Chapter 261: I Think the Same Way
The two Xiang brothers are not stupid people, and after hearing this anecdote, they do have a feeling of sudden realization.
And the two of them looked at Shi Nansheng who looked slightly embarrassed on the side at the same time.
Because Shi Nansheng's husband is obviously such a big director who thinks too much.
In 83, Tsui Hark spent 20 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot, bringing together the most popular star lineup in Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Zheng Shaoqiu, Yuan Biao, Lin Qingxia, Liu Songren, Hong Jinbao, etc.
This film is the first stunt movie in Hong Kong, and Xu Ke even invited an American stunt team to come to support. The picture is delicate and beautiful, and the art direction and costume design are completed by the art master Zhang Shuping.

Then, then Zou Wenhuai's face was full of tears......
Xu Ke has too many private goods mixed in this movie, and the characters and threads are also complicated. Many viewers can't even understand what this movie is about, and the box office can be imagined.
In addition to Xu Ke, his good brother and good friend Wu Yusen also had this problem.
After joining Commonwealth Pictures, John Woo directed the film that made him famous, and completely established his style of Wu's violent aesthetics.
After that, Wu Yusen began to think about a breakthrough and wanted to climb to the top again! Because it didn't take long for the box office record in Hong Kong to be set, it was broken by Wang Jing and Stephen Chow together.
Speaking from the heart, John Woo actually doesn't like Wang Jing and Stephen Chow's, pee, fart and nonsensical style. Not only does John Woo look down on it, but in fact, no big director in Hong Kong can look down on this set of "things" that "can't be put on the stage".
But there is no way, the box office lethality of the combination of Wang and Zhou is too amazing. It's so amazing that almost all directors look at their box office with a feeble look.
After John Woo's box office record was broken, he was naturally unwilling, so he buried himself in hard thinking, and finally racked his brains to think of a peerless masterpiece.
As a result, this one made John Woo rack his brains. The movie that was painstakingly sketched and polished almost didn't make Wang Zuxian, who suffered a huge loss for the first time, cry......
Such examples abound.
Xiang Yusheng's eyes lit up a little and looked at Yan Qingyu, and said, "Yan Sheng, what do you mean ......?"
Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "I'm not asking you to just follow the trend, the contribution of the following works to Hong Kong films is really not much." In fact, it is very simple to make money from movies, Yongsheng only needs to innovate, but it does not need to be ahead. In addition, I don't think anyone in Hong Kong dares to use Yongsheng's investment to make any self-breakthroughs. β
The Xiang brothers couldn't help but look a little embarrassed again when they heard this, but the two of them were already a little used to being hit by Yan Qingyu. As long as there is a real benefit. These are trifles that are not worth mentioning......
Xiang Haoqiang said: "Yan Sheng, I have also made a few movies, and I know a little about movies. But I really don't know what Yan Sheng means by 'only seeking innovation, not being ahead of the curve'? Can Yan Sheng explain it in detail? β
The corners of Yan Qingyu's mouth curled, and he glanced at Xiang Qiang lightly, seeing that his expression was stiff, he immediately smiled lightly and said: "There are several very important breakthroughs and innovations in the history of Hong Kong films, such as Zhang Che's martial arts kung fu films that broke the taboo of violence. Another example is Li Hanxiang's male deception and female prostitution film, which broke the taboo of wealth. There is also Xu Guanwen's social comedy that breaks the taboo of good and evil.
Of course, Xu Kedao's epoch-making film in the history of martial arts movies can be regarded as a breakthrough. Because the martial arts movies before this movie can be called old martial arts movies. After this movie, martial arts movies are new martial arts movies.
In addition, there are Jianghu guns full of John Woo's violent aesthetic style. war film, a nonsensical comedy between Wang Jing and Stephen Chow.
These are the examples I cited. Naturally, it is not for you to make such a breakthrough, in fact, such a breakthrough is also unattainable. However, from the foundation of these breakthroughs, it is still possible to expand. Learn this style of theirs. But there should be its own innovation in the plot. There is no reason why such a movie is not popular. For example, the gambling film trilogy of the year was also in the style of gambling films. But the content is different. β
Yan Qingyu's every word, the Xiang brothers are listening carefully and remembering carefully. They could feel that Yan Qingyu was sincerely teaching them. That's right, it's to teach these two words.
In Hong Kong, there are many people who have the level to teach the two brothers in film, but there are very few people who are qualified to teach them. In the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, except for Shao Yifu who is qualified and dares to do this, there is probably only Yan Qingyu.
It's just that Yan Qingyu ignored the greedy nature of the people in the community, and after feeling Yan Qingyu's sincere teaching, Xiang Haoqiang's first reaction was to hit the snake and stick it, and he had to make inches. Xiang Haoqiang smiled: "Yan Sheng, we really don't know much about movies. Do you think this is good, if it is a movie of Tianxia Pictures in the future, we are willing to invest in Yongsheng. Yan Sheng, don't worry, I promise you that no matter what you lose, I will never say more than half a word. β
Xiang Shengsheng on the side heard this, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: The boy who picked your mother's street boy was gnawed by a donkey? Or when Yan Qingyu's head was kicked by a donkey? Even if it is known as the giant pit of the world's film industry, it is really profitable if you count the box office in other cities.
