1225 [Prison Storm] (3rd Update)
"Mr. Xia, this is the script of "Prison Heroes", and we hope to use it from Zhou Runfa. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mai Jia sent the script to the summer.
"Prison Heroes"?!" Summer was stunned for a moment, then took the script, opened it, and immediately understood. said that it was "Prison Heroes", but in fact, the story was the version of "Prison Storm" in the previous life.
In his previous life, Lin Lingdong filmed "Dragon and Tiger", which became an instant hit and became one of Hong Kong's first-line directors. Then he made persistent efforts and filmed this story that reflected the theme of prison, and named it "Prison Storm", which can be regarded as the light of "Dragon and Tiger".
However, in this life, he filmed "Dragon and Tiger Heroes", so the name of the new film is also consistent, named "Prison Heroes". Although the name is a little weaker than "Prison Storm". But as long as the movie itself is outstanding, in fact, the name is weak.
is like Cheng Long's "Police Story", the name is simply rotten, but it is a classic of Hong Kong police and bandit action movies, there is no doubt about it.
The movie "Prison Storm", I have watched it many times in my previous life in the summer, and I know that it is the pioneering work of Hong Kong's "prison films", and the "Women's Prison", "Black Prison Broken Intestine Song", "Dragon in Prison" and so on that started filming later were all shot with this movie.
In this movie, Zhou Yunfa plays the role of Zhong Tianzheng, an old fritter, relying on a little slippery and a little cleverness, wandering in the prison where gangsters are rampant, not causing trouble, not causing trouble, and being unharmed.
And Lu Jiayao, played by Liang Jiahui in the film, is a scholar who is not familiar with the world. Originally, life was very good, but because he accidentally killed someone, he was imprisoned in this dark cell.
Because of his upright personality and lack of tactfulness, he offended the gangsters, was bullied, framed, and miserable. Disheartened, he is bent on death.
Although Zhong Tianzheng was reluctant to meddle in matters for the sake of Mingzhe's self-preservation, seeing that he was so pitiful, he still extended a helping hand to him. The two became friends as a result.
Gangs were rampant in the prison, and Dasha, Silly Biao, and Datun each led a group of men and horses, fighting with each other, often harming the pond fish, and causing ordinary prisoners to suffer a lot.
The prison guard killer is ruthless, fierce and brutal, not only does not restrain these gangs, but uses the hands of the gangsters to fight the gangsters, making the prison even more chaotic.
Unable to bear it, Zhong Tianzheng finally abandoned the principle of "not causing trouble and not causing trouble" that he had insisted on for many years, and was forced to resist, and a fierce conflict broke out with the prison guard killer Xiong, and he fought and was hospitalized with both injuries......
At the end of the story, Lo Ka-yiu survived his sentence and was successfully released from prison. Zhong Tianzheng also recovered and returned to prison.
The good brothers reunited at the prison gate, and the fat mother Maria's "Light of Friendship" was sung at the right time, which was a good ending.
……
Director Lin Lingdong showed excellent directing skills in this movie, telling the story with ups and downs, extremely sensational, and extremely emotionally infectious.
He filmed the early stage of the story extremely depressingly, telling the painful experience of the stunned young Lu Jiayao who ran into walls everywhere in prison and was bullied. made the audience sympathize with him, and easily substituted for this character. Seeing him so pitiful, the audience's emotions were also extremely depressed. It is all up to Zhong Tianzheng's gags to soothe the audience's emotions;
In the middle of the period, Lo Ka-yiu received the help of Zhong Tianzheng, and finally adapted to life in prison and learned smartly. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the scene of the prisoners dancing to Deng Lijun's "Sweet Honey" in the cell is the warmest part of the play. also relieved the audience's suppressed emotions and showed a knowing smile;
Just when the audience thought that Lu Jiayao would pass his sentence safely and be released from prison safely, the plot took a sharp turn in the later stage. A hunger strike initiated by prisoners temporarily united several major gangs in the prison, and also strained the relationship between prison guards and prisoners.
In order to sabotage the prisoners' hunger strike, the killer Xiong learns the list of organizers from the gangster Datun and confines them all, but slanders Zhong Tian as the leaker.
And in the prison world, the most unbearable ones are the leakers and the two or five boys. Therefore, the killer Xiong's move was to tie Zhong Tianzheng to the guillotine, and he could be killed at any time.
Seeing Zhong Tianzheng, who has always been optimistic and easy-going, tactful, but chivalrous and warm-hearted, was framed by Killer Xiong in this way, the audience couldn't help but be indignant, and they were extremely angry at Killer Xiong's cruelty and Datun's despicability.
Finally, at the end of the movie, Zhong Tianzheng and Datun went head-to-head, overturned Datun, and burned the brutal and unkind killer Xiongyushi together, and finally let the audience breathe a sigh of relief, and their anger was also vented.
In the end, Lu Jiayao successfully passed his sentence, was released from prison, and the family was reunited again. Zhong Tianzheng was also discharged from the hospital safely. Such an ending also made the audience breathe a sigh of relief.
