Chapter 63. "Yafei and Yaji" came out (2nd update)
Walking back to TVB, just as Chen Xuanting lowered his head and pondered, he vaguely heard as if someone was calling him.
He looked back and saw that his former good partner Zhang Daming was holding a plastic model there and waving to him.
"Damn, Ah Ting, it's only been a long time since I've seen you as a big name, and you won't look up when I greet you!"
Chen Xuanting walked over and said with a smile: "I was thinking about things just now, but I didn't hear it!" He took out his cigarette case and handed over a cigarette.
Zhang Daming grabbed the waist of the female model made of plastic, posed obscenely in the classic shape of an old man's cart, stretched out his hand to take the cigarette, and said: "You are a busy person now, where you are like me, you are almost a porter on the dock!" ”
"Each has its own duties, and it can't be said that they are busy or not!" Chen Xuanting took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where else can I go? Of course, it's a nearby crew, where a fashion show is being filmed, and there is a lack of a plastic model, so I have to send it! Damn, I really don't know what they do to eat, I just said after the filming started, I really thought I was a eunuch in the palace, and I was there with the rumors! ”
"Hehe, bear with it. There will be a chance to turn over! Chen Xuanting comforted him.
"I don't care, even if I can't turn over, it's a big deal to quit and quit! Hong Kong is so big, I don't believe that I can't mix a bite to eat! But I'm not worth it for Brother Pony! Zhang Daming sighed.
"Oh. How do you say that? Chen Xuanting said strangely.
"Don't you know, Ma Weihao recently wrote a script called "Yafei and Yaji", but after looking all over the Hong Kong film companies, none of them were willing to shoot!"
"Yafei and Yaki?" Chen Xuanting was stunned. I think the name is very familiar.
Then he remembered that he had watched this film in the video hall in his previous life when he was in high school, and he was very impressed, and he just thought it was fun and interesting.
In fact, this play is an early work of UFO (Filmmaker Production Company), which was founded in 1991. At first glance, the film seems to be just a popular "rival film" mode at the time, with two silly and ridiculous friends keen to fight each other, and accidentally hit each other to cause a farce full of jokes.
Yafei and Yaji are such two underworld gangsters, and their farce is to die with a big guy and a big guy, until they become a "Feiji Double Evil" that everyone in the rivers and lakes is afraid that no one dares to accept it.
The jokes in the film are dense and crazy, it looks like a comic cartoon but is natural and clever, the most difficult thing is that the taste is normal, and the funny performances of Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung are even more impressive. What is more evocative than those funny mockery is the somewhat strange literary atmosphere that has been in some passages of the film, mainly focusing on the emotional line.
At that time, Tony Leung was in his prime, and the handsomeness mixed with liveliness and wit was far more charming than the silent and gloomy man in Wong Kar-wai's movie. Looking at the entire history of Hong Kong films, I am afraid that only Leslie Cheung has the same amount of charm as him.
And Jacky Cheung, who played Yaji, basically performed such a silly little brother image at that time, such as another movie "Curry Pepper" with Stephen Chow in the same year, also directed by Ke Shouliang.
Chen Xuanting remembers clearly that in the film, Jacky Cheung also took Alice Yuen to watch the film in the theater when he was picking up girls, and it was a passage in which Stephen Chow dressed as a blind man shouted for help on the street but was avoided, and the audience laughed.
At that time, Anita Yuen was only on the big screen for the first time, with few scenes and it was purely a vase, far from the strong and glorious surname in the later roles, but this film still won her the Academy Award for Best New Actor.
It can be said that this drama is a classic black comedy that is rare in Hong Kong movies. It is quite in the style of British film noir.
"Hey, Ting, what are you doing?" Seeing that Chen Xuanting was stunned and didn't speak, Zhang Daming couldn't help but say.
"Oh nothing, I just remembered something!"
"Damn, I think you're going to go crazy sooner or later, thinking about things at every turn! Don't talk about it, I'm leaving, I'm going to make those bastards laugh again! Zhang Daming took a cigarette and prepared to leave.
"Slow down," Chen Xuanting hurriedly stopped him. "Maybe I can help Brother Pony!"
"You help him, how?"
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to send a message to him, wait for me tonight, and I'll take him to meet someone!" Chen Xuanting suddenly remembered the agreement with Andy Lau tonight. Tianmu opened a celebration banquet, and he, the invisible boss, couldn't help but appear.
"Hehe, you're not trying to comfort him, are you?" Zhang Daming thought that Chen Xuanting was talking and playing, "But don't worry, I will pass on your words!" Let's go! "Caught the plastic model and walked away.
Looking at his departing back, Chen Xuanting smiled.
………………………
That night, Chen Xuanting said hello to director Zhuang Weijian, saying that he could call off some things early.
That Zhuang Weijian is very optimistic about him now, after all, "The Knife of the Wind" can have such a good result, Chen Xuanting has a lot of credit, not to mention that people have already done the work that should be done, so he nodded and agreed.
Chen Xuanting said hello to the rest of the crew, and then went straight to the door of the company, and when he saw it, Ma Weihao was really obediently waiting for him outside.
Ma Weihao did not deliberately dress up, which is far from the suit and leather shoes in Chen Xuanting's fantasy, that is, a pair of trousers and a white shirt, no matter how you look at it, it is a very casual feeling.
"Why did you come out wearing something like this?" Chen Xuanting asked.
Ma Weihao threw a cigarette to him, "You didn't say where to take me, am I not dressed well?" "I took a look at my own dress.
Chen Xuanting was depressed, and he forgot to remind him to retouch, so he said, "I'll take you to the banquet!" ”
"Banquet? What kind of banquet? Ma Weihao said curiously.
Chen Xuanting leaked his mouth and said: "Andy Lau's Tianmu Company is going to hold a celebration banquet tonight, I'll take you over!" ”
"What? Andy lau?! How did you know him?! Ma Weihao's eyes widened.
"Don't ask so much, in short, everything is for your own good, don't you want to find someone to film your scene, this is a good opportunity!" Chen Xuanting did not explain that he was the second boss of Tianmu.
Ma Weihao was excited, "Ah Ting, what you said is true?" Can I meet Andy Lau?! After all, Andy Lau is not only an actor, but also the owner of a film company, and there are only advantages and no harm in getting to know him.
"Do you think I'm like that kind of?"
"Not like that!"
"That's it!"
"But I'm dressed like this...... Do you think it's too late for me to change my clothes? Ma Weihao realized his mistake.
Chen Xuanting looked at the old watch on his wrist, the time was almost eight o'clock, and said, "It's too late, so be it." Besides, you're not going on a blind date, whether Andy Lau can look down on you depends on your ability! ”
"Hehe, that's what you said!" Ma Weihao touched his head.
"The car is coming, let's go!" Chen Xuanting opened the door of the taxi and was about to sit in front, but he heard Ma Weihao say: "It's better for me to sit in front, you have already made such a big effort!" The meaning is obvious, he will pay the bill.
Chen Xuanting knew his surname, and he didn't shirk it, and sat directly in the back of the car.
Ma Weihao happily got into the car and said to the driver's eldest brother: "Go to the sky, you know, the sooner the better!" ”
Chen Xuanting couldn't help but wonder, he really didn't know what kind of earth-shaking changes Ma Weihao would have if he was so enthusiastic!
