Chapter 437: Old Monster Xu

As one of the few superstars in the Chinese film industry, as early as February this year, Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing successively revealed in an interview that they planned to get married this year, and their marriage news was immediately enthusiastically pursued by the media and the public.

And despite the endless celebrity marriages this year, because of the extraordinary influence of the two in the entertainment industry and the rare love run in the world, since the official announcement of the wedding time and place in mid-July, the wedding of "it is rumored that it is rumored that every day" is finally no longer rumored, and the wedding of the century of the two suddenly overwhelmed Liu Tao and the "Four Youths of Beijing" Wang Ke, Li Jiaxin and the Xu family Xu Jinheng, Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin, Dong Jie and Pan Yueming and other newcomers who also got married this year, becoming one of the most high-profile entertainment events this year.

For the wedding of the two, the vast majority of people, including the fans of the two, are happy and relieved for them, after all, 46-year-old Liang Chaowei and 42-year-old Liu Jialing are no longer young, and they will be old if they don't get married, and the two have met and fallen in love since 1989, and now they have crossed nearly 20 years, 20 years, it is hard to imagine what a long time this is, and how many 20 years can there be in life?

What's even more rare is that during this period, the relationship between the two is not smooth sailing, but ups and downs, there have been too many confusions and confusions, Liu Jialing is always riddled with scandals, Guo Taiming, Xu Jinheng, Hu Jun, Li Zhaowen, Sun Daocun, Zhu Ming, Zhang Ruizhe, Luo Zhaohui, many of them are no longer scandals, but they are true.

Liang Chaowei has also had scandals with Maggie Cheung, Zeng Huaqian, Zhou Jialing and others, so the love between the two often lights up red, and rumors of a breakup have come out more than once.

The biggest test is undoubtedly the revelation that Liu Jialing was strong in 90 years after it was revealed in 95. Violent and photographed naked. Shine on the event. In this matter. Although Liu Jialing is a poor victim. But when any man encounters this kind of thing, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down, but Liang Chaowei expressed great tolerance and understanding for this, and never gave up on Liu Jialing.

Although the turmoil has continued since then, it has been proved that the two have always loved each other deeply and stayed together, and finally entered the marriage hall. Such an emotional process has to be admirable.

However, as a public lover, many female fans of Liang Chaowei are quite dissatisfied with this, not because they don't want Liang Chaowei to get married, but because they are dissatisfied with Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing's marriage, and they feel worthless for Liang Chaowei.

In fact, it has always been difficult for the public to understand why Liang Chaowei did not marry Liu Jialing, he could have a better choice, Liu Jialing's appearance and acting career achievements are not talked about for the time being, over the years. The scandal between Liu Jialing and the rich star has never been broken, and her image in the hearts of the public is extremely unbearable.

Of course, whether it's a compliment or not. Still disappointed, these did not affect the wedding preparations of Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing, and after announcing that the wedding would be held in Bhutan on July 21, the wedding of the century between the two instantly detonated the Chinese-speaking circle.

For a time, various reports about the wedding occupied the entertainment pages of major media, such as "Liu Jialing blocked Zhang Manyu and refused to invite her former rival to watch the ceremony", "Liang Chaowei Liu Jialing's wedding was selected in Bhutan, and 80 guests were confirmed", "Lin Qingxia and Lin Jianyue borrowed a private jet to pick up wedding guests for Liu Jialing", "Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei are about to get married, and the wedding itinerary and many details are exposed", "Zhang Shuping designed the wedding dress, Wong Kar-wai made a short documentary, the Kingdom of Bhutan was filmed at will, and Wei Ling's wedding enjoyed unique treatment" overwhelming reports, Make this scorching summer day that is being ravaged by "Wild Tales: Rise of the Apes" even hotter.

Many large entertainment media outlets laughed wryly, because Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing announced the wedding time and venue a week in advance, which made it very difficult for them to apply for temporary visas to travel to Bhutan.

However, everyone knows that now the wedding of the century between the two has received attention in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, plus the lineup of luxury celebrity guests who will attend the wedding at that time, it would be a pity if they could not follow up and report the whole process.

