Chapter 289: Action Director Hong Jinbao
It's August, and the weather is still hot.
In front of a building in the New Territories on Hong Kong Island, the crew of "Prison" is worshipping, and on the altar in front of them, there are not only pig's heads, fruits, but also a statue of Guan Gong.
Wang Fatzi's mouth was turning, he was reading words, and his expression was serious.
Behind him are Huo Siyan, Zhang Zhen, and a group of Hong Kong Island actors, including Hong Tianming, the son of Hong Kong bigwig Hong Jinbao.
Li Shengyao did not lean over, but stood far away.
When the firecrackers sounded, Wang Fatzi gave out red envelopes, and he just went over and took a red envelope, which was regarded as a lottery head.
Li Shengyao came this time, not to participate in the launching ceremony of "Yue, Prison", nor to care for Huo Siyan.
It's to meet one of Hong Kong Island's most outstanding action design masters, Hung Jinbao.
In his opinion, the biggest wealth of Hong Kong Island movies is several action design masters, such as Hong Jinbao, Zhen Bullet, Yuan Heping, among which Zhen Bullet and Yuan Heping have often designed actions for Hollywood movies in recent years.
Since "Punch, Dad" has a large number of boxing plots, it is natural to invite an excellent action director.
Yuan Heping was working as an action director in Feng Delun's "Jingwu Family" at this time.
And Donnie Yen served as an action director in "Seven Swords", and then Song Chengxian temporarily broke the appointment and did not play the Seven Swords, Donnie Yen will save the scene and play the senior brother of "Seven Swords".
There is no time for either of them, and Li Shengyao can only find Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao is naturally powerful, in Li Shengyao's previous life, Hong Jinbao won the Best Action Design Award at the Academy Awards six times.
The movements designed by Hong Jiaban are clean and neat, tough and real, fists are flesh-in-the-flesh, fast and sharp, and the visual impact is very strong.
With him as the action director of "Punch, Dad", he will definitely be able to play very well.
In order to express his sincerity, Li Shengyao specially told Wang Fatzi to leave a place for Hong Tianming among the main actors in "Yue, Prison".
Hong Jinbao is old, and now he is dedicated to helping Hong Tianming.
In the first half of this year, he took Hong Tianming to act in one or two movies, called "Hong Kong Island Kitchen God" and "Longwei Father and Son", he personally matched it, "Hong Kong Island Kitchen God" has been released, and the response has been mediocre.
"Long Wei Father and Son" has not yet been released, but Li Shengyao knows that it is also a movie without splashes.
Hong Tianming is said to have practiced martial arts since he was a child, but his overall temperament is very faced, without the ferocity of a martial arts master, his movements are not smooth, and his acting skills are average.
Not to mention that compared with top kung fu actors like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, they can't compare with Baoqiang.
Baoqiang's Feng Yuxiu is really amazing.
However, Hong Tianming may not have any star career, but it is much better than Prince Fang, at least Hong Jinbao does not have to worry about going to prison to visit his son.
In order to show sincerity, Li Shengyao asked Wang Fatzi to invite Hong Tianming to star in "Yue, Prison", and Hong Jinbao also agreed to come over to meet Li Shengyao.
It stands to reason that there is still an exchange of courtesies, and Hong Jinbao has nothing to do now anyway, so he should agree to Li Shengyao's invitation.
But it hasn't been realized yet, and it's hard to say now.
Li Shengyao was mainly worried that Hong Jinbao's body would not allow it.
Judging from Hong Jinbao's resume in the past few years, the frequency of his taking on dramas is obviously declining.
The year before last, he starred in the movie "Summer Killer" and served as an action director in "SWAT Flying Dragon".
Last year, he made a cameo appearance in "Around the World in 80 Days", and then served as an action director in "Dragon Rebirth".
In the first half of this year, I took my son to start two very bland movies, which were only filmed for three or four months.
If Li Shengyao is not mistaken, in his previous life, Hong Jinbao will play "Slaying the Wolf" and "Raptor" next year.
