Chapter 238: Once Upon a Time 3: The Lion King Fights
Mr. Xu Zhenxiong is a veteran in the film industry that Xiao Ran respects very much, because he has dedicated almost his life to movies, and has never participated in various battles in the film industry.
So such a filmmaker is naturally very worthy of Xiao Ran's respect, and then because of the downturn in the movie, Xu Zhenxiong went to Yanjing TV to become an actor in a TV series, and then because his son made money, his old man was in a state of semi-retirement, or Xiao Ran personally went to the door to invite him out of the mountain.
The reason why he values Xu Zhenxiong is naturally because of his familiarity with movies and his strict adherence to the ethics of actors, coupled with his dedication to acting skills, so Mr. Xu Zhenxiong is not only a contracted actor of Shaw Film Company, but also an acting mentor for the actors of the entire company.
This profession is specially set up for him by Xiao Ran, and the salary alone is more than 10,000 fixed every month, but it is also worth the money, and his job is to help Xiao Ran teach the new actors who join the Xiao family when he is not filming, especially the actors that Xiao Ran is ready to support.
Su Min and Tang Jie, who are now preparing to play the roles of Huang Rong and Mu Nianci in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are also the apprentices of this old gentleman.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the old gentleman was already a little too old, Xiao Ran would even be willing to spend a lot of resources to support him, even if it was the current Huang Qiying and the role of Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Xiao Ran thought of Xu Zhenxiong for the first time.
In addition to the old gentleman's Huang Qiying, there are several more important characters in "Huang Feihong 3: The Lion King". For example, Ghost Foot Seven played by Lei Xiaolong.
For a long time, Xiao Ran has given many roles to Lei Xiaolong. But the most brilliant is the role of the security captain Ah Wei in "Mr. Zombie", and the real person of Jiugong in "Huang Feihong 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement". However, even these two characters still don't leave a deep impression on the audience.
However, this time in Ghost Foot Seven, Xiao Ran promised the second senior brother Lei Xiaolong that he would definitely be able to make many viewers remember him.
Because Ghost Foot Seven's footwork is too weird and superb, coupled with what happened to him next, many plots will resonate with the audience.
The experience of Ghost Foot Seven is that a pair of magical feet finally broke, and as a result, he was abandoned by Zhao Tianba and the whole society, and became a part of the bottom that everyone can spurn, but he was taken in by Huang Feihong. and helped him heal his foot and became his loyal apprentice, it can be said that Huang Feihong brought him a new life, and the scene of the master and apprentice releasing their suspicions in the rain touched countless people......
And in the end, there was a character in the first fight scene, that is, the arrogant and domineering Zhao Tianba, this character is still the villain of the first part, and the boss of the Shahe Gang, Guan Shihai, continues his villain road.
After Ding Crab in "The Great Era", Guan Shihai almost got the Emperor of Vision, and his popularity also skyrocketed. It can be said that the villain role has made his acting career, so he is also very grateful to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's script has just arrived. He took the role without asking for a salary.
And although the character of Zhao Tianba is not very high, his intelligence value is not bad, and he is arrogant. Two sides and three knives can be regarded as a very playful role.

"Once Upon a Time 3: The Lion King Fights the Second Scene of the Ninth Scene. Eksh! ā
Huang Feihong said: "This time the Lion King Conference has caused a storm in the city, and our martial arts community should also talk to the yamen!" ā
The old boxer smokes a pipe. A little helpless: "In this situation, I'm afraid that the yamen's words are not weighty, right?" Holding the Lion King Conference is the meaning of Lafayette and Master Li! ā
Huang Feihong continued: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, our martial arts community jointly sent a letter to Master Li and Lafayette, telling them the truth here, what do you think? ā
The whole scene starts with the scene of the two Cai Li Fo and the Baimei faction fighting, Huang Feihong uses a coat as a weapon to beat the disciples of the two factions without the power to fight back, and by defeating the master of the Baimei faction, he invites all their factions to gather together in Sanxiao Building.
From beginning to end, Huang Feihong is not the kind of wise way to protect himself as an ordinary Chinese ordinary person, but when he sees his compatriots fighting each other, he only has heartache and actively wants to solve the problem.
This also shows Huang Feihong's chivalrous spirit from one side, in addition to martial arts, he is more tolerant and chivalrous!
It can be said that the entire Huang Feihong series is one of the few series of movies that can be ranked with two sequels that are not inferior to the first one, and it can even be said that it is stronger than the first one.
And it is a group battle scene, such as the scene of fighting the apprentices of the two major sects alone, as well as a few scenes of fighting the lions alone, which are even more exciting than the group battle of the White Lotus Sect in the second part!
