My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 178 Liu Weiqiang's Movie Invitation
"Don't bring up the past, life has been full of storms..."

"Even though the memory can't be erased, love and hate are still in my heart..."

At a road show station, Chi Yu sang a song "When Love is a Past".

At the next stop, he sang about Concubine Yu from "Farewell My Concubine": "Since I fought with the king, I suffered from wind, frost and toil, year after year..."

"it is good!"

As soon as Peking Opera was sung, the audience below automatically started applauding.

At the next stop, Chi Yu read again: "The little nun is only twenty-eight years old, and she was just young, and her hair was cut by the master... I am a girl, not a man..."

"it is good!"

The audience found that Chi Yu's chanting was really interesting.

Of course, this does not affect, at the next stop, they asked Chi Yu to sing "A Dream in the Garden" from "The Peony Pavilion":
"It turns out that the flowers are blooming all over the world, and they are all ruined like this. But what a beautiful day, who's house is a place to enjoy the pleasure..."

In the end, Chi Yu wanted to make a statement: "I'm really just an actor!"

The applause from the audience, the instigation of Chen Wuji and the rest of the crew made him want to quit the entertainment circle!
Fortunately, this kind of "torture" basically disappeared in mid-October.

On October 10, the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" reached 20 billion, and the single-day box office has dropped to 25.73 million.

And it's still falling.

"Farewell My Concubine will stop at 30 billion!!!"

The media used big exclamation points one after another, and they don't know if they are expressing that it is a pity that "Farewell My Concubine" cannot exceed 30 billion.

I still want to say that Chen Wuji actually made a movie worth nearly 30 billion yuan!

However, no matter what, the box office is now close to 26 billion, which has become the highest-grossing art film in the history of Chinese film!

Naturally, it is also Chen Wuji's highest-grossing movie.

Of course, this kind of calculation can sometimes not be taken too seriously.

Chen Wuji was happy, but he was still very calm in private, quite a bit, I just made another movie according to the rhythm of one movie every two years.

He is calm, but the producers and distributors of the film are not calm.

After making such a movie, if you don’t go to major film festivals (awards), you will not only disrespect the movie itself, but also disrespect the film festival (award).

The Golden Pheasant Award has been declared after the film has won the dragon mark, so it can get 12 nominations.

What to do now is to start preparing to declare for other awards.

Especially the Golden Globes and Oscars early next year.

Although in the hearts of filmmakers, the artistic level of these two awards cannot be compared with the three major European film festivals, but it is like a plot of a Chinese, just like Nobel, a plot.

Moreover, although it cannot be compared with the three major European film festivals, it is also a grand prize.

But these have nothing to do with Chi Yu for the time being.

For things like awards, if it is a film award, then you only need to appear on the day of the award ceremony, and then walk the red carpet, receive the award, or run with you.

If it is a film festival, given the importance of "Farewell My Concubine" and Chen Wuji's reputation in the international film industry, it is natural to participate in some film screening activities before the awards ceremony.

However, that is at least in November and December.

Now Chi Yu is in the recording studio, dubbing Brother Xun.

"I am hiding in the small building now, regardless of my age."

"I'll do three things, copying ancient steles, compiling inscriptions on inscriptions on inscriptions, and proofreading ancient books. I'm not interested in anything else. If you come to me to write a manuscript, don't talk about it."

"Family affairs and state affairs are all the same."

"Supposing there were such an iron room without any windows, and it was impossible to destroy. There were many sleeping people in it, who would soon be smothered to death. However, from their lethargy to death, they didn't know the sorrow of their impending death at all... ..."

"Now, you yell loudly to wake up these relatively sober people, but these unfortunate few are going to suffer this irreparable dying pain, do you think you are worthy of them?!"

"Crazy, people are crazy, and the sky is crazy."

Zhou Shuren, from now on, will be called Lu Xun!

"In a fit of anger, I ate all these people and turned them into stinky feces."

"Since you are not a person who hides the country, then don't meddle in the affairs of the country. Don't worry about your troubles and be naughty."

"Anyone, you can't try to block the wheel of history. If you insist on blocking, there will only be one result. What? You will be crushed."

Movies and TV shows have a troublesome problem, that is, post-dubbing is required, even if the actors do it themselves, post-dubbing is required.

Generally speaking, there will be a period of time between shooting and post-dubbing.

Chi Yu's role in "Age of Awakening" was filmed at the end of June, and the whole drama was filmed for half a month after Chi Yu's filming, and it was officially wrapped in mid-July.

