Chapter 251: You Should Make a Better Movie
"Cut" When Yu Rentai shouted again, Gao Zhisen shouted: "Atai is here, Yanzai is here"
In fact, Yu Rentai had already discovered the arrival of Lu Yan and Gao Zhisen later, so he was quite strict with the one just now. 【】I heard Gao Zhisen shouting to himself, so he hurriedly came over to say hello to Lu Yan and said, "Yan Zai, now it's our Boss Lu."
"Brother Tai, you don't come to make fun of me. What do you think of this movie? ”
When Yu Rentai heard this, he obviously felt the questioning tone in Lu Yan's mouth. He looked at Gao Zhisen next to him again, and immediately understood, and said with a dry smile: "It's really average."
""Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" is temporarily suspended, you can come to my office to talk about the shooting problem in the evening" After Lu Yan finished speaking, he went up and patted Yu Rentai's shoulder with a smile and whispered in his ear: "Brother Tai, you can shoot better works." Shooting such a movie, it is not only the actors who ruin it, but also the director, of course, you don't have to rush to say anything. Come to my office in the evening and we can have a good talk......"
Hearing this, Yu Rentai could only glance at Gao Zhisen with a wry smile.
"Atai, we should have known a long time ago." Gao Zhisen could only smile wryly, and he knew the style that Yan Zai was used to. It's just that he thought that after all, the movie started filming first, and the merger of Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company came later. It stands to reason that Lu Yan should not interfere with the filming of "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes".
It's just that he underestimated Lu Yan's fancy for Li Guohao, so this movie is destined to run aground under such production accuracy

"Who's that guy over there?"
Li Guohao's Cantonese is not good, and he can only speak a few simple sentences. So when they usually shoot, Yu Rentai and they all have an interpreter by his side. Fortunately, there are many people in Debao Film Company who can speak English, and in fact, many people in Hong Kong can speak English. Although many people in the entertainment industry are not well educated, there is no problem with new (wave) directors like Tsui Hark.
Hearing Li Guohao's question, Chen Huimin, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lu Yan is about the same age as you, but he is the highest-grossing director in Hong Kong now." The last time I took you to see "The True Colors of Heroes", he filmed"
"Oh......" Li Guohao looked curiously at Lu Yan, who was communicating with Gao Zhisen and them. Immediately remembered and said, "I saw him in the newspaper a few days ago, and now he is the boss."
"Yes, so he's the producer of this movie."
"It's amazing"
Hearing this appreciation, Chen Huimin deliberately smiled and said: "He is really good, not only good at making movies." And the fist and foot kung fu is also very good, and the practice is Xingyi boxing. If you have a chance, you can talk to him."
"Really?" Chen Huimin's kung fu, Li Guohao knows. Then even Chen Huimin said so, and there is no need to question Lu Yan's kung fu.
In this regard, Li Guohao has inherited Bruce Lee's characteristics very well. That is the obsession with martial arts and kung fu, and when he was in the United States, he would practice Jeet Kune Do every day. From time to time, I compete with some people
So hearing Chen Huimin say this, Li Guohao was a little excited.
……………………………………
Not to mention that it is in the film industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that all Hong Kong knows Lu Yan now. As the holder of the box office record of the movie, Lu Yan is naturally well-deserved.
When communicating with Gao Zhisen and them, Lu Yan also clearly felt that Li Guohao and they were looking this way
"Brother Sen, go and talk to Brother Min and them" Lu Yan said this, and suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, call Li Guohao to me"
"I knew you were coming for Li Guohao" Gao Zhisen smiled when he heard this, and then asked, "Are you really optimistic about him?" In fact, except for Bruce Lee's son, his acting skills are indeed too tender"
"Everyone has a beginning, and I was quite optimistic about him."
Hearing this, Gao Zhisen and Yu Rentai looked at each other and smiled, and then stopped saying anything more stubborn Lu Yan, there was no need to continue such a topic. Otherwise, there would be no Chow Yun-fat, Dillon and Leslie Cheung at the beginning, and there would be no next Wang Zuxian

