Chapter 574: Painted Skin
"Painted Skin" was an idea that Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen came up with unintentionally, and later felt that it was feasible, so they began to improve it and write it into a script. So the earliest confirmed director and actor are these two.
Ye Weixin is a rare director with a humanistic color in Hong Kong, and his early "Juliet and Liang Shanbo" and "Explosive Criminal Police" are all masterpieces. However, his really popular work is 05's "Slaying the Wolf", which is a hit in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.
A lot of times that's how it is, you have to go around for years to find the perfect partner. Just like Ye and Zhen, one is responsible for literary drama and the other is responsible for martial arts, but they complement each other.
Co-productions are the norm these days, and "Painted Skin" is no exception, but they are positioned as a medium-production film. After several negotiations, Dinglongda, Century Jiaying and a Hong Kong company in Beijing became joint investors.
Zhao Mo concealed something, but he didn't lie, Ding Longda was indeed not confident, because Donnie Yen had no box office appeal in the mainland, and he couldn't support a drama.
The filmmaker intends to change people, but they will definitely not do it over there, just going back and forth.
And Zhao Mo came to Chu Qing, in addition to really inviting him to read the script, he also had the meaning of temptation: this master is the best to be tempted, with the resources of others, everything is OK.
Anyway, the book was very thick, Chu Qing turned a few pages in the tea house, and wanted to take it home and read it again, but the other party naturally agreed.
In the blink of an eye, that evening, after he had eaten and punched again, he lay down in bed and studied the script. If you talk about "Liao Zhai", he has read it in the Chinese Opera Library, and he is especially impressed by the lily text "Feng Sanniang".
Pu Dada, you rotten man, huh!
All right......
The gist of the original work "Painted Skin" is: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Wang Sheng, who met a homeless woman on the road, and saw that she was young and beautiful, so he took her home and hid her in a secret room, and popped every day.
Unexpectedly, the woman was a demon who ate people's hearts. Soon it was spotted by a soldier. The Taoist priest had a good heart and gave Wang Sheng a floating dust, making him hang in front of the house, hoping that the evil ghost would retreat from the difficulty.
I didn't want the evil ghost to be angry and angry, so I dug Wang Sheng's heart and ran away. The Taoist priest was furious and destroyed it in minutes.
Wang Sheng's wife, Chen, went to beg a beggar in order to save her husband. The beggar humiliated her in every way and told her to eat her own phlegm. After Chen swallowed it, the beggar was nowhere to be seen, and she felt humiliated. So he went home and wept before the coffin. Who knew that her stomach was nauseated again and again, she actually vomited a fresh heart, and her husband came back to life.
This story teaches us: Eliminate the scumbag junior, and the world belongs to the original match......
And the script that Chu Qing reads, although it is processed by modern penmanship, has the same thoughts, which is the famous warning sentence at the end of the article: "Foolish world!" Obviously, the demon also thinks it is beautiful. Fool! Ming Ming Zhong is also delusional. However, the lover is fishing, and the wife will be willing to eat people. ”
To put it simply, what Ye Weixin wants to do is a ghost movie with a dark theme. It can be regarded as a marginal commercial film.
Chu Qing was entrusted with the matter of loyalty, read it seriously, and made some notes. The next morning, he went to the fitness club again. Zhao Mo waited there early.
The two of them sat down, and the other party was a little impatient, and asked, "Brother, what do you think?" ”
"I'll tell you the truth. Don't mind. ”
He organized his thoughts and said, "I don't know what the director thinks, but judging from the script. The tone is too low, and there's something quite sad in it. If you want to make a blockbuster film, that's not good, because there's less of a commercial element. If you just want to make a good story, I think it's a good script. ”
"How do you change that?" Zhao Mo blurted out.
“……”
He looked at the other party very strangely, I told you so much, it was for the sake of playing with me, why do you dare to ask me how to change?
And Zhao Mo saw that his expression was wrong, so he immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "I mean, you, are you interested in acting?" ”
"Huh?"
Chu Qing was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this matter, and when he heard the other party mention it at the moment, he could also consider it, so he said: "I can't decide now, I have to discuss it with the company." ”
Zhao Mo heard that he didn't say anything to death, and immediately became very excited, and said, "It should be!" You're welcome! ”
The two of them said goodbye, Zhao Mo flashed first, and he went to the gym as usual. But as he ran, he felt more and more that something was wrong, so he called Cheng Ying to check the details of Ding Longda and "Painted Skin".
After a while, Cheng Ying replied and said that Donnie Yen was preparing for the male lead.
Ouch, Chu Qing was suddenly very disgusted, not to anyone, but to this kind of practice of dragging others into the water when he didn't please the enemy.
……
"Painted Skin" is a co-production, and the Hong Kong side should take care of the market and interests of the Hong Kong side, and protect Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen. The mainland took advantage of the idea, but were skeptical about how much commercial value it would generate.
This is a very long tearing process, and the two sides begin to fight strongly on the basis of making money together.
Chu Qing didn't care about it anymore after he understood it, he hated bullshit the most, and he just wanted to be a quiet weight loss man at present. But it didn't work out, within a week after Zhao Mo, the heads of large and small film and television companies began to meet him in various magical ways.
