My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 553 Shooting for "Double Heroes 2", a temporary change of roles?

"Young and Dangerous 4" was released for three days, and won the box office champion in the first week of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Counting the morning and night performances, the box office reached 440 million Hong Kong dollars.Ranked first in the list of films of the same period.

The results are impressive.

However, it can be seen from the crowd of viewers that the audience is visually tired of this series, and it is unavoidable to continue the sequels in a short period of time.

For a film series, the best rhythm should be roughly maintained at a speed of 18-24 months, and the faster the loss outweighs the gain.

Unfortunately, this plan no longer exists on Hong Kong Island.

If the 1024 locomotive does not rush to the beach and land quickly, it is estimated that the following Young and Dangerous movies will directly overdraw the entire market.

With the release of four films, the "Young and Dangerous" series has also formed its own brand effect.Although there are other Young and Dangerous films on the market, Young and Dangerous with Chen Haonan and Pheasant is the real "Young and Dangerous".

Just like later generations, it is not that no one wants to imitate "Mission: Impossible", "007", and "Vegetarian Chicken", but the brand is already deeply entrenched.

The "Young and Dangerous" series can be regarded as exchanging time for space.

However, compared with the results of the first three parts, it is slightly weaker and obviously lacks momentum.You know, this drama brings together Luo Yijian, Wu Zhenyu, Wang Zuzhen, Guan Zhilin, Huang Qiusheng, Ren Dahua, Wan Ziyu and others, and the cast is not weak.

This also proves that Wu Xiaozu is indeed wise to temporarily shelve this drama.

There is shelving, and naturally there is continuation.

As for horror films, Qiu Litao's "Fear Room 2" is currently being filmed and is expected to be released around Halloween.

However, horror films are restricted by the rating system to a certain extent, and they still cannot carry the box office of mainstream audiences.

Since the implementation of the grading system, horror movies have dropped sharply, and even fantasy kung fu movies have been affected. Various companies are also adjusting their production ideas.

Ying Zhijie's easy release of Liu Zhenwei also has this factor.

Compared with Wang Jiawei's business, Fatty Liu, who is obsessed with ghost movies, is obviously not so popular with Deng Guangrong.

If it is the most watched movie in Hong Kong, Director Wu's "Dragon Inn" is naturally highly anticipated.

However, Wang Jiawei's "Days of Being Wild" is also expected by the circle. The initial investment of 4000 million + is not counted, and several investors have shouted "no investment limit".

This alone is enough to make people in the circle envy and hate.

"Days of Being Wild" has stopped filming again...

This time it's not Wang Jiawei who gets bored~╮(╯▽╰)╭ but my brother's schedule is up, and there is a concert coming soon.

Can you shoot the lead actor's schedule...Wang Jiawei is in a good time, if it was you a few days ago, Boss Deng probably would have called it out with one mouth.

In fact, Boss Deng has the mental capacity to tolerate overspending directors.

Therefore, Deng Guangrong was mentally prepared for Wang Jiawei.

As long as you don't lose money, you'll be fine, and it doesn't matter if you accompany him a little bit, he will still take advantage of it.

I'm afraid Cai Zhiming and Xiang Sheng also have the same thoughts.

Only Tomson Company, I am afraid it is also to explore the depth of the muddy river on Hong Kong Island...

At the same time as "Young and Dangerous 4" was released, Wang Rixiang's new play "Specially Fishing Alligators" was also released as scheduled.The lineup of Hua Tsai + Murong Fu + Wan Ziyu is not weak, especially Wan Ziyu, a falling fighter who lasts nearly 20 minutes, is full of gimmicks.

However, comedy-style gangster movies are generally a hodgepodge. Of course, the entertainment is indeed very good, and the box office will not be too bad.

Wang Jing now has his own box office appeal!
After the summer break, Wang Jing has also become a first-line director of commercial films recognized by the circle and the audience, but the film is mostly shit and fart, and many people look down on it.But this cannot conceal the commercial success of the other party.

This salty fat man is still capable.

Before Xu Guanwen left and Zhou Xingxing did not pick up, Wang Jing was undoubtedly the most representative figure in Hong Kong comedy movies.

No matter if it's shit or fart, or it's vulgar, or it's Wang Jing's kitsch audience, he can really make the audience laugh out loud.Audience buying is enough to explain the problem
Comedy isn't funny, it's the biggest joke.

……

"3000?"

Jiang Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows, and cast his eyes on Shi Nansheng and Jiang Jiahua in front of him, who nodded.

"Since there is no problem with the amount of investment, then other work can be done normally. Since it is filming "Twin Heroes 2", I also need to report to Director Wu... Oh, Director Wu Xiaozu. He is also very concerned about your "Two Heroes 2" [-]" progress. I hope you can understand the mind of a movie creator..."

"I understand that I have never doubted Director Wu's film feelings. The film itself is... it is... Director Wu's idea."

Speaking of this, Wu's big head sank into the sofa, and the ashtray in front of him stood upside down with many cigarette butts.

Apple's big face was full of tangles, and hair fell out in handfuls.

With such a big head, how come there is nothing new?

Now Wu Yusen himself believes that the story of "Xiaozhuang" that Wu Xiaozu told at the beginning is original, maybe his own thoughts were accidentally heard one time?That's why they collide with each other.

Most importantly, when he was still thinking, he already had a complete plot.

Even if he doesn't admit it, there is no way.

What's more, everyone in the director's meeting can testify!

