The determination shown by Lu Yan naturally drove the passion of everyone in Dongcheng Image. At the beginning, "The True Color of Heroes" also started from scratch, and it was also from being criticized to a box office hit. And it was Lu Yan who created such a miracle rise!

Since the boss and the director have shown such passion and confidence, how can others snub that ambition in their hearts!

Judging from the image of Dongcheng, all the creators are young people. Counting it, they are all young people who are a little depressed like Lu Yan, but they are motivated in their hearts!

"I have a tiger in my heart, smell the rose!"

Lu Yan, a descendant from Taiwan. Starting step by step from the new art city, from the scene reporter to the director's assistant. and now the boss of Dongcheng Films, Hong Kong's leading representative of the new generation of directors!

Liu Weiqiang, although he didn't have any encounters. But it's always been an obscure little photographer. There are many cinematography in the creation of a movie, and he is just one of them. It wasn't until he accepted Lu Yan's invitation that he was able to display his talent and become a well-known host photographer in Hong Kong!

Christopher Doyle, the Australian who would later be known as "Asia's No. 1 Cinematographer", has won awards, but has never been accepted by Hong Kong films. It was when he joined Dongcheng Imaging that he was able to properly show his talent for the camera. Today, he has become an important member of the 'five-person team' of Dongcheng Image.

And Cheng Xiaodong, he can be said to be the most famous of the five-member team of Dongcheng Image. Before joining Dongcheng Images, he was already a leading martial arts instructor in Hong Kong. Although there is still a slight gap compared with Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and others, it is mainly because of qualifications.

And among the five-person team, the luckiest one is Tim Yip. , who is still a college student, got the help of Lu Yan's 'discerning talent' and brought him to Dongcheng Image. All of a sudden, he became the art director and art director of "True Colors of Heroes" and the yet-to-be-released "A Chinese Ghost Story"! Such a jump in identity can be regarded as young and promising compared to Lu Yan.

In addition to Lu Yan's five-member team, Hu Dawei and many behind-the-scenes producers and staff are very young. Like Yi Shouyi, this young young boy became an assistant director after a movie.

I have to say that Lu Yan is very bold in the opening of newcomers. It also makes all the employees of Dongcheng Imaging Company very young, energetic and creative!

If the media has carefully examined the team of Dongcheng Images, then it can be named 'The Rise of a New Era'. At least judging from the opening seat "The True Color of Heroes", it has broken the convention!

For a long time, it is estimated that no movie can break the box office record of "The True Color of Heroes"!

It is precisely because there is such a pioneering seat guarding the image of Dongcheng, so no matter how much the entertainment media in the outside world is not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story", everyone will not have too much worry.

With Lu Yan, a miracle director directed, then "A Chinese Ghost Story" is equivalent to 'everything is possible'!

Things have developed to this point, not only the box office battle of several films, but also the contradictions and struggles between several major film companies to seize the Hong Kong film market and companies.

The promotional techniques of each movie have also begun to expand everyone's thinking because of the bombardment of "The True Color of Heroes".

In many media reports, "A Chinese Ghost Story" really did not take any advantage.

Among them, the most popular is "Police Story" directed and acted by Jackie Chan. And this time, Golden Harvest has invested a lot in the early promotion of "Police Story".

You can see its posters on the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. And the following is dominated by the words 'Jackie Chan's most authentic performance, the most eye-stimulating performance', which makes many viewers faintly look forward to it.

The reason why this movie was born is because Jackie Chan was very dissatisfied with the previous filming of "Weilong Detective", so he planned to shoot this film.

During this period, Jackie Chan was very eager to enter Hollywood and break into the American market, so he made several English-language films, and the previously released "Dragon Detective" was one of them.

The plot of the whole film is not new, and the focus is still on the tense action scenes and Jackie Chan's stunt performances. It's a pity that director James Greggenhouse didn't grasp Jackie Chan's unique sense of joy and made the tone of the film too serious. Therefore, it has lost the usual intimacy of Jackie Chan's works. Jackie Chan was also dissatisfied with his performance in the film, so he started filming the Hong Kong-style "Police Story" on his own.

And it was precisely because of Jackie Chan's great determination and personally finding Golden Harvest bosses Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang to agree on the publicity method that it became a big sensation.

TVB, under the leadership of Fang Yihua, obviously supports Lu Yan and "A Chinese Ghost Story". Therefore, Golden Harvest engaged in the promotional video of "Police Story" and put it into ATV for advertising insertion.

As soon as the promotional video came out, Jackie Chan's momentum suddenly became unmatched in Hong Kong. The sensation it has created cannot be compared with even the wonderful trailer of "The True Color of Heroes".

