Chapter 1523 Old Monster Xu’s New Script

Xu Ke's appearance is not good-looking.

Compared to handsome guys like Tang Jili and Er Dongsheng who can act in idol dramas, he is completely the template for villain roles.

In fact, when Xu Ke was at Jiashi, in addition to his directing work, he often acted in some bad guy roles, and the effect was pretty good.

Now, with the support of Qilin Film, Xuke Studio has been established. Xuke, who should have been high-spirited, has a sad face, which makes him look even more ugly.

Yin Jun naturally knew that he was so anxious because he was not satisfied with the box office and reputation of "The Swordsman".

There are one hundred Hamlets in one hundred people's hearts.

In the hearts of a hundred people, there are also a hundred Linghu Chong.

Therefore, it is usually difficult for TV series adaptations like this to please everyone.

Although Jin Yong gave "The Swordsman" a score of 90 points, many people are actually still dissatisfied. They feel that Xu Ke's version of Linghu Chong simply cannot achieve that level of free and open-mindedness.

Li Lianjie is short and not handsome, which does not fit the setting of Linghu Chong.

Then there's the plot, which is a mess and almost half of it has been changed, which is also very unsatisfactory.

The box office of "The Swordsman" is actually very high. When it was released across Asia in late October, the total box office exceeded 400 million Hong Kong dollars. The European and American copyrights were also sold for 10 million US dollars, and the overall profit exceeded 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Under normal circumstances, "The Swordsman" can already compete for the top ten box office masterpieces this year, but in Xu Ke's opinion, he was dumb this time.

To be honest, Xu Ke himself felt that Yin Jun made a mistake this time.

First of all, of course, Hu Jinquan should not have been invited to film "The Swordsman". In Xu Ke's view, Hu Jinquan, his former idol, was completely out of touch with this era and could no longer be liked by the audiences of this era.

So in the end, even if Xu Ke personally edited the released version, it didn't have much effect. The whole movie still felt draggy, without the smooth flow and hearty feeling that Xu Ke had in mind.

Then Yin Jun’s choice of the protagonist is also wrong.

Li Lianjie is too short and does not have Linghu Chong's heroic aura. Although he is very powerful in fighting, he does not fit in with everyone's impression of Linghu Chong.

Of course, Xu Ke admired Li Lianjie who was both a martial arts practitioner and a serious actor. He felt that the lack of success this time was just because he didn't choose the right film that suited him.

Haven't you seen the Shaolin trilogy filmed in the Mainland, each one a huge hit?

If it weren't for Jet Li's name and Wen Bixia's strong support, "The Swordsman" would never have been able to sell more than 300 million at the box office in Asia.

Therefore, you cannot say that Li Lianjie made a mistake in business.

Last but not least, the adaptation of "The Swordsman" is a bit confusing.

Xu Ke always felt that this second part must be something famous, but Yin Jun didn't come up with a second part, which made him feel a little itchy.

This time, Yin Jun called Xu Ke over. Xu Ke thought he was given "Swordsman 2", but unexpectedly, what he got was another movie.

"Dao Ma Dan"! ?

After Xu Ke read the script, he slowly savored the story and nodded slightly.

"Great story!"

he said.

As one of the three most accomplished directors since the opening of Hong Kong as a port, Mr. Xu naturally has excellent vision.

People have been popular from the age of 30 to 70. This is not something ordinary people can achieve.

Didn't a super great director like Wu Yusen just go to Hollywood and give up completely?

Therefore, Xu Ke could tell at a glance that this movie with three girls as the protagonists is very charming, the storyline is relaxed and relaxed, the characters have their own characteristics, and it is also supported by the feelings of family and country. No matter where you come from, All things considered, it's a good movie.

Original stories like this are Yin Jun’s strength!

Xu Ke thought this in his mind and asked, "Master Jun, are you going to let me take pictures of it?"

"Yes." Yin Jun said, "Which female stars do you think are the most suitable?"

Of course Xu Ke is not that stupid and won’t tell me which one I think is good.

The person in front of me is Yin Jun!

Their eyesight is much stronger than mine. Besides, as a part-time worker, why are you so sharp in front of your boss? It’s not that time yet, right?

Therefore, Xu Ke said politely, "I just saw the script now, and I don't have any specific concept. As the creator of the script, Mr. Jun, you should have a more suitable reference object in mind, right? I respect your opinion."

Yin Jun smiled, Xu Ke was also very sensible.

For example, in the movie in his hands, he is definitely not willing to let others decide the most important role.

Even if this person is Xu Ke.

Even though the movie itself was made by Xu Ke three years later.

Because Yin Jun has his own ideas and the movie he wants to make.

Just like this one.

