After Liu Weiqiang turned around, Chen Kangjie had already identified this person as the director Liu Weiqiang who filmed the "Gu Huò Zai" series and the "Infernal Affairs" series he saw on TV. (The text is first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info)~~
Liu Weiqiang is an excellent photographer, and he is also an excellent director who has won too many awards, Christopher Doy once said that he is the most bāng photographer in Hong Kong, and when Hong Kong films were in a downturn, he was regarded as the mainstay of Hong Kong films, because the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy shot by his heart made people feel that Hong Kong films were not dead.
For such a talented photographer and film director, how could Chen Kangjie let it go.
It stands to reason that Liu Weiqiang began directing in 1990 and filmed films such as "Friends", "Human Skin Lantern", "Temple Street Story" and so on. But instead of success and recognition in the industry, Tǐng was unknown, but participated in the filming of "Mong Kok Kamén", "Dragon and Tiger" and other photographers responded well, perhaps it is for this reason that Mr. Liu is so perfunctory to Liu Weiqiang's desire to continue to be a director. He didn't know that Lau Wai-keung had led at least three new làngcháo of Hong Kong cinema as a director, the first time in the "Gu Huò Zai" series, then "Chinese Heroes", "Fengyun", and then "Infernal Affairs Trilogy". He is also the first film director in Hong Kong to combine computer special effects and animation.
"Xiaojie, I think he's so young," He Wanrong said.
Liu Weiqiang is 32 years old this year, which is not considered young anymore, but if he wants to be independent as a film director, he feels that he still lacks some heat.
"Is he young? Not young, right? Chen Kangjie asked rhetorically, in Chen Kangjie's eyes, maybe he was preconceived, and he didn't think Liu Weiqiang's age was problematic.
"That's very old compared to some people," He Wanrong joked.
He Wanrong's banter, Ouyang Zhenhua, Tan Meiyun, and Fan Wenxuan, who understood what it meant, immediately laughed, Xiang Yan, Zhou Xingxing, and Wen Xiu were a little confused.
Chen Kangjie was very embarrassed, and he really couldn't reply, so he could only stare dryly.
"That's it, you go first, I'll talk to him", Fan Wenxuan smiled and agreed.
Xiang Yan and Zhou Xingxing didn't need to go back to He Wanrong's villa, they said goodbye here, Chen Kangjie, He Wanrong The small convoy of three cars returned by themselves.
Not long after Chen Kangjie and the others returned to the villa, Fan Wenxuan followed, thinking that she would just talk to Liu Weiqiang, who knew that she would bring it with Liu Weiqiang.
It turned out that Fan Wenxuan went to Liu Weiqiang and explained his intentions, Liu Weiqiang was very surprised, "Mr. Fan, as far as I know, your company has always been mainly making music, how could you think of asking me to make movies, besides, I am not a famous director in the industry."
"Didn't you see us just now? In fact, we have always wanted to get involved in film and television, but we have never had a suitable team, today we came here to eat because we went to watch the movie "The Judge of the Dead" starring Zhou Xingxing and He Wanrong, and they also came together", Fan Wenxuan asked rhetorically.
"I'm sorry, I was in a trance just now, I didn't notice it, I also watched the movies of their two big stars, it's really good, by the way, I'm just a nobody, how can you believe that I will find me to make movies in your company, it stands to reason that you can find a lot of famous and good directors."
"It's ours...... Consultant, he thinks you will be a good director in the future", Fan Wenxuan didn't know how to introduce Chen Kangjie's identity, he was Hongyuan's consultant, on the other hand, he was almost an artist of Feiyang Entertainment, and more importantly, he was so young.
When Fan Wenxuan learned from Dong Siying that Chen Kangjie was a consultant of Hongyuan Investment and participated in almost all Hongyuan's investments, her surprise was no less than when she learned that Chen Kangjie was the musical ghost "Big Potato", in short, Chen Kangjie has too much mystery in his body, Dong Siying also told Fan Wenxuan that Chen Kangjie once donated one billion yuan to Deying County to build a road because of a dream. Although he didn't say anything to guess that Chen Kangjie was the boss of Hongyuan, it was already very revealing, Fan Wenxuan somewhat understood why he was joking, Ouyang Zhenhua decided to invest in him, and because of this, Fan Wenxuan had no objection to Chen Kangjie's decision today.
"Your advisors? Can I meet this person? If I want to change jobs from Shaw Brothers to another company, I have to find a reason to convince myself, after all, I have always done a good job there, and I have been in Shaw Brothers since I entered the industry in 85 years", Liu Weiqiang agreed without a word from Fan Wenxuan, the general manager of Feiyang Entertainment.
"This ...... Okay, you come with me", Fan Wenxuan hesitated for a moment and made a promise for Chen Kangjie, she felt that Chen Kangjie was so interested in this Liu Weiqiang, she should not refuse.
In this way, the future director officially met Chen Kangjie for the first time. It's just that what makes Chen Kangjie a little faceless is that Liu Weiqiang's first person of interest is not himself, but his godsister He Wanrong.
