The King of Kung Fu, a bad movie that gathers Chinese action ceiling actors.

Chenglong, Li Lianjie.

Li Li, Liu Yifei, Zou Zaolong.

With such a luxurious lineup, it turned out to be a movie that had a split box office reputation at home and abroad.

The core reason is actually the fault of the tomb of the three dragon emperors of the mummy.

Invite a foreigner director to shoot an oriental story written by a foreigner screenwriter.

Even with the double J teaming up, it still made a movie that disappointed the audience.

This film can be summed up in one sentence.

A Western-style story cloaked in the mystery of the East.

The male protagonist is a thin white man, likes to watch old Hong Kong movies, loves kung fu, and is bullied by gangsters every day, at a life-and-death juncture, he crossed with the gold hoop stick he held from his father's antique shop, and came to ancient China.

He traveled with Chenglong, joined Liu Yifei halfway, and then joined Li Lianjie, the four of them Journey to the West, went to the hall of the Yujiang God of War, and tried to rescue the petrified Sun Wukong.

The slots are full.

It's not so much the king of kung fu as the Sino-American co-production of Lord of the Rings III.

The escort ring was changed to an escort stick, and the monk Li Lianjie who joined halfway was the "Gandalf" who came with a mission, especially when Li Lianjie appeared on the stage at the beginning, he was still riding a white horse and wrapped in a white cloak, no matter how you look at it, it is Gandalf's taste.

In the end, Li Lianjie, the role of Gandalf, completed the sublimation, exposed his identity, and sublimated from monkey hair to Monkey King, which is similar to Gandalf who returned to the world after being promoted, Fang Yu is very skeptical that the screenwriter of the King of Kung Fu is copying the Lord of the Rings.

Gandalf Li Lianjie, the human emperor Chenglong, and the elven prince Liu Yifei.

The Lord of the Rings are all together.

What a pity! Pity.

put Li Lianjie and Chenglong in the same frame, and as a result, such a movie was made.

It would be good if they had enough scenes, but they had to add a white male protagonist to the movie, watching a white man grow up all the way, Li Lianjie and Chenglong's scenes were cut again and again, which is very in line with the public's impression of Hollywood directors and screenwriters.

The screenwriter and director are disgusting, so the audience will naturally give corresponding respect.

Even with the joining of two kung fu celebrities, the box office of this film in North America is only more than $50 million, and the global box office is only $127 million, which is very unsatisfactory.

Chenglong and Li Lianjie, who were enthusiastic and opened Double J Company, also learned about the reduction of their influence through this film, Chenglong is old and no longer fights, Lian Jie is sick, and he doesn't want to continue to fight, and the follow-up is completely settled.

The King of Kung Fu can be said to be a waste of resources and a waste of two good actors.

It's not that it's completely uninteresting, the five-minute battle between Chenglong and Li Lianjie in the film is still worth watching, and if you don't feel sorry for the movie ticket money, you can still go to the cinema to kill time.

Coming to Lionsgate, Fang Yu met with the members of the main creative team.

Director Rob Minkoff and screenwriter John Fosk sat on one side, Li Lianjie pressed the scene, and Zou Zaolong and Li Baibai also came to the conference room early.

"Oh! Stephen! Director Rob Minkoff shook hands with Fang Yu.

Looking at this director, Fang Yu thought of a joke.

"You also said you are an animation director!" ’

Rob Minkoff, famous director.

It's just that the direction of his directing is a little different, he is an animation director.

The Lion King, the Elf Mouse Brother, and the Genius Glasses Dog are all from this director.

The director who made the animation came to make a kung fu film, and it is conceivable that the future of this film is very worrying.

The director and screenwriter were quite polite when they saw Fang Yu, after all, Fang Yu's achievements were not something that ordinary practitioners could achieve.

Latent, the ninth at the global box office, the key cost is still so low.

Fang Yu is not only an actor, but also an investor, producer, and screenwriter.

"Ghost Record", "Resident Evil", "Latent"

The posters of the three horror films are pasted outside, and Fang Yu is the youngest horror master of the contemporary era!

Such an all-rounder, all practitioners, as long as they are not directors and producers of the level of Cameron, Spielberg, and Peter Jackson, whoever sees Fang Yu has to be polite.

Seeing that foreign directors and screenwriters also respect Fang Yu so much, Li Yu, who came to the scene early, had his heart pounding!

It's the right person!

Fang Yu didn't even look at Li Yu.

After hugging Li Lianjie, he shook hands with Zou Zaolong, who met for the first time and said that he didn't know martial arts.

"Can I read the script?"

Fang Yu got the script and found his own role.

With one more him, the script must be partially changed, and after a brief look, I can be regarded as understanding the screenwriter's routine.

Sure enough.

The original white male protagonist, Li Lianjie, Chenglong, and Liu Yifei, have more people in the four-person "experience-learning" team.

