Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shooting Plan
"Movies from the 60s can actually make such a feeling. Li Hanxiang really deserves to be a master! Lu Yan looked at the 1960 version, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" filmed by Li Hanxiang had to sigh.
Director Li Hanxiang has a high attainment in ancient Chinese history and culture and classical art. The costumes are ornate and the props are exquisite, reimagining the classical world. His painting is very good, and the sets in the movie are all written by him. What is rare is that there are no stunts in the whole film, and the weird atmosphere can be brought out. The dialogues of the characters in the film, the moves and styles of the martial arts movements, and even the spiritual temperament that appear are rich in traditional Chinese humanistic atmosphere.
And this is very good for Lu Yan who wants to shoot a new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". really talking about Tsui Hark's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the plot, characters and places, and the scenery, including the poems in it, are all based on the version directed by Li Hanxiang.
And in comparison, Li Hanxiang is undoubtedly a model of faithfulness to the original work.
"Hmm! When the time comes, I'll have to ask Tsui Hark for help. At least borrow a few people to come over......"
Since you want to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", you naturally need the help of stunts. In today's Hong Kong film industry, if it is said that the best stunt is Tsui Hark's.
As early as 1983, "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" was filmed for Golden Harvest, which was not only a sensation, but also introduced Hollywood stunt experts at that time. Trained a group of local film stuntmen, laying the foundation for the mature development of Hong Kong's action special effects in the future.
At this point, Lu Yan's vision of Tsui Hark can be described as a five-body throw. When the time comes to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", Tsui Hark estimates that he will not have much time to come over to help him. Then, it's still okay to borrow a few stunt masters under him. Cheng Xiaodong, of course it's one. And Ke Shouliang of "The True Color of Heroes" was originally borrowed from Xinyi City. When shooting, just borrow it again.
The reason why I chose to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story" is largely because I hope to break the status quo in Hong Kong. That's what kind of movie is hot, and it will follow the trend. If everyone doesn't think about and expand the way of acting, then it will always be a pool of stagnant water.
And at the beginning, Leslie Cheung strongly supported "The True Color of Heroes", and did not hesitate to take over the role of Applejack at the risk of the company's opposition. Lu Yan also hopes to use the film "A Chinese Ghost Story" to help him officially be recognized by the film industry, not just a popular singer!
"When the time comes, go and communicate with the Shaw Brothers and buy Wang Zuxian's contract directly!"
Of course, Lu Yan is not so kind to praise other companies as popular movie stars, you must know that after the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the most popular is Wang Zuxian. And she also thought that this movie was stereotyped. Since you want to make her popular, you can't let her be stereotyped. When the time comes, a few more wonderful roles will be tailored to help her become an acting actress!
At the beginning, Fang Yihua bought the contract signed by Wang Zuxian and "Gundam" for 280,000 Hong Kong dollars, which obviously shows Fang Yihua's love for Wang Zuxian. and debuted as the heroine, able to shoot "Goodbye Seven Loves". Now cooperating with Xu Guanjie undoubtedly shows that she is very supported by Fang Yihua.
And if she wants to buy her contract with Shaw Brothers, it seems that she has to work it well.
As for Leslie Cheung, it is not difficult to invite him to star in a movie again. With "The True Color of Heroes" in front, the executives of Huaxing Records will not be as opposed as they were at the beginning. What's more, this "A Chinese Ghost Story" completely made him the male number one to carry the box office call. And the image is also very likable, not like Applejack at the beginning.
I heard that the sales of Leslie Cheung's new album "Love for You" are also very good, which officially helped him step into the position of a first-class singer. Especially the song "Love of the Year", the popularity and popularity are comparable to last year's Monica. Such a situation cannot be easily created.
The fact that this situation can occur is undoubtedly the impetus of "The True Color of Heroes". plus Lu Yan himself, he even let his voice out again in an interview with TVB.
Now that Leslie Cheung's new album has also been released, inviting him to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story" will not be full of trouble.
"At the beginning, because of some things, the celebration banquet was postponed again and again. Is it waiting for the box office to break 30 million? ”
For a while, Lu Yan felt that he was not so idle. Once you start preparing for the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", you will inevitably be busy. If you want to hold a celebration banquet at that time, it will be a bit overwhelming.
Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the start of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to hold a celebration banquet. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to spare time, but Chow Yun-fat will also not be able to spare time.
With the box office success of "The True Color of Heroes", Chow Yun-fat and Dillon are all making appointments. Many film companies have targeted them. used to be a 'box office poison' and an 'outdated red star', but now he has become a celebrity in the eyes of major film companies.
Not many people know about Lu Yan's phone number. And now, all of a sudden, it sounded.
"Hey, hello!"
At night, very few people would call him, but after picking up the phone, Lu Yan smiled. He was about to contact the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to contact him at this time.
"Yan Zai, are you free tomorrow night?" Leslie Cheung's voice was slightly excited, and he spoke urgently.
Lu Yan smiled and asked teasingly: "What's the good thing, are you going to get engaged?" ”
"What nonsense! But I was a little excited. Leslie Cheung on the other end of the phone smiled and calmed down before continuing to speak: "I will have a concert tomorrow, I hope you can be a guest!" It's kind of a cheer for me! ”
"Oh? Congratulations! When Lu Yan heard this, he was also surprised. For this concert, Leslie Cheung has been looking forward to it for many years. This time, his dream can finally come true, and Lu Yan is also happy for it: "Your first concert, I definitely want to come and feel it!" Rest assured, it's Hung Hom Sports Centre, right? ”
"Yes! Then it's decided, and they will all come when the time comes. ”
The first concert, Leslie Cheung was naturally very excited. Because of this, he did not send any invitations to his friends during the preparations. And when it was decided that it would be held tomorrow, he finally couldn't help but tell his friends the good news. Lu Yan is naturally the one he desperately hopes to attend.
"Good! Tomorrow will not only be here to cheer you on, but also to tell you a piece of good news. ”
Since Leslie Cheung is in good spirits on happy occasions, he might as well give him a happy heart. Inviting him to star in "A Chinese Ghost Story", playing the leading role can definitely make him even more excited.
[In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Tang Dynasty, in Jinyuan County, Shuzhou, Jiannan Province, the soul of a modern person was attached to a county student named Li Xi, and since then a historical legend has been unfolded that moves the world.