"Miss He, hello, I am your faithful song, each of your songs is a classic, not only I like it, but my wife and son Ade also like your songs", Liu Weiqiang said to Chen Kangjie with a little excitement.
"Thank you, I'm honored, please sit casually", He Wanrong greeted very elegantly.
"Mr. Liu, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ouyang Zhenhua, the president of Hongyuan Investment Group, the investor of our Feiyang Entertainment Company, and that is his wife, Miss Tan Meiyun, this is the consultant of Hongyuan Investment", since Fan Wenxuan brought people, then he has to introduce them, and he can't let people be blind.
The reason why He Wanrong did not introduce Chen Kangjie first, but put Ouyang Zhenhuafu in front was because Chen Kangjie still belonged to Ouyang Zhenhua's subordinates on the surface.
"Huh? That's what you call a corporate consultant? Liu Weiqiang pointed at Chen Kangjie and asked in surprise, Chen Kangjie was definitely the smallest consultant he had ever seen.
I don't know if artists are a little different from ordinary people, Fan Wenxuan obviously introduced Ouyang Zhenhua's president and husband first, but Liu Weiqiang directly bypassed Ouyang Zhenhua, but he was interested in Chen Kangjie, maybe Chen Kangjie's age is easy to surprise normal people.
"Mr. Liu, is there anything wrong with this?" , Chen Kangjie asked him with a smile.
"No, no, no problem, no problem", Liu Weiqiang felt that he had lost his temper and waved his hand again and again.
"Just now at the Mén entrance of the food restaurant, we heard that you have a script to make a movie, can you read the script?" , Chen Kangjie went straight to the point, not dragging mud and water.
"Oh, oh, of course", Liu Weiqiang realized that the seemingly young consultant in front of him was also very jumpy, and hurriedly took out a stack of printed manuscripts from his handbag.
After Chen Kangjie took it, he browsed it, it may be related to popular comedy now, Liu Weiqiang's script is a comedy martial arts film, about a rich son who goes to Senshan to learn martial arts, his purpose in learning martial arts is not to take revenge, nor to so-called martial arts alliance leader, but to marry a wife. He likes a beautiful young nv in the city, but this nv kid is very beautiful and has good skills, they are a dart game family, and they want to choose a son-in-law by recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition, and the son who has never suffered originally wanted to be impressed by money, but now he has no choice, and he can only choose to suffer in order to get the beauty back.
The story revolves around this main line, with a lot of humorous plots in it, and finally ends with Brother Gongzi defeating many evil làng children who want to figure out Guò marry Mei NV and win the dart game's family property, and finally have a lover and finally become a family.
This kind of story is not new, but if it is filmed well, it is very suitable for the taste of the current audience. Just like many Hollywood movies about spies, the plot can't be more vulgar, but as long as it is integrated in terms of details, editing, pictures, and music, it will still achieve good results, and young people can accept it.
After Chen Kangjie read it quickly, he passed it to Ouyang Zhenhua and them.
"Mr. Liu, is this a script you wrote yourself? I didn't see the signature," Chen Kangjie asked Liu Weiqiang.
"Yes, it's the first time to write a script by yourself", Liu Weiqiang told the truth.
"Hong Kong movies, don't look at Hong Kong movies are very hot now, but I think there has always been one of the biggest worries, that is, not paying attention to the script, which will bring trouble sooner or later," Chen Kangjie said in one sentence.
Listening to Chen Kangjie's words, Liu Weiqiang fell into deep thought, he is an industry insider, and it is easy to understand the current situation and what Chen Kangjie said.
"The efficiency of Hong Kong film shooting is very high, it can be completed in the shortest week, and it is very suitable for today's fast pace", I don't know if Liu Weiqiang disagrees with Chen Kangjie's words, or deliberately reversely examines Chen Kangjie.
"Fast is fast, but how much is the box office of a movie, the best is only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, or it is only popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but what about Hollywood, the box office is hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is popular all over the world, this is the gap, besides, as I just said, there is no big problem at present, but the times cannot remain the same", Chen Kangjie recounted.
Ouyang Zhenhua and Fan Wenxuan listened to their conversation while reading Liu Weiqiang's script. Ouyang Zhenhua has long been surprised that Chen Kangjie has such an insight, and Fan Wenxuan has not yet adapted to it. Chen Kangjie has never been in contact with movies, the only contact is to watch movies, can you see such insight when watching movies?
"This is mainly due to the fact that Hong Kong does not have a big film company and lacks strong funds to make large-scale productions, and on the other hand, Hong Kong films are also a kind of expression of oriental cultural consciousness, so it makes sense that the popular regions are limited to East and Southeast Asia," Liu Weiqiang argued.
I have to say that what Liu Weiqiang said is quite reasonable, culture is a double-edged sword. Putting aside the cultural part, technically speaking, Hong Kong films do not pay attention to the script, which is a big flaw, very casual, there are too many hard wounds in the movie, and it is a bit unthinkable in Hong Kong to go to a script like a Hollywood movie for a year and a half.
