Chapter 80: Midnight Preview Screening Cancelled
After the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" ended, Leslie Cheung naturally devoted himself to the production of the new album. And the ten songs in the album of "Love for You" have already been selected.
This will Leslie Cheung say that he wants to add another song to it, which makes his mentor Li Xiaotian a little curious: "Shizai, did you find another good song?" So so can't wait to add it? ”
At this time, most of the albums were ten songs.
"Look at it!" Leslie Cheung smiled slightly, and handed over "The Love of the Year" noncommittally.
"A classic! If it weren't for the title song "Love for You", I still hope you can change it to this one! After reading it, Li Xiaotian recognized it very much: "Is it the handiwork of the 'Huihuang' two saints again?" ”
Leslie Cheung's visit to Huang Zhan's residence, of course, Li Xiaotian is clear. Very few people can call Leslie Cheung out of the recording room, and Huang Zhan is one of the few.
"No, you can't guess this person." Leslie Cheung thought that this song would be written by Lu Yan, and it was still difficult to calm down in his heart.
"That's?" In Li Xiaotian's heart, there was really no candidate for him at once.
"My director, Yan Zai!"
"What?" Li Xiaotian was dumbfounded, such a song would actually come from a director who was younger than Leslie Cheung. He is really unbelievable, capable of making such a song, and can be a free musician.
Seeing Li Xiaotian's reaction, Leslie Cheung also smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Yan Zai still has talent in this area!" Well, I decided to add this song to the new album. ”
"No problem at all, if you have the chance, you can ask Yan Zai to think of a few songs for you!" Li Xiaotian was also immediately interested in Lu Yan. However, the current Hong Kong entertainment industry is indeed full of all-round talents. But to be able to compose lyrics and music, it requires the accumulation of talent and sophistication.
"If he had a good song, it would have been for me! He said that he likes to listen to my songs very much, and I also participated in the performance to know that Yan Zai is actually my fan, haha! ”
Thinking of Lu Yan's appearance at that time, Leslie Cheung felt funny. The two are now very good friends. And his songs can be appreciated by friends, especially for insiders, Leslie Cheung is naturally happy.
"It's almost okay in that aspect of the movie, and it's good to go over and dub it when the time comes. Anyway, we're close to Dongcheng Images, so let's start working on the album right away! ”
Here, Leslie Cheung was busy with the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" and began to devote himself to the production of the new album. In terms of Dongcheng Imaging, Lu Yan also began to lead the post-production of the film.
I have to say that Hu Dawei's editing really made Lu Yan admire. At least the part that has been completed, it seems that the artistic conception and fluency are very satisfactory to him.
"Qiangzai, I've already arranged all the episodes. When the editing and dubbing work is complete, Uncle Zhan will come over to help. ”
Lu Yan in the office lit a cigarette and said calmly. Since the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" has become more and more busy, Lu Yan has slowly become addicted to smoking. Smoking, for him, is more of a pick-me-up. Slowly, it became a habit.
"You can actually talk about Uncle Yan, Yanzai, it seems that your connections are indeed wide enough. Truth be told, I think you're getting more and more mysterious now! Liu Weiqiang looked at Lu Yan seriously, from the time Lu Yan took out five million to invest in Dongcheng Image, he felt that Lu Yan's identity background must have an insider!
Hearing this, Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "What do you want!" The main reason is that Director Tsui Hark took me to visit Uncle Zhan, so I used that relationship to ask for someone's house. Fortunately, Uncle Zhan prefers to carry young people, so he is willing to reach out and pull a hand! ”
When these words came out, where would Liu Weiqiang believe it. Huang Zhan is eccentric, and there is no one in Hong Kong who does not know. Bringing young people? This kind of thing happens to Huang Zhan, but it is very rare. The old monster Huang likes to carry it, but most of them are wizards in the music industry. is like Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung and others at the beginning......
"The editing is almost complete, and the dubbing will be easy! Let's discuss which movie theater to put "True Colors of Heroes" for midnight test screening! I'm really nervous, and I hope that the reputation will be good by then. Liu Weiqiang: As the release time of "The True Color of Heroes" is getting closer and closer, his mood is also beginning to get nervous.
As he spoke, he took out a schematic diagram of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and said, "I discussed with Cheng Xiaodong that it is best to put it in this cinema in Kowloon......
For the midnight test screening, Cheng Xiaodong of course took it to heart. So when Lu Yan was busy, they were not idle. Even took into account some of the things that would happen during the midnight test screening.
"No, I'm not going to let "True Colors of Heroes" have a midnight test screening!" With a wave of his hand, Lu Yan rejected the opinions of several people.
"What?"
"No midnight test screening?"
Several people were dumbfounded, this midnight test screening is a tradition in the Hong Kong film industry. Directors and filmmakers alike can use midnight test screenings to find out what is missing in their films. As well as the audience's word-of-mouth, make a little modification!
They couldn't figure out that Lu Yan was not going to conduct a midnight test screening of "The True Color of Heroes"!
"You don't have to be so frightened, do you?" Lu Yan replied with a smile on his face, and then said eloquently: "I don't plan to let "The True Color of Heroes" be tested, I have my own considerations. The reason why I asked Hu Dawei to cut out a wonderful film and make a promotional video is because of this idea. When the time comes, it will be advertised directly on several TVB TV stations to arouse the curiosity of the audience. When the time comes, it will be released directly! ”
"That's not good, is it?"
"Yes! It's a bit risky. Cheng Xiaodong took Du Kefeng's words, thought for a while, and said: "Although it has a bit of a mysterious effect at the beginning, if there is any omission, it will ruin the whole film." ”
"Don't worry, as long as we're in good post-production! will not be afraid of losing the audience's reputation and the box office. Lu Yan's move is undoubtedly to break the conventions of the Hong Kong film industry. As for what kind of consequences you get, you can only look at the box office.
"Now that the editing is almost complete, you can contact the actors for the voiceover. For some roles, just leave it to the voice artist. ”
Lu Yan is now waiting to come up with a promotional video and go directly to TVB to negotiate with those high-level executives. If you want to come to TVB, you are also happy to have such a cooperation model.
And Lu Yan is not just thinking about TV stations. He has even considered a few radio stations, and when the time comes, he will have them comment and report on the radio after the talks.
When it comes to the promotion of movies, he is indeed more than many filmmakers today!
