"Yes, I met her two days ago, do you have something to do with her?" An Shuyi asked rhetorically.

Zhao Zhenghao nodded, "I wrote a new script, and I want to ask her to play a role." ”

An Shuyi was curious, "Your new script has been written, what is the story, and when are you going to start filming?"

"This story, adapted from the work of an old-school martial arts artist in the thirties and forties of the last century, is called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the filming time is still early, and the preparation time will be longer this time. For An Shuyi, Zhao Zhenghao has nothing to hide.

"Martial arts, do you want to make martial arts films?" Hearing Zhao Zhenghao's words, An Shuyi's curiosity became even greater.

Martial arts films are a unique film genre of Dragon Kingdom, and in terms of subject matter, they are similar to American Westerns.

In the middle of the last century, when the film market in the Dragon Kingdom Continent was not fully developed, martial arts films were once very popular in Xiangjiang, and the kung fu films and action movies derived from them are still an important part of the Dragon Kingdom film market, and several popular films emerge every year.

In a broad sense, Zhao Zhenghao's directorial debut "A Chinese Ghost Story" has some elements of martial arts films, and the big supporting role Yan Chixia in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a chivalrous man.

Judging from Zhao Zhenghao's directing style, he has never spent energy on the same type of film, although "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" have some magical elements, but the main type of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is love, and although "Journey to the West" also tells a touching love story, the main type is still comedy.

"Infernal Affairs" is a police film, and the difference between "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" is more obvious.

Moreover, "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs 2" were established and filmed at the same time, but Zhao Zhenghao only served as the director of "Infernal Affairs", and gave the guide tube of "Infernal Affairs 2" to Wang Yulan, the main reason for this is that although it is to realize Wang Yulan's dream of being a big-screen director, there is no reason why Zhao Zhenghao does not want to direct the same type of film repeatedly.

Prior to this, Zhao Zhenghao's fans have initiated many discussions, speculating about what the main genre of Zhao Zhenghao's fourth directorial work will be.

Now, An Shuyi personally confirmed from Zhao Zhenghao that Zhao Zhenghao's fourth directorial work is a martial arts film.

This result is unexpected.

said that it was unexpected, because martial arts films are still an independent genre in the current Dragon Kingdom film market, but in recent years, there have been no outstanding works, and they have long lost their original momentum.

It is reasonable and understandable that martial arts is an adult fairy tale, and everyone has a martial arts dream in their hearts, and Zhao Zhenghao will naturally be no exception.

When conditions permit, he makes a martial arts film and fulfills his martial arts dream, which is understandable.

With "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Journey to the West", and "Infernal Affairs", three classic works of fame and fortune in front, Zhao Zhenghao's fourth directorial work, even if there is Waterloo, will not have a heartbreaking impact on him.

Now Zhao Zhenghao's position in the Dragon Kingdom film circle has been quite stable, especially after "Infernal Affairs" won the "Best Film" and "Best Director" at the Golden Sheep Award and the Golden Dragon Award one after another, and in the upcoming 37th Magic City International Film Festival (Golden Goblet Award), it is also the favorite to win "Best Film" and "Best Director", Zhao Zhenghao has become the leader of the new generation of directors.

In the competition with Hu Zhenlong, Li Cheng, Jiang Wenchao, and other big directors of the older generation, Zhao Zhenghao did not fall behind in the slightest.

Moreover, even if Zhao Zhenghao falls a big heel in the fourth directorial work, there will be no film to direct, he has been affirmed by the three major film festivals in the Dragon Kingdom, and now he does not need to deliberately manage his contacts, and the follow-up directorial works can completely return to the mode of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and continue to play stand-alone.

With his popularity and box office appeal, as long as the quality of the films he directs is passable, there is basically no possibility of losing money, the difference is just to earn more and earn less.

For Zhao Zhenghao, who is already worth tens of billions, it no longer means anything to him to earn more or less in a movie.

