Hong Kong filmmakers have an inseparable affection for Hong Kong films, probably because they miss the beautiful moments of the beginning.

In the 80s and 90s, Hong Kong films topped the whole of Asia and was known as the Hollywood of the East.

With the rapid development of the mainland's economy, most of the capital and hot money have flowed to the mainland, and the number of co-productions has increased, and the once glorious Hong Kong films have slipped to less than 20 films a year...

In 2009, there were only 13 pure Hong Kong movies!

This makes these veteran filmmakers very sad.

As a result, we can see that basically every year of the Hong Kong Film Awards, we can see the emcee Zeng Zhiwei crying bitterly, and all kinds of lamentations about how difficult Hong Kong movies are...

And then what?

Continue to be closed and resolutely do not allow the mainland film industry to enter Xiangjiang!

Of course, they also encourage and recommend new filmmakers, such as "Cold War", "Ignorance", "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" and "The Wind of the Tree" are all directed by a new generation of Hong Kong directors.

The actors also joined with a very low salary, or even no salary...

Rookie directors have no experience, it doesn't matter, the veteran driver will teach you step by step!

When "The Tree Moves the Wind" was filmed, Adu personally served as the producer;

In the mainland release of "Cold War", Liang Jiahui and Liu Tianwang contributed a lot;

When there was a problem with the editing of "Ignorance", Zeng Zhiwei also personally went into battle to teach newcomers how to edit...

Sometimes, you will feel that these people are really amazing, they can contribute to the revival of Hong Kong films, and those who can help will take a hand.

But if you put it in the whole Greater China region, or the entire Chinese film industry, you will feel that these people are really a little ignorant of current affairs.

Their slogan to the outside world is not Chinese filmmakers, but Hong Kong filmmakers!

Narrow-minded!

……

Liang Jiahui rejected Xu Hui's invitation.

Pao Hui is a little regretful, after all, he is an actor known as the actor with a thousand faces, and Xu Hui still wants to cooperate.

However, there are many actors in the circle, and there is one less Liang Jiahui, and you can also invite Zhang Jiahui...

Well, it's a joke!

Liang Jiahui's interpretation of Zhou Huai'an, chivalrous, cunning, love and righteousness, all three aspects, want to find another actor who can complete these three levels of interpretation, not to mention whether it can be done, the key is to have a preconceived idea, it is difficult for Xu Hui not to compare with the original!

Once the idea of comparison comes up, it is difficult for Xu Hui to make an objective evaluation - the reason why a classic is called a classic is not because it is irreplaceable.

Liang Jiahui doesn't play Zhou Huai'an, Xu Hui always has to find a suitable actor to go up!

Zhou Huai'an, the first element, hero!

According to this mold, Xu Hui thought of two actors, Nie Yuan and Li Yapeng.

The roles played by these two people, of course, the most impressive are the heroes they play, Hu Fei and Ling Huchong.

As for Li Yapeng's interpretation of Guo Jing, Jin Yong's fans refused!

In other words, since Nie Yuan left Huayi Brothers, he joined Bona and became one of the few actors with acting skills and fame under Bona.

It is said that Bona produces so many movies every year, Yu Dong has a close relationship with the directors of the Xiangjiang faction, and Nie Yuan is also a well-known actor, so it is time for him to take the position.

It's a pity that there is no chance, and the directors of Xiangjiang have their own favorites...

However, the bearded man obviously hasn't forgotten Nie Yuan, in the original casting of "The Condor Heroes", the bearded man was inclined to Nie Yuan, but unfortunately, the producer and investors value Brother Xiao Ming more, there is no way, Nie Yuan can only pass.

Therefore, the bearded "Journey to the West" did not forget Nie Yuan and gave him a good role, Tang Seng!

Nie Yuan's version of Tang Seng, how to say it, it's quite embarrassing, many viewers said that they were playing, and they were worried that Tang Seng would suddenly perform the 'Heaven Cutting Sword Technique'...

In the past few years, he has been very confused, probably because the year of water reversal has arrived, and every work he starred in has not had good results.

Even "Journey to the West" can be released for four episodes, and then it was withdrawn...

But his heroic face is indeed very suitable for Zhou Huai'an!

As for Li Yapeng... Forget it, it's better not to bother his old man, people are busy doing charity...

……

"Send Nie Yuan an audition invitation..."

"What time?"

"The sooner the better!"

Chen Sangsang wrote down Xu Hui's words on the daily cost of carrying with him, and then informed him: "We will go to the recording studio later..."

"I know, record a song for Liu Yifei!"

“… How did you remember to write a song for her?"

"I didn't think of it suddenly, as early as when "My Little Black Dress" was established, I had already decided to write a song for her!"

Hey, if it weren't for Da Mi Mi Mi who leaked his mouth, how could there be so many things?

But it's okay to promote the movie with the help of a song, which complements each other!

As for whether it will become popular... Hehe, Xu Hui wrote the lyrics and composed the music, Liu Yifei sang, and the fans of these two people are almost all over China.

Whether a song can become popular or not, in addition to the music itself, the main thing is the audience.

The most obvious example, "Ruoshui" and "A Man Gets Drunk", these two songs, if only from the music itself, the former is hundreds of times more advanced than the latter, but how many people know "Ruoshui"?

Pop songs, there are more people who listen to them, that's what is called pop!

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Hui to give Liu Yifei a song like "One Drunk Alone", and his temperament is not compatible.

He prepared a song "Flammable and Explosive".

Liu Yifei studied music, she has released albums in Japan, although not many people know about it, and even many of her fans don't know what music works she has that are widely circulated.

In those years, generally a little famous actor would have one or two musical works - performed during commercial performances.

Liu Yifei rarely accepts commercial performances, but she has held concerts... It's true!

Of course, all this does not guarantee that she will be able to sing this song well.

"Flammable and Explosive" is Chen Li's song, released in 2016, and the popularity is not very widespread, after all, Chen Li herself is not a famous singer, and this song is quite difficult to sing, the highest note is D key... Forget it, you don't understand this!

In short, it's hard to sing.

However, when Xu Hui handed over this song to Liu Yifei, she was very happy.

I guess I like this kind of music.

"I hope I'm crazy, and I hope I'm not alone

I miss me being cold and glamorous, and I want me to be frivolous and cheap

If you want me to be sunny, you want me to be amorous and not shaky."

"May I be like smoke, and may I be beautiful and lazy

Look at me crazy and look at me funny and dignified

If you want me to be beautiful, you want me to kill people without blinking"

These lyrics are indeed quite in line with Liu Yifei's image...

As for whether you can sing well, it depends on the training ability of musician Xu Hui!

……

The most famous recording studio in Beijing is, of course, Baihuagong.

With a generation of rock stars, he has been recording in Baihua Palace since Lao Cui, but unfortunately, Baihua Recording Studio is only famous for its inheritance, and when it comes to equipment and the like, I'm afraid it can't compare to second-rate recording studios in Europe and the United States...

Of course, Xu Hui respects these inheritances and the like, but he is not a pure singer, and he has no obvious preference for Baihuagong, so he found a recording studio called Blue Bird.

followed the person in charge into a small recording studio, Liu Yifei was sitting on the chair in the middle, silently reading the lyrics.