There are many of these people, which is Fang Yu's character.

Fang Tian, the Sword God of the Arsenal, after being demoted to the mortal world, looked for the "Skywalker" and tried to counterattack the Heavenly Court.

"How? How is this character written? Screenwriter John Fosk is looking forward to Fang Yu's evaluation, after all, Fang Yu is a hot post-80s screenwriter.

"Very good."

Fang Yu has been in Hollywood for a long time, and he is also used to this set of Westerners, whether it is good or not, and he must not offend anyone.

"That's great! I also designed a modern fight scene on your New York campus! It's going to be cool for sure! ”

"Okay."

After perfunctory finishing the foreigners, Fang Yu pulled Li Lianjie to reminisce, "Brother Jie, you voted for this film, if I ask you to shoot it, how much will you pay for your appearance?" ”

"Friendship price."

Fang Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Lianjie's brokerage company has quoted 120 million RMB in the past two years, and the friendship price is 100 million RMB, which is still very expensive.

"Brother Jie, if I want to shoot Heaven and Dragon Slayer 2, can you support some here?"

"Why did you shoot that? Aren't all the books you wrote yourself pretty good? Li Lianjie said he didn't understand.

Fang Yu looked at Li Lianjie with complicated eyes.

He was trying to fill the hole.

wants to fill the hole dug by Wang Jing and draw an end to his childhood.

The leader of the Demon Sect of Heaven and Dragon Slayer is Fang Yu's opinion, one of Li Lianjie's best-watching movies, and now while Li Lianjie is still in good health, he can still be moved, and if he shoots this film earlier, it can be regarded as an explanation to all audiences.

"What piece?"

Hearing Fang Yu speaking Chinese here, Zou Zaolong also came over.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer." Fang Yu just said halfway, and then he realized that Zou Zaolong also played the villain in that film, and he could invite the two actors this time.

"Is Brother Zou willing to act?"

"Of course!" Zou Zaolong, who is born with divine powers, is relatively easy to communicate, and he can't ask for such a scene.

Seeing the Chinese group gathering here, Li Baiyu also ran over, "What are you talking about?" Do I have my share? ”

Yes, her dedication is so strong that it is difficult for Fang Yu to refuse her to play a role.

Waited for a long time.

The mother and daughter of the fairy, the white male protagonist, the dragon team, and the martial arts Yuan Heping arrived at the scene.

Seeing Fang Yu again, Liu Xiaoli's eyes were full of love, and she was looking at her son's eyes purely.

Now that Liu Yifei can blend into Hollywood, Liu Xiaoli puts the credit on Fang Yu.

The tomb of the three dragon emperors of the mummy, the king of kung fu.

The lineup of these two films is a ceiling-level film looking at the world, with a large investment and high popularity, it must be very good to shoot it, which can be regarded as a broad road for Liu Xiaoli's daughter Liu Yifei to return to the film and television industry as an actor.

"Brother Yao!"

Liu Yifei called Fang Yu a lot, but every time she didn't see her for a long time, she would call Fang Yu Brother Xiaoyao, perhaps corresponding to the plot in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao get together less and leave more, and every time they meet, it is very tearful.

Now that Liu Yifei is in contact with Fang Yu again, she no longer cares what her mother will think, and her original attitude of deliberately looking for trouble is gone, she doesn't pretend to be naughty, she is completely like a good sister seeing a good brother.

The screenwriter looked at this state and nodded silently.

Either I can't write the emotional drama between Liu Yifei and the male protagonist, especially the kiss scene, who is the brother will be very unhappy if he sees it.

"Miss me?"

Liu Yifei was wearing a white camisole sports vest with a ponytail, looking very capable and full of youthful atmosphere.

In this film, her ancient makeup is a little average, covering her original beauty, and she is not even as good-looking as Li Yu's white-haired witch, but her modern clothes are not comparable to Li Li's, and she is very good-looking.

Liu Yifei, who was in this state, stood in front of Fang Yu close at hand, her eyelashes, pink mouth, and white suspenders outlined her curves very well.

The harmless big eyes of humans and animals, the refreshing ponytail, and the thin waist will show a little cute navel when the hand is raised

Fang Yu only had Liu Yifei left in his eyes at this time, and he didn't care about any work or plans, he just wanted to stay alone with Liu Yifei until the sea dried up.

"I miss you, I miss you very much, I want to shoot a Chinese ghost story with you one, two, three, four, five, six."

"Poof!" Liu Yifei covered her mouth and smiled, "What are you doing when you shoot so much!" ”

"I want to see you pretend to be a female ghost, cute."

"Slightly~" Liu Yifei was also said to be shy, covering her blush with a small pink fist, and punched Fang Yu in the chest, like an arrow from Cupid, the god of love, shooting into his heart.

The white male protagonist Michael Angelano watched the pair flirt and eat melons like crazy.

