Regarding the matter of the Glory of the Sea script, Shen Mengfei decided to visit Xing Ye in person to show his sincerity.

It's already April 2023, and it's worth mentioning that the movie Basketball Breaker was nominated for Best Picture of 2022 at the 95th Oscars, and Xing Ye was nominated for the Oscar as one of the candidates for Best Director at the 95th Oscars for directing the movie Basketball Breaker.

And Shen Mengfei was not nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor because he was too handsome in the movie.

In the end, the movie Basketball Saboteur won the 95th Academy Award for Best Picture, and it's a pity that Xing Ye didn't win the Best Director Award at the 95th Academy Awards.

Xing Ye did not go to the United States, and the Oscar Best Picture Award was finally sent to Xing Ye by the Oscar staff.

Although in the Oscar selection of the United States, the basketball saboteur only won one Best Picture award, in other countries and China, the film swept the major awards.

Shen Mengfei's first movie made him the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, which is often referred to as the actor.

Shen Mengfei's acting skills may not be so superb, but the setting of Shen Fei's role is too similar to Shen Mengfei, so Shen Mengfei's true colors can be played, plus the world's third-highest movie box office, Shen Mengfei deserves to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

Shen Mengfei successfully squeezed into the domestic 10 billion box office male god club with a basketball saboteur.

There were only a handful of people in front of him.

...

After Shen Mengfei read "Glory at Sea" repeatedly, he changed it to a script and printed it.

After handing over the important things of Mengwan Entertainment to Ye Wange and Xiaotuantuan, Shen Mengfei flew to HK alone.

The purpose of his trip was to ask for cooperation with Xing Ye's company to shoot Glory at Sea, and persuade Xing Ye to play the leading role in Glory at Sea, and at the same time, he also asked Xing Ye to invite Wang Zuxian out of the mountain.

Because of greeting Xing Ye in advance, after Shen Mengfei arrived in HK, he easily met Xing Ye.

The two sat in the tea pavilion in the backyard of Xingye's villa.

Shen Mengfei was holding a briefcase in his hand, and the script of Glory at Sea was in the briefcase.

"Xiao Shen, is there anything important that you came to me in such a hurry?" Xing Ye looked at Shen Mengfei and asked.

On the phone, Shen Mengfei did not mention the script, but only said that there was an important cooperation that needed to be interviewed by Xingye.

As soon as Shen Mengfei got off the plane, he took a taxi and came over directly, and he didn't have time to rest.

"That's right, I recently found a good script, and I came here to ask you to work on a movie together." Shen Mengfei said, opened the briefcase, took out the script, and handed it to Xing Ye.

"Oh? What script can Xiao Shen like, I'll take a look." When filming the basketball saboteur, Xing Ye found that Shen Mengfei definitely had the talent to be a director and screenwriter, and Xing Ye was very curious about what kind of surprise the young man he was optimistic about could bring to him.

After taking the script of "Glory at Sea", Xing Ye took a look.

"Glory at sea." Xing Ye muttered. Then I started to look at it seriously.

Half an hour later, Xing Ye finished watching the plot of fishing, his face was happy, and he felt that this script was too perfect.

This script must be more popular than basketball saboteurs when made into a movie, and Xing Ye likes this script very much.

"The author loves cats that eat bamboo, and this writer is not famous." Xing Ye said.

"Yes, this creator is a grassroots person, and now he has been signed by my Mengwan Entertainment Company."

"Master Xing, do you think you are quite satisfied with this script?" Shen Mengfei asked.

"This script is very good, Xiao Shen, how do you want to cooperate?" Xing Ye asked.

"What I think is that our two companies will jointly shoot this movie together, invest together and share the accounts together, I will be a double director with you, and you will play the role of the protagonist Jiang Shicheng, and you will not get paid, only dividends."

"And I played the role of Bruce as a supporting character. Male No. 2 Steve asked Mi Guo's little plum to come over to star, and about the role of Shen Xiangying, I want you

Please ask Wang Zuxian to come out of the mountain, what do you think?" Shen Mengfei told his plan.

"It's no problem for our two companies to make this movie together, and to be honest, I don't care much about money at my age, so it's good for us to split the bill. In addition, there is no problem with two directors."

"But I haven't played a role in a movie in a long time, and I'm not going to play a movie in it. Wang Zuxian has been in the shadow for many years, I can only do my best, and I dare not guarantee whether I can please move." Xing Ye said.

"Master Xing, there is no doubt about your acting skills, you must have no problem playing the leading role. I've read this script more than ten times, and this is really a good character for you to play." Hearing that Xing Ye didn't want to play the leading role, Shen Mengfei hurriedly persuaded him.

"The movie is very good, and the role of Jiang Shicheng is also very good, but I think I haven't made a movie for so long, so it's good to be a behind-the-scenes person in the movie." Xing Ye said.

