Chapter 146: Dragon Gate's Perfect Match

The day after the end of the Academy Awards, many newspapers and magazines, and even some official media, had different views on the first Xiangjiang Film Awards.

"This is a very successful film festival, and the awards are well deserved, very fair and just!"

"Last night's awards ceremony, the stars were shining, what we saw was the beginning of the prosperity of Hong Kong films, and we hope that more good movies will come out in the future!"

"It can't be said that the Academy Awards are bad, it's just that it's too literary and artistic, and it's unimaginable that our highest-grossing film in Hong Kong, "God of Gamblers", failed to win the best film this time!

"I think the quality of a movie like "Pretty Girl" is really good, but wouldn't it be inappropriate to award the title of Best Actress to a newcomer who has just debuted. "Ming Pao".

It is unimaginable that Hui Ziming, as one of the organizers of the first Academy Awards, contributed the most to the holding of the Academy Awards, and it is unbelievable that none of his many films that broke the Hong Kong box office record won the Best Film Award. This may be a reflection of the fairness of the Academy Awards, or it may be that Xu Ziming lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot...... "The famous female author and critic Yishu hit the nail on the head.

“......”

After the Hong Kong media discussed the results of the Hong Kong Film Awards, many media in Taiwan and the mainland also reported on the success of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wang Jin bought a report about yesterday's Academy Awards and walked into Xu Ziming's office with a displeased face. Why is it displeased, of course, the directorship title of "God of Gamblers" has not been able to beat "Father and Son".

"Amin, how is Ben's special film, is our company going to shoot a new style of film? "Wang Jin forgot to ask about it yesterday, so he wanted to ask today.

Xu Ziming was reading the financial statement of the entire group at this time, how could his group be irresponsible, he put down the financial table and said: "Well, we have reached a cooperative relationship with Tsuburaya Company, but our company's current focus is still on the Hong Kong film industry." ”

Wang Jin realized a little and asked: "The box office statistics of the "Happy Ghost" series of Xinyicheng have exceeded 13 million yesterday, and their attendance rate has begun to decline, so "The True Color of Heroes" can be combined with Shaw Brothers' theaters tomorrow to be screened across the board. ”

Xu Ziming got up directly from his seat, walked to Wang Jin's side, slapped Wang Jin's shoulder with his right hand, and said seriously but very casually: "I said that the right to operate and coordinate Mingjia Film Company is in your hands, except for my special request, you can decide the rest." But I need to emphasize one thing here. ”

Wang Jin was very moved, leaned back slightly, and said with a red face: "I'll listen, you say." ”

"My film company is not allowed to shoot Fengyue films. There was a sharpness in his words, not ordinary colloquialism.

"Why

Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, they all shoot, why don't we make it, that kind of small-budget movie is easier to make money. I'm still thinking about the future..."Wang Jin had already had this plan in the depths of his thoughts, but he didn't expect to be beaten down by Xu Ziming at the moment.

Xu Ziming shook his hand heavily, returned to his seat, and replied to Wang Jin with a simple sentence, "There is no reason." ”

The Hong Kong Film Classification System is a film classification system in Hong Kong, which was enacted on 10 November 1988 in accordance with the Film Censorship Ordinance (Cap. 392).

Since 1995, due to the amendment of the Film Censorship Ordinance, Class II has been further subdivided into two classes, II.a and II.B, so some people will refer to this film classification system as the three-tier system for Hong Kong films.

Under the laws of Hong Kong, films intended for release or distribution on videotapes or DVDs in Hong Kong are required to be submitted to and approved by the Hong Kong Film, Television and Entertainment Administration for grading.

Although it is said that in Hong Kong now, Fengyue films have not yet been classified, but Xu Ziming is absolutely from the bottom of his heart, and the director of the film company he is not allowed to open is a salty wet man, and he is not allowed to shoot Fengyue films to discredit the company.

The phone at the front desk suddenly called Xu Ziming's office, and the buzzing phone rang in the office, interrupting the conversation between the two.

With a phone call, Xu Ziming's attention shifted from Wang Jinshang to the person who answered the phone, and the person who came was Xu Ke, sure enough, it was Xu Ke, this old acquaintance, this person with a strange spleen.

Xu Ke wore a somewhat outdated heavy jacket and came alone, without anyone accompanying him.

Xuegang sat down, the eyes of the three of them unconsciously converged, Xu Ke paused for more than ten seconds, and finally couldn't help but say bluntly: "Mr. Xu, I am already preparing to leave Xinyi City, and I want to ask you to help me set up a studio." ”

Xu Ziming was pouring tea into the cup, and when he heard this, his hand paused, Xu Ke was leaving Xinyi City, why did he not hear Huang Baiming talk about this matter before, this sudden sentence made Xu Ziming both excited and panicked in his heart.

In the original time and space, Xu Ke had to wait until a few years later to leave the New Art City, and now he suddenly chose to leave the New Art City, one of which is that Xu Ziming said to Huang Baiming to invite Xu Ke, and the other is that the relationship between him and Lin Jianming, the shareholder of the New Art City, is very stiff, almost to the point of incompatibility.

Leaving Xinyi City is already the path he must choose.

Everyone who comes is a guest, Xu Ziming has always respected Xu Ke very much, and he also appreciates Xu Ke's martial arts films more, he came to find himself What else to say, "No problem." ”

can get Xu Ziming's reply, Xu Ke also knows that Xu Ziming is casual and very good at talking. At the moment, he was not afraid to say a few more words, "Mr. Xu, I am going to make a martial arts film recently, and I need a lot of money to shoot, so I hope that Mr. Xu can help me financially." ”

Xu Zi

Ming looked at Xu Ke with a puzzled face, thinking to himself if Xu Ke had filmed any martial arts films in 82 years, thinking about it carefully, Xu Ziming didn't smirk, history has changed so much, how little has this changed.

