The so-called "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first", but where there is a long-distance battle, this sentence is the supreme heaven. In fact, it is not only the march to fight, but also other industries, and the preparation before the long-distance action is very important, and this principle has always been respected.

"Farewell My Concubine" took a long time from planning filming to deciding on the actors, and now it has been confirmed that it will be filmed in the mainland, so it needs a big future who can coordinate this film.

Originally, the director of this film was Chen Kaige, a famous Chinese director, and he also thought about whether to invite him to direct, but unfortunately Kaige was arguing with the higher-level cultural department for his other film "Yellow Earth", and he didn't care about making other films at all.

And now I don't want to put too much cooperation in the mainland, now the fifth generation of directors in the mainland has just grown up, and has not extended the concept of good movies from the standard of "character personality on the basis of good stories", has not taken into account the development factors of international films, and still stays in the theoretical circle of the fourth generation of directors, and has not developed the film language well.

At this time, the directors of the mainland were not unable to make good films, including many high-quality films recognized in the international film industry, which were the works of domestic directors during this period. But the breadth of their thinking makes it difficult for them to make a good movie with gay overtones like "Farewell My Concubine", after all, homosexuality is still a "hooligan" behavior to be cracked down on in the mainland, and the subconscious resistance in the heart cannot be ignored.

And not long after the catastrophe, I am afraid that many directors will not dare to take over such a film. Even if there are those who are bold. You also have to think about the future of the other party, maybe such a film will make it possible for a director to be criticized or even punished.

But among the Hong Kong directors who can really handle this film, there are only a handful of directors. The examples that can be compared are quite limited, and the range of options available is very small.

Guan Jinpeng is not only quite delicate in his performance, but also can consider from a woman's point of view, and Cheng Dieyi is a typical female psychology, which is very in line with Guan Jinpeng's style.

But Guan Jinpeng's current heat is not so pure enough, I am afraid that he will not be able to fully display the essence of the story of "Farewell My Concubine". One more point. No one knows about Guan Jinpeng's orientation yet, so he is worried that this will have some bad effects on him.

In the end, Mo Fei still selected Guan Jinpeng into the director team of "Farewell My Concubine". But he is the assistant director, that is, the specific executive director, and uses this film to cultivate his "alternative art" expressiveness.

The candidate for the chief director fell on the veteran director Li Hanxiang, who had just finished filming "Fire Dragon". Although he made a lot of Fengyue films during his frustration. But the ability of that first-hand literary film has not been put down. is still one of the most powerful directors in Hong Kong, and in the early eighties, he began to shoot literary films again, and won an Academy Award actor.

In addition, Li Hanxiang also has some advantages that others can't compare, just like Mo Fei said when he invited Li Hanxiang, Li Hanxiang was born in the Republic of China period, and went to art school in Beiping at that time, and has a very real understanding of the history and literary and artistic circles of the Republic of China, which is a very rare existence among Hong Kong literary film directors.

In addition, Li Hanxiang also has experience in co-making films with the mainland. Familiar enough with the relationship between various departments, there will be no problems with the coordination arrangement in the early stage. And now among the Hong Kong directors. Dare to go to the mainland to cooperate in filming, Li Hanxiang is definitely the first.

Li Hanxiang is really not simple, as soon as he took over the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", he contacted the relevant departments in the mainland, and Liao Yiyuan cooperated with the layout of the venues, facilities and so on needed by the crew in the mainland. Even the guidance and stand-in for Peking Opera that the crew needed, they personally recruited a few disciples of Fan Chrysanthemum to serve as them, and took into account all the difficulties such as language barriers.

Before leaving for the mainland for preliminary preparations, Li Hanxiang also put forward his only request for directing "Farewell My Concubine", that is, he hoped that Mo Fei would have the opportunity to give Liang Jiahui some care, because Liang Jiahui was banned by Taiwan before, and he was dragged down because of his cooperation with the mainland.

And Mo Fei is an outlier in the Hong Kong film industry, I don't know what methods he used, or what mysterious relationship he used, in short, he is the only one who has cooperated with the mainland, but has not been banned by Taiwan, and even "Party A and Party B" starring Li Lingyu can be released in Taiwan, Li Hanxiang concluded that Mo Fei will definitely be able to solve Liang Jiahui's troubles.

Liang Jiahui is also an actor who likes it very much, he is definitely in the top layer of Hong Kong actors, and this person's tenacity is also quite admirable, after being banned by Taiwan, he would rather continue to be banned, set up a stall as a small trader and hawker, and write a letter of repentance for what he thinks is right, this bit of backbone is precious in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Of course, Mo Fei will not remember this person, and Liang Jiahui is also an actor that Mo Fei will definitely praise in the future, but not now. Liang Jiahui was banned by Taiwan after starring in "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", this period of time seems to be a kind of torture, but it is more of an experience and improvement for Liang Jiahui's state of mind.

Therefore, Liang Jiahui's matter will have to wait for almost a year before he can make a move. As for why Mo Fei's movies can be eaten in Taiwan, it's just because of the previous affair in California, or a relationship, the woman's family is monstrous in Taiwan, and now it's cheaper.

……

Wireless's attention to ATV now, or the attention to Mo Fei, has risen to a very high level, as long as ATV and Phoenix Culture have a little action, it will make many people in wireless nervous.

