Chen Tianlang didn't expect this guy in front of him to be so arrogant, of course, if he wasn't arrogant, then he was bragging.

Chen Tianlang didn't break him either, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I heard that you make a good dish, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!"

Jiang Wei smiled, "You just don't believe me when you say that." ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that ...... Seeing is believing, isn't it?"

Jiang Wei nodded, "You're not wrong to say that." Seeing is believing, but for me, whether I make a movie or write TV, the most important thing is that the story must be good, the condiments must have a taste, and like stir-frying, it can mobilize the audience's emotions and master the heat. At the end, when it is served on the plate, it must be good-looking. These things can be said to be indispensable. ”

Chen Tianlang was stunned, is this talking about stir-frying, or is he talking about being a screenwriter?

"You don't believe it, my hometown is Shandong, my father is a projectionist, and I have followed him around to show movies since I was a child. In the summer in the fields of the countryside, in the squares of the city, in the trade unions of the factories, in the halls of enterprises...... "Railway Guerrilla", "Red Women's Army", "Shining Red Star", from the age of six to now, almost 20 years, I have watched almost all of the rest of my time! In recent years, I have watched "Red Sorghum", "Alive", and the very popular "Crazy", not including TV series. ”

Chen Tianlang nodded, no wonder Huang Keke said that he was suitable for being a screenwriter, it should be because he has watched so many films.

"In that case, then you should be very interested in the traditional eight model plays, right?"

"Aren't the eight model dramas "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Red Women's Army", "Shajiabang", "Harbor", "Red Lantern", "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "White-Haired Girl" and "Ode to the Dragon River". Jiang Wei talked about these things like treasures.

Chen Tianlang didn't dare to underestimate this thick-necked cook of the United Nations University anymore.

"That's right, it's just these dramas, what do you think of these movies?"

These plays used to be very beautiful and classic, but if you watch them now, it is estimated that few people, especially young people, will watch them. No way, times have changed, and anyone who still remembers these classics is about to be forgotten!"

"Is there a way to carry on these classics again?"

"It's not that there is no solution, and that is to do a good job of packaging. Same as my stir-fry, making a plate of braised tenderloin is very simple, everyone is tired of eating, just change the way of stir-frying, the main ingredient remains the same, or the tenderloin, but change the pattern, no need to braised it, come to steam, and then sprinkle some sweet and sour to become steamed sweet and sour loin, so that the color and flavor are complete, and it can be attractive!"

Chen Tianlang became more and more interested in this Jiang Wei, "What you said is too general, for example, now someone wants to remake "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", how do you say it should be filmed?"

""Outwitting Tiger Mountain"? Don't shoot this drama, especially the part where Yang Zirong fights the tiger, if it doesn't work, it will become Wu Song fighting the tiger. Jiang Wei joked, "Of course, the most important thing is that this drama is already in front of the pearl, and it is more famous than several other model dramas, so it will be more difficult to remake it." ”

"It's challenging when it's difficult, isn't it?"

"Are you using the agitation method?" Jiang Wei smiled, picked up the teacup and put it in front of Chen Tianlang, threw a red date into it, poured water and said: "Remaking this kind of scene is the same as making red date tea, you must know how to control the temperature." If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to burn the jujubes, and the temperature is too low to absorb the taste of the jujubes. ”

"It's still too general for you to say this, can you be specific?" Chen Tianlang picked up the jujube tea and took a sip.

"The specific point is simple, the first is to use idol stars for young people, who is the most popular now? The four kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Daoming in the mainland, Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen, Li Xuejian...... If you want to make something different, you must be entertaining, and what kind of entertainment film is the best? Hong Kong films! Why are Hong Kong films good? Jackie Chan can fight, Chow Yun-fat can gamble, and Andy Lau can be literary and martial! As long as "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is young and entertaining, the remake will definitely attract people!

Chen Tianlang looked at the "vulgar" looking cook in front of him in disbelief, if the reason why Chen Tianlang knew how to remake this "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was because he was a person from the past and knew the entire successful remake process of this drama. But this Jiang Wei is not, he is just a cook who likes to watch movies, and he actually knows how to adapt this play. Needless to say, this guy is a half-immortal, if not a genius.

