Chapter 1162 A Generation of Grandmasters

The cost of "Initial D" is not very high, for today's Qianqiu Pictures, with an investment of the same level in a year, there can be four movies.

In terms of publicity, it is also very average.

Except for one publicity before the initial boot, there was no more publicity.

The Jiangxia people have been recognized in the island country.

is also thanks to Jiang Xia's scenes, which are basically at home, and there are not many scenes that go out to film, otherwise they will definitely be recognized.

No matter how recognizable he is, he is also a world-class superstar, and he is currently the only world-class superstar in Asia.

In mid-August, Jiang Xia left the island country for all the scenes.

What the whole "Initial D" can be filmed, and whether there can be a follow-up, depends on how Jiang Chenxi and Zhang Luofu do it, if it is very badly filmed, Jiang Xia will not be able to give a follow-up script.

Even, Jiang Xia was mentally prepared for this to be his only bad movie.

Zhang Luofu's movies, no matter how he goes, he has to support them, and he has to participate in them.

Leaving the island country, Jiang Xia went back to China directly.

After spending two days in the capital, he then traveled to the three eastern provinces, where Gong Shan had been training for more than a year at a martial arts school.

When Jiang Xia came, Gong Shan was practicing.

When "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)" was not finished, Jiang Xia had already begun to prepare for the next movie, which was the first film he would shoot in China.

At that time, Jiang Xia slowly came to Chinatown and happened to see the lion dance.

Standing over there, watching in a daze for a long time, Jiang Xia went home and began to write the script.

Title: "The Grandmaster"

Ip Man is a Wing Chun master, and in Jiang Xia's previous life, he was a super IP character, comparable to Fang Shiyu and Wong Fei Hung.

He is the main character in many movies.

Jiang Xia has also seen several similar works in his life, and the protagonist is also Ip Man, but the influence is not enough, not as influential as the works in his previous life.

Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" trilogy, the classic line "I'm going to fight ten" has become an Internet buzzword.

Relying on these three movies, Donnie Yen himself has become a premier action star.

When Jiang Xia watched the lion dance, the first thing that came to mind was Huang Feihong.

Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung series of movies is very exciting, but he quickly gave up this idea, because Jiangxia didn't have time to make so many series of movies.

In addition to Huang Feihong, Jiang Xia also thought about Fang Shiyu, but Fang Shiyu's entire series was too long, and Jiang Xia also gave up.

The "Ip Man" trilogy is very suitable, but Jiang Xia thought about it for a while and gave up this series.

The reason is also very simple, the overall influence of the "Ip Man" trilogy is far inferior to that of a "Generation of Grandmasters".

It took the king of sunglasses three years to grind it out little by little without a script.

Before Zhang Ziyi made this movie, because of negative reasons, she had a bad reputation, she fell silent, and three years later, she came back with "The Grandmaster" and won all the awards that China could win.

That year, "The Grandmaster" won all the awards.

Wong Kar-wai's movies, the overall style is more literary, even if it is a martial arts movie, it is still very literary, the typical one is "East Evil and West Poison", which shoots each character with a different taste.

Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" has many lines that imitate Wong Kar-wai's movie "Chongqing Forest".

Director Liu Zhenwei and director Wong Kar-wai are good friends, at the beginning, Wong Kar-wai lost money in filming "East Evil and West Poison", and lost money to Liu Zhenwei's company, in order to save the company, Liu Zhenwei spent a short time and used the original team to shoot a classic comedy "East Becomes West" to make a lot of money.

The actors of the two movies are the same, but the effects of the performances are completely different, and it has become a good story.

Wong Kar-wai made a movie, there was no script, some people once doubted the authenticity of this matter, but it turned out that there was indeed no script, so he took a page to the crew every day, and then let people shoot it.

Therefore, Wong Kar-wai's movies are very ink, and they are not ordinary ink.

But his movies are also very good and are regarded as classics by many people.

However, people who like Wong Kar-wai's movies like it very much, and those who don't like it very much, and the polarization is quite serious.

Jiang Xia likes "The Grandmaster", he has watched this movie many times, the confrontation between Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung is very exciting, especially when Miss Gong Er saw Ip Man for the last time, the two of them sat opposite each other, talking like a pair of old friends, the atmosphere, rhythm, lines, and acting skills are quite perfect.

Now, when he wants to make a kung fu movie, Jiang Xia first thinks of "The Grandmaster", and what comes to mind again is actually Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu".

Jiang Xia has always believed that Stephen Chow's pinnacle talent has all contributed to this movie.

After "Kung Fu", Jiang Xia didn't like Stephen Chow's movies very much, including the last movie "Yangtze River No. 7" starring Stephen Chow, he didn't like it very much.

The main reason why I don't like it is that it doesn't feel like Stephen Chow.

Although, Jiang Xia also admitted that that was the real Stephen Chow, and it was the movie he wanted to make the most.

Everyone has different preferences, and evaluating the quality of a movie should be combined with preferences.

The reason why "The Grandmaster" was chosen over "Kung Fu" is also because "The Grandmaster" has won more awards than the two films.

has not returned to China for more than ten years, and Jiang Xia wants to come up with a movie that can win awards.

He and Gong Shan haven't worked together on a movie for a long time, he wants to cooperate with Gong Shan, and he also wants Gong Shan to win more awards and leave her more classic works.

"The Grandmaster" is definitely a classic.

Because to prepare this movie, the main actors must have a certain kung fu foundation.

Gongshan itself has it, but it is not enough, so Jiang Xia asked her to study and systematically learn martial arts, and now it has been more than a year.

Wong Kar-wai filmed "The Grandmaster", in which the starring roles were undoubtedly Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung, but among them, Zhang Zhen also starred.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Xia himself has never let go of his efforts, although he is not learning Wing Chun, but it will be easier to turn his head and learn Wing Chun.

In addition to Gong Shan, Ding Yiyi also exercised a little, and he also starred, not only him, but Xiang Ying also starred.

The first movie that Jiang Xia wants to make when he returns to China will be supported by the entire Qianqiu Pictures.

Originally, Jiang Xia thought about letting He Ying play, but in the end he decided to let Gong Shan play, although he was a little older, he was barely suitable, if Gong Shan was a little older, it might not be suitable.

When Gong Shan saw Jiang Xia, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, call you back. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
