That's right, the new script prepared by Li Xu is the famous work of Christopher Nolan in another time and space. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He had told Isabel before that he was going to take a film to the Cannes Film Festival, and this was what came to mind.

It's easy to shoot, it looks brain-burning, and it's high enough, and the most important thing is that moving to this era, moving to Hong Kong, there is no difficulty at all, at most some minor repairs.

As for whether the Hong Kong audience understands it or not, it doesn't matter, and it's not filmed for them.

So after talking to Isabel, he called Hong Kong, found a screenwriter who had done this before, and faxed his idea over.

Of course, it is a completely one-by-one analysis of the idea and outline, not the kind of thing that is in the clouds. The action over there was also very fast, and before he went to the mainland, he took a first draft and exchanged some opinions, and now the script in his hand is the third draft.

Although he was still a little dissatisfied, it was basically the same, so Li Xu took this opportunity to show Wang Jing something. He really hopes that Wang Jing will direct, and he thought about it when he was in Cannes last year, making Wang Fatzi a dual director of literature and commerce.

Do you think, when you have a puppet in your hand, do you want him to do all kinds of things you want to do?

"After all, you've helped me make a movie, or you're working on it. Li Xu smiled, "You are more familiar with my character and know my requirements." And I found someone in Hollywood to estimate, if it was they to produce, it would take about 25 days, and if it was changed to Hong Kong, it should be no problem to shorten the time by one-third. ”

This is something that did happen, and it took Nolan 25 days to shoot "Memory Fragments" "originally", and it was still when the funds were not very abundant.

With the efficiency of Hong Kong people, let alone a third, if you don't care about quality, they may be able to do it in seven days.

"Of course, if you don't have the time and energy for the time being, I won't force it," Li Xu changed his words again, "But I need you to recommend a director, at least a director who can know what I want like you." I don't want someone to take my money and take the picture they want to make, and then I'll make him regret coming into this world. ”

Although his tone was flat, Wang Jing twisted his body uneasily, and then said, "Mr. Li, can you give me a little time to think about it." ”

"Yes," Li Xu nodded, "But you'd better hurry up, I'm going back to the United States soon, and there is still something going on over there." In addition, the deadline for entries in Cannes is March 10 every year, and although I can communicate with Jacob, the selection director, it is unlikely that it will be delayed too long. ”

As he spoke, he touched his chin again: "I think so, let's find a way to get a jury award." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing's eyes immediately widened and his throat twitched, but he still didn't speak.

Then, Li Qi walked in from outside: "Boss, I brought the copy." ”

"That's right, Ah Jing, take it upstairs to the living room and install it, and the camera player is on it. Li Xu interrupted the topic and said.

"No problem. Wang Jing hurriedly got up, didn't want to worry about Cannes for the time being, took the copy of the movie in Li Wei's hand, and went upstairs first.

Then Li Xu picked up the script, handed it to Zhong Yihong, and then took her upstairs together: "Ah Hong, you can take a look first, although it has not been finalized yet, but it doesn't hurt to figure it out in advance, this role is more difficult than "50 First Loves". ”

"Okay. Zhong Yihong nodded obediently, and did not refuse again this time.

If there is a Cannes foundation, wait for next year's "Film Fortnightly" to hold the Academy Awards, and with a little operation, there will probably be nothing to do with Lin Biqi for Best Actress.

Well, even with the support of Li Xu's film fund, Mai Dangxiong and Li Dawei's "Pretty Girl" still took a long time to prepare and shoot after looking for people everywhere in Hong Kong.

And the actors basically haven't changed, it's still those chicks, Li Xu doesn't know how to complain, Hong Kong is not small, is it only they who can act?

Of course, he has no interest in Lin Biqi, this kind of self-centered little girl has to be "trained" in Japan before she can use it well, and it is better to find something else if you have that kung fu, Wen Bixia is not bad.

However, after sitting down and looking at the copy he brought, he regretted it a little, Zhong Yihong acted very well.

Li Wei took back two copies, both of which were specially edited out under the supervision of Wang Jing, and the clips about "50 First Loves" were used to show the big boss the finished product.

The film was shot five days before Christmas last year, and so far, the first cut has been successfully completed, and the rest is a montage and a soundtrack.

But the winter vacation is relatively short, and Li Xu's schedule this time is relatively tight, and he spends most of his time in the mainland, so he asked Wang Jing on the phone if he could edit out two clips for himself to see.

Wang Jing agreed as soon as he pouted, patted his chest and said that it was no problem, Li Xu was very strange at first, and then he reacted, he deliberately asked him to find a few extras at random, shoot a few paragraphs and then edit them out, he just needs to do it again according to that.

Sure enough, what I saw this time, in addition to the quick cut at the beginning to introduce the male protagonist, is the scene where the hero and heroine meet.

