Chapter 239: Jueyuan is coming
There are five major cinema chains in Hong Kong, which is something that all Hong Kong people and even overseas film companies know.
The five cinema chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Shuangnan and Anle are all looting huge box office revenues in Hong Kong every year. And the strongest Shaw Brothers, Golden Princess and Golden Harvest, have been fighting endlessly in the prime time of Hong Kong movies in recent years, fighting to the death.
This year is no exception, although Li Xuan's "Lucky Star Gaozhao" and Xu Ke's "Best Partner" have not yet been filmed, but both theaters have begun to promote in advance, after all, there are only more than two months left before the New Year. And outside the theaters of the two theaters of Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, their respective movie posters have been quietly hung, and they have been promoted even earlier than the Christmas movies.
The annual box office battle in Hong Kong's prime time has become an inherent program for Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess. For example, this year, in addition to Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, Shaw Brothers will release "Eighteen Martial Arts" directed by Liu Jialiang in the New Year. Li Xuan, the representative of the Golden Harvest New Year file, is ready to fight a vicious battle with Princess Jin and the Shaw Brothers.
It's just that what Li Xuan didn't expect was that Shuangnan Cinema seemed to be going to make a move this New Year's file.
The cinema chain of Hong Kong leftist film companies is also known as the 'Shuangnan Cinema Line', which actually refers to the Nanyang Cinema in Wan Chai and the Nanhua Cinema in Mong Kok. These two cinemas have the best geographical location in the Shuangnan Cinema Line, and they are also the cinemas with the highest box office revenue.
And the place where Li Xuan suddenly stopped was at the gate of the Nanhua Cinema Line.
"What surprised you so much?" Zhong Chuhong was puzzled and poked his head next to Li Xuan, raising his eyes to look out of the car window.
At this glance, Zhong Chuhong saw a huge poster hanging at the gate of the Nanhua Theater. On the poster, there is a monk dressed as a bald man boxing, and on the background cloth behind the man, there are more than a dozen little monks who are learning boxing.
"Shaolin Temple?" Zhong Chuhong frowned, and slowly read the content on the poster: "Jet-Li, Li Lianjie, was grandly released in Hong Kong on January 21, 1982. A very ordinary movie, what's so surprising about this? ”
"Ordinary?"
Li Xuan retracted his gaze, hugged Zhong Chuhong back to his seat, and started the sedan again before continuing: "If this is an ordinary movie, can Shuangnan Cinema Line be released in the New Year?" ”
"Hey, yes, when did Shuangnan start grabbing the New Year's stalls?" Zhong Chuhong suddenly asked.
"Ahh
Li Xuan let out a long sigh and said slowly: "No matter when he started, anyway, there is a good show in Hong Kong this New Year." ”
"Why are you so depressed, I watch this movie in general, maybe it's similar to the "Shaolin Temple" made by Shaw Brothers a few years ago." Zhong Chuhong asked suspiciously.
In 1976, Shaw Brothers directed Guo by the great director Zhang Ce A movie called "Shaolin Temple", which tells some things about Fang Shiyu's martial arts practice in Shaolin Temple, which is an old-fashioned martial arts film. Now that this movie has only passed five years, it is not strange for Zhong Chuhong to link the two together.
"The difference is huge." Li Xuan glanced at the neon signs on the side of the road and said casually: "You said that if you can see the real Shaolin Temple in a movie, you can see the mountains and rivers of the mainland, you can see the real Shaolin Kung Fu, and this movie is also very well-made, will you watch it more times?" ”
"Hey, it's possible." Zhong Chuhong nodded with a look of hope, but then looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked, "But how do you know so much?" You're not really a ...... on the mainland."
"What the hell is going on in your head!" Li Xuan glanced at Zhong Chuhong hatefully, and then explained: "Zhang Xinyan, the director of this "Shaolin Temple", is a Hong Kong native, or he got on the mainland through Shao Yifu's line. When I was filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I would talk to Shao Yifu about these things in private, and he told me. ”
"Forehead ......"
