Xu Teng is used to mixing in Yangtze River Academy, anyway, this is his territory, and he has always played as he pleases, but he is not too snub to an international director like Li An.

first accompanied Li An to visit the Yangtze River Film and Television Center, and invited Li An and Tan Yu to dine in the school's staff canteen.

Li An is still a little uncomfortable, I don't know where Xu Teng got so many young beauties, Tan Yu is used to it, this school is sick, and there are so many beauties around Xu Ling.

Calm down, just calm down.

Tan Yu signaled Li An with his eyes not to be surprised, this Xiao Xu's life is like this, it is incredible.

Li An couldn't be calm, he found that Xu Teng had changed another personality, mature and steady, with a warm and kind smile, and there were really some school leaders and great writers.

After drinking two glasses of red wine, Li An could only sigh in his heart, it is a pity that Xu Teng does not want to be an actor, among ordinary people and peers, there is basically no better actor than this child.

This is a wizard.

Li An really thinks that Xu Teng is simply the reappearance of the big deception of the century in the United States in the 60s, Frank Abanale, who began to crisscross the states of the United States at the age of ten, deceiving people everywhere, pilots, actors, doctors, university professors, lawyers, all kinds of roles have been played.★↙

The banquet dispersed, and Li An had his own driver and went back to the hotel.

Xu Teng had to go back to the company every day to take a look at the situation, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep, but he slept until the third watch in the middle of the night, and suddenly received a call from Li An.

At this moment, Xu Teng really felt that the international director was sick. The other party has a time difference problem, and he can't sleep at night, which is understandable, he has no jet lag problem, and he sleeps at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Hey. Director Li, what's the matter?" Xu Teng was weak, almost lying on the ** and pretending to be dead.

"I quit the contract of "The Incredible Hulk" from Universal Pictures and took over the contract of "Terminator 3", which is a Warner movie, and I have two conditions, one is to ask you to be the screenwriter, don't worry, I know you are busy. So, let's write the script together, you can just say your story idea, and second, please play the villain. Li An returned to the hotel and thought about it for a long time, although he really felt that Xu Teng was a little mentally ill, but it also fascinated him, and he didn't even need to test the film, his experience told him. This is the most classic villain, the bastard of bastards.

"It's an exaggerated feeling. Director Li, how many drinks did you drink at night?" Xu Teng felt that Director Li was drunk, otherwise he would have sleepwalking, and he didn't know who to call at night.

"I'm getting ready to go to your school for an interview right now. Li An was very calm, he could understand Xu Teng's mood, and it was him. I must also feel that the director is sick in the brain.

In 1996, when Li An was preparing to film "Ice Storm", the funds were limited, so he could only audition young actors and select three young actors with basically no acting experience. Among them, Christina Richie later starred in "Ghost Pony Elf", Elijah Wood was the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings", and Tobey Maguire starred in "Once Upon a Time" a few years later, and is now the star of "Spider-Man".

Li An has this special judgment, he knows that Xu Teng is an extremely special actor, an actor who can be very weird, can be absurd, can be very serious, can be elegant, can be crazy, can play a qiē role, and has amazing explosiveness and dramatic tension.

"No, I eat with my face, I really want to sleep in the beauty of the skin. Xu Teng didn't think about it, hung up the phone, and continued to sleep.

Five minutes later.

"Grass!" Xu Teng suddenly sat up from the **, and found that he was sick, if he went to play the villain, wouldn't he be able to fight Arnoswassinger alone, grass, how could he refuse?

He hurriedly called Li An, but the battle line still occupied more than ten minutes, and he had no choice but to continue sleeping.

I really couldn't sleep this time.

Fortunately, Li An called again, "I've already arrived at your school, and the security guard won't let my car enter the school." ”

"Dizzy, our school's security guards are too dutiful, I'll pick you up. Xu Teng jumped off the ** directly and went to pick up Director Li An, wondering in his heart whether he should beat up the security guard and almost delay his big event.

The school was quieter at night, and there was nowhere to go, so Xu Teng took Li An to the office again.

