Chapter Ninety-Six: Win Back

"Actually, brother, why bother! Many times business is business, and friendship is friendship. For things like this, it's most practical for you to say hello to Boss Lei, there's no need to come forward to quarrel yourself, I don't know and think you're 'getting carried away' now!"

According to his thoughts, with Xu Qing's current situation, who would dare to really change the schedule of the film studio's works? As long as Mr. Lei didn't nod, even Maijia wouldn't dare to mess around like this.

Xu Wei smiled bitterly: "Ah Luo, Mr. Lei's health has not been good recently, so why bother him with these things!"

Chen Jialuo suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Xu Qian sighed: "In fact, the bald guys are gradually changing, but it's a pity that everyone's hearts are no longer together." ”

In terms of film genre, New Arts City has always focused on comedy films, and has made extensive, in-depth and diversified attempts in this field. Comedy has a long history in Xiangjiang, as early as the 50s of the last century, Phoenix Pictures Company filmed a number of urban comedies.

In the 70s, Shaw Brothers' "72 Tenants" and Xu Guanwen's "Ghost Horse Double Star" and "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" and other films further set off a boom in "small citizen comedy".

As a result, Heung Kong has a mature creative team, rich production experience and a stable audience in the field of comedy.

At that time, New Arts City's focus on comedy was a wise strategy to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses.

In addition to comedy, another of the most mature genres of Xiangjiang movies is action movies. New Arts City integrates the genre elements of comedy and action films, and produces urban action comedies such as "Ghost Horse Wisdom Multi-Star" and "Best Partner" series, achieving a strong combination in the sense of genre.

Perhaps inspired by the blockbuster hits of Li Hanxiang's Fengyue comedy in the 70s of the last century, Xinyicheng abandoned asceticism in urban action comedies, and added a lot of plots of romance, jealousy, flirting, and provocative surnames.

In the fight scenes, New Arts City usually does not imitate Bruce Lee's hard bridges and hard horses, real fights, but uses movie stunts and mechanical props to create big scenes and create visual spectacles.

Although the positive characters are agile and can punch and kick, they often do not rely on real kung fu, but rely on high-tech equipment to win, or rely on wisdom or even cleverness to defeat the enemy, or use pranks to trick the opponent, create jokes, and amuse the audience.

Speaking of which, Xinyicheng is indeed very successful in terms of genre strategy, but it imprisons the ideas of many directors.

One of the representatives, Xu Xian, is such a director who hopes to be innovative. The stubbornness of the 'Big Three' has a bit of a bit of a sticky taste in his eyes.

Therefore, he took advantage of Zeng Zhiwei's incident and took the opportunity to independently set up a film studio to shoot movies of his own ideas.

With the rise of movies such as "The True Color of Heroes", as well as various contradictions within the new art city, Mai Jia and others are indeed gradually changing, as Xu Meng said. Take this year as an example, the output of Xinyicheng is very low, and "Dragon and Tiger" and other films are all heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the main focus is the sequel to "The True Colors of Heroes" by the film studio.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of "A Chinese Ghost Story", this year's New Arts City might be overwhelmed by film companies such as Golden Harvest and Debao before Christmas.

This year has been a very difficult year for Xinyicheng. But for Chen Jialuo, this year is a year of great strength. The sluggishness of the new art city has directly led to the reflection of the Golden Princess Cinema Line being more focused on film studios.

As for Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures or other satellite companies under the Golden Princess Cinema, they are still far from film studios.

……

Now that the scheduling problem has been solved, Chen Jialuo has been busy again around the post-production of "Prison Storm".

The movie was released at Christmas, and the commercials were already in full swing. The paparazzi want to guard Chen Jialuo every day to make a 'big news', but unfortunately this guy has been hiding in the company and it is difficult to see people.

"Brother Luo, come and take a look, if there is no problem, I am ready to edit it again. After re-editing, Wu Huo said to Chen Jialuo.

Chen Jialuo watched it carefully and repeatedly, although it was only a rough cut version of each set of shots put together in order, but probably the story was already relatively clear. After everyone's efforts to correct, a lot of goofs and details have been dealt with.

"Brother Luo, I heard that our opponent this time is very strong!"

Chen Jialuo was busy with post-production, and his ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window. But Wu Huo, a young man, has often watched reports in the entertainment movie section recently.

"It's very powerful. ”

Although Chen Jialuo didn't pay too much attention to other people's movies, he was deeply impressed by Golden Harvest's movie "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" in his memory.

This film can be said to be one of Fang Long's most successful film models during the 80s, traveling around the world, playing kung fu and taking the route of commercial comedy, which became a broad road for his films to go to the world.

The film was filmed in Yugoslavia and Eastern European countries, with a huge investment, and the director invited Zeng Zhiwei, a genius who was originally the master of the new art city, to cross the knife, starring his friend Alan Tam and the newly rising Guan Da beauty and the Spanish beauty Laura Funa to set up a star stove.

The plot of the film is witty, with gags between old friends, and a strong color of comedy in Xinyicheng, which is very different from Fang Long's previous comedies, which is naturally Zeng Zhiwei borrowing the corpse to resurrect his soul.

At the same time, the fledgling Chen Kexing served as a producer in the film, formed a deep friendship with Zeng Zhiwei and President Tan, and later cooperated to establish a good friend film company and set up a team together.

Everyone knows that Fang Long's films are notoriously fatal, and one of the most well-known scenes is that during the filming of a movie in Yugoslavia, he had to jump from a castle to a tree 3 meters away, and then slide down a slope.

Unfortunately, due to a slippery hand, he could not grasp the tree and fell to the ground 15 meters in the air, and when he fell, he tripped over a branch and hit his head on the ground, resulting in a rupture of the middle ear bone and the accumulation of blood pus in his right ear cavity.

When the filming of "Prison Storm" was in full swing, the news that Fang Long almost lost his life while making a movie in Yugoslavia swept the entertainment section of Southeast Asia. This kung fu superstar is paired with the comedic style of Xinyicheng, which will find it tricky for anyone who comes across it.

"Brother Luo, needless to say, "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". Wu Huo never thought that "Prison Storm" would dare to compete with Fang Long's movie, and said: "The main thing is "Jianghu Love 2 Heroes" and "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight", both of which are also starring Fa Ge ......"

"Jianghu Love 2 Heroes" came quickly, although the first "Jianghu Love" had a mediocre reputation, it was posted by Zhou Run, and won 2000W at the box office, and the second part started filming almost seamlessly.

As for "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight", it is Zhou Runfa partnering with the old drama bone Deng Guangrong, but Zhou Yanfa should be regarded as playing Deng Guangrong, and the plot is an old-fashioned Xiangjiang gangster film.

Chen Jialuo really didn't pay attention to the rest of the movies, and said: "I am willing to cut my body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse." Ah Huo, have faith in yourself. "A Chinese Ghost Story" lost to Fang Long's "Plan A Sequel", this time we have to win it back!"