And Xiao Ran's insistence on directing the first three parts of Huang Feihong by himself is also out of his sincere love for these trilogies.
It can be said that the Wong Fei Hung series is one of the few movies that can achieve both word-of-mouth and box office, and it is a really good movie that can not only play well, but also make the audience think when watching, which is really a very rare masterpiece!
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran has to stay in the crew throughout the whole process, he does not allow the entire Huang Feihong series, especially the first trilogy, to make any mistakes in quality.
ā¦ā¦
"Once Upon a Time 3: The Lion King" took eleven days of filming, and finally finished filming most of the plot, leaving only the last few scenes of the lions, that is, the two scenes at the beginning and the end.
The most difficult thing is naturally the lion king conference at the end, there is no way to shoot the fight scenes fast at all, you can only shoot one shot and one action like this, and then cut them together in the post-editing, otherwise you can't shoot it at all.
At the same time, the two films under Yida Cinema Line have finally been drawn, "Police. Cha Story Sequel was painted earlier, but the final box office was nearly 520 million, about 100 million more than the previous work, which is also the reason why Xiao Ran mentioned yƬ Yuan Biao continued to shoot the third part, and this also proves that Yuan Biao began to have the ability to shoot a kung fu movie independently.
Although Yuan Biao's problem is the same as Yuan Baye's, both of them are good at martial arts and not good at literary drama, but Xiao Ran's approach is to improve the script, and then equip him with an assistant director who is good at literary drama, plus the movies handed over to Yuan Biao are all movies that focus on martial arts scenes and the individualism of the protagonist, so this problem is solved lightly.
As for the performance of the other movie "East Evil and West Poison", it was a little worse, even if Xiao Ran and Yida Cinema made up a lot of resources to give it, but the final box office was only 230 million, and in the end, because the attendance rate was too low, it was still forced to draw.
But at least the whole movie is not a loss, so as not to damage Xiao Ran's gold paint signboard, and Xiao Ran vaguely remembers that this movie seems to have been translated as "Ashes of Time" in his previous life, so after it was released in many Western countries, it had a good reputation, and the box office was passable, so Xiao Ran concocted it in the same way, and handed it over to the foreign distribution company of Yida Cinema Line to deal with after changing the name, hoping to win several international awards or accumulate a little box office as compensation......
ā¦ā¦
And Xiao Ran had already given out the "Police. Cha Story 3: Super Police. Cha", after Yuan Biao received the script, he started filming, because Xiao Ran's scripts are generally very complete, and even some plots will be supplemented with mirror scripts, which look as clear as comics, Yuan Biao only needs to shoot according to it.
If such conditions are coupled with the actor's schedule is well arranged, it can basically be shot very quickly, and the protagonist of this movie, Chen Jiaju, is the current director Yuan Biao, so he can direct and act directly on the set very well.
As for the role of another policewoman Xiaohua is played by Lin Qingqing, there are many scenes in this role that are very exciting, although Lin Qingqing is not fixed to sign a contract with Xiao Ran's company, but her acting skills and skills are still deeply appreciated by Xiao Ran and Yuan Biao, so as soon as she saw this role, she was immediately invited to participate.
There is also the actor of the leader of the drug trafficking syndicate is Mr. Xu Zhenxiong, whom Xiao Ran respects very much, his acting skills naturally need not be said, every move is a play, and an arrogant and vicious role is not challenging for Xu Zhenxiong at all.
The whole movie was filmed for 16 days, and the biggest problem was the framing problem, in addition to the domestic scene, there were also scenes in Xiangjiang and Malaysia, all of which were directly filmed on real location, and in the end, because the actors were very cooperative, they were able to shoot quickly and well.
The premiere was held on January 23rd, and there were many kung fu sparring sessions on the spot, in addition to traditional fighting methods, there were also actual combat sparring tutorials that combined with modern fighting like movies.
Many Chinese kung fu lovers went to the scene to watch the premiere, basically the premiere of Xiao Ran's movie is a rare ticket now, and finally it became a showdown of relationships, many people take whether they can get the ticket for the premiere of Xiao Ran's movie as a standard to measure whether the relationship is hard or not!
Now Xiao Ran's identity is no longer yesterday's Wuxia Ameng, at this time he is the upstart of the entire film industry, the most popular star and director, as well as an investor, and countless people rely on him to eat!
Therefore, "Police. Cha Story 3: Super Police. In addition to Yuan Baye and Chen Guoxin, Huayi boss Wang Zhongshi, Huayi director Li Hanbin, as well as Xu Guangwen, who has been poached by Jiayi, and Li Shengtian, the most popular director of Encyclopedia, all came to support, there are more than a dozen directors alone, plus other filmmakers and representatives of major newspapers, it can be described as unprecedentedly lively!
