246. "Long time no see" (Part 1)

Liu Shihong sat on a chair in his office, looking at the empty room, but he still felt like he was falling in a dream.

Ye Sumang came, with an intention of investment, and was extremely sincere. Just now, the two of them made some promises verbally, and after the other party's economic team and lawyer team sorted out the money and equity issues needed to acquire the company, their company would change their name.

However, Liu Shihong did not feel sad at all about this, but instead felt full of excitement.

Although Ye Sumang will acquire it in full, he will still take out part of the equity dividends as Liu Shihong's future salary, which undoubtedly guarantees Liu Shihong's life. It can even be said that his income is much more than he does alone.

Moreover, after the company was acquired by Ye Sumang, there would undoubtedly be a backer with huge funds, and his special effects team would also usher in a leap forward development. Even Liu Shihong began to fantasize about the feeling of the most advanced equipment promised by Ye Sumang to come to him. I think it would be awesome!

However, what made Liu Shihong the most excited was that Ye Sumang was actually preparing to hire American special effects technicians to become consultants for a high salary to guide the company's development. This is also the last weight that touched Liu Shihong's heart. As a dreamer who pursues special effects, money is not necessarily a necessity, but technology must be his favorite. Being able to get guidance from the world's top special effects personnel is undoubtedly what Liu Shihong hopes most.

Ye Sumang promised to help him do all this.

"Hu, no wonder the magpie is here today and keeps chirping. It's really a good thing." Liu Shihong couldn't help but smile again, then he let out a breath, calmed down his excitement, and then picked up the phone on the table.

He felt that this good news must be told to the company's talents as soon as possible. After all, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun.

Three minutes later, a shocking cheer suddenly came from the fourth floor where the Phantom Special Effects team was located, which made the rest of the company staff in the entire office building look sideways. What good thing happened to be worth being so happy.

Ye Sumang, who left the special effects company, did not stop for more, and took the plane of the day and rushed back to Kyoto.

The back and forth of these days did not delay Ye Sumang's creation of the script. Soon, the story about telling a martial arts world in the Republic of China was written. When Ye Sumang finally closed the script, he also filled in the final name of the script on the cover position - "The Grandmaster".

However, the more I continued to write, the more Ye Sumang felt that this movie could not be completed in one or two months. Especially for such real action movies, there are some things that cannot be completed with special effects.

Some martial arts, like some martial arts, must be played like alike, and must be played really well, especially Bagua, Xingyi, and Wingchun, which require body shape and strength, requires time to exercise to be played well.

"Special training, special training is necessary." Ye Sumang touched his frown brows and finally made a decision in his heart.

Holding the written script, Ye Sumang thought for a while and picked up the phone next to the table.

"Li Meng, please call Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong up." These two actors are the ones that Ye Sumang likes. Both their acting skills and appearance correspond to the characters in the script, so Ye Sumang wants to ask these two people's opinions first.

Soon, Yuan Hong and Zhou Xun both came to Ye Sumang's office.

After taking out the copied script, Ye Sumang sent them one copy, then sat in a chair and waited for their answers.

The strong clock kept walking, and as time passed, the two people on the other side quickly finished reading the script.

"Su Mang, are you going to make a martial arts film in your next movie?" Zhou Xun closed the script first, and a satisfied look flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Ye Sumang nodded and made a decision.

"Brother Ye, this script is really exciting. Just after watching it for a long time, I feel it is super connotation and it is also super exciting." Yuan Hong also finished reading the script and expressed his thoughts excitedly.

"Zhou Xun, I suggest you play the role of Miss Gong Family Second in the script. Yuan Hong, the master of Bajiquan, or the master of Xingyiquan, Ma San, both of which are very consistent with your age and appearance. However, I suggest you choose Bajiquan, always the first-line sky. As the third person in the film, his personality is more distinct. Although there are not too many shots, it is very outstanding."

Ye Sumang also gave sincere suggestions from the two of them on the other side.

Because of the virtual environment in his mind, when he initially completed the script, he had been thinking about the plot direction in his mind for a long time, and while dealing with some bugs one by one, he also became more and more clear about the characters in the film.

After all, a character on paper is virtualized into reality, and the vividness alone can give Ye Sumang more inspiration and experience.

After listening to Ye Sumang's suggestion, Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong nodded. Ye Sumang was authoritative in this matter, and his suggestions were pertinent and practical. Moreover, the two characters proposed by Ye Sumang were undoubtedly what they wanted.

Especially Zhou Xun, after seeing the contradictory task of Miss Gong Er, she couldn't help but fall in love with this role at first sight. After hearing that Ye Sumang assigned her this role, the corners of her mouth and eyes unconsciously brought a very satisfied smile.

"In addition, I have another requirement, which is also the key to your final determination to participate in the movie." Ye Sumang leaned on the chair and suddenly said seriously.

Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong's faces, which were a little excited, couldn't help but become serious.

"This is a martial arts film, and it is also an action film, so this movie will not be filled with a lot of special effects like a martial arts TV series. What I want is reality. So if you want to be an actor or a starring actor, you must accept my training and go to various sects to truly learn the boxing techniques you will play in the roles!"

As soon as Ye Sumang said this, Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong were both stunned.

"One year?" Zhou Xun asked in disbelief. Although Yuan Hong on the side did not speak, the expression on his face was obviously the same.

"This is the most basic thing. If you practice for a year and don't satisfy me, it may take longer to go." Ye Sumang replied without hesitation, and his words could not tolerate anyone bargaining with him.

At this moment, Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong couldn't help but feel silent.

A year-long blank period is definitely equivalent to a fatal existence for a popular actor. Not to mention the income over the past year, popularity often slowly dissipates in the passage of time during this uneconomic period. If this drama is unspeakable, it also means that the results they have achieved will plummet.

So for a moment, both of them hesitated.

"You guys go back and think about it carefully. You can give me a reply tomorrow." Ye Sumang didn't care about their hesitant attitude, and he also understood the difficulties of celebrities in this kind of choice.

But at this moment, Zhou Xun suddenly stood up.

"Su Mang, I've taken this script. When will the training start?" When he said this, Zhou Xun also breathed a sigh of relief. She chose to go to the end. She trusted Ye Sumang, trusted his talents, and trusted him not to harm him.

Ye Sumang's eyes could not help but admire Zhou Xun's firm gaze last year. This girl's courage is really rare.

Yuan Hong, who was sitting aside, was stunned and unbelievable.

Who is Zhou Xun? The top actress in China, and now is her peak moment. There are constant advertising endorsements. Many media have speculated that Zhou Xun will be the winner of mainland female star income this year.

However, it was this kind of person who was both famous and extremely important to make a decision so quickly, which made him, the "newcomer", feel a little ashamed even if he was surprised.

"Director, I'll participate too!" Yuan Hong gritted his teeth and agreed.

After all, there are all choices for such a big-name star Zhou Xun, so what should I hesitate about as a small-class artist? Being able to participate in Ye Sumang's movies is the most rare opportunity. Yuan Hong is also betting on all his wealth with the idea of ​​taking a desperate bet.

"Don't you need to think about it carefully?" Ye Sumang did not agree immediately at this moment, but continued to ask back.

As a result, both of them shook their heads and indicated that they were sure.

"So recently, I will instruct the agency to complete your latest contract and itinerary within one month. Zhou Xun is a bit special. If you have signed contracts, then take the time to complete them. In addition, you should do more exercise recently. Learning martial arts is boring and tiring, so it is necessary to store your lower strength first. I will instruct the fitness teacher to conduct physical training for you, and do it well in advance if you can save it. If you save it, it may be even more uncomfortable."

Hearing that both of them had confirmed their thoughts, Ye Sumang immediately began to instruct what happened next. Zhou Xun and Yuan Hong both listened carefully and nodded from time to time to express their agreement.

It was not until an hour later that the two of them walked out of Ye Sumang's office.

"Sister Xun, we are working together again." Yuan Hong said with a smile.

"Yeah." Zhou Xun also smiled, but couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart: "I promised because I trust Su Mang, why are you? You must know that your popularity is not like me now. It may not be possible for me to be blank for a year, but you are in the accumulation period now, and a year will have a great impact on you."

"Because I also believe in Director Ye, his talent and ability." Yuan Hong replied naturally, but then he thought of something and squeezed and sighed: "I think I must ask Director Ye to pay me an extra salary this time, otherwise I will really have to drink the northwest wind for a year."

Zhou Xun was stunned, looking at Yuan Hong's sincere eyes, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He liked Yuan Hong's attitude very much.

"Then let's work together."

"come on!"

As the first batch of their own artists confirmed their roles, the remaining characters also began to enter the selection stage, and the news about Ye Sumang's new film also appeared on the front page of the media.

"Martial arts film? Who can stop Ye Sumang from his wild creativity?"

This sentence is the headline of the Kyoto Entertainment News that day, and this sentence undoubtedly expresses the voices of many people in the circle.

As we all know, mainland directors are divided according to the "generation", and each generation has its own style. Ye Sumang, as a well-deserved iconic figure of the sixth generation director, his wild thoughts have also become the symbol of the sixth generation directors.

"This generation of directors has accepted countless fresh and diverse cultures in the era of the explosion of life information, so they have diversified their performances in movies. They seem to have no fixed style and they do whatever they want when filming. However, in fact, when they look deeper, they all have two words, that is, 'indissity', and perhaps literary point, can also be called 'freedom'."

