Magic Modified Huayu

Jackie Chan nodded.

Bole Datiantian was very proud because he discovered this talented horse himself.

I also pushed it myself.

This may be the sense of accomplishment for angel investors.

"Brother Long, that's not all. Have you paid attention to the second work directed by Wei Jun?"

Jackie Chan shook his head: "I don't watch TV dramas, but I know that the TV dramas directed by Director Wei are very popular."

Da Tiantian explained: “It’s not very popular, it’s very popular.

"Beijing Love Story" directed by Wei Jun is the drama of this year, and it has made the heroine the most popular female star of the year.

Brother Long, do you know what this means? Wei Jun's first TV drama has already made him a star in the TV industry."

When Jackie Chan heard what Da Tiantian said, he was finally moved.

He really doesn't like TV dramas.

But he couldn't help but look down on the number one TV drama director.

The number one in any industry is respected, and Jackie Chan is no exception.

"'The Great Lion' is director Wei Jun's third film."

Da Tiantian continued to praise Wei Jun: "With Wei Jun's current upward trend, Wei Jun said that his next movie will break the box office record of Huayu Film. I have full confidence in him.

A new king is about to be established. In my opinion, Wei Jun is the future leader of the Chinese film industry. He will become a monumental director."

Wei Jun's face turned red because of Da Tiantian's flattery.

With a light cough, Wei Jun interrupted Da Tiantian's flattery: "Tiantian, stop flattering me. I'm going to swell up if you keep flattering me."

Although I know I'm very good, this is too much.

Jackie Chan also felt that Da Tiantian was praising Wei Jun too much.

But he was indeed persuaded by Da Tiantian.

Wei Jun’s battle record is still very convincing.

Judging from the growth curve, Wei Jun is obviously on the rise.

And Da Tiantian is the sponsor.

You have to listen to what the financial sponsor says.

Even though he now has the qualifications to bully other stores because of his big customer base, he may be bullying other stores.

He can't bully Da Tiantian because of her background.

Jackie Chan picked up Wei Jun's script again and read it, then made a decision.

"Okay, let's shoot it according to Director Wei's version, but it will be hard to find foreign actors this way."

Jackie Chan said.

Both the original version of "The Great Swordsman" and the modified version by Wei Jun require foreign actors.

Because both versions are about stories set in the Western Regions.

Since it is set in the Western Regions, of course we have to find foreigners to perform.

It's not impossible to find Chinese actors to act, but that's the choice of small crews, and they would only do that if they have no money.

A true blockbuster must strive for excellence and strive to keep the audience in the show.

However, the modified version by Wei Jun is very disadvantageous to foreign races.

It is completely praising the Han army.

Foreigners are not masochists, so they certainly don't want to take on roles that humiliate themselves.

Therefore, Jackie Chan’s previous worries were justified, and he was not deliberately making things difficult for Wei Jun.

Even Wei Jun couldn't solve this problem.

But there are people who can solve it.

Wei Jun looked at Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian patted her chest and assured, "The actors are not a problem. Wei Jun, tell me which foreign actor you need and I will find them for you."

Foreigners definitely don't love China.

But they love money.

As long as they love money, Da Tiantian can cure them.

After hearing Da Tiantian's domineering declaration, Jackie Chan decided to quietly be a salted fish.

It feels really relaxing to have a generous financial backer.

Wei Jun also felt very relaxed.

“Foreign actors are all supporting roles, which are not really important. I don’t have high expectations for them, as long as they have decent acting skills.

Let Brother Long choose one, just make sure it's not too ugly."

Wei Jundao.

Jackie Chan did not refuse.

He also realized that after Wei Jun modified the script, the foreigners were indeed all supporting roles.

Wei Jun only exaggerated their strength, but did not describe their individuals in detail and in depth.

Because the focus of Wei Jun's modified script is on the Han army.

In this case, it’s not difficult to find anyone as a foreign actor.

After chatting with Wei Jun about the preparations for the crew, Jackie Chan chose to say goodbye.

According to Wei Jun, the crew should be set up as soon as possible and then go to the northwest to shoot, preferably during next summer vacation.

Time is short and he has to get busy.

After Jackie Chan left, Da Tiantian also relaxed and slumped in her chair, saying to Wei Jun, "Wei Jun, your script is really well written. It's much better than Jackie Chan's original version."

Wei Jun was not modest and chuckled, "That script was so bad, I definitely can't write worse than it."

The original plot of "The Blade of the Dragon" is as follows: Jackie Chan plays Huo An, an orphan from the Western Regions adopted by the god of war Huo Qubing, and later becomes the Grand Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate.

He was framed by treacherous officials and demoted to Yanmen Pass.

At the same time, a Roman army wandered here from faraway Europe and inevitably had friction with the Han army.

The commander of this army, Lucius, was guarding a young Roman prince who might ascend the throne in the future and was therefore blinded by being poisoned by his brother Thebes.

The battle between the Roman and Han armies outside the city was abruptly stopped by the arrival of a sandstorm.

Huo An took the initiative to invite the Roman army to lay down their weapons and take refuge in the city, and the two sides established a deep friendship.

