Chapter 04: The Five Poison Gates

For the first play in his life, Zhou Yi is very cautious, and he must choose a work that suits him and can make a name for himself, which naturally has to be carefully considered, especially considering the issue of age.

More importantly, taking into account the current fashion trend in China, you can't always make the first work on the street!

And the investment should be small, and the scene should be small.

It's best not to be too complicated at the beginning, and to be stable.

If it's too unbelievable, don't do it.

The most important thing is that the movie role should suit your own image, and you will definitely not act if you are short and poor, don't steal your job. It doesn't have to be a tall and majestic character, but at least a good character.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yi finally chose "Five Poison Gate", a famous cult movie in his previous life.

This movie is very bizarre and thrilling.

In his previous life, an American magazine ranked it as "the 11th most grotesque movie in the world".

The film is full of all kinds of strange and cruel props, such as the "Ten Thousand Needle Clothes" that break the toad qigong cover door, the "Throat Cutting Stick" and "Brain Piercing Needle" that kill people without a trace, and the "Thousand Layer Wet Paper Suffocation Method" that kills the muscular hunk man who was broken down the door.

Thinking about putting these things on the screen, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be a little excited.

If you make this movie, the age problem is not too big.

In his previous life, Jet Li filmed "Shaolin Temple" at the age of 19, why can't he shoot "Five Poisons" by himself? Zhou Yi felt that his current physical condition must be much stronger than Jet Li in his previous life, after all, he has been strengthened and transformed by xenomorphic energy, and has also undergone harsh training from terrorist organizations, and now he has passed the assessment of the military commander, so there is no problem at all.

With his age, he is currently more than enough to play the little brother in the film.

Although it is not the protagonist, there is no need to play the protagonist as soon as it debuts!

For Zhou Yi, this is not an important film.

Although the actors in the previous life were all in their 20s, if they were adjusted, it would have no effect, the age of the little junior brother should have been younger, and he didn't even need to change it with special makeup.

Zhou Yi carefully thought about the path he wanted to take in the future, and since he wanted to do this business, he would definitely use his advantages.

Spy movies, action movies, martial arts movies, kung fu movies, this is my main business.

Without a perfect superstar, it is impossible for him to act in any type of film.

It's good to start with this movie.

As long as the fighting scenes are rearranged and those outdated and backward martial arts methods are replaced, this is actually a very good film. In the previous life, technology developed later, but when it comes to the plot, most movies may not be able to catch up with the old films before.

As for whether it will be filmed or not, Zhou Yi is not worried.

After all, the cost of this movie is extremely low, there are not many actors, the scenes are very small, there is no place to use money at all, and there is no need to invite big-name stars, so there is no box office pressure at all. I wonder if this kind of weird cult film can still win by surprise, the test screening is successful, and it will hit the box office!

Anyway, they are also famous cult movies in their previous lives, ranking 11th!

How could it be bad?

As for the shooting equipment, studios, and behind-the-scenes personnel, the company has ready-made ones, so what can it cost?

The cost of group performances is negligible.

In this way, it is redundant to spend millions on this film.

Maybe it will cost some money on the later publicity, but that's nothing.

It is worth noting that the set and makeup in some parts of this film are very strange, which was very particular at the time, but it must be difficult for makeup artists and set designers in the new era, after all, technology is advancing, and it only takes a lot of effort.

It is enough to have a stylistically appropriate art director, plus a qualified art team.

That's about it.

In Zhou Yi's opinion, this movie has a very low cost, is simple to shoot, and is very suitable for his current acting skills and future development. In terms of shooting, the ordinary director of his own company is also enough to control it, and he will not be high and low or low-eyed.

If this film has a script and can't be filmed well, the director can die completely.

Zhou Yi currently only wants to be the emperor's superstar, but he doesn't want to be a director, so there is no point in being so omnipotent. There are good directors, and they can cooperate in the future, so there is no need to learn directing yourself. acting and directing, that is, when the acting career has come to an end, I really can't get mixed up, so I considered changing careers.

Zhou Yi plans to just be his own emperor superstar.

