Chapter 909: True Colors Starring [One Change]

Faced with a table full of dishes, Wang Jing couldn't raise much appetite.

Lin Youlun ate with vegetables by himself, and Wang Jing wanted to speak several times, but he didn't find the opportunity.

"Aaron, I'm always at a loss in my heart, what kind of story do you want to film?" After holding it for a long time, Wang Jing finally held back such a sentence.

Lin Youlun put down his chopsticks and glanced at him.

"Can't eat without figuring it out?"

Wang Jing nodded.

"Well, here's what I thought."

Lin Youlun put down his chopsticks, thought about it for a few seconds, and then began to say:

"The male protagonist of the film is a single father, who works as a creative director in an advertising agency, is a typical machismo, a master of picking girls, every time he goes to a nightclub or a bar, he can soak in a beautiful girl and take him home for the night, and his friends and colleagues are all envious."

Wang Jing picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "This character is quite similar to you." ”

Lin Youlun frowned and looked at him: "What did you say?" ”

Wang Jing immediately changed his words: "I said that your setting is quite creative...... By the way, what's the name of the actor? ”

"Sun Zigang!"

"Sun Tzu...... Just? Wang Jing's eyes widened.

"What, is there a problem?"

Wang Jing hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's a good name." ”

"Sun Zigang's boss has just left, and the company thinks that Sun Zigang will take over this position, but the company did not expect that the company recruited a woman named Li Yilong from the rival company with a high salary, and she became Sun Zigang's new boss."

Lin Youlun picked up the teacup and prepared to moisten his throat, when Wang Jing said: "I guess this Li Yilong must be from the mainland, and then Sun Zigang and a group of colleagues disobeyed her." even discussed finding a way to squeeze her out. But in the process of a series of battles of wits and courage. Sun Tzugang slowly discovered the discussion and intelligence of the female boss, and the impression of the mainlanders in his heart slowly changed. ”

Lin Youlun didn't care about drinking tea, so he held the teacup and stared at Wang Jing for a while.

"That's right, I can draw inferences."

"As you said earlier, this movie was made to reverse some of the prejudices of Hong Kong people against mainlanders, so I thought that the plot could only be justified if it was handled in this way. But I still don't understand, you say it's a comedy movie, so how can this movie be funny? ”

Wang Jing's last sentence was immediately asked.

"Hong Kong people think that mainlanders should be like this, but in fact mainlanders are like that, because of this misunderstanding, can it produce some jokes? For example, Hong Kong people think that mainlanders like to sing revolutionary songs, just like Jacy Cheng in "Cousin, Hello Hi", but in fact, mainlanders have long since switched to pop music...... I have a good bridge section here, you can refer to it. In order to please Li Yilong, Sun Zigang specially organized his colleagues to rehearse a program of singing red songs at the company's annual meeting. But Li Yilong thinks it is a performance of old-fashionedness, and after the worst appearance, it is not a person inside and out, what do you think? ”

This idea was completely thought up by Lin Youlun himself, and when he said it at this time, he also wanted to verify the feasibility through Wang Jing.

Wang Jing touched his chin and thought about it, "The idea is good, but I always feel that there are still fewer laughs in this movie." ”

Lin Youlun nodded.

"Actually, you only guessed half of the plot right just now, and there is a more important half I haven't said yet."

"It's about the male lead?" Wang Jing immediately guessed Lin Youlun's intentions, because when he listened to Lin Youlun just now, he felt that there seemed to be something missing in this story, and that was the finishing touch of the story.

"My grandson had just received a special function in an accidental electrocution, and he could hear what was going on in a woman's heart."

Before Lin Youlun finished speaking, Wang Jing's eyes lit up, but then he thought of a question.

"But you just said you can't have special functions!"

Lin Youlun pouted nonchalantly, "I only said that the role of a mainlander should be a normal person and cannot have special functions, and I did not say that the role of Hong Kong people cannot have special functions." ”

Wang Jing's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Lin Youlun with an expression that clearly said: Is this okay?

"Any questions?"

"What about Sun Tzu just after he got this special ability?" Wang Jing couldn't wait to ask.

