"Our main plot revolves around the eight words 'The world is impermanent, what is a warrior?'..."

Ye Weixin asked while reading the script: "The world is impermanent, what are warriors?"

Chen Mengxi continued: "Yes, although "Ip Man" is an action movie, I would rather regard it as a type of biography of characters. Biography movies often use the passage of time and the changes of the times to create a turning point in the fate of characters. Ip Man, a master of folk martial arts who combines national hatred, how should he survive in that era?"

Ye Weixin thought: "…Is like Huo Yuanjia?"

"No, "Huo Yuanjia" made people feel frustrated. In the end, he was beaten to death by the Japanese. Although he was poisoned, I have never seen a generation of masters spitting out blood from the mouth! We have to do the opposite. Ip Man, at the beginning, he hid his merits and fame, hid at home and accompanied his wife and children, and was a master-level master. The final battle must be fast and vicious, and he must defeat his opponent with the fastest speed!"

"That's why there is this saying 'I want to beat ten'?"

"Yes, and Ip Man can't die. I designed that he was shot and then rescued by everyone, and went to Hong Kong to open a museum to teach him an apprentice..."

After reading the script, Ye Weixin asked: "Actors?"

"Wu Yue... can play Kingsoft..."

Ye Weixin probably doesn't know Wu Yue, Chen Mengxi said: "He has acted in the TV series "The Legend of the Confucian Martial Hero Chen Zhen" directed by Liu Fengsheng, and is a very good action actor in the mainland..."

"You can do whatever other actors... By the way, the heroine Zhang Yongcheng will leave it to me, and I will give you a reply in half a month!"

Ye Weixin nodded...

He is not a particularly stubborn director. He worked with Chen Jianbin in the early years when filming "The Big City and the Small Things" and has no prejudice against mainland actors...

What's more, this is the opinion of the producer.

Chen Mengxi picked up the tea and took a sip. Ye Weixin thought of something and suddenly asked: "Producer Chen, I heard that you have collaborated with NetEase on "Painted Skin"?"

"…Hong Kong also knows this news?"

"Well... are they really willing to develop games and film and television in a coordinated manner?"

"The premise is that you have to agree with them, and the script must be related to the game," Chen Mengxi suddenly became happy and blurted out: "You want to do "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

Ye Weixin was startled, but nodded: "I have such an intention, but it has not started yet..."

Chen Mengxi looked at him deeply: "...Let's talk about it when Ip Man is finished filming!"

Ye Weixin also shut up quickly...

"A Chinese Ghost Story" remake is just an intention...

The Hong Kong film industry has always been very popular in remakes of previous works, "New Dragon Inn", "New Crane Divine Needle", "New Shushan Legend"...

Of course, Chen Mengxi knew about "New Ghost Story" and was a mess of magic modifications. Chen Mengxi watched it once and only remembered a line, "If you still want it, I think I can withstand it"...

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. At this moment, Yu Weiguo knocked on the door and walked in, looking at Ye Weixin with surprise: "Director Ye, are you here too?"

Ye Weixin quickly stood up: "Producer Yu..."

"I have a project to cooperate with Director Ye and Producer Yu. How are you discussing with Emperor Ying?"

Chen Mengxi answered very naturally.

Yu Weiguo's expression was a little unnatural: "...they are still thinking...but what projects should producer Chen and director Ye cooperate with?"

"An action movie..."

“…active…action movie?”

Yu Weiguo was stunned for a moment.

The action film market has been sluggish in recent years. Think about it, even Uncle Long has played a funny feature film like "Baby Plan"...

Ye Weixin said goodbye with great scrupulousness, Chen Mengxi said: "Producer Yu, please wait a little, I'll give Director Ye a message..."

...

"It's not action movies that are falling, but kung fu stars. Kung fu movies have always existed, and they are rooted in the bones of Chinese people, but we lack good forms of expression, especially actors. Donnie Yen also needs a representative work. I hope this "Ip Man" is his "Wang Feihong". Come on!"

"...Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to shoot!"

"Tell me about Zhen Zitan. In "Ip Man", he will not serve as action coach. Let's find Mr. Ye Huai and Hong Jinbao as action coach!"

"I think so too, let him concentrate on acting..."

When Ye Weixin left, Chen Mengxi calculated a little. The shooting cost of "Ip Man" was about 38 million yuan, and it was not difficult to make money, but how to sell overseas copyrights?

I have to go to Cannes next year!

"Painted Skin", "Ip Man"...

While thinking about it, Yu Weiguo returned to his previous position. He said enthusiastically: "The producers should be very busy these days..."

"Not busy at all, I'm going to die of free time!"

"…Uh," Yu Weiguo choked, but said: "Then let's attend a banquet together tonight!"

"Banquet? I..."

Chen Mengxi was about to refuse, but Yu Wei Guodao: "It's all insiders!"

"Okay." Chen Mengxi nodded: "Why are you gathering?"

"Emperor decided to invest in "Shinjuku Incident". After two years, Cheng Long appeared in a Hong Kong film again... Yang Shoucheng decided to hold a small banquet, which was considered to be a celebration in advance!"

"Oh...I'll change my clothes!"

Celebrate?

Will the mainland not be tried in celebration of the Shinjuku Incident?

...

After 2004, Hong Kong's film industry further deteriorated, and only King of Kings, China Star, Universal Asia and Starlight Company were left...

China Star is bound to Du Qifeng, while China Asia has the support of its imaging business. Every year, just selling DVDs and TV copyrights are enough to support itself. Xinghui knows that there is Zhou Xingchi behind it.

In 2016, Huanya invested in "The Legend of the Mermaid Pearl", "Chasing", and "The Storm of the Bandits", and almost lost her underwear...

Emperor Ying, the industry is very large, and I don’t expect Emperor Ying to have a meal. The entertainment industry is just Lao Yang’s harem group…

Ahem...

However, Lao Yang and Uncle Long are indeed in good relationship. Prince Fang debuted in "Thousands of Machines 2". Chen Bolin, Cai Zhuoyan, Zhong Xingtong, and Zhen Zitan collectively matched him...

Uncle Long also made a guest appearance in the movie King of Kings, and he specially made soy sauce at the end of "The New Police Humanity". "The New Police Story" also uses Xie Tingfeng...

This time, the Shinjuku Incident has invested more than 100 million yuan, and it is basically unlikely to recover the cost!

Lao Yang voted for Cheng Long, and he voted for "The Sun Rises As Normal" like him. He lost a lot of money, and then he voted for "Let the Bullets Fly" without hesitation. Jiang Wen is valued!

Chen Mengxi had read a report before, and the comparison was between Huang Zhongjun and Yang Shoucheng. He demoted the former in a distorted way, which was obviously a stepping on humanities, but there is a saying that is right, Yang Shoucheng has no aura!

I am greedy and lustful. I know I am not a good person, but I am very generous to my friends!

That's probably what it means.

Chen Mengxi arrived at the scene and was stunned. He knew most of the people here, but they didn’t know him!

The only exception is Liu Yifei, who is standing next to Yang Shoucheng, with a quiet face...
Chapter completed!
