Chapter 297, Xu Krypton's four projects
Repulse Bay, a mansion.
At night, dazzling lights, beating music, and a spacious garden of more than 200 square meters are filled with a strong intoxicating atmosphere.
On the eve of the start of the Academy Awards, Yang Huangying invited Huangying's artists and friends in the circle to have a party.
The scene was very lively, Yuan Heping, Zhang Guirong, Zhou Gaochi, Hong Qibao, Cheng Cage, Xu Krypton, Xie Tingfeng, Wu Yan Group, Rong Group, Gillian Ah Sa and other stars were all there, plus the service staff at the dinner, there were more than 100 people.
Lu Bu naturally received an invitation, and it was Gu Tianle who came to pick him up at the airport.
But because he was rushing to Xiangjiang from Hengdian, and when he arrived at Yang Huangying's mansion, the party had already begun for more than half an hour.
"Abu!" At the gate, Gao Yuanyuan had been waiting for a long time, and the moment he saw Lu Bu, he greeted him with a sweet smile.
"Why don't you go in and wait, it's windy here." Lu Bu squeezed her hand and said softly.
"I'm wearing a thick one." Gao Yuanyuan's outfit tonight, the upper body is a windbreaker with a denim shirt and a black vest with a white undershirt, and the lower body is a combination of jeans and high boots, which is not only filled with the atmosphere of early spring, but also keeps warm with simple and fashionable items, as for coming out in advance, one is to wait for him, and the other is to participate in a private party of more than 100 people for the first time, and I am not used to it: "It's a little too noisy inside." ”
"Didn't you rest, okay? Why do you look so haggard? Lu Bu found that her mental state was not very good.
"Director Li is a workaholic, since the day he started filming, he has been shooting an average of 18 hours a day, if it weren't for my physical fitness now being better than before, I would have been tired a long time ago." Gao Yuanyuan pouted, with a little complaint.
"Is it like this? Blame me. Lu Bu thought that the script of "Raptor" was passable, but it happened that she, Xia Yu and Yuan Yu didn't take the play, so they gave it to them.
"I'm okay, Brother Yu was injured four times during filming, two dislocated knees, one was an eye abrasion from shrapnel, and one was a bruise on the back of his hand." Gao Yuanyuan continued.
"Is he coming?" Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned.
"I'm in it with Sister Xiang." Gao Yuanyuan returns.
"Why don't you go in?" Gu Tianle parked the car and came over.
"I'm waiting for you." Lu Bu smiled at him.
"Let's go, Mr. Yang, Brother Hong Qibao, and Brother Chenglang, they've been talking about you since the party didn't start." His man is valued, and Gao Yuanyuan is both proud and happy in his heart.
"Yes." Lu Bu smiled faintly.
Enter the mansion and come to the garden.
"You kid, why don't you wait for the meeting to end!"
"Punish yourself with three cups!"
"No, this party is almost funny."
Yang Huangying, Hong Jubao, and Cheng Cage rushed to Lu Bu with a smile and opened their mouths to denounce.
"The plane is late." Lu Bu said with a smile.
After a few words of chatter and laughter, Yang Huangying asked him to say hello first, and then sit down and have a good chat.
At a glance, there are people everywhere.
Most of them are acquaintances, some are familiar but can't be named, and some are unimpressed.
No matter how good his memory is, it is impossible to memorize all the Hong Kong actors by making up for Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas.
Those with characteristics must be memorable, such as Wen Bixia, who still has the charm of a red dress, and her "Shocking Change" with Ren Dahua is quite memorable.
"Eighth Master." Lu Bu gave priority to greet the master.
"Are you busy over there? Will your trip affect the filming schedule? Yuan Heping saw the launch conference of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" from the newspaper.
"I came here after making arrangements." Lu Bu has also invested, and he will definitely not let the crew spend money waiting there.
"Xiao Jin is with you?" Yuan Heping asked.
"Well, I invited my senior brother to be a martial artist." Lu Bu replied.
"Yes, you two brothers are more popular in the circle than I am now." Yuan Heping said happily.
"You're serious, how can we compare with you." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Alright, go get your hands on it." Yuan Heping waved his hand.
Lu Bu took a glass of juice and went to have a drink with Zhang Guirong, Tang Jili and others, and then found Xia Yu and said, "Injured?" ”
Xia Yu asked rhetorically, "What did Yuan Yuan tell you?" ”
Lu Bu nodded and said, "If you really can't do it, let Wu replace it, don't do it." ”
Xia Yu smiled: "I'm your brother, I can't do that difficult action, isn't it embarrassing for you." ”
Look at this, can you compare with me? Lu Bu said solemnly: "It's better to lose face than to lose your life, if something happens, Yuan Yang can't kill me." ”
Yuan Yan hurriedly said: "It's just a little injury, he always gets injured when he goes skiing, I'm used to it." ”
Xia Yu shook his arms, legs and feet, and said, "Look, it's really fine." ”
"See." Lu Bu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You still have to be more careful." ”
I went around and met a lot of "new friends".
