Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Of course Yu Dongqing didn't know what was happening. He finally waited for his daughter to finish her homework and took her home. Seeing that it was already ten o'clock and there was no time to practice piano, she quickly urged her daughter to wash up and go to bed. After that, Yu Dongqing returned to the study to think about it. The script thing.

In fact, the movie is ready-made.

It turns out that there were many classic martial arts movies in that time and space. Yu Dongqing preferred the martial arts film "The Swordsman 2: The Undefeated" produced by Tsui Hark and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, starring Jet Li, Brigitte Lin, Rosamund Kwan, and Michelle Reis.

This film is the second part of the "Swordsman" trilogy series. It is also the one with the most market influence. When it was released that year, it grossed HK$200 million at the box office across Asia, single-handedly pushing martial arts films to the top.

The filming style of the film is both weird and gorgeous, full of tragedy, and is regarded as a masterpiece of martial arts films.

Brigitte Lin's version of The Invincible is simply at the pinnacle of aesthetics.

Also accompanied by wine, wielding a sword like the wind, Jet Li's version of Linghu Chong is chic and comfortable, and there are two beauties, the junior sister Yue Lingshan played by Michelle Reis and Ren Yingying played by Guan Zhilin. The three beauties compete for beauty.

It's him!

But Yu Dongqing faced a problem.

There is no book "Swordsman" in this time and space!

"The Swordsman 2: The Invincible East" is just a plot in the book that has been magically modified by Tsui Hark. The characters and story must be explained clearly, otherwise the audience will be confused.

Also, the character Dongfang Bubai has a shemale setting, is it still appropriate? How about changing into a woman disguised as a man?

Presented as a man, and finally a beautiful woman.

These require careful consideration.

Don't rush, think slowly.

Throughout September, in addition to picking up and dropping off her daughter, Yu Dongqing also exercised and spent most of her time at home writing scripts. The impatient Zhang Yang even called to urge you to finish your "Tuner" script in less than a week. How about this martial arts script? It’s been almost a month and there’s still no movement?

"Slow work leads to careful work." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

Finally, during the National Day, Yu Dongqing wrote the script and Zhang Yang wanted to preview it. Du Hui and Liu Yimin were also curious, so several buddies made an appointment to discuss it at Liu Yimin's house.

Also going with me was Ming Ming.

The weather is nice today, with clear skies. The four brothers came to Liu Yimin's house one after another and sat in the small courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Mingliang also sat on the side with a stool. But she doesn’t like drinking tea and prefers milk tea.

"Where's Xiaoqi? You won't have any rest during the National Day holiday?" Mingliang asked.

"I didn't have to attend the "Double 11" party, so I only had one day off yesterday and went to the company to rehearse today." Liu Yimin shook his head as he spoke.

Ever since the song "Pure Land" became a hit, H.Dgirls became an instant hit. Variety shows continued, and his daughter was busier and tired than before, which made him feel very distressed as a father.

Finally, it was the National Day, but the company only gave me one day off, and I went to rehearse a new dance. I heard that it was a dance music written by a Korean.

Fortunately, my daughter is young and not afraid of getting tired, and she is very happy.

After everyone chatted for a few words, the topic focused on the script.

"Yesterday I sent the electronic version of the script to your email. Now I want to hear your opinions." Yu Dongqing said.

"Holly, you have such a rich imagination. Not to mention the Dugu Nine Swords, the Sunflower Book, there is such a martial arts? What other star-absorbing techniques are there? Tsk tsk, the name of this martial arts move is very eye-catching." Zhang Yang It's a compliment.

Suddenly he changed the topic: "Holly, what role do I play?"

"The former leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, let me do whatever I want."

"Damn it! Another villain?!"

"Actually, it's not bad. He can also absorb the mind." Du Hui teased.

Yu Dongqing's script is actually a blend of the plots of the original Swordsman 1 and 2 movies, simplifying many plot structures and focusing on the second movie "The Undefeated East".

The big villains in books like Yue Buqun are only briefly mentioned. Dongfang Bubai is both good and evil, and Ren Woxing becomes the villain in the movie.

However, Zhang Yang only muttered a few words, saying that he was not a celebrity and had no idol baggage, so it was quite fun to do whatever he wanted.

Liu Yimin read the script carefully, and suddenly noticed something, and his eyes looked bright.

"What's wrong? Brother Yimin?" Mingliang asked.

"I think the heroine Dongfang Bubai written by Dongqing seems to be tailor-made for you." Liu Yimin suddenly said.

"Yes, yes, I have a similar feeling." Zhang Yang interjected: "This character is heroic, charming but not seductive, gorgeous but not vulgar. Bright, you might as well figure it out!"

In fact, Meili feels the same way.

When she got the script and saw this character, her eyes suddenly lit up. Such a woman is a real heroine.

Moreover, in the script, there are many roles, both good and evil. It is completely unlike some martial arts films where the heroine is just a beautiful vase decoration.

For a moment, she felt a little excited and turned to look at Yu Dongqing sitting next to her.

Yu Dongqing felt helpless after hearing this.

No.

It turns out that the Invincible Dongfang played by Lin Qingxia in Time and Space has this image, but the bright temperament is somewhat consistent with it.

However, Yu Dongqing omitted the setting of the Oriental Invincible Shemale in the script, and it was just an androgynous strange woman who pretended to be a man.

Seeing Mingliang looking at him, Yu Dongqing smiled and said, "I can play it, but this role will have to suffer a bit."

"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Mingliang thought clearly.

Since it was tailor-made for her by her brother-in-law, how could she let him down?

And she also likes the role of Dongfang Bubai very much.

If she knew that Dongfang Bubai turned out to be a shemale, would she still have such thoughts?

The four of them were discussing. Du Hui, who had been silent while watching the script, found a problem and suddenly said:

"Dongqing, I saw this plot in the script: Oh, on page 13, the protagonist Linghu Chong and his junior sister Yue Lingshan played a song with two elders on the boat. Are you going to write a new song for "A Laugh in the Sea"? "

"Yeah." Yu Dongqing nodded: "It's going to be the theme song of this movie."

""A Smile in the Sea", this name is great!" Zhang Yang turned to this page and said with a smile: "I want our band to sing!"

Of course.

There is more than one good song in the movie Swordsman.

After reading the script, everyone didn't put forward many opinions. After all, they were not professional screenwriters. They just expressed their own opinions on certain aspects.

In particular, she was a little dissatisfied with the name of her starring role, Dongfang Invincible: "Brother-in-law, why does it sound like that man's name?"

He is a man to begin with.

However, Zhang Yang and the others said it was good: "It sounds domineering! It fits the character's design!"

Since several people said this, Meili didn't say anything more.

After the script was finalized, the next step was to plan the crew. Yu Dongqing went to find his old partner-Li Wan.
