On the set of Golden Harvest, Ye Tian, Hong Jinbao, and Cheng Long discussed the start of "Plan A", because they were afraid that Golden Harvest would make a ghost, and Ye Tian did a good job of keeping the script secret, so that when the film was started, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and others did not know the specific content of the script, Cheng Long discussed with Ye Tian several times, and only talked about the concept and requirements of the movie, and did not know anything about the specific story content and lines.

Ye Tian concluded: "The male protagonist has been found, and there is still a lack of a heroine. ”

Cheng Long is very interested in this film, and seriously analyzed: "There are many Hong Kong actresses, are there any requirements?" ”

Ye Tian recalled for a moment that the heroine of "Plan A" had very few scenes and couldn't remember her name at all, and such an actor was usually called a vase.

"Pretty, foreign, by the way, wearing a dress in a movie."

Hong Jinbao smiled: "I know an actor. ”

Cheng Long suppressed the candidate in his heart and asked, "Who?" ”

Hong Jinbao said: "Huang Manning, an actor on TVB, has filmed a promotional video for Sister Hong Kong, which is very good. ”

Huang Manning, should be the heroine of the original "Plan A", Ye Tian touched his chin and groaned, Huang Manning is a wireless person, why use her, Oriental Entertainment is not without actresses, Hu Huizhong, Guan Zhilin, Anita Mui, and even Li Zhi.

Cheng Long swallowed and said, "Senior brother, I also have a candidate. ”

Hong Jinbao said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, let's discuss it together, the heroine doesn't have many roles, and there's nothing to fight about." ”

Cheng Long glanced at Ye Tian and said, "Guan Zhilin, the heroine of "Huang Feihong". ”

Guan Zhilin's dress in "Huang Feihong" impressed Cheng Long deeply, but Guan Zhilin always liked to be tired of Ye Tian, so he didn't know where to start, with his identity as a big brother in the film industry, Guan Zhilin didn't even want to say a word to him, the more he couldn't get it, the more impressive he was, Cheng Long was like this.

As soon as he heard that it was Guan Zhilin, Hong Jinbao gave up Huang Manning. He also has a relationship with Guan Zhilin's father, and according to his generation, Guan Zhilin has to call him uncle.

"Guan Zhilin, it's decided!"

"I'm okay with that, I'll call her later, and now we'll talk about the plot." Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, in fact, he preferred to let Hu Huizhong play it, but Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long both liked Guan Zhilin, so he didn't need to make any extraneous branches, and then handed the copied script to Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long. By the way, I analyzed "Plan A".

The story of "Plan A" takes place at the beginning of the last century, piracy is rampant near Hong Kong waters, repeatedly hijacking merchant ships, considering that the investment confidence of merchants from various countries will be reduced, and the status of Hong Kong's international trade center may not be guaranteed, the British government of Hong Kong began to reorganize the sailors, set up a marine police to resist piracy and formulated a plan, but always failed to attack for various reasons, and capsized for the first time. The second time he got lost at sea, he became the laughing stock of the land police, which then led to a fight between the water police and the land police, and finally ended with the merger of the water police into the land warning.

Sheriff Ma Rulong was framed while performing his official duties. Angry and resigned, the pirate leader Luo Sancang took the British general and his family as hostages, and the authorities decided to use Zhou Yongling, who had collusion with the pirates, to mediate, because it was known that Zhou Yongling was colluding with the pirates. Ma Rulong volunteered to save the hostages, reorganized the Marine Police and continued to implement Plan A, hoping to cooperate with his boss Hung Tianci and his good brother Zhuo Yifei. Wipe out the pirates.

Ma Rulong is played by Cheng Long, Hong Tianci is played by Yuan Di, and Zhuo Yifei is played by Hong Jinbao.

"Plan A" can be said to be Cheng Long's anger and ambition after returning from Hollywood setbacks, "Plan A" broke out of the previous film pattern, although the background is still the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the plot tells the legend of the Hong Kong Marine Police fighting pirates, the film style is witty, piled up a lot of funny bridges, but the story is complete, with drama elements, opened up a new plot mode of action movies in the 1980s, because of all kinds of unhappiness with Golden Harvest, Ye Tian decided to occupy the copyright of the film.

Hong Jinbao spent half an hour reading the script, Cheng Long couldn't wait to take it, Ye Tian and Hong Jinbao discussed the action design of the film in a whisper, the most important thing in kung fu movies is action, if you want the film to sell well, a good action director is indispensable.

Hong Jinbao glanced at Cheng Long and asked, "Tianzai, in terms of movements, how do you plan to arrange it?" ”

Because "Huang Feihong" was a big hit, Hong Jinbao recognized Ye Tian's film concept and thoughts, and the nominal action directors of "Huang Feihong" are Wu Zhu and Cheng Long, but what level these two people are, Hong Jinbao knows better than anyone else, and his heart is clear, and the wonderful actions of "Huang Feihong" are from Ye Tian's handwriting.

Ye Tian said with a smile: "Aaron has his own style, I think "Plan A" follows the witty juggling path of "Drunken Fist", and at the same time, it can also learn from the action and funny styles of Chaplin and Keaton in the Western silent film era, and some scene ideas can be completely copied." ”

As far as Ye Tian knows, Cheng Long's classic chase scene of riding a bicycle on the street to deal with gangsters is obviously suspected of stealing the teacher, however, not all action scenes in "Plan A" are witty and funny, especially the fight design is more of a hard-bridge and hard-horse combat style, which is very different from the previous Cheng Long's "Serpentine Trickster" and other films that focus on the dismantling of traditional routines, and Cheng Long fell from the height of the bell tower to a precedent for a more difficult action film to challenge a difficult life-fighting performance.

Hong Jinbao smiled: "I think so too, the image of an elegant martial arts master in "Huang Feihong" is really not suitable for Ah Long. ”

Ye Tianwaner, Cheng Long did play Huang Feihong, and played Huang Feihong as a naughty teenager, how can there be the slightest image of an elegant martial arts master, and Huang Feihong played by Li Lianjie is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Cheng Long is fundamentally in two directions.

Cheng Long put down the script and laughed: "What bad things do you say about me?" ”

Ye Tiandao: "My eldest brother and I discussed the action style of the film. ”

Cheng Long praised with a smile: "Tianzai, the script you wrote is very good, after reading the script, my confidence is even stronger, although some of the bridges are dangerous, they are definitely eye-catching, and this movie will definitely be a big hit." ”

Ye Tian worried: "Some shots still have to be protected, I don't want anyone to have an accident, especially the protagonist." ”

Cheng Long thought that Ye Tian cared about him, and said indifferently: "We are just eating this mouthful, what is a dragon martial artist, after today, there is no tomorrow, there is no such consciousness, what kind of martial artist, Tianzai, you can rest assured, none of those people under me are bad, even if they let them jump off the building, they will not blink." ”

Ye Tian nodded silently, Hong Kong kung fu films can enter Hollywood, these people are indispensable, although they are small people, the effort and sweat are no less than anyone else, and in the end, they are unknown and leave the entertainment industry, and Hong Kong movies will decline.

Hong Jinbao patted his thigh and said, "It's so decided, it will start tomorrow!" ”

"Good!" Ye Tian had no opinion. (To be continued.) )
