Entertainment: Boss of Rebirth Coal, started with red poplar honey

The chef for today's lunch is from a Michelin three-star hotel in Kyoto. He is an Englishman and a world-renowned master in the western food circle, Paul Hals.

The ingredients for the meal are very simple. A blue flag tuna that was caught a few hours ago was caught by a fishing boat, slaughtered and frozen on the spot, and then transported to the airport by helicopter. After several transfers, it was finally delivered to Young Master Xiao’s dining table superior.

Among them, the cost is not much to describe, and the value is basically equivalent to a big G, which is unremarkable.

In the dining room, the servant arranged the dining chairs for Sister Cai, next to her young master, and then carefully laid out a clean white printed tablecloth, exquisite dragon pattern dishes and silver knives and forks, and sat down respectfully in front of Sister Cai. The servant quietly withdrew.

At this time, several tuna dishes were already placed on the dining table, gorgeously arranged, fresh and delicious, and tempting to commit crimes.

Sister Cai's beautiful brows trembled slightly, she looked at the eldest young master beside her who seemed to be accustomed to everything in front of her, and said with a set of neat silver teeth: "Brother Xiao, this meal is almost enough to make a movie, right? Don't you think it's a waste?"

Sister Cai obviously couldn't understand Young Master Xiao's extravagant and wasteful behavior, and felt that as a good friend of Young Master Xiao who talked about everything, it was necessary to correct it.

Xiao Xing picked up a piece of fish meat that was fried until the surface was browned, dipped it in the dipping sauce, put it on Sister Cai's dinner plate, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's taste the taste of this pan-fried dish. Today, the chef is a new chef. I heard that he is well-known in the industry, and in the restaurant where he worked before, there were many people queuing up to taste his cooking skills every day."

Sister Cai immediately rolled her eyes, and gave Young Master Xiao an angry look. She wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Young Master Xiao's handsome face, which was as clear as a sculpture, her eyes met with that pair of tenderness. , with a little domineering deep pupils, sister Cai was instantly confused...

After finishing the meal, Sister Cai put on her lip gloss.

Xiao Xing also wiped away the bright red from the corner of his mouth.

Later, during the visit to Xiao Xing's bedroom, Sister Cai asked about Tianxing, Xiao Xing briefly described what happened, and Sister Cai almost bit her tongue in shock...

In the afternoon, the busy sister Cai said goodbye and left with a radiant face.

Less than two hours later, Li Bing appeared in the villa again and had an in-depth exchange with Young Master Xiao. During the exchange, she also asked some of the same questions as Sister Cai. After listening to Xiao Xing's answers Afterwards, Li Bing demonstrated on the spot the danger of earthquakes when driving at high speed in a tunnel. Xiao Xing: ...

……

mid-December.

The summer vacation is coming to an end, and in the film market, there is only one "Night Smoke" left that is still raking in the box office.

have to say.

The Wang brothers are still far-sighted.

After Huayi increased its investment in advertising, "Night Smoke" has also achieved great success at the domestic box office. Although it is far less exaggerated than "Crazy Stone" when it was released, the increase in the box office is still gratifying.

After the cumulative box office in three days was close to 5000 million, the domestic box office of "Night Smoke" hit the 4900 million mark in the first week of its release, and it also won [-] million in the following week.

As of yesterday, "Night Smoke" has been released for 17 days, and the cumulative domestic box office has reached a height of 1 million.

However, this box office data is basically the limit of "Night Smoke" in the domestic box office.

On the 18th day of its release, the single-day domestic box office of "Ye Yan" was only 167 million, 19 million on the 145th day, and 20 million on the 138th day. Under the declining box office trend, even if "Ye Yan" was released for ten days In a few days, there is a high probability that the final box office will be between 1.7 and 1.8 million.

But anyway.

As a purely domestic film, "Night Smoke" is undoubtedly a success.

Feng Xiaogang was worthy of being one of the most appealing directors in Longguo Mainland at that time.

Generally speaking, in August of this year, the domestic entertainment industry belongs to Huayi, and belongs to Feng Xiaogang's "Ye Yan".

After a month of prosperity, the Wang brothers finally felt a little elated.

Although they are still a little dissatisfied with the results of "Night Smoke", after all, in their vision, "Night Smoke" may be comparable to or even surpass "Crazy Stone", and they have paid a considerable price for it.

But it turns out.

They thought too much.

"Crazy Stone" is a miracle.

If a miracle is so easy to break, it is not a miracle.

