Chapter 0705 The Precedent "True Colors of Heroes"
The big boss spoke, how could he disagree. Director Yuan Kui hurriedly arranged costumes, makeup and other matters, action director Yuan Heping explained the essentials, and Li Lianjie cooperated with the demonstration, so he was busy.
This scene is a scene where Zhang Sanfeng created Wudang, accepted apprentices to teach art, and arranged at the end of the movie, as long as everyone shows the kung fu of Tai Chi in place, it will meet the requirements of the movie effect, but it is not how crucial. The crew originally planned to finish it easily, and then go to have a casual meal, but they didn't expect Tang Huan to come and join in the fun.
Yuan Kui was worried that Tang Huan would not be able to blend into the atmosphere, so he specially found a tape recorder to play the original soundtrack of the movie that had been recorded.
……
The sword and sword shadow are not my sect, the sky and the sea have my own style.
With both hands pushing, it is neither black nor white, neither good nor bad, and if there is no victory, how can it be defeated.
I didn't go, how could I come, there was no sword in my hand and no dust in my heart, it was my mind, and it was my mind to go and ride the wind with fate,
The words and swords do not fit my posture, and the sky and the sea are my style.
With both hands pushing, it is neither virtual nor real, neither slow nor fast, and there is no victory.
There is no movement, how can there be quiet, there is no sword in my hand and no dust in my heart, it is my mind, and it is my mind to go and ride the wind with fate.
……
Listening to this charming "Casual Fate", Tang Huan nodded, "Hu Weili's soundtrack talent and work efficiency are admirable." ”
"The boss is also responsible, isn't it your handwriting to fill in the words?" Li Lianjie, who was most familiar with Tang Huan among the crowd, complimented.
Tang Huan, who was scratched on the itch, laughed, and instructed the assistant: "Arrange it, tonight, I will invite the crew of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" to dinner; ”
After putting on his makeup and standing in the crowd inconspicuously, Mr. The richest man suddenly had a feeling, "Infinitely close to square dancing." ”
……
This kind of task, Tang Huan will not become a burden, so it didn't take long for the crew to call it a day and get the main members together to catch up with the boss's dinner.
Like the original version of time and space, it was Qian Xiaohao who played the villain in the movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and played opposite Li Lianjie, and the two sides cooperated in "Jingwu Hero" before.
Although he is also young, Qian Xiaohao has practiced real kung fu and can be regarded as a senior practitioner, and has been accepted as an actor by the famous director Zhang Che since the end of the 1970s. Started playing for Shaw Brothers.
Xu Xiaoming's three Jingwuguan series of TV series - "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", "Huo Dongjue", Qian Xiaohao starred as Huo Dongjue in the finale.
In addition, Qian Xiaohao also starred as Lin Zhengying's apprentice Qiusheng in the unexpectedly popular zombie film "Mr. Zombie" last year.
It can be said that the past few years have been the time when Qian Xiaohao's acting career is on the rise, and the spring breeze is proud.
In this version of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", although the plot has changed, the villain - Dong Tianbao of "My life is up to me", this setting is still retained, and it is interpreted by Qian Xiaohao very well, and DreamWorks is very recognized.
After chatting for a few words, Tang Huan remembered something, so he casually asked, "Do you have a younger brother named Qian Jiale, what are you doing at the moment?"
Qian Xiaohao, who was surprised by the omniscient Mr. The richest man, hurriedly replied: "He is a dragon and tiger martial artist in the Hong family's class, and he rarely shows his face in front of the scene, but I didn't expect Tang Sheng to know it." ”
Tang Huan bowed slightly, "I heard that he has a talent for funny, why don't you go to DreamWorks and try it out to see if you can meet the conditions for playing some supporting roles." ”
Qian Xiaohao was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again in agreement, "Thank you Tang Sheng for your support, I will inform him." ”
"Boss, it's all arranged. "The assistant came over to report.
After removing makeup, washing his face, and changing back into his clothes, Tang Huan explained to Li Lianjie and others, "I'll go first, you guys will take the big army behind,"
……
The dining venue was chosen at Maxim's Restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant under Qin Wo, which is located at the Plaza of Chi Fu Garden South, Pok Fu Lam.
Pokfulam, a suburb of Hong Kong Island, has always maintained a rare pattern of low-to-medium density development, which has made private housing estates and villas here popular with the middle class and upper class.