The entertainment industry says that it is not big or small, it is not small to look down, and if you say two polite words in advance, you can shorten the distance between people faster, and secondly, if there is friction in the back, there is room for maneuver.
"Those supermodels have long legs, right?" When Lu Bu came back, a hint of playfulness flashed in Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes.
"It's quite long." Lu Bu deliberately teased her.
"Hmph, my eyes are straight." Gao Yuanyuan snorted softly.
"I admired them so I looked at them twice." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Admire?" Gao Yuanyuan was surprised.
"Yes, on such a cold day, it's a short skirt and a cheongsam, aren't you afraid of arthritis when you're old?" Lu Bu said nonsense.
"You ......," Gao Yuanyuan covered his mouth and laughed.
Lu Bu's eye-catching appearance, coupled with a height of 185, as well as a perfect body composed of strong pectoral muscles, knife-like eight-pack abs, and sexy mermaid line, the beauty is naturally a strong sticker.
Of course, handsome is at most a dewy relationship, and the most important thing is status.
can make Yang Huangying, Hong Jubao, and Cheng Cage greet the three entertainment industry bigwigs in person, and no matter how bad their eyesight is, they also know that they are the ones who should stammer.
The Xiangjiang entertainment industry has developed for so many years, and the rules have long been more mature than those in the mainland.
If you seize an opportunity, you can turn a pheasant into a phoenix.
But after all, it's a formal party, you can't be too direct, leave a phone or something, and contact you privately.
However, not everyone of the fifty or sixty stars present is used to Lu Bu.
The Xiangjiang entertainment industry and the mainland entertainment circle seem to be harmonious, but in fact, there are many people with colored glasses secretly.
For example, Huang Mou, who won the best supporting actor in "Infernal Affairs" at the last Academy Awards, collapsed at this time.
"Mainland Tsai doesn't deserve to come to this kind of occasion."
"I don't know what ecstasy soup I poured into Yang Sheng."
"The good mood is gone all of a sudden."
Huang was holding a glass of red wine in the corner, muttering sentence by sentence, gritting his teeth like watching his father's enemy.
Typical mental imbalance, I lick the boss like a cow and a horse, but the boss doesn't even look at it.
However, tonight was enough for him to feel uncomfortable, and Yang Huangying found Lu Bu again.
"This is Chen Musheng." Yang Huangying introduced.
"I've met Director Chen." Lu Bu went to visit the class at that time, and "New Police Story" also went to dinner together.
"It's better to know each other, he has a script in his hand, I want you, Jackie, Yuan Yuan, Ah Sa to star." Yang Huangying said.
"This ......" has a drama appointment as soon as it comes? Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "I have to read the script first." ”
"I'm going to get it now?" Chen Musheng asked.
"Don't worry, let's talk first, and wait for the party to end." Yang Huangying just mentioned this matter first, so that Lu Bu had a psychological preparation, and then beckoned Xu Krypton to come over, and said: "I chatted with Xu Krypton about four projects not long ago, all because of your feelings, it depends on whether you are interested or not, as long as you make a decision, the script, people and money will be in place immediately." ”
And also? Lu Bu was flattered and said with a smile: "With so many projects, I'm afraid I'm lacking skills." ”
Yang Huangying raised his hand and said: "This is a two-to-three-year shooting plan, don't worry, just determine your intention." ”
Lu Bu looked at Xu Krypton, not knowing what new ideas he had come up with to fool Yang Huangying.
Xu Krypton smiled crookedly and said, "Two are sequels, one is a remake, and one is an original." ”
"As for the sequels, it's "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Huang Feihong", A Chinese Girl has already asked Leslie, he said that if you play him, he will act, the two male protagonists are set, you are Ning Caichen, he is an old Taoist; Huang Feihong's words, you are the protagonist, Ghost Foot Seven, Pork Rong, and Ya Cha Su are all original members. ”
"The remake is "New Dragon Gate Inn", in fact, there was already a general story line after the filming was completed at that time, telling the story of three years after the Dragon Gate Inn was burned down, Zhao Huai'an, the woman, the great eunuch of the West Factory, the secret agent of the West Factory, the Tatar caravan, the inn guys and other people from all walks of life met at the Border Inn again."
"The original is a series of scripts that I, Chen Guofu, and Zhang Jialu have been planning together for many years, with Di Renjie as the protagonist, adding suspense, detection, fantasy and other elements to create an epic blockbuster belonging to our East."
