Shanghai in the last century was the "glorious place" of Chinese films.

After a major change, China's film industry has changed from a single branch in Shanghai to three important "circles" - Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Zhang Guorong happens to be connected to these three circles!

In fact, when it comes to the mind of Hong Kong filmmakers, I have to mention an actor, Zhang Guorong!

In the early years, many of the staff and masters in Hong Kong had no work to open and could only go north to make money, this mentality came to the mainland to make films, in their eyes, the mainland's financiers were all local tyrants who were stupid and had a lot of money, and they didn't understand movies at all, and they couldn't say that they were wrong, but when your mentality became perfunctory, it would be difficult for you to make good movies!

The investor is also in a similar mentality, I asked you to come, just to fancy your signboard, is these superstar faces!

This phenomenon has led to the fact that in the 10 years from 02 to 12 years, almost all the mainstream configurations are the structure of famous Hong Kong directors + Hong Kong and Taiwan first-line male stars + mainland first-line female stars, and there is no so-called integration at all, only cold cooperation and even transactions.

In the end, the result is - ten years of co-production, ruining the creativity of a generation of Hong Kong directors and the golden age of a generation of mainland male movie stars!

Of course, it also consumes the opportunity for Hong Kong Island to cultivate a new generation at the expense of the new generation...

What did Zhang Guorong do?

Judging from the information left by the first movie "Stealing Hearts", which originally absorbed the capital of the mainland and was filmed in the mainland, all the starring roles are the new generation of young actors from the mainland - Hu Jun and Ning Jing - there are some others on the Internet, but these two people are more unified.

That was in 2003!

Not only that, but when all Chinese actors and directors at that time fell into collective hesitation in the face of Hollywood's crushing, he was always the person who believed that Chinese films should be based on the vast market of the mainland and use his own team to build a world-class film industry.

Twenty years of Lu Xiaoran...

Many people say that if Zhang Guorong is alive, there is a high probability that he will fall off the altar...

After all, can his talent support him to be sought after by the market?

No one knows!

And with his personality - even Chow Yun-fat and John Woo directly criticized, there is a high probability that he will be frank and outspoken today, maybe he will be cornered by the encirclement and pursuit of the rice circle!

Only mediocre people in the world have no blame and no reputation, and those who are famous all over the world are often slandered all over the world.

Unlike him, although he loves Hong Kong, he sincerely identifies with his Chinese identity, and does not have the confusion of Hong Kong identity.

Such a person will definitely shine in such an era!

......

At the beginning of February, Lin Feng arrived in Cheung Chau full of excitement.

An area of Hong Kong.

It is located halfway between Lantau Island and Lamma Island, about 10 km from Hong Kong.

The character he plays is called Chen Mao, Li Zicheng's younger brother, and he is also an undercover agent of the police...

The book of "New World" is actually the birth of "Infernal Affairs".

Hong Kong's largest gangster, Huaqing Group Chairman Shi Zhongchu, died in a car accident suddenly, and there was a vacuum in power.

The No. 2 person, Zhang Xiuji, lost ground in the infighting in his early years, and was a tiger with his teeth extracted, with the reputation of competing for the president but no strength;

Ding Qing, the No. 3 person, is a cynical boss on the surface, but in fact, "there is a tiger in his heart and a strong competitor for the president";

The fourth person, Li Zhongjiu, is the right and left hand of the former chairman Shi Zhongzhong, and he has won the trust of the president, but he is as anxious as a fire and as fierce as a horse, and in the end he failed to withstand the provocation of the police and Ding Qing's fierce fight, and both sides lost...

Ding Qing's brother Li Zicheng is also an undercover agent planted by the police in the gang, and in the end, he was forced to make a choice when he was helpless.

On the surface, the male protagonist is Li Zhongjiu played by Gu Tianluo, but in fact, the male protagonist is Ding Qing played by Huang Bo!

The success of this character creation directly determines the success of the movie.

Ding Qing is the key to the conflict between the police and the gangsters, he is far-sighted, sees through the layout of the police, ruthlessly breaks the encirclement and interception of the police undercover, and makes Section Chief Jiang jump over the wall in a hurry, eager to use the most important chess piece Li Zicheng, resulting in a situation where all the games are lost.

Ding Qing's character is very complex, a combination of cynicism, ruthlessness, love and righteousness, and freely switch between these modes, making people scratch their heads, sometimes relaxed and humorous, sometimes creepy...

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran decided to let Huang Bo play this character as soon as possible!

Others, I really can't take it.

Lin Feng is not short of money now, he is not short of fame, he lacks good resources - you take a look at the works he has made in recent years, "Dahan Xian's Defender", "Six Doors", "Alone in the World"...

He hopes to use "New World" to break into the orange series...

Everyone knows that the orange series is the top film content producer in the mainland or the entire Chinese-speaking region!

When he arrived at the scene, Huang Bo was following several Korean martial arts instructors to rehearse the action - the elevator God of War section, which must be rehearsed well...

His agent ran over: "Here it is!"

"Hmm... What about the director?"

"I'm talking to Mr. Liang Jiahui!"

"Tony too?"

Liang Jiahui's English name is TonyLeungKaFai, generally in Hong Kong, everyone calls him Tony teacher...

"Does Director Lu have any habits in filming?"

“... It's normal if you don't have any habits, but you can behave well,"

Lin Feng was a little nervous: "He scolds?"

"Don't swear... I heard from the crew that he rarely taught the actors to act during the filming, and mostly let the actors play by themselves, but he likes to go over and over again, so the actors must be fully prepared!"

"That's good, I'll go find Gu Sir..."

Lin Feng and Gu Tianlu have a good relationship, and the fate formed by "Looking for Qin" back then...

Later, he was recommended to act in "Anti-Corruption Storm 4".

......

“... Nichiban has an izakaya culture, we don't!"

Liang Jiahui humbly asked Lu Xiaoran about the director again, he... He was filming the movie version of "Late Night Canteen"...

Lu Xiaoran is very cold...

"Unless you can switch to a food stall!"

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "No, the copyright stipulates that it must be an izakaya, and if you want to adapt "Late Night Canteen", you must follow the original characters, and even the scars on your face can't be changed." ”

Do you really think that the Chinese producers are all fools?

He doesn't want to change to something else?

That's what the copyright owner stipulates!

“... Then push it!"

After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued: "Do you know why I am making crime themes and science fiction movies now?"

"Why?"

"Because we are seriously detached from the masses, we should not impose our own ideas on the people, and it is good to admit that we are inadequate!"

"But I've already taken it, and I want to release it as soon as possible after the drama version of "Late Night Canteen" is launched..."

“... Anyway, if you want me to say that we didn't eat supper at an izakaya, if we don't change this, we just won't pass. ”

It's not that izakaya is bad, but it's not our culture. The Japanese people pay attention to self-denial and repentance, so they sit in an izakaya with their hearts and minds, which is their culture.

What about us?

Most Chinese who go out late at night to forage for food prefer to be lively and popular!

“... I should be able to attract a lot of friends with this face..."

"Good luck..."

Lao Liang has been mixed up for decades, how could he not shoot because Lu Xiaoran is not optimistic?

Don't make money?

Hehe, the copyright owner bought "Late Night Canteen", ready to release the drama version first, and then the film version, no one expected the drama version to hit the street directly, and after the film version was filmed, he didn't dare to go on...

Later, there was no way, and two years later, I chose a cold schedule to be released...

It's useless, it's street goods that are street goods!

"Okay, rest for five more minutes, let's start shooting!"