After watching the movie, the audience actually sympathized with the prisoners who broke the law, but the prison guards who enforced the law were disgusted by them. Such an unreasonable change highlights how strong Lin Lingdong's directing skills are.
In his previous life, after watching this movie in the summer, he all threw himself to the five bodies that Lin Lingdong admired. Although his fame is not higher than Wu Yusen, in the summer, his directing skills are on par with Wu Yusen.
……
"Mr. Xia, what do you think of this script?" Mai Jia saw that Xia had been silent after reading the script, so he asked with a smile.
"Good. Summer nodded, "I think it's a very good script." Mr. Mai, your company is really talented. ”
"Thanks for the compliment. When Mai Jia heard this, she smiled proudly.
There are still 3,000 nails in the so-called rotten ship, and the momentum of Xinyicheng today is indeed not as good as before, but it is not comparable to any company.
"Then you promised to borrow Zhou Yan and send it to me?" Mai Jia smiled again.
"It's not just Zhou Yanfa, I also plan to recommend another actor to you. Summer laughed.
"Who?" Mai Jia was stunned and asked suspiciously.
"Liang Jiahui!" Xia smiled slightly, "What do you think of him playing Lu Jiayao?"
"Liang Jiahui?!Are you really willing to lend him to me too?" Mai Jia was stunned and said in surprise.
Liang Jiahui is also a first-line star now, starring in "Ghost Love", but it is internationally famous, with a box office of as much as 100 million US dollars.
If he can also join this movie, how high will the box office of this movie be? !
"When I speak doesn't count. Summer smiled slightly.
"Prison Storm" is a rare masterpiece, and in the summer, it can be called the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption".
Zhou Yunfa and Liang Jiahui acted in this movie, and they definitely didn't lose anything.
Of course, if they act in other movies, they will make more money. But as an actor, making money shouldn't be the first consideration. As the owner of a film company, Xia is also willing to make more good films and masterpieces for his employees, instead of only caring about the box office and making money.
In his previous life, after Huang Baiming, the owner of the film company, received the script of "Farewell My Concubine", he strongly persuaded Zhang Guorong to take over the role of Yu Ji. For this reason, he did not hesitate to postpone the filming of "Happy Family".
As a result, Zhang Guorong was successfully shortlisted for the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival with this film and became an internationally renowned star. For this, Zhang Guorong is grateful to Huang Baiming all his life.
No matter how you say it in the summer, you are a person who is born again, and you have a big family, so you can't lose to Huang Baiming in terms of dealing with people.
"Mr. Xia, if that's the case, then I really thank you so much. Seeing that Xia Xia was really willing to agree to this, Mai Jia immediately stood up excitedly, held Xia's hand and thanked him.
"You're welcome. Summer waved her hand and smiled, "But there's one thing I have to explain to you first." Ah found that he was still filming "Autumn Fairy Tale" in the United States, and it is estimated that it will take at least a month to complete the filming. Now only Liang Jiahui has a schedule. ”
"That's okay, we can shoot Liang Jiahui's part first. When Mai Jia heard this, she hurriedly smiled.
"That's fine. Seeing him say this, Xia smiled and nodded, "By the way, if I hadn't recommended Liang Jiahui, who would you have planned to arrange to play this role?"
"Oh, I originally planned to arrange for Zheng Haonan to act. Mai Jia said.
Zheng Haolan is one of the only remaining students of Golden Harvest, who has been a model before, although he is not as handsome as Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua, and Zhang Guorong, but he can also be regarded as a temperamental man.
Previously, Xinyicheng had praised him for acting in movies such as "Eros No. 1", "Windfall of 30 Million", "Flying Tiger", but unfortunately he has not been popular.
This time, Mai Jia originally planned to use Zhou Runfa to support Zheng Hao. However, since Xia recommended Liang Jiahui, he planned to replace Zheng Haolan.
Because now for Xinyicheng, it is most important to make a box office masterpiece as soon as possible to boost morale. As for the star, it's not too late to talk about it in the future.
"Oh. Summer smiled and nodded, and said sorry to Zheng Hao in his heart, "No way, I won't let you go to such a good movie as "Prison Storm". ”
"It's also suitable for him to play the stunned Qing Lu Jiayao, but he looks stronger, not quite like Sven's reader. Summer immediately commented.
"That's no way, there are too few stars in our new art city. Mai Jia shook her head.
At the beginning, Xinyicheng became popular with many stars, Tan Yilin, Li Lizhen, Zhang Aijia, Ni Shujun, etc., and even Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Ye Tong, etc., have cooperated with them.
But it's a pity that Xinyicheng didn't seize the opportunity, and after those stars became popular, they were all signed by other companies. They have been praised for nothing, but now they are reduced to a situation where no one can use them.
Therefore, he really admires the summer now, and he is praised by people who sign long-term contracts, and he will continue to stay in the company after he becomes popular, and make a lot of money for the company.
If Xinyicheng signed all the stars at the beginning, why not borrow people from the summer now. Fortunately, it is not too late for him to understand this truth, and there will be opportunities to make amends in the future.
