Chapter 261 Come over and Watch the Skit? (44)

Jackie Chan actually has many good ideas.

In the early years, "Plan A", "Police Story", and "Who Am I", as well as the later "Baby Project", "Little Soldiers", and "Zodiac" were all his creations...

He likes "Glory of the Tang Dynasty". In addition to being shocked by the story, part of the reason is because the two protagonists make him feel that it coincides with his own "Big Soldiers and Young Generals"...

He wanted to meet Shen Xudong and discuss the script in detail. Chen Musheng called Shen Xudong. Of course Shen Xudong was very happy, but... he couldn't leave.

"We have a competition the day after tomorrow. I am the director and I have two rehearsals tomorrow. I can't leave..."

"Then...I'll ask my eldest brother if we can make another appointment another day!"

"oh…"

…

The filming of "Shocking Legend", that is, "Myth" will continue until the end of November.

This play is said to have originated from a dream of Tang Jili. Tang Jili was traveling in Xi'an and saw the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. When he went to bed at night, he dreamed that he had become a general of the Qin Dynasty and was leading his troops in battle.

Then he was suddenly inspired, and by studying "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang", he initially sketched out "The Shocking Legend", a story about love and patriotism.

Later, after polishing by two well-known screenwriters, Wang Huiling and Li Haishu, the script was released...

However, Tang Jili’s original ideal candidate was Jin Chengwu!

But Jackie Chan has always wanted to seek breakthroughs and transformation, so when he heard that Tang Jili was going to make a love story, he became interested.

After reading the script, I liked it very much.

General Meng Yi in the script is a brave and capable general of the Qin State, which is different from Jackie Chan's previous image.

For Jackie Chan, not only was his image subverted, but it was also his first time trying costumes.

In addition, some of the patriotism in the script was something Jackie Chan always wanted to express and spread through his own influence, so Jackie Chan took the initiative to ask for the role.

When Tang Jili heard this, his eldest brother had already spoken, so he had to respond!

So Jackie Chan's version of General Meng Yi was launched - in fact, if it was starring Jackie Chan, the investors would be willing to pay 160 million for the production cost. If it was Takeshi Kaneshiro, it would be halved...

Let’s talk about the relationship between Tang Jili and Jackie Chan...

In fact, it was Mr. He Guanchang who invited Tang Jili. Tang Jili's first work "The Dragon" was favored by Jiahe's boss Mr. He Guanchang, so he invited Tang Jili to direct Jackie Chan's "Police Story 3 - Super Cop"...

Then, a career of cooperation began.

During this period, he collaborated with "Super Project", "Red Zone", "Police Story 4 - Simple Mission", "Myth", "Zodiac", "Kung Fu Yoga"...

By the way, there's also "Vanguard"...

Bringing it back, there is actually someone on the "Myth" crew who has a good relationship with Shen Xudong - Liang Jiahui!

Liang Jiahui was specifically willing to come and join in the scene. Jackie Chan told him that it was all literary drama, so he agreed. But after arriving at the scene, there were still action scenes...

Let him jump out of a helicopter...

Helicopter rental is very expensive, NT$500,000 a day. Jackie Chan urged him all the time. Tony Leung gritted his teeth and jumped out. After filming this part, he started scolding me, "You think I'm your family class!" ’

But they have a good relationship...

"Thousand Chances 2" specially ran over to take care of his son...

On this day, Liang Jiahui saw Jackie Chan hanging up the phone a little disappointed, so he asked him what was going on.

"I saw a script and wanted to chat with the screenwriter, but he was unavailable..."

Liang Jiahui was surprised: "Which screenwriter dares not to give face to my eldest brother?"

"He said he wanted to participate in the school competition...oh, it's Shen Xudong!"

"Xudong?"

"You know him too?"

Liang Jiahui nodded: "Of course, I just finished filming "Witness" and I will soon join the cast of a movie called "Manslaughter". Both works were written by him!"

"Oh? Are you familiar with him?"

"It's okay. We've met a few times..." Having said this, Liang Jiahui took out his mobile phone: "Let me ask!"

Jackie Chan smiled and said: "Great, you have his contact information!"

…

It’s useless to have contact information, Shen Xudong really can’t leave!

After receiving a call from Liang Jiahui, Shen Xudong was speechless. Is he so anxious?

Can’t wait two days?

It's not an urgent matter...

He got up from the bed and patiently explained what the sketch contest meant to him...

"Our teacher attaches great importance to this competition. The most important thing is that I promised the teacher last year. I have to be trustworthy!"

"Is this drama...sketch contest important?"

"Well, it's very important. It's a competition held once a year by China National Theater..."

Liang Jiahui nodded: "Brother has such a temper...Impatient...Let me tell him!"

Really impatient...

Otherwise, no one would be killed. You see, Shen Xudong is fine.

"Well, thank you Uncle Liang..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong picked up the water glass and took a sip. It would take some time to continue the interrupted art discussion...

Yan Danchen, who was lying on the bed, asked him: "Who is it?"

"Teacher Liang Jiahui..."

Yan Danchen was surprised and sat up directly: "Liang Jiahui...is that Liang Jiahui?"

"...Yes, he has something to do with me..."

"How come you still have contact with him?"

Shen Xudong explained: "I wrote a book for Mr. Chen Daoming before, it was a two-hero theme, and I asked Liang Jiahui..."

"…You are so awesome."

Oh, Yan Danchen won the role of Xu Zhiqing in "The Great Butler". Let's talk to him about old times and discuss the true meaning of art...

Shen Xudong readily agreed!

It just so happened that he had been studying the works of Tindo Barras recently, but he lacked a contact partner—Senior Chen Hao joined the cast of "Beauty's Scheming"...

Yan Danchen originally wanted to play Xiao Yuruo, the female lead.

But this role has been given to Li Xiaoran, and Shen Xudong suggested that she focus on Xu Zhiqing...

Oh, the script only has six lines, corresponding to six actresses - after all, there are only 40 episodes, too many to wrap up.

Pulling back, Yan Danchen sat on his lap and asked, "Why is Liang Jiahui looking for you?"

"...Please tell me a favor," Shen Xudong said concisely and concisely: "Brother Jackie Chan wants to talk to me, but I have to participate in the Chinese drama sketch competition the day after tomorrow, and I don't have time to go there..."

"...Brother Jackie Chan..."

Yan Danchen no longer knew what to say...

If she didn't know a little about Shen Xudong, she would really think that Shen Xudong was bragging!

It's Tony Leung again, and it's Jackie Chan's...

After hanging up after five minutes, Liang Jiahui felt a little dizzy - Liang Jiahui asked the time, and then said that Jackie Chan and he would come to China Theater to watch the sketch of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" the day after tomorrow...