If you can help the military commander launder money, your position will be stable.

That's all that matters.

In fact, what films are popular now, Zhou Yi is very clear, like what hero films, gunfight films, police and bandit films, costume films, martial arts films, action movies, and romance films, they are all relatively marketable, but some films cost a lot, and he can't afford to play them now, so he definitely doesn't consider it.

As for small-budget films, they are nothing more than romance films and horror films.

In this magical market, there is never a shortage of classic cases that are small and big.

However, Zhou Yi considered his acting skills and future development, and decisively gave up the romance film, feeling unrealistic.

Like Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen in the previous life, etc., none of them acted well. The more famous characters, Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia, Ip Man or something, in fact, the acting skills are just like that. In terms of love, it is nothing more than respecting that a wife is a good man, and there is no difficulty. If you can play "one bottle is dissatisfied, half a bottle is wandering", you can win a piece of praise.

No one will demand them with the standards of actors.

Let them play Brokeback Mountain, play a clown or something, and still have to kill them?

Zhou Yi didn't want to elevate himself to the height of the god of acting, it was enough to have the success of Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung, as long as it was enough, after all, everyone took different paths, as long as they played well.

is like Tony Leung, no matter how good his acting skills are, who will appreciate the kung fu movies he acts?

Even if it is "The Grandmaster", the audience praises most of the lines, not his kung fu!

Of course, it will be better to go to Yanying to learn in the future and improve your acting skills.

Anyway, his goal is to help the military commander launder money, and he is not an actor, so presumably the military commander doesn't care whether he is an actor or not.

If you can't get the actor, you won't be shot!

From the current point of view, the classic cult work "Five Poisons" is at least stronger than some plasma horror films.

Anyway, it's a small cost!

After some consideration, Zhou Yi chose it and did not change it again.

Next, it's time to write the script.

This is a very simple job for Zhou Yi, you don't need a good writing, you just need to do a detailed character setting and script outline, and then fill in various backgrounds and details, in fact, this is a very boring job.

Fortunately, the awakened memory is very clear, and the script creation is naturally very reliable.

In this regard, Zhou Yi is very talented.

As your fingers tapped on the keyboard, lines of writing appeared inside the laptop's documents.

Scene I, Act I.

Location: A dark chamber.

Background: Quaint brick walls, weapon racks, stoves.

Characters: Yang De (a disciple of the Five Poisons Gate), an old man (the head of the Five Poisons Gate).

A fire suddenly flared up, and a medicine pot burned on it.

Yang De was dressed in white and was pulling the bellows.

The old man was naked~naked~ with his upper body, soaked in the bathtub, and his face was serious.

The tub is steaming.

Yang De sweated, tired, and wiped his forehead.

The old man looked up: Medicine, hurry, hurry.

YANG De; Oh.

Yang De ran over, picked up the huge medicine pot from the fire, and poured the hot potion into the bathtub.

The old man's expression was pained and patient.

Yang De put back the medicine pot, went back, and continued to pull the bellows.

Yang De: Master.

Old man: For the past few years, I have always wanted to save myself, but now it seems that I can't do it. Yang De, you have been apprenticed for three years, of course you know that I am the head of the Five Poisons Sect.

YD: Yes.

Old man: The Five Poisons Gate is on the rivers and lakes, it can be said that it is the public enemy of martial arts, you live in seclusion here with me, you can say the three words of the Five Poisons Gate, but as soon as you get to the rivers and lakes, as soon as the three words of the Five Poisons Gate are exported, there will be a disaster of killing immediately.

Zhou Yiyun pointed like flying, and wrote very smoothly.

Thanks to the transformation of high-dimensional xenogeneous energy, the memories of these past lives he dreamed in his dreams were very clear, as if they were imprinted in brain cells by mysterious high-dimensional energy waves, or some kind of strange genetic lock was opened.

Anyway, he just remembered, and even he didn't know what it was about.

It can only be said that the world is so big, there are no wonders, and the universe is wonderful and mysterious.

This is a rare opportunity in life! Is there any reason not to make good use of it?
