Chapter 158: The Revised Script
"Menjie, I really didn't expect that you kid would be able to do kung fu!"
After watching the video, Fang Chenglong looked at Men Jie carefully as if he was watching a monster, "I really don't understand you kid, you are proficient in filming and singing, and now you can even do kung fu, what do you need to master?" ”
What should a star master? I will!
He smiled secretly in his heart, with the Heavenly King system, he could naturally master everything, but on the surface, Menjie didn't say anything, grinning, "It's just a family kung fu, I will also be such a stick method, and the rest is basically nothing!" ”
"That's not easy!"
Fang Chenglong shook his head slightly, "I dare to guarantee, with your stick method, if you want to be an action star in the future, it will definitely become popular!" ”
For the constant praise of Fang Chenglong, Yuan Baye and others, Menjie really felt a little fluttery and embarrassed, nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't say anything.
"Fang Chenglong!"
When Fang Chenglong praised Menjie there, Yuan Baye gently patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be busy praising him first, let's sum up your next movie first!" ”
In Fang Chenglong's next movie, the action director invited is still Yuan Baye, so some action designs are naturally none other than Yuan Baye.
"My next movie? What do you mean......"
Listening to Yuan Baye's words, Fang Chenglong was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, slapped his forehead violently, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"That's right! If Menjie knows kung fu, the next film. You can shoot it as it was originally filmed! ”
Yuan Baye nodded slightly, and a flash of joy also flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, there are some things that some of the men are not aware of.
"Menjie. Listen to me! ”
Seeing that Menjie was a little confused, Fang Chenglong hurriedly said to Menjie, "In my next movie, the most important roles are me, you, and a heroine, but on the whole, your role ranks second in the movie." It's a little more than the heroine's play! ”
"Me in the movie...... To be honest, like the previous plays, there are mainly more action scenes. However, there are not much characteristics in character building, and you are a more outstanding character, but your role is ...... It's more highlight! ”
Got a highlight?
Hearing this, Menjie was slightly stunned. Some couldn't understand Fang Chenglong's words.
Fang Chenglong told Menjie before. The No. 1 supporting actor in the film is the image of a mad scientist, with a somewhat paranoid personality, who can give up everything, including life, for scientific research, so recently, Menjie has been practicing his paranoid temperament and wants to play this role well.
But now......
Fang Chenglong actually said that this role is very bright, could it be paranoid? This doesn't seem like a highlight!
"Originally, when the screenwriter was writing the script, the character I designed for you was a good friend to me. We both studied kung fu, but then I became an archaeologist. And you've become a scientist! ”
"But you're a scientist...... According to the screenwriter's meaning, he wants to shape you into the kind of character who has martial arts, is sharp and decisive, but is very paranoid in terms of personality, and your character is the most prominent in the whole film, which can be regarded as one of the selling points of the film! ”
Saying that, Fang Chenglong spread his hands helplessly, "But it's a pity that the actors I selected before and you don't know kung fu, and they are lacking in action scenes, so there is no way, so I asked the screenwriter to delete this plot, making you a powerless scientific researcher!" ”
"But now ......"
Grinning, a flash of joy flashed on Fang Chenglong's face, "Since you know how to work hard, I can completely reactivate the previous script, so I don't dare to say anything else, at least the movie will have one more selling point, the box office may be higher, and your popularity will definitely explode, and it is not impossible to even surpass me as the leading actor!" ”
Revise the script? Highlight the highlights of Menjie?
Hearing this, Menjie was pleasantly surprised, and he never thought that because of his kung fu, Fang Chenglong would make such a decision!
Indeed, in the film and television industry, there are many, many movies and TV series that have become popular, but because of the protagonist's Virgin, mediocrity or unprominent personality, it cannot be loved and remembered by too many audiences.
However, in these popular TV series, there will always be some supporting roles and villains, who may be remembered and loved by the audience because of their outstanding personalities and outstanding images, and they have become popular since then.
If you can get a good supporting role and play it well, maybe after the broadcast, you will get a harvest that surpasses the protagonist!
The previous performances of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Kung Fu", and "Jingwu Family" did not have such an opportunity, but now, ......
Here's your chance!
"Brother Fang Chenglong, thank you!" Menjie knew in his heart that Fang Chenglong helped himself so much, in addition to improving the selling point of the movie, he also wanted to support himself as a newcomer, and after bowing slightly, Menjie wanted Yuan Baye to bow again.
