Chapter 59 [Filming "Rush Hour" in advance? You guys are really good at judging people! ] 059 monthly tickets + more requests for follow-up reading
"Have!"

Seeing that Li Yishu was going to design it herself, Xu Ke immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen.

Li Yishu found a seat and sat down, then began to write quickly. Gong Li and Xu Ke both came up behind him curiously.

"Pfft-"

Gong Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

She is an actress, so naturally she would have associations. So after seeing a certain passage written by Li Yishu, combined with the visual sense, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before Xu Ke became a martial arts film master, he basically made comedies in the 1980s. He could tell at a glance that if the scene written by Li Yishu was filmed, the picture would be very vivid, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"I didn't expect Director Li to have a talent for comedy."

"It's OK, but I don't know if Brother Cheng Long can play this role?"

Secretary Li Yi remembered that Cheng Long seemed to have said that he never played a villain, although this character was not a bad guy.

Tsui Hark smiled and said, "No problem, this is a comedy."

"Then call Dasha and Ji to come over and take a look?"

"No need, anyway, just act fiercely, they are most familiar with it, it's just..."

Xu Ke couldn't help but look at Gong Li.

Gong Li smiled and said, "No problem for me. This role is quite interesting. I have never played it before. But this dress doesn't seem to be suitable for me."

"It's okay, it's okay. There are matching clothes in the dressing room over there. Miss Gong Li, go and see if there is anything suitable for you. I'll call someone to take you. Xiu'e, come and take Miss Gong to put on makeup and change clothes."

Soon, a female makeup artist came running over, and Gong Li followed her to the dressing room.

Xu Ke looked him up and down and said, "Director Li's outfit is fine, a suit and tie, but he still needs to put on some makeup."

"All is fine." Li Yishu smiled. The gentlemanly villain was quite interesting.

Soon, Cheng Long arrived. He extended his hand politely and said, "Hello, Director Li. I've heard that there is a talented director in the mainland who won a European award. Today I see that he is indeed a young and promising talent."

Looking at the familiar face of Jackie Chan, who is not yet 40 years old, Li Yishu said with emotion: "Brother Jackie Chan, you are too polite. I grew up watching your movies. I would like to work with you again if there is a chance in the future."

He probably didn’t expect how smoothly his career would develop in the next few years. He became famous all the way from Hong Kong to Hollywood, and "Rush Hour" created his influence in the international market.

Cheng Long readily agreed: "Haha, no problem. Come to think of it, I've always wanted to make an art film."

Hearing this, Li Yishu smiled. It seems that most Hong Kong and Taiwan artists' impression of him is that of a "literary director".

Fairy tales, martial arts, science fiction, crime, action... Li Yishu has filmed them all, after all, the themes of online movies are truly all-encompassing.

"Brother Long, this is a short script that Director Li just wrote. See if you can play this role."

Xu Ke took out the paper and Cheng Long took it. Although it was in simplified Chinese, he could still recognize it. He quickly scanned it and suddenly laughed out loud: "I didn't expect Director Li to have a talent for comedy. It seems that if there is a chance in the future, we must work together."

"Okay, I can't ask for it!"

Li Yishu will definitely make commercial films in the future. The era of domestic commercial films is too far away, so if she wants to make a commercial film in the next ten years, it will either be from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Hollywood.

Jackie Chan is going to enter the Hollywood market again in the next few years.

After Jackie Chan becomes somewhat famous after filming "Rumble in the Bronx" there, perhaps Lee Yi-shu can come up with "Rush Hour" in advance, which can not only honor Jackie Chan's status as an international superstar, but also highlight his ability as a director in the commercial film field.

"Just Brother Cheng Long, is this role okay?"

"No problem, I'll play myself. I always like working with great directors."

As they were chatting, Li Yishu also called over Dasha and Ji.

Both of them are Hong Kong's golden supporting actors whom he likes very much.

Especially Dasha Ge, he really performed the perfect combination of stupidity and ferocity.

Just then, Gong Li, dressed sexy, walked out of the dressing room.

"How about it, Director Li? Is this look of mine okay?"

Hearing the noise, several people turned around to look. They saw Gong Li with long black wavy hair casually hanging on her shoulders and a tight black dress that perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure.

The thin silk shawl flutters gently in the breeze, and the faint white at the collar adds a bit of sexiness and charm.

"Pretty!"

It was the first time that Li Yishu saw Gong Li dressed like this, but she had to admit that Gong Li was really suitable for this kind of charming and sexy yet dignified and elegant look.

"Wow~"

Fang Shilong's eyes lit up, but he glanced at Li Yishu and gave up the idea. He smiled and said, "Director Li, you are not tempted by this beautiful woman next to you?"

"Yeah, Yishu."

Gong Li walked over in her high heels, and said charmingly, "Are you really unwilling?"

Li Yishu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Sister Gong Li, stop teasing me and hurry up to shoot the movie. Brother Cheng Long has to catch a plane later."

"The first scene, the first act..."

"action!"

In the distance, Xu Ke was looking intently at the people in the field.

Cheng Long, along with Dasha, Ji Ge, and Gong Li, walked over in a swagger.

Cheng Long came straight to sit next to Li Yishu and said casually, "Director Li, I heard that your new movie won an award abroad?"

Li Yishu glanced at him and continued eating in silence.

Cheng Long continued with a smile: "I want to ask you to make a movie, a comedy action movie."

“Sorry, I don’t know how to take pictures.”

"You can't act? Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that your award-winning movies are so good. How can you not act in such a simple comedy action movie?"

Cheng Long stood up and walked behind Director Li, patted him on the shoulder and said, "See? As long as you agree to help me film, she will be yours."

Gong Li smiled and seductively came to sit next to Li Yishu, hugged his arms with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Director Li, can I be the heroine?"

Li Yishu glanced at Gong Li without changing his expression, then pushed her away and said seriously:

"I'm sorry, the education I received since childhood does not support me doing this kind of thing. You have chosen the wrong person."

Cheng Long raised his eyebrows and waved to Dasha and Ji Ge. The two took out two black suitcases, opened them with a click, and stacks of US dollars came out.

Li Yishu looked at the money, then at Cheng Long. Her eyes began to become angry. She clenched her teeth, and suddenly a flattering smile appeared on her face: "You are really good at judging people!"

"Pfft-"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Gong Li, who was sitting next to Li Yishu, suddenly burst into laughter.

It was because she was watching Li Yishu's expressions and movements the whole time, and she couldn't help herself when she saw that his originally serious and righteous look suddenly changed his expression.

Li Yishu looked at her and laughed until she was out of breath. Is it really that funny?

"Cut! This one is considered passed."

Xu Ke didn't care about Gong Li's sudden laughter. When he was filming comedies in the past, it was very common for actors to laugh during filming.

Moreover, this is a nonsensical comedy movie, so it’s okay to have some laughing scenes, as it’s just for fun.

"Director Li, I have a plane to catch so I'm leaving now. We must work together on a film if we have the chance in the future."

Although Cheng Long had read the script, the effect of the on-site shooting was still very good, which made him more eager to cooperate with the other party.

Li Yishu stood up, smiled and shook hands with the other party and said goodbye: "There will definitely be a chance!"
