June 8th.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu Huai walked out of Hangzhou Airport in formal attire.
The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.
Everything looks promising.
This trip to Hangzhou is, to some extent, a journey that determines their destiny.
It also concerns the future of Wing Chun and Hung Gar styles of boxing.
They looked in the direction of the "remote" entertainment in the distance.
Suddenly a little surprised.
"Remote" Entertainment is located in the high-tech park in the northernmost part of Hangzhou.
They knew this place. It used to be a barren land with no birds or shits...
Well, no one paid much attention to it after it was developed for a long time. Even though the relevant authorities had said that they would vigorously develop it and invested hundreds of billions of yuan to build so many commercial buildings, it was of little use.
After the first batch of commercial buildings were developed, the housing prices here were once the lowest in Hangzhou.
Investors are not optimistic about this piece of land. They think it is a bit far from the city and the transportation is not very good.
Can appreciate in value...
But even if it can appreciate, it will take more than ten years, or even decades...
Decades later...
Who knows what this society will become?
However, just last year, when the relevant departments planned to build a key high school next to this school and built a subway station and other measures, the housing prices here suddenly skyrocketed, more than doubling.
Everyone present was a little stunned.
They thought that this growth would stop, but what surprised them even more was yet to come. This growth did not stop, but continued to grow exponentially. At the same time, more and more people rushed over here, and the place became more and more lively...
The relevant departments have some surprises.
Of course, after the surprise comes some weirdness.
They knew that with their strong support, this place would be more or less lively, but...
The speed at which things are becoming lively is really beyond their expectations, right?
What on earth happened?
After they investigated the reasons, they suddenly felt a little sad.
That’s the relationship with the “remote” entertainment that was moved here last year.
Last year, remote entertainment made its mark in the entertainment industry, and this year, remote entertainment has suddenly become increasingly popular in the entertainment industry with an unstoppable momentum...
At this time, naturally some people who had nothing to do began to analyze "remote" entertainment.
The analysis was normal at first, but as I analyzed further, the path suddenly went astray.
It's all about feng shui.
China...
Everyone has this nature. It's normal to be involved in Feng Shui and so on, right?
Then...
A Feng Shui master with decent reputation on the Internet walked around next to the "remote" entertainment, counted with his fingers, muttered something, and then suddenly got shocked and said that this was a so-called Feng Shui treasure land, where wealth and prosperity would come and support people!
Whoever comes will be awesome!
Anyway…
Unlucky people come here to have good luck, and good people come here to have even better luck…
When it first spread, it was circulated as a joke. Although many people criticized this kind of speech as feudal superstition, but...
A bunch of people suddenly started to believe it, and then three people make a tiger, and everyone wanted to move to the "remote" entertainment to share in the good luck.
Then, in the second half of last year, several entertainment media moved here every month, and finally...
This place developed out of nowhere and suddenly became a new emerging point in entertainment media?
Although this so-called "master" and the so-called "feng shui" are most likely smokescreens deliberately created by the developer, when the relevant departments saw that the housing prices here were rising and the surrounding construction was gradually catching up, they no longer said anything.
After all, no matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat, right?
Gu Huai and Chen Zihe were both deeply moved along the way.
"Remote" entertainment actually has such a great influence that if nothing unexpected happens, the entire remote entertainment will become another film and television entertainment area.
When they arrived at the door of "Remote" Entertainment, they felt something in their hearts.
They stopped.
Suddenly I felt a little uneasy and hesitant.
This step forward may change their future.
This is the kick that decides fate.
Finally, they walked inside.
…
"Mr. Lu..."
"Well, please take a seat."
"Boss Lu, today we are going to..."
"Oh, the main purpose of coming here today is to learn from you about some things about Senior Ip Man and Senior Huang Feihong. I also want to learn from you about the current situation of martial arts..."
"Oh... Mr. Lu, this is the information we brought..."
"Oh, let me take a look first."
In the conference room.
Li Qing, Lu Yihong, Xu Lu, Wei Wuji, Li Qi, Xia Hong…
Except for Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long who are promoting the program in Taiwan, almost all of Lu Yuan's "lackeys" are in place.
