After returning to Hong Kong, Lu Yan and others found out that "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" had actually been released. And the box office is extremely hot, catching up with the box office of the first two parts of "Best Partner".

"Director, they can't have failed to inform you, have they?" Lu Yan looked at Tsui Hark, whose face was calm, and his heart was incredulous. To know that the release of a new film, the first thing is to conduct a midnight test screening. And on the day of the premiere, the director must have attended the ceremony. And Tsui Hark happened to take everyone to shoot in Taiwan at that meeting.

Tsui Hark just smiled faintly and said, "There is a notice, but we are all in Taiwan." ”

That being said, this is not the case. To know such a grand event, even Tsui Hark, who is in Taiwan, will definitely book a ticket and fly back on the same day.

However, seeing that Xu Hark refused to say anything, Lu Yan naturally did not ask. He somewhat knows the inside story, after all, Tsui Hark suddenly left the set that day and flew to Taiwan with everyone the next day after rushing to Xinyi City. It can only be said that at that time, everyone discussed unsuccessfully, and Tsui Hark decided to go to Taiwan in advance to complete the filming of the exterior first.

Obviously, Tsui Hark doesn't seem to want to dwell too much on this issue. He motioned for the crew to get ready and ready to shoot.

If it seems to others, it seems that "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" has nothing to do with Tsui Hark at the moment. He may have made up his mind not to think about those things in Xinyicheng anymore. Now, he only hopes that the pioneering work of the film studio can become the perfection of perfection.

Hong Kong films have always had a tradition of "social reading mode", and many Hong Kong directors have also reflected in their films, but Tsui Hark's performance is relatively subtle.

Like his early works "Butterfly Change", "No Door to Hell" and "Danger of the First Type", it is naturally an expression of the tension between Hong Kong's economic boom and political contraction at the turn of the seventies and eighties. In the background of apocamoreism, it tells the sadness of the last days, not to mention the several Vietnamese refugee incidents in those years. probably also resonated with Tsui Hark, who was born and raised in Vietnam, and pushed the film to extreme hysteria. This is especially evident in Danger of the First Kind. (During this period, Ann Hui also directed "The Story of Hu Yue" and "Running to the Angry Sea", etc., which alluded to Hong Kong with Vietnam.) )

Although "Shanghai Night" is not a costume martial arts film, the film is obviously borrowed from the classics of early Shanghai films, "Angel on the Road" and "Cross Street". Set in the troubled times of Shanghai in the thirties and forties, it tells the story of the joys and sorrows of the little people, which is not a legendary story. In Lu Yan's eyes, this naturally corresponds to the background of the difficult negotiations between China and Britain on the future of Hong Kong.

The emotional follow-up of "Shanghai Night" is still in a comedy atmosphere. A heart-wrenching relationship in troubled times was completed with tears and laughter. This is what Tsui Hark needs, but even if Zhong Zhentao is full of energy, he still can't meet Tsui Hark's requirements.

"Run! Hurry up, hurry up and ......" Tsui Hark shouted at Zhong Zhentao, who was chasing the train, and this roar seemed to be a little vent in his heart.

"Qianwen, you have to be more anxious. And that Lizhen, it's okay if your emotions are deliberately displayed on your face......"

Today's shooting was at the train station, so the extras didn't have to worry at all.

Li Lizhen's appearance really made Lu Yan spurt blood. She wore pigtails, stammered, and looked stupid, but she did have the flavor of a little girl of that era. But now her acting skills are really immature.

"Cuong, push your camera closer. That's right, I want to catch Ah B's face to the effect. ”

At this time, although everyone's ears listened to Tsui Hark's instructions, they were all working hard to perform and shoot. If this scene is repeated, everyone will know that they are guilty. After all, if this scene is continuous, you have to run, fall, and cry repeatedly...... Photographers like Liu Weiqiang also have to suffer.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Aijia fully expressed her inner struggle and a little joy on her face.

Zhong Zhentao looked at her pantingly, and suddenly stepped forward to hug her!

“cut！”

With Tsui Hark's shouting, Lu Yan also understood that the filming of this film had completely ended. The filming of the latter part of the plot was completed long before the flight to Taiwan. The rest is post-production and dubbing.

"Ming Tsai, bring me your field notebook."

Zhong Zhentao was already very tired from running and emotionally invested for a long time, and he was sitting on the side with some difficulty at this time. And Ye Qianwen also wiped the tears on her face and showed a happy smile. For her, acting in movies is indeed much more difficult than singing.

Everyone is in a good mood, and the long-term shooting is finally completed. Not only the actors are tired, but the rest of the crew has also put a lot of effort into it.

When Tsui Hark finished reading the transcript, it was announced that "Shanghai Night" was officially completed. Everyone cheered and applauded.

Although Tsui Hark had an unusually hot temper during the shooting, now that the shooting is over, he smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you for your efforts during this time!" ”

Tsui Hark is not an unreasonable person, but his attitude towards work naturally transfers to others. He is passionate, so he always wants everyone to be fully engaged anytime, anywhere.

While Lu Yan was happy, he was also a little worried. You must know that if there is no theater support and the best release schedule is scheduled, it will be difficult for the best films to sell well.

Now that "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" has just been released, I think Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" will be launched soon. Not to mention the front and back of new films from other film production companies, so the box office of "Shanghai Night" is actually a little unoptimistic.

Lu Yan may not have discovered it himself, but he does have the consciousness of a director. He began to think forethought, thinking about issues beyond filming. Although he thinks about it now, Tsui Hark may have thought about this aspect long before the start of filming. As it turned out, he was moving forward step by step.

"Yan Zai, don't be busy with post-production these days. How about I take you to visit an old friend? ”

Tsui Hark's thoughts and actions sometimes are Lu Yan's confusion. This new film has just been completed, why are you taking me to visit an old friend again?

"Director, I don't want to be busy. You're afraid you can't wait to finish the film right away, right? Lu Yan couldn't help but joke about Tsui Hark, after all, he is engaged at work. Although Lu Yan thinks that he is okay, he does have some gaps compared to Tsui Hark.

Unexpectedly, Tsui Hark pretended to sigh regretfully, and smiled casually: "That's one of our 'four talents' in Hong Kong, do you like to go or not." ”

[Finally finished filming "Shanghai Night", and it should be the period when the protagonist overturns the river and the sea. I hope you can support a lot and smash the votes! 】
