After the completion of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the first thing Lu Yan arranged was to hold a finale party. In order to thank the entire crew for their hard work, he even drank on his back!

Such a move is actually unbelievable in the eyes of many filmmakers. If it is said that "The True Color of Heroes" held a finale reception, it was to celebrate the completion of the pioneering work of Dongcheng Image. Then this second movie, there is no reason to hold any drinking party before the box office success or failure.

However, Lu Yanke didn't care about these at all, although there was no interview with TVB TV station at this finale reception, so it could not play a propaganda role. However, he was originally intended to reward the staff, and he was ready to slowly implant the finale wine party into everyone's hearts and become a tradition!

And after the finale reception, everyone immediately devoted themselves to the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Dawei, I won't say much else. When it comes to editing, you're the pro. But don't cut the key shots I mentioned......"

If there is a situation in which the director will be so rambling, then most of the time it is because of the beginning of the editing of the movie he shot himself.

Although Lu Yan reminded him of this and paid attention to that, he was still very relieved of Hu Dawei.

After the cooperation of "The True Color of Heroes", Hu Dawei officially became the queen editor of Dongcheng Image. He wears many hats himself, but fortunately, the current Dongcheng Film only has two films a year. If you are busy, you will only be busy with these two specific time periods.

Looking at the worried look of the young director in front of him in plaster, Hu Dawei smiled and edited it seriously again.

The director looks like this, he has seen a lot. But the director in a plaster cast looked like he was standing beside him and pointing fingers, and he was a little crying and laughing.

In the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story", everything is going on in an orderly manner. And what really surprised Lu Yan was that Old Man Huang came to visit in person.

Seeing Huang Zhan's enthusiastic look, Lu Yan was a little puzzled: "Uncle Zhan, is there something wrong with you coming here in such a hurry?" ”

"Yan Zai! Give me the music for your movie! Huang Zhan didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I have watched Li Hanxiang's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the electronic combination of music synthesizers has just come out, and the sound is very impeccable. You can experiment with a lot of stunt sounds, and you can do it as secretly as you want! ”

Lu Yan listened to Huang Zhan talk a lot, but he was a little dumbfounded.

"I've heard of actor Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and even Uncle Zhan recommended yourself?" Lu Yan was stunned and surprised, obviously a little incomprehensible about Huang Zhan's behavior.

"What I like to do, ask someone to do it for me, it doesn't matter if you don't need money!"

As soon as Huang Zhan's words came out, Lu Yan suddenly cried and laughed and said, "Uncle Zhan, I really can't ask for you to dub this movie." How could it not be giving! If you don't pay for it, you can't make good music if you can't afford to buy alcohol! ”

"Haha! Or you kid understands me. Huang Zhan smiled happily, and couldn't wait to watch the film of "A Chinese Ghost Story". (Unedited film is called a wool film, don't think evil!) ）

As a much-anticipated movie at that time - "A Chinese Ghost Story", directed by Lu Yan, it was destined to be extraordinary at the beginning. Now that the film has finally been completed, it has naturally made many film critics and filmmakers in Hong Kong talk about it again. They each expressed their opinions and opinions in newspapers and magazines, which obviously gave "A Chinese Ghost Story" the greatest publicity.

Lu Yan's two ** treasures or stunts, one is to shoot brotherhood, and the other is to shoot a big scene of gunfights. "The True Color of Heroes" is a masterpiece of the right time, place, and people to meet the most appropriate director and use the most appropriate actors at the most appropriate time. The film is completely a romantic catharsis of Lu Yan's personal emotions, and the underworld and police mirrors in the film have nothing to do with reality, and are purely a mythical display of Lu Yan's personal feelings.

I'm glad that this young director didn't force a sequel because of the hit, but chose to break through again. Although his choice this time, I am not optimistic. One of the major features of our Hong Kong culture is the "new story", and Hong Kong films, which are the most prominent form of Hong Kong culture, are no exception. And Lu Yan, does it seem that he wants to become a leader in this area?

"The True Color of Heroes" is a remake of the one directed by Long Gang in the 60s, and the current "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a remake of the version directed by Li Hanxiang in the 60s...... Now the hero craze has not completely subsided, but I am already vaguely looking forward to this young director to lead the trend of ghost movies!

As the only professional film magazine in Hong Kong at this time, the editors of "Film Fortnightly" spared no effort to build momentum for Lu Yan. Perhaps, they also hope that Hong Kong films can bloom and reach the point where a hundred birds are contending. The rise of a maverick new director like Lu Yan will either drive a 'new (harmonious) wave', or be completely buried by the status quo of Hong Kong films!

