Chapter 978: Adaptation Plan [Four Changes]

"The Green Hornet" written and starred by Seth Rogen, in which Bruce Lee played the role of the assistant Kato, the producer was ready to invite Zhou Xingchi to play it, but because Zhou Xingchi had a difference of opinion with Seth Rogen because of the script, and he was also shooting another movie, he gave up starring in this movie, and his role was also played by the famous Asian pop singer Jay Chou.

When Lin Youlun watched this movie, he was thinking about what it would be like if Zhou Xingchi starred in this movie, he was just thinking about it at that time, but now he can directly turn this idea into reality.

Hong Jinbao and Lin Zhenying were still standing aside and didn't leave, so Lin Youlun couldn't wait to chat with Zhou Xingchi.

"Xingzai, if you really want to try your luck in Hollywood, I have an idea."

Zhou Xingchi was already a little about to give up this idea, but when Lin Youlun said this, he suddenly saw hope again.

"The words you and Master Lin just now reminded me, and then I am going to buy the film adaptation rights of the original TV series "The Green Hornet", remake it into a movie, and then you will play the role of Kato!"

As soon as Lin Youlun said this idea, Zhou Xingchi hadn't reacted, but Lin Zhenying suddenly said on the side: "Mr. Lin, I don't agree with you doing this!" ”

One sentence attracted the attention of everyone present to his face.

Hong Jinbao really can't wait to block Lin Zhenying's mouth immediately, so as to collide with Lin Youlun in person, Lin Zhenying really doesn't want to mix in the Hong Kong film industry!

Zhou Xingchi was a little dissatisfied with Lin Zhenying just now, and when he heard that he was opposed to playing the role of Kato, his eyes became more and more gloomy when he looked at Lin Zhenying.

Only Lin Youlun didn't care much about Lin Zhenying's apparent behavior. Instead, he looked at Lin Zhenying with some curiosity. Want to hear what he has to say.

"Mr. Bruce Lee starred in this TV series that year. It was by virtue of his unparalleled skills that he stole the role of the protagonist, and then became famous in the United States, Mr. Lin wanted to remake this movie, no matter how he said it, he should also find an action actor to play Kato, instead of finding whoever is famous to play him. ”

Lin Zhenying's words were completely out of public intentions, but they fell into the ears of others, as if he deliberately wanted to get along with Zhou Xingchi.

Hong Jinbao had already begun to regret coming over at this time, and he hadn't started to talk about business yet. offended Zhou Xingchi first.

Although Lin Zhenying and Zhou Xingchi are basically well water and do not interfere with river water, no one can control anyone, but offending Zhou Xingchi for no reason is still not worth it in Hong Jinbao's opinion.

Zhou Xingchi's face became more and more gloomy, once upon a time he worshipped Bruce Lee as an idol, and now Lin Zhenying actually said that he was not worthy of playing the role that Bruce Lee once played, which has challenged his bottom limit.

Without waiting for Zhou Xingchi to open his mouth to refute, Lin Youlun spoke first.

"Master Lin, I can understand what you think, but there is a question I want to ask. You don't think Xingzai is suitable to play Kato because he is not an action actor. So who do you think can really replace Bruce Lee in this role? Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhao Wenzhuo or Zhen Zidan? ”

Lin Zhenying was stunned, he really hadn't seriously thought about this question, and Lin Youlun's question, he didn't know how to answer it

"It is said that the entertainment industry is realistic, as long as the average star does not show up for a few months, everyone will easily forget him, and Mr. Bruce Lee has been dead for so many years, why are Hong Kong people still thinking about him? I think the main reason is that so far, there has been no actor who can replace him in the Chinese film industry, which brings us a problem, who you find to play can't replace Bruce Lee, so what's the difference between finding an actor who can do kung fu and someone who can't do kung fu? ”

Lin Zhenying's mouth moved, and he wanted to refute Lin Youlun's point of view, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, that is, although he was very reluctant to admit Lin Youlun's words, he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable.

"Of course, I'm just saying that Bruce Lee is difficult to be surpassed, not that the classics he left behind can't be surpassed, the key is that you can't simply imitate, but have your own innovation, and "Jingwu Heroes" does a good job in this regard. I said that Li Lianjie's Chen Zhen surpassed Bruce Lee, Master Lin, you will definitely not agree, but I said that the movie "Jingwu Hero" is not inferior to Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", and there is even a transcendence in the theme of the plot, you shouldn't deny this Master Lin, right? ”

Lin Zhenying didn't speak, and Lin Youlun took it as if he was admitting.

"In the same way, if "The Green Hornet" is filmed according to the original model, with Bruce Lee's original TV series Zhuyu in front, it is very difficult to break through on this basis, only by jumping out of the original frame and finding another way, the film can make a breakthrough on the basis of the original drama."

