Since 1983

In the capital, a foreign-related hotel.

Li An's team stayed here, very low-key, in fact, it can't be high-key. He is well-known in Taiwan, but little-known in the mainland.

The preparatory period for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was very long, and this time we mainly came to choose the scene.

There are deserts in XJ, glaciers in Tianshan Mountains, Cangyan Mountain in SJZ, Hongcun and Nanping in AH, and bamboo seas with different opinions. There are three rumors about the shooting locations of Zhuhai:

Anji, Mukeng, Shunan.

Anyway, the three places say they are authentic, and they may have gone to shoot the scene, and cut them together later.

The selection of the scene went smoothly, and the funds were happy. Sunshine Films first invested 3 million US dollars, and the mainland also has the support of Tianxia Film and Television. It is said that Hollywood has also found a film company, called Kai Ketus.

Li An should have been happy, but now he stood in front of the window, frowning.

I've inquired about it. Kectors is a newly emerging company in Hollywood. Recently, the film American Pie was a big hit. It released it by itself, and it has some strength.

The speaker was Xu Ligong, a senior Taiwanese filmmaker who has supported many young directors.

He looked at the other party's expression, and persuaded: I want to open up, there are so many good actors, you can look for them again!

Although there are many good actors, there are few who have an impression in Hollywood. Li Lianlian refused. I can't ask Cheng Long to do it. It's too contrary...

Li An shook his head and sighed: I originally wanted to make a martial arts film that Westerners could understand, but I fell into a rut first.

He has great ambitions for the film. Since he wants to open up the western market, he must at least find an international superstar. Who can be called international class?

Just those three people who made their way in Hollywood, Cheng Long, Li Lian, and Zhou Runfa!

Xu Ligong also thought about it, and said: If you find Zhou Runfa, you can save a bit of salary. He didn't start well in Hollywood. But your script has to be revised again.

Naturally, Zhou Runfa can't fight like Li Lianlian, nor can he act like that. There should be more literature and drama.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was originally the yin and yang of Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian, and Li Mubai was in charge of playing it.

But when it was replaced by Zhou Runfa, Li An changed his mind. There were more emotional scenes between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, and there was an emotional dark line with Yu Jiaolong.

This line is hidden so deep that many people don't notice it.

Simply put, Yujiaolong is born a poisonous dragon, she longs to see herself, all living beings, and the world.

She said to the blue-eyed fox: I have practiced with you since I was ten years old. You gave me a worldly dream, but one day I found out that I could beat you. You don't know how scared I am.

I can't see the edge of the world, I don't know where to go, who can I follow?

The blue-eyed fox is the first hurdle. She gets lost after getting through it, and then meets the wilder Luo Xiaohu.

Luo Xiaohu is the new edge of heaven and earth, but when she was promoted again, she found that Luo Xiaohu was also at her feet. At this time, she encountered the ceiling of force and realm in the film, a generation of master Li Mubai.

And Li Mubai was aroused, just like in the fight scene in the bamboo sea, is there more fighting or more flirting?

Both of them are very complicated, and the last one is freed by death...

The so-called martial arts that Westerners can understand is because Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon combines Eastern culture and Western-style emotional core.

But Li An said that he was suffering here, Xu Ligong suddenly remembered something, and said: By the way, director Zhang Yimou has returned from Venice with honors, and I heard that there will be a celebration banquet, should we go?

Is Mr. Xu here?

It should be there.

Then let's go and have a chat.

…………

In September, Not One Less was born one year ahead of schedule, and still won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

When he returned to China, Xu Fei just came back and immediately arranged for the screening. This kind of film depends on all bookings, and there is no way to hold a premiere, but the celebration banquet is OK.

Gathering in a small area, the wind leaked, and more and more people came. When Li An arrived at the scene, no one paid attention, and only chatted with Zhang Guoshi.

They have known each other for a long time. In Berlin in 1993, Lao Mouzi served as a judge.

Xie Fei's Scented Soul Girl and Li An's Wedding Banquet were both very popular, and the votes were deadlocked. He proposed that the two films be tied for the Golden Bear, and this was the beginning of their friendship.

Mr. Xu!

Hey, why are you in the capital?

Choosing the scene for the new film, I heard that Director Zhang is celebrating his achievements, so I'm here to congratulate you.

If you are interested, let's sit over there.

Xu Fei found a clean place, and said with a smile, Brother Song is looking forward to this film, so I'll run errands with the back of my ass. How is the preparation going?

Boss Song is a straightforward person. The funds have already arrived in the account, and he has also attracted American filmmakers.

That's right, Brother Song will do what he says, and I'm a role model in life!

Hiss!

Lao Song, who was far away in Hong Kong, had a jitter, another jitter... and Ah Chu continued to move.

It's just that casting was a bit difficult. I contacted Li Lianlian first, saying that his wife was pregnant and gave birth, and it was inconvenient to work. Then I approached Shu Qi, who was ambiguous and vague.

What do you mean vaguely?

I didn't agree or refuse, I just talked about thinking about it.

When I got in touch with Gong Li again, she felt that she wanted to fight in martial arts, and she didn't want to act in it.

With a bitter face, Li Yu said: Three candidates, none of them succeeded. I want to talk to Zhou Runfa at the moment. Yu Xiulian will try Michelle Yeoh, but Yu Jiaolong really has no choice. Does Mr. Xu have any recommendations?

Gong Li, let me tell you, don't look for anyone else. Is Yu Jiaolong...

He glanced at Zhang Guoshi, and the two thought of getting together, Director Zhang's new film has a heroine, I think it's pretty good.

Is it convenient to see you then?

Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible.

...

Li An left after talking, leaving a group of people to eat and drink.

Teacher Xu just made a fortune in Hollywood, and when he came back, he was like a normal person, shaking a bottle of wine on the table. Shaking to Ge You's table, he sat down and looked at the table: Lao Jiang didn't come?

He is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, so he has no time. Ge You said.

Teacher Jiang Wen is devoted to art, and there are still people who give money, which is not comparable to me. Of course, under the glory of Boss Xu, we are also growing happily. Feng Trousers said.

Shaote is so poor, how is your A Sigh?

We are working on the later stage, and everything is going well.

Okay, the release plan for November remains unchanged.

Feng Pants nodded naturally, and finally couldn't help but said: Mr. Xu, we will lose all face when we were hit by Titanic this year. He is still hanging on the screen, almost 200 million.

How many people are looking forward to your new year's film coming out of the rivers and lakes, abbot the overall situation!

I've been busy this year. Ge You immediately responded.

Yo, there is no New Year's Eve movie, so you feel uneasy?

Isn't it... Hey, I don't want to meet the audience friends... You say this, what's wrong?

I thought so……

Xu Fei took a sip of his wine and said, We've been filming this style for four years, and the audience is getting tired of it. Let's empty it first and change the taste.

Next year I plan to be younger, and take advantage of the momentum of Pan Yueming and Zhou Xun to make a youthful New Year's film. Old Feng, how about entrusting this task to you?

Yes, yes!

Feng Pants couldn't be more excited. The only criterion for whether the drama in the world is more important or less important is to see Boss Xu's attitude.

He ordered it himself, which must be the highlight.

There is another one that will be produced for tens of millions. Uncle Ge has your share.

hey-hey!

Ge You scratched his head.

There is also a lower-cost one, Mr. Ge, you should try it first, this drama is exciting, if it doesn't work, I can replace it!

Yo!

The two of them froze for a moment, and it was unusual for Mr. Xu to say something exciting.
