At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 285 Exceeding Expectations (34)

"I still like director Chen Musheng quite a lot. He is not a director with obvious personal style like Johnnie To. He is very similar to Liu Weiqiang, and he is the mainstay in the tide of the film industry.

Their existence is more representative of the level reached by the Hong Kong film industry. Sometimes we use the word "craftsman" to describe these steady directors, but in fact the film industry may be indispensable to their needs. "

"Mature commercial film directors will not be overly narcissistic, and will never do something unrealistic in order to show their own ideas."

"Let's attract the audience to the theater first. The theaters are almost gone. What's the point of pursuing film art, art that no one appreciates?"

"The problem is that movies belong to the mass media. They are not for the minority. The cost is tens of millions, and the minority cannot afford it!"

We talked about business and art for a while, and then we talked about co-productions, mainly about the recovery of Hong Kong movies...

"I think there should be no problem. Let's just talk about action movies. The fights in early Hong Kong action movies were very fake. Later, Mr. Yuan Xiaotian was invited by Xue Juexian, a famous Cantonese opera actress, to be in charge of the northern martial arts scenes in Xue's performance. Two years Later, he set foot in the movies, mainly working as a martial arts and stand-in work... The martial arts scenes in Hong Kong action movies began to move towards moves and routines;
At that time, Hong Kong movies were dominated by Cantonese opera. Early operas and movies were not separated. Fighting was mostly in the style of Nanquan.

Until "The Drunk Man", Yuan Xiaotian's participation has injected a lot of fresh water into the film, and his movements can be regarded as a model of the fusion of northern and southern martial arts!

Later, Li Lianlian went south...

距离12月9号还有12天，2500万可以预见，没准能破3000万呢！

The two discussed "If there is love in the sky", including many works by To Qifeng, then Shen Xudong said: "I used to watch Hong Kong crime movies, and I always felt that the gangsters were kind and righteous...Starting from "The True Colors of Heroes", I feel that all the protagonists are in the arena and can't help themselves... Later, I probably realized that these directors over-display the love and righteousness of the gangsters, and don't mention their crimes! Often they will create a more hateful villain, So that the protagonist can empathize with the audience..."

Chen Musheng became interested: "Really?"

The three major producers of "If There Is Love": To Qifeng, Lin Lingdong, Liu Shiyu...

The plot actually seen: Gu Tianle led the protagonist group to beat up the human ghosts, and then dealt with the alien creatures...

Shen Xudong shook his head: "The times have changed, we can't always shoot like this, it's too romantic... I think that when shooting gangsters, we should shoot their true sides..."

Moreover, mainland filmmakers have also never thought of contributing to Hong Kong films, and they regard acting in Hong Kong films as a springboard!
Including Shen Xudong himself...

Shen Xudong still has a good impression of Gu Tianle, there is no way, the filter bonuses of the two works "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Looking for Qin" are too powerful!

"Hehe...Du Sir is my benefactor, you...you should know..."

Even the suicide propaganda of "War of Tomorrow"...

Yes, the premise is that Hong Kong filmmakers maintain the mentality of the past, but this possibility does not exist!

Except for "Hedong Lion's Roar" and "Hundred Years of Love", the others are all around one million...

After all, Gu Tianle was actually a bit socially afraid. He sat next to Shen Xudong, smiling awkwardly and politely, and Shen Xudong also smiled. The two did not communicate...

Shen Xudong told a story about a gangster, a director and a gangster.

"Keep Calling" was released in the mainland, and the box office performance was not bad.

"You promised to write a script for Director Johnnie To?"

But it's impossible for him to say what he really thinks, after all, this is the promotion of "Keep Calling"!
……

Didn't expect to break the record this time?

As long as Hong Kong filmmakers maintain a compatible mentality..."

The three of them are also Wang Tianlin's apprentices...

It doesn't matter, I didn't watch it anyway!
It's funny when you think about it: Gu Tianlei was crying...

Of course, Shen Xudong knew that when Wang Tianlin was about to retire, several apprentices planned to shoot a movie for Wang Tianlin.

Propaganda in the Mainland mainly relies on Chen Hao...

"Golden Branch Desire" is currently on the air!

In fact, the media publicity drafts basically revolved around Chen Hao's "Chen Hao's co-produced film debut, acting online", ""Keep the Call", Chen Hao debuted as a single mother", ""Keep the Call" box office exceeded expectations, Chen Hao Awarded Box Office Elixir'…

"The real gangster: intrigues, only eternal interests, is the place where the darkest human nature is displayed, there is no lower limit, and you will never give up until you reach your goal; the final outcome of being a gangster: ruin your reputation, you will die badly, and your family will never have peace."

I don't know what to say.

What do you think of "Tomorrow's War": Gu Tianlei leads the protagonist group to beat alien creatures;

"...Du Sir is filming "The Underworld". When "The Underworld" ends, let me mention it for you."

Praises also revolve around Chen Hao, for example, "Hu Jun praises Chen Hao for acting desperately", "Shen Xudong" "Keep Talking" was written for Chen Hao! ''

Of course, it also exceeded Orange Sky's expectations...

Originally, Orange Sky invested in "Keep Talking". On the one hand, it cooperated with Emperor to realize Chen Hao's movie dream;

In the past 10 years, 10 out of 7 movies he has starred in are really bad movies, all kinds of blood loss, have you ever seen him worry?

After all, Gu Tianle's box office appeal in the mainland is just that...

In this way, he became the director of the movie "If there is love in the sky"!

Shen Xudong didn't even have the idea of ​​making friends - he wasn't a fan of Mihua, he didn't have the money to invest in Gu Tianle's bad movies!
Mainly chat with Chen Musheng.

……

"Is there a problem?"

Therefore, the influence of phenomenal TV dramas is really powerful for actors!
By the way, Shen Xudong, Gu Tianle and Chen Musheng went back to the mainland to promote the movie.

It's really suicidal, it doesn't matter if it's miserable, it's already a regular publicity item, but selling miserable plus moral kidnapping marketing and offensive marketing - "Tomorrow's War" box office is less than 40 billion, each in China Everyone is responsible!
That's suicide!

The so-called giving to Wang Tianlin means that all the money earned from the movie will be given to Wang Tianlin.

They are all unique characters.

Released on the 27th, it raked in 1400 million in the first weekend...

Shen Xudong didn't ask Chen Musheng how he knew that Chen Musheng was brought out by Du Qifeng...

Chen Musheng was Johnnie To's assistant director at that time. That day, he took Johnnie To and Shisheng Ruan to watch a motorcycle race, and by the way boasted about the heroic past when he was riding a motorcycle when he was young. Unexpectedly, Qifeng Du gave Wang Tianlin the task of retiring with a slap on his thigh. …

Can I get my money back?

"...Three months have passed, and Director Du has never approached me... I guess this matter has gone to waste!"

"...Let's talk about it when the time comes. Director Du has no shortage of screenwriters... Galaxy Impression has a group of great talents."

By the way, I also praised Hu Jun and Shen Xudong...

This result has exceeded the expectations of the Emperor!

"This is called "Cruel Street"..."

Chen Musheng was silent for a while after listening, and then asked: "Why is there a director?"

"It's a satirical gangster movie...the essence of gangsters..."

"...It's still too abrupt!"
