Chapter 222: The King of Comedy
In Hong Kong, Li Fan sat in front of a man with a baseball cap and looked a little taciturn, and his childhood memories seemed to come flooding out like a blowout. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He's full of mistakes.
He is the suave Tang Bohu.
He is the all-powerful Sun Dasheng.
He is......
He never gives up... The King of Comedy!
Li Fan stretched out a hand and shook it vigorously
"Master Xing, I'm really happy to see you! I'm a fan of yours! The kind of brain-dead powder! Still owes a lot of brainless fans for movie tickets! ”
Stephen Chow is different from what he showed in the movie, and he can even be said to be shy, and he also smiled
"Then my new movie, Mermaid, has just been released. Mr. Li needs to watch it a few more times. Make up for me. ”
Li Fan proudly took out his mobile phone and raised it
"Master Xing, I directly reported ten games! However, Master Xing, this time I really plan to make up for it. ”
Stephen Chow was slightly stunned, and then reacted
"Is Mr. Li looking for me to make a movie? I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of making a movie at the moment, after all, I'm older, and I'm more like thinking about directing. ”
Li Fancan's eyes stared at Stephen Chow's eyes tightly, and asked in a deep voice
"Master Xing, don't you want your movie to go to the world?"
Stephen Chow's eyes began to become confused, and he walked towards the world.... It had always been his dream.
After filming Shaolin football, he was full of hope that this Shaolin football could open the door to the European and American markets, but the reality gave him a heavy punch. The North American box office was only $489,600.
A few years later, Stephen Chow made a comeback, relying on kung fu to rush to the highest box office of Chinese films in North America in history.
But even the all-time high, he grossed just over $17 million, compared to $400 million for Shrek, the highest monster box office that year, and Kung Fu only ranked 96th in the 2004 North American box office charts. It symbolizes the Chinese culture going to the world.
In Stephen Chow's own opinion, it is still a failure, and there is no reason for failure, there is no so-called cultural difference, there is no so-called appreciation level, he only thinks that he is not good enough, that's all.
So when Li Fan once again proposed to make his movie go to the world, it aroused the deepest desire buried in Stephen Chow's heart.
If one day .... I can be on top of the world..... Shout out that sentence to everyone
"If you don't have a dream, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?
I'm the king of comedy! ”
But I'm old, and I can't fight like I used to, and I can't be unscrupulous and funny. So he buried all his hopes in the film he directed, but the day of success is still far away.
Li Fan quietly waited for the king of comedy to recall the past.
After a long time, Stephen Chow came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Li Fan
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm afraid I can't promise you..... Because I'm old.... Let the young people realize this dream......."
Li Fan stood up suddenly, looked at Stephen Chow, whose gray hair was full of old age, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said word by word
"No, who said you're old? You will always be the king of comedy in our hearts! This time, I'll push you to the top of the world with my own hands! Master Xing, I'll give you a year of youth, is it enough? ”
A year of youth? Stephen Chow raised his head and looked at Li Fan in surprise, his eyes revealed an incomparably firm look, he didn't quite understand what he said, like a young man? If I could go back... I'm afraid I'm not willing to give up like that......
Li Fan pointed into a sword, a little light slowly appeared on his fingertips, and he said softly
"Human life, to absorb countless energy, the food we eat contains much more energy than we consume, most of the escape after a small part of the remains in our body unknown, only in the moment before death will burst out, this energy is so huge, even can transcend life and death in an instant.
But if you awaken this power while your functions are still basically intact, you will return to the best time of your body, and the process will continue... About a year, and there are no side effects. So.... I will give you a year of youth. Let you fight for the top again!
Taoism... Back to light in an instant....."
Li Fan's flickering fingers lightly touched Stephen Chow's eyebrows, as if a wonderful switch was turned on, little by little white light appeared, Stephen Chow's gray hair was rapidly turning black, and the wrinkles on his face were disappearing rapidly.
Stephen Chow was shocked to feel that his aging body had reappeared with strength, and even his hands were slowly becoming delicate, like... It's like the best years of the beginning, full of vitality. It always exudes a spirit of never admitting defeat.
He hurried to the mirror and looked in the mirror at the young and energetic man in the mirror, but with a calmness that had been washed away by the years and obviously did not match his face. Turning around, he asked incoherently, trembling and unremarkable
"It's... This is.... I... Am I rejuvenated? ”
Li Fan withdrew his finger and nodded with a smile
"That's right, it's rejuvenated, but this state can only be maintained... A year or so. So Master Xing, promise me now? ”
Stephen Chow clenched his fists, and his heart suddenly surged with infinite fighting spirit again.
"That.. I'll fight again. ”
Then the mood fell again.
"Alas.... But I can't guarantee that it will work. ”
Li Fan patted his head, and then remembered that because he was too excited to see Xing Ye, he didn't even show Stephen Chow the big killing weapon. Li Fan handed the VR glasses to Stephen Chow and motioned for him to bring them to feel it.
It didn't take long for Stephen Chow to take off his glasses, his mouth still wide open because of excessive surprise.
Li Fan asked with a smile
"Master Xing, are you confident this time?"
Stephen Chow, whose worldview was greatly impacted, muttered to himself
"With ..... As long as there is this, I'm afraid that any movie will be successful......."
Then he said excitedly
"There's a mess! Mr. Li, what are we shooting? ”
Li Fan looked at him and said firmly
"Journey to the West, remastered!"
"Journey to the West...... Stephen Chow's eyes began to diverge again, obviously remembering something. Journey to the West was actually not a success when it was released, and it didn't become popular again until a few years later, and finally became an indelible classic in the hearts of the post-80s and 90s.
When I was ten years old, we laughed and watched Journey to the West.
When we were twenty years old, we still smiled and watched Journey to the West, but there was a little empathy in our smiles.
It wasn't until we were smoothed out by society, tasted the bitterness of society, and finally chose to be a dog for some things and some people, that our smiles finally turned into tears in laughter.
Stephen Chow looked at Li Fan and said seriously
"If it's a big story about Journey to the West, I hope to be able to get all the original actors back, and still shoot at the Xi'an Film and Television Base, I don't want it to lose its taste."
Li Fan said affirmatively
"That's for sure, at this time... I'm afraid they've already been invited! ”
So the two looked at each other and smiled.
At the same time, under the efforts of Yan Chenglong, the two giants Wanda and Ali, who took out all his family resources for the first time for the "master".
Wu Mengda, Zhu Yin, Mok Wenwei, Lan Jieying, Luo Jiaying....... Including director Liu Zhenwei and so on, all received invitations!
After 20 years, the Dahua team reunited.
The movie has made a successful start, and now it's time to see the promotion of Ali and Wanda. (To be continued.) )
