"Have you heard, McDonald Bear is going to put Wu Xihao on the big screen." Wang Jing couldn't wait to ask as soon as he entered the door. I heard that, as soon as I came back, I saw the newspaper saying that they were going to shoot the godfather of Hong Kong, what's wrong?" Qiao Feng nodded and asked.

"It's not that the Xiang brothers heard that McDonald Bear was going to shoot Wu Xihao's story, and they felt that the subject matter that could be favored by McDonald Bear must have something to do, so they were also moved, and it happened that I was okay for the time being after I finished the later stage of Arhat Eleven, and they found me." Wu Jing pouted a little disappreciatively and said.

"Brother Xiang is so optimistic about McDonald Bear? He didn't finish the box office before he finished filming, and he was ready to follow suit?" Qiao Feng asked with some amusement.

"Who knows. I think McDonald Bear is just like that, and what about the godfather of Hong Kong? I'm going to take pictures of Hong Kong's American past." Wang Jing felt that the Xiang brothers thought too highly of McDonald Bear, and felt that they couldn't wait to follow the trend to shoot McDonald Bear's subject matter to look down on themselves.

Qiao Feng smiled disappreciatively and quipped: "Don't think about the American past in Hong Kong, Xu Ke said that he wants to shoot the American past in Hong Kong."

"What? Xu Ke is also going to follow the trend of McDonald's Bear to make a biographical movie? This is not his style." Wang Jing said in surprise.

"Of course not." Qiao Feng shook his head, just like Wang Jing said, following the trend, that is not Xu Ke's style.

Xu Laowei's style is to develop or expand a genre film by himself.

In fact, several of the top directors in Hong Kong have their own genre films that have created Everbright, just like Wang Jing, no one is qualified to accuse him of following suit, because gambling films, chasing girls, and hurting friends and many series of genre films were all made popular by him, and even said that Hong Kong's gambling films were all created by him, can the so-called gambling films before him be the gambling films that everyone thought later?

Xu Ke too, without Xu Ke there would be no new martial arts, and only Xu Ke left a block in film history in Xianxia films.

Even many people think that the hero film like the true character of the hero was created by Wu Yusen, but in fact, the original time and space was originally Xu Ke's project, and he handed over the project to Wu Yusen when he saw that his good friend Wu Yusen, who had helped him before, was down, but the producer was still Xu Ke's.

Of course, the true character of the hero is indeed marked with Wu Yusen's strong personal label, which does not need to be questioned.

"Xu Ke wants to shoot Huang Feihong, he wants to make Huang Feihong his American past, and even the English name he has already taken, it is called Onceuponatimein China." Qiao Feng said.

"Once Upon a Time in China?" Wang Jing shook his head speechlessly: "Is this a tribute to American classics?"

"Sort of, anyway, whether it's the godfather or the American past, it's just the story of a person or a group of people in a piece of history." Qiao Feng said: "Especially the past in the United States, this name, you can just shoot a person in the past or a group of people in the past can be applied, Xu Ke is filming Huang Feihong, it is about domestic affairs, he wants to call China Past, then you can also shoot a Hong Kong person, and then call Hong Kong Past, or shoot a person in Guangzhou, call Guangzhou Past, name, whatever you want."

Wang Jing looked at Qiao Feng with a smile and said, "According to what you say, the godfather can also call the past of the United States, isn't it."

"Don't say it, this is why the director of Once Upon a Time in America didn't take over the job of directing the godfather in the first place, otherwise the godfather might really be called Once Upon a Time in America." Qiao Feng said with a smile.

Of course, Qiao Feng's words are pure nonsense, but the two movies The Godfather and Once Upon a Time in America are really related.

Of course, this origin is not to say that these two movies are about gangsters, but just like Qiao Feng said, when the godfather first filmed, the director wanted to invite the director of Once Upon a Time in America, Sergio Leon.

Because although the story of the godfather is about an American gangster, it can be seen from the name of the godfather that the gangster is about a mafia that originated in Italy.

Sergio León is Italian, so Paramount Pictures, the producer of the Godfather, felt that Sergio León was suitable to direct the Godfather.

However, Sergio Leon had already bought the rights to Harry Gray's autobiography "The Hoods", which is the film adaptation of Once Upon a Time in America.

This is about the growth of several teenagers in the Jewish gangsters of New York, and Sergio Leon is building a script for a gangster story based on it.

At this time, Paramount asked him to shoot the godfather with a similar theme, and Sergio Leon naturally didn't do it.

The result was that Francesco Polpola directed the Godfather.

By the time Sergio Leon changed the script and found the leading actor and was ready to start filming Once Upon a Time in America, the Godfather had already finished filming and was a big hit at the box office.

Then there is the lack of confidence in the success of "Once Upon a Time in America", which is very similar to "The Godfather", and the investment plan is put on hold.

This stranding was more than ten years, and it was not until 1985, that is, fourteen years later, that the American Past was filmed and released.

Then, another gangster classic was born.

This is why Wang Jing said that McDonald Bear wanted to shoot the godfather of Hong Kong, and he filmed Hong Kong's American past.

But although the genres of the two movies are similar, there are still differences.

Otherwise, Xu Ke would not have taken Huang Feihong's English name as a Chinese past.

The Godfather is a pure hero movie, it is about the mafia family feuds but the American past is not, it has an expression of American history, culture and spirit.

Therefore, Huang Feihong, who is also an expression of Chinese history, culture and spirit, can be called China's past, but he cannot be called China's godfather.

On the other hand, the story of Wu Xihao filmed by McDonald Bear can be called both the godfather of Hong Kong and the past of Hong Kong, after all, the story of Wu Xihao itself is a history of Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Feng pulled the topic back: "Although Brother Xiang let you follow the trend of McDonald Bear is a little underestimated, I have to say that they still see McDonald Bear very accurately."

"What's the matter, do you think McDonald's theme can be a big hit this time?" Wang Jing frowned.

"Definitely." Qiao Feng nodded: "First of all, judging from past experience, McDonald Bear rarely misses a shot.Not to mention when he was on Li's TV station.,That's what can suppress all the wireless.Entering the film circle,The first work "Pretty Girl" won the youngest Academy Award actress for the first time filming, and the box office is also okay.After that, you see how many followers.And then the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers also caused a boom.There are also rivers and lakes, and the inside of the law, all of which are win-win works at the word-of-mouth box office.

Again, biographies or gangster biographies are the missing link in the Hong Kong film genre.

In the end, Wu Xihao's story is not far away from us, even if he is in prison, but his story is still circulating in the streets and alleys.

This naturally has an audience base.

Did you say you had a head?"

"It's really funny to hear you say that.Then I'll go back and tell the Xiang brothers.McDonald bear shoots Wu Xihao, and the Xiang brothers know their own family affairs, so they just shoot their family's affairs." Wang Jing said that he was about to leave.

"Hey, you're stupid, will you expose your shortcomings to your family? Qiao Feng hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.

"Hey, too." Wang Jing, who reacted, smiled a little wryly...

"Then what did you say?"

"In the sixties and seventies in Hong Kong, there were people who asked you to shoot, and you went back to the Xiang brothers and asked them to make a decision.
