the past, but Liu Changqing also filmed like this, the screen image is too monotonous, no matter how much he helps the world and supports justice, first of all, he is also a person with flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires!"

"Therefore, this time for the design of Liu Changqing's character, I want to give all the audience a refreshing feeling. It must be heroic and serious, vibrant, and more humane, and add the element of love to it!"

"Eh!" Lu Wansong became more and more surprised the more he listened, and when he got to the back, he opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

Kung fu movies still have to add elements of love, is that still a kung fu movie?

When Yang Ming saw Lu Wansong's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why the kung fu movies in his previous life quickly went from brilliant to downtrodden, this is also related to the fact that the directors who shoot kung fu movies are basically from martial arts and have low vision.

They shoot the theme of action directors, and there is always only one, and that is to fight!

After decades of filming, I still fight!

The audience was tired of watching, and they still slapped.

In his previous life, Yang Ming's favorite kung fu director, Xu Laowei alone, whether it is martial arts or action, often Xu Laowei can shoot a certain connotation, which can arouse the audience's thinking about life.

The same is true of the "Once Upon a Time" series, in the movie, Xu Laogai's critique of mechanical patriotism rendered by extreme national sentiments is violently attacked by the hands of fake Huang Feihong.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming began to take out the character of 'Thirteen Aunts'.

Studying in the UK, a new woman with a modern Western education, is very different from traditional Chinese women. She broke the boundaries of generations, boldly expressed her heart to Liu Changqing, and confided her love.

She brought Western material civilization such as cameras, suits, and steam engines, as well as advanced concepts such as industry, economy, and science into Liu Changqing's life, which gradually changed Liu Changqing's life and thoughts.

The thirteenth aunt, a symbol of modern industrial civilization in the West, and Liu Changqing, who represents traditional Chinese culture, collided in all aspects, and finally bloomed beautiful sparks.

Yang Ming also told himself that the significance of arranging this female number one is to use it as a metaphor for the collision, friction, exchange and integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

Lu Wansong looked at Yang Ming with an incredulous expression, his heart was already shocked by the young man opposite, he really didn't expect that he just wanted to make a kung fu movie, but after Yang Ming added a 'thirteen aunts', the style of the whole movie instantly became noble and noble, and his style increased dramatically.

Is this still a kung fu movie?

Or, can he make this type of kung fu movie?

Seeing the hesitation on Lu Wansong's face, Yang Ming seemed to guess the other party's thoughts, knocked on the table with his finger and said: "Wan Song, to be honest, through a few contacts, I feel that you are a person with ideas, and for the concept of film shooting, compared with your brothers, you are very aura and do not stick to the rules, if you shoot this "Liu Changqing" well, then you will find that the road ahead of you is unusually broad." ”

"Mr. Yang, I am confident that I will do a good job!" Lu Wansong gritted his teeth and said firmly, after so many years, he finally got this opportunity, even if he suffered a lot, even if it was a sea of swords and fires, he also came over.

He firmly believes that he will be able to make this movie well.

"Hmm. Yang Ming nodded.

He knew that it would be impossible for Lu Wansong to shoot the exact same style as Xu Laowei in his previous life, but he believed that as long as he could understand his requirements for him and arrange an experienced producer for him, for Lu Wansong, as long as this movie was made, it would be a phoenix nirvana and a new look.
