When Chen Kun heard what Yue Guan said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately asked: "You won't let me backtrack, will you?"
"Definitely not, just revise the script." Yue Guan shook his head: "In Xu Ke's script, Dongfang Bubai fell in love with Linghu Chong."
Chen Kun coughed loudly.
Shocked.
"I have watched "The Swordsman". Dongfang Bubai fell in love with Linghu Chong... Isn't this nonsense? What should Ren Yingying do? Where is Yang Lianting? Director Xu wrote this script... "
Chen Kun was embarrassed to say the next words.
In his opinion, Xu Ke was simply making up some nonsense, and he wanted to apologize to the people of the country by making it up like this.
In fact, Daxia Jin and Chen Kun in the previous life had the same idea.
"The Swordsman: The Invincible East" is regarded as a classic by many movie fans, but Daxia Jin does not accept this kind of adaptation.
It is indeed very advanced to be reasonable.
If Lin Qingxia hadn't performed so well, the audience might not have been able to accept it.
Without Lin Qingxia to act, as for the current bunch of little flowers, it's not that Yue Guan looks down on them, it's mainly because they really can't give Yue Guan confidence.
Might as well film according to the original work.
The scenes of Dongfang Bubai in the original work of "The Swordsman" are also enough to be explored, and there is no need to force the emotional line.
"If you act in it, the script will definitely need to be overhauled. Just follow the original work. Dongfang Bubai was Ren Woxing's subordinate at first, and then he practiced "Sunflower Book" and defeated Ren Woxing. From then on, I am the only one in the East. Defeat. Cut off Yang Lianting and create an ambitious hero who is ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to himself. You can also arrange a showdown between Dongfang Bubai and Feng Qingyang, "Sunflower Collection" VS Dugu Nine Swords, Dongfang Bubai VS Feng Qingyang, movie fans will probably want to watch it.”
Chen Kun's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Yue Guan, I think fans will like it if we shoot it this way."
"The audience may not like it if we shoot it the way Director Xu did, but it will definitely be more stable."
Yue Guan had some preconceptions before.
Now think about it, Dongfang Invincible's high popularity in this world was not helped by Lin Qingxia, but it relied on her own strong style to become popular.
So just dig in this direction.
I don't know how high the box office will be, but the investment for this kind of martial arts movie will not be too high.
If it can have a box office of 200-300 million, it will definitely make money.
"Brother Kun, are you interested?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid, but can you convince Director Xu? A great director like Director Xu is usually difficult to convince." Chen Kun was a little worried.
Yue Guan smiled: "It would have been a bit difficult to convince me in the past. After all, I promised Director Xu that the "Swordsman" project would be left to him to control."
The price was that Xu Ke helped Tang Yan film a movie called "Red Practice".
"But Xu Ke has been looking for an actress for a long time and hasn't found the one he likes. I guess he himself is desperate. If I mention it to him now, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"As long as you can handle Director Xu, I can join the team at any time after I finish filming "Feng Shen"." Chen Kun did not hesitate.
Although "The Invincible of the East" will definitely not have the box office of "Fengshen", but think about it and know that it will be his one-man show.
For him, a martial arts movie with a single hit at the box office doesn't have to be too big. As long as it makes a small profit, it's a success.
Moreover, martial arts movies can actually help him compete for the Best Actor Award.
Especially with the help of Xu Ke.
Xu Ke had a pleasant cooperation with him before. The classic image of Factory Flower was created by Xu Ke for him.
By cooperating with Xu Ke again and letting Xu Ke create a version of Dongfang Invincible played by him, Chen Kun feels that he is likely to have another masterpiece outside the circle.
In this sense, "The Invincible" means as much to him as "Feng Shen". After all, even if "Feng Shen" explodes at the box office, the biggest credit is definitely not his.
After taking care of Chen Kun, Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan talked to each other and asked her to contact Xu Ke.
Mr. Xu's storytelling ability is already in short supply. If he were asked to overhaul the script, he would definitely be waiting and it would not delay the filming of "Feng Shen".
As Yue Guan expected, although Xu Ke was a little reluctant, he still had no choice but to accept after hearing that Chen Kun was the candidate chosen by Yue Guan for the Eastern Invincible.
He still has a very good impression of Chen Kun. Their previous cooperation was also successful. Now that they will collaborate again, fans will look forward to it.
As for his previous script, Xu Ke had no intention of giving up.
He decided to keep it for now.
Maybe one day I'll have the chance to shoot it again.
There can be several versions of Dongfang Invincible, but Xu Ke doesn’t think this is a big deal.
Yue Guan has no objection to this either.
Anyway, let’s take one version first.
The movie version of "The Legend of the Legend of the Condor Heroes" was a huge success, and the industry also had great expectations for the movie versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Swordsman", but there has been no action.
This disappoints many book fans.
We can't keep them waiting.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Yue Guan really doesn't know how to change it, but "The Invincible East" is still easy to change.
Moreover, Yue Guan is considering whether to also tinker with "East Comes West" and "Ashes of Time".
Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written by Taizu, the copyright has expired long ago and anyone can film it.
The higher-ups wanted him to save the martial arts genre, but Yue Guan basically put this matter behind him. The proposition was too big for him to solve.
But it’s okay to let the martial arts genre come back to light a few times.
As long as there are a few successful examples, other capital will be attracted to enter this market. With capital, it is impossible for martial arts themes to explode, but if it becomes a small hit, we can still look forward to it.
Yue Guan thought this way, so he put "East and West" and "Ashes of Time and West Poison" on the agenda.
…
The filming of "Feng Shen" went very smoothly.
Although Wu Ershan has only made three movies before, his experience is not like that of a three-time man, and the crew is well organized.
In addition, the crew hired all talented people, so they cooperated fairly well with each other, and the progress was somewhat faster than expected.
In less than two months, Yue Guan completed filming the first part of the "Fengshen" series.
Under normal circumstances, Yue Guan should stay on the crew and finish filming the trilogy directly like the other actors.
But Yue Guan had an invitation and had to keep it.
Wu Ershan said goodbye to Yue Guan in a grand manner: "Coming back with a Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor will open our eyes."
Yue Guan smiled: "The Best Actor Award this year is definitely out of the question. Director Wu, if you work harder, maybe we can go to the Golden Dragon Awards together next year."
Yes, this year’s Golden Dragon Awards have begun.
Yue Guan was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor for his performance in "Pure Heart·Chasing Dreams".
It is a common practice in the industry that if you don’t go to the event, the award will not be awarded to you.
If you don't go for other awards, you won't go. You still have to give face to the Golden Dragon Award.
So Yue Guan happily went to the appointment.
He estimated that he wouldn't come back empty-handed this time, although he probably wouldn't be able to win the Best Actor Award.
