Chapter 441 Self-pit: Debut is the peak

Lin Cheng thought for a while and said: ""Ip Man", let's shoot it with the original cast of "Slaying the Wolf", director Ye Weixin, starring Wu Jing, with "Slaying the Wolf" as the foundation, they should have cultivated enough tacit understanding by then." ”

Ye Weixin was originally the director of the original time and space "Slaying the Wolf" and "Ip Man" series of movies, Lin Cheng still has some confidence in him, but Wu Jing has only filmed the TV series "Tai Chi Grandmaster" now, and his acting skills can only be slowly trained by Ye Weixin.

However, kung fu movies don't need much superb acting skills, as long as they are beautiful enough to look good enough, from this point of view, Wu Jing and Zhen Bullet can be said to have their own merits, Zhen Bullet Wu Bullet is fierce and fierce, Wu Jing but Zhen Bullet is chic and elegant, and the style is between Li Lianjie and Zhen Bullet.

Zeng Zhiwei said: "Lin Sheng, in fact, I want to ask, when will you direct another movie, after the classic movie "Infernal Affairs", you haven't picked up the guide tube for half a year. ”

Lin Cheng smiled when he heard this: "Alas, the starting point of "Infernal Affairs" is too high, I don't dare to direct movies casually now, as long as it does not exceed the success of "Infernal Affairs", it is easy to be questioned and go downhill." If I don't have a particularly good script, I won't direct any more Chinese-language films, and my next play should be a Hollywood movie. ”

Lin Cheng also found himself, and the first movie he directed was the god film "Infernal Affairs", just like the god of forgetting words wrote a "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" as soon as he debuted, which truly explains what it means to debut that is the peak, and even if the pen makes progress, he will not be able to surpass the success of mortals, and he will definitely be dissed and eaten by others, saying that he is not as good as a year.

"Infernal Affairs" was the box office champion of the year, and the word-of-mouth was also so good that it exploded, Lin Cheng remembered that "Infernal Affairs" had a score of nine on Douban, and the number of evaluations exceeded 400,000, which was definitely the standard for god films.

So if Lin Cheng comes to direct Chinese films in the future, what film should he make to surpass the success of "Infernal Affairs"?

The answer is no, in the future, with the increase in ticket prices and the increase in the number of moviegoers, it will be easy to surpass the box office results of "Infernal Affairs", but it is completely impossible for word of mouth to surpass "Infernal Affairs".

Searching the Douban movie list, there is only one film that surpasses "Infernal Affairs" in terms of Chinese movie ratings and evaluations, and that is the classic god film "Farewell My Concubine" that Chen Shengli himself can't copy.

Lin Cheng really died, as soon as he made his debut to direct a god film like "Infernal Affairs", if he upgraded step by step from Qi training to Zhuji, Jindan, and Yuanying like the upgrade stream, first filmed the low-cost "Nightclub" and then "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and then filmed "Crazy Stone", then both film critics and movie audiences will think that Lin Cheng has broken through himself step by step.

It's a pity that there is no if, "Infernal Affairs" has been filmed, the box office has won the championship, and the awards will come one after another, then no matter what Chinese movies he directs in the future, it will be impossible for him to surpass "Infernal Affairs", and once the reputation is not good, it will be dissed downhill.

With Lin Cheng's face-cherishing character, he naturally won't give people a chance to slap his face, so "Infernal Affairs" is likely to be the last Chinese-language film he directed.

The pit he dug himself had to fill it with tears, Lin Cheng suffered by himself, and this suffering could not be humane to outsiders, which was really aggrieved.

"Directing a Hollywood movie?" Zeng Zhiwei heard that Lin Cheng's next play was a Hollywood movie, and immediately expressed his shock: "Could it be that a Hollywood film company sees your talent and wants to invite you to Hollywood to make a movie?"

No wonder Zeng Zhiwei made such a fuss, Hollywood is very sacred to Xiangjiang filmmakers, just like Tang Seng has to go to Tianzhu to learn from it even if he has to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, once Xiangjiang filmmakers have reached the peak in the industry, they will yearn to go to Hollywood for development, even if they can only play supporting roles or even play tricks in Hollywood.

And in recent years, with the success of Fang Shilong and Wu Baige in Hollywood, it has become an inevitable trend for top filmmakers in Hong Kong to enter Hollywood, and Li Lianjie, Chow Yun-fat, and Hong Jinbao have also landed in Hollywood in the past two years.

It's a pity that Hollywood is only interested in Chinese kung fu, and later with the entry of Yuan Heping, the world's first martial artist, into Hollywood, Xiangjiang's kung fu shooting techniques were learned by the American imperialists, and the Xiangjiang filmmakers who went to Hollywood for development were confused and had to move to the mainland.

Lin Cheng said with a smile: "Where can Hollywood film companies afford me? I have a film company in Hollywood, and I want to go to my own film company to make films." ”

Zeng Zhiwei exclaimed: "Lin Sheng is Lin Sheng, a big move, if the filmmakers in Xiangjiang know that you have a film company in Hollywood, they will definitely flock to Lin Sheng." ”

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said: "It's just a small company, and there is no way to distribute movies, and when I really go to Hollywood to develop, I still can't get rid of the fate of begging my grandfather to tell my grandmother." ”

Zeng Zhiwei said enviously: "That's also Fang Shilong, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Dafa, who just arrived in Hollywood, can only play supporting roles or villains, and it's much better." ”

……

sent Zeng Zhiwei away, and Lin Cheng, who seemed to have nothing to do, called the secretary Xiaomei in and played the temptation of a uniform in imitation of the Japanese country Aiwei film.

Secretary Xiaomei, formerly known as Kuang Limei, has been Lin Cheng's secretary since Lin Cheng acquired "Daily Express" last year, and is an old man who has been with Lin Cheng for a long time.

However, Lin Cheng didn't have much interest in Kuang Limei when she was single last year, but after getting married during the Chinese New Year this year, Lin Chengyi found out that she had an extra layer of young woman charm, plus Kuang Limei had always intended to hook up with him before, Lin Cheng, who had a trace of human attributes, did not let go of the mistake of killing, and gave her something.

However, Lin Cheng didn't have the idea of accepting her into the palace, and the other party didn't want to divorce her husband and live another life, the dog man and woman both knew that the two sides tacitly maintained the relationship between ticket friends, and they had nothing to do and had a shot, how fast.

Just as Lin Cheng and his secretary Xiaomei were fighting fiercely and were about to climb the highest peak, Lin Cheng's mobile phone rang "Ringing Ring".

Lin Cheng glanced at the mobile phone screen and found that it was a call from Liang Botao, so he had no choice but to cut off the battle with Xiaomei and answer the call.

As soon as the phone rang, Lin Cheng heard Liang Botao's excited voice, "Lin Sheng, it's a success! It's a success! We've made a successful acquisition!"

Lin Cheng was confused when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you have no beginning or end in your words? What was the success of the acquisition?"

Liang Botao said loudly: "It's ATV! We have successfully joined ATV!"