In fact, Tianxia Pictures, which has "all channels", as long as it does not die to make some banned films, there is absolutely no possibility of losing money. It's more about making a film and earning one!
Such a good thing, people are not stupid, and they don't have no funds to make films, why should they take you to make a fortune to Haoqiang?
Sure enough, the corners of Yan Qingyu's mouth once again floated a touch of mockery, and she smiled with some "surprise": "Xiang Sheng, do you think the friendship between us is so deep?" β
Xiang Haoqiang's face changed sharply when he heard this, the cold light in his eyes flickered, and his voice turned cold: "Yan Sheng, your willingness to come out to meet today actually shows that you have understood today's form." Yan Sheng, this time is not the same as in the past. β
Yan Qingyu also restrained the smile on her face, and said lightly: "For me, there is actually no difference between this time and the past. β
Seeing that Yan Qingyu refused to back down in terms of momentum, Xiang Haoqiang's edge was not so sharp, his eyes were staring at Yan Qingyu's eyes, as if he wanted to see even a trace of weakness in Yan Qingyu's eyes, but unfortunately, Yan Qingyu disappointed him.
Not to mention a mere club boss, even in the Shilin Mansion at the foot of Yangming Mountain, Xiao Jiang and Old Madam Song couldn't make Yan Qingyu's eyes change color, let alone him Xiang Xiangqiang.
The boss of the club, that's just a social rotten boy, just a high-level rotten boy.
Xiang Haoqiang snorted sullenly, and said in an urn voice: "What does Yan Sheng mean by this?" β
Yan Qingyu looked at Xiang Haoqiang with mocking eyes unscrupulously, and said, "It's very simple, I can tell you clearly." If what you do is beyond my boundaries, then I want you to disappear, which is definitely not a matter of suffering. β
"Bang!"
Xiang Haoqiang's face changed drastically, he slapped the table suddenly, stood up, pointed at Yan Qingyu and said angrily: "Yan Qingyu, what do you mean?" When I'm afraid you won't make it? Xiang Yusheng on the side also looked at Yan Qingyu with an extremely ugly face, Yan Qingyu's strength and sharpness were incomparable, beyond his imagination......
Yan Qingyu narrowed his eyes expressionlessly, and in some slender Danfeng eyes, his eyes were cold. He said lightly: "My words are what I mean." β
Xiang Haosheng couldn't understand that Yan Qingyu, who was polite and answered all questions just now, suddenly turned into this arrogant and uninhibited virtue that looked down on the world.
Xiang Haoqiang frowned, looked at Yan Qingyu with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "You're not afraid that I'll kill you now?" β
Yan Qingyu sneered when he heard this, looked at Xiang Haoqiang's face with a mocking gaze, and gently tapped the solid wood desk under his hand with his index finger, and after making a muffled sound of "tuk tuk", Yan Qingyu's eyes suddenly drooped and shifted to his fingers.
Yan Qingyu suddenly gestured on the desk with his right index finger, and following Yan Qingyu's gaze, the eyes of the two Xiang brothers also focused on Yan Qingyu's right index finger.
They could see that the word written on Yan Qingyu's right index finger was the word "death".
However, what shocked them the most was not the word, but the imprint of the word.
On this large solid wood desk, the word "death" appeared that sank into the desktop at least two centimeters deep.
Xiang Xiangsheng was just gone, he didn't practice martial arts. But Xiang Haoqiang is different, he has visited famous teachers since he was a child, practiced a superior national martial arts, and is proficient in Bagua Neijiaquan. After twenty years of penance, now he is only at the peak of Mingjin.
I have never eaten pork but have seen pigs run, Yan Qingyu just relies on this hand, which shows that he at least has dark kung fu.
Xiang Haoqiang knew that Chen Yaoxing was a master of national arts who was proficient in Bajiquan, otherwise he would not have taken a fancy to him among the tens of thousands of rotten boys.
However, he never expected that Chen Yaoxing, the younger brother's level of national arts, had actually reached such a height.
Xiang Haoqiang looked at Yan Qingyu with a shocked expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
Yan Qingyu smiled faintly: "Xiang Haoqiang, the reason why I showed my hand is not because I want to do anything to you. If it's a martial arts competition, you and I still have the possibility of doing it. But if it's for the so-called vendetta of the rivers and lakes, you ask yourself if you are qualified to let me take action in person? β
Xiang Haoqiang's face turned red when he heard this, and his hand pointing at Yan Qingyu was trembling, but he couldn't speak.
Yan Qingyu continued to say in a flat tone: "You are far less important than you think, and you are not as invincible as you feel yourself. So please don't be so unstoppable in front of me. After getting rid of you, I believe that too many people in the Xiang family will be happy, not only will they not trouble me, on the contrary, they will scold me, and even take the initiative to cut down your wife and children to the root to please me. You are not an indispensable role for New Ngee An.
Xiang Haoqiang, in the eyes of real bigwigs, you are actually just insignificant. Whether to kill you or not is just a question of whether it is necessary. I'm not a big deal, but I think so. (To be continued......)
