Chapter 193: Strong Encounter
"Stephen Chow?" Andy Lau: When they heard this name, they were all curious. 【Full Text Reading】(Hand-typed Novel)
TVB has indeed seen a lot of talents in each training class. Chow Yun-fat: Needless to say, Andy Lau himself was born in the Tvb training class. Soon, under the vigorous cultivation of TVB, he became one of the 'Five Tiger Generals'. If Lu Yan asked 'Tony Leung' them, Andy Lau might still know.
But Stephen Chow? Then I haven't heard of it.
And as Chow Yun-fat, who was a few years earlier, he didn't know it even more. He sat in his seat and thought about it, after all, he couldn't remember if he had heard of a person named Stephen Chow?
"By the way, I know that he is in the same class as Tony Leung?" Lu Yan suddenly remembered that Stephen Chow took Tony Leung to apply for TVB's training class.
Unexpectedly, Andy Lau heard this, but shook his head and said: "Although I am one term earlier than Tony Leung, there must be no one named Stephen Chow in his session."
Just when Lu Yan was a little disappointed and was about to call someone to Tvb to look for it in person when the time came. Wu Mengda, who had been thinking about it, was stunned and said: "I know Stephen Chow, but he later entered Boss Lu, a night training class for TVB, do you want to contact him?" ”
"No wonder I don't know." Andy Lau muttered, the artists in the night department must not have too much communication
", know him?" Lu Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, but he was a little curious. The current Wu Mengda has not yet cooperated with Stephen Chow to become a golden partner
Wu Mengda nodded, shook his head and said: "When filming "Condor Heroes Wearing", he played tricks in it. But he's a very
is a young boy with ideas, so he is often told by the producer because of some things...... He should be in "430 Shuttle" now
Host, Boss Lu, you should be the one you are asking. ”
Stephen Chow's stubborn character, abundant performance**, and the spirit of not giving up until the goal is achieved, have been embodied in this young man one by one since then. After several twists and turns, he finally squeezed into the night department of the artist training class and embarked on the road of acting that he longed for, but his screen career was far from ideal.
When Tony Leung has already started to play supporting roles with names and surnames, he can only appear in the same series for a few scenes; When Tony Leung was already packaged as the "Five Tiger Generals", he was still a multi-hated trick in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", dutifully suggesting to the director "I'll stretch out my palm to block it and then die", and was also reprimanded: "Hurry up and film, don't talk so much"......
When Tony Leung was transferred out of the children's program "430 Shuttle" because of his skyrocketing value, Stephen Chow finally got an opportunity that I don't know if it could be counted as an opportunity to replace Tony Leung as the host of "430 Shuttle".
"That's right, it's him" Lu Yan nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: "Brother Da, let's get in touch."
"Okay, I'll bring him to the company to find you when the time comes."
Everyone is really starting to see through Lu Yan, this director who is now in full swing would actually pay attention to a small actor in a TVB night training class?
However, everyone knows that Director Lu naturally likes to cultivate newcomers, and this Stephen Chow is blessed
And Lu Yan obviously decided to be Stephen Chow's lucky star in advance. Later, Stephen Chow spent time in the dance hall and met Li Xiuxian, the big boss of Universal Film Company. After a brief conversation with him, the famous filmmaker gave him a precious turning point in his acting career: he was invited to play a prodigal little brother in his new film "Thunderbolt".
But this time, Lu Yan obviously wants to give Stephen Chow a thorough shape
At the finale party of "God of Gamblers", everyone drank a little high. And the happiest is undoubtedly Lu Yan. Now Dongcheng Imaging has finally completed the shooting of another movie, and he is about to have the golden partner of Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda. It is absolutely very important for the company's development prospects.
In fact, Lu Yan wants to dig out the actors most Zhou Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung. It's a pity that the film contracts of the two were actually signed under the name of Xinyicheng, so he really couldn't help it for a while. For now, we have to wait. Leslie Cheung's film contract is not long, so it must be no problem.
And Chow Yun-fat, it is estimated that it will be soon. Lu Yan hopes to make Dongcheng Imaging a paradise for movie stars, so that every work produced by the company can become a classic and cause a sensation.
In this way, it is undoubtedly stimulating the second reform of Hong Kong films. After all, Dongcheng Imaging has killed all sides, and if other film companies don't make changes and innovations, they will only have the fate of being squeezed to death
"Xiaoxian, what do you think will happen to the box office of "God of Gamblers"?" Lu Yan was a little drunk, but he was not drunk.
"It's going to be so high, I think" Wang Zuxian's eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, and he smiled very sweetly: "Because the producer of this movie is our director Lu Da, hehe"
"Haha, how tall is it, let's wait and see" Lu Yan hugged Wang Zuxian, and suddenly said curiously: "By the way, when will "Thunderbolt Trumpet" be released?" ”
"Brother Sanmao said the day after tomorrow"
"The day after tomorrow, which movie will he have in the summer?" Lu Yan suddenly said curiously, although the time was very fast. But there is still some time before the summer file. I didn't expect "Thunderbolt Horn" to be released so soon. In this way, it can only mean that Golden Harvest has prepared several other movies to start focusing on summer files
During this time, Lu Yan was either busy filming "Rouge Buckle" or participating in the filming of "God of Gamblers". So for the films of other film companies in the outside world, there really hasn't been much attention.
The only thing I know is that Tsui Hark is filming "Sword and Horse". This is only known because Lin Qingxia refused the audition for "Rouge Buckle". Thinking about it now, Lu Yan couldn't cry or laugh a little.