Therefore, even if it is difficult, there are still a large number of media will not give up because of the difficulty of obtaining a visa, many media reporters immediately rushed to Bangkok after the announcement, trying to find a more convenient way to obtain a visa in the local area, for this reason, in Thailand, a black market Bhutanese visa was speculated to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there are a large number of reporters to travel to Bhutan on foot.

Of course, there are only a few such reporters, most of them are only in Bangkok to report on the celebrity guests who went to Bhutan, according to the previously exposed wedding schedule, Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing will arrive in Bangkok on July 16, buy cigarettes and alcohol, and then fly to Bhutan, meet the young Bhutanese King Kishaal, and take wedding photos at the Bhutanese royal palace.

Then, on July 19, while the two were preparing for their wedding in Bhutan, the guests invited to attend the wedding flew to Bangkok from the mainland, Hong Kong, and treasure islands, and then flew to Bhutan on July 20 on the plane where the two had bought out their tickets.

The hard work of the media reporters was not in vain, and they waited tirelessly at the airport to present a series of reports about the wedding to the public, which made people who followed the wedding of Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing relish.

Lin Qingxia, who did not avoid the reporter's interview even if she wore sunglasses, sent her blessings to Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing in front of the camera: "I am very happy to be able to go to the country of Bhutan this time, in fact, I have wanted to go a long time ago, but for some reason, I have not been able to make the trip, just take advantage of this opportunity, and at the same time can bless this happy couple, I am really excited and happy." ”

She has given birth twice at an advanced age, and when asked if she would teach the two of them the secret of creating a human being, she said with a smile: "Jialing has always been so strong, this is definitely no problem for her, of course I also hope that they will be together for a hundred years, give birth to a noble son early, and give birth as soon as possible!" ”

"Oh, it's not easy, I've waited so long, and finally waited for the day when they have achieved positive results and entered the marriage hall, I hope they will be happy in the future." Hu Jun, who arrived in Bangkok ahead of schedule and flew to Bhutan, said with a smile in an interview that before this, someone took stock of the guests that Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing would definitely not invite, and Hu Jun, who had a scandal with Liu Jialing, was on the list, but it turned out that the two who had cooperated three times in "Infernal Affairs 2", "A River Flows Eastward", and "Curiosity Kills the Cat" are very tacit working partners and good friends who are in tune. If you have to define the relationship between the two people. They are supposed to be the legendary confidantes of the blue face.

"Blessings don't matter. The important thing is that the two of them are having a good time. "Ye Tong.

"Because Bhutan is a Buddhist country, not only does it not sell tobacco and alcohol, but the food is mainly vegetarian, so Jia Ling asked us to bring good wine and snacks and instant noodles with us, for fear that we would be hungry if we were not used to eating local food." Chen Jiaying, a well-known agent in Hong Kong who has served as the agent of Chen Baiqiang, Wang Fei and Eason Chan, said.

"It's an honor to receive an invitation from Wei Zai. When I saw the guest list for your coverage, I was so shocked that I couldn't have imagined that I would be one of the 80 invited guests. Lin Yuquan, who also arrived in Bangkok on the 19th, said with a smile in an interview with reporters at the airport.

This is indeed the true feeling in his heart, he didn't expect that Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing would invite so few insiders to this wedding, you must know that most of the 80 guests are family members of the two, among which there are only a few more than 30 celebrity guests, and these celebrity guests. is basically Liu Jialing's friend in the circle, and there are so many filmmakers in the Hong Kong film industry who have not been invited. He was invited to attend, how not to surprise him.

In addition to being surprised, his biggest emotion is that Liang Chaowei has enough friends, and now in retrospect, it is really incredible, he actually became a good friend with Liang Chaowei through the filming of "Red Cliff", I remember that at that time, in order to communicate and cooperate with Liang Chaowei, he took great pains, far less easy than getting along with Hua Zai and Zhen Zidan.

After the interview, Lin Yuquan immediately talked to Andy. Serkis and others kept putting in publicity, and in his original plan, he was to attend Liang Chaowei's wedding and have a good visit in Bhutan by the way, but due to the additional publicity of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", the plan was all disrupted

"Director Lin, I'm really bothering you this time, otherwise we will definitely be chased and intercepted by reporters, and we will be choked enough." Wang Feiyan, who was dressed in summer casual clothes, said with a smile, her voice is very good, just listening to the voice, not at all like a woman who is nearly forty years old, but it is completely different from the ethereal and pure timbre when she sings.

