On May 10th, today is the day of the release of "Sweet Honey", after Huo Yaowen and Anna sent Xiaobao and Xiaohu to the Mid-Levels Villa, the two of them snuggled together and went to the Golden Harvest Theater.

Originally, I just wanted to buy tickets to enter the theater like ordinary audiences, but who knew that when I arrived at the gate of the theater, I saw Xu Anhua and Zhang Yingying standing in the crowd of people queuing up to buy tickets, as if they wanted to come to the theater to see the audience's reaction to this movie.

"Teacher Huo!"

Zhang Yingying's eyes were very sharp, and she saw Huo Yaowen wearing sunglasses at a glance.

When Xu Anhua heard this, he looked back, and the two of them walked over together, and hurriedly shouted, "Teacher Huo, Teacher Anna." ”

"Ah Hua, Yingying hasn't seen you for a long time. Seeing the two of them, Anna showed a kind smile, when she was teaching for Huo Yaowen, she liked these two students very much.

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen glanced at Xu Anhua, who was nervous, and his heart turned, and he suddenly understood, and asked with a smile: "Don't worry?"

"A little bit. ”

Xu Anhua touched the back of her head embarrassedly, although she had been with several crews for a long time before, and had also filmed a few scenes alone, but this was her first time as an independent choreographer, and she was inevitably a little nervous, so she pulled her friend Zhang Yingying and thought about going to the theater to see the audience's most real reaction.

"I heard from Manager Wen before, they said that your movie is very good, and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Huo Yaowen encouraged himself as a student.

"Well, I got the teacher. ”

Xu Anhua said that he was not nervous, but he was still very worried in his heart.

"Okay, now that we've met, let's buy a ticket and go in and see it. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled, and after a while, the four of them bought tickets and entered the screening hall of the theater together.

……

Huo Zainian, played by Qin Han in the movie, the contradictory emotions hovering between the two women, deduced the true feelings, and Huo Yaowen, who watched it, nodded again and again in his heart. I thought, the acting skills are still good, no wonder I can become a well-known literary and artistic student in Taiwan in the 7-80s.

It's just that the emotions hovering between the two women, I don't know if it's true colors, after all, in another time and space, he is this kind of typical scumbag who has long Wangshu.

On the other hand, as the plot of the movie slowly unfolds, most of the audience is immersed in the love between Huo Zainian and Zhang Wanrong. Xu Anhua, who was sitting next to Huo Yaowen, had no intention of watching the film, she was looking left and right at the moment, wanting to see the audience's facial expressions to judge whether they were satisfied with the movie.

"Don't worry, the movie is very good, and I'm sure it's going to be a good box office. Huo Yaowen noticed the uneasy Xu Anhua, patted her hand, and said with relief.

Xu Anhua glanced sideways at the teacher, and her hearty smile seemed to relieve a lot of pressure in her heart, she took a long breath of turbidity, nodded and said, "As long as I don't lose money, I will be satisfied." ”

"Ah Hua, you really underestimate your own ability. ”

Huo Yaowen paused and continued: "Although I have not studied film, I have also seen a lot of foreign films, and your film is very different from the current local Hong Kong films, whether it is details, narrative, and shooting techniques, it is very similar to the New Wave style proposed by France in the 60s, I believe that people with vision will definitely like your film." ”

"Teacher, do you also know about French New Wave films?!" Xu Anhua's eyes lit up, and when she finished filming this film and screened it within the company, almost no one brought it up at all.

"Haha, I can still see this. Huo Yaowen grinned.

In his last life, he was also a student who graduated from a professional art college, although he majored in screenwriting, but he also took professional courses in directing for a while, and he can basically see the quality and style of a movie.

In this movie, Xu Anhua spent a lot of effort, in addition to the eight-year preparation of the script, it is more reflected in the directing of the plot.

After returning to Hong Kong, after a two-year internship, Hui Anhua combined the concept of French New Wave with the local culture of Hong Kong Island to create a new wave suitable for Hong Kong cinema.

