Chapter 118: Advanced Lazy Cancer
What is it like for a really good movie to become popular? If you simply take how superb the acting skills of Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui and others, and even the wonderful performances of those supporting roles have become household names, it seems that Chen Jialuo's movies lack a little bit.
What's missing? It's the soundtrack and the interlude.
The previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" made the theme songs of the same name "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Don't Come at Dawn" and even the wild and vulgar "Dao Dao Dao" popular.
Now this popular "Prison Storm" has not disappointed. Whether it is "Light of Friendship" or "Full of Hope" in it, it was included in the debut album of "Xiangjiang Fengyun".
The album was almost deliberately tied to Prison Storm and released at the same time. In just over ten days, Maria's debut album sales have surpassed the gold record, and it is only one step away from the platinum record.
The theme song of the album "Light of Friendship", with the popularity of "Prison Storm", it became well-known, and Maria became the leading female singer in Hong Kong, which can be described as a fantastic start.
In fact, when recording these songs, director Chen Jialuo came to the company's recording studio. Although I sang inside, I paid attention to Director Chen Jialuo standing outside. If his expression changed, I would choose to re-record it. ”
"I haven't heard of a few directors going to the studio to listen to the singer's recording, most of them wait for the singer to record a sample tape and send it over, and if they don't think it's appropriate, they will send it back. Of course, it may also be because he wrote the lyrics and music for these songs......
Maria and Luo Zhi, the owner of Silver Star Records, were interviewed by the media, and when they mentioned a benefactor like Chen Jialuo, they were naturally full of praise. More than a compliment, in their opinion, without the song "Light of Friendship", the album would have been at least half in half in terms of sales.
If Chen Jialuo was a rising potential star in the Hong Kong film industry, then now he is enough to be proud of most Hong Kong directors. Whether it is a single film box office or the word-of-mouth of the film, he is worthy of the word director.
In addition, he can write scripts and create songs, such a new generation of Xiangjiang talents, with the endorsement of the old-timer Huang Zhan, are in the limelight for a while.
The media began to 'chase and intercept' the members of the crew of "Prison Storm".
Compared with Chen Jialuo, who lives in a simple place, Zhou Yunfa is more straightforward, he and Leslie Cheung and others, under the leadership of Wu Yusen, participated in the Asia-Pacific Film Festival with the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", so people are not in Xiangjiang at all.
In fact, even if you are here, there are not many opportunities to interview Zhou Yunfa, a busy person. Because he has received too many movies and a full schedule, ordinary artists can't hold it up at all. Now that "Prison Storm" has once again pushed him to the altar of acting, and the box office appeal has increased greatly, I am afraid that the film will have more dates.
As for Liang Jiahui, who was banned by the Taiwan Cultural Bureau to the point where there was no drama to film, he really entered the eyes of the people of Xiangjiang.
If he hadn't been taken to the mainland by Li Hanxiang to make movies, he might have been a good actor by now, of course, he might be worthless.
Anyway, "Prison Storm" is based on Lu Jiayao starring Liang Jiahui, and it is not too much to say that he is the same male number one as Zhou Yanfa, the only difference is the character image.
Although Liang Jiahui's role is not as likable as Zhou Runfa, his acting skills can't even be covered up by Zhou Runfa.
On the third day after the release of "Prison Storm", four or five directors came to the door, hoping that they could star in each other's new films.
"Actually, I was working as a stall at the time, and my income was much higher than that of ordinary clerks. I don't have much idea about what to do, it's like watching a training class, being a model, and later being an actor, all of which have a feeling of going with the flow. ”
"What do you think of some film critics saying that your acting skills are not inferior to Zhou Runfa?"
"Fa Ge's acting skills are not said, I still need to work hard. I am self-aware of this, and when I was filming on the spot, the director would let me watch Fa Ge's acting and learn from it. ”
"What is your impression of Chen Jialuo?"
"Everyone else is fine, although they are not very old, they are so deterrent on the set. When the movie was filmed, it was natural to say the same, and the directors were like this, they were powerful when they should be powerful, and they scolded when they should be scolded. As for filming, he is not much different from an ordinary offspring, I am so grateful to him for giving me this opportunity, thanks to director Chen Jialuo. ”
participated in a talk show, Liang Jiahui was full of praise for his two benefactors, Zhou Yunfa and Chen Jialuo.
"Prison Storm" completely turned him over, and also made Xu Mian, who slapped the table in Xinyi City, raise his eyebrows.
It is not easy for a film to win over audiences and critics. The reason why you can succeed, in addition to the fact that the movie is really good, is that people can see your intentions. is like Fang Long jumping off a building, jumping off a cliff, and jumping a hot air balloon, this is the benchmark of dedication in action movies.
Some people joke that Chen Jialuo can shoot the relationship between the female ghost and the scholar in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and now he can shoot the two men in "Prison Storm" with sparks, which is really emotional.
……
The popularity of "Prison Storm" has given many people in front of and behind the scenes more opportunities. Compared with their busyness, Chen Jialuo is a little good.
"Arlo, if you change the director, now I can't wait to go out every day for interviews, and make it uncomfortable for those who were waiting to see the jokes. You're good, you showed your teeth and claws before the release, and disappeared after the release. ”
Xu Xian, who hadn't seen Chen Jialuo in person for a long time, scolded with a smile and said: "The publicity plan of the new Malaysia and Thailand, you see ......."
"Brother Mi, everyone recognizes actors but not directors, what am I going to do...... It's good that you can arrange someone to lead the team!" Chen Jialuo heard this, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
To put it bluntly, Xiangjiang will be filled with gossip and various news about him as a director, and there are almost no people who know him in other places outside of Xiangjiang and Taiwan. Go there to do publicity, it's enough to have Zhou Runfa alone.
"I know you're too lazy to go, I've already arranged it. Xu Meng had a plan and said: "Recently, many film companies in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have come to the door and said that they want to invest in your film. Will the contract you signed fall into the hands of Yongsheng?"
Shengle Wu Shibin was shot, the company contract was robbed, and the media wrote that there was a nose and an eye. Although they did not name names, they all alluded to being taken away by Xinji and falling into the hands of Yongsheng.
