Chapter 264, Lu Bu is going to participate in the Olympics

Shichahai, Yanjing, Lu Bu’s courtyard.

In the small garden in the front yard, crabapples and ginkgo trees are planted, with tall and straight branches.

The pavilion with four cornices for drinking tea and resting is even more comfortable under the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the past few days, I have been far away from the bustling city, without the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and my life has become a bit more quiet and calm.

"The newspaper you asked for." Yu Feihong came back from outside and put down a stack of newspapers on the stone table.

"What did you buy?" Lu Bu saw that she was carrying a lot of big and small bags, so he stretched his neck and looked over.

"I didn't buy anything, they were all new clothes from the brands I endorsed." Yu Feihong opened it, gave him a look, and then went back to the house.

Lu Bu picked up a newspaper and read it.

I specifically asked Yu Feihong to buy it from an entertainment newspaper with reports on "Myth" and "The Promise".

He is very concerned about this matter. One of them is starring himself, and the other may become a box office competitor.

The first one, "Entertainment Already Knows", has the press conference that Brother Chen Kai just held on the front page.

Judging from the on-site photos posted, the press conference was star-studded, with all the luxurious cast of "The Promise" appearing, including Jang Dong Gun, known as the most handsome guy in Korea, and Japanese acting superstar Hiroyuki Sanada, who is the fastest rising among the new generation in mainland China. Liu Ye, as well as Zhang Bozhi and Xie Tingfeng, who are currently popular in Hong Kong.

Looking down, there is a collection of questions from reporters to Brother Chen Kai.

The first question is quite sharp: "The acting skills of the four actors Zhang Dongjian, Hiroyuki Sanada, Liu Ye, and Cecilia Cheung have been recognized to varying degrees. So as a topical idol, can Xie Tingfeng play such an important role well?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really dare to ask, I am still at the scene."

Lu Bu lamented that these reporters also risked their lives in order to get some "breaking" news.

But the term "topic idol" is quite appropriate when applied to Xie Tingfeng. He has a lot of topics.

He signed a "deed of prostitution" with the Emperor to help his father Xie Xian repay his debt; he was involved in a traffic accident, and in order to get rid of the responsibility, he found someone to support him; he fell in love with Wang Jingwen, broke up, got back together and broke up again; and Zhang Weijian in "Little Fish and Flowers" The crew of "Perfect" beat up the little white dragon Wang Bozhao...

The point is, every topic is exciting.

Brother Chen Kai's answer was: "Ting Feng's acting skills are seriously underestimated. He has the ability and strength to become a leader of the new generation!"

How to say this?

Xie Tingfeng has been criticized for his acting skills for so long since his debut.

Similar to Zhang Weijian, no matter what role he plays, he always has a certain way of acting, twitching, facial paralysis, and pretending to be cool.

"You still need to work hard, Xiao Xie."

Xie Tingfeng is half of his fans, so Lu Bu can't say anything.

The second question is normal. It asks what are the expectations for "The Promise".

In answering this question, Brother Chen Kai was not modest at all. He said bluntly: ""The Promise" will be an Eastern fantasy epic that will make the audience cry. In fact, this movie has been in my mind for a long time and has been brewing. It has been revised and is still being revised until now. Its structure is very interesting, but the meaning can often only be found during the filming process. The background of the story is ancient times, but it tells very modern emotions. It is indeed different from my previous films, but it still focuses on freedom, love and destiny."

If Lu Bu hadn't read the script, I would really believe what he said.

Crying? He couldn't find the point of crying.

As for the Eastern fantasy epic, we have to wait until the final film is released before we can judge.

The last question became sharp again: "The biggest failure of Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" is believed by the industry to be in the description of the story and emotions. The story is thin, the details are lacking, and the emotions are empty. Even though No matter how beautiful the lens is, the movie-watching experience still becomes boring and uncomfortable. What do you think about this?"

Brother Chen Kai will naturally not belittle his opponent in front of the media. That would be a stupid move. He only said: "Martial arts and stunts are just forms. I hope that in the end "The Promise" will only complete a little bit and it will be enough to "move the audience."

Although I did not directly comment on Lao Mouzi and his two films, the so-called "touching the audience" and Lao Mouzi's so-called "three minutes of wonderfulness" represent the two poles of the film.

The implication is that I will not follow Lao Mouzi's path of failure.

"How was it? What did Director Chen say at the press conference?" Yu Feihong came to the pavilion from the house.

"Judging from the answers to several questions, there is no small ambition. I feel that he wants to use "The Promise" when Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" have successively staged paradoxes in box office and public opinion. Set a 'benchmark' for the growing trend of large-scale production." Lu Bu simply summed it up.

"What kind of benchmark?" Yu Feihong sat down on the chair next to him.

"To put it in layman's terms, it means both applause and success." Lu Bu poured her a cup of tea.

"It's hard to count all the critically acclaimed and successful movies after this millennium on one hand." Yu Feihong shook his head and asked, "Did they mention you?"