The concept of New Wave cinema originated in France, which roughly means to change the outdated shooting of the past, with the slogan of "subjective realism", to oppose the rigidity of past films, and to emphasize the shooting of films with the director's "personal style".

Their films deliberately depict the situation, psychology, love and sexual relationships of modern urbanites, which are different from traditional films in that they are full of subjectivity and lyricism.

To put it simply, the New Wave films have a strong personal style of the director, unlike the current Shaw Brothers films, which almost make the film an industrial and crude production.

So in fact, Xu Anhua's excessive worry and nervousness are indeed superfluous and unnecessary, and when this "Sweet Honey" was released on the third day, the new issue of "Film Biweekly" used the poster of this movie as the cover.

With the theme of "Sweet Honey", I wrote a long, long manuscript called "Prelude to Hong Kong New Wave Cinema".

At the beginning of the article, the writer introduced to the public what New Wave cinema is, and tells about the origin of New Wave cinema, its current international influence, and its future development.

then tells the story of Ann Hui, a fledgling female director, who will bring changes to Hong Kong's local films with the groundbreaking film "Sweet Honey".

First of all, the biggest change is that the crude films of the past will be completely swept away from the dust of history, and replaced by new wave films with a strong directorial style and new innovation.

In and out of this article, it shows his admiration for Xu Anhua. And the person who wrote this article is Liang Puzhi, who created a precedent for Hong Kong's new school of police and gangster films and is the first person in Hong Kong New Wave films.

With the first person to speak out, the second person is naturally not far away.

Therefore, with the fermentation of time, more and more directors have joined in the discussion of New Wave films, and many people think that this "Sweet Honey" not only has a very big innovation compared with previous Hong Kong films from the narrative structure to the shooting techniques, but also has a strong director's personal style, which is worth promoting.

When the outside world was still discussing New Wave films, "Happy Ghost Catching Ghost" cooperated by Huanyu Film Company and Phoenix TV also quietly started filming.

This movie was Huo Yaowen's sudden idea when he saw Huang Baiming, who was working as a screenwriter, on Phoenix Channel.

The "Happy Ghost" series in another time and space is still very well-known, and the box office is also very high, at this time Girls' Generation is on the rise, in order to further improve their fame, it is still very helpful to shoot a movie based on them.

Happy ghosts are comedy and joy films, the investment is not large, and the profit points are also very large, as the first film shot in Girls' Generation, it is basically not difficult.

So after Huo Yaowen wrote out the outline of the script, he directly threw it to Phoenix Terrace and asked them to find someone to fill it in and improve it themselves.

……

Time passes little by little, and the day of the start of the Hong Kong International Film Festival is getting closer and closer.

As the first film festival in Hong Kong, major local film companies have submitted film registrations, and a large number of film companies in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia have also been invited to cooperate with the film exhibition.

When everything was in order, Huo Yaowen made a phone call to the United States, and learned from the Huanyu branch that the post-production of "Jurassic Park" was almost complete, and Fox's plan was tentatively set in two months.

Two months later, in July.

Huo Yaowen estimated it, and asked the person in charge of the branch to inform the people of Fox that after the film was made, he would bring the original film and crew to Hong Kong to participate in the film festival.

"Got the general manager. ”

The person in charge nodded, and suddenly remembered Zunlong, who had signed a contract some time ago, and couldn't help asking, "What about the actor we signed?"

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen frowned and pondered for a while, if he brought Zunlong to Hong Kong to develop, relying on his excellent appearance and ability, the future prospects would definitely not be bad, but Huo Yaowen still didn't want to do it in his heart.

In the future, the United States Huanyu Branch will definitely produce independently, and Zunlong will be able to mix many important roles over there in the future, and it is not impossible to become the protagonist when he accumulates fame in the United States.

It's just that if you want to play the leading role in Hollywood, I'm afraid it's unlikely in the short term, and Big Brother Cheng also relied on his popularity in Asia to gradually catch up with Hollywood.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about what to do, so he had to say: "You let Zunlong come to Hong Kong with the Jurassic crew in July, and I will arrange it then." ”

"Yes. ”