"So if Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are hired to join this play, what role do you think they should play?"

Jiang Wei touched his chin, "If you invite them, I'm most afraid that they won't adapt to the soil, and if you can't make a serious red model show, it will turn into a nondescript comedy." So, it was necessary to find a role that suited them. Looking at the play "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", the actor Yang Zirong can't be played, not because they are afraid that they will not play well, but because it is better for us mainland actors to play the leading role in the co-production. ”

"Then who will play Yang Zirong in the mainland?"

"To be heroic, and reckless, I think the one with the same surname as me is Jiang Wen, which is very good!"

"Jiang Wen?" Chen Tianlang's eyes lit up.

"I have watched Jiang Wen's "Red Sorghum" no less than eight times, I think he is a rare character with tiger spirit among our mainland actors, this kind of tiger spirit is domineering when brought to the movie, and then turning into a hero is heroic!"

"I agree with this!" Chen Tianlang remembered Jiang Wen's domineering appearance in "Let the Bullets Fly", and only a mainland actor like him could shock actors-level figures like Ge You and Chow Yun-fat.

"By the way, you haven't said what role those Hong Kong and Taiwan actors should play. Chen Tianlang continued to ask.

"In addition to Yang Zirong, of course, the Eight King Kongs and Mountain Carvings of Weihu Mountain are the most brilliant, let them play these, anyway, Hong Kong actors are very dedicated, even if they talk about bandits, they may be able to give you an actor!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Haven't you seen it? Recently, an actor surnamed Huang in Hong Kong acted in a perverted tertiary film "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" and won the actor crown. ”

Chen Tianlang knows who Jiang Wei is talking about, and only a place like Hong Kong can produce such a miracle, let a third-level film actor win the actor, and let the supporting actor in "The True Color of Heroes" win the actor.

"Therefore, no matter which Hong Kong actor you choose to take over the filming of this drama and play the villain in it, it will be very reliable, and the professionalism of Hong Kong actors is much stronger than that of our mainland actors, of course, this is also the reason why the Hong Kong film industry is relatively developed. ”

Seeing Jiang Wei's analysis so incisive, Chen Tianlang couldn't help but continue to ask, "Now that there are mainland actors and Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, what about the director, should he choose a mainland director or a Hong Kong director?" This question is very important, and it is also Chen Tianlang's final assessment of Jiang Wei.

"This is very important, if we let mainland directors shoot eight or nine and will shoot traditional model dramas, it is not that our mainland directors are not talented, but because they grew up under the red flag and have been exposed to it, the essence of the model drama is deeply rooted and cannot be erased. On the contrary, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors may be better. The main purpose of their filming is to entertain the audience, and they will put entertainment in the first place, because if the movie is not entertaining, it will not sell well, and if it does not sell out, there will be no box office, and if there is no box office, they can only drink the northwest wind! It can be said that the reason why Hong Kong's film industry is so developed is because of this kind of box office as the coordinates, and the audience is God!

Chen Tianlang was completely impressed by this Jiang Wei, and there are very few people in the mainland who have such a bottom-up view of today's Hong Kong and Taiwan movies and Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment.

"So according to you, it's time to choose Hong Kong directors, so who do you think is the most suitable among Hong Kong directors?"

"Who's suitable? Jiang Wei was silent for a while and said, "Hong Kong directors have their own merits, and they also have their own types of films, such as the one named Liu Zhenwei who is good at comedy, the one named To Qifeng who is good at police and bandit films, and the one named Yuan Heping who is good at costume martial arts films." Like "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", there are majestic and many war scenes and action scenes, and in my opinion, there are only two people who can control this kind of scene. ”

"Which two people?" Chen Tianlang couldn't help but ask.

"The first one is John Woo who filmed "The True Color of Heroes"!"

"John Woo?"

"Yes! John Woo's violent aesthetics in shooting action movies is really exciting, especially the kind of grand explosions and gunfights are what he is best at, but he likes to put some of his habits into it when filming, which is not very good, such as releasing pigeons, and likes to shoot church scenes, which he imported from Western Hollywood, and now it is estimated that it has become a habit and cannot be changed. ”

Chen Tianlang and John Woo are indeed Hong Kong directors who can control big scenes, and it seems that he also filmed blockbusters such as "Wind Whisperer" and "Red Cliff" in his previous life.

