Chapter 406, a trick film without tricks

The celebration of "The Siege of October" was not held on Hong Kong Island.

It was the Hong Kong Island City where "October Siege" was filmed, that is, the 60 million replica of the old city built here in the magic capital, but at that time, both the industry and Internet public opinion were saying that this reproduction of Hong Kong Island City was a bit funny.

Even now, it has been on the hot search for a wave of hype.

And now, there is some hindsight on the Internet.

This "October Siege" is engaged in this Hong Kong Island City with an investment of 60 million.

It doesn't seem like a stupid idea.

This island city can not only be used for filming.

It can also be used to develop into a nostalgic scenic spot, or in such a good location as the magic capital.

At present, the land price here alone has returned to its original value, and if it is packaged and sold, there is even a profit.

Pattern.

Let everyone see it.

"October Siege" investors are looking ahead.

For this reason, Liu Zhenghui of Huaying has been praised a lot.

At the celebration feast.

The drink is red-faced and red-eared.

There are many invited directors, well-known actors, celebrities, and even people from other companies and departments of the same company, such as the foreign investment department next door...

"Mr. Liu congratulates."

"Get promoted and get rich."

"Congratulations, this time "October Siege" is a great success, when will we have half of your strategic vision, and the investment will not always be lost."

There are even people from the foreign investment department within Huaying to compliment them, wanting to 'change jobs'.

After all.

Follow a leader like Yan Lu.

How do you get mixed up?

The box office of "The New Fantastic Four" was even insulted to the point of being released early.

It's too low.

This box office.

The theater chain can't help it.

Remove him.

If you don't withdraw the gear, the white money will be lost.

It's different from the failure of "The New Fantastic Four".

"The Siege of October".

The box office of the release has been rising, it has been a great success, and the schedule has increased.

It has become the movie with the most average second views this year.

For this reason, the theater chain even extended the October siege to the next screening, which was extended for half a month.

Word-of-mouth and box office both exploded.

It can be said that this is the success of "October Siege".

"Celebrate, we got 300 million at the box office, this is pure box office income, not counting the Hong Kong Island City for investment, not counting the broadcast rights sold to the website...."Chen Desheng also smiled.

It can be said that the eyebrows are raised.

Who would dare to say that "October Siege" is a street project?

No one dares to say that!

At present, the October Siege is a fairly mature and commercially successful project.

More than just commercialization!

Chen Desheng also said.

"This time we submitted "October Siege" to the Academy Awards, and they accepted it."

"Congratulations, Director Chen."

"Congratulations."

Er Dong and Ye Xiao are also on the invitation list this time.

And the actors, directors, and producers are staggered.

The seat 'headhunter' took a fancy to which actor he saw, so he started!

Ye Xiao also saw a few, but he didn't talk about it immediately.

And Er Dong didn't see a few, and after drinking a little wine, he teased.

"When will the filming of your Ip Man begin?"

"Don't mention it, my "Ip Man" is really not that fast." Ye Xiao said helplessly: "The investment is relatively large, and the investors have some questions, so I want to ask Mr. Liu this time." ”

"How much do you want to invest in this movie?"

"One hundred million."

"Hmm...," Erdong thought for a moment, "it's a bit difficult. ”

Directors, like actors, also have a promotion model.

For example, if you have only shot a movie with a cost of 30 million, it is definitely not difficult for you to find an investment of 10 million, but it is a bit difficult for you to find an investment of 50 million.

Why did Chen Desheng spend ten years because of the project of "October Siege".

It's because his coffee seat is not enough to shoot a film at this cost.

This wave of "October Siege" made him climb to the sky in one step.

Ye Xiao also has this problem.

If you don't have enough coffee seats, you won't be able to receive such a big investment, and no one you can find will be able to receive such a big investment.

This is a very real problem.

Bole and confidants are not so easy to meet.

"Then it seems that my "Disciple" boots up much faster than yours." Erdong teased.

The Disciple as a plot-oriented movie.

The scale of investment is definitely not as good as that of action movies like "Ip Man".

There are also advantages to finding investment.

In addition, Er Dong himself is a director with good results, and it should not be difficult to find investment.

And a place for big investments.

It is also listed.

Please Andy Lau, you have to consume a lot of salary.

As for the one who played against Andy Lau....

At this time, Erdong raised his head.

"Ouch, he's coming."

....

At this moment, Li Qing was late.

"Well, everyone's looks very chic today."

"Hahaha, this time at the celebration banquet, everyone has maintained the appearance in the movie." Wang Xueyi teased: "This is not very handsome. ”

It's not that Li Qing wanted to be late, and when he came, he suddenly notified that he was going to change his clothes and makeup, and maintain his appearance in "October Siege".

Li Qing also changed to Liu Yubai's makeup as a matter of course.

The white-faced son is unmatched.

At this moment, for the guests here.

