Chapter 260: Beyond

"Boss, you're not really secretly preparing for the filming of a new film, are you?" Yi Shouyi looked at Lu Yan with a faint look, then thought about it and vetoed: "Impossible, boss, if you are preparing to shoot a new film, you will definitely tell me, right?" ”

Seeing Yi Shouyi's cautious look, Lu Yan immediately laughed and said, "Okay Yizai, I'll make a joke with you." [Full text reading] (hand-typed novel) In the current state, how can I have time to prepare for the shooting of any new film, by the way, how are Wong Kar Wai and Liu Zhenwei's movies doing? ”

"You also said that you were afraid that Director Wong Kar-wai would drag out the scene, he could shoot faster than Director Liu Zhenwei" Yi Shouyi didn't understand why Lu Yan occasionally always asked about the filming progress of the two, especially Wong Kar-wai's filming progress. In his opinion, although director Wong Kar-wai did not follow the rules when making movies. But the progress of filming is much faster than that of director Liu Zhenwei

Hearing this, Lu Yan was very surprised and said, "Oh? That's right, he should be cautious now. ”

After all, Wong Kar-wai made a movie for the first time and became a director. is often joking with a few words by Lu Yan, and he should be in a hurry. And "Mong Kok Carmen" is not as good as other movies, plus Cheng Xiaodong helps. It's no surprise that the shoot is fast. In terms of the roles of the two directors, "Mong Kok Carmen" obviously makes Cheng Xiaodong more interested.

As for "The Saint of Gambling", Liu Zhenwei also specially invited a martial arts instructor to come over. Although Cheng Xiaodong is the chief martial arts director of the two films, he is more inclined to "Mong Kok Carmen". Now that Wang Jing's "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley" has also started filming, Cheng Xiaodong's martial arts action team is of course even busier!

Let's take a look at the shooting plan of today's Dongcheng Imaging Film Company, in addition to the several movies that Debao Film Company has set to shoot. The operation of the whole company has been very smooth, except for the new films that Gao Zhisen and Yu Rentai are still preparing, the shooting plan of Dongcheng Film Company this year is almost the same

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yan's heart slowly relaxed

After a lot of efforts, the current Dongcheng Imaging is enough to have the ability to fight with old film companies such as Xinyicheng and Jiahe, especially Xinyicheng, and civil strife is still there. At first, everyone thought that the interior of the new art city had been settled, but they didn't expect that two days ago, the news that Teddy Robin was going to leave was exposed

For those staff in the middle and lower parts of the new art city, the blow and impact are very big.

As for Golden Harvest Film Company, it is even more smooth. Although Sammo Hung finally lost to "God of Gamblers" specially created by Dongcheng Imaging, the box office of each movie was quite good. What they have to do now is to take advantage of the victory to pursue

According to Mai Jia's plan, it is for Golden Harvest Film Company to take the lead in the fierce offensive and influence brought by Dongcheng Films. Unexpectedly, the current Golden Harvest Film Company and Dongcheng Image, the bosses on both sides have begun to pay attention to the new art city

Take advantage of your illness to kill you

Such a Hong Kong film market is not so easy to mix. If it weren't for the triumvirate of the New Arts City Film Company, and the support of the Golden Princess, it would still be there. It is estimated that the new art city will not even survive by the end of this year

But how can people give you a chance to recover? Dongcheng Image is okay, after all, the two companies are still integrating now. At the beginning, the films that Debao Film Company invested in and shot were not big productions, and the directors were uneven. So the box office of the filmed movie is that number.

However, Golden Harvest is different, in addition to quickly occupying a piece of the box office of the Hong Kong film market. They also used the media information in their hands to start vigorously attacking the new art city film company, according to He Guanchang's idea, that is, to bring down the old rival of the new art city first, anyway, you Mai Jia and Sammo Hung are good friends, it's a big deal to come to our side when the time comes

As for Dongcheng Films, Golden Harvest decided to use better movies to occupy the box office market first. If they want to hit this company, they choose to wait and see for the time being. After all, it is a small company that devours a company like Big Tiger, and it is inevitable that there will be problems when the time comes. Lu Yan is so young, there will definitely be an opportunity to take advantage of it

Compared with their life and death, Lu Yan was leisurely. After he joked a few words about Yi Shouyi, he looked at the newspaper again. As a filmmaker, as a director. To make full use of media consultation to get the news he wants, Lu Yan often even goes to the café to seek some creative inspiration

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

"Huh?" Suddenly, when Lu Yan flipped through a music magazine that was freshly released today, his eyes suddenly stopped on a small group photo.

Because of the big boys above, Lu Yan is very familiar

That's right, it's Beyond

Looking at the small report on the side, Lu Yan grinned. The songs of the Beyond band back then also accompanied his growth. "Glorious Years", "I Really Love You", "Earth" and so on, a series of songs are familiar to Lu Yan. However, the current Beyond has obviously not reached the height of later generations. Even now, they don't have a contracted company

At the beginning of the year, when he attended the Academy Awards ceremony, he heard fans shouting Beyond. It's just that at this time, Beyond's influence is very small, and the reason why it was able to participate in the Academy Awards ceremony was because the Academy Awards had just been created......

And the reason why this magazine has a report on Beyond is also incidental. Because just this year, they co-recorded a cassette with Kojima and Daming faction "Golden Songs". Among them, four of their songs are included. They and Kojima were invited to perform in Taipei in July at the Taipei Pan Asian Music Festival, and they were the only band to perform because of their popular music. It is for this reason that this music magazine will publish an unprecedented report on an unknown band

However, it was this report that opened a skylight in Lu Yan's heart.