When the staff saw Gao Zhisen and Yu Rentai coming over, they hurriedly asked, "Director, producer, are you going to shoot below?" ”
"No, you pack up your equipment. I won't shoot for the time being" Saying that, Yu Rentai suddenly said to Li Guohao: "Guohao, you should already know who he is" He looked at Lu Yan and smiled again: "You go over, he said he wants to talk to you"
After Li Guohao nodded and passed, Yu Rentai smiled bitterly at Chen Huimin and them: "Brother Min, you guys will go back and wait for news recently, Yan Zai said that this movie will be temporarily suspended."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the others suddenly changed greatly. They couldn't have imagined that half of the filming of "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" would not be filmed? Although they are getting a salary, aren't they just like working for nothing?
Everyone's eyes suddenly drifted to Lu Yan's side, could it be that the funds in the early stage were simply just counted like this?
Is it because the shooting is too bad?
It is estimated that there is only such a reason, although this boss Lu is not very clear about the concept of the movie, he knows it. At least every movie that Dongcheng Imaging takes out is a masterpiece. At the press conference some time ago, Lu Yan also said that he would uphold the film model of excellent production
"Atai, isn't that a pity?" Chen Huimin frowned and asked with a sigh, "Isn't there any room for maneuver?" ”
For Chen Huimin, if it is replaced by another director. It is estimated that when he heard such news, he would have been angry a long time ago. But the other party was Lu Yan, and Lu Yan asked to stop filming him Chen Huimin, but he really didn't know what to say for a while
Although he has not cooperated with Bruce Lee, his admiration for Bruce Lee is certain. This rare opportunity to cooperate with Bruce Lee's son is also a long-cherished wish. After all, he is an actor, and even a character like Chen Huimin hopes that he can be popular and enjoy the feeling of being a movie star...... Although, he is even more majestic in the eyes of those movie stars......
"Yes, yes, director, producer, let's talk to Boss Lu"
"We've been filming for so long, it's a shame that we stopped filming halfway through."
"Why our film? I haven't heard of any other movies that are going to stop filming."
"It's just that our movie is more selling than those movies."
"Director, don't you and Boss Lu have the same friendship?"
"Why ......"
…………………………………………………
The staff said that the filmmakers of this period, even if they were small enough to be ordinary staff, loved movies very much. In addition to making money, why aren't they fulfilling one of their dreams, maybe for various reasons, they can't become movie actors. For the time being, I can't be a director, and I can't shoot the movie I have in mind. But when participating in the production of a movie, they naturally have a little bit of love
Now a movie they've been working on for a long time is going to run aground? Whoever it is, it's more unacceptable
Of course, Gao Zhisen and Yu Rentai can also understand everyone's feelings, and what they need to do at this time is to appease the emotions of these staff and actors: "Actually, we really didn't care about filming this movie, so it was also our expectation that Yan Zai asked for a shutdown." The script is too old-fashioned and the plot is too monotonous. In addition, I am very lenient in terms of shooting requirements...... Of course, Yan Zai also said it. It's just a temporary shutdown, maybe the script will be revised, and other scenes can be supplemented and filmed, so don't worry, wait for our news in the next few days."
"That's fine"
"Then the director will be stricter"
"That's it" Chen Huimin also nodded, and said as if it should be like this: "Atai, if you have any opinions, just put them forward." Those of us who are actors, of course, obey the director's arrangement."
"I think, Boss Lu has a crush on Li Guohao, after all, he is Bruce Lee's son, does Director Lu want to make him a new generation of stars?"
In fact, although everyone is a staff member, many of them have a keen sense of smell. What's more, Lu Yandu simply called Li Guohao over, isn't this already a clear attitude
"Brother Min, what do you think of Guohao?" Gao Zhisen asked with a smile, Chen Huimin is the one who plays against Li Guohao the most
"Fist and foot kung fu is absolutely no problem, but the acting skills are still a little worse." Speaking of this, Chen Huimin himself laughed and said: "Of course, I am also a half-tone"
"Brother Min, this is too modest, you have been in the film for so many years, and you are still our seniors."
"You're making fun of me for making Fengyue movies before"
Chen Huimin's words immediately amused many of the staff around him to laugh.
In fact, when everyone first cooperated with this club boss, they were a little scared. After all, the (black) society is not a good person in everyone's heart. But after being in contact with Chen Huimin for a long time, I found that this Brother Min had no frame at all. And when everyone is in trouble, he will help.
Every time I take a break, I listen to him talk about the past and so on. He also tells jokes from time to time, and he is very kind to people, and it is precisely because of this that Chen Huimin is still very popular with everyone on the set of "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes".

"Boss"
As soon as Li Guohao opened his mouth, it was standard American English, which made Lu Yan, who was used to speaking Cantonese, stunned for a moment. However, with only a little English, it is still difficult for Lu Yan to say: "Li Guohao, we are about the same age, just call me Yanzai." You don't have to learn from them, right. What do you think it's like to make a movie? ”
"Very good" Speaking of filming, Li Guohao still showed great affection and said: "I have also run some kung fu movies in the United States before, but it is very boring"
Hearing this, Lu Yan laughed and said, "The reason why you are boring is because they always want you to imitate your father Bruce Lee, right?" The non-stop movements, the monotonous repetition...... Actually, it's not a movie, it's a huge burden for you."
"En......" Li Guohao has actually avoided mentioning his father Bruce Lee, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to talk about it. It's just that every time everyone sees him, the first thing they mention is Bruce Lee. It's the same when he entered the film industry, when he first took over this movie, everyone asked Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee...... He hopes that he can have his own achievements, not his father when everyone sees him.
This is the momentum of a young man, but also an ambition
It's a pity that at least he doesn't have the ability now, and he's still working hard for his dreams. His father, Bruce Lee is so blessed that when it comes to Bruce Lee, people all over the world will know who it is
"Guohao, I decided to stop filming this "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes"" Lu Yan ignored Li Guohao's puzzled expression and continued: "The main reason that prompted me to make such a decision is because you are the protagonist"
"Why?" Li Guohao spread his hands and said very understandably: "Why? I'm acting very hard, is it because I'm not acting well enough? ”
"No, no, it's not like this" When Lu Yan heard this, he immediately explained with a smile: "It's that I'm optimistic about your potential, and this movie is not for you." It's a bad movie, yes, it's a bad movie, its storyline is old-fashioned, and your director is not strict with you at all. The movie made like this won't be a blockbuster, do you want to star in a bad movie? Of course, part of the reason why I'm optimistic about you is because you're Bruce Lee's son. But it's not just your pressure, it's something that should be your motivation. You want to make a better movie, so that everyone can talk about Bruce Lee and say: Look, that's Li Guohao's father, I'm sure you want to do the same, but this dream is a bit far away. Step by step, you will achieve it, believe me, you should make better films, of course, before that I want you to get orthodox training. To be honest, your acting skills are really terrible for me, your kung fu is very good, and you play beautifully. But acting, I really don't dare to compliment sorry, I'm telling the truth but, you should think about it"
Li Guohao was stunned, and had to say that Lu Yan's words really pierced his heart. He stood there without saying a word, just looking at Lu Yan like this.
