Lin Youlun and Qiu Shuzhen refused to sit down after entering the living room, and Cheng Gang spoke to make Cheng Xiaodong stand up.

Cheng Xiaodong stood up and hurriedly ran to pour tea, while Cheng Gang sat down to talk to Lin Youlun.

Lin Youlun didn't bring a script this time, so he used oral narration to roughly introduce the plot of "The Silence of the Lambs". Cheng Gang's storytelling skills back then were also a must, but this story still made his eyes shine.

In Cheng Gang's view, "The Silence of the Lambs" has broken through the narrative mode of horror films, and skillfully combines horror films and detective films into one. Although the scenes described in the story are mostly closed indoor environments and lack intense and fiery action, the use of Hitchcockian suspense techniques and the psychoanalysis methods of modern horror films makes the plot of the whole film confusing, and the audience can easily be drawn into a symbolic subconscious world.

When Cheng Gang and Lin Youlun were talking, Cheng Xiaodong couldn't interject, and finally couldn't help asking: "The serial murderer in Mr. Lin's story, is the real prototype of the serial killer in Hong Kong, known as the rainy night butcher Lin Yuyu?" ”

Lin Youlun was stunned, "The Silence of the Lambs" was written by the famous American novel writer Thomas ? Harris's work of the same name was adapted from Thomas? Harris wrote the first book in the series, "Red Dragon", which has been adapted into a movie "The Hunter" and released in the United States this year, but the film adaptation has not received much response.

According to Lin Youlun's guess, Thomas? Harris probably hadn't started to conceive of "The Silence of the Lambs" at this time, so he took out the film and planned to make it into a Hong Kong movie. Lin Youlun has revised the script in many places, the purpose is to "Hong Kong" this film, if there can be a realistic character prototype as a reference for the creation of the film, it will make the "originality" of this film more convincing, and Cheng Xiaodong just provides a good choice for Lin Youlun.

Between February and July 1982, Lam killed four women, he was a night taxi driver before committing the crime, the victims were all women, and each time he committed the crime, he chose a rainy day, he took the target to a secluded place in a taxi, and then killed him in a coma and committed rape. The corpse was dismembered as a specimen and then photographed. When he was posting these photos, he was discovered by the staff of the shower shop and called the police, and was subsequently arrested by the police. The case caused a sensation in Hong Kong and left a deep impression on society, so Lam was also known as the "butcher on a rainy night".

Cheng Gang had similar thoughts at first, but after carefully pondering the serial killer in the plot, he felt that it had little to do with Lin Yuyu. Cheng Xiaodong recklessly spoke, Cheng Gang originally wanted to reprimand Cheng Xiaodong for talking too much, but it can be seen that Lin Youlun's expression suddenly became very strange, and he couldn't figure out what Lin Youlun was thinking, his throat was like a rusty gun barrel, and he couldn't get angry.

"Writing this story is indeed inspired by the case of Lin Yuyu, and it is not wrong to say that he is the prototype of the serial killer in the film, of course, more of the plot of the film is fictionalized by me."

Lin Youlun said this, but the doubts in Cheng Gang's heart did not decrease at all, he had been carefully observing the changes in Lin Youlun's expression just now, when Cheng Xiaodong asked at the beginning, Lin Youlun was obviously stunned for a moment, this subtle reaction is enough to show that the serial killer in the film has nothing to do with Lin Youlun, but Lin Youlun thought for a while, but changed his mind and admitted the matter.

Cheng Gang felt that there must be something strange about this matter, but he couldn't figure out the crux of the problem for a while. …,

Lin Youlun also found that it was indeed far-fetched to say this, it was okay to deceive a "martial artist" like Cheng Xiaodong, but it was a little unrealistic to hide Cheng Gang's eyes.

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether the character prototype is Lin Yuyu or not, the important thing is that we can link the two together and use the sensational effect of that case to promote this movie."

Lin Youlun said this, and Cheng Gang finally showed a convincing expression, but he then proposed that during the film, he would go to the bureau to borrow Lin Yuyu to take photos of the victims' stumps for the actors to see, so as to deepen his understanding of the role.

Lin Yuyu not only dismembered the victim's body, but also sexually. Taking pictures of organ stumps can be described as extremely perverted, Qiu Shuzhen was anxious when she heard Cheng Gang's words, "Don't, don't don't, I definitely won't look at those photos!" ”

Regarding the relationship between the beautiful girl sitting next to Lin Youlun and Lin Youlun, Cheng Gang couldn't guess the identity of the other party, and it wasn't until this time that he suddenly realized that she was the heroine of this film.

In Hong Kong, unless the filming plan is proposed by the director himself, the actor's decision power can be decided by the director, if it is like Lin Youlun, who has a mature filming plan and then determines the director, then the director is only responsible for making the film, and the actor selection is generally the final say of the producer.

