Chapter 173 Director Chen Musheng Can Do It! (14)

Regardless of whether the medicine is good or not, now that Shen Xudong is here, he wants to satisfy his senior sister!

It is inevitable to work hard...

The so-called eating people is soft-spoken, taking advantage of others is short-handed, and taking the benefits is to meet the needs of Party A!

So, another artistic debate...

A tough guy who loves his job and is dedicated to his job, his qualities are so comprehensive.

But... no matter how comprehensive it is, it still needs to be restored. Shen Xudong decided to talk about the script...

First I asked: "Senior, don't you have any idea to enter the film industry?"

"Of course...it's not fun to make TV series all the time!"

"Didn't Producer Zhuang say some time ago that Mr. Wu is in Hong Kong? It seems that he has reached a cooperation agreement with several Hong Kong filmmakers?"

Chen Hao shook his head: "...Hong Kong filmmakers go north to choose state-owned enterprises such as Shanghai Film and Television Films and China Film and Television. Even if they choose private companies, they are still like Huayi... What he can contact is more of the most respected ones... "

No, according to memory, Chengtian later took control of two large-scale projects, "Red Cliff" and "Wind and Cloud 2", with its strong financial advantage!

"Wind and Cloud 2" is obviously a sequel planned after taking over Golden Harvest. Unfortunately, it failed miserably at the box office...

Later, I caught up with Wang Jing and filmed "Future Police"...

But...the works they produce don't seem to be considered mainstream in Hong Kong movies.

What is the mainstream of Hong Kong movies?

Of course it’s a police movie!

After "Eavesdropping", the Hong Kong film and television industry is obsessed with star-studded police and gangster films...

Johnnie To once criticized this phenomenon, which originated from Andy Lau's "Actors bailing out the market" saying, which probably means, "The market is in a slump, and we, the actors, must unite and work together to make a movie..."

It's a pity that it's useless. In the seven years between "Infernal Affairs" and "The Overheard", many Hong Kong films of decent quality were produced, but none of them were as impressive as "The Overheard"...

Celebrity clustering still works!

It proves that this approach is feasible - find a bunch of familiar actors, arrange them in twos and threes, "Anti-Drug", "Apostle Walker", "Anti-Corruption Storm"...

But Chengtian has never done anything like this...

Shen Xudong was a little hesitant...

"Why did you suddenly say this?"

"I have a notebook...but..."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up: "What book?"

"The theme of police and gangsters... involving criminal police... I guess it can only be filmed in Hong Kong."

"Say it first!"

"Okay, cough..." Shen Xudong cleared his throat: "The heroine is a single mother, and her child is in kindergarten. One day..."

…

After telling the plot of "Hold the Call", Shen Xudong asked Chen Hao: "How do you feel?"

"...it's pretty good...but it's really like a Hong Kong movie..."

He is a drug dealer and a criminal policeman. This kind of thing can only appear in Hong Kong movies...

Shen Xudong nodded: "That's why I asked you if you want to develop in the film industry!"

"How do I look like a single mother?"

"...The plot requires it..."

"But...if you continue like this, I might really become a mother!"

Shen Xudong looked aggrieved: "...Sister, let's be reasonable, obviously..."

Chen Hao interrupted him: "Don't say it! Besides, I won't let you... Why are you so obedient?"

“…”

Shen Xudong shut up. At this time, there was no need to argue anymore. Moreover, if he kept talking, he was worried that he would have to dedicate himself to art again...

Decisively changed the topic: "I think "Hold the Call" is suitable for director Chen Musheng to direct!"

"Chen Musheng?"

"Well, he's good at this kind of thing..."

The most famous label of Hong Kong movies is police and gangster action movies, and many outstanding directors and actors have been born in this field.

Wu Yusen is one of the best!

Chen Musheng's works lack top-notch super classics like "A Better Tomorrow" and "Blood on the Street"...

But he also has his own label, and there are all kinds of bad policemen in his works - he himself feels that violent institutions with guns and authority, if not supervised and restricted, are very likely to be Be part of the crime.

Therefore, whether it is the real debut film "Stormtroopers: Streets of Rage" - "If There is Love" is the work of Johnnie To, or "The True Colors of a Man", the villains are usually insiders of the system, mainly the police...

But... the same is true for success, and the same is true for failure - the rhythm is very good, it is very commercial, and it is very gripping. But sometimes when there are some profound expressions, they often stop at the surface...

Therefore, it can only be regarded as a mid-level film among the stars of the Hong Kong film industry.

Chen Musheng's ability to direct movies is of course inseparable from the help of Johnnie To and others. In addition, his surname is Chen - Jackie Chan approached him to film "Who Am I", "New Police Story", "Baby Project"...

Jackie Chan is very old-school and takes special care of people with the same surname as him. He has worked with Chen Jia Shang and Chen Musheng. He has an assistant named Chen Desen for four years. Later, Chen Desen wanted to be a director, and Jackie Chan arranged for him to record Chen Xunqi's works on the spot, including Chen Desen's famous works. "Purple Rain" was also invested by Jackie Chan...

Bringing it back, "Hold the Call" itself is not a classic...

The original shot by Chen Musheng is pretty good, except for the big S that pulls the crotch, everything is pretty good...

"...If you don't want it, I'll go find Zhang Guoli. He should be able to contact Chen Musheng!"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "...has the script been written?"

"Not yet, but the story structure has been written..."

"Then don't go find Teacher Zhang Guoli first, wait until I talk to Mr. Wu..."

"Um…"

Shen Xudong nodded, and Chen Hao remembered something and asked him: "I heard Zhuang Liqi talk about "Beauty's Scheming", your company also wants to invest?"

"...it's Gao Fenfen who wants to invest..."

"Who is Gao Fenfen?"

"The general manager of our company...is responsible for the company's business..."

"how about you?"

"Me? I'm responsible for writing the script!" "...But I heard that your company invested 3 million. Do you have that much money?"

Chen Hao was more concerned about whether the money belonged to Shen Xudong...

She was recently comparing Shen Xudong and Wu Kebo. She felt that except for the financial disadvantages of the former, she completely beat the latter in other aspects...

The perfect combination of hardware and software, it can be called the pinnacle experience...

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just a screenwriter... But Gao Fenfen's father is from BJ TV. If she joins, the series will sell better..."

"I asked why "Three Kingdoms" was broadcast on BJ station. It turned out to be this reason..."

"…Why do you care about this?"

"Chen Xi told me... and also said that your company is planning to invest in TV series production?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...That is the company's decision and has nothing to do with me..."

"Why are you nervous...I didn't say it had anything to do with you..."

"I'm...not nervous..." Shen Xudong quickly asked: "You have a good relationship with Chen Xi?"

Chen Hao nodded: "Not bad, after all, she is the only member of the crew..."

"That's good..."

Chen Hao suddenly asked: "Have you ever had sex with her?"

Shen Xudong asked: "...What do you think?"

"It's hard to say... I only know that when she was on the set of "The Best in the World", she often went to your room to look for you, and she would stay there for half an hour!"

"Are you looking down on me? Half an hour?"
