Among these four scripts, the one that Zhang Yuxuan likes the most is the movie "October Siege". The characters in it are all very vivid and have their own pursuits. For their respective pursuits, they may even sacrifice their lives. No matter what.
It can be said that any character here is completely playable.
However, in "October Siege", the role that Zhang Yuxuan most wanted to play was Liu Yubai.
It’s not that the other characters are not good, it’s just that Zhang Yuxuan remembers Liu Yubai’s fight scene too deeply. A one-meter-long iron fan stood on a stone bridge, and one man could shut it down and ten thousand others could not open it. Although Finally died in Yan Xiaoguo.
"October Siege" gave Zhang Yuxuan a script, but did not ask Zhang Yuxuan to play that role. The meaning is very obvious, these are the roles, and it is up to Zhang Yuxuan to choose which one he wants to play.
However, due to Zhang Yuxuan's age, there are only a few roles that Zhang Yuxuan can choose.
Chong Yang, Li Chongguang, Liu Yubai, and fourth brother Deng. These four roles are all quite suitable. Among them, Chong Yang's role has the most roles, and he is also outstanding. However, the role of Liu Yubai is what Zhang Yuxuan is interested in.
Of course, Liu Yubai's role was less, and in many of the scenes he was still playing the role of a beggar. He just lay down on the ground, which made it easier to act. The only difficult part was the fight scene.
However, Zhang Yuxuan is not opposed to fighting scenes. After all, he has filmed many martial arts dramas, TV series, and movies, such as the kung fu movie "Ye Wen", so fighting scenes are not too difficult for Zhang Yuxuan.
"Sister Hed, this is it. I want the role of Liu Yubai." Zhang Yuxuan picked out the script of "October Siege" and said to Li Hed.
"The script of the October Siege is indeed good, but the role of Liu Yubai doesn't have much role -"
"It doesn't matter if it's more or less, the pay is the same anyway." Zhang Yuxuan said lazily.
Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's words, Li Hun couldn't help but shake her head, but she had no objection to Zhang Yuxuan's choice, because Li Hudong generally did not interfere with matters like Zhang Yuxuan's casting, because Zhang Yuxuan himself did a good job.
"What about the three remaining scripts? Forget about "Ouchi Secret Agent Rei Ling Dog" directed by Wang Jing. What about the remaining two modern dramas? It seems that the scripts are still acceptable. Don't you choose one?" Li Heding asked.
"Well, forget it. As you know, I don't have much interest in this kind of movies." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.
"It's fine if you're not interested, but you didn't have many roles in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", and now you don't have many roles in "October Siege" either. Yuxuan, no matter what, you will have to star in a movie next. ."
"Starring in a movie, it's not like the script is too pleasing to the eye." Zhang Yuxuan stretched lazily and said.
"Write it yourself. The scripts you wrote are all very good. Now go ahead and write another one, one in which you will be the protagonist."
"Well, didn't I agree before? Just wait, I'll make a script when I think about it."
"As soon as possible. The filming of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is almost finished, and there are not many scenes in "October Siege", so the filming can't be slow. So you'd better prepare your script as soon as possible, and in addition to the script, you also need to find a director. Find actors and try to resolve these matters before you finish filming, so that you can seamlessly join the filming directly after filming."
"Hey, hey, are you trying to make me act like a cow or a horse? And it's seamless?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
"It's already good that I didn't let you interfere with the show. Now our studio has just been established and we need more works and exposure. As the boss, of course you have to put in more efforts." Li Hedden was not angry.
said.
"Uh, okay, okay, I understand. Oh, if I had known earlier, it would be better not to set up a studio." Zhang Yuxuan muttered casually.
Li He rolled her eyes. She knew very well about Zhang Yuxuan's character. Maybe Zhang Yuxuan really regretted it at this moment, but the studio had already been established, so even if Zhang Yuxuan regretted it, it would be too late.
Moreover, although Zhang Yuxuan would not take the initiative to mention some things and truths that make sense, but if Li Xing mentioned them aside, most of them would be done by Zhang Yuxuan.
It can only be said that Leslie Cheung is not an active type, but more of a passive type.
It's like that. If there is any work at home, he will never take the initiative to do it. But as long as someone instructs him and tells him what to do, such as sweeping the floor or washing dishes, he will not refuse. He will really do it.
The kind who can sweep the floor and wash dishes.
Anyway, it's the type where he sees no work, and he has to tell you what to do before he does it, and it's not difficult to instruct him.
…
We have already made an agreement with the crew of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", so in the next week, Zhang Yuxuan's scenes will be fully concentrated for filming.
The person in charge of filming was an assistant director of the crew.
Although "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has two directors on the surface, in addition to the two directors, there are also many assistant directors. The abilities of these assistant directors are not weaker than those of the directors, and each of them even has their own special responsibility.
Once the scene is finished, it will be submitted to the chief director for review. If the review passes, the footage shot by the assistant director will be used. If the chief director is not satisfied, the assistant director will go back and reshoot.