"Yes, this time it's really thanks to Director Lin." Li Yapeng, who was dressed in a gray T-shirt and shorts, also said with a smile, but in comparison, he was slightly restrained and respectful, he was one of the four major students in the mainland in 2000, although he was once very popular, but his follow-up was weak, not only did he become a big actor, but his popularity declined sharply, with his current status in the entertainment industry, he is undoubtedly far from Lin Yuquan, the world's most eye-catching and commercially successful Chinese director, not to mention that Lin Yuquan is also a top rich man and occupies the throne of the richest man in China.

"It's not a hassle, speaking of which, it's my honor to be on the same flight with you this time, because I finally had the opportunity to meet and chat with my former idols, and I like your music and film works very much." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

Originally, in Liu Jialing's arrangement, the guests who flew to Bhutan on the last day took a special charter flight at 12 noon, because Bangkok only has the only charter flight to Bhutan every day, which is half past four in the morning, which is not very convenient for guests to travel, as for the so-called private jet lent by Lin Qingxia and Lin Jianyue as widely rumored by the media, it is purely false.

Considering that there will be a large number of reporters at the airport, it is inevitable that he will be intercepted by reporters when passing through the security check, he is ready to take his own private jet to Bhutan, and the security check of the private jet is a special channel, and the ordinary security channel is not in the same place, there is a special attendant service, special car pick-up and boarding, do not have to worry about being found by reporters.

Thinking that he was flying alone, and several people were flying together, he simply asked Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing to arrange for a few people who were not very convenient to appear in front of reporters to take his private jet.

"Why didn't you bring Li Yan with you?" Lin Yuquan glanced at Li Yapeng's side, a little girl who was holding hands with him, about eleven or twelve years old, said, the girl's appearance is not particularly beautiful, with a pair of small sunglasses, black medium and long hair, carrying a white environmental protection shoulder bag, looking at him with a bright eye, but this girl was not born to Wang Fei and Li Yapeng, but the daughter of Wang Fei and Dou Wei.

"The child is too young now, Bhutan is so far away. The conditions are more difficult. Not very convenient. Li Yapeng said with a smile.

"That's right." Lin Yuquan nodded. chatted with Li Yapeng and his wife a few words, Wang Fei's song and timbre have nothing to say, the only one in the Chinese music scene, he really likes each other's songs, but when it comes to people, the perception is extremely ordinary, Wang Fei's chaotic love life in the past makes it difficult for him to like it. The perception of Li Yapeng is much better, although Li Yapeng is not handsome, and his acting skills are not incomparable, and his acting career has come to a standstill, but he has starred in several works in the past that are very good, "Carry on Love to the End", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "No. 1 in the World", are all TV series that he likes, and the most important thing is that it can be seen from the usual reports that the character is quite good.

"Hi. Director Lin, long time no see. Congratulations on your movie being a box office hit, the global box office has exceeded $1.3 billion, which is really amazing. Xu Ke and his wife soon came to the security VIP channel, after seeing Lin Yuquan, Xu Ke smiled and admired, his heart was full of emotion, when he met Lin Yuquan before, Lin Yuquan was just a young director who quickly became popular, but now he is already a well-deserved international director, and his achievements in commerciality are unmatched by no one in the Chinese film industry, not only that, but his achievements in investment and operation are even more jaw-dropping.

"Thank you, I haven't seen you for two years, Director Xu, you are still so energetic and full of energy, I have always been looking forward to seeing Director Xu's martial arts masterpiece again." Lin Yuquan laughed, the last time he met Xu Ke was almost three years ago at the Treasure Island Golden Horse Awards, when "Seven Swords" was also shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards, and the two had a greeting at the celebration reception after the awards ceremony.

Since the filming of "Seven Swords", which is not popular with the audience, Xu Ke has not made martial arts films in recent years, but made urban films, but the box office results are not very ideal, although the box office performance is not very ideal, although the box office cannot be completely judged by the box office, after all, the box office of a movie is determined by many factors, it is not a good movie if the box office is bad, but since it is a commercial film, and there is Xu Ke's golden signboard, the cast of each movie is not weak, and the box office results are not ideal, but there must be some problems.

