Chapter 106: A New Script

In order to echo the script "The Legend of Ip Man" that was about to be handed over to Xu Guangwen, Xiao Ran handed over another one to the eighth master, and the script originally called "The Loser" was renamed "The Legend of Ryazan".

Because this movie is actually based on telling the story of Mr. Ryazan, the movie is interspersed with how Ryazan got acquainted with the successors of Wing Chun, Leung Er Di and Wong Wah Po, and finally learned the most systematic and authentic Wing Chun from them.

Although there are a lot of jokes in the whole movie, that kind of treatment is not a big problem, but makes the whole movie full of fun.

In fact, these two movies were released in the previous life, and the difference between the release time was nearly 30 years, although the film technology was not so strong in the 80s when "The Loser" was released, but it did not affect its classicism at all.

So in this world, Xiao Ran handed over the scripts of the two movies to the two directors respectively, and even Xiao Ran himself couldn't say which of the box office results was stronger or weaker in the end!

However, because the two movies are movies with the theme of Wing Chun, it can be said that it is almost tailor-made for the entire Xiao family class, "The Legend of Ip Man" Xiao Ran intends to play Ip Man by his father Xiao Yuanshan, and another translation character in the film, Xiao Ran is handed over to the fourth senior brother Liu Kui to be responsible.

However, recently, Xiao Ran began to find that because of the increasingly harmonious cooperation with the Struggle Film Company, the fourth senior brother Liu Kui often followed behind the eighth master, and seemed to have a sense of wanting to worship him as a teacher.

And Xiao Ran, who grew up with Liu Kui since he was a child, also knows very well that this fourth senior brother is actually one of the seven little blessings who likes movies the most, and his liking lies in the fact that in addition to filming and being an actor himself, he also likes to study other people's positions.

For example, the position of martial arts instructor and cinematographer and director, which Xiao Ran sees in his eyes.

So after the establishment of Xingyi City Film Company, Xiao Ran also began to arrange for Liu Kui to study with the new director.

And this new director Wang Wei, who Xiao Ran dug up with a lot of money, is actually a character that all bosses in the industry are afraid of, because when he made his first movie, the budget given by the investor was 10 million, but it was not filmed well after more than 30 million, and finally it was directly added to the budget of 40 million, and the total box office could not even reach 20 million after the reluctance was released!

His film investment boss was so angry that he hung in the hospital for several days, but before he was discharged from the hospital, he heard that the film was nominated for the Golden Dragon Award, the most authoritative representative of the highest achievement of film in China.

But despite this, such a thorn was immediately squeezed out by the industry, so Xiao Ran included him in his banner very lightly, intending to use him to train the new director!

Because Xiao Ran can see that this is a director who is very good at coordinating actors and using lenses, the reason why he always shoots is because he has too many ideas and always strives to do his best, which is why he can be nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for his first film from the position of cinematographer to director!

And if he has enough budget and a suitable script, Xiao Ran won't mind letting him make a movie that can win awards at that time!

But now Wang Wei's task is to help Xiao Ran take his first apprentice, that is, Liu Kui, before there is no filming.

As for the other northern martial arts master Jin Shan to find, Xiao Ran handed it over to the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao, his skills are not the best among the seven senior brothers, but he is the lightest in action and the best coordination, Xiao Ran is thinking about what position to put him in.

The other actors Xiao Ran did not designate, and it was up to the company's people to deal with it, because after "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was a box office hit and even broke records, when he heard that Xiao Ran wanted to open his own film company, many professional filmmakers chose to surrender to him, so at this time, the team of Xingyi City began to gradually complete.

Regarding "The Legend of Ryazan", the same theme of Wing Chun, Xiao Ran is ready to directly let his senior brother Lei Xiaohu play the starring role in Ryazan, and his younger brother Lei Xiaolong has to put on makeup to play the harlequin next to him, that is, the funny character who seems to have an egg in his mouth.

This is also something that can't be helped, although Xiao Ran really wants to help Lei Xiaolong, but after the MV of a song of "Little Apple" was filmed, Lei Xiaohu's ** accumulated hundreds of thousands of new fans within a few days, but Lei Xiaolong was still just a flash in the pan and then forgotten.

This is the cruel truth of the entertainment industry, because this circle is originally a circle of faces, and it is very difficult to become popular with Lei Xiaolong's appearance, and he must take a path that ordinary people rarely take, that is, starting from a harlequin!

That's why Xiao Ran will arrange such a role for him, and finally the two Wing Chun masters of Ryazan apprenticeship, Liang Erdi's role is a little feminine and feminine because he sings Cantonese opera cameos in the movie, Xiao Ran used the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying to play it, and Huang Huabao is a more masculine and funny role, which happens to be the third senior brother Sanmao who became popular because of "Kung Fu STYLE" before.

Although Sanmao is very popular now, he is a nostalgic person, he understands that it is Xiao Ran's credit to today, so although the schedule is very busy, as soon as Xiao Ran opened his mouth, he immediately pushed a few plays and directly threw himself into Xiao Ran's arms, which also made Xiao Ran very moved for a while!

And there is a villain in this movie at the end, Ni Fei, the prince of the Manchu Dynasty who is very strong in the background, because he is obsessed with kung fu and extremely confident, so he is looking for people to learn from!

But because of his identity, every time he encounters a strong enemy, that strong enemy will be secretly killed by the killer of the prince's mansion, just to fear that he will be hurt, and he happened to find Liang Erdi, Ryazan's master, to learn, but in the end he was not Liang Erdi's opponent.

After the two finished fighting, his bodyguard knew that according to Ni Fei's temper, he would definitely find Liang Erdi again, and his fists and feet would inevitably be injured if he had no eyes, in order to avoid this situation, they killed Liang Erdi, so on the day of the master's funeral, Ryazan invited Ni Fei to compete, and finally defeated him with Wing Chun!

This Ni Fei's role is actually a very brilliant character in the play, and he is not an ordinary villain, because he really doesn't know that the prince's mansion has been assassinating those masters he can't defeat, so after being defeated by Ryazan in the end, he was not killed!

As for Ni Fei's role, Xiao Ran thought about it for a long time, and finally let the seventh senior brother Yaoyang play it, because in Xiao Ran's memory, this seventh senior brother is also a martial idiot!

Although his father Xiao Yuanshan's comment on him is the worst in martial arts qualifications, he is the hardest working one, and his kung fu after hard training is also very good, plus his face looks cold and cruel, and he is born to play a good material for playing a villain, so Xiao Ran naturally plans to let him start as a villain.
