The preview screening of "Best Partners 2 Shows Their Powers" was a success as expected.

The high-tech coupled with the visual and visual stimulation brought by various explosions is obviously still very popular with the audience, coupled with the consistent comedy and humor style of Hong Kong dramas, the movie won warm applause from everyone after the end.

In the Hong Kong film industry in the mid-to-early 80s, the question belonged to New Arts City.

Even if the qualifications are not as old as Shaw Brothers and the capital is not as rich as Golden Harvest, relying on the extremely talented seven-person working group, the collision and fusion of inspiration between each other still shoot one classic and best-selling Hong Kong film one after another.

Now Xinyicheng has shown its vigor and ability to surpass the two old film companies, and even forced Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw, two film tycoons with deep personal enmity, to cooperate to fight against the powerful Xinyicheng Film Company.

The "Best Partner" series is undoubtedly a representative film among the films shot by Xinyicheng Film Company.

Because the first three films in this series won the box office championship in 82, 83 and 84 respectively, the momentum was unparalleled for a while.

Jiahe and Shaw Brothers were forced to be very embarrassed, and Shaw Brothers was even more unbearable.

Externally, under the onslaught of the new art city and the increasing number of film companies that have sprung up like mushrooms, internally, Shaw Brothers films still maintain the shooting methods and techniques of the 70s.

The so-called four directors can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the times, and it is useless to have a Wang Jing in the air.

In addition, Shao Daheng obviously focused his career on the rapidly growing and fruitful television industry.

and Fang Yihua was ruthless after he came to power, treating employees very harshly, and even the TV production that Shao Daheng valued was very critical, not to mention the Shaw Brothers Film Company, which was getting worse and worse, Fang Yihua was an important representative of supporting the closure of Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Under pressure from many parties, Shao Tycoon finally made the decision to resell his Shaw Brothers Cinemas in 85, and in 87, Shaw Brothers Film Company officially ceased production, marking that the Shaw Brothers can only exist in history.

However, in the late 80s and early 90s, it was still the heyday of Hong Kong films, although this scenery has long been full of crises.

However, the highest box office rushed to more than 50 million, close to the level of 60 million, and the movies starring Zhou Cheng and others have sold well, which still makes Hong Kong films appear infinitely beautiful in Asia, and has also attracted countless capital from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia to flow into this profiteering industry that is not inferior to finance and arms.

Now 83 years is still some time away from the decline of Hong Kong films, Chen Lang thought of the huge profits brought by movies, and the star-making ability of movies, and his heart was hot, and he secretly decided to speed up his pace of entering the film industry.

However, most of the people Chen Lang knows now are from the music world, and he is still very unfamiliar with the film industry.

Chen Lang knows that whether it is film or music, it is a complex circle, without a certain number of connections, it is too difficult to get ahead only by relying on his own talent.

Therefore, Chen Lang feels that before he really wants to show his strength in the film industry, it is necessary to make a certain reputation in the film industry.

So after the movie ended, Chen Lang found Xu Guanjie, "Ah Sam, under normal circumstances, newcomers mail movie scripts to major film companies, do they have a good chance of being selected?" ”

Xu Guanjie was a little strange when he heard this, but he still replied seriously, "It is still very difficult for ordinary newcomers to be hired by the company, especially for large film companies. In addition to the script being excellent, it also requires a certain amount of luck, and even if it is chosen, the price is generally not high.

To be honest, in the film industry, you are likely to be an instant hit as an actor in front of the stage, but it is very difficult to be a screenwriter behind the scenes.

Nowadays, many film companies don't pay attention to the script, and some film shooting only has an outline, and then they think about the plot when shooting, and when they think of it, they ask Master Watahashi to straighten out the relationship, which basically makes sense, which is also the reason why Hong Kong movies always have loopholes in the plot.

Because many plots are sudden inspirations, it seems that it is good to be able to mix so many sudden inspirations together, and it seems that there is still a main line, but it is very rare to say how exciting the plot is.

Therefore, the status of screenwriters in Hong Kong is very low, and some famous screenwriters are also working hard to become directors, and they are incapable or even unable to support themselves, and then they change jobs to follow your novels, or work as clerks in other companies.

In short, among the many divisions of labor in the Hong Kong film industry, screenwriters are the most difficult part of the people. ”

Xu Guanjie also had a feeling, which may still be influenced by his eldest brother Xu Guanwen.

