Chapter Seventy-Nine: Come and See the Sketch? (4/4)
Cheng Long actually has a lot of good ideas.
In the early years, "Plan A", "Police Story", "Who Am I", including the later "Baby Plan", "Big Soldier", and "Zodiac" are all his creations...
He likes "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", in addition to being shocked by the story, part of the reason is that the two protagonists make him feel a little bit in line with his "Big Soldier"...
He wanted to meet with Shen Xudong and talk about the script in detail, Chen Musheng called Shen Xudong, of course Shen Xudong was happy, but... He couldn't leave.
"We're going to have a competition the day after tomorrow, I'm the director, and I have two more rehearsals tomorrow, and I can't leave..."
"That's... I'll ask my eldest brother if I can make an appointment another day! ”
"Oh..."
……
"Shocking Legend", that is, the filming of "Mythology" will last until the end of November.
This scene is said to have originated from a dream of Tang Jili, who traveled in Xi'an, saw a circle of terracotta warriors and horses, and when he slept at night, he dreamed that he had become a general of the Qin Dynasty and was leading his troops to fight.
Later, he was inspired to preliminarily sketch the story of love and patriotism in "Shocking Legend" through the study of "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang Benji".
Later, after the polishing of two well-known screenwriters, Wang Huiling and Li Haishu, the script was released...
However, Tang Jili's initial ideal candidate was Jin Chengwu!
But Cheng Long has always wanted to seek breakthroughs and transformations, so when he heard that Tang Jili was going to shoot a love story, he became interested.
After reading the script, I liked it very much.
General Meng Yi in the script is a brave and warlike general of the Qin State, which is different from Cheng Long's previous image.
For Cheng Long, not only has the image been subverted, but the ancient costume is also the first attempt.
In addition, some patriotic complexes in the script are also things that Cheng Lung has always wanted to show and spread through his influence, so Cheng Lung took the initiative to act.
As soon as Tang Jili heard it, the eldest brother had spoken, so he had to respond!
So Chenglong's version of General Meng Yi was launched - in fact, if it was starring Chenglong, the investor was willing to give 160 million production costs, and if it was Takeshi Kaneshiro, it would have to be halved...
Let's talk about the relationship between Tang Jili and Cheng Long...
In fact, it was invited by Mr. He Guanchang - Tang Jili's first work "Demon Flying Dragon" was favored by Mr. He Guanchang, the boss of Golden Harvest, and he invited Tang Jili to direct Cheng Long's "Police Story 3 - Super Police"...
Then, a career of collaboration began.
During this period, they collaborated on "Super Plan", "Red Fan Zone", "Police Story 4 - Simple Mission", "Mythology", "Zodiac", "Kung Fu Yoga"...
By the way, there is also "Rush Vanguard"...
Pulling it back, in fact, there is another person in the crew of "Mythology" who has a good relationship with Shen Xudong - Liang Jiahui!
Liang Jiahui was specially willing to come over to play the scene, Cheng Long told him that it was all literary drama, and he agreed, but after arriving at the scene, there were still action scenes...
Let him jump from a helicopter ...
The helicopter rent is very expensive, 500,000 a day, Cheng Long is urging all kinds of urges, Liang Jiahui gritted his teeth and jumped down. ’
But they have a good relationship...
"A Thousand Machines 2" deliberately ran over to bring his son to him...
On this day, Liang Jiahui saw that Cheng Long hung up the phone in a little frustration, so he asked him what was going on.
"I read a script and wanted to talk to the screenwriter, but he didn't have time..."
Liang Jiahui was surprised: "Which screenwriter dares not to give face to the eldest brother?" ”
"He said he was going to play in the school competition... Oh, it's Shen Xudong! ”
"Xudong?"
"You know him, too?"
Liang Jiahui nodded: "Of course, I just finished filming "All the People Witnessed", and I am about to join the group of a movie called "Manslaughter", and both works are written by him!" ”
"Oh? So you know him well? ”
"It's okay, I've met a few times..."Speaking of this, Liang Jiahui took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask!" ”
Cheng Long smiled and said, "Great, you have his contact information!" ”
……
It's useless to have contact information, Shen Xudong really can't leave!
After receiving Liang Jiahui's call, Shen Xudong was speechless, as for being in such a hurry?
Can't wait two days?
It's not a 100,000-strong thing...
Got up from bed and patiently explained what the sketch contest meant to him...
"Our teacher attaches great importance to this competition, and the most important thing is that I promised the teacher last year, and I have to be trustworthy!"
"This Chinese drama... Are sketch contests important? ”
"Well, it's very important, it's an annual competition in Chinese opera..."
Liang Jiahui nodded: "Big brother has this temper... Impatient... Let me tell him about it! ”
Indeed acute sub...
Otherwise, it won't kill anyone, you see Shen Xudong is very good.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Liang..."
Hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong picked up the water cup and took a sip, it will take a little time to continue the interrupted artistic discussion...
On the bed, Yan Danchen, who was lying down, asked him, "Who?" ”
"Teacher Liang Jiahui..."
Yan Danchen was surprised and sat up directly: "Liang Jiahui... Is that Liang Jiahui? ”
“… yes, he's looking for something about me..."
"How do you still have a relationship with him?"
Shen Xudong explained: "I wrote a book for Mr. Chen Daoming before, which is a two-man theme, and I found Liang Jiahui..."
“… You're amazing. ”
Oh, Yan Danchen won the role of Xu Zhiqing in "The Best Family", and asked him to reminisce about the past, and by the way, discuss the true meaning of art...
Shen Xudong readily agreed!
It just so happened that he had recently studied the works of Tindo Barras, and he lacked contact with the object - Senior Sister Chen Hao joined the group "Beauty Scheming"...
Yan Danchen originally wanted to play Xiao Yuruo - the female number one.
But this role has been given to Li Xiaoran, and Shen Xudong suggested that she focus on Xu Zhiqing...
Oh, and the script has six lines written, corresponding to six actresses - after all, there are only 40 episodes, which is too much to end at all.
pulled back, Yan Danchen sat on his lap, and then asked, "What is Liang Jiahui looking for you?" ”
“… Help me talk about it," Shen Xudong said succinctly: "Brother Chenglong wants to talk to me, but I have to participate in the sketch contest of Chinese opera the day after tomorrow, and I don't have time to pass..."
“… Brother Cheng Long..."
Yan Danchen doesn't know what to say anymore...
If she didn't know a little about Shen Xudong, she would really think that Shen Xudong was bragging!
It's Liang Jiahui again, and it's Chenglong's again...
Hung up five minutes later, and the whole person felt a little dizzy - Liang Jiahui asked the time, and then said that Cheng Long would come to the Chinese opera with him the day after tomorrow to watch the sketch of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...
