Inside and Outside World

The most representative of the Age of Enlightenment is culture, thought, and philosophy, and Voltaire is the most outstanding figure; the most representative of the Steam Age is industry, and the invention of the steam engine led to the Industrial Revolution, and the figure is Watt; and the Electric Age, when it comes to electricity The most impressive is undoubtedly Nikola Tesla, the man who was able to hold a ball lightning, but passed away 7 years ago.

Otherwise, Yan Luo can go to this thunder and lightning master for advice on how to manipulate thunder, so as to cultivate the state of "shocking thunder" in Bagua Qiankun Kung Fu.

"Act in a movie? I agreed, but I haven't been in the United States for long, and I have to write the script myself."

Yan Luo knows many popular movies in later generations, such as Titanic, Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter... It's just that now in 1951, there are only the most crude film technology, and the first Godzilla movie with special effects in the true sense is in It appeared in 1955, and the first part of Star Wars was in 1977. Unless he used spells such as the power of words, earth, fire, water, and wind, he would not be able to make special effects films at all.

In this era, most of the well-known films are romance films. Paramount Pictures once filmed the historical blockbuster Cleopatra in 1934, but the props and sets were very simple. The future 1963 Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra cost $44 million!

The 40 million US dollars in 1963 almost bankrupted the Fox company that made the film, and had to sell land to make a living.

What Yan Luo needs is the investment of "Cleopatra", recreating the background of the Enlightenment, steam and electric ages to gain historical insight-this era has no digital special effects, if you want to shoot a blockbuster, the film company will definitely build three The environment corresponding to this era, just like Cleopatra almost really built a Roman city.

"What, write the script yourself?"

Vivien Leigh frowned. This was really a rude request, but after thinking about it, she reluctantly said, "Wait for me."

She drove away quickly and looked for a phone booth to make a call. Yan Luo sat here after a good meal. The owner of this roadside restaurant was a black old man. There are more than one TV set, most of which are black and white, but the TV set here is actually in color, and the cartoon "Tom and Jerry" is playing.

This MGM animation has been broadcast in the United States for 11 years and is extremely popular.

After driving for more than half an hour, Vivien Leigh finally found a phone booth by the side of the road and dialed to the Paramount headquarters.

"Hello, I'm Vivien Leigh, and I'm looking for Mr. Adolf Chuckel."

Chu Keer, who is over 70 years old now, is the president of Paramount Corporation. There is still a big gap between Vivien Leigh and this president, but she is already a superstar among actors, and soon an old man came from the other side of the phone Loud voice: "Hello, this is Chukor, Vivien Leigh? I saw your A Streetcar Named Desire. Congratulations. The box office is good. Warner Bros. must be very proud now."

"What's the matter with contacting me, do you want to cooperate with Paramount?"

"No, not me."

Vivien Leigh quickly said: "I'm on vacation, you know, I had some accidents when I was filming a Streetcar Named Desire... My bipolar disorder has worsened, and now that the movie starts to show, I finally feel a little more relaxed. I'm following the doctor's instructions I asked to travel around the United States to relax, and I am in good spirits...but I am not suitable for filming for the time being, I need to rest for a while."

"What I'm going to say is I met a guy in California, um... I don't know how to describe it, I'm afraid you can't really understand until you see him, and it's probably the most beautiful human being."

"Oh?"

Chu Keer became interested: "You are talking about him (he), not she (she)? As a man, is he more beautiful than a woman?"

"His beauty transcends gender and can't be described in words."

Vivien Leigh said excitedly: "I'm inviting him. He doesn't want to make a movie. He finally agreed, but he made a request. He wants to write the script of the movie himself."

On the other side, Chu Keer's face was a little unhappy. The attractiveness of movies in this era and in the future is almost entirely dependent on the plot, so the role of the screenwriter is very important. A person who has never made a movie wants to write a script by himself? What a joke! Is it because the other party has the beauty of an ordinary person? And it's a man. Could it be that Vivien Leigh is talking nonsense?

"Mr. Chuker, believe me, even if he doesn't do anything, relying on his looks and temperament, he will drive everyone crazy. If such a person can not appear on the movie screen, it will be a huge loss for the whole world."

Hearing this exaggerated words, Chu Ke felt it was ridiculous. It seemed that Miss Vivien Leigh became fascinated by someone: "Okay, ma'am... What country is that peerless beauty you met?"