Even if you lose money, you only need to release a few singles and everything will come back!

What's more, Zhao Zhenghao, who has decades of accumulation in the entertainment industry in his previous life to learn from, basically has no possibility of encountering Waterloo unless he dies.

The previous three directorial works have proved that Zhao Zhenghao's classic films that were tested by the market in his previous life can also be successful when he moves them to this world.

Classics, no matter where they are, are classics!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not very good at the box office in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, in the local market of Dragon Country, but that was because when it was released, the overall environment of the Dragon Country film market was still in a trough, and it had little to do with the quality of the film.

When it was released in North America, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" achieved a box office result of more than 100 million US dollars, and it was still the North American box office champion of Dragon Kingdom films before Zhao Zhenghao crossed over.

Not to mention that it is also the first Dragon Kingdom film to win the Oscar for "Best Foreign Language Film"!

All of this is doomed, Zhao Zhenghao moved it to this world, and there is basically no possibility of failure.

"Yes!" Faced with An Shuyi's curiosity, Zhao Zhenghao gave an affirmative reply.

"What about the script? I'll take a look at it first!" An Shuyi is here with Zhao Zhenghao, and he doesn't know what politeness is.

"Wait a minute. Zhao Zhenghao got up, went to the study to pick up the script that had been sorted out, and handed it to An Shuyi.

Yu Yabin also curiously came to An Shuyi's side and watched the script with her.

Yu Yabin knew that Zhao Zhenghao was writing a new movie script some time ago, but she was not interested in acting, and after having an experience in "Journey to the West", she determined her true heart - her main business in the future is still on music, as for acting, it is nothing to make occasional cameos in "Infernal Affairs", so she no longer seeks the role of the heroine.

Therefore, I didn't ask much about Zhao Zhenghao's new movie, but in the small talk, I knew Zhao Zhenghao's theme choice, but I didn't read the script.

Although Yu Yabin has no ambition for acting, he still has the basic ability to identify scripts, and An Shuyi's career focus in recent years has shifted to movies, and the level of script selection has improved a lot.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can win the Oscar "Best Foreign Language Film" award, which not only means that its overall film quality has reached a world-class level, but also a high-quality script.

Although An Shuyi and Yu Yabin are not very interested in martial arts films, they have no martial arts complex, and they are even more unheard of in the original work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but this does not affect their identification of the script.

The two main female characters in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, the character settings are not quite the same as Yu Yabin's own personality, Yu Xiulian's virtuous personality, although it is somewhat similar to Yu Yabin, but in the script, Yu Xiulian is in her early thirties, and there is a certain gap between Yu Yabin.

Moreover, Yu Xiulian is in the setting, although she is not the heroine of this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the character setting is not very outstanding.

In the limited capacity of the film, there is not much explanation of the past relationship between Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai, but the cause of Li Mubai's personality in the film is directly related to Yu Xiulian, it can be said that without Yu Xiulian, there would be no current Li Mubai.

Moreover, the emotional entanglement between Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai in the film, platonic love, is one of the main lines of this movie, which best represents the traditional spirit of the Dragon Kingdom and is the foundation of this film.

Therefore, the success of the character of Yu Xiulian has a crucial impact on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Yu Yabin thinks that her acting skills are not enough to support this character, so although she has some interest in her, it has not yet reached the level of excitement.

But An Shuyi, after reading the script, was very excited about the role of Yu Xiulian, although she had already guessed that Zhao Zhenghao asked her about Yi Ping's news before, and wanted to find Yi Ping to play Yu Xiulian, but she still decided to try to cut off a beard and asked Zhao Zhenghao for this role directly, "I want to play Yu Xiulian!"

An Shuyi has shifted her focus to movies in the past two years, and she has been honing her acting skills quite hard and has grown significantly, although there is still a gap with Yi Ping, but for the role of Yu Xiulian alone, she has the ability to hold up.