Because the entire promotional video of "Police Story" is a thrilling and hard-working performance!

Jackie Chan lost his breath while completing a stunt of crashing over a balcony and breaking glass, and had to receive first aid treatment.

In order to create a realistic effect, the prop wine bottle used in the film is twice as thick as the normal prop wine bottle, so many stuntmen were injured as a result.

Jackie Chan insisted on electrocuting with his hands, so the lights on the Christmas tree were not powered by low-voltage car batteries, but plugged into a wall socket.

In the film, the bad guy smashed the glass window of the bus and fell to the ground, in fact, the bad guy who was originally on the second floor fell on the hood of the car, and the other fell to the roof of the car.

During filming, Jackie Chan was nearly paralyzed due to a spinal injury and pelvic dislocation.

Due to the large amount of glass used in the filming of the film, the crew gave the film the nickname "Glass Story".

and a series of amazing scenes, all of which were shown in the promotional video of "Police Story". Jackie Chan's desperate performance immediately won the support of the whole Hong Kong people.

The spirit of Hong Kong people is fully displayed at this time!

I have to say that the promotional video of "Police Story" immediately set off shocking waves. Many filmmakers and film critics have lamented that the second "True Colors of Heroes" has appeared. And the directors who have movies released during the Spring Festival are also on pins and needles. They don't want their movie to be obscured like a summer file.

Therefore, major companies have come up with their own strange tricks and changed the way of publicity.

What surprised everyone was that Lu Yan, the originator of the film's publicity before its release, has been doing the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with peace of mind. Although it also pounced on some publicity at the beginning, it was a small fight compared to the original "True Colors of Heroes"!

Does he think that with his current appeal, there is no need for big publicity?

Or, has he lost faith in "A Chinese Ghost Story"? So you just don't advertise it and give up on yourself?

All the doubts from the outside world can't shake Dongcheng Imaging's meticulous post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story". In Lu Yan's view, it is good to do big propaganda once, but if you come again and again, it will inevitably make people lose their freshness. What's more, now that all the promotion of movies is following suit, it is no longer as important as it was at the beginning.

is like films such as "Mr. Zombie", which obviously can't be promoted.

As long as your movie is well-made and works well after its release, then the box office will definitely not be bad!

Now Lu Yan has set his sights on "Mr. Zombie". Because of this movie, it is indeed the number one enemy!

If "A Chinese Ghost Story" created the trend of ghost movies in Hong Kong, then "Mr. Zombie" is the pinnacle of Hong Kong fantasy kung fu films!

In Hong Kong's commercial films, it is basically based on "entertainment orientation". And "Mr. Zombie" is undoubtedly one of the more successful commercial films. The film combines horror and comedy, using absurdity. It greatly stimulates the audience's sensory enjoyment, and the effects of horror and laughter are good.

The film is rigorously produced, cleverly conceived, and the director's handling techniques are compact and smooth, pushing the horror comedy movies since "Ghost Fighting" to a new **. The film did not star in the starring, but it had a very high box office rate, ranking first among the top ten grossing films in Taipei in 1985.

It is precisely because of such brilliant results that Lu Yan's competitiveness can be aroused. Movies with themes like "Police Story" are obviously not close to "A Chinese Ghost Story".

At this time, Sammo Hung actually came up with such a movie to fight against himself! In Lu Yan's opinion, the other party was obviously coming for him.

So, what about the facts?

The facts are obviously similar to what Lu Yan guessed, after the theme of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was officially determined to start filming, Sammo Hung had already moved his mind! He used the Baohe company under his name to start preparing this "Mr. Zombie". Although the stories are completely different, all of them have the existence of 'ghosts'.

According to Sammo Hung 's words, he just hopes to make a lot of money at the box office with the popularity of Lu Yan's "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

In fact, even now he didn't expect "Mr. Zombie" to be so successful, and even created Lin Zhengying, a 'zombie professional'!

"Yan Zai, don't you need a midnight test screening? This movie, after all, is not "The True Color of Heroes"? Liu Weiqiang was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't expect that this year's Spring Festival struggle would be so fierce!

"How's it going in post-production?"

"It's almost there, and my brother's song has been recorded. The dubbing of Uncle Zhan and Dai Lemin, the five-body throw that I admire! "For the soundtrack, there is Huang Zhan sitting in the formation, and everyone is not worried at all!

Lu Yan nodded, showed a triumphant smile and said, "OK!" Then get ready for the premiere! ”

Obviously, the midnight test screening? No need at all!!!