"China."

"What did you say? China!"

The image of Fu Manchu with a moustache and a piggy with a big braid behind his head immediately appeared in Chu Keer's mind.

In the eyes of Americans, the appearance of Orientals: flat face, squinting eyes, was originally synonymous with ugly, but now there is a man in China who is more beautiful than anyone else in the world? Ha ha…

"Miss Vivien Leigh, I'm going to have lunch and we'll talk next time."

Hearing that the phone on the other side hung up, Vivien Leigh put down the phone a little angrily, paused for a few seconds and continued to make a call. This time it was the Warner Bros. film company that he cooperated with a while ago, and Harry Warner on the other side did not show any more interest. , Calling one after another, no matter Universal or Disney, everyone feels ridiculous and contemptuous of the so-called "Chinese peerless beauty".

Someone even asked her if that Chinese man was her new lover.

"Damn, these pompous, stupid Yankees, they don't know what they're missing."

Vivien Leigh felt a tightness in her chest. She was traveling by car and saw a young man running on the road almost faster than the car. She was curious to catch up, but found that both his appearance and temperament were beyond imagination, as if an angel had fallen into the world. It occurred to me that such a person should make a film for the whole world to see.

I didn't expect my enthusiasm to be laughed at by others.

Vivien Leigh suffers from severe manic-depressive disorder, which is a mental illness. When filming A Streetcar Named Desire, it was so severe that she needed electroshock therapy. Recently, through travel, her mind has calmed down a lot, and now she feels like her mind is starting to go wild again. , a flame was burning in my heart, I wanted to bite, catch, and even take off my clothes and run wildly...

When she was suffering from mental illness, she walked around the house naked.

Of course, there are even more absurd things.

Vivien Leigh drove back to the restaurant, as soon as she approached, Yan Luo felt something was wrong.

You feel strong emotions:

Crazy +1, +1...

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Those damned guys..." Vivien Leigh gasped heavily, her eyes were already bloodshot, "My mental state is not very good now... Don't be surprised if I can't control it after a while, put I was knocked out and taken to the hospital... do you know where the hospital is? Yes

Can you drive? "

"You're in a mess right now? There's nothing I can heal."

"what?"

"I have Chinese secret methods. Turn around and don't look at me."

Vivien Leigh turned around suspiciously.

"quiet."

Yan Luo moved his power of speech, and the word "quiet" flew out of his mouth and flew on her body. Immediately, Vivien Leigh, who was originally full of irritability and couldn't even control her consciousness, felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her body, and her mind was cleared. , She was surprised and said: "What kind of medical skill is this? When I was bipolar, even the doctor couldn't control it, and finally I had to use electric shocks to calm me down. What did you just say?"

Vivien Leigh, who almost suffered from bipolar disorder, was full of surprise and joy.

"I speak Chinese."

"If you want to get rid of bipolar disorder completely, I suggest you, you can believe in Buddhism... Even if you don't want to change sects, you can also study Eastern Zen."

Yan Luo introduced a few words and asked, "What did you do?"

"I contacted those film companies... But, they don't believe me, some people even think I'm an idiot..." Vivien Leigh shook her head, "Besides, if you want to write your own script, those arrogant Americans don't agree. Possibly yes... Well, it looks like I screwed up, I shouldn't have called, I should have just taken you to show them."

Yan Luo: "I have a suggestion."

He wants to make a movie with the theme of Enlightenment Age, Steam Age, and Electric Age, and build a city of the three eras. The investment is huge, I am afraid that Cleopatra will be needed, right? Not to mention that he is only a high-level life, even a super-life, it is impossible for those film companies to casually spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot.

"Let's make a movie for them to see first, so as to attract investment. Do you know... kung fu?"

Vivien Leigh: "What is Kung Fu?"

Yan Luo explained: "Kung Fu is a fighting technique, such as Capola, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Russian Sangbo, and American boxing are all similar to Kung Fu. There are hundreds or thousands of Kung Fu schools in China, such as Wing Chun, Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Bajiquan... We can make a movie to show these miraculous kung fu to Americans, and at the same time let those film companies know my ability to write scripts."

"Wing Chun, Bagua, Tai Chi, Baji?"