After listening to his story, Lu Bu took a breath, and needed a little time to digest it.
Gao Yuanyuan on the side was stunned, just listening to the title of the film, she knew that it was a blockbuster, but if it was her, she was afraid that she had already signed the contract.
The so-called sequels and remakes in Xu Krypton's mouth are suspected of fried cold rice.
Let's talk about "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Once Upon a Time" first.
There are three Chinese girls, and the third part has the most substitutions, starring Liang Chaowei, Zhang Xueyu, Wang Guxian, and Liu Xun.
Without the two souls of Zhang Guirong and Wu Ma, I thought it would end up hitting the street, but the word-of-mouth and box office were not bad.
But Liang Chaowei replaced Zhang Guirong's position, and it is inevitable that he will be compared, anyway, there are many good and bad reviews.
Let him play Ning Caichen, I feel that it is not as reliable as playing Yan Chixia, but Zhang Guirong is nearly half a hundred years old, and he may be sprayed to "pretend to be tender" when he plays a scholar again.
However, he is quite interested in this series, mainly because he can bring private goods and let him Xiaoyun or Yuan Yuan play Nie Xiaoqian.
Huang Feihong is a little difficult to do, there are two mountains in front of Li Lianjie's version and Zhao Wenzhuo's version.
Li Lianjie's Huang Feihong doesn't need to say that the existence of the canon, like Huang Rihua's Qiao Feng, is a man who is invincible in the world with a sound.
Zhao Wenzhuo's version, judging from the effect after filming, does have merit, but it has a fatal injury, because Hong Kong films at that time were indispensable for entertainment, and the same is true for martial arts films, Li Lianjie's funny talent is not bad, and his demeanor when he was young also has a sense of joy, while Zhao Wenzhuo is masculine and upright, which affects the drama road.
In the end, the box office of "Huang Feihong 4" was less than one-third of the previous part, and the next fifth and sixth parts, the box office and word of mouth were even more unwatchable, Xu Krypton's "Huang Feihong" series has been in decline since then, but Wang Jing asked Li Lianjie to come back to shoot "Iron Fighting Centipede" and "Lion of the Western Regions" were box office hits.
This also shows that Huang Feihong can only make money if Li Lianjie acts.
Therefore, even if Lu Bu plays Huang Feihong, it cannot be said that he will be 100% recognized by the audience.
This is not as attractive to him as a Chinese girl.
This is followed by "New Dragon Gate Inn".
He likes this movie very much, and he has watched it no less than five times, and it is the top three martial arts films in his mind.
Liang Huihui's Zhao Huai'an, Lin Qingxia's Qiu Moyan, Zhang Manyu's Jin Jiyu, Zhen Zidan's Cao Shaoqin, Liu Xun's Jia Ting, Wang Tongchuan's Diao Buyu and other characters are still talked about by everyone today, thirteen years after their release.
These characters have made classics, and it is a beautiful wish to transcend them, but in reality it is almost impossible.
If the remake is not handled well, it is easy to become a ruined classic, not recognized by the audience, and it is also very difficult, "first feeling" improves the authority of the previous work, and it is difficult to create a more classic character image.
But this one he has the idea of a challenge, even stronger than a Chinese girl.
Finally, it was original, when he first heard the words "epic blockbuster", he immediately thought of Chen Kaige's "Wuji".
Although it has not been released yet, I don't know if it is a real epic or a fake epic for the time being, but from the analysis of the script, there is a high probability that it is a fake epic.
Coupled with the successive failures of Xu Krypton's "Legend of Shu Mountain" and "Black Man 2", this original script needs to be investigated.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Bu finally spoke, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thanks to Mr. Yang and Director Xu's love, I will first express my attitude, I am very interested in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "New Dragon Gate Inn", as for "Huang Feihong" and "Di Renjie", I want to read the script first. ”
Hearing this, Yang Huangying and Xu Krypton glanced at each other and immediately burst into laughter.
Yang Huangying said: "I'm right, even if I speak, he won't agree immediately." ”
Xu Krypton praised: "Xiao Lu, I like your character!" ”
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, hooking the corners of his lips.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.
The adult world only talks about feelings, which can only mean that you are not yet an adult.
It's true that he takes on the drama based on his preferences, but there is a standard for "preferences", not just by mood.
Whether the script is good or not always comes first.
A good script, you don't have to pay for it, or even I can pay for it.
Poor script, even if you give a salary of 100 million, if you add a little more to this, you can consider it.
It is precisely his character that will be favored by bigwigs like Yang Huangying, Hong Jubao, and Cheng Cage.