Chi Yu was on the set of "Slaying the Wolf 2" in Siam, so the finale banquet that was officially concluded was not successful.

Closer to home.

It has been less than three months since the TV series was officially finished, and the TV series has been edited, which is already very fast.

But even so, in the past three months, Chi Yu has moved away from the role of Brother Xun.

So when he was first notified to record the dubbing, he had to spend a few days to get back to brother Xun's state, and then he worked hard and took a few more days to finish the recording.

"Is our drama going to be the opening drama of next year?" Chi Yu asked director Zhang Yongxin.

"Well, I guess so."

Zhang Yongxin nodded, and then said: "But it's hard to say. If there are no problems in the middle, and the review is fast, the broadcast will start after New Year's Day."

"Blessed are the friends of the drama famine."

"Haha, jokes are not nonsense, and adaptations are not random fabrications. As long as they don't say that we are making up dramas and talking about history." Zhang Yongxin said with a relaxed face.

People who are not easy can't play tricks.

But speaking of it, in "Age of Awakening", there are quite a few famous scenes that they thought they had, which may not have actually happened in history.

For example, these shots of Brother Xun are basically secondary creations.

But they are confident that after the audience has seen it, they will feel that these secondary creations may be just right, and they should happen in history.

"Speaking of which, when you speak now, you finally don't quote Brother Xun's words in every sentence."

Zhang Yongxin said with a smile: "I'm still worried that you will be regarded as a weirdo if you keep doing this."

"At the beginning, it was a bit exaggerated in the character of Brother Xun, and I also hoped to use this to keep myself out of the show, so it was a bit of a show." Chi Yu said embarrassingly.

"How can it be considered showing off? The vast majority of people, if they want to show off, they are probably not qualified to show off."

Zhang Yongxin shook his head, and then said: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, "Farewell My Concubine" is really well shot, and Cheng Dieyi's performance is also amazing! I watched it twice myself, the first time I was shocked, and the second time I was shocked." Show me twice and cry!"

"Thank you."

For Zhang Yongxin's contribution of two movie tickets—maybe more than two, after all, he is the director, who knows who he will bring to the movie—, Chi Yu can only express his gratitude.

Then he said: "The role of Cheng Dieyi has its own characteristics, and it is not too difficult to act. On the contrary, I am now worried that after "Age of Awakening" is broadcast, the audience will accept me. child's interpretation."

"Just don't worry about that, I definitely give full marks to Brother Xun's role!"

Zhang Yongxin patted Chi Yu's shoulder, then looked at the time, and said, "Go, it just so happens that the recording is over today, I'll treat you to a meal as compensation for the finale."

"No, Director Zhang, let me invite you." Chi Yu expressed panic.

"No, this guest must be invited by me."

Zhang Yongxin insisted, and then said: "And, tonight, someone wants to see you."

"See me? Who is it?" Chi Yu was stunned.

"You'll know when it arrives."

……

After meeting, there were four people, three men and one woman.

The ages of the three men all seemed to be over 50 years old, and the last lady, although well-dressed, was also over 50 years old.

Among the four people, Chi Yu only knew one of them.

Yu Dong, the chairman of Bona, whom he met on the crew of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is the Chi Yu you want to meet."

Along with Zhang Yongxin, Liu Guohua, the producer and producer of "Awakening Age".

"Yu Dong." Chi Yu knew someone, so naturally he had to speak first.

"Boss Chi." Yu Dong was also interesting.

However, the current Boss Chi is quite worthy of the name. Firstly, in the promotion of "Farewell My Concubine", he confirmed his status as a master of Peking Opera. Secondly, he also has a company under him.

Yu Dong said, and introduced the other three people: "This is Zhou Zhan, the chairman of Jingcheng Cultural Investment Cultural Tourism."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Haha, Boss Chi, hello." Zhou Zhan took the initiative to shake hands with Chi Yu.

"The last two."

Yu Dong continued to introduce the last two people: "Liu Weiqiang, Director Liu, and Li Jinwen, Director Li."

Liu Weiqiang? !

This person's name is a bit thunderous.

Especially those who like Hong Kong movies. In the years when Hong Kong movies recovered, it was his "Infernal Affairs" that brought the dying Hong Kong movies back to life.

Liu Weiqiang started out as a photographer.

Cooperating with King of Sunglasses, he has filmed such films as "Carmen in Mong Kok", "Legend of [-] Million Inspector Lei Luo: Thunder Tiger" and "Chongqing Forest", and was nominated for Best Photography at the Hong Kong Film Awards three times.

