Liu Weiqiang said with embarrassment: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. I have been thinking about it for a long time. If we adopt the comic style, it will not be possible to take into account the market at this time. There is still a considerable number of viewers who like it.
For those who watch old-fashioned martial arts movies, if there are too many changes, then under such a situation, it is possible to lose this part of the market.
But if we follow the cartoon completely, then we really don’t know if young people will buy it."
This is what Liu Weiqiang is worried about. Although he filmed "The Hero of the Storm" to save the market, it is really hard to say whether the audience will buy it if the style of the martial arts film changes too much.
He cannot afford to take this risk. The greater the change, the greater the risk.
Ye Ming stood up at this time and said: "Director, I think that since we are shooting this matter under the banner of change, if there is no change at all and it is the same as the old martial arts movies, then it will be pointless to shoot.
It goes against our original intention. Moreover, the comic has been changed to an old martial arts film model. To be honest, people like Cheng Long and Jet Li have shot old-fashioned martial arts films to the extreme. No matter how good I am, I can’t be more awesome.
Both of them."
Cheng Long and Jet Li are two superstars. Li Xiaolong allowed the world to truly see what Chinese martial arts is, while Cheng Long and Jet Li really promoted Kung Fu movies.
No matter how powerful Liu Weiqiang is, he will not be arrogant enough to challenge Cheng Long and Jet Li.'
Therefore, at this time, Liu Weiqiang nodded and said: "I have also considered this issue, but as for the box office, if the audience does not accept the change, the box office will be very bleak."
The box office is an issue that the director has to worry about, because the box office of the director's film is related to whether anyone will hire him for the next film.
At this time, Huang Qiusheng said without politeness at all: "Today's young people just rely on their aggressiveness and think that they are always right. Change is not that easy. Ye Ming, you know what change means."
What are you doing? It could be that you are a total loser. You don’t understand the Hong Kong market at all. If Director Liu fails this time, then at a time like this, no one will ask him to film next time.
.So many seniors didn’t say anything, why are you, a newcomer, talking so much nonsense?”
It can be said that for almost everyone present, anyone with more qualifications than Ye Ming. When the director asked, their seniors did not answer, but Ye Ming answered in advance. At this time, Huang Qiusheng was very impressed.
It's not pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, Huang Qiusheng simply made it clear.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "I believe the director thinks the same way. If Director Liu wanted to shoot an old-style movie, he wouldn't be so hesitant. There are many ready-made routines, so you can just do whatever you want.
There is no problem in finding one. But the director is hesitant, which means that the director wants to change the style. Comics change movies, and we are setting a precedent. In the past, no one thought that ** movies could be possible.
It was shot like that, but Director Liu was not equally successful. I believe the same is true for Kung Fu School."
Huang Qiusheng glanced at Ye Ming disdainfully and said, "Young man, you are too self-righteous. Can you figure out the director's ideas?"
At this time, Liu Weiqiang waved his hand and said: "Don't argue on this issue. Kung fu movies should be more cautious, but since we are going to film Fengyun, we will film it according to the style of Fengyun's comics. I hope everyone will work hard to make this movie
The movie can be shot well. Come here and show them your style."
At this time, Huang Qiusheng was a little unable to get off the stage. If the director acted like this, he would naturally support Ye Ming's idea, which meant that the director really wanted to change the style of Kung Fu movies.
At this time, Huang Qiusheng was always worried that if he did this, he would not be able to succeed.
Zheng Yijian's photos are okay. Although the style is a bit cartoony, it looks like he has long flowing hair, which is very consistent with Zheng Yijian's style.
But in a situation like this, look at Bu Jingyun played by Guo Fucheng. This good guy, with purple hair, looks completely like a foreigner. This is not what a kung fu movie should be at all. This is completely subversive.
Performed.
You know, although in Young and Dangerous it is said that dyeing one's hair is nothing, there is nothing wrong with those little gangsters dyeing their hair into colorful peacocks. That is just for the street, and it is in line with reality.
However, in this Kung Fu movie, Bu Jingyun looks like a gangster. Is this worthy of his status as a king?
At this time, Guo Fucheng was a little unhappy. His face suddenly changed and he said: "Director, what's going on? Purple hair, are we filming a movie about martial arts, or a kung fu movie? It's actually...
With this look, are you sure you are not shooting the sixth part of Young and Dangerous?"
This simply subverts Guo Fucheng's outlook on life. A character with purple hair appears in a kung fu movie. Is this bullying him because Guo Tianwang has never seen the world?
At this time, Zheng Yijian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately choked out: "As an actor, you just have to take care of your own job. Styling and other things are the director and stylist's business. Everyone has to do it."
If you say three or four things about your appearance, then the movie will not be made."
Naturally, I said this to everyone, and of course mainly to Guo Fucheng. The battle between the two kings officially began at this moment.
