Chapter 17: A Trip to the Studio
It's finally on the set of Shaw Brothers, and the fan-level Xiao Ran should feel excited. Of course, before that, we need to understand one thing so that we can understand why it is surging.
Later people called Xinyicheng the Shaolin Temple of directors, specializing in big directors, such as Wu Yusen, Lin Lingdong, and Xu Ke. If you say so, then wireless is definitely the Shaolin Temple of actors, specializing in real emperor superstars and good actors, such as Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Liu Hua, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu and so on.
If future fans come here and don't get excited and have a heart attack, they will really be considered strong-willed. At least among the fans and friends Xiao Ran knows, at least nine out of ten are very eager to see the prosperous era of Hong Kong films.
However, Xiao Ran was not particularly excited, just because he had been in this era for nearly half a year, and there were not a few people he had seen. It's just that the monster has been seen many times, and it's hard to regenerate the fear of being there, and it's a human being.
In the office building on the set, Wei Jiahui found the person in charge and learned about all the filming today. On this information, the first thing Xiao Ran saw was Du Qifeng, who was filming in a studio.
Not long after, under the guidance of Wei Jiahui and You Zhi, who are familiar with the way, they soon came to the rather large studio. Xiao Ran rarely watches TV series, but he doesn't know what kind of drama they are filming. However, this is an indoor play, there is no doubt about it.
Du Qifeng is a very powerful director in Hong Kong in the future, and the Galaxy Image, which he co-founded with Wei Jiahui, does not know how many fans have stolen the hearts of fans. A series of films produced by Galaxy in the early days were regarded as classics by fans and worshipped by fans.
This person is Xiao Ran's favorite director in the post-97 era, and his strong personal style and sharp and cold video style make every audience who knows how to appreciate it obsessed. In particular, "Gunfire" presents this style to the fullest, and this film deserves to become a pinnacle of Hong Kong gangster films.
The most admirable thing is that Du Qifeng officially rose after the 97th Century, and other directors have no films to make, or are unwilling to make films when the market sinks to the bottom. He is the only one who always directs three films with a very planned plan every year, all of which are box office hits. can't say that he saved Hong Kong films, but in difficult times, it was indeed him and Galaxy Imaging who supported the crumbling situation.
Not to mention that Xiao Ran likes his works very much, just for Du Qifeng's future achievements, that is, his character is really not good, which is worthy of admiration. However, the current Du Qifeng is not as fat as the queen at all, but only has a little appearance after the queen, which is a bit of a male college change.
Of course, Wei Jiahui and You Zhi both saw Xiao Ran who was staring at Du Qifeng blankly, but there was a flickering look in his eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled, Wei Jiahui pulled Xiao Ran to sit down and waited for the filming to finish the scene and said, "Do you want to know him?" No problem! ”
Du Qifeng is barely a late-blooming director, he was a director in wireless in his early years, and he was the director in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Because of the poor results of the first director's work "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", he returned to his old job of wireless in frustration.
Later, he was pulled by Xinyicheng to shoot "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts", which established his confidence in one fell swoop. At the end of the 80s, he made the box office champion "Eight Star Annunciation" and the classic tragedy "The Story of Ah Lang", which made him truly determined to develop in the film industry.
Thinking back on all this, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly, he found that he was thinking a little too much. Now it is enough to have a good relationship with Du Qifeng, and it will take a full decade for this old Du to hone his style.
Not long after, Du Qifeng finished filming this scene, and he saw Wei Jiahui and the others early in the morning. At this time, after filming this scene, he instructed the assistant director to tell him to inform the others to rest first. After arranging it, he walked over with a smile.
The picture of Du Qifeng ordering the assistant director was discovered by Xiao Ran, who had been observing over there, but he always felt that the assistant director with glasses was quite familiar, but who was it? He couldn't help frowning fiercely, the assistant director looked very handsome, and he looked like an actor.
Countless familiar faces quickly leaped through his mind, and suddenly, Xiao Ran trembled slightly, and a scorching light was projected in his eyes. He finally recognized that the assistant guide turned out to be Chen Musheng. At this time, he did completely remember Chen Musheng's resume.
Chen Musheng, who served as Du Qifeng's assistant director since 1983, until 1987, when Du Qifeng focused on film. In 1990, Du Qifeng, Wang Jing and Lin Lingdong jointly planned "Heavenly Love", Du Qifeng made Chen Musheng a director out of the idea of promoting his old subordinates.
Needless to say, "Heavenly Love" has become a supreme classic. Chen Musheng is quite capable, and the only Hollywood films in Hong Kong are "Hot Hand Detective" and "Stormtroopers: Streets of Fury", the former is Wu Yusen's ability to show before he went to Hollywood. And the latter is the film directed by Chen Musheng, which is definitely a classic action movie that you never get tired of watching.
There is no doubt that Chan Musheng is the premier action director of Hong Kong in the future. It's just that in the 21st century, Chen Musheng's path of seeking a breakthrough has gradually gone wrong. led to a period of silence, and in Xiao Ran's era, his latest masterpiece is "Three Forks".
