Halfway through January, everything is over, and Li Xuan has also begun to prepare for his first movie in the real sense.

"Black Man" can be said to be a Hong Kong superhero movie, although the protagonist does not do what superheroes should do. The hearty fight scenes in this movie are obviously different from the fighting style of the 70s, but this is easy to say, because Li Xuan has gradually figured out some ways when filming "The King of Killers", which has few fight scenes.

As for a lot of special props and explosives in the movie, Li Xuan has sponsored Ma Wenjun for him to do it, and specially proposed that he go to see "Star Wars" and "Alien". Just a few gadgets, more than two months, enough for Ma Wenjun to toss some useful things.

The behind-the-scenes personnel are also easy to do, whether it is to rent it in Jiahe or to borrow it in Hongjiaban, it is not difficult. But on the issue of the hero and heroine, Li Xuan made a difficulty.

There are a lot of stars of the older generation in Hong Kong, but unfortunately most of them are nearly middle-aged like the one-armed knife Wang Yu, Jiang Dawei and Di Long, and their figures are gradually getting better, and they are no longer in the posture of their youth, Li Xuan first excluded them.

As for now, Hong Chenglong and Hong Jingbao. Chenglong is now preparing to go to the United States to film after the year, and his performance is not the style that "Black Man" needs, so it will be ruled out first. And Hong Jingbao is too fat, and his figure is not suitable, so it is also excluded.

Then there are few young actors in Hong Kong who can do kung fu. Still looking for Xiang Huaqiang? No, although this guy's acting ability is good, it's a pity that his kung fu is a little worse, and his performance in "The King of Killers" is very average. Dong Wei? The body is too thin to support a big scene, and the image does not match.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan finally found that only Yuan Dart was a bit suitable.

Ay! It would have been nice if Li Lianjie had been born ten years earlier. Now, is that guy doing martial arts performances in the mainland or is he already filming "Shaolin Temple"?

"Brother Xuan, why do I want to lose my long hair?" Sitting next to Li Xuan, Yuan Dao touched his head and asked unwillingly.

Finally glancing at the magnificent Victoria Bay outside the window, Li Xuan turned his head and smiled: "My play is a modern urban drama, and your original long hair is not suitable." ”

Yuan Dart just finished filming "Lin Shirong" with Hong Jingbao some time ago, and now there is no arrangement. Li Xuan went to invite someone, and as soon as this guy heard that he was the protagonist, he agreed without asking about the script. Then Yuan Dart regretted it, and the first thing Li Xuan took him to do was to cut his long hair into inches.

"Anyway, it feels weird." Yuan Dart picked up the silver spoon for eating snacks with his left hand and looked at himself, and his right hand unconsciously touched his head.

"I've gotten used to it for a long time, don't you think it's more handsome." Li Xuan took a sip of the mint tea on the table. The afternoon tea at the Oriental Culture Hotel is still very good, especially when you make an appointment to talk about things.

"I don't think it'......," Yuan Dart replied unconsciously.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes, put down the teacup and asked, "Are you familiar with Sister Shushu?" ”

"Well, so-so." Yuan Dart dropped the spoon in his hand and continued: "Ah Ying is familiar with her. ”

"Nonsense! I also know that Dong Wei must be a little familiar with her. Li Xuan said coldly: "How can there be a senior sister who is not familiar with the junior brother." ”

"Uh......, hehe." Yuan Dart smiled awkwardly, turned his head and looked around embarrassedly.

Suddenly, Yuan Dart stood up and looked at the aisle and raised his right hand, and whispered: "Sister Shu, here!" ”

Li Xuan turned his head when he heard this, and not far from the aisle, a long-haired beauty wearing a blue knitted sweater was walking towards this side under the guidance of the waiter.

The person who came was Xiao Shushu, the fourth eldest of the seven princesses of the Shaw Brothers in the sixties, the current boss of Gao Yun Film Company, and Miao Cuihua in Li Lianjie's version of "Fang Shiyu" in the later generations. And she is the apprentice of Peking Opera Wudan Pink Chrysanthemum, the senior sister of Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei.

However, Li Xuan was more interested in her than a song she sang - "Only Mother is Good in the World".

Xiao Shushu has been a child star since she was a child, and as early as 1954, when she was 7 years old, she took over the first film "Little Star Tears". In 1956, she performed "Aunt Mei" for the Shaw Brothers Company, and since then she has become famous. And her famous work is "The Wanderings of a Bitter Child" in 1958. This film was exhibited in the United States, and Xiao Fangfang became famous because of it, and was once praised by Hong Kong and Taiwan fans as China's Xiulan? Temple. The movie theme song she sang "Only Mom is Good in the World" was introduced into the stage later? The movie "Mom Loves Me Again" has become a widely circulated song in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

People born in the 80s, who can't sing "Only Mom is Good in the World". Back then, the "Mom Loves Me Again" caused a sensation in the mainland, and the school didn't know how many times it was replayed when Li Xuan was studying, and it earned a lot of people's tears.

But now, "Mom Loves Me Again" has not yet been born, and "Only Mom is Good in the World" is just an ordinary family song. And Xiao Shushu also studied in the United States in the early 70s, and after returning to Hong Kong, except for the extra eye-catching "Jumping Ashes", other achievements were mediocre. In order to broaden her acting path, she finally began to self-destruct her image and pretend to be ugly and took the comedy route, starred in TVB's "Lin Yazhen" and put it on the screen, and the results were not bad.

