Chapter 54

In the original "League of Assassins", the villain Sloan managed to get all the killers on his side through an impassioned speech. The fox shot a circular ballistic to end all the killers including herself. gun, but watched as Fox was shot and Sloan had already escaped.

Until a few days later, Sloan sneaked into an office, and in the cubicle of the office, someone happened to be working with his back to Sloan, and the person who looked at the back was the protagonist.

Then Sloan was loaded, and the man in the office turned his head, but it was not the protagonist. Sloan blurted out "Fuck" when he realized that he had been fooled, and then a cloud of blood was shot out of his forehead, and then time was reversed, and the bullet returned along the same path. The real protagonist It was the bullet that was fired from a rental house a few kilometers away, and the picture echoed the protagonist's father killing Mr. X at the beginning.

In Li Mu's version of "Assassin", he wanted Cheng Long's character to live. Since Li Lianlian's character lived to the end, Cheng Long's character must also live to the end.

Then the ending must be changed.

How to change it?
On the train, Cheng Long and Li Lian had a peak duel, and then Cheng Long's character was only seriously injured and fell into a severe coma, but he did not die. No matter how badly the Assassins were injured, they would be healed by soaking in the potion for a while.

Since Cheng Long's character is not dead, he must participate in the final killing of Sloan, so Li Mu asked the real Li Lian to act as a bait this time.

Sloan still touched an office, still saw a person whose back looked like the protagonist, and still turned his head, but this time it was not a substitute, Li Lian was not panicked when someone pointed a gun at his head, and then the same Long was headshot, but this time it was Cheng Long who shot.

At the beginning of the movie, Cheng Long kills Mr. X with a super-long-range sniper, and at the end of the movie, Cheng Long kills Sloan with a super-long-distance sniper, which also echoes back and forth.

And Li Mu felt that the plot would be more reasonable if he changed it like this.

After all, Sloan is such a fine person, why hasn't he seen the ups and downs?For an old fox like this, in the original movie, he was easily fooled by the double that the protagonist finds so casually, and it feels logically a little bit unreasonable.

The purpose of Li Mu's modification is to keep Cheng Long alive, and to let Cheng Long have a sense of participation when killing the big villain, but from the results, it is obviously more reasonable to trick Sloan into showing up as the real protagonist. .

Finally, there is the part of the plot where Liu Yifei cameo.

On the basketball court of a certain school in the United States, Li Mu also played a cameo role here. He and his classmates were playing, surrounded by girls watching, including Liu Yifei's cameo role.

The basketball rolls to Liu Yifei's feet, Li Mu's character calls Liu Yifei's character to throw the ball over, Liu Yifei has a "panic attack", his heart beats [-] times per minute, and the actions of the people around him seem to be in slow motion. The basket that is far away seems to be close at hand.

Seeing that Liu Yifei didn't respond, Li Mu's character had already walked over in person. Liu Yifei's character's "panic attack" became more serious, and finally threw the ball before Li Mu's character arrived.

With a bang, the ball went in.

There was a burst of cheers on the court, and Li Mu was also amazed.Even he might not be sure of such a long distance, this girl is very strong, and she is so lucky!

Yes, everyone thought that Liu Yifei just had a blindfold.

Until the basketball rolled to Liu Yifei's feet for the second time, all the boys were booing this time, clamoring for this little beauty to make another shot.

The result, of course, was that the ball was scored again.

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, and Li Mu's character came over directly holding the basketball. At this time, a woman's voice called out the name of Liu Yifei's character. Liu Yifei's character looked up in surprise, and Mr. "Mom", followed by a more excited shout "Dad".

It turned out that Cheng Long and Xu Qing had appeared behind Liu Yifei at some point.

Liu Yifei's character left with her parents, and Li Mu's cameo character chased after Cheng Long and told Cheng Long that your daughter is very talented in basketball. Cheng Long smiled and said that her daughter would follow him.

Then Cheng Long took the basketball from Li Mu's hand and made a serious shot, and the ball scored.Then the family of three left, and the movie ended.

After the movie was finished, it was natural to hold a wrap-up banquet. Li Mu also gave everyone a red envelope. Except for Morgan, who played Sloan, who did not attend the wrap-up banquet, the rest of the main actors were present. Hastily left.

""Assassin" is my first directorial work. As a new director, I don't understand many things, and there are many things I don't quite understand. Thanks to everyone's help, the film can be successfully finished. I have given everyone Everyone has sent a red envelope, the money is not much, but it is also my heart, there are many people, and there may be missed and heavy ones, just keep it yourself, if you don’t receive it, come to me to get it, okay Let's all eat and drink well."

After Li Mu finished speaking, the scene was full of joy, and there were endless applause.