Well, it seems that the entire entertainment industry knows that there is a monster farming copy called "Hosa Club" in the capital.
In fact, it's not bad for them, this product is like a little girl with yellow flowers, the door is not out of the door, and there is no place to contact the feelings.
In the end, Chu Qing was so annoyed that he had to ravage the treadmill at home.
Let's press this matter for the time being, just talk about "Traces of Heaven", which is about to enter the filming stage. As early as March, the company announced the relevant news, which instantly attracted a bombardment of game fans.
IP has always been unpleasing to both sides. You are close to the original work, ordinary viewers don't like to watch it, you are close to film and television, and other fans of the original work have opinions.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" had such high ratings at the beginning, and it was still scolded by game fans. However, there are fewer fans of "Xuanyuan Sword", and the combat effectiveness is also slightly inferior.
The company has been preparing for a long time, and finally held an official press conference on May 12. Since the two little flowers appeared as the protagonists for the first time, they attached great importance to it, and Chu Qing also rushed over to cheer.
In the afternoon, the lounge.
Yan Kuan, Chen Xiao, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Huang Xuan, and Chen Qiaoen sat in rows, Cheng Ying went to the venue first, and Chu Qing was tinkering with his mobile phone.
Yan Kuan and Chen Qiaoen were okay, but the four young people were very nervous, and they were holding the card prepared by the company to memorize: there were some spicy questions and standard answers, as well as possible emergencies and countermeasures.
After Chu Qing sent a text message to his daughter-in-law, he was happy as soon as he looked up, and said: "You don't need to carry it, the reporter won't be too difficult for you, even if there is, you can just watch it on the spot." ”
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
The four of them embarrassedly put away their cards and began to shake their hands and feet again.
Seeing this, Chu Qing deliberately teased them and asked, "How are you prepared, have you eaten the script thoroughly?" ”
"Okay." Chen Xiao responded.
"What do you mean it's okay?"
"Well, that's it...... I'm very confident! Brother Chen's heart twitched, this pressure is not ordinary.
Zhao Liying immediately relieved the siege, raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question." ”
"What?"
"Xiaoxue loves Chen Jingqiu, and Yu'er also loves Chen Jingqiu, but Yu'er is her best friend, so how can I show this state of getting along?"
Yo!
Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and she was able to ask this question, this girl was really pondering, so she said: "Then I also ask you, if Chen Jingqiu chooses Xiaoxue, do you think she will agree?" ”
"Uh......"
Baozi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think so, she should, should persuade Chen Jingqiu not to live up to Yu'er, and then sacrifice herself...... Ah, I see! Thank you, teacher! ”
Chu Qing smiled, a little gratified, on the understanding of acting: Huang Xuan is the first, the bun is the second, the dumb is the third, tsk, I am worried when I talk about this.
"The press conference is about to start, please enter."
At this moment, the staff came in to remind everyone, and everyone got up.
Chu Qing didn't go on stage, his movements were a little sluggish, and Master Liu sat in the innermost, also a few steps slower. So when everyone else is out, these two are still in the house.
Liu Dudu followed behind him, silent, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly said, "Teacher, your clothes are a little dirty." ”
"Where?"
He stopped, reaching out twice.
"Here!"
She trotted forward, her left hand lying softly on the man's shoulder, and her right hand gently dusting the gray mark. At such a close distance, it seems that you can feel the temperature of the other party, the lazy and kind temperature.
"I'm sorry, I forgot my phone...... Ah, I'm sorry! ”
Liu Dududu was secretly rubbing oil, but Chen Qiaoen turned back so undeadly, when he saw this scene, he suddenly screamed, and actually wiped his body and ran away.
“……”
Chu Qing was more painful and said, "Okay, you go over first, don't be too late." ”
"Oh."
She answered, bowing her head and flashing. He looked for it in his seat again, and casually put Silly Qiuen's phone in his pocket.
Ten minutes later, the press conference began.
Cheng Ying said first, mainly introducing the preparations, shooting plans and the main creators of the crew. Most of the people on stage are newcomers, but the media dare not despise them, everyone knows that what those two people are best at is to be small and big.
The examples of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Soldier Assault" are still fresh in my memory.
But you have to ask what you should ask, otherwise there will be no news. These entertainment records are all human spirits, and they swept over one by one, and invariably caught Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying and beat them violently.
"May I ask which of you is the female number one and who is the female number two?"
"Well, our roles are pretty much the same, we're all heroines."
"The two of you filmed "The Legend of Deer and Ding" at the same time, and now you are starring in "Traces of Heaven" at the same time, do you mind if others compare you?"
"Their positioning is different, there will be no conflict at all, next!"
If the two girls can deal with it, they will solve it by themselves, and if they can't cope with it, Miss Cheng will do it with a wave of her hand.
Chu Qing poked beside him, just looking at a few young people, and suddenly sighed. I'm not afraid that they will surpass themselves or those glorious seniors, but I'm afraid that they will hold their urine and go on the field and count the seconds to hit the streets.
