Chapter 466 The Director's Invitation

After Jiang Youyou finished yelling, Ning Yuan and the others saw that the girl quickly squeezed through the crowd, and at first they didn't pay attention to who she was calling until they saw her enter a stall selling beef noodle not far from here .

Then, Jiang Youyou came to a middle-aged man.

Although the distance was not far, the light tubes on this side were flickering, and Ning Yuan didn't recognize it at first, but when the lights turned on again, Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Er Dongsheng?
Thinking of Jiang Youyou's voice of Uncle Dong just now, Ning Yuan can confirm that it should be him.

Although Ning Yuan didn't recognize him at first, Jiang Youyou was different. They both belonged to a film family, and Jiang Youyou called him Uncle Dong. Obviously, the relationship between the two families was very close, so Jiang Youyou recognized him at a glance.

It was a coincidence.

Because Jiang Youyou was still telling them just now, what movies have been filmed here in Temple Street, apart from Young and Dangerous and Zhou Xingchi's God of Cookery, "New Love" is the most famous.

And "New Unstoppable Love" is not like those two films, it is completely shot here as the main scene.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

This movie is Er Dongsheng's masterpiece - it's just a director's career.

If counted by actors, Er Dongsheng, who was born in 57, became popular with the movies "The Sword of the Three Young Masters" and "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" successively when he was 20 years old. He was the number one male at that time.

When Er Dongsheng was young, it is not an exaggeration to say that his face is like a crown of jade and a jade tree facing the wind. If you describe it as an actor at this time, it is estimated that only Gu Tianle can compare, and Er Dongsheng is more than 1.8 meters tall.

"New Unstoppable Love" is director Er Dongsheng's masterpiece, as for the famous work... It is quite hateful to say it, but he is not as rough as other directors. In 86, he directed the first "The Story of Mad Men" Won tens of millions of box office.

The box office champion of the year, "The True Colors of Heroes", was the only one to break through 3000 million, and "Happy Ghost", which ranked tenth, fell to 500 million.

This female work directed by Er Dongsheng not only won tens of millions of boxes at the box office, but also won the Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor and Best Art in the Hong Kong Film Awards the following year. Nominated, although in the end only his eldest brother Qin Pei won the Best Supporting Actor for the role of Ah Quan, it still caused a sensation.

After all, Er Dongsheng was less than thirty this year.

It is worth mentioning that in this movie, Fa Ge, who has just become popular, and Wei Zai, who is just a fledgling, both play supporting roles in it, and like his elder brother Qin Pei, the three play three mentally ill patients. Needless to say, I suffered a lot.

As for "New Unstoppable Love" in 93, although Er Dongsheng already had many masterpieces at that time, when he proposed to make this film he created-the female work "The Story of Epilepsy" was also his own. The screenwriter proved his talent, but the company hesitated for a long time, and finally rejected it.

Not only refused, the company also advised him not to shoot, because he felt that he would lose money if he was too unpopular.

But Er Dongsheng is a bit like Ang Lee. He has full confidence in his own works, and he will not turn back if he does not hit the wall. No one invests, so he set up his own company to shoot.

As a result... this movie earned more than 3000 million box office as soon as it was released. As a clean stream among countless blockbusters, it ranked third after "Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance" and "Happy Events in the Flower Field" that year.

You know, this year is definitely a blockbuster lineup. After "New Love", "City Hunter", "Fang Shiyu", "Huang Feihong Lion King", "Serious Crime Squad", "Play Back to School", "Fang Shiyu" "Sequel" and "East Makes West" lined up, with the lowest box office of 200 million.

Among them, two by Zhou Xingchi, two by Cheng Long, and three by Li Lianjie, the three of them alone accounted for [-]%.

And "New Unstoppable Love", Leng is to kill a bloody road in it, and it is also the only tragedy.

Let alone the tragedy, Liu Qingyun and Yuan Yongyi, who starred in the film, were not well-known at the time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are newcomers, let alone their appeal.

Not to mention the box office hit, the awards are even more smashing all the way - in addition to getting six nominations for the Golden Horse Awards that year, there were twelve nominations for the Academy Awards the following year.

In the end, "New Love" won six awards including Best Picture, Actress, Director, Screenwriter, Actor, and Female Supporting. The news at that time was directly described as shocking.

Not only that, Yuan Yongyi got rid of the vase with this, and Liu Qingyun also successfully transformed from TV series to movies, starting his future road to actor.

After that, Er Dongsheng directed "Chariots of Fire" for the first time in a commercial film, and won another 300 million at the box office, ranking fourth that year.

If we compare novels, such a man is probably the protagonist of the era. He is tall, handsome, talented, and rich in money. Pei and David Jiang were equally famous.

"Ning Yuan!"

When Ning Yuan was in a trance, he heard Jiang Youyou calling him, raised his head, and saw Jiang Youyou still waving vigorously.

When he came to the front, Er Dongsheng stood up and stretched out his hand before Ning Yuan greeted him: "Ning Yuan, hello."

This time, Ning Yuan was really flattered, because he didn't expect this person to know him at all. Of course, it might be Jiang Youyou who just told him.