Of course, such a good feng shui treasure has naturally become the focus of business. For example, the land where Fortune Garden is located was the main trigger for the 1973 "Grant Land to Drink Milk" incident.
The British, who made the rules, mastered the rules, and knew the rules well, made a lot of evils, and after Qinhe acquired Jardine and Land, he even took these negative assets with him.
Fortune Garden consists of 20 blocks of 27-storey residences and 7 blocks of 5-storey residences called "Elegant Bungalows", arranged in a C-shape, with a total of more than 4,200 residential units, half of which has a view of the West Expo Liao Strait and the three "big chimneys" of the Lamma Island Power Plant.
In addition, Fortune Garden is also equipped with swimming pools, shuttle buses, parking lots, bus terminals, minibuses, 24-hour property management, etc., and there are not only various restaurants but also many small and medium-sized businesses in Fortune South District Plaza.
Therefore, Zhifu Garden is known as "quiet and comfortable environment", which can be called a major driving force for many young people to strive for their careers.
However, due to the restrictions of the land leases and the Town Planning Board, Heung Kong Land failed to exhaust the plot ratio when it developed Fortune Garden, resulting in the plot ratio remaining more than four times.
Of course, Jardine Matheson Land did not want to "waste", so before the completion of Fortune Garden and the sale of the property to the various minority owners, they applied to the Lands Department to divide the whole plot of land into 10 shares, of which 5 shares were held by Hongkong Land's subsidiary.
In the colonial era, of course, the British covered the sky with one hand, so these small owners did not know when they bought the property, they only bought the unit of Fortune Garden and its "indivisible share", and the other 5 lots did not belong to them.
Capital is evil, but Tang Huan didn't plan to compensate for the greasy things he played before Landmark, so he couldn't get anything good to do, and maybe people took it for granted.
Therefore, after Tang Huan privatized the land into a family business, he sold the five lots to Qinhe, and this big consortium took over the trouble worth hundreds of millions.
This kind of "being unkind to the rich" has also become a boost in the public opinion attack triggered by the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, but why should Tang Huan pay for the history of the British.
Looking at the Zhifu Garden outside the car, Tang Huan hated it so much, if it weren't for HSBC's secret badness, his public image in Xiangjiang would be flawless, it seems that he was really right in calculating the other party.
……
Maxim's Restaurant, which specializes in Cantonese cuisine, was founded by two brothers, Ng Shun Tak and Ng Tak, and in 1972, Heung Kong Land became its major shareholder, and immediately opened a number of restaurants in various properties of Hongkong Land, such as Jardine House, which has developed rapidly.
In Tang Huan's sphere of influence, there is one more place where Maxim's Foods can take advantage of the situation, that is, the star effect of DreamWorks, and the effect is extremely obvious.
At present, Heung Kong Land, which focuses on property renting, has transferred its interests in Maxim's Caterers Limited to Dairy Farm International, which is directly affiliated with Qinhe Group, but it is still operated by the Wu family.
Tang Huan set up a banquet at Maxim's Restaurant to entertain guests, which naturally alarmed the Wu family, and Wu Weiquan, who belonged to the second-generation successor, personally ran before and after.
Before the official opening of the China-US route in 1980, China and the United States could not reach a consensus on catering services, so the Xiangjiang branch of Xinhua News Agency introduced Maxim's Foods to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
However, there was still a lot of resistance to the Sino-foreign joint venture model on the mainland, and finally the Civil Aviation Administration of China asked Chief Deng for instructions, and the result was that he replied: "Does Mr. Wu know how to make bread? If you do, let him make it!"
As a result, Maxim's Caterers Limited has since obtained the right to operate the restaurant and established Beijing Aviation Catering Co., Ltd., which is also known as the No. 001 Sino-foreign joint venture.
Obviously, Wu Jia and Maxim's Foods have entered the eyes of the high-level in the mainland, and they are also actively getting closer, which has won a broad space for business development, after all, catering is of extraordinary significance to the life and communication of Chinese people.
"Don't be busy, just leave the matter to your subordinates. Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "Set aside time, let's talk casually." ”
Wu Weiquan is not a few years older than Tang Huan, and he also has study abroad experience, so he is not worried that he has no common language, so he sat down happily and pulled up.
"Miss Xie Ning's duet cake shop has obvious characteristics and has made a lot of fame, so some time ago I tried to seek cooperation and wanted to ask her to be the image spokesperson, but unfortunately it was not convenient until after stepping down as Miss Xiangjiang. Wu Wei said casually.
