In fact, Xu Laowei's "Once Upon a Time" series is a failure, otherwise why not keep filming?
The biggest problem with HK movies is to follow the trend!
Xu Laowei created "Huang Feihong", and then many people followed the trend to shoot, and from 91 to 97, more than 20 films appeared in the "Huang Feihong" series.
There are not a few shoddy ones.
Judging from the evaluation and box office, there is no doubt that the first three are the best.
When it was first released, Li Lianjie himself was of course very popular, which directly established his status as the emperor of kung fu.
Xu Laowei himself also gave up on this project, and after he filmed "Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions" in 96, he never made a film about Huang Feihong.
And when "Once Upon a Time" was released, HK's mainstream media didn't want to see this work, thinking it was too preachy...
Such a good subject matter was ruined by HK filmmakers.
It wasn't until 2013 that the mainland market began to grow explosively, and someone restarted this series, that is, "Wong Fei Hung: Heroes Have Dreams"
It's a pity that the screenwriter is too speechless, it is clearly "Undercover Black Tiger Gang", the lines are all kinds of sharp, "our dream", "for our dream", and it can be regarded as painstaking for the topic!
Compared with Xu Laowei's "Huang Feihong", it is simply a dog's tail mink!
The main reason why Xu Hui chose the "Once Upon a Time" series is that he needs a series to establish his current status.
Although he filmed "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Those Years", the box office was also very good, but more people still regarded him as an idol, and many viewers even firmly believed that if it weren't for Xu Hui starring in "Those Years", no one would have watched this movie at all...
"Once Upon a Time" series, especially several films filmed by Xu Laowei that are considered eternal classics, the most direct data, each of which sold more than one million North American DVDs, in 91, "Once Upon a Time" was screened directly in Manhattan for a month...
According to Xu Hui's plan, he is ready to shoot three "Once Upon a Time" series within two years, and after having status, he is considering his future film path.
As for the release time of the first part, it will definitely have to wait until next year.
It is unlikely that it will be released in January, "Avatar" will be released in January, and it is purely looking for death to have a hard anal with such a giant.
It's still May 1st, just PK with Universe Dan's "Ip Man 2"...
……
There has always been a tradition of lion dance in the south, and "Once Upon a Time" himself has the reputation of the lion king of Liangguang.
This point is also mentioned in the movie, and the third part is directly called "The Lion King", which shows how important the lion dance is to the character of Wong Fei Hung.
When Xu Hui came to the hotel, the crew told him that Wu Jing was learning the relevant skills of lion dance on the set.
Although this thing can be used as a stand-in, it is best to do it by the actor himself, and the effect is more realistic.
……
It is said that after July, the company successively launched three TV series, "Love Apartment", "Daughter-in-law's Beautiful Era" and "Snow Leopard", which directly detonated audiences at all levels.
Domestic audiences who have been brainwashed by Taiwanese idol dramas and domestic suspension dramas for many years can finally return to a normal viewing experience.
Three TV series, one more popular than the other.
Although it does not have the frenzied ratings of "Sword and Fairy III" broadcast at the same time, the viewership of ancient puppet dramas is relatively fixed, and with such a huge TV drama market in the mainland, it is still possible to accommodate two or three TV series with completely different styles at the same time!
Yaya, Zhao Liying, and Wang Kai have gained a lot of attention because of the hit TV series.
Especially Yaya, Chen Yi in "Snow Leopard" really made her a lot of fans.
As for Zhao Liying, it's a little embarrassing, "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" belongs to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, and the viewers of this kind of TV series are mainly focused on the elderly middle-aged aunt (Lao Xu also likes to watch it, is it hopeless), Zhao Liying plays the male protagonist's sister Yu Hao, there are not many scenes, and the role is still very annoying, in short, the topic is not enough.
King Kaikai is a newcomer, and in the two TV series that have been broadcast, his roles are quite likable and have gained a lot of attention.
At present, the company's first brother and one sister have a development momentum, and it is obvious that the first brother is a little better than the first sister...
……
The summer is rainy, the South China Sea Film and Television Base is quite ancient, the dark clouds are drifting, the rain is sprinkled, everything is sucking, and the greenery is stronger.
The hotel is in the city of Foshan, only a quarter of an hour's drive from the film and television city, the accommodation conditions are acceptable, mainly quiet, not so chaotic as the film and television city.
Filming itself is a very physically and mentally demanding job, of course, you have to rest well.
Fiddling with the clothes he was carrying, Xu Hui pushed open the door.
Get ready to meet the creators of the crew.
Two minutes away, I walked to a restaurant near the hotel, pushed open the box, and there was already a table full of inside.
"Director!"
"Xu Hui!"
"I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you doing?"
They are all acquaintances, except for Jiang Chao and Yaya, several of you here have already cooperated once.
Photography found Huang Yuetai, who is a god-level character, "Painted Skin" and "October Siege", of course, he is also the director of photography of the original time and space "Huang Feihong" series, Xu Hui spent a lot of effort to convince this one;
Costume design, found Xi Zhongwen, this is also a great god, and has won countless awards, by the way, the costume design of the original time and space "Huang Feihong" is also this one;
Action director, Li Zhongzhi, no need to introduce more, can be called one of the few talents in martial arts coaching in HK movies in recent years.
Today is just a meeting of the crew to get acquainted, which can be regarded as a light meal, familiar with it in advance.
The movie won't start until tomorrow afternoon.
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you've become a 500 million director!"
After three rounds of drinking, Wu Jing sighed with emotion.
"Come on, what a big director, I didn't listen to what those people said, I'm just a speculator and took advantage of the loopholes in the market!"
Xu Hui waved his hand, not at all looking cold in front of the media.
During this time, although Xu Hui stayed in the crew, the topic of his status has been hyped, and many viewers who like him directly assert that he is already a big director!
These people here, Wu Jing, Deng Chao and Wu Yue are the people who watched Xu Hui come all the way, not to mention that they thought it was incredible, even Xu Hui himself was quite puzzled, why did the two movies become big directors?
The market is more and more interested in box office results, and if you can get 500 million box office, you are a big director!
"I'm not a big director yet, I've heard that the investment in this drama is 110 million!"
"Brother Jing, you also read the sketch of the script, it is impossible to shoot the effect without 100 million!"
