Chapter 128: Gorgeous Crew Cast
The Boeing plane flew in the sky for more than an hour.
The airplane announcement finally reminded passengers that they had arrived safely in Hong Kong.
For the airplane, Zhang Shaojie instinctively felt afraid. Although the data shows that the probability of an accident in an airplane is much less than that of land transportation such as cars and trains. But every time he gets on the plane, Zhang Shaojie naturally thinks of aviation disasters
Now I can finally keep my feet on the ground again.
Hong Kong, Kai Tak International Airport, the sun is shining.
"It's Hong Kong!" Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but feel better.
Gu Long yawned, Zhang Shaojie had a good night's sleep last night, Gu Long went home to visit his wife and children, and he didn't sleep well, so he got up at 4 o'clock in the morning today and joined Zhang Shaojie.
Lin Qingxia is also curious to look at the environment of Hong Kong, countless high-rise buildings are lined up, and pedestrians seem to be faster and more powerful than Taiwanese.
She frowned, this feeling of busyness made her feel terrible, and she subconsciously thought of filming nervously all day long!
Zhang Shaojie explained: "It seems that Hong Kong is busier than Taiwan. However, generally speaking, in Hong Kong, actors go to find filming on their own, and few film companies increase the pressure on artists! If you don't want to film, maybe a film company won't come to you in a few years! ”
Hong Kong is not the same as Taiwan.
In Taiwan's film circle, the number of actors is relatively small, and popular movie stars are even rarer. Therefore, stars like Lin Qingxia who have a certain box office appeal are frequently visited by film companies in Taiwan.
Taiwan film companies all have backgrounds such as underworld and political axe officials, and if some artists don't know how to promote, the consequences will be worse than being banned by the media and refrigerated by the brokerage company!
"You said it, you only make one movie a year. It won't be too stressful! ”
"Well, character is guaranteed." Zhang Shaojie swore an oath. The current Zhang Shaojie's character is still full, and there are a lot of festivals. For the time being, Zhang Shaojie's words are still relatively credible.
After returning from Taiwan, he was only accompanied by Gu Long when he went, and when he came back, he also abducted Lin Qingxia.
Powerlong Film Company.
At this time, Tsui Hark had already prepared the lineup of the crew.
Kou Zhong's actor Wan Ziliang borrowed it after a friendly negotiation between Tsui Hark and Li's TV.
After Singapore's Wu Dairong Tsui Hark contacted by phone, Wu Dairong ran over, after all, Singapore's film and television industry also produces some TV series every year, but the influence is very small.
In the 80s, there was only one core production base for the Chinese film and television industry - Hong Kong!
In this era, not only Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Singapore are learning from Hong Kong's filmmaking experience. South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Asian countries have all taken Hong Kong's film industry as a model to follow.
As for the book, it was also the center of the Asian film and television industry in the 60s. At that time, there was a lot of cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Yuben's film company.
There are even many Hong Kong and Taiwanese directors who have bluntly borrowed the shooting concept of this movie. However, in the 70s, Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen, Jackie Chan and other Hong Kong superstars rose one after another, creating one movie trend after another. The influence of this film in Asia has been replaced by Hong Kong films.
Of course, there are losses and gains.
The film industry in Ben could not develop, but the animation and game industries began to flourish. From the perspective of money-making effect and market penetration, the ability of the animation and game industry to make money is better than that of the film industry!
"Miss Qingxia, let me introduce you. This is Tsui Hark, the director of the movie "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: Origin"! The others, these are Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong, who are the best martial arts instructors in Hong Kong. Among the actors, Wan Ziliang is Li's leading student. And this handsome guy is called Wu Dairong, right? After coming to Baolong Film Company, Zhang Shaojie offered a treasure and introduced the main creators of the film to Lin Qingxia.
Wu Dairong, Wan Ziliang and others also looked at Zhang Shaojie and Lin Qingxia curiously.
In fact, compared with Lin Qingxia, a big beauty, they pay more attention to one of the company's bosses and the film's investor Zhang Shaojie!
Zhang Shaojie has a good reputation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he is low-key, and he does not attend many social activities.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shaojie is shrouded in a layer of mystery.
He is one of Hong Kong's most famous novelists, has written screenplays for films like "The Modern Bodyguard," and he is the owner and shareholder of several companies.
At a young age, the achievements have surpassed the decades of hard work of most people
Wu Dairong, Wan Ziliang, and Cheng Xiaodong looked at Zhang Shaojie with awe.
Yuan Heping and Tsui Hark are more calm, but they are obviously full of respect for Zhang Shaojie.
From Taiwan Island to Hong Kong, along the way, Gu Long and Zhang Shaojie together, many things are also made by Zhang Shaojie.
Lin Qingxia has never seen such a strong young writer, even stronger than Qiong Yao.
