An Shuyi couldn't play Yu Xiulian anymore, and immediately recommended a more suitable candidate to Zhao Zhenghao.

In fact, this is also the first choice in Zhao Zhenghao's heart to play Yu Xiulian.

After Zhao Zhenghao completed the creation of the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he assumed the best candidates for several main roles in the script, and in the role of Yu Xiulian, the first in line was not An Shuyi, but Yi Ping.

Zhao Zhenghao originally wanted to contact Yi Ping through An Shuyi to see if she could play this role, but he didn't expect An Shuyi to directly ask to play Yu Xiulian after reading the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Although this request disrupted Zhao Zhenghao's established plan, Zhao Zhenghao did not refuse and would not refuse.

Although An Shuyi is not the first choice to play Yu Xiulian in Zhao Zhenghao's mind, with her ability, it is not much difficult to win this role.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is actually the heroine, it is Yu Jiaolong, the hero and heroine in the original work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, can only be regarded as the second male and female protagonists.

The capacity of the movie is limited, even if it is the protagonist, they can't tell their story in all aspects, and some trade-offs need to be made.

The original version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the actual first heroine, is Yu Jiaolong, and the actual first actor is Li Mubai, the two characters Luo Xiaohu and Yu Xiulian, the roles have been relatively largely deleted, although the name of the protagonist is still hung, in fact, it can only be regarded as a big supporting role.

Therefore, in the movie, the space left for the actor who plays Yu Xiulian is actually not very large, and Yu Xiulian's character is not as flamboyant, distinctive, and introverted as Yu Jiaolong, and it is not difficult to perform colorfully, and it is not difficult to perform it in a big way.

If Yi Ping plays Yu Xiulian, even if Zhao Zhenghao does not demand her with the highest standards, she will demand herself with the highest standards.

When An Shuyi was acting in the past two years, although she was also demanding herself with the highest standards as much as possible, she was limited by talent, and there was still a gap between her acting skills and her real appearance.

These gaps, for the current An Shuyi, are not tiptoeing, or jumping, and working hard to make up for them, they need to be slowly precipitated, looking forward to one day, Daigo empowerment, and suddenly realized.

Zhao Zhenghao has nothing to help her in this regard, and she can only overcome this hurdle by herself.

Now, there is no point in talking about these anymore, An Shuyi can no longer play Yu Xiulian due to personal reasons, and Zhao Zhenghao's original plan can be implemented.

Yi Ping didn't see the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and only listened to An Shuyi's recommendation, and her interest in acting was not very great.

Her thoughts are the same as Xiang Yazhen before, and she doesn't think that Zhao Zhenghao's movies can have deep ideological connotations - even "Infernal Affairs", which has been unanimously recognized by the industry, Yi Ping is not too eye-catching.

In the view of Yi Ping, whose literary virus has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, the so-called fatalistic concept in "Infernal Affairs" is just a disease-free moan, compared to what she thinks, a real literary film that should profoundly reveal social problems or human nature problems, is just scratching the itch in the boots.

In Yi Ping's view, the biggest reason why "Infernal Affairs" was able to sweep the "best film" of the three major film awards ceremonies in Dragon Kingdom is not its profound ideological connotation, but the new single-film box office record in the history of Dragon Kingdom films it created!

Yi Ping doesn't have much opinion on Zhao Zhenghao winning the Golden Goat Award and the Golden Dragon Award for winning the Golden Goat Award and the Golden Dragon Award for "Infernal Affairs", as well as the double actor of the Golden Goblet Award and the Golden Goblet Award.

Zhao Zhenghao can make a film like "Infernal Affairs" at the age of 30, which is enough to prove his directing skills.

is also an actor, Yi Ping has nothing to say about Zhao Zhenghao's superb acting skills in "Infernal Affairs".

Her opinion on "Infernal Affairs" is just a matter of facts, and nothing else is involved.