The first two parts of the "Terminator" series were Cameron alone from editor to director, and in the third part, Cameron also had an original script, but he was not very satisfied and did not want to shoot it again.

Li An read this original script, and was equally dissatisfied and unwilling to take over.

The two talked about it all the time at seven o'clock in the morning, and finally had a new initial script, which was quite different from the original script, and Xu Teng was really good at this.

To be precise, a reader who has read online articles for more than ten years has a relatively large brain hole.

In other words, he arranged a series of very cool bull fork skills for himself, he, a supervillain, can create new machines, and his personality style is similar to the clown in "Batman", which seems absurd, and has very cool dance skills, controlling all kinds of machines to hunt down Arnoswassinger, as well as the hero of the movie and his fiancée, killing and dancing.

"The Terminator" is basically the originator of the apocalyptic text, but the online literature industry has opened a grand concept in the apocalyptic text, the so-called apocalypse, just like the human race eliminated the Neanderthals, the new race, the mechanical intelligent life form, is destined to destroy the human race.

This is survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

Supervillains don't need to reflect and repent at all, this is the truth, in the long history of the earth, the elimination of humanity is only a doomed ending, and how long can the terminator delay.

Of course, every powerful storage zài has drawbacks, Superman is afraid of kryptonite, and the super villain TX machine qì set by Xu Teng also has a drawback, which is easy to be eroded by a computer virus, just like having a bad cold, and his exercise and computing power have dropped sharply.

Therefore, Arnoswaswinegger has a chance to defeat Xu Teng.

This is the big script of the super narcissist given by Xu Teng, but it has been highly recognized by Li An, at least it is more dazzling than Cameron's original script, and it has more value to make into a movie.

"Eat. Xu Teng slept for a few hours anyway and reminded Li An, "The big director." I'll help you get the script, you have to help me get Director Zhang...... Of course, you don't need to do it, just help me make a scene, and I'll take care of him myself. ”

"Xiao Xu, you don't need me to cheer at all. Because you are the best science fiction writer I have ever met, I suggest that you write the Chinese version first, take out a first draft, and then I will arrange for other editors to take over, and you can publish this novel. Li An mentioned a good Jianyi, and asked Xu Teng by the way, "When will Director Zhang come over?"

"It is estimated that it is about ten o'clock in the morning. ”

"It's too late to sleep, let's find a place to have a coffee. Have a breakfast. ”

"Then go to the staff cafeteria, I'll treat you. Xu Teng got up, ** was thinking, and his stomach was already hungry.

"Okay, this time, don't invite those pretty girls over...... One or two are fine, little girls of this age, too many and very noisy. "Li An is actually quite sleepy. I really want to go to sleep now, but yesterday I promised Xu Teng to help fool Director Zhang Yimou.

This is really a peer fooling peers. It's definitely a flash.

"Dizzy. Xu Teng found a problem, "I just ask you to be the art consultant of the Yangtze River Film and Television Center, of course, I still have to fool Director Zhang to also serve as a visiting professor." ”

"If you don't have a lot of work, just come twice a year, you shouldn't have a problem. Li An answered the question with a yawn.

This big director is also a workaholic, at least more dedicated than Xu Teng, a few hours before waiting for Zhang Yimou to come over, he and Xu Teng discussed the movie script and character settings carefully in the small box of the staff canteen.

Xu Teng didn't have any more to build. The only thing that can be built is the actor, and if the actor has to replace Edward Furlong in the first two films, then there is only one suitable choice, Christian Bale, and Matthew McConaughey is obviously okay.

The heroine is best to choose Richards Theron, in terms of personality, it is best to be a few years older than the male protagonist, which can make up for the lack of maternal love and attachment complex to the maternal role of the male protagonist John Connor.

Director Li An has been relying on coffee to support himself, and he doesn't talk much, and Xu Teng slowly deduces the rationality of each character's setting, as well as the corresponding metaphors, including various backgrounds, habits, and characteristics.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Yimou arrived at the music center of Changjiang University by car.

