Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 148 I always feel a fire burning in my heart [Subscribe]

3 month 1 number.

There is already a hint of spring in the capital.

After meeting Chen Kun, Qin Hao and Deng in the office, Li Wenyu directly asked his secretary to distribute the scripts to the three of them one by one. In addition to the full script of "Dying to Survive", there were also individual scripts for each person.

"Akun, you've done a good job losing weight. I thought I'd give you another month."

Chen Kun excitedly waved his hands repeatedly, "How dare I? Director Li, if you ask me to act in a big project before the release of (Extreme Job), I will definitely work hard to lose weight."

The role that Lao Li recommended to A Kun was Lü Shouyi, a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia in the original version of "Dying to Survive".

This was before he wrote the script. He had already looked for many candidates, and he also considered Huang Xiaoming.

But Xiao Ming was immersed in the English language context, and his sudden weight loss or weight gain affected the filming of "The Big Bang Theory", so he was useless.

The time series also has its own schedule, such as the male lead Deng Guiguai.

Not only can he keep up with his acting skills, he also needs to lose weight rapidly.

This opportunity fell to A Kun. At that time, he didn't mention any specific project, but only said that you have lost more than ten pounds and are super thin, and he wants you to play an important supporting role in a new movie.

Chen Kun agreed.

Now he is much thinner than when he was in the Golden Age.

Li Wenyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, you guys read the script. I need to watch the show later. Once we confirm it, we can talk about the actual start date."

"That role of yours also requires acting skills. Think carefully about it. This will be your masterpiece in the film industry."

Deng Yao plays Huang Mao's fellow patient Peng Hao.

When he looked at Qin Hao, Qin Hao smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, Director Li, I will do my best and will not let you down."

This is Qin Hao, who never puts himself in a difficult position, claims to accept films as they come, and will never act in a bad film!
The most representative work of the dark history in my career should be "I Am Queen" directed by Yi Nengjing.

That is the representative work of the director Qin Hao wanted to use unspoken rules.

Lao Li laughed and said, "I thought you wouldn't accept it before you saw the script."

Qin Hao's acting career is more casual and unrestrained, he is a second generation actor.

My father was one of those people who started his own business (the winning essay about my father, the district's top man), and my uncle was once the top man in the city.

The above mentioned generation has been three generations till my grandmother’s generation.

Qin Hao hurriedly smiled and said, "How is that possible? I followed Director Wang and only managed to get into Cannes at best. I wasn't even nominated for an acting award."

"Director Li, you are the first Chinese director to win an award. Let me take a look at the script. I will definitely not disappoint you with the performance."

After saying that, the three of them went out with their notebooks.

In the "Dying to Survive" project, Li Jiaxin will play the greasy middle-aged ex-wife played by Li Wenyu, and fly to the United States with her son.

Qin Hao plays Li Jiaxin's younger brother, the male protagonist's police officer brother-in-law.

These three are all talented actors, so there will definitely be no problem.

What Qin Hao said about following Director Wang to Cannes was the one in the original trajectory (Qinghong), but Da Meiyu didn't take the role, so the female lead of Qinghong was changed.

A few minutes after Old Li sat back at his desk, Li Jiaxin knocked on the door and came in. "Ah Yu, Escape Plan grossed 4100 million last week. Is the box office going to be pulled off the air?"

"Aren't you going to continue to strive for a higher record?"

In the previous week, "The Ex-Player" grossed 1800 million yuan at the box office, and the total in mainland China was 4.23 million yuan, so it is indeed going to be taken off the shelves.

The screening schedule is now given to "Extreme Escape" and "Infernal Affairs 2".

The total escape amount in the mainland is 1.84 million, and the total amount in the whole country is 3.23 million. The Harbour City has already fallen off the market.

Huang Xiaoming has returned to perform for Infernal Affairs 2.

Ah Xin wondered, "Should I continue the roadshow? I think I could break The Tuner's box office record in mainland China."

But since the release of "Extreme Job" is not extended to continue to accumulate more box office revenue, it doesn't seem to make much sense to aim for new numbers.

Lao Li thought about it and shook his head, "Let's not rush. You're also the second female lead in the new "Dying to Survive". Your record will be even higher."

Now that the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival box office is over, a single film in mainland China can gross over 6000 million in a single week.

As we enter the 2004 summer season, the number may become even larger.

There is no need to run so hard just for a few small records.

Li Jiaxin instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, then I won't run. I've been really tired lately. Let's just wait for the Medicine God to explode."

She also didn't quite understand whether a serious, realistic feature film like "Dying to Survive" could be a box office hit.

The theme of the whole story is a bit too heavy.

But Ah Xin definitely believes in Lao Li's vision.

…………

after an hour.

Li Wenyu let go of the mouse and asked his secretary to invite the three actors into the room before he began to review their performances.

The performance went smoothly. It was the first time I got to read the script, and I was able to achieve a passing level after just a quick glance.

All that’s left is to sign the script and role, go through the process, and wait for filming to start.

When he was about to go out, Qin Hao suddenly raised his hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Wenyu laughed, "Just tell me what you think."

