Entertainment since 1999

From the 70s to the 80s, Xiangjiang Film was the most prosperous era, and the film center of the entire Southeast Asia radiated to Europe and the United States.

In the mid-to-late 90s, under the influence of the Asian financial turmoil, Hong Kong films fell into a trough, and Hong Kong filmmakers were struggling.

How difficult is it.

Actors set up street stalls, directors drive taxis...

The Xiangjiang film circle was littered with corpses, and a large number of practitioners were lost, only a few worked hard to maintain it.

In 2003, CEPA was signed, and the "economic and trade" relationship between the mainland and Xiangjiang became closer, and the mighty "ten years" of Xiangjiang films to the north kicked off.

honestly.

In the most difficult time, I helped you, don't say gratitude, equal respect is very simple.

Xiangjiang filmmakers are not!
Being domineering, his own "Wang Jing" couldn't stand it anymore, and openly stated: "The fundamental problem of Xiangjiang Film's plight is that it looks down on mainland actors, so that it loses the greatest opportunity."

The crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Xiangjiang filmmakers, can be said to be half of the country.

Honestly.

Han Qiao was very worried about Yu Jiaan and Lei Chuxiong's "showing off", so he took Cheng Xiaodong to accompany him.

result.

Who said Xiangjiang filmmakers are arrogant.

in fact.

They are still very humble!
"Director Han, I heard that you are the most outstanding young director in the mainland, but I have no chance to meet you."

"See you today."

In the private room, there was an interlacing of toasts and cups, and the atmosphere was eager.

Several of them were old men, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Lei Chuxiong held the wine glasses in both hands, and said loudly, "Your reputation is well-deserved, your reputation is well-deserved."

"Hahaha."

Speak well.

Feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, Han Qiao held shredded radish in his chopsticks, suppressed his alcohol, and said, "Brother Lei, your "Green Snake" is a classic."

Apart from "Green Snake", Lei Chuxiong's works also include "Black Man", "Thousands of Changes"...

Yu Jiaan won the Golden Statue Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Art Design...

Lei Chuxiong, Yu Jiaan, and Cheng Xiaodong are all authorities in their respective fields and the backbone of Xiangjiang Films.

Lei Chuxiong put down his glass.

He didn't know Han Qiao's style, and he was afraid of digging a hole for himself, so he waved his hands, hiding his clumsiness, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

"Old Lei, be humble." Cheng Xiaodong pretended to be warm, hooked his shoulders and put his arms around Yu Jia'an: "Old Yu, why don't you talk?"

"Brother Yu, are the food and drink inappropriate?" Han Qiao asked.

"No no."

Yu Jia'an was thin, with black-framed glasses, and he was meticulous. Holding a wine glass, he smiled subtly: "It's very suitable."

look...

What a filmmaker!
Han Qiao held the wine glass, the corporal did his best, and said sincerely: "Brother Lei, Brother Yu, Brother Cheng..."

"Xiu Chun Dao is going to compete with Brother Chen Kai's Wu Ji."

"Brother Chen Kai's reputation is known to everyone in Chinese-language movies..."

"That's this..." Han Qiao shrugged his shoulders with a thumbs up: "The newspapers say I'm crazy, dare to confront Brother Chen Kai head-on, that's not the old birthday star hanging himself, looking for a dead end."

"I'm actually not sure."

The three smiled wryly.

indeed so.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise" cost 3.2 million yuan, and it is one of the best Chinese-language movies.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" and "The Promise" meet, the odds of winning are very low.

Looking at the faces of the two, Han Qiao knew that these two brothers came to "golden".

Xiangjiang filmmakers go north, not only directors, but also tens of thousands of film practitioners.

Han Qiao is one of the few leading guides in the mainland.

His movie, the two names are listed, the mainland film industry, they are "high-quality" personnel.

Only good, no bad.

"but."

