On the U day of the month, "Killer Leon", which was released in Hong Kong for five weeks, was finally painted for 160,000 Hong Kong dollars, ending its month-long glory.

Although they had high hopes for this movie before, the fire ignited by "Killer Leon" really made Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya widen their eyes.

"At the end of the year, the biggest box office dark horse appeared, "Killer Leon" was applauded, and the wealthy rebel son became one of the best-selling directors in Hong Kong" - "Cheng Pao"

""Killer Leon" achieves silence 'Lyon, whose value has skyrocketed several times in just one month, and some filmmakers have asked for millions to invite Xu Jinjiang to star in a new film. In order to stay in Xu Jinjiang, Jiahe offered a first-line contract to sign "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers 4"" - "Oriental Daily".

"The neglected superstar, actor Liang Jiahui's acting skills have been praised by the British media for his sick and evil actor performance, or he will take off the confusion of 'Zhou Yanfa's shadow" - "Sing Tao Daily"

"Selling Japanese distribution rights in a low-key manner, there is news that New Asia has reached a consensus with Japanese film giant Kadokawa Pictures Co., Ltd. to sell the film of "Killer Leon" for 80 million yen" - Hong Kong Economic Journal

The media did not end its attention because of the painting of "Killer Leon", on the contrary, when the box office of "Killer Leon" finally came out, most of the media in Hong Kong who were attracted by Yongsheng's "God of Gamblers" turned some of their attention again. There are too many topics about New Asia's film, which was released at the end of this year, not only because it was the first film of New Asia, the hottest film company in Hong Kong this year, to gross more than 30 million pens, but also because of its unexpected success in the United Kingdom, and beat "Police Story" to refresh the highest box office of Hong Kong films in the United Kingdom.

At the same time, its director and screenwriter are the same person, and this person is the leading topic figure in the Hong Kong film industry or the entire entertainment industry, and is recognized as the rebel and wealthy rebel Lin Xiaozhi. What he does, every move is a huge controversy and topic, so naturally it is not bad to pay attention to.

"Killer Leon" has also caused a huge sensation in the Hong Kong film industry.

In addition to the more than 15 million funds that have been invested, in order to achieve a better publicity effect, New Asia has allocated nearly 7 million Hong Kong dollars for the publicity of "Killer Leon".

As the most professional film journal in Hong Kong, "Film Fortnightly" is most interested in the movie "Killer Leon", and at the same time has studied him the most: "...... Since a few years ago, some people in the industry have pointed out that there is a huge short-term in Hong Kong films, and we attach too much importance to the importance of stars, directors and investment in a film, and have always neglected to pay attention to the most important part of the film, that is, the script.

Some people look down on the script, thinking that as long as there are stars and a good director with huge investment, no matter how bad the script is, it can make a good movie. I don't know how many filmmakers in Hong Kong will have this idea, but every year, a large number of superstar-studded, famous directors direct, and millions of dollars of film box office hit the streets, which can be summed up in just one sentence, the Hong Kong film industry has not yet formed a rational investment.

Some people refute that many people go to the movies because of the famous directors, and investors also pay more attention to which star participates than the movie itself. For a movie, I always believe that the script is the most important, the foundation, and the decisive factor. With a good script, you may not be able to make a good movie; But if you don't have a good script, you can't make a good movie.

This year, three of the most high-profile films in Hong Kong with an investment of more than 10 million yuan were released, namely Golden Harvest's "Miracle", Xu Ke's "True Colors of Heroes 3" and New Asia's "Killer Leon". Golden Harvest's "Miracle" Cheng Long directed and acted, the script came from Hong Kong screenwriter Wong Bingyao, and there was a golden pen Deng Jingsheng to make a second revision, and at the same time brought together Cheng Long, Mei Yanfang, an emperor and a queen, Wu Ma, Lou Nanguang, Dong Bi, Luo Lie and many other first- and second-tier well-known artists, the film investment is the largest, the filming cycle is the longest, and it took two months to be released before temporarily winning this year's box office champion with more than 34 million Hong Kong dollars. Although this is also due to the impact of the mainland storm, it is undeniable that "Miracle" is a collection of famous Hong Kong directors, stars, big investment, and good scripts.

Xu Ke's studio's "True Colors of Heroes 3" makes people sigh and regret, Xu Lao Wei should shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", he may be the best director in Hong Kong, the investment in this film is not much, and the star lineup is even more luxurious, but in the end it only sold more than 18UU more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which also proves that Xu Ke needs a good script, a real sequel script to "The True Colors of Heroes", not just to make money, he repeatedly uses this kind of shoddy stuff to fool the audience's expectations.

