Wang Zichuan and Chen Hong were separated at the airport of the capital of Jiangxi Province, Chen Hong transferred back to his hometown, and Wang Zichuan continued to drive northwest, this time the target was Dun in Gan Province. Huang, "New Dragon Gate Inn" was filmed here, as the producer and producer of the film, and also a friend of Liang Jiahui and Lin Qingxia, Wang Zichuan had to come over to see it both in public and private.

When he got off the bus at the bus station, Wang Zichuan saw the maverick Xu Lao Wei at a glance, standing alone on the side of the road, alone.

"Hey! Xu Ke, why are you alone? ”

"Mr. Wang, that ...... When I received your call, the crew was filming, so I came over myself. ”

Wang Zichuan saw the surprised eyes of the people around him, probably did not understand the Cantonese spoken by the two, and then looked at the decoration of the two, it is easy to think of Hong Kong businessmen, in Gan Province, there are many people who come to travel every year, including Hong Kong people.

"Mr. Wang, this is not the place to talk, go back to the hotel first...... It's called a travel agency, and I've booked a room for you. Xu Ke invited Wang Zichuan to get in the car.

Wang Zichuan took a look, the Chang'an brand van, which should have been purchased by the crew of "New Dragon Gate Inn" in the mainland, turned around, turned a few intersections, and arrived at a road seven or eight meters wide, and the car kept driving south along the road.

"Xu Ke, how is the movie?"

"Mr. Wang, the movie has filmed some literary dramas, and it is currently in the run-in stage."

Wang Zichuan advised: "This film must be made with new ideas, many filmmakers in Hong Kong are paying attention to this "New Dragon Gate Inn", martial arts films have been in decline for so long, it's time to shine again." ”

Xu Ke solemnly replied: "I understand, Mr. Wang is relieved. ”

"I remember there was a movie called "Dragon Gate Inn", an old film from twenty years ago!"

"Mr. Wang, that is the work of Mr. Hu Jinquan of the Clan, a classic of the times, don't hide it from Mr. Wang, I originally had a lot of ideas, and finally watched "Dragon Gate Inn". decided to make a "New Dragon Gate Inn". ”

Tsui Hark talked about his feelings after the remake of the classic film "Dragon Gate Inn" to "New Dragon Gate Inn", and sighed: "Hu Jinquan's martial arts films are greatly influenced by Peking Opera, and the stage sense is very heavy, many people in the crew have been his fans, when filming "New Dragon Gate Inn", I really want to get rid of the stage feeling, but as soon as I get rid of the stage feeling, Hu Jinquan's feeling is gone, how to choose this aspect, how to continue to develop. It's really an unavoidable question. ”

Wang Zichuan nodded secretly, it seems that Xu Ke's attitude is very serious, he was worried that "New Dragon Gate Inn" came out three years ahead of schedule, and whether it would not meet the original requirements, but after watching it, he was too careful, and Xu Ke could still carry the banner of martial arts films.

"Martial arts" embodies Chinese-style romanticism, and unlike the "daydreaming" of American "Westerns", "martial arts" transcends it on the basis of "reality". Therefore, when people appreciate literary and artistic works related to "martial arts". Focusing on the "artistic conception" of the combination of virtual and real, and focusing on the humanistic spirit hidden behind the "martial arts", martial arts culture is the main feature of martial arts literary and artistic works. As a martial arts movie in the new era, "New Dragon Gate Inn" adheres to this characteristic. The whole story takes place in a dilapidated inn in the desert - a vast desert, a remote inn. A lonely sunset, a few sleepy camels and horses, and a bitter cold wind...... All of them make people think of "leading horses to the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife." The day of Pingsha is not gone. Gloomy Sight Lintao...... The yellow dust is enough to see the ancient, and the white bones are messy with basil", which makes people feel a sense of desolation and loneliness. In fact, this kind of artistic conception is difficult to see in martial arts movies in the sixties and seventies, in fact, this kind of creation of "artistic conception" allows the audience to get rid of the psychological dependence on specific time and space, thereby diluting the sense of reality and reality, so that people pay more attention to "god", pay attention to "qi", rather than pure "martial arts", so that those martial arts skills with dance colors in the film are easily accepted by the audience, and there is no sense of falsehood.

When they arrived at the crew, the crew was distributing boxed lunches, Wang Zichuan and Xu Ke had already had lunch in the travel agency, so they didn't need to eat anymore, Liang Jiahui ate the chicken legs in three or two bites, quickly shaved a few bites of rice, wiped his mouth, and ran to Wang Zichuan with a smile.

"Mr. Wang."

Wang Zichuan smiled and patted the other party's shoulder a few times, and said with concern: "Ah Hui, I'm still used to filming here." ”

Liang Jiahui smiled: "It's good here, but there is more sand." ”

Zhen Zidan, who played the villain, glanced at Wang Zichuan twice, Xu Ke was respectful in front of the other party, which surprised him, during this time in the crew, he saw Xu Ke give orders, and when he was angry, even the director obediently obeyed.

"Who is this man?"

Zhen Zidan felt that the other party must be a big person, so his heart moved, put down the lunch, took out the toothpick in his pocket, stepped forward to put his arm around Liang Jiahui's shoulder, and made a few jokes.

Wang Zichuan admired the surrounding yellow sand for a while, and sighed: "This place is indeed different from Hong Kong. ”

"I think it's nice here!" Lin Qingxia walked over with an elegant smile, Lin Qingxia was next to Zhang Manyu, she smiled reservedly at Wang Zichuan, and stood beside Liang Jiahui.

