Chapter 88: Hong Kong Filmmakers (4/4)

Recently, I have been in contact with Liu Yifei a little frequently...

Basically, she took the initiative to find Shen Xudong, in addition to Zhao Linger's character design in "Fairy Sword", she will also ask some if she has a girlfriend, such as 'Do you have a girlfriend', 'Why don't you find a girlfriend', 'What kind of women do men like' and so on...

Shen Xudong... Love to ignore it.

In addition to professional questions, those who follow it messily will reply when you think about it, and forget it if you can't think of it...

At the moment, he is only interested in the thighs.

But sometimes, if you suddenly want to shake a clever thing or something, you will send it to her.

In the era when there was no Weibo, no one appreciated the wit!

This picture was sent, and after a while, Liu Yifei's phone called, and she was angry and defended that 'wearing so much makeup is to show maturity', 'my upper lip is turned out'...

After she finished venting, Shen Xudong said: "It's really much better looking than Bai Xiuzhu!" ”

"Have you also watched "The Family of Gold Powder"?"

"Of course, Zhang Hatshui's masterpiece!"

"I thought you'd say because I went to see..."

"You're thinking too much... Most of the audience is chasing the drama because of Dong Jie! ”

“…”

She hung up...

How rude!

Shen Xudong simply continued to watch the drama...

……

In fact, "New Police Story" does not meet the rules of co-production!

There are regulations for co-productions: mainland leading actors must ensure the number and roles.

But at this time, the emperor doesn't care about it, and the world, including Long Wu, can't look down on the mainland...

Emperor thinks that if the mainland wants to develop co-productions, the policy must be relaxed.

Can't refuse the big star!

Therefore, projects such as "New Police Story", "Twin Thieves", "The Great Sage of Love" and so on, are mainly Hong Kong actors or Taiwanese actors, as for mainland actors, there are also them, but they are all small supporting roles...

"New Police Story" plays Sun Chun, who plays Wu Yanzu's father, as well as Yu Rongguang and Jiang Yi - these two don't know whether they have become Hong Kong citizens.

The key is that there are few plays, which do not meet the conditions of "starring" at all...

That's it, the middle shadow is still running over to cooperate...

Speechless, the rules set by the official themselves, and they don't abide by it?

But Han Shanping wants to make a blockbuster...

It should be in 2009, "Crazy Racing" will be released, and Ning Hao will be among the 100 million yuan director club...

Han Shanping has confidence...

Pulling it back, in fact, it is normal for Hong Kong filmmakers to not look down on the mainland people, after all, when they swept Southeast Asia, the mainland was still dominated by a bunch of art films...

However, last year's "Heroes" really scared them!

250 million box office!

It seems that the mainland market does have potential...

Chen Musheng is more pragmatic, a typical red pants background (starting from the grassroots), entered the industry in the 80s, joined the TV station as an assistant director, and got involved in movies in the 90s...

In 03, I went north to schedule films, "Two Heroes"!

It is claimed that the box office will "easily break through" 40 million yuan.

It's a pity that it didn't break 15 million in the end and ended with 13 million...

In fact, it's not bad, you must know that there are only eight Chinese films that broke 10 million at the box office in 03!

In the original time and space, Chen Musheng experienced several years of loss, trying to mix many new elements in the commercial action films he is good at, such as the comedy and comedy genre "Baby Project", "The True Colors of Men" starring young idols, and "City Alert" with magical elements... But personally, I think it's all a failure.

It wasn't until "Sweeping Drugs" including "Dangerous City" that it evoked a personal style...

"Dangerous City" is quite good, taking the outline of Fred Kinneman's "High Noon", sandwiching in the political metaphor of anti-power, in addition to shaping heroism, it also falls on the whipping of humanity after everyone is in danger.

It's a pity that I caught up with the years when Xiao Xianrou was at its peak, and when it was released, it was when "A Smile is Charming" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" were raging...

Until "Rage: A Serious Case", but that was a posthumous work...

Summary: A typical craftsman-type director, compared with To Qifeng and Tsui Hark, his personal style is not outstanding, and he has big problems when filming some emotional scenes.

However, when the script is in place, especially when filming the story that takes place in Hong Kong, the performance is relatively stable.

So, he loved "Keep Talking"...

met, first praised Shen Xudong's "Screening Room" for doing a good job, and by the way, praised "Zhu Xian" for selling well in Hong Kong, and then chatted about "Keep Talking" and asked him about the source of his creativity...

Shen Xudong replied: "I watched "Mobile Phone" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and then I thought that I usually receive a strange call, if a strange call is to ask for help, then what should I do..."

Chen Musheng sighed: "... It's amazing, we watch movies at most, see the story, look at the actors' performances, look at the director's level, but you can think of new stories... Much more powerful than the young people in Hong Kong! ”

Shen Xudong smiled: "I originally wanted to write a homicide case... But I don't think it's appropriate..."

"Why isn't it appropriate?"

"It's easy to step on the red line..."

Zhuang Liqi next to her explained: "The most feared thing about doing film and television in the mainland is censorship, once it has not passed the review..."

"I understand..."Chen Musheng glanced at Shen Xudong, and suddenly said: "We watch every episode of the "Screening Room" program you did... You don't seem to have mentioned me! ”

“…”

How to say it, the inventory of Hong Kong films made by "Screening Room", the directors mentioned are basically those big directors...

No matter what kind of inventory, Chen Musheng is not in the selection of Hong Kong's top ten directors...

"I want to know what level of director I belong to in the mainland?"

Zhuang Liqi interjected with a smile: "Of course, you are the best batch, you are the director who has worked with Cheng Long..."

Chen Musheng waved his hand: "Mr. Zhuang, I want to hear the views of young people!" ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "... Excellent and mature Hong Kong film director... Your style is very commercial, with car chases, explosion scenes, hand-to-hand combat, yes, especially explosions with glass flying... My favorite is Stormtroopers: Streets of Fury..."

"That's what I like the most...", smiling, Chen Musheng said: "No wonder you want to ask me to do "Keep Talking"... I took this film..."

This is no accident, if he doesn't want to take it, why did he come to BJ to meet Shen Xudong specifically?

"Actually, I came here this time to make another appointment..."

"Huh?"

Shen Xudong was a little surprised, "Keep Talking" can't satisfy you?

Chen Musheng explained: "It's not for me, it's for Brother Chenglong to make an appointment for him to make a book suitable for him, I should cooperate with Brother Chenglong next, but I don't have any good ideas..."

The idea of "Baby Project" was provided by Cheng Long...

Shen Xudong was a little entangled, not unexpectedly, but... Too much!

Hong Kong action movies, including most of the world's action movies, are the same, this is a martial arts film with a modern coat, it still tells the story of those who violate the ban with martial arts, evil does not suppress righteousness, love and righteousness are in the heart, and people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

All good Hong Kong-style action movies are presented with more information and attitude after the refreshing action scenes...

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong remembered two movies - "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Legend of the Wicked"...
