Returning from the Peninsula Hotel, Chen Jialuo began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in his study non-stop.

"Hah, I found it!"

I saw Chen Jialuo holding a book and screaming, and then he couldn't wait to read it.

The book "Smiling Proud Jianghu", whether in the past life or in this life, is a classic that countless martial arts fans talk about.

Tomorrow will go to Xu You's film studio to report, Chen Jialuo naturally hopes to bring his own work and successfully direct a landmark film.

Throughout the early 80s to the present, there are almost no traces of martial arts movies in the top 20 box office of Xiangjiang movies over the years. It can be said that in this time period, martial arts movies are dead.

Even if the martial arts TV series is booming and has attracted countless people to be fascinated by it, no director is still willing to take the risk to shoot. It's not just because of the length of time, it's because no one dares to try to innovate.

Every time a phenomenal movie appears, then you don't have to worry about the next period of time, countless follow-up works will emerge, leaving you at a loss.

The simplest example is last year's "Mr. Zombie", and since then there has been a 'zombie movie' on the big screen almost every few weeks.

Another feature is to make a sequel, once a movie is popular, the company will tap the potential of the movie, for fear of missing a penny. But most of the sequels are mostly dogtail sequels.

Like the "Best Partner" series and the "Five Lucky Stars" series, there are only so many word-of-mouth works.

Xu You dared to innovate and filmed "Xinshu Mountain Swordsman" when he was in Jiashang, as the first sci-fi martial arts film in Hong Kong to hire a "Star Wars" stunt team to support stunt shots, which is of epoch-making significance.

The film is most praised for its imaginative special effects, which changed the concept of traditional kung fu films as "just fighting around", and is therefore regarded as a milestone in the history of special effects in Hong Kong's films.

Prior to this, all kung fu movies were hard bridges and hard horses, and every move and style was particularly distinct.

But in the final analysis, Xu You only won the attention of the Hollywood special effects team, in fact, the result of the big investment is a loss, judging from the box office, the audience does not buy it, and the reputation is very poor.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu You left Jiashang and came to Yidu Film Company to start a brilliant road.

But Xu has the current glorious road, and it has nothing to do with martial arts films. innovated to the streets, and naturally no one dared to try martial arts films anymore.

You must know that no one will do a money-losing business, even if it is your father, losing his two shops will block you financially.

As a director, he only cares about innovation and doesn't care about the box office, which is an act of looking for death.

Other directors are afraid because of the unknown. But Chen Jialuo is not afraid, as a traverser, he knows very well that after the rise of new martial arts movies, it can be said that it is out of control.

In the previous life, as the pioneering work of new martial arts movies, it was "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Even if Chen Jialuo's brain does not have the characteristics of a memory disk, it is difficult for him to forget this movie.

"Huh~" roughly flipped through "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Chen Jialuo smiled: "The names of the characters are the same, and the content is not much different." ”

The movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can be said to be covered with a layer of novel skin, 80% of the content is innovative, and it has received countless praises, which is enough to show that it is excellent.

Such a landmark movie, Chen Jialuo naturally does not intend to let it go. And if he rejuvenates martial arts movies, his position in the Xiangjiang film circle will also be blessed.

"It's you, my "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!"

Chen Jialuo screamed strangely, and didn't care about 3721, picked up the pen and decided to get the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" out first.

As for the copyright issues of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", as well as investment issues, etc., you need to wait to meet Xu You before discussing.

Copyright issues?

It is said that Xu You and the boss of "Xin Ming Pao", the famous martial arts master Mr. Cha, are still friends. With him in the background, the copyright of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" should not be a problem.

Especially when this martial arts movie is in decline, Mr. Cha must also be willing to see his works reappear on the big screen!

As for investment, Chen Jialuo is the least worried.

Yidu Film Company's films, after "Best Partner" broke the record, the subsequent films were all big shots, big scenes, spending a lot of money and playing with high technology.

The characters in the urban action comedies produced by Yidu often show a strong desire to destroy, and they do not feel sorry when destroying their belongings. In terms of subjective motivation, this may be because the artist wants to "smash" the money in the open. In terms of objective effect, with the rapid development of the economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, the psychological pressure of Xiangjiang people is getting greater and greater, and the action scenes of destroying property can allow the audience to vent their inner anxiety and relieve mental pressure.

In the movie, various big explosions, multi-car collisions, helicopters chasing speedboats, cars leaping between rooftops and other big scenes enhance the visual impact of the film, improve the enjoyment of the film, and let the audience experience the pleasure that the TV screen cannot bring.

Many Yidu movies like to go to all over the world to shoot, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to invite the 'emperor superstar' of this period to shoot, and it can be said that they do it at any cost when playing special effects, and this strategy is also a key to Yidu standing out.

With the support of such a company, Xu You's film studio has just been a big success, and Mr. Lei is definitely willing to increase investment.

So in terms of funds, Chen Jialuo is still very confident.

As for the actors, if "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can be officially established and filmed, Chen Jialuo will naturally find a way to bring together the actors who he thinks are the most suitable to shoot the perfect "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in his heart.

For someone else, it is a fantasy to be ready to be a director with joy and joy based on a script.

However, for Chen Jialuo, as long as he comes up with a convincing script and a reasonable budget, it is still easy to direct a movie.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Jialuo rushed to the office of the film studio with the script that he had spent his mind and revised countless times yesterday.

Originally, the film studio was also located in the Cathay Pacific Building, and Yidu moved from a small 1,000-square-foot office to a 20,000-square-foot office on the second floor of the top floor, and a small studio was still separated.

However, I don't know if there was a hint from heaven that when the seven giants of the art capital fell apart, the Cathay Pacific Building would also be completely renovated, and the notice to move out had already been issued.

Therefore, Xu You took the opportunity to move his film studio to the nearby Xingmei Building. The sparrow is small but has all the organs, and more importantly, everything here is in your own hands, and no one can tell you anything.
