Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Not Peaceful Taiping

Thinking about it, Su Changqing still thinks that Pu Cunxi is more suitable, he looks as pitiful as Xu Yajun, and it is even more distressing to be injured and die in the play.

Some things are not convincing, and the audience's love for different actors is different.

The audience is looking forward to Brother Cheng jumping off the building from birth to death, breaking his arms and legs seems to be a matter of responsibility, and even makes everyone feel interesting, and people like Pu Cunxi and Xu Yajun are girls and young women killers, and scratching a little skin will attract exclamations.

For example, Qi Tongwei is actually a corrupt official with no bottom line, dressing himself up as a tragic figure in the form of Yu Lian, and using poverty as a reason for everything, if it weren't for Xu Yajun's performance, he wouldn't have been sympathetic at all.

Although the intention of cooperation was probably mentioned on the phone, Su Changqing still decided to go to Renyi for a face-to-face interview.

The last time Xu Yajun came to Lotus Hutong, it was not well considered, and Su Changqing was a little embarrassed when he sent people out, after all, he was a junior in his early twenties in this industry, and he couldn't give people the feeling of being arrogant.

However, he didn't go alone, and called the heroine Liu Bei, and it was very grand to come to the door together.

In addition, most of the actors and actresses Su Changqing knows are also friends of Liu Bei, and now she is in full swing of eating and drinking, and she is a good hand if she needs to entertain at the wine table.

However, everyone was very busy, and they didn't even see Hu Ji, so the three of them found a nearby restaurant to talk about.

It's still early for lunch, so I asked for a pot of tea and sat down to chat.

Su Changqing observed it very carefully today, Pu Cunxi really looks young, no one believes it when he says that he is over forty years old, and he looks like a young man in his twenties when he starred in "The Bells of Qingliang Temple" with Kurihara Komaki three years ago.

People with work units have high consciousness and speak well, and he was a little surprised by Su Changqing's filming: "This is very different from the realism style of "Model Team". ”

I have already introduced the plot, and I was surprised, and Su Changqing also understood what he was worried about.

"This is purely a sci-fi disaster movie, which takes place in some non-real world, and has been submitted for review. ”

Pu Cunxi was very cautious: "Since it is not realistic, why is Foshan still there?"

It's not easy to make a movie.,In addition to discussing the core of the story of human nature, the rest of the elements have basically been adjusted.,Please ask the male protagonist to discuss the title again.。

In fact, Su Changqing also thought about changing the title of the film, the world is empty, and the disaster movie should not use the name of the place in reality, so as not to find fault with the critics of the Xinxin faction after the release, and may even attract protests from the locals.

Su Changqing can imagine all kinds of doubts: "Why did the disaster movie involve our hometown, and why didn't the director drive the train to his house?!"

"Check which trains pass through Foshan and find out what the director wants to say!"

"Selling anxiety, can't you shoot ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment?!"

"Keep saying that science fiction is fictional, and the title of the film is revealed, I suspect that the surname Su is anti-social and anti-human!"

can't give people such a handle, Su Changqing said his plan: "It doesn't involve the real place name, I plan to change the name to "Corpse Express", the corpse of the corpse." ”

The name of this film is actually not very good, and it lacks the temperament of a blockbuster.

Liu Bei expressed his opinion first: "Corpse speed? This name is too cheesy, isn't it?"

Su Changqing smiled helplessly and explained: "It's really cheesy, and it's also homophonic and clever, but it's direct enough, just look at the name, you can roughly understand half of the content of the movie, and it can be regarded as a direct advertisement." ”

Don't overestimate the audience's tolerance for the so-called elegant taste of the creative staff, Hollywood often names it like this, such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Zombie Jon" and so on.

Pu Cunxi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Is there no other alternative?"

It seems that he is not happy with the name of the film either.

Su Changqing simply said all his previous thoughts: "I originally planned to use the name of the train in the title of the film, calling it "Mir" feels a bit pretentious and anti-war, calling "Auspicious" seems to be a little dirty, and calling it "Taiping" seems to be good, but there is a sunken ship called Taiping, which is easy to associate, so just use this, many classic Hollywood movie names are also very cheesy, after all, we are not a literary film." ”

The Taiping Ship is a passenger ship that sailed to Treasure Island in 49 years, collided with a freighter on the way, sank quickly because of serious overloading of luggage, and drowned nearly 1,000 passengers and crews, including many celebrities of the Republic of China who escaped, known as the Oriental Titanic incident.

After all, it was an old thing in the Republic of China, and the incident fermented on Treasure Island for a while, and then it was silent, and later "Titanic" was released in China, so it was dug up.

The owner of the Taiping Ferry has a son who is very promising, that is, the famous host Cai Kangyong.

Twenty years later, Zhongyi Brothers invested more than 400 million yuan to make a movie that interpreted this event, thinking that it would replicate the box office miracle of the Titanic, but it turned out to be lost.

In addition, there are three male protagonists and three female protagonists in this film, which brings together big-name stars from China, Japan and South Korea, so the three story lines brought by this film are too complicated.

People only dare to have one line in "Titanic", why do you dare to attack on multiple lines, the crowd tactics are not played like this, and it is normal to hit the streets.

Liu Bei expressed his opinion first: "I think the name "Taiping" is good, the Taiping is not peaceful, carrying a car of zombies, what does it have to do with zombie films and old things, don't think so much." ”

Pu Cunxi nodded: "I also think this name is good, and it has some pathos in combination with the plot." ”

After listening to people's advice to eat well, then change "Taiping".

In this way, the front of the car sprayed what words are also set, the background color of red and white, sprayed with a big yellow "Taiping", red and yellow in line with the principle of warning coating, just the domestic railway does not pay attention to this, but also to avoid trouble.

Next, everyone talked in detail about the plot setting, character image and character building, etc., and ordered a few dishes at noon, and talked about the evening until the evening.

In the end, Pu Cunxi not only agreed to act, but also recommended the old artist Ding Yi to play the role of an elderly woman.

Su Changqing knows Ding Yi, who often plays a rural woman, and plays Pu Cunxi's mother in "The Bell of Qingliang Temple", which belongs to the kind of old actor who is known to audiences all over the country, but can't be named.

The two elderly women characters have a special meaning in the original film, alluding to the separated families of the north and the south, the old sisters who have been separated for decades and finally met, but they did not expect to encounter this disaster.

Su Changqing once wanted to delete these two characters, but in the end they were retained, many of the histories are approximate, but it is not easy to arrange meaningful lines for them, and it takes great pains.

Now the important role that has not yet been determined is the strong man, and it is Liu Bei's husband in the play.

Pu Cunxi is more than 1.8 meters tall, and a strong man is not only taller than him, but also has a big waist and a round waist, this kind of actor is not easy to find.

Domestic male stars generally don't exercise, and there seems to be only Zhang Fengyi among the muscular men outside the stars, but he is not a strong man.

It's time to get off work, and it's time for Pu Cunxi to go home.

Su Changqing sent him away, he wanted to go back to Lotus Hutong, but he was dragged to the bar by Liu Bei.
