Chapter 702: Song and Dance Film?!
After experiencing this episode, Xu Guanwu and Liu Tianci and others entered the building, "Fa Zai, have Leslie and Miss Zhong arrived?" He asked as he walked.
"It's already here, and Ming Siri is instructing them to practice." Liu Tianci said with a smile, "Actually, why do you want to run for this little thing?" ”
"Hehe, "Across the Seas" is a blockbuster that Xu's focuses on investing in this year, which is related to the future development of the three potential superstars, and there is no room for the slightest carelessness." Xu Guanwu smiled, "What's more, I don't have anything to do now, just come over and see how they practice." ”
Liu Tianci nodded, accompanied Xu Guanwu to the dance studio, and saw that in the melodious music, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong danced under the drive of their dance partners.
Waltz, they've been exposed to a little bit of fur before, but it's okay to jump in private, but if you want to be on the big screen, it's a little bit not enough to watch.
Therefore, in order to film this time, the three of them must take a little time to study, and strive to cultivate as soon as possible to become a master of dance, so that they can show their skills in the movie.
And Liu Zhaomingming's SIR dance skills are first-class in Hong Kong, and it is perfect to train the three of them. After Xu Guanwu and Liu Tianci arrived, they did not push the door in for the time being. Instead, he stood in front of the window and looked inside, and saw that these three people were dancing like each other, especially this serious energy, and he did not regard himself as a big star, but as a student, which made Xu Guanwu very appreciative.
It's no wonder that people like Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, and Zhong Chuhong have been popular for so long. Just look at this serious energy. There are a lot of artists in Hong Kong who have great potential. After becoming popular, it began to swell. I only know how to eat, drink, and squander my youth, or I am busy fishing Kaizi and falling in love, and I don't focus on my career at all. In the end, it was mostly a waste, and time and talent were wasted.
Standing outside and watching for more than three minutes, until the music stopped and Ming Sir pointed out their shortcomings one by one, Xu Guanwu and Liu Tianci pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Xu Guanwu's arrival, Zhou Yanfa and the three of them couldn't help but be a little excited. "Mr. Xu, good!" Zhou Yanfa took the lead and shouted with a smile.
"Hello, hello." Xu Guanwu smiled and came to Liu Zhaoming, "Ming SIR, hello." How's it going, they're okay with their practice, right? ”
Liu Zhaoming smiled and shook hands with Xu Guanwu, "No, I ran a dance class and taught so many students." Hair Boy, Leslie and Michelle are the most gifted I've ever met. I am confident that I can train them to become first-class dancers. ”
"Good. Then I'll see. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, then turned his head to Zhou Yanfa and the others, "The three of you work hard, you have all heard what Ming Sir said, you must study hard." ”
"We see, Mr. Xu." Zhou Yanfa took the lead and said with a smile.
"Well, Fa Tsai, you want to waltz in a wheelchair, the difficulty is quite large, whether you can dance it well depends on your efforts." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will practice well." Zhou Yunfa nodded and said, "I promise that I won't let you down." ”
"Waltzing in a wheelchair, to be honest, I was really surprised when I saw this idea for the first time." Liu Zhaoming said with a smile, "This kind of peerless good bridge can be written by Mr. Xu, which is really admirable." If more than ten years ago, those song and dance film directors in Hong Kong also had Mr. Xu's mind, I am afraid that song and dance films would not have declined so much. ”
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Liu Zhaoming, "Ming SIR doesn't have to be sad, the so-called trends are actually rotating, maybe song and dance films will usher in glory again in ten years?" ”
"What Mr. Xu is saying is that it seems that "Weekend Night Mania", which was released in the United States the year before last, didn't it achieve a high box office?" Liu Zhaoming smiled, "It's a pity that there is no company in Hong Kong that is willing to shoot this kind of work." ”
"The reason why "Weekend Night Mania" is so popular, in addition to the relationship between disco dance, is actually quite charming in terms of plot." Xu Guanwu smiled, "It reflects the values of modern young people, their preferences, their lives, and their love...... These are all things that previous song and dance films did not pay attention to. If Hong Kong wants to remake song and dance films now, then it must also be repackaged. ”
"What Mr. Xu said is extremely true." Liu Zhaoming couldn't help but nod frequently when he heard this.
Liu Tianci smiled and said, "Stanley, listening to your tone, it seems that you already have a plan to shoot a song and dance film?" ”
"That's not it, but I just have some ideas when I hear Ming Siri mention it." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, he thought of the "Youth Musical" series of movies launched by Disney in the new century, as well as the popular American drama "Glee", etc., which have achieved very good box office and ratings. Because of this, it proves that song and dance films are not outdated, and if they are filmed well, they will also be watched.
"Mr. Xu, since you have an idea, you might as well talk about it. I really wanted to make a musical and dance film. Liu Zhaoming said with a smile, although he is now making movies, making TV series, teaching and running schools, he is very busy and has a very good income, but deep in his heart, he still retains his love for dance.
He has always wanted to revive the glory of song and dance films in the 60s and 70s, but unfortunately no film company is willing to support it, which makes Liu Zhaoming feel very helpless. Seeing that Xu Guanwu seemed to be a little interested now, he couldn't help but pout.