After all, Hong Kong is a small place and has limited venues, so there are not many opportunities for Hong Kong directors to practice shooting big scenes, so this kind of weak ability to control big scenes has become a common problem for many Hong Kong directors now and in the future. So much so that in the future, when many Hong Kong directors go north to shoot "Hongmen Banquet", "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and filming large-scale historical films such as "Guan Yunchang", they will be a little stretched.

"And what about the second person, who is he?"

"The second one is Tsui Hark!" Jiang Wei said without hesitation. "What this Xu Lao Monster is best at is imagination, I really don't know how his head grows, and he can shoot movies like "Shu Mountain" and "New Dragon Gate Inn". I admire him very much, and it can be said that his imagination has reached many places that directors can't reach. Do you know what one of the scenes that impressed me the most about him? It was his early horror film "No Door to Hell", which filmed the horror scene of a person eating people into people's hearts, and now it makes people shudder when they think about the plot!"

Chen Tianlang was also very impressed by Tsui Hark's play, and felt that the play was simply the story of Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman", which was addicted to cannibalism and cannibalism.

"Therefore, imagination is endless, and it can control any big scene, not to mention a model play like "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", which needs those imaginative directors to reimagine and package!"

"Therefore---" Jiang Wei concluded, "If you really want to remake this drama, let the mainland director direct it, and if you want to grab the box office and have new ideas, you must have a Hong Kong director to direct it." ”

After listening to Jiang Wei's conclusion, Chen Tianlang couldn't help laughing, Tsui Hark, sure enough, it was Tsui Hark!

What does it mean to "see the same thing as a hero"?

That's it!

It's just that his hero has such a slight similarity because he has the golden finger of his previous life. And Jiang Wei is different, he relies on his extraordinary talent and strong love for movies.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Wei had just finished saying his opinion when he saw Chen Tianlang suddenly laughing, so he asked.

Chen Tianlang shook his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just ...... I just think I'm probably really ...... I'm going to ask you, the top chef, to be my screenwriter. ”

"Really?" Jiang Wei opened his eyes wide and winked at Chen Tianlang.

Chen Tianlang was a little weird by him, so he moved a little unnaturally, "If there are no special accidents, it should be." ”

After Jiang Wei heard this, he immediately jumped up and hugged Chen Tianlang fiercely in his arms across the table, "Great, great! Grandma's bear, Lao Tzu has finally waited for this day!"

Originally, when Jiang Wei hugged him, Chen Tianlang planned to dodge it, but Jiang Wei was too quick to hide his ears. So before Chen Tianlang could leave, he was held in his arms by Jiang Weixiong.

At this time, Chen Tianlang found that Jiang Wei was really a Shandong man, powerful, this bear hug almost made people feel suffocated by broken ribs.

Jiang Wei was so excited, so he pulled Chen Tianlang off the ground.

Therefore, the scene at that time was --- a man with a strong face and a thick neck, holding a man in his arms with excitement, the man's feet off the ground, and the sound of bones rattling all over his body.

Finally, after Jiang Wei's strength passed, his hands loosened a little, Chen Tianlang hurriedly supported the table with both hands, escaped from Jiang Wei's arms, and fell back into the chair.

At this time, Chen Tianlang exhaled a breath and touched his ribs in some pain, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the person he needed to recruit, he would definitely hit him in the head with a cannon punch just now and knock out the other party.

Seeing Chen Tianlang's appearance, Jiang Weihu asked with a grimace, "What's wrong......?" I'm suffocating you. ”

Chen Tianlang smiled a little reluctantly and waved his hand, "Your enthusiasm is indeed ...... It's really lethal. ”

Jiang Wei smiled innocently, "No way, you have only held back for a while, but I have held back for 20 years! People only know how to cook with me, and few people ask me to write scripts, you are the first!"

Chen Tianlang was dumbfounded, "What did you say, the first time? Didn't they say that you had been a screenwriter and were very famous?"

"Oh, that's what I braggated about on purpose! Otherwise, how could a Bole like you come?"

Hearing this, Chen Tianlang almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. <