Therefore, asking an assistant director to come over specifically to shoot Zhang Yuxuan's scenes was not a perfunctory task by the crew. Even the assistant director's requirements were even more stringent.
But no matter what, in less than a week, Zhang Yuxuan's scenes were completely completed. After all, the scenes of Zhang Yuxuan's character only lasted about ten minutes. Part of it was shot before, and the rest was shot together.
How long can I shoot?
After Zhang Yuxuan's personal role was completed, he left the crew.
When Zhang Yuxuan returned to Zhang Yuxuan's studio, Wu Jing had already returned from the no man's land.
After all, Wu Jing's role as Police Officer Wang in "No Man's Land" really didn't have many roles, and the filming didn't take long.
After Wu Jing came back, she heard that Leslie Cheung had specially written a script for him and asked him to direct and act in it. This gave Wu Jing a surprise.
"Yuxuan, I heard that you made a script and asked me to direct and act in it? Is it true?" Wu Jing couldn't wait to ask after seeing Yuxuan Zhang.
"Well, it's true, but the script is still in the screenwriting department, and I don't know if it has been completed. When you have nothing to do, go and take a look, chat with them, and discuss ideas. This will help you in your later career as a director and in filming.
It helps every time." Zhang Yuxuan said to Wu Jing.
"Okay, I'll go to the screenwriting department right now." After saying that, Wu Jing couldn't wait to run towards the screenwriting department.
…
"Yuxuan, in a few days you will go to the crew of "October Siege" to report. So before you go, please come up with the new script." Li Hed told Yuxuan Zhang.
"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it." When Zhang Yuxuan heard that Li He asked him for a script again, Zhang Yuxuan was a little helpless. In order to prevent her from endlessly asking for scripts, Zhang Yuxuan gave him the story of a movie he was considering these days.
came out.
"Great Wish" is a sex comedy movie from Bangzi Country. It cannot be said to be a particularly pure sex comedy. In fact, it only has such content in terms of topics. In fact, it is quite excessive.
Moreover, this movie was later adapted in China, but how can I put it, the screenwriter was not very good, and the director was not very good either. Anyway, a movie that originally had good box office and critical reviews was adapted into
A bad drama. Although the review of radio and television has become stricter later, so some places inevitably need to be modified, but changing a good script into a bad script is also the skill of a screenwriter, turning a good story into a bad one
The film is also the director’s ability.
Yuxuan Zhang has watched the original movie of Bangziguo, and it is indeed an excellent movie. It can be said that it is a very funny and touching movie.
When Leslie Cheung was watching a movie, he was laughing one moment, and was so moved that he wanted to cry the next moment. Just when he wanted to cry, he couldn't help laughing the next moment. This cycle continues, although emotionally
It feels weird, but this is really a very good and excellent movie.
Although it is said that if Zhang Yuxuan wants to continue to pluck Shen Teng's wool, he can do it. After all, he still has many works. But he can't always catch a sheep and keep plucking the wool. He has to change it anyway, so change it first.
Wait for a while and continue to collect Shen Teng's wool next time.
So, the screenwriting department was summoned for another meeting.
Only this time, in addition to Zhang Yuxuan, Li Hao and members of the screenwriting department, there was also Wu Jing in the meeting.
"Everyone in the screenwriting department, how is the previous script of "Wolf Warrior"? Has it been written?" Li He asked.
"Two versions have been written, but some details are still not perfect. However, as long as the details are improved, the script can be completed quickly." Someone from the screenwriting department said quickly.
"Actually, it's pretty good. As for the details, I just don't know enough about special forces and firearms, but I can help in this regard." Wu Jing said at this time.
"Is that so? Then Wu Jing, you will have to worry more about it." After hearing Wu Jing's words, Li He nodded and said to Wu Jing.
"It's not too much trouble, but I plan to go to the army for a while before the filming of "Wolf Warrior" starts, so as to experience the feeling of being a soldier, especially the special forces. In this way, when filming, I
Only then can we grasp the role of Wolf Warrior more accurately," Wu Jing said.
"Going to the army to experience it? It's okay, but how long will you go?" Li He heard Wu Jing's words and agreed. After all, in order to make a good movie, it is good to make more preparations in advance.
"Three months, let's go and stay for three months first." Wu Jing had obviously thought about it before, so when Li He asked, he answered directly.
"Three months is a bit long, but it's okay, as long as the movie can be filmed." Li He nodded.
Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing with a strange expression.
Zhang Yuxuan doesn't remember how long Wu Jing went to the army to film Wolf Warriors, but it shouldn't have been three months. Three months is too short.
In fact, Wu Jing did not plan to stay in the army for three months. However, he had just joined Yuxuan Zhang's studio and went straight to the army before he had done anything. If he had stayed longer,
If it’s too long, Li Hedou would most likely not agree.
So Wu Jing planned to talk about it for three months first, and after three months he would continue to stay in the army without coming out. At that time, even if Li He had any objections, he would not have anyone to talk to.
As for how long she will stay, Wu Jing doesn't have an accurate time yet.
Therefore, Wu Jing actually wanted to kill first and then show off.
