"It's worthy of Hollywood's special effects team, and it's really a cut above us in terms of standards. Looking at the 'Mao O film', Chen Jialuo sighed: "Our Hong Kong films don't pay much attention to special effects now, and we can only ask for foreign aid if necessary, so we can't do it, we have to find a way to develop it." ”

In the editing room, Chen Jialuo patted Mai Zishan on the shoulder and said, "Maizi, you are a professional, but don't cut those special effects shots for me!"

Mai Zishan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Even if it destroys the smoothness, I will keep those shots." I believe that the audience will feel that it is worth the ticket price when they see such realistic special effects!"

"You've got a lot of vision!"

If really good special effects can indeed overshadow the plot, such as "Transformers", it doesn't matter if the plot is bad, as long as the special effects fight hard, the explosion doesn't stop, and it's cool to watch. Of course, if the plot can keep up, it will naturally be more successful.

Regarding Mai Zishan's editing, Chen Jialuo is not worried at all.

In Hong Kong movies, there are two names that appear most under the title of "editing", the earlier ones are mostly Zhang Yaozhang, and later they are almost all Mai Zishan.

Zhang Yaozhang is the queen editor of Golden Harvest, and Mai Zishan's name appears most in Xu Wei's films, his editing has become a kind of signboard, a sign, and a mark in Xu Wei's works.

Mai Zishan began to work in a film color printing company at the age of 14, and began to work as a film editor five years later, until the mid-80s, when he became Xu Qing's royal editor, he won the Academy Award for Best Editing for "Huang Feihong" and "Beast Detective", and his apprentices such as Lin An'er and others also became famous editors in Hong Kong.

Of course, Mai Zishan, who will have the reputation of "Hong Kong's No. 1 Scissors" in the future, has a life-changing trajectory in this time and space, but a earth-shaking deviation.

Mai Zishan has worked as a screenwriter and director, but since he edited a "League" in 1983, he has been completely 'unemployed'. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Chen Jialuo's appearance allowed him to regain his 'second spring', and he had the opportunity to become the editor of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2".

As a result, Mai Zishan became the first contracted editor of the Red Flower Club.

"Boss, here I think it is better to stitch with the third mirror of the eighth group......"

"Wait, don't cut here!"

"It's not easy for me to shoot that long shot, you, forget it, cut it however you want!"

……

As the fourth box office last year, the sequel to the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", which swept more than 32 million in Hong Kong, is destined to be highly anticipated from the moment it began to be filmed, and it can definitely be said to be one of the blockbusters of the year.

Leslie Cheung is no longer the king of the music industry who has no achievements in the film industry, but a first-line actor whose acting skills are quite recognized.

Wang Guxian is no longer the vase who only has scandals with male actors in every play, but has become the public goddess - Nie Xiaoqian.

Chen Jialuo is no longer the original scolded director who was scolded on the street, but the best director who has become the biggest winner of the Academy Awards.

The original team joined, Chen Jialuo personally directed, Chen Xiaodong put aside his old grudges and became the martial arts instructor again, from the moment he started to worship God, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" was expected by countless fans.

Now that the film is finally finished, it is busy with post-production, and it has also invited a Hollywood special effects team, which naturally makes the film critics in Xiangjiang begin to express various opinions and speculations in newspapers and magazines.

On the one hand, I really look forward to this blockbuster film that leads the trend of ghost fantasy movies, and on the other hand, it is naturally indispensable to advocate "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" to add points to the publicity techniques in the future.

Chen Jialuo, a maverick director, a genius who indulges Xu Xian.

Whether it is "A Chinese Ghost Story" or "Prison Storm", let us see the heart of Chen Jialuo as a director through the essence of these two movies.

He is a very personal and romantic director, with a chivalrous style, whether it is the underworld, prison guards or ordinary people like Zhong Tianzheng and Lu Jiayao in "Prison Storm", or Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian or Yan Chixia in "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is a romantic catharsis of his personal emotions.

I am very glad that when Chen Jialuo was a great success of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he forced the filming of the sequel because of the hot seller, but chose to break through again.

The higher box office of "Prison Storm" and the trend of prison hero films have shown us that there are so many more themes in the original movie, and there are so many more things we can make.

Maybe this is Xu Wei's preference for this young man, maybe everyone is from the new wave of movies, so they are extraordinarily indulgent.

Wu Yusen once said that he didn't want to rush to start filming the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", but Xu Yan took the lead and even started filming when the script was not perfect, which gave Chen Jialuo greater freedom to shoot.

What is this not preference?

And this preference is fully rewarded. Even though it is known that Chen Jialuo has set up his own film company, he still devotes himself to the work of Xu Qi's film studio, and never thinks about when his company will open.

Filming a sequel at great risk of failure is a reward for fame.

……

The entertainment edition of "Xin Ming Pao" took the lead in using a large-scale report to positively promote Chen Jialuo, and spared no effort to start building momentum for "A Chinese Ghost Story 2".

Although they haven't seen the official content of this new film yet, it is not too easy for them to advocate for Chen Jialuo! The excellent examples of the first part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Prison Storm" are there, and they can't boast too much.

Whether it is a hundred flowers blooming or a hundred birds contending, under their praise, Chan Ka-lok is the most representative figure at the end of the New Wave movement of Hong Kong films, and he is trying to break the inherent status quo and make films more diverse.

I don't know if the public relations strength of Golden Princess Entertainment Company is too strong, or the power of the Hong Kong film New Wave movement has not dissipated, in short, the movie has not been released yet, but some film critics and behind-the-scenes workers are extremely positive about Chen Jialuo's film.

As for "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", what is going on?

Compared with filmmakers and many film critics who expressed their expectations for "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", Hong Kong's entertainment reporters don't care about these at all. They haven't seen the movie, and they are not interested in expressing any opinions, and what really attracts them is all kinds of gossip.

For example, why did Xu Meng forcibly ask Wu Yusen to shoot the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", but indulged Chen Jialuo to play "Prison Storm", and even tolerated grabbing power in "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

Who doesn't know that several people from Xinyi City are all well-known 'dictators'. It's true that they got together to create together, but they separated because they had different views and ideas about the movie......
