Chapter 272: October

On September 24, 1982, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had just won the Falklands War, visited China and held a 'cordial and friendly' meeting with Chinese leaders on the future of Hong Kong. After the talks, Margaret Thatcher walked out of the Great Hall of the People with a solemn face.

Then, she fell......

Then the news reached Hong Kong, and the stock market and real estate immediately caused a shock, and the already sluggish Hong Kong economy was even worse, many rich people ran away one after another, and Hong Kong's financial and real estate circles were even more mournful.

However, at this time, Li Xuan was still running around in the United States for the release of "This Man is from Earth", but he did not see the first-hand scene of people's hopes shattered in Hong Kong.

After Li Xuan got the release of the movie, he got up and rushed back to Hong Kong, he, the producer of "The True Color of Heroes", has not been in the crew for a day, and he has to see if Wu Yusen's filming is to his taste.

As for the release of "This Man from Earth", MGM and people from major theaters are responsible, and now the theater supervision system in the United States is very perfect, and the distributor and theater chain will also find the audience to do questionnaires from time to time, and Li Xuan is in Hong Kong and does not shoot these Americans playing any tricks.

"Is the sprinkler ready?" Wu Yusen shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Ok, ready!"

Wu Yusen nodded and replied loudly: "Everything is ready, everyone is buried in their respective positions, ready to shoot again, and the sprinkler will start sprinkling." ”

"Whoa—"

As soon as the director's words fell, a large stream of water sprayed out of the high-pressure water gun, which was overwhelmingly drenched, and the people of the props team pressed the flash from time to time next to him to make the effect of thunder and lightning.

As for Zhang Guorong, who was standing in the 'rain', he was drenched.

"The 51st second shot, action'! Smack-"

Huang Yuetai, who took back the position of chief cameraman as soon as he returned from the United States, hid in a small specially built rain shelter with a camera, and pointed the camera at Di Long, who was standing under the eaves.

Zhang Guorong braved the 'heavy rain' and walked in front of Di Long.

Dillon smiled lightly and called, "Applejack! ”

"Bang-"

Zhang Guorong had a cold face and punched Di Long in the stomach, and then Di Long endured the pain and retreated several steps, and also stepped into the pouring 'heavy rain'.

"Applejack, calm down." Di Long hunched his waist slightly, covering his wound and said.

Zhang Guorong didn't answer, and directly scuffled with Di Long.

It rained all the time

……

Hong Kong actors are not as good as American actors, and they are still filming in the rain in the middle of the night, but fortunately, the temperature is not low in October, otherwise Li Xuan doesn't know if Zhang Guorong will get sick, as for Di Long, he was born in martial arts and his health has been improving.

Di Long and Zhang Guorong's performances are quite remarkable, after all, they have been filming for so long, but it is the first time Zhang Guorong has made such a serious movie, and he is still a little excited, and he performs from time to time, but it is not a big problem.

As for Wu Yusen's directing skills, it was okay, after Li Xuan came back, many scenes were eagerly discussed by the two before the start of filming, anyway, Li Xuan kept the topic on the aesthetics of violence, but Wu Yusen blew up some inspiration from time to time, which made him remake some movie shots later.

This made Li Xuan a little crying and laughing, in short, Wu Yusen is now in the enlightenment stage of his own violent aesthetics, and Li Xuan doesn't mind pushing more, of course, it is also to make "The True Color of Heroes" look better.

In this movie, Li Xuan went to Golden Harvest's Christmas file.

This year, Golden Harvest can be said to be the leader, with Hong Jingbao's "Lucky Star Gaozhao" in the Spring Festival file, and Chenglong's "Weilong Detective" in the summer file, but the Christmas file was empty like last year.

It's not that Golden Harvest doesn't have a director, it's that there are only two or three directors with box office appeal.

Wu Yusen has now left Jiahe and run to Li Xuan, and is stepping up the filming of "The True Color of Heroes". However, Chenglong is still running around the world, trying to expand his international popularity. And Xu Yiwen, who has already returned to Hong Kong, has not recovered from the blow of his brother's backboard, and there has been no shooting plan.

As for Hong Jingbao, this poor baby with his Hong family class is still accompanying Xu Ke to shoot "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", this movie with an investment of 20 million has been filmed for six months, and recently invited Hollywood special effects personnel to help film, which is the most anticipated movie by the Hong Kong public this year.

Jiahe's intention is obvious, this "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is going to next year's New Year's file. But now only Li Xuan knows in Hong Kong that this movie died a miserable death......

At this time, Wang Jin, who had been wandering outside to help people make films, also found Li Xuan and handed over a movie of "Ghost Horse and Flying Man", which is a typical Wang Jin-style comedy, and it is still a very popular superman movie, which is a low-cost and box office movie type, Li Xuan agreed to the filming of this movie with a stroke of his pen.

But thinking about the troubles caused by Wang Jin when he filmed "Black Man 2" last year, Li Xuan also casually put on the title of a producer, anyway, he didn't have his share in the Christmas and New Year's files, so he just became a movie producer.

As the ** share gradually passed, when Xu Ke's "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" was about to be completed, Li Xuan's "This Man is from Earth" was also screened on 300 screens in the United States.

“hi! Ashley, you're here to watch a movie too? ”

In front of a theater in San Francisco's Chinatown, a Chinese boy saw a beautiful white girl and hurriedly went up to say hello, with an excited blush on his face.