Tang Huan laughed, "This should be regarded as a scheming, if you ask Xie Ning to advertise Maxim's Food, then her duet cake shop won't be able to get close to the water first." ”
Tang Sheng's analysis is correct, this move directly eliminates the potential competition invisibly. Wu Weiquan cooperated to make a plan and succeeded.
Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "You can afford to look down on those small cake shops too much, it's nothing more than Xie Ning's entrepreneurial work to pass the time." ”
"The duo cake shop that has become a model of young people's entrepreneurship still has a lot to offer, especially with the increase in the popularity of Miss Xie Ning, and the starring TVB heavyweight Jin Yong martial arts drama "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" will be broadcast at the end of this year, which should not be underestimated. Wu Weiquan analyzed very seriously.
After becoming Miss Xiangjiang in 1985, in addition to her own work during her tenure, Xie Ning, who had no intention of developing as an actor at the beginning, inevitably participated in TVB's TV series half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, the first role was Yang Wuniang in the star-studded Taiwanese drama "Yang Jiajiang", and then Yang Ziyin in the TV series "Di Qing" related to the story background.
In all fairness, because of her rich resume in DreamWorks, Shaining's accumulated performance quality is no worse than that of the students who graduated from the TVB artist training class, but Xiangjiang now belongs to a developed region in the world, and people's vision is naturally not comparable to before, and the background from the mainland still makes her fall into an audience dilemma like Liu Jialing, which is not as recognized by the other heroine in the play, Li Meixian, who was born in Xiangjiang.
But Fang Yihua did not give up being "very well-behaved and sensible" in her eyes, especially Xie Ning, who has a special background, and let him join TVB's 1986 masterpiece "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", playing Zhao Min, and Li Meixian, who has been proven to have a bright future, played Zhou Zhiruo.
This "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the second time TVB has filmed, and the starring roles in the 1978 version are Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Zhao Yazhi, and now it corresponds to Tony Leung, Xie Ning, and Li Meixian, and the degree of attention can be imagined.
The producer of "Di Qing" is Liu Shiyu, who has just been promoted to this position, and the producer of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is Wang Tianlin, who is experienced and rarely matched.
The latter, who understood it, immediately instructed Xie Ning in a targeted manner, although the TV series will have to wait for a while before it can be released, but from the professional perspective of insiders, the results are very obvious.
This also reflects how important Bole factors such as works and directors are to the development of artists.
Tang Huan knows about this, in his opinion, this arrangement is good, the petite and delicate Xie Ning is very suitable for playing that kind of eccentric role, just like Weng Meiling to Huang Rong, and even Li Zizhi to Zhao Min in the 2001 version of TVB "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" in the original time and space.
Praising people is also a highly technical job, Fang Yihua is good, he does it very hard, and Wu Weiquan, an outsider, is even more optimistic.
At this time, Jet Li's gang arrived, followed by John Woo, Zhou Yunfa, Leslie Cheung, Dillon and other members of the "True Colors of Heroes" crew.
Looking at the very obvious spring breeze pride on their faces, Tang Huan couldn't help but think evilly: "In the original time and space, when discussing the success of "The True Color of Heroes" as a precedent for the genre, the most heard complaints were often complaints, how John Woo was a creative bottleneck, how Zhou Yunfa was box office poison, how difficult brothers and brothers got together, how to lie down and taste guts, resonate, and then there was a big explosion. ”
But now, although John Woo in Golden Harvest also encountered creative bottlenecks, he was seconded to DreamWorks through Xu Ke's introduction and co-directed big-budget movies such as "Phantom of the Tomb", and he has long been relieved. ”
As for Zhou Yunfa, he bid farewell to the box office poison early, with the "God of Gamblers" trilogy, he became the most appealing male star at the box office in one fell swoop, and with "Autumn Fairy Tale" became the double actor of the Xiangjiang Academy Awards and the Treasure Island Golden Horse Awards. ”
However, in many cases, the analysis of success is an afterthought, even far-fetched, and you have to rely on yourself to evaluate.
So Tang Huan asked with interest, "To what extent has "The True Color of Heroes" been filmed?
"It will take half a month to finish. But if Tang Sheng wants to see it, some of them will watch it. John Woo replied briskly.
Zhou Yunfa took over the conversation and said bluntly: "They all said that my role as Mark stole the scene, and it is estimated that the director will have a little headache there." (To be continued.) )