Hui Guanwen can be said to be the first generation of Hong Kong's king of comedy, known as the cold-faced comedian, this is also a versatile person, among the four brothers, the singer Ah Sam has made brilliant achievements in music, and Hui Guanwen's achievements in the film industry are not far behind.

Xu Guanwen was the king of comedy before Stephen Chow. From 1974 to 1981, he wrote, directed and acted in comedies that won the Hong Kong box office five times, and in 1982, he won the first Hong Kong Film Awards for his outstanding performance in "Modern Bodyguard".

Xu Guanwen has an ordinary appearance and no exaggeration in his performance, but he has become the chief comedian in Hong Kong with a cold face.

His creations are based on jokes and slang, all of which are excavated from the daily lives of Hong Kong citizens, and he is especially good at depicting the labor confrontation of wage earners, which makes Hui's comedies have distinct regional and contemporary characteristics, promoting the formation of local urbanized and modern new Cantonese films, and also reflecting the formation of Hong Kong's local consciousness.

Xu Guanwen's movies can reveal many problems in Hong Kong social life and the epitome of the people's lives, relying on Xu Guanwen's in-depth investigation and research in the lives of low-level citizens.

In doing so, almost every film of Xu Guanwen is a sincere work of his own efforts, so many of his films can be loved by Hong Kong citizens.

Xu Guanwen's high requirements for the script obviously touched Xu Guanjie, who has filmed films by other directors.

After Xu Guanjie sighed, he looked at Chen Lang on the side and his heart moved, "Lang Lang, you don't want to write a movie script, do you?" ”

Hearing Xu Guanjie's question, Chen Lang did not hide it, and nodded briskly.

"I have this idea, I think my storytelling ability is still good, although film scripts and novels are two completely different literary genres, but one thing will not change, that is, they both have a complete story.

I also like movies very much, and I have seen a lot of them, and with my own imagination, I already have a lot of ideas in my mind, but because I don't have time and don't know how to write a script, I didn't start writing it out of caution.

But I'm about to take the skipping exam, and I'll soon enter college, and after fulfilling my parents' wishes, I will do my best to develop in the entertainment industry. ”

"It turns out that it is rumored that you are going to skip a grade and finish your studies as soon as possible in order to develop in the entertainment industry." Xu Guanjie said when he heard this.

"Now you have become one of the top people in the music industry, if you work hard in music, you will definitely become the emperor superstar of the Hong Kong music scene."

"Ah Sam, you are also immortal." Chen Lang said with a smile when he heard this, "But listen to what you mean, my future in writing scripts is not very clear." ”

"That's not going to happen, you're a big star anyway, and you're the best-selling writer in the fiction industry, and the stories you write make the whole of Hong Kong want to stop, so although the script you write won't be perfect, as long as your plot is as gripping and full of whimsy as your novel, it will definitely arouse the interest of the film company." Xu Guanjie carefully analyzed.

"It seems that I still have the advantage of writing scripts." Chen Lang laughed when he heard this.

"Lang Lang, if your script is written, you have two choices. One is to give it to Shaw Brothers Film Company, although the current Shaw Brothers Film Company still maintains 20 to 30 films a year, but most of the films made are not profitable, or even lose money, if your script is good, plus you belong to the same Infinite TV brand, I believe they are very likely to use it. Xu Guanjie said seriously.

For the genius in front of him, Xu Guanjie really appreciates it very much, and hopes that he can avoid detours.

Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, "What about the other option?" ”

"Another choice is out of my own selfishness, the four of us brothers set up a Xu Film Company, although it is a leather bag company, but with the fame of the four of our brothers, we can still pull down the sponsorship of the film.

However, my eldest brother has extremely high requirements for movie scripts, even to the point where the script does not meet his mind, so he will not shoot it, if Lang Lang you have no other choice, or the subject matter is suitable for my eldest brother, you can give us the script to Xu's Film Company, of course, if you have a better choice, then naturally you don't need it. Xu Guanjie said with a frank face.

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Ah Sam, Xu's Film Company and Shaw Brothers Film Company are my first choice, but I'm worried that what I write is nondescript." ”

"I'm not worried about this, you're a genius in the world of fiction, you can learn the script a little, the important thing is the various inspirations in your head, I believe you are the most inspirational." Xu Guanjie laughed happily when he heard Chen Lang's reply.

"I hope so." Chen Lang smiled mysteriously when he heard this, there was no shortage of inspiration, this sentence was really right.

After saying two more words, Chen Lang said goodbye and left, and when he got home, he pondered about writing the script.