Seeing Zhong Chuhong cowardly close her mouth, Li Xuan pinched her nose a little angrily and funny. Seeing Zhong Chuhong angrily pat his troublesome hand, Li Xuan smiled lightly and continued to drive home.
This New Year's file, a super fierce battle is indispensable!
Time flies, and the craze for Li Xuan's discussion of the position of action design in Hong Kong has also settled down after a month of boiling, quietly waiting for the sudden outbreak in the coming year.
At this time, Wang Jin is stepping up to produce the late stage of "Black Man 2", so as to face the election of the concubine of Golden Harvest a week later. And Li Xuan also did more than half a month in the later stage of "Lucky Stars", and then gathered this group of actors to shoot the last big melee of "Lucky Stars".
Golden Harvest Axe Mountain Road set, in the studio.
"Click!"
As soon as Cheng Long in front of the camera put on a flirtatious posture and was about to kick Feng Ke'an in the face on the other side, Li Xuan shouted 'click' and stood up.
"Change the lens, change the direction, Ah Can, you are ready." Li Xuan pointed to Tang Yancan, who was wearing the same clothes and haircut as Chenglong in the family class, and said.
“ok!”
Tang Yancan waved his hand and walked in front of Feng Ke'an instead of Chenglong.
"The 31st scene is a shot, action! Smack—"
As soon as the clapperboard was knocked down, in the monitor in front of Li Xuan, he saw Feng Ke'an's face being kicked by 'Chenglong' hatefully, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Ay! Li Xuan let out a long sigh in his heart.
The crew used a stand-in for Chenglong, but there was no way, his vertebrae were displaced, and he could get out of bed and walk within three months, and even pose for kung fu was already very good. If he really let him start fighting, Li Xuan was really afraid that Chenglong would be half-paralyzed. Just put a few poses, Li Xuan also invited a doctor from the hospital to help take care of it.
As soon as Feng Ke'an stood up, 'Chenglong' made another wonderful roundhouse kick, and then Feng Ke'an fell down the stairs again, and the villain was finally knocked out.
"Okay, Ah Long, go and lie down next to you now, your role is over for the time being." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chenglong.
He was very worried about Chenglong's scenes today, for fear that any actor would not be able to hold back his hand, and accidentally folded Chenglong, a person whose waist had been broken in half, completely.
Fortunately, everyone is very measured, and nothing happened after the filming.
The next step is naturally to shoot the funny fight scenes of several people in Wufuxing, these people have black bellies and black bellies, and they want to play treasures and treasures, and the atmosphere of the crew is much more relaxed than when filming Chenglong's fight scenes.
In fact, among the five lucky stars, the person with the most unique status is not Zeng Zhiwei, who is inextricably linked with New Ngee An, nor Hong Jingbao, the big brother in the film industry, but Feng Qufen, the director who looks black.
In recent years, Hong Kong films want to be screened in Taiwan, and the production of films must be made to join an organization called the "** General Association". Golden Harvest cannot be an exception, Shaw Brothers cannot be an exception, New Art City cannot be an exception, and even Li Xuan's company is naturally no exception.
**The full name of the Federation is called the Hong Kong and Kowloon Film and Drama Association**, which is a right-wing trade union organization of the Hong Kong film industry established in 1956 and initiated by pro-Taiwan film industry figures. **The association is supported by the Taiwanese political axe, which has the power to censor Hong Kong films for release in Taiwan. According to the regulations at this time, if there are non-members of the film production staff, the film will not be allowed to be released in Taiwan.
So now in Hong Kong, in addition to those members of leftist film companies, 80 percent of the film practitioners have joined this ** association.
And Feng Qufen, who looks black but actually has a very good temper, is the backbone member of the ** association. With his participation, there is no problem at all with the release of this film in Taiwan. Of course, Li Xuan also felt that even without Feng Qufen, it would not be a problem for his film to be released in Taiwan.
In short, just three days before the election of the concubine of Golden Harvest, Li Xuan, who had finished filming all the movie scenes, rushed into the post-production room with people. (To be continued.) )
