Chapter 285 [Outwitting Tiger Mountain]
In fact, the co-production proposed by Chen Tianlang is the red action movie that was successfully sold at a box office of more than 900 million in his previous life, directed by Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, starring Hong Kong actor Leung Ka-fai and mainland actor Zhang Hanyu.
At that time, this drama was also a kind of co-production experimental film, and I wanted to see what kind of sparks would be produced after the combination of Hong Kong entertainment and traditional model dramas in the mainland, but I didn't expect it to be very popular, and it can be regarded as finding a new way out for the mainland's main theme movies and model dramas, and it also made Jackie Chan's and other red movies go online smoothly in the future, and achieved very good results.
Today, Chen Tianlang is at the forefront of the times, directly put forward this "co-production idea", and analyzed the advantages of doing so in great detail for Wu Chenggong, such as the main theme is clear, red movies can be reborn, and they are almost 97 years old, and cooperating with Hong Kong people can also stimulate their patriotic enthusiasm, etc.
Of course, these are not the point, Chen Tianlang told Wu Chenggong: "The essence of the model drama is to dare to make sacrifices for the revolutionary cause, so difficult that for us, we can't see anything other than these on the screen? We can enjoy our main theme, why can't the people of the world?" Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, and if we can use Hong Kong as a film base to go out, we can bring our main theme films to the world, which may be an exaggeration, but it should be no problem to bring them to Southeast Asia. The country advocates reform and opening up, and our film industry should also keep pace with the times, and stop sticking to the rules, don't you say?"
Wu Chenggong was stunned, "That's right, society is reforming, and movies should also be opened! We should export our red movies to the world." ”
Moreover, after such a main theme movie has Hong Kong filmmakers joining, it can integrate their action design and the most quintessential entertainment culture of Hong Kong films, which will be very enjoyable, because the ups and downs of the characters and the rhythm of the story will be quite fast, and the plot will be very magnificent. For those who have experienced it, it will feel familiar, and for those who have not, it may feel very new. ”
"Great! Great! Great!" Wu Chenggong happily took the case, "This is what I want, this is it! Not to mention that it has passed the approval, even if it is brought to the cinema, the people love to watch it." ”
"Since you think it's good, how about we work together to shoot it? I'll be in charge of the investment, and you'll be in charge of the shooting and distribution. Chen Tianlang asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Wu Chenggong replied immediately without thinking, and then he sighed again, "Boss Chen, you are so business-minded at a young age, this Shengshi Media has just arrived in your hands, and you can make a film with us, which is really terrifying!"
"Praise it, I will have to learn more from Teacher Wu in the future. Chen Tianlang seemed very modest.
Between talking and laughing, Chen Tianlang and Wu Chenggong gave the plan of investing in filming.
Chen Tianlang thought for a while, and then said to Wu Chenggong: "I personally think there will be no problem with the concept of this book, but I think there is still a small problem, that is, the director's problem." To do a good job in this book, it's not something that those directors on the mainland can do, they are too restrained in doing things. And this book seems to be a traditional model play, but it is actually an action entertainment film, because our audience is extremely lacking in entertainment now, eager to be entertained, and we make movies to serve the people, aren't we? And the thickness of this book itself,It requires the director's skills and experience to be sufficient.。 Therefore, the director we require must have a strong sense of fantasy, and at the same time have a strong sense of the overall situation and a strong sense of control over the overall situation. ”
"That's right, to make a really grand blockbuster, but also to have the subtlety of the details, it's really not something that anyone can do. Wu Chenggong nodded and said.
Chen Tianlang asked: "Then Mr. Wu, do you have any candidates here?" In fact, Chen Tianlang recognized Hong Kong director Tsui Hark early on, and in his last life, he was a big director who directed this play, but these words can't be said at once, so as not to seem to be doing it all by himself, he must "discuss" with Wu Chenggong, it seems that they are cooperating with each other, and they are also important participants, this is the trick of doing things, saving face for each other.
Where did Wu Chenggong know this, when he saw Chen Tianlang asking, he frowned and shook his head, "I really can't think of anyone who is particularly suitable, I'll look for it, Tianlang, you can also look for it." However, if you are looking for it, you must find a reliable one, and if this topic is leaked, we will lose a lot. ”
"I know. Chen Tianlang nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and Wu Chenggong hurried to see him off.
When he walked to the living room, Chen Tianlang couldn't help but ask, "Was it Liang Jiahui who came to you just now?"
"yes. Wu Chenggong nodded.
Chen Tianlang asked again: "Is it convenient to ask him what he is doing?"
"Oh......" Wu Chenggong smiled, "He came to the mainland to film, and came to see me by the way, when he was filming here before, I taught him to act." ”
"Teacher Wu, you taught him to act, you are very familiar with Liang Jiahui?"
"Yes, I was only in the industry for a short time, filming in Beijing, and there were not many people who could speak Cantonese at that time, but I happened to be one, so Leung Ka Fai couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he often talked to me. He told me that he had only been an actor for a short time, and that he had only made TV series before, and he had done tricks or something, and he didn't know anything, and he was a little frightened when making movies. So I comforted him, saying that filming is the same as being a person, as long as you tell yourself that you must work hard to play a good role and have a clear conscience. Unexpectedly, he has memorized this sentence until now. ”
"Is he here just to talk?"
"I also wanted to see if there was a possibility of cooperation, but the talks didn't go very well. ”
"Then ......" Chen Tianlang thought for a while and said bluntly: "Then if I cooperate with him, Teacher Wu won't say that I pry the corner, right?"
Wu Chenggong was stunned for a moment, patted Chen Tianlang's shoulder and laughed, "It turns out that you have an intention against him!"
Chen Tianlang smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It's okay, Leung Ka Fai is actually very easy to get along with, you will be very happy to watch his plays, and it will be very pleasant to cooperate with him. So, go ahead and talk about it, I won't blame you...... If someone else lives at the Yindu Jianguo Hotel, I will say hello to his agent in advance, and you can just go. ”
"Okay, then thank you, Mr. Wu. Chen Tianlang bent down and saluted.
"There is nothing to thank, Mr. Cheng introduced, we are half of our own people, and now we are about to cooperate again, that is, 100% of our own people. ”
"Good. Chen Tianlang smiled and said.
