Xu Sulf heard that Lin Youlun was willing to help, but she didn't have time to be happy, and Lin Youlun then asked about something, which made her suddenly difficult.

Lin Youlun asked whether Cheng Dieyi, who was "not crazy and can't live" in "Farewell My Concubine", had been determined to be played by Zhang Yurong, and Xu Quan didn't know how to answer.

While Xu Chuan is looking for a director for "Farewell My Concubine", she has never forgotten the role of Cheng Dieyi, and her attitude is the same as that of Li Bihuan, the author of the original novel - the most suitable candidate for this role is Zhang Yurong.

Originally, Zhang Rongrong wanted to play this role very much, but that was his previous idea before he decided to quit the music industry, Zhang Rongrong's determination to retire this time was very thorough, and he was ready to retire to Canada directly.

Xu Yan specifically approached Zhang Yurong for this matter, but Zhang Yurong was still hesitant and did not give a very accurate answer.

At this time, a Cheng Biting Jin was killed halfway.

There is a very famous actor in Taiwan called Zunlong, he has acted in a very famous movie called "The Last Emperor", Xu Quan only met Zunlong in a hurry before, and his only impression of him is that he is very handsome.

Zunlong heard that Xu Sulf was about to make a movie like "Farewell My Concubine", and then used various connections to get in touch with Xu Sulf, and sincerely expressed his desire to play the leading role.

After a long time of talking to Zhang Yurong here, Xu Yan was moved, she and Zhang Rongrong directly said this matter, originally wanting to do the most difficult struggle, but Zhang Rongrong was relieved when he heard the news, and directly said that he would quit.

Since Zhang Rongrong said so, the matter of Zunlong replacing him as Cheng Dieyi was decided, and when Zhang Rongrong went to Taiwan to participate in an event a while ago and met Zunlong. He also said to Zunlong: "We all look at you." ”

Zhang Rongrong didn't say this for long. "Rouge Buckle" won six awards at the Academy Awards. He himself was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor again with this movie, and Xu Sulf's intestines were repentant.

The more she compares Zhang Yurong and Zunlong, the more she feels that her previous decision was a mistake.

Zunlong is indeed very handsome, but his kind of handsomeness is with that kind of masculine taste, unlike Zhang Yurong, with a feminine beauty between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is a man who is one of the four stunning colors in Xiangjiang, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Now the wood is in the boat. Zunlong's side was already ready, and Xu Yan was even more difficult to regret, and his heart was extremely entangled, so when Lin Youlun asked, he didn't know how to answer.

"I think about the role of Cheng Dieyi, we should think about it again...... Isn't Zunlong an actor from Taiwan? If this drama is directed by Chen Qige, it will definitely be filmed in the mainland, and now the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland is very delicate, and Ms. Xu may be able to think of a way from this aspect. It's hard for Lin Youlun to imagine what Zhang Yurong would have become if he hadn't played Cheng Dieyi, "Farewell My Concubine". So he gave Xu Sulfone an idea.

Whether this idea works or not is secondary, the key is that Xu Yan heard Lin Youlun's attitude from these words. If you want to get his support, I'm afraid that this actor will really go to Zhang Yurong to play.

But even if Zunlong's side can handle it, will Zhang Yurong's side be willing to eat back grass?

This incident made Xu Li feel a headache.

——

Chen Qige was taking his clothes out of the suitcase and hanging them in the closet when there was a knock on the door of the room.

When I opened the door, I found that it was Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou walked in, saw Chen Qige piling up the clothes on the bed, and said with a smile: "Haven't you cleaned it up yet?" ”

"Sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea." Chen Qige found two cups and lifted the kettle only to find that it was empty.

Zhang Yimou stopped Chen Qige, who was about to ask the waiter for boiling water, "Don't bother, just drink cold." ”

"Look at my memory, there is a water heater in the room." Chen Qige connected the socket, turned on the water heater switch, and dragged a chair to sit down in front of Zhang Yimou.

"What, you want to talk to me?"

Zhang Yimou nodded, "I didn't have enough fun on the plane, and I still want to discuss a few issues with you." ”

"I'm also trying to ask you something, will you say it first or will I say it first?" Chen Qige asked.

Zhang Yimou said: "The guest is as you please, you can ask first." ”

"I heard that before you made Red Sorghum, you also worked as a cinematographer in a co-production between mainland China and Hong Kong?"

"The tasks assigned above, if you don't go, you can't do it, I actually went to help them shoot the scenery, and I didn't participate in the plot or anything." Zhang Yimou shrugged and replied.

"That movie wasn't released in the mainland?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head, although he is the photographer of "Storm and Clouds", the post-production of this film was completed in Hong Kong, and Zhang Yimou did not even see the last demo of the film.

