Because Chen Xinjian himself is a high-level police officer, he has also cracked many cases. Therefore, they have a very clear understanding of the details of the case, the psychology of the bandits, and the police's methods of handling the case. Therefore, the script he arranged is very real, which is very in line with the psychology of the audience's curiosity, and the box office has always been very good.

This time, the script he wrote for director Zhang Guoming is called "Pointing Soldiers", which tells the story of a young man who is interested in applying for the police profession, who was eliminated during the physical examination because of cross-eyed, so he took revenge on the society, and was beaten to death by a fledgling policeman at the end of the year.

In the previous life, this film was called the pioneering work of New Wave cinema, but in fact, the real pioneering work was "Jumping Ashes". But because "Pointing Soldiers" is more famous, and it has successfully opened up urban police and bandit-themed movies, it has received higher praise.

After "Pointing Soldiers", there are "Public Servants" directed and acted by Li Xiuxian, Cheng Long's "Police Story" series, as well as "Royal Senior Sister", "Overlord Flower" and other derivative urban police and bandit action films. and Zhang Guoming's "Marginal Man" also opened up another derivative genre of police and bandit themes, undercover police detective films. thus set a precedent for later undercover detective films such as "Dragon and Tiger", "Truant Dragon" and "Infernal Affairs" series.

Xu Guanwu had indeed heard of the name of "Pointing Soldiers" before, and he also knew that the film had achieved great fame at that time, not only making Zhang Guoming, a new wave director, popular, but also another prodigy of the Hong Kong film industry, who has since set foot in the film industry. He is the musical giant of the Hong Kong film industry - Teddy Robin.

The drama "Pointing Soldiers" was produced by Teddy Robin, and he also went to his old friend for investment, and also made the soundtrack for this movie. The theme song of the same name composed by him is "Pointing Soldiers". "One walks, one chases. The soldiers and thieves seem to be assigned ...... early" is very much in line with the theme of the film. It also became a classic song that was sung for a while.

Teddy Robin then supervised films such as "The Story of Hu Yue" and "Mountain Dog", which are regarded as masterpieces of Hong Kong New Wave cinema, and Teddy Robin became one of the top figures in the Hong Kong film industry, and was subsequently recruited into the newly established New Arts City, becoming one of the Seven Monsters of the New Arts City in Megatron Xiangjiang.

It's just a pity that we can share hardships and hardships, but we can't share happiness, when the rise of New Art City, there is uneven profit distribution and different development concepts. The quarrels are increasing day by day, and the seven monsters of the new art city soon scattered. Zeng Zhiwei took refuge in Jiahe and was attached to Hong Jingbao's door; Teddy Robin is a friend left and right and doesn't want to offend, and the most reluctantly followed Zeng Zhiwei, who ran away from Golden Harvest, and pulled the comic king Huang Yulang to open a good friend film company together.

Xu Keshi Nansheng later co-opened a film studio, although he shot many acclaimed and popular films, but according to Xu Keyu's non-shocking and non-ending style, he still made less money and lost a lot. In particular, he also invested in a new VFX company, which is a money-burning machine. So after debuting for so many years, despite his high status in the film industry. But in terms of net worth, it is always inferior to Mai Jia, Ishida and others who left halfway.

……

And Chen Xinjian is the talent that Xu Guanwu has always wanted to recruit, not only because he is a good hand in screenwriting. And this person also has very good achievements in hosting, directing, producing, and acting, and can be regarded as an all-rounder in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

It's just that at present, Chen Xinjian has helped solve the Ma brothers' drug case, and it is now the time when the spring breeze is proud, so although he has the same love for movies, he still has no intention of resigning from his position as a senior superintendent and devoting himself to the film industry. Xu Guanwu could only express regret about this.

Zhang Guoming's "Pointing Soldiers" Xu Guanwu has made a final decision, and the rest is to find actors. Regarding who the director chooses as an actor, Xu Guanwu generally does not interfere. One is that he doesn't know how to make movies. Making a movie is a very professional job, and it is not something that anyone can shoot well.

For example, movies with the same theme, such as the "Best Partner" series, Xu Ke and Lin Lingdong were very good at the beginning, but the fifth part was handed over to Liu Jialiang to shoot. Throwing away the most attractive advantages of "Best Partner", it is no wonder that the box office failed after its release, which ruined the golden sign of "Best Partner".

Second, Xu Guanwu is also to respect the power of the director. Since you have chosen someone else to be the director, you must believe in them 100%. The so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspicious person is not used, this is the truth. The director has read the script thoroughly, and naturally knows how to choose the right role. It would be strange if investors stuck a lever horizontally, pointing east to west, and laymen leading insiders, and the movies made were good-looking.

Many bad domestic movies are because the investor is playing chess behind his back, and he must use this actor, who was recommended by the investor with money; It is necessary to add more fight plots, and the fight plots are the most eye-catching; A new film recently released has that plot, and we have to add a little bit to it......

The director was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, but now it has all been replaced by some laymen who pretend to be knowledgeable. As a result, as soon as the movie came out, the overwhelming scolding was all on the director, so that the director who only earned a little salary was wronged? !

……

In terms of kung fu movies, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and others still have no ideas. Last year, many kung fu comedy movies in the early Republic of China encountered Waterloo at the box office, which made several of them less courageous, so from this year onwards, everyone is thinking about asking for change, especially Hong Jingbao is the most active.

