However, the "Royal Sister's Sea Wolf" is just a police film of average quality, although the action scenes are transferred from the common urban streets to the freighters in the vast sea, but in fact, it does not give full play to the unique terrain characteristics of ships. The chase scene in the cabin is no different from the common stairway chase scene, and the final battle between the two factions on the deck is actually no different from the common cargo battle.

In addition, the theme is old-fashioned, and the shooting techniques are quite old-fashioned, and the shaping of both the positive and negative factions has not been successful, so although there are powerful actors such as Ren Dawei and Xu Shaoqiang to join, the film did not cause much repercussions, and it is just an average quality work among many police and gangster films in Hong Kong.

And Zhang Jian's "Sea Wolf" fully takes into account the characteristics of the closed and complex terrain of the ship, and the setting of the male protagonist is also the special forces of South Vietnam before, so killing is about killing with one hit, and there are very few fighting scenes that take more than ten minutes at every turn. Like the vengeful ghost on a ship, he vows to pay for his life to these murderers.

At the same time, the style of this film is also darker, the endless high seas, desperate refugees, calling out the heavens and the earth, and finally being saved only to get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, without the slightest hope. And family, friends, and fellow travelers have been robbed, tortured and killed, and even the gold teeth in their mouths have been pulled out, and the income is only tens of thousands of dollars, which is like snatching food from a beggar's bowl.

The tyranny of the murderer contrasts with the helplessness of the hero. In their own family was slaughtered. Money. With no water, no food, and no water, and no food, and with his own injuries, how could he take revenge on these demons?

Director Zhang Jian has become more and more proficient in this kind of urban black X gang action movie since filming the trilogy of South Vietnamese refugees in "Male Thief and Female Singing", "Bad Life", and "Raptors Crossing the River". This time, "Sea Wolf", a biography of the South Vietnamese refugee trilogy, has been unanimously praised as soon as the script has just been taken out.

The seven-member group unanimously approved the film with such speed. The unanimity of opinion is also a new record.

Zhang Jian still chose Lu Liangwei as the starring role in the film "Sea Wolf", because the two of them have cooperated many times before, and they have cultivated a very good tacit understanding, just like Zhou Runfa is to Wu Yusen, and Zhou Xingchi is to Wang Jing, which are complementary to each other.

Lu Liang is a beautiful man, and his acting skills are very solid, and he is also an overseas Chinese in South Vietnam, and he is not difficult to shoot kung fu dramas when he is young and strong, so he is quite a suitable candidate. His previous starring roles in "Male Thief and Female Singing", "Bad Life" and "Raptors Across the River" have all been very blockbuster. is one of the most popular male stars in urban action movies now, no better than Cheng Long. Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, these kung fu superstars are poor.

And because he is tall and handsome, he is also very popular with young girls, especially the images he created on the screen that value love and righteousness, are brave and wise, and make him the most popular actor, which has caused a lot of peach news.

Xu Guanwu doesn't care too much about the actor's private life, after all, people also have their own freedom, and the company can't manage every place. In addition, the appropriate peach news will also maintain the exposure of the actors, so the company still maintains a blind eye to so many things caused by Lu Liangwei, as long as it is not too outrageous and does not violate the boundaries of the law, basically the company will not care how you mess around.

However, if you can't control it yourself, and there are scandals such as fighting and hurting people, or even Western poisoning, the company will not be able to protect it, and you will have to choose to hide it when the time comes, and it is impossible to hold on unconditionally. Fortunately, although Lu Liangwei is romantic, he still knows how to be measured, and he belongs to the kind that does not make big mistakes and keeps making small mistakes. Although the company often comes out to wipe his ass, it is not too outrageous.

……

In addition to Zhang Jian's "Sea Wolf", the Xu brothers will shoot a comedy called "The Rich World" this year, which tells the story of Xu Guanwen seeing that the stock market is booming, and people want to find a bright card, so they summoned Xu Guanjie, who is a first-class kung fu player, and Xu Guanying, a smuggler who only wants to have something to eat and a salary that can be exempted from talking, and the three of them went to major listed companies to install bugs, so as to eavesdrop on the board meetings of listed companies, so as to steal trade secrets and sell Ming cards.

During the period, they naturally saw all kinds of ugliness of listed companies, such as tampering with accounts, cheating minority shareholders, insider trading, etc., and Xu Guanwen's open cards were frequently successful, which also attracted the attention of the Black X Society, and at the same time, they also overheard the plan of a leather bag company to go public and cheat money, which also attracted the attention of Lao Qian Group.

Under the pursuit of people on both sides, the three brothers Xu Guanwen were embarrassed and made a series of jokes. However, in the end, Lao Qian Group and Black X Society were all arrested, and the three brothers Xu Guanwen also won the Hong Kong Good Citizen Award for their meritorious work in exposing crimes. As a result, Hui Kwun-ying also obtained a Hong Kong identity card.

The reason why Xu Guanwen wants to make this film is mainly because of the fire in the Hong Kong stock market in recent years. After the stock market crash in the past 73 years, Hong Kong's stock market has been extremely bleak, causing people to make a lot of noise, jumping off buildings, going crazy, going bankrupt, and liquidating, to name a few.

However, so many years have passed, and with the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the stock market has become hot again. People began to frantically speculate in stocks again, quite a good scar and forget the pain.

