"Bang bang." The crisp clapping was particularly loud in the quiet morning.

"Yuquan, what's the name of this boxing technique you can fight? It's too majestic, hey, why can't I meet the old man who taught you boxing? Xiao Yang said enviously and hatefully.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Lin Yuquan put away his fist and said with a smile as he walked.

"Come on, I'm old arms and legs now, how can I learn? And martial arts, if you haven't practiced martial arts since childhood, it is impossible to be as powerful as you. Xiao Yang pouted.

Lin Yuquan smiled, if it weren't for the cultivator's perception of martial arts, if it weren't for the cultivation of immortal exercises, even if he practiced since childhood, it would be just a shelf of kung fu, at most to strengthen his body, but whether it is a martial arts perception or immortal cultivation exercises, it must not be leaked to the outside world. "It's good to know, you wait for me for a while, I'll go take a bath, and make breakfast after taking a bath."

"Senior sister hasn't gotten up yet, I'll call her." Xiao Yang also followed Lin Yuquan into the house.

"Don't waste your efforts, you don't know her yet, she loves to sleep lazily, unless she has something serious, she will definitely not be able to call it." Lin Yuquan shook his head.

"Heh, too." Xiao Yang smiled, he and Lin Yuquan had been with Xu Jinglei for two months when they were filming "Huo Yuanjia", and naturally knew Xu Jinglei's character and habits.

After breakfast, Xiao Yang said goodbye and left, and he couldn't wait to go back to discuss the filming of "Old Boy" with Wang Taili. In addition, because he knew that Lin Yuquan would definitely be very busy, he didn't have much time to play leisurely together.

It is true that Xiao Yang left. Lin Yuquan immediately started to get busy, the New Year is about to begin, and if he wants to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival without being disturbed for a few days during the New Year, he must take care of things in advance.

The first thing Lin Yuquan did was to call Qiu Qingyi: "Tsing Yi, have you been to the company, that's the case." How are the characters of "October Siege" decided? ”

"Boss, I just arrived at the company. Is the actor finalized for "October Siege"? We have now finalized five main actors, the core character revolutionary funder Li Yutang is played by Chen Daoming, the action organizer Chen Shaobai is played by Leung Ka-fai, and the gambler Shen Chongyang Originally, we were more inclined to Zhen Zidan. However, Zhen Zidan wants to shoot "Ip Man", and finally finalized Zhao Wenzhuo, the coachman Ah Si is played by Liu Ye, and the concubine Yueru is played by Zhou Xun, they have all agreed to act, and the other actors are expected to be finalized in mid-February, and then negotiate with the actors and arrange role auditions. Qiu Qingyi, who received the call, although he wondered why Lin Yuquan asked the actors of "October Siege", he immediately replied that the five finalized actors were the result of an agreement between him, He Liwen and Chen Desen, and the actors for other roles were all disagreed, if there was no agreement in mid-February. An audition will be scheduled for the final decision.

"Oh." Lin Yuquan has read the script of "October Siege", and he knows the characters and the story very well, and the characters and actors flashed in his mind. couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, Zhou Xun and Liu Ye are indeed suitable, of course, Zhao Wenzhuo will be better if he is replaced by Zhen Zidan, at least in terms of commercial value, and then said: "The role of Yan Xiaoguo." Who did you consider, and why didn't you agree? ”

Yan Xiaoguo is the number one villain in "October Siege". He used to be Chen Shaobai's best student, because of the conflict with Chen Shaobai's revolutionary ideas, embarked on an extreme road, determined to serve the imperial court, willing to be the eagle dog of the Qing court, and was ordered to come to Hong Kong to assassinate Sun Yat-sen.

"There are four candidates to consider, Wu Zhengyu, Wu Jing, Qian Xiaohao, Zou Zhaolong, these four have excellent villain performances, Director Chen is more inclined to Wu Zhengyu, he wants to form a full lineup of actors, Wu Zhenyu is a Golden Horse actor, famous, and has acting skills, but Director He and I think that Wu Zhengyu is too old to play Liang Jiahui's student, and Yan Xiaoguo's role has a lot of fierce fighting scenes, Wu Zhengyu is also difficult to compete, Qian Xiaohao and Zou Zhaolong are also too old, Director He and I think Wu Jing is suitable, However, Director Chen felt that Wu Jing's aura and acting skills were not enough, of course, it was true, so we did not finalize the candidates, and we are still considering more actors who may be suitable. Qiu Qingyi said slowly.