Just last year, Huang Jiaju and the four of them wrote a lot of songs together. So I planned to hold a concert, hoping to share my songs with everyone. However, Chen Shi'an wanted to go abroad, so Beyond actively looked for a guitarist. Ye Shirong met Paul (Huang Guanzhong) first, when he asked Paul, who was studying art in college, to help Beyond do poster design work. Paul himself has also participated in other bands, and his guitar skills are very high, so Beyond asked Paul to help him, and the four of them actively prepared for the concert together.

Beyond contributed its own money and efforts to rent the Hong Kong Island Caritas Centre. He also rented his own stereos, clothing, and sold tickets, all by himself. As an underground band, Beyond held a "Forever Waiting" concert. Although the fans who attended the concert that day were not very enthusiastic, the enthusiasm was still there. Beyond invited people from various record companies to watch, but didn't see any of them.

They did everything in front of and behind the scenes of this concert, and even borrowed 16,000 yuan from the bank to hold it smoothly, but in the end, they still owed 6,000 yuan. At that time, their labor was only 1,000 yuan, which showed their determination even more. At that time, the idea was to introduce their work to other friends in the form of a public performance. A more optimistic idea is that the concert will earn a sum of money to cover the cost of publishing the cassette in the future.

I have to say how bold Beyond is at this time. raised money to hold a concert by himself, and it is estimated that few singers in Hong Kong will make such a move. However, it also fully shows from this point that Beyond is very passionate about music. In Lu Yan's view, they just want more people to share their music

It is precisely because of Beyond's passion for music that they have completed another pioneering feat this year. They rented their own recording studios and made a record of the songs they had written called "Goodbye Ideals". From the packaging design of the album to all the recording and dubbing, they completely did it all by themselves, including finding a record store to consign it.

However, they have put in a lot of efforts, but they still haven't succeeded, but Lu Yan knows Beyond's talent

And seeing this report, Lu Yan even had an idea in his heart that the Hong Kong film market, many types of movies are unchanged. He has tried to develop various styles of films, but he never seems to have tried inspirational youth films. Filming such a movie will also be a good guide for young people in Hong Kong at this stage

Tailor the script for Beyond and make their story into a movie. Then they write their own good songs and incorporate them into the film. At that time, it will also be a great help to Beyond's music.

What's more, the plan of LY Entertainment has always existed, so let Beyond become the first music group group group of the music subsidiary of LY Entertainment?

Isn't that a wonderful thing?

In fact, Lu Yan and Beyond have a lot of similarities, and they both stick to their own ideals. Beyond adheres to the path of music and makes unremitting efforts. And Lu Yan is also running for his movie dream.

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

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yan suddenly had some leaks. He grabbed the phone and immediately called Yi Shouyi over.

"Boss" Yi Shouyi pushed the door in and looked at Lu Yan curiously. Because when he left just now, Lu Yan still had a very indifferent expression, but he looked a little happy

Those newspapers and magazines were all prepared by Yi Shouyi for Lu Yan. He has seen a lot of content. Recently, it seems that there shouldn't be any reports that will make the boss happy like this, right?

Looking at Yi Shouyi's puzzled expression, Lu Yan immediately spoke: "Yi Zai, help me go to the record store to buy an album and come back to Beyond's "Goodbye Ideal", you may have to run a few more places." Because, you don't necessarily get ......"

"Huh? Beyond？ ”

As soon as I heard it, it was the name of an orchestra group, but Yi Shouyi really hadn't heard of it. Since it's an English name, maybe it's a group from abroad

"Okay, boss" Yi Shouyi nodded, and prepared to turn around and leave.

I didn't want Lu Yan to stop Yi Shouyi immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you don't have to go." You can help me contact Beyond and ask them to come to the company, they are an underground band in Hong Kong, and you should be able to find them as quickly as possible if you inquire about this. ”

What are the orchestras in Hong Kong? Or do you play underground rock?

The doubts in Yi Shouyi's heart were even greater, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Boss, are you ready to shoot a new film?" Ready to newcomer with this band? But immediately, he said with a strange expression: "But, you say they play music......"

"Hehe, who said that you can't make movies if you play music" Lu Yan scolded with a smile, and immediately held up an example and said: "Brother and Sister Mei are not all playing music, Xu Guanjie and Alan Tam, aren't they all making movies, go quickly"

Beyond? Yi Shoupiao nodded and left quickly. Since the merger of Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company, it was the first time he saw his boss show such an excited look

As an assistant who has been following Lu Yan's side, Yi Shouyi has fully discovered many of Lu Yan's characteristics. For example, as soon as there is a good inspiration and idea, the boss can't wait to get excited. And I have to say that the boss is indeed a guy who likes to use newcomers very much.

No, he hadn't heard of Beyond at all. At this time, it seems that this underground band is obviously going to play the leading role, and because of this, Yi Shouyi himself can't wait to get to know Beyond

What kind of band can make the boss so optimistic?

You must know that the newcomers that Lu Yan is optimistic about all have unlimited potential. There is one point, there is no doubt about it now, that is, the newcomer enabled by Lu Yan, as long as it is the main hit, it will definitely become popular

Beyond is undoubtedly the lucky one this year

was able to be favored by Lu Yan when the Spring Festival was approaching. Perhaps, the appearance of Beyond will break Lu Yan's sentence: He may not direct filming this year. Then the media and the audience will be in for a huge surprise. It's just that Yi Shouyi is wondering, what type of movie is the boss going to shoot this time?
