Chapter 508: Watching the Drama and Watching the People [Five Watches]
Lin Youlun guessed the purpose of Huang Ziqiang secretly coming to watch "Jingwu Hero", but he didn't immediately ask him for confirmation.
The plot on the screen progressively high. tide, after Chen Zhen entered the battle with Huo Yanen for the head of the Jingwu Sect, and the blindfolded battle with Fumio Funakoshi, the head coach of the Black Dragon Society, Chen Zhen finally met the ultimate boss of the film - "robot" Fujita Gang.
The audience can see at a glance that the person who plays Tsuyoshi Fujita is a real-life boxing master, the protagonist Zhou Bili in "Blade Warrior".
There was an exclamation in the theater, with "Why is he?" "There's a good show to watch now", and it didn't slowly subside until the shelf was officially opened on the screen.
As soon as Fujita Gang played by Zhou Bili made a move, even if the audience who didn't understand martial arts, he could see that he was a master of the kind of strength and quantity, his shot was strong and heavy, and his ability to resist blows was very prominent.
From the standpoint of director Chen Jiashang, the design of the scene where Huo Yanen loses to Fujita Gang is a method of first suppressing and then rising, and using Huo Yanen's failure to set off Chen Zhen's next success.
And Yuan Heping arranged it like this in this scene in order to highlight a sentence that Chen Zhen often said in the film - to beat people, you must first learn to be beaten.
Huo Yanen actually did not lose to Chen Zhen in martial arts skills, and the reason why Chen Zhen won was only because Chen Zhen was more durable than him.
In the end, Fujita was killed by Chen Zhen, but this incident may become the fuse for the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Chen Zhen is willing to bear all the consequences for the sake of national interests, and then the camera turns. The audience saw the brothers of the Jingwu Sect walking out carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth.
"How did Chen Zhen die?"
"Hey. He committed suicide for the sake of the country, right? ”
"Dude. This is just a movie, can you arrange a better ending for him, do all national heroes have to die after the worst? ”
There was a buzz in the theater, and many viewers were complaining about the ending.
Huang Ziqiang also looked at Lin Youlun with some doubts, and the expression in his eyes was clearly asking, did Chen Zhen really die like this?
Lin Youlun looked at Nunu on the screen, signaling him to watch patiently, and sure enough, the camera turned. A group of people walked out of the Jingwu Gate, ready to go to various parts of the country to help their compatriots fight against foreign invasions, and one of them got into the rickshaw and pulled the brim of his hat down, revealing a face that was familiar to the audience.
Only then did the audience realize that Chen Zhen had only faked his death and had not really been executed.
Many people, including Huang Ziqiang, breathed a sigh of relief, and this ending finally satisfied everyone.
At the end of the film, the overhead light came on, and Huang Ziqiang stood up to leave like the other viewers around him. Lin Youlun stopped him.
"Is Director Huang going to leave like this?"
Huang Ziqiang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Come secretly." Of course, I walked quietly, so I didn't know how to explain it. ”
"Actually, I just wanted to ask, is Director Huang coming to see people or movies?" Lin Youlun asked.
Huang Ziqiang was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "Doesn't Mr. Lin already have an answer in his heart?" ”
"I don't know which film company Director Lu Daohuang is going to help shoot this time?" Lin Youlun then asked.
"It's just an idea for the time being, and the investor hasn't been determined yet." Huang Ziqiang didn't hide it, and suddenly had an idea after speaking, and then saw Lin Youlun smiling at him, and was immediately overjoyed.
Lin Youlun saw that Huang Ziqiang had understood what he meant, and he was very satisfied.
"Director Huang is leaving, I won't keep you anymore, there is a café next to the theater, you can go over there and sit for a while, and I'll bring the person you want to see here after the entertainment."
Huang Ziqiang nodded in response, and then left the screening hall in the crowd of departures.
Lin Youlun walked to the front row, firstly, to meet Qiu Shuzhen, and secondly, to say a few words of encouragement to the creators of "Jingwu Heroes".
The first one to catch up was Chen Jiashang, Lin Youlun just patted him on the shoulder, said that the movie was well made, and then said a few words of encouragement.
Next was Yuan Heping, and Lin Youlun talked with him a lot, talking about a lot of action design issues.
Although the director of "Jingwu Heroes" is Chen Jiashang, the kind of blood-boiling rhythm in the film should be attributed more to Yuan Heping, Lin Youlun has a high evaluation of the action design in this movie, Yuan Heping is of course very happy when he hears that Lin Youlun attaches so much importance to himself.
Li Lianjie fell behind the most, Lin Youlun saw that his wrists covered by sleeves were still wrapped in gauze, and knew that the injuries he suffered during filming this film were not completely healed, so he asked about his injuries first.
After learning that Li Lianjie's injury was not in the way, Lin Youlun nodded reassuringly.