"I have a person who may be a good fit, but I won't tell you for the time being." A smile flashed in Lin Yuquan's eyes: "Who have you considered for the other main characters?" ”

Hearing Lin Yuquan say that there was a suitable candidate, Qiu Qingyi was a little surprised, but since Lin Yuquan said that he would not sue him for the time being, he naturally did not ask too much, and slowly told about the situation of their consideration of role candidates: "We considered Ren Dahua, Huang Qiusheng, Sammo Hung, and Zheng Zeshi for the role of Fang Tian, the master of the troupe, all of whom are actors. "

Lin Yuquan nodded while comparing the actor selection with the character image formed by him reading the script, Qiu Qingyi, Chen Desen, and He Liwen were really careful when considering actors, many of them were suitable for starring in "October Siege" in his opinion, but there was only one role that he was not very satisfied with.

"Boss, who do you think is suitable, or is there a better candidate?" After introducing the situation in turn, Qiu Qingyi asked expectantly.

"On the whole, you all think about it comprehensively, just decide for yourself, I believe in your choice, but the role of beggar Liu Yubai, based on the candidates you considered, should eventually be played by Liming or Ekin Cheng, it is more likely that Liming, but I think Liming and Ekin Cheng are not the best candidates for this role." Lin Yuquan shook his head and said.

"Do you have a better candidate, boss?" Qiu Qingyi hurriedly asked.

"Absolutely." Lin Yuquan said affirmatively: "Do you know what I remembered for the first time after I read the script's introduction to Liu Yubai's character? "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", 17-year-old Wu Zhuangyuan, originally a suave rich child, then lived on the streets, begging along the street all day long, isn't this another image of Su Qi'er? And when it comes to Su Qi'er. Naturally, I can't help but think of Zhou Xingchi, the "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" he starred in is the most well-known of all Su Qier's film and television dramas, although "October Siege" is not a comedy. Liu Yubai is not a comedic role, but there is no doubt that in all respects, Zhou Xingchi is the best person to play Liu Yubai. ”

Yes, the best candidate, when it comes to commercial influence, Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal is far from being matched by Liming and Ekin Cheng combined. Perhaps the only concern is whether Zhou Xingchi, the king of comedy, can play the tragic role of Liu Yubai well, because Zhou Xingchi has left too deep a comedic impression on people. But at least in Lin Yuquan's opinion, there is no need to worry about this concern, he believes that Zhou Xingchi will definitely be able to act well.

Among all the movies starred by Zhou Xingchi, there are two movies that have brought Lin Yuquan a special feeling that is particularly unforgettable. Or it should be said that there are two roles, one is Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy", in this movie, he vividly interprets a dead runner who is full of honor and persistence for the profession of "actor", which is moving.

The second is Shi Jinshui in "Wangfu Jackie Chan", the movie "Wangfu Jackie Chan" is almost one of the lowest box office in a series of movies starring Zhou Xingchi, which may have a lot to do with Zhou Xingchi and Wu Junru, the two funniest actors and actresses, who are no longer funny. But "Jackie Chan" is definitely a good movie, it's not funny, but it's very warm, the kind of warmth that is unique to old-fashioned stories. It is often touching when it is casual or inadvertent.

Shi Jinshui, played by Zhou Xingchi, is an innocent young man who has been under the fence in the countryside since he was a child, and has made a private agreement with his childhood sweetheart for life, and escaped marriage and entered the city. In this film, Zhou Xingchi makes people forget his hilarious nonsense, and will be inspired by his wife to work hard, but he gradually falls in love with his female boss, has money and turns bad, and finally the prodigal son turns back. Shi Jinshui, who found his true love, played Iriki three points.

Zhou Xingchi, who can interpret Yin Tianqiu and Shi Jinshui so well, why is it difficult to play Liu Yubai, but as far as Lin Yuquan knows. In Zhou Xingchi's upcoming new work "Yangtze River No. 7", he plays the same not the king of funny comedy in the past, but a serious and down-and-out father.

"Zhou Xingchi." Qiu Qingyi smiled bitterly: "Boss, didn't I immediately think of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" and Zhou Xingchi after seeing Liu Yubai, and Director Chen's original actor conception also hoped that Zhou Xingchi would star, not to mention Zhou Xingchi's age and worth, now he may not appear in other directors' movies except for his own works, not to mention that it is just a supporting role with few scenes in the movie, and I am also worried about being like Ge You in "Night Banquet", because the image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes the audience laugh. ”

Lin Yuquan nodded, since entering the new century, Zhou Xingchi has only launched a total of three works, 2001's "Shaolin Football", 2004's "Kung Fu", and the upcoming "Yangtze River No. 7". But Lin Yuquan is very unwilling, although "October Siege" is not his own work, but he really hopes that Zhou Xingchi can star for many reasons, such as the sensational effect brought by Zhou Xingchi's joining, such as Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal, and most importantly, as a fan who once loved Zhou Xingchi's movies very much, he wanted to see Zhou Xingchi's more screen shining table before he couldn't act.

