"Eh?"
Li Huawen was stunned. He turned to look at Fang Qiu and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Because of Master Yang Yizhi."
Fang Qiu said, "Some time ago, Director Chen said that he wanted to make a movie about Master Yang Yizhi. He was the first person I thought of. It seems to be true."
"Yes, it's Director Chen Xiaogang."
Li Huawen nodded and said, "Since you guessed that he wants to know you, you should also be able to guess why he wants to know you, right?"
"To make a movie."
Fang Qiu asked.
"How about it?"
Li Huawen smiled and asked, "Are you interested?"
"I'm a doctor."
Fang Qiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm not an actor, nor a star. I'm on the Spring Festival Gala and acting in a movie. It's a bit unprofessional!"
"Are you sure you're not a star?"
Li Huawen glanced at Fang Qiu and said speechlessly, "Let me tell you, you're more famous than a star now. Some people say that this year belongs to Fang Qiu, and I think so too! Look at how popular you are this year. If you weren't a doctor and didn't compete with stars for jobs, everyone would have joined forces to kill you! "
Hearing this, Fang Qiu smiled bitterly.
"From your performance on the show, you still respect Master Yang Yizhi very much. The reason why Director Chen Xiaogang chose you is also because of your respect for Master Yang Yizhi and your skills on the variety show."
As Li Huawen pulled Fang Qiu out, he asked again, "Don't you have any interest in acting?"
"Not interested."
Fang Qiu shook his head again.
His main profession was a doctor, and his hidden profession was a Wulin Guru. Why would he act in a movie?
As they spoke.
The two walked out of CCTV and got into Li Huawen's car.
Twenty minutes later.
Led by Li Huawen, Fang Qiu came to a tea room hidden in the corner. It looked very simple but extremely exquisite.
The two came to the box that had been reserved for a long time. As expected, they saw the famous director Chen Xiaogang and his exclusive screenwriter, Zhao Rulong!
"Welcome, welcome."
As soon as Fang Qiu and Li Huawen entered the door, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately got up to greet them and said, "Nice to meet you!"
Fang Qiu quickly returned the greeting.
"Please sit, please sit."
Zhao Rulong echoed and invited Fang Qiu and Li Huawen to sit down at the table.
There were a total of four people in the room, and they all sat down.
"I hear Fang Qiu's name at least three times a day. Today, I finally have the honor to meet him. He is indeed a talented young man!"
As soon as he sat down, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately praised Fang Qiu.
"Director Chen, you flatter me."
Fang Qiu said modestly.
"But it's not an exaggeration. Who in the country doesn't know Fang Qiu?"
Zhao Rulong laughed heartily and said, "Dragons and phoenixes among men cannot hide their brilliance!"
Fang Qiu smiled.
She felt embarrassed to be praised the moment they met.
At this moment.
Director Chen Xiaogang glanced at Li Huawen, who gently shook his head.
Seeing this.
Chen Xiaogang's heart sank when he received the signal.
He asked Director Li to sound out Fang Qiu's attitude towards the movie. Now it seemed that Fang Qiu was not very willing to act in the movie.
It seemed that he had to carry out the second trick.
Chen Xiaogang immediately heaved a big sigh. As he poured the wine for Fang Qiu, he said in a low and miserable voice, "Brother Fang Qiu, I really envy you. You have such a great reputation but you can still control yourself and know what you want."
"Brother, I'm burdened by this reputation now. I'm almost crushed to death. You see, I haven't worked for many years. Although I always want to make a good work for the public, it's hard to find a theme!"
"Brother Fang Qiu, to tell you the truth."
Director Chen Xiaogang frowned and sighed bitterly. He grabbed Fang Qiu's hand and said, "The reason why I invited you here today is because of the variety show you were on before."
His expression was sincere, but his voice was miserable.
This scene made Director Li Huawen dumbfounded.
When the name Chen Xiaogang was mentioned, any star in the entertainment industry would be shocked. If people saw Chen Xiaogang's current appearance, wouldn't they be shocked?
A big boss of the entertainment industry took the initiative to invite him here for dinner, and as soon as he sat down, he praised a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and then began to cry miserably.
What was he going to do?
Move him with tragedy and reason, and let him participate in the show?
Most importantly, why did he touch his hand?
Did he have any moral integrity?
As Director Chen's exclusive scriptwriter, Zhao Rulong naturally had nothing to say. At this time, he also quickly spoke.
He patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder, and like Chen Xiaogang, he sighed softly and said, "Brother Fang Qiu! You've really done a good thing for the people of the country by discovering Yang Yizhi's story! "
"We're going to make a movie about him and show it to the audience all over the country, so that they can feel and learn from Master Yang's spirit and story of a chivalrous man for the country and the people."
"If Director Chen is responsible for giving the audience a perfect picture, then I'm responsible for giving Director Chen a perfect picture. It's really difficult to write a story. I've followed Director Chen for so many years, and I've written all the stories that should be written. Now it's very difficult to find a theme, especially the kind of theme that is both popular with the audience and positive energy. It's even more difficult to find."
"Since we've come to this point, we won't hide it from you."
Director Chen Xiaogang looked at Fang Qiu and continued, "We watched the episode of Run Wild and Survive that you participated in. At first, we watched it because of you. But later, when we saw Swordsman Yang Yizhi who was full of national righteousness, Rulong and my eyes lit up. We both admired Swordsman Yang Yizhi from the bottom of our hearts. We could also clearly see that your admiration for Swordsman Yang Yizhi was also sincere."
