Chapter 628: Use What Is Beneficial to Development
“Hong Kong movies have always had a bad habit of not paying attention to scripts.
In the past, only New Arts City valued scripts. As long as the script was finalized, the director had to follow it, so their films had a complete structure and a very layered feel - of course it has been abandoned now.
Colleagues in the industry have not learned this good habit. They are all happy to be flyers, and they are not ashamed but proud of it.
But what is rare is that the two kung fu actors, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, attach great importance to the script. "Plan A" took more than a year to complete.
It really makes me admire Cheng Long with admiration. This is the attitude towards making movies.
I am lucky enough to have won two Oscars, including one for Best Screenplay.
Now that I have returned with a great reputation, I am happy to exchange information with my colleagues in Xiangjiang. In the past, the friendship price was very cheap, but now it has to go up. One script is 15
Wan, welcome to book. If you're afraid of trouble, that's okay, I can change my name and no one will know it's my handiwork. "
This article is as cheap as it gets.
Even if everyone is immune to him, they can't help showing their veins and twitching the corners of their mouths, he's so arrogant! Too arrogant! But even if someone has won an Oscar, you still have to have the capital to be arrogant.
Yuan Heping and Zhuang Cheng, who were familiar with the inside story, also had dark clues in their heads. They were keen to judge that this guy might one day blow up the pen name "Dongfang Ren".
In fact, if possible, many people would really like to ask Chen Qi to do it. This guy's creative ability is recognized. But 150,000 Hong Kong dollars is too outrageous. How much does a movie cost?
After Chen Qi came back, it seemed that many people were waiting for his actions, but except for this sarcastic article, everything was calm.
He was not in a hurry and did his work in an orderly manner.
Clearwater Bay, office.
Zhuang Cheng is very active and has already sent the shooting list.
The director's name is Huang Tailai. He made a few films that were neither popular nor popular. Later he became famous, including "The Mysterious Case of the Three Wolves", "The Unbuttoned Girl", "Sword Laughter" and so on.
The heroine was actually found from Japan, named Yumiko Tadokoro.
In the early 1980s, Japan's AV industry broke ground because of such things as video tapes. Videotapes are intimate, one-on-one interactions, and can circumvent the ethical censorship of the film industry.
It was very profitable at this time. A box of AV video tapes sold for 7,000-12,000 yen. This stuff was fresh and the Japanese were rich. The sales volume of a slightly better quality one could exceed 10,000 yen, which is 100 million yen.
Yumiko Tadokoro is considered to be the first generation of famous actresses. She is only 19 years old and focuses on the theme of beautiful girls.
Chen Qi looked at the photo and didn't recognize it. It was too old. But she has a very beautiful girlish temperament, which is very suitable for filming that kind of pitiful role.
The earliest actresses he knew were Hitomi Shiraishi, Ai Iijima, and Yaya Kozuki. They were all in the 1990s. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether this girl is beautiful or not, she must be called "Momonogi"!
Maple Love in "Tai Chi", Ishikawa in "The Orphan", and Momonogi in "The Forbidden Room". If you keep taking photos like this, you may have a chance to collect 108
General, summon the dragon.
The male protagonist is a middle-aged white man found by Bob Shea, whom I have never heard of. The salary is only 2,000 US dollars, less than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Young actors are cheap everywhere, but other labor and service costs are more expensive.
Bob Shea will shoot a few minutes of location shooting in the United States, and the expenses will be included in the general ledger, and the rest will be handed over to Chen Qi. The budget is capped at HK$1 million, and the estimated cycle time is 7 days, and the studio will be rented out.
Everyone, including the director, has pseudonyms.
Zhuang Cheng was very thoughtful in his work, and he also set up a shell company to do this job. He had an aura of being targeted by the anti-pornography campaign, both inside and out.
"Oh, I really want to give on-site guidance!"
"But if you can't go, then your secret will be exposed. What a pity!"
No one would have thought that Mr. Chen, a left-winger who had just introduced the dashing and handsome Li Saifeng, would actually create such a heartbreaking film. He himself doesn't care, as long as everything can be used for my own purposes and is conducive to development.
The Jiang family has been running theaters for decades. Although it has never become big, it has steadily accumulated a lot of wealth. For example, they invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars in the Nanguo Theater in Shenzhen, so they can be considered a small fortune.
When the brothers came back, they came to see their father as soon as possible.
My father was a theater manager at first, and then went out to work on his own. He has rich experience in the world. After hearing what happened, he did not express his position. Instead, he asked: "How do you think of the movies you brought back?"
"It's just so-so. A few million in box office would be good."
"Looking at the current situation, what are your thoughts on the future development of the theater?"
The two brothers looked at each other, and Jiang Zhiwen said: "Naturally, we should proceed steadily, open more theaters, and introduce more blockbusters. We have tried it in terms of production.
Not very good, it would be better to focus on distribution. "
"Moreover, we need to build a multi-hall theater. Traditional theaters will become obsolete!" Jiang Zhiqiang added.
"Yes, this is the most suitable route for us. It takes a long time, but it is better than being safe. Or on the other hand, although it is safe, it takes too long."
"You mean, promise Mr. Chen?" Jiang Zhiwen understood what Dad Pin meant.
"Hong Kong's return is a foregone conclusion. If we make Western films, we will not be involved with the rightists. We are pure and clean. If we submit, we will be taken seriously. But not right away!"
"When was that?"
"I always feel that Mr. Chen did not put forward this opinion for no reason, and should have other actions. Let's wait and see what he wants to do.
Dad spoke, and the two brothers naturally obeyed.
After a meal, everyone went home. Jiang Zhiqiang has his own place. He doesn't have much to do. After failing to introduce "Garfield Goes to the City" last year, he stopped doing specific work. He usually reads books and so on.
He thinks that there is no cartoon in Hong Kong, so there must be a market for cartoons. It's just that "Garfield Goes to the City" is not suitable for local conditions. He has been studying what kind of movies are suitable for the local area. Later, he found Hayao Miyazaki.
Today is a family meeting, and Jiang Zhiqiang is quite touched.
Mr. Chen's words can make his family nervous and ready. This is not fear for no reason. The real reason is: Although the Jiang family has connections in Hollywood, if Chen Qi wants to snatch their film sources, he can get them in minutes!
That's why they are afraid.
In this calm and subtle atmosphere, it soon reached mid-April.
Early in the morning of this day, Zhuang Cheng, Yu Rentai, Lin Zhengying, Li Lizhen and others gathered at the Golden Harvest Studios on Fushan Road.
Ho Kuan-chang received him and said with a smile: "Mr. Vampire will be released tomorrow. The left likes to have the main creators come to the scene to promote it at the premiere. We have tried it several times and the effect is really good. Let's call everyone here today to discuss how to arrange it."
"No problem, I have prepared a plan."
This matter is naturally handled by Zhuang Cheng.
In Mr. Vampire, Xu Guanying is the most famous, Li Lizhen also has a certain popularity with "Happy Ghost", and Lin Zhengying is about the same, and then there is nothing else. Naturally, we have to make a promotional strategy with these three people as the core.
Li Lizhen didn't quite understand and was too lazy to listen, just muttering one thing.
She has always been upset about being kicked out of the left, and the success of "New Policewoman" made her even more angry. She always hoped that Mr. Vampire could be a big hit,
overwhelming Li Moon-fong and Qiu Shuzhen.
Let that Chen regret it!
(I got it..—
Another month has passed, and this year has gone by in the blink of an eye.)
