Chapter 1126: Zhongnanhai Bodyguard
Yu Hai, a martial arts coach in the mainland, is not only very famous in the martial arts circles in the mainland, but also has a certain reputation in some overseas kung fu circles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because in the fifties and sixties, he represented the national martial arts team, led the team to visit many countries, and also accompanied some national leaders to visit some countries.
And this script is based on some of the things he experienced at the beginning and some of the things he heard, which was mixed together by Li Lianjie and adapted.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to write a script!" Wu Cheng said with a smile while flipping through the script.
Li Lianjie said embarrassedly: "That, the person who wrote it is actually not me, and the name of the writer is on the script." I just told him the stories that Coach Yu told us when he was chatting with us, and then he wrote and adapted them. ā
Wu Cheng nodded and looked at the name of the writer, but unfortunately, this was a very unfamiliar name to him, and he never seemed to have an impression.
But this is also normal, in the mainland and Xiangjiang, there are countless screenwriters, not every screenwriter can be famous, and it is normal to not know. It's just that a screenwriter who can ask Li Lianjie to write for him has not yet been impressed, which is a bit surprising to him.
But he didn't think much about it, and continued to read the script, and it didn't take long for the script to finish.
After thinking about it, Wu Chengcai said: "The script is not good, but it can't be said to be bad." Obviously, the traces of forced integration inside are a bit obvious. ā
"He hadn't been a screenwriter before, he was a newspaper writer. Li Lianjie explained.
Wu Cheng nodded, no wonder he didn't feel the slightest familiarity with this name.
Then, he said: "Although there are some big scenes involved, after all, the plot involves some unfriendly aspects of our big brother's house next door, and our relationship with them is relatively cold during this period, but both sides are trying to ease this relationship......"
The background of this script is set in the big brother's house next door in the mainland, so he said so.
Li Lianjie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, because he didn't expect this at all.
Wu Cheng said again: "And seriously, the big brother's house next door in the mainland, the audience in North America may not like it." What's more, the era in the script is still in the fifties and sixties. This age is so far away that some people may be interested in this, but I believe that some young people will not be interested in it. If I were an audience, this kind of film would generally be skipped, especially when I was going on a date with my girlfriend, and I would definitely not choose this kind of film. ā
Li Lianjie listened, opened his mouth again, and was speechless again.
"In addition, the script involves arms and drugs, and the final scene is difficult to shoot on the spot with our current relationship with that side, which is also one of the problems. ā
After that, Wu Cheng asked a few more questions, and then Li Lianjie's confidence was gone.
Seeing Li Lianjie's wry expression, Wu Cheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be bitter, the story in this script is actually okay, just change the era and country." However, I still don't recommend you to make this movie, because it involves scene scheduling or something, and you need an experienced director who can control the big scenes. And such a big director is not easy to find. And the investment in this film will definitely not be less, and the future box office prospects are difficult to predict, and the risk is still relatively large. ā
"What if you made the scene smaller?" asked Li Lianjie.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "If there is no such big scene, as you said, it seems too childish, after all, there are very few emotional scenes involved, and they are basically fight scenes." ā
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, this story can be changed, for example, the era can be placed in modern times, and the protagonist is still a bodyguard type, which can be set as a Zhongnanhai bodyguard, which gives people a very mysterious and powerful feeling." And the region can be placed on the side of Xiangjiang, and the object of protection can also change from a national leader to a beauty. Do you think, if the audience sees this, will they think about what feelings will happen to this bodyguard and the object of protection?"
That's right, the story of Wu Cheng's flickering is the plot in "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard".
When Li Lianjie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "But in this way, this feeling seems to have changed completely! How can it sound a bit like an emotional drama, not an action drama!"
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's very simple, because of this modification, first, the risk is low, the investment does not need too much, and it is not difficult to recover the cost; second, it is easy to shoot, because the era is modern, so there is no need to run around to find special scenes, and there is no need to arrange any special venues; Third, although the story is simple, compared with the previous story, I think this story can attract young audiences more, you know, young audiences are the main body of the movie." ā
Wu Cheng thought for a while, and said: "Of course, you can also set the heroine as the daughter of the leader of a foreign country, and the leader of that country visits China, but the daughter wants to travel to Xiangjiang, and then as a bodyguard in Zhongnanhai, she is appointed by the top level to accompany and protect ......."
