Chapter 910 Detective in Chinatown, Hong Kong Island is dark

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown is gathered in the city center, and it is the largest Chinatown gathering place in southern Vietnam. It is located on the embankment and was later called the Fifth District.

As mentioned in the novel, the pronunciation of Cholon is really close to China.

Shuttle on the streets, as if not in a foreign country. . . . .

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese and ethnic Chinese gathered here, forming a large Chinese community, which is also one of the largest Chinese communities in the world.Chinese chambers of commerce, restaurants, stalls, and shops are everywhere in the city, and you can see neon lights or signboards with Chinese characters when you look up, as if you are on the streets of Guangdong and Guangxi. Various arcades and archways abound.

In the description of "The Lover", the embankment is the most affluent place in Saigon, and the Chinese play a pivotal role in the local industry and commerce. There are traditional decay and industrial modernity here.

"This place seems to be no different from Hong Kong Island. Cantonese is spoken all over the street, and Cantonese restaurants can be seen everywhere... The building signs and plaques are all in the style of Hong Kong Island..." Qiu Shuzhen looked back and forth, "I just feel very defeated."

Wearing a white Ao Dai, she has a perfect figure and is holding Wu Xiaozu's arm unscrupulously.It seems to have returned to the days when I was a little sister next to my elder brother.

"Most people here are from Fujian and Guangdong. The Chinese have a long history of moving south, but most of the Chinese today escaped during the Anti-Japanese War...or followed the bald army..." Wu Xiaozu looked at the slightly lonely old city in front of him, noisy , Messy, slightly dilapidated, the former prosperity seemed like a dream.

The Chinese economy was swept away in the 70s. In 86, they learned from the mainland and also opened up the economy. Only then did they begin to breathe, but they have long lost the importance they had back then.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Xiaozu inexplicably thought of a Chinatown-themed series of scumbags. In fact, "Detective Chinatown" is really a very traditional and well-behaved commercial film... But Mr. Chen really put This theme has been brought to the extreme, creating one of the most successful commercial IPs in Chinese-language films.

So can this film series be developed in the 90s?

of course can!

This dual-protagonist model is a very classic business model, a mature type of commercial film.Hollywood and Hong Kong Island have been filming... Rush Hour seems to be similar if you look closely... and so is Best Partner.

The combination of comedy + reasoning has its own market and selling point.

"What are you thinking?" Qiu Shuzhen looked at Wu Xiaozu staring at the plaque in a daze, and looked up curiously, but didn't find anything strange.

"I'm thinking of shooting a movie with the theme of Detective Chinatown, with two protagonists, the male lead A is an unscrupulous old man, greedy for life and afraid of death, acrobatics, good at three-legged kung fu, likes to play tricks... and then claims to be romantic ...and tacky at the same time...”

Qiu Shuzhen's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "Are you mirroring Brother Long??"

? ? ? ?
Little question mark, do you have many friends? ? ?

Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, I wasn't!
But...don't say it——

Cheng Long + Xiao Xianrou's comedy reasoning film seems to be very interesting! ?

Of course, the role played by Long Ge ≠ the role played by Bao Qiang.

But some elements can be used for reference, and different character designs, of course, are properly adjusted according to the actors.

Cheng Long will also show his own style. After all, if he wants to shoot, Wu Xiaozu must not give up the display of Long Ge's superior kung fu, otherwise it will really be a real version of buying a box and returning the pearl.

It's not hard for Brother Long to accept playing tricks.

Otherwise, there would be no Chunli with hot eyes...

Chinatown culture is no stranger to foreign cultures. For foreigners, they also have their own understanding of Chinatown, and there will be no cultural barriers.Because thanks to the existence of Bruce Lee, foreigners really think that everyone in Chinatown knows kung fu...

Chinatown itself is a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, so it is easier to be accepted commercially.Not only foreigners are interested in Chinatown, but audiences in the Chinese-speaking area are also very interested in Chinatown.

The fan base will be very broad, which determines the commercial market of the film.

"I'll send the outline to the company's screenwriters later, and ask them to create a comedy + reasoning story based on the outline." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

"I thought you would choose Zhou Xingxing for comedy." Qiu Shuzhen said seriously.

"His popularity and potential overseas cannot be compared with Brother Long."

Wu Xiaozu thought for a while, and said: "The funny humor of the body is wider than the humor of the language. The humor of the language must be displayed in the context. Zhou Xingxing is now becoming a Gagman in the film industry. But his humor It needs to be presented in a familiar language environment, which involves cultural accumulation.

It is sometimes difficult for foreigners to understand the humor of Zhou Xingxing's lines.But Cheng Long's physical humor is very intuitive...and it is easier to get the effect.For example, you will find it funny when we watch Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

Of course, there is actually no difference between verbal humor and physical humor.Zhou Xingxing is also very good, but now he is not suitable to leave the context of the Chinese-speaking circle... because his creation is rooted in the soil environment..."

This is also the reason why Cheng Long can become one of the most well-known stars in the Chinese circle in the world in later generations.

Really great.

