12 [Second Male Lead]

The midnight trial received a good response, which made a huge rock in Wu Siyuan's heart fall into the ground.

Excited, he warmly invited everyone to have a midnight snack.

Of course, everyone would not object to this proposal and went there happily.

"Director Wu, this drama has received such a good response. I think you can start preparing for a new film." At the table, Yuan Heping smiled at Wu Siyuan.

Wu Siyuan nodded. Judging from the reactions of the midnight audience, this movie may indeed be very popular. In this way, he has the capital to shoot a new work.

"Big Eyes, I still hope to cooperate with you in the new work." He looked at Yuan Heping and said.

The movie "Dang Ketan" is made by Yuan Heping. The martial arts routines designed by him are wonderful and beautiful. Everyone praised him for his wonderful fighting just now. It can be seen that it was not in vain to ask him to be a martial arts ruler.

"Of course. It just so happens that the "Stealing Talisman" in my hand will be finished in about twenty days, and it is definitely in time." Yuan Heping smiled.

Wu Siyuan nodded, then looked at Ye Jin, "A Jin, I have to thank you for your idea when this movie can be released. Come on, I'll give you a cup!"

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Director Wu, I should toast you this glass of wine. I wish you a big box office success in this movie." Ye Jin raised his glass and smiled, "Come on, I'll do it first."

"Okay." Wu Siyuan also drank the wine in the glass, and then said to Ye Jin with a smile, "I actually have an idea in the new film, and I am going to invite you to play the second male lead."

"The second male lead?!" Ye Jin was overjoyed when he heard this.

He originally thought that having a character with lines was enough, but he didn't expect that Wu Siyuan was really moral, so he gave him a second male lead. This really made him overjoyed.

"Thank you, Director Wu for your support, I'll give you another cup." He said with a hurried smile.

"I'll write the script these days, and you'll get it in two days." Wu Siyuan said with a smile again.

"Yes, I know Director Wu." Ye Jin nodded, feeling very excited.

...

A few days later, there are more than a dozen media entertainment versions that have reported on "Dang Ke Dao" and their evaluations are basically good.

Ming Pao praised the novel story of "Dangkok Beach" for its twists and turns. Especially the protagonist Jianghu Ke is well portrayed, and the thief is also very good, and it is full of the style of a hero.

"Chengbao" praised the wonderful fights of "Dangkok Beach". The actors selected have real skills, so their every move has their own rules. Unlike some kung fu films, they are all fancy moves.

Overseas Chinese Daily praised the real scenes of "Dangkok Beach", abandoning the traditional set shots of sets, and changing to field scenes of field shots, strengthening the realism of the movie.

Seeing the evaluation of "Overseas Chinese Daily", Ye Jin almost laughed out loud.

The reason why Wu Siyuan filmed in the countryside of New Territories was not to pursue reality, but because he could not afford the rental fee for the set. Whether it was filming at Xiao Cinema or Jiahe, he had to pay the rental fee for the venue, which cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a day, and popular attractions had to be scheduled and waited for, not to say that he could shoot just by wanting to.

The production funding for "Dang Ke Dao" is not large, and it is not enough to rent a venue at all, so it can only be filmed in the wild. However, it is wrong, which increases the realism of the movie.

...

The midnight show is usually previewed for several days.

In the next few days, the attendance rate of "The Band of the Corps" gradually increased, and its reputation gradually fermented, attracting more and more viewers to watch.

By the fourth day, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the theater tickets were sold out, and several theaters that were previewed at midnight were all full. This indicates that the movie will definitely be a big seller. Ye Jin was very happy when the news came.

In the afternoon of that day, Ye Jin took the bus to Wu Siyuan's house to get the script while he was finishing work early.

After entering, I saw Wu Siyuan packing his luggage.

"Director Wu, are you going to go far?" Ye Jin asked curiously.

"No, go to Siam and sign a contract with Chen Xing." Wu Siyuan nodded.

After Chen Xing finished filming "The Killing Beach", he went to Siam to continue filming. Now that "The Killing Beach" is becoming popular, he will also become famous in one fell swoop, so Wu Siyuan hopes to work with him again and shoot a few more similar movies.

"Oh, are you afraid that he will be taken first?" Ye Jin smiled.

"Smart." Wu Siyuan nodded, "I have heard the news that several film companies in Xiangjiang saw that Chen Xing was going to be popular, so they also asked him to film. Although I had called him for a long distance and asked him to set aside and leave the opportunity for me, I still feel more at ease when I traveled for myself."

Ye Jin nodded.

"By the way, you are here to get the script." Wu Siyuan smiled, "For you, this is your share."

"Thank you, Director Wu." Ye Jin took the script respectfully with both hands, and saw that it was a stack of bound white paper with four big words written on it - "The Hungry Tiger and the Mad Dragon".

"A Jin, you play Fang Heng, the assistant of the male lead." Wu Siyuan introduced, "Get the script home and study it carefully and figure out the role. Don't let me down."

"Yes, Director Wu." Ye Jin nodded. Knowing that Wu Siyuan was going to catch the plane, he stopped disturbing him and said goodbye and went home.

...

After returning home, Ye Jin couldn't wait to open the script and read it.

The story of "Hungry Tiger and Mad Dragon" is written that in the 20s, Japan was going to invade Middle-earth in large numbers, so a master nicknamed "Hungry Tiger in Mount Fuji" came to Middle-earth to transport back to Japan's agents to collect information.

After receiving the news, the National Government sent Wanliyun, nicknamed "North China Mad Dragon", to destroy the operation. So Wanliyun brought his assistant Fang Heng to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and sneaked into the business of the traitor Lin Santai, waiting for an opportunity to inquire about the news and destroy the operation.

In the end, [North China Mad Dragon] fought hard against [Hungry Tiger on Mount Fuji], and destroyed all intelligence in a timely manner to defend his motherland.

To be honest, the story is quite cliché, but it is better to match the current audience's taste. In the film, the characters are also very important. Not only are there many scenes and many fighting scenes, but they even arrange a relationship scene.

In the script, the traitor Lin Santai is doing serious business on the surface, but in fact he is selling humans behind his back, plundering women and selling them to Nanyang. It is precisely because of this that Fang Heng saved a robbed beauty and had a romantic scene.

However, in Kung Fu movies, emotional scenes are not the center of attention, they just stop. Not to mention bed scenes, there is no connection between kisses, just like the heroes in Kung Fu movies have to abstinence.

After reading the script and thinking carefully, Ye Jin's mood gradually calmed down and then he discovered some shortcomings.

Although he is the second male lead in the movie and has a lot of roles, he is basically not outstanding. The truly outstanding characters are [Fuji Mountain Hungry Tiger] and [North China Mad Dragon]. These two characters are basically a two-man configuration and are rich in color. No matter how many other characters appear, they are just foils.

Just like Jackie Chan filmed "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", Alan Tam is clearly the second male lead, but because there are few outstanding plots, his light is completely covered up by Jackie Chan, and he is not even as impressive as Laura Fangna and Guan Zhilin.

Therefore, Ye Jin knew that he had to do something, otherwise even if the movie became popular, he would not benefit the most.

The articles in the play are not easy to write. They are all foxes for thousands of years, so no one should play Stories from a Chinese Studio. If he adds the show, steals the show, and steals the limelight with the protagonist during filming, he will definitely be noticed.

Chen Xing has become famous now, and even Wu Siyuan has to go to Siam to sign a contract with him. If he makes him unhappy, Ye Jin's scenes may be greatly deleted or even kicked out.
