"The purpose of my coming to you, Mai Danxiong should have already told you." Lin Youlun took out a napkin and wiped his hands, then stopped and looked at Wen Xian and said: "I don't write this script myself, because this theme may cause some social controversy after it is made into a movie." ”

Wen Yi was eating a piece of bread, and when he heard Lin Youlun say this, he chewed it indiscriminately and swallowed it after two bites, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, as long as I can write about this topic, it doesn't matter much to me whether the controversy is controversial or not, I'm a nobody, even if it's controversial, the media is unlikely to hold me down, right?" ”

This is only half of what he said, Wen Xi is actually eager to write a controversial script now, and if it is controversial, it is good, maybe he will become famous because of it.

Lin Youlun smiled, "If you were a nobody, I wouldn't have asked you to write this script." ”

Wen Xi was about to speak, but Lin Youlun beckoned him to eat breakfast, Lin Youlun asked Wu's mother to make a cup of coffee, and waited for Wen Xi while drinking.

Wen Xi aroused Lin Youlun's words, and he didn't care about savoring the deliciousness of breakfast, he wiped his mouth with his hand, and looked at Lin Youlun expectantly.

The cups and plates on the dining table were quickly taken away, and Wen Yi also put a cup of coffee in front of him.

"You're black about Hong Kong now. What do you think about the help movie? ”

As soon as he heard Lin Youlun ask, Wen Xian knew that Lin Youlun was taking the school examination himself, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "Hong Kong's black. I think the movie can be divided into two categories, one is represented by Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes". help the characters be heroic; The other type is represented by Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger Storm" and "Prison Storm", with a realistic style. Focus on exposing the dark side of society. Wu Yusen's black. The gang is idealistic perfection. And Lin Lingdong's black. The gang film is the cruelty of realism. ”

Lin Youlun nodded after hearing this. For now, there is indeed only Lin Lingdong who can be tied with Wu Yusen, but there may be a Du Qifeng in the future.

Black in Hong Kong. In the field of gang films, To Qifeng is often compared to Wu Yusen's representative, although both of them focus on the gangster world, alternative heroes and men's friendship, but To Qifeng's black. The most important point is that Johnny To's films tend to be the subject first, and then consider the appropriate film style and expression. And Wu Yusen's film first considers the hearty and violent aesthetic style and style.

Of course, now To Qifeng is still shooting genre films to accumulate experience, so it is not indispensable for Wen Xi to compare Lin Lingdong's "Fengyun" series and Wu Yusen's "True Colors of Heroes" series together.

After "The True Color of Heroes", the Hong Kong film industry set off a wave of shooting black. The wave of gang films, but because of the rush to shoot and the strong impact of big-budget special effects films, it soon declined, and this year's "Prison Storm" won a lot at the Academy Awards. Helping the movie show signs of rearing its head again, Wen Xian privately speculated that Lin Youlun asked him to write the script. It is possible that it is and black. Help the subject matter.

This can also explain why Lin Youlun didn't write what he didn't write, instead of looking for someone else to write. For a character like Lin Youlun standing on the stage, the most taboo thing is to be black. Help dip the edge.

"Whether it's Wu Yusen or Lin Lingdong, they're black. The protagonists in the gang film are all very mature characters, and I wonder if there can be a kind of black that focuses on the growth of young people. Gang films, writing black on the screen from the perspective of young people. The story of helping the rivers and lakes. ”

Lin Youlun's words made Wen Xian fall into deep thought, Hong Kong black. The gang film really rarely paid attention to this aspect, and Lin Youlun proposed it, and Wen Xian instinctively felt that this was a very good idea.

Lin Youlun took a sip of coffee and told Wen Xi in great detail about his idea of this story.

A group of young people who grew up in a complex environment joined the black in order to get ahead. gang, and then fought for the gang many times, and finally grew into a certain area of the story, which doesn't sound like black. Help the movie, if you put aside the violent killings in the story, it is completely an inspiring story of struggle.

Wen Xian was born in the grassroots class of Hong Kong, and has a unique focus on the living conditions and youth culture of the underclass, so Lin Youlun's story easily resonates with him.

The story told by Lin Youlun and Wen Xian is actually the "Crazy Boy" adapted from comics into movies in the later years, and the story of this series of movies is still the mode of mainstream Jianghu stories, but the ingenious combination of various elements and post-modern splicing make the film present a personalized and fashionable style. The most prominent feature of the film grasps the characteristics of Hong Kong's youth culture, fits the mental state of young people with a strong sense of rebellion and personality thinking to shape the characters, and gives the male virtues of arrogance, daring and love to the marginal characters outside the mainstream, thus creating alternative black characters such as Chen Haonan and pheasant. Help the heroes.

"Crazy Boy" was released in the 90s when Hong Kong films were going downhill, and formed a series of films with high box office appeal and new fashion, which brought great shock to Hong Kong films.

Driven by the "Crazy Boy" series of movies, a large number of Crazy Boy and Crazy Girl movies have emerged in the Hong Kong film industry, setting off a vigorous movie craze for Crazy Boy, which has become the most eye-catching phenomenon of Hong Kong films at the end of the 20th century.

The popularity of "Crazy Boy", in addition to the novelty and alternative nature of the movie's theme, has a lot to do with the social reality of Hong Kong at that time. In the mid-to-late 90s, Hong Kong's economic development slowed down, and the grassroots class, which was not wealthy, brought difficulties in survival, coupled with worries about Hong Kong's situation after the return to the motherland, which accumulated into a potential anxiety in the hearts of Hong Kong people. Vent.

The current social situation in Hong Kong is very similar to that of 10 years later, with the stock market crash hitting the economy hard, the people at the bottom living in difficulty, and the fear of returning to the motherland, there is a general anxiety in society.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Youlun decided to put "Crazy Boy" on the screen in advance.

And the "Crazy Boy" series of movies is very much in line with the needs of Lin Youlun and Yongsheng's cooperation, this series of movies has many sequels, and can derive more movies of the same type, it can be predicted that for a long time in the future, Yongsheng will no longer have to worry about not finding a suitable movie theme.