Everyone looked very energetic, and the entire conference room was filled with an indescribable sense of anticipation.
"You Are the Apple of My Eye" is still in theaters, but this does not affect the company's filming of new movies.
The new movie is a martial arts film.
And it is a series of martial arts action films.
Martial arts action movies...
This is a very mixed bag of movies.
The former glory and the current desolation, many things make people sigh.
You basically don’t see any martial arts films in the film industry now. Martial arts films have been labeled as losing money, and are almost the same as China’s science fiction films.
If other directors were to make a martial arts action movie, I guess no one would have much hope.
But, if this person is Lu Yuan.
So……
Everything is different now.
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan in front of them silently.
After Lu Yuan took a quick look at the information about "Ip Man" and some Wing Chun routines, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly looked at Gu Huai.
“Brother Gu…”
"Mr. Lu, go ahead."
"Ip Man is a master, and a master should have a master's bearing. Brother Gu, if you were asked to play Ip Man, how would you react to the provocation of others?"
Play Ip Man?
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became a little strange.
Let a person with no acting experience play the leading role, Ip Man?
Even though he is the representative of Wing Chun, this decision...
Is it a bit abrupt?
However, this strangeness only lasted for a while, and they suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Artists who are performing remotely seem to have come this far…
so……
Gu Huai is also normal?
but……
Why do I feel more and more weird?
"Mr. Lu, are you going to perform here?" Gu Huai's heart skipped a beat. He tried hard to suppress the incredible shock in his heart and returned to normal.
"Yeah, yeah, let's play with it here."
"Okay!" Gu Huai nodded, then under the gaze of his wife Chen Zihe, he stood up and closed his eyes.
He knew that Lu Yuan was now testing his acting skills.
The meeting room was silent.
He fantasized about such a provocative situation.
Then...
He opened his eyes.
A neither humble nor arrogant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he slightly clasped his fists towards Lu Yuan. He seemed neither arrogant nor polite.
At this moment, his temperament began to become somewhat elegant.
"Please enlighten me!"
Lu Yuan was slightly stunned.
Gu Huai got into the state quickly, giving Lu Yuan a very good feeling.
but……
Lu Yuan always felt something was wrong.
After looking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Gu, please change the lines..."
"Ah? What do you want to change?"
"Wing Chun, Ip Man." Lu Yuan imitated Ip Man's expression of being ready to show off in his mind according to his memory, and then he struck a similar pose to Gu Huai.
Everyone was stunned.
At this moment, the winner is immediately apparent!
After changing the lines, the tone of the speech suddenly became more impressive. At the same time, Gu Huai felt that Lu Yuan's aura was stronger than his own.
Gu Huai felt inexplicably dazed.
seem……
Is Mr. Lu more suitable for this role than me?
"Well, Brother Gu, this is pretty good...Okay, Brother Gu, can you make another sad expression?"
"good!"
“…”
"Brother Gu, you are happy and proud. I think you are Ye Wen..."
"good!"
“…”
The entire conference room looked like an audition.
Basically, it was Lu Yuan who was testing Gu Huai, and Gu Huai was dealing with it.
Gu Huai was nervous at first, but then he began to adapt to this rhythm...
He really worked hard on his acting!
Moreover, I had been following the crew before, so I have an innate advantage in understanding acting over others.
In short, these things can't stump him at all.
Everyone just kept watching this sudden audition...
Everyone was a little confused.
Aren’t they talking about a new movie? How come it has turned into an audition to test the male lead?
Half an hour passed.
When Lu Yuan confirmed that Gu Huai had no problems at all and that his acting skills were even better than he had imagined, he nodded with satisfaction.
There is no doubt that Gu Huai is the candidate for Ip Man in his mind.
"Um...Brother Gu, sit down."
"good."
"Well, everyone, next, I want to talk about the filming details of this movie. I already have the outline of the script for this movie. The Grandmaster, combined with the previous historical background, is finally combined into a plot."
"Director Wei, the plot background of this movie is like this..."
Lu Yuan smiled and began to explain the plot of "Ip Man".