As Liu Wei's favorite general, Zheng Yijian naturally said that he would support the director.
Facing the powerful Guo Fucheng, if Zheng Yijian said that he would not rope in the director, he would be at a huge disadvantage.
After all, in terms of qualifications and connections, there is actually no way to compare Zheng Yijian and Guo Fucheng.
By saying this, Zheng Yijian is actually trying to establish his authority as a director.
Liu Weiqiang did not back down and said: "This is what comics are all about. Bu Jingyun with blue hair, why do you have to worry about such a trivial matter?"
Unexpectedly, the director would not give him any face. Guo Fucheng immediately became angry and stood up and said: "I'm sorry, I have to be responsible for my fans. The contract said there is no such stipulation. Moreover, in the original comic, Bu Jingyun's
The hair should be black, similar to the style of open braids in the Qing Dynasty. Sorry, I have some things to do, so I have to take a step forward. If you have any questions, please contact my agent."
He left as soon as he said so. Guo Fucheng left very simply. This is the right of a big-name star. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Guo Fucheng has the qualifications to protect his own rights.
Moreover, as an idol singer, he naturally has to take care of the feelings of his fans. If he plays a comic character, it can be said to be an attempt. However, if he is to play a comic image that he thinks is nondescript, at least
From the looks of it, Guofucheng is quite risky.
It was a bad breakup, it was a completely bad breakup, and it was a slap in the face to the director.
The crew is like this. They all hope to have big-name stars to participate. However, if a big-name star can't even control the director's ability, then this drama will be difficult to say.
Obviously, although Liu Weiqiang has been in the circle for more than a day or two, it is still not easy to suppress Guo Fucheng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Seeing this situation, Liu Weiqiang knew that nothing could be done. With a livid face, he waved his hands and said: "Let's break up. This is the end of the stills. I'll stop talking nonsense. If any of you talk nonsense on this statue again,
Don't blame me for being rude and leaving early. You don't want to perform. Some people are lining up waiting for the performance."
Among the remaining people, Zheng Yijian will have no problem, and his love will definitely be on his side. As for Huang Qiusheng, we have an old relationship, and we have discussed this issue with him long ago.
Moreover, Huang Qiusheng once pointed out that Guo Fucheng might have objections to this style. However, Liu Weiqiang believed that since it was changed from comics and there is no fixed style, then at this time, if it is a little exaggerated,
That's no big deal.
In the end, something big happened.
Guo Fucheng left without giving any face.
Wang Zhiwen has not said a word from the beginning to now, and Xu Jinglei is naturally watching the fun. She knows that Wang Zhiwen, as an old senior, has not spoken, so she is not willing to talk.
At this time, after walking out, Xu Jinglei said: "Ye Ming, I don't have time. If you have time, let's sit down and have a cup of coffee with Teacher Wang."
Ye Ming nodded. He, Wang Zhiwen, and Xu Jinglei were all actors from the Mainland. Now that they were in the same crew, they naturally wanted to stick together. Otherwise, there would be no way to get along.
Wang Zhiwen, an absolutely capable actor, has a frosty face that makes people feel inaccessible.
He walked behind without saying a word, but you could feel the strong momentum and strong self-confidence of this man. Even when facing Guo Fucheng, he did not fall behind at all.
【Breaking Bad】 achieved Wang Zhiwen’s status as a first-line star. 【Breaking Fun】 was so popular that it could be said that it became a household name across the country overnight. It became a classic of that era.
This TV series also brought Wang Zhiwen the Feitian Award for Best Actor.
And "Royal City Roots" brought Wang Zhiwen the honor of Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Eagle Award.
A domestic first-line actor and one of the representatives of the acting school.
Ye Ming checked Wang Zhiwen's data and was shocked.
[Name, Wang Zhiwen, age: 32 years old, acting skills 980, popularity 990. Force value, 310, understanding, four stars,]
This is actor-level data. Such data is actually higher than Huang Qiusheng's, and his understanding is also far higher than Huang Qiusheng's.
No wonder Liu Weiqiang went to the capital in person to find Wang Zhiwen.
If Ge You can be said to be an endless river, the emotions, anger, sorrows, and joys are all given full play to the true nature of water, creating classic images of little characters one after another.
Wang Zhiwen was like a deep pool, bottomless, with an unfathomable depth. There was a vicissitude of years in his dark eyes. Wang Zhiwen had an innate cold temperament.
When he sat down to drink coffee, Wang Zhiwen said without courtesy: "Ye Ming, do you know that what you just did is actually very dangerous? This crew is not a united crew, but is divided into three.
There are two camps, one is directors Liu Weiqiang and Zheng Yijian, and the other camp is Guo Fucheng. Relatively speaking, Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian are actually at odds with each other. Even Shu Qi can see this clearly, but you rashly
It's too dangerous to get in. Guo Fucheng may not accept your favor, they don't need it, but you have definitely offended Zheng Yijian. Even if you are a supporting role, according to Zheng Yijian's character, this matter will never end."
