Chapter 218: East Becomes West
"After Hong Qi left, it was raining all the time. Every time it rains, I think of a person who used to be very fond of me...... I don't know if it's a coincidence or some other reason, every time I leave her and have a long trip, it rains, and she says it's because she's unhappy. Later, she married my brother, and on the day she got married, I left White Camel Mountain......"
Looking at Hong Qi's distant back, Ouyang Feng inevitably thought of that woman again, which also happened to respond to the previous line: The biggest trouble of people is that their memory is too good, if they can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning, how happy do you say this is......
However, even if he is as cold as Ouyang Feng, he can't actually do it, because when he watched Hong Qi take his wife to explore the rivers and lakes together, Ouyang Feng understood Hong Qi's current mentality, and when he saw a mountain, he wanted to climb over it, even if he looked back and might not be as good as before, but with his character, he would not be willing if he didn't try.
So after Hong Qi left, Ouyang Feng was very jealous of him, jealous of his simplicity, as long as he thought of it in his heart, he could do it immediately, and he was also jealous that he could take his wife to the rivers and lakes, as Ouyang Feng himself said: "I once had such an opportunity, but I don't know why I gave up ......"
……
For a week, Xiao Ran basically stayed in the crew of "East Evil and West Poison", and also met all the actors, the actor of the East Evil Yellow Medicine Master is the senior brother Lei Xiaohu, and his long flowing hair makes him look very ecstatic.
And Murong Yan and Murong Yan, of course, are also the same person, played by Lin Qingqing, the new actress of the Golden Dragon Award, who has just finished filming a new drama on Jiayi's side.
plus Tang Yun, who was temporarily hired to play Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law. and Xie Wenxuan, who made a cameo appearance as a blind swordsman, and Xiao Xiao, the actor of the blind swordsman's wife Peach Blossom......
The cast spent almost every day in the desert. Of course, it's not a real desert, it's in Huaxia Film and Television City. The real scene of the desert city where "Journey to the West" was filmed before.
Because of Xiao Ran's presence, the shooting was extremely fast and smooth, and every staff member who had been complaining was now full of energy, and finally a week later, it was basically possible to announce the completion.
At this time, Xiao Ran gave another script, that is, "East Becomes West".
If Xiao Ran is asked to select the first three funniest movies he has seen in his previous life, then this "East Becomes West" is definitely qualified to be selected.
……
"East Becomes West"?"
In the conference room of Shaw Film Company, Xiao Ran found a group of actors from "East Evil and West Poison". But there are two more people, that is, Yuan Biao and Liu Kui, who just finished filming "Happy Battlefield" and held a celebration banquet.
Now seeing Xiao Ran come up with another script like "East Evil and West Poison", everyone is a little afraid, because "East Evil and West Poison" has been filmed for more than a month, and it is just ready to be completed, and every actor is very tired in this process, and even becomes a little depressed because of this movie.
Even Liu Kui and Yuan Biao, who did not participate in the filming, began to be a little afraid after hearing their complaints, and even decided not to make Wang Wei's movies in the future......
Now I see Xiao Ran take out the script of "East Becomes West" again. The scene was full of wailing, and the most important thing is that although they recognized the movie "East Evil and West Poison", they were not optimistic that this movie would get a good box office, and now "East Evil and West Poison" has just finished filming. Xiao Ran immediately took out another "East Becomes West", which made everyone think that Xiao Ran was a little crazy......
However, Xiao Ran explained: "Although the movie also uses the characters and martial arts in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is basically just the same name. The plot has nothing to do with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
Then the script was sent, and the actors knew that this was actually a comedy martial arts movie. It is a theme that has never been seen in the entire Chinese film industry, and it immediately made them very interested.
"East Becomes West" is mainly about the affair between the imperial concubine of Jinlun Kingdom and her cousin Ouyang Feng. In order to dominate the country, he decided to kill the king and seize the jade seal, but the three princesses of the Golden Wheel Kingdom escaped, and went to Jiugong Mountain to find the master with the intention of going down the mountain to restore the country, thus bringing down Huang Yaoshi and the little junior sister, on the other hand, in order to chase and kill the three princesses, Ouyang Feng got the flying boots from the national teacher, but because of an operation error, the boots fell down and killed Wang Chongyang, and Ouyang Feng was also entangled with the northern beggar Hong Qi, who was abandoned by the little sister of Huang Yaoshi, and in order to become an immortal, Emperor Duan also appeared at this time, plus Zhou Botong, who avenged his senior brother, and the rivers and lakes boiled all of a sudden……
"The actors in this play are basically the actors of "East Evil and West Poison", but the director will be handed over to the fourth senior brother to be responsible."
This is a completely nonsensical funny comedy, and all the actors of "East Evil and West Poison" are also used, but the director does not dare to be Wang Wei anymore, but is replaced by Liu Kui, who has just finished filming "Happy Battlefield".
