When Chen Xiaotang revised the script of his "Crazy Boy" and handed it back to Fang Yihua, he said his idea by the way.
"I'm going to integrate fighting content into the black~gang film "Crazy Boy" and package it into a fighting movie!" Chen Xiaotang got straight to the point.
Fang Yihua was slightly stunned, because everyone had discussed filming this drama into the type of "Godfather" before, but now ...... Why did Ah Tang suddenly change his mind?
"I don't quite understand, can you explain what the purpose of your revision is?" Fang Yihua asked.
Chen Xiaotang sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "Nowadays, the HK movie genre is divided into kung fu comedy films, mainly Cheng Long and Hung Jinbao of Golden Harvest; traditional martial arts films, mainly based on our Shaw Brothers films; and zombie ghost films, mainly based on the "Happy Ghost" series filmed by Xinyi City. These three film genres basically account for about 70% of HK's annual production. If we carefully dissect these three types, we will find that they have one thing in common, that is, ------ kung fu!! Whether you are juggling, ghost hunting, or flying away, you basically rely on the gimmick of kung fu to attract people. ”
"As the saying goes, all kinds of changes are inseparable. Now that we've found the crux of it, why can't we just uncover those coats and make a high-quality kung fu fighting movie? ”
After listening to Chen Xiaotang's discussion, Fang Yihua smiled and said: "Tang Zai, I understand what you said, you want to follow Bruce Lee's former kung fu route, right?" But I have to remind you that there is only one Bruce Lee in this world, although you are very popular and popular, but it is still unknown whether everyone will buy your kung fu movies or not...... What's more, our Shaw Brothers have also filmed similar movies before, such as "Martial Arts", "Crazy Monkey", etc., but the box office is not very good, and now people's interest is to watch burlesque kung fu. Watching zombies hunt ghosts, the gimmick of bloody fighting is no longer popular. ”
Chen Xiaotang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Aunt Six, don't worry, since I am going to start filming this kind of fighting and black~ gang type movie, I must be sure to shoot it well." After all, you have already read the script, this kung fu version of "Crazy Boy" must be good enough!! ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaotang swore an oath. Fang Yihua was also embarrassed to hit his self-confidence, and after thinking about it again, Chen Xiaotang always likes to do something different, but every time he is hit by luck, he turns danger into danger, and even miracles come out one after another, maybe this time......
Fang Yihua thought of this, so he said: "Okay, Ah Tang, you can show this script to Director Xiao Sheng and Director Wang Tianlin to study." I'll help you prepare first, what do you think? ”
Hearing what Aunt Sixth said, Chen Xiaotang knew that this matter had been done. I was very happy.
But immediately the sixth aunt spoke again. "Ah Tang, this time we are fighting against ATV wirelessly thanks to you, although the final ratings still failed to overpower ATV, but the morale has still improved."
Chen Xiaotang understood as soon as he heard this, **There is something to say later.
Sure enough, the sixth aunt continued: "But this time we suffered a loss after all. ATV was also very high-profile, saying that it was going to start filming another drama to step on us. I got the news that the new drama that is ready to start filming over there is "Huo Dongge". You must know that this drama is obviously filmed under the guise of the sequel to "Huo Yuanjia", and we can't resist it when we fight with "Huo Yuanjia", I'm afraid we will be stepped on by the other party this time! ”
"Huo Dong Pavilion"?!
Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned.
You must know that Chen Xiaotang appreciates the episodes of ATV in his previous life. Especially the "Huo Yuanjia" trilogy.
At that time, ATV was not as declining as it would be in the future, and it was overwhelmed by wireless. Chen Xiaotang remembers that in the 80s, ATV's dramas were broadcast more than TV's. The first Hong Kong TV series introduced by the mainland was ATV's "Huo Yuanjia", followed by sequels "Chen Zhen" and "Huo Dongge" soon after.
As soon as the theme song of "Huo Yuanjia" was played, it immediately became popular all over the country. Huang Yuanshen, who played Huo Yuanjia, later knew that he was a monk. It is also worth mentioning that Michelle became the earliest Hong Kong TV actress familiar to mainland audiences through this play.
followed by "Chen Zhen" and "Huo Dongge". When I watched these dramas when I was a child, the TV station generally showed four episodes in a row every night, and there were only two or three commercials in each episode.
Liang Xiaolong, who played Chen Zhen, later came out again to play the evil god of fire clouds in Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu", and his legs were very good. The theme song of "Chen Zhen" is also very classic, and later these children changed the lyrics themselves according to that tune and sang it as 'Child, I am your father', which is very fun.
However, Chen Xiaotang's deepest memory of the play "Huo Dongge" is not the kung fu in it, but the fact that Huo Dongge, played by Qian Xiaohao, always kissed his Japanese girlfriend, and later her girlfriend couldn't be with Huo Dongge because of her Japanese identity, so she decided to commit suicide, and she had a long kiss with Huo Dongge before she died. To use a fashionable word, envy others!
