Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 142: This is going to die!

Li Qiutang was invited to visit the crew of "The Myth".

God bless him, he didn't know anyone on that crew! What kind of crew was he looking for?

But the art director of this film was Jackie Chan, and Jackie Chan invited him to visit the set, and he couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, after Jackie Chan finished filming "Little Big Soldier" in Yanjing, he specially came to the "Myth" crew in Hengdian for this visit.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for Li Qiutang not to know anyone in the entire crew.

This visit to the set was also to add some exposure material to the crew. Li Qiutang is very popular now, and his visit to the crew and the release of the documentary would also generate some popularity.

"How can I be popular? Brother, you are the most popular person in the crew." This statement is really true. Jackie Chan is in the crew, so why does he need anyone else to add popularity?

"You are in Hengdian too, come over and sit down with us." Jackie Chan said politely.

Li Qiutang and Jackie Chan sat in the director's room, watching Jiang Jiajun filming together. The set was still working.

Speaking of the movie version of "The Myth", Li Qiutang said he liked it very much, especially the theme song of the same name: "Other people's singing is tasteless, so you have to listen to the original version."

Jackie Chan likes singing very much, but he is not known for his singing skills. However, he sang the song "Myth" very well, and the duet with Kim Hee Sun was full of emotion.

Sun Nan and Han Hong's versions are not that good.

Jackie Chan really likes people praising his singing, so he hummed a few lines on the spot for Li Qiutang and the staff around him.

Li Qiutang was used to the way movies were shot. When Jiang Jiajun announced that this one had passed, Li Qiutang was a little surprised: "It passed just now? Can it be used?"

I shoot half a page a week, and you shoot seven or eight pages a day!
It’s still easier to make money from TV dramas.

Jiang Jiajun brought Jackie Chan and Li Qiutang to the set to meet the actors.

Director Xiao Li is quite famous in the industry, and all the main creators on the set greet him very much.

Li Qiutang met the three main actors, Hu Ge, Bai Bing and Zhang Meng, on the set.

I have to say that Bai Bing and Zhang Meng are now first-class beauties.

"Hello, Director Qiu Tang."

Although it was a bit impolite, Li Qiutang still asked Hu Ge softly: "Does this affect your acting?" and pointed to the right corner of his eye.

Hu Ge was not shy about it and said, "It will have an impact, but I can find a way to change my hairstyle and cover it up with my bangs, and it will be fine."

Li Qiutang nodded and said, "I heard from your director that you are the most active and annoying person in the entire crew."

Hu Ge laughed and said, "No way! They played crazier than me. I was just a representative who was pushed out."

Jackie Chan added: "The fact that you can be the representative is very telling."

"Director Li, what do you think of our performance just now?"

"Very good." I came to visit the set and if I had to say something nice, a documentary was being filmed on the set.

According to the "script" for the set visit, Li Qiutang was going to extend an olive branch to the male lead Hu Ge: "You act very well and are very popular. I want to recruit you to our crew. Give me your phone number later."

Jackie Chan hugged Hu Ge and said, "This is my leading actor. You can't come to visit the set and try to poach him."

The atmosphere during the visit was very good. After a few jokes, Li Qiutang and Jackie Chan left.

Li Qiutang and Jackie Chan were riding in the same car. Before he got in, someone called him:

"Director Li, Director Li."

A man he didn't know chased after him. The man introduced himself as Zhang Meng's agent and handed over a business card: "This is my business card. Our Zhang Meng likes you very much. We have a lot of questions to ask you. If it's convenient for you, please feel free to contact us."

Li Qiutang held the business card in her hand, looked at the agent, and then looked at Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan smiled, as if he was used to this kind of situation, and said, "Take it. He is your fan. Let's communicate more in the future."

Li Qiutang said with a smile: "I don't deserve your advice, let's learn from each other and communicate with each other." Then he got in the car. Jackie Chan is known as a playboy in the underworld, and he has played enough of this kind of thing, but Li Qiutang really doesn't like it. I'm chasing after the fairy sister over there, why do I have to go out like this!

In front of Jackie Chan, Li Qiutang tore up the business card and threw it out of the window.

