Chapter 240 For the sake of sacrifice

2004 passed by in a hurry, and 2005 is here.

At the turn of the year, there was not much movement in the domestic film industry. Because "A World Without Thieves", which was originally supposed to be released at the end of the year, was released a year earlier, and Feng Xiaogang was invited by Wu Xiang to be an art consultant.

Both of them were absent from the Lunar New Year holiday this year.

But your absence is your loss. There is never a shortage of movies during the Lunar New Year.

Star Master has released his new movie, "Kung Fu"!

This film is a work that Mr. Xing has been honing for three years. In every aspect, including the script and computer special effects, this film is a rare masterpiece among Mr. Xing's works. Moreover, Mr. Xing also learned from a mistake. This time he

No mistakes were made.

What's the error?

The problem is that it was submitted for review. The previous "Shaolin Soccer" was not released in the mainland because of errors in the review process. This caused this originally quite good movie to suffer a big loss at the box office.

Master Xing did not make a mistake this time, he did not dare to cut things off first and then tell the story later, he followed the steps step by step, so there was a drama that was screened simultaneously on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places.

Needless to say about the box office, "Kung Fu" was a hit, and it also made a new generation of star girl, Huang Shengyi popular!

"It's strange, why don't Wu Xiang and Feng Xiaogang come to the Lunar New Year stall this year?"

"Yes, there are no films of them. In previous years, didn't these two guys try to kill each other?"

"I heard that the two of them went to shoot a new movie. It seems like they are in love and killing each other."

"Holy shit! You're awesome upstairs, you're so well-informed, and you also have such a good word."

"If you ask me, I am afraid that Feng Xiaogang and Wu Xiang are afraid of Mr. Xing. This time Mr. Xing's movie "Kung Fu" is so great, so good, and so well-made. It must be the two of them who watch it and compare it.

But Mr. Xing went into hiding. He hid."

"This, no way, hiding, hiding, is it necessary? Movies make money anyway, and the two of them have never seen how to lose money when making a movie."

Regarding the absence of Wu Xiang and Feng Xiaogang, there are some speculations on the Internet. Fortunately, Wu Xiang does not have time to surf the Internet now. He is currently working on his own script and has finally finalized the final storyline.

On January 5, 2005, at the 307 temporary office in Beijing, Wu Xiang summoned all the stars and staff who were preparing to star in his new film.

"Let me tell you the outline of the story first." Wu Xiang stood in front of a white board. The back had been painted messily with colored pens.

Those present included the main actors, Li Youbin, He Zhengjun, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Chef Fan, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Guoqiang, Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Li Chen, Xing Jiadong, Chen Sicheng, Wang Xiaoyi, Huang Danbo, Deng Xiang, Zhang Hanyu...

The other is the 307 crew. Photographer Ning Hao, artist Hao Yi, props Wang Hongzhi... and Lan Xiaolong and Feng Xiaogang.

Anyway, everyone who could come came, and they all came to hear how this guy Wu Xiang made up his story.

"The story has one main line, which is also a bright line. That is our male lead, named Li Yu. I plan to let Huang Bo play this role. He is more suitable for this role."

"Ah? Me?!" Huang Bo is really not worthy. He can actually be the leading male lead in such a big drama and among so many famous male stars. He now looks completely stupid.

.

"..." Many people also cast complex glances at Huang Bo. They had different thoughts, but most of them were of the same kind.

"Who is this Huang Bo?"

"Did Wu Xiang let him play the role just because he had a good relationship with Wu Xiang?"

"Can this kid know how to act?"

The above thoughts are actually very normal. It would be strange for people to think otherwise.

However, Wu Xiang's next words relieved everyone's doubts.

"Yes! It's you!" Wu Xiang emphasized Huang Bo's status as the leading actor, but he continued: "However, although you are the male lead, you are not the only male lead in this movie."

"Oh, so that's it."

"That's what happened..."

It seemed that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Huang Bo.

Wu Xiang wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he had better hurry up.

"Let me continue with the story. Li Yu is a soldier. Our story begins in a modern military camp. To put it simply, the old Li Yu returned to his army and told his story back then. This is the beginning.

And what is the story about Li Yu back then? This is actually a story about farming."

"Hahaha..." At this point, everyone except Wu Xiang laughed.

In fact, Wu Xiang also wanted to laugh, but that's not the case here. "Be serious, we are robbing here."

"Hahahaha..." This guy made another joke. The atmosphere was too lively.

