Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Xiao Bing, what are you doing? You keep playing on your phone while eating. Are you chatting with some girl?"

In a restaurant, Zhu Qianqian looked at her boyfriend sitting opposite with dissatisfaction.

From the moment he started eating until now, Wang Xiaobing has been staring at his phone and typing non-stop, ignoring what he is saying.

"Oh, no." Wang Xiaobing put down his phone and looked up at his girlfriend: "I'm having a debate with a group of people in the forum."

"controversy?"

"Remember that novel called "The Wandering Earth"? Some people said that selling the copyright to Hollywood directors and letting them film it, I am firmly opposed to it."

"Why? Didn't you say that the novel was so well written that our country's directors couldn't film it? Then leave it to the Hollywood directors." Zhu Qianqian was a little puzzled.

"You don't understand, if a Hollywood director shoots it, can it be made into a Chinese-style science fiction?! They will definitely shoot it like this!"

"How to shoot?"

Wang Xiaobing adjusted his glasses and said: "It will definitely be filmed as a small team saving the earth. According to this idea, the male protagonist must be a white retired veteran, and the female protagonist is a white sexy beauty. She is responsible for intelligence integration and the male protagonist. She is the most beautiful person in the team. Take responsibility.”

"Well, there must also be a black person as an assistant. The kind who can sweep everything with a Gatling and make jokes at the same time, or be a knowledgeable scholar or priest or something."

"Then there are no us Chinese?"

"There doesn't have to be a Chinese, but there must be an Asian, a taciturn technical man, who looks clumsy, and who will sacrifice his life for the protagonist at critical moments."

"In the end, there are a few stupid, thick, white men who serve as cannon fodder."

Zhu Qianqian chuckled after hearing this: "Xiaobing, what you said is really good. You can definitely become a Hollywood screenwriter."

Wang Xiaobing laughed.

As his girlfriend, there is nothing else but that she likes to blindly worship him.

"However, Qianqian, the science fiction produced in this way does look very Hollywood, but is it still our Chinese science fiction? Just grab a lot of them in Hollywood, it is a waste of this novel!"

"Then what do you think the Chinese should do?" Zhu Qianqian asked.

"I don't know." Wang Xiaobing shook his head honestly: "After all, I'm not a screenwriter, but I think someone can."

"who?"

"The author of the novel, Yu Dongqing, is a director and also writes the script. He definitely knows how to shoot!"

Wang Xiaobing looked determined.

"I will go to his Weibo and leave a message @him now." Wang Xiaobing said and took out his mobile phone.

Yu Dong was very helpless.

Recently, Weibo, which used to be relatively quiet, suddenly became lively again, and fans left messages @themselves on it.

The main thing is to ask whether the "Wandering Earth" will be handed over to a Hollywood director?

Yu Dongqing was annoyed and directly posted a Weibo post.

A very simple sentence: "I will not hand over this novel to a Hollywood director to adapt it into a movie. I hope that our domestic directors can make Chinese science fiction blockbusters."

But I didn’t expect that fans would leave more messages.

"Director Yu, you can shoot it yourself."

"Yes, if you adapt your own novel and film it yourself, you will definitely be able to make the science fiction blockbuster you want!"

One even left a message: "Master Yu, your martial arts movies are so good, you will definitely be able to make more popular science fiction movies!"

What kind of divine logic is this?

Anyone who makes martial arts movies can definitely make science fiction movies?

Where is this?

But in the original time and space, it seems that someone tried this.

This is the "Black Man" series produced by the famous Mr. Xu.

The director is Hong Kong Shi's Li Rengang, and Tsui Hark is just the screenwriter and producer.

Tsui Hark has always been known as a strong producer. Many of the films produced by Tsui Hark can be said to be Tsui Hark's works.

"Black Man 1" stars Jet Li. He was originally a member of the mysterious killer unit 701. He later hid in Hong Kong and became an ordinary librarian and became friends with Inspector Shi.

When Unit 701 invaded Hong Kong in large numbers and the police were unable to recruit them, Xu Xi had no choice but to step forward and fight against Unit 701 as a black man, a typical action science fiction film.

The box office wasn't too bad, but compared with Jet Li's previous movie "Legend of the Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", the latter was simply a few blocks behind the former.

In the second film, "Dark Man 2", the protagonist was replaced by newcomer An Zhijie, and the plot had nothing to do with the previous episode. The plot completely let itself go, making it the worst movie of the year.

It’s not that the martial arts part is too bad. Although there is no Jet Li, An Zhijie has a tough appearance and can also do some boxing and kicking. The film’s martial arts director is the famous Yuen Woo-Ping!

Back then, Yuan Heping also served as action director for "The Matrix 2" and "Kill Bill"! That's a proper Hollywood blockbuster.

Martial arts action scenes are Mr. Xu's strong point, but the garbage plot, 50-cent sci-fi special effects, and excessive attempts to cater to the tastes of North American audiences ultimately led to "Black Man 2" becoming a third-rate work that blindly follows the trend.

You know, at that time Hollywood had already produced "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and other special effects blockbusters that stunned the audience at that time!

Since then, Tsui Hark has never touched a science fiction film again.

If you can play martial arts movies, you may not be able to play science fiction movies.

Therefore, Yu Dongqing once again had no choice but to ignore the messages from fans.

It is already March in spring, and the grass is growing and the orioles are flying.

Although Yanjing is a bit more windy and sandy, there are still many fun places to visit when the wind is not blowing. Yu Dongqing often takes his wife and children out for walks.

Gubei Water Town and Banshan Flower Sea are relatively niche but fun places.

Or just a few close friends go fishing and drink tea in the tea room.

But today, Yu Dongqing is going to attend a friend's wedding.

Wang Dongsheng is getting married, and the bride is actress Chen Li.

The two met three years ago while filming the movie "Anyang Baby". As a result, the movie was blocked, but Wang Dongsheng found love.

Three years later, the two held hands and entered the marriage hall.

Yu Dongqing received an invitation call from Wang Dongsheng a week ago, inviting the couple to attend the wedding ceremony. Yu Dongqing readily agreed.

This morning at almost eleven o'clock, the couple put on new clothes and went out.

The place where Wang Dongsheng held his wedding was in a hotel near Hujialou. Yu Dongqing and his wife drove there. When they arrived at the wedding site, they saw that the banquet was not large.

They were basically friends and classmates of the two of them, with very few relatives. Later I found out that both of them live in other places, and they would have to re-apply when they return.

The people who came here were basically people from the film and television industry, and Yu Dongqing also knew a few of them, such as his old partner Li Wan, and director Li Fen, who had filmed the movie "The Piano of Steel" written by Yu Dongqing, including those who had participated in Li Those directors at Wan Gathering.

On the contrary, Mingliang knew more people, either from Yandian or from Zhongxi, and they kept saying hello.

During the banquet, Yu Dongqing and his wife naturally sat at the same table as Li Wan.
