Chapter 665: Cheng Long and Jet Li

Like many Chinese, Luo Mo began to contact Hong Kong films when he was still very young.

Of course, I also know that there are many stars in Hong Kong films......

When Luo Mo was a child, his favorite was the kung fu movie in Hong Kong films.

The impression of Cheng Long and Jet Li is also the deepest.

After growing up, Luo Mo slowly began to have a concept of these things, especially after learning the third door later, Luo Mo had a lot of contact with these things, and at that time, Luo Mo knew more and more about Cheng Long and Jet Li, and there were more and more things about their status in the Chinese film industry and their contributions to Chinese films.

He also grew fond of these two people.

Cheng Long and Jet Li can be said to be witnesses of the glory days of Chinese kung fu action movies.

Luo Mo has always liked them for so many years, even if they are getting older and older, shooting kung fu movies, many times it can be seen that their skills are not what they were back then, but Luo Mo still likes them. is like Cheng Long, even if there is some negative news about him, Luo Mo also knows that he is in this circle, and he can confirm some bad things, but even so, he still likes ......

After all, there is only one Cheng Long in China, and there is only one Jet Li.

The two are icons of Chinese action kung fu movies.

The two actually have an important place in the hearts of Chinese fans, but the two basically did not cooperate before, until "The King of Kung Fu" ten years ago, the two finally had their first cooperation in that film, and contributed to the fight between the two kings of kung fu in front of everyone for the first time.

But in fact, that movie is also a bad movie strictly speaking...... The logic and plot are full of loopholes, which makes people feel particularly uninteresting, and the fight scenes between the two people, in many places, look a little anticlimactic, and they don't make people feel really enjoyable.

And now, Luo Mo just wants to bring the two together to make another action movie through his "Lost...... Give them another chance to do that.

If he can really do this, it can be regarded as leaving something very memorable for Chinese fans. Of course, not only that, Luo Mo also wants to use this movie to re-arouse the feelings of some Western circles about Chinese action movies, and these are still working hard to open up the market for Chinese films. Although Chinese films now have a large domestic film market of more than 30 billion yuan a year, if they don't get out of the world, Chinese films can only entertain themselves, and they will never be able to rise, let alone affect the world.

Therefore, even at a time like this, Chinese films still need to get out of the rut.

Luo Mo has been working hard for such a goal.

The plan for "Lost" has appeared, and this film is a movie in which Luo Mo has an idea and has spent more than a year or two writing the script.

The movie will be a two-man genre like "Infernal Affairs", and of course, the storyline is completely different.

Luo Mo wanted Cheng Long to play a character called Tang Chai, a desperate policeman, just like his performance in the police story, almost desperate for his life to fight crime. And Jet Li's Lu Qian is a modern wonder man, he will be chivalrous, but he is also very uninhibited, he will rob the rich and help the poor, eliminate violence and peace, but will also take their wallets after the violence......

Tang Chai has always wanted to capture Lu Qian, and the struggle between the two has already been going on somewhat.

However, Lu Qian has never done too much and has never killed anyone, so sometimes some government departments turn a blind eye to him, but Tang Chai still wants to catch him. In the process of discovering Lu Qian's traces, Tang Chai and another colleague Zhang Huayang immediately pursued Lu Qian desperately, and the two tracked Lu Qian all the way to the beach and acted separately. Then, Tang Chai suddenly couldn't find Zhang Huayang's footprints, and when he saw Zhang Huayang again, it was already yin and yang, and most of the murderer's spearhead was pointed at Lu Qian, which made Tang Chai's hatred for Lu Qian reach its peak. The two fought several times after that, Tang Chai did not succeed in catching Lu Qian, but he found that Lu Qian was covering up some things, these things, Tang Chai felt that they were Lu Qian's criminal evidence, after the two fought later, Tang Chai finally caught Lu Qian, and also got the 'criminal evidence' in his hand, but only found out...... It's a huge secret, the secret that makes him get lost at once and fall into a state of horror like never before......

This plot Luo Mo has been thinking about and writing for a long time, and it has gone through many revisions in the middle before it finally gets to where it is now.

However, for convincing Cheng Long and Jet Li, in fact, his own confidence is not very great......

It's not that he's worried that the two aren't interested in his movie plan "Lost...... In fact, Luo Mo feels that the vast majority of actors now, even real superstars, will be interested in their own movies, which can be seen from the fact that so many people are willing to join in with zero pay when "Yue Fei" started filming.

After "Yue Fei" conquered the global box office market and Nicholas Tse won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, everyone's interest in Luo Mo's new movie naturally went to the next level......

Under such circumstances, few people dare to say that they are not interested in acting in Luo Mo's films.

Including Cheng Long and Jet Li, it should also be ......

