Although Chen Jialuo is not very old, he seems to have opened his mind since "A Chinese Ghost Story". Ah Jin, I think although he has a bad temper, a lot of what he said to you is quite insightful. After you played Brother Xiaoma, you were too rigid in form, and the traces were too heavy. As Zhou Jin's agent, He Guoju naturally hopes that he can go further.

Zhou Jin thought about it seriously and nodded: "I also found that I have become more and more comfortable after the official start of filming, Ah Luo is indeed an excellent director, I have always thought so since "Mong Kok Night". ”

Although in "Mong Kok Night", Zhou Jin was sprayed with dog blood by Chen Jialuo at every turn, but it did make his acting skills stand out in the cage in the TV series. Even though Zhou Jin was already a big star in the TV series at that time, he didn't put on a stand when he met Chen Jialuo, who was stunned.

The box office of "Mong Kok Night" finally hit the streets, but Zhou Jin's acting skills were sublimated. Whether a director is capable or not, in fact, can be seen from training actors. And Chen Jialuo's movie hit the street, which only failed at the box office, but the reputation has always been very good.

"Let's go, it's time to shoot in the cage. ”

The staff are busy cleaning up, in fact, the filming of this scene is just a scene here. Stanley Prison is ready-made, and naturally there is no need to set up any scenery.

The filming of the whole movie was very easy for both the actors and the crew. The actors don't have to run around, drill in the deep mountains and forests, and the crew doesn't have to be busy cleaning up all day long, or even setting up the scene.

usually encounters such a relaxed crew, which is mostly a low-cost production. Of course, Chen Jialuo's movie is not a big production, at least in terms of the scene, it is actually very monotonous.

It's easy to be easy, but the things that need to be done, the drama and the staff are very diligent. Many people are paid on a daily and monthly basis, and they don't have to work hard, so the money will naturally be deducted.

"It's been a long time since it's been so easy, you don't have to run with a lot of stuff in the transition, it's comfortable!"

"Stanley's cage, hehe, I don't know how many murderous people have been locked up here before, do you want to lock you here tonight. ”

……

Compared to the previous movie transitions, this time it was much easier. Just run from the office area to the cage area, which is convenient and saves time. The prison building in Stanley Prison itself was vacated for renovation, and it happened to be used for filming "Prison Storm".

If it weren't for the coincidence of timing, Chen Jialuo's ambition to shoot in Stanley Prison this time would not have been achieved.

"I first shot all these simple and easy-to-get scenes, hoping to get Ah Jin and them all into the play. In this case, the subsequent shooting should not be too difficult. Chen Jialuo has his own plans in his heart, and he knows that he must find a way to substitute the actors into the movie for the advanced scenes.

This not only tests the director's skills, but also tests the actor's acting skills and the way he enters the play.

The next shots are the lives of Zhou Jin, Liang Guohui and others in the cage, and these scenes depicting the lives of prisoners play the finishing role in the whole film. It can make the audience feel the realism and have a better sense of substitution.

The scene that followed Chen Jialuo was called Sun Wei, and he had just stepped into the circle not long ago. He has been working in the film studio, and when he saw that Chen Jialuo was preparing to shoot "Prison Storm", he went to Chen Jialuo's office to recommend himself with the attitude of trying. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chen Jialuo's scene note, which made him, a young boy who had been doing chores on the set, suddenly feel like he had ascended.

In the past, my impression of Chen Jialuo came from newspapers and magazines and all kinds of gossip in the mouths of many colleagues, and it was not until I followed Chen Jialuo to prepare the crew that I knew the hard work of the chief helmsman, and even many times when I had a meeting in the middle of the night, Chen Jialuo would pull himself. If nothing else, just because the scene is a very important existence for a director.

Whether it's Hollywood in the United States or Xiangjiang Films, the story of the prison has always been a favorite subject for producers. There are many classics among many prison films, and "Prison Storm" can be called a representative work of Chinese prison-themed films.

The reason why Chen Jialuo chose this film as his first work is because it fits well with the film market in Hong Kong during this period.

"Prison Storm" is not as profound as "The Shawshank Redemption", nor is it full of human torture like "Green Miracle", and it is not like the black humor style of "The Three Kings Who Escaped from Prison". The film relies on realistic prison life and the emotional changes of the protagonist to evoke resonance with the audience.

As long as it can resonate with the audience, then its box office will be guaranteed first. On the premise of box office guarantee, shoot it well, then a movie that is both popular and blockbuster will naturally appear.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be swords and swords and bloody rain, and the prison is also a small river and lake, where there are three religions and nine streams in society, there are gangsters, street gangsters, both cunning and treacherous villains, and honest ordinary people.

Behind the surface of calm prison life is the survival rule of the jungle. Ah Zheng said to Ah Yao: "There are many elephants, tigers, and lions in this place..... and I am a monkey, you are a sheep, if we are not like being eaten by them, we must learn to be smart!"

Ah Zheng's words show the way of survival in the prison, survival in this small river and lake is the only purpose, in order to survive either choose to attach to the roof of the strong and be a loyal eagle dog, or you have to learn to be sleek and find a gap in the prison full of gangs.

Ah Zheng is a cheerful and easy-going person, in this small Jianghu, he is a special one, he does not participate in gang fights, nor will he be bullied by others at will, his smart mind and smooth eloquence are his way of survival.

However, this peaceful life was broken by the appearance of Ah Yao, Ah Yao is an honest man who is straightforward and fast-talking, and Ah Yao's simplicity touched Ah Zheng and the old fritters, and the two gradually became good friends and good brothers from the beginning of the confrontation. The friendship between him and Ah Yao has also become a tool for the film to mobilize the audience's emotions.

The reason why Chen Jialuo chose Zhou Jin and Leung Kwok-fai to play Zhong Tianzheng and Lo Ka-yiu is actually to use Zhou Jin's box office appeal to drive Leung Kwok-fai's growth. Although there are many actors who can portray these two characters, at present, Zhou Jin, who plays Zhong Tianzheng, is the most suitable.

As for Liang Guohui, Chen Jialuo is selfish. This is a multi-faceted person who was born to eat this bowl of rice, and he is an actor with backbone and blood, Chen Jialuo doesn't mind pulling him at this time.

As long as "Prison Storm" succeeds, then Liang Guohui will naturally jump out of the circle where he can only play the emperor at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

A director who can make stars, there will naturally be no shortage of actors who will flock to audition in the future, instead of begging to come and star one by one.
