- I have decided to quit drinking, and I will quit drinking from now on until I finish my life. I will not see wine, I will not touch wine, I will not drink wine. I'm going to give up the dry red and stay away from the sauce. I'm going to figure out the role and work hard to film. I'm the main character in the crew, the villain at the banquet. I am the vanguard of resistance to drunkenness, the hammer that smashes wine bottles, the clarion call that awakens my companions.

- I give my life and glory to abstain from drinking, tonight, and night.

Not surprisingly, Forrest Gump decided to quit drinking.

When he made this decision, the whole crew couldn't help laughing, and everyone showed respect and admiration for a man's oath.

Gan Jing is very helpless about this situation, and can only sigh and hope that everything will pass, and time is the most magical elder.

The wine was drunk, the traffic was directed, netizens also commented, the broken jar was broken, and the crew still had to operate normally.

After such a incident, Gan Jing didn't have the face to exchange scripts with Liang Chaowei again, let alone go to his house to see Carina Lau, so he discussed with Wang Qiang and decided to shoot the unimportant scenes first.

"Cold War" is co-directed by two directors, Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing, who are also the screenwriters of this play.

Although the two leading actors made some jokes, the directors still attached great importance to Forrest Gump's opinion - what is off-field is off-the-field, and when filming, this is an out-and-out celebrity.

Lu Jianqing has a cheerful personality, while Liang Lemin is relatively introverted, because of the personality relationship, the former communicates more with Forrest Gump, and his posture is very low.

Although the rookie director's Mandarin is too blunt, Gan Jing is still happy to communicate with him and also speaks a lot of his own opinions on the role.

The tone of the story of the script of "Cold War" is defined as the high-level struggle in the Hong Kong police circle, and Gan Jing is actually not very cold, thinking that this is a departure from the essence of previous Hong Kong films, but when communicating with the story screenwriter, he got some answers.

The times are developing, and Hong Kong films also need to innovate, from Crazy Boy to Infernal Affairs, the film is constantly developing, and now, refinement is an inevitable road.

"Cold War" is such an attempt to refine Hong Kong films.

Gan Jing was really surprised when he first heard this, he didn't expect that Lu Jianqing was not shouting with feelings like many people, but instead made thoughts and attempts for the current situation.

The two chatted intermittently for a few days, and Gan Jing suddenly asked a question.

"Now that the mainland is developing rapidly, even Hong Kong companies are choosing to co-produce films, what do you think is the difference between this kind of refinement and the mainland's increasingly large and refined productions? Without the flesh and blood of Hong Kong films, isn't the so-called refinement a big investment and a big production?"

Gan Jing expressed his thoughts: "According to Wang Qiang's original idea, this film uses Kwok Fucheng and Leung Jiahui, but what about this group of people when they get old? Huaxia wants to become the second largest box office, the mainland is the mainstream of the Jedi, and young people in the mainland did not grow up watching Hong Kong films when they grew up, and they don't care about the feelings of Hong Kong films." ”

"You Hong Kong directors can't even speak Mandarin standard, even if you go north to film, I'm afraid that you won't be able to communicate well with mainland actors at that time, not to mention that the internal logic and background of the script and story are different from Hong Kong. What about then?"

"What's the use of your refined ideas?"

Gan Jing's words were all asked in Lu Jianqing's heart, making it difficult for him to answer for a while.

Seeing that the rookie director didn't answer, Gan Jing continued to take care of himself: "I am looking at China from afar in the United States, where there is vitality, and the capital injection is getting bigger and bigger, which is the general trend." ”

"Under the coercion of the general trend, why should the so-called refinement move closer to the mainstream win the hearts of mainland audiences?

Lu Jianqing opened his mouth, but he was stunned and couldn't speak Mandarin.

After a long time, he got up and said a word before leaving: "I invite you to drink another day." ”

Gan Jing rolled his eyes.

Although he is not from Hong Kong, he has watched a lot of Hong Kong films since he was a child, and Gan Jingyou has thought about the development situation of Hong Kong films in the new era, but as he goes to Europe and the United States, he feels more and more that the decline of Hong Kong films is inevitable.

At the end of the day, it's all about the market.

When Hong Kong films were brilliant, they were once known as Oriental Hollywood, but how could such a city support such a glorious situation?

It's a miracle.

And miracles don't always happen.

It is not so much that Hong Kong films have declined, but that it has returned to the level fluctuations that such a city should have.

Count the romantic figures, but also look at the present day.

The effect of the rise of the mainland's economic power is the transfer of the right to speak in the entertainment industry, which is beyond doubt.

……

The questions asked by Gan Jing confused Lu Jianqing, and also confused Liang Lemin, who often communicated with him.

These two directors are ambitious, but they are certainly good rooted in the land of Hong Kong, but it is difficult to overcome the dilemma brought by an era.

The two directors pondered, the two leading actors pondered, and the work of the crew slowed down, but at this time, the working group of Huaxia special effects was stationed, and it was not a waste of time.

The special effects content of "Cold War" is not too much, and Huaxia special effects can disperse their energy here after polishing the production of "Batman 3", and the team leader is still an old acquaintance Liang Wei.

At this meeting, she completely lost her previous resentment about the adjustment work, and focused more on the special effects work.

Sometimes, Gan Jing feels that this situation can be compared to something.

The vibrant Chinese special effects are like the mainland film industry, even if there will be some small things, they will change their focus because of the momentum of rapid growth, but Hong Kong films are not, it is like a nostalgic old man, often thinking about the glorious moments of the past, often thinking about the yellow jacket he once wore, and always has a little more twilight taste.

Regarding the thinking of Hong Kong films, Gan Jing controlled himself and stopped abruptly here, he still had to focus his attention on specific things - first shoot the film in his hand and then talk about other things.

On this day, when he returned to the hotel from the set, he passed by the lobby on the first floor and drew two newspapers to take with him, but when he stood in the elevator, his attention was grabbed, and the headline on it was "Youth Pi Causes Dissatisfaction with Animal Protection Organizations in India".

Gan Jing was a little surprised, he didn't know what the relationship between the two would be, he flipped through the elevator room and found that the introduction was conclusive, because the promotional pictures released by "Life of Pi" were too realistic, and animal protection groups protested against the crew's use of tigers and did not respect their freedom.

Simply put, violating their tiger rights.