When Chen Kun and Deng looked over, Lao Qin laughed awkwardly, "Director Li, if I could lose as much weight as Brother Kun, could I try to swap roles with him?"

There is no doubt that after reading the entire script, actors of similar level will all know that Lu Shouyi, who falls down at the slightest gust of wind and eventually dies of illness, is the best supporting role.

This challenge is extraordinary.

This is similar to Matthew McConaughey's plastic surgery-like acting in "Dallas Buyers Club".

Matthew also starred in (Dallas Buyers Club), (The Wolf of Wall Street) and (Interstellar) in similar years. Let's compare the images of these three characters.

It's basically hard to recognize that it's the same person.

Chen Kun got anxious on the spot, "You guys from the Central Academy of Drama, go play around, we're all from the 96 class, where do you get the confidence that you can act better than me?"

Deng, “…”

Lao Deng was a little jealous of the role of Lu Shouyi, but he instantly understood why he was just an ordinary patient, Huangmao Peng Hao.

He is the leading male character in Goblin, and his weight and figure cannot withstand such torture.

And even if Deng considers himself an actor, he, a level 98, has two years of training behind the other two.

Without waiting for Lao Li to say anything, Qin Hao turned around awkwardly and asked, "Can't I just leave?"

Such a touching and meaningful movie cannot be delayed for too long just to make him lose weight.

At this stage, a lot of news has spread, such as Xiao Ma Ge and Yang Zhu Ge both donated 1000 million yuan for charity and are helping with the review.

The end of Li Wenyu, the billionaire tycoon, was also a self-destructive act in his role as the leading male lead.

No profit at all, just for charity.

…………

A moment later, Qin Hao and the other two arrived at the underground parking lot and looked at each other.

Chen Kun was about to curse when Lao Qin said with emotion, "I never knew there was such a group. When Director Li listed the different prices of the island, South Korea, the United States, the local teams in Hong Kong and Macau, and our mainland."

“I always feel like there’s a fire burning in my heart.”

This is a heavy topic.

Deng scratched his head. "Should we do something?"

Chen Kun took out a few bottles of mineral water from his car and said, "Don't do anything else. Just play your role well, make sure the movie is released smoothly, and do more roadshows to attract more audiences to watch the movie."

"This is our greatest effort." Qin Hao, who had originally clenched his fists and was about to cause trouble, suddenly relaxed. "That's right, let's just do our job well."

If you really smash something or beat someone up out of anger, you'll be on the news.

This scandal has affected the progress of the film project and is the biggest drag and stain.

Feature films like "Dying to Survive" have certain comedic elements and plots that can make the audience laugh, but the overall tone is still very realistic and tragic.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon on March 3st, Li Wenyu was just about to leave the media company to check out Weibo when he received a report that Vice President Han of China Film Group had arrived.

Old Li stopped his journey and warmly welcomed Mr. Han.

After exchanging pleasantries, President Han said with a smile, "Director Li, you're not optimistic about Wu Yusen filming the Three Kingdoms? Red Cliff? He's even gone to China Film Group to beg for alms."

"Companies outside rejected him one after another, but he brought in a Japanese company, and the condition was that the Japanese actor played a key role in Red Cliff..."

Old Li was speechless.

Li Wenyu was in a daze for a few seconds before speaking, "As an outsider, I have a reason for not being optimistic about him. I'm afraid he'll turn Red Cliff into a Hong Kong movie about a land grab in Causeway Bay."

"I want a script. If it's qualified, then investing isn't a big deal, right?"

President Han was silent.

Isn't this why all the Chinese film and television groups outside rejected Lao Wu?
It is well known to the whole world how powerful Leo's screenwriting skills are. In Hollywood, Leo has shown his goodwill to Time more than once.

Li Wenyu conveyed through Wang Jing and Zhang Bozhi that the success of Mission: Impossible 2 was mainly due to Tom.

Put aside his record of directing Mission: Impossible 2.

Old Wu rarely succeeds, and even if he fails miserably, his investment resume is more brilliant.

After drinking a sip of tea in silence, Mr. Han smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I have some good news. Regarding the cinema market, your brother-in-law is borrowing money from the bank to expand his cinema."

"In your hometown city, and down to the county level, you need to open more than ten chain stores."

"After the news spread, Henan Province was in an uproar, and the news gradually spread to Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Qin, and Jiangsu."

"Oscar has taken off in Henan Province, and the New Century Cinema Chain in Shandong Province is also taking off."

A billionaire, suspected to be the brother-in-law of Lao Li, the richest man in mainland China in 2004, is running a cinema.

This is certainly the biggest boost for those who want to test the waters.

Li Wenyu smiled and sighed, "The 04 summer and Lunar New Year movie seasons were really worth looking forward to. My brother-in-law's family owned 49% of the cinemas, so it was a pretty easy and stable business."

The big promotion has led us to where we are now, but we don’t have much hope for 04.

But we can basically expect that in 05, the box office of a single film in a single week will exceed million RMB, which is a real super trend.

