Chapter 212 Take Your Hands Off
The original version of "Sword Rain" was produced by John Woo himself and co-directed with Su Zhaobin.
Yang Ye went a step further and took on the position of producer, handing over the directorship to Hu Jinquan.
Then the two divided the work.
Hu Jinquan is an expert on the history of the Ming Dynasty. He is responsible for the moralistic design based on the character's image, as well as secretly traveling to the mainland to select scenes.
This movie is about artistic conception. It must capture the feeling of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River to be good.
When it comes to artistic conception, among Chinese directors, Hu Jinquan considers himself second, and no one dares to claim first.
After discussion, Yang Ye selected the shooting locations in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shaoxing.
Especially the water town of Shaoxing is a key inspection target.
The most important scenic spot in "Sword Rain" is the stone bridge, which is in Shaoxing.
Hu Jinquan has always wanted to go back to the mainland. If Yang Ye hadn't asked him to film "Sword Rain", he would have secretly returned to the mainland to visit relatives at the invitation of the person in charge of overseas Chinese affairs in China soon.
Yang Ye is responsible for selecting actors for the movie.
With Yang Ye's status as a celebrity, no one will refuse the actors he names.
But this time it was a little different. Going to the mainland to film was risky. Faced with the possibility of being banned, Yang Ye had to explain it to them in advance.
Why is Yang Ye so strong? You must go to the mainland to film a movie, but you also rejected Hu Jinquan's suggestion to find a scapegoat to ask for directions?
Because there is a difference between providing help in times of need and adding the icing on the cake.
Hong Kong film companies all want to film in the mainland. There are many places of interest in the mainland and the labor costs are low, which can save a lot of money.
It’s just that no one dared to take this step first.
And Yang Ye has become the first "crab eater". He is a real warrior in the eyes of everyone, and his reputation in the entertainment industry will skyrocket again.
If someone else sets the precedent and then follows suit, the meaning will be lost.
In fact, Yang Ye didn't panic at all, because the original film "Running to the Angry Sea" had already given him a taste.
Has Taiwan banned Lin Zixiang and Liu Hua? No!
They are all fine, Yang Ye is afraid of a hammer!
Furthermore, Yang Ye's reputation in the Chinese world is so great that the Taiwan authorities would bear huge public opinion risks by blocking him.
In the context of "communication, commerce, and navigation", people are looking forward to easing cross-strait relations.
Yang Ye just went to the mainland to make a movie, so you want to ban him?
You are going against the will of the people!
Furthermore, Yang Ye still has some connections in Taiwan. For example, although his cheap father-in-law Hu Gengnian has retired, he can still clear some connections through him.
In addition, Yang Ye has some other preparations!
All in all, as long as Yang Ye keeps a low profile and does not want to release the movie in Taiwan after it is made, the possibility of him being banned is very small.
...
In the list drawn up by Yang Ye, Hong Jingbao was only invited to make a cameo and play a supporting role. He didn't care and agreed directly.
Yuan Biao was invited to play Lei Bin in the "Blackstone" killer organization in the film. The role was quite heavy, but he didn't think much about it and quickly agreed.
Yuan Biao basically films with a few senior brothers. He doesn't go out to take roles, so he doesn't care about being banned. He will continue to work even if he is banned.
And he and Yang Ye formed a "Chinese Dragon Team" combination, and they even went to Japan with Yang Ye to show off.
Compared with the Japanese market, the Taiwan market is nothing.
The leader of Black Stone, the "Wing of Wheels", is actually a eunuch, and Yang Ye originally preferred Liu Xun to play the role.
The impression that later generations of netizens have on Liu Xun is that... if he puts on his beard, he is the embodiment of justice, but if he removes his beard, he is an arrogant eunuch.
Liu Xun was originally a Peking Opera master from the Mainland and taught at the China Peking Opera Theatre. Because he was dissatisfied with the bureaucracy in the Mainland, he came to Hong Kong not long ago to develop.
If he had followed his original life trajectory, he would have taught at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts until 1986, when he served as the opera director in Tsui Hark's film "The King of Swordsman" and began his relationship with movies.
Four years later, Xu Ke invited him to play the role of the factory boss in "The Swordsman". With this role, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He became a blockbuster and subsequently created a large number of classic screen images.
However... Yang Ye gave up the idea after seeing Liu Xun himself.
Liu Xun is too thin and dry, which is very different from the temperament of the King of Wheels.
In the movie "Sword Rain", almost all the characters have a strong air of pretentiousness.
It goes without saying that the male protagonist Jiang Asheng is a tough guy, and the villain King Wheeler is no less generous.
It's just that Jiang Asheng pretended to be cool just to slap him in the face. But if the Wheel King shows off, he will only be struck by lightning.
The wheel king uses a heavy sword, which is very powerful. But in the end he had to show off his water-bending sword skills.
I also want to tell the heroine Xiaoyu: Your water-bending swordsmanship is missing four moves, I will demonstrate it to you...
In the end, Yang Ye gave this role to Bai eagle.
The Eunuch Cao played by Bai Ying in "Dragon Gate Inn" is full of character and impressive momentum, and it doesn't feel out of place to directly play the role of King of Wheels.
