This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 116 You Are Going Crazy!

When he saw Zhou Xingchi, Yang Rui was taken aback.

Unkempt and unkempt, if it weren't for the high-end clothes, people who didn't know would really think he was a tramp.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired from competing with the later stage these days, and I haven't had a good rest." Zhou Xingchi said awkwardly, "Didn't it scare you?"

Yang Rui shook his head, "Master Xing, hurry back and pay attention to your body, some things are irreversible."

Zhou Xingchi nodded with a smile, but didn't take it seriously.

Yang Rui could only sigh helplessly.

It is said that this premature aging is due to donating bone marrow, but the excessive overdraft of the body may be one of the reasons.

Really too hard.

The two sat down and ate some salad steak, and Zhou Xingchi went straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me today?"

Yang Rui put down the knife and fork, "Master Xing, I want you to hire someone for me."

"Who?"

"Baye Yuan."

Zhou Xingchi was taken aback for a moment, "What are you doing, you won't tell me, you want to make an action movie, right?"

Yang Rui nodded with a smile.

Zhou Xingchi stared blankly at Yang Rui, and frowned after a long time, "Are you crazy? Or did you drift off after the success of the first movie? Don't you know the market for action movies in the mainland market?"

"Sitting on the audience relationship I have accumulated over the years, I dare not use a realistic style when shooting "Kung Fu". I have to use comedy elements and comic elements to accompany me!"

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile, "Master Xing, I have always felt that Xiangjiang's action movies have been overwhelmed by the deformed market. This is a pity. It has not bloomed the brilliance it should have at all."

Zhou Xingchi remained silent, obviously agreeing with this point of view.

A theme that was supposed to shine, but died prematurely in the deformed market wave.

Even superstar embryos like Li Lianjie were forced to take bad movies and finally quit the circle hastily.

What a pity indeed.

"So Xing Ye, I want to continue the glory that I should have." Yang Rui said seriously: "Action movies shouldn't be like what they are now."

"I hope that one day, those so-called 'martial arts shows' that use blowers and slow-motion close-ups to make up their numbers will be completely driven out of the market."

"I can't expect others to change the environment. I hope to start from myself."

Zhou Xingchi was silent again, but he looked at Yang Rui with more respect in his eyes.

Dare to think and dare to do, just this vision and courage, I am afraid that it is unmatched among my peers!
"Just for the few words you said just now, I'm here to help." Zhou Xingchi asked: "Can you tell me, what kind of film do you want to make?"

Yang Rui smiled faintly, ""Jing Wu Heroes"."

Zhou Xingchi was completely dumbfounded, and it took him a while to say with a look of astonishment: "What did you just say? A hero of Jingwu? Is it the Jingwu I understand?"

"Yes, it's the Jing Wu of Jing Wu Sect." Yang Rui nodded.

"hiss--"

Zhou Xingchi took a breath, his face was surprisingly solemn, "Are you really going crazy?!"

In this regard, Yang Rui was not surprised at all.

After all, Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury" was so successful that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a milestone for Hong Kong films.

So far, Bruce Lee is still the only god in the kung fu film market, not to mention surpassing, there are very few who can smell the exhaust.

In terms of influence, Cheng Long may be the closest, but he is good at kung fu comedy, strictly speaking, he is not on the same track as Long Ge.

It is not that no one has tried to challenge this monument in the past few years, but without exception all failed, until finally everyone gave up their fantasy.

But now, a 19-year-old kid wants to challenge this impossible task head-on!
This is not crazy what is it? !

"Liangzi, don't you understand what "Fist of Fury" means in the field of kung fu movies?" Zhou Xingchi was a little anxious, "Are you going to learn from Don Quixote?"

"Let's not talk about whether this film can make back its money at the box office, but just talk about word of mouth... With gems ahead, it's basically impossible for you to surpass it!"

"Once the box office and word of mouth all collapse, it will be a fatal blow to you, you know?"

"I know a little bit about your current situation. When the time comes...have you thought about the consequences?!"

The words sound harsh, but Yang Rui can hear the taste of concern between the lines.

He smiled lightly and said, "I'm ready to hit the box office. As for word of mouth... I believe it won't collapse."

"I know Brother Long's "Fist of Fury" is difficult to surpass, but... can you not score goals if you have a goalkeeper?"

"Aren't the so-called peaks meant to be conquered? Isn't the so-called records meant to be broken?"

"If you feel daunted by the achievements of your predecessors, when will you have a real breakthrough?"

Zhou Xingchi remained silent, looking at Yang Rui as if he was looking at a stranger.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm old, it looks like I'm really old, the film industry in the future will be dominated by you young people..."

"Master Star?"

"Okay, I get it, I'll talk to Master Ba when I get back, but I can't guarantee that he will pick it up."

"In addition... his salary is not low, don't expect me to help you lower the price."

Yang Rui nodded hastily, "Thank you Master Xing, I understand."

money?
What Xingqing Culture lacks most now is money!

Returning home after dinner, Yang Rui began to think about the film's starring lineup.

Chen Zhen, let him take it by himself.

But this is not a one-man show, there are still many bright roles that need to be carefully considered.

Huo Tingen, he plans to let his brother Zhao Ming try.

This Hanhan senior brother's acting skills are still a bit raw, but the advantage is that he can fight, and he can really fight.

Mitsuko Yamada... This role doesn't have many roles, but it can't be chosen too casually. The Shinobu Nakayama in the original version is so eye-catching, and once became the white moonlight of countless people.

And the brothel girl from Char Siu Fen, the master-level Fumio Funakoshi...

However, compared to these characters, the final boss Takeshi Fujita is the one that bothers him the most.

This humanoid Gundam, the sense of oppression brought to movie viewers back then almost overflowed the screen, and the impression on Yang Rui was too deep.

Yang Rui originally wanted to invite Zhou Bili himself to play the role, but after thinking about it carefully... it seems that it is not feasible.

Fujita Takeshi's tough pressure in the original work is partly based on the height difference between the two.

Li Lianjie, who is less than 1.7 meters, is facing Zhou Bili, who is 183cm. This height difference will naturally bring about visual strengths and weaknesses.

And if there is no distinction between physical strength and weakness in the final battle that is famous in the history of shadows, then the sense of anticipation before the final boss battle and the courage after clearing the level will definitely be greatly reduced.

Yang Rui's current height has reached 180cm, visually he is almost on the same level as Zhou Bili, who is 183cm...

For the preset conditions of the final battle, this height difference is fatal.

If you can't change yourself, then you can only change the boss.

You have to find a boss with a big body and a whole body!

It's just that if you go up 190CM, there are not many people who can fight...

Anyway, he scratched his head and couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Early the next morning, he could only go to the company to ask Ding Lan for help, hoping that she could use her money to help find a suitable one.

When talking about this, Wang Pheasant happened to be there too.

When she heard Yang Rui's words, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Director Yang, I have a younger brother who is a half-way monk, about [-] in height, can you let him try?"
