If the widening gap in identity makes Ye Rong feel a little uncomfortable, then what really bothers Ye Rong is that Chen Feng gives this role how much "weight" in his new film Since being promoted to a first-line actor, Ye Rong has also had higher requirements for role selection, and those vase-like roles can no longer meet her requirements for self-improvement.

Looking at all of Chen Feng's films, except for the early "Zhu Xian" and "Blair the Witch", which took women as the protagonists of the films, the status of female characters in other films is very "embarrassing".

It is inappropriate to say that these characters are vases, because in action blockbusters like "Wanted", Chen Feng is willing to be a "green leaf", which sets off the transcendent status of the heroine. But in other films, the actresses who cooperate with Chen Feng are not so lucky, although their roles are better than those vase roles, but it is just to let the audience remember that in the end, it is Chen Feng who is "cheap".

If it was just a cameo role, Ye Rong might not hesitate to agree to Chen Feng, but he asked Ye Rong out so solemnly and wanted to invite her to play the heroine, Ye Rong had to think about it seriously.

Chen Feng finished drinking the coffee, and Ye Rong hadn't given a clear attitude yet, which made him finally a little unable to sit still.

He asked tentatively: "You should have no problem with your schedule this year, right?" ”

Ye Rong knew that this guy was in a hurry, but she didn't have the heart to tease Chen Feng at this time. She nodded: "It's no problem on the schedule, but this role..."

Ye Rong didn't make her words clear, but Chen Feng looked at her as if she wanted to say something. I have already guessed in my heart.

"The role of this character in the film is crucial." Chen Feng put down the coffee cup in his hand, "You should have read Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", right?" ”

Ye Rong nodded, she had indeed read that novel before.

"Your new film can't be an adaptation of that novel, right?"

Chen Feng pretended to be mysterious and said: "The answer you speculated is very close to the truth, but this story is only related to Sherlock Holmes to be precise, but Conan Doyle has little to do with it." ”

Yerong frowned slightly, in her impression, Sherlock Holmes didn't seem to have a girlfriend, at least not mentioned in the plot of the novel.

"Let me tell you this, your character is of the same nature as Watson, a friend and assistant to Sherlock Holmes. The only difference is..."

"I'm a woman." Ye Rong snatched Chen Feng's words.

Chen Feng nodded, "The answer is correct." ”

Looking at Chen Feng's serious appearance, Ye Rong burst out laughing. "Turn Watson into a woman... Could this be the plot conceived by the most imaginative brain in the entertainment industry? I think if you really want something to happen to Sherlock Holmes and Watson, you might as well learn from Lee to make a "Love". ”

Chen Feng calmly accepted Ye Rong's "ridicule", and his unexpectedly quiet reaction made Ye Rong, who was originally covering her mouth and chuckling, suddenly feel that something was wrong. She put away the playful expression on her face, and smiled at Chen Feng with a slight apology: "Is it that what I said just now was a little heavy?" ”

Chen Feng was snickering in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to have a very hurt expression on his face: "Yes, how are you going to compensate me?" ”

Looking at his teasing expression, Ye Rong was fooled in her heart. After being teased by Chen Feng several times, Ye Rong twisted her head to the side angrily, ignoring this annoying "bad guy".

"Who said I'm going to write the story of Sherlock Holmes and Watson?" Ye Rong twisted her face to the side, but she didn't cover her ears, so Chen Feng continued: "Just those stories in Conan Doyle's novels, they have long been filmed. If I didn't have something new, how could I be so embarrassed to come to you to make this movie? ”…,

Ye Rong still looked like she ignored Chen Feng, but she didn't miss every word Chen Feng said. She didn't react at this time, obviously waiting for Chen Feng to continue.

"Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes lived in 19th-century England, if he suddenly came to the era we live in. What kind of stories do you think will happen? ”

"It's simply not possible." Yerong was finally no longer indifferent.

Chen Feng stared at Ye Rong with blazing eyes: "What you said came true, and I was talking about movies." ”

Ye Rong asked suspiciously, "But what is this, time travel?" ”

"That's right, it's popular to play time travel right now."

"yes, then you'll have enough reason to turn Watson into a woman." Ye Rong turned the topic back again.

Chen Feng didn't continue to entangle with Ye Rong on this topic, he spread his hands: "Whatever you think." But now I just want to know, are you willing to accept this role? ”

The playful expression on Ye Rong's face became more and more intense, "I haven't even read the script, so you ask me if I'm willing to accept it... Is this your directing style? ”

"But I didn't bring the script."