"Master Xing, the final global box office of basketball saboteur is close to 2.5 billion meters, ranking third in the global box office. The success of the basketball saboteur has proven that Chinese films are capable of stepping onto the international stage."

"Glory at Sea is better than basketball saboteurs, and if it is made into a movie, it has a good chance of winning the throne of the global box office champion."

"Huaxia films need to really stand up, now that the script is available, we only need to use the script to invite investment, I think it can be easily solved, after all, the last movie was so popular, those investors can't wait to get a piece of the pie."

"The director has the two of us, that's enough. I'm not a good actor now."

"If we can make a contribution to the rise of Chinese films, then why don't we do it?"

"You've always been the king of comedy, but I know you're not just the king of comedy, you're also the king of acting. We can use this film to show the world that you are a great actor and get rid of people's stereotypes."

"Back then, you starred in so many excellent films that should have won the Best Actor Award, but in the end you were hacked, don't you want to fight back with your work?"

"In addition, if the Chinese can win the Oscar, isn't this a beautiful talk? This script is really good, and with your acting skills, next year's Oscar winner really has a chance." Shen Mengfei began to move with affection, understood with reason, and persuaded him.

Shen Mengfei's words are not unreasonable, Xing Ye's acting skills and (Glory at Sea) This excellent script really has the strength to impact the Oscar for Best Actor.

Since I was a child, I have often read that sentence: read for the rise of China.

As a hot-blooded patriot, Xing Ye certainly wants to contribute to the rise of China.

"In this way, I will be the director with you, no matter what, I will invite Wang Zuxian to be the heroine, and I will find Wang Bo to play the male lead. Together with the other characters, we will make this film one of the best films in the world." Xing Ye said.

"Mr. Wang Bo's acting skills are undeniably very good, but he is not suitable for the role of Jiang Shicheng, his appearance is not handsome. Jiang Shicheng was a talented and handsome guy when he was young, and Mr. Wang Bo is not suitable for this kind of role."

"Although your Tang Bohu back then was a funny style, it did not hinder the embodiment of your talent and temperament, coupled with your acting skills and your appearance, the role of Jiang Shicheng is none other than you." Shen Mengfei said.

Mr. Wang Bo's acting skills are indeed very good, but he is not able to control any style, and there are hard requirements for the appearance of Jiang Shicheng's character, if Mr. Wang Bo comes to act, he must not embarrass the post-production staff?

Xing Ye was handsome when he was young, and now that he is old, he still looks very handsome, so Xing Ye's appearance conditions are in line with the role of Jiang Shicheng.

"Let Shen Teng or Deng Chaolai play Jiang Shicheng, what do you think?" Xing Ye asked.

"Their appearance is okay, and their acting skills are also very good, but they are not the same age, plus their style plays such a serious role, I am afraid that the audience will be easy to play after watching it."

"Master Xing, our goal is to make a film that can be recognized by all foreigners, and they are obviously not suitable."

"Male number two

If it is Xiao Lizi, then the male number one must be a person who can control him in terms of acting skills. You must know that Xiao Lizi is an Oscar winner, and his acting skills are superb, and we in the entertainment industry want to find an actor who can suppress Xiao Lizi in terms of acting skills, except for you, I can't think of anyone else for the time being." Shen Mengfei said.

"I think of a person who might be suitable for the male lead." A person appeared in Xing Ye's mind and said.

"Who's that guy you're talking about?" Shen Mengfei asked.

In Shen Mengfei's personal heart, no matter who it is, no Xing Ye is suitable for the role of Jiang Shicheng, and Shen Mengfei is a little curious about who Xing Ye will move out this time.

"Brother Liu Tianwang Hua, he is handsome, has a temperament, and his acting skills are very good, it is estimated that no one is more suitable for the role of Jiang Shicheng than him." Xing Ye said.

"Liu Tianwang, he does have a temperament, he is handsome, and his acting skills are also very good, but Jiang Shicheng in (Glory at Sea) is an affectionate person, and a lot of acting skills have to be shown by his eyes, Liu Tianwang's eyes are not affectionate enough, and he is not suitable for roles that are too heavy in emotional dramas." Shen Mengfei has read the script many times, and he has a deep understanding of the characters in it.

Liu Tianwang is indeed not suitable for the role of Jiang Shicheng as Shen Mengfei said, but there is a role in it that suits him, that is, the head of a small fishing village.

"That's it, I haven't finished the script yet, and when I finish reading it, I'll think about it again, if I think that there is really no one more suitable for the role of Jiang Shicheng than me, then I will play this role." After many persuasions by Shen Mengfei, Xing Ye finally relented.

In fact, in Xing Ye's heart, why doesn't he want the audience to see himself on the screen again. What he needs is a good script and a good character, and the right person to persuade him.

All of these conditions have now been met.

In Shen Mengfei's heart, Xing Ye has already agreed to play the role of Jiang Shicheng, after all, the role of Jiang Shicheng is too charismatic.
