Chapter 411: To film a feeling different from Huang Feihong
Needless to say, Shen Lang was moved.

This was the first time that Lao Lu took the initiative to suggest that he play the leading role in a movie.

Shen Lang's heart was moved, but the next second he said: "Donkey, it seems like you haven't held your fart well?"

Lao Lu looked aggrieved after being insulted: "How can you say that? You are famous for playing villains. It is my good intention to play a positive character to change your taste occasionally!"

Regardless of whether it was Donkey's kindness or not, he had to take part in the filming of "Fang Shiyu".

Seeing that Shen Lang finally agreed to join his crew, Li Lianjie was overjoyed and said bluntly that he would invite everyone to get together at noon.

If I follow people who are having dinner with the same crew as me, wouldn't that be an eyesore?

After Jack Cheng politely declined, he left with some disappointment.

During lunch, Yuan Kui finally arrived, and Shen Lang saw the second of the "Seven Little Fortunes" of this era for the first time.

Compared to the other members of the Seven Little Fortunes, Yuan Kui may be the most unknown.

Just like in another time and space, this era also has the Seven Little Fortunes.

Sammo Hung is the eldest of the Seven Little Fortunes, Jacky Cheung is the fourth, and other more famous ones include Yuen Wah and Yuen Biao.

In fact, the name "Seven Little Fortunes" comes from a Peking opera. There is also an opera troupe named "Seven Little Fortunes", and it is also the general name for Yu Zhanyuan's most proud students.

Many people think that the “Seven Little Fortunes” refers to Jacky Cheung and others, but there are more than that.

It turned out that Yu Zhanyuan selected seven people including Jacky Cheung to be the leading roles of "Seven Little Fortunes" in a Peking Opera performance. The performance was very successful, so Yu Zhanyuan formed a "Seven Little Fortunes" troupe, which became famous and has been passed down to this day.

Yuan Kui was very polite when he saw Shen Lang and kept explaining the flight delay.

He was a senior, so Shen Lang naturally couldn't act superior. After everyone was polite to each other, they finally sat down.

Eating and other things are actually a process of communication.

During the dinner, Hong Jinbao finally explained why he took the initiative to step down and asked Yuan Kui and others to invite Shen Lang to be the action director of this play.

It turns out that since Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung series became a huge success, Jet Li's image of Wong Fei Hung has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making him the most famous Kung Fu Emperor among the Chinese and even the world.

Not long ago, Li Lianjie parted ways with the film company he had signed with due to contract issues, and his agent was shot dead. The reason was that a powerful force wanted to find Li Lianjie to film a movie, but was rejected by Li Lianjie's agent halfway, so the other party directly killed Li Lianjie's agent.

This incident had a very bad impact, making the Kung Fu Emperor feel that his life was in danger and that there were dangers everywhere.

Later, after the mediation of "Hua Guoxing" and the Xiang brothers, the danger was eliminated.

This is why Shen Lang saw Li Lianjie at Xiang Huasheng’s house last time. At that time, his situation was actually very difficult.

After the Xiang brothers helped to deal with the underworld affairs, Li Lianjie felt that it was meaningless to work for others. Moreover, the third film in the Wong Fei Hung series, "The Lion King", had become an insurmountable peak. If he continued filming, it would feel like adding a tail to a dog.

Therefore, he resolutely announced that he would use the money he earned over the years to establish Zhengdong Film and Television Company, become an investor, and shoot films of other themes.

"But I also know that I was born in the Kung Fu film industry, and everyone likes to watch me fighting and killing on the screen. I can't act in those art films or romance films, so in the end, I chose Fang Shiyu, one of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, as the prototype protagonist of the story..."

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Li Lianjie recounted his mental journey while filming "Fong Sai-yuk".

Hong Jinbao explained: "When Mr. Li was filming Huang Feihong, the action director was Yuan Bin, one of our Seven Little Fortunes!"

"We are brothers, although each of us has a different style of action director, but we are all taught by the same master!" "Since Mr. Li wants to make a kung fu film different from Huang Feihong, then I think changing the style may be a solution!"

Li Lianjie bowed his hands in gratitude and said, "I still want to thank you for thinking of me like this!"

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "We also decided to invite Teacher Shen after watching "The Blade of the Assassin". But I'm afraid you know that we thought you were just a figurehead as a martial arts instructor!"

"But Lian Jie said that Teacher Shen might have real kung fu!"

Shen Lang suddenly realized why people wanted to attend the opening ceremony after hearing this.
In fact, it is just to touch your own body.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "It seems that everyone has recognized my performance just now?"

Hong Jinbao said: "Of course, in fact, when we saw the Tang gloves routine you performed, we knew that you must be a martial artist!"

After saying that, Hong Jinbao sighed to Yuan Kui: "Tang Shou is indeed the source of our Chinese martial arts. As the saying goes, if you master one method, you can master all methods. Even if Mr. Shen doesn't know other martial arts routines, with Tang Shou, he is qualified to be the martial arts instructor of the crew!"

Yuan Kui naturally trusted the judgment of his elder brother.

What they didn't know was that they thought Shen Lang only knew Tang Shou, but in fact, Shen Lang knew all kinds of moves, no matter whether the Seven Little Fortunes knew them or not, and he was very familiar with them.

Since everyone had talked it out and Shen Lang had agreed to act in the film, Li Lianjie couldn't wait to ask the question that concerned him the most: "Teacher Shen, I want to film this movie "Fang Shiyu". Do you have any way to make the audience not think of Huang Feihong after watching it?"

This was the first test for investors, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lang.

To be honest, Shen Lang had never thought about this issue before.

But he was not in a hurry to answer the question. Instead, he went over the "Once Upon a Time in China" series of movies in his mind.

In Shen Lang's impression, Huang Feihong is a national hero who puts national justice first.

Since he is a national hero, his image naturally cannot be too frivolous, so when he treats bad guys, he is righteous; when he treats Thirteenth Aunt, he is shy and restrained.

This setting is very consistent with the character's characteristics, but it also limits the character's development.

So is it possible to change this?

Shen Lang looked at Li Lianjie. He was not tall and had a baby face. When he smiled, his eyes curved like crescents, making him look very friendly.

No, affinity is not enough to express this feeling.

Shen Lang secretly searched for the right words in his mind!
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind: "I remember now, it should be... a boyish feeling!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood what changes Li Lianjie wanted to make.

Some people may ask, hasn’t Shen Lang read "Fang Shiyu" in another time and space?
Seen.

But put yourself in their shoes, who would watch a movie for nothing and compare the differences between the protagonists in the "Fong Sai-yuk" and "Huang Feihong" series?

But Shen Lang figured out what kind of character Huang Feihong was and what kind of characteristics Li Lianjie possessed.

He finally understood what to do to avoid the same homogeneity between "Fong Sai-yuk" and "Huang Feihong"?