This is also very funny... Foreign movie fans will be proud to take pictures with Jack Cheng, and respect him, thinking that he has influenced many young people.But in China, he has a bunch of black fans NT keyboard man...

Even if it's about character, among the stars, Jack Cheng isn't at the bottom, right?Does anyone really think Hollywood stars are saints? ?

Countless people in the circle respect it, and it is also very popular abroad, but it is strange that a lot of people outside the domestic circle diss.

The big-nosed dragon who was hugging the beautiful woman far away on Hong Kong Island sneezed hard, always feeling that his fans are dissing himself... (*^▽^*)!

"Then are you strong in body, or in tongue?" Qiu Shuzhen lightly stuck out his tongue, his eyes cut water, and his charm was alluring.

"Go buy traditional Chinese medicine first, and let you taste it later." Wu Xiaozu whispered.

"Taste what?" Qiu Mada smiled, and his eyes were like silk, "I am your herbal tea guide - pinch, duo, pop!"

You see, Xiao Taimei just likes to steal cars, it seems that she has to eat enough barbecued pork buns.

...

Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road, Chungking Mansions.

The entrance of a building with a mottled signboard that is incompatible with the surrounding prosperous scene.There are many cheap hotels, shops, restaurants, foreign exchange shops and other service industries gathered in it.

It's a bit similar to the Guangyuan West Road in Yangcheng later... There are more people of Pakistani, Indian, South Asian, and African descent here.

Many people say that this is a third-world paradise that is out of place in a prosperous area.Think of it as a frontier mansion in the core city, a place between the manufacturing hubs of the developing world and the poorest underbelly.

Actually yes.

Chungking Mansions is often 'named' on the social pages of newspapers on Hong Kong Island.

Such as "Filipino maid committed suicide by taking medicine in Chungking Mansions", "Vietnamese guy was revealed to have hidden leaves and was arrested." ''Africans were dismembered in Chungking Mansions', 'South Asians hid in the building and confronted Indian guards' news abound.

According to some statistics, people of more than 100 nationalities come and go in Chongqing Mansions every day. Every night, about 4000 unidentified people of various nationalities stay in this building. crime.

Therefore, Chungking Mansions has long been notorious on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, it became famous in later generations because of Wang Jiawei's "Chongqing Forest".In fact, not all of this film was filmed in Chongqing Mansions, only Aunt Lin's scenes were filmed here... Wang Jiawei took Aunt Lin, Du Kefeng and other crew members to break into Chongqing Mansions.

During the filming process, the Indian guards in the building chased and intercepted them in various ways. The shots of Chongqing Mansions in the movie were basically taken secretly.
As the saying goes, black to the extreme natural powder.Because of the differences and dangers here, it has become a check-in place for many NT tourists in later generations.

By the way, Zhou Yuleg used to be a resident here when he was young. . . . .Later, Zhou's mother insisted on moving away for her growth.

"Bad Yawen, did you make a mistake? Ask me to come here?"

Looking at the dirty environment full of curry smell, the gentle man wearing glasses couldn't help covering his nose. This behavior made Ah San who was passing by stare at him with gloomy eyes.

"Deng sir, don't worry..."

The man has few stray hairs on his head, wears round glasses and a cheap floral shirt, grinning, his gums are blood red, but his teeth are rotten and black, chewing betel nuts between his teeth and smoking a cigarette.

"My boss thinks highly of you, that's why I specially invited you here. Just look at it and you'll know—"

With several turns and eight turns, he walked to a rolling shutter door and opened it voluntarily. There were people watching in the corridor of the house.

walk into.

suddenly see the light--

A huge pirated videotape processing factory was in operation, and people walked past carrying videotapes from time to time.

Deng Yancheng pushed his glasses and picked up a pirated video tape. Unexpectedly, the production was not poor, but the printing level was quite good.

"Rainy Night Butcher".

"How is it? Isn't it a surprise?" Rotten Yawen grinned, his blood-red gums matched with his rotten teeth, making him look very pervasive, "These videotapes are sold as genuine copies overseas... Our boss is waiting for you inside. He is also difficult I got to come here, so I introduced you to him. To tell you the truth, he is very powerful in the entertainment industry... Do you know Wu Xiaozu?
That great director was once picked up by my boss...without my boss, he is nothing..."

"Who's your boss?" Deng Yancheng was taken aback.

"No—that's my boss."

Not far away, a man in a suit and no tie was coming out of an elevator surrounded by people.

"Cai-Zhi-Ming!"

Rotten Yawen said proudly, "My boss favors you, you can do it! He has a good sense of B-grade movies... Don't worry, it's definitely more favorable than other companies! Come on, I'll take you there—"

Deng Yancheng looked curiously at the opposite Boss Cai.

He knows the other party's name...

He is indeed well-known in the entertainment circle, and it seemed that many pirated video tape factories that were seized were related to him.

He was also caught in the turmoil that Anita Mui had in the past.

However, how did he hear that the relationship between the other party and Wu Xiaozu was a bit stiff? ? ?
"Dig me according to [-], I don't believe there is a corner that cannot be dug." Cai Zhiming ordered the people around him.

At this time, I saw Lan Yawen walking over with Deng Yancheng in his arms.
