Chapter 255 New "Lone Agent"
Chapter 255 New "Lone Agent"
"Director Li, President Wang is here!"
Park Xingwen stood behind Li Zhenfan and patted the young director who was concentrating on watching the playback on the monitor.
Of course, although he is a young director, Li Zhenfan is actually 37 years old now.
However, compared to most Korean directors, he was able to direct his first feature film two years ago and won the Best New Director Award at the 28th Blue Dragon Film Awards last year. He can indeed be described as a "young" and promising person.
After all, not everyone can be as lucky as Wang Hao, who has been shooting feature films continuously since graduation, and all of them have been hits, and he has continued to make it this far.
"Mr. Wang!"
Li Zhenfan also quickly stood up and greeted Wang Hao, who was a generation younger than him, enthusiastically.
With Park Xingwen acting as an interpreter, there was no communication barrier between the two.
Moreover, it was Wang Hao who made the final decision to appoint Li Zhenfan as the director of "The Man from Lone Ranger".
Although they had never met before, the movie "The Man from Nowhere" was itself the work of Li Zhenfan.
However, according to the original time and space, he should have filmed this movie in 2009, but now because of Wang Hao, it was moved forward a year.
Although the movie was released earlier, Li Zhenfan's talent remains unchanged.
After all, his first novel, "Hot-Blooded Man", was based on gangland violence, but it created a very contrasting family warm atmosphere.
Judging from this work, Li Zhenfan's ability to describe the delicate touch of men's rough emotions is quite commendable.
Moreover, he is no novice in shooting action scenes. The fighting scenes in "The Man from Lone Ranger" emphasize excitement, sharpness, simplicity and decisiveness, which is exactly Li Zhenfan's photography style.
In addition, Wang Hao had decided to shoot "Taken", so when CJ Entertainment asked him about the director, he mentioned Li Zhenfan's name.
When Li Zhenfan learned the news, he was also surprised. When he went to the headquarters of Star Pictures to get the script information, he also paid a special visit to Wang Hao and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.
"It's okay, just keep busy with your work, I just came to take a look."
After Wang Hao exchanged a few polite words with the other party, he didn't continue chatting with him.
Although he was the producer of the film, it was still in the shooting process at that time. There was an established shooting plan on the set. Wang Hao was also the director, so he certainly knew how troublesome it would be to disrupt the shooting plan.
So after saying hello to Director Li Zhenfan, the two of them stepped aside and continued to watch each other busy.
After finishing the filming of the previous scene, the other heroine of "The Man from Nowhere" also appeared soon.
Unlike the original version of "The Man from Nowhere", this version of "The Man from Nowhere" needed to be integrated into the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", so Wang Hao made certain changes to the outline that he originally handed over to the screenwriter department.
The original movie is actually a very clichéd story, which can be summed up in one sentence:
A peerless master who had retired from martial arts was hiding in a busy city, but because of a little girl he was inspired to kill and destroy a criminal gang.
This kind of plot has been overused in American personal heroism movies.
But the original director Li Zhenfan made people feel relieved through delicate emotional promotion and the solid and smooth action scenes in the later stage.
Therefore, the new version of "The Man from Nowhere" retains the original version's outstanding action scenes, as well as the interaction between the uncle and the little girl. Other than that, the plot has been greatly changed.
First is the role of the girl’s mother.
In the original story, the girl and her mother depended on each other for survival, but the mother was killed by the gang because of drug-related crimes, and the little girl was also kidnapped by the gang.
In the new version of the story, the role of the mother is replaced by a sister named Zhao Hailun, and her identity is also changed to a PhD in materials science working for a private enterprise.
Because of her research on bio-nanotechnology, the elder sister was hunted by a mysterious organization, which also implicated her younger sister, which led to the appearance of the extraordinary male protagonist.
As for the actress who just appeared on stage and played the role of sister Zhao Hailun, she was also chosen by Wang Hao. She is Kim Soo-hyun, who was born in 1985 and is now 22 years old.
This girl was originally a reporter. In 2005, she participated in the Korea-China Super Model Contest and became the champion. She was noticed by the crew of "Queen of Games" and played the heroine Park Zhuyuan in the play. She won the 2006 SBS Acting Awards Newcomer Award for this drama.
So even though she is a young actor, her performance on the scene did not go wrong.
Wang Hao spent an afternoon on the set of "The Man from Nowhere", fulfilling his duties as a producer.
And after finishing the filming, Wang Hao invited important members of the crew to have a meal outside.
It was during this time that the actress who played the little girl in the play had the opportunity to come up to Wang Hao and say hello to him.
"Uncle Wang!"
The little girl looked quirky and cute, but as soon as she opened her mouth, people disliked her.
"Why call me uncle?" Wang Hao glared at the little girl. "Call me brother!"
The little girl stuck out her tongue.
“Brother Wang!”
"Well, how is it, are you used to filming here, Zugoose?"
That’s right, the little girl who starred in “The Hitman” is none other than Song Zue, who played Nezha in “The Lotus Lantern”.
Because "The Man from Lonely Man" is a co-production between China and South Korea, there must be Chinese actors in the crew. In addition, the child star Kim Sae-ron who played the youngest daughter in the original "The Man from Lonely Man" has not yet officially debuted.
So Wang Hao and his team decided to find a Chinese child star to play the little girl. It just so happened that Shu Chang already had a role in the Galaxy Cinematic Universe. After hearing the news, she immediately recommended her cousin Song Zue to Galaxy Pictures.
After all, he was just a small actor and anyone could be used, so it was easy for Song Zue to join the crew.
"It's okay," Song Zu'e said without thinking when he heard Wang Hao's question, "Except that I can't understand what they say and the food here is not delicious, everything else is fine."
Wang Hao laughed when he heard this, "As an actor, you can't eat too well, or you'll get fat and not look photogenic."
Song Zu'e immediately pouted her already small mouth, snorted angrily, and ignored Wang Hao, focusing all her attention on the barbecue in front of her.
After dinner, Wang Hao returned to the hotel arranged for him by CJ Entertainment and rested for a night. The next day, he went to the headquarters of CJ Entertainment and met his old acquaintance Li Enxi.
