Chapter 329: Hong Kong's Heroes

PS: The monthly pass is very fierce these days, thank you!

There is no accident, whether it is the fledgling Zhang Yusheng, or the slightly immature Lin Yilian, or even Zheng Xiuwen, who is as young as a small apple, the performance is much worse than Wang Jie. It has nothing to do with skills, no voice, no appearance, they are all in life.

Only experience can make a person better and more attractive.

Wang Jie won the annual championship of the first "The Voice of Chinese". At this moment, the vast attention has made him a star, a rising supernova in the Chinese music scene.

Wang Jie, Lin Yilian, Zhang Yusheng, Zheng Xiuwen, the four singers who were finalized for the finals, won a contract for "Red Star Records" together. Yang Lin personally "created" and wrote a song for each of them as the title song of the newly produced record.

Only Zheng Xiuwen, although he won the contract, did not make records according to the contract. Zheng Xiuwen is too young, the style is undecided, the voice is undecided, and the plasticity is too strong. Yang Lin didn't want to be the future "diva", so he fixed himself in a certain style early and restricted his future development. After communicating with Zheng Xiuwen's family and obtaining her own consent, Zheng Xiuwen became the "seed" of the "Red Star Record" focused on cultivating, and even had Gu Jiahui as the vocal director.

A sudden fire almost put ATV in crisis. Fortunately, I dealt with it properly and had good luck, and finally saved the day and survived it safely. Whether it was an accident or man-made, no one knows. Black and white launched a huge force and dug three feet into the ground. Didn't get any clues either.

The whole "ATV fire" incident is like a natural disaster.

At least it seems.

People have to look forward, and life has to go on. The filming of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". It's on the agenda right away.

Speaking of which, Yang Lin's version of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has changed a lot compared to the original version. The plot roughly continues the routine of the original work, but due to the background of the movie, it has changed from the United States to Hong Kong. There are a lot of changes that need to be made, and it's also very cumbersome.

But fortunately. Yang Lin may not have other abilities, but the kung fu of "the great shift of the universe" is still unique in the world. There are few rivals. Borrowed from east to west. Patchwork. The whole movie, except for the main line of the original story, has been changed beyond recognition. However, Yang Lin himself believes that as long as he can control the style of filming and the unique charm, then this "new version" of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" will at least be in terms of quality. It's the same as the original.

The only thing that worries him is this combination of East and West. Whether the style of taking China as the body and the West as the use can be accepted by European and American audiences.

However, looking for a bridge between Chinese and Western films is not exactly the path he is taking?

If it is said that it is exactly the same "copy" of the original, Yang Lin is confident that it can achieve more than 95% similarity. But if that's the case, what's the point of even if it's a global box office of 10 billion?

Plagiarism for the sake of plagiarism cannot be made. Even if you are a thief, you must be a principled thief, as the so-called "thief also has a way".

Well, whether it's right or not, Yang Lin comforted himself like this anyway.

Stanley, Hong Kong, Orphanage under the Social Welfare Department.

In the original movie, the orphanage in Chinatown has an extremely poor environment. Of course, that's not true, it's just an exaggeration to exaggerate the embarrassment of Chris Ganard and his son. However, in this way, the orphanage in Chinatown was once attacked by the whole society, and all kinds of accusations and suspicions were endless.

Rendering exaggeration is a kind of expression in the movie, which is normal. However, in Yang Lin's view, the positive energy of society cannot be tampered with by wanton smearing. Movies are a commodity, and that's true. But at the same time, the film is a kind of carrier, which can expand all the information and transmit it to the audience. At this time, the most film practitioners should carefully consider whether their "products" can promote the positive energy of society or have a negative impact.

Society is a whole, and care is in everyone's heart. You can't openly oppose everything for the sake of some exceptions, or for your own ends.

Love, everywhere. The love of father and son, the love of society, is everywhere. There are always adversities in life, if you don't give up, don't give up, go through the wind and rain, and eventually see the rainbow.

This is the positive energy that this movie wants to express.

One word, love.

