The actor's mental state is not stable

Chapter 224 One-sentence script

He Xi had a lot of phone calls, Huo Yunting was too busy, most of them just said a few words and then hung up.

But old friends like Liu Dehua and Huang Bo definitely need to say a few more words.

After playing for about an hour and a half, I was bitten by mosquitoes several times, and I finally managed to deal with all my friends.

Standing up, my legs felt a little numb, and within two steps, another phone call came in.

Huo Yunting saw that the caller was also a rare visitor, Wang Jiawei.

"Master Huo, congratulations, the first movie in my life that has exceeded [-] million yuan, and also broke the Guinness World Record, double happiness."

"Old Wang, don't brag about me. You don't know what I'm capable of."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and Jiucai answered, "Hey, Master Huo, I really haven't seen through your abilities. I just want to have more exchanges with you, the Wing Chun master."

"Don't, I'm not a master, I'm just a kid."

"Master Huo, if you are too modest, you are somewhat proud. You are not a master, who dares to say that you are a master?"

Huo Yunting cheerfully said, "Old Wang, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you call today, it must be more than just congratulations."

If he remembered correctly, Wang Jiawei had been preparing a movie about martial arts, which happened to be about Wing Chun, so if he called today, he might ask him to be a martial artist?
"Master Huo, I like dealing with smart people like you." Wang Jiawei cut to the chase, "I want you to be the lead actor in my new movie, which is the previous Wing Chun movie about martial arts, tentatively titled "The Great Master."

Huo Yunting froze for a moment, then took a deep breath.

Well, he could have thought that Wang Jiawei had a good job in calling him, but he didn't expect him to be the lead actor.

Before he could speak, Wang Jiawei on the other end of the phone continued on his own, "As for the heroine, I want to invite Zhang Ziyi. The only problem is that she doesn't know Baguazhang, so she has to practice from scratch. So the start-up time may have to be delayed."

At the end, he said with emotion, "It's easy to find actors who can fight martial arts in this circle, but actresses are really rare."

Seeing what he said, Huo Yunting slapped his thigh, "Is this a coincidence? Liu Yifei knows it."

"Yo, Ms. Liu can also gossip?"

"At any rate, I also have the reputation of passing on martial arts. I dare not say that Baguazhang is proficient, but it can also be called proficient. She has been learning from me for almost half a year."

A thoughtful murmur came from the other end of the phone, "I'll find time for an interview another day, but the main thing is to match my image."

"It must be. I can tell the difference between public and private." Huo Yunting nodded, and then asked, "Old Wang, when can I have a look at the script?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then Wang Jiawei's voice rang out. Huo Yunting almost thought that the signal in the mountains was too bad and disconnected.

"Tell the story of how you developed Wing Chun."

Huo Yunting froze for a moment, "What is this?"

"The script."

?

Eyelids couldn't help jumping up, and it took a long time for Huo Yunting to speak, "Old Wang, the outline of the story is only one or two hundred words, you tell me this is your script?"

"Oh, it's fine workmanship, slow work produces careful work."

Huo Yunting was full of words in his chest, wanting to spray his brains on his face, but finally held back, "I'm thinking about it."

"Master Huo, trust me, you will never lose money if you shoot with me."

Hanging up the phone with a face full of pain, Liu Yifei walked over bouncing, "What's the matter? Who's calling, it's like changing faces in a Sichuan opera."

"A director came to ask me to make an appointment just now."

"Isn't that good? Why, the script sucks?"

"He said something."

"and then?"

"He told me it was his script."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, "Could it be Wang Jiawei you're talking about?"

Huo Yunting turned pale with shock, "Is his reputation already that bad?"

"It's almost—oh no, it's just the reputation. After all, there are no other directors in the industry who can do this kind of thing except Wang Jiawei."

Huo Yunting rubbed the center of his brows, "There is one more thing, he still wants to interview you to be the heroine."

Liu Yifei pointed at herself in surprise, "Me?"

"He said that the heroine wanted to invite Zhang Ziyi, but she had to learn Baguazhang. Didn't I teach you before? After practicing for half a year, it must be enough to shoot a scene, so I recommended you."

"Ah, that's not a coincidence, we're acting as a couple again."

Liu Yifei seemed a little happy, this is a good time, and he is acting as a couple again.

Looking at her smiling face like a flower, Huo Yunting suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, because he saw his shadow in Qian Qian.

