Chapter 972 Liu Changqing
In his previous life, Mr. Tsui's "Once Upon a Time" series was a classic action movie in the history of Hong Kong movies.
Whether it is action design or movie connotation, it has completely subverted everyone's inherent impression of action and kung fu movies. Xu Laoguai perfectly blends all aspects of factors and themes into one pot, which is both solemn and humorous, elegant and vulgar, and can be entertaining.
, without losing seriousness.
Through this series of films, he expressed his own view of history and his thoughts on the historical destiny of China in the late Qing Dynasty when it faced "changes unprecedented in thousands of years."
It can be said that in the history of previous kung fu movies, the "Once Upon a Time" series is definitely the most dazzling diamond star.
Compared with the previous "Once Upon a Time", the script written by Lu Wansong is very different.
"Liu Changqing", this name is not only the name of the movie, but also the name of the protagonist in it.
However, the background and location of the story are still very similar to "Once Upon a Time".
It is also the unforgettable period of late Qing Dynasty history, and the characters were also born in Guangdong, but not Foshan, but Guangzhou.
"Actually, I am from Guangzhou. When I was a child, I loved the storytellers in the teahouses at that time, especially the ancient knights who punished evil and promoted good. This was my favorite when I was a child. So this is why I came to Yanjing to study after graduating from high school.
The reason why Mr. Hong practices martial arts is that at that time, Mr. Hong starred in various kung fu movies, which gave people the impression that he was a master of kung fu."
Speaking of this, Lu Wansong let out a deep sigh. After more than twenty years of youth, he had spent all his time practicing martial arts.
If he didn't have a certain amount of willpower and persistence in his heart, he probably wouldn't have persisted.
Later, he introduced the origin of his idea for the script to Yang Ming: "When I was a child, the adults around me often told the story of Liu Changqing. Our local storytellers in Guangzhou also often told the story of this man. He was a heroic hero, fought against injustice, and saved lives.
It can be said that I grew up listening to the story of Liu Changqing, so I always wanted to put this story on the screen."
Yang Ming read the general content of the script and already had a certain understanding of Liu Changqing.
He comes from a martial arts family, he has been practicing martial arts since childhood, he is modest and good at helping others, and has a high reputation in the local martial arts school. However, in the dark and turbulent era of the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese were always inferior to others in their own land.
Guangzhou is no exception. The government preys on the common people, and the oppression of foreigners makes the people in the whole city miserable. Even if Liu Changqing is kind to others, he cannot escape the shackles of fate.
Beat bad guys, beat officials, and beat foreigners. If a great man hadn't suddenly overthrown the Qing Dynasty, Liu Changqing's end would have been a tragedy.
Because Liu Changqing had been imprisoned by the government at that time, and no great man appeared, the result can be imagined.
After seeing the information about Liu Changsheng's life, Yang Ming felt that this movie was very exciting, but the script still needed to be overhauled.
He couldn't help but ask: "Is Liu Changqing a member of the Nanquan school? There are many words on Wucuo Novel Network"
Chinese martial arts, southern boxing and northern kicking, Kung Fu masters from the south are basically good at boxing.
Lu Wansong heard the words and said: "Yes, although nearly a hundred years have passed, and many stories were made up by storytellers, according to the information I investigated, Liu Changqing could indeed be called a great master at that time, and he was also the master of Lingnan.
According to my research, Iron Wire Fist, I-shaped Fuhu Fist, and Tiger-Crane Double Shape Fist are all Liu Changqing’s specialty boxing techniques. Moreover, he also eliminated the shortcomings of the previous southern boxing techniques, which were dull, narrow, and repetitive, and became a martial art.
Unique in the world.”
When it came to martial arts, Lu Wansong immediately became energetic, his eyes shone, and he enthusiastically introduced the information he knew to Yang Ming as if there was no one else around.
With Lu Wansong's introduction, Liu Changqing's image of promoting national quintessence, upholding justice, acting bravely, helping the weak, and helping the world has become more and more full, gradually overlapping with the screen image of Huang Feihong he knew in his previous life, and in this
Liu Changqing left many popular anecdotes in the martial arts world during his lifetime, which can also be slightly changed and turned into plots in movies.
Yang Ming slowly had ideas for revising the script in his mind, and then said: "This script company can put it into production."
Lu Wansong, who was talking, didn't react for a moment, and was still introducing Liu Changqing's information history. After a moment, his voice stopped suddenly, looked at Yang Ming, and asked with a trembling tone: "Mr. Yang, is this book company really good?"
Shoot!”
"Yeah!" Yang Ming nodded.
The company had originally planned to focus on shooting Kung Fu movie series next year, and Lu Wansong's book just met Yang Ming's requirements.
Lu Wansong asked in an extremely nervous mood: "What about the director's choice..."
He hesitated to say the next words, but the meaning was obviously obvious.
Yang Ming couldn't help being happy when he heard this. He pretended not to notice the other person's expression and asked, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Lu Wansong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Recommend someone else?
How could he take the initiative to recommend others to make a movie about the life of his childhood idol after he carefully prepared the script? But how could he give up the opportunity to others that he had dreamed of for many years?
He looked up and saw the half-smiling look on Yang Ming's face, and immediately understood that the other party was making fun of him. He scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Yang, I volunteered. Over the years, I have been a martial arts instructor.
I have worked as an assistant director and directed one or two low-budget films. I have basically held all the positions on the crew. I believe that I can make this film well and will not let the company down."
Seeing Lu Wansong's serious look, Yang Ming also straightened up, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said gently: "You are worrying too much, don't worry, you will be the one to write this book. The company has a plan to support newcomers.
And you have so many years of work experience, so you are no stranger to making kung fu movies."
Having said that, Yang Ming still has some things to explain.
After all, he wanted to make this movie into a series, and the first one was crucial.
"The name "Liu Changqing" is too unappealing. People who don't know it might think it's a documentary!" Yang Ming pondered, "In this way, change the title to "Liu Changqing: Top Gun". In this way,
If it sells well at the box office, it can be made into a sequel."
Lu Wansong was surprised when he heard this and said in surprise: "Sequel?"
"Yes!" Yang Ming nodded, "I just listened to Liu Changqing's life information, and I feel that there is a lot of content in him that can be explored, and he can be made into a series. By the way, do you have any actors in mind?"
Originally he just asked casually, but to his surprise, Lu Wansong actually nodded and said: "Actually, I feel that Kong Yifan is more suitable, but his salary may be higher."