For such a group of people who have lost their due rationality in order to get rich, Xu Guanwen naturally sympathizes with them and hates them. And for those financial predators who have done a lot of evil in the stock market, and even the old groups who want to cheat money by taking advantage of the booming stock market, there is only hatred left.

That's why he thought of making such a movie, hoping that people who see this movie can be calm and calm, and also warn those financial predators who are acting recklessly in the stock market that they are not unannounced.

……

The big boss wants to make such a film, and naturally no one will not raise his hand to agree. However, Xu Guanwu still has a little idea of his own about the mainland smuggler played by Xu Guanying.

In the film. The mainland smuggler played by Xu Guanying is because he does not have an ID card. So you can only live by petty theft. After being the most hungry, he couldn't walk until he was taken in by Xu Guanwen.

There are many, many more mainland smugglers like this in Hong Kong, and because they don't have ID cards after smuggling in, they can't find serious jobs, so they can only work in the dark or make a living by fishing for the wrong people. Of course, under such circumstances, there will be many social problems, which will also cause dissatisfaction among Hong Kong citizens. And smugglers have also become the target of the Hong Kong police's severe crackdown.

The reason why Xu Guanwen wants to join the role of a smuggler is actually based on the fact that there are more and more smugglers in Hong Kong. Introduce social hot topics appropriately in comedy films. It is also a magic weapon to boost the box office and attract the attention of the public.

However, Xu Guanwu thought that it was a bit bad to write Xu Guanying as a smuggler who relied on petty theft to eat, and suggested that it be better to change it to an honest smuggler who worked as a black worker at the construction site, but was later driven out of the construction site by an unscrupulous boss. In this way, there is no doubt that the image of the smugglers will be much brighter, and it will be easier to arouse the sympathy of Hong Kong citizens.

Xu Guanwu did this to avoid blackening the smugglers in the mainland and embarrassing the people in the mainland. Xu Guanwu can't control how other companies shoot mainlanders, but in Xu's family, he doesn't want to shoot mainlanders who are not provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers, or Ah Can's cousin Tubaozi who doesn't understand anything.

After listening to the opinions of his second brother, Xu Guanwen also felt that such a change would improve Xu Guanying's image a lot, and it would not damage the story itself. I nodded in agreement.

……

Hsu then announced the start of filming of these four films and began to make a big fuss about public opinion. Warm up these four films in advance so that they can stay on the radar for a long time.

In addition to Xu's big moves this year, people like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are not idle, and they have also launched many projects. For example, Zeng Zhiwei of Golden Harvest started filming "Nongben Amorous", and he still took the comedy route of urban pickle girls.

In addition to the new martial arts movie "Butterfly Change" that will be launched this year, Wu Siyuan also has a "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" about South Vietnamese refugees, which is about two South Vietnamese refugees who have never known each other, because they fled to Hong Kong on the same fishing boat, and supported each other in the process of fleeing, so they formed a deep friendship and became brothers.

But because he came to Hong Kong without food and clothing, he was forced to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, and with the skills he had trained from the army before, he made a great name for the Hong Kong police's wits and bravery, but in the end, he fell apart because of a woman, and was swept away by the police in one fell swoop because of infighting.

This film follows Zhang Jian's South Vietnamese refugee trilogy series in terms of subject matter, and it also tells the story of South Vietnamese refugees, and it is also because of lack of food and clothing, and they take risks to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes. However, Wu Siyuan's drama also has a breakthrough, that is, the filming of the two brothers from scratch and the rapid establishment of the prefix are regarded as an innovation in the Black X Club-themed movie.

The Yuan family brothers are still the theme of kung fu in the early Republic of China, but this time the momentum is much smaller. The reason is that the Hong Jingbao brothers, who used to shoot kung fu comedies with them in the early Republic of China, have all gone to shoot "A Scheme", and the investment of up to five million US dollars is really scared to death.

The Yuan Jiaban brothers have filmed many dramas over the years, but each one costs more than one million Hong Kong dollars at most, compared with the three brothers Hong Jingbao, they can't even compare with a fraction of it, and now even if it is announced that a new film will start shooting, it has not attracted the attention of the media. Because they were all attracted by the news that "A Strategy" was completed and was about to be released in the United States.

……

Shaw Brothers also made frequent moves this year, in addition to funding Jiayi TV to hold a Miss Oriental beauty pageant to attract young talents to join, and also specially promoted the younger generation of directors, most of whom were young people promoted from Jiayi TV. Most of them have studied abroad and learned advanced film knowledge abroad. At the same time, I have been honing for a long time in TV and have a certain understanding of the needs of today's audiences, so it can be said that there is a lot of potential.

In addition to promoting newcomers, the old directors did not forget to let them continue to play their spare heat. It is said that director Li Hanxiang's filming task this year is five, and director Zhang Cheda has four films to shoot despite the lack of box office appeal. In addition, powerful directors such as character director Mu Dunfu and nervous director Sun Zhong also have tasks to complete this year.

When it comes to tasks, it is a reward and punishment scheme specially proposed by Shaw Brothers in order to improve revenue and stimulate the enthusiasm of employees. Each director will receive a certain number of tasks at the beginning of the year, and those who complete the tasks can get a certain reward, and those who fail to complete the tasks will have to deduct a part of their salary as compensation in addition to canceling the reward. And if the director can exceed the task, the reward is very rich. (To be continued......)
