Arrive at the hotel prepared by the crew of "No. 1 in the World"...

A little lost, Shen Xudong lived in either the big suite that Chen Hao said, or a common suite...

Of course, the environment is good, but also quite big, there is a living room, bedroom, washroom, shower room, toilet...

A few also have 60 square meters, and equipped with a large balcony, opposite the Taihu Lake...

may be considering that Shen Xudong needs a quiet environment, so his room is in the most corner.

Clean up first.

He brought a large suitcase and a backpack with underwear and two sets of laundry, and by the way, a pair of shoes, a laptop and a Doraemon doll.

Inside the backpack are some snacks, headphones, MP3 and a few books...

When I came up, I asked that the hotel would open broadband, and there would be a network cable port in the guest room, and there would be a network cable for travelers to use.

Of course, in order to prevent the loss of the network cable, there is no network cable in the guest room, so it is generally collected at the front desk or floor staff and returned at the time of check-out.

Shen Xudong connected to the Internet cable and tried the Internet speed...

It can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

Fortunately, he doesn't plan to use the computer to download things, just send and receive emails!

After about half an hour, I finished cleaning up,

I was about to go to bed and lie down for a while, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

"Xudong, okay, no!"

“… Right away! ”

"We'll wait for you downstairs, let's go meet the director."

"Okay, five minutes!"

It was Zhuang Liqi who called him...

Shen Xudong quickly changed into clean clothes, tidied up his hair a little, and went downstairs directly...

……

Since the 80s of the last century, "costume martial arts" has become synonymous with Hong Kong dramas in the hearts of mainland audiences.

"Huo Yuanjia" is the first Hong Kong drama to be introduced to the mainland, and this drama has laid the introduction trend of Hong Kong dramas - biased towards martial arts dramas!

95 years later, works such as "Dragon Babu", "The Condor Heroes" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" continue to be popular in the mainland.

After 99 years, Hong Kong TV drama directors went north to develop, and ancient costumes and martial arts scenes were the first choice!

The first impression of mainland investors on these Hong Kong TV drama directors: he is filming Hong Kong dramas - he must be very good at shooting costume dramas and martial arts scenes.

Indeed, costume films are about rivers and lakes, and they are a world of martial arts. The director must have a strong belief in the existence of this world, so that you dare to use your imagination to realize it. Most of the TV drama directors in Hong Kong have been filming since they entered the industry, which is relatively easy.

Feng Baiyuan, the chief director invited by "No. 1 in the World", was born in Hong Kong TVB, and directed "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" (Tony Leung version) in his early years, and was later hired as a director in the Chinese drama group of Singapore National Television, and participated in dozens of Singapore costume, light comedy, local and suspense dramas, returned to Hong Kong in 89, and then ushered in his masterpiece "The Great Era" and "Intolerable Love"...

Judging by his resume, he is better at making fashion films, but... At this stage, there are no fashion films in the mainland TV drama market, and there is no room for him to play...

The reason why he agreed to the invitation of "No. 1 in the World" is mainly because there is nothing for him on the Tang side for the time being, and Li Guoli is filming "Dandelion", an urban youth romance drama.

Feng Baiyuan was very idle, so he simply led Huang Weiming and the makeup, lighting, and photography teams to pick up "No. 1 in the World"...

Cheng Xiaodong, no need to introduce, martial arts instructor...

He has a good relationship with Ah Mou, when Gong Li went south to develop, Ah Mou went to Hong Kong to accompany her for a period of time, and by the way filmed "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", the director is Cheng Xiaodong...

Feng Baiyuan and Cheng Xiaodong are old acquaintances.

When the two met, they chatted for a while, and waited for half an hour, Zhuang Liqi, Chen Hao, Shen Xudong and... Tang Yan is in!

Well, Tang Yan has basically confirmed that she will join Orange Sky, and Zhuang Liqi also gave her the role of Princess Lixiu...

Zhuang Liqi brought three people, basically telling the director team that these three people are the investors!

……

"Producer Zhuang!"

"Teacher Xiaodong, Teacher Feng, Teacher Huang..."

Zhuang Liqi greeted first, and then pulled Tang Yan and Shen Xudong to introduce: "This is Director Feng... This is Director Cheng, this is Director Huang..."