The news that Phoenix Culture is going to start filming "Fengshen Bang" has spread to wireless through some channels, and Fang Yihua, who is currently in charge of the film and television and artist departments, has a headache. Could it be that it has now become a major evil in her heart.

To say that Fang Yihua was so right at the beginning, it was not entirely because of selfishness, but to a certain extent, it was also for the sake of the Yi family. She always felt that she was a careerist. will not be subservient to others for a long time, and one day will become the second Zou Wenhuai, so he will try his best to curb Mo Fei's growth from the early stage of cooperation.

It's just that her methods are too trendy, there is no co-optation at all, the blow is too serious, and the intention of rejection and squeeze is too obvious, not only did not suppress Mo Fei's ambition. even made Mo Fei the enemy of the entire Wei clan, and now she is helping ATV to play wireless, which is indeed something she didn't expect.

Fang Yihua's heart was in chaos. As for Mo Fei, because she and the Shan family, and wireless got to such a point, she didn't know if she had done something wrong, maybe there was. But if she did it again, she'd do it again. First of all, she would never allow the Tsushi or Wireless to become the cradle of Mo Fei's growth. Secondly, she doesn't have any feelings for the Twin Clan, wireless is what she likes and values the most, even if she fights with Mo Fei, wireless can't collapse, as long as wireless doesn't collapse, her desire for power and control can continue, and everything else is not within the scope of her worries.

The children of the Tsui clan? Then don't worry about how many movies you have made over the years. How much money is made, and Shaw Brothers' business is not only about movies. Earned so much money. There is only a small part of the investment in wireless, the real majority of the investment is in Singapore and Canada, and those assets are controlled by the children of the Dian family, so the shares of wireless are equivalent to her private property, and she can play how she likes.

Calling his most confidant Zeng Lizhen to the office, Fang Yihua rubbed his temples and asked, "Ah Zhen, how is the filming of our new drama, have you brought any good scripts recently?" ”

Zeng Lizhen knew that Fang Yihua was worried now, this was not a good sign, so she was a little cautious and said: "Aunt Fang, "Great Hong Kong" has already been filmed halfway, and it will definitely be able to catch up with the normal broadcast." There are also several new scripts, and there are two scripts for modern dramas, one is "Happy Female Ghost", which writes about the love between humans and ghosts, and the other is "Rogue Tycoon", which writes about family grievances; There is also a script for a costume drama "Xue Ding Mountain". ”

Fang Yihua listened to Zeng Lizhen's report, rubbed his head, nodded at the same time, and said: "That is very good at modern dramas, and now he has made that "One Liter of Tears" adapted from a true story, using the experience of a Japanese to grab ratings, let's not fight him hard in modern dramas." Take the script of "Xue Dingshan" you said to me after you finish it, and "Yang Jiajiang" should also be filmed as soon as possible. ”

"I know Aunt Fang, the preparation for "Yang Family General" is almost complete, so I will arrange for someone to hurry up and strive to start filming in June." Zeng Lizhen was about to turn around and leave as she spoke, Fang Yihua's attitude was very wrong today, and she didn't look angry at all, which made people feel even more panicked.

"Well, there's one more thing." Zeng Lizhen wanted to leave, but Fang Yihua hadn't finished speaking, and said: "I have a piece of news, saying that Phoenix Culture is going to make a costume drama, and the theme is "Fengshen List", which should be for our Yang family in the future, you see if there are any suitable films that can top it." ”

When Zeng Lizhen heard this, she understood why Fang Yihua didn't get angry today, it turned out that the previous ones were no longer important. But at this time, she needs to pay more attention, she doesn't dare to come up with ideas casually, if it doesn't work out, what is waiting for her is a ruthless thunderbolt, can you bear it, or you haven't done it too much.

replied cautiously: "Aunt Fang, I think our "Yang Family General" is very powerful, bringing together almost all the leading flowers and Xiaosheng of wireless, it is not too much to say that the stars are shining, there has never been such a drama in the history of wireless, I think this one is enough." ”

Fang Yihua is very satisfied with this Yang Jiajiang, which can be described as a big cast that integrates wireless only with all its might, and is specially prepared for the Taiwan celebration drama to fight ATV.

But it's not just this one, if you want to deal with Mo Fei's Phoenix culture, you must have enough firepower, Fang Yihua waved his hand and said: "He wants to shoot a fairy and ghost thing like "Feng Shen Bang", then we will use the fairy and ghost things to fight him in the ring, you go to someone to write a script for "Journey to the West", don't write it according to the original theme, try to be funny, you find a few more people, let them write it separately, and then choose the best script."

Hmph, there are only a few actors in Phoenix Culture, and they dare to shoot a big drama like "Fengshen Bang", and it took a lot of effort to make a wireless four years ago, so I want to see how he shoots it. If he plans to use this "Fengshen Bang" to do ATV's Taiwan celebration drama, we will use "Yang Jiajiang" and "Journey to the West" to snipe him hard to see if he can be so crazy this time. ”

Because I really have the bottom in my heart, I feel that wireless has taken the lead this time, and can collect all the news of "Fengshen List", and then have a target, so this time with Mo Fei's news, Fang Yihua did not drop the phone again, but was still a little happy.

It was at the recording site of the "Miss Asia" program, and for no reason she sneezed a few times, and Honggu, who was sitting in the judges' seat, turned her head suspiciously, and said that it could be that she didn't have a cold last night without a quilt, but his body has always been very strong. It must be because he has too many women and deserves it. (To be continued......)
