Entertainment: Starting from starring in Wolf Warriors

"Then what does Mr. Lin think I should say?"

"I think... since you are so optimistic about the prospects of comedy films, you naturally want to shoot comedies. After all, our investment is not for dreams, but for making money. The worst thing is to shoot military themes that you are good at, and You can also use the wind of "Wolf Warrior" to do publicity." Lin Guoqiang spread his hands, obviously not very optimistic about Lu Li's ideas.But the expression was a bit more expectant than before.

"That's right, comedy films have great commercial value, but everything has two sides, and it is precisely because of the commercial value of comedy films that now no matter what director or film suffix they have to add the word comedy, even now comedy It has already been equated with vulgarity. If we catch up with the trend at this time, unless we have super strong scripts and epoch-making performances, we will either be abandoned by many colleagues or drown in the audience's scolding In addition to the impact of short videos and online dramas on the film industry, two-hour funny comedies can no longer adapt to this fast-paced life. In the future, the film market will not lack comedy, but its commercial value will be greatly reduced.”

Speaking of this, Lu Li deliberately paused to give Lin Guoqiang a little time to digest. After all, what he was talking about was the prospect of the comedy explosion in his previous life, which is still a bit ahead of the current world.

"As for Mr. Lin asking me why I don't continue to shoot military-themed movies like "Wolf Warrior", my answer is that I will, but I made "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Wolf Warrior 3". The growth of "Wolf Warrior", so I understand how much effort the director Wu Jing has made for this. Let alone many of his contacts and equipment cannot be replicated, it is said that his success must be accompanied by some luck. In the contemporary era full of military dramas, the appearance of "Wolf Warrior" has become a clear stream. If you continue to copy this type of movie at this time, apart from making the audience compare the two, not many people will care about you at all. Whether it will be stronger than him, the first one to eat a crab is the warrior, as for the latter...who remembers."

In the end, Lu Li leaned forward, his eyes were on the opposite side: "Director Wu Jing has honed his sword for ten years, Mr. Lin, how much time does your company... have?"

clap, clap, clap...

Lin Guoqiang applauded,

"Okay, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful. I didn't expect Xiaoyou Lu to be able to analyze the film industry so thoroughly at such a young age. Even the market researchers I hired at a high price may not be as clear as you said. It seems that Xiaoyou Lu There are many surprises besides acting.”

"Mr. Lin praised me a lot. I just stumbled into it by mistake. I happened to have experienced the ups and downs of this movie. As for the acting skills... Hey, there is still room for improvement."

The flattery between the two didn't last a few words, and Lin Guoqiang brought the matter back to the right track with one sentence.

"Since Xiaoyou Lu understands the movie market so well, surely the so-called action movies are not action movies in the traditional sense?"

Lu Li stretched out a finger and swung it left and right.

"I think, the more traditional an action movie is, the less traditional it is now."

Lin Guoqiang raised his eyebrows and squeezed out a few forehead lines,

"How to say?"

"Magic City itself is a city with magical significance. In the old society, as the most chaotic area in our country, many legendary characters were created, and many excellent movies were born because of this, such as Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng and others. Now foreign capital On the contrary, the people in our country have forgotten a lot about the essence of their own culture. If we can make a movie that has the color of the rivers and lakes and belongs to China itself, reflecting the true meaning of the rivers and lakes and presenting wonderful fights, it will do the opposite. In other words, what do you think of Mr. Lin?"

Lin Guoqiang's expression is intriguing, and the eyes flickering under the frame make it impossible to see his inner thoughts.

"Can you be more specific?"

Lu Li stretched out his palm and squeezed it hard, the joints burst out instantly, and he spit out four words:

"Huaxia—Kung Fu!"

……

Chapter 119: The prototype of "Master"

In the early years of the Republic of China, in order to fulfill the mission of "Going up Wing Chun to the north and promoting martial arts", Chen Shi, a master of a generation, came to Baihu City located in the sub-city of Kyoto. Woman, he fell in love at first sight.After being told by others, the matchmaker tied the knot.

In order to gain a foothold in Baihu City and fulfill his wish, Chen Shi opened a martial arts gym and accepted a local young man as his apprentice. According to the rules of the world at that time, the apprentice needed to replace the master to kick the gym.As a result, the two were involved in a great change in the world.

