Chapter 315 Li Bian, You Know How to Use a Hammer to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Taipei, Yangmingshan, Lin Yutang's former residence.

To a certain extent, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the key to the era of Chinese movie blockbusters.

Thanks to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's fame and fortune in international movies, the eager Zhang Yimou launched the movie Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and then Poets Chen and Feng Gangpao Stud.

certainly.

Compared with the landscape photographer Zhang Emo, the romantic bard Chen, and the useless cultural hooligan Feng Gangpao, Li Ying is somewhat pious as a filmmaker.

If Zhou Mubai offends Xu Chen, he has offended the living king of hell!

If you still want to be in Hollywood, you are a poop eater.

Talk.

Chou Mubai has been in Hollywood since 1995. His predecessors Cheng Jiaoshe and Li Lanfu have made great achievements in Hollywood, but Chou Mubai is the worst.

Jodie Foster, who has won two Oscars for Best Actress in Hollywood, can't escape her poisonous nature, full of ambition and shame.

Zhou Mubai's battle to turn around was Li Yu's movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

if.

Zhou Mubai didn’t have Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

So.

Poison Bai can only go back to Xiangjiang in despair!

Xu Chen cut his salary, deliberately looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Director Li, I can see that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a very good script, but my 1999 schedule may not be enough."

The sincere Xu Chen looked extremely guilty.

Holding a pen, Geng Zhi counted his schedule to Li Yu: "Director Li, in January Pepsi-Cola will have a spokesperson signing meeting in Europe and the United States, in February the Spring Festival Gala, in March Pepsi-Cola will promote an advertising song in Europe and the United States. Alas, 3 months are wasted on In Europe and the United States, I will be singing at Michael Jackson’s concert in April at his sister’s invitation, and in May, Warner will release my new European and American album.”

Xu Chen is extremely sincere.

Director Li, I, Xu, am somewhat confident in Europe and the United States. In China, I would say without any humility that I, Xu, am worth 1,000, cross out, 20 million box office!

Li Yu’s assistant Xu Ligong had a subtle expression.

He quietly made eye contact with Li Yan, slapped his thigh fiercely, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, what a coincidence, isn't it?" Xu speculated that Mr. Xu was planning to enter the European and American music scene in 1999. With Mr. Xu's musical talent, he would definitely It’s about achieving success immediately and capturing it at your fingertips. Xu congratulates Mr. Xu in advance!”

Xu Ligong toasted.

Xu Chen said modestly: "It's just a small show, but it can't compare to Director Li. I've read the novel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and I can't put it down for Director Li's movies."

Xu Chen said.

Suddenly I asked out of curiosity: "Director Li, your movie is very good at sense and emotion. Are you planning to make a martial arts version of sense and emotion this time when filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, telling the story of two women?"

"So, the role played by Emma Thompson is very suitable for Michelle Yeoh in China. I have long wanted to see Michelle Yeoh play this kind of rational, old-fashioned, collected and safe role. Michelle Yeoh has a repressed and taboo beauty."

The first step to kick Zhou Mubai away.

Get inside the screenwriter of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Sorry, Ah Fa, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are all mine!

Li Jian had been observing Xu Chen silently. Hearing this, it was like scratching an itch between shoes, making him unable to sit still.

He did want to make a martial arts version of Sense and Sensibility.

But.

The deeper concepts of the film were confusing and unclear. Xu Chen's few words, but every word was like a wake-up call, which gave him great inspiration.

Li Jian couldn't help but frown his thick eyebrows, his expression was cold and serious, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

He was stunned for a long time.

As if thinking of something, his voice was emotionless: "Mr. Xu, do you have any other ideas?"

"Mr. Xu, please forgive me."

Assistant Xu Ligong looked helpless, smiled apologetically, and said with a bit of complaint: "Director Li's working status is like this, well, he doesn't recognize his relatives, and he has no objection to Mr. Xu."

Xu Ligong tilted his head.

Emphasis on: "Obviously, Director Li admires Mr. Xu very much."

With just a few words, Xu Chen can inspire the movie's devil-like Li Bian.

Xu Ligong thought to himself, Xu Chen is indeed extraordinary!

"Haha." Xu Chen laughed angrily.

Li Xian's stern look showed that Xu Chen had stolen his wife away, but he actually expressed appreciation. Poor Zhang Ziyi, Li Xian's face was dark, it wasn't that he had any objection to you, he just admired you!

The movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Xu Chen really likes the messy metaphors, or movie concepts, or the ideas that Li Bian wants to convey. He can even make some nonsense.

It's not possible to fool the whole Li Yin.

The movie version 1.0 of Li Bian?

It’s not that Xu Chen is bragging, Li Bian, you know how to use a hammer to crouching tiger, hidden dragon!

night.

Lin Yutang's former residence.

Xu Ligong, on behalf of Li Jian, saw Xu Chen off at the door of Lin Yutang's former residence.

Compared to before meeting.

Xu Ligong's attitude was much more cordial, and he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, I'm going to trouble you more. Please make time during the movie schedule. The crew will do their best to cooperate with Mr. Xu in the filming."

In Xu Ligong's eyes, Xu Chen is somewhat mysterious like an outsider!

It can fool the film master Li Bing and shake his head to speak frankly.

Xu Chen’s understanding of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon must be better than mine. If he wants to direct Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I will have no choice but to make other movies!

Li Yin is autistic.

Xu Chen suddenly changed from a non-staff member of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to a film scorer and screenwriter in an instant, and became a core creative member of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Targeting Li Mubai.

