391. Preparing for the film
Su Butong asked Chu Xingyun to have a good rest and continued to prepare the script.
The script this time was not written based on "Drunken Master 1", but the "Drunken Master 2" that shocked the whole world.
The director of Drunken Master 2, Liu Jialiang, his father learned from Wong Fei Hung’s apprentice “Pork Wing”, and Liu Jialiang is the orthodox direct descendant of the Southern Kung Fu Hong Family Quan.
Therefore, the martial arts scenes in it include the techniques of Nanquan.
But it is a pity that this masterpiece was ultimately rejected by director Liu Jialiang due to differences in action design concepts between Liu Jiaban and Long Jiaban.
It even made the last seven minutes of the movie difficult to complete, and it took three months to complete the last seven minutes of the fight scene.
It's all because Long Boy wants to maintain the style of "kung fu comedy".
Liu Jialiang wanted to show the strength of Hong Quan in the movie, and said: "If one hundred thousand Hong Quan disciples saw Huang Feihong like this, they would definitely laugh to death."
A good general who has not met a good talent laments that his daughter-in-law married by mistake and his pearl is covered in dust.
Even so, it still cannot conceal the brilliance of this movie.
And this is also the "Once Upon a Time" movie most recognized by foreigners.
In the early 21st century, it was named one of the "Top 100 Movies in Global History" by Time Magazine. The other shortlisters were Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Wong Jiawei's "Chungking Express", and Hu Jinquan's "The Heroine".
The key to this drama is not only the knowledgeable director, but also the excellent textual content.
Therefore, Su Butong wants to structure this text well so that the audience can see a different kind of Huang Feihong, a story of fighting against invaders and protecting Chinese cultural relics.
In Su Butong's writing, the memory of watching the video tape as a child and the story of watching the Blu-ray disc overlap one by one, and then the characters are reborn and entangled in his writing.
The text of Drunken Master 2 was excellent enough, so he advanced most of the script overnight, reaching the turning point in the third act.
The story begins with a turning point, which is the beginning of the inner change of the protagonist Huang Feihong.
Maybe he didn't understand what national justice was at first, but when he was bullied by foreigners, the pride and backbone of Chinese men since ancient times made him dare to fight against the invaders.
This is the spirit of resistance that China has had since ancient times, and it has always been in the blood.
Sun Fuhu is well versed in Chinese and Western culture. He said: "Chinese people have had a spirit of struggle since ancient times. Westerners' scriptures write about floods, so God asked Noah to build an ark and take the animals to escape, but the Chinese people asked Dayu to control the flood.
To subdue the water; Westerners worshiped Poseidon, the god of the sea, but after their elves died, they still determined to fill the sea with stones and fight with the sea; Westerners worshiped Apollo, the god of the sun, but when they saw that the sun in the sky was too hot, they wanted to
When the sun shoots down, there are two mountains in front of them. It is inconvenient to travel. According to Westerners' habits, they move away, but we Chinese people have to dig mountains for generations until they are flattened... The spirit of resistance of the Chinese people is to fight against
It is innate, while the West only teaches people to obey the arrangements of God and fate."
It hits the nail on the head. No one has ever said this. They only talk about the bad habits of the Chinese people since ancient times, but they fail to see that the reason why the Chinese civilization has been preserved is because the Chinese people do not believe in evil in their bones.
Su Butong became more and more energetic as he wrote. In the middle of the night, a fragrant wind suddenly hugged him from behind. He put down his pen, held on to the catkins, and felt the spectacular scene on the beauty's chest.
"Thank you for your hard work. Why are you back? There are so many things to deal with. Are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?" he said with a bad smile.
"Same, didn't you work overtime until now?" She shook her head and kissed his earrings. "Did you miss me?"
When a man and a woman are passionately in love, even a moment of separation feels too long.
He gently pulled her into his arms and held her against his chest like he was holding the moon.
She sat on her knees, then gently closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was longing for something.
Su Butong felt hot all over and kissed her slowly.
She put her index finger against his chin like a mischief, and then chuckled: "I don't want the king to miss the morning. I'm going to take a shower now, and I have to go to work tomorrow. When do you want to do it?"
Su Butong looked at the manuscript paper in front of him and said with a wry smile: "The manuscript will be due tomorrow, probably around four or five in the morning."
"Then I won't accompany you." She kissed his forehead and prepared to leave.
"Half an hour should be enough." He pressed her on his knees domineeringly, and then greedily smelled the delicious fragrance emanating from every inch of her skin.
With a cry of surprise, the ground shook.
For a long time, she was as charming as silk on the bed, and this picture was particularly eye-catching.
"I still want it."
As if he heard the charge, he patted her plump buttocks, and then launched charges again and again.
Finally, she couldn't stand the torture anymore and begged for mercy. Then he put on the pajamas she prepared for him and went back to his desk to write.
After exercise, my mind is particularly clear.
Some scenes that were originally difficult to write turned out to be extremely smooth.
More than 20,000 words were written in one night.
I fell asleep and when I woke up it was already noon.
She ordered brunch, placed it on the dining table, and placed a thoughtful note: "Drink some soup to replenish your health, I'll wait for you in the evening." The signature on the back was a portrait of a shy little girl.
He immediately smiled bitterly, knowing that there is no land that has not been plowed, only cows that have died from exhaustion.
Wang Yue came as promised, and Su Butong handed him a thick stack of manuscript paper.
Wang Yue read it very carefully, lowering his head and reading every sentence.
He read it for more than forty minutes before finishing more than 20,000 words.
"Bu Dong, you are really a great talent. You came up with such a book with both talent and talent in one night. I am really convinced." As a writer, Wang Yue has always had a very high aesthetic vision. He also knows the language of literature and movies.
The languages are different.
But Su Butong's script really surprised him.
It's as enjoyable as watching a movie.
But when work starts tomorrow, there are still many problems.
"Bu Dong, we haven't chosen a location for the movie... so the location is a big problem. The director has not been decided, and the main actors in it have not been decided..." Wang Yue got a headache when he thought about this.
Su Butong smiled and said, "I know you are very busy, so I have already called Mr. Shao Liu, and we will treat him to a meal later."
"Ah?" Wang Yue has never been able to figure out the relationship between Su Butong and Shaw Brothers, and why the big bosses in the Hong Kong film and television industry are selling his face so much.
"You are too..." Wang Yue couldn't find the right words to describe. What is too much? Too powerful? Too domineering? Only those who know the basics know that this guy is a Chinese from Japan. It doesn't matter if he is a bully in Beijing, but why in Xiangjiang?
Is it the same as going flat?
"Do you think others gave me face in vain? I have to pay back the face in the future!" Su Butong couldn't explain too much. After all, he didn't want Wang Yue to get involved in too many Hongmen affairs.
If Shaw Brothers had the resources, this movie would actually have a better start.
The two people summed it up and listed the resources they needed urgently.
Director, location, actors.
Director Su Butong still prefers Liu Jialiang.