"Oh, Bruce, why are you here?" Ashley asked, looking at the boy quizzically.

"My house is here, and a shop over there is my family." Bruce pointed to the other side of the street and continued, "Ashley, are you here to see the movie?" ”

"Of course, I'm a Jacky fan now." Ashley shook her body and said mischievously.

"Oh, then you should have come earlier." Bruce replied, "Jacky did an event with us last month, and I got a poster of him autographed. ”

"Huh? Are you sure? You're in luck! Ashley said enviously.

"Gree......" Bruce hesitated for a moment and said, "Ashley, since you like it, how about I send you the poster?" ”

"Yay? What about yourself? Ashley asked.

"It doesn't matter!" Bruce waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, Jacky promised to come to Chinatown again next time, and I just need another poster then." ”

Ashley said excitedly, "Oh, thank you, Bruce!" ”

"No thanks, let's go to the movies first, and then go to my house to get the poster when we're done." Bruce looked at Ashley's movie ticket and asked as he walked with her to the theater, "Ashley, why did you come to Chinatown to watch a movie?" ”

"Oh, I'm so annoyed when I talk about that." Ashley looked at the movie poster in front of the theater and said, "I searched three blocks to find a place to show this movie, and I wanted to see what the director's new film "Police Story" looks like? I heard that this is his first time making an American film, and maybe it won't disappoint me. ”

"Definitely not, Ashley." Bruce greeted his fellow citizens at the moment.

"Hopefully ......"

The same thing and the same conversation happened at the gates of more than 200 theaters in every state in the United States. Many fans of Chenglong were confused by the "Police Story" on the poster and stepped into the cinema one after another. They want to see what kind of popular sci-fi film a director who makes such a high-quality action movie will make.

Bruce, a stuffy man who wants to pick up girls, not only packed a lot of popcorn and drinks, but also spent money to sit next to Ashley after entering the theater, looking at Ashley who was holding popcorn and chewing carefully, Bruce's heart was like being poured **.

Because the theater is located in Chinatown, and Li Xuan is the Chinese director of "Police Story", the people in Chinatown are very face-saving, and the first show on the first day was full.

They didn't have to wait long for the lights in the cinema to dim, and a beam of light hit the screen from behind, and the theater was instantly silent, except for the sound of two 'clicks' of chewing popcorn.

At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist John was packing his luggage outside the house, and several friends came to see him off.

Everything is normal now, but Bruce wonders why it doesn't look like a sci-fi movie at all?

For the next fifteen minutes, most of the people in the theater were Spartan......

A few couches, a stove, a few scholars, and after fifteen minutes of talking, the audience's first reaction when they heard John say that he had lived for 140 centuries was that he had finally entered the science fiction topic, and finally aroused a little interest in them. But the next development was beyond everyone's expectations, there was no big scene, no sci-fi laser tag scene, no aliens and the like.

Talking, talking, talking all the time.

The theater, which was still quiet, gradually became buzzing, some audiences watched the movie with a serious face, some audiences were about to fall asleep, some audiences and the people next to them began to discuss the plot enthusiastically, and some audiences began to scold.

"Oh, **! What kind of science fiction movie is this? ”

"Pounce on your old man, director this decrepit boy!"

"MyGod, is this movie all talk? It's boring. ”

"Oh, wasting my time and money, **!"

“……”

As the movie continues to play, the audience has gradually been divided into two parts, those who like this movie think that it is full of creativity and wonderful, and those who don't like it think that it is not a science fiction film at all, but a literary film under the guise of science fiction, which cheats them out of money.

Bruce listened to the commotion around him, and whispered to Ashley, who was frowning slightly, "Ashley, let's go out, it's too noisy here." ”

"yes, I don't know what they're arguing about." Ashley said rather frustratedly: "This movie is obviously very good, can't they see it?" ”

"Yay?"

Bruce, who almost fell asleep, was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words and said: "That's it, the movie is really good, we don't care about those people, let's watch the movie and talk about it, anyway, there are subtitles." ”

But by the time the movie was halfway through, the noise in the theater had already gone down, some of them were people who couldn't stand it and left directly, and the other part was that Bruce was recruited.

And only sixty percent of the people in the theater remained......

However, these sixty percent of people are watching the movie seriously, and every word of the protagonist in it slowly echoes in their hearts, what if they are the immortal person? What would happen if I met someone who was immortal? How can you refute the protagonist's astonishing statements?

One by one, one by one, doubts surfaced in their minds.

The film slowly screened to the end, and with the reversal of the identity of the old professor Will today, all the doubts, speculations and interrogations in front of him turned into exclamations.

This director, this screenwriter, this idea, it's amazing!

After the movie screening, the theater gradually lit up again, and many people were still sitting motionless in their chairs, feeling the throbbing of their hearts after watching the movie.

Even Bruce, who was about to fall asleep at first, felt as if his heart was shaken.

"Ashley, let's go, go to my house and get the poster!" Bruce slowly came to his senses and whispered.

"No need, I've decided ......" Ashley suddenly said with a serious face: "I've decided to be a fan of this director from today, by the way, I heard that he is a Hong Kong director, Bruce, do you have any videotapes of his previous films?" ”

"Yay?" (To be continued.) )
