Before that, many viewers said they couldn't understand the movie " The Sun Also Rises " by Jiang Wen and .
And this movie, Jiang Wen, who stood and made money, told us what the fuck is a surprise.
Chow Yun-fat and Ge You were tricked into
"Let the Bullets Fly" was adapted from the novel " Pirates of Officials ".
is usually not a screenwriter, but a screenwriter from Tiantuan who writes the screenplay for Jiang Wen.
wrote the script for Jiang Wen this time, and it took six screenwriters to finish the story.
revised more than ten drafts of back and forth, and wrote five large blackboards for the story line. The
movie has had many names, including " Burning Clouds ", and also called "Where is No Ecstasy", and finally finalized "Let the Bullets Fly".
Jiang Wen has a habit of looking for actors when the script is only half finished, and can start the game when it is two-thirds finished. The rest of
are live changes and improvisations. When
was writing the script, Jiang Wen wanted to invite Chow Yun-fat and Ge You to play the roles.
But Jiang Wen knows that if he finds Chow Yun-fat and Ge You to play the role, people must read the script and know what role to play.
But the script is not finished yet, so there is no way to show it to the actors, but Jiang Wen will write. In order to express his sincerity,
personally wrote an invitation letter to Chow Yun-fat, which is brilliant and sincere.
In the letter, Jiang Wen praised 's brother in various ways, and said that Huang Shilang is a wonderful character, shocking the past and the present.
In order to invite Chow Yun-Fat, Jiang Wen knew that it was not enough to praise Brother Fa. He also played a clever trick and mentioned in the letter that Ge You would also participate in the show.
himself, Ge You, plus Chow Yun-fat, this is a proper lineup.
and the letter was sent to Fager on February 14, 2010.
received Jiang Wen's letter on Valentine's Day, Fa Ge's first reaction was to cry, the first reason was that he couldn't understand it, and second, when he received Jiang Wen's letter on Valentine's Day, Fa Ge was a little scared, thinking that Jiang Wen treated him What is the intention.
learned that Ge You was joining. Although there was no script, Fa Ge agreed to Jiang Wen.
Ge You, a mainland comedy boss, cherishes each other, and likes Ge You's humor very much.
At the same time, Jiang Wen also wrote a letter to Ge You, so he repeated his skills. In addition to praise, he said that Chow Yun-fat would also participate in the show.
So, without seeing the script and not knowing what to film, the two stars, , have already agreed to appear in the movie.
joined the crew, after reading the script, Huang Shilang's domineering exposed, so that Ge You was tempted, and the idea of wanting to play Huang Shilang was born.
Later, Jiang Wen and Ge You said, if you play Huang Shilang, who will play Ma Bond . You can't let Chow Yun-fat act as a master.
Ge You thought about it, it's really not suitable for Chow Yun Fat to play Ma Bond, you have to listen to the director.
Chow Yun-fat screwed up for half a month
Chow Yun-fat is famous for his dedication and strict work habits. In order to be able to speak good lines,
specially found a language teacher to teach him to speak Mandarin according to the script before filming.
until he can memorize his lines word for word throughout the script.
As soon as the result entered the group, when it came to filming, Chow Yun-fat found that the lines and the script were fundamentally differentIn this way, many of the lines are improvised by Jiang Wen. The lines of the
characters were all researched that day, and the next day they were filmed on the spot.
And every time they shoot, Jiang Wen will bring him new lines, which can be accepted once or twice.
many times, Zhou Yunfa was about to be tortured by Jiang Wen to the point of going crazy, and he almost quarreled with Jiang Wen several times.
Ge You once said: "It's called a script for others, but it's called a drama paper for us."
's implication can be modified and voided at any time. The shooting of
has been going on for half a month, and Fa Ge is no longer stubborn. Not only can he adapt to Jiang Wen's rhythm, but also like Jiang Wen, he has also changed his lines. In the scene of
Hongmen Banquet, Brother Fa said: "Master is tall, the county magistrate is hard."
Then Jiang Wen and Ge You answered at the same time: " Mr. Huang is tall and hard. My brother improvised.
still has a play, and Fage has changed three versions. At the beginning of
, Fa Ge said with a big smile on his face: "Now, let the county magistrate Ma, who suppressed the bandits go home, say a few words for us." During a subsequent shoot of
, Fa Ge changed it to "Now there is a horse who please come back triumphantly." The county magistrate said a few words for us!"
