Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 133 133. Police Story
News that the official Ministry of Culture was preparing to take the lead in filming the main theme spread quickly, but this kind of thing is nothing new to netizens.

After all, several main themes are filmed every year, and everyone is not surprised.

Compared with the main theme movie, what everyone is paying attention to now is the release of "District [-]". This movie that made a shocking debut in Hollywood has finally been released in Xiaguo.

Sure enough, it caused a sensation as soon as it was released, and it was hard to get a ticket. It crushed all the movies released in this period, and it was no surprise that it became the single-day and single-week box office champion.

The ups and downs of the plot and the thought-provoking connotation also conquered Xia Guo's netizens, and now almost everyone is discussing the plot of the movie.

As for the main theme movie, there is no comparison with it.

It wasn't until some netizens came forward and revealed that this time the main theme movie would be directed by Chen Li, everyone turned around in shock.

"What!? Am I dazzled? Chen Li wants to make a main theme movie? Are you kidding me?!"

"It's impossible, it must be a rumor. Chen Li has just returned from abroad. How could it be arranged so quickly? Is it still the main theme?"

"I don't believe it either. This kind of movie has always been disliked by young people. It's too rigid. It's impossible for Chen Li to accept it. Spreading rumors is just spreading rumors!"

"Well, it's really not a rumor. Director Chen Li and director Su Jinwen from Hong Kong Island are each filming one. The news is absolutely accurate."

"The key point is that the main theme movies are not interesting. I have become tired of watching them after so many years. They just follow the same routines and are boring."

"If Chen Li is making a main theme movie, then I will be disappointed. He can obviously make better ones. I am speechless!"

"Chen Li, I advise you not to act recklessly, otherwise even we will not support it! We will not be blamed for the box office failure when the time comes."

"."

The response on the Internet was huge. Most netizens were in disbelief and could not understand why Chen Li would do this.

According to normal logic, he is popular abroad. After reaching the stars, he should take advantage of the popularity to make more blockbusters when he returns to China. Plus, the Spring Festival will be released soon.

What a great opportunity.

And he actually went to make a main theme movie? ? ?
Some senior fans even believed that Chen Li must have been assigned a task by his superiors that he could not refuse.

Director Su Jinwen also had the same experience, which was also incomprehensible to netizens.

Other directors in the circle were somewhat gloating about the misfortune.

"These two unlucky guys have never been beaten by the market before they dare to be so careless."

"Yes, I heard from the people who went there that they took it on their own initiative. Do you think this is stupid?"

"I don't understand, but that's okay. Originally, I was worried that when Chen Li came back, the Spring Festival box office war would be fierce, but now I'm finally relieved, hahahaha."

"I think so too! Haha"

While the outside world was talking about it, Chen Li was sitting at his desk thinking about the script.

There are actually many police-related topics. From ordinary police officers, to criminal police, to behind-the-scenes forensics, and even front-line anti-drug police, they are all very good entry points and easy to photograph.

The first thing Chen Li thought of was "Infernal Affairs".

This is a masterpiece of Hong Kong police and gangster movies in the previous life. It is obviously a story about catching undercover agents and traitors, but the plot is delicate and twists, and the battle between good and evil is achieved to the extreme.

At that time, even Hollywood couldn't help but buy the rights to remake it. In the end, it won several Oscars that year. It can be imagined that the quality of this movie is absolutely excellent.

But what Chen Li struggled with was that this was a top-notch drama, but not an orthodox main theme movie.

To be precise, it was not enough, so Chen Li could only pass it with regret.

After much thought, Chen Li decided to make another movie.

"Police Story" is also a landmark action movie, a textbook-level action movie. It is also so good that even Hollywood can't help but copy it, but it is always forgotten because of the passage of time.

Recalling the passionate scenes in this movie, Chen Li felt a little excited.

So I turned on my computer and started coding like crazy.

By the second day.

Chen Li has basically completed the script and storyboards, and the next step is to find actors.

This time he was calmer, there was absolutely no way he could do it!

The action scenes in this movie are too big and thrilling. Although he is a time traveler, his body has not been strengthened. It would be embarrassing if he accidentally collapsed.

So the protagonist must find a substitute. Oh no, it would be more suitable for someone with action skills to participate.

Chen Li thought for a while. Although the mainland was very good at martial arts, when it came to the design and performance of stunts and martial arts, it was up to Hong Kong Island. After all, they had rich experience.

Chen Li, who was from Hong Kong, only knew Su Jinwen, so he called Su Jinwen.

"Director Su, I need your help first?"

Su Jinwen was having a headache about writing the script. Hearing this, he thought Chen Li was the same, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, Director Chen? I will definitely help anyone who can."

"You are familiar with Hong Kong Island. Can you recommend some excellent action actors to me?"

Action actor?Could it be that Chen Li wants to make an action movie?

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's easy to say. Although the action movies in Hong Kong Island are desolate, there are still many action actors, and there are no filming recently. I will give you a few candidates. See if you can use them. superior?"

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinwen sent several people's information and resumes.

Chen Li also searched online for movie clips that these people had participated in.

It has to be said that Hong Kong filmmakers work hard. These action actors are basically supporting roles, but their basic skills are good. They dare to fight and fight. They are the people Chen Li needs, but they just look a bit evil!
I feel like a bad professional! ?

After flipping through several movies in a row, Chen Li finally felt the taste after seeing one of the movies called Zhou Cheng.

Like a decent person.

But the specific situation will have to be auditioned on site.

In addition, this movie also has two female protagonists. In addition to Ami played by Liu Wanxin, an actress is also needed to play the villain secretary Salina.

So Chen Li asked his assistant Song Yu to call these people and arrange for them to come over. At the same time, Wang Anrou was asked to look for the role of the second female lead.

Then, there was a lot of buzz in the industry that Chen Lixin needed actresses for his new movie.

The next day, Wang Anrou's mailbox exploded.

Although Chen Li was making a main theme movie and everyone was not optimistic about it, they didn't mind wasting the opportunity of a movie to build a good relationship with Chen Li. Even for those young actors, the main theme movie was a good choice.

"What should I do, Director Chen? There are so many people coming to audition, and many of them are first- and second-tier actors in the industry." Wang Anrou was a bit confused when she looked at the resumes that filled her mailbox.

"It doesn't matter. We will arrange for auditions for all those who meet the appearance requirements." Chen Li shrugged.

Wang Anrou almost fainted: "Brother, even if there are so many people screened, I don't know how long the interview will last."

Chen Li chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I have a way to get rid of everyone quickly."

Seeing Chen Li's smile, Wang Anrou shuddered. He always felt that his director was going to do something bad again.