"Martial arts films are not easy to shoot now, Director Lin, you have made "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff", and "Painted Skin" so well, with your movie in front, now the audience is very picky about audio-visual effects and fighting action scenes, without hundreds of millions of investment, I dare not shoot it! I want to shoot, but on the one hand, it is difficult to get so much investment, and there is no suitable candidate for starring in martial arts films, now in the Chinese-speaking circle, excellent action actors, especially outstanding young action actors, are too few and too few, of course, if Director Lin is willing to star and serve as an action director, I will immediately tailor a script for you. ”

Xu Ke laughed and said, feeling sad and helpless, with Lin Yuquan's pearl and jade in front, not to mention exceeding the level of Lin Yuquan's several kung fu martial arts movies, at least it can't be too far behind, otherwise it will inevitably be criticized by the audience, "Casting a Name" and his own "Seven Swords" are obvious examples, it is not easy to do this.

And a martial arts movie with excellent audio-visual effects, with a good cast, and an investment of at least 150 million yuan, there are very few film companies in the Chinese film industry today that have such a skill.

Thinking back to the late 80s and early 90s, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan and others are at their peak, and now except for Lin Yuquan, who can't be invited by other movies at all, no other young actor has the ability to star in a martial arts masterpiece of more than 100 million.

Even if you shoot, you can only find Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, Cheng Long, these people have too many masterpieces in the past, and their works will inevitably be compared with past masterpieces.

"I also hope to have such an opportunity to cooperate with Director Xu, but unfortunately I really can't spare time." Lin Yuquan politely refused, he couldn't even be busy with his own affairs, of course he didn't have that kind of leisure: "But I hope to cooperate with Director Xu in another way, if Director Xu has the idea of creating martial arts films, welcome to Shuguang Film Company, we are very interested in co-producing martial arts blockbusters with Director Xu." ”

These words are not Lin Yuquan's polite words, he does have a strong interest in cooperating with Xu Ke, costume martial arts films are a bright pearl of Chinese films, and it is certainly impossible for Shuguang Film Company to give up this theme. Speaking of films suitable for directing this genre. Among the directors currently signed or cooperated with Shuguang Films. Chen Jiashang is a good candidate, but compared with Xu Ke, a martial arts movie master, there is still a certain gap, in fact, if it weren't for "Tongtian Empire" was specially created for Chen Kaige, Xu Kelai would be an excellent candidate to direct.

Although Xu Ke has suddenly gone downhill since the mid-90s, to this day, it is still in a slump. It gives people a very sad feeling that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents. But in Lin Yuquan's view, this is actually inseparable from the decline of Hong Kong films, and in the face of investment pressure, Xu Ke has not completely let go.

Looking at Xu Ke's previous works, his works are extremely uneven, sometimes brilliant, sometimes noisy and superficial, which is related to his creative style, his creation is extremely casual, and it is precisely because of his freewheeling behavior. It is the fickleness that has created countless classics in his works. Unconventional, strange, absurd, and treacherous, it has long become the number one model of the "weird" mainstream in the eyes of the world.

Old Monster Xu, Old Monster Xu, this title is not for nothing. Lin Yuquan believes that as long as Xu can provide a good creative environment, not to mention surpassing the peak, at least it will not be a problem to make a comeback.

Of course, this is a big risk, when "Painted Wall" chose Chen Jiashang, not Xu Ke, it was because Xu Ke's achievements in recent years were not ideal, and now, he has enough capital and is willing to try it to let a generation of martial arts film masters be reborn and make a comeback, isn't it very interesting?

Joining forces with Shuguang Film, Xu Ke was stunned, and his heart was quite moved, Shuguang Film is currently the most successful film company in the Chinese film industry, due to the backing of Lin Yuquan, it has sufficient financial strength, in the past two years, Chen Jiashang and Chen Desen, two Hong Kong directors, have been given the opportunity to direct 100 million Chinese productions in Shuguang Film, since "Seven Swords", he has made three works, "Iron Triangle", "Deep Sea Search", "Women Are Not Bad", all of them are urban genre films, the investment is not large, in fact, what he wants to shoot most in his heart is naturally a masterpiece of costume martial arts, helplessly, there are not many Hong Kong film companies that have a big deal.