Let's talk about New Asia's "Killer Leon", I watched this movie four times before and after. Every time I go to see it, I feel very light, but every time I taste it, there is a feeling of unfinished business, which is the charm of a boutique or a classic movie, a kind of magic that can ignore time and culture, so that everyone is willing to pay for it to enter the theater and then enjoy it. "Killer Leon" has invested a lot, but there are also a few more movies than him this year, which proves that movies are not just investment to become popular.

It doesn't have any big stars, the only actor Liang Jiahui was boldly thrown by the director to play the bad guy, let a little girl who is said to have never acted and a big five and three rough, the previous movies are more like the bad guy Xu Jinjiang to play the leading role, I have to admit that if this kind of thing is done by any other famous director who has been famous for a long time, it will not be this choice, and even put myself in my shoes, if it were me, I think the choice I would make should be to let the actor Liang Jiahui play Leon, Transfer Xu Jinjiang to play the villain. But the director is not me, it's this young man named Lin Xiaozhi, a person who has only been in charge of the filming of a controversial movie before, and the biggest topic in the Hong Kong entertainment industry this year.

I used to doubt how this young man thought of letting Xu Jinjiang play an important role with a little girl who had never acted in a single scene, but threw an actor to play the opposite role. I couldn't figure it out, and after watching this movie again and again. Finally, when I read the inconspicuous Lin Xiaozhi in the screenwriter column at the beginning of the movie again, I realized.

Yes, only he, who is the screenwriter himself, can understand the soul of this movie. It needs a silent, tall, scruffy-looking silent killer with a scruffy beard, not a personable, handsome protagonist. This is the soul of this movie, and it is precisely because the script was set like this at the beginning that he faithfully fulfilled everything according to the script. So the actor went to play the opposite role, and the two people who were least likely to become the protagonists became the protagonists instead, so there was the movie "Killer Leon".

It is not so much Lin Xiaozhi who achieved the myth of "Killer Leon", but the script that made this myth.

Three big directors with different styles, dozens of actors, and first- and second-tier stars have gone head-to-head, and pK has seen the difference, and the script has won. I hope that Xu Laowei will sum up the lessons and start paying attention to the short feet of the script that he least values. You must know that a good script is the soul of a movie"

When this report came out with the new issue of "Film Fortnightly", it caused a huge sensation in the Hong Kong film circle. Countless people wanted to refute but found it difficult to find a place to refute, and when someone carefully saw the name of the person who wrote the report, an even greater sensation came.

Chen Baisheng, this is a name that is unfamiliar and familiar to countless people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. He is strange because I'm afraid not many people can really remember him, and he is familiar because almost everyone in the entertainment industry has heard his name. He is not only the founder and editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", but also one of the most authoritative Academy Awards promoters in Hong Kong.

He is Chen Baisheng, together with Hong Zuxing and Wu Siyuan, and is known as the man of the three heroes of the Academy Awards.

Chen Baisheng should be disappointed, there are very few people who read his article, maybe not a few people at all. Because after more people saw his name and recognized him, they instinctively listed him alongside the Academy Awards, speculating that the other articles that seemed to be very concerned about New Asia's "Killer Leon" and Lin Xiaozhi revealed in advance the results of the Academy Awards that will be announced in a few months? Lin Xiaozhi and his "Killer Leon" will be the big favorites at next year's Academy Awards?

As soon as the doubts came out, they were reprinted in the media.

"Oriental Daily": "The biggest favorite at the next year's Academy Awards is locked in advance, and the new Yalin Xiaozhi may win the Best Film and Best Director at the 9th Academy Awards with "Killer Leon"

"Favored by the senior management of the Academy Awards jury, New Asia may become the biggest dark horse of the next year's Academy Awards" - "Ming Pao"

"The attitude of "Film Fortnightly" arouses suspicion, and "Killer Leon" is favored by the top management of the Academy Awards jury, and may become the best screenplay at the 9th Academy Awards" - "Sing Tao Daily"

There is still one month left in 89 years, and now is the critical period for the jury of the Academy Awards to draft the nominations for the 9th Academy Awards. The media reported on this, and Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya quickly noticed that behind this increasingly crooked evil wind, there may be another initiator.

yes, there must be someone behind it. This time period is at the time when the list of Academy Award nominees is about to be released, and the perfect delivery of "Killer Leon" at the end of the year has made it successfully enter the eyes of the Academy Awards jury. And the movie "Killer Leon" is not only a hit in Hong Kong, but also just replaced Golden Harvest's "Police Story" and sold well in the UK. And unlike ordinary fight-and-kill movies, "Killer Leon" is also a movie with deep connotations. A sinking killer and a bad little girl who smokes on the verge of depravity rely on each other to redeem each other. With these literary and artistic pluses, as long as you are not a fool can guess, it will definitely become one of the favorites at the Academy Awards in a few months. Naturally, some people are unwilling, and will instigate those media who also only pursue topics and sales behind their backs, and influence the decision-making of the Academy Awards jury through various doubts and predictions.
