Chapter 585 It's Just Shameless (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
A new script, Painted Skin?
If you look at the back, Pu Songling in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", you will know that it is a story from a Chinese Studio.
Liaozhai is also a popular IP.
The most popular one is of course "A Chinese Ghost Story". Since the first film was produced by Shaw Brothers in 1960, it has been continuously remade.
The more famous one is "The Heroine", a film directed by Hu Jinquan in 1971, which influenced a whole generation of Hong Kong filmmakers.
Zhou Xun also made his debut in the Liaozhai movie "Old Tomb". Xie Tieli used the Liaozhai story "Lian Suo" as the basis and integrated the four stories of "Lian Suo", "Jiao Na", "Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian". It is one of the rare Chinese-Liao Zhai movies that combines multiple stories into one.
The actors selected are also relatively well-known, including Fu Yiwei, Zhou Xun, Xing Minshan and others.
On the way back in the car, Hao Yun read the script briefly.
The script given by the system is still very detailed, but the storyboard manuscript has not been completed, and even the shooting has been arranged.
If the original "Painted Skin" was a thriller, then the current script is obviously a complicated love story.
You love me but I don’t love you, I love him but he doesn’t love me…
A group of crazy men and women, trapped by love.
It may also be that there are too many good scripts in his hands, and Hao Yun doesn't think "Painted Skin" is such a brilliant script.
The plot has been changed from the original weird to become more cliched.
Then there is the worldview.
The ones that have done relatively well in this regard are probably "Journey to the West" and "Lord of the Rings".
For example, movies such as the "Lord of the Rings" series that win both box office and word-of-mouth are supported by a complete world view. The characters, stories, customs, language and culture, social forms and world history are all extremely sophisticated.
However, there are not many IPs like this. Most of the movie storylines are often out of touch with the worldview they construct, lacking integrity and rigor.
Although a worldview is used for filming, all its contents may not appear in the plot of the movie, but it will affect the visual elements and all aspects of reality of the movie.
"Painted Skin" also faces similar problems.
Therefore, Hao Yun still needs to continue to improve it. This script can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
Otherwise it could easily become a bad movie.
However, this kind of fantasy film seems to be more suitable for Xu Ke. Xu Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story" can almost be said to be an insurmountable classic of Liaozhai IP.
Hao Yun remembered that he and Xu Ke had an agreement.
As a screenwriter, he came up with a script, directed by Xu Kelai, and jointly made a movie.
Xu Ke is a relatively special being among the super directors in Xiangjiang.
As a director, especially a famous director, forming your own style system can be said to be a basic skill.
Just like when you see the shaky frame shots, flashing neon signs and fashionable retro girls, you know it's Wang Jiawei, and when you see the nonsensical crazy beauty, you guess it's Zhou Xingxing.

They all have their own "cooking method" that they are good at. They know how to cook each ingredient, what seasonings to add, and then create their own taste. They have the ability to tell that it is his work at a glance.
Xu Ke is good at action design and actor training. Especially the women under his lens are really amazing.
Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Bubai, Wang Zuxian's Nie Xiaoqian, Zhang Manyu's Jin Xiangyu and Xiaoqing, Guan Zhilin's Thirteenth Aunt, Yang Caini's Zhu Yingtai, Zhang Baizhi's Lone Moon...
It is a very special kind of beauty, which is revealed in the audience's field of vision through the movie, bringing great visual shock to people.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, women are not only a bright spot in Xu Ke’s movies, but also half of them!
Hao Yun really wanted to learn from Xu Ke.
His growth path is to learn from the strengths of others, learn unique skills from different directors, and finally form his own unified style.
As long as there is more integration, as long as he is not really refined, he will form his own characteristics sooner or later.
So now the problem comes. According to Hao Yun's original plan, he will stay in the mainland until "The Disciple" starts filming.
Use this time to discuss "Let the Bullets Fly" with Jiang Wen and record the new album.
But now I have a book that needs to be discussed with Mr. Xu, and my mind is full of inspiration, so there is no need to wait for "The Disciple" to start filming before going to Xiangjiang.
Don't let your inspiration fade away.
Hao Yun immediately packed some things and flew directly to Xiangjiang with the fake Taoist priest.
After Jiang Wen was notified by phone, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
You want to talk about the new script with Xu Ke. As soon as you stick your ass up, I know what you want to do.
