Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Black Fist is Finished
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Black Fist is Finished
"Song and dance films, mainly dance and music, as long as these two aspects are done well, the film is half the success." Liang Xiaolong said: "As for directing, you should have studied it, right?" Anne said: "It's still in the theoretical stage. Liang Xiaolong smiled: "That's it, I don't have directing experience, "Police and Thieves" is still a big hit at the box office." When the time comes, I will give you an assistant director to make up for your shortcomings in this regard. Anne said: "You have said so, it would be too hypocritical for me to refuse again, I will take this job." ”
Liang Xiaolong said: "Let me first state that this is definitely a kung fu dance film, so you should take advantage of the time I wrote the script to have a deeper understanding of Chinese kung fu." In particular, the use of some cold weapons, after being integrated into the dance, has a high appreciation surname, and the theme of the film also radiates more widely, which is not easy to cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue. Anne said: "I will do my best, in addition, it is best to let Wu Jing play the leading role, with him on the side, the integration of kung fu and dance will be more perfect." Liang Xiaolong said: "Let's talk about the selection when the time comes, if Wu Jing has other film appointments, I would prefer to let him out, rather than being bound by Yanhuang Film Company." ”
It is not what Liang Xiaolong wants to let Wu Jing be the protagonist of his own script, let Wu Jing go out on his own, gradually determine his status in Hollywood, and extradite other Chinese movie stars, so as to create a cycle of good surnames, otherwise others will only say that the reason why Wu Jing can become popular in Hollywood is only because Liang Xiaolong is covered. Moreover, Liang Xiaolong believes that after the release of "Black Fist", those big companies will definitely be anxious to find Wu Jing to film, otherwise it can only mean that those big companies are blind.
As for the script, Liang Xiaolong is not worried, there are not a few song and dance films he has watched in his previous life, just adapt it, and leave the dance aspect to Anne, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. Of course, it is impossible for the film to be filmed immediately, because Yanhuang Film Company has no money, so it can only wait for "Black Fist" to be released and get the box office dividends to have the funds to start the new film.
As the last shot fell, "Black Fist" was officially announced, from 2.9 to 3.29, which lasted fifty days, not to mention the cumbersome process, and a big mess, but on the whole, the shooting went smoothly and there were no accidents. Of course, the crew was very busy during this period, especially Wu Jing and Jessica, who not only had to participate in filming, but also rehearsed dances, and had little leisure time at all.
The film is finished, so naturally you have to hold a celebration banquet, Liang Xiaolong will never be stingy in this regard, although good wine and good food are served, I am not afraid that you will eat more and waste, I am afraid that you will not eat or drink and not waste. The boss is generous, and the employees will naturally not be polite, as the so-called big eaters must be ruthless, anyway, big households are not poor. Wu Jing came over with a wine bottle again: "Captain, have a drink first." Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "I know, after this cup, there will be the next one, even if I let the horse come, I will continue today." Wu Jing glanced at him: "Still continue?" I don't know who was the first to pee away at the celebration banquet of "The Police and the Thief". ”
Liang Xiaolong said righteously: "I was drunk. Wu Jing said: "It's drunk, drunk so sober, so drunk that I can't shake when I walk." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "I just drink it, can I hold on to my pigtails?" Jessica popped up: "Someone is so slippery that you can only hold on to your pigtails to get him into line." Liang Xiaolong was so angry that he picked up the wine bottle: "Little sister, have a drink." Jessica giggled: "People are not yet of the legal drinking age, you don't want to bring bad underage beautiful girls." Liang Xiaolong snorted: "I don't know who and Kayla hid in the corner to drink secretly at the last celebration banquet, and they still pretend to be very conscious, hey...... People's hearts are not ancient. ”
Jessica categorically denied this: "I didn't drink it, I just watched the witch drink it." Liang Xiaolong was amused, it turns out that Hollywood beauties like to play a little scoundrel, Jessica is like this, and Julia is the same: "Little sister, why do you say that I am also a director, and the director's face can't be ignored, right?" Wu Jing accosted on the side: "Unspoken rules, unspoken rules of all evils." Liang Xiaolong kicked him angrily: "Am I so unbearable?" I curse you to meet a female director in the next film, or a director with the same surname, and then give you unspoken rules. ”
Wu Jing smiled: "If it's a beautiful director, I don't mind." Jessica made a disgusted look: "Man, there is really no good thing." Liang Xiaolong said happily: "Women will say that men don't have a good thing, but women can't do without men, so are men good things, or do women like bad things?" Wu Jing said: "Men are not bad, women are not loved, it can be seen that women and women like bad things." Jessica smiled: "Sure enough, it's two stinky men, and they have a set of crooked reasons." But are we women inseparable from men? Can you men be separated from women? But in the final analysis, it is still us women who suffer, men love women, most of them are based on appearance, and they leave after eating and wiping dry, women love men with all their hearts, but you stinky men still take this for granted. ”
Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "How sour this sounds, like a deep resentful woman." Jessica gave him a blank look: "You are the deep resentful husband, this is summed up by our thousands of ladies, I just take it as a lesson, don't let you stinky men [***] hurt you." Liang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Girl, forget after hearing some words, if you really have this kind of thought, then congratulations, you can go to be a nun." Wu Jing quipped: "Yes, Jesse, you are so beautiful, you are going to run away to become a nun, there will definitely be many people running to the church every day, and the holy light of Jesus will be able to spread more widely." ”
Jessica glared at the two stinky men with hatred, and decisively changed the topic when one was invincible: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, captain, what are the shooting plans for the second half of the year?" Liang Xiaolong said: "Wait for "Black Fist" to be released, the company doesn't even have the money to make a movie now, what about you?" There's a film appointment, right? Jessica said: "I have already taken over the filming of a comedy "Angel Michael" from New Line Film Company, and when it will be released at the end of the year, the captain will attend the premiere and cheer up. ”
New Line Film Company is a subsidiary of Warners, and Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" in the previous life was from the company, but for "Angel Michael", Liang Xiaolong had only heard of this film in his previous life, and had not seen it: "Of course, I will definitely go to see your wonderful performance on the screen when the time comes, Wu Jing, what about you?" Wu Jing said: "Fox wanted to invite me to shoot an action movie, but I refused. Liang Xiaolong was stunned: "Isn't this a good thing?" Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "Fox only gave me a salary of $3 million. ”
Liang Xiaolong couldn't help complaining, filming "Black Fist", Wu Jing's box office was 2.5 million US dollars, but everyone could see that when "Black Fist" was released, Wu Jing's salary could be at least doubled, and Fox only took three million, which was simply a robbery: "Then you will hang them first, and when "Black Fist" is released, they will raise the salary themselves without even you opening your mouth." Wu Jing said: "I think so too, so I'm not in a hurry to take the film." ”
The three of them hadn't been talking for long before Danny came over with a wine bottle: "Wu Jing, Jesse, you two are too bad, the captain's wine glass is still full." Liang Xiaolong glanced at him: "What's the matter?" Do you still want to fight with me? Danny smiled and suddenly shouted, "Guys, the captain is going to fight with us, do you dare to fight?" Someone immediately shouted: "The captain is very strong in the ring, but not necessarily at the wine table, let's take him down today." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly, the director is always the most hurt when everything is celebrated: "Okay, guys, one cup per person." ”
Wu Jing shouted at the right time: "Someone's favorite thing is to pee away after clearing the customs in the big circle, don't let him escape." Liang Xiaolong glared at him fiercely, and was actually calculated by this guy: "Don't listen to Wu Jing's nonsense, I will accompany you to the end today, who will come first?" ”
Who comes first? These words were shouted quite imposingly, but the wine table was not a ring, whoever shouted first was unlucky, and whoever dared to be tough fell down, and after a circle, nearly ten bottles of beer went down, Liang Xiaolong hurriedly ran to the bathroom, and if he didn't expel it, he had to kill himself. But Danny wasn't ready to let him go like that: "Guys, look at it, don't let this guy pee, we have to guard it tightly, and try not to let the flies fly out all the time." Liang Xiaolong turned around and roared, "Danny, dare to compare me to a fly, you will look good in a while." Wu Jing shouted: "The autumn wind blows, the war drums are beating, and who is afraid of the wine table." ”
Yes, at the wine table, as long as you want to drink, as long as you dare to drink, there is no such thing as who is afraid of whom, not to mention that Liang Xiaolong is besieged, and everyone has long wanted to knock down this guy who usually calls for wind and rain on the set. When he came out of the bathroom, everyone began to toast again, "Captain, have a good career." "Captain, I wish "Black Fist" a box office hit." "Captain, fall in love forever." There are all kinds of excuses, and in the end, Liang Xiaolong no longer knows who is toasting, as long as he sees a cup in front of him, he will pick it up and do it...... until I was completely dizzy......
"It's not good now, who will send the captain back?" Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that the drunk man was either drunk or like a dead pig, and the captain was already drunk to death, should he be carried back? Danny said: "Don't be so troublesome, just open a room in the hotel and let him rest." Wu Jing said: "I'll help him up." Jessica also said: "You are alone, you can carry it about the same, I will help you." ”
opened the room and sent Liang Xiaolong to bed, but as soon as this guy lay down, he vomited, Wu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, take off his shirt and pull off the sheets." Despite this, there was still some residue on the floor, which tasted very bad, and Jessica said, "I'll clean it up, if you want to drink, go and continue." Wu Jing said: "Okay, anyway, there is nothing to do, I'll go first." ”
Walking out of the door and closing the door with his hand, Wu Jing laughed wickedly: "Wine can mess with surnames...... Lonely Men and Widows......**...... Hey hey ......"
