Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 145-Invite Chen Yu? It’s very difficult (please pursue reading)
After the crew of "Fire Like a Song" finished work, Director Li Weiji returned to the hotel and knocked on Director Liang Shengquan's door with two boxes of cooked food and a bottle of Wujiapi.

"Just chat?" Director Li Weiji turned slightly sideways and gently shook his hands, letting Director Liang Shengquan, who had half a piece of red money in his mouth, see the sincerity he brought.

Although director Liang Shengquan's personal image is a bit sloppy, the room he has cleaned up is very neat and fresh, which is very characteristic of his style of directing film and television dramas.

Therefore, while Jiaxing appointed Liang Shengquan, who prefers simplicity and clarity, as the chief director, he also hired Li Weiji, who is good at using camera language to assist him.

As of today, the two are working very well together and are extremely enjoyable.

Director Liang Shengquan is responsible for the overall planning and layout of the scene;

Director Li Weiji captures the delicate emotional transmission of the camera.

Liang Shengquan put out his cigarette and then filled Li Weiji with a cup of Acanthopanax bark that smelled of traditional Chinese medicine. This gentle-tempered partner beside him was also regarded as the "performance coach" of the crew of "Fire Like a Song".

After all, except for Gong Beixin and Li Yitong, who just came to the rescue, everyone from Reba to Zhou Yumin and the rest are all "acting-difficult households" who need poverty relief.

"If we only talk about the professional abilities of artists, the mainland has followed the old path of Hong Kong. The vast majority of young people only have a glamorous appearance but lack the inner spirit."

To be honest, responsible migrants like Liang Shengquan and Li Weiji who moved north from Hong Kong to the mainland in pursuit of development cherish the mainland market more than their “indigenous” counterparts.

Because this group of people have already retreated to the mainland from Xiangjiang. If the mainland market collapses, where else can they go? Going to Nanyang together to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam? Seems unrealistic.

Anyway, the road leading to Japan and South Korea has long been blocked, and directors from the Mainland, Hong Kong, or Taiwan will not be accustomed to Japan and South Korea.

"The mainland has a large population base. Even if the current wave of 1990 fails, we can still look forward to the future generations in 1995 and 1998."

Director Liang Shengquan has been working in the mainland since the turn of the millennium and has collaborated with Bawuhua. He has also directed three Reba dramas.

It can be said that director Liang Shengquan is a "witness" who witnessed the deterioration of Reba's acting skills.

In 2013, when Dilraba joined the cast to guest star in "The Ancient Sword", director Liang Shengquan thought she was a "potential talent" with a promising future.

When Dilraba starred in "Six Doors" in 2015, director Liang Shengquan completely overturned his previous evaluation and believed that her business ability was really limited.

"Dilraba's performance in the drama "Fire Like a Song", which has gained sweet love now, can be said to be: a new low!"

Director Liang Shengquan took a sip of Wujiapi and said sadly that his career has not been able to achieve a significant breakthrough for more than ten years. He really has to thank these popular artists for their help.

"Thanks to popular artists, I now have very few opportunities to direct top-notch ancient puppet plays."

Director Liang Shengquan showed a dumbfounded expression and turned to look at the silent Li Weiji beside him.

In fact, director Li Weiji came to visit tonight to talk to Liang Shengquan about the possibility of inviting Chen Yu to the crew of "Fire Like a Song".

After all, the first collaboration of the "husband and wife team" Dilraba and Chen Yu on the small screen can also give the audience more expectations for the show.

Judging from the current situation, the overall quality of "Fire Like a Song" is only highlighted in "Serving the Road". After all, the producer Reba spent a lot of money on these three items.

In addition, even though Yu Zheng cooperated with Mo Bao Fei Bao according to Reba's wishes to modify the script to be brighter and more lively than before, due to the acting problems of Reba, Zhou Yumin and others, it could not be fully presented during filming, which made Liang Shengquan and Li Weiji even more Feeling wasted and heartbroken.

The exquisite costumes and fierce action scenes make the literary and dramatic parts look paler and harsher.

That's why Li Weiji wanted to invite Chen Yu to join the cast to try his best to cover up the literary drama that was ruined by Reba, Zhou Yumin and others for "Fire Like a Song".

"You and I will not talk about whether Reba can give her boyfriend sleeping clothes. We will mainly talk about how well Chen Yu fits the character you designed."

Liang Shengquan put down his wine glass and opened the book Li Weiji brought.

Under the instruction of producer Reba, very little of the emotional line of this ancient puppet has been changed or deleted.

Originally there was an intricate emotional entanglement between Reba, Zhou Yumin, and Liu Ruilin, but now only Zhou Yumin and Liu Ruilin are left as Reba's licking dogs.

"If you force Chen Yu into the [dog-licking] team again, will it look [bloated and cumbersome]?"

Director Liang Shengquan tapped the script and asked, and Chen Yu's role is only a "friendly appearance" at most.

It's too abrupt to impose an emotional scene on this type of character.

Another point is that Chen Yu’s appearance is too cute. If she neglects her styling and clothing, Chen Yu, who plays an ancient puppet, can easily give the audience the illusion of being too "childish". In the play, Reba's appearance is more heroic. , which makes Reba and Chen Yu more like "siblings" than "lovers".

"So I don't recommend inviting Chen Yu to "Fire Song" to destroy the balance of the show."

Director Liang Shengquan shook his head slightly and returned the book to Li Weiji, who was a little disappointed.

