"It's really exciting, the theme is very novel, the idea of heroizing the underworld elements who originally lived in the dark, this idea is quite innovative, and the plot handling is also very good, but what I appreciate the most is a few shootouts, and the techniques used by Director Wu are very ornamental. ”
Shao Yifu praised him again and again, and his face was also full of smiles, obviously very satisfied with the film, and even had an indescribable excitement, after all, this film was shot by Wei's and Shaw Brothers together, which is undoubtedly an inspiration for him who still has a dream of film.
"Uncle Sixth praised that the application of violent aesthetics in this film is entirely thanks to Mr. Wei's guidance, and I can only be regarded as an executor at most. ”
"The aesthetics of violence? Or did Ah Xiong bring it up?" Shao Yifu looked at Wei Xiong in surprise, he didn't think that Wu Yusen would be humble enough to attribute the credit to others, although this person was his boss, could it be that Wei Xiong was not only a musical genius, but also a good at movies?
"Yu Sen's words are exaggerated, I just said some ideas, and the effect is limited. Wei Xiong's tone was flat, as if he was saying another trivial matter, and then took the initiative to divert the topic: "What does Shibo think of this film being released in the Spring Festival?"
The schedule is scheduled for the Spring Festival, which has been set by both parties in advance, and Fang Yihua also negotiated with Pan Disheng, but the specific number of theaters has not yet been decided.
Shao Yifu didn't answer, but glanced at Fang Yihua next to him, and Fang Yihua immediately said: ""The True Color of Heroes" is indeed a very good and promising film, but there is one bad thing, its theme does not match the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, which may affect the box office. ”
"I don't think it's a problem at all, every year during the Spring Festival, the film company will launch a variety of Chinese New Year movies, the theme is nothing more than comedy and romance, it is easy to cause visual fatigue to the audience, if we launch a gangster hero film, maybe it can have an unexpected effect. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yihua still wants to stick to her opinion, she doesn't want "The True Color of Heroes" to achieve too good box office, because in this way, Shao Yifu may rekindle the idea of making movies, which she does not want to see, but before she can speak, Shao Yifu spoke first:
"Ah Xiong is right, no one stipulates that the Spring Festival file must be released for the New Year, this matter is so decided, Ah Hua, you talk to Pan Disheng. ”
Pan Disheng's Debao Film Company is now in full swing, and it has the potential to keep pace with the two giants of Golden Harvest and New Arts City, and in addition to Pan Disheng's large investment in gold yuan, it mainly relies on the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line that was leased to Hong Kong from Shao Yifu.
You must know that the reason why Golden Harvest and New Arts City can become the two giants of the Hong Kong film industry after Shaw Brothers is that their strong production capabilities are naturally an indispensable factor, but the cinema chain is the real reliance. Needless to say, Golden Harvest has its own Golden Harvest Cinema.
As for the new art city itself, although there is no cinema chain, its holding company Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd. owns the Golden Princess cinema line. To put it bluntly, only by owning a cinema chain can you not be stifled by others, and can you develop a film company according to your own ideas, at least in Hong Kong.
In other words, if Debao wants to maintain its current development momentum and status, it must continue to hold the cinema chain in its hand, but this cinema is rented. So as long as Shao Yifu speaks, not to mention Shao Yifu's status, just for the stability of the theater, Pan Disheng also has to give face.
"Let's go to my office and sit down. For Shao Yifu's invitation, Wei Xiong readily accepted, and the two chatted along the way, the topics were all related to movies, and when he knew that Wei was preparing a new movie, Shao Yifu immediately became interested.
asked a few questions one after another, but that's all, no matter how much interest you have, you have to wait to see the effect of "The True Color of Heroes" after it is released.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When passing a corner, a person hit Wei Xiong directly, fortunately the strength was not large, and he reacted quickly, and quickly stopped the trend of rushing forward, and after seeing the person in front of him, the person who hit the person immediately apologized with a panicked face.
"It's fine. Wei Xiong smiled faintly, and didn't take it to heart, and suddenly, his didn't wrinkle: "You are the ...... of the 430 shuttle"
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm the host of the 430 shuttle, my name is Zhou Xingchi, I'm really sorry just now, I really didn't mean to" Zhou Xingchi still had a sincere expression of fear, and bowed again and again, but from the direction of his bowing, it can be seen that his main apology is Shao Yifu.
"The fur is frizzy, what a system. "Unlike Wei Xiong, Shao Yifu's face is a little unpleasant, the collision just now is naturally nothing to Wei Xiong, a young man, but if it hits him, a 79-year-old man, it will be different, and he must not be admitted to the hospital directly.
After speaking, Shao Yifu continued to walk towards the office, and Wei Xiong smiled at Zhou Xingchi before leaving, but at this time, Zhou Xingchi seemed to have been stunned by Shao Yifu's scolding, and he didn't notice Wei Xiong's smile at all, just standing in place stupidly.
You must know that Shao Yifu is equivalent to a god in TVB, those who are in charge of the family, as long as they are disobedient, they will still be hidden by the snow, not to mention a small role like him, it will really make Shao Yifu unhappy, let alone hidden in the snow, it is estimated that he will be directly blocked.
"I've watched this show hosted by Zhou Xingchi, it's quite an interesting person. Just walked a short distance, Wei Xiong pretended not to care.
"Oh, do you have thoughts about him?" Shao Yifu glanced at Wei Xiong in surprise, what was there to pay attention to as an ordinary host he had never heard of.
"I can't say what I think, I just think he should have some potential. Wei Xiong smiled faintly, so that people could not see any clues, at this time the two had already walked into Shao Yifu's office, which was very large, the decoration was simple and atmospheric, and there was a sense of history precipitated by time.
After the secretary finished delivering the coffee and went out, Wei Xiong said to Zhou Xingchi again: "I have a reluctant request, can Shibo give me that Zhou Xingchi?"
Shao Yifu couldn't help but pause when he picked up the coffee, and then took a sip of coffee: "It seems that the nephew thinks that Zhou Xingchi's potential is not small." ”
Wei Xiong said with a smile: "Wei's movies are small, naturally they can't compare with TVB's talents, and they can only focus on those potential newcomers, otherwise when will it be the day to emerge." If Shibo is willing, I will pay his liquidated damages according to the price. ”
"I don't think of his penalty. "Zhou Xingchi is just the host of a children's program, even if he signs a long-term contract, there will not be much liquidated damages.
