Chapter 289: "The Legend of the Wicked" Chen Xiaochun
Come two, don't go over eighteen.
Something?
Ma Yudong had just opened the car door halfway and was getting out of the car, when he suddenly sat back down.
After Du Feng heard the voice, he turned around and asked curiously, "Why don't you get out of the car?" ”
Ma Yudong pouted, "I'm afraid of being blocked, what did you call just now?" ”
"Uh...... Hahaha, I said fruit bowl, what do you think? ”
Ma Yudong gave him a middle finger back.
Follow Du Feng to the store.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by loud music and exciting dancing.
Du Feng skillfully sat down at the bar and asked the bartender for two glasses of wine.
Don't look at him in his 50s, but he still likes this environment.
He pointed to a few beauties over there, "I think those ones are good, let's try them." ”
"If we can make an appointment, we can go back to the hotel early." Saying that, he really planned to go down.
Ma Yudong frowned, and immediately grabbed his arm, "Don't talk about those who have it and don't have it, just talk about what the hell is going on?" ”
"It's boring, you're so boring."
Du Feng seemed to really intend to wrestle with him, "What do you say is a man's goal?" It's nothing more than wine-colored wealth! ”
"But at the end of the day, it's all about enjoyment."
Ma Yudong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and forced back a beautiful woman who wanted to talk with his eyes, "If you don't say it again, I'll go back." ”
Seeing that he was really leaving, Du Feng said coldly: "Don't you want to shoot that movie?" ”
"But I don't think you're reliable, I'll show this script to other directors." Ma Yudong also figured it out, it's a big deal to find other directors, anyway, the script is with him.
Du Feng laughed...
This kid is different from the mainland actors he has met, interesting, and has an appetite for him.
"Okay, okay, then I won't go around the bush with you."
He pointed to the second floor, "I have a key left there, you go and get it back, even if you pass my test." ”
"It's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that, I'm waiting for you here." As he spoke, Du Feng stared at the beauty intently.
Ma Yudong frowned, looked at him, stopped talking, and finally set his eyes on the second floor.
There were two bodyguards guarding the stairs on the first floor, and then on the second floor, there were five or six more people visible to the naked eye.
Ma Yudong first ruled out violent tendencies.
You can't move too much, otherwise there are so many guests here, and the ghost knows that the action is a little bigger, will it attract reporters?
And now that the Internet is so developed, whoever uses his mobile phone to secretly take a picture and post it on the Internet, he can't defend it at all.
Since the use of force is impossible.
He got up and walked to the guard on the first floor, the two younger brothers were chatting, and suddenly saw a man who was bolder than them, and subconsciously became vigilant, "What are you going to do?" Do you have an appointment? ”
Ma Yudong took out his mobile phone from his arms, "I'll tell your boss." ”
The two younger brothers were stunned.
No, didn't the boss say that he was going to embarrass him?
In the end, he reluctantly reflected that this kid was lying to him!
Suddenly made a straight face, "I'm sorry, since there is no agreement, we won't let you go up, go back." ”
Ma Yudong knew in his heart, "It should be your boss who must make you clear." ”
He pointed to Du Feng, who was looking at the beautiful woman, "He asked me to come over." ”
The younger brother hesitated.
That's a friend of the boss.
The two looked at each other, but finally shook their heads and did not speak.
But this is enough, Ma Yudong has already got the information he wants.
Obviously, this is what Du Feng deliberately arranged.
Although he doesn't know whether he is good or bad, Ma Yudong does not intend to act according to the other party's plan.
Du Feng, who was about to ask for contact information, suddenly turned around, "Why did you come back so quickly, you got the key?" ”
Ma Yudong spread his hands, "Of course not." ”
This time, he ordered a glass of wine unhurriedly, "You have a problem for me, so I'll tell you a story." ”
Du Feng turned his chair with curiosity on his face, "What story?" I'm listening. ”
Once upon a time...
There was a rich man who had two sons.
The rich man is old, but he doesn't know which son to inherit his family business.
He pondered and thought of his self-made youth, and he suddenly had an idea to find a good way to test them.
He took his two sons to a city far away, gave them a bunch of keys and a fast horse, and saw who came home first, and opened his locks to enter the house.
Whoever goes first will receive the right of inheritance.
The brothers galloped and arrived home almost at the same time.
But in the face of the locked door, both of them were worried.
The elder brother had a bunch of keys, but he could not find the most suitable one, and the locks were still locked;
The younger brother was in a hurry, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he found that the key had fallen halfway without knowing when.
The two brothers were sweating profusely.
The younger brother suddenly thought of something, and quickly found a stone, and smashed the lock in front of him in a few clicks.
He went in without a hitch.
Naturally, the inheritance fell into the hands of the younger brother.
How smart Du Feng is, he instantly understood the meaning of this allusion, and his face changed.
