Chapter 402: Old Monster Xu
The second update is coming, and I am not surprised~
..........................................
Just like when talking about zombie movies, you will inevitably think of Uncle Nine for the first time, when it comes to Xiangjiang's martial arts movies, most people's first reaction is that the actor is Li Lianjie, and the director is Xu Laowei.
In the literary world, there is a saying of "new-school martial arts", and Jin Gu and Huangliang Wen all belong to the masters of the new school of martial arts.
And Xu Laowei's martial arts movies can be called the "new school of martial arts" in the film industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was his appearance that injected a breath of air into the Xiangjiang martial arts movie that was already declining and dying at that time, renewed his life, and pointed out a new direction.
Just like Xu Laowei himself said, in recent years, people's senses of the Xiangjiang Film Festival can be described as self-contained.
They lie on the pile of old papers of honor, turning a blind eye to their own decay, still believing that they are the best and most powerful in China, and because of this, they do not want to forge ahead, gnawing on their old books year after year.
And Xu Laowei, as a Xiangjiang filmmaker, is completely different from such a Xiangjiang Film Festival.
It can be said that looking at the entire Chinese film and television industry, Xu Laowei has always been one of the people at the forefront of innovation.
Whether it is from the subject matter of the movie, the selection of actors, or even the technical methods of film shooting, etc., Xu Laowei has been working hard to innovate and seek breakthroughs.
He is one of the first directors to use mainland actors in movies, and in his series of movies, you can always see mainland actors, generation after generation, and even many mainland actors have opened up their popularity in Xiangjiang because of their participation in his films, and have gradually been accepted by the Xiangjiang film and television circle.
He is also one of the first directors to seek cooperation with the mainland, and since the beginning of the 20000 years, he has begun to actively seek cooperation with the mainland, from investment to framing to actors to crew and other aspects, in the real sense, rather than the "cooperation" of some others in order to cope with the mainland's film policy.
From "Seven Swords" to "Deep Sea Search", to "Di Renjie Tongtian Empire", until the latest "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
What you're seeing in these films is more and more mainland content – framing, actors, etc., more and more innovative technologies and more and more ideas for new martial arts films that are different from traditional martial arts films.
It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, the most suitable Xiangjiang director for mainland actors to cooperate, Xu Laowei can be ranked in the top three.
Of course, the cooperation here is not suitable for anyone, after all, he is a famous director at home and abroad, and if you want to cooperate with him, you need at least a certain amount of capital, which is the foundation.
And Zhang Bufan is one of the people who have this kind of capital, so he has this trip to Xiangjiang.
............
The film quickly came to an end, and when the last of the movie credits reached the middle of the big screen, the lights in the theater came on again, and the audience stood up to give the film a round of applause.
The applause was warm and sincere, because this is indeed a wonderful, good-looking and original Xiangjiang movie, and even in the minds of some people present, the scene of reproducing the grand occasion of "Infernal Affairs" has appeared.
Zhang Bufan is of course also one of the people who gave a standing ovation, he had expected the success of "Cold War", otherwise he would not have worked so hard for so long to win the investment rights of this movie.
It's just that although the applause is warm, his eyes are far less fanatical than others, very calm, very calm.
On stage, Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing were beaming with joy, from the reversal of several premieres, they already knew that this movie would be successful, and they, would succeed.
There was also a small cocktail party after the premiere - this made Zhang Bufan a little surprised, after the premiere, the most important thing was for the crew to have a meal, and the small cocktail party was basically an awards ceremony.
It can also be seen from this that the film producer has a lot of confidence in this movie.
Of course, Zhang Bufan is not opposed to this, but it is exactly what he wants, and he can have more opportunities to contact Xu Laowei.
Soon after the reception began, Zhang Bufan and Huang Bo separated, he and Tong Liya were invited by Liang Leming to meet the investors and several protagonists of the film, and Huang Bo was also invited - Zhang Bufan watched him be led to Xu Laowei's stall.
In fact, Zhang Bufan is not very interested here, at least far less than Xu Laowei's side, but after Liang Leming's introduction, he suddenly had a little interest, which came from Yindu Organization Co., Ltd., one of the main investors of the film.
This company was founded 50 years ago, it can be said that it has a long history, and everyone may be relatively unfamiliar with it, but if you talk about the movies produced by this company, everyone will be familiar with it, just to mention a few.
"Shaolin Temple".
"Heroes".
"Boundless".
"Lust and Caution".
That's right, in these movies co-produced with the mainland, Xiangjiang, Taiwan Island, and even European and American countries, there are some companies from Yindu Organization, and they play a pivotal role in them.
It was not until this time that Zhang Bufan understood that "Cold War" was still stained with the breath of the mainland, and it was no wonder that its release in the mainland could be so smooth sailing.
