At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 247 Recommendation (24)

Jackie Chan had some conflicts with Du Qifeng, because "One Hundred Thousand Urgent"...

In fact, "One Hundred Thousand Urgency" is obviously not Du Qifeng's style, it is said to be Jackie Chan's idea.

Jackie Chan also scolded Du Qifeng in the newspaper...

Chen Kexin has never worked with Jackie Chan.

However, they all admit that Jackie Chan is the biggest name in the Hong Kong film industry!

Chen Kexin talked about his fate with Jackie Chan: "Actually, I worked in Golden Harvest in the 80s. The first film I participated in was "Heroes Without Tears". The filming needed a translator, so I went there, and they asked me to do the coordinating... "Heroes Without Tears" encountered an accident during the filming, and several people died. As the director, Wu Yusen chose to conceal the report, so I secretly told the boss..."

Shen Xudong answered: "I remember that "Heroes Without Tears" didn't seem to be released at all, and director Wu Yusen was fired by Golden Harvest because of this play?"

"Yes, it wasn't screened... After "The True Colors of Heroes" became a hit, Golden Harvest released "Heroes Without Tears"...Because of the "Heroes Without Tears", the boss admired me very much and arranged for me to do "Fighting Dragons" Detective's assistant director..."

Golden Harvest cooperated with Hollywood "Warner Films" in "The Dragon Detective", hoping to use this film to promote Jackie Chan to the North American film market.

"Screenwriter...he can take any job..."

Therefore, the word-of-mouth of "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" is very divided, and the box office is not so good...

Once not in the play, the problem will be magnified.

"After returning to Hong Kong, Jackie Chan held back his anger and took out "Police Story"... This inspired me a lot. It turns out that making movies really needs to be innovative!"

"...Well, come on!"

As for Johnnie To...

"So, let's open up the market, make a few more romance films, and then discuss with the higher-ups how to make some gunfight genres. The mainland was very chaotic in the 90s, and there were a lot of gangsters..."

What's more, "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" can indeed blow a wave...

"...Are you so good? If I say conditions, you can write?"

Without Li Min's body fan, the mentality is similar to Li Min's...

Chen Kexin still has the possibility of cooperating. After Ya went to the north, she found a lot of screenwriters and made a bunch of books. For example, she found Lu Wei to write the screenplay of "Waiting". Uh, Kong Lin, a military doctor who had an affair with a nurse, waited for 18 years. The story of finally getting divorced from my original wife in my hometown...A military doctor, who had an extramarital affair, definitely couldn't pass the trial, and later wanted to do "The Case of the Farmer in the Sauce Garden" and "The Great River and the Sea"...

I said why Du Qifeng would care about a small screenwriter, it turned out to be "Manslaughter"...

I'm a world cinema citizen anyway...

Shen Xudong shook his head: "In fact, urban romance films like "Slimming Man and Woman" and "Lonely Man and Widow" are very popular all over the world!"

"What is a blockbuster?"

"There must be a big scene, big stars...and high investment!"

"...to feed the company!"

Chen Kexin nodded: "Then it's no problem... My "If You Love" is invested by Star Beauty!"

"Oh!" Chen Kexin nodded, and then asked again: "But "Lost Orphan" sold 6700 million, and it also sold 600 million in Hong Kong!"

Shen Xudong immediately thought of "The Tailor"...

Shen Xudong talked about a few cases, like Zhang Jun, Erwang, Hulan Daxia, etc...

"Does Director Du have an idea to enter the mainland?"

The biggest problem with the movie "Judo Dragon Tiger List" is the casting!

"Judo Dragon and Tiger List" itself is to create a highly hypothetical plot setting that is different from what normal audiences can come into contact with-everyone's dignity and status in the film are achieved by judo!
Then you can't have any setting that makes the audience jump out of the plot and start thinking.

"...Like "Hero"..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then told the truth: "The most important thing is theater support..."

Chen Kexin also acted as an assistant director in the film under He Guanchang's arrangement, helping the "pillar" Jackie Chan to enter the international film market.

The age and status of the two men created a serious dissonance.

"Let's discuss... there must be a chance!"

"A Tale of Two Cities" was selected as the best film by the Hong Kong Directors Guild, Zeng Zhiwei won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor, and Chen Kexin also became a hit...

But Shen Xudong must praise "Judo Dragon and Tiger List"...

In fact, directors like Johnnie To are typical of those who resist the mainland...

I feel that I can live without leaving the mainland!

"Then why did you shoot in the first place?"

Aaron Kwok is going to play a rising stunner, while Gu Tianle is a stagnant hidden master...

It's very simple to blow a movie. If you can't blow the plot, you can blow it up. If you can't blow it, you can blow the temperament!

Du Qifeng pointed at himself in disbelief: "Do you think I still want to make that kind of movie now?"

Johnnie To became interested: "They will let me shoot?"

"Forget it, what I'm good at can't be screened in mainland China!"

It's a pity that the effect of "The Dragon Detective" was not satisfactory after its release in North America, and Jackie Chan's trip to Hollywood ended in failure.

"How do you understand the big scene?"

After "Drug Wars", I couldn't make a good movie.

After that, I went into streaming media!

The Hong Kong market is too cold, and there is no way to pay back. The foreign market is almost occupied by Hollywood, and Hong Kong movies will never go back to the past~
Now the only way out is the domestic market.

Shen Xudong shook his head resolutely: "These words are too absolute. Whether the soil is not the soil mainly depends on the clothes. The so-called people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. If you change your clothes, you are all urban beauties!"

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "Maybe it triggered a social discussion..."

In the Hong Kong film market in 04, Chinese films were extremely unacceptable, and 1000 million would be able to rank among the top ten grossing records——"House of Flying Daggers" Hong Kong box office was 1400 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 7th in the year...

A movie that pays tribute to Akira Kurosawa, to be precise, "Zi Sanshiro"...

There is an egg, once "The Promise" is on, all theaters will be closed for you!

After talking about some experiences, Chen Kexin asked Shen Xudong about the wind direction of the mainland market, and Du Qifeng also listened carefully...

"I didn't start directing my first movie, "A Tale of Two Cities" until 91..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, theaters in the mainland prefer blockbuster movies..."

"...Even if I want to shoot, I can't find a suitable actor. Mainland actresses are too rustic..."

……

"Is it enough to spark a discussion?"

"Well, we were surprised too!"

"...There is no suitable script for the time being...You found Lin Lingdong for "Manslaughter"...Do you have a suitable script?"

"...Oh? Hong Kong sold 600 million?"

But thinking of Du Qifeng's reputation, forget it, what if he stole the idea and asked someone to shoot it?

"Not yet, but if Director Du wants it, he can talk about the conditions. I'll go back and write one..."

Leave a sentence 'The most fearful thing about making a movie is not not being able to make a film, but not being able to choose! '

"... Give me an example."

"Chen Hao and Gao Yuanyuan are not bad..."

"Then write me a script, I'll read it first..."

"Success, no problem!"