"Sword and Horse" is undoubtedly a movie that is somewhat similar to "The True Color of Heroes", and the so-called similarity is the emotional processing. If "The True Color of Heroes" expounds purely male feelings, then "Sword and Horse" is like shooting female feelings in the ring. To a large extent, this movie is like a mutual attack with "Rouge Buckle".
It's just that "Rouge Buckle" will not be released in the summer, and the filming has not been completed yet. Therefore, "Dao Ma Dan" undoubtedly attracted the audience's attention in advance. There are three heroines starring Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and Ye Qianwen, just like Dillon, Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung......
"I heard that Brother Sanmao's other movie is called "Rich Train", and the cast is quite strong. should be one of the most powerful opponents of "God of Gamblers" Since being with Lu Yan, Wang Zuxian has had a deep influence. I began to like to pay attention to some movies of the same time period and analyze and compare.
Hearing this, Lu Yan touched Wang Zuxian's head with a smile and said, "Which is one of them, it's it."
"Rich Train", just by looking at the cast list, you can know the weight of this film, Oshima Yugali and Zhong Zhentao, Shen Dianxia, Zheng Wenya, Zeng Zhiwei, Taibao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, a group of comedy masters, seem to be able to add light.
In Lu Yan's impression, this movie was close to the box office No. 1 "The True Color of Heroes". If you want to come to the summer file, this movie can be a threat to "God of Gamblers". However, before the release, everyone was still in the fifth and fifth percentages who won and who lost. Until then, it is necessary to take the propaganda to the extreme.
"Rich Train", the actors alone are enough to attract the audience's attention. And "God of Gamblers", in addition to Chow Yun-fat's appeal. relies on Lu Yan and its strange propaganda methods.
So the two movies have long been in full swing. In terms of Golden Harvest, he began to study "God of Gamblers" early. There is no doubt that the other party's concern for Lu Yan is also very big.
What Lu Yan is still unclear about for the time being is that Xinyicheng is also about to launch the "Best Partner" series to join the offensive of the summer file. The box office competition for this year's summer file is indeed very unoptimistic
"Director, you've been on leave for too long"
"Rouge Buckle" started filming again, and Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui had been waiting for a long time. Although I have been figuring out the scenes, it is also a great headache for the actors to always drag on and not film.
It's Leslie Cheung, who is a little funny: "Our director Lu must have played too hilariously in Macau, so he went to the Lisboa Casino to shoot, and today the media broke all the news."
"What nonsense, I haven't even played at all," Lu Yan clapped his hands depressedly.
In fact, today's report Lu Yan also saw it. But it's too much of an exaggeration.
"Lu Yan led the crew of "God of Gamblers" to settle in the Lisboa Hotel, and the gambling king agreed to enter the gambling hall for filming"
"It is rumored that Lu Yan lost five million during filming in Macau"
"In order to play prestige in front of his girlfriend, he encountered the real God of Gamblers"
"All the crew members sleep in luxury suites, and even go to luxury gambling boats to get crystals"
Such a mess of smears and rumors is a joke in Lu Yan's opinion. It's just that people from the outside world don't know what the situation is, especially those who don't know Lu Yan, who really think that he lost five million at the Lisboa Casino.
Even several staff members of "Rouge Buckle" secretly asked: "Director, you won't really lose five million, right?" ”
In the end, he was kicked away by Lu Yan with a smile
"If I can lose 5 million, I still have to work so hard to make a movie" For such a question, Lu Yan replied casually with sneer.
But the more this is the case, the more people don't believe it. Your director Lu's family background has long been exposed, and making movies is obviously not all about money. Otherwise, the crew would not have stayed at the Lisboa Hotel, which is not something that directors who need to make films on a budget do
"Brother, it's not always been busy making new albums lately. Forgot about the filming of "Rouge Buckle", right? ”
"How can it be that even though I'm busy with the album, I review the script every night, rest assured, there will be no mistakes." When Leslie Cheung heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
However, he and Anita Mui's focus and career are all in the music scene, so it is very normal to be busy making new albums. Lu Yan didn't say anything, just ask everyone to play the role well during filming.
In fact, there are many celebrity supporting roles in "Rouge Buckle", but most of them are covered by the light of the hero and heroine, and they do not have outstanding performances. Only the appearance of the famous Cantonese opera singer Tan Qianhong, who plays the mother of the twelve, can be regarded as a glimpse
According to Tan Qianhong's own reason with Lu Yan, it was actually because her daughter was a fan of Leslie Cheung, and she took over this movie in order to help her daughter get closer to her idol. But in the few appearances in the film, she has masterfully interpreted the image of the wife of the head of a large family. Especially in the meeting with Ruhua, kind, kind, always with a humble smile, there is no sharp light in his eyes. But it is a sore spot everywhere, and the power cannot be said. Quietly controlling the scene completely, Ruhua didn't even have a chance to parry, and she was already defeated.
It is precisely because of this that Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui often consult this famous Cantonese opera singer. Even Lu Yan asks from time to time whether the feeling in a few shots is in place
"Rouge Buckle" is in full swing again, and "God of Gamblers" is also in intense post-production.
However, the thing that Lu Yan was looking forward to the most was that Wu Mengda finally brought Stephen Chow to the door. This future 'funny king', I don't know what kind of situation it is now?
But compared to Lu Yan's expectant mood, Stephen Chow was ecstatic when he heard Wu Mengda's words, who is it? That is the great director of Lu Yan's filming of "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", Stephen Chow has long been famous
Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew about himself, and asked Wu Mengda to contact him. Does this mean that you have come to work in time? Stephen Chow didn't know, but he knew that he had to seize this opportunity to engage in acting career, and he didn't want to just play tricks year after year