The place of Stanley, within the scope of Hong Kong in this era, is actually a representative of dirty and messy. Although it was once a military stronghold of the British army and the administrative center of Hong Kong, with the flood of "smuggling tide" in the mainland a few years ago, a large number of refugees were resettled to this generation, and the public security economy was relatively backward.

The street in front of the Stanley Orphanage was full of people early in the morning. Although there are often movie crews who come here to film, people are still happy to do it, chirping and huddling together to watch the excitement.

The crew of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", all the staff are busy. Placing the equipment and adjusting the camera position, Liu Zhenwei carefully put a plate of film into the camera; Yang Lin and Pan Hengsheng sat together, discussing the shooting angle, and exchanged heads and ears from time to time, exchanging opinions.

Zhou Yanfa wore a dark suit and a coffee-colored tie, discussing the script with Leonardo. Leonardo's father, the handsome Golden Retriever Carter, was also beside him, not explaining something to Leonardo. Fortunately, Zhou Yanfa's English level will probably not be lower than level 6, and it is not a problem to take a "TOEFL" or something, and it is very convenient to communicate with these two foreigners.

The drama manager was holding black spray paint, spraying on the wall constantly, and a crooked "Happyness" and "Fuck" soon appeared.

Yang Lin just glanced over, frowned, and said loudly: "Get rid of this 'Fuck' and replace it with 'Damn', right away." ”

These words are just to show that the environment of the orphanage is not very good. However, "Fuck" is a swear word, and if you don't do it well, it will affect the rating of the movie. In case he changes from G-level to PG_13, Yang Lin has no place to cry.

“OK。 Man your posts! ”

Yang Lin, who was behind the camera, shouted.

Two pitch-black film cameras were prepared at the same time, one of which was shot at medium distance. The other is to take a close-up shot, and then make lens changes in post-editing. Liu Zhenwei in the near view and Pan Hengsheng in the long view raised their arms at the same time to signal that they were ready to complete.

The various sets were quickly put to the last check, and the extras were in place. Zhou Yanfa stood in front of the gate, and an old uncle took a broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves on the street in front of the door

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door." The first scene, the first set of shots, Aikesh! ”

Zhou Yanfa carried a brown cloth bag and carried one in his hand. A medical scanner on the market. Walked out of the orphanage. Seeing the old uncle sweeping the floor in front of the door, Zhou Yunfa said, "Please borrow a light." He took two steps forward and saw two English words on the graffiti wall.

Zhou Yanfa's face was a little worried, and he pointed his finger at the "Damn" on the wall, and said, "Uncle, when will you clean this up?" The old uncle who swept the floor glanced at him, indifferent and without a little expression, to Chow Yun-fat's words. Shut one's ears.

"Click!"

Yang Lin shouted to stop filming and touched his chin. The brilliance in his eyes sparkled, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Brother Fa, your feeling is a little wrong." It's not like that, it's not decadent, you know? It's helpless, it's introverted, but it's by no means decadent. Especially the voice, try to be as calm as possible, not depressed, OK? ”

No matter how the version is changed, no matter who the director is, the character of Chris Donald cannot be changed. It is this spirit of perseverance, never compromise, and never admitting defeat that is the theme of this movie. Zhou Yanfa's performance is a bit biased and a bit extreme.

Zhou Yunfa thought for a moment and made an "OK" gesture.

Yang Lin waved his hand to the field record: "Come again!" ”

"First shot, first shot, Ikesh!"

Several Hong Kong supporting actors present couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they watched this scene. Although it is said that the director is the biggest on the set, who is Zhou Yunfa? Hong Kong's most popular and biggest actor! In Hong Kong, there are countless directors and actors, but that director, who dares to point out directly in front of Zhou Yanfa, you don't act well! What's more, when Yang Lin was speaking, Zhou Yanfa was listening so seriously, thinking so attentively, and he was not the slightest bit unhappy!

Such a thing, maybe only Yang Lin has such confidence!

The best director of the Oscars, not to mention Chow Yun-fat, those big names in Hollywood, don't dare to blow up their wings, right?

"Click! It's over! ”

Yang Lin looked at Zhou Yanfa who came over with a smile and handed him a bottle of water: "How is it, do you feel it?" ”

Zhou Yanfa took it with a smile, sat next to Yang Lin, and squeezed Liu Zhenwei, who was adjusting the position, to the side, causing the latter to roll his eyes.