Lin Youlun took a sip of tea, picked up the chopsticks and said while picking up the vegetables: "With this unexpected gain, Sun Zigang is like a fish in water, he can easily know the hearts of the women around him, he gradually became addicted to it, and was surprised to find that Li Yilong has always had a good impression of himself." So, Sun Tzu just decided to use Li Yilong's heart to trick her, he tried every possible way to get close to Li Yilong and please her, but he didn't know that he was falling in love. He found that Li Yilong's intelligence and kindness gradually influenced him, not only changing his opinion of her, but also invisibly changing his life. ”

At the end of the story, Wang Jing pondered for a while before asking Lin Youlun: "How did you come up with this idea?" It's amazing! ”

Lin Youlun smiled noncommittally, "Don't treat this as a chore now?" ”

Wang Jing laughed hesitantly, "If you didn't sell Guanzi at the beginning, I would have agreed happily!" ”

Lin Youlun didn't have time to worry about what happened to Wang Jing just now, so he directly told him: "The script can be completed in about a week, and the other movies you have on hand, if you can put them on first, shoot this movie first, and I can give Huang Licheng an explanation." ”

Wang Jing nodded, "By the way, what's the name of this movie?" ”

Lin Youlun said a name without thinking.

"I know a woman's heart?" Wang Jing repeated in his mouth that Lin Youlun had just said the name, and felt that the name of the movie was indeed very appropriate, of course, he didn't know that the story of "I Know a Woman's Heart" was actually adapted by Lin Youlun from two movies in his memory.

It is said that it is two movies, but in fact, it can be said that it is just a movie, the framework of the story is the Hollywood movie "100% Men" released in 2000, and the plot and characters are borrowed from the Chinese film "I Know a Woman's Heart" adapted from "100% Man" ten years later.

Lin Youlun set the story in Hong Kong, and also incorporated a new set of story themes such as the lack of understanding and trust between Hong Kong people and mainlanders, which retains the essence of "100% Men" in terms of comedy, and at the same time has some sublimation compared to "I Know Women's Hearts" in terms of theme.

Lin Youlun decided to hand over this story to Wang Jing to direct, firstly because he is very familiar with Wang Jing, and secondly because although Wang Jing's level as a director is not very high, he has one of the biggest advantages is that he will not have too many personal opinions and can execute the intention of the script unscrupulously.

Having no personality is not necessarily a bad thing, Wang Jing can be so open in the Hong Kong film industry, and his smooth personality is inseparable.

"So have you figured out which actors to look for to play in this movie?"

While Wang Jing began to eliminate the food on the table, he didn't forget to ask Lin Youlun about it.

"The male protagonist uses Liu Dehua, and the heroine uses Gong Li."

Lin Youlun only thought of this movie from Gong Li, so he directly copied the cast of the original "I Know a Woman's Heart", he thought it was no problem, but who thought that Wang Jing shook his head after hearing it.

"It's okay for Gong Li to play the heroine, but I don't think it's appropriate for Liu Dehua to play the leading role."

Lin Youlun didn't expect Wang Jing to raise objections, and Fang Zheng was not in a hurry about this, he wanted to hear what Wang Jing would say.

"Liu Dehua has not completely transformed from an idol actor to a powerful actor now, so you can also see that most of the movies he plays now are mostly handsome and cool roles, and the male protagonists of this movie already have a teenage daughter, Liu Dehua can't play this sense of maturity now, and it's still too late to wait for more than ten years."

Wang Jing's words reminded Lin Youlun that he did have some inconsiderate consideration on this issue.

"What about Fa Ge?"

"Fa Ge is okay, but I have a better candidate."

"Who?"

"You!"

"Me?"

Lin Youlun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Jing with a strange face.

"You said that Liu Dehua is not mature enough, I am a few years younger than him, isn't it funny that you asked me to play this role? Or do you think I look like an old man in his forties? ”

Wang Jing put down his chopsticks, "Don't worry, I don't mean to say that you are old, but from the first day I met you, you gave me the feeling that it was very contradictory, obviously you are not very old, but you give people the feeling that you are very mature, just like the mental age is more than ten years older than the physical age." ”

Lin Youlun didn't say anything on the surface, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, except for the matter of soul crossing, Wang Jing would definitely not be able to guess it, and other things really made him guess correctly.

To say that Lin Youlun's psychological age is indeed more than ten years older than his physical age, Wang Jing is not wrong to say that he has a mature temperament, but it is obviously not enough to convince him to star in this movie based on this alone.

"When you were telling this story just now, I always looked like it in my heart, this Sun Zigang's character, did you come up with it according to yourself, but the name of the protagonist was too much, so I didn't say it, but whether you admit it or not, this character does have too much in common with you, and even I am wondering, do you really have the same special functions as Sun Zigang, otherwise how can you get so many women at the same time...... When you play this role, there is an advantage that no one else has, that is, you play in your true colors, because you are such a person in real life, from this point of view, there is really no second person in Hong Kong who is more suitable for this role than you!
