As a Chinese G person who really likes movies, Xu Cun is very eager for Chinese films to have a place on the world stage!

Moreover, now that he has money, Xu Cun feels that he should have some higher-level pursuits - for example, fame!

If he can, Xu Cun also hopes that this 'name' is a real name, not a name theft.

Xu Cun knows better than anyone that "ET" is not a Chinese film at all, let alone a film of his Xu Cun - although "ET" was made by his hand, "ET" is a Spielberg film from beginning to end.

"Dao Ma Dan" is different - if "Dao Ma Dan" and "Farewell My Concubine" can be perfectly combined according to Xu Cun's vision, then "Dao Ma Dan" will be an authentic Chinese movie, even if it is not exactly his Xu Cun's movie.

Therefore, Xu Cun has high hopes for "Dao Ma Dan"!

Based on this high hope, when forming the crew of "Dao Ma Dan", Xu Cun thought about it for a long time.

After thinking about it all, Xu Cun first asked Cui Baozhu to help him find someone - Liu Xun.

Liu Xun began to study Peking Opera at the age of six and entered a class specializing in teaching Peking Opera, during which he was also taught by Li Wanchun, Shang Heyu, Zhang Dejun, Li Shaochun, Gai Zhaotian and other predecessors.

At the age of fourteen, Liu Xun performed abroad on behalf of the China G Art Troupe.

At the age of nineteen, after graduating from school, he was assigned to the Peking Opera Company of China and G and taught at the Peking Opera Company.

At the beginning of this year, Liu Xun moved to Hong Kong to work as a lecturer at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, where he was engaged in Cantonese opera research.

The reason why Xu Cun knows Liu Xun so well is mainly because some of the classic roles played by Liu Xun are deeply rooted in his heart. For example, the villain in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" leads the team leader eunuch Gu Jinfu, Huang Qiying in Li Lianjie's version of "Huang Feihong", and Jia Ting, one of the four stalls in Dongchang in "New Dragon Gate Inn".

In addition, Liu Xun is also the opera director in Tsui Hark's version of "Sword and Horse".

But-

Xu Cun didn't just ask him to be the opera director in "Dao Ma Dan".

Xu Cun is also ready to ask Liu Xun to go back to the mainland to help him find some people to come back.

These people are, Hu Weili, Zhang Manling and Shi Yansheng, Chen Kaige, Zhang Jinzhan, several professors who are familiar with the history of the Republic of China, and a group of costume designers and set designers who are familiar with history.

He was also the deputy concertmaster of the Heung Kong Pan Asia Symphony Orchestra, and composed scores for the Heung Kong Pan Asia Symphony Orchestra, the Heung Kong Chinese Orchestra, the Heung Kong Dance Orchestra, the Heung Kong Repertory Theatre, the Heung Kong Arts Association, the Taiwan Bend Symphony Orchestra, the Taiwan Bend Chinese Orchestra, and a large number of commercials and films.

It can be said that Hu Weili is a musical genius!

Xu Cun invited Hu Weili to come to Xiangjiang, not only to let Hu Weili, Huang Zhan, and Gu Jiaguang work together to score "Dao Ma Dan", but also to recruit this genius - otherwise, the current form is not suitable for Xu Cun to return to the mainland, Xu Cun must personally invite Hu Weili to come to Xiangjiang.

Although he couldn't go in person, Xu Cun still wrote a long letter of 2,000 words in person and asked Liu Xun to bring it to Hu Weili.

Zhang Manling is a famous drama artist, she has studied Tsing Yi, Hua Dan, Dao Ma Dan in the Chinese Opera School, and has been taught by Wang Yaoqing, Xiao Cuihua, Hua Huilin, Cheng Yujing and other famous masters.

Zhang Manling and her husband Shi Yansheng are also the Peking Opera instructors of "Farewell My Concubine", which is also the purpose of Xu Cun inviting them to Xiangjiang.

Needless to say, Brother Chen Kai is the director of "Farewell My Concubine".

Zhang Jinzhan wants to explain - he is the executive director of "Farewell My Concubine", and the brilliant results of "Farewell My Concubine" have a lot to do with him.

Xu Cun is going to get Chen Kaige and Zhang Jinzhan to be his assistant director, which can also be said to be a staff officer - although the current Chen Kaige and Zhang Jinzhan are both students who have not yet graduated, Xu Cun believes that they will definitely come in handy if they can shoot "Farewell My Concubine".

With Xu Cun's current fame, it is not difficult to find Chen Kaige and Zhang Jinzhan, the difficult thing is what excuse to use, and the difficult thing is how not to be involved in political events.

After thinking about it, Xu Cun decided to negotiate the conditions directly with the Beijing Film Academy - if the Beijing Film Academy agreed to Xu Cun's conditions, he would send the Beijing Film Academy two sets of the world's most advanced photography equipment (during the filming of "ET" in the United States, Xu Cun bought six sets of the most advanced photography equipment, two of which were left in DreamWorks (the United States G branch), and the other four were shipped back to Xiangjiang some time ago. ）。

The reason why professors who are familiar with the history of the Republic of China are invited to come is because Xu Cun is ready to let them help Xu Cun check - if you want "Dao Ma Dan" to achieve a good result, Xu Cun must respect history.

Finding costume designers and set designers who are familiar with the history of the Republic of China is the same as asking for professors who are familiar with the history of the Republic of China.

Whether "Farewell My Concubine" and "Dao Ma Dan" can be perfectly combined, Liu Xun's trip to the north this time is the key!

Xu Cun knows very well that if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse be full. Therefore, Xu Cun promised that as long as Liu Xun could get these things done, he would invest 5 million Hong Kong dollars to open an opera school with Liu Xun, give Liu Xun 30% of the shares, and appoint Liu Xun as the principal of the opera school.

The benefits given by Xu Cun are tantamount to pie in the sky for Liu Xun, who has only been in Xiangjiang from the mainland for a long time. In addition, what Xu Cun asked him to do was not too difficult to do. Therefore, the day after meeting Xu Cun, Liu Xun returned to the mainland with the office fee of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars given to him by Xu Cun.

In addition to letting Liu Xun go north to recruit people, Xu Cun also personally invited several talents from Xiangjiang.

Needless to say, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, there is also a talented writer Li Bihua.

Li Bihua is the original author of "Farewell My Concubine". In addition, she is also the author of "Qin Warriors" and "Rouge Buckle".

Xu Cun asked her to come back, just to ask her to help change the script of "Dao Ma Dan" - the original story of "Dao Ma Dan" is too rough, although Xu Cun has changed it again, but Xu Cun himself is not very good at designing delicate stories, so he invited Li Bihua, who is very good at writing spicy, poignant and sad stories and novels with a unique point of view, to supplement his shortcomings.

At this time, Li Bihua was only a primary school teacher and a freelance writer who had published several short stories, not the famous writer of the previous life. Therefore, the international director Xu Cun personally invited her to work together to create the script, and of course she would not refuse.

Of course, Li Bihua, who pursues freedom, happiness, and leisure, is still very literati-Xu Cun's original intention was to make the ending of "Dao Ma Dan" a big group member to cater to the audience, but Li Bihua insisted that the ending of "Dao Ma Dan" could not be too perfect. Even, Li Bihua also thinks that it is best to make the ending of "Sword and Horse" an unexpected tragedy.

The two argued many times, and in the end, Xu Cun and Li Bihua each gave a step......