However, the Wang brothers are not discouraged by this, "Ye Yan" can't do it, they still have Feng Xiaogang's next movie "Jijiehao", if "Jijiehao" can't, they can still invest in Feng Xiaogang's filming scenes Bigger big productions.

In short, they still firmly believe that the film produced by Huayi will surpass "Crazy Stone" and seize the crown of domestic box office records. peak.

……

Fast forward to September.

On the 2nd, all the preparatory work for "The King of Kung Fu" has been completed.

But the film was unable to start for a long time. The reason is that the director Zhang Yimou, the two leading actors Li Lianjie and Cheng Dage were not satisfied with the final script.

In fact, other leading actors may also have some opinions, but how should I put it, in the crew of "The King of Kung Fu", except for the national teacher and the two eldest brothers, no one else has the right to speak at all, and they dare not speak nonsense.

In the conference room of Tianxing Entertainment.

Li Lianjie flipped through the script in his hand expressionlessly. The dissatisfaction in his heart almost showed on his face for this script given by a dozen top domestic screenwriters.

"I don't think this story is meaningful. It's not that the story is not good. On the contrary, the story is a good story, but I can't find the feeling in my heart. What I want is to have a hearty fight with Brother Cheng and let the audience To see the real strength of the two of us, instead of making a mythical film with too many special effects..."

Brother Cheng also frowned and said: "I don't like this character setting very much. Good and evil are opposed? Who is good? Who is evil? The script didn't explain clearly until the end, but left an open ending. Can the audience guess for themselves? No, no, this must be changed.”

Hearing Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng's words, the screenwriters were embarrassed, and no one dared to answer for a while.

Zhang Yimou slapped the script, thought carefully, and said to the screenwriters: "I think there are many things in it that you should learn from those classic Xiangjiang movies, and don't focus all on domestic mythological plots. Although the company requires pure Dragonman movie, but isn’t Xiangjiang movie a Dragon Entertainment movie? Why, are you still thinking of splitting Xiangjiang from Dragon Kingdom?”

The screenwriters were speechless.

rough!

You can say that, why don't you write it yourself!

Chapter 129 "Tribal Alliance"!

in the conference room.

Zhang Yimou, Brother Cheng, Li Lianjie, the three of them discussed with a group of top domestic screenwriters all afternoon, but in the end the discussion did not come to a conclusion.

The screenwriters listened carefully to the suggestions of the three big bosses, but it was really too difficult to write the script of "The King of Kung Fu".

Because this movie not only needs the story to be exciting enough, but also needs to stand up to the characters of the two kung fu superstars.The key is not to write in the way of good and evil. For example, a martial arts leader and a demon leader. The guy is not happy, and the audience can't accept it.

However, there is no confrontation between good and evil, how to highlight the awesomeness of the two kung fu superstars?Under the same camp, how to set off the importance of the two big men?

Difficult!

too difficult!

The screenwriters were all bald, and couldn't figure out how to solve it.

After the meeting, the screenwriters went back to conceive the script, and Zhang Yimou, Brother Cheng, and Li Lianjie came to Wang Jinhua's office.

"Sister Hua, I think we should invite a few Xiangjiang screenwriters to write this script together. It may be difficult for these domestic screenwriters to come up with a script that satisfies everyone in a short period of time."

Li Lianjie suggested.

Wang Jinhua looked at Zhang Yimou after hearing the words, intending to listen to the opinion of the national teacher, but Zhang Yimou looked at Brother Cheng. He felt that it was more appropriate for Brother Cheng to talk about this matter, because now it is Brother Cheng who has the biggest opinion on the role.

Brother Cheng was not polite at all, "The screenwriter must be invited, and the script must be revised. If the script is not exciting enough, I would rather not make a bad movie than make a joke for everyone."

At this moment.

A magnetic male voice came from the door.

"What joke? Who wants to read big brother's joke?"

Several people followed the sound and saw that Xiao Xing was coming, Wang Jinhua hurriedly stood up to greet him, Zhang Yimou, Brother Cheng, and Li Lianjie also stood up to say hello.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Xiao Xing asked curiously: "Just now I heard what elder brother said as a joke for others? What's the matter? Did something happen?"

Brother Cheng explained with a smile: "It's the problem with the script. The script that the screenwriter came up with this time still makes me very dissatisfied. I was just saying that if I don't have a good script, I would rather not shoot it than shoot one." This bad movie is a joke for others, Mr. Xiao, if this really happens, I hope you will hold your hand high and charge me less liquidated damages, hahaha..."