"Whether good or evil, this generation of directors basically has a feeling of "carelessness". The films they made are not limited to their own understanding of their era, but have a large span, and even some are only in fantasy. Their thoughts are richer because of the complex knowledge they receive. However, this has also caused many exaggerated films in this generation of directors. Overall, this generation of directors is also an extreme existence. Good and good, bad and bad."

The above two passages are what a senior in the director world said in private. I don’t know who revealed it, and it has become the definition of the sixth generation of directors now.

Ye Sumang's involvement in martial arts action movies this time undoubtedly added a lot of weight to this definition.

After all, just as this senior said, Ye Sumang is really free to shoot movies, without a fixed pattern, filming comedy, romance, musical and dance drama, and now he is going to shoot martial arts action movies. No one can even guess what plans Ye Sumang will have next.

However, this time the media no longer had a wait-and-see attitude towards Ye Sumang's new film, but instead expressed good intentions.

The reason for all this is naturally due to the martial arts strength shown by Ye Sumang in the last video. Perhaps the convincing feeling brought by the three punches made many people feel that even if Ye Sumang was involved in a martial arts film for the first time, he would not feel unfamiliar.

On Ye Sumang's fan forum, many fans expressed their expectations and blessings for Ye Sumang's new films.

"Su Mang's new film is a martial arts film, a master of the generation. Just by listening to the name, I feel very imposing."

"I really didn't expect Ye Sumang's new film to be a martial arts film. He really wanted to try everything, but as a movie fan, I still couldn't help but look forward to what the martial arts film under Ye Sumang would look like."

"Support Ye Sumang and support a generation of masters to become famous!"

The announcement of Ye Sumang's new film has undoubtedly caused a lot of topics, but compared with the popularity outside, Ye Sumang's new film application can be said to be a waste of time.

It’s not that Ye Sumang’s gold sign is not easy to use. To be honest, when Ye Sumang just announced the news of his new film, his company’s phone number became a hotline, and almost as soon as he hung up, someone would call in immediately. It was nothing more than just for a role.

However, when Ye Sumang proposed the "one-year training plan", the phone ringing became less.

It seemed as if the enthusiastic visitors just now did not exist. Sure enough, the preparation time of a year was enough to scare away most of the actors who came here with enthusiasm.

Of course, there are also some second- and third-tier actors who want to take advantage of this, but they do not meet Ye Sumang's wishes to a greater extent. Some are due to appearance, while others are due to their shortcomings in acting. With the idea of ​​not being insignificant than being incompetent, Ye Sumang is not anxious about this. After all, the preparation period for this film will be a long time.

And Ye Sumang believes that he will definitely find good actors, but it is just a matter of time. He has some, and he can wait.

Just as all the actors were watching Ye Sumang's new film, Ye Sumang did not focus his energy on this aspect, but instead did something that had nothing to do with the movie, because Huang Bo's first solo single "Long Time No See" was officially announced.

The one whom I look forward to most about this day is undoubtedly Huang Bo himself.

As Ye Sumang said, this song is Huang Bo's turnaround work, which is to change the existence of Huang Bo's image. For this reason, the company also specially spent a huge amount of money on the single to make an MV and filmed a touching story that lasted about fifteen minutes, similar to a small movie, in order to make this song more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

April 20th is an ordinary weekend, but for the music department of Tianxia Film and Television, for Ye Sumang, Ning Hao, and Huang Bo, this day is an extremely important day.

When the clock's hour hand pointed to zero, "If Not" also landed on major music websites.

Almost at the same time, audio and video stores that had been in contact with a long time also received CDs of this single. It would be on the shelves around the country before 6 o'clock in the morning.

"Yezi, do you think I'm singing this song to the end?" Huang Bo did not go to the bar or go home. Instead, he stayed in Ye Sumang's office with a rare look on his face, staring at the computer with a nervous look, constantly refreshing the webpage, wanting to see the results of his singles.

The ones accompanying him are naturally the brothers Ye Sumang and Ning Hao.

At this time, Ye Sumang's eyelids were already fighting, but Huang Bo was still forcibly pressed on the sofa. According to Huang Bo's words, I don't worry if you are there.

Regarding Huang Bo's problem, Ye Sumang just yawned a big yawn and was speechless. Huang Bo was indeed relieved, but Ye Sumang was really sleepy, but Ning Hao beside him seemed very energetic.

"Neck, don't worry, Ye Zi's song, coupled with the production of Master Jin Peida, and the so good and touching MV written by Ye Zi for you, I think it's hard not to become popular."

"Yes, you will definitely be popular!" After hearing Ning Hao's words, Huang Bo also said to himself, as if he was encouraging himself.

Looking at the old brother's anxiety, Ye Sumang smiled helplessly and couldn't help but yawn again, but at this moment, Huang Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the screen and shouting: "There is data, there is data!"

For a moment, Ye Sumang was also sleepy by Huang Bo's words. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