And Li Xuan's purpose in inviting her is to ask her to play the heroine of the new film, the librarian who is often dumped. That's a character who wants to play ugly, and if it's even possible, Li Xuan also wants her to use the image of "Lin Yazhen" on camera, you must know that "Lin Yazhen" has a good influence in the TV audience.

"Sister Shushu, look up for a long time!" Li Xuan also quickly stood up, stretched out his right hand and said.

"Hehe, Mr. Li is polite." Xiao Shushu shook it back slightly, and then withdrew his hand.

"That's a kind of politeness." Li Xuan waved his hand absently, pointed to the chair and said, "Sister Shu, please take a seat." ”

Xiao Shushu sat down when he heard this, and after ordering a cup of coffee from the waiter, he asked Li Xuan suspiciously, "Mr. Li wants to find me to make a movie?" ”

"yes, I want to make an urban kung fu movie." Li Xuan nodded and said.

"Urban Kung Fu?" Xiao Shushu asked with a frown.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, the background of the current kung fu comedy is basically the Republic of China. Not long ago, I had a whim, I didn't know what would happen to these kung fu films if I put the background in the modern era. ”

"This, can you show me the script?" Xiao Shushu asked hesitantly. She is not very at ease with urban kung fu films, just like Yu Zhanyuan's "Master Out of the Horse", which can be regarded as urban kung fu films, or filmed in the United States. But in the end, the movie is not a street to death.

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded, took out a thick stack of paper from his briefcase and handed it over, obviously much larger than the script.

"What is this?" Xiao Shushu opened the stack of papers in front of him in surprise and said, "This is a storyboard script." ”

"Hmmm! Half of the storyboard was drawn. ”

Li Xuan nodded, and when filming "The King of Killers", he didn't have time to draw a storyboard script, which caused a lot of trouble. Now that you have time, let's put the script out first, and then you can use it directly.

"Mr. Li is really well prepared." Xiao Shushu chuckled and glanced at Li Xuan and said.

"Hehe, it's called being prepared." Li Xuan took a sip of tea.

Xiao Shushu didn't reply this time, she had already opened the storyboard and looked at it carefully.

Li Xuan put down the teacup, looked at the Yuan Dart next to him who was still touching his hair from time to time, shook his head with a chuckle, and turned his head to look out the window.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's head turned back and looked at a couple of men and women sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

Is this the case?

"Sister Shushu." Li Xuan called softly.

Looking at Xiao Shushu, he raised his head suspiciously. Li Xuan continued: "When I met an acquaintance, I went to say hello, but the hospitality was not good. ”

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay, you can go." Xiao Shushu replied and buried his head again.

Glancing at Xiao Shushu, who was stuck in work, Li Xuan stood up and walked towards the pair of men and women by the window.

In the quiet afternoon, the man quietly looked at the beautiful sea view outside the window while drinking afternoon tea, and responded to the girl next to him with a "hmm" from time to time. And the girl is obviously different from the man, drinking tea while chattering something, and when she doesn't hear the man's response, she will pull the man's clothes.

Li Xuan, who walked closer, saw such a strange state.

"Ah Rong, Sydney, what's the matter, are you dating?" Li Xuan suddenly called behind the two.

Zhang Guorong and Sydney were stunned by the voice behind them, and turned their heads to see that it was Li Xuan, Zhang Guorong smiled shyly: "Brother Li said he was joking." ”

"What's so funny about that. The love of children is long and the wind is less, and it is too late for me to envy it, right, Sydney. Li Xuan sat opposite the two and said to Sydney with a smile.

"That's it! Brother Li is right. ”

Sydney gave Li Xuan a lot of face, and replied without hesitation.

"Huh." Li Xuan smiled: "You young people, why don't you go shopping and come here for afternoon tea?" ”

"I said to go to disco, but Ah Rong didn't agree to it, it was noisy." Sydney sighed and said a little dissatisfied.

Eh, are the two of them starting to get along?

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and changed the topic and asked, "What has Ah Rong been doing lately?" ”

"Huh? Oh, I've been reading the script recently, and a new drama will start filming a year ago. Zhang Guorong said quietly: "What about Brother Li? ”

"Me!" Li Xuan leaned back in the chair and said slowly: "It's still the same, after filming a movie, I will continue to shoot the next one, now it is rare to take a leisurely time." ”

"Hehe, Brother Li's life is really enviable." Zhang Guorong said hopefully.

Hearing this, Li Xuan's heart lit up, but after a while, Li Xuan suppressed this emotion. Now the company's shelves haven't been set up yet, so let's wait for a while.

"Okay, what's not envied." Li Xuan waved his hand and stood up: "Don't bother you two, I made an appointment with a friend to talk about things, and I went over first." ”

"Well, goodbye, Brother Li." Zhang Guorong and Sydney responded.

"Goodbye."

Li Xuan nodded, then turned around and walked back. When he came to the table, he found that Xiao Shushu had put down the script and was talking to Yuan Dart with his coffee.

"Sister Shushu, I've read the script, what do you think?" Li Xuan asked as he sat down.

"It feels good." Xiao Shushu put down the coffee in his hand, weighed it and nodded, "I want to give it a try." (To be continued.) )
