Spring in Hong Kong always comes quietly early. It's not as fresh or colorful, but it's also understated. is like a woman without makeup, with a few simple strokes of light makeup, erasing the sluggishness accumulated in winter, her eyebrows are stretched, and her complexion is naturally fresh.

Li Yihua looked at the bustle outside, and had been planning his future in his heart, so in order to make films without interference, Li Yihua decided to open his own company. Li Yihua didn't think about joining a company as a director, but at this time, even future directors in Hong Kong had no autonomy.

For example, Xinyicheng, even if he becomes a director, he does not have any freedom, and then Xinyicheng will become a paradise for comedies, and other types of films have no soil for survival, but Li Yihua does not like to be suppressed, so he can't avoid choosing to leave.

Li Yihua is now just a "little lotus" in the cultural circle, and he does not have a deep influence, so if the box office blockbuster movies in later generations are big productions, they should be excluded first. One is that there is no money for filming; Second, the company's talents are relatively scarce, and there are no conditions for large-scale production.

Li Yihua clenched his fists, since no one gave him a chance, then he gave himself a chance, set up his own company, and funded the filming of his own money. Li Yihua has several low-budget films in mind, which must not only conform to the environment of this era, but not be too shocking, and have a small cost; also has to consider the tastes of the Hong Kong people, and finally Li Yihua fixed the film on the small-budget film "Nightclub".

The film Nightclub is a typical low-cost comedy, which is very in line with Li Yihua's current reality, that is, it meets the shooting requirements and does not occupy a lot of money. This film is very suitable for Hong Kong now, it will not make people feel ignorant, and Li Yihua is also very confident in the box office of this film.

In fact, there are many places where "Nightclub" was filmed in later generations that are very similar to Hong Kong films, as long as it can make the audience laugh, the box office will not be bad, and more importantly, this film is like this for Li Yihua; A rookie is perfect for getting started.

The storyline of "Nightclub" is very simple, the story takes place on one night, a small 24-hour supermarket. Li Junwei is a night shift salesman in a supermarket, and he secretly likes his colleague Tang Xiaolian because of his taciturn appearance, and the two are on the night shift together today. Two months ago, unemployed lottery player He Sanshui bought a lottery ticket in the supermarket and won a prize of 9,500 yuan, but the prize was lost because the supermarket proprietress typed a wrong number. So he went back to the supermarket tonight with his stupid cousin tires, and he must get his prize money back. Li Junwei and Tang Xiaolian couldn't solve the matter, and He Sanshui, who was helpless, made a strange decision - he wanted to stay in the supermarket openly and sell the goods to make enough money for himself. Xiaolian and Junwei's friend Zhu Liao were both locked up in the office. Some customers with different surnames came into the supermarket one after another, and due to He Sanshui's stubborn temper and unfamiliarity with the supermarket business, there were many interesting episodes in the shopping process. And Zhu Liao and Xiaolian, who were locked up in the office, tried their best to escape.

A friend who came to the supermarket to practice robbery for filming, a lottery fan named debt collection that looks like a robbery, plus a real robber, three groups of fake and real "robbers" staged a ridiculous and funny scene, during which endless accidents and surprises made the whole process full of variables and jokes, which made people laugh more than once.

"Nightclub" was filmed in 2009, there is a difference of nearly 30 years, and there are a lot of plots that need to be changed, which are more in line with the current Hong Kong, and the high-tech that should not appear must be avoided, otherwise it will definitely be complained about.

For example, Zhu Liao's appearance, that DV must be changed, the design of the DV was after 2000, and now it will appear, I don't know how to explain it. Li Yihua changed Zhu Liao's appearance to Zhu Liao, in order to get into the wireless training class, in order to hone his acting skills and observation, he pretended to be a robber and came to the "Want Want Supermarket" to observe the demeanor and expression of his good friend when he encountered the robber!

The movie "Night Club" is also worthy of recognition from another aspect, that is, it tells the story of little people, and there is even a trace of sourness hidden behind the laughter: He Sanshui and tires were cheated out of all their savings before they decided to take a risk, Xiao Gangya couldn't speak in the face of his sweetheart, Zhu Liao has starred in dozens of film and television dramas but has never shown his face...... The poignant background of these little people has become the driving force for the development of the story, but the choreographer does not reveal condescending compassion, but examines these people with a flat eye and laughs at themselves with their bitterness. There is a hint of satirical reality in the movie, but it does not dare to expand, and there may be other reasons besides the setting of the story itself. At the end, Li Yihua has a Hollywood-style unusually happy ending, which is a happy ending in the movie, and if it is reflected in reality, it will inevitably feel like a world away.

Li Yihua believes that the success of a comedy movie is not only the script, but also the choice of actors. The success of "Nightclub" in the previous life, in addition to the director's skills, is more important than the realistic performances of several actors. Now, of course, you can't look for the original actors, you can only choose from the existing actors.

Among them, the most important thing is to find the actor of Brother Shui, as well as the actor of Zhao Yingjun, followed by the two salesmen and tires and robbers, and these actors are undoubtedly the key to the success of the film. Their performances can be said to drive the course of the whole movie, making it more full.

The film also uses a new shooting, flashback, fast forward, etc., although it is a normal shooting, plus jitter and old, the saturation and contrast are also heavier than the normal plot picture, and the background of the characters is simple and clear. But several shoots were carried out together to complete a wonderful filming process. This kind of shooting is definitely a first in film, and it changes the convention of shooting.

While recalling the script, Li Yihua picked up a pen and quickly wrote the script of "Nightclub" on the manuscript, thinking of the unreasonable, frowning and not knowing what to think. Li Yihua picked up the teacup on the table, walked to the window, looked at the outside world, and couldn't help but feel good.

Li Yihua thought that "Nightclub", as his company's first film, must be filmed well and make the company famous, so that he can stand in the cruel entertainment industry, prevent the newly opened company from losing in the competition, and strive to make it shine!
