Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Three. [Hero confrontation]
Returning to Fantasy Entertainment Company, Yi Feiyang asked the female secretary to make him a cup of coffee, and then called the most trusted person around him, Fatty Gao Jiabao, and the company's vice president Dures, asking them to temporarily handle all the company's affairs.
I began to retreat to conceive the script of "Lust, Caution".
As a director and screenwriter, although Yi Feiyang has a "prophet" secret that others don't know, it is also very nerve-wracking when it comes to conceiving a script. Just imagine turning the images you have seen in your head into
Conceive the text into movie-style fragments, then divide these fragments into different numbers of sub-shots, and design the background, lines, character relationships, character conflicts, etc. This will be a very tedious task. But okay,
Yi Feiyang is already used to this kind of work, and he has already sketched out the general framework of "Lust, Caution" for a long time.
The main content of the story is that during World War II, France in Europe fell completely. A French intelligence elite named Jack surrendered to the German Nazis and became a traitor. He served as the vanguard of the German army and turned around to use his expertise to attack France.
The domestic underground resistance movement launched a frenzied sweep. Because Jack was familiar with the situation of the French Intelligence Agency and knew their combat strategies well, the French underground resistance movement was retreating steadily and suffered heavy casualties. In order to save the defeat, the French Intelligence Agency assigned a man named Ruth
The beautiful female spy wanted to get rid of him. Ruth used her beauty and coquettishness to attract Jack's attention. However, after dating Jack for a while, she discovered that this man had two completely different personalities. During the day, he was a calm person.
A quiet and efficient intelligence officer, he turned into a complete sadist at night. Ruth was treated indescribably. She became a dog, a prey, and a slave under his whip. Jack placed her under house arrest and even beat her to the ground.
Confess to her. This man with a split personality gradually made Ruth unable to extricate herself. She was even willing to lie under his whip and be his slave. Finally, in the last assassination, Ruth was completely lost.
Own……
One day, two days, three days... Yi Feiyang was completely immersed in this new drama he conceived.
What kept popping up in his mind were the feelings of Jack and Rose, a pair of evil men and women who were constantly fighting and quarreling with each other.
In fact, since the conception of this drama, Yi Feiyang has already thought of the two leading actors of this drama. The male protagonist "Jack" is Leonardo DiCaprio, and the female protagonist "Ruth" is
The choice is Kate Winslet!
That’s right, they were the pair who created “Titanic”!
Even their names haven't changed, they are still called "Jack" and "Ruth" in the play.
The bad guy Yi Feiyang will use this "Lust, Caution" to completely destroy the classic "Titanic" that Cameron carefully created!
However, Yi Feiyang is not sure whether these two actors will accept to star in such a movie. After all, the content of this movie is too explicit. But it doesn't matter, for Yi Feiyang, everything is possible, as long as he is willing
If you try hard to convince.
…
Leonardo is very famous in Hollywood now. He is famous because he once became famous and became a hot A-list actor in Hollywood today. But after all, "Titanic" is far away, and he cannot live in the role of "Jack" forever.
He was only in his early twenties when he filmed "Titans", but now he is in his thirties. He is much "older", to be precise, he is much more mature. So he wanted to transform, from an idol to a powerful actor, but
His wish failed, as his filming of "Gangs of New York" did not help him much.
So much so that many people began to say that he "will always be just a green apple" and can never replace a powerful actor like Tom Hanks.
Leonardo gave up on himself a little, and he began to fall crazily, dating supermodels, driving drunk, smoking marijuana... Negative news has been constant in recent times.
If you open major Hollywood newspapers and magazines, you will know all about his behavior and footprints. Because of this, Yi Feiyang easily found Leonardo sunbathing on a yacht on the beach.
Leonardo was lying on the yacht, with three hot bikini girls around him helping him apply sunscreen.
At this time, the motorboat that Yi Feiyang was riding on stopped at the edge of the yacht, and Yi Feiyang got on the boat.
Leonardo squinted his eyes, and the dazzling sunlight made it difficult for him to see Yi Feiyang's appearance. It wasn't until he saw it clearly that he screamed "Oh my God" and jumped up.
"God, why are you here?!" Leonardo respected and admired Yi Feiyang from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, Leonardo knew more about Yi Feiyang than anyone else. His mentor Martin Sixes could not help but tell him what kind of person Yi Feiyang was from time to time. Leonardo also found out about Yi Feiyang through various channels.
Lots of news flying.
Therefore, it can be said that in terms of filming, Yi Feiyang is definitely Leonardo's idol and the person he is most eager to cooperate with.
"Aren't you surprised, why did I come to you?" Yi Feiyang sat down with a smile and said straightforwardly without being verbose: "Because I hope you can star in another drama!"
"What. Is it true that you want me to act in your play? Oh, great, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Leonardo was extremely happy.
"Don't get too happy too early. Wait until you read the script!" Yi Feiyang poured cold water on him appropriately.
How could Leonardo think so much? He took over Yi Feiyang's script and started reading it.
