Chapter 193 “Guide” and “The King of Kung Fu”【12】

It is said that since the broadcast of "Longing for the End of the World" planned by Gao Fei, Yu Qian and others, Xiongan Racecourse has become completely famous in China.

With the income from "Longing for the End of the World", Gao Fei and others finally no longer have to worry about the operating expenses of the racecourse.

So after some discussions, several shareholders of the racecourse decided to adopt a membership invitation system.

In this way, it can be regarded as preventing some paparazzi and entertainment reporters from sneaking in to the greatest extent.

From now on, Gao Fei and others don't have to worry too much when relaxing at the racecourse. After all, they originally set up this racecourse to relax.

But when the news spread, it was because it was rare to have such a safe outdoor leisure place, and it was not too far from the capital.

Therefore, it didn't take long for some celebrities in the industry to come over in twos and threes to relax.

When Li Lianjie came to Xiongan Racecourse again, he was immediately surprised.

"Not bad, boy, I didn't expect you to have two brushes!"

The rest room deep in the racecourse.

I saw Li Lianjie looking at Gao Fei opposite with emotion, and couldn't help but nod in praise.

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't take it seriously at all.

Because he knew in his heart that he simply had a geographical advantage.

However, after chatting with Li Lianjie for a while, Gao Fei realized that he was not here for vacation this time.

"Do you still have a schedule next year?"

"Yes, what, you want to introduce me to a job?"

Gao Fei didn't pay attention when he heard this, and immediately smiled casually.

Unexpectedly, Li Lianjie nodded seriously when he heard this.

Seeing this, Gao Fei's eyes widened in surprise.

But before he could ask, Li Lianjie handed him a notebook and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:

"Here! This is it, take a look first!"

Seeing his strange behavior, Gao Fei couldn't help but become more and more curious, so he took the script and read it carefully.

But after just a moment, he couldn't help but frown.

…

The movie script in Gao Fei's hands is actually very simple.

Its main content is about Jason, an American teenager who is crazy about Hong Kong and Taiwan Kung Fu movies. By chance, he gets a Ruyi Golden Cudgel from an antique shop in Chinatown.

Later, with the power of the Golden Cudgel, he returned to China thousands of years ago.

By chance, he met Kung Fu masters Lu Yan, Jin Yanzi and Monk. In the end, the four of them defeated the Jade God of War and other evil forces, and successfully rescued the Monkey King and the Monkey King.

Because the story was very cliché and the characters were not very complex, Gao Fei read the entire script very quickly.

But after reading it, Gao Fei felt a little weird no matter what he thought about it, so he couldn't help but look at Li Lianjie with some doubts.

Seeing his reaction, Li Lianjie seemed to have expected it, and immediately said helplessly:

"This is a script written by director Rob Minkoff himself."

At this point, Li Lianjie was afraid that Gao Fei was not familiar with Robert Minkoff, so he added another sentence:

"The one who made "The Lion King"!"

"oh!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei suddenly understood.

He said it smelled weird, so that was the problem.

But then he couldn't help but shook his head speechlessly.

This director is really lazy. Isn't he just putting the template of Simba from The Lion King into the skin of Monkey King?

It's just that one gradually grew up to be the Lion King, and the other successfully saved Sun Wukong through hardships and dangers.

But Gao Fei still couldn't figure it out.

So after hesitating for a moment, Gao Fei couldn't help but look at Li Lianjie and said:

"Uncle Jie, this script is very average. How could you accept such a role?"

After hearing this, Li Lianjie shook his head helplessly and said:

"A Fei, you don't understand, this is how things are done in Hollywood."

Although compared to the mainland, Hollywood respects screenwriters more, but that's really the case.

When encountering a good script that can be seen at a glance, major production companies will naturally rush to get it, but this happens rarely.

Sometimes only a few good books like this are published in a year.

Most of the time, Hollywood's major film and television companies are playing jigsaw puzzles like playing cards.

A successful director who has proven himself;

A reasonably good script;

several actors with box-office success;

Plus a nice gimmick.

When these few cards are put together, it will be enough for those studios to invest money.

That’s why Hollywood makes a lot of bad movies every year.

It's just that the film industry system is relatively complete, so the lower limit for bad movies is not so low.

But even so, the birth of "The King of Kung Fu" in the hands of Gao Fei was also very difficult.

Although the animated film "The Lion King" directed by Rob Minkoff in 1994 was a global hit, the final box office exceeded $750 million.

But that's just an animated movie after all.

Therefore, after Rob Minkoff came up with his "Double J Project", for several years, no production company had a reason to invest money.

In the end, it was Robert Minkoff who approached Jet Li first and persuaded him to participate in the film in the form of salary investment, before Lionsgate agreed to invest.

But even so, there is still a gap in the investment in "The King of Kung Fu".

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately understood.

Immediately he couldn't help but asked tentatively:

"Uncle Jie, you mean...as long as I invest money, I can act?"

Seeing what he said, Li Lianjie immediately nodded calmly.

He is not trying to trick Gao Fei. On the contrary, in his opinion, he is helping Gao Fei.

Because this kind of opportunity is really rare.

If it weren't for the relationship between him and Gao Fei, as long as he spreads the news, there would be many people in the entertainment industry trying to get on board.

Of course, just having money is not enough, at least when it comes to acting, looks and popularity, you can’t be too arrogant.

Otherwise, in the end, if the movie fails, they will be the ones who suffer.

It's just that Gao Fei thought about the book and was still a little hesitant.

So after pondering for a moment, he immediately said directly:

"Uncle Jie, this is not a trivial matter. Can you let me go back and think about it carefully?"

Seeing what he said, Li Lianjie didn't pay attention, and immediately waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, just let me know when you think about it."

Then the two stopped talking about the matter and actually went to the racecourse for a walk.

You must know that the big black horse "White Lion" bought by Li Lianjie is still being raised at the Xiongan Racecourse.

Gao Fei never understood why Jet Li liked this mediocre black horse so much, and even chose the name of a white lion.

So this time when Li Lianjie lost to Gao Fei again in horse racing, he couldn't help but asked curiously.

After hearing this, Li Lianjie did not show off.

I saw him affectionately stroking the sweaty hair of the big black horse and saying rather sadly:

"I don't know why, but the first time I saw it at the racecourse, I felt that it was destined for me!"

"Perhaps, it's because of Buddha's fate!"