Xu Guanwu smiled, "I just thought of a little fur, so I won't show it." Later, I'll take it out for everyone's reference. ”
Liu Zhaoming couldn't help but feel lost when he heard him say this, "Mr. Xu, I always think that song and dance films are still very promising, there are so many people in Hong Kong who like to sing and dance, if the song and dance films are made well, they will definitely watch them." ”
Xu Guanwu nodded, "What you said is not bad, in fact, movies of any theme may be popular, the key is to see if the quality of the movie itself is not passable." ”
Horror films, literary films, and science fiction films have all suffered a box office waterloo in Hong Kong, and are considered to be a pure waste of investment. At that time, Shaw Brothers' "Seven Golden Corpses", which had a huge investment, failed at the box office, so that no one in Hong Kong dared to touch the zombie theme within ten years. But it was expected that no one would be optimistic about "Mr. Zombie" in advance. However, it achieved a box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. And because of this, it has led to a zombie craze.
Before the filming of "New Love" started. No one is optimistic about this literary film, but "New Love" won a box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is higher than the box office of Cheng Long's "City Hunter" and "Serious Crime Team", Li Lianjie's "Fang Shiyu" and "Huang Feihong 3: The Lion King".
Not to mention science fiction films, Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Tire" invested more than 10 million yuan, and specially hired an American special effects company that had filmed "Star Wars" to be responsible for the production of special effects, but the box office was only more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and it was directly lost to grandma's house. In the next ten years, almost no one in Hong Kong will dare to touch a movie with a similar theme.
But a sci-fi blockbuster "Jurassic Park" in the 90s really amazed Hong Kong audiences. The box office soared directly to 60 million Hong Kong dollars. completely suppressed Hong Kong's local films. Among the top 10 Hong Kong movies at the box office, science fiction films account for seven, and the remaining three are "Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows (Part II)", "Toy Story 3" and "Titanic". It can be seen that science fiction films are not without a market in Hong Kong, but it is a pity that Hong Kong filmmakers have ignored this theme over the years.
Xu Guanwu is bent on prospering Hong Kong films, and now Liu Zhaoming proposes to make song and dance films, if it can trigger a wave of song and dance films in Hong Kong, then the themes of Hong Kong films will be more diversified, which is a thing worth considering.
"I'll go back and think about it, and you can rest assured." Xu Guanwu said to Liu Zhaoming with a smile.
……
After visiting Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong's dance practice. Xu Guanwu said goodbye and prepared to go home first. Liu Tianci and others hurriedly sent him out. saw Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei also walked out of the examination room. When the two saw Xu Guanwu, they hurriedly greeted each other again.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "How did you two do in the exam?" ”
"I think it's very good, I will definitely be admitted." Zhou Xingchi said very confidently, but Liang Chaowei on the side just smiled, as if he was not very confident.
Xu Guanwu smiled, watched Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei leave, and then asked the teacher in charge of the exam, "How are the two of them performing, and do they have any potential?" ”
"That Liang Chaowei is not bad, I can see that he has a lot of potential." A teacher in charge of the inspection commented, "However, this Zhou Xingchi is a little unqualified, he basically has no advantages in appearance, his voice is also sharp and thin, not very good, his body is always low and a little hunchbacked, and his temperament is a little sloppy, and he is still good enough to play a gangster or a bad student, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted to a slightly more serious role." ”
Xu Guanwu smiled, it is true that Zhou Xingchi did not seem to have been very successful in the wireless artist training class that year, he took the exam three times, and finally entered the night class of the training class under the strong recommendation of Qi Meizhen.
In the 80s, the stars launched by TVB, such as Zhou Yanfa, Tang Zhenye, Liang Chaowei, Huang Rihua, Liu Dehua, Miao Qiaowei, Lu Liangwei and other male stars, are all handsome and handsome characters who can be called beautiful men, and even now they are still irresistible charm. But Zhou Xingchi is honest, his appearance is indeed not dominant, and it is a bit reluctant to say that he is handsome, but he is not ugly like Xu Guanying, Wu Yaohan, Cen Jianxun, etc.
If the appearance is not dominant, if the temperament is good enough, it is actually not bad. It seems that Liang Jiahui and Ren Dawei are not traditional beautiful men, but they have excellent temperament. Liang Jiahui's temperament is changeable, melancholy, domineering, domineering, and obscene men can all act like a. Ren Dawei's sexy and mysterious temperament like a rose in the dark night is also very charming.
And Zhou Xingchi is honest, his temperament is indeed a little worse, because his parents may have divorced at an early age and grew up at the bottom of society, which makes him feel like a little hooligan in Temple Street. And he may be used to being teased because he was poor since he was a child, which makes him always a little unconfident when facing outsiders, which makes him even more temperamental.
In comparison, Liang Chaowei, who came to apply for the exam with him, was handsome, elegant and elegant, like a beautiful son, which made the teacher appreciate him very much, and he had already determined him early. And Zhou Xingchi is too far behind in comparison, if Xu Guanwu hadn't specially ordered him to investigate him carefully, it is estimated that Zhou Xingchi would have been eliminated just by looking at his appearance.
"Then he doesn't have any merit?" After listening to the teacher's report, Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"Well, if the only merit is to say that this person seems to be quite positive, he should be able to endure hardships." The teacher thought about it for a moment.
Xu Guanwu nodded, Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei entered the training class in the same year, Liang Chaowei began to play the main role less than half a year after graduation, but Zhou Xingchi has been playing tricks, and he has to be scolded by the director if he wants to add a little more action. If it weren't for the desire to become famous, I'm afraid I would have quit because of my unbalanced heart.
"Since he has the desire to perform, let's give him a chance, and go back and inform him to come back and try again." Xu Guanwu thought for a while. (To be continued......)
