396 Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains
Li Wan was very surprised when he received Yu Dongqing's call.
"You want to make a martial arts movie? You really know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains. ”
Yu Dongqing smiled slightly.
He understood what Li Wan meant.
Martial arts films are one of the genre films with the largest audience in this time and space, with a large number of moviegoers, a large box office base, and the most fierce competition.
Some people make a lot of money, and some people lose all their pants.
However, Yu Dongqing didn't want to argue with him about this issue, but said: "I'll send you the script, you can see if you are interested." ”
"Okay, you send it to me, I'll take a look."
Only two days later, Li Wan called.
"Holly, it's well written, I'll take this job! How about talking about the specifics in person? ”
"When?"
"This afternoon, around two o'clock."
"No, I have something to do in the afternoon, go shopping with my daughter." Yu Dongqing heard this and immediately refused.
Now that my daughter is older, going out to play is either with classmates or with her aunt, and the time to go out with him alone is getting less and less, so I finally seized this opportunity today, how can I let it go?
"Okay, okay, I envy you that you have a daughter, so how about going to Minghui Tea House at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon and chatting while drinking tea?"
"To go that far?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.
Minghui Tea House is also in the Dajue Temple in Sujiatuo Town, outside the Sixth Ring Road in western Beijing, and is some distance away from the city.
Li Wan laughed when he heard this: "I heard that there is a dragon well in the teahouse that you like to drink." ”
"Huh? Okay, I'll go tomorrow! ”
At noon the next day, Yu Dongqing sent her daughter to her grandmother's house in Houhai after eating, and then drove straight to Dajue Temple.
Minghui Tea House is composed of six independent tea rooms, including Ming Zhi Xuan, Ming Si Xuan, and Hui Pavilion, and the overall layout is very neat for the north and south courtyards.
Yu Dongqing saw Li Wan in Ming Sixuan and was sitting at a tea table waiting for him.
"It's good, it's quiet." Yu Dongqing looked at the pines and cypresses outside the window and said with a smile.
"Come, come, taste their tea." Li Wan made Yu Dongqing a cup of tea.
Yu Dongqing sat on the wooden chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and praised:
"Well, that's right, it's West Lake Longjing, and it's Mingqian tea near Hupao Spring!"
"Sure enough, people in the industry say that you are a person who understands tea." Li Wan explained:
"I heard that at the beginning of March every year, Minghui Tea House sends special personnel to the Jiangnan Tea Area to pick and produce West Lake Hupao Longjing and Dongting Xishan Biluochun new tea, and cooperates with the Tea Museum to carry out harvesting and supervision to ensure the quality of tea."
"I know a lot, don't you don't like tea?"
"When I was younger, I loved coffee, and now I like the taste of tea." Li Wan sighed: "Old man"
"So if you say that, I'm already seventy or eighty?"
Li Wan smiled when he heard this.
The two chatted a few words and got to the point.
"I read the script, it's pretty good, and the producer's job will be handed over to me to ensure that you shoot comfortably and freely!"
Yu Dongqing looked for Li Wan to see this.
The two have worked together several times, and the other party does not interfere with the specific shooting of the film, let alone tamper with the content of the script, which Yu Dongqing is very satisfied with.
Now the "producer-centric system" is emerging in the industry, and the producer's power is getting bigger and bigger, from the selection of film projects to financing, and then organizing the creative team (including the right to choose actors), and even the final editing of the film, the publicity and distribution are all decided by the producer, and the director's power is greatly compressed.
There are pros and cons to any system, but Yu Dongqing doesn't like it very much.
"What do you think about actors?" Li Wan took a sip of the teacup and asked.
"Female No. 1, I am ready to let Mingmei play the role of Dongfang Undefeated." Yu Dongqing told the truth.
"Bright?" Li Wan raised his eyebrows: "Don't say it, the bright image and temperament are quite in line with this role." But with Mingmei's arrogant personality, she just wants to be a director, how can you be willing to film, it is estimated that you can only move what your brother-in-law says. ”
"What about the male No. 1 Linghu Chong role?" Li Wan asked again.
"I'm thinking about letting Li Yunzhuo perform, but I don't know if people have a schedule, whether they are willing to come." Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said.
"Li Yunjie is now a popular martial arts student in China, and it is really good to find him. As for whether you want to or not. I'll try it out of this way. ”
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Actually, Yu Dongqing and Li Yunjie also know each other.
When Lu Yongru filmed "Martial Arts Heroes", Yu Dongqing temporarily went to do a martial arts instruction, and the male number one was Li Yunjie!
Li Yunjie admired his martial arts design very much, and through this play, he also became popular and became a hot martial arts actor in China.
It's just that Yu Dongqing later played music and never came into contact with martial arts scenes again, and the two rarely contacted each other later.
The two talked about specific matters, crew preparation, filming location selection, etc., and discussed in detail after the investment and other budgets were made.
Hengdian, Spring and Autumn Tang Garden Photography Base.
Li Yunjie had just finished filming a costume martial arts film and returned to the hotel to rest.
When he returned to his room, he took a shower and then lay motionless on the bed.
Tired, very tired.
This is the biggest feeling after filming.
Since the filming of "Martial Arts Hero" became an instant hit, the subsequent film invitations have continued, and he has made no less than ten martial arts films of various types in five years!
There are popular ones, and of course there are bad movies.
The body can still eat for the time being, but it is already tired, and the heart is tired.
There is no longer the excitement and frenzy of the first time I filmed "Martial Arts Heroes".
Of course, the martial arts movements designed by Yu Dongqing, the temporary martial artist, also left a deep impression on him.
Otherwise, how could he become popular so easily?
It's a pity that Yu Dongqing just did a temporary vote, and people went to play music, and both China and Xiangjiang played well.
Last year, a comedy and suspense film was filmed on a whim, and martial arts films have long been left behind, which makes him very regretful.
The latter martial arts directors more or less borrowed the martial arts action of that drama when they made the film, but in Li Yunjie's view, it was just Dong Shi's imitation.
Li Yunjie was lying on the bed and was thinking nonsense, when the door was knocked on, and a man in his thirties came in, who was his agent Zhang Dongming.
Although the relationship between the two is that of hiring and being employed, their personal relationship is very good and they are more casual, and Li Yunjie is too lazy to get up.
"Yun Jie, I just received a call from Li Wan, I hope you can play the male lead in a martial arts film." Zhang Dongming sat on the sofa and said.
Li Yunjie has heard of Li Wan, a well-known independent producer in the circle, but he doesn't have the heart to do so now.
"Brother Ming, you also know that I'm quite tired now." Li Yunjie smiled bitterly: "Didn't you just refuse Director Lu not long ago?" To be honest, I really don't want to make any martial arts movies. ”
"I know, I also told Li Wan on the phone, but this guy has to ask your opinion." Zhang Dongming smiled:
"He said that it was a script written by Yu Dongqing and he was the director himself, so he had to be the male lead."
"Whoever directs it." Li Yunjie said casually, suddenly thought of something, and got up with a grunt: "Wait, who do you say?" Yu Dongqing? ”