Zhao Zhenghao asked her about Yi Ping's whereabouts before, and it was indeed to ask her for her relationship and send an invitation to Yi Ping, but now An Shuyi wants to cut off Hu, Zhao Zhenghao thought about it for a while, gave up his previous thoughts, and nodded and agreed to An Shuyi's request.

Zhao Zhenghao and Yi Ping are just nodding friends now, he wanted Yi Ping to play Yu Xiulian before, but he just wanted "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to strive for excellence and shoot at the best level - from this point of view, the current first actress in the Dragon Kingdom is the first choice for all suitable roles.

However, the relationship between Zhao Zhenghao and An Shuyi is much closer than Yi Ping.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhenghao decided to cross over to the film industry, writing, directing and acting in a big-screen movie, except for himself, no one was optimistic about the prospects of that movie, and invited An Shuyi to be the heroine of that movie, An Shuyi didn't say a word, and didn't even read the script, so she agreed!

That kind of trust, that kind of affection, Zhao Zhenghao has always remembered in his heart.

Now, An Shuyi took the initiative to ask him for a role, not to mention that with An Shuyi's current ability, it is enough to support this role, even if he can't, Zhao Zhenghao has no possibility of refusing.

However, some things that should be said, Zhao Zhenghao said in front, "Sister, this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I plan to start filming in November this year, because it is a martial arts film, there are many fight scenes in the film, which involves many professional actions, I ask the actors participating in the filming, before starting filming, to receive at least three months of professional training!"

"Especially the role of Yu Xiulian, in the film, in a fight scene with Yu Jiaolong, several of the eighteen weapons were used one after another, which require long-term professional training, if you want to present the best shooting effect, sister, you have to pay more attention to this aspect!"

An Shuyi nodded, "No problem! I'll adjust the schedule when I go back, and before the film starts, I will have enough time to receive professional training." ”

Zhao Zhenghao has no doubts about An Shuyi's professionalism, since she agreed, she will do her best.

However, Zhao Zhenghao still has some doubts about this in his heart, because the big plan planned by him will be implemented in two days, if it goes well, after that, An Shuyi's life will enter a new stage, whether it will affect her future career development and schedule, it is still uncertain.

However, Zhao Zhenghao did not express these doubts and hid them in his heart for the time being.

Anyway, the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is just a plan, and there is plenty of time, even if there are any changes in the middle, temporary adjustments will be too late.

In the next few days, the focus of Zhao Zhenghao and An Shuyi's work is still on the recording of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", and the preparation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will not start until the recording of the qualifying competition is completed.

An Shuyi got her wish, when it came to the role of Yu Xiulian, in the next time, she couldn't even care about small talk, her mind was focused on studying the script, and even after waking up a little bit, when teasing her, she didn't put down the script in her hand.

After having dinner at Zhao Zhenghao's house, An Shuyi said goodbye and was sent back to the resort hotel.

The second stage of the promotion of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", that is, the duel assessment within the mentor team, is recorded for a total of four days, and the duel assessment of a mentor team is conducted every day.

The first day was recorded by Zhao Zhenghao's team, followed by the in-team assessment of Liu Runze's team and Ju Qinghao's team, and the confrontation assessment of An Shuyi's team, which was placed on the last day.

This stage of the recording, in the course of the day, is divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the morning recording, starting at nine o'clock, is scheduled for three hours, and is the first round, the part of the team members facing each other in pairs.

The solo singing part of the contestants who won the two-on-two duel was recorded in the afternoon.

Compared with the blind selection stage, the recording of this stage is much easier, and the four mentors only need to play soy sauce when recording the part of the other mentors' teams, and there is only one day of hard work.

The twelve players of his team, before this, have received many personal guidance from him, the selection and arrangement of songs during the duel, as well as the selection and arrangement of the personal singing part, Zhao Zhenghao has participated in the whole process.

Zhao Zhenghao, the mentor, can be said to be the most conscientious of the four mentors.