"Miss Qingxia is Taiwanese, speaks Chinese, Cantonese is still not very used to it, during filming, I hope everyone will take care of her a little" Zhang Shaojie said to Tsui Hark and others.
Lin Qingxia hugged her fists and smiled at everyone: "Qingxia is new to here, I hope you will be more considerate and take care of it!" However, when filming, you don't have to accommodate me too much. If you don't do it well, you can be harsh on me, and it doesn't matter if you are fierce. ”
Tsui Hark looked at Zhang Shaojie beside Lin Qingxia and said, "You are the candidate Zhang Shaojie is looking for, and from the perspective of temperament, I am also very satisfied." But when filming, I am very strict, and I will not look at you differently just because you are the role chosen by Zhang Shaojie! ”
At this time, Lin Qingxia has not been influenced by martial arts films, and her temperament is not as chivalrous and tender as later. Tsui Hark is afraid that she will act in martial arts dramas with the mentality of Qiong Yao dramas!
Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "Director Xu is serious, Qingxia has always listened to the director's arrangement when acting in movies!" ”
Zhang Shaojie looked at her smile from the side, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly touched. is not because of Lin Qingxia's appearance, but because of the undefeated and white-haired witch she later played on the screen
The beauty of Qingxia is not only in appearance, but also in the style and temperament that flow out of a smile and smile.
When that temperament exists, then she is a beauty. If you lose your inner temperament, even if you have a look, it will be boring and like a puppet statue.
―――――――― Lin Qingxia also came.
The lineup of the movie "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: Origin" has made Zhang Shaojie feel that there are many big names and bright stars.
The director is Tsui Hark. Martial arts instructors include, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong. The actors also have Lin Qingxia, Wan Ziliang, Wu Dairong, and the producer is Gu Long.
Of course, there was another person who no one else noticed.
After Zhang Shaojie looked at the list, he was a little surprised-Zhang Shuping. In the list of the photography group, there is an inconspicuous photographer, but this is Zhang Shuping!
Among the 100 most influential people in the history of Hong Kong cinema in the 20th century, Zhang Shuping is among them, known as the originator of Hong Kong art direction! It was he who made the status of fine art and modeling art in Hong Kong films repeatedly improved!
Of course, the current Zhang Shuping's status in the Hong Kong film and television industry is that of a miscellaneous fish, and Tsui Hark has no impression of this unknown Zhang Shuping.
After "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: Origin" published an advertisement to recruit crew members, Zhang Shuping came to the door by himself and recommended himself, because Zhang Shuping did have a little art and photography skills, so he was arranged by Tsui Hark to be a photographer in the photography group.
Zhang Shaojie felt speechless about the random person who popped up in the crew, who was a later heavyweight in the Hong Kong film industry.
After seeing Zhang Shuping, Zhang Shaojie looked on the list to see if there was Wong Kar-wai, after all, Zhang Shuping was partnered with Wong Kar-wai, and he began to be considered a genius in art design and modeling design.
It's a pity that there is no Wong Kar-wai in the crew's list, and there is no potential for anyone else!
After all, cattle people are available but not sought, after Zhang Shaojie discovered Zhang Shuping, his character was exhausted, and he never found the next cattle man.
However, just with the current lineup, Zhang Shaojie is already very happy. Because this lineup is already in the 80s ~ 90s, in the new martial arts movies, it can be called a gorgeous combination!
The new martial arts movies in Hong Kong in the 90s were not produced overnight, but after continuous exploration, they were gradually born and matured!
For example, there were a lot of innovative elements in the TV series "Silkworm Transformation" in the 80s, and later in Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Shu Mountain", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and other classical fairy movies, a large number of new ideas began.
After the brewing of the entire 80s, to the advent of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in the 90s, it marks the official advent of new martial arts movies!
In the past, old martial arts movies such as "One-armed Knife", "Shaolin Temple", and "Dragon Gate Inn" began to officially come to an end.
New martial arts movies, whether it is "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "New Dragon Gate Inn" and other movies that do not use a large number of computer special effects, or Hong Kong comic adaptations "Fengyun" and "Chinese Heroes", which are famous for computer special effects. In fact, everything is changing, and the main core of the new martial arts is - artistic conception, beauty, and visual impact!
New martial arts movies, light skills, sword energy, internal force and other elements began to really impact the audience's vision. Originally, in history, the main ideas of those new martial arts were designed and concocted by these people.
Now these potential talents in the Hong Kong film industry have gathered under their own command!
looked at the young faces - Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Heping, Zhang Shuping, Lin Qingxia
Zhang Shaojie was excited and uncontrollable, the era of new martial arts movies began with the movie "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". This group of talented elite filmmakers in the glorious period of Hong Kong cinema has gathered together, and there is no force that can stop the early advent of the new martial arts film era!