As soon as he thought of this, Du Qifeng walked in front of him, You Zhi pulled Xiao Ran slightly, Xiao Ran realized that there was one of his favorite directors standing in front of him, and quickly stood up. Wei Jiahui introduced with a smile: "Adu, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Ran, a very talented screenwriter, and his debut is "Mr. Zombie"! This is ......"
"No introduction!" Xiao Ran finally calmed down the agitation of seeing Chen Musheng in a sudden situation, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "You are Du Qifeng, one of the best directors of wireless!" ”
Xiao Ran's words can be said to be true or false. It's really true, Du Qifeng is indeed the best director who will go out in wireless in the next twenty years, and if it is fake, he is definitely not the best director in wireless now.
You know, making TV is completely different from making movies. When making a movie, you can pay attention to how to shoot a certain shot and how to use the pigment color temperature, but you have never paid attention to these when making TV series, and you can't pay attention to it. Therefore, TV dramas are the most difficult thing to show the director's technique.
Everyone loves to eat, Du Qifeng laughed, and said repeatedly: "After the award, the producer is the biggest." It's Mr. Xiao, I've watched "Mr. Zombie", it's a very innovative theme! ”
Xiao Ran was stunned, and suddenly secretly rejoiced, Du Qifeng still seemed reluctant to give up the movie. The four of them chatted together for a while, and Xiao Ran suddenly remembered a very strange thing, if his memory was correct, You Zhi should be half a disciple of Du Qifeng, why did You Zhi always follow Wei Jiahui?
Now that the person concerned is here, it is really difficult to dispel doubts without asking. He hesitated for a moment, considered his words and said, "Ah You, aren't you messing with Ah Du?" Why do I keep seeing you with Xiaobao? ”
There was a strange look in the eyes of the three of them, Wei Jiahui held back a smile and shook his head and said, "Where did you hear that Ah You is with Adu?" He's always been with me, and only occasionally comes to Adu to help. ”
Accidents, indeed accidents! Only then did Xiao Ran know that it was his own understanding that was incorrect. He shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more. Of course, he knows many unknown things about Hong Kong films, but it is not surprising that after 20 years, the truth has been obliterated.
"Is he?" Xiao Ran had a feeling of sudden realization, he didn't expect that Shuangyou was actually Wei Jiahui's person. Thinking of this, he pointed his finger at Chen Musheng and deliberately asked: "Why do I think he looks more like an actor than an assistant director!" ”
"His name is Chen Musheng, and he is my assistant!" Now Du Qifeng is still very kind, and his speech is not as flamboyant as he imagined, and he has not yet gotten the nickname of Du Cannon: "He is quite capable, and he also has some ideas, do you want to find him?" ”
Xiao Ran naturally nodded his head as if he was pecking at the rice chicken, just kidding, if he missed Chen Musheng and didn't make friends, then wouldn't he have gained a lot less from this visit. Under Du Qifeng's beckoning, Chen Musheng trotted all the way, first greeted everyone, and then looked at Xiao Ran and smiled: "Who is this?" ”
After an introduction, the five of them talked for a while, and Xiao Ran asked for the contact numbers and addresses of Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng, and then left with Wei Jiahui and You Zhi. Soon came to another location filming location, and Xiao Ran tried hard to search among the large group of actors.
At this time, he wished that his eyes were eagle eyes. It's just that before he became Hawkeye, he had a familiar face Liu Qingyun. Liu Qingyun has obviously gotten rid of his identity as a dragon and is now able to play a supporting role.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but groan in his heart, oh my God, wireless is like a treasure. After his visit this time, I was afraid that the harvest would be unimaginable. He didn't know that the Clear Water Bay set was a filming place, and the entire wireless people were filming here, so there would naturally be a lot of cattle in the future.
This time, Wei Jiahui and You Zhi were not needed to lead the way, Xiao Ran walked straight to Liu Qingyun's side with light steps, and Wei You and the two behind him followed with a look of confusion. Xiao Ran was inevitably a little excited when he met his favorite actor this time, but he had already thought about how to deal with such emotions.
He had a faint but sincere smile on his face, and his right palm was curled up except for his thumb and forefinger, which he was used to. This action makes him think well and calms him down.
Walking in front of Liu Qingyun, Xiao Ran stared at him with a look at the national treasure, and saw that his forehead was sweating. Xiao Ran didn't notice this, he just couldn't praise Liu Qingyun's handsomeness out loud! However, he was afraid that Liu Qingyun would think he was laughing. In fact, everyone knows in the 21st century that one of Hong Kong's two dark horse princes is Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun was really afraid of the guy in front of him who was staring at him with "lustful eyes", so he moved his mouth slightly and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”
Xiao Ran woke up suddenly, eager to wipe his sweat, he laughed dryly: "My name is Xiao Ran, I see that you have a good appearance, I really want to get to know you!" What's your name? ”