As for the laughter, there will indeed be, imagine that if Zhou Xingchi appeared on the screen in a tattered costume as a beggar at the beginning, I am afraid that anyone who recognizes it as Zhou Xingchi will immediately laugh, but Lin Yuquan believes that Zhou Xingchi will immerse all the audience in sadness and grief through his superb performance, just like the feeling he brought to the audience when he played the dead Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy".

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuquan said into the phone: "Tsing Yi, do you really not want Zhou Xingchi to star?" ”

"This, of course I hope that Zhou Xingchi can star in "October Siege", but this possibility is too small, so small that I don't have hope." After Qiu Qingyi hesitated for a while, he sighed and said, how could he not want Zhou Xingchi to star, as a producer, especially an excellent producer, he clearly understands what kind of influence it will be.

"yes, I also hope that, although this is unlikely, I feel that we should give it a try, and I am ready to invite him personally." Lin Yuquan said in a deep voice, giving up without trying, this is not his style, but from the deep desire of his heart, he must do this seemingly impossible task.

Qiu Qingyi, who was on the other side of the phone, was suddenly shocked. followed by a glint of anticipation in his eyes, although it was very difficult to invite Zhou Xingchi to act, who was Lin Yuquan. The effect of his invitation is naturally not comparable to that of him and Chen Desen, maybe it is really possible?

"Boss, I'm looking forward to your good news." Qiu Qingyi said excitedly.

"Heh, you seem to have more confidence in me than I do!" Lin Yuquan smiled: "Don't talk about this, remember when I said at the meeting yesterday that Director Chen Kaige was going to make another movie?" ”

"Of course I remember, boss, are you going to arrange for another director to shoot that movie?" Qiu Qingyi's mind was quick, and he immediately guessed Lin Yuquan's thoughts.

"That's right. But it's not just for another director to shoot, I'm going to hand it over to China Film to operate. We are only responsible for the investment. Lin Yuquan chuckled.

"Boss, is there anything wrong with that movie?" Qiu Qingyi immediately asked, Shuguang Film has sufficient funds, if it is not that there is a problem with the movie. For example, the investment risk is extremely high, otherwise there is no need to hand it over to China Film Shooting.

"Problem, no problem, director Chen Kaige plans to shoot the biographical film "Mei Lanfang" by the opera master Mei Lanfang, this film has commercial value, but the commercial value is not too prominent, and from the perspective of the subject matter, China Film is more suitable for the operation of this film than us, and they definitely like this kind of theme with national characteristics. Rather than our own efforts to shoot such a film that is destined to be less pleasing, it is better to leave it to China Film Shooting, with the support of their huge cinema chain. We don't need to put a lot of effort into it, we can get a good return, and at the same time, we can strengthen our relationship with China Film through this cooperation. Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes, from beginning to end, he never thought that Shuguang Film would shoot "Mei Lanfang", as early as when he was talking about the script with Chen Kaige, he decided to hand it over to China Film to shoot.

Qiu Qingyi suddenly suddenly. No wonder Lin Yuquan said that it would be operated by China Film, and the commercial value of "Mei Lanfang" is indeed not high. Perhaps with Mei Lanfang's influence, it is not difficult for the film to make money, but the nature of art films determines that it is difficult for him to make a big difference in China, it is indeed better to hand it over to China Film Film, which has political * political tasks every year, a film that is not only to complete political * political tasks, but also to bring commercial benefits, presumably China Film will go all out to run the film well, not to mention other benefits, the film schedule released in theaters must be very well taken care of.

"Boss Yingming, then I will contact China Film to discuss cooperation later, in terms of cooperation conditions, what should we occupy at least the proportion of investment?"

"There is no minimum, I think it should be a good cooperation condition for both sides to account for fifty percent, less we are not cost-effective, more, the other party has opinions, I will send you the script later, there are some places in the script that need to be modified, this is not in a hurry for the time being, wait for the cooperation with China Film, and then negotiate and modify, what you have to do now is to negotiate this cooperation, and buy the film and television adaptation copyright of "Du Lala's Promotion" as much as possible, and we want all of them in terms of movies and TV series." Lin Yuquan said slowly.

"Okay, boss."

After ending the call with Qiu Qingyi, Lin Yuquan did not delay, and immediately dialed the usual Ji Hong, asked her to contact Sun Honglei, invited the other party to join the Yuquan family, and offered Sun Honglei to join the conditions, in fact, it is not a condition, the Yuquan family does not have a sky-high signing fee, but just provides a better development platform for the other party, and it depends on Sun Honglei's own choice.

