Chapter 526: The Heart of Love and Talent [Four Changes]
Lin Jianyue felt that taking the initiative to call again would be more sincere than waiting for Xu Ke to call back, this detail was seen by Lin Baixin, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
Shi Nansheng sent the microphone, but he was very puzzled.
At first, she thought that Lin Jianyue was looking for Xu Ke to talk about the movie "Zhu Xian Only Qingyun Tribulation", but when she heard Lin Jianyue's tone later, it didn't look like he wanted to ask the teacher to ask for guilt.
As for the possibility of cooperation, Shi Nansheng never thought that "Zhu Xian Only Qingyun Tribulation" invested more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and now the loss is almost a foregone conclusion, how can Lin Jianyue still find Xu Ke to cooperate again?
Shi Nansheng didn't believe it, and Xu Ke didn't want to believe it at first.
Although he had been more or less mentally prepared for Lin Jianyue's attitude from Huang Baiming, he felt that Lin Jianyue would not look for him so soon, so when he went home and listened to Shi Nansheng talk about it, he was also very surprised.
Shi Nansheng's eyes widened when he heard Xu Ke finish speaking, "You mean that Lin Jianyue is looking for you to cooperate again?" ”
Xu Ke nodded, acquiescing to Shi Nansheng's statement.
"It seems that we have always underestimated Lin Jianyue before, but we didn't expect him to be so courageous." Because of this incident, Shi Nansheng's perception of Lin Jianyue suddenly became much better.
"There may be courage, but what I admire more is his scheming." Xu Ke lit a cigarette and smoked it, "He knew that "Zhu Xian's Qingyun Tribulation" was not successful, and I was actually the most disappointed person, so he chose to come to me at this time, if I said that I would make a movie similar to "Zhu Xian's Qingyun Tribulation", do you think he will not support me anymore?" ”
"It's not bad to be able to make other movies, at least he didn't have the same time as Jiahe back then. I'm scared that teenagers don't dare to cooperate with you. Shi Nansheng pouted. Said.
Xu Ke took a hard puff of his cigarette. "Once I cooperate with Lin Jianyue again, I'm afraid Mr. Lin will really have an opinion on me."
Shi Nansheng was not worried about this at all, "If "Zhuxian: Qingyun Tribulation" is a big success, if you cooperate with Lin Jianyue again, Mr. Lin will definitely be unhappy, but in this situation, he may wish that you would continue to cooperate with Lin Jianyue, and then continue to lose money to Lin Jianyue." ”
Xu Ke smiled bitterly: "Even you have no confidence in me?" ”
"No, I don't. I mean, if you help Lin Jianyue film now, the money you make will only be able to recover some of the losses of the movie "Zhuxian: Qingyun Tribulation", and there is no need for Mr. Lin to get along with you because of this matter. Of course, you also have to control the proportions yourself, help Lin Jianyue finish filming this movie, accept it when you see it, and continue to cooperate with Mr. Lin in the next movie. Shi Nansheng had already helped Xu Keji plan it in his heart.
Xu Ke held the cigarette in his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to do what Shi Nansheng said, so that neither end of the country would have to offend.
Make up your mind. Then the phone rang.
——
"To Qifeng?" Lin Youlun put down the brush in his hand and glanced at the nanny Wu Ma who was standing at the door of the study. He nodded and said, "I know the truth, you brought him directly here to talk to me." ”
Wu's mother left as she said, but Lin Youlun was in no mood to continue writing, put the brush on the inkstone, wiped her hands with a towel, and wondered what Du Qifeng would do when he came to find him at this time.
Making a movie? I heard Wang Jing say that Du Qifeng now has several scripts waiting to be filmed, and the possibility of coming for this is very small.
Did Du Qifeng and Wang Jingkai's film company have an accident? This is also unlikely, otherwise Wang Jing, who is filming in the mainland, would have called him a long time ago.
The footsteps at the door interrupted Lin Youlun's thoughts, and he looked up and saw Wu Ma leading Du Qifeng in.
"Didn't bother Mr. Lin, did you?" When entering the door, Du Qifeng asked very carefully.
Lin Youlun waved his hand to signal that everything was fine, and at the same time pointed to the sofa opposite him and asked Du Qifeng to sit down and talk.
"Recently, I was learning to write calligraphy, and then I realized that writing is much more difficult than writing scripts." Lin Youlun sat down on the sofa opposite Du Qifeng and chatted with him.
Du Qifeng had an idea, and said: "Then I can ask Mr. Lin for a few words another day, so that the title at the beginning of the movie will be there." ”
"Forget it, I only thought of practicing calligraphy when I had nothing to do during this time, even if I practiced seriously, I didn't dare to take it out to meet people without three or five years of hard work." Lin Youlun waved his hand, and then changed the topic.
"Did Wei Jiahui release people over there?"
