"Wow, Haitang, you don't go to the set, you can't watch the Book of Horses in the company!" Chen Jialuo came to the company after lunch, and saw Liu Haitang lying on the table studying the Book of Horses.

"Big guy, didn't you go either. ”

Liu Haitang smiled, raised the horse in his hand and said, "Are you interested in buying it with me?"

Chen Jialuo was not interested in this and said, "No." ”

Hong Kong is a city with a passion for horse racing, and if you go out for a meal, go shopping, and catch a roadside, you might be a horse fan. It is not an exaggeration to say that people are crazy about horses.

"Dancing and dancing, horses running", this sentence comes from Grandpa Deng's commitment to Hong Kong after the return to the motherland, and it will still be a true portrayal of Hong Kong people's life until the future, and betting on horses has become an indispensable part of their lives.

Therefore, in the film, the scenes of grassroots and civilians studying the horse scripture are everywhere.

He once played the lovely boss of Jackie Chan in the "Police Story" series, the timid and fat husband in the "Rich and Powerful" series, Dong Bi, nicknamed "Uncle Bi", has been engaged in horse training for three generations, and grew up playing with horses, and knows a lot about horse classics.

Another example is Zhou Yanfa, who once complained that Director Wang Jing was not serious about filming on the set and watching Ma Jing.

Liu Dehua even exposed the filming of a movie directed by Wang Jing, basically the actors can't see him, where did he go? Of course, did he go to the racecourse to see the horses, it is rare to have Liu Dehua's role, and he will appear on the set for a while.

Therefore, it can be seen that Hong Kong people are very enthusiastic about betting on horses, and Liu Haitang also looks at the Book of Horses when he has nothing to do.

Chen Jialuo teased: "With Lao Du here, you are much more relaxed!"

"What's easy, tired and tired, there are so many things in the company, by the way, are you sure you want to invest in a new film?" Liu Haitang said in disbelief: ""The Birth of a Word" is handed over to You Dazhi and Wu Huo, can you rest assured?"

Chen Jialuo spread his hands and said: "What is there to worry about, and I don't care about it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Haitang showed a knowing smile and said: "That's right, you are from Xinyi City, and you have long been accustomed to 'paper airplanes'." ”

Wu Huo and You Dazhi in this period are like directors such as Du Qifeng, Liang Puzhi, and Gao Zhisen in the early days, and behind them, there are seven people such as Mai Jia, Shi Yan, and Huang Baiming, who are just the ones who carry out the order.

Otherwise, you think that Mai Jia and Xu Wei are in charge of so many movies, and even occasionally make cameos or even star in some movies, if all their energy is dragged into one movie, then they can really only be a director.

So for Liu Haitang's statement, Chen Jialuo was noncommittal and said: "I plan to let Liu Dehua play the leading role in the new film, and I negotiated it with the boss Xiang at the beginning." ”

Liu Haitang was a little surprised: "Liu Dehua?"

Although Liu Haitang didn't know what type of new film Chen Jialuo was preparing to make, he never expected to find Liu Dehua at this time.

Liu Dehua does have some momentum now, there are several movies released this year, and the box office is very impressive, and it has gradually left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience, but this is also the impression of a handsome guy.

But when it comes to acting, several movies starring Liu Dehua have a very average or even poor reputation. Even if Zhang Xueyou shines in "Mong Kok Carmen", Liu Dehua's acting skills are still criticized very Liu Dehua......

Liu Dehua in this period is either pretending to be deep and handsome, or he is working very hard to play treasure and engage in comedy, but when it comes to him, many viewers may say that he acted in TV series, such as "The Condor Heroes", rather than a movie......

In the evaluation of an actor's acting skills, there are actually many details. The sense of character image, the grasp of the rhythm of language, the tension of local details, and the analysis of inner drama.

To put it simply, it is whether the character created by the actor can "deceive" the audience's eyes, so that the audience cannot perceive the process of "acting".

It is not difficult to deceive the audience, but the big one is to deceive industry insiders and even the judges of some awards!

But Liu Dehua can't even deceive the audience now, but he can't be said to be completely capable, let alone truthfully restore the life of the character.

In the eyes of many people, Chen Jialuo picks actors in an eclectic manner, but the important roles picked out and even many unsightly supporting roles are all explosive acting skills.

Liu Dehua: Obviously he didn't shoot it!

Looking at Liu Haitang's questioning eyes, Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "I wasn't threatened by the boss, he came in, because there was no role at all, and he didn't say that I would add a role to her." He doesn't make movies to praise women, but to make money. ”

"Then how did you come up with the idea of looking for Liu Dehua? He has box office appeal, but it's average. Liu Haitang said.

"There are strong box office appeals, Zhou Runfa, Xu Guanjie, Fang Long, Hong Jinbao, ......"

"Stop, stop, stop. ”

Listening to Chen Jialuo read out the names one by one, Liu Haitang suddenly smiled wryly: "We don't have a backer now." ”

"But that's it, we can't smash our reputation!" Liu Haitang muttered.

Chen Jialuo rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you that I want to shoot "Dragon Family" or "Best Friend" and the like......

At present, when it comes to Liu Dehua, it is his recent works, which are indeed a bit vulgar and have been condemned. However, the same vulgarity, through the hands of different directors, presents different results.

"Dragon Family" rushed to his grandmother's house, but Wang Jing's "Best Friend" won a big victory, which also made Liu Dehua turn around.

In fact, this is the charm of commercial films.

Most of the films that flood theaters are commercial films, and the mainstream performance style of commercial films is popular, exaggerated, and easy to understand, which conflicts very much with the performance evaluation standards of art films.

So you can see that for quite a long time, the best actor and actress in commercial films often went home empty-handed at film festivals, while those low-budget film performance artists with a deep analysis of human nature returned with a full load.

Everyone knows that if you want to make money, make commercial films, and if you want to win awards, make literary films. Now that Chen Jialuo's words are so clear, Liu Haitang already knows very well that Chen Jialuo wants to use Liu Dehua to make commercial films in the real sense.

On the other hand, "The Birth of a Word" is actually the bone of literature and art, the skin of commerce, and it can be said to be Chen Jialuo's experimental work.

"But our company has no money now, and it may not even be enough to shoot "The Birth of a Word"! Could it be that your new film is going to be wholly owned by Yongsheng? Or are we just making one for them?"

Liu Haitang remembered the accounts of the Red Flower Society, and reminded with a bitter face: "We still need a big housekeeper!"