Ning Yuan quickly stretched out his hands:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Er, hello."

Er Dongsheng at this time, although 45 years old, normally speaking, would not have gray temples like him. Obviously, running a company, managing money, writing and filming, is quite laborious.

Maybe today is relatively free. Er Dongsheng didn't wear too formally, just a black T-shirt and big pants. This is why he was not recognized by Ning Yuan at first. After all, he appeared in front of the camera before, mostly in suits and leather shoes. , no matter how bad it is, it is a shirt.

They are about the same height, but Er Dong is fatter, standing there like a wall, although his smile is warm, but still has a certain momentum.

For Ning Yuan to know himself, Er Dongsheng is not surprised. The most popular seven 80s, his popularity is not lower than the current Gu Tianle, and he may have been used to it for a long time.

Er Dongsheng smiled and stretched out his other hand to pat Ning Yuan's back, then shook hands with Liu Ye and the others one by one.

It wasn't until this moment that Meng Hui and the others recognized Er Dongsheng, and they were even more surprised than Ning Yuan, especially Meng Hui and his wife, as if they had met idols, with small flames in their eyes.

Although Temple Street was crowded with people, Er Dongsheng was sitting in the corner. After they passed by, they turned their backs to the outside. Although some people glanced curiously, they didn't care.

"Uncle Dong said he just finished watching our play, and he also came over to eat something, what a coincidence." Jiang Youyou laughed.

At this time, Ning Yuan realized that it might not be Jiang Youyou who told him that he knew himself, but just watched a drama.

Except for Shen De, Cui Da is Ning Yuan's original appearance.

But just after the performance, I chatted with Jiang Youyou, and learned from her which big names and stars were coming tonight, but I didn't hear Er Dongsheng's name.

Apparently, he came and left in a low-key way, didn't drive, and walked all the way to Temple Street in a T-shirt and big pants, eating a bowl of beef noodle, satisfied.

He may be more than 40 years old, and he has had the highlights and brilliance of his life. Now he is no longer just climbing, but also begins to live a contented life without worrying about the outside eyes.

It can also be seen from his figure and clothes that he gave up image management, so he still has the chic appearance of Yushu Linfeng, but the calm and comfortable look on his face cannot be concealed.

It is also possible that when he looked in the mirror, he saw gray temples, and knew that he had to start taking care of his body and stop working as hard as before.

However, everyone's stage of life is different, and their pursuits are also different. Ning Yuan is still halfway up the mountain. Although even if he stops, the money he earns will be enough to spend the rest of his life, but he still wants to go up to see the scenery.

Maybe when he reaches this level, he will slow down and appreciate the wonderful things he missed before.

"The adaptation is not bad, and the acting is also very touching. Today is not in vain." Er Dongsheng smiled at Ning Yuan and the others.

"Uncle Dong, stop praising him, it will be even more futile." Jiang Youyou glanced at Ning Yuan next to him, and smiled at Er Dongsheng.

This time Ning Yuan didn't refute. Facing Er Dongsheng's compliment, he was a bit fake in his modesty, and seemed arrogant in his promise, but Jiang Youyou's joke was easily resolved.

After Jiang Youyou said it, Ning Yuan laughed and said, "It's a very face-saving thing to be praised by Director Er, but it's a pity that I didn't bring a camera, or I would really have to record it."

"Haha." Er Dongsheng was amused, Jiang Youyou gave Ning Yuan a white look, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Since you're here, you must be hungry too. The beef noodle here is pretty good, do you want to try it?" Er Dongsheng asked.

Jiang Youyou didn't answer immediately, but turned to Meng Hui and the others:

"what do y'all think?"

Although she didn't ask Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan didn't care, this chick was used to targeting herself, but she was very polite to Meng Hui and the others.

Of course they have no objection. They never thought about getting in close contact with Er Dongsheng before. In the 80s, they watched Xiangjiang's movies and TV series.

Although Meng Hui's wife Liao Mei and a few others don't eat beef noodles, there are other foods such as beef noodles.

Jiang Youyou said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, you can order food from other stalls and bring it over, but they must be busy at the moment, if they usually deliver it."

That's even better.

When Ning Yuan and the others came, Er Dongsheng had almost finished eating, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and sat down to chat with them casually.

"You should have finished it a long time ago, why are you finishing it now?" Jiang Youyou asked curiously.

"Walking all the way, I haven't been here for a long time, so I went around and chatted with the stalls I was familiar with when I was filming for a while, and then I came here." Er Dongsheng explained.

"No wonder." Jiang Youyou was stunned.

Er Dongsheng has just finished watching the play. Although he is a famous director, actor, and screenwriter, as an audience today, he became interested in seeing the crew he likes, and talked a lot with Ning Yuan and Meng Hui.

Meng Hui and the others also took the opportunity to ask for a lot of experience, and Er Dongsheng also responded with a smile.

"I had a very happy chat today. I am more optimistic about you all. I will make a new movie later. If there is a suitable role, I hope you will not refuse."

Er Dongsheng not only told Ning Yuan, but also several other actors such as Liu Ye.
