Chapter 204: There is a Covenant

"The success of a movie is a combination of various factors, and the shock brought by Hollywood special effects is certainly one of them. The publicity of the new art city is also indispensable. So no matter how you say it, there is a reason for him, and there is no need to dwell on it. ”

"The real success of the movie is best expressed at the box office. Speaking of this, Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "If the audience doesn't like it, what's the use of Hollywood's special effects no matter how realistic they are?

"Then ...... literary films"

Without waiting for Long Xiaomi to finish speaking, Chen Jialuo waved his hand and said: "I understand what you mean, it's just that the genre is different, what I said applies to commercial films! Since you choose to make a literary film and know that it is a niche movie, there is naturally no need to mutter about how the box office is, how it is, you should have been mentally prepared when you start filming." ”

Long Xiaomi smiled and laughed, Chen Jialuo's remarks were actually the opinions of many people, he didn't dwell on this, and asked instead: "When you were filming "Prison Storm", everyone said that they saw a river and a lake, a kind of affection, how did you think of shooting such a movie?"

Chen Jialuo said bluntly: "Because gangster movies are very popular now, I want to make money! Then I don't want to follow the trend, but I feel that it is difficult to break through Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" for the time being, and finally decided to look at the problem from a different angle, which is why "Prison Storm" was born. ”

"Filming "Prison Storm", I feel like I am making a modern martial arts film. My gangster movies are probably from martial arts films in spirit, and in terms of action design, I am also influenced by very early Hong Kong martial arts films. At the beginning, under the recommendation of many seniors in TVB, I became obsessed with watching martial arts movies, and I was deeply influenced by directors Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan.

Especially in the plays directed by Zhang Che, in addition to reflecting a kind of masculinity, his plays emphasize loyalty and chivalry...... For example, he describes a spirit of sacrifice, one person injures several people, has a lot of knives on his body, and sheds a lot of blood, he uses a slow motion to express it in detail, using a kind of power to express it.

……

So far, I have used a lot of symbolism to make this movement more prominent.

The so-called movement, the so-called violence, for me is the dance, the beauty of the movement, the firing of bullets, the sound effect, the rhythm of the movie.

I used this a lot when I was filming "Mong Kok Night".

In addition to beautifying the action, if I want to show the so-called sacrificial spiritual realm at that moment, I like to shoot my hero film actor very slowly, especially his action performance at that time, I like to use slow motion, slow motion is very attractive to me.

My films have always preached morality and justice, good and evil, although several people died, but what you see is not bloody violence, but the call of beauty shown by human affection and righteousness in violence. ”

Listening to Chen Jialuo's explanation of his 'gangster movie', Long Xiaomi did not argue with him on this issue, although he did not agree with many of Chen Jialuo's views on movies.

"So Arlo, you have worked with so many actors, which of these actors who do you think has performed the most perfectly?"

"I admire the intelligence of everyone I work with, they are very perfect in the whole picture! So, in my films, my shots are sometimes very long, and they should have been cut in post, but I am reluctant to cut them, so that people can see that in these shots, the lighting design is so good, and this art contains deeper ideas......" Chen Jialuo's answer is like playing Tai Chi, but it is not saying his heart!

Long Mi nodded and asked, "What if you have to choose one?"

"There's no choice, it's definitely Zhou Runfa!" Chen Jialuo spread his hands and said: "The actor who won the Academy Award is still the best actor you gave the title, and you asked me what to do." ”

In fact, when this question is asked, Long Xiaomi himself knows the answer in his heart. As far as the actors who have worked with Chen Jialuo are concerned, Leung Jiahui, Leslie Cheung and others are still a little immature, and they still need to exercise their acting skills more than Zhou Yan's hair.

As for Wang Guxian and others, in Long Xiaomi's view, it is more of a suspicion of vases. Of course, Chen Jialuo is very good, and he is great at being able to place the vase just right, which is unforgettable.

Of course, that's all there is to doing interviews. Many questions are clearly answered by the same person, but they still have to be asked and waited for the other party to answer them in person.

Questions like this, if you put it to a bad entertainment reporter, maybe the headline will appear: Chen Jialuo bluntly said that only Zhou Yunfa is worthy of his own play, and everyone else is too far behind......

Only when doing interviews with people like Long Xiaomi, Chen Jialuo will not deliberately avoid some questions, and will be happy to communicate more.

When Long Xiaomi got up and shook hands with Chen Jialuo and was about to say goodbye, this interview was like an old friend catching up, and it ended in a very relaxed environment.

The topics of the two range from the script of the movie to the soundtrack, from the selection of the male and female protagonists to the strict requirements during filming, but Chen Jialuo has almost nothing to talk about when it comes to issues related to film shooting, and there are no secrets.

Because of this, Long Xiaomi has a good impression of Chen Jialuo, a descendant.

Before leaving, Long Xiaoxiao asked with a smile: "It has been rumored that your Red Flower Club is about to open, when is it? ”

"Next Wednesday!"

"The editor-in-chief of Long University is the first person to know about the media, and he has to send a big flower basket when the time comes. Chen Jialuo joked.

Long Mi nodded and said, "Then leave me a good place then!"

……

It wasn't until Long Mi left that Chen Jialuo reacted: "It's so late, and I've been chatting with him for so long." ”

Talking about movies, Chen Jialuo is particularly devoted. This is the case with Long Xiaomi, and when I discussed the movie with Wu Huo and them before, it was the same, but now when Long Xiaomi comes, I suddenly realize.

"Ah Chang, tomorrow you notify you to go out, and you will say that the safflower will open on Wednesday. By the way, should I book at the Mandarin Hotel or the Prince Bay Hotel?"

"Okay. Ordered in Oriental Mandarin!"

"Okay, then I'll go, I'm tired and tired, and I'll get a good night's sleep tomorrow." ”

Chen Jialuo, who was sitting on the chair, had not stretched his waist yet, and Xu Chang on the side had already whispered: "Boss, tomorrow you will make an appointment with Miss Fang from TVB in the afternoon." ”