Yi Feiyang was bored, so he started joking with the three bikini girls. The three hot girls didn't know who he was at first, but when they realized that he was the famous Chinese Yi, they were so excited that they almost jumped up.
"Dear Yi, do you think I have a chance to be an actor?"
"Do you think I'm suitable for filming your scene?"
"Let's see if I have a chance to play a supporting role or something!"
…
As long as they are girls, there is no one who does not like to dream of being a star. Moreover, for them, being able to meet this famous super director is a blessing in itself.
Leonardo reads the script very carefully. Unlike other stars, he likes to connect with himself when reading the script. He tries to get into the character and see if he feels it.
He was very confused after watching "Lust, Caution" because the role of the male protagonist Jack was too difficult to control and embody.
To be precise, Leonardo didn't have the confidence to play such a role. Especially when it came to split personality, he had never tried it. The scene where Yi Feiyang was worried about his naked body was just childish to him.
In fact, Leonardo really likes this kind of violent, erotic and challenging roles, such as the "Wolf of Wall Street" in which he starred in his previous life. The whole movie is full of erotic and foul language. Facing the camera
, Leonardo cursed more than 2,000 "s**ts". He even proudly told the reporter who interviewed him, "He did all the bed scenes in the movie himself, without using any substitutes!"
Therefore, the sexual part of the drama "Lust, Caution" is not too abrupt for him, and he can definitely accept it. And this is also the biggest difference between Western actors and Eastern actors, they are more relaxed. It is just about the character of the male protagonist.
, Leonardo felt challenged. He vowed to be a capable actor in the future, but he never thought that it would be so difficult to play a capable actor.
"Dear Yi, I'm afraid I can't simulate the complex split personality of Jack!" When Leonardo handed the script back to Yi Feiyang, he said honestly. "I just tried to play it in my mind.
It took a while, but the result was... God, it was so difficult!"
Of course, Yi Feiyang understands why Leonardo is distressed. You must know that when Tony Leung, the former Cannes best actor, starred in this film, he was also worried about how to interpret the role. He even suffered from insomnia and hair loss because of this role. Finally, it is said that the great director Li Jin
He used a very clever and strange method to remind him, and Wai Tsai suddenly realized that he had played the role of "Mr. Yi" well. However, afterwards, Tony Leung took a break for more than half a year after filming the film. The reason
It's because you are too addicted to the role and can't get out of it.
"In addition, dear Yi, I feel that I am not deep enough, especially not able to play such a deep Frenchman..." Leonardo continued.
"Oh no, in my opinion, it's just right for you to play this role now!" Yi Feiyang interrupted Leonardo and said, "I've watched "Gangs of New York" in which you starred. Since you can play an Irishman,
"It's so vivid, then I believe that you can also play the role of a Frenchman! In addition, the film was filmed in English and will be changed to French when it is released in Europe, so you don't have to worry about language."
"As for your fear of not being able to interpret the character of this character, then I can tell you that there are many things in this world that you need to try. If you don't try, you will never know whether it works or not."
Leonardo was deep in thought, then suddenly he raised his arms and shouted, "You're right, dear Yi, you won't know if it will work unless you try it, so I accepted this play!" After that,
Leonardo made a leap and jumped from the deck of the yacht into the water, causing a wave of waves!
…
Compared with the "difficulty" of persuading Leonardo to star in "Lust, Caution", it was much easier for Yi Feiyang to persuade Kate Winslet. This surprised Yi Feiyang. In Yi Feiyang's view, it should be more difficult for women than for men.
Accepting such an explicit pornographic film, Winslet's reaction was to directly tell Yi Feiyang that she liked the role of "Ruth" in it very much. She also told Yi Feiyang that she would work hard to play this role well.
This puzzled Yi Feiyang.
In fact, this is the biggest difference between American male and female actors!
If you study carefully, you will find that it is more difficult for actresses to become popular than for male actors in the United States, and it is even more difficult for them to become popular for a long time.
No matter how beautiful you are as a woman, you will eventually age one day. Once your beauty fades, who will remember you?!
In Hollywood, the United States, a place where actors are shuffled very quickly, male actors can become more and more mature, stable and masculine as they age, but women are forgotten as time goes by.
He even finally quit the entertainment industry.
Compared with Leonardo, Kate became famous with him through "Titanic" and became a big hit internationally. Yes, Kate had a lot of film appointments in those two years, but she chose to be cautious in accepting films, so that in those two years
In total, she only filmed one film, "The North African Lover". Unfortunately, this film was neither well-received nor popular, and it directly destroyed Kate's hard-earned fame.
At this time, Kate was anxious. In addition, coupled with the divorce incident in her private life, her personal image plummeted. In order to save her career, she even took over the filming of "Holy Smoke" with nude scenes.
This drama was filmed in a smoky, magical and weird setting. Kate plays an innocent girl who is trapped in an Indian cult. In order to save her, her family invited a highly qualified priest. Unexpectedly, the originally powerful priest was seduced in front of Kate.
, so that he lost his moral integrity and became her slave...