Xu Ziming's appearance changes were fully seen by Xu Ke, and he hurriedly and urgently said: ""New Shu Mountain Swordsman". ”

"I guessed, but I think you should be filming Dragon Gate Flying Armor now. Xu Ziming coughed lightly.

Xu Ke was a little wooden, secretly muttering the word Longmen, his eyes had a sense of solemnity, and then he seemed to realize something, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately exclaimed, "It is related to "Dragon Gate Inn". ”

Xu Ziming chuckled: "It's related to "Dragon Gate Inn", the background of the story is somewhat related, but the actual drama has nothing to do with it." However, Mr. Xu can rest assured that it will be a wonderful martial arts film like "Dragon Gate Inn". ”

Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn" filmed in 1967 can be said to have laid the foundation for the richer and more humanized trend of martial arts films since then, and Hu Jinquan is the pioneer of strange martial arts.

The significance of this film lies in the fact that the martial arts film, which is not a popular film, has been completely pushed to the same status as literary films with exquisite production standards, and its modeling and scenery and other details fully show Hu Jinquan's deep understanding of Chinese classical culture and history, and it is believed that every small detail has been verified and can be consistent with history.

This is a film that occupies an important position in the history of Chinese martial arts films, and martial arts films can get rid of the shoddy situation for a long time before and become the same genre as samurai films and Westerns.

Xu Ziming knew that Xu Ke had filmed a "New Dragon Gate Inn" in 92, and he had modified Hu Jinquan's original work, but the content reached a particularly subtle point.

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is Xu Ke's second work based on "New Dragon Gate Inn" in later generations, which is a failed work, but it is also a successful work.

Xu Ziming guessed in his heart that if Xu Ke was allowed to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" first, then whether the "New Dragon Gate Inn" in the future would still exist, or whether "New Dragon Gate Flying Armor" would be remade in the future, these are very interesting, but they have a unique flavor.

But in the final analysis, it is indeed the role of Yuhuatian in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which makes Xu Ziming have this impulse, a kind of filmmaker who feels the 80s more than 20 years in advance, can shoot that style.

Originally, when it came to "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", Xu Ke was even ready to take out the script, he was afraid that Xu Ziming would forget the promise he had made to himself, and he was also very worried that Xu Ziming would not agree.

But Xu Ziming's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" gave him another idea in his heart, he had an inexplicable feeling about Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn", he had this feeling that he was planning to remake "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was related to it, for Xu Ke, it was not worth trying.

Xu Ke took back the script and looked at each other expectantly, "Mr. Xu."

, can you show me the script of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". ”

Xu Ziming shook his head and said, "I haven't written it yet, but the drama is all in my head." ”

Xu Ke immediately listened to his ears, Xu Ziming began to weave according to his own memory, and at the same time filtered some deficiencies in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to make up for the wonderful drama in "New Dragon Inn", Xu Ke felt really good when he heard it.

However, it is also difficult to decide on the special effects, actors, and filming locations involved.

However, Xu Ziming doesn't care about these, because as long as the funds are sufficient, these are not problems, and there is no doubt about mainland filming. Xu Ziming is most concerned about the background music of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" at the moment, the editing software of later generations is so popular, but Xu Ziming thinks that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is better with the song "Not a Hero".

As he spoke, Xu Ziming had a lot of thoughts, took the pen in his hand, and finished writing a four-minute lyric in a few minutes.

Using the popular ancient songs of the 21st century to adapt to the background music of martial arts films in the 80s is a bold attempt, which will not be liked by Hong Kong audiences who are not careful, and it will also have a great impact on the box office.

"Sing in Chinese, or Cantonese?" Xu Ke is now able to witness the lyrics written by Xu Ziming, but in less than a few minutes, the song is catchy to read, and the song that sings well is so good that it deserves to be the best screenwriter.

"Chinese is better to sing. Xu Ziming replied affirmatively, this song can only be sung in Chinese with such a taste, otherwise the taste has changed, and Xu Ziming does not need to arrange the filming of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" for Xu Ke in this way.

On the placket, don't say goodbye to the sunset, Sunset sent me to lead an old horse.

Passing by, the people in the smoke village are just like the flowers flying in their hometown.

Drunk in the wind, drank tea, and looked for a restaurant at the mouth of the ordinary alley.

Everyone here is an old friend, and the bottom of the bowl is the end of the world.

The end of the world is far away, everywhere is home, and Pengmen itself is like a vast building.

In terms of will, regardless of how much or too little, you dare to call yourself a chivalrous person when you account for three points.

The knife can be caught, the fist can also be played, and occasionally idle to ask for life and death.

didn't get the reputation of a hero, and weighed some old things to offset the price of wine.

Fold the flowers to the south of the river, and the wind and red wax.

Much is always like me, and the world is romantic.

The world is willing to meet, and confidants are fortunate to have seven or eight.

Invite me to shoot the altar, drunk with thousands of smoke.

Drink the horse to the north of the river, to the west wind and yellow sand.

Nothing is like me, slashing peach blossoms to the bottom of the sword.

It is difficult to meet in the world, Xie Qingshan urges gray hair.

Generous but frost and snow, a scar on the side of the eyebrows.