Xiao Xing immediately laughed and said: "Brother, don't worry, if it is really because of the script that this film cannot be made, I won't charge a penny of liquidated damages, but the remuneration that should be paid is quite a bit, how about it, haha."

Hearing this, Brother Cheng immediately clasped his fists in admiration, "President Xiao is a man of character, generous and forthright, and the entire entertainment circle can't find a second."

"Hahaha…"

Several people laughed loudly, and the atmosphere became lively and lively in an instant.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Xing also looked at the scripts written by many top domestic screenwriters.

After reading it from beginning to end, Xiao Xing frowned.

To be honest, he couldn't see how this new version of "The King of Kung Fu" was going to be.

But the structure of the whole story gave him the feeling that it is a relatively orthodox domestic martial arts film, but the character settings in it are very vague. It is difficult to determine who is decent in the end with the characters of Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng. Who is the villain, or both, and the development of the plot is also confusing, and finally ended with a big battle and both fell off the cliff, and they both died?or what?Not expressed at all.

what do you mean.

How about playing a guessing game with me?

Xiao Xing angrily threw the script on the coffee table.

Zhang Yimou, Brother Cheng, Li Lianjie, and Wang Jinhua saw that Xiao Xing had finished reading the script, and all cast their gazes over, intending to hear Xiao Xing's thoughts.

Xiao Xing pondered for a while, this time the script was obviously unqualified, what was the problem, he didn't bother to think about it, the script must be rewritten.

嗏

Will rewriting be able to see a satisfactory story?

Xiao Xing shook his head secretly. It's not that he doesn't trust the ability of those screenwriters. There's no problem with screenwriting. As long as they are given enough time to write a few more times, they will be able to come up with a script that satisfies everyone.

But what they lack most now is time.

Because no one can be sure how long this process will last, it may be one or two months, or it may be a year or two. In terms of time, he doesn't care, and the company can afford it. The problem is that the national teacher and the two big brothers can't afford to wait. It's impossible to spend here all the time, and if they don't see the result in a short time, they will have to switch to other plays, so Brother Cheng just said that.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xing couldn't help looking through the film library in his mind. Is there an action movie big production that satisfies the two male leads at the same time, with equal parts, all decent, peak duel, and super high box office?It seems that there is no such thing.

It's too demanding.

Hardly realistic.

At least there will be no similar movies in the next ten years.

And if it doesn't fully meet the requirements, it can only be changed magically.

But Xiao Xing had never worked as a director and screenwriter, so he didn't know where to start, let alone which movie was suitable.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xing sighed helplessly, and was ready to go with the fate, if he could shoot, he would look for opportunities later if he couldn't.

No way, who can't find a suitable script.

Just about to make a decision.

Sudden.

A light flashed in my mind.

Tribe of Assassins!

Thinking of this Hollywood action blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie with a big mouth, Xiao Xing suddenly felt that the plot of this movie could be used as a reference.

The two male protagonists have equal parts in the roles, both are upright, the peak duel, and the super high box office. Among the five major conditions, "Assassin's Tribe" meets at least three.

All decent—the father and son of the main characters in the movie are undoubtedly all decent characters.

Peak duel - the process of the protagonist's father and son fighting several times is wonderful, and even staged a magical scene of bullets turning and bullets colliding with bullets, which can definitely be called a peak duel.

Super high box office - "Assassin's Tribe" has a global box office of 3.5 million, equivalent to 24 billion + dragon coins, ranking among the top 15 in the global box office that year. If it were put on a Dragon Entertainment movie, it would be awesome.

However, the dissatisfaction of this movie is also quite fatal. The two major male protagonists and the role of the scene are equal. In this movie, the son is the absolute male protagonist, and the father is at most an important supporting role. Regardless of the role or the role, both The distance is far away, and with Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng's current status, it is unrealistic for anyone to act as a supporting role for the other.

嗏

Xiao Xing thinks that these two points are not difficult to solve.

Isn't it easy to improve a character for someone who is in complete control of a movie?

As long as he thinks, whoever he wants to be the protagonist is the protagonist.

My movies are in my hands!

Chapter 130 I have a story...

Snapped!

Thinking about it, Xiao Xing couldn't help showing joy, and lightly patted his thigh.

Zhang Yimou, Wang Jinhua, Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie were all taken aback.

Mr. Xiao (my little boss) what's your reaction?

Before they could figure out what Xiao Xing was thinking, Xiao Xing looked around with a smile on his face, and then spoke.

"I think of an interesting story here, so let me tell you, you all listen to it, and if you think it's good, we will use this story to make this movie."
