Chapter 201: Who dares to fight

"I heard that you have now entered the mode of "A Chinese Ghost Story" again" Cheng Xiaodong suddenly remembered the words of a staff member that day, and suddenly smiled: "This time, brother, they changed their costumes, did they also shout to change 'pajamas'?" ”

"I didn't say it, but it's pretty much the same"

"Yan Zai, I listen to what you mean, it seems that "Rouge Buckle" is not far from the end?"

According to Lu Yan's own assumptions, this is really the case. So he nodded and said, "Almost, although it looks like there are still a lot of scenes left, but in fact, I have already done all the more difficult shots." So the later part of the scene should be filmed very quickly."

"Oh?" Hearing Lu Yan say this, everyone suddenly became interested and said, "I think what Yi Zai said just now is the opposite." You wish that "Sword and Horse" would be released later, so that they could fight each other and collect the box office, right? ”

"You wouldn't have been in touch with Tsui Hark a long time ago, would you? Do you want to do it like this? ”

"How can you gossip like this?" Lu Yan suddenly waved his hand with a smile and said: "Because of the movie "Rouge Buckle", many scenes have to be approved by Miss Li Bihua. Otherwise, if I shoot it, how can I shoot it if she refutes it in the end...... And a lot of the shots are shot, which feels more difficult to grasp. Although my brother and sister Mei have acting skills, they still need to be polished."

"That's right, Li Bihua has always been very demanding. If you really make a mess of "Rouge Buckle", I guess she will be the first to not let you go......"

"Don't worry, she approves of some of the scenes she has filmed recently." In fact, many times, Lu Yan will invite Li Bihua to the scene to express some opinions in person. Then he reconciled it and tried to shoot the best "Rouge Buckle".

Such an attitude naturally makes Li Bihua appreciate it very much, and Leslie Cheung's performance is becoming more and more exquisite. Until now, she is waiting for this movie with great expectations. After all, it was his own work that was remade, and Lu Yan's reputation is getting higher and higher. If it's really good, it's a very good thing for her.

"It seems that when "Rouge Buckle" is released, I will really buy a ticket to see it"

"Me too"

Hearing Cheng Xiaodong and Wang Jing's jokes, Lu Yan suddenly scolded with a smile: "You can save your worries, it's time to release it, I have prepared tickets for the premiere for you." ”

"Oh to be honest, I want to see what kind of sparks Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui can create in your hands. The few films they have collaborated on before are not very ideal."

"Although there is box office appeal, the main thing about making movies is to look at the acting skills, not to mention that yours is still a literary film...... I have watched my brother's acting skills improve day by day, and I don't know about Anita Mui."

"You just wait and see, although my brother's performance is very good, but Sister Mei is indeed a woman who does not let her eyebrows," Lu Yan laughed, and his mood was getting better and better.

Tsui Hark, could it be that your "Knife Horse" is really waiting for my "Rouge Buckle"?

It was also when Lu Yan and the others were paying attention to the trend of the box office of several summer films, as well as the planning for the future development of Dongcheng Image. The box office battle between the fourth part of "Nirvana Train" and "Best Partner" has finally begun. As "God of Gamblers", which quickly squeezed into the top spot at the box office, it was inevitable that it would be dragged into the war again.

"God of Gamblers", the most proof is Lu Yan's screenwriting talent? Recently, the official release of "God of Gamblers" produced by Lu Yan and directed by Wang Jing, and the box office is still the same as the production of the first two Dongcheng Images, so devastating and decaying in just a few days, the box office has exceeded the 7 million mark. It is not difficult to imagine that the box office of this movie must be one of the strong contenders for the summer box office championship. Maybe even the annual box office......

In an interview with the media, Lu Yan once said that the director of this film is Wang Jing's real dominance, and it is Wang Jing and the facts have proved that Lu Yan has been busy directing his new film "Rouge Buckle" in the early stage of "God of Gamblers". It is rumored that he starred in the role of Long Wuyi in the later period, and only occasionally picked up the guide tube with itchy hands.

But even so, this "God of Gamblers" is still an out-and-out production of the Lu family. From the finalization of the main actors, to the writing of the script...... All of this, the final behind-the-scenes leader is this ghost director, Lu Yan

It seems that many writers, screenwriters or directors have a hobby of sitting in open-air cafes, watching people go by and imagining their stories.

I always wonder: why don't they go to the casino?

Of course, in any city, there are always many more open-air cafes than casinos; However, when it comes to the concentration and density of life, how can sidewalks be compared to casinos?

The temple must have been wonderful, but it was noticeably dirtier, and onlookers were never welcome; The court is also good, but it is very serious, and the "opening of cards" is very slow; There are also a lot of dramas in the funeral home, but they are unlucky, and most of the participants pretend to be powerful...... As for the hall of the securities business office, it is quite similar to the casino, and there is no admission fee, but it is a pity that the green, fat, red and thin, and the expressions are mostly the same, just like a puppet full of strings and smirking together, and it is by no means like a casino with thousands of postures, ups and downs anytime and anywhere.

In Macau's Lisboa Casino, I once went in with friends. As the saying goes, a small bet is pleasant, but after learning some knowledge of probability, I felt that even a few dollars of change were not necessary to give to the casino owner, and I would rather put it in the saxophone hat on the corner. At this time, the mentality is really good: let you turn the clouds and rain, Lao Tzu just doesn't share a drop of hormones. In casinos, pure spectators are blessed.

Nights on a cruise are perfect for a stay at the casino. The show ended before ten o'clock, and the casino was buzzing with people.

