Chapter 306 Strange whereabouts

The box office competition for this year's Spring Festival stalls has come to an end, and the winner naturally belongs to Dongcheng Images. Several Spring Festival works such as Golden Harvest and New Art City have not even exceeded 5 million at the box office. Especially in the later stage, the movies they were preparing to attack "The Saint of Gambling" were suddenly beaten at the box office.

Not only several films of New Arts City and Golden Harvest have been affected, but even "Mong Kok Carmen", which belongs to the unified production of Dongcheng Images, has also shrunk seriously due to the strong box office of "The Saint of Gambling".

Since the title of the Spring Festival file, there has never been such a situation in Hong Kong movies. One should have been a time when the strong collided and the good movies were repeated. unexpectedly became a dominant family, and the most helpless thing is that in addition to "Mong Kok Carmen" and later "The Saint of Gambling", I can't find a few movies to watch?

As soon as such a situation appeared, it naturally made insiders in the film industry feel very frightened.

At this point, they began to pay attention and get nervous.

Is the quality of the movie "The Saint of Gambling" excellent? Obviously not, even if its box office is magical, it still can't conquer them insiders. The cost of a film is not high, a series of newcomer productions, and the plot is rough...... If the only thing that can be said to be a bright spot, it should be that gambling movies have become popular because of "God of Gamblers". Coupled with the idea that Lu Yan matched it with special functions, there are naturally many highlights. And although the plot is old-fashioned, the details are very tight. Especially Stephen Chow's 'nonsensical' performance, with Wu Mengda, they immediately complement each other

But such a movie that everyone recognizes as not a success, swept the Spring Festival stalls at the box office. became the box office champion of the year, and even surpassed "The True Color of Heroes" to reach the box office record of Hong Kong films. Moreover, it is the first Hong Kong film to break through 50 million

In fact, everyone has overlooked an important point, that is, the main reason why they think so is that they compare "The Saint of Gambling" with some other works of Dongcheng Imaging.

In everyone's opinion, a big reason for the success of "The Saint of Gambling" is because the screenwriter of this movie is Lu Yan. But in fact, in addition to the idea of a special function in this script, some of the plots of the rest of the film were discussed by Stephen Chow and Liu Zhenwei little by little.

Therefore, many filmmakers have not yet reflected. On the contrary, in newspapers and periodicals, there were a lot of stories about Hong Kong films in trouble. Will Lu Yan be able to successfully lead the 'reform' of the Hong Kong film market?

Although people in the film industry did not recognize it, Lu Yan is already a well-deserved leader of the new film in the eyes of media reporters.

From "The True Color of Heroes", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Rouge Buckle", "God of Gamblers", "Mong Kok Carmen", "Saint of Gambling" independently directed by him...... These movies labeled with Dongcheng Images all have Lu Yan's figure more or less. And Dongcheng Imaging will have such a reputation, it is at the beginning that several movies directed by Lu Yan independently were sold well and had a good reputation

It is precisely because of the new (wave) tide movie that only Lu Yan has embarked on a unique path again. This genius director is not only talented in filming, screenwriting and other aspects related to films, but also dazzling in his style and publicity techniques. Looking back, in the past two years, most of the headlines in the entertainment section of the entire media industry belong to Lu Yan

Even some financial newspapers and periodicals have reported on Lu Yan. This posterior boy started from scratch to make the image of Dongcheng bigger and bigger. Even if it is not acquired by 1P Company, the value of Dongcheng Imaging alone is already the most important film company in the Hong Kong film industry

Because of the limelight of this year's Spring Festival, Dongcheng Imaging seems to have been promoted by many entertainment newspapers and magazines to become the leader of Hong Kong film companies for a while.

So now Lu Yan has suddenly become the object of urgent search for all media reporters

If it was because of a series of lace news, topic kings and the recent box office events of "The Saint of Gambling" before, then this time they only hope that Lu Yan can continue the topic last time. Let's comment on Hong Kong films, whether they hope to carry the banner of reform of Hong Kong films.

But since the last time he was waited by a reporter on the filming set of "Rock and Roll Youth", Lu Yan has become a mystery every time he enters and leaves the filming set

Even, many times, reporters waited outside the set for a day and night without seeing Lu Yan's whereabouts

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Director Wang, didn't Yan Zai come today?"