At the beginning, he signed a three-year contract with Huayi. Except for "Green Red" and "Crazy Stone", the rest of the work was hired by him himself, or they took the initiative to find him.

When he signed Huayi, at least he used two of Huayi's resources. Sissy was even more outrageous than him, and she didn't use one.

Speaking of which, she has been signing with Huayi for a while, and she always feels that she is going to follow his path.

Damn it, it's really impossible to let Sissy change jobs, they can start a company.

When his mind was flying wildly, Li Guoli came up behind him from nowhere and slapped him on the shoulder.

"You haven't finished talking, boy, why are you staying here? It's time for your show."

"I said, Lao Li, are you familiar with Wang Jiawei?"

"Huh? You hooked up with Wang Jiawei?" Li Guoli glanced at him rather curiously, "Let me tell you, Wang Jiawei and Huang Baiming are not very easy to deal with."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Huo Yunting became interested, and there is a little gossip in it?

"When Wang Jiawei first entered the film industry, he was working as a screenwriter in Huang Baiming's Xinyi City. At that time, you knew that there was only one request, fast. For example, Huang Baiming wrote the script of "Hit the Wrong Car" in two days."

"As a result, Wang Jiawei was a white-collar worker for several months and couldn't produce a decent script. In the end, he was fired by Huang Baiming."

Huo Yunting was thoughtful. It is a shameful thing for a screenwriter to be fired, which shows that his ability is not up to standard.Once this squid is fried, it might not be able to get any more jobs in the future.

"Let me put it this way, it makes me feel like these two people are playing Wing Chun and Ip Man on the same stage."

"It's probably a coincidence." Li Guoli shrugged, "Why are you asking him? Did you ask him to play?"

"Say a word to me and tell me it's his script."

Li Guoli didn't seem too surprised, he clicked his tongue twice, and told a story about Wang Jiawei's past.

When filming "2046", Wang Jiawei told Takuya Kimura, "You are waiting for someone".

Then there was nothing left.

Takuya Kimura listened in a daze, "Who am I waiting for?"

"You are not waiting for someone, you are waiting for someone."

Then the filming started, and Takuya Kimura was full of question marks.

"Is this filming "2046" or "Waiting for Godot", so abstract?" Liu Yifei's mind was filled with question marks, and Wang Jiawei's stream of consciousness was obviously more serious than what she had heard.

Huo Yunting pondered for a long time, he didn't even have a script, let alone the storyboard.

Regardless of the speed, the old Hong Kong film director's ability to perform on the spot can be regarded as a thorough learning for Wang Jiawei.

Li Guoli smacked his lips with his hands behind his back, "If you want to say whether the filming is up to standard or whether the acting meets the requirements, no one knows, even Wang Jiawei himself can't figure it out."

"But you don't care how he messes around, he can make some awesome movies." Speaking of this, Li Guoli lit a cigarette with emotion, "This is what God feeds, and he was born to be a director."

"By the way, and also, when you tell him about a play, you have to ask carefully, and everything is clear. Who will play the role of the hero and heroine, and what is the identity of the hero and heroine——have you listened to me, kid?"

Seeing Huo Yunting's distracted appearance, Li Guoli shut his mouth angrily.

When you cooperate with him, you suffer.

Put Wang Jiawei's invitation aside for the time being, and discuss it with Lao Zhang after returning to Beiping. The most important thing now is to finish the filming of "Xianjian III" as soon as possible.

There is still the last scene left in Xianjian III, which is the heavy snow that Xu Changqing made for Zixuan.

Looking for a good scene from Jiuzhaigou, Liu Yifei put on a waist-length white wig, and four huge snow spraying machines were placed on the four corners. With Li Guoli's "action", the filming officially started.

There are no lines in this paragraph. According to Li Guoli's intention, there will be a theme song behind it, but what the theme song is has not yet been revealed.

The role of Immortal Sword III is actually very difficult to play. Three Lives III, it is really a test of acting skills for one person to play three different characters, and Zixuan played by Liu Yifei is no exception.

Several snow blowers were running at full power, and the sky was covered with goose feathers for a while. Liu Yifei looked at the sky covered with snow, and put herself and Huo Yunting in her heart, and a sense of sadness slowly spread all over her body.

There are multiple endings in the original game of Paladin III, but the TV series cannot be rolled back. Among these many endings, it is quite difficult to choose the most suitable one.