The reason why Wu Jing dared to do this was because he had a good relationship with Leslie Cheung. If it had been anyone else, Wu Jing would not have dared to be so bold.
"Since Wu Jing is going to stay in the army for three months, the film cannot be prepared so quickly. So, let's take two-thirds of the screenwriting department to write a new script, and the remaining one-third will continue.
Perfect the script of "Wolf Warrior"." Li He said.
Hearing what Li He said, Wu Jing had no objection at all. He wished that the script could be completed as slowly as possible.
"As for the new script, Yuxuan, you come and talk to the screenwriters."
"Okay, this time the new script is called "The Great Wish". It's a, well, sex comedy."
Hearing the type of movie mentioned by Yuxuan Zhang, Li He, the screenwriter and even Wu Jing were a little surprised.
"Sex comedy? Yuxuan, is this what you're talking about?"
"The theme of the movie is sex. The great wish is the story of the male protagonist wanting to get rid of his virginity and become a real man." explained Zhang Yuxuan.
Hearing Yuxuan Zhang's explanation, everyone nodded understandingly, but Li Hed still frowned: "Yuxuan, the scale of the movie cannot be too big. After the two movies "Apple" the year before last and "Lust, Caution" last year,
The radio and television side seems to want to impose restrictions on this aspect. Although the restrictions have not been discovered yet, but——"
"I understand, I understand. This is the topic of this movie, but that kind of scene will never appear." Zhang Yuxuan explained.
Hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said, Li Hen breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you can continue telling the story."
"Well, "Great Wish", this story mainly tells the story of a high school student who suddenly suffered from muscular dystrophy and was told by the doctor that he didn't have much time left. He decided to fulfill one wish before he died, which was to become a real man.
The two close friends who heard the news fought at all costs for their brother's last wish..."
Zhang Yuxuan told the general plot of the story.
The screenwriter and Li He had a general impression in their minds, and then the screenwriters began to discuss the specific details of the story with Zhang Yuxuan.
Everyone discussed word by word for nearly two hours, and a rough story framework was completed. Next, it was time for the screenwriters to fill in the specific content.
"Remember, this is a comedy, but in addition to comedy, it must also be touching. I want the audience in the cinema to laugh one moment and cry the next moment while watching the movie.
When they are about to cry, make them laugh again." Yuxuan Zhang told his last request.
Hearing Yuxuan Zhang's request, the screenwriters looked at each other. This request was a bit difficult.
But who makes Yuxuan Zhang the boss, so the screenwriters can only try their best to write.
Moreover, during the discussion just now, Zhang Yuxuan also gave an example, so it is not too difficult.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I suddenly felt that the movie "The Great Wish" seemed quite interesting. How about you arrange a role for me, and after I finish playing this role, how about I go to the army?" Wu Jing was listening at the side.
, knew the general plot of the movie "Great Wish" and thought it would be interesting to make this movie, so he also wanted to participate.
"You're too old." Zhang Yuxuan said directly: "The three protagonists are all high school students. Although we can't find real high school students to play them, the maximum age is no more than 25 years old. In this way, you can still play high school students with makeup. You
I’m over thirty, so I’m not suitable anymore.” Zhang Yuxuan said unceremoniously.
In fact, at the beginning, Leslie Cheung also wanted to bring Wu Jing and even Zhang Yi with him. After all, they were both artists signed by his own studio.
However, the age of the two of them is inappropriate. Wu Jing is already thirty-six and Zhang Yi is also thirty-one. It is somewhat inappropriate to act young.
"What's wrong with my age? My face is tender. My face is tender and I look young. If I say I'm in my twenties now, some people will definitely believe it." Wu Jing couldn't help but say.
"It's true that you have a tender face, but do you think you are suitable to play a high school student?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
"Why is it inappropriate? Put on makeup, put on makeup vigorously, and look younger. It's not difficult."
Hearing Wu Jing's words, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but look up at Wu Jing's face. To be honest, it is indeed quite tender, and it looks really small. But it is not as small as the high school stage.
But then again, it is not uncommon in the entertainment industry for someone in their thirties to play a high school student. It can even be said to be quite common.
Not to mention baby faces like Tan Songyun.
When Shen Teng starred in Charlotte Troubles and played the role of a high school student, he was already thirty-five years old, not to mention that compared to Wu Jing, Shen Teng's face looked older.
Moreover, in the Chinese version of "The Great Wish" Bangzi, the three male protagonists are almost thirty years old.
"Let's do this. You try putting on makeup. By the way, let Zhang Yi also try on makeup. See if it works. If it works, the three of us will make this movie together. If it doesn't work, don't even think about it." Zhang Yuxuan thought.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to give it a try, maybe it will work.
After all, it is not uncommon for actors in their thirties to play high school students or college students, and it is even relatively common.
However, Zhang Yuxuan decided to try makeup first to see if the two of them can do it. If they really don't have the temperament of a high school student, even if they are artists in his own company, Zhang Yuxuan still won't choose these two.
After all, Leslie Cheung still has requirements for movies.