, but he was obviously still dissatisfied. In the last filming, the line was changed to "Now I have the magistrate Ma, who has returned from triumph, to say a few words for everyone!"
After changing the lines three times, after some scrutiny, Brother Fa showed the "forbearance" of Huang Shilang, who was very shrewd, quite well.
Jiang Wen also found a "fake" for Chow Yun-fat.
Chow Yun-fat played two roles in the play, Huang Shilang and Yang Wanlou.
But Yang Wanlou is not starred by Chow Yun-fat himself, but by Wenxiang , who resembles Chow Yun-fat.
When Wen Xiang put on a suit and walked to Chow Yun-Fat's agent, the agent even arranged his clothes for him, but he didn't recognize that this was Brother Fa, and Wen Xiang became the first person to fan Fa Brother in ten years.
father, wife, brother Qi went to battle
was fooled by Jiang Wen, but not only Ge You and Chow Yun-fat.
played the role of Hu Jun , who played the "fake hemp bandit", also from Jiang Wen.
He called Hu Jun and said, "I have prepared a giant NB character for you, specially reserved for you."
Hu Jun was filming " Golden Wedding " with Zhou Yun and at the time, and there was no time.
Jiang Wen told Hu Jun that Zhou Yun, who played your opponent's role, has been borrowed by me. You can't do it alone. Why don't you come and help me make a cameo? Besides, this role is specially prepared for you, but it's awesome .
When Hu Jun heard it, it made sense, so he agreed to Jiang Wen.
Hu Jun agreed, but Jiang Wende communicated with director Zheng Xiaolong about Hu Jun's time.
So Jiang Wen borrowed someone from Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "The Golden Wedding".
Zheng Xiaolong is also very smart, the person who borrowed it from me can use it, so you have to borrow it from me. The
condition is that Jiang Wen made a cameo role in "The Golden Wedding", so that Zheng Xiaolong agreed to give Hu Jun a few days to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly".
When Hu Jun entered the crew, he realised that something was wrong. First of all, he was given a makeup try-on. He had a big beard and fake pockmarks all over his face.
Afterwards, someone ridiculed Hu Jun: "It must be that you got too close to Zhou Yun in the play, and Jiang Wen 'corrected' you." In the
movie, the role of Wu Juren was first finalized by Sun Honglei .
Jiang Wen took a fancy to Sun Honglei's image of Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest".
But Sun Honglei had no schedule, so Jiang Wen thought of his younger brother Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Wu
at that time, Jiang Wu had just finished filming other scenes and was watching TV at home. At this time, the phone rang. Jiang Wu saw that Jiang Wen sent a text message to Jiang Wu, "What?"
Jiang Wu returned, "Where is home."
Jiang Wen sent another , "Is the beard still there?"
At that time, Jiang Wugang had just finished shaving his beard.
Jiang Wu thought about it, this is something, he quickly replied, "Yes."
After a day, Jiang Wen sent another message, "Play me a role".
Jiang Wu replied, "That's right."
was worried that there would be no beard, so Jiang Wu told Jiang Wen, I'll figure out how to play this role at home, and then let's meet and talk.
went to see Jiang Wen only when his beard grew almost the same.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu
joined the crew because the brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu look alike.
Jiang Wen's suggestion is to make it impossible for the audience to see that the two of them are brothers, and to make them recognizable.
So, Jiang Wu sat in front of the mirror all day, and was put on all kinds of exaggerated beards and wigs by the stylist, but the effect was unsatisfactory.
In the end, Jiang Wu came up with a coup at home in the middle of the night. He kept his hair long and curled and made it into an explosive head.
This made everyone including director Jiang Wen shine.
Jiang Wu finally appeared in the "Lion King" look with "silver beard curly hair".
In addition to his wife Zhou Yun and his younger brother Jiang Wu, it was Jiang Wen's father who was playing mahjong with a gun and shouting "huh" in the play.
The old man who plays mahjong - Jiang Wen's father

Liao Fan wanted to read the script, Jiang Wen said that the script was still being changed, and instead asked him if he would ride a horse.
Liao Fan replied, no.
Jiang Wen decided, "Let's go horseback riding tomorrow." Just like that, it was done. ,
