Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 335 Looks alike
Wan Da's "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was officially named "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Lost Tomb" because "Ghost Blows Out the Light" alone would not pass the review.

"Mojin: The Lost Tomb" plays an important role in the original novel. The title of the film points out "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", which can be regarded as an explanation to the fans of the novel.

Because Li Qiutang is still filming "The Invisible Guest", Wan Da has not announced the director for this time, only saying: "The script is still being written, and we are also contacting directors one after another. We will definitely choose the most suitable director for the audience."

The next day, a draft of the script co-written by Zhang Jialu and Ba Chang was killed by Li Qiutang in Huairou.

Ba Chang is nominally a script consultant, but in fact he is also one of the screenwriters.

But as a professional screenwriter, Zhang Jialu may not have listened too much to Bachang's advisory opinions and wrote according to his own ideas.

In the draft of the script that was rejected, only the entry point at the beginning was usable.

Zhang Jialu starts from the book "The Yellow Skin Tomb". From New York to the grassland, the three tomb raiders, plus the agent Da Jin Ya and Hu Bayi's first love Ding Sitian all appear.

Then Zhang Jialu’s story collapsed.

Ba Chang is not good at writing romance scenes, but "The Yellow Skin Tomb" happens to have the most romance scenes. Zhang Jialu exaggerated the revolutionary friendship between Hu Bayi and Ding Sitian, as well as his current emotional entanglement with Shirley Yang.

"This is an adventure action film. Love is just a condiment. Don't write so much about it."

In terms of genre classification, Li Qiutang and Ba Chang agreed that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is not supernatural, horror, or fantasy, but an adventure.

If it is an adventure film, it should retain the elements of an adventure film.

After rejecting the script, Li Qiutang spent another week writing a 10,000-word article analyzing classic adventure movies and sent it to Zhang Jialu and Ba Chang.

In the paper, Li Qiutang took classic adventure films such as the "Indiana Jones" series, "Tomb Raider" series, "National Treasure" series, "The Mummy" series, etc. as examples to find their common rules, what basic rules these films have as adventure films, what are the genre characteristics, how the character relationships are set, and what elements are impossible to avoid.

Li Qiutang asked Zhang Jialu to figure these things out and create based on the basic rules of these adventure films.

You can't just write whatever comes to mind.

At the same time, Li Qiutang discussed with producer Chen Guofu and screenwriter Zhang Jialu, and asked Chen Guofu to find out whether it is possible to film the film about radioactive mutants.

In the original novel of "The Yellow Skin Tomb", a Japanese biological and chemical base appeared, and Li Qiutang wanted to film radiation mutation.

Radiation mutation is better than hallucinations. Li Qiutang really doesn't want to fool the audience with things like hallucinations and mental disorders.

But he really didn't know whether the General Administration would allow the filming, so he asked Chen Guofu to confirm it on his behalf.

Wan Da and Zhang Jialu would rather take it easy and just write an illusion, but Li Qiutang would deliberately test the boundaries of censorship for better filming effects.

This is a risk. What if they say we can shoot when the project is launched, but say we can’t shoot when the film is released? Then Wan Da Productions will die in its cradle before it even gets started.

But this is the price of inviting a great director to take charge of a project. Great directors are not so obedient. Director Li Qiutang has brought unprecedented attention to Wan Da. Wan Da believes in Li Qiutang's ability, so he has to take this risk together. If you don't want to take this risk, you can invite someone else. Why invite Li Qiutang?
Li Qiutang did not just talk and reject other people's scripts on the project of "Mojin: The Lost Legend". He also spent almost all of his free time on "Mojin: The Lost Legend" after filming.

He is now reading the original novel of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" for the third time; he found a course on the I Ching and Eight Trigrams on the Internet and watches it every day; he also consulted some archaeological and folk experts to learn about ancient tombs.

We also plan to visit some ancient tombs and museums.

This kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious, and it's quite interesting to learn.

After 5 days of trial shooting and 2 days of rest, "The Invisible Guest" finally started shooting.

…………

No one could have imagined that Zhao Yanzi's "So Young" could stand up to "Iron Man 3".
The champion of the May Day period is still "Iron Man 3", with revenue of 3.9 million yuan, but "Youth" managed to take 3.3 million yuan at the box office.

If "Those Years" and Qiu's "Introduction to Architecture" enlightened mainland youth films, then Zhao Yanzi's "So Young" pushed domestic youth films to their first climax. Liu Yifei's "Introduction to Architecture" only grossed 3 million yuan, but Zhao Yanzi's "So Young" grossed 3 million yuan in just one week!
This shows that youth films have great potential!!!
Liu Yifei took her assistant to see a movie after the May Day holiday when there were few people around, and first watched "Iron Man 3".

She herself is no longer interested in teen films.

After watching the movie, it was still early, so the two of them went shopping in the mall.

Liu Yifei didn't wear a mask today, only a hat and sunglasses.

The assistant even joked with her: "You wear sunglasses in the mall because you are afraid that others won't recognize you."

"I can't help it. I've had acne these past few days and wearing a mask is suffocating."

"You deserve it. Who told you to eat four hotpot meals in three days?" The assistant scolded her with a smile.

The two walked slowly and looked around slowly.

But he was eventually recognized by passers-by.

"Is it her?"

"Go and see."

Liu Yifei and her assistant turned around, with the assistant in front. A passerby girl saw her face and asked softly, "Can we take a photo together?"

The assistant shook his head. It was indeed not convenient at this time and place. He said, "They look alike."

I haven't told you who you are yet! You are trying to cover up your guilt!

Liu Yifei glanced at the two passers-by fans, nodded in greeting, took a few quick steps, and slipped into a corner, but then waved to the two passers-by fans, motioning them to come over.

The two fans trotted over excitedly.

"Do you want to take a photo?" Liu Yifei asked softly.

“Yes, yes, yes.” The girl was very excited. “You are ten thousand times more beautiful in person than on TV.” Then she took out her cell phone.

After taking the photo, Liu Yifei did not forget to remind fans: "Photoshop it for me too, I have had acne these days."

Fans just think that this kind of fairy sister is more adorable.

The two fans were very friendly. They didn't pester Liu Yifei. They just asked for a photo, thanked her and left.

Then, it became a trending topic.

#Liu Yifei and her assistant were spotted shopping#
The video only captured Liu Yifei's assistant refusing the two people's request for a photo, but the two fans involved stated in text that Liu Yifei walked to an empty corner and waved to the two to take a photo.

"After taking the photo, she even said that she had acne these days and asked me to photoshop it for her. This fairy sister is so cute."

But this time, netizens’ comments were not about Liu Yifei, but about her funny assistant: “The assistant is also funny, and people haven’t even asked who it is!”

"The assistant's rejection is so funny. It looks very similar. Hahahahaha!"

"You still have time to go shopping? You haven't been on set for 15 months!" This career fan was very anxious, as it has indeed been a long time since the filming of "Pacific Rim" was wrapped up.

The release date of Pacific Rim has not been set, and the pre-promotion has not started yet, so it is normal for fans to be anxious. But Liu Yifei doesn't care about that.