And in the end, with "Scarred City", he finally won the Best Cinematography Award.

After becoming a director, I filmed two "Young and Dangerous", and the second film was finished in only 11 days to catch up with the spring season, and both films are classics.

Of course, some people, taking advantage of the turmoil, ate peanuts.

The film period of "Young and Dangerous" is Liu Weiqiang's first creative stage.

After that, he filmed "The Wind and Cloud Hegemony", which won the box office champion of Hong Kong films that year, and "Chinese Heroes", both of which are animation special effects action films.

This is the second creative stage of Liu Weiqiang's film

After that, the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy co-directed with Mak Zhaohui pushed Liu Weiqiang to the peak of his career, and at the same time began to change from a commercial to a literary route.

And with "Infernal Affairs", he won the Best Director Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The quality of the subsequent films, "Jing Wu Feng Yun", "I Will Never Leave You Alone", "Blood Droplets" and "The Wind and Cloud 2", has slightly declined in quality, but they are basically above the standard line.

This is Liu Weiqiang, a filmmaker who cannot be avoided when talking about Xiangjiang films.

Then there was Li Jinwen, whom Chi Yu was not very familiar with.

"Director Li has participated in the production of more than 50 films so far, right?" Yu Dong asked as if he could see Chi Yu's eyes when he greeted him.

"Well, almost, almost 60." Li Jinwen smiled.

That's awesome!

Veteran filmmaker.

Afterwards, everyone ate first.

It was only when I was halfway through the meal that I entered the topic.

Yu Dong first asked Liu Weiqiang: "Director Liu, how is it? You have seen the actor now, can you tell me something?"

Chi Yu didn't speak.

After learning that one of them was Liu Weiqiang, he understood that this was probably an "audition".

"Haha, Yu Dongzhen can make jokes."

Liu Weiqiang said with a smile: "It's not so much whether the actors can do it, but I think it depends on whether our script can do it and whether the actors are interested."

Chi Yu still didn't speak.

Yu Dong then patted Chi Yu on the shoulder and said, "It's like this. We are going to shoot a gift film. Next year's National Day file, the subject has already been selected. This one is better than Hollywood's "Captain Sully". Captain, how are you doing, are you interested?"

"..."

It's like you didn't say anything.

Chi Yu could only say: "I really want to participate in Director Liu's movie."

When he said that, everyone laughed.

"The script is already being created."

Liu Weiqiang said: "The adaptation is based on the 5-14 Sichuan Airlines flight alternate landing incident this year. At your age, you may have to play the co-pilot, and the captain will be played by Mr. Zhang Hanyu."

When he said this, Chi Yu's face immediately became serious, and he said, "No problem, even if Director Liu asks me to act as a flight attendant, I'm fine!"

First of all, this movie is a gift, and 5-14 is too awesome!

Secondly, in "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Hanyu assisted him, and it should even be said that he acted as a co-pilot. Now it is not impossible to play him as the co-pilot.

"Haha, that's unlikely!"

Liu Weiqiang laughed loudly and said, "On this flight, the flight attendants are all girls."

At this time, Zhang Yongxin said: "Director Liu, don't forget that Chi Yu is very good at playing back roles."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and then praised a few words of "Farewell My Concubine".

While talking and laughing, Liu Weiqiang's movie was basically settled.

As for the script, with the creative speed of a Hong Kong filmmaker like Liu Weiqiang, Chi Yu didn't think he would have to wait too long.

While going to the bathroom in the middle, Chi Yu asked Zhang Yongxin in a low voice while washing his hands: "Director Zhang, who is that Li Jinwen? It looks quite imposing."

"You may not be familiar with the name Li Jinwen, but if I tell you a few movie names, you will know how good she is."

Zhang Yongxin raised his eyebrows, and said, "Havoc in Guangchanglong", "The Strange Case of the Forbidden Palace in the Manqing Dynasty", "The Secret Life of Cixi"."

Chi Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

"..."

Zhang Yongxin was very helpless, so he had to say: "Then "Letter to Dad", "Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions", "Not One Less", "My Father and Mother", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Di Renjie: The Empire of the Heavens", "Fatty Action" Team"……"

"Sure enough!"

Chi Yu suddenly understood.

"Not One Less", "My Father and Mother", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", these three movies are amazing!

After the dinner was over, everyone dispersed.

When Chi Yu returned home, alone, he searched for several movies that Li Jinwen participated in or supervised, and was speechless all night.

　Three chapters are here! 5200+6000+4200=15400! !Thank you for the monthly ticket of Tulongdao alternate! !
