Seeing Lin Youlun leave in the car, Yuan Heping strode down the steps, where was there still half a minute of what he looked like when he was drunk just now.

The driver who came to pick up Yuan Heping stood in place for a long time and didn't react, Yuan Heping walked a few steps, turned around and said, "Let's go, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" ”

The driver hurriedly followed, "Eighth Master, you weren't drunk?" ”

Yuan Heping waved his hand, "I'm drunk with this little wine, am I so unbearable?" ”

The driver didn't understand, "Then you ...... just now"

Yuan Heping was in a good mood, so he deliberately mentioned the other party: "This is cantonal wine, if I don't pretend to be drunk, can Mr. Lin get by on face?" ”

Of course, there is another purpose, Yuan Heping did not tell himself to the driver, if he didn't do this, it would be impossible to create the effect of "spitting the truth after drinking" during the banquet, and the weight of his words in Lin Youlun's heart would not be as heavy as it is now.

Sitting in the car, Yuan Heping used the excuse of buying cigarettes to break the driver away, took out the big brother and made a phone call.

"I've already figured out what you've asked me to do, but whether Mr. Lin can take a fancy to him depends on whether he has this creation."

"You do something, I don't worry, I will wait for you to come back from the mainland, and I will thank you for the wine."

——

Wu Siyuan put down the phone, his face full of joy.

He patted the sturdy guy standing next to him, and said with a smile: "Yuanba, you have a lot of luck this time!" ”

Li Yuanba stood aside with a blank expression, but when Wu Siyuan said this, he still smiled happily very cooperatively. After 8 years in the United States, he is no longer the stupid boy who didn't know anything at the beginning, Wu Siyuan brought him back from the United States regardless of his previous suspicions. Then he arranged for him to act in a play with Zhou Yanfa. His intentions to make him popular are obvious. He's not going to be as uninteresting as he used to be.

"Uncle Wu, which big star are you cooperating with this time?" Li Yuanba played very well in "Tiger Guard", thinking that Wu Siyuan should have helped him find a new role this time.

"It's not about cooperating with others, this time you're going to play the leading role!" Wu Siyuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Li Yuanba was ecstatic at first, but soon calmed down, he is not well-known in Hong Kong now, and he is the leading actor, I am afraid that he will not attract too many audiences.

"Yuanba. Remember what I said to you 8 years ago? Recalling the past, Wu Siyuan had an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "At that time, I wanted to praise you as Cheng Long's successor, but you got mixed up with those people in Taiwan, just thinking about being a money-making kung fu boy, and there was no interest!" ”

Li Yuanba lowered his head and did not say a word.

Wu Siyuan changed his serious tone and said to Li Yuanba: "At that time, you were young and ignorant, and I didn't care about you, but now you have to listen to me." There is a good chance if you take it. Maybe you are the next Cheng Long! ”

Li Yuanba raised his head, his face mixed with various expressions of surprise, excitement, suspicion, and incomprehension.

Reason told Li Yuanba. Wu Siyuan would not joke with him on this kind of thing, but 8 years ago, when Cheng Long was not as popular as he is now, Wu Siyuan didn't dare to talk about being able to make himself a super Cheng Long, and now Cheng Long is already an international kung fu superstar, but Wu Siyuan said such a thing, Li Yuanba always couldn't believe it.

"The last time I met Yuan Heping and talked to him about you, I asked him to have the opportunity to help introduce you to some big names in the circle, he called me just now, do you know who he had dinner with tonight?" Wu Siyuan deliberately sold a pass.

Li Yuanba shook his head.

"Lin Youlun!" After Wu Siyuan announced the answer, he looked at Li Yuanba's wide-eyed expression of surprise with great satisfaction: "Just now Yuan Heping told me on the phone that Mr. Lin had a script in his hand, and he originally wanted to find Cheng Long to play it, but Cheng Long didn't know why he annoyed Mr. Lin, so this role was vacant, and then Yuan Heping recommended you to Mr. Lin!" ”

Li Yuanba seemed to have been doped, his eyes lit up when he landed, he was calm, and he couldn't help but ask at this time: "Mr. Lin, did he agree?" ”

"How can it be so easy?" Wu Siyuan stretched out his hand and knocked on Li Yuanba's head, "Are you competing with Cheng Long for the role now?" If Jiahe is willing to help Cheng Long intercede, maybe this matter will be nothing to do with you. ”

"So what to do?" Li Yuanba looked anxious, his eyes were round, this was the first time he showed anxious embarrassment in front of Wu Siyuan after returning to Hong Kong.

Wu Siyuan saw that this kid had finally taken the bait, and he was secretly proud in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I also have some friendship with Mr. Lin, I didn't know about this matter before, but now that I know this matter, I will definitely try to help you fight for it, what you need to do now is to wait patiently!" ”

——

Wu Siyuan was thinking about how to talk to Lin Youlun, and He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai were also discussing this matter in the office.

