Chapter 145: Wind and Rain

After the filming of "The True Colors of Heroes" ended, the time came to June, the weather in early summer in Xiangjiang was like a doll's face changing, the sky was clear one moment, and the next moment it was pouring rain, fortunately, the filming of "The True Colors of Heroes" has ended, otherwise it will rain for eight days a week in June, and it will delay a lot of progress.

Compared with the four-month filming of "The True Colors of Heroes", "Wind and Rain" is much faster, and it only took two months of filming before and after.

Wang Zheng, as the screenwriter and producer of the drama "Wind and Rain on the Same Road", watched the finished film as early as the first time, and generally speaking, the drama directed by Zeng Zhiwei can only be regarded as decent, and there is less of him in "Best Partner" 's funny style, there are more portrayals of the characters in the play, and Zhou Xingchi, who plays the starring role, although there is no major change in the style of the characters, is still the same as the characters in the first two movies, full of ruffianism, but his mind and acting skills have improved significantly, I believe this will help his nonsensical comedy talent in the future.

In June, on a stormy day, "Wind and Rain Together" ushered in the premiere at the Shaw Brothers Theater, not because Shaw Brothers specially arranged such a weather to cater to the title of this play, but it was really difficult to find a day without rain in June.

Wang Zheng, as the screenwriter and producer of this play, participated in the premiere held on the same day, and also participated in the participation of Guan Zhilin, Liang Chaowei, Da Fei, Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Guorong.

Although the weather was bad, there were still a lot of audiences on the day of the premiere, and after a simple red carpet, Wang Zheng took Guan Zhilin and the main creators of the crew to sit in the front row and began to watch the film.

The plot of this play is very simple, Dasha (played by Cheng Kuiammon) led a group of bandits to rob the South African diamond emperor successfully, they found the middleman Li Yunfei (played by Chen Huimin) to sell the stolen goods, but during the transaction, he shot the buyer, and Li Yunfei took advantage of the chaos to escape. Undercover agent Zhang Lang (played by Zhou Xingchi) due to the special circumstances of his work, which led to a deeper and deeper misunderstanding between him and his girlfriend Lan Wenli (played by Lan Jieying), Zhang Lang wanted to get rid of it, but under the pressure of his old boss Officer Li (played by Wu Mengda), he had to get close to Li Yunfei in order to find out about the diamond robbery.

Although the plot of the whole drama is very old-fashioned, gunfight action movies like this were still novel in the early 80s in Xiangjiang, and the audience in the premiere theater watched it with relish.

The reason why Xiangjiang shootout films flooded in later generations was because Wu Yusen's "The True Colors of Heroes" was in front, and many film companies and producers saw that "The True Colors of Heroes" not only broke the box office record in Xiangjiang, but also received a lot of praise, so they followed the trend to shoot gunfight action movies.

Wang Zheng took this reason into account that he let "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" be released first.

In the play, Chen Huimin can be regarded as acting in his true colors, and he performs the helplessness and righteousness of the people in the club vividly and exquisitely. And Lan Jieying played the heroine for the first time, and her performance was also outstanding, I believe that with this film and the heroine of "The True Color of Heroes", her beautiful reputation of Wutai Mountain will also come out in advance.

In later generations, Wang Zheng heard that the reason why Lan Jieying became proud and complacent after becoming popular and playing a big name was because of the depression behind the unspoken rules of a big brother, and in this life, with Wang Zheng's protection, I hope she will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

In addition to Zhang Huimin and Lan Jieying's brilliant performances, Cheng Kuiammon's performance also gave Wang Zheng a small surprise, perhaps because of the experience of collecting protection money everywhere in mixed clubs, Cheng Kuiming performed the fierceness of the bandit in his bones quite perfectly, this kind of bully who can stop crying at night is the actor who is missing in Wang Zheng's script.

After the premiere, although the audience's performance was not as fierce as in Wang Zheng's previous films, they all left with a smile, and there was no dissatisfaction, judging from the audience's post-viewing expressions, whether this drama could be a big hit could not be predicted in advance, but the possibility of loss was ruled out, Zeng Zhiwei as a director was already very satisfied, this was his first directing film to join the Shaw Brothers, for this reason, he insisted on paying out of his own pocket to invite the main creator of the crew and the guests who arrived today to have a big dinner.

Although Zeng Zhiwei insisted on inviting everyone to a big meal, at Wang Zheng's suggestion, everyone finally came to a food stall in Causeway Bay, with authentic food stalls with Cantonese cuisine, Wang Zheng has always thought that it is not comparable to a Western-style vegetable market.

"Thank you for your joint efforts today and the creators of "Wind and Rain", I would like to toast you first!"

On the big round table of a food stall, Wang Zheng, Guan Zhilin, Zhou Xingchi and others raised a toast to Zeng Zhiwei, who was cold beer and toasting.

As soon as Wang Zheng finished drinking the beer in the cup, Zeng Zhiwei picked up the wine glass again and said: "This glass of wine should be toasted to Ah Zheng alone, in my most difficult time, it was he who introduced me to Shaw Brothers!"

Wang Zheng took a sip of the beer that Guan Zhilin helped pour and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, has the script of your next play been settled?"

Zeng Zhiwei wiped a handful of wine foam from his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is already a general framework." ”

"Oh?

Wang Zheng also asked casually, but he didn't expect Zeng Zhiwei to really have a plan, but he spent a lot of time in later generations before he had a new work.

Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Thanks to Ah Zheng, you gave me the script of "Wind and Rain", which gave me a lot of inspiration, although the script I prepared is also a gunfight movie, but it has added a lot of funny plots, which can be regarded as a tense, exciting, and hilarious gunfight action comedy." ”

Before Wang Zheng could express his opinion, Liang Chaowei on the side preemptively said: "So sharp, viagra, is there a role suitable for me?" I have wanted to play the Xiangjiang Royal Police for a long time. ”

After Liang Chaowei finished speaking, he made a gesture of pulling out a gun, which caused everyone to laugh.

Wang Zheng glanced at Liang Chaowei and said: "After the filming of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", I want to run to the film circle, you are now a popular student in wireless, TVB relies on you and Andy, the two beautiful boys, if you are dragged to make a movie, the sixth aunt will not be able to settle accounts with me." ”

After the beginning of 84 years, Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehao were highly praised by TVB, and the two starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding" respectively, in the 80s of Xiangjiang, if you can star in Jin Daxia's martial arts drama, as long as you are not too ugly to see people, then you must be popular, with the appearance of Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehao, the two have long been the dream lovers of countless girls in Xiangjiang, listen to Shao Tycoon's meaning, is to train Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei, and Huang Rihao into the wireless five tiger generals, and continue to output new episodes for the TV kingdom of TVB.

Liang Chaowei said with a bitter face: "Wireless filming is too boring, and all the shooting schedules are arranged in advance, just like a factory assembly line, which is too boring." ”

Liang Chaowei's complaint made Wang Zheng laugh out loud, and he criticized in a lesson tone: "Do you know your so-called boring work, how many people want to do it but don't have the opportunity, your task now is to hone your acting skills, and when you have your acting skills when you become popular in wireless, are you still afraid that you won't have the opportunity to make movies?"

Liang Chaowei shrugged innocently, of course he understood what Wang Zheng said, but he used to play tricks and film with Wang Zheng and Zhou Xingchi, but now he is a little unaccustomed to being left alone in wireless.

At the end of the dinner, Wang Zheng told everyone about his trip to the mainland, and also hoped that they could hone their acting skills more when he had not yet determined the script of the next play, so as to save time for the next cooperation, and his drama would have high acting requirements for the actors in the future.
