Chapter 164: Zhuang Wenqiang Looks at "Signal"

"An important breakthrough in cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan, Fenghua Film and Television Company is a model for all film and television production companies."

"The Ministry of Culture focuses on praising Fenghua Film and Television Company, and Fenghua drama represents the latest production level in the mainland."

Li Shengyao said that "Dashang Palace" is about to start, and it will be a large-scale inspirational drama for women in ancient costumes.

"'Signal' will premiere in two days, let's watch the new criminal investigation drama together."

"Shonan Satellite TV warmly celebrated the sale of "Full House of Romance" to Basi, saying that this is just the beginning.

"Fenghua Film and Television Company will continue to produce Portuguese-language TV dramas to help mainland film and television dramas go abroad."

The hottest news in the mainland these days is that Fenghua Film and Television Company sold five TV series in one go, and the buyer is still from Basi's Global TV Station, basically opening the mainland newspaper, or TV, you can see this news soon.

This night, in a five-star hotel suite in Yanjing.

A middle-aged man with glasses and a rather sven look at the newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Fenghua Film and Television Company is a stalk." ”

This middle-aged man is none other than director Zhuang Wenqiang from Hong Kong Island.

This time, he went north to Yanjing with Liu Dehua to visit the relevant leaders of China Film, hoping that they could help "Infernal Affairs" be released in the mainland as soon as possible.

The production of "Infernal Affairs" is already in its final stages.

Directors Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui are very satisfied, and they feel that this will be a cross-era police film.

At this time, the film broadcasting system of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the mainland had not yet been introduced, and Hong Kong and Taiwan films were still imported films, subject to the annual quota of imported films.

It is difficult for ordinary Hong Kong Island movies to enter the mainland, and it is even more difficult to premiere at about the same time as Hong Kong Island.

But if you're in a relationship, not necessarily.

For example, the comedy "Unparalleled in the World" at the beginning of this year, this film had the investment of Shangying, and it was released on Hong Kong Island within five days, and the mainland followed suit, and finally achieved a box office of 40 million.

This makes other Hong Kong Island filmmakers very envious.

However, "Unparalleled in the World" has Wang Fei, Zhao Yanzi, and the investment of Shanghai Film Studio, so it is natural to be taken care of.

And "Infernal Affairs" is different, this movie is completely Hong Kong Island capital.

Zhuang Wenqiang actually didn't have much confidence in this trip to the north, mainly because they had no connections in the mainland in the past

At this time, he looked at the newspaper and couldn't help but envy, if he had such a status as Li Shengyao, it should be smooth sailing and easily get the right to screen.

"Today's "Signal" premieres, take a look at his TV series."

Zhuang Wenqiang then turned on the TV and tuned to Gusu Satellite TV.

At this time, it was not yet 7:40, and the advertisement was playing.

Zhuang Wenqiang opened a can of beer, and then drank it while waiting.

Soon "Signal" began, and the theme song was not a song, but a piece of pure music that was fast-paced and very exciting to listen to.

Zhuang Wenqiang nodded, he felt that this title was not bad.

Soon after, the TV series officially began, first telling the plot of 1987, and then jumping to the year 2002.

One is to describe the young policeman in 02, the other is to tell about the situation when he was a child, and in addition, there is also the experience of the old policeman in 1987.

At first, it can be said that the three lines are crossed, but the arrangement of the three lines is reasonable and clear, and it will not make people confused.

Zhuang Wenqiang nodded, he felt that this director was very good, and the editing was very level.

And in the two different times, the picture is different, the picture of 2002 is brighter, and the picture of 1987 seems to be dyed with a layer of dusk sunset, looking at a warm and stale feeling.

The more Zhuang Wenqiang watched it, the more satisfied he became, and he felt that the director of this drama was very level.

"Is this the drama made by Li Shengyao of Fenghua Film and Television Company? Sure enough, it is very level, and young people are really unusual. ”

He didn't expect to come to the mainland and see such an excellent TV series.

Not to mention the plot, this editing, as well as the camera, are excellent.

He used to be on Hong Kong Island, and sometimes he would watch TVB dramas, and he felt that TVB TV dramas were decent and had no highlights.

The rhythm is especially bad.

TVB shoots criminal investigation dramas every year, and the biggest problem is not that the case is plagiarized and can't stand scrutiny, but that the rhythm is very bad.

TVB's criminal investigation dramas almost all have an inherent routine, the hero and heroine encounter some emotional problems, and the case happens at the same time, and the male protagonist solves the case and solves their emotional problems at the same time.

Almost every case involves the heroine.

No matter what profession the heroine is, whether it has anything to do with the case or not, it is to be pulled in, so that in one of their dramas, the plot of solving the case is often seventy percent, and thirty percent is an emotional drama.

Strange to say, TVB's TV dramas have almost no pure romance films, and there are no idol dramas that depict the feelings of men and women.

They like to embed love plots in business war dramas, criminal investigation dramas, or workplace dramas.

The result of this is that there is no distinction between priority and priority, and the plot drags on.

Many criminal investigation dramas remove the heroine's role, which is not affected at all.

But they just like to add a lot of emotional scenes to criminal investigation dramas.

Zhuang Wenqiang can't see this, for a film director like him, he wants every shot, every picture to contain a wealth of information.

And not just - "Did you have dinner?" ”

"No, I'll give it to you."

"Morning, Uncle Zhong."

"Morning, Laozi."

TVB likes this very much, from the time the hero and heroine get up in the morning to start filming, and greet a few uncles and aunts on the way, all the way to the workplace, you can grind here for four or five minutes.

But such a plot is meaningless.

In Lao Zhuang's eyes, such lines and pictures are useless.

At this time, he found that each picture of "Signal" had a wealth of information, and the two male protagonists and one female protagonist advanced very quickly in the first case.

The heroine likes the old policeman, but it is just a flashing shot, and she has an affectionate gaze after bringing it, and she does not elaborate on it.

In short, everything is in the service of the plot, that is, to create a tense and urgent atmosphere, which makes people suspense when they watch it, and they don't even want to go to the toilet, for fear of missing a certain detail.

The more Zhuang Wenqiang looked at it, the more surprised she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

In the Hong Kong Island film and television industry, a group of directors who make movies can shoot the plot so coherently and compactly, which is very rare.

Many Hong Kong Island police movies have a lot of messy and boring plots.

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't help but think, "At the level of this director, it's more than enough to make movies, I don't know if he wants to go to Hong Kong Island?" ”

"But...... He is a ...... of the mainland."

After all, Lao Zhuang is a Hong Kong Island director, and he is still a little estranged from mainland directors.

After all, there was little communication between everyone before, and he just knew that Lao Mouzi's picture was very beautiful, and Chen Shiren had a great temper.

"Forget it, Hong Kong Island is not good at movies now, and local directors have nothing to eat."