Zhao Zhenghao's personal opinion is also due to the herd mentality - Zhao Zhenghao is a big director of commercial films in the eyes of the public, and he can take into account artistry while achieving commercial success, which is his awesomeness, but he cannot be given the title of "master of art films" because of this.

With Yi Ping's current status, when choosing a script, the first thing to consider is no longer the cooperating director and actors, nor the theme and type of the film.

Yi Ping, who is already standing at the top of the pyramid of actresses in the Dragon Kingdom movie, is no longer only obsessed with the artistry of the film when choosing the script, as long as the story fits her eyes, the character setting can give her a sense of freshness and please her, even if it is a commercial script, she will accept it.

The main reason why I am not interested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is that I heard An Shuyi say that this is a martial arts film!

Martial arts films! This type of film is almost an artistic insulator!

Even if it is a new-school martial arts that has been instilled into the concept of "for the country and the people", it is adapted into a movie, and it is basically not related to artistry, not to mention that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still adapted from a little-known old-school martial arts, and only ghosts can be changed to change the ideological connotation!

The impression of ordinary audiences on martial arts films only stays at the level of swords, swords, and walls, who would want to see any ideological connotation in martial arts films?

Yi Ping herself doesn't have any martial arts complex, so as soon as she heard An Shuyi's recommendation, her first reaction was to refuse.

However, I really couldn't resist An Shuyi's repeated requests, and reluctantly agreed to take a look at the script.

After reading the script, Yi Ping's view of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has undergone a fundamental change - I never expected that the screenwriter would really play some flowers in this movie, so that the martial arts film with empty ideas in the public's impression has a somewhat heavy connotation that is very consistent with the traditional concept of the Dragon Kingdom.

In the script, there is not much ink on the character of Yu Xiulian, but with a few strokes, she portrays a female image with the traditional virtues of the Dragon Kingdom.

Although after entering the 21st century, young people who grew up in the information age have shown a relaxed and even abandoned trend in terms of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality", but the older generation of Yi Ping is still deeply influenced by these ideas.

In the eyes of today's young people, Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, who are trapped in the concept of "friends and wives cannot be bullied", are full of slots.

Don't say that in the movie, Yu Xiulian's fiancé has already passed away, in the eyes of today's young people, even if Yu Xiulian's fiancé is not dead and has married Yu Xiulian, Li Mubai's martial arts are so high, he can also snatch Yu Xiulian over!

Obviously, Lang has the intention of having a concubine, but in fact, there is no obstacle to the union, but because of the worthless so-called moral concept, it is difficult for a lover to become a family.

Such traditional morality, in the eyes of today's young people, should be swept away and abandoned!

However, in Yi Ping's view, although such traditional morality should also change with the changes of the times and according to the actual situation, the basic points need to be firmly maintained and passed on from generation to generation!

Moreover, in Yi Ping's view, in the movie, Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai are in love with each other, but they maintain the necessary restraint, and platonic love also has its beauty and wonderfulness.

The current little young is like that, just for the love of @ bed, the feelings that go to the kidneys and not the heart, are the dross and should be spurned!

All in all, the role of Yu Xiulian is very much in line with Yi Ping's appetite, and on her own side, there is no longer any obstacle to the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After Yi Ping communicated with An Shuyi, she began to go through formal channels and asked her agent to come forward and negotiate her signing with "Zhenghao Studio".

Yi Ping's agent Wei Li, after reading the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", originally had the intention of fighting for the role of Yu Xiulian for her, but she gave up when she learned that this role had been given to An Shuyi.

When the status reaches the position of Yi Ping, the dependence on the agent is minimal, and many things are decided by themselves.

The reason why he is still signed under Wei Li is that Yi Ping misses the old days, and Gu Nian and Wei Li have cooperated for nearly 20 years;

Min Lan is the only one of the three divas who has not built an independent studio, and the brokerage contract is still signed in the music company that pushed her debut.

The relationship between Min Lan and the company is mutually beneficial.