Cheng Gang glanced at Qiu Shuzhen twice, and only felt that this woman was very beautiful, but he didn't know how Lu Dao's acting skills were.

Qiu Shuzhen saw that Cheng Gang did not let go, pouted angrily, and looked at Lin Youlun, hoping that he could help her speak.

"If you don't want to be a vase for a lifetime, then be obedient, you can do whatever Director Cheng says, I guarantee that this movie can at least get you a nomination for Best Actress at the Academy Awards."

Cheng Gang almost choked on the tea in his throat, listening to Lin Youlun's words, as if the Academy Award was a cabbage in his own family, and he could pull it out if he wanted to.

Seeing that his father was puzzled, Cheng Xiaodong whispered in his ear: "Mr. Lin is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards. ”

After Cheng Xiaodong's reminder, Cheng Gang remembered that the young man sitting in front of him had another prominent identity.

Thinking about it carefully, Lin Youlun's words were ostensibly for Qiu Shuzhen, but in fact they were hinting to Cheng Gang that when this film is made, the box office is still second, and the most important thing is to be able to win awards.

After thinking about this, Cheng Gang suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

——

The Silence of the Lambs is a film with a complex plot and intense dramatic conflict, and it is also quite an excellent entertainment. Its artistry is also very impressive, the kind of spiritual confrontation, the stark contrast of "angels and devils", and the inner philosophy built on a slower rhythm.

Lin Youlun's expectations for this film are not limited to winning at the Academy Awards, he hopes that this film will become the first third-grade film that can be used in all aspects after the Hong Kong film classification system, and also set a benchmark for Hong Kong third-grade films, so as to warn Hong Kong filmmakers that truly excellent third-grade films, violence, sex. Love is just a means of expression, and the key is to support it with a good story.

On June 10, 1986, the new "Film Censorship Ordinance" came into effect, and Hong Kong also implemented the "film tripolar system" of "Class I.", "Class II.", "Class II.B" and "Class III" from this day, and the first film to be released after the implementation of the classification system was the super "True Lies" with an initial investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars and an additional investment of 50 million yuan later.

In order to arouse strong sensory stimulation, Mai Danxiong spared no expense in filming, mobilized a large number of vehicles, munitions and equipment, and even persuaded the US military stationed in Japan to use "Harrier" planes and missiles, and with the use of high-tech computer technology, he seamlessly combined various special effects to create a real scene that was almost chaotic. Because this film is full of a large number of shocking violent scenes, in order to avoid the film being rated as a "Class III film", Mai Danxiong had to reduce the direct bloody scenes in the shot, and then reluctantly changed Lin Qingxia's "glamorous. Dance" was cut down a lot, and it was barely rated as "Level II.B". …,

This result is not only a relief for Mak Danxiong, but also for those studios who are skeptical of the classification system, and if such a large-scale film is rated as a "Class III" film, it will be a heavy blow to investors, and other companies that are ready to launch large-scale films will be more cautious before investing. "Level II.B" only strongly recommends that minors watch movies under parental supervision, and does not force them not to be allowed to watch them, which does not have a great impact on the box office, and such a rating standard is acceptable to everyone.

Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. The Hong Kong media and ordinary viewers don't care about the impact of the "True Lies" rating on the Hong Kong film industry, they just want to know what kind of effect this is the most expensive film in Hong Kong's history.

On the bus, a reader with a "Ming Pao Weekly" in his hand was reading with relish, this issue of "Ming Pao Weekly" used a page to introduce the movie "True Lies", and many people on the bus rushed to the man's seat to read the newspaper he bought; The rest of the people shrugged up, craned their necks, and looked at him.

Because of Lin Youlun's special relationship with "Ming Pao", the reports of "Ming Pao Weekly" have always been very "material", this time for the needs of the film's publicity, Mai Danxiong also cooperated to break a lot of insiders, the US military stationed in Japan provided 3 Harrier fighters for the film, and the crew had to pay more than 100,000 US dollars to the pilots, and the salary standard of these pilots was 1,500 US dollars per hour, which was higher than the salary of all the actors in the film.

And there is a scene in the film where Lu Liangwei grabbed Lin Qingxia from the helicopter and flew above the water, and it was Lin Qingxia herself who hung under the helicopter.

In an interview with reporters, Lin Qingxia said that this was Mai Danxiong's idea at first, and at that time she thought that Mai Danxiong was crazy, and asked him angrily: "I'm hanging in the air, so what are you doing?" Then Mak Danxiong replied, "Lean out of the cabin and take a picture of you with a handheld camera." ”

For this sentence, Lin Qingxia gritted her teeth and filmed this drama, and after filming this drama, she swore that she would never cooperate with Mai Danxiong, a "madman", in the future.