"Judging from the reaction of the audience today, the expectation of the box office performance of this movie should be very optimistic, of course, whether it is good or bad, this movie has been filmed, do you have any plans for the next step?"
Lin Youlun's words made Li Lianjie a little moved, so he didn't hide it and said all his recent thoughts.
"I'm going to take a break for a while, and then see how the final box office results of "Jingwu Heroes" are, I have been acting in various costume films for some time ago, and I actually want to transform this movie to see if modern fashion films can be accepted by everyone, if I can, I will consider continuing to make such movies in the future."
"What's next for you? If not, I'll take you to meet someone, and maybe you'll have a lot of topics in common. ”
After the premiere, Li Lianjie was already a little tired, and he was going to rest, but Lin Youlun said this, Li Lianjie was not easy to dispel his interest, and he was also very curious about who this person Lin Youlun was talking about.
——
Seeing that Lin Youlun really brought Li Lianjie, Huang Ziqiang was so excited that he stood up from his seat and walked over quickly, and then the first person to shake hands was Li Lianjie.
"Mr. Li, it's a good thing! Fortunately! ”
Seeing that Li Lianjie hesitated and didn't speak, Lin Youlun knew that he shouldn't know Huang Ziqiang, so he took the initiative to introduce him: "This is director Huang Ziqiang, Zhou Bili, who played against you in "Jingwu Hero", was famous for making his movies before. ”
As soon as Lin Youlun said this, Li Lianjie immediately had the impression that when chatting before, Zhou Bili had mentioned Huang Ziqiang to him.
Li Lianjie doesn't know much about Huang Ziqiang, but looking at Lin Youlun's appearance, he should value Huang Ziqiang's ability very much, so Li Lianjie and Huang Ziqiang are also very polite when they talk.
"I don't know which film company Director Huang has been helping to film recently?"
Zhou Bili once mentioned to Li Lianjie that he and Huang Ziqiang collaborated on two movies, after which Huang Ziqiang and Golden Harvest Company left after the contract expired, and then they did not continue to cooperate.
Li Lianjie asked about this just to learn more about Huang Ziqiang's background, to see which film company he has a close relationship with, who would have thought that Huang Ziqiang looked gloomy, giving people a feeling of frustration.
Li Lianjie immediately realized what the story should be, so he didn't continue to ask, but Lin Youlun knew that Huang Ziqiang's expression was because of something.
After Huang Ziqiang helped Golden Harvest finish filming the first and second parts of "Blade Warrior", he met Xu Ke, and the two weirdos hit it off, ready to remake the western film "Righteous Ambition", with the success of "The True Color of Heroes" in front, Huang Ziqiang was very much looking forward to this movie, but it backfired.
When Xu Ke and Huang Ziqiang collaborated on this movie, they made the same old mistake again, as a producer, they always like to meddle in the director's work, Huang Ziqiang and Xu Ke discuss problems together, and they often go in opposite directions.
Huang Ziqiang thinks of a story, usually thinks of the ending first, and then reversely completes the story, while Xu Ke likes to think of an opening, and then all kinds of whimsical ideas, so that the direction of the story is uncontrollable.
What gave Huang Ziqiang the most headache was that when he was filming, Xu Ke would often come over to discuss with him, saying, "Is it okay to shoot according to what I want?" Then Huang Ziqiang was very depressed, because Xu Ke asked him to shoot according to his idea the first day, and then today he changed his mind. In this way, the filming of a movie stopped, and it took nine months to call it a day.
After the release of the film, the results were not as good as Huang Ziqiang and Xu Ke expected, and the cooperation between the two came to an end.
I can't stand Xu Ke's strong production style and he said that it is not only Huang Ziqiang who worships him, but also has a close relationship like Wu Yusen, and in the end he did not break up with Xu Ke.
Huang Ziqiang himself didn't want to mention these things, and Lin Youlun certainly wouldn't take the initiative to say it.
The three of them sat down, and Huang Ziqiang said the purpose of asking Lin Youlun to find Li Lianjie this time.
"During this time, I have been thinking about a police movie, and then I want to make this movie into a realistic style action movie, today I specially watched "Jingwu Hero" starring Mr. Li, and I felt a lot, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in the subject matter I said?"
Li Lianjie couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard that it was a police movie, he was an actor from the mainland, and he had never been very emotional about playing a Hong Kong policeman, if he was asked to play a mainland policeman from a different angle, he might have a different attitude.
Of course, there is another reason that since Cheng Long filmed "Police Story", basically when everyone mentions the Hong Kong police, what immediately comes to mind is the image of the police that Cheng Long has played. In each of Cheng Long's action movies, his identity is basically related to the police, and Li Lianjie feels that it will be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in this role.
Lin Youlun saw Li Lianjie's hesitation, so he deliberately said: "Director Huang wants to find someone to play the policeman, isn't Cheng Long more suitable?" ”
When Li Lianjie heard this, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural. (To be continued......)
