………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LP held a press conference yesterday in the conference hall of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company officially merged. As the owners of the two film companies, Lu Yan and Pan Disheng have benefited.
Dickson is still one of the major shareholders of the newly formed East Side Image, and he is very successful as a businessman in his own right. At the beginning of Debao Film Company, he only handed over all the shooting tasks to Cen Jianxun. And this time Cen Jianxun was replaced by Lu Yan, his income will undoubtedly increase, compared to Cen Jianxun as the manager of Debao Film Company, Lu Yan is a very good choice
And the reason why Lu Yan is willing to change hands on Dongcheng Image is undoubtedly to make comparisons in many aspects. From a certain point of view, Lu Yan successfully allowed Dongcheng Imaging to annex Debao Film Company. The newly established Dongcheng Image is managed by himself, so it seems that the company is still in his hands.
And it is not difficult for us to understand why Lu Yan dared to shoot Dongcheng Image. must have signed a secret agreement with the LP company, and Lu Yan is obviously the final say in the filming of the movie, which is almost similar to the model of Princess Jin and Xinyicheng
In this way, the Dongcheng image has been successfully expanded. Even has its own cinema Lu's works have always been favored, and with the support of the cinema, it is undoubtedly Tiger into the jungle New Art City and Golden Harvest, officially facing the challenge of a big opponent again.
As a reflection of Dongcheng, the high-profile Wang Jing is also preparing for filming again after "God of Gamblers". According to his own disclosure, one of the screenwriters of the new film is a popular novel writer - Ni Kuang, it is not difficult to imagine that this movie must be another big cast production.
And the ghost director who is most expected by the audience, Lu Yan, will definitely have no time to shoot a new film in the near future, as he himself said. Because Dongcheng Imaging Film Company has just been established, many things need his personal involvement. Especially in the integration of the original Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company, he needs to do it himself.
However, such a question should not be difficult for our Boss Lu. Within Debao Film Company, many staff members have jumped from New Arts City. And once a member of the new art city, Lu Yan is certainly no stranger to them. In addition, Cen Jianxun has left, and it is understandable that Lu Yan completely controls Debao Film Company
It has also been seen from this that the film market is undergoing a major water change. Debao Film Company, which was once optimistic, has disappeared today. However, the three-legged trend seems to be a real start today
At the beginning, Debao Film Company was once known as the third largest film company after Shaw Brothers Film Company, and it competed against Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest. But it has obviously been in the development stage, but now, Dongcheng Imaging Film Company is in the spotlight. Will New Arts City and Golden Harvest join forces to curb the development of Dongcheng Image?
"Film Fortnightly" once said that Lu Yan would set off the second 'reform' of films, after the new (wave) tide. Lu Yan seems to have really begun to lead Dongcheng Imaging to set sail, and it remains to be seen whether the second film 'reform' will be successful
But there is one point, there is no doubt that as a young man in his early twenties, Lu Yan has successfully become a role model for young people in Hong Kong, and he is already a legend in Hong Kong
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In fact, in the original Debao Film Company, Lu Yan's favorite director was Tan Jiaming
Although Cen Jianxun has left Debao Film Company, what he said to Lu Yan has always been firmly imprinted in Lu Yan's heart. In fact, Cen Jianxun is also very bold in using newcomers. It's just that his success is far inferior to Lu Yan's, but the experience of this predecessor makes Lu Yan very useful. At least in terms of the formal integration of the staff of Debao Film Company into Dongcheng Images, it is very helpful
"I think there are some movies that are purely commercial mass films, but they can still be niche. Don't say art films, the term is wrong. The dichotomy between commercial and art films is wrong, and I never think that commercial films can also have their artistry. I think it should be divided into the public and the focus, and some emotions are not emotionally told by the public, and they are not calculated" Cen Jianxun was said to have good intentions when he faced Lu Yan. He knew how hard Lu Yan worked when filming "Rouge Buckle", and of course he understood some of the thoughts of this young boy. It's just that in his opinion, literary films and commercial films can definitely be well combined. In fact, Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle" does a good job in this regard.