Chen Feng looked at Ye Rong with some embarrassment, and Ye Rong sighed with regret, "I can't promise you if I don't read the script." ”

Ye Rong wanted to deliberately embarrass Chen Feng, but she didn't expect Chen Feng's reaction to be as anxious as she imagined. Just when she was puzzled, Chen Feng really had the following.

"I didn't bring the script, but I put all the plots here." Chen Feng pointed to his head, a sly smile on his face.

Qingzhi was "teased" by Chen Feng again, but Ye Rong didn't want to pull down her face again this time, but she didn't plan to cheapen Chen Feng so easily.

"Anyway, since your story is about Sherlock Holmes, the film must have to be shot in England... But I've just come back from the EU, and I'm probably going to be staying at home for the next time. ”

This is an excuse that Ye Rong came up with temporarily, thinking that she could make Chen Feng embarrassed for a while, but Chen Feng told her with a smile that the new film was only filmed in Hangzhou and Hong Kong. Ye Rong didn't believe it at first, but as soon as Chen Feng explained later, she was completely stunned.

"Walking on the street and crossing for no reason, such a plot must be very ridiculous, how to say that Sherlock Holmes is also a celebrity, his crossing can't be so casual."

Chen Feng smiled, and then began to describe the plot he had already conceived in his mind: "I think so, Sherlock Holmes was invited by a wealthy man in China to go to Hangzhou Port by boat to solve a case of missing diamonds for the other party, and the passenger ship encountered a storm on the ocean. ”

Ye Rong was actually quite interested in this story, and before Chen Feng finished speaking, she couldn't help but say her guess about the plot: "Then there was a shipwreck, Sherlock Holmes survived with a wooden barrel, he floated in the sea for three days, and was finally rescued by a passing passenger ship, and he helplessly found himself crossing." ”

Chen Feng's eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression on his face, his reaction made Ye Rong always feel that something was wrong, although judging from the other party's expression, she probably guessed the plot correctly, but after suffering a few "losses" at Chen Feng's hands, she also became cautious.

Ye Rong cautiously asked, "Am I not right?" ”

Chen Feng shook his head, clapped his hands and exclaimed, "In fact, you have told you everything I want to say." ”

Ye Rong asked again suspiciously: "Are you sure?" ”

"You are the woman who really understands me." Chen Feng winked meaningfully at Ye Rong, the words in his words and the expression on his face at the moment were very ambiguous. Ye Rong glared at him angrily, but she didn't care about the shame, because at this time she was thinking about another question in her heart. …,

"Sherlock Holmes doesn't have identification, so how did he enter China?"

"It's up to you." Chen Feng deliberately bought a pass.

"Look at me?" Ye Rong was stunned for a moment, and then protested: "Please, how are you, I just guessed casually, it's your business to really write the script." ”

"But I didn't say that you should continue to guess" Chen Feng looked at Ye Rong with an innocent expression, "I mean, the identity of Sherlock Holmes was solved by your character in the play." ”

"Identity fraud... So the role you asked me to play was big? "It's not easy to forge a Huaguo identity certificate, and Ye Rong can come up with such an answer after racking her brains.

"She is not a national security agent, and she does not have any background as a high-ranking official in the government, so this role is just an ordinary prosecutor." Chen Feng stared at Ye Rong's face, "If I really want to say that there is anything special about this character, I can only say that she is very beautiful." ”

Chen Feng's level of compliment didn't have much effect on Ye Rong, she pouted, "Then how did she get the legal identity for Sherlock Holmes?" ”

"Because identity is ready-made." Chen Feng shrugged, "Since even such a small probability event as crossing has happened to our Sherlock Holmes, then it's not a big deal to arrange a suitable identity for him... The salvaged Sherlock Holmes was full of 'nonsense' and everyone thought he was mentally wrong, but our heroine scanned his head into the database and compared it to find that he was the first mate of an ocean-going freighter, which had an accident in the Atlantic Ocean three days ago, and everything coincided with what happened to Sherlock Holmes. ”

Chen Feng's handling like this is obviously a bit tricky, but as a suspense crime movie, the cross-traveled Sherlock Holmes is just a novel gimmick, because he came to a new society, he will definitely make a lot of jokes because he is not suitable at the beginning, this is just a means for Chen Feng to bring the audience into the plot. The origin and identity of Sherlock Holmes is not important in this film, and the reason for installing a "coincidence" saves someone from scrutinizing it. If it weren't for Ye Rong's curiosity, Chen Feng wouldn't have explained so carefully.

Under Li Haitao's urging, Chen Feng finally wrote a script "slowly", but he also brought Li Haitao another piece of news. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