We chatted for a few more minutes, and when he got on the bus to Zhongguancun, he sighed, "Old Wu probably can't scam Chinese money anymore. Just don't let the island and South Korea get stuck in your pocket."

By the end of the conversation, Mr. Han’s intentions were clearly revealed.

He came here specifically to get some reassurance.

Gao Yuanyuan, who guest-starred as a part-time driver, was amused. "The more good blockbusters there are, the more prosperous the market will be. If there are too many bad movies, audiences will not be able to stand it and it will also damage the reputation."

"Anyway, I can't imagine how incongruous it would be to film a grand theme like the Three Kingdoms into a story about a Causeway Bay gang fighting over territory."

"Oh right, The Promise has been filming for almost six months. I heard it's almost finished."

"Yan Zi has already started crying and saying she wants to quit. The setting of the snow country, the gods, the flower armor, etc., is so magical that I can't understand it at all."

"It's so awkward for a barbarian leader to speak in Beijing dialect."

She was thankful for the series of rejections.

Otherwise, you'd really fall into the trap.

She heard that even Liu Yifei, a student at the Beijing Film Academy, had rejected her.

Old Li, “…”

It’s okay, The Promise is still as bad as ever. After all, it’s a script completely controlled by Kaizi. I just look forward to another Hu Yan rising with the help of short videos.

If this were to go to court, Time would definitely have to help.

What a sin! They have to force rice dumplings on the audience.

They did this when Hollywood was at its strongest, and they still did this after Hollywood destroyed itself, to the unfortunate audience.

……

In the next few days, Li Wenyu stayed in the central government to conduct interviews and organize meetings.

Leung Ka Fai came over to play an older man in makeup, playing Pastor Liu, a fellow patient in the TV series "Dying to Survive." And the fake drug dealer Zhang Changlin? Old Li mentioned the original actor, Wang Shuohui.

This Lao Wang is very awesome, but ordinary people in the film and television industry, including the audience, don’t know him.

But he has been in the industry for ten years now and has won the Wenhua Award for Best Actor in Drama, sponsored by the cultural department.

This is even more impressive than the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, so it was Deng who won the Best Actor award in "The Sun Also Rises", but Wang Shuohui's performance was also textbook.

Dong Li plays the role of Lu Shouyi's wife.

There are so many things, except for one boy and one girl, the young actors may need Li Wenyu to give them some help on the spot so that they can perform their best.

This is basically a cluster of powerful players at this stage.

The assistant director team he found had already set off to Baixiang in early March to scout the scenery, select the location, and plan the shooting schedule there.

We also need to invite some white elephant actors, including extras.

He arranged five teams of Chinese and Western medicine doctors for the team going to Baixiang, which made the assistant director a little nervous.

This matter spread throughout the Time Media system and beyond.

Everyone was a little dizzy. Of the less than 20 people on the departure team, five were doctors??!!
But countless people know that in order to find creative inspiration, Li Wenyu not only arranged for people to talk with the White Elephant people in Hong Kong Island for several months to collect materials.

He even went to Baixiang in person and stayed there for half a month.

Aren’t the five doctors accompanying the group just for show?

It was under such circumstances that on March 3th, the Waking of Insects, Li Wenyu was planning to go to Shanghai with a group, and Zhou Xingchi came to visit.

After exchanging pleasantries, he lit up a cigarette and took a puff. Ah Xing said with a smile, "Mr. Li, is Mrs. Li still in Kung Fu 2?"

"I feel like your Time's Medicine God project is a bit sudden. I personally have more than 40% of the script for Axing's lead role complete."

Two and a half months ago at the end of December, the Kung Fu male protagonist route was more than 12%.

Li Wenyu shook his head. "No more acting. Bingbing will die randomly in a cameo role, killed by the Japanese brutal massacre. You can choose the new female lead in the second part."

"Secondly, I have a suggestion for you. Extreme Profession has 4.23 million viewers in mainland China and 6.25 million viewers nationwide. You, the protagonist of Kung Fu 2, died heroically."

"It will definitely affect the third part. Being disabled or seriously injured is easier to save the third part than being sacrificed directly."

Zhou Xingchi took a deep breath and said, "I will take it seriously and consider it carefully."

The second part seriously injured the little boy, and then revealed the new protagonist. Since Fan Bingbing is not continuing, he can be the preacher and protector grandfather in the third part.

The next moment, Ah Xing smiled and said, "Then I will try Huang Shengyi as the new heroine in the second part?"

In her first beauty pageant, Huang Shengyi stood out in a mute girl's outfit and was recruited by internet trolls to participate in the overseas beauty pageant.

In 04, Xiao Huang just turned 21 years old, still fresh and young, and signed with Time.

Like Wang Luodan, after earning some money from advertising and starring in ordinary idol dramas, she was driven by Li Wenyu to the drama circle.

In order to get a box office of 1 or 2 billion, 2 or 3 billion, Stephen Chow was willing to take a loss in negotiating a 20% share with Columbia, and of course he didn't mind continuing to invest in the actress Time Actress.

This makes it easier for his company to make more money together.

Extreme Pro South Korea gets hundreds of millions in revenue from sharing!
