Chapter 258 The pattern is chaotic

The top floor of the Ray Building

As the office of the high-rise of the new art city, it is also today's 'struggle room'. 【No Pop-up Novel Network】(Hand-typed novel)

The three giants of the new art city, as well as Tsui Hark and Teddy Robin, they all sat in their seats, sitting without saying a word

The first to be unable to stand such an atmosphere is naturally Tsui Hark, who has already set up his own door. He looked at Mai Jia and said without much concern: "I think our new art city also needs to be improved." Otherwise, Shaw is our example"

"Old Monster Xu, do you mean that we all allow the director to modify the script without permission?" Shi Tian frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Even if it is the current Dongcheng Image, there is no such move."

Shi Tian's words immediately ignited Tsui Hark's fiery temper and got up and said, "When did I say that it was about the script, you don't have to talk about this matter all the time."

For Tsui Hark to set up his own film studio because he couldn't revise the script and was overridden by the producer, Shi Tian naturally made them very uncomfortable. However, in comparison, Huang Baiming and they are still more considerate. However, Shi Tian seems to have been very disagreeable with Tsui Hark, and after experiencing the last time Lu Yan handed over the script, the relationship between the two has not been repaired as before.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

You must know that the new art city starts, and the meeting that starts at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and ends in the early morning is held every day. Huang Baiming is thin and thin, Tsui Hark's face is scary, and Zeng Zhiwei's weight can be carried by a girl in the movie [Night Terror]...... With such a painstaking and collective internal friction script, which director dares to change a word? Although there have been cases of defying the law. Undoubtedly, the power of the producer will always be the greatest

The original filming of "Night Terror" changed the director, and the mysterious warrior changed the script and fought back and forth with the "Seven Monsters of New Art City". It is said that it was a veteran photographer who handed in ** after shooting on his own for two days. After the seven-person group of the struggle room observed collectively, Mai Jia ordered the reshoot to be remade, and it was necessary to follow the script. A few days later, the ** that was taken back again, the warriors continued to digress and were honorably expelled for the benefit of future generations. The successor at the top, Liang Puzhi, is a half-ghost guy, born and raised in London, who is not very good at reading Chinese characters, and is presented by Huang Baiming's boss to him every day with a translated two-page script. , a new wave warrior like Tsui Hark, temporarily collected his personality and finished shooting it 1510 according to the book. The movie was released in the summer, earning tens of millions, winning all the opponents in the same period. If a director thinks that he has made meritorious contributions, he can do whatever he wants under the strong supervision of the 'Seven Monsters of New Art City', it is a big mistake. Liang Puzhi's second play in Xinyi City is "Yin and Yang Wrong", which seems to have plenty of time and room to play compared with the filming of the previous one. The script of "Seven Monsters of New Art City" was thrown aside, and the temper of the creator of the best person grew, and there was even a scene, Leung Puzhi asked the actor Alan Tam to ignore the script and play freely. However, Xinyicheng is not the best partner, not TVB, and the 'Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng' is not Ni Kuang who can collect money, and Wen Jun is not the flying paper boy. After another headache of collective discussion, the director of "Yin and Yang Wrong" was replaced by Lin Lingdong, who was a newcomer, like the previous cautious Liang Puzhi, carefully filmed the script, and brought this good habit to the later [Prison Storm] and [Dragon and Tiger Storm]. According to the insights in Huang Baiming's autobiography "The Myth of the New Art City", Lin Lingdong's becoming a great director has nothing to do with the script written by the "Seven Monsters of the New Art City". Liang Puzhi was not completely abandoned, and he was transferred to shoot "The English Pipa", which was shot in London. Teddy Robin followed as executive producer, and the whole crew spent the spring of 1983 in a foreign country. Maybe he returned to his homeland, or maybe he felt that he had an advantage over Teddy Robin in terms of body shape, and he wouldn't suffer a loss in a fight, Liang Puzhi's disobedience flared up again and changed the script back and forth. When Teddy Robin began to exercise the power of supervision, he walked away in a rage, and like a girl who quarreled with her boyfriend, he counted the seconds and waited for someone to coax him. As a result, Teddy Robin shouted: "Kaimera", and became the director himself, and the producer and director did not delay. The next day, director Liang Puzhi returned. "The English Pipa" was released at Easter in 1983 and grossed 13 million Hong Kong dollars. The strict control of the script by the 'Seven Monsters of New Art City' is even more domineering than the "change my word, male thief and female prostitute" that Mr. Lao She wrote to the editor in the blank space of the manuscript: the editor can't write a good-looking novel, and sooner or later he has to kneel and beg the author to pick up the pen; The Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng can always be ready to put aside their status as producers and fight on the front line of directors in person. The strong production habits and self-confidence developed during the period of New Arts City, Tsui Hark continued for most of his life, and everywhere he went, he was full of sorrow. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