Thinking of this, even though Wu Yusen didn't want to admit it, he sighed.

Wu Xiaozu, righteousness!
For such a successful sequel, I let myself shoot because of the word "believe". To be honest, even though I have passed the age of passion, I still feel more and more emotional.

Compare Tsui Hark's sharp-billed monkey cheeks.Keep denying your own ideas for the sake of the box office!Sometimes... helpless!

In the previous life, the two also had many confrontations due to creative ideas.

The release of "The True Colors of Heroes 2" was originally a compromise between the disputes between the two parties, but this compromise will not last forever!
Even if one is Tsui Hark and the other is Wu Yusen!
"The story is generally the same as our company's preliminary script, but there must be a slight difference in the details, which is harmless."

Jiang Zhiqiang pursed his lips and nodded solemnly, "As long as the shooting complies with the regulations, I will give the company the green light to cooperate."

If it weren't for Wu's big head in front of him, Second Young Master Jiang wouldn't let him touch the series of "Double Heroes" easily.

However, Wu Yusen's strength dispelled his hesitation.

At least on this topic, Jiang Ershao thinks that Wu Xiaozu and Baige Wu should be considered... [-]-[-].

Now that the company needs new hematopoietic capabilities, "Double Heroes 2" is undoubtedly a very good movie.

As the manager of the production department, Jiang Ershao was thinking about the company's development interests.

As for whether the independence of the series is feasible or not, it is not too important.This approach is not unusual.It's just that most companies still hope that the story, even the characters, will continue for the sake of box office considerations, in order to guarantee the box office.

"Since there is no problem, then we have to form a team together to prepare for the filming. The casting and preparation of this film will take about half a month. The calculation of the film's investment needs to be decided after the preparation. With such a large film crew, all departments need to coordinate. In the end It will soon be launched in late October or even November."

Shi Nansheng said from the sidelines, "This is still under the condition that everything is going well. Don't forget, they still have time to raise funds for the director's club and direct a movie together. I will send you the timetable at this time."

The main reason for Shi Nansheng's exhortation is that she herself is the executive producer of the film.

Although the movie has not yet been prepared, and even the script has no margins, but one of the male protagonists has been confirmed - the magnificent big nose!
No way, he has the most box office appeal and the most warm-hearted.

"I understand, I will talk to Azu." Jiang Ershao happily embraced it.

--------

"Dragon Inn" crew.

In front of the inn, the camera takes a panoramic shot.

Lin Qingxia's gold inlaid jade figure sat on the eaves with her legs crossed, the setting sun was in front of her.

The wind blows the banners, and the smoke and dust are endless.

There are red strings and silver bells hanging on the wheat-colored ankles, and when the wind blows, the bells jingle.

During filming, it is definitely not easy to receive sound on site. It is still unrealistic to have a windshield and a vertical radio pole in time.

At this time, 90.00% of Hong Kong films are basically dubbed in the later stage, but because the script itself is not perfect, the narration needs to be greatly revised in the later stage. Therefore, sometimes the actors do not open their mouths, but they have to force it regardless, and the pictures often do not match the shape of the mouth. .Therefore, a special term "**** mouth shape" also appeared.

When editing, you don’t need to think about the dialogue, just draw the scene at will.Tsui Hark is a master of the medium, and the hot emotional dialogue between Lin Xiaohuzi and Zhang Aijia's "Shanghai Night" is this way.

Northwest folk songs will also be inserted in the movie as an interlude here.

In Tsui Hark's "New Dragon Inn", Wu Xiaozu recognized it very much, which is why this martial arts film is considered the pinnacle of Chinese-language films.

Wild, desolate.

Auntie Lin was wearing a Zhai Yiru skirt, her peach hips were raised, her waistline was plump, and the big panorama shot against the light was hard to hide her enchantment.

only--

"Crack!"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Lin Qingxia who was at a loss, couldn't help frowning slightly, first waved to let the staff go to work, and took the initiative to take the green army coat and walked to Auntie Lin to put it on.

"The weather in the desert is as cold as it can be, so you must keep warm."

"In the past few days, my mind has not been on the performance, and my mind is in a trance. I have been thinking about you going back to Hong Kong Island for the past two days...I miss you a little. But I am relieved to hope that you will come back. But I just can't find it. The feeling of filming. Because I delayed the whole crew by myself... I also feel very sorry." Auntie Lin was also a little annoyed with herself, took the water glass, raised her head - looking at Wu Xiaozu with flowing water.

"I think Hu Yinmeng is more suitable than me to play the role of gold inlaid jade~ Now that my part has just started filming, I think it's better to find someone more suitable...to save time and effort."

"Are you serious?" Wu Xiaozu narrowed his eyes with deep eyes.

"..." Lin Qingxia lowered her head and said nothing, just sipped hot water.

Wu Xiaozu stared at Auntie Lin closely, his expression a bit cold.

"Ashin!"

"Brother Zu! Here—" Ye Weixin trotted over.

"Notify the crew to restart the play, Hu Yinmeng will play gold inlaid with jade!" Wu Xiaozu said coldly.

"Ah?" Ye Weixin was about to respond when he was taken aback suddenly.

At this moment, holding a stick in his hand, Hu Yinmeng, who walked over with his legs between his legs, also gave a meal...

Feeling buzzing in the head.

He raised his eyes, his face was strange, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing Auntie Lin looking at her with a warm smile, Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but frowned and exhaled.