Of course, he is interested in others, but people may not be interested in him, the representative of Yindu Organization Co., Ltd. and the representatives of several other companies just nodded and said hello and left in a hurry after Liang Leming brought Zhang Bufan over, on the contrary, their eyes stayed on Tong Liya's body for a longer time than on Zhang Bufan.
After they left, there were only two directors and several main actors left on the scene, Guo Tianwang was not here, and the leader was Liang Qianmian.
Zhang Bufan has great respect for this actor who plays what is what, he is also a person who has acted, and has been "put on the body" by the role for a short period of time, far more than ordinary actors understand how difficult it is to enter a role, especially how difficult it is to really enter a role, and how uncomfortable it is to get out of it.
However, Liang Qianmian has his unique ability in this regard, it seems that he can completely go deep into the role of every role he plays and become that role, but when the movie is finished, he can easily get out of it, just like he is a completely different person from him in the shooting.
This alone is worthy of the admiration of all actors.
Liang Qianmian is a very gentle person, and he does not have any arrogance because he is an actor and a big star, which is related to his early experience and his character.
Seeing Liang Leming walking over with Zhang Bufan and Tong Liya, he was the most enthusiastic to greet him, shook hands with Zhang Bufan and Tong Liya successively, and then took the initiative to speak, "I want to thank you, Mr. Zhang Bufan, just like Le Ming said, if it weren't for your help, maybe there would be no birth of this good movie, and I didn't have the opportunity to play such a good role, if I miss this role, I will be very disappointed." ”
"You are too awarded, if it weren't for the scripts written by the two directors, it wouldn't have moved me, so the root is still here with the two directors. Zhang Bufan hurriedly responded modestly.
With Liang Qianmian's "guidance", Zhang Bufan and Tong Liya quickly mixed up with these Xiangjiang actors, although it was tiring to listen to their Mandarin communication, but in the end they still got a good result for the guests and hosts.
After chatting for a while, several actors also had their own entertainment, and Liang Leming also saw that Zhang Bufan was not here, so everyone finally disbanded after exchanging communication methods.
Zhang Bufan took Tong Liya to the dining area and took some small snacks at random.
"I'm still not used to it, I don't talk about anything else, I'm tired just listening to them talk, not only can't speak Mandarin clearly, but mainly because I feel like everyone is holding it, especially the representatives of the investment companies in front of me, as if they have money. Tong Liya complained quietly as she moved her feet.
She wore a white elegant dress today, and she didn't snatch the colors of the leading actors, but she didn't lose her style, but because she didn't expect that there would be a drinking party behind her, she wore a pair of stiletto heels, and she was already a little tired when she stood down at this time.
Zhang Bufan looked around and pulled Tong Liya to the side, there was a chair in that corner for guests to sit and rest, but at such a cocktail party, basically everyone was communicating, and no one would really sit here and waste time.
Zhang Bufan waited for Tong Liya to sit down, squatted down in front of her, and regardless of whether there would be any eyes around him, he reached out and took off his high heels, wrapped his small feet and pressed them gently, while moving his ankles alternately.
Zhang Bufan asked himself if he had a foot fetish, but every time he saw this pair of little feet, he was still a little apperetal, and his feet were very beautiful, especially under the soft and silky stockings, which were illuminated by the lights of the banquet hall, exuding a charming brilliance.
Tong Liya didn't stop him, but after all, she was still a little shy, while watching her husband massage her feet and relax her feet, she carefully peeked around, for fear of being seen and causing jokes.
"Xiangjiang people are like this, if you don't like it, you will have less contact, anyway, there will not be many opportunities to contact them in the future, and our target this time is not such a person, don't worry. Zhang Bufan said with a smile.
"It's still my husband who knows that he feels sorry for people, and he will reward you when he goes back. Tong Liya smiled happily.
"What kind of reward?" Zhang Bufan responded with a wicked smile.
In the corner of this busy ballroom where everyone is busy socializing, the husband and wife live a quiet time for both of them.
............
After pressing the left foot and the right foot, just a few times, Tong Liya suddenly raised her hand and patted Zhang Bufan on the shoulder, "Brother Bo is here." ”
Zhang Bufan stopped, put the high heels back on, put his hand under his nose and sniffed it, and said "It's really fragrant", then he stood up in Tong Liya's white eyes, turned around, and saw that Huang Bo had already walked over.
"Okay, I've said all the good things for you over there, but you're here and I'm here?" Huang Bo smiled angrily.
"Okay, my daughter-in-law is thin-skinned and can't listen to this. Zhang Bufan simply dumped Tong Liya, and then quickly changed the topic, "How are you over there?"
"It's a good chat, but it's a pity that the schedule can't be scheduled. Huang Bo shook his head.
"Well, it's up to me. Zhang Bufan smiled, his eyes moved, and he met the eyes of Xu Laowei, who was walking over here with his wife.
The two looked at each other.
Smile slightly.