"Is that Stephen Fang's girlfriend?" He asked the screenwriter on the side.

"I don't know, if it is, it's a good match." The screenwriter is a fan of Fang Yu, and in his eyes, the ghost talent Stephen Fang is worthy of any Chinese actress.

The martial arts instructor of the King of Kung Fu is Yuan Heping, the martial arts instructor that Fang Yu has cooperated with in Kung Fu, Yuan Baye is also very emotional when he sees Fang Yu again, how could he have thought that the supporting role Mu Zuli can now become a very sought-after Chinese actor in Hollywood.

To have action, to have acting skills, and at the same time to be able to write and direct, such an all-rounder, is a rare talent for Chinese filmmakers.

"Yu Zai, long time no see."

"Eighth Master."

Fang Yu is still grateful to Yuan Heping, through contact with Yuan Heping, Fang Yu learned a lot of action design skills in action movies, and knows how to shoot action movies to look good, how to act more reasonably, this cooperation is a rare experience.

Chenglong over there finished greeting the director and Li Lianjie, and also took the initiative to find Fang Yu.

It's been more than a year since I last said goodbye.

Chenglong saw Fang Yu again, Fang Yu is already a well-known producer of the Hollywood horror genre, and he is no longer the little male second he used to be.

If you want to say that you are present, except for Liu Xiaoli, Yuan Heping, and Li Lianjie, who is still pleased with Fang Yu's results, it can only be Chenglong.

Uncle Long looked at this fan brother Fang Yu, who had worked hard all the way and finally became the light of the Chinese, with visible happiness on his face.

"Yu! Long time no see! You seem to be a little dark. ”

"Uncle Long is good~ I have been in northern Shaanxi for four months, and I am dry."

"It's good, it's good!" Chenglong hugged Fang Yu's arm and pinched it twice a little hard, very happy.

The preparations are complete, and the film is finally ready to be filmed.

Most of the filming locations of The King of Kung Fu are in China, and a small number of shots are in the studio and on the streets of the United States.

"Stephen! Stephen! ”

"Fang!"

Li Lianjie and Chenglong were wearing sunglasses, Fang Yu and the white male protagonist Michael Angelano were listening to the director's talk, and their ears were all shouting Fang Yu's voice.

Fang Yu wanted to take a step back at this time and asked, "What is an international superstar?" ”

Chenglong, Li Lianjie and Tianxian mother and daughter didn't expect Fang Yu to have such a high reputation among college students, especially many of them are young female students, which is beyond the expectations of all Chinese.

As the light of the Chinese, Chenglong, and the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie, in fact, have not seen the three horror series movies made by Fang Yu in Hollywood, first, they are busy, and second, they are not very interested in this kind of movie.

Who would have thought that the actors who are in the same group, and everyone passing by is shouting Fang Yu's name?

This is an experience that Li Lianjie and Chenglong have never had.

Of course, if they took off their sunglasses, there would still be screams that were no lower than Fang Yu's.

The ghost shadow record, the lurking some time ago, are all Fang Yu's highlight works.

The characters in the two dramas are impressive.

Looking back now, who is the latent male protagonist?

Long forgotten!

They could only remember that there was a Fang Yu who was holding a peachwood sword, pinching a yellow talisman, and muttering, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you home".

Who can still remember that white troublesome male protagonist Josh? Does it matter who plays it? The most important thing is to know what Fang Yu looks like!

"If this continues, there will be more and more onlookers, and it will not be safe." Fang Yu said to the main creative team and waited, walked out of the encirclement of the bodyguards, and came to a bunch of college fans.

"Hi, I'm Stephen Fang."

"Ahhhh

The audience cheered, and they finally saw the heroic love guardian knight Stephen Fang!

I don't know who shouted a word of lurking two, and the students standing outside the human wall also began to shout.

"Hidden two!"

"Hidden two!"

"Hidden two!"

Fang Yu was also a little overwhelmed in the face of the enthusiasm of the fans, and it was okay to urge the face.

"Everyone be quiet~ The script for the second lurking is already being written, the film I am making now is called Kings of Kungfu, and your favorite Chenglong and Li Lianjie will play important roles in this film."

"My play will be a horror movie for a while, and I won't be a supporting role this time, the whole film has more than 60 minutes of single shots, which is enough for you to watch."

"Even-bought karma! Are you sure? ”

A blonde female college student in the front row jumped on the spot excitedly, where there was a habit of not wearing underwear, and the female college student jumped up and was pleasing to the eye.

Liu Yifei was jealous when she saw Fang Yu, who was interacting with fanatical fans, and walked over and pulled Fang Yu backwards.

"Bye-bye, everybody! See you at the cinema! ”

Someone present whistled, Liu Yifei blushed, and pulled Fang Yu back to the shooting scene surrounded by bodyguards.