At the finale banquet, everyone drank to their heart's content, and Cheng Long pulled everyone to sigh with emotion: "Let me and you learn from the scene when I met Li Mu for the first time."

"At that time, he came to visit me with his father, and said that he asked me to read the script for help. The young man was well-behaved and polite. I was really confused by his appearance. Who knew that this boy had [-] minds!"

The whole crew quieted down and listened to Cheng Long's speech.

"It's not true that this kid asked me to help me read the script. It's true that he seduced me with a good script. After he finds out that I am really interested in the script, guess what he will do next? Remind me, this kid is very courageous very!"

Cheng Long asked Li Lianhua: "Lianhua, guess what this kid did at that time?"

Li Lianhua smiled: "Has he opened his mouth like a lion?"

"I'm still timid!" Cheng Long snorted.Then he asked everyone in the crew one by one, Huang Jianxin, Xu Ke, Li Lianlian, Liu Yifei, everyone he asked smiled and shook their heads.

So Cheng Long continued: "This kid turned around and went to Xiying, and then told Xiying that he had a very good script, a script that Cheng Long was full of praise for and wanted to act in person. He wanted to invite Xiying to join the team, but he wanted As an assistant director, at the same time, he has to give the final editing rights to his uncle, and his uncle is Liu Xiaowu's editor... How about it, do you understand?"

Everyone turned to look at Li Mu, Li Mu blushed a little, and everyone looked at Cheng Long again, Cheng Long continued:

"Do you think Xiying will agree? Of course it will! This is a project that Cheng Long is very optimistic about and wants to act in himself! Besides, Liu Xiaowu is originally Xiying's, and the final cutting rights are given to Liu Xiaowu for his own employees. The director will give him an assistant director, and a crew can have as many assistant directors as you want?"

"Then, will I, Cheng Long, accept it?"

"Yes! In order to adapt to the mainland's film policy, we originally wanted to find a mainland partner to make a movie. The partner invested half of the money. It is not too much to ask for an assistant director and the final editing rights of the film. Besides, In exchange, the director will definitely belong to us."

"In the end, guess what? This kid took a script, a script worth 30 yuan, and then used Cheng Long's name to persuade Xiying, then used Xiying's strength to suppress me, Cheng Long, and then used me to check and balance Xiying , As a result, this kid was empty-handed, and White Wolf got the final cut rights and assistant director of a movie starring Cheng Long, a big investment. Eight hundred minds?"

Everyone only knew that although Li Mu was only the screenwriter and assistant director in "Taken", he had a surprisingly large voice. There is such a thing.

Now everyone looked at Li Mu with even more admiration, not only for his ability to use his strength to turn a simple script into the top three in the final cut + screenwriter + assistant director's voice, but also I admire him for clearly taking advantage of Cheng Long, but it seems that Cheng Long is not angry at all.

It's so weird!

Liu Yifei simply rested his chin on his hands and listened quietly to Cheng Long's continued chat about Li Mu's "black" history.

At this time, Cheng Long continued: "I was taken advantage of by Li Mu once, but fortunately, the result was very good. "Taken" sold 2.7 million US dollars worldwide, which is 20 billion yuan when converted into RMB. If you take advantage of it, you will be used, and sometimes you still feel a little uneasy when you think about it, so what should you do?"

Cheng Long looked over one by one, and everyone shook their heads.

Then Cheng Long said to himself: "So after I heard that someone was going to set up a match between me and Li Lianlian, I did not help the flames behind my back-letting Li Lianjie and Cheng Long fight in the movie is easy to say , it is almost impossible to do!"

"Li Lianlian and I, we are both in the same position. In the script, we need to have the same roles, the same good and evil, the same kung fu, and the same ending. The most important thing is to have the market potential of "Taken"! To be honest, this There is almost no possibility!"

"So I pushed Assistant Bo and waited to see Li Mu being forced into a corner. Guess what happened? Wait for someone to bring me the script, boy, I was moved by another glance this time, and then there is this movie now. "Assassin", and this kid has directly turned into the direct director this time."

"The director of a film with an investment of 6000 million US dollars, the director of a film co-starred by Cheng Long and Li Lianhe-well, I don't care what you think, anyway, I am convinced by Cheng Long, what does this kid say? Evil !"

Li Lianlian said with a smile: "It's evil. A book written by a Chinese sold more than 1000 million copies in the United States in less than a year. People who are not evil cannot do this."

Li Mu was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Long, this black history of mine can be regarded as being shaken clean by you this time."

Li Lianhua said with a smile: "Since brother Cheng Long said this publicly, it means that brother Cheng Long has never been angry with you at all. Besides, this is not a black history. It is obviously manipulated by Director Li. You will be manipulated by others in the future." With relish."