Han Qiao solemnly held his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "Xiu Chun Knife has three authorities joining, which undoubtedly gave me great confidence."

The three looked happy.

No matter what, Han Qiao's face is in place.

Han Qiao praised him a bit, the three of them were willing to come, and the lure was in place, holding the wine glass, he said with a smile: "Brother Chen Kai, if Wuji loses, it will look good."

"The three of you please help me."

"Director Han is too polite." Holding the wine glass, Lei Chuxiong promised: "I will do my best in the matters of my duty."

Cheng Xiaodong and Han Qiao had a good relationship, and they were old friends, so they had no choice but to talk loudly, "Down with Brother Chen Kai."

Several people looked at Yu Jiaan.

Yu Jiaan's expression was stiff, Han Qiao's style was amazing, and he was on the scene of a pyramid scheme.

Heartbroken, he roared, "Fuck Brother Chen Kai."

"Dry!"

The cups collided, the wine was shaken, and the wheels of the chariot of "Xiu Chun Dao" were in place.

With the wheels, Han Qiao was busy assembling the "stab".

Daxing Huangcun.

At this time, Huangcun was a rural area. In August, the air was sultry and hot. Cicadas were climbing on trees, screaming desperately.

A few brats were fucking with bamboo poles and poking Cicada's ass.

South Shaolin Martial Arts School.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" rented a martial arts training room and a dormitory.

In the morning, it was very hot.

The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" is said to be a martial arts movie, but in fact, it is an action movie.

Its story background, replaced by Xiangjiang in the 80s, does not violate harmony at all.

Three brothers from gangsters fought in the rivers and lakes, their families were ruined, a prostitute living in the red-light district, the new gangster boss was bloody and came to power, and the old double-flower red stick was lonely.

Action movie.

The biggest attraction is fighting, the adrenaline soars crazily, iron objects collide with iron objects, and sparks fly.

The martial arts action design of "Xiu Chun Knife" is almost entirely based on the theory of "fighting and killing".

"Old Han..." Cheng Xiaodong spread out the paper, there was a villain on it, and smiled wryly: "It's a real sword, the risk factor is too high."

"Xiangjiang is eliminated."

What year is it, whoever is filming is risking his life.

Han Qiao's previous premise, Cheng Xiaodong thought it was Han Qiao's whim.

did not expect.

This lunatic was still thinking about "real swords and guns".

Han Qiao insisted: "Old Cheng, I understand your worries, but this movie, I am going to create a new genre for Huaxia Movies."

Currently.

Huaxia's martial arts movies are almost all "special effects" style, with fancy actions and flashy, and the actors are not ordinary people.

They are all "Superman".

Flying around, even more excessive, the sword was broken by internal strength, and the goddess scattered flowers.

Ancient "martial arts" have such magic?

"Embroidered Spring Knife" is groundbreaking. It breaks away from the category of "martial arts" in martial arts movies. The focus of the story is not fighting in the rivers and lakes.

Instead.

A clash of personal destinies and the tragedy of the times.

"Old Cheng." Han Qiao put down the secret book in his hand. The secret book is "Xinyou Sword Classic" compiled by Qi Jiguang: "Real swords and guns are dangerous, but as long as we pay attention, the danger can be completely avoided."

"You're the director, I'm up to you." Cheng Xiaodong didn't insist, and when he was filming "House of Flying Daggers", he was almost shot to death by Han Qiao. He shrugged and said, "I have no problem, as long as the actors are willing."

The action design of real swords and guns must not be compared with props.

"Okay." Han Qiao thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss it with the actors."

………………

Real swords and real guns are too dangerous.

It was originally a martial arts scene, if you were a little careless, if you cut your neck with a knife, or if you used too much force, you might burp your fart.

Just filming.

It's serious to play your life.

The actors currently participating in the training of Xiuchundao include: Hu Jun, Zhang Jing, Chen Kun, Deng Chao...

