Chapter 10 Plagiarism of the Classics

Li Yihua's advantages are unparalleled, and he knows this very well, and what Li Yihua is thinking about now is how to turn all these advantages into success. For an unknown young man like himself, only by showing his true skills can he convince others.

In 1983, the golden age of Hong Kong films had not yet come, films of various themes had not yet been discovered, and the Hong Kong film classification system had not yet been equipped; The New Art City, which has influenced an entire era, has been established; Tsui Hark's "film studio" will only open next year.

At this time, it can be regarded as the golden age of Hong Kong, whether it is the star lineup, the subject matter, or the talent, it is basically the most.

Li Yihua has a large number of classic scripts in his mind, and he is worried about what script to choose, so as to maximize his own interests, accumulate popularity, and create wealth. Don't say that Li Yihua is vulgar, this world is like this, to realize your ideals, you have to play certain means when necessary, in order to get the so-called success. Besides, Li Yihua is not stealing or robbing, but just going beyond the present and borrowing things from the future.

During this period, action movies have almost ended their historical process and entered the world of comedy, and when people mention films in this period, they can't help but think of comedy, especially kung fu comedies. As soon as the kung fu comedy appeared, it fascinated thousands of audiences, and no one thought that such a combination would produce such a comedic effect, which made people sink deeply into it and never forget it for a long time!

Now in 1983, Li Yihua can think of a few more years, it will be the world of comedy, and now plagiarism is of course the first choice for comedy. Thinking seriously about the release period of the film, "Food Truck", which will be released next year, is Li Yihua's ideal goal. It is expected that "Fast Food Truck" will be created, Li Yihua will position the mainstream audience of the movie as about 20, those young people who are looking for passion, and guide them to start a different journey.

As for the location of the story, the selection of shooting scenes, or the choice of Spain, European-style castles are indispensable. The film's witty story, humorous performances, wonderful action, and the use of novel film techniques have attracted the attention of many fans, even from the perspective of Li Yihua's previous life, this film is still a film worth remembering and cherishing.

In the last life, in order to resist the commercial offensive of New Art City Films, Golden Harvest Company made a lot of money. This film is written and directed by Sammo Hung himself, and the fight scenes can be described as wonderful, among which the three-person fight between the three Jackie Chan brothers is impressive, which has made Li Yihua unforgettable for a long time.

Li Yihua's face was excited, such a classic movie was about to be produced in his own hands, thinking of this, he opened the manuscript paper and began to review "Food Truck", then stretched his waist, picked up the pen in his right hand and wrote.

"Thomas (played by Jackie Chan) and David (played by Yuan Biao), overseas Chinese young people in Barcelona, Spain, make a living by running food trucks, and another overseas Chinese fat man, Maobi (played by Sammo Hung ), is a thug of a detective agency and acts as the president of the detective agency"

"One day, a customer asked a detective agency to find a woman named Golia and her daughter Suvia (Lola Fonta) in 14 days, and as for the relevant clues, there is only a picture of Goliaa and a rumor that she once lived in Flower Street"

Because the president was away from debt, Maobi (Sammo Hung found Thomas (Jackie Chan) and David (Yuan Biao) to help, and began to search, and soon found Su Wei, who was a pickpocket, in a mental hospital, and revealed his identity. It turns out that the real identity of the person Hong was entrusted to find was the earl's daughter, which involved the huge inheritance left by the earl, as well as her brother's conspiracy to seize the property. In the end, of course, it is inevitable to stage a bitter battle to save the beauty of heroes."

At this point in the script, Li Yihua stopped, picked up a cup of tea and walked silently to the window, looking at the busy street scene outside and thinking.

Because the movie "Food Truck" is an action comedy, the movie script is not complicated, and it can be said to be clear at a glance. The most classic is the action part, it can be said that it is the key to the success of this movie, Li Yihua is not worried about this at all, Sammo Hung is called "Big Brother", which is not in vain.

Li Yihua has been nurtured in the previous life, and his vision has been greatly improved, and he cannot meet the action design of the original version. Li Yihua thinks about whether it will affect the development process of Hong Kong films if he joins the action design of later generations, what situation Hong Kong films will bring into, and if he ruins Hong Kong movies because of himself, it will really be impossible to redeem himself!

Li Yihua frowned, looking at the scene outside, as if everything was still, until a small bird flew by happily outside, Li Yihua suddenly woke up, isn't it the biggest change in this world? Due to his arrival, the butterfly effect is small, but the world has changed, so are you afraid of other changes? Li Yihua thought: Then use the knowledge of more than 30 years in the future to create a brilliant tomorrow for Hong Kong!

For Li Yihua, a high-achieving student who graduated from the Chinese opera directing department, he directly omitted the text writing and used the movie storyboard script to write instead. "Storyboard script", also known as "director's script", to put it bluntly, is the blueprint designed by the director for the film, after the director gets the script, he will cut the whole movie into a series of shots according to his own ideas, and create film and television language.

In general, the filming of movies is done by the screenwriter to provide the script, the director creates the storyboard script, and finally makes a complete movie, but what Li Yihua has to do is just the opposite, he has a ready-made movie picture in his mind, but he wants to convert it into a script, both of which have to go through the storyboard link.

Li Yihua looked at the manuscript that was several times thicker than the ordinary script, shook his head and smiled bitterly, for Li Yihua, who had repeatedly failed in his previous life, analyzing and studying the script was another hobby of his own, and he unconsciously added insights into the task of the script.

In this era, in the Hong Kong film industry, script writing is very informal, and most movies even only have a plot outline, and even the lines have to be thought about while shooting. Li Yihua's script does not dare to say that there is no one who will come after, but at least it is said that there is no one before.