"Why are you mentioning me?" Lu Bu smiled and said, "Don't mention me to increase the attention of my competitors."

"Yes." Yu Feihong took a sip of tea, then leaned on his shoulder and looked at the newspaper in his hand.

The second one, "Xiangjiang Film and Television", this is the news about "The Myth".

"this……"

Seeing the page, Lu Bu and Yu Feihong looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

[Cheng Long joins "The Myth" and collaborates with director Tang Jili on an adventure action film for the fourth time! 】

"Brother is also participating?" Yu Feihong was very surprised and even a little unbelievable.

"It seems..." Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "There are no roles suitable for him. Is it just a supporting role?"

"Isn't the eldest brother also a member of the Emperor's family? Maybe he was invited to promote box office sales." Yu Feihong analyzed.

"It's possible." Lu Bu nodded in agreement with this view.

Look down.

It turned out that Cheng Long was going to play the villainous boss "Mr. Gu", and he and Cheng Jiaban were to serve as the action team.

Seeing this, Yu Feihong was surprised and said: "Didn't my eldest brother never play villain roles?"

Lu Bu recalled for a while and said: "For someone who has played a villain, there is a movie called "Wind, Rain and Meteor"."

Cheng Long once explained this matter in an interview, saying that he actually does not reject playing villain roles, but considering the perspective of young movie fans, in order to set a good example for them, he ultimately stayed away from villain roles.

In fact, not only does he not play a villain, but there are also no very bloody scenes in his movies, and there are more humorous scenes.

In fact, it was an accident that Cheng Cong participated.

By chance, he returned to King Kong and saw Tang Jili and Yang Shoucheng discussing the preparations for "The Myth".

After learning about it, I immediately fell in love with the story and really wanted to play the lead role, Meng Yi.

Cheng Long also thought that he could win this role with just one sentence, because he and Tang Jili have been friends for many years, and Yang Shoucheng is highly valued. It can be said that it is difficult to refuse his request, both in public and private matters.

But the reality did not go as he wished. Firstly, Yang Shoucheng spent 300 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot the movie "The Dragon Reborn" for him, but the global box office was only 34 million U.S. dollars, a very serious loss; secondly, when Yang Shoucheng came, Tang Jili even liked Lu Bu to play the role.

The protagonist, Meng Yi, has already signed a contract.

After Cheng Long's request was fruitless, in order to avoid regrets, he could only do the next best thing and choose a character to make a guest appearance.

Of course, in the end, it is called "bringing new people".

But to be honest, with the addition of Cheng Cage, the filming of this movie will go much smoother.

Because, the filming locations include the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum in Xi'an, the lava caves in Jiuxiang, Yunnan, the cliff waterfalls of Lishan Mountain, the Holy Mountain of Disha in India, the Temple of Disha and the Tomb of Saint Sacred Emperor... etc., with his influence,

It will be easier to get to these places.

Yu Feihong sighed: "Now, the lineup of "The Myth" is no worse than that of "The Promise", no, it should be much more luxurious." As he said that, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said excitedly: "This is great for you.

It's a good thing for me, and I can establish myself in the film industry through this movie."

Lu Bu nodded, it was indeed a good opportunity, and immediately said: "You have to perform well."

Yu Feihong smiled and said, "You'll be fine. It just depends on Director Tang's directing skills and the action design of the family class."

"Hiss..." Lu Bu took a breath and muttered: "Although this is director Tang's first costume romance film, I believe in his ability. After all, the script has been formed, and it will not be bad no matter how you shoot it."

Tang Jili is famous for directing action movies, such as "Police Story 3", "Thunderbolt" and other movies, but since the turn of the millennium, he has thought about transformation and is unwilling to make action movies that only involve fighting and killing.

Instead, I want to shoot some beautiful and romantic love movies.

It is true that this is the first time I have dabbled in this kind of subject matter, but the director's skills are there and he will never deviate from his roots.

Then, Lu Bu added: "As for the action design of the family class, there is no need to worry about this. If it really doesn't work, don't we still have Director Tang and me?"

This is true. Tang Jili and he are both capable of martial arts.

But we won’t know whether it will work until filming starts.

And when they were talking about "Myth" and "The Promise", these two movies were also discussed on the Internet.

"The competition for the box office of domestic films next year will be fierce."

"It seems that Zhou Suichi's "Kung Fu" will be released during the Spring Festival, as well as Xu Laoguai's "Seven Swords", and Zhou Jielun and Chen Guanxi's "Initial D"."

"You said there is one missing film, "Hancheng Strategy" starring Tony Leung Chaowei, Yan Xianqi and Shu Qi."

"Investment is not at the same level, but I am still optimistic about "The Promise" and "The Myth"."

"But why do I feel unreliable when Brother Chen Kai is going to make some epic fantasy film?"

"If you say that, then it would be unreliable for Tang Jili to make a love action movie."

"What I'm more worried about is that neither Lu Bu nor Hsieh Tingfeng has participated in movies so far, and they feel they can't handle the box office and reputation."