After finishing this qiē, he sat on the sofa and pondered how to invite Zhou Xingchi to star in "October Siege".

is also a top director in the Chinese film industry, Lin Yuquan and Zhou Xingchi have only had one dealing, that was at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in 05, when he was quite excited to meet his former idol, the two chatted happily, and then the two never dealt with each other again, at most they only sent blessing text messages during the New Year.

This situation is not that he doesn't want to deal with Zhou Xingchi, but because on the one hand, the two have no chance to meet on the same stage, and on the other hand, because of Zhou Xingchi's character, it is not for nothing that Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi can become good friends, they are radiant on the screen and are superstars in the Chinese film industry, but in private, both of them are relatively taciturn and reluctant to deal with others, so Zhou Xingchi usually does not contact him, and he will not disturb each other's life.

Just when Lin Yuquan was thinking about making a phone call, his mobile phone rang, and when he saw the name of the caller ID, he immediately showed a smile on his face, and it was Zhang Yi who called: "Hello, senior!" ”

"Hello, Rain Spring, are you at home now? Are you busy? Zhang Yi's hearty voice came from the phone.

"Yes, at home, is there anything going on? Senior, you say. Lin Yuquan got up and walked to the courtyard.

"Remember what I told you some time ago to ask you to come and help out with my Olympic Opening Ceremony team? We have a meeting at the opening and closing ceremonies at two o'clock this afternoon, and you just happened to be back in Kyoto, so come and help us check the gates, and you can't postpone it this time, we are now in the final stages of preparation for the Olympic Games. Zhang Yi said in a quick tone.

"Is it appropriate for me as an outsider to attend your meeting?" Lin Yuquan did not refuse this time, as the first Summer Olympics bid by the motherland, he should do his part no matter what, he was busy before, but just like Zhang Yimou, he has already said that he has the final stage of preparation, and he can't postpone it.

But as he asked, he is not the relevant staff of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, because there is no time, he did not accept Zhang Yi's invitation to join the main creative team, and he is not the art consultant of the Olympic Games, the art consultant issued a total of two batches in 06 years, including Chen Kaige, Ji Xianlin, Tang Yijie, Steven. Spielberg, Li and others, obviously, did not have the qualifications to be hired because of his age and qualifications at that time.

"Why is it not appropriate, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't have time, I would have applied to arrange for you to join our main creative team a long time ago, and you came to the meeting, all of us would be eager to participate? With your participation, I believe our opening ceremony will definitely be more exciting. Zhang Yi said directly.

"Okay, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, where exactly?" Lin Yuquan nodded and said.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, you will come over at half past one at noon, and the address is not far from your home, located in the operation center on the west side of the Olympic Village, and I will send it to your mobile phone later."

"Okay, by the way, senior, how did you know that I was back in Kyoto." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"What else, of course it's a newspaper, the scene where you had dinner with Ning Hao and Gao Xixi last night was filmed by a reporter."

"Oh, I see, it's really an unguardable reporter!"

"Smack." The loud sound of the palms touching the table top is particularly harsh and loud in the quiet office.

"It's the same reporter, why did others photograph Lin Yuquan and Ning Hao eating together, but you don't have any valuable reports? Value, what I need is value, not a report of the disappearance of a cat and a dog, why can't you bring back some news reports about Lin Yuquan? ”

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the "Kyoto Evening News", the editor-in-chief with eyes and a Sven appearance roared loudly at this time.

In front of him were two men and one woman and three reporters, in the face of his roar, but they didn't dare to refute at all, they could only secretly slander themselves, they wanted to shoot, but others Lin Yuquan was basically in the United States this year, where do they go to shoot, if they go to Los Angeles to shoot, will you reimburse the high round-trip air tickets and accommodation costs?

"I know what you're thinking, Lin Yuquan hasn't stayed in China for a long time, you can't shoot, I can understand this, but, now that Lin Yuquan has returned to Kyoto, don't find any more reasons, no matter what, I want to see Lin Yuquan's report, and it's a particularly strong report." The editor-in-chief said loudly.

"Editor-in-chief, what do you mean by a particularly powerful report?" One of the female reporters looked up and asked in a low voice.

"Do you want me to teach you this? For example, Lin Yuquan's love affair, scandal or something, a world-famous director who debuted for a few years has almost zero scandals, think about it, if you can dig out Lin Yuquan's relationship, what kind of sensation will it be? The editor-in-chief suddenly became excited as he spoke.

And the three reporters in front of him are also in a mood, what kind of sensational effect, it is needless to say, "bang", the whole world will be shaken by this.

"Okay, if you understand, hurry to Ziyu Villa to squat, remember, I need valuable news, if you can dig up the report of Lin Yuquan's relationship, hehe, I promise, the generous year-end bonus will not be a problem."

As soon as these words came out, the three reporters could not hold back and immediately rushed out of the door. (To be continued) R655
