Chapter 188: Cooperation
"Infernal Affairs" is definitely a classic representative of Hong Kong films, this film won 7 awards including Best Film at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards for its outstanding plot and wonderful performances of the protagonists; In addition, it also won 5 awards including Best Feature Film and Best Director at the 4O Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
Of course, the reason why Wen Yi chose him was that in his previous life, when the film appeared in the extremely sluggish Xiangjiang film industry, it won more than 50 million Xiangjiang box office, which can be said to have blinded the eyes of countless people, and it is also a milestone film of Xiangjiang film.
At the same time, the film was also acquired by Warner at a high price for the rights to shoot. And the film filmed was above the Oscars, which was a great success and became the biggest winner of that year.
It's not uncommon for Hollywood to buy the rights and reshoot it, but it's absolutely rare. Moreover, the main thing is that it was a big success at the Oscars, and its impact was naturally even greater.
While Wen Yi was writing this film, another film flashed in his mind.
The prototype of the story of "Infernal Affairs" came from that film. And Wen Yi's next film plans to shoot this film: "Changing Face"!
However, Wen Yi is still a little worried. I am worried that my ability to control is not enough to support this film, because there are many big scenes involved in it.
If you don't have enough directing ability and ruin this classic film, it will undoubtedly outweigh the losses.
"I can't wait to make this film. However, it had to be suppressed. I have to think carefully about this script, although this script is very well written, even comprehensive. Xu Ke finished reading the script of the first part. Didn't read any further. Though. He was curious to see what Wen Yi would write a sequel to this script.
He Xu Ke is clear. Bite off more than you can chew. The first part is worth pondering and studying slowly.
Xu Ke is an old director after all, and he has always had a unique vision. He naturally saw that if this film was shot well, it would be another brilliant career for him. It will also bring him endless honors.
"You send me an email, and I'll send you the electronic version!" Wen Yi smiled and said.
"Good!" Xu Ke nodded, then reported his email, and then looked at Wen Yi. asked, "The investment in this film is not small, do you really plan to invest it all yourself?" ”
"It seems that Director Xu plans to invite a lot of big names!" When Wen Yi heard this, he smiled.
The film "Infernal Affairs" actually doesn't have much of a scene. What really spends money is the actor's salary. Just like the original in the previous life, just look at how many big names there are.
Why are so many big names invited, Wen Yi is psychologically clear, and the characters in it require extremely high acting skills. And this film, if the acting is not in place. It is very likely that it will ruin his classic Cheng dù.
Xu Ke must have seen this!
"Your film is a two-man film, if the actor's status of the character is not equal. From the audience's mind, it is very likely to be overwhelmed by the other, which will also affect the whole film. Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, Han Yan and Superintendent Huang, if their acting skills are slightly worse than each other, they may become the foil of the other party, thus affecting the classic Cheng dù of the whole film. Xu Ke said, looked at Wen Yi, and continued, "It seems that you have already thought of it." This film, with such a big investment, I'm not sure that I won't lose money! You really don't want to pull some investment and share the risk. Nowadays, Hong Kong films are not as good as in the past, and the taste of Hong Kong films is obvious. Moreover, you also know that the police movie was so almost filmed to death. ”
"Hehe, I believe in my script, and I also believe in Director Xu's ability. If you don't even dare to invest in the script you wrote, how much confidence do you have? And why bother writing this script! Wen Yi smiled and said, "Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, I don't know who Director Xu plans to invite?" ”
"Liu Qinghua and Liang Wei! You know both of them, especially Liu Qinghua, who just worked with you! Xu Ke glanced at Wen Yi, and then remembered that he had seen the three of them talking and laughing at the Academy Awards ceremony, and suddenly there was an unbelievable conjecture in his mind.
This guy didn't see the two of them and then be inspired to write this film! No matter how you look at it, the two people in this script are very consistent with the temperament of the two.
And after reading this script, the first thing that appeared in Xu Ke's mind was the two of them!
"Then the two of them, what do you think?" Wen Yi smiled and said.
"The two of them are not a small amount of money now!" Xu Ke smiled and said.
"I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf! Not every movie can make a small investment and a big return! Wen Yi said with a smile.
Small investment, big return, that's "Crazy Stone"!
Wen Yi is very popular during this time, and those who are so popular that they have a little connection with him will attract much attention.
Throwing Korean idol superstar and taekwondo master Choi Baek-kwan out of the ring like garbage with his foot is absolutely legendary, dramatic, relishable, and evocative.
The wonderful Cheng dù of this scene is more exciting in the eyes of many people than the fact that he beat South Korea's No. 1 master Park Zhenghuan vomiting blood.
Although it is not an era when a nation is being bullied, it is necessary to rely on a victory in a competition to enhance the pride and self-esteem of the nation. But Wen Yijun has defeated Japanese karate aikido masters, and now he has defeated South Korean taekwondo masters, which has too much impact and has been directly touted as a national hero by some media.
Whether Wen Yi is a national hero is debatable, but he is indeed very popular now, to the point that it can be said that no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry can match.
Wen Yi and Xu Ke will work together again, there were such rumors before, but they were quickly covered up by other entertainment gossip news.
And this time, Wen Yi's new film "Source Code" is still in post-production, and his movements are not a secret.
But suddenly it was rumored that Wen Yi's next film will be with Xu Ke. And this collaboration is no longer between an actor and a director, but between a screenwriter and a director, a producer and a director.
A collaboration between Jiayi and Xu Ke Film Studio.
This news appeared suddenly, and the attention it received was much stronger than last time. And before the media has been confirmed by the two, it is rumored that Liu Qinghua and Liang Wei will participate in this film at the same time.
The two major actors are participating in a film at the same time, and this news is definitely more exciting than the cooperation between Wen Yi and Xu Ke.
After all, Wen Yi and Xu Ke have not cooperated once or twice. The beginning can be traced back to "Once Upon a Time" directed by Xu Ke! What's more, the relationship between the two is really good. At the beginning, Xu Ke had supported Wen Yi in front of the media more than once.
One mountain does not allow two tigers! There are no two kings in one play!
This is definitely a potential taboo. In a play, if there are two big names that are comparable, there is a high possibility of an accident. Just like the "Special Identity" that made a lot of noise in the previous life, if something like that happens, in a sense, it is a taboo of "one mountain and two tigers, one play and two kings".
Of course, this is an unfavorable example. If someone can get the two kings to cooperate, it will definitely be an unexpected surprise. It's like the "King of Kung Fu" in the previous life!
Two Chinese international kung fu superstars appear in one film at the same time, with a bloody plot and lame logic, but is this film different and very popular?
The confrontation between the two kings is naturally extremely attractive.
Liu Qinghua and Liang Wei are still classmates and used to be colleagues. Although the two are friends and have a good personal relationship, the competition is fierce. The media also likes to compare the two. Now that the two of them appear in the same film at the same time, what will it be?
Although the two are not action stars, sometimes their acting skills are more attractive than fighting between the two.
Of course, this is just a rumor now, and it has not been confirmed by Liu Qinghua and Liang Wei at all.
And when the media was chasing the authenticity of this rumor, there was a strong news. The two major actors of the older generation, Zeng Wei and Huang Qiu, will also join the film.
Although Zeng Wei and Huang Qiu are not as famous as before, their acting skills are absolutely indisputable. When the two of them were in their heyday, it was you fighting for me. No one can overpower anyone! (To be continued......)