"Hello..."

Shen Xudong smiled and stretched out his hand...

Tang Yan also followed suit.

"This is our screenwriter Shen Xudong!"

Cheng Xiaodong looked Shen Xudong up and down: "... Is it Shen Xudong? ”

"Yes..."

"I've seen your "Phoenix Screening Room", which has a clip introducing director Cheng Gang..."

Cheng Gang is Cheng Xiaodong's father...

He was also one of the famous directors of the Shaw Brothers back then...

is known as a tyrannical director, about his evaluation, "Screening Room" excerpted a piece of "Zhang Che's Memoirs and Film Criticism" 'Among the directors of my generation, Cheng Gang is undoubtedly a successful and good director, and his reputation is inferior to Li Hanxiang and me, just because of the small number of works. Li Hanxiang and I are honestly "licensed" in our works, but he definitely doesn't. He has very high requirements for people and himself, and he must do his job well.

Xiaodong (Cheng Xiaodong) was often beaten by him when he was young, and he was punished for kneeling in public as his martial arts instructor, and his godson has reached an unreasonable level. He was often dissatisfied with the reshoot when he filmed, and the editing was repeatedly changed after the whole film was filmed.

Run Run Shaw's so-called "finding an hour in tens of thousands of feet of negatives" was so that he was not allowed to enter the editing room before he could finally "deliver". ’

Including Li Hanxiang, the head of the gossip faction, also wrote in the memoir "Thirty Years from the Beginning" that "Fourteen Heroes" was filmed for almost two years, and the more everyone filmed, the more frustrated they became, and the more they filmed, the more listless they became, and finally refused to come after receiving the notice, either because something was wrong or sick.

Cheng Gang couldn't bear it anymore one day, and scolded his son Xiaodong fiercely in front of everyone, Xiaodong knelt down and begged for mercy, he still didn't end it, and finally kicked Xiaodong down with his feet, picked up Yang Zongbao's red tassel gun and shook the gun flower, and stabbed the gun when he threw the gun. Everyone rushed up and helped Xiaodong up from the ground, and you pleaded for the child with a word...'

Hu Jinquan also commented on the sentence 'Cheng Xiaodong has a bad relationship with his father Cheng Gang (laughs)'...

“… I pieced it together from news reports and memoirs left by filmmakers... If you are offended..."

Shen Xudong's "Screening Room" rarely carries private goods, especially when it comes to things from the sixties and seventies, and basically does not say personal opinions...

Cheng Xiaodong waved his hand: "No, no, I think you did a great job in that issue!" ”

“… Thank you! ”

Shen Xudong thanked him, and then Cheng Chen Xiaodong chatted with Zhuang Liqi...

Feng Baiyuan and Huang Weiming also joined in...

I feel that these Hong Kong filmmakers and TV people... I'm not as arrogant as I thought!

It's all about the behind-the-scenes stories of some film and television works.

Zhuang Liqi knew these people in 93...

By chance, in 93, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice on "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry Mechanism at Present", announcing 10 important decisions that have a far-reaching impact on China's film industry, including, in principle, opening up film ticket prices, reducing the number of personnel, actively participating in cable TV production, strengthening the production of videotapes and VCDs, etc., and gradually abolishing the unified purchase and sales policy, etc.

Among them, the most far-reaching impact is the abolition of unified purchase and sales - domestic feature films are no longer distributed by China Film Company, but are distributed and screened directly by the film studios themselves to the film market.

Under this policy of reform and opening up of the film industry, the biggest and most direct impact on the mainland film industry is that it has set off a wave of in-depth cooperation between mainland film studios and Hong Kong film companies.

"The Burning of Red Lotus Temple" produced by Shanghai Film Studio and Golden Harvest, including "New Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Tong Ma", "Six-Fingered Qin Demon" and the like are all co-produced by Shanghai Film Studio...

It was at that time that Zhuang Liqi had a preliminary impression of these Hong Kong filmmakers...

Chen Hao suddenly interjected: "This cooperation model should be very good, why didn't it continue?" ”

Zhuang Liqi was about to answer, when she saw Shen Xudong who was speechless, so she said, "... Xudong, you come on! ”