The plot of the movie "Ip Man" is not full of twists and turns. Although many things seem profound, they are actually very simple when broken down.
Lu Yuan remembers "Ip Man" very clearly...
“???” When Fatty Wei saw that Lu Yuan narrated the entire plot of the movie “Ip Man” without any hindrance, he was a little stunned.
etc!
Just one short night.
You're coming out now?
"Old Li, there are a few fighting scenes that need some attention during the filming of this movie. Oh, by the way, I had nothing to do last night, so I drew the action design drawings and moves. Oh, they're not very good, so you can just make do with them... Oh, Brother Gu, if possible, I hope you can also serve as the action director of this film. Oh, of course, you can come and take a look... Wait a minute, I'll be back soon..." After Lu Yuan finished telling Fatty Wei the story and context, and watched Fatty Wei fall into deep thought, he suddenly looked at Li Qing and Gu Huai. Halfway through his speech, he left the meeting room. As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, he took a stack of manuscripts...
Lu Yuan restored as many classic fighting scenes as he could...
All the moves from "Ip Man" that Lu Yuan remembered have been performed here.
"..."After seeing the stack of manuscripts, the two were stunned for a moment.
What?
In one night, the plot was thought out, but these messy things were also produced?
"Xu Lu... yes, that's you... You are playing the leading lady this time. Of course, although you don't have many scenes, every time you appear is very important. What I want to tell you is the scene when Ip Man and Jin San are looking for a duel, and some of the things you have to do and the arrangements..." When Li Qing and Gu Huai were in turmoil, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to Xu Lu again.
"Ah? Okay, Mr. Lu..." Xu Lu was at a loss, and subconsciously took a pen to quickly record Lu Yuan's words.
After writing it down, she was in a trance for a moment.
so……
How should I act? Everything has already been planned?
"By the way, Lao Lu, are you interested in playing the role of Zhou Qingquan in the movie? Ip Man's friend... Let me tell you about his experience in the movie... He is..."
“…”
"Xiaoyang, you are very young, there is a role that suits you. Your green hair... well, dye it a little bit, long hair is just right for this role. The name of this character is Sha Danyuan, and his identity is..."
“…”
Meeting room...
Lu Yuan looked at everyone and talked about everything in the movie "Ip Man".
Time passes little by little...
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone is a little dazed...
seem……
Mr. Lu has arranged everyone’s identities?
etc!
We were supposed to be discussing acting, how did it turn into...
Mr. Lu is the only one directing everyone to make a movie and act out roles?
Although it's weird...
but……
It seems that the contents of Mr. Lu’s instructions are irrefutable and reasonable.
seem……
Now even if Mr. Lu doesn’t provide the script, this “Ip Man” movie can still be released?
Mr. Lu’s brain...
How does it grow?
"Well... our movie Ip Man is different from other movies. What is a hero? Is a hero someone who takes revenge and repays kindness a hero? That was the old view. I think the concept of a hero is what is said in The Legend of the Condor Heroes Trilogy: 'The greatest heroes serve their country and their people.' That's what a real hero is!"
"Um...Ayuan..." Upon hearing this, Fatty Wei suddenly raised his hand like a primary school student.
"What's wrong?"
“What is The Legend of the Condor Heroes Trilogy?”
"The Condor Heroes Trilogy is three martial arts novels... You... haven't read The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" Lu Yuan was suddenly shocked.
etc!
This world seems...
"Although the saying 'a great hero serves his country and his people' is really good, but I... I have never seen 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'... and I just searched it, and I found that I can't seem to find it online..." Fatty Wei looked at Lu Yuan, his expression becoming more and more confused.
“…”
"A Yuan... this novel, you didn't write it, did you? With your... habit of advertising at any time, you didn't..." Fatty Wei suddenly realized that it was a bit awkward to say this, after all, so many people were looking at him...
then……
He shut up.
"Well, these are not important..."
Lu Yuan was indeed embarrassed.
He thought that there was no Mr. Jin Yong in this world...
Even……
There will be no The Legend of the Condor Heroes...
so……
he……
What a misunderstanding.