Han Qiao originally thought that he would spend all his time trying to persuade several people to agree.

did not expect.

Hu Jun is carrying a throwing knife. In the movie, his weapon is open and close for killing.

Great summer.

His white undershirt was soaked, and he was silent when he saw other people hesitate.

After thinking about it, he was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "Old Han, I think your proposal is fine. Since it is a martial arts movie, the real sword is of course the best."

After a pause, he looked at a few people who hesitated, and said relaxedly: "I believe the crew will guarantee our personal safety."

"I'm fine." Zhang Jing was the second to express his opinion. In the movie, he played Shen Lian.

He and Han Qiao are fellow villagers, both from Chongqing. They came from the martial arts team. After retiring, they mixed with Yuan Heping.

These few years.

There are a lot of works, but they are not lukewarm, and Zhou Yi pays more attention to the aftermath, and other actors can only eat bran and swallow vegetables.

this time.

He was able to play the leading role in Han Qiao's new movie, which can be called shit luck, and he might soar into the sky.

Risks and benefits coexist, he held the Xiuchun knife and said firmly: "Brother Han, I believe in you."

"I agree too." Deng Chao hesitated. Seeing that the two agreed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Han, I will risk my life to mess with you for this movie."

Deng Chao is different from others.

He is a niche line, with a wide range of acting skills, besides, he is a male artist highly praised by Times Starry Sky.

These few years.

It's booming, and now it's a second-tier actor. In the whole mainland, the new generation of actors, he and Huang Xiaoming are the most outstanding.

He didn't need to take any chances.

He was more active in his mind, with serious eyes, and said firmly: "I believe in Brother Han, and believe in this movie, it will definitely become a miracle."

Several people expressed their views.

"Me too."

Chen Kun is sweating profusely. In this drama, his weapon is a sword. Among several actors, his foundation is the worst, that is to say, his risk factor is the highest.

He and Han Qiao have a very good relationship. The two have been close friends for several years. They joked: "Old Han, my son is your son after I die."

"Don't try to run away, your daughter."

"Thank you..." Han Qiao looked at the young people and told the truth.He was deeply moved.

Of these few, only Zhang Jing was close to being mixed, and the others were the backbone of male stars in the mainland entertainment industry.

Each has a bright future.

and.

Ken risked his life to make a movie, the whole Chinese movie.

Only Chenglong.

The reason why there is only Chenglong is very simple. The others are either belching or disabled.

They just say no, and no one will hold them accountable.

"The crew will do their best to ensure your safety." Han Qiao said in a deep voice, "Relevant insurance arrangements will also be in place."

talking.

Han Qiao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "In this case, why don't we sign a life-and-death certificate."

The most important thing in movie promotion is gimmicks.

"Life and Death" was put out, and all the staff of "Embroidered Spring Knife" were the main creators, with real swords and guns, and they took their lives to make a movie.

What a publicity stunt.

Also.

Chen Kai's "The Promise" is coming in such a menacing way that it's hard to guarantee that the crew will not be overwhelmed.

The life and death certificates were all signed.

Whoever dares to take a step back will be dealt with by military law.

In a few minutes.

The staff moved over to the table, spread out the white gauze, and there was a big bucket of cinnabar, dripping with blood.

Several leading actors looked at each other, all trembling in their hearts, agreeing means agreeing, being afraid means being afraid, there is no conflict.

Hu Jun carried the knife and jokingly said, "Old Han, you have already prepared your feelings."

"I think we disagree, it's hard to get out of the martial arts school."

"Everyone." Han Qiao didn't joke, and said in a deep voice, "It's too late to regret it now."

"I was going to shoot this Xiuchun Dao as a classic. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to Brother Chen Kai's "The Promise."

Han Qiao looked at the actors and said in a deep voice, "My goal, 20 years from now, this movie will be a milestone in Chinese-language movies."

"I'll come first."

