Chapter 266: Shocking
Yu Feihong is a native of Hangzhou, southern China, with a wealthy family, and his parents graduated from prestigious universities, but they are not engaged in literary and artistic work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She began to learn dance at the age of six, participated in film performances at the age of eight, became the heroine of a movie at the age of sixteen, and was later admitted to the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy.
After graduating four years later, he stayed on to teach because of his excellent grades, and the year was 1993.
Beijing Film Academy is the highest institution in the Chinese film industry, and those who can stay in school to teach after graduation are either backstage or academic tyrants, and Yu Feihong is obviously the latter.
Her life went very smoothly without any twists and turns.
But after only one year of teaching at film school, she quit her job and went to Los Angeles to study.
"I have no experience and lack of life, and the only thing I can teach my students is what the teacher taught me, and at most I can be a microphone. In addition, I wanted to learn English, so I went to the United States to study. Yu Feihong said.
In the eyes of others, this is a very capricious choice.
In China, the profession of a university teacher is both respected and well-paid, so she just gave up and gave up.
In 1994, Yu Feihong came to Los Angeles, and instead of studying the familiar film and television major, she took English courses.
In Los Angeles, there are various small circles of domestic international students, and everyone takes care of each other.
She heard from a friend that a domestic crew came to Hollywood to film, so she came over to take a look, she was not familiar with Lin Zixuan.
When Yu Feihong left China, Lin Zixuan was not well-known in the film circle, at that time, "Alive" was banned, "Sunny Days" had not yet won the award, and "Party A and Party B" had just started filming.
There is little overlap between the two sides.
Lin Zixuan brought the gang to the location of the crew, which was not a white residential area, and was surrounded by ethnic minorities, next to Mexicans and blacks.
Then take them to see the crew filming, these international students may not know other people, but they definitely know Ge You.
Ge You has a good temper, and he will chat with them and communicate with them between filming.
In the evening, Lin Zixuan invited them to a meal, which was not a very good place, it was a nearby Chinese restaurant.
The main reason is to reassure these people that we are not liars, but genuine crews, and he specifically mentioned the language communication difficulties faced by the crew, hoping that the international students can lend a helping hand.
Most people politely declined for reason, while others agreed out of curiosity or other reasons.
In this way, the crew gained several translators with extremely low salaries.
can't really not pay wages, Lin Zixuan is not so picky, it is not easy for everyone to live in a foreign country.
Under Feng Xiaogang's arrangement, these people quickly integrated into the crew.
Once, Lin Zixuan chatted with Yu Feihong.
"Xiao Yu, you studied acting in film school, didn't you think about continuing filming?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"It depends on whether there is a good script, and if there is a good script, I will take it." Yu Feihong responded.
Yu Feihong's work in the crew is not heavy, mainly responsible for the communication between Xu Fan and the American staff, her studies are relaxed, she has more free time, and she stays in the crew for a longer time.
It can be seen that she is very interested in filming, but she has not encountered the right opportunity and script.
There is a reason why Lin Zixuan asked this, the serialization of the novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on "Ancient and Modern Legends" is coming to an end.
This novel is known as the masterpiece of mainland martial arts by martial arts lovers.
This is related to the fact that there are no famous martial arts novels in China, and the emergence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fills this vacancy, which makes domestic martial arts novel lovers quite excited and proud.
In the past, everyone read martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan, although they were good-looking, they always felt that something was missing.
That is, there are no representative martial arts works in the mainland.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" does not blindly imitate the martial arts novels of Hong Kong and Taiwan, but is unique, integrating Beijing novels and romance novels to form its own unique style.
Not only men like to watch it, but even girls like to watch it.
Of course, this is all due to the impact on the world of popular fiction, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not been recognized by the mainstream media.
During the serialization of the novel, a publishing house negotiated with Lin Zixuan about the publication of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it was relatively easy for the publishing house to publish this kind of popular novel, and there was no need to take any risks.
"Ancient and Modern Legends" originally had more than 400,000 subscribers, but thanks to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it grew to more than 500,000.
The publisher initially estimated that as long as half of the readers bought the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" book, there would be 250,000 sales, which can be regarded as a bestseller, and they are definitely profitable.
What's more, Lin Zixuan has to write four other related novels.
At that time, the impact will not be as simple as one plus one equals two, and it may form a trend of mainland martial arts novels, which is why publishing houses will be interested in publishing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Publishing a book is only a step that Lin Zixuan expected, and he will also prepare for the filming of the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Naturally, you have to choose actors to shoot TV series, and if you want the TV series to be successful, it is very important to choose the right actors, if you let Ge You play the hero Li Mubai, it won't work.
Li Mubai wants to be elegant and magnanimous, and at the same time, he is very entangled in his heart, giving people a feeling that he can't let go.
Lin Zixuan's first choice is Chen Daoming, he has already handed over the novel to Chen Daoming, and the script has not come out yet.
Chen Daoming is very cautious in taking on the play, although everyone is friends, but if it is not suitable, he will not accept it, and he, like Jiang Wen, likes to change the play, and it is difficult to serve.
In addition to Chen Daoming, Lin Zixuan has several alternatives, but relatively speaking, he thinks Chen Daoming is more suitable.
When he saw Yu Feihong this time, he felt that he had found another actor.
Yu Feihong has a classical face, with the demure of a Jiangnan woman, beautiful and tasteful, the ancient costume will be quite amazing, plus her temperament is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, very assertive, which is very in line with the role of Yu Xiulian.
Besides, she studied acting, and she also taught at the film academy, so she can be a teacher, so there must be no problem with acting experience.
In China, there are really not many actresses who appear photogenic in ancient costumes, but they are not available, but if she is not interested in TV series or martial arts dramas, Lin Zixuan will not force it, everyone has their own ideas.
"Can you catch the TV series? Martial arts dramas? Lin Zixuan said tentatively.
"Let's read the script first." Yu Feihong did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll send you the script when I get back home." Lin Zixuan nodded.
The preparations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have not yet begun, and he is not in a hurry, this time he is ready to co-produce with the art center to bring a martial arts style to the domestic TV drama market. (To be continued.) )