Without Yuan Baye to speak, it would be equally difficult for Menjie to get this good opportunity!
"Okay, let's not thank you here, Fang Chenglong, you go back to the screenwriter first, re-enable the original script, and then modify it slightly, after all, there is not much time left before the official shooting!"
Waving his hand, Yuan Baye said softly, "As for Menjie...... In the past few days, you will waste more time, stay in the crew for a while every afternoon, and I will give you guidance, after all, although the real kung fu is powerful, there are still some changes to apply it to making movies! ”
"Xie Lu, Xie Eighth Master!" Nodding, Menjie also knew that Yuan Baye was opening a small stove for himself, and he was naturally very happy to have the top action guide in the world to guide him.
At the same time, Men Jie is also sighing, it seems that whether it is Fang Chenglong or Yuan Baye, they attach great importance to the next movie, and for the sake of the new movie, even if it is to delay the filming of "Jingwu Family".
"That's right!"
Just as he was about to leave, Fang Chenglong suddenly thought of something, turned back to Menjie and said, "Don't spread today's matter first, and don't admit to the outside world that you know how to do kung fu for the time being!" ”
Don't admit that I can do kung fu? was slightly stunned, but in an instant, Menjie also understood what Fang Chenglong meant.
As an all-round artist involved in film, television, and music, if there is news that he knows real kung fu, it will definitely attract the attention of the outside world, which is a good selling point.
And this selling point, Fang Chenglong is ready to wait until the next movie is about to be released, and carry out some hype, when the popularity of Menjie will become more and more popular because of the movie, and the movie can also be hyped up by the topic of Menjie.
Although at the level of Fang Chenglong, the movie basically does not need any hype to gain huge attention, but benign hype, or calling it a shocking promotional film, some effects are better than nothing.
Therefore, Fang Chenglong didn't want to let the news of Men Jie's kung fu now be revealed.
"Okay, Brother Fang Chenglong, don't worry, I will never say it!"
Almost didn't think too much, Menjie agreed, although Menjie himself knows kung fu, but in order to avoid being labeled as an 'action star', Menjie is not ready to make too many action movies in the future, so that his acting career will be reduced.
"But...... Brother Fang Chenglong, many people saw it when I was dancing the stick just now, even if I don't say it......"
"Don't worry about that!"
Seeing the worry in Menjie's heart, Fang Chenglong shook his head slightly and said, "Later, I will ask the crew to come forward and promise that the video of your dancing stick will not be circulated before, as for what they want to say...... Then let's go! ”
"If they don't say it, forget it, but when they do...... At that time, you kid will become a topic of conversation again, and there will definitely be a lot of people who will pay attention to you, and when the time comes, in addition to increasing your popularity, there will be nothing to lose to us! ”
Grinning, Fang Chenglong felt like an old fox, "When the time comes, as long as you don't admit it, others won't have a way, wait until our movie is released, and this video will definitely become popular, so you don't have to worry!" ”
"That's right!"
Nodding slightly, pondering Fang Chenglong's words, Menjie couldn't help but praise in his heart, Jiang is really old and spicy, if you do what Fang Chenglong said, you will definitely be able to maximize your interests!
"Brother Fang Chenglong, I, I have one more thing to tell you!"
Without waiting for Fang Chenglong to leave, Menjie called Fang Chenglong, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly.
"Tell me what's going on!"
Seeing that Menjie was a little hesitant, Fang Chenglong said bluntly.
"Okay, then I'll say it!"
smiled awkwardly, and Men Jie also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said bluntly, "Now that Brother Huayi and I have terminated the contract in film and television, and only retained and renewed the contract in music, so when Brother Jackie Chan signs the contract with me in a few days, he will not look for my company, just find me directly!" ”
"Terminated? Haven't you signed a contract with Huayi Brothers for less than a year, how did you terminate the contract? ”
Slightly stunned, Fang Chenglong asked in some surprise, but when he saw a look of embarrassment flashing on Menjie's face, he instantly understood.
Menjie, this kid, actually used him as a gunman, and took the opportunity of the conflict between Jackie Chan and Menjie outside to terminate the rookie contract with the Huayi brothers!
"You kid, you know how to take advantage of the situation!"
smiled slightly, but he didn't have any disgust with Menjie's practice of protecting his own interests and using the energy of his friends, so he nodded and agreed directly.
"Okay, when the time comes, I will look for you directly, and I won't go through the Huayi brothers, so that your kid will get the full salary!" (To be continued.) )