"No, I've directed these recent scenes." Wong Kar-wai is also quite helpless about these reporters he has often met in the past few days, of course he knows why reporters are waiting for Lu Yan every day, which is nothing more than a question about the future direction of Hong Kong films.

It's just that Lu Yan doesn't often come to the shooting scene recently. Even when I came, I came in the car of other team members. After seeing how the shooting went, he left in a hurry.

However, many reporters still have some understanding of the current dynamics of "Rock and Roll Youth". So a reporter immediately asked: "Isn't "Rock and Roll Youth" being filmed recently? Has Yan Zai entrusted the directing rights to you? ”

What Lu Yan is doing, the reporters can't guess.

And Wong Kar-wai also retorted with a wry smile: "It's right to shoot in a hurry, but there is still a period of time before it is completed." The reason why I rushed to shoot was because I wanted to shoot the scenes that belonged to me as soon as possible. And the Spring Festival is coming soon, so everyone should have time to rest. But the release time of "Rock and Roll Youth" should be shortly after the Spring Festival. So everybody is very attentive......"

The "......" reporters looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

Regarding the fact that "Rock and Roll Youth" is being filmed, the internal staff can easily circulate it. But basically, if a movie is filmed, then it is not far from completion.

But according to Wong Kar-wai, "Rock and Roll Youth" should not be finished at all. As for his reasons, none of the reporters present believed it. It's just that these reporters really can't figure out what Lu Yan is doing to put his movies aside? Or even mysteriously disappearing?

Everyone can't guess, and even many staff members of "Rock and Roll Youth" don't know where Lu Yan went, but you must know that this director Lu Da attaches great importance to this movie. Even the scenes that were not directed by him that day would come over to supervise and communicate with Wong Kar-wai. But in the past two days, it has disappeared unexpectedly......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

However, this disappearance did not take long, and Lu Yan unexpectedly came to the filming site of "Rock and Roll Youth" the next day.

"Yan Zai, what kind of drama are you playing? The elusive ......"

"Yes, director, where have you been for the past two days?"

………………………………………………

Du Kefeng and many behind-the-scenes personnel were a little surprised when they saw Lu Yan's appearance. However, the members of the Band Beynd are very calm.

They knew that Lu Yan had been busy holding concerts for everyone in the past two days. And although he was filming in the past two days, Lu Yan would go over to see the practice of the Beynd members in the evening.

"It's nothing, just go back and rest......" Lu Yan smiled.

Yi Shouyi looked at Lu Yan's expression, and immediately snickered a little when he heard this. He knew Lu Yan's whereabouts better, but the boss would say as if he was sick

When Du Kefeng heard this, they really thought that Lu Yan was sick. also deliberately told Lu Yan to pay attention to his body

"If you don't come again, I'm going to be annoyed by those reporters for the past two days."

Listening to Wong Kar-wai's complaints, Lu Yan snickered: "Isn't this creating exposure for you, Director Wang Da......"

"The person you rarely come to drive Hong Kong movies to be "**" again is you, not me."

“…… Your "Mong Kok Carmen", don't those critics say it is a revolutionary movie? A new genre of gangster action movies has emerged...... Anyway, you have your share."

"Yan Zai, you don't really want to ......" Wong Kar-wai didn't care about Lu Yan's ridicule, because he obviously heard the meaning from the other party's words. Don't be too impulsive, those media are just praising ...... Our Dongcheng image is only a few years old, and the foundation is not stable."

"That's what I said......" Lu Yan didn't expect that the ambiguity of his words would make Wong Kar-wai so misunderstood. But this thing, in fact, Lu Yan has been doing it. But he didn't say it, and the outside world didn't get to know it deeply.

They all said that Lu Yan was a talented director, but they didn't pay attention to why Lu Yan made different styles of movies. Is it just to secure the title of 'ghost director'?

Apparently not

Start by instilling innovation within your own company and avoid following the trend. The work should be excellent...... In a good mode, the filmmakers who come out will naturally have their own style.

And once Dongcheng Imaging rose, the movies were so successful and excellent. The influence brought by it naturally covers the Hong Kong film industry. When the time comes, film companies such as Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest will not be able to change or seek refinement. Unless they are willing to give up the film market and be completely defeated by Lu Yan, a young boy

But even if they lose, there will naturally be new filmmakers. As long as the environment of the film market is good, then the movies that come out will naturally be better. Follow-up films, shoddy movies, there will be nowhere to hide
