I really don't want to be in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 232 Kung Fu Emperor

...

From the late 40s, martial arts films in Huaguo began to revive.

In 1949, the famous director Hu Peng filmed the first film featuring Huang Feihong, a legendary folk martial arts figure, as the main character - "Huang Feihong".

In the following decades, Huang Feihong became a famous brand of martial arts films in Huaguo. More than a dozen movie stars have played the role of Huang Feihong in nearly a hundred movies and TV dramas with such themes, and many famous directors have filmed this theme.

Ordinarily, there is no need for Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang to fry a cold meal that has been fried for countless times. Even if they are fried, there is no need to go bankrupt and throw everything in it.

But Xu Wenguang had planned to make a "Huang Feihong" a long time ago - Xu Wenguang had already started to conceive "Huang Feihong" about ten years ago. He really wanted to bring the character of Huang Feihong back to the big screen, but unfortunately Xu Wenguang has been struggling to find a suitable actor, so the plan has not been implemented.

At that time, Xu Wenguang wanted to find an actor with particularly good kung fu to act, and his temperament must also conform to Xu Wenguang's ideas.

Not long ago, Xu Wenguang saw Xu Kai's performance in "Escape" and felt that Xu Kai's image was very close to Huang Feihong in his mind.

At this time, Yuan Xiaoliang was also seeking the opportunity to be a director, and the leading actor Yuan Xiaoliang chose was also Xu Kai.

For this reason, Yuan Xiaoliang even threw all his net worth into it.

Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang were old friends, so Xu Wenguang found Yuan Xiaoliang and told Yuan Xiaoliang what he thought.

As a result, the two hit it off.

Next, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang found the most important person, that is, Xu Kai, and then they persuaded Xu Kai by relying on the good relationship between Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Kai.

After that, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang persuaded Zhu Bing to play the role of Aunt Thirteen.

Not only that, Xu Wenguang also persuaded Zhang You, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to play Ya Casu, Golden Statue actor Zheng Mao to play Zhu Rong, martial arts star Xia Lingzhen to play Liang Kuan, and found the famous martial arts master Ren Xiaoguan to play the villain.

As far as the cast of "The Grand Master" is concerned, it can be described as extremely luxurious.

From this, it is not difficult to see the ambitious ambitions of Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang.

but--

Corresponding to this luxurious cast, the cost of "The Grand Master" is really high.

Not to mention others, only Xu Kai's salary, and only the early payment to Xu Kai, was as high as 500 million.

In this regard, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang are actually under a lot of pressure.

Yes.

Both Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang were very optimistic about Xu Kai, and felt that Huang Feihong could only be played by Xu Kai, but when they signed Xu Kai, to be honest, Xu Kai's worth was really not worth so much.

This caused the other two shareholders of "The Grand Master" to complain at the time, and even almost withdrew their capital.

fortunately!

"Ten Miles of Foreign Trade" was a big hit, Xu Kai became popular, his net worth soared, and he even became one of the top superstars in China.

In this way, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang, who signed Xu Kai with only 1500 million plus 20% of the producer's shares, definitely got a big deal.

This made the two shareholders like ducks with their necks pinched, and they no longer dared to disturb Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang's filming of "The Grand Master".

……

"The Master" crew.

Xu Kai showed his style of master with every gesture - under the direction of Yuan Xiaoliang, Xu Kai fully demonstrated his extraordinary martial arts attainments.

Xu Kai's kung fu, long bridge and big horse, flips and jumps, and his moves are stretched and beautiful. In shaping the character of the character, it can also show the calm and sophisticated temperament.

To paraphrase Yuan Xiaoliang’s words: “Of the many action actors I have worked with, I think Yu Qingyun is the one who can play the best. Yu Qingyun has a deep foundation in martial arts, and he knows too many martial arts. , No matter what school, what kind of kung fu, what kind of weapon, even if he doesn't know it, he definitely understands it. One, no one can compare, definitely the Kung Fu Emperor who is rare in a hundred years."

With Xu Kai's kung fu as the foundation, the image of Huang Feihong's master has come to life.

However, Xu Kai is not only superb in martial arts, but also has superb acting skills.

Under Xu Wenguang's suggestion, Xu Kai absorbed the strengths of Huang Feihong portrayed by the older generation of actors, and emphasized on the performance of Huang Feihong's bearing and demeanor as a generation of martial arts masters. At the same time, he successfully portrayed Huang Feihong's era of collision between Chinese and Western civilizations. The ambivalence in which inferiority complex and pride are constantly entangled.

Compared with the Huang Feihong portrayed by the older generation of actors, the Huang Feihong portrayed by Xu Kai is more internalized, richer in emotion, and has more demeanor of the king. Through his eyes that penetrate the depths of the soul, it reflects the national crisis At the head, the integrity of this national hero.

Moreover, unlike the previous Huang Feihong, Xu Wenguang added a lot of delicate and touching feelings between men and women to "The Grand Master".

Under the guidance of Xu Wenguang, in dealing with the emotional context between Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt, Xu Kai played the role very delicately. On the one hand, he is always protecting Zhu Bing and is the perfect hero in Zhu Bing's mind. On the other hand, Zhu Bing was an enlightener to him. It was precisely because she brought advanced civilization from the outside world that Xu Kai began to seriously think about how to face and learn from the surging Western civilization. The problem of civilization makes Huang Feihong played by Xu Kai extra vivid and more humane.

Of course, this is also because the relationship between Xu Kai and Zhu Bing is really similar to the relationship between Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt, and the two acted without any pressure.

In addition to his superior ability and superb acting skills, Xu Kai's attitude is also very correct.

Because Xu Kai is going to shoot "Hunt", Xu Kai actually needs to have hair.

Moreover, Xu Kai has many other things that require the image of Yushu Linfeng.

Yang Xinchun therefore suggested that Xu Kai wear a headgear to play Huang Feihong.

But Xu Kai said, "It's too fake to wear a headgear in "The Grand Master", let's wear a headgear in "Manhunt"", so he resolutely asked the stylist to shave his hair.

Not only that, Xu Kai didn't use numbers to deal with the crew like other actors rushing to the scene. Instead, he acted in full lines every time, and he was able to do a good line of words.

In addition, Xu Kai never put on the airs of a superstar, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang asked Xu Kai to act, and Xu Kai acted as he wanted.

Even if Xu Kai had any ideas, he would fully communicate with Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang.

If everyone disagrees, Xu Kai will make certain compromises and concessions.

All in all, Xu Kai's performance satisfied Xu Wenguang, who was cooperating with Xu Kai for the first time, and also made Yuan Xiaoliang, who strongly recommended Xu Kai not to cooperate with Xu Kai, very relieved. The three of them cooperated very happily.

On this basis, the filming of "The Grand Master" went smoothly and quickly...