I have to say that Wang Jing does shoot women, Zhong Yihong's smile when she appeared on the stage was very infectious, innocent and playful, the lighting, composition and cutting were in place, which was both impressive and full of aftertaste.

Zhong Yihong's performance is also outstanding, a few small actions to outline the character's simple cuteness, I don't know how tall Drew Barrymore is - well, consider that Drew was almost 30 years old when he made that movie.

To be honest, if the whole movie guarantees such quality, without the exaggerated and false shouting that Hong Kong films have always had, and the details are blurred, this movie is enough for the Academy Awards, which has just been held, to seriously consider it.

However, after thinking about it a little, Li Xu left this idea behind. In another time and space, if you want to say that Zhong Yihong's most regrettable thing is that in addition to her love life, it is probably honor.

has been making movies for more than ten years, although there have been several nominations, not to mention that it is a Golden Horse Award with a good gold content, and even Hong Kong people have not won a single Academy Award for playing by themselves behind closed doors, only two consolation awards at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

Although Zhong Yihong is quite open-minded, otherwise he would not be able to smile so charmingly decades later, but it is definitely impossible to say that he doesn't miss it in his heart.

After all, among Xia Yufanghong, she has the least sense of existence in the honor area, and even Lin Qingxia has a trophy of the Golden Horse Award.

So with Li Xu's bad taste, not to mention the trophy for her, but it's still okay to get a few back and decorate the façade.

"I think it's very good, what about you?" After the screening, Li Xu asked the four women other than Wang Jing.

In addition to Zhong Yihong and Li Wei, when the play started, he asked Li Wei to call the other two who were also in the room.

"Qingxia, you said it first. Li Xu took the lead in looking at Lin Qingxia.

"I think it's okay," Lin Qingxia shrugged, looking indifferent, "Ah Hong did a good job, and Ah Jing's director did a great job." ”

Despite this, Li Xu still heard the little dissatisfaction in his tone, but he chuckled secretly.

Even if he hasn't watched the just-released "I Love Nightshade", he can recall the version of another time and space in his mind, and if the storyline is aside, it can't be said that "50 First Loves" comprehensively crushes "I Love Nightshade" - after all, there are many things that are limited by technology - but it is absolutely no problem to say that it is more than one step higher in all aspects.

Therefore, Lin Qingxia's dissatisfaction is understandable, and this also shows that she is actually used to the current way of getting along in her heart.

"Sally, what about you?" Li Xu smiled slightly and looked at Ye Qianwen again.

"I think it's OK too," Ye Qianwen nodded violently, and smiled at Zhong Yihong again, "Ah Hong's performance is also OK, I like it." ”

Li Xuqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, you just talk in English and Cantonese, why are you so excited to say "like"? Do you still want to make a pair with her? I just asked you to change your posture, and I didn't let you change to this extent, right?

"Nina, it's your turn. Li Xu was too lazy to say, and raised his chin to Li Wei.

"I think it's good, I'd love to see the next episode, the boss is amazing. Li Yu said with a smile.

This straightforward sycophant made the other three women look at it more, and their expressions were more or less strange, even if Li Xu didn't say it, they were somewhat aware that this female secretary was only afraid that he had eaten it in her mouth.

So there are few people in the family who treat her, after all, the female secretary can hang in front of Li Xu every day, who knows if she will say anything gossip - the women are quite grouped - which is why Li Xu arranged Li Wei to live elsewhere.

Li Wei also has some brains, knows that his position is sensitive, and he has been in and out of the Diaoyutai several times, and he is very aware of the huge energy of the boss, so he keeps his mouth closed, and he just uses his body to please the boss, and he has performed well so far.

"Okay, it's you at the end, Ah Hong. Li Xu put Zhong Yihong at the end.

"I think it's okay, but there are too few clips and the soundtrack isn't made. Zhong Yihong replied decently.

"Okay, so be it. Li Xu smiled and waved his hand, and then looked at Wang Jing, who had entered the state of eye-nose-nose-nose and mind-to-heart early.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Jing, take this back, and get the rest done as soon as possible, so that I can let Sir Shao arrange the theater." He said.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll go first. Wang Jingru was granted amnesty, "I will give you an answer tomorrow afternoon at the latest." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. Li Xu nodded.

And then...... Then he was ready to go back to the United States, although there were still many things here, such as Xu Ketuo Lin Qingxia talking, and he wanted to ask Li Xu for advice with a very low attitude. And Shaw Brothers and Jiahe also passed on the news through acquaintances, hoping to invite Li Xu to enjoy the cocktail party they held. In addition, Star TV's first Miss Asia beauty pageant final is about to begin, and I hope he can go and see it.

But Li Xu has to go back, Lin Fengjiao is about to give birth, why do you have to accompany him?

But there's one more thing to confirm before that.
