Chapter 279: Preparing for the Golden Slot
Seeing that Chen Jialuo didn't look like a joke, everyone felt a little sorry.
"The Birth of a Word" from the preparation for filming to the present, You Azhi and they have all invested full enthusiasm and focus, compared with other drama staff, many old fritters, this movie is more like their debut, because Chen Jialuo basically let go of them to lead the shooting.
Whether it is You Dazhi, You Naihai, Du Kefeng or Wu Huo, they are all holding back their strength to prove themselves and prove the strength of the Red Flower Club.
Leaving Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd., without Xu Xian Film Studio, and losing radiant box office superstars such as Zhou Yunfa, Leslie Cheung, and Wang Guxian, they can still make good things.
And "The Birth of a Word", Chen Jialuo did give this 'Boy Scout' a chance.
Compared with the hot-blooded You Dazhi and others, Ke Shouliang is much calmer. He was invited to serve as an action director and stunt director, and he entered the crew with a learning attitude, not a member of the Red Flower Society.
In his opinion, when Chen Jialuo chose to shoot and cut as he went, he was destined to shoot this movie in a hurry, and he would not wait for any prime time, and once the post-production was completed, it would be released.
At present, several masterpieces in the Hong Kong film industry are being filmed, such as Golden Harvest's "Police Story Sequel", "Flying Dragon Fierce General", "Seven Little Blessings" or "Eight Star Annunciation", "Chicken and Duck Talk", "Childe Love", or Debao's "Rich and Powerful", etc., are all big investments, masterpieces of big casts, whether it is Fang Long, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Runfa, etc., each of them is the existence of crushing Liang Jiahui and Zhang Xueyou.
In such a situation, Chen Jialuo chose to avoid them, which was also a very wise and correct choice. Because of the current Chen Jialuo, he has lost the full support of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and the cast of "The Birth of a Word" is indeed too weak.
Regarding the respective speculations of You Dazhi, Ke Shouliang and others, Chen Jialuo can probably think of one or two, in this regard, he just smiled and said: "Shoot well, strive to finish as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about other things." β
β¦β¦
Almost as soon as Chen Jialuo returned to the crew of "The Birth of a Word" and was back in charge of the progress of the film, it was gradually revealed that the Red Flower Society was preparing for the filming of a new film. In fact, the secrecy of "God of Gamblers" is still very good, and the various speculations obtained by the outside world are also speculations given to you by the Red Flower Club, as for whether Zhou Yunfa and other actors join, it has always been a mystery.
In the office, Liu Zhenwei, who rarely came to the company before, said: "Ah Luo, Wu Mengda has negotiated over there." β
"Although he used to gamble, he can be regarded as a change of heart, and his acting skills are still there. β
Chen Jialuo said: "I will give you all the authority over "God of Gamblers" anyway, Zhou Yanfa and Liu Dehua's specific makeup photos, Zhang Shuping will give you." Anyway, I just have a request, to be released on the Christmas schedule. β
"Don't worry! You have given such a heavy task, I must be careful! The first work after coming to the Red Flower Society, I will be regarded as a vote!" Liu Zhenwei smiled and said, in fact, he also liked the script of "God of Gamblers" very much.
In fact, Chen Jialuo asked Liu Zhenwei to finish the filming of "God of Gamblers" before Christmas, and he had to complete the post-production and prepare for the release, which is a bit unreasonable, because there is not much time left for Liu Zhenwei.
However, in fact, the filming speed of Hong Kong's film industry can be said to be frighteningly fast. In the past, Chen Jialuo liked to grind slowly, but if you really want to talk about making quick money at present, it is still a book like "God of Gamblers", which is also fast to film, and the box office will definitely not be bad.
As far as movies like "God of Gamblers" are concerned, Chen Jialuo must be filming with the style of recreating the genre. The Hong Kong film market, once the situation is opened, will inevitably bloom.
Chen Jialuo said: "Other unsuitable actors or can't come temporarily, you just watch it! Anyway, it's the key to shoot as soon as possible." β
In fact, when many people mention Liu Zhenwei, everyone's first reaction is "Journey to the West".
But whether it is "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" or "Journey to the West: Cinderella", these two are not his masterpieces at all.
In the case of Liu Zhenwei, he is actually a person whose screenwriting skills are stronger than directing skills, and the focus of his films is the combination of stories and jokes, irony, and the mixing of old and new elements.
In Chen Jialuo's personal opinion, Liu Zhenwei's work is of the highest level is "92 Black Roses to Black Roses", which combines business and art quite well.
It is not surprising that there were ups and downs after that, or there were deviations from art and going straight to business, which was also the result of personal experience.
As for later, Liu Zhenwei began a kind of self-replication. This kind of reproduction is not to say, clichΓ©, but to really say a lot of what has been said, what you care about, and say it again.
People who have watched a certain number of Hong Kong films feel that his later movies are bad because the old logic is clumsy and repeated, and the audience has the feeling of being fooled. It's the same reason that many people think Wang Jing's movies are vulgar. Why?
Because a lot of their movies aren't made for you. Wang Jing has a lot of dramas (not all), the targets are the cane biting gang, the underworld gangsters, and even the people who will actually watch movies and jerk off in the theater.
Therefore, any movie is aimed at a self-identified audience. Compared with Wang Jinglai, Liu Zhenwei actually lost in commercial calculations, which few directors in Hong Kong can be better than Wang Jing.
Some people say that Liu Zhenwei is not a good director, but he is a good joker, which is indeed evident in his movies such as "Ghost Mansion", and its funnyness is the guarantee of the box office in a large sense.
In the current Hong Kong film market, as long as your movie is a little bit close to comedy, and it is not the kind of funny way that is too vulgar, you will have a certain gain, not to mention that Liu Zhenwei's jokes are unexpected.
Of course, "God of Gamblers" is also funny and funny, but there are also sad and tear-jerking, so Chen Jialuo is named as a producer, just to personally check it, so as not to completely lose control of Liu Zhenwei.
"Ah Luo, the role of Zhang Meng and Wang Guxian ......" Liu Zhenwei suddenly considered: "Do you want to add more to Zhang Meng, after all, we ...... cooperate with Yongsheng"
According to Liu Zhenwei's understanding, Wang Guxian is Miss Fang's person, and he has nothing to do with the Red Flower Society or Yongsheng. But Zhang Meng is different, as we all know, she is Mr. Xiang's girlfriend, and it stands to reason that she should give more scenes.
In this regard, Chen Jialuo shook his head and smiled: "There's no need, you cut Wang Guxian's role, be careful that Miss Fang asks us to settle accounts." β
