Chapter 225: It's all up to your peers
When Wang Guxian received the invitation to "A Chinese Ghost Story", he didn't know who Chen Jialuo was, only Xu Xian, and then the unspoken rules of the incident, he felt a little disgusting in his heart, if it weren't for Xu Xian's communication with Fang Yihua and the reversal of public opinion, it is estimated that Wang Guxian would have missed the role of Nie Xiaoqian.
As you get in touch with Chen Jialuo, this enigmatic man is an unkind director and a funny young man, which makes people feel more and more attracted to you.
If Wang Guxian relied on Chen Jialuo to pick him up and ascend to the high position of Hong Kong's first-line actress, then Chen Jialuo can also be said to be Wang Guxian watching him become a first-line director in Hong Kong.
At the beginning, Wang was hesitant to go to Hong Kong for development, and there were some "undecided" moves. She also consulted listeners on the radio, and she also received strong support and encouragement from her classmates on this issue.
In this way, a young girl from Taiwan, with many dreams, embarked on a trip to Xiangjiang alone. And what lies ahead and at the end of this journey, no one has been able to give an answer before.
She has cooperated with many big stars and made a lot of movies, and the box office is good and bad, but no one remembers her, and the directors are willing to use her, on the one hand, because of Fang Yihua, and on the other hand, because of her Taiwanese identity.
Until the appearance of Chen Jialuo, "A Chinese Ghost Story" brought the most intuitive sensation, Wang Guxian ascended to the throne of a first-line actress as he wished, so that this girl who came to Hong Kong from Taiwan to pursue her dream tasted the taste of success.
"If he had established a film company when he was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", maybe he would have had the opportunity to join. Wang Guxian glanced at Qiu Shuzhen, who was smiling like a flower, and sighed secretly.
……
"I heard that Chen Jialuo's new film is called "The Birth of a Word", which I just said to the boss. ”
"Gangster movies, I thought Chen Jialuo would play some new tricks, it seems that he doesn't dare to take risks when he starts a company and becomes the boss!"
"Chen Jialuo cooperates with Yongsheng Film Company?"
"The female star next to the boss, who is said to be the heroine of the movie, toasted Chen Jialuo several glasses of wine just now!"
"It is said outside that Chen Jialuo's film company was invested by Chen and Feng, but now it doesn't look like it, will it cooperate with Yongsheng and use Golden Harvest's line together?"
"If that's the case, then Chen Jialuo and Princess Jin should be considered unhappy, otherwise there is no need to switch to the other family, even if you vote for Debao!"
……
Just when Chen Jialuo was in a daze at Zhou Runfa's table, the name of the movie "The Birth of a Word" also spread at the banquet.
As soon as you hear the name, most people conclude that this is a gangster movie.
During this period, in addition to Chen Jialuo's own costume ghost films and the always popular funny-style movies, there were only gangster action movies left to sell at the box office.
Chen Jialuo opened his own company as the boss and wanted to invest, and this guy who has always made people feel that every movie has played new tricks, and he didn't dare to take risks.
……
"Old Monster Xu, the first play of Arlo's company, is it really a gangster movie?" Zeng Zhiwei frowned and asked in a low voice.
The script of "The Birth of a Word", Xu Wei has really read it. Chen Jialuo showed him the final draft, and Xu Wei also helped to make slight changes to some plots.
And there is a role in it, which is arranged for Xu Xian to make a cameo.
Because of this, it is equivalent to saying that Xu Wei has the script of the play "The Birth of a Word" in his hand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows it well.
"Yes, what, you also have a gangster movie to shoot?" Xu Mian joked.
Zeng Zhiwei nodded with a wry smile and said: "I'll go back and push this project back again, and wait until Ah Luo's new film burns the gangster film market even more, and then take a look!"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't give me sloppy eyes, knowing that Ah Luo is going to shoot, you will definitely be more anxious to shoot! When his movie is released, the box office is strong, you will be on it later, if it is not prosperous, hehe, I estimate that there will be a lot of movies of the same type released, beat the water dogs!"
"We have seen Arlo's ability, and I believe everyone is looking forward to him heating up the market for gangster movies a little more!" Zeng Zhiwei snorted.
In fact, as Xu Wei said, Zeng Zhiwei promised to do so. To put it bluntly, the film market is fighting each other, how can there be so many rivers and lakes morality.
And the gun shot the first bird, Chen Jialuo has been in the limelight in the past two years, and there are many people who want to see him follow!
It's just that people like Jia Liang are too ugly to eat and commit taboos.
Xu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Zhiwei, I'm afraid that you didn't plan to make a gangster movie at all, but now you have a temporary idea, right?!"
Zeng Zhiwei avoided answering, and asked in confusion: "Is Mr. Xiang doing it on purpose? How can this kind of thing be revealed now?"
In Hong Kong movies of this period, a title may make people guess an idea, an idea, a theme, and everyone can spend a week concocting a movie to make money before your work.
"The Birth of a Word" is literally understood as a gangster movie, there is no doubt about it.
Yongsheng Film Company will not invest in this movie, Mr. Xiang is not so stupid, right? Fortunately, he didn't tell the plot, otherwise the matter would be big.
Xu Qian thought about it, shook his head again, and said, "Who knows!"
"yes, who knows! "The Birth of a Word" may or may not be a costume film, Arlo's idea is wild, can you guess?"
As soon as these words came out, Zeng Zhiwei and the others were really stunned for a moment, but then they smiled and said: "When he starts the film, won't he know what movie it is!"
Xu Qian sat on the side and laughed without saying a word, and said secretly in his heart: This guy Arlo still likes adventure, "The Birth of a Word" is an ordinary gangster movie, it is a brand new model at all!
Looking at the reactions of Zeng Zhiwei and others, Xu Wei suddenly understood, but he was not very sure.
Mr. Xiang mentioned "The Birth of a Word" in public, and chatted with Chen Jialuo for a while, did he deliberately release the news that Chen Jialuo was going to make a gangster movie?
The theme of gangster movies has been popular after "The True Colors of Heroes", but there were no eye-catching works at the beginning of this year, and it seems that those who take the ghost horse route are more selling.
But Chen Jialuo is going to make a gangster movie, and the guys who have eaten the sweetness behind "A Chinese Ghost Story" are afraid that they will be ready to move again.
There is a saying called standing out from the crowd, Chen Jialuo's "The Birth of a Word" has a very weird style, and it is difficult to judge life and death, but if there are a bunch of bad gangster movies, maybe it can really be different!
There is a saying called it: it all depends on the peers!
