Chapter 70 The Direction of Public Opinion

"A Chinese Ghost Story" exceeded 28 million at the box office in Hong Kong, surpassing "Autumn Fairy Tale". Another blockbuster film from the film studio has swept Southeast Asia......"

"Taiwan, RB and other regions have set off a boom, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been well received, and they have said that this ghost film adapted from "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is eye-catching!"

"Chen Jialuo's new work is suspected to be in the process of filming, and Zhou Jin may play the starring role. Since "Mong Kok Night" hit the street, he once again joined hands with Chen Jialuo to strive for high-quality products. ”

"Xiangjiang should have more filmmakers like Chen Jialuo, instead of blindly following the trend. Facts have proved that as long as you have a good script, well-filmed and well-made, even if you don't have a big cast, you can still create a classic. ”

"The success of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not only the success of a movie, but also proves that Hong Kong filmmakers can shoot multi-element themes. ”

……

With the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exceeding 28 million in Xiangjiang, it has become the second largest movie in the summer file after "Plan A Sequel", which instantly amazed the media people in Xiangjiang. In particular, this ingenious work swept Southeast Asia in a different way, causing a movie-watching boom among people in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and exporting different Hong Kong films overseas, winning countless praises.

In particular, many film critics in Hong Kong have issued a call for more innovation in Hong Kong filmmakers, instead of blindly following the trend to shoot fashion action comedy films. Aside from some literary films, Xiangjiang movies should not become a vaudeville action comedy, but should bloom in many aspects.

Chen Jialuo, who had been hacked by the Xiangjiang media, had a rare feeling of being touted.

can be regarded as taking advantage of this trend of touting, and the matter of Chen Jialuo's preparation for a new film has gradually been released. And it is now the popular Zhou Jin who plays the leading role, and the media reporters naturally formed a wind to ask Zhou Jin.

However, Zhou Jin was busy filming and had no time to be interviewed by media reporters. In addition, Chen Jialuo did not stand up to speak, and he was caught by the paparazzi by chance, and he was ambiguous and did not give a clear answer.

For a while, reporters expressed curiosity about Chen Jialuo's new film. What kind of movie will be the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story" that is about to start?

It seems that this Chen Jialuo is going to make a maverick movie again.

In the conference room of the film studio, there is smoke at this time, and if the reporters see it, they probably can't wait to start the interview.

Zhang Shuping, an art director who returned from studying in Canada, Liu Haitang, a photographer who rose to prominence with "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Fang, a costume designer, and Wu Huo, who became an assistant director from executive director, gathered together.

"Brother Ping, I didn't expect us to work together again. Chen Fang sat next to Zhang Shuping and said with a smile: "This time it's all prison uniforms, you don't have much chance to find fault with it!"

When Zhang Shuping heard this, he scolded with a smile: "I'm going to give you a headache for a few days." ”

"Haha......"

In fact, Chen Fang and Zhang Shuping are also old friends, and they also had a cooperative relationship with Tan Jiaming's two movies. In Chen Fang's view, Zhang Shuping is as demanding as Chen Jialuo's requirements for movies in terms of art direction, even the details of a pattern have to be changed and redone.

"I heard that Mr. Chen is very popular on the set?" Zhang Shuping asked as he looked at others.

"It's just that the requirements during the filming are more stringent, in fact, it's not as exaggerated as the outside world says!" Liu Haitang, as the person who communicated with Chen Jialuo the most, explained: "To put it bluntly, the chief helmsman is striving for excellence, and he has always been a good gentleman if there is no problem with shooting." ”

Zhang Shuping smiled and said: "That's good, I'm really afraid that there will be scolding in my ears every day......"

"A few big guys, are you talking bad about me behind my back? Just when everyone was chatting happily, Chen Jialuo took Xu Chang into the conference room.

The young Wu Huo was the first to jump out and quipped: "Brother Luo, they say that you are scolding people at every turn on the set." ”

"I'm so gentle and elegant, don't let Shuping misunderstand. Chen Jialuo waved his hand and said.

Many of the people here are old friends who have worked with him in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and everyone knows his personality very well. Therefore, he still focused on explaining to Zhang Shuping and others, and said: "Actually, I am very good at talking. ”

"The reason why I sometimes get angry on the set is not aimed at anyone at all. For example, which actor doesn't play well, it doesn't matter, it's a matter of acting, take your time. But if I'm careless and don't work hard when shooting, then I'm going to get angry. The other lights, props, photography, and so on, are all the same. ”

"Shooting a shot is a laborious and expensive thing, and you can't just make everyone have to start over again because of some small negligence. This is unfair to others. I think filmmakers are very special professions, and since you eat this bowl of rice, you have to eat it with peace of mind, right? I hate such a person who doesn't care about work, causing a crew to suffer. ”

Although Chen Jialuo is not very old, his prestige has long been established. When I was in the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I was above Chen Xiaodong, and everyone could see that this posterior boy should not be underestimated.

Now that these words are said, Liu Haitang and other old filmmakers are sitting upright and listening to him carefully.

After Chen Jialuo finished speaking, Chen Fang opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and said: "Chief helmsman, you are not on the set yet! ”

"Haha......"

Chen Jialuo also couldn't help but smile: "Three days later, the machine will officially start to worship God, and the local prosecutor's office and the punishment office have already negotiated." For filming, let's go to Stanley Prison. If anyone doesn't care, I'll lock them up there!"

"Fear, Helmsman, don't be intimidating. ”

"From the day after tomorrow, it will be easy to come and go in the wind and rain again. ”

……

Laughing is laughing, but "Prison Storm" is different from "A Chinese Ghost Story" after all, this is a realistic movie theme. Everyone believes in Chen Jialuo's directing ability, but does he really know about gangsters and prisons?

Basically, to shoot this kind of movie, you must invite a whitewashed big brother to be a special consultant. But judging from today's meeting, Chen Jialuo does not seem to have invited special advisers.

In this regard, Chen Jialuo said: "Special consultants don't need to be invited, and the actors I invited this time can be regarded as true characters for the roles. So during the filming, if you have any questions, just discuss them directly. ”