Yu Yabin has never been willing to go it alone, if it weren't for getting together with Zhao Zhenghao, after the expiration of the first contract. Among the three people in Y, the person who is most likely to renew the contract with "Nine Star Entertainment".

Now that she has become the proprietress of "Zhenghao Studio", it is naturally unnecessary to go out independently.

Yi Ping is the same, although as early as ten years ago, when she won the first Dragon Kingdom Three Major Film Awards Queens Trophy, her status in the circle had been established, and she had the capital to work independently and independently, but because she missed her old feelings and was afraid of trouble, she never had such an idea.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wei Li has never treated and exploited her, Wei Li, who has both emotional intelligence and skill, after Yi Ping became famous, there was no move to kill chickens and take eggs, quick success, everything about Yi Ping was discussed with Yi Ping, and the script she received had to be nodded by Yi Ping herself.

The feeling for Yi Ping is better than going out on her own, and it naturally envelops Yi Ping's heart firmly.

Wei Li has already dealt with Xiang Yazhen's contract, and this time she negotiated with "Zhenghao Studio" on Yi Ping's signing, and there were no accidents.

Yi Ping's status in the circle, although it is not Xiang Yazhen who can talk about the same day, but when Wei Li negotiated with the "Zhenghao Studio", her attitude did not change from before, and the conditions put forward were quite consistent with Yi Ping's status, and there was nothing too harsh.

In addition to the title of "all high-quality products", "Zhenghao Studio" now has a well-known place, which is generous!

Be generous to its artists, generous to studio employees, and equally generous to partners!

Especially in terms of movies, since the previous works were all projects helmed by Zhao Zhenghao, the big boss of the studio, the budget was sufficient, only left, and there was never such a thing as "not enough".

The budget is sufficient, and in terms of actors' salaries, there is naturally no deduction.

In the previous few movies, the remuneration offered by "Zhenghao Studio" to the actors it cooperated with was given according to the highest standards of the market, and the box office exploded after the movie was released, and there will be red envelopes afterwards.

Some small supporting roles with low salaries, the red envelopes they got afterwards can be compared with the previous salaries.

This attitude of "everyone earns money, everyone spends money" makes "Zhenghao Studio" the most popular company in the circle, and everyone wants to cooperate with it.

Here in Yi Ping, although she has learned from An Shuyi that she is bound to win the role of Yu Xiulian, "Zhenghao Studio" did not take advantage of this, and all the conditions proposed by Wei Li, as long as they are not excessive, all agree to it.

When Wei Li left the "Zhenghao Studio", she was smiling, obviously very satisfied with the outcome of the consultation.

After Yi Ping signed the performance contract, she immediately devoted herself to the preliminary preparation of the film, and like Zhao Zhenghao, Xiang Yazhen, and Xie Xin, they were all equipped with martial arts guidance.

For the needs of the plot, Yi Ping's martial arts guidance is more than one!

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there is a scene in which Yu Xiulian flexibly uses eighteen weapons to fight with Yu Jiaolong, who is holding the sword of the green underworld.

The "eighteen kinds of weapons" mentioned here are not imaginary fingers, but real eighteen kinds of weapons...... Even if there are not eighteen, there are ten!

In order to make this scene the best effect, Yi Ping needs to master the use of eighteen weapons under the guidance of a professional martial arts coach.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, sticks, sticks, sticks, abductors, meteor hammers, these eighteen kinds of weapons, the usage is different, although ordinary audiences can't tell the difference, but Zhao Zhenghao, who is very professional, doesn't shoot, and he has to shoot professionally.

The "professional" here refers not only to the ordinary audience not to see the flaws, but to let the professionals not find any faults!

Yi Ping has never filmed an action scene before, and she doesn't know anything about these eighteen weapons, every weapon has to be learned all over again, and the task of learning and practicing is the heaviest of the four leading actors.

Fortunately, the start date of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been determined, and Yi Ping can't affect the filming plan of the entire crew because of herself, otherwise with her character, she can't wait to go to a professional martial arts team and practice hard for a year and a half.
