Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 85 [Coward! Director Chen is offline?] Please read
"I thought I had learned it wrong before, thinking that Du Fu did not write this poem after he went to Sichuan."

Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Yishu's previous words were a joke. After all, his interpretation was very different from what she had learned.

"Du Fu's 'Song of the Thatched Cottage Destroyed by the Autumn Wind' was written in Sichuan and Shu. We also have a Du Fu Thatched Cottage there."

Li Yishu nodded and said, "I have been traveling in Kyoto for twenty years, and I have nowhere to live in poverty. Bai Juyi pursued a house all his life, and the great poet Du Fu could only live in a thatched house in his later years. After our market economy is liberalized, you can imagine how terrible the housing prices will be in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you and buy you a house with a yard later."

Gong Li recalled the difference between when she first started studying at Yenching University and now. In just a few years, housing prices have increased a lot.

Buying a house early will definitely not hurt you in the future.

A few years ago, people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan were considered a nobody, but now people with a monthly income of 1 million yuan are not uncommon.

The streets are filled with Santanas, Mercedes-Benzes, Toyotas, and Cadillacs worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

"By the way, Yishu, you mentioned the martial arts style thing before, what type do you think is suitable for me?"

Gong Li hasn't watched many martial arts films, so she doesn't really know much about the style.

"The style of Swordsman should be more suitable for you."

Li Yishu thought about it and still felt that the only type of martial arts film with a sense of elegance was suitable for Gong Li.

The style of "The Swordsman from Double Flag Town" is not suitable for Gong Li. That film is more like a western film disguised as a martial arts film. Including the later "Swordsman" starring Zhao Wenzhuo, both have a strong western color of personal heroism.

The fighting scenes are all done with real swords and guns.

The hard-core style of "One-Armed Swordsman" is a bit behind the times, or the audience is tired of it.

Only Xu Ke's "Swordsman" can fully display the elegance of the heroes in martial arts novels, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the world of martial arts where people travel the world with swords and fight for justice.

"Swordsman? Doesn't that require suspension on wires?" Gong Li frowned. She had been suspended on wires before when filming God of Gamblers 2 and it felt very uncomfortable and strangled.

"It must be done with wires. If not, the effect won't come out."

Li Yishu said seriously, "Sister Gong Li, if you really want to make a martial arts film, I will write the script during this period, and then ask Sister Xu to work with you again. She started out making martial arts films and knows many famous martial arts instructors in Hong Kong."

“Then shoot!”

Gong Li gritted her teeth and said: "In order to transform, I have to shoot! And with you shooting, I can feel more confident and bold!"

"Then shoot."

Li Yishu smiled and thought about what kind of martial arts film to make.

First of all, it must be a drama with a strong female lead and cannot steal the limelight from Gong Li. Secondly, it must be elegant. The most suitable one is probably "Sword Rain", a martial arts film with a strong female lead and the action is also elegant.

After chatting about the preparations for a while, Gong Li stood up and said, "Yishu, sit down for a while. I'm going to take a shower. I smell like alcohol."

Li Yishu blinked and stared at Gong Li.

"Just kidding, are you really afraid that I will eat you?"

Seeing Li Yishu staring at her, Gong Li laughed.

Hearing this, Li Yishu raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not afraid of being eaten, but I'm afraid that Gong Li won't be able to eat enough."

"You're making fun of me, right?"

They are not children anymore. Gong Li said in irritation, "Alright, let's go back quickly. It's getting late."

"Haha, look, look, I'm so anxious!"

Li Yishu laughed out loud. He could see that Gong Li was the master of talking. If you were weak, she would be strong, and if you were strong, she would be weak. "Who, who is anxious? I'm going to take a shower now!"

Gong Li snorted, turned and walked towards the bathroom without even closing the door.

The house was not big to begin with, and the living room was even smaller. From Li Yishu's angle, she could just see Gong Li inside.

Although it was April, it was still windy in Yanjing at night, so Gong Li wore a thin beige windbreaker, which she has now taken off, revealing the black long-sleeved undershirt underneath.

I don’t know if it’s because of the slim fit or because Gong Li has such a good figure, but at this moment, the classic poem popped into Li Yishu’s mind: When you look at a mountain from the side, it looks like a mountain peak; when you look at it from the front, it looks like a mountain peak.

Gong Li grabbed the corner of the clothes with both hands and slowly lifted it up.

Just when she was halfway through, she subconsciously looked towards the living room and saw Li Yishu staring at her with no intention of avoiding her. Her face turned red, but she finally gritted her teeth and took it off.

Black package, two words: big! White!

Seeing that she couldn't be forced to leave, Gong Li gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really want to keep watching?"

"Ahem, well... Sister Gong Li, I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you later when the script is out."

After saying this, Li Yishu quickly opened the door and left.

As soon as Gong Li walked out, she saw the door slam shut.

"You run pretty fast, you coward~"

Turning back to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror, Gong Li recalled Li Yishu's straight gaze just now. She straightened her body subconsciously, then shook her head and started pouring hot water to take a bath.

The next night.

The crew of "Farewell My Concubine" contacted all the main creative teams, including behind-the-scenes workers, and held a grand wrap-up party.

At the wrap party, Xu Suo even shed tears and talked about the time and energy he had spent over the years to film this story. He also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Li Yishu.

In the past two months, she has been following the crew almost all the time.

Although I have never been a director, from the perspective of an outsider, I can basically confirm that this is an excellent film.

In fact, the director and actors have a general idea of ​​whether a movie is good or not when they are filming.

It’s hard to say whether it will win an award, but it is definitely an excellent movie.

"Director Chen hasn't finished filming yet?"

Li Yishu heard Gong Li's words and was surprised: "Didn't they start preparing at the end of last year? How come they haven't started filming yet?"

It’s been almost half a year since Brother Chen Kai returned to China last October, and the filming hasn’t started yet?
"It turned on, but then it stopped again."

Gong Li also found it very funny: "Originally, Chen Kai chose Xie Yuan as the male lead, but for some reason, after more than a month of filming, he suddenly had a big quarrel with Xie Yuan. After the crew stopped filming, Xie Yuan also left directly. Later, they announced to the public that Xie Yuan was not suitable and they were going to find someone else to shoot the film."

"Xie Yuan is not suitable, so why did he look for Xie Yuan in the first place?"

Li Yishu frowned. Xie Yuan can be said to be a very representative male actor in the 1980s. He has played the rural teacher "Lao Gan" in "The King of Children" and the Yanjing youth Wang Yisheng nicknamed "Chess Idiot" in "The Chess King".

Moreover, he has a history of working with Brother Chen Kai, so if he said that his image was not suitable, he would definitely not have considered him for the role.

Gong Li shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, I heard people say that Xie Yuan seemed to be dissatisfied with Chen Kai's adaptation of "Green Tree", and that's why they broke up."
