Chapter 101: Shaw Studios

In the dining room, Han Ziguang talked and laughed with Li Lianjie and Liu Jialiang, especially for martial arts, everyone could talk about it.

Han Ziguang has just practiced martial arts for a short time, but Li Lianjie and Liu Jialiang have no selfishness at all, and they also exchange their experiences in martial arts, especially the integration between Li Lianjie's beautiful movements and actual combat, especially the more Li Lianjie and Liu Jialiang talk, the more speculative they are.

In fact, when Xiangjiang made movies in the sixties and seventies, they were basically in Chinese, and Liu Jialiang came over in that era, so speaking Chinese was commonplace, but Han Ziguang was able to speak fluent Mandarin, which made Liu Jialiang feel strange.

After all, most of the older generation came from the mainland, and the younger generation was exposed to local culture at this time, and they were basically influenced by Cantonese songs and Cantonese movies, so they were naturally Cantonese-based.

"Don't look at me like that, my family basically communicates in Chinese, after all, my grandfather and father also came from the mainland!" Han Ziguang smiled disapprerovingly, took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, the movie I want Mr. Liu to shoot is a martial arts movie that combines routines and elegant." ”

"But is that really possible?" Liu Jialiang is actually a little unacceptable, after all, he used to make movies with one move and one style, iron bridge and hard horse.

"There's nothing you can't do! In fact, young people are more willing to watch these nowadays. Han Ziguang shook his head and said: "Tsui Hark has done a very good job of this, from the previous "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" is a good example, although there are many unnecessary special effects in it, but it is also innovating, isn't it?" And what we actually need for this series of movies is innovation, and when the time comes, we can make more series, such as Lu Xiaofeng series, Chu Liuxiang series, the four famous catch series, etc., all of which can be filmed, even if the box office will not be very high, but some people will buy it! ”

Han Ziguang is not talking nonsense, now the video tape has become very popular, even if the box office of the major series of movies is not very good, in fact, you can make money through the video tape, therefore, although the movies of many film companies cannot be released in the cinema, but you can make money by renting or buying and selling the video tape, the video recorder at this time is not like the later VCD is easy to pirate, after all, the video tape player is still quite expensive.

Therefore, even if Han Ziguang can't earn it back at the box office, he can earn it back through various copyrights, especially if he can sell it to TV stations for broadcasting, it is definitely a good deal, and it can be used as a work for Liu Jialiang and Li Lianjie to practice, which is also very good.

"It turns out that the boss is going to shoot a series of such movies and establish our own martial arts movies?" Liu Jialiang couldn't help but nodded.

Liu Jialiang also understands that he must find a way to keep up with the times, and these series of small production zuò movies should be used by Han Ziguang to sharpen the newcomer, and when he is completely used to shooting, he can reshoot other films.

In fact, this is exactly the case, originally Han Ziguang wanted Liu Jialiang and Li Lianjie to shoot "North and South Shaolin" together, but if they still shoot according to the original mode, it will definitely not work, after all, with the release of "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid", the audience has become a little aesthetically fatigued.

In fact, Han Ziguang also feels that once a small series of movies can achieve good results, there is no need to worry about no movies being released in theaters, especially once the audience accepts it, it will also cultivate a certain fixed source of customers, after all, there is no shortage of martial arts fans in Xiangjiang. Of course, there are a lot of TV series now, so the movie must be very distinctive, otherwise, there are free ones, who wants to spend money to watch them in the cinema?

After lunch, Han Ziguang took Liu Jialiang and Li Lianjie to the set, at this time, the Shaw Brothers Cinema has been rented and sold to TVB, because of the Shaw Brothers production reduction, basically the TV crew is filming here.

Liu Jialiang is very familiar with the Shaw Brothers set, Han Ziguang wants to shoot a martial arts film, there is no doubt that the Shaw Brothers set is very suitable, after all, at this time, the "Shaolin Temple Detective Legend" series of movies, the investment cost is very small, plus most of the Shaw Brothers sets are antique places, in addition to the scene is smaller, it is actually very in line with Han Ziguang's requirements, and he is also rare to find time, Liu Jialiang naturally carefully introduced Han Ziguang.

"Boss! You see, this is the Shaolin Temple in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, where "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" was filmed. Liu Jialiang said with emotion.

"At the beginning, "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" set off a Shaolin fever! Just like last year's "Shaolin Temple". Han Ziguang couldn't help but praise.

"Boss! Don't laugh! "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" can't be compared with "Shaolin Temple"! Liu Jialiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Teacher Liu, you are humble!" Han Ziguang smiled, and when he saw the crowd not far away, he couldn't help but smile: "It seems that someone is filming in front, let's go over and see the excitement!" Now that Shaw Brothers has reduced production, few crews are filming again, I don't know which crew it is? ”

"It should be the TV drama crew of TVB!" Liu Jialiang also sighed helplessly and said: "Now martial arts TV series are much more popular than movies, and now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is filming the third part, it should be them!" Would you like to join in the fun? ”

Liu Jialiang, as an old man of the Shaw Brothers, can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of the Shaw Brothers, and now he is watching the TV series in full swing, but he has not made a movie, which really makes him sigh, after all, in the past, the Shaw Brothers had to make more than 30 movies a year, and at this time, it is good to shoot five or six films a year.

"Oh!? Let's take a look! Han Ziguang couldn't help but smile and said: "Now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is really popular, the ratings have reached 95%, it is really a god-like TV series, it is estimated that no one is more popular than this TV series this year." ”

Liu Jialiang couldn't help nodding, so he walked forward with Han Ziguang and Li Lianjie, in fact, he also wanted to take a look first, he was idle at home recently, and he could only watch TV every day to pass the boring time, and he himself is a martial arts fan, but also a kung fu fan, for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" does not look particularly useful from a practical point of view, but it is undoubtedly very good-looking.

Li Lianjie is more interested in honestly, he has been watching TV series and learning Cantonese recently, and he is also reading martial arts novels, because Han Ziguang said that he wanted him to show the kind of martial arts effect in martial arts novels, and he could even fly away, which was originally impossible, but it could be reproduced in the movie, so he was also very much looking forward to what kind of scene would be filmed if he followed Han Ziguang's ideas.