Now the basic operation of Zhengdong Film Company, Xiao Ran has been completely handed over to Liu Kui to be responsible, and he can be regarded as Xiao Ran's most important brother, because in addition to being an actor, Liu Kui also has a strong directing ability, and the management ability of the entire film company is also constantly improving.
Because Liu Kui, like Lei Xiaolong, knows that his appearance can't become popular in the entertainment industry, at most he can be a green leaf actor, but the difference between the two is that Lei Xiaolong often daydreams, hoping that Xiao Ran can give him a chance to become an instant hit.
But Liu Kui basically doesn't have this idea, except for the occasional cameo as an actor, more time Liu Kui is learning how to manage a film company, and being a good director or producer, his idea is to be the one who can control a movie!
After "East Becomes West" was handed over to Liu Kui for filming, Xiao Ran's Ouyang Feng role will continue to be undertaken, but this version of Ouyang Feng is not as ruthless and cold as "East Evil and West Poison", but is treacherous and a little funny, basically the tone of the whole movie is mostly funny, and there is no discipline at all.
However, in this movie, a very important character must be added, that is, Emperor Duan of the Southern Emperor, basically one-third of the funny clips of this "East Becomes West" are played by Emperor Duan, and in the end, Xiao Ran really couldn't find a suitable person to play, so he simply handed over this role to Liu Kui to direct and act.
The actors of "East Becomes West" have been decided, and at the same time, another script has also been taken out by Xiao Ran, which is also a police drama, that is, "Police. Cha Story Sequel.
Xiao Ran handed over this movie to the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao to be responsible for alone!
Along the way, starting from "Law Enforcement Pioneer", Xiao Ran excavated the most righteous side of Yuan Biao, and for this reason, he also began to take charge of himself, filming characters similar to those with a strong sense of justice, which are also deeply loved by the audience.
Coupled with the fact that he has been an actor for so many years, in fact, the ability to control a movie has gradually emerged, but for the sake of prudence, Xiao Ran still handed over Wang Wei to Yuan Biao as an assistant director again.
Poor Wang Wei originally started to carry the banner of "East Evil and West Poison", but because of his excellence in filming, it can even be said that he regards money like dung, only the highest mentality of art still made Xiao then afraid, and finally took back his handsome seal......
However, even Wang Wei himself has no opinion, because everyone can see that this is definitely not Xiao Ran's excess, the filming of this "East Evil and West Poison" was filmed because of Wang Wei's willfulness, and the final budget of 50 million was completed, this movie has not yet been filmed, Xiao Ran finally added another 10 million investment, and the later publicity will cost money, that is to say, at least 30 million was defeated by Wang Wei, although many shots are beautiful after coming out, but the beauty of 30 million in exchange will only make people squirt blood!
So for Wang Wei's treatment, Xiao Ran just beat him back to his original form, in fact, he is already a good boss who is benevolent and righteous.
"Police. Cha Story Sequel" maintains the tough style of the previous work, the first half of the plot is that the villain Zhu Tao in the previous work was seriously ill and only had three months to live, so he was sentenced to go home and wait for death, because of the grudge with the protagonist Chen Jiaju in front, so Zhu Tao before he died found a lot of people to repair Chen Jiaju.
This also caused the conflict between Chen Jiaju and his girlfriend to grow, and in the end, Chen Jiaju was finally forced to resign because of the hooligans who came to provoke him in the restaurant.
However, in the middle of the story, the real villain appeared, Chen Jiaju, who was about to go abroad with his girlfriend to relax, dealt with a bomb extortion case in a large shopping mall, Galaxy Center, and no one was injured after the explosion.
was appreciated by the leaders of the original police department, and finally designed to reinstate him, and after starting to be in charge of the bomb case, Chen Jiaju realized that he was facing a group of very calm and highly intelligent bandits!
A bad person can rarely be so bad that he doesn't feel that he is doing a bad thing, but the image of a bomb bandit in the movie is more real, they know that they are doing bad things, but they also have their own reasons, that is, for money, just like the lines in the movie: "Even if you die so inexplicably, it is better than being poor for a lifetime." ”
This may also be the voice of many bad guys, and the advantage of this movie is that while creating the righteous image of the protagonist, it also perfects the psychology of the bandits.
And the reason why Xiao Ran can be completely handed over to Yuan Biao to be responsible for this movie is that the plot and characters of the movie are not too complicated, and the main focus is on the protagonist Chen Jiaju, whether it is a person from the police station, or a bomb bandit, or a bunch of beauties who handle the case, it is easy to find actors, and the plot is not too complicated to film.
This kind of police drama of the police catching thieves is actually a bit like the upgraded monster fighting mode of a fantasy novel in Xiao Ran's opinion, as long as you master this mode, you can basically make a good movie. (To be continued......)