Jackie Chan's expression of "We are all men, I understand you" disappeared in less than two seconds.

"You do not want?"

"No." Li Qiutang said, "This is boring."

Jackie Chan didn't think it was a big deal to just play around outside, but he also had a new respect for the director Li in front of him.

He has seen men who are not lustful, but all the men he has seen who are not lustful are in their forties or fifties and can't think of anything lustful. But Li Qiutang is only 25 years old. Which boy of this age is not lustful? Who would believe it if he told others about it!
Jackie Chan thought Li Qiutang had a mental obsession in this regard, and took the initiative to teach him his experience: "Just think of it as a short-term relationship."

But Li Qiutang still said that she was not interested in this aspect.

Jackie Chan asked carefully: "You are...?"

He must have misunderstood. Li Qiutang laughed and said, "What are you thinking? I'm chasing a girl here, how can I do such a thing?"

"That's right, don't play around if you're chasing girls." Jackie Chan said with a smile, "Who are you chasing? Is she in the entertainment industry? Do I know her? Who wouldn't want to be chased by a big director like you?"

Li Qiutang lied, "Outside the circle. They have no interest in whether you are a director or not. You have to chase them like an ordinary person."

Jackie Chan is not very interested in women, but he also advises Li Qiutang to put some effort into pursuing girls and be nice to them.

After returning to the hotel, the group found a table in the hotel restaurant and discussed cooperation.

Li Qiutang also told Jackie Chan the story of In Time for the first time: "... there will be a lot of extreme action scenes in the movie, such as jumping out of a plane, jumping off a building. No one in China is more professional than your team in the Jackie Chan Stunt Team for these actions."

In fact, there is no need to discuss this kind of cooperation with Jackie Chan, as the Jackie Chan Stunt Team has someone in charge, but it just so happened that we were all in Hengdian, so we just talked about it.

After listening to the story of "In Time", Jackie Chan was amazed at Li Qiutang's imagination and praised the story repeatedly. He also said, "If there are such stories in the future, please ask me to act in them."

The cooperation talks went very smoothly. Action directing and co-production with Hong Kong are the main jobs of the Cheng family team. Why not take the job?

The bosses of both parties reached a verbal cooperation in Hengdian and agreed to send a special person to Yanjing to discuss details, remuneration, etc.

It's said without intention, but it sounds intentional.

Jackie Chan just said that if there is such a good script, remember to find him, and Li Qiutang listened to it!
The ending of "In Time" is naturally that the protagonist Yang Peng defeats the evil time banker, but what happens next?
Li Qiutang said through the mouth of the heroine Lan Xin that "no one is qualified to live forever", but in the main film, Yang Peng did not break the order of the old world. As long as the order that life span = money is not broken, the revolution of Yang Peng and others will not be considered successful.

"Brother, I suddenly have an idea. How about you make a post-credits Easter egg for me in In Time?"

"How to do it? Tell me." Young people have good brains, and now I have an idea.

"At the end of the story, everything is dark. You come on stage as the elderly Yang Peng. The life meter on your hand stops ticking, and there is a long scar, but you are not dead. You stand in front of the grave of your former comrade and reminisce about the past. This means that you have found a way to return humans to the normal cycle of birth, aging, illness and death. No one can live forever."

Jackie Chan liked this ending and immediately expressed his willingness to make a cameo appearance in the film: "Just tell me when you want to shoot, and I'll be there anytime."

It’s not difficult to invite Jackie Chan.

"It's still early. We can finish shooting this Easter egg sequence in one day. The special effects makeup may be more troublesome."

"It's okay, call me anytime when you're better." Jackie Chan was very polite.

After the two men finished discussing cooperation, they parted ways. Jackie Chan left Hengdian that night, but Li Qiutang had to stay here for a few more days.

He reported the news to the Yanjing crew, and his colleagues laughed at him: "You are really a thief who never leaves empty-handed. You negotiated cooperation with the Cheng family team and tricked Jackie Chan into making a cameo appearance. You really don't want to do business that loses money."

"That's right!" Li Qiutang was also very proud, "I will ask every stray dog that passes by to give a share to the crew."

"Hahahahaha!"
