"Lianjie, you have good taste!" Zhang Yimou was speechless." I thought Ye Chen was too young to be competent. It seems that I was worrying too much."”
" Yes…" Li Lianjie was dumbfounded. They had agreed to go through the back door. He had already planned to have a PK with Director Zhang. He had to help Ye Chen.
Then, Ye Chen won with his own strength!
"That…Ye Chen, come!" This was the first time Zhang Yimou had spoken so nicely to a newbie actor." Come here, I'll tell you about the scene."”
Ye Chen walked over. Li Lianjie hurried over and whispered,"Sure!"?You're quite hardworking for me! He probably wants to talk to you about the pay. This matter is settled!”
After all, Ye Chen was a newbie and did not have many scenes to play the role of King Qin. However, Zhang Yimou still paid him two million yuan, saying that Ye Chen's performance was worth the price.
Li Lianjie was excited and immediately told Ye Chen," This price is already the price of an A-rank signed artist. The most important thing is that this movie will be released soon. There aren't many scenes left. After filming, we'll enter post-production. It should be released at the beginning of next month. Once the movie is released and the box office earnings are out, I'll let you contact President Fan!”
"Understood. Thank you, Brother Jie!" Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
"I didn't even put in much effort. It's you who worked hard.”Li Lianjie laughed." Let's go. Director Zhang still wants to talk to you about the specific arrangements for the role. For the role of King Qin, all of the scenes are done with me. There aren't many movements and it's all based on the details. You're a graduate of the Film Academy after all, and you've also studied properly. From what I saw just now, there shouldn't be any problems. It's just that when there are some major changes, you need to pay attention to the changes in your emotions..."
Li Lianjie kept talking while Ye Chen nodded and listened.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had watched Hero many times in his previous life, especially the role of King Qin. He had watched it again and again. Even if Director Zhang did not talk to him about anything, he could still portray the role of King Qin well.
"Little Ye, come, let me tell you. Other than what you just performed, which was the first scene of Qin Wang, I was very satisfied with your performance. When the time comes for filming, you should just maintain this.”
As Director Zhang Yimou spoke, he asked the staff beside him to bring the script for the character of King Qin to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen quickly browsed through it and felt that something was wrong. He scrolled down and there was nothing else." Is that all?”
"Hmm? What?" Director Zhang asked.
"Did I say that it ends here? Is there no more script?" Ye Chen asked.
"The lie that the assassin I played fabricated was seen through by the king of Qin. The king of Qin ordered people to kill me and bury me. The story naturally ends here.”Li Lianjie explained.
"No, it doesn't make sense!" Ye Chen shook his head." You went through so much trouble to get to the main hall. You didn't ask for a reward and came ten steps away. Could it be that you're seeking defeat? What the King of Qin did was even more unbelievable. Why did he want to bury the assassin?”
"This…I can explain." The scriptwriter Wang Bing put down his pen and said," If the assassin doesn't die, he can't become a national hero. The King of Qin admired the assassin's patriotic spirit and was shocked by his superb martial arts. Therefore, he ordered a grand burial for the assassin.”
"Scriptwriter?" Ye Chen asked.
Wang Bing nodded.
" There's no logical explanation. I think that if this scene is played like this, it will become the biggest failure of the entire movie. Even if this movie gathers famous directors, famous actors, and uses all kinds of magnificent post-production, it's useless. It's destined to be a movie that's forcefully pieced together. In the end, it will become ordinary.”
Ye Chen said expressionlessly.
He couldn't believe that the definition of a hero was so shallow.
" You..." Wang Bing was so angry that his face turned red. He had been in the film and television industry for more than ten years. Which director didn't treat him as a VIP?
If Director Zhang had said that to him today, it would have been fine. But now, a newcomer who hadn't even finished filming had said that to him. How could he swallow his anger?
"Don't worry, Wang Bing. Listen to what Ye Chen has to say.”Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, was much calmer. He also felt that there was something lacking in his heart. He did not feel as carefree as when he was filming a movie in the past.
Art was all about intuition.
His intuition told him that up until now, the entire movie had been tied here and there. It was always a dead knot that could not be untied. Perhaps Ye Chen's appearance was the key to untying all the knots.
His original plan was to try for an Oscar.
However, the Oscar judges did not know much about Chinese art. He spent a lot of time and energy on the costumes and the post-production of the colors. It did not matter if the whole story was logical or not. As long as it was passable, it was fine.
No matter what, they could at least get a nomination for the next season's Academy Awards.
"The assassin wouldn't kill the King of Qin, because he had already felt relieved the moment he saw the King of Qin. The King of Qin wanted to unify the six states and end the war. This was a great love. A person's hatred, a country's hatred, in the face of great love, they should yield. This was a true hero.”Ye Chen explained.
Zhang Yimou narrowed his eyes, and his heart raced." Then, if I don't assassinate him, what will my movie be about? Wasn't this a joke? If he didn't assassinate them, how could he face those who died because of him?”
"So, he wanted to kill, but he only feigned a spear and left.”Ye Chen explained.
"What? Just like that?" Wang Bing was speechless." I admit that my logical thinking was a little problematic, but your ending is more problematic than mine. And then he swaggered away? Should he bring along those gold, silver, and jewelry?”
"No, he couldn't take any of them away because the king of Qin killed him.”Ye Chen looked at Wang Bing and smiled.
" What?!" Wang Bing's eyes widened. "He didn't kill the King of Qin. Why did the King of Qin kill him?”
"He didn't kill the king of Qin because he loved him. The king of Qin killed him because of the law. Therefore, after killing someone, the assassin would be buried.”Ye Chen finished speaking and waited for their response.
Zhang Yimou covered his eyes with his hand. After a moment, he pointed at Ye Chen and said excitedly," Yes, yes, yes. This logic makes sense. Heroes have another meaning." Just act like this, Jordan, just perform like this!”
He looked at Wang Bing, who had his mouth open and didn't know what to say.
What a powerful adaptation! He…seemed to be fired!
