40 [Braining Ideas]

Ye Jin handed the script of "Snake-shaped Hand" he brought to Wu Siyuan.

Wu Siyuan then opened it and looked carefully.

Yuan Heping also came over and watched with him.

The two of them were not very happy to read, and they finished reading the script nearly a quarter of an hour.

After watching, the two looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.

"It's really the waves of the Yangtze River that urge the waves of the previous waves!" Wu Siyuan sighed, "We have just survived, and you waves of the future have come after us, so we don't even have a chance to breathe."

"A Jin, your script is so well written, let us seniors do it?" Yuan Heping smiled, "We are about to have no food to eat."

"Brother is making fun of me." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "Director Wu can do martial arts, I can write and act. The three of us unite and have a joint fortune. How can we say we have no food to eat?"

Hearing that he said, both of them laughed.

"A Jin, your script is well written and very suitable." Wu Siyuan said immediately, "I decided to shoot this script, and you will be the starring actor. The script is 5,000 yuan, and the salary is 20,000 yuan. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, Director Wu." Ye Jin nodded when he heard this.

Xiangjiang's script has never been worth much. Even the script written by Ni Geng is only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although Ye Jin knew that the actual value of the script "Snake Shame Hand" was far from 5,000 yuan, even if it was 100,000 yuan, 200,000 was not much. But in this case, he couldn't say anything.

As for the 20,000 yuan salary, it is naturally not a big deal. However, considering that he has not been a male lead yet and has not shown his ability to bear the box office alone, the 20,000 yuan salary is reasonable. After all, when Chen Xing filmed "The Bang Ketan", his salary was only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was half less than him.

Besides, Ye Jin knew that as long as this "Snake-shaped Hand" was filmed well, it would be a blockbuster. When he became popular, his pay would naturally increase, and he would not be more petty.

"Big eyes, you will be the martial arts guide." Wu Siyuan looked at Yuan Heping again and said.

"No problem." Yuan Heping nodded.

The few times I worked with Wu Siyuan have been very smooth and got along well. Since that's the case, why not continue to cooperate?

"Actors, Bai Changtian, who do you think is suitable to play?" Wu Siyuan asked with a smile again, brainstorming.

"Bai Changtian needs a person who understands kung fu to play. According to my opinion, Master Guan Dexing is the most suitable one." Yuan Heping suggested.

Guan Dexing is a well-known movie star in Xiangjiang. He has starred in dozens of Huang Feihong movies. His image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so everyone respectfully calls him Master Guan. He has a very high status and is very famous in the Xiangjiang film industry. He is a respected veteran.

"Bai Changtian is a hidden hero who likes to dress up as a beggar, laugh, scold, and play in the world. Master Guan's image of Huang Feihong has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is serious and has a master style. It seems a bit inappropriate to let him play as a beggar." Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "Actually, I have a good candidate."

"Who is it?!" Yuan Heping and Wu Siyuan asked curiously.

"It's the father of my brother, Senior Yuan Xiaowei." Ye Jin smiled.

After hearing what he said, Wu Siyuan's eyes lit up.

"No, no, my father has retired." Yuan Heping waved his hand quickly.

His father is already 61 years old. The so-called "people do not care about their muscles and bones as their ability, because they have been engaged in martial arts work for many years, which has also caused him to be injured all over his body. Now he has finally retired and enjoys his old age. How could Yuan Heping bear to let his father come out and work hard again?

"Hey, my brother, we just need to let the old man show his face. The main martial arts movements are replaced by others." Ye Jin advised, "In this way, the old man won't work too hard."

"It's still not possible." Yuan Heping shook his head and said.

Their brothers can make money now, and they don’t wait for the old man to start work and eat, so they don’t want the old man to eat at all.

"Brother, the old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles." Ye Jin advised again, "The old man may not be unwilling to come out of the mountain. Please take this movie and discuss it with him. If he is indeed unwilling to come out of the mountain, then we don't have to force it anymore, what?"

"Big Eyes, A Jin is right." Wu Siyuan also advised, "The script of "Snake Shame Hand" is very good. If it is filmed, I think it will definitely be a big shot. You also hope that the old man will finish it beautifully and return to the world with a glorious style."

When Yuan Heping heard this, he frowned and then nodded.

Although his father had entered the entertainment industry in the 1930s and had already started to serve as a martial arts coach in the 1960s, he is the oldest martial artist in the Xiangjiang film industry.

However, his father has been in the art for so many years and has almost no representative works. Because his father has taken many Cantonese fragments before, the quality is low and he has never been a male lead, it is naturally difficult to leave an impression on people.

So in this life, except for the title of a senior, there are almost no outstanding works. If you retire, you will retire, and there will be almost no one to keep. It is really pitiful to think about it.

In this "Snake-shaped Hand", Bai Changtian played by the old man is a very important role, comparable to Hong Qigong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

If this movie really becomes popular, then the old man may indeed have a second chance to make his career popular again. In this way, it would be worthwhile for his life to end his successful work.

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad." Yuan Heping was finally willing to nod.

"Yes." Wu Siyuan and Ye Jin nodded.

...

"Shangguan Yiyun, who do you think is suitable to act?" Wu Siyuan asked again.

In the original version of "Snake Shame Hand", Shangguan Yiyun is starring Huang Zhengli, a South Korean Taekwondo master known as the Leg King.

Huang Zhengli has the seventh-stage certification of Taekwondo black belt. He once participated in the army in the 1960s and really kicked people to death on the battlefield. Therefore, he is a very powerful figure and is respected as the greatest leg skill master in the history of Kung Fu movies.

However, at this stage, Huang Zhengli should still be in South Korea and has not come to the Hong Kong Film Festival. At least Ye Jin has never heard of this person.

"How about it?" Yuan Heping suggested.

"Bao Akira Kurata is a suitable candidate. But he should be very busy now. As far as I know, he has taken on other companies' scenes and may not have time to shoot our scenes." Wu Siyuan considered.

"Director Wu, what do you think is the role of the official Ren Shi?" Ye Jin suggested.

Ren Shiguan is Yan Zhendong, the iron shirt in "Huang Feihong: The Great Ambition", Feng Xifan in "The Deer and the Cauldron: The Dragon Master", and Ren Woxing in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten". He also collaborated with Cheng Long in "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist", and also played the role of the boss.

"Well, I think he is good." Wu Siyuan nodded, "If he doesn't have a schedule, we can also consider Chen Huimin. He is also good at it, but unfortunately he was not well displayed in "The Hungry Tiger and the Dragon". I think he can show it well in "The Snake-shaped Hands"."

Ye Jin and Yuan Heping both nodded.

"There are also Liang Xiaolong and Huang Yuanshen, and they can also play some suitable roles." Wu Siyuan said again.

Both of them have real skills and he is optimistic about their exhibition.

Ye Jin and Yuan Heping nodded again.

"By the way, A Jin, before the filming of the movie begins, I hope you can have plastic surgery." Wu Siyuan suddenly spoke again.