Hearing this.
Fang Qiu knew what the two of them were doing by echoing each other.
He was not moved at the moment.
But when it came to Yang Yizhi, he still had some feelings.
"Indeed."
"Master Yang Yizhi is indeed very righteous. The heroes we've heard before are either in novels or TV series, but Master Yang Yizhi is different. He is flesh and blood, and he is very real. So when I saw Master Yang Yizhi's last words, I really felt that Master Yang Yizhi was worthy of respect, admiration, and a real hero worthy of being passed down through the ages!"
Especially as a guru and a doctor, he respected Yang Yizhi even more.
When Chen Xiaogang heard this, he felt that there was hope!
So after watching the show, I immediately went to the program group to talk about the copyright. I feel that I have a responsibility. I must do something for Master Yang Yizhi. So I decided to make a movie for Master Yang Yizhi so that his name as a chivalrous hero will be passed down for a long time. "Zhao Rulong and Zhao Rulong looked at each other and then hurriedly continued, saying," Yes, yes, we have the same idea as you. So after watching the show, I immediately went to the program group to talk about the copyright.
"Not only that."
Zhao Rulong, the scriptwriter, immediately continued, saying, "In my eyes, Master Yang Yizhi is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of our people. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also dares to stand up and protect the safety of the people. In the end, he calmly passed away. This is the real hero. This is the classic legend that our people pursue."
"That's true."
Fang Qiu nodded in agreement.
"You also agree, don't you?"
Director Chen Xiaogang said with a timely smile. Then, he pretended to be distressed and took a sip of wine, saying, "Such a good theme, I really want to make a good film, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to find a good actor."
"Come on, don't just talk. Drink up."
Zhao Rulong raised his glass and shouted.
The four of them raised their glasses at the same time and took a sip together.
"Brother, you may not know much about the entertainment circle, movies, and actors."
After drinking, Chen Xiaogang felt that he was in the right mood. He patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Whether a movie can shoot a perfect picture or not, the first factor is the actors. Only the most suitable actors can make all the audience immerse in the play to the greatest extent. Only when everyone is immersed in the play can they remember the essence of a play. Only when many, many audiences remember the essence of the play can it be called a classic, and the characters and spirit in the play can be passed down."
"I understand."
Fang Qiu nodded and said.
"You say, I can't shoot this movie without the right actor, right?"
Director Chen Xiaogang asked and said, "I can't find a random actor to play the role. If the performance is bad and the essence of Master Yang Yizhi is not shown, not only will it be a waste of the theme, but I'm afraid that Master Yang Yizhi's reputation will also be affected because of this!"
"Yes, in the matter of actors, you really need to think carefully and choose carefully."
Fang Qiu responded.
It was indeed a good thing to shoot a movie about Master Yang Yizhi, but if he found an unsuitable actor and the role was bad, it was better not to shoot it!
"Master Yang Yizhi is so righteous and so courageous. It would be a pity if he was ruined because the actor was not suitable."
Chen Xiaogang continued.
Obviously.
His purpose was to use Fang Qiu's admiration for Master Yang Yizhi to stimulate Fang Qiu's impulse to participate in the movie.
But unexpectedly.
No matter what he said, Fang Qiu always cooperated with his performance.
"I understand", "Yes", and then nodded.
"Since you agree so much, you should say something!"
In this situation.
Both Chen Xiaogang and Zhao Rulong were speechless.
On the side.
Li Huawen, who was eating alone and did not participate in the discussion at all, looked at the awkward atmosphere between the three people and laughed in his heart.
He knew that Fang Qiu was a little fox.
Although he looked harmless, he was very opinionated and was better than anyone else at pretending to be stupid.
But he did not speak. He was just a middleman. As long as he brought the two sides to the dinner table, his task was completed. As for the next thing, it was better for him not to get involved.
After waiting for a minute, seeing that Fang Qiu still did not speak.
He looked at Fang Qiu speechlessly.
Chen Xiaogang said in his heart, "Young people nowadays are not easy to cheat!"
He stopped talking nonsense and said directly and honestly, "Brother Fang Qiu, in fact, I invited you here this time to invite you to participate in the movie about Master Yang Yizhi that I have already started to prepare. Because you are very suitable for the role, I want to invite you to shoot a movie about Master Yang Yizhi when he was young. Do you think you can act in it?"
"This …"
Fang Qiu pondered.
Since he had been asked, he could only express his opinion.
He was not willing to act in the movie.
However, after what Director Chen Xiaogang said just now, he was a little hesitant in his heart. He could feel Director Chen's sincerity and he also knew that Director Chen Xiaogang said those words to provoke him. But those words were also true.
In his heart, Fang Qiu respected Master Yang Yizhi very much, so he did not want an unsuitable actor to ruin Master Yang Yizhi's reputation.
So he was considering whether to act or not.
He was confident that he could play the essence of Master Yang.
It was not that his acting skills were good.
But he was a guru, a person who had the desire to help the world. He just needed to act as himself.
Should he act or not?
Perhaps he did not dare to interrupt Fang Qiu's thinking, or perhaps he saw the struggle in Fang Qiu's heart. Surprisingly, Director Chen Xiaogang did not disturb and urge Fang Qiu at this time. He knew that Fang Qiu needed some time to think about it.
Three minutes.
He thought for a full three minutes.
