Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 231 A Xia is Not an Individualist, but Serves the Country and the People
It had to be him!
Seeing Lu Xuan's persistence, the teachers still made a call to Chen Daoming, asking if he was willing to meet with Lu Xuan.
Upon learning it was Lu Xuan, Chen Daoming found it strange, because he knew that Lu Xuan had been exceptionally popular recently.
Moreover, his pursuit of perfection in movies and other aspects was unlike others who were casual or even just muddling through.
Because of this, Chen Daoming thought for a while and agreed to their invitation.
Just a meeting.
He wanted to see what Lu Xuan planned to say.
"Hello, Teacher Chen."
Lu Xuan was invited to Chen Daoming's home as a guest.
Chen Daoming's home was very low-key, a simple small house with a quiet and elegant feel amidst the bustle.
The courtyard was planted with many flowers and plants.
Lu Xuan entered and was invited by Chen Daoming to sit down at a tea table in the courtyard.
He brewed a pot of tea.
"I heard you were looking for me."
"I've watched the movies you've made. I really didn't expect that there would still be such a capable director and actor like you. Seeing your strength, I know that this industry still has a future."
Chen Daoming knew that he was old now.
When he was young, he wasn't any less handsome than the current traffic stars.
But back then, he didn't have this environment.
Just because he was too good-looking, he was even scolded by the audience as a pretty boy.
So, all along, he had been desperately trying to make his strength more outstanding.
Instead of always being told that he was relying on his looks to make a living.
But he never thought that one day, when he got old, the industry would actually be relying on looks to make a living.
"Teacher Chen, I'm here to invite you to participate in my movie."
"Is that so?"
Chen Daoming smiled and didn't refuse. He just took a sip of tea and said, "I haven't taken on a role in a long time."
For an actor like him, at his current status, he wouldn't lack roles.
Many scripts were willing to invite him.
But he wasn't willing.
He couldn't just let any script ruin the reputation he had built up over so many years.
Therefore, although he admired Lu Xuan, he would still have to read the script and consider it carefully before making a decision.
"This is the script. You can take a look at it first."
Lu Xuan's attitude was very good.
Chen Daoming took the script, smiling and joking, "You should know my temper. If the script isn't good, I won't film it!"
Accompanying Lu Xuan this time were several other veteran actors.
They were sitting here, all looking towards Lu Xuan's side.
After all, the kid had shown them the script last time, and this time they also wanted to know what Chen Daoming's reaction would be after seeing it.
Who knew that after Chen Daoming read it, he was very calm.
The other veteran actors also started reading it together.
They felt that this script was different from what they had seen before.
It had a lot of feeling.
If it could be filmed, it would definitely be something that everyone would be willing to watch.
Lu Xuan knew that the movie *Hero* didn't have a very good reputation back then.
But if it were to be released now, it would be an excellent masterpiece.
Moreover, Lu Xuan's feelings for *Hero* were something that others couldn't understand.
He wanted to film it, it was that simple.
And he believed that the feeling of filming it here would definitely be completely different from filming it anywhere else.
"This script of yours is quite well-written. I can't see anything bad about it so far."
Because the entire plot was closely linked, and even a little bit off wouldn't work.
"This line, 'The great hero serves the country and its people,' is very good!"
"I like this line too!"
"This script is really good."
"You kid, are you planning to keep making wuxia movies? We thought *Brotherhood of Blades* was very good, but we didn't expect you to write such a wuxia."
In fact, this movie was still essentially a wuxia.
These assassins were all xia (chivalrous heroes), all people who wanted to dedicate themselves to the justice in their hearts and the righteousness of the country.
They didn't even care about their own lives, as long as they could accomplish what they believed in their hearts.
After seeing the entire script, they felt it was very powerful, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What do you say?"
They were all carefully reading the script, reading it repeatedly, and felt that no matter how many times they read it, the charm of the script was different.
They all praised it unanimously.
"Lu Xuan, we're really thinking now, you're too talented. Even if others write one of these movies, it's already amazing, but you can write the script for every movie so wonderfully."
"Thank you for the praise. Actually, I'm just trying to fulfill the wuxia dream in my heart."
After Lu Xuan said that, he just smiled indifferently.
If the *Brotherhood of Blades* series tells a wuxia story in a small environment.
Then the movie *Hero* completely opens up the wuxia story, expanding the pattern to the country and the country, and how the xia should choose between the country.
Under the big environment, everything that wuxia can do.
It can be said that *Hero* truly interprets wuxia.
Lu Xuan placed this movie in a very important position because of this.
Chen Daoming couldn't calm down for a long time after reading the script.
He felt that he hadn't seen a script that really excited him like this for many years.
His heart was surging.
His blood was boiling.
The other veteran actors were the same. They all felt that this was the first time they had seen a plot that really made them feel like they had been brought into it just by seeing the script.
This feeling was really too great.
"This feud between your countries is indeed a big pattern. How do you plan to film it?"
"Which actors are you planning to arrange to play the assassins from the Zhao Kingdom?"
"The selection of Nameless has to find a good actor, otherwise he will be scolded to death by the audience."
"Yes, we all know how powerful the King of Qin is, but the choice of Nameless, and the requirements he puts forward, seem to turn the King of Qin's goal into the goal that Nameless wants him to achieve, which is very strange."
When they spoke, they still had some ideas about this matter.
Chen Daoming was also carefully looking at Lu Xuan, wanting to know what kind of explanation he had.
"Don't you all know me? I wouldn't choose a bad actor for such a big movie, and with you teachers here, I think you can all have a say in what kind of actor to choose."