As for Liu Xun, now that he has met the real person, he must not waste his talent. Yang Ye invited him to play the role of the caiman of the "Black Stone" organization.
The actor is also a pretender, and Yang Ye feels that Liu Xun is quite good at playing such yin and yang characters.
The character Ye Chanqing of the "Black Stone" killer organization shows off her glamorous image. The original version cast a big S, who was neither beautiful nor sexy, so it was considered a huge failure in casting.
Now that Yang Ye came to shoot, he chose Guan Zhilin to act, which is both sexy and beautiful.
It’s just that...she has announced her breakup with Yang Ye, and Yang Ye has to coax her back.
Finally, there are the male and female protagonists. They all have two skins.
The male lead needs to find an inconspicuous supporting role to play the role of Zhang Renfeng, so that the audience can ignore him.
As for Jiang Asheng, it is naturally played by Jet Li, who is also a newcomer who has never shown his face. The purpose of this is to make the audience think that he is a courier in the early stages of the movie.
The heroine is with him because she just wants to find an honest man to marry and live an ordinary life.
The heroine also has two skins.
In the early days, Lin Xilei's skin was relatively beautiful. When she was undergoing plastic surgery, she said to the ghost doctor, "Give me a face like an ordinary person."
So I changed to Yang Ziqiong’s skin.
Yang Ye decided to use Lin Qingxia and Hui Yinghong instead.
In the early stage, it was Lin Qingxia’s skin. She said to the ghost doctor, give me the face of an ordinary person.
So I changed to Hui Yinghong skin.
Although this good disciple of Yang Ye is quite beautiful, he cannot compare with Lin Qingxia.
But... Lin Qingxia also has to be coaxed back.
Nima, the wife-chasing crematorium!
……
Yang Ye called Guan Zhilin's home, but no one answered. He made another call to the agency and said directly: "This is Yang Ye, help me check if Guan Zhilin has any announcement today!"
The other end said respectfully: "Mr. Yang, please wait a moment. !”
Yang Ye hummed and put down the phone. After a while, the person over there said: "Mr. Yang, Miss Guan is shooting an advertisement at Lishi today."
"What advertisement are you shooting for?"
"Fur advertisement."
"Got it!"
Yang Ye hung up the phone and muttered, The spicy guy next door couldn't be the fur merchant Peter Wen, right?
What a ghost, someone was trying to catch fish in my pond due to a moment of negligence.
Yang Ye couldn't sit still and quickly drove to Lishi.
……
Guan Zhilin is in a bad mood recently!
Some time ago, Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement was aroused, and the news said that she would marry Yang Ye.
Guan Zhilin was so angry that she burst into tears and announced her breakup with Yang Ye.
Actually, Guan Zhilin did not really want to break up. Otherwise, when Yang Ye personally admitted that both Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun were his women in Taiwan, Guan Zhilin should have broken up.
She was just angry for a moment!
Guan Zhilin fully thought that Yang Ye would come to coax her and beg her for forgiveness, and then she would...
But until she got up at noon the next day, she didn't even see Yang Ye's ghost.
Guan Zhilin was even more angry and went straight to the company, only to be told that Yang Ye was not in Hong Kong.
If you’re not in Hong Kong, where can you be? He must have gone to Tokyo to date that Japanese woman.
Guan Zhilin became even more angry and stomped home without eating dinner.
After sleeping for another day, I suddenly remembered something: "If I said I broke up with Brother Ye, he wouldn't take it seriously, would he? Then...my credit card?"
Guan Zhilin was startled and hurriedly ran east I came to the square and bought a bag. She does know that the wealth does not go to outsiders.
Swipe the card, hey, it still works. This made Guan Zhilin relieved.
After getting together with Yang Ye, she lived a life of buying whatever she wanted. If her credit card was frozen, she really didn't know what to do.
Now that the credit card has not been frozen, it means that Yang Ye did not take her breakup seriously.
Yang Ye personally admitted to Guan Zhilin that he was worth billions, and she really couldn't let go of such a rich and handsome boyfriend, who she had been secretly in love with since she was a child.
“They just said angry words and refused to coax me, and I don’t know where they died!”
Guan Zhilin returned dejectedly, carrying the newly bought bag. Home.
Two days later, Guan Zhilin suddenly became happy when she heard that Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun also broke up with Yang Ye.
This is a good thing! There are fewer love rivals!
It's best if they all break up, and Brother Ye belongs to me alone!
As a result, Guan Zhilin immediately changed into a different person, and she took all notices received by her agency seriously.
The manager of the agency, Chen Ziqiang, was shocked: "Why did this aunt suddenly work hard?"
......
LiTV studio!
Guan Zhilin worked with the photographer for a long time to shoot the advertisement and finally completed it.
“It’s so hot!”
Guan Zhilin fanned herself with her hands and took off the furry thing on her body.
A man beside her quickly came over, held her shoulders, and said with a smile: "This dress looks very beautiful on Miss Guan, why don't I give it to you!"
< br>This guy is Wen Peter. In addition to being in the fur business, he is also interested in acting. He is an actor in Lishi.
"Take your hands away!"