"Fortunately, Tang Jili is now from our Jiahe side, otherwise this matter is really difficult to handle." Zou Wenhuai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, because of this incident, he was also a little dissatisfied with Cheng Long.

"Ah Long is indeed inseparable from filming, but I didn't expect Lin Youlun to be so tough this time, Ah Long was originally scheduled to play the leading role, but he said that he would change it, and there was no room for negotiation at all." He Guanchang deliberately helped Cheng Long explain two sentences.

"Everyone used to work together in a harmonious manner, so Lin Youlun has never shown his strong side, but don't forget, Lin Youlun dared to snatch food from Pan Disheng when he had no foundation back then, and snatched the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line from Pan Disheng. Now he has the final say in the whole Hong Kong theater chain, but he has not carried forward his dominance, but has always maintained restraint, because he understands the truth that it is difficult to gain weight alone. It's not that he doesn't have a temper, it's just that no one has touched his bottom before, or that he is not qualified to lose his temper. ”

Zou Wenhuai saw Lin Youlun very thoroughly, Lin Youlun is the kind of person who respects me a foot and I respect people, but Cheng Long is not interesting this time, so he hit the muzzle.

"I haven't told him the news yet, but when the news of Lin Youlun's movie came out, I'm worried that he can guess what is going on."

He Guanchang felt that the best way to eliminate the misunderstanding was for Golden Harvest to come forward and find a way to let Cheng Long regain Lin Youlun's approval, and it was best to continue to serve as the leading actor in that movie.

"Good horses don't eat back grass, with Lin Youlun's character, do you think he will agree?" Zou Wenhuai shook his head, "I think this matter should be dealt with coldly for a period of time first, so that Ah Long can have a lesson, as for the misunderstanding between the two sides, I can only find a chance to resolve it later." ”

——

When Tang Jili learned that he was loaned by Golden Harvest to make a movie for Lin Youlun, he was excited and didn't fall asleep all night, but after calming down, he was a little worried, because he was just a little director who had made two movies according to other people's wishes, and Lin Youlun couldn't let go of a more famous director, so he asked him to shoot, which Tang Jili couldn't figure out.

Of course, doubts are doubts, on the day he went to see Lin Youlun, Tang Jili still cleaned himself up neatly, and came to the café where he made an appointment to meet with apprehension.

"You don't need to introduce yourself, do you?" The first words Lin Youlun said when he stood up from his seat and shook hands with Tang Jili made Tang Jili feel relaxed.

Sure enough, the next conversation didn't talk about work, Lin Youlun first asked about Tang Jili's experience as a stuntman in the three years before he changed careers to become a director, and heard that Tang Jili had been a stand-in for many stars such as Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Yurong, and Zhai Long, and curiously asked about the use of stuntmen by celebrities.

When filming "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors", Lin Youlun estimated that he would look at the use of stuntman actors, and took this opportunity to inquire about the situation.

Tang Jili spoke in detail, from his personal experience to the situation of the entire industry, he told Lin Youlun again, and half an hour passed unconsciously.

Lin Youlun began to lead the conversation to the topic, "I heard that Mr. He is interested in letting you direct Cheng Long's "Police Story III.", and I would like to know what you would do if you were really asked to make this movie? ”

Tang Jili knew that Lin Youlun borrowed himself from Jiahe, and it was definitely not Cheng Long's "Police Story III.", so his purpose in asking this question was obviously to test himself.

"In terms of content, I think Cheng Long's action movies have made another big breakthrough, so there can only be some innovation in form, for example, he used to see jumping from a very high building in his previous movies, and if I shoot it, I may change the way and let him jump from the helicopter. Of course, when I am a director, the biggest change may be in the editing. Tang Jili paused, and then said: "In the past, Cheng Long's self-directed and self-starred movies generally used repetitive editing of multi-camera upgrade shots to extend and amplify the effect of action, focusing on strengthening and highlighting the star effect of 'real life' in repetition. to build exciting and thrilling action. ”

Although Tang Jili helped Cheng Long make many movies in later generations, he himself was not covered by the aura of Cheng Long's films, because of the innovation in editing and lens use.

Hong Kong action movies usually design the fighting action in a small indoor space and environment, with the characters as the only center of interest in the picture, mainly in the middle and close shots, the characters are in the foreground, focusing on the actions of the characters, and even if the long shots are taken, it is customary to use long focus to blur the background. Tang Jili, on the other hand, tends to focus on long shots and panoramas, and emphasizes short focal lengths and large depth of field. Such visual characteristics make the movements of the characters and the spatial environment equally clear and highlight each other, so that the spatial environment has gained an importance in Tang Jili's works that has not been found in Hong Kong action films before.

Lin Youlun used "Police Story" to test Tang Jili's thoughts, also to determine whether he had formed this kind of thinking, and Tang Jili could be regarded as handing over an answer sheet that Lin Youlun was more satisfied with. (To be continued.) )