It's just shameless.
nausea!
It's still more than half a month before "The Disciple" starts filming, so they definitely can't send anyone to pick up Hao Yun, and they won't arrange a hotel for Hao Yun.
Fortunately, Hao Yun is not unaccompanied here.
An Xiaoxi sent an assistant to drive to pick him up.
"Did the filming of "Tracking" go smoothly?" Hao Yun did not refuse An Xiaoxi's kindness. It was too disgraceful for a star of his level to shoot.
"It's only been two days of shooting, and we only shot a few scenes." The assistant was a little cautious.
"Did Du Qifeng curse?" Hao Yun was very straightforward.
"I scolded him, but I apologized again." The assistant couldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of the big bosses behind their backs, and tried to explain the matter as plainly as possible.
Du Qifeng is used to scolding people, and he will scold everyone on the set.
After scolding, he realized that An Xiaoxi was not a Hong Kong star he often worked with. Not only was she one of the film investors, but she also brought in more than 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars in GG sponsorship after joining the crew.
If she cried and ran away, they would have to comfort her.
So, after scolding, he hurried to explain that this was my work style, and I was too demanding of you, etc.
"It seems that I have to stay on the set for a few days." Hao Yun sighed.
An Xiaoxi was under his protection, and he was also the one who introduced her to the crew of "Tracking". He was always scolded by Du Qifeng, which hurt his face.
He had to help An Xiaoxi get into the state on the scene.
He could help take some attributes when necessary.
Hao Yun did not go to the hotel, but went directly to the set, and happened to meet Du Qifeng explaining the play to An Xiaoxi.
This section was her and Ren Dahua acting together.
It was obviously NG that attracted Du Qifeng to the battle, otherwise You Naihai would have done it.
"Let's start, and we'll talk about anything later." Du Qifeng glanced at Hao Yun who came over, and did not give Hao Yun face to stop filming.
Because after this scene, we can rest.
Hao Yun didn't go over either. He said hello to Aunt Liu and watched An Xiaoxi acting with Ren Dahua under the direction of Du Qifeng.
Ren Dahua sacrificed a lot for this movie.
It is said that he gained weight and looks like he is almost catching up with Fei Xue.
This time when she started over again, An Xiaoxi performed well. At least the director didn't call for a stop, and the first shot was passed directly.
An Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
The first two days were basically filming her scenes. Du Qifeng and You Naihai needed her to adapt to the atmosphere of the movie.
It can also be said that she adapted to the movie style of Milkyway Image.
For this role, An Xiaoxi recently watched all the movies of Milkyway Image, and after disguising herself, she took a few bus trips to find the feeling of observing everything.
The shot just now was NG three times in a row, which is a big problem for the Hong Kong crew that emphasizes quick battles and quick decisions when filming.
An Xiaoxi was unsure, but the moment she saw Hao Yun appear, her heart quickly settled down. She didn't expect that she could meet Du Qifeng's requirements smoothly.
Aunt Liu was talking to Hao Yun in a low voice.
She was also surprised that Hao Yun came to Hong Kong more than half a month in advance. She thought something had happened.
"Isn't this a script with Xu Ke? I finally got some clues in the past two days. It's hard to explain it on the phone, so I just came to talk to Xu Ke in person." Hao Yun was very calm, which was also one of the purposes of his trip.
Other things include having dinner with the movie emperor Boss Yang.
"So fast." Aunt Liu was very surprised. This kid wrote five or six scripts a year.
But this kind of thing is not too outrageous.
"East is West" was written and filmed for 27 days; Li Lianjie's "Fang Shiyu" was written in 5 days.
And Du Qifeng in front of him, he only spent 19 days shooting "Gunfire", and the script was written on the spot.
Wang Jing filmed "The Demon Cult Master" in just 7 days to release it on the designated date. Because Li Lianjie had too many similar films in those years, the box office of this film was average, and therefore everyone has not been able to wait for Zhang Wuji to go to Dadu to find Zhao Min.
In everyone's mind, screenwriters rely on inspiration.
When inspiration comes, it's like diabetes insipidus, which can't be suppressed. It's not uncommon to write three scripts in a month.
"There are a lot of things to discuss, so I may stay in Hong Kong during this period. Oh, Liu Furong has a house vacant, I will stay for a while."
Since they are already in a cooperative relationship, Hao Yun did not refuse Liu Furong's kindness this time.
