Chapter Ninety-Seven: Recommendations

"Director Feng, why did you remember to look for me? My job is a director, not a professional actor, and I don't want to be told by other actors to cross over to steal their jobs. Lin Yuquan said a joke with a smile, and then said seriously: "As for the martial arts instructor, I can indeed provide some help, but Director Feng you know, I want to make my own movie, and I need to do a lot of preparatory work, so I can't stay in the crew to assist you in filming like other martial arts instructors, of course, a serious martial arts instructor is definitely not good, but if I just talk about my thoughts on the action of the film and mention some of my own construction, there is still no problem, I hope Director Feng you don't mind." ā€

Feng Xiaogang showed a clear look, to say that there are no regrets in his heart must be fake, since he made up his mind to shoot "Night Banquet" at the end of last year, he felt that Lin Yuquan was the most suitable candidate for the actor Prince Wuluan, handsome and handsome, superb acting skills, first-class kung fu and super popularity and popularity, there is no better candidate than him, compared with him, the candidate Wu Yanzu in his heart is undoubtedly a lot worse.

The actor is a performer who creates the literary character image of the script into a stage character image, and is one of the three core elements of the film.

And speaking of which, he has already achieved his previously set goal.

"What do I mind if I can't ask for it? You can build it for me, I am already grateful, in fact, in addition to the martial arts instructor, I hope you can also help me in other aspects, there is no other meaning, the main thing is that it is the first time for me to make this type of movie, and I am not down-to-earth in my heart, what about you, you are now filming "Red Cliff", you must have some opinions on the historical role of the palace, if you don't mind, you might as well help me advise, my movie is like this" Feng Xiaogang didn't wait for Lin Yuquan to answer, and immediately said.

"Director Feng, you haven't announced this movie to the public yet, you still have a senior sister, it may not be good!" Lin Yuquan interrupted Feng Xiaogang's words, and there were some concerns in his words.

"It's okay, anyway, Zhong Lei and I will announce it to the public next month, even if it is revealed in advance, it will have no impact, and I am old friends with Lao Xu, although you have not known Yuquan for a long time, but I believe that you are definitely not the person who talks nonsense, the most important thing is that I urgently need you to build me now, so as to prepare for filming as soon as possible, and discuss this issue when you come back after filming "Red Cliff". Feng Xiaogang smiled boldly.

"I really don't know what you're worried about, since Director Feng is not worried, you just have to listen with your ears." Xu Jinglei said with a smile on the side.

"Okay, as long as Director Feng, you're not afraid that I'll disrupt your directing thoughts." Lin Yuquan listened respectfully.

"My train of thought is not so easy to be disturbed, and we talk mainly about action, this aspect is my weakest, the most need for you to build yƬ, I wish you disturbed my train of thought!"

Feng Xiaogang laughed, and then told the story of the night banquet.

The script of "Night Banquet" was first written by Hong Kong screenwriter Qiu Gangjian, and it had been delivered to Huayi Brothers a long time ago.

Later, when Wang Zhonglei and he followed Zhang Yimou and Lin Yuquan to make a big move, the first thing he thought of was to shoot "Night Banquet", which is a good book and can also shoot big scenes.

However, he did not take this script and shoot it directly, because he was dissatisfied with the script completely born from the tragic story Hamlet, he found the famous screenwriter Sheng Heyu, who had written "Towards the Republic" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", to rewrite it, so that it no longer just tells a story of revenge, but rises to expose people's desires.

Of course, the main discussion between the two is the action aspect, and the plot aspect is relatively small, while Lin Yuquan gave the corresponding advice according to his own understanding.

"Are you saying that Yuan Heping is more suitable to be the martial arts instructor of the film?" Feng Xiaogang asked uncertainly.

"Well, Yuan Baye's ability in this area is relatively strong, he will definitely be able to design action moves and scenes with a sense of flow and flow according to your requirements, but one thing must be noted, although the action scenes in your movie only account for a small part, you must put a lot of energy into the shooting, and you must not ignore it." Lin Yuquan said solemnly, what he was worried about was that Feng Xiaogang was inexperienced in filming action scenes and was in a hurry to shoot the shooting schedule, so he would be like Zhang Yimou did in "Hero", treating the fighting characters as puppets, with no sense of fighting at all.

"I know this, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to build yƬ, by the way, what do you think of Tan Dun and Ye Jintian?" Feng Xiaogang nodded, and then asked.

"What, you want to find the two of them to work with?" Lin Yuquan laughed.

"I do have this plan, after all, both of them are authorities on soundtracks and scenery, and in the same position, there are few people in China who can compare with them, but I haven't worked with them, so I want to hear your opinion on the co-operator?" Feng Xiaogang did not hide it.

"Am I creating a strong competitor for myself?" Lin Yuquan smiled, and Xu Jinglei covered her mouth and chuckled.

"How can it! Don't worry, I'll avoid you, won't there be a new movie next year? He and I will meet then. Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

"Yes, but don't say I've helped you, I don't want to be settled by him." Lin Yuquan smiled very happily, and his words were full of satisfaction with the two: "If they are asked to compose the music and scenery, coupled with Yuan Heping's martial arts instruction, with Director Feng's ability, as long as you are willing to spend money, the visual and auditory effects of the film will definitely surpass the previous "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides". ā€

"Oh, how does that compare to your Red Cliff?" Feng Xiaogang asked with interest.

"This is a certain degree of difficulty, it depends on how much you invest, are you willing to spend so much money? You know, that's not a small amount, and it certainly won't work without amazing courage. Lin Yuquan smiled lightly.

"Isn't the investment you announced to the outside world 200 million? "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" are more than you, since I can surpass them, why is it difficult to surpass "Red Cliff". Feng Xiaogang said puzzled.

"Their announced investment is on the surface, the actual amount, Director Feng knows in his heart, but I am different, my 200 million is a real investment, and if you want to surpass me, it is not simply a matter of throwing 200 million, you can ask Ye Jintian specifically, he should give you a clear answer." Lin Yuquan said lightly.

Feng Xiaogang was stunned suddenly, the actual investment of 200 million, the investment available to him was only more than 100 million, the difference was too far, no wonder Lin Yuquan was full of confidence.

"The actual investment of 200 million, oh my God!" Xu Jinglei, who heard about it for the first time, was also shocked.