Xu Teng received a call from Tan Yu, so he went over with Director Li An and deliberately drove a Kraboca, but he didn't expect that the formation was not small, and there were dozens of entourage.

The two great directors finally met, and they were quite surprised by each other.

Xu Teng deliberately walked slowly, leisurely and chic, and waited for dozens of seconds behind Director Li Suyun with his assistant Yu Suyun, and estimated that the two sides had already exchanged two words of greeting.

"Lao Zhang, let me introduce to you, this is Xu Teng, the managing director of our school, and several major leaders on the school board are very busy, either the president of the Hong Kong Fuxin Foundation, or the chairman of the Jiangtai Group in this province, generally not in the school, and many things in the school are our Director Xu is responsible for decision-making. Tan Yu's introduction was very powerful, he and Xu Teng often met, and the conversation was quite speculative.

Xu Teng, anyone can talk to him, no matter which way you are a master or a security guard, he can talk and make friends.

"Oh, fortunately. Director Zhang didn't care too much, looking at Xu Teng's style and expression, he should also be the son of the rich second generation in China, which chairman.

"Great writer. Director Li An made a move, "I just signed a few of his science fiction novels, and I just negotiated the conditions with Warner last night, ready to take over the filming of "Terminator 3", Xiao Xu ** didn't sleep, helped me get the outline of the script, basically with this script, we can shoot a good texture." ”

Well?

Tan Yu knew that Xu Teng was a science fiction writer, and this kind of Cheng dù still caught him off guard, Director Zhang was even more stunned, I don't understand what the situation is, what kind of painting style?

The four of them stood in the living room on the second floor of the music center, a little silent.

The picture is weird.

"Director Zhang, Director Li, Master Tan, let's sit down and talk. Xu Teng is the master, and took the initiative to break the somewhat embarrassing and terrifying atmosphere, invited the three masters to sit on the edge of the teahouse, and gave Yu Suyun an order to bring over the deceitful set of high-imitation spring garden wild bamboo.

At the end of this time, Xu Teng was going to go to the headquarters of Jiangtai Group in person, even if he grabbed it, he had to snatch the set of spring garden wild bamboo purple sand tea sets, it was too embarrassing, and he actually used imitations to entertain several masters.

He is so high now, and the friends he sees are all big names in the literary and art world, how can he get his hands on a bunch of imitations, this is really impossible to pretend to be forced

In fact. Gu Jingzhou's purple sand teapot, at present, a set of millions can still be obtained, and in another ten years, a complete set will not be tens of millions, and it will not be able to take it down at all. All of them are above 70 million, all of which are sky-high prices.

It's better to buy a house than a pot.

Xu Teng is going to buy more than a dozen sets and throw them in his hands, one set today, one set tomorrow, one set for the office, one set for the dormitory, one set with him, and another set for the canteen for eating.

"Gu Jingzhou's Spring Garden Wild Bamboo, right?" Director Zhang is worthy of being a master of the Fine Arts Department. I saw through the origin of this tea set at a glance, but unfortunately, I didn't see that it was an imitation of Gu Jingzhou's disciples and grandchildren.

Xu Teng was silent, smiled, and roughly said that Director Zhang was really a person who knew the goods.

"Xiao Xu, you are a great writer that our Director Li admires, do you have any better novels here? If it can be made into a movie, can you introduce a copy to me?" Director Zhang deliberately wanted to cheer just now. If you have something to ask for, there is no good novel, there is no good script.

"I've been writing a novel called 'The Moon' lately, and I can make a science fiction film at a low cost. I've just written a third of the story, and there's still a lot to continue to ponder. I can roughly say that. Xu Teng said it casually, just looking for a topic.

The story was still very interesting, he was very casual and told it for a few minutes.

Director Zhang didn't speak, contemplative. The novel is very interesting, how to shoot is a problem, he is not very good at this field.