This look does not have the melancholy eyes in the movie, but it is Li Qing's usual sunny posture, but it is more handsome.

It can be called amazingly handsome.

Like Xie Fengting and Donnie Yen, their images highlight a dirty one.

Especially Xie Fengting...

But now he's indifferent.

It's very indifferent!

After all.

He has accepted the fact that Li Qing is more handsome than him!

It's calm now.

"Our great hero is here."

Liu Zhenghui squinted his eyes and said with a smile, which directly showed that Li Qing was the hero of "October Siege".

Huaying's big data analysis, as well as online public opinion, have all shown.

The crowd of moviegoers, some went to the action scene, and some went to the plot.

Generally speaking, those who are attracted by the plot watch it once, and those who are attracted by the action watch it again.

Li Qing and Donnie Yen are the leaders of action scenes, and they take over the fight scenes of the whole movie.

However, although the pinnacle performance of literary drama is Hu Jun and Wang Xueyi.

But Li Qing also has a performance!

And Li Qing's expressiveness is also at the top level in the movie.

Sum it up.

Both civil and military have a good comprehensive performance, so he will not become the most beautiful cub in the celebration banquet of the October siege.

"Come on, come on, all the directors want to get to know you."

...

Indeed, many directors want to know Li Qing.

Now Li Qing is on the fire.

Many golden supporting roles, and the configuration of supporting role No. 1 have found Li Qing.

"Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains" martial arts movie, male number three.

"I Was Born to Be Useful" is an urban struggle movie, playing the male number three with a gloomy temperament.

The period drama "Spring" also plays a supporting role.

It looks pretty hot.

Li Qing learned about the script, but he didn't have much that he was suitable for and wanted.

The scripts of these male No. 3 and supporting actors are also well treated, and they are directly given the green light, and they don't have to try to audition.

There are also some male number two roles for Li Qing to play, but they need to audition.

Li Qing is not entangled in the audition.

If the role and script are suitable, auditions are not an unacceptable thing - Li Qing has no baggage.

But for now, Li Qing really hasn't seen a suitable script.

At this time, Ye Xiao and Er Dong came.

"Hello, can we talk?"

Raising his head and seeing Ye Xiao and Er Dong, Li Qing said, "Director Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Hahaha, so are you, after these days, your acting skills and action scenes are more exquisite." Ye Xiao said with emotion: "The last time we collaborated was in "Slaying the Wolf", your action scenes and acting skills, this time I saw "October Siege". ”

Ye Xiao gave a thumbs up, recognizing Li Qing's acting skills and action scenes.

"People always have to improve." Li Qing smiled slightly.

Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Here, this is the director, there is a character I want to talk to you about."

"Okay."

Li Qing behaved very politely.

And Er Dong also looked at Li Qing and exclaimed: "Yes, this appearance is much sunnier than I imagined." ”

In fact, Erdong was a little surprised.

Li Qing in "October Siege" is handsome and has a somewhat melancholy temperament.

The eyes, the movements, are all stories with a story.

As a result, I saw a real person.

His appearance did surprise him a little.

The temperament is not that melancholy type either.

It is a more sunny type.

There is a sense of juvenility.

It turns out that the temperament in "October Siege" is all acted.

Good acting...

"Come, let's sit down first, I have a movie here, called "Disciple" Er Dong beckoned Li Qing to sit down.

Tell Li Qing about the theme of his movie.

Cops and gangster films.

The enduring theme of Hong Kong films.

It is also the theme that has created many actors and actresses on Hong Kong Island.

Natural black and white contradictions, good and evil confrontations, natural contradictions and conflicts.

The sense of substitution of the subject matter is unparalleled.

There's just a problem with that, after so many years.

After so many years of Hong Kong-made police and gangster films, all kinds of types, undercover, and conflicts have been filmed over and over again.

If it's good, it's a long-lasting theme, but if it's ugly, it's just that I've been filmed I don't know how many times.

The subject matter is a little messy.

already belongs to that kind of theme, there is a fixed movie-watching group, but the basic disk can no longer expand outward.

But for Li Qing, although this theme is old-fashioned, he has never been exposed to it, and he has never taken over the role of a police film.

It's still a little attractive, at this time, Li Qing was curious: "Director Er, can you let me see the script?" ”

"Of course." Er Dong smiled slightly: "This is the first version of the script. ”

"Hmm.... Thank you. ”

Li Qing took the script and opened it.

And when Li Qing opened the script, he found that the script was not as simple as it sounded.

Disciple.

A cop movie.

The main character's name is Ali, and he is an undercover police officer.

The villain is called Lin Kun, Brother Kun, and he is a trafficker of illegal drugs.

It will revolve around their story.

However, after Li Qing finished reading the script, he felt that it was.

This is not a cop movie.

It's a horror movie, a ghost movie.

A film that is not weird, but full of weirdness.

It's weird.

It's the white powder that makes you fall into the abyss.