"Slaying the Wolf" is not the male lead, it can be regarded as the second male lead, and "Raptor" is the third male lead, the Raptors starring Wu Jianhao and Yu Wenle, Hong Jinbao has very few scenes.
Neither of these films took four months to shoot combined.
The artists in the Hong Kong Island film industry have always worked very hard, except for Leung Chiu-wai, who is relatively Buddhist, others are eager to work every day.
Hong Jinbao was a desperate Saburo when he was young, and he is now significantly reducing production.
Li Shengyao felt that his body did not allow it.
He hoped to see Hong Jinbao later, this kung fu master still had energy.
Soon after, Hong Jinbao came over, no more than one meter seven tall, but he was indeed strong, and his eyes were extremely intimidating.
Wang Fatzi, a group of Hong Kong Island colleagues, saw Hong Jinbao, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and hurried forward to say hello.
Li Shengyao quietly lagged behind.
Hong Jinbao naturally noticed Li Shengyao, waved his hand at Wang Fatzi and his party casually, and then stepped forward with a smile, "Director Li is good, I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Hong Jinbao's Mandarin is very standard.
Qi Xiaofu sang opera when he was a child, learned Peking Opera, and his Mandarin was very good.
"Brother Sanmao is polite, I'm your fan, and I've watched almost all of your movies."
Hong Jinbao's early movies were all funny, and Li Shengyao really watched almost all of them.
When Hong Jinbao heard this, a trace of goodwill flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled Li Shengyao to sit on the set.
Li Shengyao and Hong Jinbao met at the crew of "Yue, Prison", not in the hotel teahouse, in fact, Hong Jinbao meant, the purpose is naturally to save face for his son.
Soon after, the workers cleaned up the tables and chairs, and put fruit and tea on the table.
Hong Jinbao personally poured a cup of tea for Li Shengyao, "Director Li, I want to thank you this time, otherwise, that stinky boy in my family will not be filming." ”
Hong Tianming has no talent, and he is not as handsome as Nicholas Tse, and the audience is not good, so he can only be taken by Hong Jinbao.
Li Shengyao said a few polite sentences.
Hong Jinbao continued: "Director Li, you are a great director, what do you think of Tian Ming's future in the future?"
Hong Jinbao took his son, but he was also very helpless.
Hong Tianming has no skills, he can't read, he can't act, so he can't stay at home every day.
I can only be cheeky and take it to eat in person.
He knows about Li Shengyao, this big director is like a character in the mainland TV drama circle, almost every drama can be popular, Zhao Yang, who is popular, Hao Lei shoots advertisements all over the world, and it is said that Zhao Yang has earned hundreds of millions.
He wanted to ask Lee what he thought.
"I guess it's pretty average."
Since Hong Jinbao asked, he naturally told the truth, and Hong Jinbao already had the answer in his heart.
"I feel that Tian Ming's momentum is a little weaker, he doesn't have the evil spirit of a martial arts master, and now that kung fu movies are getting worse and worse, it is difficult for him to come forward."
Hong Jinbao let out a long sigh, "Who says it's not, it's really difficult." ”
Pity the hearts of fathers and sons in the world.
If Li Shengyao has children in the future, as long as he doesn't break the law and is not defeated, it doesn't matter if he is an otaku or a waste material, he doesn't care, he will give him resources if he has the ability, and be an ordinary person honestly if he doesn't have the ability.
Whether it's an elementary school teacher, a taxi driver, or an old man, he can accept it.
The two chatted for a while, and then talked about the action directing of "Punch, Dad", Li Shengyao carefully talked about the plot, and also said that the cost of Hong's class was three million in total, and then looked forward to Hong Jinbao.
"I didn't want to be so tired, the doctor said that I want to recuperate, but you came here in person, and you took care of Tian Ming so much, of course I can't refuse you, give me a few days to prepare, and I will take someone to Yanjing then."
Hong Jinbao said very refreshingly.
Li Shengyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Brother Sanmao, we will make a very different movie, and the name of Hong Jiaban will once again resound all over Asia." ”
