Chapter 57: The Preparation of "Sword and Horse".

After seeing Lin Qingxia that day, Makucheng thought of the next movie "Dao Ma Dan" that he would cooperate with Xu Ke, and Makucheng also contacted Xu Ke afterwards to learn about his film preparations.

Xu Ke has been thinking about the next action since he filmed "The Working Emperor" in Xinyicheng in the summer, and "The True Color of Heroes", which was originally produced by him, was now made up in advance by Makucheng, but fortunately, Makucheng also compensated for "Sword and Horse" to him in advance, and chose to cooperate with him.

For the movie Dao Ma Dan, Xu Ke has attached great importance to it since he read the script. He feels that this script is very suitable for his long-standing philosophy, and if he can perfectly combine literature and martial arts action, it will be another new breakthrough and starting point.

Xu Ke is a person who pursues innovation, but also a person who dares to innovate, Hong Kong's first special effects blockbuster is "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" directed by him in 83. Although the final box office was not good, no one can deny that it was a breakthrough in the film industry.

"Sword and Horse" can be regarded as a literary action movie, literary drama and martial arts drama can be said to be equally important, and it is not easy to shoot it well. Although the funds from the brilliant company have long been in place, he did not do it in a hurry, and after getting the script, he has been trying to analyze and understand it, hoping to grasp the play more thoroughly.

The preparation for this drama is more complicated, Xu Ke and the studio staff have been making various preparations seriously, although the filming will not start immediately, but the actors' affairs should be confirmed first, and all aspects of training required by the plot should be started. Especially about the role of the white girl in the script, there are some basic skills that the actors are required to sing, which must be done in advance.

Xu Ke was also thinking about what kind of actor can meet the requirements of this drama during this time, first of all, the acting skills must be passed, so there is no need to elaborate on this. Secondly, it also needs to be famous, although this is a literary film, it must also be able to hold the scene. There will also be a lot of fights in the play, so the requirements of physical fitness, movement and other aspects must also be considered, and those actors who are delicate and can't endure hardships will naturally have to be excluded.

For the role of Bai Niu, after thinking about it carefully, Xu Ke immediately thought of a suitable actor. She is Ye Qianwen, last year he cooperated with him to shoot his studio's first film "Shanghai Night", Xu Ke had a very good image of her, not only singing very well, but also good acting skills, during the cooperation Ye Qianwen is very hard-working, very hard-working, very serious and responsible for work, his performance can be said to be quite OK in Xu Ke's eyes.

Ye Qianwen moved to Canada with her family when she was a child, and only returned to Taiwan to become a singer in 80, and transferred her acting career to Hong Kong in 84. In the same year, Ye Qianwen released her first Cantonese album, which caused quite a stir in Hong Kong and became famous. Because she has lived overseas since she was a child, she can neither speak Cantonese nor Chinese, and in the past two years in Hong Kong, she has also gained a lot of reputation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry with her own efforts and talents, and is considered by everyone to be a "ghost sister".

For such a beautiful and famous actor who grew up, has good acting skills and can endure hardships, and has also cooperated and given himself good senses, Xu Ke will naturally not forget.

Xu Ke is also the kind of person who does what he says, and since he thinks of it, he will contact him directly. Ye Qianwen still attaches great importance to Xu Ke's invitation, but after learning about the script and the details of the role that the other party invited him to participate in, Ye Qianwen did not reply immediately, saying that she would go back and think about it carefully, Xu Ke also understood her thoughts and expressed her willingness to wait for her reply.

After Ye Qianwen went back, she directly found her 'teacher', Lin Zixiang, a famous Hong Kong artist who is also known as a 'ghost guy', and discussed with him whether to participate in Xu Ke's play. Although she also took over several dramas this year, they failed to bring her greater benefits and influence.

The play that Xu Ke invited her to participate in can be regarded as a literary film, especially in the Hong Kong film industry, literary films are a big threshold, it is not like a commercial film, the box office is generally not too high, it pays more attention to the plot of the whole play, and the artistic conception and ideas expressed in the whole play, if this drama can be successful, it will naturally be fame and fortune, and it will be a big boost to his acting career, but it is this kind of literary film that is difficult to shoot well, and it belongs to the kind of thing that is either quiet and uncared for. or the type that has become famous and sensational, so Ye Qianwen has been hesitant, so she had to find Lin Zixiang as her staff officer.

And since Xu Ke contacted Ye Qianwen, he continued to think about how to deal with the next two actors. Yesterday, I received a call from Makujo asking about the preparations for this play, and Xu Ke also talked about his thoughts and suggestions with Makujo.

Makucheng also remembered to contact Xu Ke after meeting Lin Qingxia to ask about the movie. In addition, this movie originally had Lin Qingxia's participation, so Mu Cheng told Xu Ke about it and gave his own suggestions. There is also Xu Ke's invitation to Ye Qianwen to participate, and Mucheng also agrees, in my memory, it seems that Ye Qianwen has also been nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in this play, although she did not win the award in the end, but this is still a big honor, and it also proves Ye Qianwen's acting strength.

Xu Ke also knows her well about Lin Qingxia, who Mucheng said suggested to invite, and he has cooperated with her before, and he also admires her talent. Finally, combined with Makujo's suggestions and explanations, after synthesizing his own considerations and understanding, Xu Ke also agreed with Makujo's proposal to invite Lin Qingxia to join. Because Xu Ke has cooperated with Lin Qingxia, and Xu Ke himself is mainly responsible, so the invitation to her is naturally Xu Ke.

Regarding the last actress, Mu Cheng still chose Zhong Yihong according to his memory, and also put forward his own suggestions with Xu Ke, but he had his own deeper considerations for Zhong Yinhong to contact Curtain City by himself.

'Red Girl' Zhong Yinhong can be said to be the common idol star of Makucheng in both lifetimes, and she has always had different thoughts about Makucheng. Well! Don't think about it, it's not what you think, hehe.

There were only two Hong Kong actresses that Makucheng used to like the most, one was Zhou Huimin, who is now his girlfriend, and the other was Zhong Yinhong.

What Makujo likes is her natural, unpretentious surname, her curly hair, and a beautiful and delicate face, combined with the charming charm that naturally emanates, as well as her sincere, low-key, and indisputable surname.

Zhong Yihong is not only an excellent star artist, she is also a unique and distinctive female surname. is frank and straightforward, not delicate and pretentious, full of affinity, and has always been enthusiastically called 'Honggu' by everyone.

During the time that Zhong Yihong was in the film, she participated in a total of forty or fifty movies, during which many of the people she cooperated with were celebrities and famous directors, and she played a lot of classic movie roles during the period, which made everyone remember them until later generations.

It's a pity that she faded out of the entertainment industry early, and she was only 34 years old when she was officially in 94. Although there are endless outstanding artists in later generations, the classics that belong to her have never been forgotten.

If she hadn't opted out early, if she had been making movies, and if she had participated in those classic movies or roles, maybe she would not only be the surname 'Honggu' in Hong Kong's mind, but the surname 'Honggu' in the minds of everyone in Asia and the world.