Han Qiao just wants to exaggerate the tragedy, there is no way, in the movie "Xiu Chun Knife", the whole style of painting is depressing and tragic.

The film does not mean that the official shooting will start.

An excellent director, from the moment of film training, has purposefully implanted the concept of film to help actors adjust their status.

Stretching his hand into the cinnabar bucket, the whole hand was instantly bloody, and the scarlet cinnabar dripped down. Han Qiao pressed his name on the white gauze.

Ding Xiu, who he plays, is also dangerous.

"I'll be second." Hu Jun said, and stepped forward. He was born in a military family, and he was loyal. Han Qiao had helped him.

"Brother Jun, you have to think carefully." Han Qiao held it down, and said seriously: "Your martial arts foundation is weak, and the martial arts style of Tianlong Babu is completely different from Xiuchun Dao."

"It's okay." Hu Jun didn't take it seriously, wrote down his name, and said seriously: "Old Han, if I agreed just now, it was because of our affection."

"Then now."

Hu Jun said loudly: "I want to do something real. You said you want to make this movie a classic. You have such an attitude."

"I believe you."

There are very few classic movies, and almost all movie actors who have a little pursuit want to make a name for themselves in the film industry.

but.

It's hard to become a classic.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" has this possibility, because its film style is very different, it is different from any kind of Chinese film now, similar to "Hurricane Rescue", the editing and photography are "short, flat and fast", and the aesthetics of violence is the main element .

With the knife in hand, the murderer is invisible.

Hu Jun made a statement.

The others looked at each other without looking back, leaving their own blood-red names on the white gauze.

In the martial arts training room, the atmosphere was dull.

The staff didn't dare to breathe loudly. What the hell, not to mention making a movie, they thought they were going to carry explosives to blow up a bunker.

Both heroic and serious.

Two staff members unfolded the blood-red gauze. Under the sun, on the white gauze, there were a few bloody characters. The cinnabar hadn't dried yet, and blood dripped down.

At this time, Han Qiao did not forget to encourage the crew: "Xiu Chun Dao is not just a movie, it is our career, and it is a new milestone for Chinese-language movies."

In the dreary martial arts room, the staff's mind was fluttering, and their emotions reached this point, and they shouted: "We must win."

He finished roaring in one voice.

Needle dropping could be heard in the martial arts room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, with the staff looking at their toes.

At this time.

Han Qiao shouted: "We must win."

The director yelled, and the others ignored the shame and said loudly: "We must win."

This is how chicken blood is beaten.

Han Qiao's blood was surging, and he forcibly acted out the passion of a real estate sales manager in his previous life.

of course.

It is said that it is a real knife and a real gun, but it cannot be really a real knife and a real gun!
The reason why Han Qiao made such a film was entirely to promote the movie.

and so.

When seeing the new props, the leading actors looked subtle, what the hell.

In addition to being a little heavier, it has nothing to do with real swords and guns.

The knife is a real knife, not sharpened.

Han Qiao pulled out a 1-meter Dazhan Saber with a slender blade and a three-foot handle. It was said to be a knife, but it could also be used as a gun.

in the sun.

Forged from refined iron, it shines coldly.

danced a bit.

very satisfied.

The weight is about 30 kilograms, one hand is a bit heavy, but the hands are just right. Looking at the leading actors with delicate expressions, he smiled and said, "The training must be fake guys, so it's not necessarily the case for filming."

"Not necessarily?"

The few people were speechless for a moment, Han Qiao was too unscrupulous, after all this, the life and death certificates were signed, and they all wanted to take their lives.

result.

It's fake, it's all emotions, while disappointed, he was relieved.

did not expect.

Now it's possible to be the real guy.

shit.

The few complained about Han Qiao in their hearts, and without a word, they started to practice with their knives.

This is not to make a movie, this is to survive!
Han Qiao brandished his saber, vigorously: "If you don't sweat in training, you will bleed in actual combat."

Several people listened.

The swing of the knife became heavier.