Xu Chen gave Zhou Mubai a little time to operate, and hit Zhou Mubai repeatedly to make Zhou Mubai understand who is the grandson and who is the master!

Xu Ligong returned to the teahouse.

Li pressed his thick eyebrows together with a cold and serious expression, staring blankly at the draft paper in front of him, swimming in the ocean of movies,

Xu Ligong coughed slightly, sat next to Li Bian, thought for a while, and asked: "Director Li, does Xu Chen's idea for the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon movie really coincide with yours?"

Xu Ligong saved face for Li Jian, and they coincided with each other!

Li An rubbed his temples with a serious expression and said, "Xiao Xu, it's not coincidental. This is Xu Chen's version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

After a pause, Li Bian smiled bitterly: "But this is indeed the movie I want to make. It seems that Xu Chen is not only a musical prodigy, but if he studies film directing for 3 or 2 years, he will also be a first-class director."

Li Bian has won numerous international awards. According to his selection criteria, the so-called first-class directors are all well-known directors in the international film industry.

Xu Ligong looked hesitant and said tentatively: "Director Li, it seems that the conflict between Xu Chen and Zhou Mubai is not easy to resolve. If Xu Chen doesn't give Zhou Mubai face, what about our movie?"

Xu Ligong continued to save face for Li Jian. Xu Chen didn't deny face to Zhou Mubai, he clearly didn't give face to Li Jian!

Think of this.

Li An's thick eyebrows tightened and became heavier. The film was originally going to invite Li Lanfu, but Li Lanfu was not scheduled enough. Leaving aside Li Lanfu, the only suitable person was Zhou Mubai.

Xu Chen and Zhou Mubai?

Li Bing hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "If Xu Chen and Zhou Mubai can't be resolved, we have to give up on Zhou Mubai. This movie can be made without Zhou Mubai, but it can't be without Xu Chen."

"For meritorious service, if you continue to contact Li Lanfu, you will say that Xu Chen has agreed to play the role of Luo Xiaohu."

"Okay." Xu Ligong nodded, turned around and prepared to go out.

"etc."

Li Bian called him, with a teasing smile on his face, pointing to Xu Chen's itinerary: "Show Li Lanfu Xu Chen's European and American itinerary. He doesn't want to show off his prestige in Europe and the United States. Tell him, what can be better than in the movie?" Beating up the Asian pop king is even more prestigious."

"Besides, don't you think Xu Chen has a greater chance of success in venturing into Europe and the United States than the two senior film industry veterans Cheng Jiao She and Li Lan Fu?"

"Indeed." Xu Ligong nodded.

In fact, Li Xian didn't really need his answer. After all, Li Xian already had the answer in his mind.

However, Xu Ligong also agreed very much and said with a smile: "After all, Xu Chen can have a relationship with Michael Jackson. There is someone in the government who can be an official."

Hongkong.

Zhou Mubai was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. A beeping blind tone came from the phone, which made him more and more upset and his face became more and more embarrassed.

My wife, Chen Huilian, came over with a cup of hot milk. Her nightgown outlined her figure, giving her a mature feminine look.

Sitting next to Zhou Mubai, he hung up the phone and asked gently: "What happened?"

Zhou Mubai did not hide anything from his wife. He looked gloomy and said bitterly: "Didn't I tell you before that I was contacted to star in Li's new movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Xu Ligong just called me..."

"What did he say?" Chen Huilian felt nervous.

The importance of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to her husband Zhou Mubai’s career is self-evident.

Her husband Zhou Mubai looked so embarrassed, Chen Huilian's tone became more gentle: "Does Director Li have any ideas?"

"It's not Director Li."

Zhou Mubai looked embarrassed, as if he couldn't say anything, and gritted his teeth and said: "It's Xu Chen! He is now the screenwriter and dubbing director of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Xu Ligong called me and told me that I must repair the relationship with Xu Chen, otherwise the movie will be difficult. .”

Chen Huilian fell silent immediately.

Husband Zhou Mubai and Xu Chen have been grudges for a long time. If Zhou Mubai wants to apologize to Xu Chen, it is better to kill him directly.

After thinking about it, Chen Huilian said softly: "Let's do this. Let's ask Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung to make peace. After all, they are all in the same circle, and Xu Chen will not deny them any face."

Zhou Mubai looked increasingly embarrassed and took a deep breath: "Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau both said they were unavailable and hinted that I should contact the princess."

"What the hell, isn't Xu Chen involved in the music industry? Why did he suddenly get involved with Li Bian and make casting decisions for movies?"

Zhou Mufa lost any of his elder brother demeanor, and his expression was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

Xu Chen took out his salary and Zhou Mubai was in a panic.

Chen Huilian put her delicate white hands on her husband Zhou Mubai's shoulders, thought for a moment, and said, "Afa, in this case, if I go to Taipei myself, Xu Chen will not bully me as a woman."

Zhou Mubai thought for a while.

People under the roof had to bow their heads and retreat to Hollywood in defeat.

The prestige that he, Zhou Mubai, had worked hard for all his life in the Hong Kong circle was completely blown away, and he became a laughing stock in the Hong Kong circle.

Moreover, given Xu Chen's prestige in the mainland, even if Zhou Mubai returns to Hong Kong, what can the declining Hong Kong community give him?

Are we bound to die together with the declining Hong Kong circle?

He has no choice.

He could only grab Li Bian's olive branch!

"Alian, thank you for your hard work on this matter." Zhou Mubai looked depressed, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he simply drank wine.

Seeing her husband in pain, Chen Huilian sighed quietly and returned to the bedroom silently.

She has to go to Taipei overnight.

This shows sincerity.
