Chapter 12 Recruitment

Enjoy a hairy face...

Huang Baiming is talking about meeting on the surface, but in fact, it is a money transaction...

It's what pimping means.

Anything in the Hong Kong entertainment industry can be calculated with money!

If it's an accompaniment, it was arranged yesterday, so there's no need to emphasize it again...

Shen Xudong's principle: resolutely do not involve money transactions!

What about actresses (local chickens) in Hong Kong?

That's the bottom line.

So, categorically rejected Huang Baiming's proposal, and then... It is still recommended that Huang Ziheng write a script.

As for the role arrangement, let's talk about it at the end of the year, "Ip Man" is just a concept, and it is still early to be developed!

Donnie Yen still has "The Fuse" to be filmed.

After that, Huang Baiming talked about Xu Ke's "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" - this film is very bad, the box office and word of mouth have collapsed, and Huang Baiming has also stopped investing in Xu Ke since "Looking for People in the Deep Sea"!

Of course, now Huang Baiming still trusts Xu Ke very much.

The reason why Xu Ke filmed "Deep Sea Search" was actually to experiment with underwater shooting, and made up a ghost story, and the narrative copied "Mulholland Drive"...

Of course, the box office and word-of-mouth failed!

Known as Xu Ke's Waterloo...

Therefore, "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" is a big pit, knowing that it is a pit, how could Shen Xudong jump into it?

decisively rejected Huang Baiming's proposal for joint investment, and said by the way: "Unless Director Xu shoots martial arts, I will not invest in other genres!" ”

"Martial arts..."Huang Baiming waved his hand: "Hong Kong people have long stopped watching martial arts!" ”

"There is still a market for martial arts overseas... There are also many fans of martial arts movies in the mainland..."

Huang Baiming thought for a while: "I'll talk to him." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xudong said: "If Director Xu wants to shoot martial arts, I have a few scripts in my hand for him to try." ”

"Oh, ready-made scripts?"

"Yes..."

"Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Sword Rain Jianghu"...

If Xu Ke is willing to shoot, he should have a head.

……

At the end of the dinner, Shen Xudong and Huang Bin were about to walk back to the hotel directly, and bought two gossip magazines on the way, Shen Xudong saw the 'boycott of young model culture'...

couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Tsk, these Hong Kong entertainers are so boring, they actually criticized the young model culture!" ”

β€œβ€¦ Can't you criticize? ”

"Look who resisted... Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Qiusheng... have all filmed tertiary films, and now the pig's nose is inserted with garlic and pretending to be an elephant? Do you feel that you are a senior, and you can educate others with high morality? ”

Hearing this, Huang Bin nodded: "... Also, it's too double standard! ”

"There are many film and television companies in Hong Kong that specialize in tertiary films, to be precise, they specialize in shooting cyan films... It's very messy, they don't say this, but criticize the tender model, and they are really idle! ”

β€œβ€¦β€

Huang Bin didn't speak, he felt that Shen Xudong was dissatisfied with Hong Kong Entertainment...

Fortunately, Shen Xudong didn't continue, changing the topic: "I'll go to see Director Chen Musheng later, you don't have to go!" ”

"I'm not going?"

"Old friends chatting... You're tired these days, so go back and rest. ”

Shen Xudong said so, and Huang Bin couldn't say anything - he had to go to TVB tomorrow to talk about the sale of the broadcast rights of "The Best Family" and "Wulin Gaiden"...

Huang Bin is really here to work.

……

"Baby Project" is set for this year's National Day, and the filming has been completed...

Chen Musheng's next step is to help Media Asia make a pure action movie.

After all, he signed two drama contracts before, and "Three Forks" made Huanya lose a lot, and I hope that the next action movie can save a little.

In the original time and space, he took out "The True Colors of Men"...

"The True Colors of Men" is very clichΓ© in terms of plot.

In TVB's various dramas, you can piece together a few bridges at will, the action scenes are like martial arts films, completely ignoring gravity and the strength of human bones, all kinds of cornices and walls, all kinds of falls and can't hurt Xiaoqiang.

Tale... I can't help but analyze it in detail: since only a certain superintendent knew the escort route back then, why didn't anyone else doubt him?

Xie Tingfeng and Yu Wenle had no psychological burden when they killed the traitor superintendent, just like crushing an ant to death, but later remembered that they were police officers and couldn't kill Wu Jing?

What about logic?

But..."The fights in "The True Colors of Men" are too exciting, especially Wu Jing's natural health, windbreaker, sunglasses, sharp movements, fast and accurate...

It's a pity that this film is set in the wrong schedule in the original time and space, which made "Iron Triangle" pick up a bargain - it should be on the eleventh gear, not to mention the box office of 50 million!

In the summer file, together with "Fuse", I met "Harry Potter 5" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

However, Chen Musheng's appointment to meet Shen Xu Dongdong is mainly because he hasn't seen him for a long time, reminiscing about the old days and... wanted to ease the conflict between him and Du Qifeng.

β€œβ€¦ Director Chen, we are all making movies, where the movie is released, we should abide by the rules, you don't object to this, right? ”

"There's no room for relaxation?"

"Unlikely... At that time, the Hong Kong film industry forced Leung Jiahui, who had just won the actor, to set up a stall for the sake of the Taiwan market, and I heard that there were several big-name movie stars who were pointed at guns to make movies. But at that time, there was creative freedom in Hong Kong. Why is there no creative freedom now? If you rely on the mainland market for food, you should make some films that are acceptable to mainland audiences... If you don't have the ability to adapt to the environment, don't make a big fuss! I look down on him! ”

The objective reality is that the movie made by To Qifeng completely follows has no audience at all!

How good is "Underworld", how wonderful is "Tree Move", in fact, these movies are very average at the box office in Hong Kong, and the box office in other places is almost zero.

"Cinema has never been the domain of personal expression, and no one will participate in your "artistic pursuit" without money! The New Wave is also picking up European leftovers, and Hong Kong films rely on action movies to conquer Asia, which has little to do with Johnny To. ”

Chen Musheng nodded: "There are also police and gangster movies!" ”

Hong Kong has a natural advantage in making police movies, the special geographical environment, plus... The mainland can't shoot these themes: there can be no black police, no magic police, and no gangsters can run into the top of the police force to go undercover...

It naturally has the advantage of shooting police films.

Moreover, the dramatic conflict of police and gangster films is simple, and the characters are black and white. The action scenes are exciting and can easily make the audience get pleasure. A lot of elements can be kneaded in.

Shen Xudong: "Yes, gangster films, police films... I plan to continue to collaborate with Zheng Baorui on two police films, "Chaser" and "Blind Certificate"... When he finishes filming "Dog Bites Dog"..."

"Do you still cooperate with Zheng Baorui?"

β€œβ€¦ He is willing to cooperate and has a strong ability to execute scheduling... By the way, there is also a director named Lin Chaoxian, can you introduce me to him? ”

Chen Musheng nodded: "No problem, he's looking for a job recently!" ”

Lin Chaoxian... didn't catch up with the good times, the first movie was made in 1997, when the golden period of Hong Kong films had come to an end...

And he has been filming police and bandit themes.

Why look for a job?

Even his master Chen Jiashang has no work left...

β€œβ€¦ It's kind of like "Streets of Rage"..."

Shen Xudong looked at the script outline of "The True Colors of Men" and commented.

Chen Musheng nodded: "Police and bandit movies are all this routine..."