After choosing among the many endings of the game, the screenwriters decided on an ending that everyone felt was quite appropriate.

Solanum nigrum casts a sword with its body, and the body dies and the dao disappears; Mao Mao cuts the meat for food, and the body is shattered; He Biping is cut off by the evil sword fairy and thrown off the cliff;

The only thing that can make people feel warmer is that Sedum and Xue Jian are finally together.It's just that Jing Tian revived others at the cost of Yangshou, and his time is running out.

How happy the beginning of Xianjian III is, how miserable the ending will be.As Lu Xun said, tragedy is tearing up a beautiful thing for others to see.

After the official broadcast of Paladin III, such an ending will definitely make the audience "never forget".

In this last scene, Liu Yifei's emotions are well substituted, and it's a one-off.Soon the crew heard the sound of breaking through the sky, and the birds scattered in the dense forest in shock.

"It's done!"

Although the film is finished, the work of the crew is not over yet. This large area is full of fake snow, and they have to be cleaned up before leaving.

The fake snow used in filming is made of sodium polyacrylate polymer, which can be melted by sprinkling salt. The crew bought tens of catties of salt at least.

Cai Yinong originally wanted to make a fuss, but he almost got it.It's just that Huo Yunting grasped it tightly and took the lead to spread the salt himself.

When others see it, the biggest players in our crew have all played in person. Can they just sit around here?
They also carried a bag of salt to work, and Huo Yunting didn't stop until there was no more white on the ground.

After the work of spreading the salt was over, the crew moved equipment and prepared to evacuate.Li Guoli sent Huo Yunting the final payment of the film salary and Wu Zhi's salary, and also wrapped four or eight red envelopes by the way.

Just as I was about to say a few heartfelt words to Huo Yunting, and by the way summarize my reflections from filming Immortal Sword III in the past few months, Huo Yunting interrupted as soon as the words came to my throat.

"That's not right, Director Li, I haven't paid the director's assistant's money yet."

Li Guoli was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, and my money as an editor."

Li Guoli took several deep breaths, and finally said these words, "Damn you, you really can beat the atmosphere."

The total of these two jobs was only ten thousand yuan, so Li Guoli simply wrapped him another big bag.

When the team was about to break up, Huo Yunting told him that his nominal editor should be the last one.

After all, this is the result of the labor of his entire editorial team. The reason why he wanted this nominal editor was just to have fun with Li Guoli. If he really moved to the front row quietly, what would people think?
He, Huo Yunting, still can't do this kind of shameless plagiarism.

After a breakup meal, Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei returned to Peiping overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Huo Yunting met Zhang Debang in the studio and discussed with him about Wang Jiawei's invitation to star in "The Great Master".

Hearing Wang Jiawei's words, Lao Zhang was so excited that he almost didn't pee on the spot, "Yes! Brother Huo, why are you hesitating? You must agree!"

Just hearing the three words Wang Jiawei, Zhang Debang seemed to have seen countless awards before waving to them.

If Hong Kong movies are compared to a balance, then the two ends of the balance are commercial films and art films.

There is a high probability that Wang Jing is sitting on the commercial side, but Wang Jiawei is definitely well-deserved on the artistic side.

But different from Zhang Debang's excitement, Huo Yunting seemed very calm, even somewhat resistant.

Looking at Huo Yunting who said nothing, Zhang Debang also calmed down a little, "Brother Huo, why, do you have a problem with Wang Jiawei?"

Huo Yunting shook his head.

It's not that I have any opinion on him personally, but mainly because I have some doubts about him as a director.

Old Wang is strange.

It can be described as an alternative among directors.

Take a look, you dare to shoot without even having a script. Others would not even be able to attract investment.

Ability, Huo Yunting is sure.

But this shooting progress, Huo Yunting felt that it was really a pug chasing a rabbit - but it was slow.

For example, "2046" took five years to shoot, from April 1999 to July 4; and "Evil, West, Poison" also took three years.

Zhang Debang retorted, "The filming of "Chongqing Forest" was only 6 weeks in total, and it's not like he didn't have fast films."

"How many years has he been preparing for "The Grandmaster"? Do you think he might finish filming in a few months?"

Zhang Debang held back for a long time, "Brother Huo, it's Wang Jiawei's film. After shooting it, it won't lose money for several years."

Huo Yunting sighed and didn't speak.

He can afford to wait, but can his illness afford to wait?