The leading actors of the movie are all here, Liang Jiahui is wearing a gray robe of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Manyu is really like a boss lady, Lin Qingxia is dressed as a man, wearing a hat to shade the sun, Zhen Zidan is also wearing eunuch costumes, Liang Jiahui plays Zhou Huai'an, this role Li Lianjie has also played, Zhang Manyu plays Jin Jiyu, that is, the innkeeper's lady, it seems that she is very into the play, Lin Qingxia plays the heroine Qiu Moyan, Qiu Moyan is Zhou Huai'an's lover, but unfortunately died in the end, Zhen Zidan is really a bit of a villain when he dresses up, and several people stand together, It's easy to remind Wang Zichuan of the movie he watched.

During the Tianshun period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Shaoqin, the great eunuch of Dongchang, framed Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the military department, to death, and used the exile of his children as bait to lure out Yang Yuxuan's subordinate Zhou Huai'an, in a vain attempt to wipe out his old department. Qiu Moyan, a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes, was entrusted by her lover Zhou Huai'an, and after a bloody battle, she rescued the children of the Yang family and met at the Longmen Inn at the border of the desert. Unexpectedly, the three major stalls of the East Factory in disguise led the masters to follow.

The proprietress who makes a living by running a black shop, Jin Jiyu, is affectionate and secretly has feelings for Zhou Huai'an, but unfortunately Zhou Huai'an has long belonged to Qiu Moyan. At this time, Cao Shaoqin's brigade was coming to the Longmen Inn, and there were Dongchang masters entangled in every way in the store, coupled with the unpredictable desert weather, Zhou Huaian and others couldn't get out. Zhou Huai'an found out that there was a secret passage out of the inn, in order to save the orphans of the Yang family, Zhou Huai'an did not hesitate to find out the location of the secret passage on the condition of marrying Jin Jiyu, and made an appointment with Qiu Moyan and others to escape from the secret passage on the wedding night. Unexpectedly, Cao Shaoqin's brigade had already arrived.

Between thousands of miles of yellow sand, when life, death, love, and hate were intertwined, the three of them united as one and joined forces to kill the villains, but Qiu Moyan also sacrificed because of this, Zhou Huai'an decided to stay away from the Central Plains, and the gold inlaid jade burned down the inn with fire and followed Zhou Huai'an.

The plot of the movie is very simple, but it is very difficult to shoot, it is the first time for Hong Kong to make a martial arts film like Xu Ke, "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and "Jingwu Hero" are all changes in costumes and props, unlike "New Dragon Gate Inn" that completely opens up a trend, a martial arts film Wang Zichuan will not care so much, but a movie like "New Dragon Gate Inn", no matter how much it costs, he feels that it is worth it, after a movie is released, a theme will come alive.

After shooting a few shots, Xu Ke felt uncomfortable, Wang Zichuan stayed in the crew, like his wife was the emperor, pressing him, the emperor, as for the director, he was doing the work of the scene.

Wang Zichuan did not interfere with the filming of the crew, he was looking at the script, and suddenly frowned.

"Xu Ke, come here!"

"Mr. Wang, what is the other thing?"

Xu Ke is impatient in his heart, this Wang always wants to pretend to be an outsider again, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

Wang Zichuan said: "Do you really care about movies!" I didn't even understand the history, so I was in a hurry to start the camera and go back to take a good look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to make people laugh when I took it! ”

"Mr. Wang? Where does this begin?"

"Look at the lines of Dongchang Factory in the script, it's bullshit!" When Wang Zichuan was in school, he had the best grades in history, and he could see the loopholes in Xu Ke's script at a glance.

"Mr. Wang, I have read more than one million words of Dongchang information, there should be no loopholes, are you mistaken?"

Xu Ke felt very wronged, and during the preparation for filming, he researched the relevant history, especially the Ming Dynasty spy agency involved in the film, Dongchang, and conducted in-depth research.

As a detective agency led by eunuchs, the information obtained by Dongchang could be reported directly to the emperor. Its scope of investigation is very wide, the imperial court will try major cases, Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi tortures repeat offenders, and Dongchang has to send people to hear the trial; The various yamen of the imperial court had Dongchang personnel to monitor the officials' every move; Some important yamen's documents, such as various side newspapers and pond newspapers of the Ministry of War, must be inspected by the East Factory; Even the daily life of ordinary people, the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, is also within the scope of Dongchang's reconnaissance. The leader of the East Factory is called the "Eunuch of the East Factory", also known as the "Owner of the Factory" or "Governor of the Factory", and is the second person among the eunuchs after the eunuch of the Celebrant Seal. In addition, there is one thousand households and one hundred households in the east factory, and there are several foremen, foremen and secretaries. The specific person in charge of the investigation work is the chief and the officer, the commander is also called the "stall head", and the officer is commonly known as the "fanzi".

"Am I mistaken? What position is Zhou Huai'an in the script? Wang Zichuan sneered, no matter how confused he was, he also understood that the position of the head of the 800,000 forbidden army would never appear in the Ming Dynasty!

Xu Ke thought for a while and replied: "The head of the 800,000 forbidden army is the position of Lin Chong, a good man in Liangshan. ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "You also know Lin Chong! He is from the Song Dynasty, what you are afraid of is the Ming Dynasty, which is hundreds of years apart! How could the Ming Dynasty set up the position of the head of the forbidden army! Also 800,000? The elite army of the Ming Dynasty was deployed in the nine border towns, and Zhou Huai'an's position was replaced by the general army of the border town! (To be continued......)