In the future, in the 1970s and 1980s, Bruce Lee was born and let the world know about Chinese Kung Fu. Later, stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li promoted Kung Fu movies to the whole world. Now Americans are completely unfamiliar with this.

"For a kung fu movie, it doesn't take too long."

After all, now is not the future. To make a blockbuster movie, you have to fly all over the world to select locations. For a Kung Fu movie, you even have to let the protagonist practice for a few months. Some masters can just start playing directly.

"Then what movie do you want to make?" Vivien Leigh couldn't understand, but just now this magical Chinese kid stopped her bipolar disorder with a spell-like syllable, which filled her with trust.

"The movie I'm going to make is called Ip Man. The script has already been written. As for the main character, I plan to ask Master Ye from Chinatown to play it."

"What about you?" Vivien Leigh was most concerned about this.

Yan Luo made a smiling expression: "Of course I want to play the boss."

The consciousness of the avatar and the main body are connected. Tang Seng is in Chinatown. Yan Luo has already learned that there are many martial arts in this world. This period in the real history of the world is also the last glorious era of martial arts. After the founding of New China, martial arts quickly declined. Especially It is because many older generations hide all good things, and many Chinese martial arts will almost be lost in the future.

There should be some masters in Chinatown now.

As soon as Bruce Lee appeared in the future, he became the "god" in the hearts of Americans after only making 4 films, one of the top ten cultural icons influencing the world in the 20th century, and Jackson, Elvis Presley, Monroe, Che Guevara and others equal name. Now let Ye Man and other masters act in a movie 20 years in advance, showing the skills of Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Baguazhang, etc. How much sensation will it cause?

Whether Americans or Europeans watch movies in this era, they are all about love and romance. How much box office can a hearty Kung Fu movie receive? Next, I will shoot a masterpiece that combines the three eras, and the production cost should be enough.

"Well, by the way, we are shooting a Kung Fu movie: Besides Ip Man, we can also make a gangster movie."

"I have a very creative script: The Godfather."

Whether it's a Kung Fu movie: Ip Man or a gangster movie: The Godfather, it doesn't take long, because it just needs to be played in its own right—there are plenty of extras in Chinatown.

When Yan Luo made his decision, a group of people sat in a restaurant in Chinatown.

The bodybuilding coach who is the representative of the "Axe Gang" is sitting at a table, and an old man is introducing him.

"Our gang in Chinatown is second to none in San Francisco. It's all thanks to the gang's dedication to the master."

"This one is Master Xu with Twelve Road Tan Legs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His legs are more flexible than his hands, and he can kick the opponent from incredible angles."

Shen Bohui was wearing a black Zhongshan suit popular in this era, with glasses, stood up with a smirk on his face and shook hands with the Tan leg master: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"This is Master Lin of Wudang swordsmanship. His sword is as fast as lightning, and his power is like splitting a mountain and splitting a rock!"

"This is Master Liao of Xingyi Quan. He is proficient in the two shapes of tiger and crane among the twelve forms of Xingyi. In particular, the iron fingers of Crane Fist can penetrate stone slabs. There is also this one who is practicing Nanquan. Master Kang of Bench Boxing, as the saying goes, the bench is one of the seven weapons, usually you can hide it in your house and get it easily, you can also sit on it to hide your murderous intentions, if you encounter an enemy, just pick up the bench and sit down to fight the enemy."

After everyone's introduction, Shen Bohui said with a smile: "Actually, we came from the mainland this time, and the establishment of the Ax Gang is to fight against evil... I think that in Chinatown, only the Ax Gang exists, and all other gangs are It should be disbanded."

"what?"

"It makes no sense."

The four masters here are enshrined by Gelaohui, Liuhe faction, Black Dragon Gang, and Crocodile Gang. After learning about the arrival from the mainland, the news of Dao Scar Liu made several gangs feel like they were on the verge of a formidable enemy and at the same time doubted the authenticity of the information. In addition, I heard that the mainland members of the Ax Gang are very good at fighting, so the four gangs, each gang sent a priest, and invited the members of the Ax Gang to come.

Unexpectedly, the mainlanders were too arrogant.

"What do you mean, only you Ax Gang, so what are we?"

"Good question." Shen Bohui still had a smirk on his face, he nodded and said, "If you are interested, you can join our Ax Gang, but you have to go through selection first, because we only want elites, and we will never accept garbage."
