"The True Colors of Heroes?" When Xu Hark saw this name, he was naturally stunned. Because in 1967 and 1974, there was a movie called "The True Color of Heroes" was released. However, the box office results do not seem to be ideal.

Lu Yan had also done a lot of work before, and he also saw Tsui Hark's puzzled expression in his eyes and said: "It's just the same name, I'm not a remake, the content is all new." ”

Hearing this, Tsui Hark nodded and didn't speak, but just began to read the script seriously.

Lu Yan naturally knew Tsui Hark, so he just sat quietly like that and didn't say a word again.

Sometimes time does feel long and short for people who are doing different things. Just like Lu Yan at this time, he stared at Tsui Hark's changing expression, but he always felt that the other party's reading time was a little long.

And Tsui Hark, who was already deeply attracted by the script of "The True Color of Heroes", didn't know it.

Just when Tsui Hark turned to the last page, Lu Yan was ready to listen to Tsui Hark's words. Unexpectedly, Tsui Hark stiffened his face and turned the script to the first page again.

"Phew!" Tsui Hark, who sighed, looked up after reading the script of "The True Color of Heroes" twice.

"You don't owe anything, I never force my friends to do things I don't want to do, I have my own principles, I don't want to be trampled under my feet for the rest of my life, you think I'm stinky and begging for food, I have waited for three years, just to wait for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove that I am amazing; I'm here to tell people that I have to get back what I lost! ”

The first sentence that came out of Tsui Hark's mouth, Lu Yan never imagined that it was a line in his script. However, although he didn't understand what Tsui Hark meant, he still waited patiently for the following.

Maybe Tsui Hark didn't know that he had lit several cigarettes in a row when he was seriously reading the script just now.

Lighting one for himself again, Tsui Hark asked, "Yan Zai, how did you come up with the idea of writing such a story!?" ”

"I think that in fact, deep down in every man's heart, there are heroic plots. Heroes can prove that men should have the flesh and bones, chivalrous and soft-hearted, and it is not an empty word. It's not a friendship that only exists in costume films, but it actually exists in modern society. And I wrote "The True Colors of Heroes" in the hope of illustrating this point. Brother Hao was imprisoned and wanted to change his life after he got out. For his rivers and lakes, but also for his lost brother. And the character of Pony is my allegorical meaning to many low-level people in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people who have suffered hardships should be more able to appreciate the taste of "lying on the salary and tasting the gall". When Brother Hao saw that the pony was bowing down to the enemy, he was even insulted. The emotion when it becomes a stark contrast to the pony who dominates the rivers and lakes. I want to tell you what reality is, this is reality! It's cruel and heart-wrenching, and it's sobering. Lu Yan stared at Tsui Hark's eyes, and poured out the words in his heart. In the tone, there is a bit of maturity and catharsis. What I experienced yesterday suddenly made me, a young man who is still a little stranger to Hong Kong, grow up a lot.

The original Tsui Hark just asked briefly, and after listening to Lu Yan's words, he felt a little shocked. He can understand the ambitions and ideals in the heart of this young boy in front of him, and how many years ago he was not like this.

Tsui Hark, who had been sitting there for a long time, could only sigh and say: "Yan Zai, if you were a screenwriter when you first entered the industry, you should be a hot figure in the circle now!" I want to take this kind of script and shoot it once I read it. ”

Tsui Hark's emotion made Lu Yan's heart tighten, but he smiled lightly: "There are actually many good scripts, but I have hoped to use the camera to shoot one story after another since I was a child!" ”

"To be honest, I was quite worried when you told me I was going to write my own script. Even when I started reading your script just now, I thought that if there was something wrong, I would personally help you change it. But after reading this script throughout, I really didn't dare to change a word. Tsui Hark did have such a plan, but after reading the script, he was surprised. He couldn't figure out how Lu Yan could write such a perfect script at a young age.

"There's nothing wrong with the script at all, even if you put it in front of any director right now. After reading the script, they will definitely try their best to shoot! In the next few days, I will take it to Huang Baiming and them to see, and set your shooting schedule in advance. Of course, it must be after the New Year. Speaking of this, Xu Ke paused, frowned and continued: "Of course, the budget estimate of fifteen million will be a little difficult. After all, even if we have a big production every year in New Art City, it's about the same budget. Not to mention, you know, they are passionate about comedy. Now that Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" is so hot at the box office, I am afraid that they will not dare to take risks. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly said a little anxiously: "Director, this budget can only be more, not less." Otherwise, I can't shoot a lot of big scenes. ”

"I'll try to help you get it!" For the investment budget, Tsui Hark did not dare to guarantee the ticket. After all, he is not the boss, not to mention how much money those few will invest in the movies in the coming year.

After all, in terms of funds, Shi Nansheng is more clear. So Lu Yan had no choice but to nod and pin his hopes on Tsui Hark.

For "The True Color of Heroes", Lu Yan himself has great expectations. He had even figured out a way out, if the budget was less than fifteen million. Then he would rather not shoot, or find a way to find other investors to invest. He doesn't want a former classic to be ruined in his own hands.

In fact, Lu Yan didn't know that even John Woo in his previous life was suffering a lot when he filmed "The True Colors of Heroes". None of the investors were willing to pay for the film, and the screenwriters didn't bother to write. In the end, it was John Woo and Tsui Hark who forced out this script. It was precisely because there were no investors to invest that they found Leslie Cheung. The reason why the original "True Colors of Heroes" was successful was because of Leslie Cheung's influence in the music industry.

Lu Yan didn't know how much effort he still needed to put into his first work, but he knew he needed to work hard. For his own dreams, and for the creation of such a classic.

Tsui Hark looked at the passionate young boy in front of him, and suddenly laughed and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I know you must have put a lot of effort into this script." Bring the cast as well! I'm guessing you've already chosen the actors for your films. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan showed a slight embarrassed smile. He took out the cast list that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket and handed it to Tsui Hark very calmly.

In his mind, these actors are all classics in "The True Color of Heroes" in the future. But when Tsui Hark spread out the cast, he was taken aback.

[Temporarily on Sanjiang, surprised! ] Here, I hope you can support us a lot. Farewell: Tickets after 12 o'clock, let us keep this hard-won newcomer first. Like Xue also heard from others, only to know that she actually climbed to the first. Thank you for your support, I will work hard! 】
