It was definitely an unexpected surprise to be able to meet Zhong Chuhong at dinner; And being able to make friends with Zhong Chuhong is even more joyful.

After a rather pleasant dinner, Li Yihua returned home. Relieved from the excitement, Li Yihua began to devote himself to the script, and to improve the context of the whole story, at least it must look like it. The enrichment of other storylines will be left to the screenwriting department to improve, and you must know that there is great power in numbers.

wrote until more than 10 o'clock, Li Yihua woke up from the world of the script again, looked at the almost finished script, and showed a smile on his face, this is the script he wrote, although it is not perfect, but he did his best.

Now that the script is complete, the next step is to start choosing roles.

The actors of "This Man is from Earth" don't need any big names, but they have to be full of tension between their gestures. You must know that this movie depends on the skills of the actors, if there are no good actors, no matter how good the script is, it is destined to hit the street.

John's composure through 10,000 years, Edith's fear when his faith is subverted, and Will's psychological imbalance when facing the Eternals, are all wonderful. This is a philosophical debate, and there are no science and engineering experts among these professors, but social scientists, archaeologists, anthroposociologists, psychologists, and even university students, religious people, and so on. It's all about acting through your face, or you have to communicate with your eyes, and you can't control it if you don't have super high acting skills.

Fundamentally, this is just a little trick to put a legendary figure who has lived for 14,000 years in modern society, and the film is conceived from a humanistic perspective rather than from a scientific point of view.

To a certain extent, this movie will give us a revelation that the truly shocking art form is not the gorgeous and luxurious computer special effects, but the ideological edge that can penetrate people's surnames.

John's character is the key to the whole film, and through his words, it resonates the most. The immortal body has witnessed many historical miracles that we have not had the opportunity to see, he was the Buddha, befriended Van Gogh, Huo Quai, Li Bai, etc.; And in the distant future, he will also experience countless scientific miracles that we cannot see. As early as the time of Qin Shi Huang, human beings have pursued eternal life, and the dream of eternal life has always been rooted in the lowest level of human consciousness, buried for a long time, but never extinguished.

And this film, through the dialogue between an immortal man and several learned university professors in front of the fireplace, awakens our long-dormant dream of eternal life. It's very charismatic, it can only be summed up like this.

Li Yihua rubbed his sore head, the script was written, but the actor made him worried. Hong Kong is now in the era of comedy, and there is no need for acting skills, so it is really difficult to find actors with extraordinary acting skills.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yihua dialed Hong Jinbao's big brother.

"Hey, is Brother Hong you?"

"It's me! It's me! Why did you call me at this time? Hong Jinbao's somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, I want to ask you for help with something!" Li Yihua said.

"Oh, what's the matter? You say! Hong Jinbao said with a smile.

"I have a piece on hand, I don't know if you're interested!" Li Yihua asked.

"Film, what film? Is it for me to invest or for me to star? Although the company is now rushing two films, Hong Jinbao is still very interested in hearing that Li Yihua has a new film.

"It's a science fiction movie! As for investment, there is no need, the little brother's funds are still abundant, this reminds me of what you participated in. Li Yihua said with a smile.

"Sci-fi?" Hung Jinbao was a little confused, science fiction films are the chicken ribs of Hong Kong, since Xu Ke's failed attempt, no director dares to invest in making this kind of movie. Let's not talk about how much money you have to invest, let's just say that under the pressure of today's Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, it is better to make some martial arts more profitable.

"Yes, a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Li Yihua said with a smile.

"100,000 Hong Kong dollars? Sci-fi blockbuster? No kidding. "This is too nonsense, Hong Jinbao's first reaction is unreliable, what the hell is this, investing tens of thousands of yuan or a sci-fi blockbuster, it seems that the world is really crazy.

"That's right, it won't take you a long time, just two or three days!" Li Yihua said with a smile.

"Okay, I just want to see what script you write, I'm really looking forward to a 100,000 Hong Kong dollar sci-fi blockbuster, just notify me when the time comes!" Hong Jinbao agreed without thinking about it, to be honest, he was also quite interested in this so-called sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of only 100,000 yuan.

You must know that although the current prices are not as outrageous as in later generations, the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars are really pitiful, and it is not good to say, if it is not for the relationship of human affection, I am afraid that it is not enough to even pay the salary.

"Thank you! I'll give you the script when the time comes! Li Yihua said.

"It's a big deal, don't forget to give me the salary when the time comes." Hong Jinbao joked and laughed heartily.

"There is no salary, but when the time comes, I will invite you to a big meal, and the wine will be enough." Li Yihua was not polite to him, and said directly.

"Haha, I like this, it's more real than giving money!"

Got another one, Li Yihua smiled, in fact, according to the setting on the script, there are not many actors needed, and they are all very simple, don't look for stars, you can also find general tricks, but stars have the benefits of stars, strong appeal, and amazing performances.

There is an absolute difference between a star and an actor, the public will watch a film because of the star, but not because of the actor. For example, Andy Lau has stood in the entertainment industry for 30 years without falling, in addition to his acting skills, his biggest reliance is the huge fan base, and he is undoubtedly a star.

In this movie, Li Yihua plans to use an all-star lineup to create a pure luxury movie, and he uses all the company's artists, such as Liang Jiahui, Wu Mengda, Wu Zhenyu, etc., and waved his fingers, it is still not enough, it seems that he is still looking for someone.

Movies with stars and without stars are naturally different, and Li Yihua understands this very well, not only is the box office guaranteed, but it is also easy to shoot. You don't see, the reason why those directors in later generations use big names at every turn, in addition to box office considerations, is because it is easy to shoot, and there is a lot of trouble left.
