Chapter 740: Two Scripts

After the baptism of four movies, especially after the baptism of "The City Full of Golden Armor", I feel that "The Gambler" is now being filmed

If the command is determined, anyone can see Jiang Xia's current state, especially the people who have cooperated with Jiang Xia, and the feeling is even more obvious.

Jiang Xia was not in a hurry or slow, and the arrangement was well organized, so that Deputy Director Li had nothing to do, he was the executive director, but now Jiang Xia's arrangement made him have nothing to do, and he was very melancholy.

Xue Yan said to Cheng Xin: "Mr. Cheng, Director Jiang is better than before. ”

Cheng Xin said: "Commanding 20,000 people for three months, only polishing that one scene, no matter how powerful he is, then he is not Jiangxia." ”

Xue Yan also admitted this, although she still didn't look at Jiang Xia very well, it didn't prevent her from admiring Jiang Xia. Less than two years after joining Hengying, he has completed three films, earning Hengying a box office of 2 billion, including a blockbuster with an investment of nearly 300 million, which is so intense and appalling.

In the history of the entertainment industry, if an actor shoots more than a dozen plays a year, everyone will believe it and understand it. Because actors can do this, sometimes the two crews are separated by the same street, and in the past it was another crew, which can shoot at any time, and shoot at the same time.

But if a director makes more than a dozen movies or TV series a year, everyone will not believe it, this is simply impossible, directors and actors are two species.

Look at today's directors, even if they are known for their high production, they still have one film a year, sometimes even one film every two years.

Only Jiangxia, not counting the first digital movies, all the movies released on the big screen are shot with two movies a year, and many of them are self-directed and self-acted.

Pure directing and self-acting are different concepts, and self-directing and self-acting are undoubtedly more difficult.

But Jiangxia can do this, and what's even more terrifying is that Jiangxia, who has done this, produces works that are still so good.

Xue Yan couldn't imagine how Jiang Xia did it, you must know that these movies were all written by Jiang Xia herself, so even if Xue Yan still didn't like Jiang Xia, it didn't prevent her from admiring Jiang Xia.

As for Cheng Xin beside her, Xue Yan couldn't understand it anymore. Cheng Xin's feelings for Jiang Xia were already sick in Xue Yan's opinion, but she had no way to remind her that the emotional matter was as sober as an epiphany until the end, and others could not wake up. The only thing she could do was to stay by Cheng Xin's side inch by inch, like a loyal guard, and minimize Cheng Xin's damage as much as possible.

Jiang Xia first filmed a scene in a villa on the mountain.

Jiang Feng is easier to enter the role than others, he just played Chen Xiaodao a year ago, and now he plays the same role, and the character has not been modified much, and it is too simple to enter the role.

Throughout the movie, you can clearly see the shadow of the sequel, the new characters don't have to appear yet, and the rest of the characters have all appeared before, and the filming will start as soon as they are pulled, and the entry on the first day will be very smooth.

Jiang Xia held a meeting the night before and said, "I think we can speed up a little, according to today's shooting speed, we can complete this movie in forty days." This still counts the time that the shootout may take, so a few scenes scheduled tomorrow, plus two, try. ”

"Good. ”

After the coordinator left, Jiang Xia was alone in the room, sitting on a chair, deep in thought.

In the movie "The Gambler", in the original version, Andy Lau was the protagonist, but he was suppressed by Stephen Chow's demeanor. Stephen Chow and Andy Lau have acted in two movies together, one is "The Gambler" starring Andy Lau, and the other is "The King of Tricks" starring Stephen Chow. In both movies, Stephen Chow is brilliant.

Wang Jing finished filming "God of Gamblers" at that time and created a gambling film, and then Liu Zhenwei's "Saint of Gambling" directly achieved Stephen Chow.

Seeing that gambling films are so profitable, people like Wang Jing who have no discipline, of course, are like cats that smell fishy, so they got back to gambling films, pulled Andy Lau here, and dragged Stephen Chow to shoot a "Gambler".

The protagonist should have been Andy Lau, but it is estimated that Wang Jing herself didn't expect that in the whole film, Stephen Chow's brilliance is far better than Andy Lau's, and his acting skills threw Liu Tianwang out for several streets.

Later, Andy Lau only followed Stephen Chow to make two movies, and then stopped cooperating, he was really abused, and understood that in Stephen Chow's movies, the most brilliant is always himself, no one can hide his brilliance, and no one is more brilliant than him.

In Jiang Xia's version of "The Gambler", it is not so exaggerated, mainly because Jiang Xia's acting skills have not yet reached the point where he can crush Jiang Feng.

Andy Lau's acting skills have always been criticized, but Andy is a ruthless man who has been working hard, and finally won the crown of actor in 99 with a "Dark War". Andy after that, just like opening the hanging, can play against Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs".