"You think, now that China and Lao Mei have established diplomatic relations, the president of Lao Mei came to visit our country last year, so it is completely possible to set this heroine as the daughter of an entourage in the visiting group! I believe that this kind of story will be somewhat interesting to the audience on Lao Mei's side. In particular, the conflict between the two cultural differences between China and the United States, the East and the West, will definitely have a lot of comedic effects. At the same time, it is also a good way to show Westerners the ideas of Eastern culture, don't you think, this is very worth trying?"
This has already been mentioned at the height of thought, so Li Lianjie naturally will no longer regard this story as a simple emotional drama between men and women.
However, it is not easy to express the conflict between the two cultures of the East and the West, and then show the Oriental culture to foreign audiences.
Of course, this "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" here, compared with the script of the original time and space "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", has been changed a bit beyond recognition by him.
Li Lianjie said embarrassedly: "I really hope that Brother Cheng can direct this movie himself!"
He believes that if this movie is directed by Wu Chenglai, maybe another movie like "Black Man" will come out. Moreover, directed by him, the box office is in Europe and the United States, and it is guaranteed that it will definitely be bigger. Because he has such box office appeal.
When Wu Cheng heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I can't, you know, I don't have that time." ā
Although I don't know what kind of itinerary Wu Cheng will have next, Wu Cheng doesn't have so much time, everyone will believe it, even if he is often lazy.
After a pause, he added: "Actually, I have a story about a killer, if you are interested, you can also use this story to show the difference between Eastern and Western cultures." ā
Li Lianjie smiled: "Okay, Brother Cheng, I know you have a lot of stories in your head, but don't tell them yet." I haven't finished digesting this story you just now, and I'm afraid that after I listen to another story for a while, I'll run the two stories together. I'd better think about this story first, and then find someone to write this script!"
Wu Cheng smiled, and did not continue to fool him, but changed the topic, "I heard that your senior sister went to North America to study media management?"
Li Lianjie scratched his head again, smiled a little innocently, and said, "She said, Sister Zhi told her that women must have their own careers." So at the suggestion of Sister Zhi, she went to learn media management, saying that if I wanted to set up my own company in the future, I could come back to manage the company for me, in fact, I think it would be good now......!
Speaking of which, Li Lianjie of the original time and space really had no ambition at first, but he was deceived and scared later, first Jiahe, and then Luo Dawei, the son of Luo Wei, and then he was just 'rescued' by Cai Zhiming, a new economic man from a dark background, and Cai Zhiming was shot.
It is precisely because of this that he has those resentments towards this circle, and then he simply set up his own company, become his own boss, and no longer sign contracts with those film companies.
However, now, in Wu Cheng's brokerage company, he has not encountered any problems. His agent will take care of almost all the problems for him, whether it is a film contract or an advertising contract.
Moreover, Tiancheng Agency's commission for artists is also very low, with his current S-level contract, the commission is only five percent, which is outrageously low among all brokerage companies. But on the contrary, this happened in Tiancheng Brokerage Company.
is also an S-level contract, in addition to Wu Cheng and Li Lianjie, there is also Zhou Runfa. As for the women around Wu Cheng, because of their special status, they are all S-level.
And like Shenglong and Hong Jinbao, they are only A-level.
Shenglong and Huang Baiming, although they have their own companies, their brokerage contracts are still placed in Tiancheng Brokerage Company. Most of their brokerage business is still managed by the brokers of Tiancheng Brokerage Company. Because the business management mechanism of Tiancheng Brokerage Company is very perfect, it is much better than finding someone to take care of those businesses for themselves.
Therefore, in Li Lianjie's view, there is no need to set up a company so troublesomely.
"I heard that you are already ready to talk about marriage?" Wu Cheng asked with a smile again.
Then Li Lianjie's face turned red, revealing a shy look.
His expression, in the eyes of outsiders, is estimated to be difficult to imagine.
Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Sister Zhi mentioned this matter to me, and asked me what gift I want to give you." By the way, is your date set?"
Li Lianjie coughed lightly and grinned: "I'm not ready to do a big deal, just choose a day to register!"
From this smile, it can be seen that there is affection between them in this time and space.
