The bard joins the entertainment industry

Zhang Weiping rolled his eyes after hearing this, thinking of what Chen Jingfei said yesterday.

Then he asked: "Are you still thinking about his water sleeve drumming? It's a pity, he is a man."

"Yes, it's a pity." Zhang Yimou suddenly sighed.

Now there are three people in his mind who are suitable for the role of the blind girl.

Chen Shuo, Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei.

But all three are flawed.

Whether it is acting or dancing skills, Chen Shuo is the most suitable.

But his gender is a fatal flaw, an unsolvable knot.

In terms of acting skills, Zhang Ziyi is the most suitable. In this aspect alone, she is more suitable than Chen Shuo.

However, it is a pity that her dancing talent is not enough and it is difficult for her to perform the drumming movements with water sleeves.

The most lacking thing is Liu Yifei, her acting skills are not good, and her sleeve dance is not as good as Chen Shuo.

But she has the biggest advantage. She can do water sleeve drumming herself, and she also has Chen Shuo as her backing.

It can ensure the success of the Shuixiu drumming scene to the greatest extent.

And acting is something that can be trained.

As long as she is not a blockhead, I have the confidence to train her into an actor suitable for the role of a blind girl.

Zhang Weiping glanced at him and sighed as if unintentionally: "Now, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei are tied together.

If you choose one, it is best to use the other at the same time.

If you only use one, it's better to use neither. "

"Yes." Zhang Yimou thought about it and realized that this was really the case.

Zhang Weiping suddenly said with a serious face: "Yimou, if you really plan to use these two newcomers, I will support you unconditionally.

As you said, "Hero" can no longer be copied, so let's make a good movie in your mind! "

Zhang Yimou was moved after hearing this, turned around and patted his shoulder, saying nothing.

"Hahaha~" Zhang Weiping patted his back and said with a smile: "Do you want to know why I changed my mind?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yimou to answer, he continued: "After the dinner ended yesterday, Chen Jingfei took me to go shopping with him.

He said that if I can help his daughter star in your play, he can help me develop my real estate company and invest 20 million in the new play.

He is a businessman, and like me, what we value is investment and income.

We all believe that if you invest energy and money into something, you must get more benefits back.

He spends so much effort because he wants his daughter to take a step forward through your platform.

And I want you to make commercial films, and I want you to use big stars to boost the box office.

But I also know that you are different from us. What you think about is art, ideals, and expression of inner feelings.

You don’t care how much you invest, and you don’t care how much you get back.

But this is not contradictory. I have said before that you are responsible for your art, and I will be responsible for achieving your art.

If you use Liu Yifei and Chen Shuo, I will ask Chen Jingfei to help us share the risks of using new people.

If you use Zhang Ziyi, I can also find investors willing to invest in her.

In short, you do what you want and leave the rest to me. "

"Okay!" Zhang Yimou held Zhang Weiping's hand tightly and shook it vigorously.

He turned to the driver and said, "Xiao Wu, drive faster and watch the dubbing. I'll go find Wang Bin right now."

"Okay." The driver responded and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.

As soon as Zhang Weiping heard this, he knew that he had another idea and wanted to change the script.

She glanced at him again and said no more.

Although the conditions offered by Chen Jingfei were very attractive, he knew that his biggest treasure now was Zhang Yimou.

It's good to get Chen Jingfei's promise, but if you don't get it, there will always be someone willing to offer the same or even better conditions.

As long as Zhang Yimou is in hand, he is not afraid of not having another "Chen Jingfei".

Zhang Yimou quickly finished the dubbing and called Li Feng directly to Wang Bin's home in the afternoon.

These two are old friends who have been with him for many years and are responsible for writing scripts with him.

The three of them spend more time together than with their families.

After entering the door, the three of them each found their accustomed seats and sat down.

Zhang Yimou spoke first: "Re-establish the character.

Now, our version of the script has four key characters.

The young master Sui Feng, the blind girl Liu Ye, his father and his eldest sister.

Now, my father has invited Liu Dehua, and my eldest sister has invited Mei Yanfang.

The blind girl Liu Ye originally wanted to find Zhang Ziyi.

But since last year, I have met two newcomers, and you have all seen it. They are the two freshmen from Beijing Film Academy who performed "Luo Shen Lingbo Dance".

I met them again yesterday and I was deeply inspired.

I was thinking about whether to ask them to play Sui Feng and Liu Ye, but I was unwilling to give up on Ziyi.

Think about it, how should this be changed? "

The new drama is still named "Wind·Leaf·Sword·Knife".

The theme idea is to tell a martial arts love story.

Four crucial characters are involved, featuring wind, leaves, swords, and knives.

The whole story revolves around the conspiracy of his father sending Liu Ye to assassinate the king and wanting Li Daitao to become the new king.

Liuye's assassination failed, and the king was angry and wanted to find out who was behind it.

So he sent his father and Sui Feng to investigate the matter together.

Sui Feng is the prince's son. Under his father's instructions, he pretends to save Liu Ye and wants to find the whereabouts of Feidaomen through her.

On the way, he met his father. He was the king's chief guest and Liu Ye's biological father.

Then there is the eldest sister, the head of Feidao Sect and the adoptive mother who raised Liu Ye.

A very ambitious and well-organized woman.

She has a line: "For thousands of years, the world has been the world of men, but today I want to say that the world is ours!"

This line was thought up by Zhang Yimou himself. As a result, the eldest sister became the first protagonist of the film. She is the final master of the overall situation.

However, since this script was written, it has been criticized by many people in the industry, especially the characters.

It was even dug up to the roots by Zou Jingzhi.

Now Zhang Yimou doesn't think about how to flesh out the original characters, and even wants to add another character.

Wang Bin and Li Feng took a look at each other and said, "You mean to use those two newcomers to play Sui Feng and Liu Ye.

Now we have to design another character for Ziyi. "

"It doesn't have to be so restrictive." Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "There are two newcomers, one is named Chen Shuo and the other is named Liu Yifei.

Among them, Liu Yifei will perform the scene of drumming with water sleeves, which can give her the identity of a blind girl, but it will be separated from Liu Ye's role. "

Li Feng said: "Originally this story is about the love and hatred between father, Sui Feng and Liu Ye, two men and one woman.

The role of the father is the ‘conspiracy’ throughout the story.

Sui Feng and Liu Ye are responsible for the twists and turns of 'love'.

Although the role of the eldest sister is the first protagonist, her role will not be too important.

It mainly plays the role of sublimating the theme of "Jianghu".

Now that there is an additional female character, how should we insert it? "

Wang Bin said: "It's easy to insert a character, but now we must first consider, what do we want to express by inserting this character?

What role does she need to play in it? "

"I think so." Zhang Yimou said: "Let's not consider the meaning of her existence.

Jingzhi is right, 'Every character is too pretentious, but in fact they don't have anything to do! ’

What we need now is to get rid of the problem of these characters being "serious" and make them really "have something to do".

Sticking to the themes of conspiracy and love, these characters are "looking for trouble".

Then blend these things together to form a complete story. "