"If this movie is to be made, it doesn't need much money, it's not too difficult, and in terms of the plot alone, it may be a bit dull, and you need to control the rhythm of the story. You can take a picture yourself, in fact, being a director is not so complicated, you just need to find an experienced assistant director and work with the team. Li An still smiled reservedly, and said a few words casually, looking at Zhang Yimou, in fact, it was the great director who did not miss this good opportunity.

Li An's meaning is still very simple, if you don't want it, then I will ask for it, whether you shoot it in the future or not, let's take it down first and choose it slowly.

Objectively speaking, this is really not an area that Zhang Yimou is good at.

Xu Teng can't help it, his themes are all brain-opening science fiction, it must be made by Hollywood, and a Hollywood director like Director Li must be invited to take action, and a better candidate than Li An is a tyrant like Cameron.

It's still quite embarrassing at this moment, Director Zhang wants Xu Teng to recommend a novel, Xu Teng really recommends it, and Director Zhang obviously doesn't want it.

"Last year, I set up a platform website for the daily Chinese network, mainly doing fantasy serialization, science fiction, fantasy, magic, and some themes are still very interesting. If Director Zhang is interested in this aspect, you can cooperate with our website, and our editors can recommend it to you if they think which novel is suitable for adaptation into a movie. Xu Teng said another unreliable thing, temporarily easing the atmosphere, in fact, he really can't help Director Zhang's film career.

In fact, the success of the fifth generation of directors is largely due to the hundreds of thousands of works created by a large number of authors in the 80s and 90s, and the best themes of these works were filmed into films, and the artistic value of the novels themselves was fully released, and finally created a glorious era of Chinese cinema.

This generation of directors then has a common characteristic, when they can't find a suitable novel and want to create a new script by themselves, the collective has fallen a lot.

"This one is really interesting. Director Zhang smiled a little reluctantly, lacking interest, and roughly understood that Xu Teng's themes and ideas are more suitable for Hollywood, not for the domestic film industry.

Xu Teng is also lacking in interest, and no longer wants to invite this great director as a visiting professor, for no reason, there is no common language, his personality characteristics and specialties are also more suitable for cooperating with Li An.

The three on the other side were all masters, and they talked about their topics, and Xu Teng was just in charge of making tea and listening.

Director Zhang has just completed the production of a magnificent movie, and is in the passionate post-production stage, suffering a lot, spending a lot of money, and having extremely high expectations, explaining the creative process and story of his entire film, without saying it explicitly, the meaning is actually obvious, that is, to take the road of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and impact the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Xu Teng knows very well that this movie only looks at the picture, it is definitely a shocking mess, watching the plot, dizzy, of course, the plot of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xu Teng is also a little dizzy. It's just barely acceptable.

Director Zhang is not a madman, he is just in this stage of passion, it is rare to meet Tan Yu and Li An, especially when he encounters Li An, he must discuss it and listen to the other party's opinions. Take a look at what is good to build in the late system.

It's just that Li An's jet lag problem, he didn't sleep for another day, and sitting here without dozing off is extremely face-saving for Director Zhang, after all, the other party became famous earlier in the international film industry and has a very high status, so he has been silent, just listening to Director Zhang's words.

Xu Teng still made tea, and felt very sorry for Director Li Anda, so he deliberately took the time to peel the apple and handed it over. Because although this Director Li is an uncle who is nearly fifty years old, he is really righteous, and in order to help him pretend to be forced, he has survived until now.

The problem is that Director Zhang has said almost, ask for the opinions of his peers, and symbolically say a few words, he is not here to listen to praise, but to give opinions. If you really want to comment, it took a big investment of more than 60 million yuan to make a movie for the first time. It's no wonder if you're not nervous.

Xu Teng has been observing, and found that Li An actually doesn't feel good, and he is embarrassed to say it clearly.

There is a problem.

The two made eye contact, and it felt almost the same.

"Xiao Xu, how do you feel?" Li An was relying on strong tea to support himself and not fall asleep, and his thoughts were a little chaotic. Just let Xu Teng open his mouth and talk about it casually, anyway, he and Director Zhang may be in Jiangzhou for the past few days, and they can talk about it again tomorrow.

