Chapter 117: Sword Immortal Li Jinglin.
Just when Huayi was in a state of turmoil, the media broke out that the reason why Wang Jinghua had a conflict with Huayi's senior management was because Xiaogang Cannon's new film [Night Banquet] used outsiders in casting.
The news broke out, which was definitely a bit worse for Huayi. The Wang brothers were originally stubborn and said: Huayi could leave anyone, but in fact, they secretly contacted many celebrities to invite them. If Huayi was asked, the conditions were quite generous. However, as soon as the news was exposed, all their efforts were in vain.
What attracts Huayi the most is its resources, but when the videos shot by its own company are all given to outsiders, is such a company worth joining?
The Wang brothers were almost furious. If you think about it, you will know whose method came from. However, the Wang brothers could not clarify it, because the heroine of the "night banquet" was Zhang Ziyi, and she had nothing to do with Huayi. The reason why she invited her to be the heroine was simply to value her box office appeal overseas. It is almost impossible to make a profit by investing in "night banquet" in China, and the overseas market is the top priority.
As for Ge You, although he is the male lead of Xiaogang Cannon, he is not from Huayi, and the second male lead Azu also did not sign a contract with Huayi.
Regarding the Wang brothers: The reason why this film is useless is because [Night Banquet] wants to seek breakthroughs in the international market, it is to deceive outsiders. People in the circle sneer at this statement. The Wang brothers have confirmed the name of "foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures."
In this trouble, Zhou Xing had already applied for a visa to RB, but just two days before he was about to leave, Anli suddenly found him.
"Your itinerary will probably be pushed back a few days later. Jiang Zhiqiang plans to make a film about Huo Yuanjia. The director is Yu Rentai. Originally, this role was planned to invite Li Lianjie to star in it, but his salary is too high and the crew cannot afford it. Jiang Zhiqiang was very satisfied with your performance in [Ten-side Ambush] before, so he recommended you."
After hearing Anli's words, Zhou Xing couldn't help but lit up his eyes. Huo Yuanjia had a very unique position in the minds of his generation. When he was a child, a TV series from Xiangjiang was broadcasting in the mainland, and it was so crowded. Every night, all the young and old would gather in the village. The only person with a TV set was unwilling to leave until the ending song was played.
What Zhou Xing and his children usually hummed the most is "The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River will surging thousands of miles away."
On the other hand, Yu Rentai was not very satisfied with Jiang Zhiqiang's recommendation, because his main focus in this film is Kung Fu, and not everyone can play the role of Huo Yuanjia. After watching [Ten-sided Ambush], he admitted that Zhou Xing's acting skills are pretty good. However, Zhou Xing is not a kung fu star after all, can he support this role? The best candidate in his mind is Li Lianjie.
Jiang Zhiqiang persuaded: "Of course I know that Li Lianjie is more famous and is more beneficial to overseas distribution. However, you have to know that his salary is $1,200, not RMB, and we are not Hollywood crew. We can't get this money."
Yu Rentai sighed when he heard this. In fact, many domestic film companies want to invite Li Lianjie back to film. Li Lianjie himself also hopes to come back, because in Hollywood he can only be regarded as a second-tier star, while in China, he is a veritable Kung Fu Emperor, but the pay is a gap between the two sides.
12 million US dollars is converted into about 110 million yuan. Even if Li Lianjie is generous and takes a fraction of the money, it will be a full 100 million yuan. Nowadays, it is rare for mainland movies to exceed 100 million yuan. What are the benefits of paying this 100 million yuan?
In comparison, Zhou Xing's pay was only 18 million yuan, and his box office appeal was quite good, and several movies performed well at the box office.
"Can he fight? This movie is not a martial arts movie. Just keep the Wild High and the Heights high. If you fight really, you will fight."
Yu Rentai's tone had betrayed him. Jiang Zhiqiang knew that he had been told, so he became angry: "I just called Xu Ke and he highly recommended Zhou Xing. Moreover, I also heard that Liu Jialiang recognized him as his junior nephew. You should know how stubborn this old man is. People who he recognizes must have two tricks."
"Will it be useless to say it's useless? Let's talk about it when I see someone."
Zhou Xing was determined to win the role of Huo Yuanjia, and he also made sufficient preparations for this.
"System, switch to the fighting technique interface."
As soon as the picture in front of me changed, there are two major categories of fighting techniques interfaces, one is ancient martial arts techniques and the other is modern fighting techniques.
Below modern fighting techniques are: boxing, Sanda, judo, Muay Thai...
And below the ancient martial arts techniques are: Baji, Xingyi, Taiji, Bagua...
Zhou Xing looked through for a long time before he found Huo Yuanjia's mysterious fist under the Huo Family Tantric Fist. In addition to exchanging the boxing technique, Zhou Xing exchanged for another Wudang sword technique and Baji gun technique.
Zhou Xing has had practical combat and has some experience in boxing, so he did not rush to learn Mitsujiquan, but instead clicked on Wudang Sword Technique.
The whole world in front of him was shattered, and suddenly a light came. Zhou Xing realized that he was in a certain schoolyard.
"I, Li Jinglin, founded the National Museum here, not to establish a sect, nor to be respected as the founder of a sect. But now the country's fortune is vague. I think my country is invaded by overseas barbarians, and even called my Chinese people the "sick man in East Asia". Li is not talented and is willing to publicly teach the secret Wudang sword technique, to describe the body of the Chinese people, and to strengthen the hearts of the people..."
Zhou Xing was shocked all over. Who would have thought that the introduction to Wudang sword technique was fortunate to be taught by Li Jinglin, a sword immortal in the Republic of China.
On the ring, Li Jinglin was holding a long sword and had already begun to demonstrate the Wudang sword technique.
"The key to using a sword is to observe changes. If the other moves slightly, I will move first. If it moves, it will change, and if it changes..."
After Wudang sword technique, Zhou Xing tapped the Baji Gun Technique again.
"The Baji people only practice one weapon in their lifetime - the Liuhe Hua Gun. The so-called Liuhe, eyes and heart, heart and hands, hands and steps, steps and gun, gun and waist, waist and force, the Liuhe Hua Gun's song says: The gun with withdrawal is shocked, and the ghosts are shocked, and take a step back without mercy. Hidden sticks in the body of the horse spear, and the sticks in the sea spear hide in the gun. The gun changes the hand and the gun contains a wonderful mechanism, and a single pistol is bright and the white crane jumps..."
Zhou Xing was surrounded by a child, but at his teens, he was holding a big gun and stance, which seemed to be like that.
The man who taught the gun kept correcting the child's figure, holding the gun gesture, and showing a gratifying expression in places where the child could not see: "My son's writings will become a great man in the future!"