Before he could speak, suddenly Ma Yudong smiled, and his arms firmly tied Du Feng's shoulders.
With this nearly 60-year-old man, he walked to the second floor step by step.
And the two guards saw that they were really friends with the boss, and immediately got out of the way.
On the way to the second floor, several other bodyguards were still subordinates, or arranged people, and they didn't know what to do when they saw this scene.
Then I saw Du Feng's extremely dark face, "What do you see?" Don't get out of here. ”
The enemy got out of the way.
Ma Yudong accurately found the set of keys at the corner of the second floor.
Holding it in his hand, "Director Du, it seems that I have succeeded." ”
Du Feng grinned in pain at this time, "I know, you succeeded, put me down, my old bones are about to fall." ”
As soon as Ma Yudong let go, Du Feng immediately took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and rubbed his arm.
But unexpectedly, he didn't scold Ma Yudong, but was curious: "How did you come up with this method?" ”
It's a bit interesting not to break the game from the inside, but from the outside.
Ma Yudong handed the key back to Du Feng, "Then you don't care, anyway, the agreement between the two of us has been reached." ”
Du Feng drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Don't worry, I'll be honest with my words." ”
"I don't know how you came up with the method, but you finally achieved your goal, and that's enough."
】
"But have you thought about anything?"
"Making a movie is not just something that can be done by relying on a director and a leading actor, what about other supporting roles?"
Ma Yudong was stunned, shouldn't these be the director's preparations?
Du Feng laughed, "Of course, but your script for me is too sudden, and I need a month to prepare..."
"It's not an easy thing to set up a crew, contact the actors for auditions, and see if the actors have a schedule."
If you can't get it right, a month is not enough, and a year and a half is not impossible.
Ma Yudong's face sank.
He knew that his method of breaking the game was a little weird, and it might have been unexpected by Du Feng, so the other party was unhappy and gave him a second dismount.
But he really couldn't stand to shoot again in a few months, and the daylilies were cold!
Du Feng knew his intention and said with a smile: "Since you already have a purpose, then you go and find a few actors for me, and I'll see if they are qualified." ”
and reassured him that he would definitely be able to catch up with the award ceremony of that year's Academy Awards.
How many days does it take for a Hong Kong movie to be released from preparation to release?
It only takes 7 days!
These words were said by the famous director Wang Jing's father, the famous director Wang Tianlin.
In Xiangjiang, this phenomenon is called Qijixian.
Wang Tianlin recalled in an interview:
From Thursday, the producer immediately looks for actors, ready-made scripts or popular, a ghost director, and a team of fast-moving staff, and it can be done in one day.
Everyone talks together, and the director gives a general idea of how to shoot the film, and the film can start shooting on Saturday, and the dialogue is written while shooting.
Sometimes you can take a copy and shoot it, and at the same time you have to print and edit.
On Monday, the shooting was completed, and on Tuesday I did a day of aftercare and printed copies overnight, and Wednesday was exactly seven days.
One copy is taken for review, and the others are sent to the cinema for screening.
Although Du Feng is not so fast, a movie is not like the mainland, which takes three to four months.
His films generally go from formation to completion, no more than two months at most.
It's like Hollywood's industrial film assembly line.
Hollywood makes a movie, and the director only needs to shoot what he wants according to the script.
The rest is dedicated to the rest.
As small as going to eat at noon, the problem of meat and vegetable matching does not need the director to distract him, and people have formed a set of industrialized processes.
Hong Kong Films also has a set of industrialized processes.
No... It should be said that the director has a set of processes.
Teach the director how to compress the time as much as possible and make full use of the venue, actors, and other factors.
Filming here, I can even shoot five or six scenes a day.
The plot is simpler, and it is not impossible to have ten scenes a day.
This is far from what mainland actors can hold.
got what he wanted, Ma Yudong ignored him, patted his pants and walked out of the bar.
Du Feng watched him leave.
His friend who was the owner of the bar came down from the second floor, "I think this kid is acting quite weird, and he is quite compatible with you." ”
Du Feng scolded, "He's just a bastard who doesn't respect the elderly, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and sooner or later he will suffer!" ”
The boss laughed.
Isn't this the same as you?
Du Feng is also a wonder.
A "Gunfire" that once finished filming a "Gunfire" in 19 days, the more you watch it, the more you watch it, the more you shoot it, the more you shoot it, the
He doesn't use John Woo's white doves to set off the heroic atmosphere because his movies don't have heroes.
He won't play Xu Laowei's cool stunts, because he doesn't have the world's number one master in his movie.
He also doesn't say Wong Kar-wai-style dialogue, because there are very few children in his films.
Even Du Feng's films are diametrically opposed to the entire mainstream film.
But that's it, but he broke out of a path, a path of his own.
The boss felt that he and Ma Yudong were the same, and they both had the same personality in their bones.