Although the acting skills of Reba and others cannot support "Fire Song", they will at least ensure that this drama can make a small profit, but it is difficult to say when the variable of Chen Yu is introduced.

Moreover, director Liang Shengquan also believed that Chen Yu was not suitable to play such a clear-cut or upright character.

Director Liang Shengquan's main task now is to ensure that this ancient idol can be successfully completed.

As for improving his grades, it is no longer a problem for him to consider.

After all, with the acting skills of Reba and Zhou Yumin, it would be very difficult to move forward. If Chen Yu is added to the cast, Liang Shengquan really doesn’t know how to direct it.

Since Liang Shengquan, the chief director of the crew, has vetoed this proposal, Li Weiji stopped nagging him. The two immediately put down their work and started chatting.

After the completion of "Fire Like a Song", Liang Shengquan's next film is "Chen Xi Yuan" with director Lin Yufen.

However, Huace Film and Television and iQiyi, the two major investors of "Chen Xi Yuan", are struggling with the issue of the female lead.

The relevant suggestions given by the casting team after multiple screenings and clearly defining the schedule range are:
Ni Ni and Dilraba are the first echelon; Yang Ying and Gulinazha are the main "candidates".

In addition, Tang Yan, Li Qin, and Song Yi can also try to contact, but the order must be after the first two groups.

"That means you are likely to collaborate with Dilmurat Dilraba for the fourth time?" Li Weiji didn't know whether to congratulate Liang Shengquan or pity the old brother next to him.

Liang Shengquan chuckled and waved his hands. This time, Lin Yufen was appointed as the chief director of "Chen Xi Yuan". He no longer had to worry about managing and coordinating the crew.

However, Huace Film and Television, which has a lot of money, like Tencent, is inclined to recruit Chen Yu and Dilraba into "Chen Xi Yuan".

And iQiyi stood in the corner holding its breath and prepared to give Tencent a disgusting blow by inviting Chen Yu and Dilmurat Dilraba.

"But I estimate that the chance of success is very small. It is unlikely that Chen Yu will star in a particularly formal capacity."

Liang Shengquan took a sip of Wujiapi and winked. Recently, there are rumors in the circle that Chen Yu is about to join the third and fourth films of the "John Wick" series.

If he were to watch another domestic drama, the long-distance flight from east to west would be enough to irritate him.

Liang Shengquan's analysis does make sense. Reba, who has already arrived home, is also chatting with Chen Yu about the subsequent schedule.

The recording time for the final episode of the fifth season of "Running Man" has been tentatively scheduled for next Monday.

The program team helped Reba and Chen Yu apply for visas this morning.

"I'm a bit pressed for time." Chen Yu, who was leaning against the door to supervise Reba's cleaning of the master bedroom, touched the tip of his nose.

The date for all members of "Flowers and Boys Season 3" to gather to record "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward" is also scheduled for the end of March.

As a result, Chen Yu's return to the United States to inspect "Fifty Shades Freed" has to be postponed.

Because the "Charity Basketball Game" held at the Manaus Eco-Entertainment Theme Park in Brazil must blow the whistle before April 16th.

Moreover, Media Rights Capital, Ram Bergman Productions and Lionsgate Pictures are talking to Emanuel about inviting Chen Yu to star in a new film.

The drama suspense film "Knives Out" written and directed by Rian Johnson extended an "olive branch" to Chen Yu.

This is a detective film with a strong Agatha Christie style. According to the news from Lionsgate Pictures, it is extremely suitable for Chen Yu to play the male lead.

Rian Johnson is also a die-hard boxing fan of Chen Yu, so when he wrote the script, he incorporated part of Chen Yu's personality into the behavior of the male lead.

"Does Lionsgate still want to turn this movie with a super cheesy title into a new series?" Reba picked up Wolford's custom-made bra that was placed on the back of the chair, and then carefully put it into the basket for preparation. Will take it for cleaning later.

But what Reba has never figured out is why both Chen Yu and Emmanuel reject action movies.

Nodding at the armrest of the sofa, Chen Yu said that nowadays in Europe and the United States, once you make your debut, acting in action movies can easily determine your development direction.

The most important thing is that if Chen Yu, as a world-class boxing champion, continues to fight and kill on the big screen, the audience will suffer from aesthetic fatigue.

Moreover, the "transformation problem" is a difficult matter whether in Europe, America or China.

Therefore, both Chen Yu and Emmanuel strive not to be exposed to action movies too early or too much.

Reba curled her lips and took out a wrinkled and smelly thong from the armrest of the sofa and put it into a sealed bag, intending to throw it away soon.

"Then you will decline the third and fourth parts of "John Wick"?" Reba took the adhesive tube in her hand and glued the mini single sofa very carefully.

In fact, Reba really wants to see Chen Yu pretending to be cool in the "John Wick" series.

"Knives Out" will start shooting in mid-April and will be completed in late July.

If I don't get another job by then, it won't be too late to join the crew of the fourth "John Wick" movie.

Anyway, Chen Yu used "John Wick" as a substitute.

"My mother wants us to go back to Wangjing Jinmao Mansion for dinner tomorrow night. If she asks about having a baby then, just look at my eyes and say something."

Reba took off her rubber gloves and pointed at her bright eyes.

Recently, Reba's father has been extremely focused on urging Reba to have a baby.

The line "You and Xiao Yu have a girl, and Tong Ji's grandson will be a [licking dog]" is a line that must be said every time she calls Reba.

　3082, I hope everyone can interact more and ask for further reading.