"Okay, I've always wanted to have the opportunity to cooperate with Shuguang Films, speaking of which, I just have an idea, Director Lin, if you're interested, why don't we talk about it later." Xu Ke said with a smile.

"Oh, really? This is great, of course I'm interested, is it a martial arts theme? Lin Yuquan asked excitedly in surprise, this is a sleepy pillow, Shuguang Film is not short of funds, what is lacking is works that can be put into shooting.

"Well, it's a martial arts movie." Xu Ke nodded with a smile: "Director Lin, you should know that I have made a lot of remakes or adaptations, among which "New Dragon Gate Inn" is adapted from "Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan, this work was relatively successful at the time, I have the idea of continuing the plot of the movie, or more should I talk about the story background, and use the current special effects technology to create a martial arts film with more fascinating visual scenes." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Yuquan not to know "New Dragon Gate Inn", this movie is known as the www.biquge.info of Hong Kong's new martial arts, which can be called a monument to martial arts movies, but what makes him remember it is not the so-called status significance, but the wonderful fights in the film, the desolate scenery of the desert and the most important character image is brilliantly shaped, Zhou Huai'an played by Liang Jiahui, Jin Jiyu played by Zhang Manyu, Qiu Moyan played by Lin Qingxia, and Cao Shaoqin, the supervisor of the East Factory played by Zhen Zidan, and a number of supporting roles, none of which are vague and gentle, all of them leave a deep impression on the audience, for a martial arts movie, after the audience is satisfied with a moment of visual pleasure, it is definitely a great success to make people remember so many characters. Especially the role of the black shop proprietress Jin Jiyu played by Zhang Manyu, her pungent and coquettish is unforgettable, and the actress with the most titles in the Chinese film industry is by no means in vain.

I have to say that Xu Ke's idea is very good, and he is also extremely good at old bottles of new wine, coupled with better shooting methods, better special effects technology, more exquisite costumes and sets, and more atmospheric fight scenes, Lin Yuquan has a smile on his face, this will really be a work full of expectations.

"Very interesting, Director Xu, what kind of story are you going to shoot?" Lin Yuquan, who was faintly excited, immediately asked.

"Heh, my idea is this, in the context of "New Dragon Gate Inn", it tells the story of eunuchs gaining power, indiscriminately killing virtuous ministers, and chivalrous chivalrous people fighting against the evil Dongchang" Xu Ke said slowly.

In the selfless discussion between Lin Yuquan and Xu Ke, Guan Jinpeng, Chen Jiaying, Xi Zhongwen, and Sun Yunyun arrived one after another, and Liu Jialing originally asked Wu Yusen to take Lin Yuquan's private jet, but Wu Yusen refused.

"Director Lin, your movie is fantastic, and the box office is a big hit, and many people say that they have a chance to break the record of "Titanic"." Sun Yunyun, who is usually cold and noble, smiles like a flower road, facing Lin Yuquan, she can not be cold and noble, although her husband's family is rich, but it is naturally not comparable to Lin Yuquan, not to mention anything else, someone else's "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" makes more money than all the wealth of her husband's family.

"Thank you!" Lin Yuquan said politely, beautiful appearance, hot figure, fashionable and eye-catching dress, such Sun Yunyun is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape, but Lin Yuquan did not have the idea of chatting with the other party, he didn't know each other before, until he knew that the other party would take his private jet, he knew that the other party was a treasure island socialite, and later went to the Internet to check her information, for this high-profile, like to show off her wealth, I don't know whether it is the media or the self-styled first young grandmother and the first lady of Treasure Island, He really didn't have any good feelings.

After saying this, he immediately smiled and said to the people who had already gone through the security check: "OK, since everyone has arrived, let's board the plane!" (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank Fierkes, Unknown A, and the monthly ticket support of the three friends who shot ants in a battleship, as well as the reward of the Chen family's three young 121, and shoot ants in a battleship, such a domineering name.
