Superstars start as villains

Chapter 127 Huo Yuanjia.

"Brother Xiong, why is it you?" When Zhou Xing came to the airport in Shanghai, it was Xiong Xinxin who came to pick him up. He could see his shiny bald head across the crowd from a long distance away, which made him very happy.

Xiong Xinxin smiled and said: "I heard that you were coming, so I asked the director for a day off, and then the director said: You don't ask for leave at all, just pick him up on behalf of the crew, I'm here right now?"

After getting into the crew's commercial vehicle, Zhou Xing heard from Xiong Xinxin that Liu Jialiang was taking Liu Jiaban to film another movie, so this [Huo Yuanjia] Xiong Xinxin can be regarded as the real leader. On the subtitles of the film, in the column of martial arts guidance, there will be only his name.

While the two were chatting, the commercial vehicle quickly drove into the Shengqiang film and television base in Songjiang, the magical city. It is said that the cost of this street alone exceeds tens of millions.

"Hey, our Huo Yuanjia is finally here." Yu Rentai's attitude this time was very enthusiastic.

Zhou Xing stepped forward to shake hands with him, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Director Yu, I'm not too late, am I?"

"It's not too late, we've just built the Guyue Tower." Jiang Zhiqiang also rushed over when he heard the news. Zhou Xing was an actor recommended by him. On his first day in the group, he naturally wanted to support him.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xing went back to the hotel to rest. In the evening, Yu Rentai treated guests and invited the main creators of the film crew to have dinner together.

"Ah Xing, let me introduce to you. This is the number one female in our play, Sun Li, a very aura actress." Naturally, it is impossible for the director to treat guests to dinner as simple as eating and drinking. The main thing is to let the main creators Get to know each other before shooting.

Sun Li naturally knew Zhou Xing, so she was a little shy and wanted to stand up.

Zhou Xing smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: "Don't be so nervous, in fact, I have seen your play."

Sun Li was very surprised, and looked at Zhou Xing with some joy. She looked like a good student looking forward to the teacher's praise, which made Yu Rentai and others snicker.

"Yu Guanyin, the role of An Xin is difficult to control." Zhou Xing fell into some occupational diseases while talking, and began to discuss with Sun Li.

Driven by Zhou Xing, Sun Li gradually talked more, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"You have also read the script, is there any problem?" Yu Rentai saw that he had talked about this point, so he simply dealt with the business.

Jiang Zhiqiang scolded with a smile: "I knew it would be a good thing for you, old boy, to treat guests. After your meal, you have to work overtime to hold script seminars?"

Everyone laughed for a while, but after laughing, they all began to put forward some ideas of their own about the script.

In fact, there are not many main characters in [Huo Yuanjia]. Huo Yuanjia is one, the dumb girl is one, Nong Jinsun is one, and Tanaka Yasuno is originally one, but he is played by an RB actor, and he has not yet entered. Group.

The script of "Fearless Fearless" follows the simple plot structure of kung fu movies. Fearless was competitive since he was a child, and his father didn't even let him learn martial arts, but he practiced secretly. When he was young, he learned martial arts and fought bravely. He has a strong sense of the world, and he never cares about temperament and morality when accepting apprentices, and enjoys the days of being complimented and complimented by everyone.

In the early stage of the script, Huo Yuanjia was an authentic martial artist with no chivalrous spirit, let alone family and country feelings, until one day his apprentice was injured by Lord Qin, and he signed a life and death certificate with him at the birthday banquet of Lord Qin regardless of the reason. , which eventually led to Master Qin's death, and Master Qin's adoptive son avenged his father by killing his mother and daughter.

"Actually, I don't think there is any problem with the first half of the script, but there is a serious disconnect between the middle stage and the later stage. How can I put it? In the middle stage, Huo Yuanjia met a dumb girl in a small mountain village and learned to use martial arts to protect others. This makes sense, but How did the feelings of family and country come about? I think the transition in the mid-term still needs to be improved." Zhou Xing actually felt that there were some problems when he took over the play, but Yu Rentai said at the time that the script had not yet been finalized. The later revisions did not put much effort into this aspect, so Zhou Xing simply took this opportunity to raise it.

"Secondly, the final decisive battle was a bit too sloppy. One-on-four, it is difficult to reflect the abilities of martial arts masters from various countries. Huo Yuanjia's victory over them seems to be a joke. Playing games, the more powerful and evil the villain is, the protagonist wins in the end. The audience will feel refreshed, especially Huo Yuanjia's final ending is not good, so I think it is necessary to increase the role of Hercules and martial arts masters from various countries."

Yu Rentai didn't say a word, he seemed to be lost in thought, and the screenwriters were also silent. In fact, as professionals, how could they not see that the script was "top-heavy"?

However, Yu Rentai insisted on controlling the plot within 120 minutes, because this is conducive to filming. [Seven Swords] is a lesson from the past. Don’t look at it, it’s only half an hour longer. The theater must take it into account when shooting the film. The same For the ticket price, theaters naturally hope that the movie will be as short as possible, and the free time is all money!
"Well, what Ah Xing said is not unreasonable. In this way, anyway, there is still some time before the filming starts. The screenwriter team will revise the script again and try not to increase the duration." As a producer, Jiang Zhiqiang is actually more concerned about the duration of the film Rentai is even more sensitive.

"Come on, let me toast Director Xiong. This drama is up to you."

After discussing the script, Yu Rentai began to toast one by one. He didn't start with the actors, but Xiong Xinxin first. The so-called action directors are also directors in a strict sense, but they don't hold the camera. Action guidance is no less important than a director.

In a kung fu movie, 80% of the highlights are actually fighting scenes. Whether the fighting is good or not is the key to the success of a kung fu movie.

"I also offer a toast to Director Xiong." As a producer, Jiang Zhiqiang was not left behind either.

Xiong Xinxin was very moved. He has been living with Liu's family all these years, and he is quite famous in the martial arts circle, but outside this circle, not many people know him, just like many martial arts moves in [Seven Swords] It was all designed by him, but in the final subtitles, he could only be ranked behind Liu Jialiang.

Of course, Xiong Xinxin is not a stingy person. After all, Liu Jialiang has kindness to him, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. It's just that it's the first time for him to be treated like a big girl in a sedan chair. After the material conditions are guaranteed, there will always be some spiritual pursuits.

"In Liu's class, perhaps, you will never receive such respect in your whole life?" Xiong Xinxin politely exchanged cups with Yu Rentai and Jiang Zhiqiang, while looking gratefully at Zhou Xing. If it wasn't for this junior, how could he What chance does he have?