The boss waved his hand and called the two beauties over and pushed them to Du Feng's side, "You two serve him well." ”
Du Feng pushed them away diametrically opposite today, "Forget it today, I have to go back to read the script." ”
It was a script sent by his old friend, just to let his movie break 100 million at the mainland box office and give him a key to enter the mainland.
………
The movie "The Legend of the Wicked" is about:
The boss of the resurrected organization who accidentally became the target of the chain killer.,And the violent criminal police in order to catch the chain killer by no means to unfold the story of the crime action blockbuster.。
The name of the movie "The Legend of the Wicked", as the name suggests, all the characters in this script are really villains from the beginning to the end!
Even everyone's most trusted police uncle is mixed with gangsters, but it is also very in line with the unique film market in Xiangjiang.
This is a domineering cooperation between black and white, a delicate and reciprocal relationship of survival.
This is the most dangerous gray trade in a superficially calm society, but it is also a straightforward representation of the truth and distortion of human nature.
However, it seems that it can be released in the mainland for the sake of compromise, and there is no shootout in this play.
After Ma Yudong read this script, he was also very excited.
The plot of this film is not complicated.
What's complicated is that each character is very three-dimensional.
He will eat black and black, but he will also hold an umbrella for children he doesn't know.
That criminal policeman seems to be eliminating evil for the people, but in fact, he is unscrupulous, and he is not much brighter than him, the boss.
In this film, there is no distinction between good and evil, good and bad.
And the closest thing is very similar to Ning Hao's "Golden Tribulation", but it is Ning Hao's understanding that he summed up after suffering a setback.
But Wu Siyuan had already written the script a few years ago, and Ma Yudong had to admire that the other party's vision was really vicious.
This lead actor is simply tailor-made for him.
Without even reading the script, Ma Yudong can figure out what to do next and how to play this role.
There is a feeling of being at ease.
This is the first time that someone has taken him as a prototype and tailored a role, and Ma Yudong doesn't want to live up to this script.
But he is not familiar with life here in Xiangjiang, and it is not easy to find a suitable movie actor.
In addition to the male protagonist, there are two other important roles in this play, one is the criminal policeman and the other is the killer.
These two people also have a lot of roles in the movie.
And most of the Xiangjiang actors Ma Yudong knows are already big stars who have been famous for a long time.
Why do they match a newcomer who has just broken into the Hong Kong film industry?
And the newcomer to Xiangjiang films, Ma Yudong doesn't know any of them. This made him very entangled.
In desperation, Ma Yudong called Andy.
Andy is filming the movie "The Storm".
After the crew heard that Ma Yudong had come to Xiangjiang, the whole person was very happy, "Dongzi, I'm in xx place, come and find me." ”
Ma Yudong took a taxi to come here.
I spent more than 100 oceans painfully, and finally met Andy.
As soon as they met, Ma Yudong spat out, "I always feel that I was pitted by the driver just now, and I went to the viaduct in various ways, went around and around, and went around me for more than 100 yuan." ”
Andy smiled and hugged him, "Then don't think about it, you must have been cheated, and at first glance, you are bullied by outsiders, so I will take you on a long detour and go to the viaduct." ”
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner later, and I'll make up for the fare for you."
Ma Yudong shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I won't mention the fare or anything, I'm in a hurry now, and I want you to help with something." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Ma Yudong said that he wanted to come here to make a movie, cooperated with director Du Feng, and Wu Siyuan wrote the script.
And said: "I want to find two actors now, do you have any good candidates?" ”
Xiangjiang is not big.
Andy has worked with both directors.
It's just that he looked at Ma Yudongdong curiously, "How did you know Boss Wu?" He's been out of the film for many years, I didn't expect him to write a script for you personally! ”
Andy didn't know what to say, "What's the name of your movie?" ”
The Legend of the Wicked
Good name, straight to the point.
Andy was also taken aback by this name, and habitually touched his nose, "How do I feel, your movie is even more evil than my previous "Infernal Affairs"?" ”
He just made a joke, and then looked at Ma Yudong seriously, "What kind of actor do you want to find, tell me the conditions." ”
Ma Yudong found that there were two inland actors in the crew of "Storm".
One is Hu Jun, who has acted in the TV series Qiao Feng, and the other is Guo Furong in Wulin Gaiden.
He nodded slightly at the two of them, "I need two actors, one is a killer." ”
"I want to find a killer with better acting skills, he wants to play a perverted killer in the play, tricking the victim out of the car on the grounds of a car accident, and then taking out a knife to kill, indiscriminate attack."
Andy nodded, that's quite a pervert, ordinary people really can't handle this scale.
"The other is a criminal policeman, who is determined to serve the people, but his methods are too drastic and unscrupulous, but his skills are good."
Andy suddenly smiled.