As for the spectators, in addition to the changes on the faces of the participants, the dealers are actually quite impressive. Most of them are young and have bright eyes. Skillful skills are the most basic requirements, and they also need to be exquisite, pampered and not shocked, push the boat along the river, and have no wind and waves...... Whenever a customer takes out a few chips as a tip, the charm on the faces of those female dealers must be sincere, and the ringing bell is also very crisp. There are also some quiet male dealers, not as many as one. Yu's expression, there must be a female guest among the surrounding guests.

However, Lu Yan once again showed his ghost side. The reason why this young director is called a genius director is largely because of his varied style. Whether it is a brotherly story like "The True Color of Heroes" or a tactful and lingering love adaptation like "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lu Yan's thinking seems to be very jumpy.

This time, "God of Gamblers" undoubtedly once again proved that he lived up to his reputation as a ghost

The filming in it is specially filmed from the Lisboa Casino in Macau, as well as the shooting on the luxury gambling boat, I think it must have feasted the eyes of many audiences, and few directors will shoot specifically with gambling, and Lu Yankang, the director of Lu, seems to be very willing to take risks and innovate trendy movies.

After starting the hero film from "The True Color of Heroes" and driving a large number of followers. Some time ago, there seemed to be a lot of costume ghost movies released. But in the end, no matter how wonderful it is, it is difficult to surpass the original leader. And now this "God of Gamblers", can it drive the trend of gambling films?

The answer is uncertain, but yes. Exactly how, let's wait and see

And many media newspapers and periodicals also use huge bold headlines to attract the audience's attention.

Who can stop Lu Yan? 》

"Why is it that as soon as Lu's movie comes out, it is difficult for the film industry to compete? 》

There have been many media outlets who have put on high hats for Lu Yan. Even some newspaper headlines simply described Lu Yan as a genius director rarely seen in the film industry in a century

It's no wonder that since Lu Yan officially debuted as a director. A "True Colors of Heroes" completely gave him a firm foothold in Hong Kong films. And the box office immediately set a new box office record in Hong Kong, and no film is expected to break it so far. Although the following "A Chinese Ghost Story" was slightly lacking at the box office, it is undeniable that it was a blockbuster

Now that this "God of Gamblers" came out, it suddenly made these media people in Hong Kong feel that Lu Yan was born to do this business. And, an absolute genius

Why did Lu Yan become a box office guarantee director? 》

In the movie "God of Gamblers", the actors have natural acting skills and are never pretentious. It seems that everyone is not making a movie, but to play, and the general plot is not muddy and smooth. There are no too many shots to deliberately express the director's hidden meaning, and it is very pleasant to watch in one go.

Let's take a look at the blockbuster highlights of the film: the Lisboa Casino, the luxury gambling boat filming, to satisfy the audience's curiosity. Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Wang Zuxian and others superb performances, and another important factor is Lu Yan

As the leading actor, Gao Jin played by Chow Yun-fat once again proved his acting skills

Although the God of Gamblers is indeed personable under normal circumstances, his personable and compelling momentum is not as charming as the innocent and straightforward after amnesia. What is the value of human beings? Is it about what you can do or whether you can pose? It is true that he is the god of gambling, a top man in a certain field, and an outstanding person (if gambling is indeed a skill), and he cannot put on a pose in the eyes of mortals. And we can see that his pose is so stylish, which is inseparable from his experience of growing up as an adult with status. But the reason why his photo was offered by the knife is not because his pose is good-looking, but because he is very good at gambling. I admire the silly-looking but still wise and foolish (if gambling is really a skill) and emotional, compared to the gambling god Gao Jin, who walks with his hair combed and shiny in a black trench coat and pretends to be a big brother in front of a knife, he is pure, kind, and defacy.

As for one of the other important factors why this movie is so popular, Lu Yan

This miracle has long let us see his miracle. Even without his appearance, this movie would still be a great hit. Not because of anything else, just because this movie belongs to Lu's production. Now Lu Yan gives us the impression that his movies are bound to be exciting, and this time he will appear, so the audience will look forward to it even more understandably.

So, why is Lu Yan so attractive to us?

If he is simply making a movie in the "True Colors of Heroes" mode, then he is destined to be a genius director. But it is absolutely impossible to reach the height it is now, because the subject matter determines the audience group, and you will be tired if you watch too much "The True Color of Heroes", but Lu Yan is a phenomenal 'ghost director'.

It is precisely because of his varied style in the selection of materials and bold breakthroughs and innovations that we look forward to each of his films. And the young director knows how to work with the media, "At least his exposure and interviews are better than many popular movie stars."

In fact, after watching "God of Gamblers", my first reaction was that the king of the box office is here again, yes, each of his movies can bring box office shocks. The winner of the best film at the last Academy Awards, the youngest best director at the Golden Horse Awards, has always kept us fresh

It's not hard to imagine that although "Rouge Buckle" was filmed so slowly. But we're pretty sure it's going to be another great movie. There should be many audiences like me, looking forward to this literary film directed by Lu Yan

is still receiving rave reviews, and the box office is still spreading like a fire. But this time, it is destined not to be the solo of "God of Gamblers". Because the fourth premiere of "Nirvana Train" and "Best Partner", which were released immediately after, exploded at the box office

Suddenly, the box office form of the summer file suddenly turned sharp and blurred. It's really hard to say who will win and who will lose. But there is one thing that Lu Yan is completely proud of, that is, an independent production company actually started a box office war with the two major Hong Kong film giants, and this is not the first time.