"It's a little dizzy. Xu Teng scratched his head.

"What's the dizziness?" Director Zhang didn't understand.

"Because we haven't seen the movie right now, so. I can only talk about the subject matter, my personal meaning, first of all, there is a problem with the topic selection, and secondly, there is a problem with the idea. "Xu Teng is really not a good person, he basically doesn't regard these masters as masters, in his territory, he can say whatever he wants.

The key is that he doesn't want to talk to Director Zhang now, and he doesn't want to invite someone to be a visiting professor.

Director Zhang is a little stunned now, he has an axe in his hand, and he can directly chop Xu Teng, I've seen a movie review, but I've never seen someone who commented like this in person.

"First of all, let's talk about the topic, martial arts movies, forcibly combined with historical themes, or a particularly historical-oriented martial arts theme, then it will be troublesome, because this historical theme is completely fictional. If we look for a Hollywood biographical movie, or a movie based on real people and real events, we will deliberately explain some information at the end of the film, get a few photos and descriptions, which is nothing more than to enhance the sense of reality. ”

"The reason why I said that there is a problem with the theme of this "Hero" is very simple, as long as you are Chinese and graduated from junior high school, you basically know that this theme is nonsense throughout, and the sense of reality is gone, which is more troublesome. Xu Teng played with the teacup and sighed, estimating in his heart that Director Zhang really wanted to kill him alive now.

The four of them fell silent for a while.

Whether Xu Teng's words are reasonable or not, Li An, who was sitting opposite him, knew best in his heart that they had been talking for four hours in the staff cafeteria in the morning, and what they had been talking about was authenticity and reasonableness.

The "Terminator 3" that Li An wants to shoot is not a Hong Kong entertainment comedy, even if it is a science fiction film, it has to emphasize more realism.

Martial arts films are a big truth, and Director Zhang's "Hero" had a big problem in the selection of the topic, and he directly chose a fake historical story, and the sense of reality was completely lost.

"I will talk about the issue of intentions, using the means of war to build peace, this is true, Stalin can say this, the US military can say this, the terrorists can say this, our Foreign Ministry spokesman can not say this. Those who engage in movies can't say that, because this is realism ****** values, and movies should try to avoid this kind of idea. Xu Teng may not have been able to understand these concepts in his previous life, but he has not always stayed in the past, he has been learning, thinking about movies and novels.

Of course, Xu Teng also knew that he was pretending to be too ruthless, and if he continued to pretend, Director Zhang estimated that he would have to jump off the building.

But.

This force, he still has to continue to pretend to the end.

"Finally, let's talk about the question of Qin Shi Huang, to interpret Qin Shi Huang as a symbol of kingship, a member of the Confucian academic system, from the perspective of history, from the perspective of classical philosophy, it really makes sense. Xu Teng was very distressed, looking like I didn't really want to say it.

Li An was silent, at this moment, he couldn't say anything, it was too offensive, anyway, he could see it, Xu Teng didn't care about offending a big director, he could say whatever he wanted, and he hit the nail on the head.

The film's historical positioning is over.

"Of course, we are only talking about the value and concept of the movie now, not about the box office, because there are many determining factors for the box office, with Director Zhang's strength and this scale of investment, as well as the cast, it must be a domestic blockbuster, and it is very easy to have a box office of hundreds of millions. "Xu Teng has already pretended to be enough, and now he has to ease the atmosphere.

"Brother Zhang, what Xiao Xu said makes sense. Li An was inexplicable, followed behind to make up for it, and had to continue to cheer for Xu Teng, "Warner found more than a dozen directors to take over the third part of "The Terminator", and everyone felt that it was difficult to surpass Cameron's first two films, and they were unwilling to take it. I didn't want to take it at first, but I talked to Xiao Xu **, and I got the idea of the new script, and now I am sure that it will surpass the idea of the first two parts, so I finally decided to shoot. ”

These two knives are too ruthless.

Director Zhang has nothing to say, and he can't find an excuse if he wants to refute it, and now he really regrets coming to Tan Yu, and he is very congested. **
