Chapter 286. ["Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"](2/2)
Li Jian took it with some excitement, and Yi Feiyang actually took out the lighter again, intending to light it for him. This time, Li Jian was not only excited, but directly moved.
How many times have we touched each other's noses when we invested in filming, and either we were ridiculed or ridiculed by others? How have we ever received such respect? What's more, the other person is a well-known figure in Hollywood.
Invisibly, Yi Feiyang's inadvertent actions and the words "we are all a family" comforted Li Bian a lot, and his mood gradually stabilized.
"In fact, my script is based on a martial arts novel by Wang Dulu..." As soon as Li Yi said these words, Yi Feiyang's heart moved.
"By the way. I wonder if you have read Mr. Wang Dulu's novel?" Obviously, Li Bian was afraid that Yi Feiyang had not read the original work and had little understanding of this martial arts novel.
"Those I have seen, although they are old martial arts, have a different flavor." Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "Especially Mr. Wang Dulu, he is the tragic sect among the five northern sects and is known as the master of writing love."
Li Bian was stunned. He didn't expect that Yi Feiyang really knew something about an "old martial arts master" like Wang Dulu.
"My script is adapted from his novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"..."
Sure enough!
Yi Feiyang is determined, and it seems that Li Ying is planning to film this drama.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was listening attentively, Li Xian confidently explained the content of the adaptation.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was originally called "The Legend of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The title contains the names of the protagonists Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong, and also indicates their fate. Yu Jiaolong is the daughter of the nine admirals, although she loves
Luo Xiaohu, but in order to protect the official reputation of his father and brother, he had to marry the ugly Hanlin Lu Junpei; Yu, Luo Xiaohu got married on Lu's happy day, and Yu Jiaolong ran away, relying on the power of the stolen Qingming Sword to travel around the world; and because of stealing
"Jiuhua Secret Book" was controlled by the female thief Geng Liuniang. For this reason, she was besieged by "chivalrous Taoists" such as Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian. Later, when she learned that her mother had died and the family was ruined, she took the opportunity to jump off a cliff and met Luo Xiaohu after escaping.
However, due to the concept of feudal family status, she believed that the daughter of a noble family could not commit herself to bandits after all, so after a night of tenderness, she still rode alone in the desert with a sword.
It's just that Li Bian increased the traditional love between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian in the original story and made them the protagonists. In comparison, the rebellious love between Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu became a green leaf.
After Yi Feiyang listened to Li Bian's script, he directly stated this point and asked Li Bian: "Why do you want to adapt it like this? Aren't you afraid of destroying the original version of the story?"
Li Jian didn't expect that Yi Feiyang would understand it so thoroughly. It seemed that he had actually read the original work.
Nonsense, the drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in his previous life was very popular, and Yi Feiyang took advantage of it to read Wang Dulu's original work, and even Nie Yunlan's adaptations of "Yu Jiao Long" and "Spring Snow Vase". So we talk about these
The characters are absolutely clear and logical.
After thinking for a while, Li Yin said confidently: "Actually, regarding the original work, I most admire the author's traditional approach, which is full of nostalgia for Chinese classical society and culture. To a certain extent, it is very realistic, without sensationalism or deviance, and
The design of the female character is particularly outstanding, and there is also a tragic ending, both of which are unique in martial arts films."
"But if we want to promote this drama to international release and make it acceptable abroad, we must start from the core, which is the contrast between rebellious love and traditional conservative love..."
Next, Li Bian talked about his script concept, shooting techniques, etc. to Yi Feiyang. He explained it very carefully, and Yi Feiyang also listened very carefully. Although Yi Feiyang had watched this drama in his previous life,
What is certain is that it is definitely not as fascinating and vivid as what Li Bian is talking about now.
About half an hour later, Mr. Li finished talking about what he had hidden in his heart, and then he picked up the cup and took a big sip, but he forgot that it was whiskey and not coffee, and he choked to tears.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect him to be so "unexpected" and hurriedly handed over the tissue. Li An wiped it with some embarrassment, fearing that he would make a fool of himself and lose all his previous efforts.
Fortunately, Yi Feiyang said: "I like your story very much!"
"What? What did you say?!" Li Xian asked in surprise, not even bothering to wipe the wine stains with a paper towel.
Yi Feiyang repeated with a smile: "I said I like your story, and if possible, I am willing to invest!"
This is simply great news!
Li Xian was stunned, and then he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"God, thank you so much! Really... thank you so much!" He didn't know what to say, and he didn't expect Yi Feiyang to agree to him so easily.
In fact, for Ang Lee, who has dreamed of martial arts since childhood but has always been good at literary films, Wang Dulu's works with a strong literary atmosphere and strong traditional meaning just provide a broad space for development. What's more, originally "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" should
The one who shone brightly at this Oscar was Yi Feiyang, who flapped the wings of a butterfly because of his appearance. As a result, Li Bian still failed to recognize his talent. Now that Yi Feiyang agrees to help him film this movie, it can be regarded as a kind of guilt-free compensation.
Seeing that Li Bian was so excited that he almost spilled the wine glass on the table, Yi Feiyang said with a smile: "Okay, don't be so excited, bring the script to our company tomorrow and we will give you a reply after reviewing it.
"
"Thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity!"
"You don't need to thank me, I should thank you!" Yi Feiyang smiled and then raised his glass to invite, "Come, let's have a drink and wish you a happy cooperation!"
Chapter completed!