But Chen Xiaotang knew. The ratings of this drama are still good, just like the "Condor Shooting" trilogy, ATV has achieved the classics of kung fu films in the Republic of China with these three dramas.
Chen Xiaotang came back to his senses from his reverie and said, "Aunt Six, this time ATV is attacking hard. is nothing more than relying on the prestige of the previous two dramas "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen" to attract the audience's attention, we don't have to be too nervous, so as not to mess up. ”
"Alas, Ah Tang, I don't know what you said, but our foundation in filming kung fu dramas in the Republic of China is very weak, there are experts like Xu Xiaoming over there, we only have Xiao Sheng, Wang Tianlin and other good players who are good at shooting martial arts dramas, in comparison, I really don't know how to deal with it." Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua sighed, and then said: "After thinking about it, the only way to shoot a Republic of China drama like "Shanghai Tang" may be able to compete with it, but such a heroic drama has basically been filmed by ourselves, and we can't shoot anything new again...... That's why I'm distressed. ”
Hearing what Aunt Sixth said, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but think of two very classic Shanghai Beach dramas in his previous life, one was "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" starring Chen Tingwei. The other is "Huangpu Love" starring Zhang Zhilin.
is the so-called: drunk gold fans, laughing at the changes in Shanghai; The heroes competed with each other, and single-handedly overturned the ten-mile ocean......
"Goodbye Whampoa Beach" is a TV series similar to the nature of a biography, the prototype of which is the Shanghai Tang tycoon Du Yuesheng in the thirties, but changed to Du Guosheng in the play. In addition, this drama has another more domineering name "Shang~ Beach Godfather". I have to say that Chen Tingwei, as the leading actor, is very "powerful", and he understands the character of Du Guosheng very thoroughly, and it is estimated that he usually reads Du Yuesheng's biography. In addition, he seems to be very good at starring in this kind of TV series, every move, quite a tycoon and a hero, it can be said that Chen Xiaotang is the most similar actor he knows.
In contrast, "Huangpu Love" is like the name of this play, although the whole play runs through the blood and passion of men competing for dominance on the beach, but the whole play is more like the storyline in Qiong Yao's novel. In particular, the love between men and women is portrayed more delicately than "Shang~Beach". Especially the love between Ren Feihong starring Zhang Zhilin and Nanxing starring Guo Keying is regarded as a classic in this life by many sentimental girls.
As a man, Chen Xiaotang still prefers the more domineering "Goodbye Huangpu Beach", but from the perspective of TV series ratings, "Huangpu Love" is definitely better, without it, just because this drama can impress female audiences more, and as we all know, in the Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong TV viewing group, female audiences are one or two percent higher than male audiences.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was thinking about it, the sixth aunt Fang Yihua seemed to have seen the clue, so she asked: "Ah Tang, do you have any ideas, you can talk about it, it is best to help the company-----"
So Chen Xiaotang didn't hide it and said what he thought in his heart, of course, he had to be cheeky and say that these two dramas were conceived by himself before, and they might just be able to use them.
At the beginning, the sixth aunt Fang Yihua didn't have much hope for what Chen Xiaotang said, and the reason why she asked him just now was because she was curious.
But now Chen Xiaotang has roughly told the story content of the two dramas "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "Huangpu Love", and the sixth aunt and her old man were stunned, her eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Xiaotang very strangely.
Chen Xiaotang didn't notice the strange behavior of Aunt Liu, but he analyzed how these two dramas should be filmed in detail, and predicted what the ratings would be after filming.
It wasn't until Chen Xiaotang felt that his mouth was dry, that he realized that something was wrong, how could the sixth aunt look at herself with such a blurred and ambiguous look, wouldn't it be ------that she wanted the old cow to eat tender grass? !
Chen Xiaotang is a chilling cicada.
His uncle, I don't sell my art!
Fortunately, at this time, the sixth aunt came to her senses and coughed to hide her gaffe, but she still couldn't help but ask Chen Xiaotang: "You mean, these two plays were conceived by you before?" ”
Chen Xiaotang said in his heart, of course not, I copied it! But the mouth vibrated and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
picked, and shamelessly came to a rhetorical question.
"Talented, worthy of being a talent!" The sixth aunt sighed, "It seems that you are really the lucky general of our wireless TV station, such a good TV series can be thought of by you, not bad, very good, very good!" ”
Chen Xiaotang was embarrassed.
Don't praise anymore, I'll be proud.

I like Chen Tingwei in "Goodbye Whampoa Beach" very much, I watched this drama twice on TV, and I once had the luxury of buying discs to collect them, but unfortunately I didn't sell them. It's a small pity. Today's three watches, more than 11,000 words, ruthless enough!