At first, the two had their own thoughts and secretly had their own calculations, but after going through a life-and-death calamity, they developed an inseparable friendship.

Chen Shi takes the promotion of martial arts as his lifelong sustenance, and his apprentice is only a means for him to realize his dream of the world, but he is inadvertently tied to his destiny.

The apprentice is brave and resolute, unrestrained, but always sticks to his mission at critical junctures.They still have their original intentions, but they can't bear the truth.

After Lu Li finished talking about his thoughts, Lin Guoqiang was still immersed in the affectionate but full of intrigues, and he came back to his senses after a long while.

"Well...and then what?"

Seeing his unfinished expression, Lu Li knew that he had made the right bet, and explained, "This is just my preliminary idea. Many specific details need to be systematically implemented in words before they can be supplemented."

Now Lu Li still has some reservations. After all, the movie "Master" has always been his favorite in his previous life. Stories that have never appeared before will inevitably cause a lot of trouble if they are noticed by interested people. It is enough to say these.

I didn't see that Lin Guoqiang was looking at him in a completely different way than before, with incredible admiration.

"Genius, no! Ghost genius!" This was Lu Li's evaluation.

"When I saw your "Little" MV before, I thought you were very talented, but I didn't expect you to be able to list such a wonderful story outline in such a short period of time. If it weren't for your young age, I would doubt it. Have you experienced all this yourself?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Lin also likes to swipe and shake."

"Hey, I usually just play around, and I only saw it because of my daughter."

"Ling Qianjin... knows me too?" Lu Li asked suspiciously.

Lin Guoqiang was taken aback. He thought Lu Li knew about his daughter, but looking at him, it seemed that his daughter simply liked him, that's all. It's changed the taste.

Lin Guoqiang cherishes talents and doesn't want to miss such a good talent because of family reasons.

"Little friend Lu, it seems that I made the most correct decision to invite you this time. I can tell you clearly that if you can prepare this script, Lin Sheng Wood's cooperation this time must be you!"

Become!

Lu Xin was excited, but restrained himself on the surface, slowly stood up and shook hands with him: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your love, I can write the script, and I can even make the biggest concession in terms of salary, but since I wrote the script by myself, can you Let me in the selection of actors?"

"This..." Lin Guoqiang hesitated. You must know that actors are also inextricably linked to investment, just like some actors themselves have their own traffic. Although movies can be regarded as the fourth art, they are essentially a business for businessmen. As for commercial behavior, if the actors are poorly selected, which leads to the failure of the movie, who can bear the responsibility.

After much hesitation, he still decided to refuse.

"Sorry, we have our own considerations when selecting actors. I can only promise you that the protagonist must be you. As for the others... I think you should understand."

Lu Li lowered his jaw slightly: "I understand, that's fine. Whether I can recommend an actor or not, as for whether he can be selected or not, it's up to you to decide."

"no problem."

Lin Guoqiang had no reason to refuse this kind of trivial matter. The moment the two shook hands, even if this preliminary cooperation had been reached, Lu Li had officially taken another step on the road to becoming an actor!

And this step is very meaningful, not only can he be named as the leading actor, but he is also the screenwriter!

Half an hour later, Lu Li and Lin Guoqiang walked out of the teahouse together. The detail that Lu Li was a step behind made the latter nod slightly.

This young man, talented but not impetuous, is a man to make!

It's a pity that I don't have the idea of ​​formally establishing an entertainment company, otherwise signing him must have been the most successful decision.

"Okay, let's stop here. I don't know where Lu Xiaoyou lives now. I'll ask the driver to take you there."

"Mr. Xie Lin's kindness, but it's still early, and I still want to visit this metropolis."

"Hahaha, young people are fine. Okay, then I won't bother you. Remember, call me if you have anything to say. Don't dare to say anything else. You still have some face in this place of the Devil's City."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Watching Lin Guoqiang leave, Lu Li smiled slightly, turned around and walked in the opposite direction, quickening his pace and disappearing into the crowd.

……

As an international metropolis, Shanghai has an extremely complete financial system and social order. According to a rough estimate every year, the floating population of Shanghai is as high as 9000 million, and the permanent population is also 3000 million. It can be said that this kind of place is simply an inch of land. Jin, this also led to the development of the entertainment industry in Shanghai.