As a veteran in the circle, although Wang Zhiwen didn't know why Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian were not compatible, he could see clearly that he could not step in. As long as it did not provoke his own interests, then Wang Zhiwen was
Too lazy to take care of these things.
The third camp of the crew is the middle camp, which includes Wang Zhiwen, Xu Jinglei and Shu Qi, and of course, Chiba Zhenyi, an Asian.
Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Wang, I also know this problem, because after taking this film, I also did some research on the original comic of [Feng Yun]. At that time, I just said it casually. Who knows?"
I offended Zheng Yijian.
In fact, from the news I got, the two people had nothing to do with each other originally, but they had a conflict over the singing of the theme song.
Why did Guo Fucheng get angry? In fact, the hair color issue was just an excuse for him to get angry. The real reason was the issue of who would sing the theme song."
Xu Jinglei had no idea that there was such an inside story, and immediately said without hesitation: "What is there to hesitate about? For such a thing, it is natural to invite Guo Fucheng to sing "The Four Heavenly Kings" and "The Influence"
Better than Zheng Yijian."
From Xu Jinglei's point of view, although Zheng Yijian is a rising star and his career can be said to be at its peak now, no matter how he looks, he can't compare to Guo Fucheng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who has been famous for a long time.
Xu Jinglei now also has a very intellectual beauty.
It was a female college student holding a thick book who walked out under the street lights at dusk, with her long flowing hair blown by the night wind, and on the tree-lined path as cool as water at night.
Shining like a school belle.
That kind of smile, with the sweetness of your deskmate, makes people remember it for a long time and make the green years unforgettable.
In fact, Liu Weiqiang did not need to hesitate at all.
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can't say it like this. Originally, Zheng Yijian was scheduled to sing the theme song, but then Guo Fucheng was hired to be another leading actor. At this time, Guo
Fucheng also expressed interest in singing the theme song. Zheng Yijian signed the contract, but as Guo Fucheng is a king and a big-name star, he said it would be a bit inappropriate if he didn't agree.
Moreover, from the perspective of the investors and the director, it seems that if Guo Fucheng is invited to sing the lead vocal, it may be able to increase the box office.
Therefore, the thing is that I hesitated because of this.
In fact, at this time, Wang Zhiwen and Xu Jinglei heard this kind of secret for the first time, and they immediately fell into deep thought. This was a battle between two kings. They both knew very well that if this problem cannot be solved, the drama will end.
I wanted to take pictures peacefully.
At this moment, Liu Weiqiang said angrily: "What kind of thing do you think this is? You have obviously signed a contract, but you dare to let me go. What is the problem of hair color? What kind of problem is this? The issue of styling is simply an excuse."
, Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong were made like that when they were filming [East and West], and they didn't hear what others said. Could it be said that Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong are not as good as Guo Fucheng?"
Naturally, these three people should be on the same level. In terms of artistic achievements, Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong should be higher than Guo Fucheng.
However, the director of "East Comes West" is Liu Zhenwei. It is easy to say that this director may not be as big a name as the current Liu Weiqiang. However, the producer of "East Comes West" is the famous Wong Jiawei, so,
Even the two big names, Jacky Cheung and Leslie Cheung, will do what the director asks.
Huang Qiusheng did not leave at all. He waved his hand and said: "What color is your hair? That's just an excuse. It's not that I want to sing the theme song, but I have already signed a contract with Zheng Yijian. If you want to change it, you can't change it."
How easy it is. Some people just want to bully the juniors just because they are famous, but there is no other way. I think unless you change roles, you have to compromise."
At this moment, Liu Weiqiang said helplessly: "Do you think it's possible to change the role? Andy Lau doesn't have a schedule. Who will take over Kwok Fucheng's schedule? Moreover, this is also a candidate designated by the producer. If you want to change it, then
It's impossible. If there is really no other way, the only choice is to grievance Zheng Yijian, and the movie cannot be delayed any longer."
Huang Qiusheng took a puff of cigarette and said quite leisurely: "Director Liu, it's not me who said that, no one in this crew is a fuel-efficient lamp. Did you see that even the heroine Yang Gongru is kind to Shu Qi?"
They don’t get along, the two of them are scheming, and if this is not handled well, it will be a problem."
Liu Weiqiang thought for a while and said: "Shu Qi is the star signed by Brother Wen. Yang Gongru won't be stupid enough to offend Brother Wen, right?"
Huang Qiusheng snorted unceremoniously and said: "Brother Wen's status, generally speaking, stars like Yang Gongru would not dare to offend them casually, but don't forget, Yang Gongru's background is not small. Neither is she."
A fuel-efficient lamp.
Moreover, it’s not like you don’t know what kind of films Shu Qi made his career in. Is it possible for two people to get along with each other?”