"I wrote Xianghong based on the image of Zhong Chuhong. Let me use Guan Zhilin for Bainiu." At this point, Yin Jun pondered for a moment and then said: "The last Cao Yun is from Miao Qian!"

Xu Ke recalled the facial features of the three people in his mind, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll go find them and give them a try!"

This is just a scene. If there are no big surprises, the three of them will definitely be used.

Yin Jun did not decide on the remaining roles, such as the warlord father, the theater owner, etc., but gave Xu Ke the opportunity to choose his own roles.

But people like Xu Ke will naturally not be satisfied.

He was looking forward to the day when he would be able to find a good script and at the same time he would not have to be controlled by others.

I hope, I hope that after the 6-movie contract, I can reach this point!

If Yin Jun's six scripts can't make him famous, he might as well stop thinking so much and just be an engineer-type director!

Yin Jun didn't think that much.

The value of Xu Ke under his own hands is definitely more than 6 movies.

For example, in the Once Upon a Time series, Xu Ke has made more than a dozen films. For such a large series, the copyright belongs to Yin Jun. How do you think Xu Ke will not continue to cooperate with Yin Jun?

In the script "Dao Ma Dan", the three heroines are Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and Ye Qianwen.

But Yin Jun didn't have much affection for Ye Qianwen, a woman who couldn't even speak Mandarin or Cantonese, so he directly replaced her with the more delicate Guan Zhilin, which was naturally an enhancement.

Among Hong Kong actors, only Lin Qingxia can handle the role of the warlord's heroic and handsome daughter. However, Lin Qingxia is in the United States and is not planning to come back this year, so Yin Jun gave the role to Miao Qian.

Miao Qian is also a very handsome and beautiful woman, and she also has a bookish beauty about her. When Yin Jun found her to play the role, he did not lower his requirements much.

Although Miao Qian will immigrate to the United States with her husband in two years, Yin Jun in "Swordsman" does not expect to be a star. It is just a part of the overall campaign of Hong Kong movies, so whether the protagonist can continue to be popular, It doesn't matter.

This is just like Hollywood movies. A new generation replaces the old, but Hollywood is still Hollywood. It does not rely on any star, but the entire Hollywood film industry system.

If Yin Jun only wants to promote a few celebrities, he will be failing.

Exporting Chinese-language films to the outside world is the most important thing.

After talking about the matter, Yin Jun happened to be going to the Hong Kong government, so he went out with Xu Ke.

Finally, when he walked out of the headquarters building of Broadcasting Road, Yin Jun saw a group of figures passing by.

"Hey, He He, come here!" The young man called to one of the girls.

The girl was coming out of the indoor studio with her companions when she suddenly heard a sound. When she looked back, it was the big boss standing there.

So amidst the envious, jealous and hateful looks of a group of friends, Guan Yonghe, still in costume, trotted over.

"Master Jun, what do you want from me?" Guan Yonghe said a little shyly when he arrived.

"I heard that you are progressing very quickly. Now you are starting to play supporting actresses with lines?" Yin Jun said.

"I'm quite adaptable." Speaking of this, Guan Yonghe said a little proudly, "They all said that I have acting talent!"

"That's good, do it well, and you will become a big star!" Yin Jun said with a smile, "Go ahead, just come to me if you need anything."

"Oh!" Guan Yonghe glanced at Xu Ke next to Yin Jun, and then gently said, "Thank you, Mr. Jun!"

With that said, she quickly ran back to the group of companions who were waiting for her.

I don't know what they said, but a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the crowd. Guan Yonghe was so angry that he chased his bad friends everywhere, and everyone became a mess.

Seeing Yin Jun retracting his gaze, Xu Ke was a little curious, "Master Jun, is she the new person you plan to train?"

"Yes. How do you feel about her?" Yin Jun asked.

"She is petite and delicate, with a beautiful oval face." Xu Ke said truthfully, "But it still lacks some recognition. If it is a small screen, it will be okay, but I am afraid it will be worse on a big screen."

Yin Jun smiled.

Xu Ke is indeed a genius. He took one look at Guan Yonghe and saw her biggest flaw.

It's true that Guan Yonghe had never acted in movies in her previous life, but she was not successful at all and could not compare to her husband, who also had a background in TV dramas.

The most powerful thing about Guan Yonghe is in TV dramas. That is where she performs best.

With Kylin TV covering all of Asia, a generation of actresses like Guan Yonghe is also an important force that brings many fans to Chinese film and television!

Moreover, Guan Yonghe's growth was far beyond Yin Jun's expectation.

I originally thought that she would have to work as a bit player for about a year before she could get into a small role with a few lines.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, Guan Yonghe has become a character actor with many roles.

I wonder if she can become a new generation of Kylin TV actress in two or three years?