But the most critical point is that Luo Mo's "Lost" still needs two people to fight...... It takes a lot of martial arts scenes, which involve a lot of hard bridges and hard horses, and it will be necessary to resist hard when the time comes.

When the two of them were young, they were really hurt too much to make movies.

Cheng Long once had a serious injury to his tibia, his nasal bone was cracked many times, he had a brain hemorrhage, and even a sunken skull, and the brain fragments moved inward, and the tail vertebra cartilage and the like were seriously injured.

Jet Li, once ruptured two cruciate ligaments and lateral meniscus, and then even got the national third-level disability certificate, once the tail vertebra and spine were dislocated, the fifth lumbar vertebra was split, and after falling from a height, all seven ribs were broken, the stomach was displaced, and even the ankle was broken to the point that the soles of the feet could be twisted 180 degrees against themselves...... He was also fatally wounded......

are such two actors, and Cheng Long is in his sixties, and Jet Li is also in his fifties......

The two also tried to transform after entering a certain age, Cheng Long's "Shinjuku Incident", "Xinhai Revolution", and Jet Li's "Ocean Paradise" are all works they tried to transform...... But unfortunately, their transformation is already difficult, and it is not easy for many people to get out of this industry and then find another industry to achieve the peak after they have reached the peak in one place.

Becoming famous with action movies, and then one day wanting to slowly transform into literary dramas, such a thing is also full of great difficulties.

For such two people, Luo Mo wants them to make an action movie that is very likely to be a hard bridge and a hard horse...... This matter is really a little difficult to talk about, and it also makes Luo Mo feel that it is difficult to convince them.

But Luo Mo really wants them to leave such a pinnacle of Chinese action movies, how brilliant a Chinese action movie is, and leave two movies with the pinnacle of kung fu kings......

"The King of Kung Fu" really can't take on such a heavy responsibility......

In order to allow the two of them to play their best and shoot the most classic movies, in terms of action direction, Luo Mo chose Sammo Hung, of course, this also needs to be convinced......

The best action design in China is still Yuan Heping, but "Lost" is not suitable for Yuan Heping's freehand action with Chinese kung fu, Luo Mo's "Lost" is an action movie, not a kung fu movie, what you want is the collision of hard bridges and hard horses, although there will be many moves in it, but it is more likely to be a chaotic battle with MMA without specific fighting rules, this kind of thing, Luo Mo thinks Sammo Hung is more suitable.

And Sammo Hung and Cheng Long are brothers, and films such as "A Plan and Lung" and "Fast Food Truck" by the two and Yuan Biao will always be deeply left in Luo Mo's memory. And Sammo Hung and Jet Li have also collaborated on some movies, and the relationship between the two is okay.

Anyway, Luo Mo has made a lot of efforts for this movie......

But on the way to convince the two of them, Luo Mo still didn't feel very confident, and even he was not too embarrassed to persuade the two of them to accept such an invitation - they were really old.

However, despite such and such concerns, Luo Mo was still resolute and decided to do this.

Luo Mo first found Cheng Long, of course, the relationship between Cheng Long and Luo Mo needless to say, Luo Mo was looking for him to make a cameo appearance in "The Hangover", and the two have met many times on many occasions since then.

Luo Mo came to Cheng Long's house to tell him about it.

In fact, Cheng Long also knew Luo Mo's intentions, and he also knew that Luo Mo wanted to invite him to star in "Lost".

For Luo Mo, who came with this purpose, Cheng Long didn't know what to say in his heart, there were reliefs, worries, and a lot of thoughts......

Don't care how many people say that Cheng Long has a bad character and an indecent style, but at least, Cheng Long's status in the Chinese entertainment industry is unquestionable, and after so many years of development, Cheng Long's status in the entertainment industry is almost impossible to shake. Of course, when it comes to international influence, Cheng Long and Luo Mo are no longer comparable...... The afterlife is terrifying, and there is no way. But in China, Cheng Long's connections and strength are very strong, although Luo Mo is sitting on a behemoth like Qianmo Entertainment Company, and most people in the entertainment industry have to look at his face, but he is still very polite to Cheng Long.

This politeness is not only because he likes Cheng Long's movies and kung fu movies, but also because of Cheng Long's status.

Seriously, he likes Luo Mo's script very much, not to mention that this is still Luo Mo's movie...... Luo Mo's movie, the previous "Yue Fei" was a horror box office movie that won $4 billion worldwide! However, it has been difficult for Cheng Long to re-enter the European and American markets a long time ago......

He also wanted to cooperate with Luo Mo once, trying to impact his past regrets, not to mention, it was also his pursuit to be able to leave the classics that Luo Mo was pursuing......

But thinking of the various requirements of the movie, Cheng Long is also unconsciously worried about his physical condition and it is difficult to complete this task, after all, the years are unforgiving, even steel will rust, let alone more fragile people?