In this drama, the heroine played by Kate has a bold nude performance. Although there is only one performance, it is absolutely stunning. It directly recalls the shadow of Ruth in Titanic. It is a pity that the script of the whole drama is too monotonous and the content is too much.
It was boring, so much so that the whole scene was poorly shot, and Kate's beauty was completely wasted when she was revealed.
Now, after Kate read Yi Feiyang's "Lust, Caution" script, her first feeling was that the opportunity has come!
This is definitely a rare and great opportunity! Especially the heroine in it is simply the soul of the whole drama!
If you miss it, you won’t come again!
Kate, who had already let go and was ready to accept everything, agreed to Yi Feiyang without hesitation. Since it had been exposed in other dramas, why not in this drama?!
…
Inviting Kate to participate in "Lust, Caution" went so smoothly that Yi Feiyang even doubted whether it was true. But when Kate and her old friend Leonardo came to Fantasy Entertainment and formally signed a contract with Yi Feiyang,
Feiyangcai has finally confirmed that filming of "Lust, Caution" will really begin!
…
The extremely tense North American summer vacation has passed, and major film companies have taken stock of their gains and losses. Among them, some have made a lot of money, while others have lost everything.
But there is no way, movies are business, and this is how business is done, you either lose or make money.
In contrast, Fantasy Entertainment once again emerged as a dark horse in this rare summer vacation. The fast-food "I Am Legend" won a global box office of 880 million U.S. dollars, making many companies that cooperate with Fantasy Entertainment extremely happy.
The earring also makes many companies that are working against Fantasy Entertainment very angry.
These are nothing, those good guys, at this time, the great director Spielberg came out, saying that he was preparing to shoot an "artistic and appreciative" therapy movie called "The Terminal".
Starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks and actress Catherine Zeta Jones.
This film was produced by Spielberg's DreamWorks. Because Spielberg's directing ability was interfered by the producer in the last few films he shot, so this time he directly produced the film independently and served as the director.
That is to say, Spielberg went all out for this drama... Why did he do this? Those good people immediately found the answer. In order to defeat the magical Yang, China Yi!
The last battle between Spielberg and Yi Feiyang ended in a draw. This time, the great director Spiel must save face!
Media reporters wrote about this situation in a very heroic way, as if Spielberg was a Spartan warrior at Thermopylae who was bound to kill Yi Feiyang until his blood flowed like a river.
"The decisive battle between Spielberg and China's Yi is about to break out!"
"The last game was a draw, this time Spielberg vows to avenge the past!"
"Looking forward to the fact that China Yi has welcomed an old rival, and the contest between the two heroes will be exciting!"
…
The media's exaggeration, the gossip reporters' cheers, and provocative articles fearing chaos in the world have made Yi Feiyang the center of attention again.
Those guys in Hollywood who desperately want to make headlines are banging their heads against the wall again. How can they have a bad year and be beaten to the stage by Yi Feiyang at any time?
Faced with such a declaration of war and provocation.
Yi Feiyang remained silent,
Silence again.
In fact, during this period, Yi Feiyang was very low-key, writing scripts and selecting actors. Therefore, the outside world has become accustomed to this guy who constantly creates miracles and constantly exceeds people's expectations. When he stopped, everyone
Everyone has a thought: "Is China Yi timid?"...
Yes, as a director, how can he be constantly inspired and creative? After all, he is a human being, not a god. It is estimated that his inspiration has dried up, and he has no creative passion and motivation.
Let's talk about the Fantasy Entertainment Company led by Yi Feiyang. Although it has been developing well in recent years, it always gives people an unreal feeling because it is so good. It feels like this company is like a beautiful Babylon Garden, with castles in the air.
If not, it will collapse one day.
People say that the spiritual pillar of Fantasy Entertainment is Yi Feiyang. Yi Feiyang alone can support half of Fantasy Entertainment. If this god-like person falls into a creative crisis, will Fantasy Entertainment also be affected?
Moving forward becomes stagnant?
And just when everyone thought that Yi Feiyang had run out of inspiration, his creation was in crisis, and Fantasy Entertainment was about to face a development crisis, suddenly, Yi Feiyang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. To everyone's surprise, he actually announced an announcement that would surprise everyone.
Shocking news.
"Our company will hold a press conference for the new film on Wednesday, and all friends from the media are invited to come and give guidance..."
Many media have received invitations from Fantasy Entertainment, inviting them to attend a press conference to be held at the Hilton Hotel two days later. The content of the press conference is to announce Yi Feiyang's upcoming new film, but the content of the new film is
There was no mention of it in the invitation letter.?
All of a sudden, the media was in a frenzy. In this short period of time, Yi Feiyang, who claimed to be the "low-key emperor", paid no attention to outside rumors, let alone responded to them. These rumors became more and more outrageous, and some even said that he was suffering from depression.
, he was taking medication during this period, and there were even big revelations about the internal reform of Fantasy Entertainment and the change of top management. However, Yi Feiyang, the person involved, seemed to have disappeared. There was no news. No one knew what he was doing or what he wanted to do.