Lin Youlun's words made Hong Jinbao and Zhou Xingchi's eyes shine, and Lin Zhenying was even more touched, he vaguely felt that the biggest reason why he didn't succeed in filming "The Green Hornet" may be that he was too influenced by the original TV series, so he couldn't let go of his hands and feet to shoot.

"I asked Xingzi to make this movie because in this film, I am going to try to combine kung fu and special effects, in fact, this kind of attempt has been done before, Xingzi starring in "Shaolin Football" is a typical example, although the success of that movie was influenced by the World Lujie Cup, but at least this path is correct."

With Lin Youlun's identity, he didn't need to explain so much to Lin Zhenying, but he still did it, and Lin Zhenying had nothing to say.

"Listening to your words, it is better than reading for ten years, and today I can really understand it!" Hong Jinbao was afraid that Lin Zhenying would not be interesting, so he said a few words before him, and at the same time gave Lin Zhenying a constant look.

"Listening to Mr. Lin's high-level discussion today, I have done a lot of the same, I won't bother now, and I will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Lin for advice in the future!" Lin Zhenying was speechless by Lin Youlun's rebuttal, and naturally he was not embarrassed to mention his zombie film again, and was ready to turn around and leave after saying this.

Hong Jinbao also felt that it was not appropriate to mention the matter with Lin Youlun now, so he did not stop it.

But at this time, Lin Youlun stopped Lin Zhenying.

"Master Lin stays, I still have something to tell you!"

"I wonder what else Mr. Lin has to teach?" Lin Zhenying turned around and asked with a wry smile.

He was ready to be sarcastically ridiculed by Lin Youlun, but what Lin Youlun said surprised him.

"I'm going to ask Master Lin to be the action director of "The Green Hornet", I don't know what Master Lin thinks?"

Lin Zhenying was still standing there stunned, and Hong Jinbao patted him on the shoulder, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what are you hesitating about, hurry up and agree!" ”

Lin Zhenying wants to try to combine traditional zombie films with special effects, and Lin Youlun has just made it clear that "The Green Hornet" will try to combine kung fu and special effects, the two are actually the same, if Lin Zhenying can serve as the martial arts instructor of "The Green Hornet", he will be more sure to shoot his zombie film after the end.

Seeing that Lin Zhenying refused to speak, Lin Youlun had no choice but to take the initiative to ask, "What, Master Lin doesn't have time?" ”

Lin Zhenying hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I was worried just now that I couldn't bear this burden and failed Mr. Lin's expectations." ”

Lin Youlun pretended to be angry and said, "So Master Lin is suspicious of my human vision? ”

Lin Zhenying didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to ask Hong Jinbao for help with her eyes.

Hong Jinbao stood up and said: "Okay, since Mr. Lin trusts you, you just work hard not to disappoint Mr. Lin, don't forget that you are the one who once taught Bruce Lee martial arts!" ”

Seeing that Lin Zhenying finally nodded, Lin Youlun showed a satisfied smile on his face for the first time.

Although the real goal was not achieved, but it was a rare opportunity to practice, Lin Zhenying and Hong Jinbao were very satisfied with this result, but Zhou Xingchi did not think so.

Lin Zhenying targeted himself everywhere just now, and now that he is the martial arts instructor of the movie, won't he still have to listen to his command in the future?

The more Zhou Xingchi thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and as soon as Lin Zhenying and Hong Jinbao left, he immediately wanted to mention this matter to Lin Youlun.

"Mr. Lin, I ......"

"You don't want to work with Lin Zhenying, do you?" Lin Youlun saw through Zhou Xingchi's thoughts at a glance, and of course he could understand why he would have such a complaint.

Lin Zhenying is a little too rigid and upright, such a temper is indeed easy to offend people, but Zhou Xingchi is not a big-bellied person, it is really not easy to want the two to cooperate sincerely.

For the sake of Lin Youlun's face, the two may not directly clash, but there will definitely be no less small friction in private.

"I know that you have an opinion about Lin Zhenying, but he is such a temper, if you don't believe it, you can inquire, I believe that what he said just now is just about things and not people, so don't worry too much about him."

Lin Youlun said so, and Zhou Xingchi didn't want to make any more requests, but there was always a little mustard in his heart, like a thorn in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.

"He's a tough guy, what if I have a disagreement with him?"

Zhou Xingchi's words completely put himself on the weak side, but Lin Youlun felt very strange when he heard it, in his opinion, the really difficult person should be Zhou Xingchi himself, right?

Of course, facing Zhou Xingchi, Lin Youlun would definitely not say that.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will find an old acquaintance of yours to be the director of this movie, and you don't have to have direct contact with Lin Zhenying at that time, you can communicate with the director if you have any questions!" (To be continued......)