I don't know if it's because of the direction conveyed by "Film Fortnightly", but a good part of Hong Kong's film critics are not stingy with praise. Of course, most of them are naturally affirmations of "The True Color of Heroes". As for "A Chinese Ghost Story", let's wait for it to be released and talk about the quality!

Most of the film critics are watching with praise and expectation, but it doesn't mean that everyone has such enthusiasm for Lu Yan.

At least those entertainment reporters have expressed their opinions, thinking that filming costume ghost movies now is simply looking for a servant street! As for the heroine's choice of Wang Zuxian, it is also a sarcastic description.

The filmmakers are completely divided into two factions, one group thinks that there is really no market for costume ghost films, and the other group thinks that movies should have the courage to innovate and try!

The latter is naturally the representative of the new (harmonious) wave dominated by Tsui Hark and others.

Since time immemorial, Lu Yan has not been a simple director in the eyes of the Hong Kong people. Especially in the eyes of some young people, he is definitely qualified to challenge many popular artists.

"Idol Director!"

I have to say that his handsome appearance, super talent and unruly attitude...... When such a wicked director is often filled with major newspapers and magazines on the streets of Hong Kong, he already has the potential to become an 'idol'.

With the scandals with him are all big beauties, with the strong rise of "The True Color of Heroes", with a series of reports about the club and his mysterious background...... Lu Yan has become a role model for many people. Some people learn from his hard work and self-confidence, while others learn from his recklessness and arrogance...... "Yanzai, tsk!" I'll just say that you and those reporters are just flirting with each other. Look at the name given to you - 'Idol Director', with such a large close-up photo! Liu Weiqiang spread a newspaper on Lu Yan's desk, laughed and said: "Their propaganda for you is much more ruthless than the propaganda of "A Chinese Ghost Story". According to me, just leave this matter to them. ”

"Hey! I don't know I'm so beautiful if I don't look at this photo! Lu Yan looked at the photo and said with a smile: "They also rely on this kind of thing to make sales, how is TVB talking about it?" ”

"How's the talk...... I knew I would rather break a bone! Liu Weiqiang scratched his head in distress, looked at Lu Yan's arm in plaster and said, "This kind of thing, you should do it!" TVB said that promotional films such as costume ghost films are not very good in advertisements...... What's more, what kind of promotional video do you give people! Let them take out the things that the interview team took out and cut them, and you can figure it out! The point is, I was actually asked to talk about it! ”

"Don't listen to the process, just ask about the result." Lu Yan took out a cigarette with one hand, threw it at Liu Dawei and said, "Don't come to me to pretend to be a calf, it's done, in a word!" ”

"It's done!" Liu Weiqiang, who took the cigarette, replied sharply.

"Isn't that enough?" Lu Yan laughed and teased: "I already knew that if you were a strong boy, that is, you will succeed!" That little difficulty is nothing to you! Pan Disheng's schedule, you should also go and discuss with him earlier. Fight for a good time, this year's Spring Festival stalls are indeed too intense......"

Lu Yan frowned, it was indeed a distressing thing to not have a theater of his own. The three major theater chains were divided, and it was a dream to want a piece of the pie.

The cinema chain of the new art city is ignored first. Huang Baiming's three giants plus the movies of Tsui Hark and others have already made them choke enough, not to mention giving Lu Yan any chance.

And Golden Harvest, it is no different from New Art City at all. Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are a lot of them, and everyone's movie release time is not easy to fool!

The only thing left for Lu Yan is Debao. Until now, he had to thank Debao for starting to develop! is dead, and Sammo Hung has one or two movies. Anyway, they all have to cooperate with Reading Power Production, so Lu Yan's Dongcheng image is definitely the first choice!

A "True Colors of Heroes" in the summer made Pan Disheng earn a lot of money. This time there is another opportunity to cooperate, he should not refuse!

"Idol director, what's the fuss!"

Looking at Lu Yan's distracted appearance, Liu Weiqiang didn't understand that he was thinking about the schedule.

"Qiang Zai, take the time to make me a list of movies released by several major companies during the Spring Festival for me to see!" Lu Yan, who came back to his senses, has already begun to prepare to study whether the other party's production quality can threaten "A Chinese Ghost Story". Speaking of which, the 80s were classics every year!