"Okay, the first scene, it's always the hardest. Just reading the script, I haven't fully integrated into the role. The further down it goes, the better it will be, don't worry. Who am I? Everyone calls me 'Fairy Hair'! Ha ha! ”

It seems that at any time, Zhou Yunfa is so optimistic and cheerful. The sentence "fairy hair" not only made Yang Lin laugh, but the entire crew laughed.

At this moment, a chubby little girl ran over. With a round face and a school uniform, he was probably a high school student. She trotted and ran out of breath, and the staff on the side were startled and hurried to stop her.

Every crew, when they go out on location, almost all encounter such a thing. Some star-chasing fans will chase after those big stars and ask for autographs. If you sign it, there will be more and more fans, delaying filming. If you don't sign it, fans will say that you are playing a big name, and the media will crusade against you. Therefore, usually at this time, the crew will have special personnel to stop those enthusiastic fans.

Yang Lin looked at this little girl, who was not far from himself and Zhou Runfa, so he waved his hand and signaled the staff to go away, don't stop him, and then looked at Zhou Yanfa with a smile, and even winked teasingly, which means to say: Hehe, this girl is good, her physique is very good!

Zhou Yunfa shook his head and smiled, pointed at Yang Lin with his finger, and then sat up straight, stretched out his hand, and wanted to take the notebook in the little girl's hand and sign it for her.

Who knows, this chubby little girl, holding the book in her arms, blinked a pair of big black eyes, looked at Zhou Yanfa, and suddenly handed the book to Yang Lin, her round face was slightly red: "Director Yang, I'm your fan, sign me a name!" ”

Uh-Yang Lin was stunned, look at Zhou Yanfa, is this looking for me to sign an autograph?

Even if Zhou Yanfa is accustomed to wind and rain, an old face is also tested for a long time, and it is extremely thick, and this thing is also turned red, which is extremely embarrassing.

Red. Naked to be ignored! Your name is Zhou Runfa, how can you be embarrassed?

Yang Lin smiled, and was very happy to finish the book, brushing and brushing, Long Feifeng danced and signed his name, while asking: "Little sister, Brother Fa is here, why are you looking for me to sign it?" He was very curious, generally speaking, no matter how famous a director is, there is no comparison with the popularity of those big-name actors.

The little girl was very happy, but she was also a little restrained, blushing, secretly looked at Zhou Yanfa, and whispered: "I already have Brother Fa's signature!" Besides, this is an autograph on behalf of our class! Director Yang, you are the idol of our class! ”

Hehe! Yang Lin smiled, a little surprised: "The idol of your class? Hehe, everyone is obsessed with big stars, big beauties, you worship a director, what's the matter? "This little girl is really out of the ordinary, and her hobbies are different.

"Because you're good enough!" The little girl was very excited, and that little restraint was gone. "You are the pride of our Hong Kong, and only if you are, can Hong Kong movies enter Hollywood! Now, you are the youngest best director at the Oscars, and in the future, you will set more records, you are Hong Kong, and you are the pride of the Chinese! Then, she turned slightly and pointed to a group of students standing not far away: "We are all here, we support you, no matter when, we support you, you are the best!" ”

"Yang Lin, we love you! You are the best! You are a hero! Heroes of Hong Kong! ”

A large group of students, raising their arms high, neatly and uniformly slogans.

The crowd of onlookers also joined in the fun.

"Yang Lin! Hero! Hong Kong Heroes! "Soon, the whole street was boiling.

Zhou Yanfa and the crew were dumbfounded. This moment brought him a deep shock. For a long time, he has been synonymous with celebrities, with countless fans, and wherever he goes, there are flowers and applause, which makes him full of confidence.

But now, he knows that there is a gap between stars and idols; There is still a gap between idols and heroes.

In the hearts of Hong Kong people, Yang Lin, who broke into Hollywood alone and swept the Oscars, is their representative.

He is a hero of Hong Kong.

Zhou Yunfa secretly clenched his palms, looked at Yang Lin with envy, and told himself in his heart: Only in this way can a person succeed! (To be continued......)