He is the leader of the Hong family class, and the box office decline of kung fu comedy in the early Republic of China directly affected the income of his brothers. Don't look at being someone else's big brother looks beautiful, in fact, being someone else's big brother is equivalent to putting a chariot on your body, and you have to be responsible for the life of your younger brother, otherwise you can't make money just by working, who else will recognize you as a big brother? !

Hong Jingbao now has a lot of brothers under him, usually the eldest brother is long, and the eldest brother is very affectionate. Therefore, Hong Jingbao naturally wants to work for their well-being and make money for them. When kung fu movies were popular before, this requirement was naturally easy to do. Whether it's following yourself to make a film, or following outsiders to make a film, there is always something to be earned.

But now the kung fu movies of the early Republic of China are not so popular, and they are about to reach a dead end. As a younger brother, you can't see it. But the big brother who is the leader. Naturally, we need to see this clearly. So it has to be before hitting the wall completely. It is better to find another way out as soon as possible.

So recently, Hong Jingbao has been discussing with his think tanks Huang Bingyao, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui and others, just to find another way out.

Huang Bingyao means to make urban action movies, because the current urban genre is in full swing. Hong Jingbao has a flexible head and agrees with Huang Bingyao's idea. However, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui and others have other opinions. In their opinion, kung fu films in the early Republic of China have come to an end before they have been, and judging from the fact that Cheng Long's "Young Master Long" still has a high box office, the market actually does not reject kung fu films in the early Republic of China. It's because some kung fu movies in the early Republic of China were too bad, so no one watched their own kung fu movies.

If you can make a high-investment, big-scene, high-quality kung fu film in the early Republic of China to set the record straight, it will surely win the hearts of many Hong Kong audiences. Besides, I am familiar with filming kung fu movies in the early Republic of China. Naturally, it is much easier than making urban action movies.

Listening to what the juniors and disciples said, Hong Jingbao also felt that it might not be unreasonable. How to shoot urban action movies, he has no idea at all now. The ironclad martial arts revenge class is definitely not suitable, the kung fu of the police and bandit gunfight class is too child's play, and the gangster-themed class is a choice, but whether it can work will have to be tested again. So Hong Jingbao has been worrying about how to do it recently.

The only thing Xu Guanwu can't rest assured about is Hong Jingbao and their faction, knowing that the box office of last year's kung fu films in the early Republic of China was not ideal, which made them dragon and tiger martial artists very hurt, so Xu Guanwu thought of a way out for them in advance.

So before going to the mainland. He brought Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao over together.

……

"Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

The three of them walked into Xu Guanwu's office together, and each found a seat and sat down.

"How. The three big stars, have you thought about what movie you want to make this year? Everyone else has turned in the script, and it's all been approved. Xu Guanwu patted the thick stack of scripts on the table and said.

"Mr. Xu, I think my script will be a few days late." Hong Jingbao smiled awkwardly.

"My script also needs to be carefully considered." Cheng Long also waved his hand. He has always been strict with the script, although the box office decline of last year's kung fu films in the early Republic of China did not affect him, but it still made Cheng Long vigilant. So this year's movie script wants to be more different, preferably completely different from the movies he played before.

Yuan Biao has always followed Hong Jingbao, so Xu Guanwu didn't ask him again.

"Zhilu said that you are very embarrassed now, because you are afraid that if the film does not sell well, it will not be good to give me an explanation. So now I'd rather take a break from work and not start making new films, right? Xu Guanwu asked with a smile. All three of them laughed.

"I'm glad you guys think so, and it's not in vain that I value you so much." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Okay, don't talk too much, this is the script I created for the three of you, you can take it and take a look first." ”

Xu Guanwu said and took out three scripts from the drawer and handed them to the three brothers of Hong Jingbao one by one.

When the three of them heard that Xu Guanwu had written a script for them, they all laughed happily. Although Xu Guanwu's scripts have not been produced much, each one is applauded and acclaimed. Not to mention the ghost horse comedy script created for the Xu brothers, just the "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" written for Cheng Long is very popular.

took over the script, and when the three of them looked at the names on the cover, they were stunned, "A Plan"?! Then the three of them opened the script suspiciously and read it carefully. Then they were all amused by this funny story.

"Mr. Xu, this script seems to have been written specifically for our senior brothers." Hong Jingbao couldn't help but say in surprise.

This script can be said to include all the characteristics of the three of them, Cheng Long's enthusiasm, Hong Jingbao's wittyness, and Yuan Biao's seriousness are all reflected in this movie. Moreover, there are many martial arts scenes, whether it is the guild hall to catch people, the midnight swimming to grab guns, the alley bicycle chase battle, and the most rearly Sanpao Island bandit battle, etc., it is a place where there is a lot of room to play. At the same time, the storyline is also very good, not just for the sake of fighting, but with goals and plots, which is very rare in kung fu movies.

Except for kung fu films produced by major film companies in Hong Kong, such as Hung Jiaban, Yuan Jiaban, and Liu Jiaban, there are kung fu teams that specialize in thinking tanks to help write scripts, and other small film companies generally do not pay attention to script creation. Usually the story is to spend a little money to ask the screenwriter to write a script, pay the down payment first, pay the second installment when filming, and then pay the final payment after the final release. Sometimes even the final payment is given to A, which makes the screenwriter suffer a heavy loss.

Since they treat screenwriters like this, it is naturally impossible for screenwriters to write scripts with heart. So it's generally a copy of the old routine, what the whole family destroys the door and practices martial arts to take revenge, and the road is uneven and causes trouble, etc. The martial arts scene is also deliberately arranged, fighting for the sake of fighting, and fighting every now and then. The story is not enough, and the martial arts are made up. (To be continued......)
