Liu Gangsheng is a senior in the entertainment industry, and Lu Chen is a rising star. Their appreciation and respect for each other make the two become true friends, and cooperation between friends is often pleasant and enjoyable.
Lu Chen agreed to serve as a judge for "Xiangjiang New Singing" and will also write a promotional theme song for this music talent show, specially freeing up the schedule in April and May next year.
In return, Liu Gangsheng took the initiative to ask for a cameo role in "The Swordsman" which will be filmed at the end of the year!
Since "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has a box office of over 1 billion, is a successful example, after Chenfei Media previously revealed the news that it would adapt and shoot the movie "The Swordsman", numerous entertainment companies and artists came to seek cooperation.
For other artists, it is not easy to get a role in "The Swordsman", and it may not be possible to get a favor. But for Liu Gangsheng, he wants a role instead of giving a favor.
.
With this well-known king in the Chinese speaking circle joining the cast, "The Swordsman" will have a box office foundation not only in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in the entire Southeast Asia region!
"I hope this character has enough fighting scenes..."
Liu Gangsheng excitedly clenched his fists and gestured a few times: "It's what foreigners call chine-kongfu. I think you will incorporate real kung fu into this movie, right?"
The term chinese kongfu was coined by Lu Chen, and along with the video of his fight in the ud725 flight incident, it has already spread throughout the world, including of course Xiangjiang.
In fact, Hong Kong also made martial arts fighting films in the 1970s and 1980s, but they did not become popular and were later replaced by Hollywood action films.
However, there is a market for traditional martial arts in Hong Kong. A few decades ago, there were many martial arts schools on Hong Kong Island, which taught apprentices martial arts such as southern boxing and northern kicking, swords, guns, swords and sticks passed down from ancient times, as well as physical fitness and performance.
However, nowadays these martial arts gyms have basically been replaced by Taekwondo, Judo, boxing, and free fighting gyms. Traditional martial arts are no longer loved by young people because they are known as fancy fists and embroidered legs.
The same situation also occurs in the mainland.
However, the Chinese kongfu that Lu Chen showed to the world is eye-catching. Not only is it highly practical, but its movements are sharp and fast, and it also has a powerful sense of violent beauty.
Liu Gangsheng could see at a glance the role that china can play in movies. He believed that Lu Chen would definitely bring china into the martial arts movie "The Swordsman".
In fact, the prototype of kung fu action can already be seen in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but it was overshadowed by more exciting ghost stories and magic special effects.
"The Swordsman" is a pure martial arts movie!
Liu Gangsheng plays the role in "The Swordsman". He doesn't just want to show his face and name, but also hopes to use this opportunity to expand new acting directions and create a different image from the past!
"Yes…"
Lu Chen instantly understood Liu Gangsheng's thoughts and intentions, and his eyes lit up involuntarily: "Brother Sheng, you have many roles to choose from, but I'm afraid it will take a period of training."
Martial arts and kung fu movies are not something you can shoot just because you want to. Even if you use a martial arts stand-in, you must first master some basic routines, otherwise the filmed thing will be very problematic.
Liu Gangsheng smiled and said: "That's no problem. I usually exercise and I'm not afraid of hardship."
Practicing martial arts is very tiring and torturous, especially if you want to master the real skills, it is obviously impossible without hard work. Liu Gangsheng undoubtedly wants to challenge himself.
Although he is already over fifty years old!
The more the two chatted, the more in-depth the conversation became, and the topic gradually shifted to "Swordsman".
This movie adapted from the best-selling martial arts novel is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Lu Chen, because he does not plan to film based on the movie of the same name in his memory, but to rewrite the script and make a real martial arts blockbuster.
Come!
By then, Lu Chen will be taking on multiple roles such as starring, screenwriter, soundtrack and action director. Mistakes in any aspect will have an impact on the filming of the film.
What's interesting is that Liu Gangsheng has actually read the novel "The Swordsman" and knows the characters in it very well, so he is completely prepared!
Lu Chen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Sheng, if you had a choice, which one would you choose?"
Originally, Lu Chen wanted to write the script and then send it to Liu Gangsheng for him to choose the roles. Now that he knew that Liu Gangsheng had read the original work, he simply proposed it directly.
Liu Gangsheng thought for a while and replied: "Liu Zhengfeng, and Xiang Wentian!"
Liu Zhengfeng and Xiang Wentian?
Lu Chen chewed on these two names silently, and had a vague idea in his heart.
"What are you two talking about?"
At this time, Lu Jingyi and Filia Chen came together, smiling like a pair of sisters.
Liu Gangsheng and Lu Chen looked at each other and smiled. Lu Chen said, "I'm talking about movies with Brother Sheng. Where should we all eat at noon?"
Filia Chen smiled and said: "Sister Shi Fang will cook by herself at noon, and Sister Jingyi will also cook a few dishes. I will help with the cooking. You two can continue chatting. I will call you when the table is served."
Liu Gangsheng high-fived and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten Linda's food. I'm so lucky today!"
Linda is Shi Fang's English name. Shi Fang's cooking skills are inherited from her family. She has been on a TV show before, but except for her best friends, it is extremely difficult for others to taste her cooking skills.
Liu Gangsheng said to Lu Chen: "You are really lucky!"
More than an hour later, Lu Chen also thought that he was really lucky. He did not expect that Shi Fang's cooking skills were so good. Although he could not compare with those top chefs, the several dishes he cooked carefully were delicious and delicious.
It was all-in-one, and the ingredients used were even more exquisite, which made him rave about it.
Shi Fang also brought a bottle of Mouton wine from the wine cellar, the 1993 vintage, for everyone to share.
This lunch was enjoyed by both host and guest.
In the afternoon, everyone sat in the garden and continued chatting, but the topic turned to the upcoming celebration party for the 50th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.
The singing program of Lu Chen and Filia Chen has been reported for a long time. It is a piece written by Lu Chen specifically for this grand celebration, and it is a group singing.
In addition to the two of them, Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang are also on the list of singers for the same song. The level of the singers is probably unprecedented. It is precisely because of this song that today's gathering of four people took place.
There will be a dress rehearsal for a party tomorrow, and they don't have much time left.
Because there were still things to deal with, Lu Chen and Filia Chen did not stay for dinner. Shi Fang asked his assistant to drive them back to their home in Repulse Bay——