Wei Jiahui wanted to leave TVB and make a movie with Johnny To, but because of the contract with TVB, he couldn't get out, so Lin Youlun promised him to help him solve this matter after filming "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
"The wireless side agreed to Xiaobao leaving, but I hope that he will leave after the two parts of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and then Xiaobao also agreed, so he will continue to stay in wireless for the time being." Du Qifeng's tone was full of gratitude to Lin Youlun, if Lin Youlun didn't come forward, this matter would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.
Lin Youlun nodded, and then asked Du Qifeng what happened to him today.
Du Qifeng was asked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, like a ball of cotton blocking his throat, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, his expression looked very hesitant.
Lin Youlun became more and more curious, looked at Du Qifeng and asked, "What's the matter, have you encountered anything embarrassing?" Or is there something wrong with the company? ”
"I recently came up with a script idea, and I talked to a few friends about it during small talk, and then I don't know how it got to Xu Ke, and then he came to me yesterday and said that he wanted to shoot this story." Speaking of this, Du Qifeng suddenly stopped talking as if he was stuck in his throat, and then looked at Lin Youlun.
"That's a good thing, isn't it? Or do you want to shoot this story yourself, and then you are embarrassed to refuse Xu Ke? Lin Youlun was confused by Du Qifeng's reaction.
"No, I already have several scripts waiting to be filmed, and it's not impossible to hand them over to Xu Ke to shoot, it's just ......" Du Qifeng swallowed for a long time before telling the reason for the incident.
"Xu Ke wants to buy your story idea, and then invest in the person who makes this movie is Lin Jianyue?" Lin Youlun raised his eyebrows and asked Du Qifeng's words again.
Du Qifeng nodded, it was nothing to cooperate with Xu Ke, but if the investor was Lin Jianyue, things would become complicated, Du Qifeng didn't want to be involved in the fight between Lin Youlun and Lin Jianyue, but Xu Ke came to him again and again, pestering him so much that he had no choice but to go to Lin Youlun to ask what to do.
If Lin Youlun disagrees, he can directly reject Xu Ke when he goes back.
Hearing that Lin Jianyue and Xu Ke were working together again, Lin Youlun was also a little surprised, and at the same time, he was even more curious about what kind of story Du Qifeng had in his hands that could make Xu Ke so unforgettable.
"Speaking of which, this matter also has something to do with Xu Ke, because I came up with the idea of writing this story after watching several martial arts films he made, especially Lin Qingxia in "Undefeated in the East", which touched me deeply, and then I thought, most martial arts movies now have men as the protagonists, so can there be a martial arts movie with women as the protagonists?"
Since Xu Ke filmed "Once Upon a Time", new-school martial arts films have begun to revive on the Hong Kong screen, and there are countless followers for a while, but not everyone has the imagination of Xu Laowei, so after watching too much, the audience gradually lost interest in this kind of film.
Seeing that costume martial arts films are slowly losing the market, then this kind of new martial arts films began to expand their ties to modern cities and seize the audience of the police and bandit martial arts films that originally belonged to Cheng Long's faction. This trend first appeared in comics, and then gradually expanded to the big screen, this kind of modern martial arts films can not only satisfy the audience's curiosity about traditional kung fu and modern weapons, but also provide creators with more novel ideas in the different environments of modern cities and ancient times.
The story idea of "Three Heroes of the East" is in this context, and it is in this context that it slowly takes shape in Du Qifeng's mind.
This story tells the story of three women with strong martial arts in the modern city, and the most special thing is that it injects a strong sense of modern women into action movies, breaking through the type of male respect, so after Xu Ke heard about this story, he immediately had the idea of filming this story.
In Lin Youlun's memory, this movie should have been shot by Du Qifeng himself, but now it has become Xu Ke to shoot, and the whole thing is messed up.
Compared with Johnny To's other works, the movie "Three Heroes of the East" can only be said to be relatively special, but it is not Johnny To's masterpiece, it can only be said that this movie is very imaginative, the narrative time and space are multiple intertwined, and the action design is elegant and handsome, and it is also a masterpiece in the field of Hong Kong action movies.
If Xu Kelai, who has a sharp style and is good at making this kind of action movie, directs this film, what kind of effect will it have, but Lin Youlun has some expectations.
Although the investor behind Xu Ke is Lin Jianyue, at this time, Lin Youlun's curiosity about the unknown effect that this film may produce if it is changed to Xu Ke has exceeded his suppression of Lin Jianyue.
It can also be said that Lin Youlun has a heart for talent, and feels that it is a wonderful idea to hand over a story like "Three Heroes of the East" to Xu Ke to film, so he did not stop it.
Of course, there is another reason that although the story of "Three Heroes of the East" is good, most of the audiences who like action movies are men, and these audiences will not have too much enthusiasm for action movies with women as the protagonists, so it is destined that this movie will not make a big difference at the box office.
Even if Xu Ke is replaced to make this movie, it is impossible to change this. (To be continued......)
