Chapter 63: Worship God
"Taiwanese playing stunts? Who is it! Lu Yan asked curiously, he really couldn't remember who the stunt stand-in of "Best Partner" was.
"It's called Ke Shouliang!"
"What?" Lu Yan thought that he had misheard, and confirmed: "Ke Shouliang? That Ke Shouliang, nicknamed Little Black? ”
Lu Yan's sudden re-questioning made Liu Weiqiang startled and said, "That's right! Do you know? ”
"I don't know, I've heard of it!"
Ke Shouliang, how could he not know! The guy who played the pheasant's cousin in "Crazy Boy", but what he remembered more vividly was Ke Shouliang's car flying over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River to celebrate Hong Kong's handover. This is a fateful master, known as 'China's No. 1 Flyer'.
"This 'Ke Daring' is actually good, I have already negotiated with him." Liu Weiqiang is also a little lucky, at least the person he is looking for here is not worse than what Cheng Xiaodong is looking for.
Lu Yan felt more and more that the collaborators he was looking for were more right, at least in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Whether it is Liu Weiqiang or Cheng Xiaodong, the two assistant directors they are looking for are good talents. Cheng Xiaodong is looking for the old man of the Shaw Brothers - Dong Wei!
This person himself has some impressions, as if he cooperated with Tsui Hark more later. It can be regarded as a martial arts instructor, and he practices solid northern kung fu. Later, in the "Huang Feihong" series, there were some of his martial arts instructors in it.
"By the way, you said you found a good art designer, who?"
"Tim Yip!"
"I haven't heard of it."
Seeing Liu Weiqiang's confused look, Lu Yan smiled and said: "Actually, I am still a student, and I am still studying photography at the Institute of Technology!" ”
"What? You find someone who studies photography to be an art designer! ”
Liu Weiqiang felt more and more that Lu Yan was a little nonsense, if he had his own ideas in terms of actors. Then choosing a student as an art designer seems a bit messy. After all, it is a cost of 20 million to produce, and it stands to reason that we should try to pick some excellent behind-the-scenes design. But what Lu Yan is looking for is either a 'halfway monk' or a newcomer. This will even bring in students who work and study, can it not be considered a mess?
"Oops! You can rest assured that I am looking for someone! Lu Yan patted Liu Weiqiang on the shoulder and explained: "I read the newspaper that day, and he won the championship of a painting competition. So I contacted him and asked him to give it a try. After trying it, the effect is really good. The style he matched for Fa Tsai and Rong Shao is very much in line with the requirements of my heart! ”
"Alright! I can't help it. Liu Weiqiang was a little helpless, and now he can only choose to support.

Now that all the candidates in front of the stage and behind the scenes have been contacted, Lu Yan and the others immediately picked a zodiac auspicious to start worshipping God.
After all, this is the pioneering work of Dongcheng Image, so Lu Yan also intends to make the start-up worship ceremony particularly grand.
Since I have arrived in Hong Kong, of course, I have to follow the local customs. However, Lu Yan hopes to take this opportunity to facilitate reporters' interviews. When the new film was launched, it aroused everyone's discussion. In this regard, it is mainly a matter of propaganda techniques.
Dillon, Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and other leading actors all dressed up to the scene, in addition to Lu Yan also deliberately invited Sammo Hung and others to participate in the opening ceremony.
The invitation to Sammo Hung is mainly to take this opportunity to thank the other party for generously borrowing instruments and equipment. Jackie Chan and their arrival, Lu Yan's purpose is more to attract reporters.
In fact, when he sent invitations to most media and newspapers, everyone was happy.
That unscrupulous, rude and unreasonable guy would actually invite himself to the boot ceremony! But laughing aside, they really rushed over with cameras and cameras. Public figures and media reporters go hand in hand. If it doesn't hurt its vital interests, it won't become a relationship like 'killing his father and enemies'.
Even if it's like 'killing the father and the enemy', that dragon millet is still here.
Not for anything else, because it's work. He even wished that Lu Yan would scold him again this time, which not only increased the sales of the newspaper, but also increased his reputation in the industry.
"Look, isn't this Brother Sanmao! You're late, you must know that Jackie Chan and they are here early. ”
Regarding Sammo Hung being late, Lu Yan took the opportunity to ridicule.
"It's not that I want to come late, it's just that the new company can't get away." Sammo Hung said with a wry smile, but there was a bit of pride in that wry smile.
It turned out that some time before Lu Yan created Dongcheng Images, Sammo Hung and Shum Jianxun opened a film company.
"What company is it? Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future! ”
"Debao!"
"Isn't it?" When Lu Yan heard the word 'Debao', he was a little dumbfounded.
Lu Yanke knew that the Debao Film Company would be acquired by Pan Disheng soon, and then after taking over the theater chain of the Shaw Brothers Film Company, it grew rapidly. Immediately, it became one of the three major film companies in Hong Kong in the 1980s, along with Golden Harvest and New Arts City.
Seeing this, Sammo Hung was very puzzled: "What, is the name unlucky?" ”
"It's very auspicious! I'm just surprised that you didn't invite me to open a new company, it's not enough brother! Lu Yan immediately snorted and fooled over.
However, in his heart, he was thinking that when the time came, he would dig Michelle Yeoh into his company in advance. A large part of the success of Debao Film Company is the cultivation of a future international female star-Michelle Yeoh.
"Yan Zai, come on! It's almost time to worship God. ”
With Liu Weiqiang's shout, Lu Yan immediately said to Sammo Hung : Wait a minute, and ran over.
Of course, the members of the crew of "The True Color of Heroes" participated, while Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan came to watch the ceremony. At this time, reporters frantically captured the camera.
Finally, under the unanimous opinion of everyone, the roast pig was cut by Lu Yan and distributed to everyone. As long as everyone is here today, including reporters, they will have to eat offerings. This is something auspicious, and everyone eats it without saying a word.
"Hello Director Lu, may I ask what is the filming fund of "The True Color of Heroes", which is the pioneering work of Dongcheng Cinema?"
No one expected that the first to fire at Lu Yan was the dragon millet reported by Apple.
Even other peers looked at the two of them with an attitude of watching the play at this time. They both quickly adjusted their instruments to aim at the two of them, expecting another fierce 'spark' to collide.
And Long Xiaomi, on the other hand, is asking this question with a shameful smile. He obviously didn't know that there had already been a Taiwanese film company that had made a big investment in "The True Color of Heroes".