Andy before "Dark War" and Andy after "Dark War" are definitely two people.

This is Jiang Xia's evaluation of Andy Lau after watching many of Andy Lau's movies, and it was a watershed.

What Jiang Xia was thinking about at this time was the movie "Dark War".

"Dark War" is the actor-level rivalry between Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun, the story is not complicated, but it is definitely a classic Hong Kong police film, Johnny To's film style is vividly shown in this play, black, violent, dynamic, and fateful. Johnny To's films, with a simple style and an obvious black style, are unique in creating an atmosphere and have a rather distinct style.

Jiang Xia likes To Qifeng's police and gangster movies more, whether it is the more popular "Gunfire" and "Dark War", or the less famous "Big Event" and "Big Man with Great Wisdom", or the rare classic "Killing Gold" in Hong Kong in the later era, Jiang Xia likes it very much.

The "Dark War" he is considering now is that he took a fancy to it and won the award, which pushed Andy Lau to the throne of the actor.

Jiang Xia has not been able to make a decision on which movie to choose after gambling on the film, he has been thinking for a long time, for a long time, what he initially thought about was the rescue work of Hong Kong films "Infernal Affairs", but he immediately denied "Infernal Affairs", his current acting skills and experience, he can't act in this movie, and he can't hold it.

He doesn't want classic movies, he wants movies that can put him on the throne of the actor.

Except for "Infernal Affairs", Jiang Xia excluded all Stephen Chow's movies, Xing Ye's acting skills are obvious to all, but Xing Ye's movies, except for "Shaolin Football", which won an Academy Award for Best Actor, no movie has won the Best Actor crown, and this movie is a bit of a comforting nature.

Stephen Chow's movies are not liked by those judges, so Jiang Xia can't choose his movies. Double Monday, in terms of box office and the influence of young people, Stephen Chow is higher. The influence in the world is undoubtedly the highest in Jackie Chan. The winner was Chow Yun-fat.

But Jiang Xia didn't think about playing the role of Chow Yun-fat in the past, he was very self-aware, he could distinguish what roles he could play and what roles he couldn't.

The double weekly movie could not be made, and Jiang Xia suddenly fell into a situation where he was overstretched.

To find out the role he can play well from the vast movies, Jiang Xia is very brain-burning. He set his sights on "Dark War", the reason is that the robber played by Andy Lau in "Dark War" is a very ingenious character, and under various backgrounds, the 72-hour game is played perfectly. This role makes people hate him as a robber, Andy Lau's coolness is shown in this movie, and his style can be seen in many later movies.

In addition to "Dark War", Jiang Xia has thought of a movie is "The True Story of A Fei", Leslie Cheung won the best actor with this movie, and Wong Kar-wai won the best director.

For Jiang Xia, who is bent on winning awards, this is a very good movie, but Jiang Xia has a big worry, Wang Sunglasses' movie, can he really make it well? This filming has never had a script, and a director who can drag down a company is not something that anyone can imitate.

Jiang Xia fell into deep contemplation, he also thought about "Killing Gold", Liu Qingyun won the Golden Horse Best Actor with this movie, and To Qifeng won the best director with it.

But the same worry appeared in Jiang Xia's heart, the movie is a good movie, can he perform it?

Jiang Xia knows himself very well, at his age, he can distinguish what role he can play and what role he can't.

He can act in Stephen Chow's movies, but not Chow Yun-fat's, Andy Lau's movies can act, and Liu Qingyun's is a bit suspenseful......

In addition to these relatively normal movies, Jiang Xia has even considered some abnormal movies, such as Huang Qiusheng's "Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun", and "Heavenly Bath", which dominated all the awards at the 35th Golden Horse Awards......

These movies have all kinds of problems, "Heavenly Bath" is a banned film, a good movie is a good movie, but Jiang Ming may not let him shoot it, it is too sensitive, the theme of that era, it is better to touch it less. Huang Qiusheng's barbecued pork bun is a good consideration, but I'm afraid that others will not be happy to see the thriller movie.

Jiang Xia also has to think about the box office, he doesn't want the box office of the movie he made to be too bad, the box office is a failure for him, and winning the award is also a failure. He can make the kind of movie that is not released and only fights for awards, but as long as the movie is released, it must have a certain box office, which is for the audience to see, and the audience must be willing to watch it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Xia hadn't decided yet, but he didn't think about it, and basically circled "Dark War", as for "Infernal Affairs", it was an alternative, and it was an inevitable choice after "Dark War" failed to win the prize. If "Dark War" succeeds in winning the award, "Infernal Affairs" will be delayed for a few years, and it will only be filmed after Jiang Xia hones his acting skills and thinks he can do it.

In addition to the movie script that will win the award in the second half of the year, Jiang Xia also has a movie script to write, which is really written, not copied, which is the second part of the "Superstar" series.