But soon afterwards, Tiberius arrived with a large army to wipe out the enemy completely, and Huo An was betrayed by his own generals.

Outside Yanmen Pass, warriors from various tribes in the Western Regions united with Lucius's subordinates and launched a just battle with Tibes that changed the course of world history...The above is the main plot of "The Great Lion".

A very ordinary and mediocre story.

The story is mediocre enough, and the script is even worse.

Da Tiantian also thinks that the script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is poorly written.

"The original draft of the script for 'The Blade of Legends' had too explicit dialogue and was too slow-paced.

And the love scenes, what the hell, a Xiongnu girl who I only met once took off her clothes in front of Huo An, Long Ge is already sixty years old, how can he still have such charm. "

Da Tiantian complained.

Glancing at Wei Jun, Da Tiantian added, "It would be almost the same if you played Huo An."

Wei Jun smiled: "Tiantian, even if you flatter me again, I won't add any drama to your play."

As wise as he is, he saw through the truth that Da Tiantian was flattering him at a glance.

But it is impossible to add more scenes.

The overall quality of the script cannot be undermined.

Da Tiantian pouted but didn't insist.

"If you don't want to add it, then don't add it. The current script is already very good. It's better than the original one."

Da Tiantian said: "In the original script, a group of Romans sang the national anthem with tears in their eyes. It was too awkward."

Wei Jun nodded: "It is indeed very awkward, and Huo An's character is too unpleasant."

In the script of "The Great Lion", Huo An is the Grand Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate and also the adopted son of Huo Qubing.

Who is Huo Qubing?

That is the Han God of War.

A military god who has taken the art of fighting to support war to the extreme.

In the Western Regions, Huo Qubing was never a guardian, but a killing god.

Wherever Champion Hou goes, death follows him like a shadow.

But Huo An, who was raised by Huo Qubing, was a thorough pacifist.

The army's mission is war, but Huo An always loves peace.

He treated all countries in the Western Regions equally, never killed innocent people, loved public speaking, and often promoted the idea of ​​universal peace.

The key is that he is not putting on a show, but really believes it.

This is such an insult to the audience's intelligence.

Such a person is not qualified to be the Grand Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.

It's such an embarrassment to Huo Qubing.

Jackie Chan actually thinks this kind of character setting is good... Many veteran stars have indeed failed to keep up with the times.

Da Tiantian felt that Wei Jun was right: "Your script is still true, not preachy at all. Brother Long's original script was too preachy."

Wei Jun glanced at Da Tiantian and said seriously, "My script is not written by me, but is based on real events in history."

It’s just that you read too little and Jackie Chan read too little.

So you don't know at all.

If you want to film the affairs of the Han people, why bother to invent a mediocre story?

The Han Dynasty has countless achievements to sing praises of.

Wei Jun overturned the entire script of "The Great Lion", replacing everything from the time background to the protagonist.

The timeline of Wei Jun's script is the first year of Jianchu of Emperor Zhang of Han, 75 AD.

The background is that Emperor Zhang of Han withdrew the Han army from the Western Regions, leaving only Geng Gong and Guan Chong each leading hundreds of people to garrison Jinpu City and Liuzhong City.

After the main force of the Han army retreated, the Xiongnu Chanyu, unwilling to accept defeat, gathered tens of thousands of troops to seize the Western Regions.

Faced with tens of thousands of enemy troops, Geng Gong decided to defend Jinpu City and the dignity of the Han warriors with the spirit of dying rather than living.

He used poison arrows and night attacks to defeat the Huns time and time again, killing and wounding the enemy, and finally forced the Huns to lift the siege and leave.

Geng Gong also took the opportunity to retreat to Shule City, which was more suitable for defense.

In July 75 AD, the Huns surrounded Shule City again, but failed to capture it after a long siege, so they cut off the water supply to Shule City.

Without water, people can't survive for more than a few days.

The water in the city was soon used up, so Geng Gong led the Han army to dig a well. However, after digging 15 meters deep, there was still not a drop of water.

Geng Gong straightened his clothes and knelt down, praying to God to bless the Han soldiers. Perhaps it was God who moved him, or perhaps it was because the underground water had to gather slowly before it could flow out. After he prayed, water gushed out of the well, and the Han army shouted "Long live the Han army" as if they had divine help.

The Xiongnu army was greatly alarmed, thinking that the Han army had divine help, so they withdrew the siege and attacked the Cheshi Kingdom, which had surrendered to the Han Dynasty. The Cheshi Kingdom was defeated and fell to the Xiongnu again.

In September, the joint forces of the Xiongnu and the Cheshi Kingdom surrounded Shule City again.

The queen of the Cheshi Kingdom was a Han Chinese. She secretly provided food to Shule City many times and revealed the military plan of the Xiongnu and Cheshi Kingdom coalition forces to Geng Gong, which enabled the city to hold on.

However, the secretly supplied food was sometimes available and sometimes not. When there was no food, Geng Gong led his soldiers to dig mice and catch insects to satisfy their hunger. After eating the living things, everyone began to cook leather armor and bowstrings.