This is the same as the character design in the movie he is playing now, he is also a policeman here, and his methods are a little intense.
"Otherwise, I'll play you as a policeman."
The corners of Ma Yudong's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly, "You're here, who still looks at me?" ”
Although Andy's joining will definitely make this movie a box office hit, Ma Yudong has not forgotten that his purpose this time is to win the award.
Then naturally find some people who are not as famous as him.
Although it is very selfish, it is also very realistic.
Andy was very interesting to his friends, and immediately named a few candidates.
………
The first candidate.
Ma Yudong came to Tsim Sha Tsui in West Kowloon, which is a top-floor duplex building, in the Xiangjiang where every inch of land is valuable, the buildings here are either rich or expensive.
It's just that the person Ma Yudong wants to see this time is very strange.
It was a man who was ridiculed as a soft rice man.
The man who married Cai Fen's big star, a not-so-well-known actor and part-time martial arts instructor.
Zhang Jin!
When Zhang Jin met Ma Yudong, he was very enthusiastic, "I know you, the best starring actor in this year's Chinese New Year movie, but why did you come to me for?" ”
"If you're looking for my wife, I can put you in touch."
It's no wonder that Zhang Jin is so unconfident, it's really that compared with his wife, his career is very different.
His wife is a well-known actress, and he is a martial arts instructor with occasional cameos.
I don't know how we got together in the first place, maybe it can only be said that it is the magic of love.
Ma Yudong took the tea he handed over, put it on the coffee table, looked at Zhang Jin, who was cleaning the housework in an apron, and asked, "Do you want to hide behind your daughter-in-law all your life?" ”
In an instant, Zhang Jin clenched the mop.
The squeaking of the plastic mop even shows his anger.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" The attitude instantly cooled.
Ma Yudong was not afraid, but laughed, "This is like a man." ”
He looked at Zhang Jin, "Throw the mop aside, and I'll take you to act." ”
"Acting, what play?"
"A film directed by Du Feng."
Zhang Jin was immediately overjoyed. But then he frowned, "I have to discuss this with my daughter-in-law." ”
Ma Yudong frowned, are you serious?
Do you need to discuss this with someone else?
Did you really look at the wrong person?
Zhang Jin knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
It turned out that his daughter-in-law had just given birth, and now there is a phenomenon called postpartum depression.
It is not serious, but it also needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and he is now at home with his daughter-in-law.
Ma Yudong nodded, "You are a good man, okay, you continue to accompany your daughter-in-law." ”
This opportunity is someone else's.
He doesn't get in the way of a good man.
Ma Yudong got up and was about to leave, not giving the other party a chance to redeem at all.
When he walked down the stairs three or four steps, Zhang Jin suddenly came out of the room and yelled in the corridor: "Can you really take me to make a movie?" Make me red? ”
Ma Yudong looked back at him, "Let's make a bet." ”
"Just bet, if my movie box office exceeds 100 million, you join my girlfriend's company."
"If you win, I'll help you find a male lead movie from Bad Monkey Pictures."
Zhang Jin is willing in his bones, no matter how bad the result is, won't it be much worse than he is now?
If it is really successful, then joining Ma Yudong, a resource coffee, is also a victory.
But his marriage for so many years made him subconsciously think, what if his daughter-in-law denied his resolution?
Just when Ma Yudong was about to lose patience.
A voice suddenly came from the elevator behind him, "Promise him." ”
It was his daughter-in-law, Cai Fen.
Cai Fen actually knew Ma Yudong, and when they were filming "Step by Step", the two crews often visited the house.
Cai Fen was very domineering, and came straight to Ma Yudong, looking at him seriously, "Brother Dong, my husband will be handed over to you." ”
Ma Yudong grinned and gave her a thumbs up, "The heroine among women!" ”
After the matter was decided, Zhang Jin welcomed his daughter-in-law back to the room, "Daughter-in-law, why do you agree?" ”
Cai Fen knew that he felt sorry for himself.
But what woman doesn't want her man to be a hero?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And she checked the bad monkey plan, which was a support plan held by director Ning Hao for emerging directors.
This kind of plan will inevitably get to know more directors, maybe her husband will meet which director, and the last blockbuster?
"Then we can live a good life, and we don't have to be a family of four crammed into this 80-square-meter hut."
The heart-to-heart words made Zhang Jin instantly firm up his inner thoughts, "I will definitely let you live a good life!" ”
The other side.
Ma Yudong also came to the second actor's house.
This is the villa area.
The owner needs to be contacted to release it.
The phone was answered, and it was a female voice, "Hey, hello, who are you?" ”
"Hello Sister Cai'er, I am a staff member sent by Director Du Feng, I want to meet Brother Xiaochun, is he at home?"
Cai'er shouted on the other side of the phone: "Chen Xiaochun, come and answer the phone, it's Director Du Feng's person!" ”
