Chapter 274: Title - "Rock and Roll Youth"
Chapter 274 Title - "Rock and Roll Youth"
"Mong Kok Carmen" was completed, but it did not attract much attention from the outside media. After all, the director of this movie is just a newcomer - Wong Kar-wai. In terms of actors, the only one who really took the shot was Wang Zuxian. Andy Lau has long been reduced to an ordinary artist because of the ban.
Although he starred in "God of Gamblers" a while ago, he really has no bright spots under the light of Chow Yun-fat. Even Wang Zuxian is more of a vase in "God of Gamblers". If it weren't for the foundation of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zuxian might not have such a momentum.
Although Jacky Cheung's last album was a big hit, he is still controlled by Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam in the music world. In addition, he has no achievements in the film industry.
Therefore, this "Mong Kok Carmen", which should have a strong lineup in later generations, could not attract more interest from media reporters during this period.
Everyone pays more attention to the new film that Lu Yan is about to direct.
What's more, how "Mong Kok Carmen" was filmed, the outside world is not clear. Although it has been completed, after all, there is still a long time to go through post-production. So even if you want to pay attention, you should wait until the official release of this movie. Curiosity in everyone's hearts is inevitable. After all, he can be favored by Lu Yan and serve as the main movie of this year's Spring Festival. Wong Kar-wai, how much talent does he have?
The completion does not mean that the post-production is complete, and it is normal for reporters not to care too much. During this period in Hong Kong, movies were completed one after another. Compared with the cast, the movies of New Arts City and Golden Harvest are much stronger than those of Dongcheng Images.
"The Saint of Gambling", known as the sister chapter of "God of Gamblers", still hasn't received much attention. Liu Zhenwei, who is it? Stephen Chow, who is it?
The cast made the outside media laugh and cry. Obviously the two main works of Dongcheng Imaging this year's Spring Festival, Lu Yan doesn't seem to care much at all. New directors and new actors were arranged...... Among them, there are very few actors in the town who can take the shot.
is really a strong lineup combination, which is Wang Jing's "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". But this movie, even if it is filmed, it can't catch up with the first wave of Spring Festival schedules. So for Lu Yan's arrangement, everyone was a little speechless
Is it because Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company merged and are in the integration stage? So Lu Yan strategically chose to give up for this year's Spring Festival stalls?
It's just not necessary
Then think about Lu Yan's style, it is not difficult for everyone to understand. This talented director obviously has great confidence in the two new directors and their works. Otherwise, he would probably have jumped out to continue the filming of the new film. The battle between several film companies is no longer a matter of one or two days
However, Lu Yan was so relieved to put the burden on the shoulders of Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei, which can not be said to be unfavorable
Even within the company of Dongcheng Imaging, there are many staff members who often discuss this issue. After all, their backbone is Lu Yan. Even if it is not directed by Director Lu Da, at least Wang Jing should be directed by them, and they should take the lead in filming and grabbing the golden period of the Spring Festival
But Lu Yan is so stubborn, not to mention that Wang Jing's movie was originally a transformation work. From the formation of the script to the invitation of Ni Kuang to revise it, it was too late in time.
Therefore, the task of the Spring Festival file has naturally been pressed on Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei.

"President Wong, this filming will definitely not affect the credibility of HKU, and I also know that HKU has cultivated a lot of talents for our entertainment industry. For example, Xu Guanjie and Lin Xi ...... Cheng Xiaodong faced Huang Lisong, the president of the University of Hong Kong, and said very sincerely: "And this movie is directed by Yan Zai, I believe that President Huang should believe in the quality of his film, and the reason why this movie chose to be filmed at HKU is also what he meant." This new film is a youth inspirational film, telling young people to pursue their dreams, persevere, and work hard to achieve success, and the background is to put it in college, and we all agree that HKU is the most suitable for such characteristics."
Huang Lisong looked at Cheng Xiaodong and smiled, and said very casually: "I won't be stubborn, I believe that the students in the school will also be very supportive when I come to HKU for filming." You called earlier, and I already had that discussion with the board. But how long is the approximate framing and shooting, after all, we can't affect the normal class of the students."
"This Principal Huang, don't worry, there won't be many scenes in the classroom. It's just a few clips, and we try to shoot them in two days. As for the filming of the campus, we will definitely not affect the normal classes of the students," said Cheng Xiaodong, and quickly followed: "On the day we come to HKU for filming, we will hold an interaction in the school. The time is chosen on the weekend, so that it will not affect the normal classes of students and the school system. When the time comes, I hope that Principal Huang can help. At that time, there should be a lot of media friends coming to ......"