"Okay, okay, just laugh it off. This story is really about farming." Wu Xiang became serious this time, "The three major battles have been fought, the river has been crossed, and the whole country has been liberated. But at this time

, as a soldier, Li Yu is ready to go home and farm. But first, he helps others farm. That is to say, in history, before the 38th Army went to North Korea, they farmed in Henan and the army was stationed. Here

There are some little stories, all about peace, we don’t have to fight anymore, we can develop and build our own homeland.”

"..." The beginning of this story was quite ordinary, but this time no one made any noise.

Wu Xiang turned to the whiteboard, pointed to a line on it and continued: "This is Li Yu's character. He is simple and a farmer at heart. But when someone violates the peace, he will not hesitate to pick up a gun.

, to protect the homeland and the country. So, the Americans came, and Li Yu and his comrades stopped farming and became volunteers and went to the Korean Peninsula."

"How to do this middle section? Use historical data?" Feng Xiaogang asked a question.

"Of course." Wu Xiang replied, this place must use historical data, otherwise how to take pictures of the 'Fushan Defense Line' back then, and how to take pictures of the 'REN Chuan Landing' that MacArthur was proud of?

In fact, the most important thing is that I don't have money, so I can't do such a big deal. However, since Director Feng is here, I just want to see how you, Wu Xiang, can use this information.

Wu Xiang continued: "Using historical data, that is, showing movies to the soldiers, and then saying some slogans, which is mobilization before the war."

It's simple, nothing special, but this method is very good. It introduces the historical background and historical facts at that time without leaving any trace. Many people use narration or subtitles in such a small place, but Wu

Xiang's method this time was much more clever.

"..." Feng Xiaogang had nothing to say. He actually had this idea too. Wu Xiang's answer was impeccable.

Wu Xiang continued his story, "After arriving in North Korea, I mainly filmed three battles. This first time was the 'first battle'. In this battle, the 38th Army actually did not fight well because it was too cautious before.

. Delayed the fighter opportunity, causing a black regiment with average combat effectiveness to escape. This made Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, very embarrassed in front of President Peng. It should be said that he was scolded bloody by President Peng."

"..." No one spoke this time.

"As for the second battle, it was the Feihushan Blockade, which was the famous battle of the 335th Regiment of the 2nd Division. Of course, we won't give the number in detail, as long as the battle is filmed. That's right.

I think Fan Tianen, the leader of the group, should be played by Sun Honglei. You can do it. It’s good.” After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Sun Honglei.

"Is this, is this an important role?" Sun Honglei felt a little deceived. During the military training, didn't Wu Xiang tell him a good role before? But as a regiment leader, can this regiment leader excel? The male protagonist

He is a soldier, so shouldn’t this story revolve around the male protagonist? How far is the regiment leader from the soldier?

"It's an important role, you believe me." Wu Xiang showed a smile. Then he continued: "The Feihushan blockade was good, but the 335th regiment was just a bait, so this is just a part of our movie.

The middle part is just the climax, and then comes the most important part of the whole movie. It is also the highest point, the blocking battle at Songgu Peak!"

Having said this, everyone understands that this is the plot of "Who is the Cutest Person", and Wu Xiang's story is actually adapted around this article. For example, Li Yu should be Li Yu'an, he

He was a surviving warrior back then.

"The blocking battle at Songgu Peak was finally over, and only 7 soldiers survived. 3 of them were counted at the time, and the other 4 were not killed until later. Li Yu was one of them. He later returned to China

He kept his name anonymously and was not treated as a combat hero. He was just an ordinary disabled veteran. In other words, he could finally farm the land with peace of mind. And the scene in the modern military camp at the beginning was why he, Li Yu, wanted to

What about returning to his old army? Because he hopes that his youngest son can join the army and join his old army. The whole story is like this."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, everyone entered into a thinking process.

"Then you just said that Huang Bo is not the only male lead, but there are others..."

Wu Xiang knew there would be this problem. He smiled and said: "It's very simple. Li Yu is just a bright line, and the other characters are actually important. Although the story does not happen around them, I will let all the viewers

Remember them all, remember the roles you played."

"You mean, these people we played are all Li Yu's comrades?" Huang Yanbo raised his hand and spoke.

"Hahaha..." In fact, everyone heard it.

"That's right!" Wu Xiang replied with a smile, "But I can tell you that the characters you play should make people feel better and better than the character Li Yu."

"Xiangzi, why?" Huang Yanbo didn't understand.

Wu Xiang still smiled and replied: "Because most of you people will die heroically!"