"I heard that the movie was adapted from a comic in Hong Kong, and the plot is very mysterious in our words, and it is normal that it cannot be released in China."

Chen Qige hugged his hands, "Then do you know how the box office sales of that movie later?" ”

Zhang Yimou tried hard to recall that Liu Weiqiang made a special phone call at that time and told him about the situation, "Hong Kong has received more than 70 million, and the world seems to have more than 90 million." ”

"It's only more than 20 million overseas, it's unlikely, right?" Chen Jige still has some understanding of the global film market.

"The first is the Hong Kong dollar, and the second is the US dollar." Zhang Yimou added, and joked: "I forgot what the current exchange rate is, anyway, it is quite a lot, and it has to be calculated according to the domestic box office, we are afraid that the sum of the movies in a lifetime may not be as good as this one." ”

Chen Qige deeply agrees with this, and has a deep worry: "Do you say that in the mainland, will art films slowly give way to commercial films?" ”

"It's not that it won't, but it will definitely be." Zhang Yimou took over the conversation, "You can see how popular the movies that China has welcomed from Hong Kong in recent years, this is an inevitable trend, and no one can stop it." ”

"Why, I see you're interested in commercial films?" Chen Qige asked.

"It's not about interest, it's just that commercial films do have advantages over art films in some aspects, such as innovations in shooting techniques." Zhang Yimou worked as a photographer in the crew of "Storm and Clouds", although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still knows a lot about it.

"By the way, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously.

"A producer here in Hong Kong wanted me to make a film, but I wasn't sure if I should say yes." Chen Qige told the truth.

Zhang Yimou suddenly became interested, "Is it a commercial movie?" ”

Chen Qige shook his head and said: "It's not entirely considered, or it should be more inclined to literary films." ”

"Who wrote the script?"

"I don't know, I just know that the original novel was written by a Hong Kong female writer named Li Bihuan, and I heard that this person is quite famous in Hong Kong." When Chen Qige said this, he suddenly remembered that the water should be boiling, and hurriedly got up to make tea.

Zhang Yimou felt a little familiar as soon as he heard the name Li Bihuan, and when Chen Qige came back with the brewed tea, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered where he had heard this name.

"This Li Bihuan's work should be very good, I heard that some time ago, Mr. Lin Youlun from Hong Kong also adapted another of her novels into a movie, and won a lot of awards in Europe."

"You're talking about the "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", right?" Chen Qige nodded, when he was in France, Xu Yan had also mentioned this matter to him. "You seem to have met Mr. Lin Youlun, what is your impression of him?"

"When filming in Jiuzhaigou, he came once, to say the first impression, my feeling is that he is very young, there was really no special feeling at that time, and then I slowly learned some things about him...... There are a lot of deeds in Hong Kong, as long as you pay a little attention to inquire during this time, you will definitely gain a lot, I can't say the specifics, in short, you can't see through him. Zhang Yimou recalled.

Chen Qige was about to continue asking when the phone in the room suddenly rang.

"Well, I'm Chen Qige...... It's Ms. Xu, hello hello! ”

Chen Qige was very strange, he had only arrived in Hong Kong for less than half a day, and Xu Sulfo's phone call came directly to the hotel room.

He looked puzzled at first, and then his brow slowly furrowed as he listened to the call.

After answering the phone and coming back, Chen Jige's expression became a little solemn, and Zhang Yimou asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the movie I just told you about, and the producer called right here." Chen Qige said helplessly.

"She's going to ask you out again?" Zhang Yimou guessed.

Chen Qige shook his head, "It's not her, it's Mr. Lin I asked you, he's coming over soon." ”

Xu Quan knew the phone number of Chen Qige's hotel room for the reason is very simple, because Chen Qige and his entourage are here to participate in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, because they are from the mainland, the situation is special, and the hotel is all set by the organizer in advance, as long as they check in, Lin Youlun will be able to receive the news.

Zhang Yimou was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Youlun to attach so much importance to Chen Qige, he took the initiative to meet him on the first day, and he was also invited to participate in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, why didn't he have such treatment?

Zhang Yimou and Chen Jige belong to the same generation of directors in China, and there is actually a competitive relationship between them, even if the two have no intention of comparing each other, people will still compare them together, of course, the comparison is not the box office of the movie, but whose movie wins more awards.

"Since Mr. Lin is coming, then I won't bother, and you should hurry up and clean up, so as not to wait for someone to come and see the mess." Zhang Yimou got up to say goodbye, and he was inevitably a little lost in his heart.

As soon as he walked to the door, he almost bumped into Lin Youlun, who was about to enter the door. (To be continued......)