Huang Li nodded relievedly, Lu Yan will definitely have a lot of reporters to interview if he wants to shoot at HKU. At that time, it will definitely be a lot of publicity for the University of Hong Kong
It is precisely because of various considerations that the Board of Trustees of the University of Hong Kong finally approved the filming request. And Lu Yan's movie, I think it should not affect the reputation of the University of Hong Kong. For this, they themselves have great confidence in Lu Yan.
Cheng Xiaodong saw that Huang Lisong agreed, so he quickly got up and shook hands with the other party and thanked him: "Principal Huang, thank you so much for your help to our crew this time." In the past two days, a press conference will be held for the filming of our company's new film, so the official start time is not far away. When the time comes, I think Yan Tsai may come to the scene of HKU to finish filming first......"
"You're welcome, we also hope that Director Lui's new film can show the style of HKU very well."

When Cheng Xiaodong came out of the University of Hong Kong, he didn't notice that he was being followed by these ubiquitous paparazzi in Hong Kong. In fact, these paparazzi do have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they also put a lot of effort into choosing the people to follow.
Now that "Mong Kok Carmen" has been completed, "The Saint of Gambling" has several martial arts instructors brought by Cheng Xiaodong to help. And Wang Jing's "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley" is now filming a literary drama for the time being, so the first thing everyone thinks of is to follow Cheng Xiaodong.
Compared with Lu Yan's elusive characteristics that can't be followed, everyone's eyes will naturally be on Cheng Xiaodong.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and this time Cheng Xiaodong actually came to the University of Hong Kong. And they entered the principal's office, so some of the speculations they could easily relate. It's definitely not Cheng Xiaodong himself who wants to go to school, and it won't be a child. At such a time, when I go to the president's office before the school, the only answer is that Lu Yan's new film may be filmed at the University of Hong Kong
After leaving the University of Hong Kong, Cheng Xiaodong rushed back to Dongcheng Film Company as soon as possible to explain the matter to Lu Yan.
In fact, let Cheng Xiaodong start to arrange things in this regard, Lu Yan did not have the slightest worry. So when Cheng Xiaodong came back and told Lu Yan that the University of Hong Kong had promised to come down, he didn't show how excited he was. You must know that the filming of the entire crew at the University of Hong Kong will not be delayed for too long, and the University of Hong Kong will actually benefit the most.
Otherwise, if you don't agree with the University of Hong Kong, we can talk to other universities. After all, there are so many universities in Hong Kong, and it is not without a good environment. It's just that the University of Hong Kong is more attractive to young people.
"How's the staff's preparations?" Lu Yan turned around and asked Yi Shouyi who was on the side.
"It's all done."
"That's good." Lu Yan nodded, picked up two scripts from the table, handed them to Cheng Xiaodong and Yi Shouyi, and said, "You all take it back and take a look, hehe, in fact, this script has nothing to do with you, Brother Xiaodong." After all, youth inspirational films, but there are no action scenes. ”
"Can't I take a look" Cheng Xiaodong took the script and scolded with a smile.
"Rock 'n' Roll Youth?"
"What, isn't that a good name?" Lu Yan asked with a smile.
"It's not that it can't be, but I think the name is very ordinary," Cheng Xiaodong replied naturally.
In fact, I don't blame Cheng Xiaodong, in the current Hong Kong film market, how can there be any youth inspirational films. There are a lot of youth films, but more of them are in the relationship between men and women. And such movies basically don't sell well. Not to mention, Lu Yan's so-called youth inspirational film.
And in Hong Kong's music market now, rock music has never been welcomed. Teenagers who play this kind of music are labeled as unruly and rebellious......
If it weren't for Lu Yan, it is estimated that no one would support the filming of this type of movie.
But that is, Lu Yan always likes to try different styles of movies. It is precisely because he tries new styles of film every time and achieves great success that he has become a well-deserved genius director. His genius is not limited to the difference in style. There is also the fact that he can make a special feeling for every type of movie.
It is this unique feeling that forms a very strong Lui-style film
A director can have his own film style and be widely liked by the public. This is not something that ordinary directors can do casually, at least not yet, no director has been able to form such a strong variety of completely different film styles.
But Lu Yan has become a complex
