Chapter 181 The New Version of Ip Man(3/3)
………………
February 18, Zhao's Financial Building.
When Zhao Donghuai saw Hong Yinbao, Yuan Biao, Qin Xianglin and others coming hand in hand, he just signaled for Qiu Shuzhen to make tea.
Hong Qianbao hurriedly waved his hand and smiled brightly, "Don't bother Sister Zhen, we will do it ourselves. Little sister, why don't you hurry up and get some tea."
The little girl he called was Zhong Yanhong. These guys discovered the novel (New Mr. Zombie) on July 31 last year and planned to remake it (Five Lucky Stars). It has been five or six months now.
.
There was no need to find anyone to adapt the novel. The original scriptwriters were Hong Pingbao and Huang Bingyao. They came together to rewrite the plot and everything came out.
Just add a time traveler!
The most difficult thing here is how to make the story after time travel more exciting, like the version of Gu Tianle (New Mr. Zombie), where he learns Taoism, marries a beautiful woman, and becomes an upright commander who protects the country and the people. The main theme is so comfortable.
, also very strong.
The film adaptation of Qimou... A group of people discussed it until the end, and added a sixth lucky star, Chen Baixiang. The opening scene has an extra scene of a green man played by Chen Baixiang, who was beaten to death while giving someone a cuckold, and then Axiang traveled through time.
Then Chen Baixiang's green hair continued to cause trouble after traveling through time, and went to jail, only to find that he had entered the story of the Five Lucky Stars movie?
After being released from prison as the Sixth Lucky Star, Chen Baixiang did not work with the Five Lucky Stars. Instead, he took the initiative to hook up with Xia Wenxi, the daughter of Chen Chao, the king of counterfeit money, and stole the girl who played the role of the original Taibao.
The follow-up was to cooperate with the Five Lucky Stars and send Chen Chao to prison and eat royal food for the rest of his life. However, Chen Baixiang harvested all Chen Chao's inheritance and wealth and became a rich man.
In fact, the key male actors in the Five Lucky Stars series of movies do not need to be handsome, but they need to be funny.
Chen Baixiang was cast to play a green guy who specializes in molesting others. There is really no need to doubt the comedy power of this A Le!
After watching the movie with a group of people from the Five Lucky Stars crew, Zhao Donghuai laughed many times. However, after watching it, he still said bluntly, "The filming was good, but compared to (New Mr. Zombie), it still feels a bit different."
.”
This version of the story of the Five Lucky Stars, brought together by Chen Baixiang and others, is very funny. It is much more exciting than the original track where Mai Jia participated in the story of The Best Lucky Star and the Lucky Star Entering the World.
But how can I put it, the movie-watching experience is still not as refreshing as (New Mr. Zombie), it just lacks a different taste.
Hong Yinbao also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we spent a lot of time during the filming, and we spent a lot of time preparing new jokes. Only in the end did we realize that the logic of the main plot was poor and the quality was not good enough!"
"When Mr. Zombie is adapted, the main plot is very stable and the logic is strong. He is the protagonist of the new time travel. The development trajectory is clear at a glance. The main plot of catching thieves in the Five Lucky Stars series is compared with learning Taoism, marrying a beautiful woman, and then becoming a warlord... It is weaker in many levels.
, a similar pattern is not enough.”
"I feel like this movie can be a hit and make a lot of money, but its influence is definitely not as good as New Mr. Zombie. Not every movie can take advantage of Time Traveler."
"So I have saved up some films about the Republic of China. Can you help me check them out, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Donghuai was speechless. When he read Sanmao's new script in the big office, he was surprised by the title of the opening chapter, (Ip Man)!!
This is really amazing. You must know that the original Ip Man was only filmed in 2008. The screenwriter of the original Ip Man is only 9 years old this year, and is still in elementary school??
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. First of all, Ip Man really exists. Although the real Ip Man experience is very different from that shown in the 2008 version of Ip Man movie.
But in his life, Ip Man taught an apprentice, Bruce Lee. Countless people know that adapting Ip Man's biopic movie is to stand on Bruce Lee's shoulders.
From the perspective of publicity and distribution, the film company transformed the life story of Bruce Lee, the master of the world's legendary superstar, into a script and made a movie, which naturally has a huge movie viewing base.
With the current creative power of Hong Yanbao and one of his right-hand men, Huang Bingyao, they are aroused by a bunch of hit biopics and want to start their own biopic series?
Hong Yanbao, Cheng Long, Lin Zhengying, including Yuan Biao, all started to rise in the era of Bruce Lee.
With a lot of thoughts running through his mind, Zhao Donghuai flipped through the Ip Man script and roughly read it. He found that this version of Ip Man was 60-70% similar to the 2008 version of Ip Man.
After he read it, Hong Qinbao sneered, "We can get the adaptation rights, but Master Ye has some issues and it's not convenient to put it on the big screen, so it's been beautified a lot."
The real Ip Man was short, rich and handsome, smoked big cigarettes, visited brothels, etc... too much is not suitable for the big screen today.
But the most important development of the story is that Ye Wen established a sect in Foshan and became the number one in the martial arts world. He defeated boxers from other places who came to challenge the martial arts world in Foshan. Then Foshan fell and the Ye family was robbed of all their wealth and lived a humble and miserable life.
Later, he competed in the ring, defeated the martial arts masters of the island nation and ran away.
The story line of fighting in the ring can be said to be copied from Huo Yuanjia's deeds, which can easily arouse emotional resonance among Chinese audiences. Brother Xiao Long's Fist of Fury is the best example.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "The book is good, who are you going to cast?"
Hong Qinbao was excited, "Master Ye, I plan to let Ah Biao play the role. Ah Biao is 30 this year and can fight well. He can also perform Wing Chun. As for the boxer who comes from other provinces to challenge the Foshan martial arts world, I plan to play it myself."
"For the masters from the island nation, I plan to choose Billy Zhou and Yasuaki Kurata."
"But if we really want to shoot it, we will have to go to the Mainland to shoot a lot of scenes. We will also need to use the Mainland's shooting manpower and material resources. Not to mention making it as grand and grand as Wang Wenxia's Legend, at least it will have to be decent."
This Ip Man is said to be 60 to 70% similar to the original story, in which the foreign boxer played by Hong Yanbao, Master Hong Fist, was defeated by Ip Man and was moved by Master Ip's charm and became Ip Man's subordinate.
When the island country invades China, there are two big bosses at the end.
The last one was between Ip Man and Billy Chow. He won the Open in front of countless people, but was blackmailed and ran away to Hong Kong Island.
The other is inside the island base, where Master Hong, played by Hong Yibao, kills Yasuaki Kurata.
Wing Chun? The Prodigal Boy starring Yuen Biu in 1981 is the story of Ah Biu studying Wing Chun hard to avenge his master and kill the villain.
Thinking of this, Hong Qianbao said again, "Chen Hong, please? Anyway, in the whole script, Master Ye is a good man who is afraid of his wife and loves his wife... There is no hand-holding scene, and the character is also a lady, a good wife and a loving mother."