""Final Victory", Lao Xu was only willing to play when I opened my mouth, there are no actors, Tan Jiaming was not a lot of people who dared to use it at that time, but I think Jiaming must be one of the best directors. The screenwriter of "Final Victory" is Wong Kar-wai, which you are using now, the ending you see is actually not like this, and now it is closer to the original script.
The day after Tan Jiaming finished filming, Lao Xu called me and said that he finished filming yesterday, and I said I know, what's the problem?
"Isn't it okay for me to kill Zeng Zhiwei with one sword?"
Wow, my phone is dropping. This is not a random change, so I made an appointment with Wong Kar-wai and Tan Jiaming. Tan Jiaming said: Jiawei and I felt that it felt good at the scene, and I said: No
We argued from ten o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, from the French New Wave, to everything. I said that we are like brothers, you can still follow your previous example, I will shoot an ending, I will cut it, if you think it is still your awesome, you can still use yours, anyway, the money is mine, I can shoot again. As a result, when the shooting was finished, he looked at it: It's you, you're good. So Tan Jiaming has this mind.
So Yan Zai, you must use Tan Jiaming as a director. He's actually a very talented director."
Cen Jianxun does what he says, at least in Lu Yan's opinion, he also has the heart to be not inferior to Tan Jiaming. At least after Cen Jianxun left, he did not take anyone from Debao Film Company with him
You must know that Cen Jianxun is also a little unscrupulous compared to Lu Yan in terms of using newcomers. At the beginning, Chow Yun-fat was a 'box office poison', and he still let Chow Yun-fat star in movies like "Waiting for Dawn". And this movie is indeed Chow Yun-fat's first film to win an award
It's just that Cen Jianxun was completely covered up by Lu Yan in the use of Chow Yun-fat at that time. Because Lu Yan is stunned, he uses more than Chow Yun-fat. Even with Dillon, Leslie Cheung, and other actors, they are all outdated, have no box office appeal and a rookie lineup.
Because of this, Lu Yan was the most concerned at that time. In addition, he was used to using this type of actor after that, and he became an instant hit. It is natural that he has become the director that actors expect the most.
As for the director Tan Jiaming, Lu Yan has always been very optimistic. You know, this guy can be regarded as Wong Kar-wai's master. Moreover, Tan Jiaming is also one of the representatives of the new (wave) tide at the beginning. There is no need for Cen Jianxun to say more, Lu Yan must be used.

In fact, there are many excellent young directors in Debao Film Company, and some of them already have films in production. Although Debao Film Company has disappeared, everyone knows that the film will not be stranded because of this. Lu Yan was also busy and dizzy at this time, and he didn't have time to go to various studios to visit classes
So for those movies that are being filmed, I have temporarily looked at the titles and directors and so on.
Now, the main thing is to merge the two companies and start formalizing them.
For this aspect, Lu Yan is obviously not good at it. It's just that he already has the personnel he has in mind. That is the one who should have become the executive director of Debao Film Company - Xian Qiran.
Although the establishment of Dongcheng Film Company made Xian Qiran lose this opportunity. But Lu Yan will naturally give all kinds of opportunities to capable people.
Although Xian Qiran has not become the executive director of Debao Film Company, this guy is now filming "Brothers". This movie was originally shot by Debao Film Company, and in order to be able to sell well, Li Xiuxian was specially recruited to star
Lu Yan did not let the staff go to the office to call Xian Qiran to come to the office, but went to the filming site of "Brothers" by himself, many reporters thought that Lu Yan should go to "The Saint of Gambling" or "Carmen in Mong Kok" at this time, but they never imagined that he would go to the filming set of "Brothers".
It turns out that Debao Film Company has so many movies being filmed, who would have thought that Lu Yan would go to Xian Qiran?
When Lu Yan rushed to the filming site of "Brothers", the first person to find Lu Yan's figure was an old acquaintance - Wan Ziliang, a guy who had just finished filming "Rouge Buckle", received an invitation to this movie. Being able to star with Li Xiuxian is naturally one of the things he can't ask for.
Director Lu ...... Boss, why did you come here all of a sudden? Wan Ziliang instinctively shouted to the director, and immediately changed his words.