What about Tsui Hark? The addiction to messing around with a movie is always on the rise. However, according to the collective meditation creation method of the Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng, even if the roughness of the post-production is solved, the script and shooting method cannot be said by themselves, and the creative excitement of sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes simple, and sometimes difficult is almost completely absent, and everything is like assembly line production: pinching the stopwatch to calculate how many minutes the audience will laugh, cry, and be moved once...... Efficient, impersonal. After thinking about it, the result is: you can't keep guarding the plant, you have to force yourself to be a rabbit running around. Under the premise that it is difficult to unify the opinions with the other 'five monsters' of the new art city, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng began to communicate with Golden Harvest Company, and they are famous for shooting a number of blockbuster movies for the new art city, and this time the communication between the two sides is very different from two years ago.

However, because of Lu Yan's opinion, Tsui Hark finally had the best of both worlds. Eventually, he founded a film studio. But even so, it still made Mai Jia and Shi Tian feel that Tsui Hark was suspected of 'betrayal'

It was also the final departure of a single talent, and today's New Art City has been completely dragged into a predicament

For Mai Jia, setting the goal of a film at 'not losing money' is simply unambitious. He was not alone, plus Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, the heads of the 'Big Three' of Xinyi City, were all carried away by money. Zeng Zhiwei sometimes reminds them: "At the beginning, everyone just wanted to make a good movie, and they didn't want to make a lot of money." In the end, Zeng Zhiwei also left Taiwan, and now he has gone to Golden Harvest......

The analogy given by Zeng Zhiwei is like the "Happy Fairy Nest" starring Mai Jia and Shi Tian, a group of poor children live in a big pot of rice, and there is a bite of me and a bite of you. However, the children's bodies and bones are growing so fast, and the amount of food is increasing day by day. The Big Three are not completely unaware of the four little brothers' active minds. Teddy Robin's play in New Arts City has not been much since then. Tsui Hark finally set up another film studio after his hard work. Shi Nansheng is relatively simple, where Tsui Hark is, where she is. Zeng Zhiwei's heart has always been floating, he has too many friends and too many personal affairs, when filming "Little Life is Afraid"] and "Young Master Weiwei", he and the actor Alan Tam hit it off at first sight, and the producer and actor became the best friends, and they played without hindrance. Mai Jia ordered that the two men were not allowed to cooperate again. There is a turning point in the plot of "Happy Fairy Nest", Shi Tian, who was abducted and abducted and empty-handed, came home and asked the children if they had eaten, the children looked at each other, and finally a little fat man shouted - "I'm hungry". In the movie, Shi Tian discovered in his conscience from then on, and increased his efforts to abduct and deceive the pit to support his family; In reality, there may be a more sensible solution. The first person to cry out for hunger in Xinyi City was Zeng Zhiwei, who was rapidly starting to get rich. He explained the reason for leaving movingly: "The rice cooker is still so big, what should I do if I can't eat enough?" I'm willing to leave, go out, everyone can share my bowl of rice, and everyone will be happy to eat more. ”

The outside media has already exposed many problems within the new art city. It's just that within the company, it is indeed not as serious as the outside world thinks.

Seeing that Xu Keke Shitian was talking again, Mai Jia rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "Regarding the system issue, we will discuss it carefully when the time comes." Now, how to fight the box office problem of this year's Spring Festival? Now that Dongcheng Imaging has become a big scourge, I guess Jiahe also has a headache."

"The highest box office this year is "God of Gamblers", it turns out that if Dongcheng Imaging is still that small independent production company, what if the movie is a blockbuster? But now it's different, and now Dongcheng Imaging has merged with Debao Films. The threat to us is just too great."

""Rouge Buckle" also finally overwhelmed "Dao Ma Dan", Xu Lao Wei, you just didn't wait at the beginning"

For such words, Tsui Hark simply didn't bother to reply. After all, the gap between the box office of the two movies is not big, and Lu Yan's momentum is indeed not said now. In the end, the box office was defeated by Lu Yan, and Tsui Hark did not feel much uncomfortable

"It turns out that there is no need to worry about the few movies made by Debao, as for Wong Kar-wai's "Mong Kok Carmen", it is estimated that it is also a work to test the waters. However, although Liu Zhenwei is a rookie director in the movie "Gambling Saint", the script of producer Wang Jing was written by Lu Yan himself......"

"But the cast of "The Saint of Gambling" has nothing to worry about at all" Shi Tian thought of Stephen Chow, an actor who had never heard of it at all, and naturally didn't care: "I heard that Wang Jing's kid's new movie, and today officially launched our first opponent, it should be this movie."
