Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 413 424 ["Legend of God of War"]

Hong Kong New Territories, Phantom World Entertainment Company ---
The decoration is not luxurious, but the company's conference room is very comfortable. There are seven or eight people sitting upright, almost all of whom are the management of the film company, including Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

Song Zhichao looked at the company's recent business report, to be precise, the box office report, and was very satisfied with the profit of the company's several films.

As the second boss of Phantom World Company, Fu Jiajun is also sitting at the front right now, but this Second Young Master Fu is yawning constantly, as if he didn't have a good rest last night.

In fact, it was true. Ever since he found out that his film company was a hit at the box office, Fu Ershao coquettishly invited his relatives and friends to celebrate again and again. He was present at banquets, nightclubs, and dance halls.

For Fu Jiajun, when celebrating, as long as the other party says "Fu Shao, you are so good, I didn't expect you to be so good at filming", he will immediately become excited like a chicken blood.

As a well-known playboy in Hong Kong, Fu Jiajun never dreamed that he would be praised and respected like this one day.And these praises and respects are from those people from the heart, from the bottom of their hearts, unlike before, they spent their own money to find praises-those people also gave them free food and drink for themselves, so they kept paying attention to themselves. Flattery.

Just because he was having so much fun, no, he yawned all over the place during the meeting, which made him feel embarrassed, because those people in the management would look at him from time to time.Fu Jiajun was tearful, and he couldn't explain how sleepy he was, so he could only hold back and wait for Song Zhichao to speak at the meeting.

Finally, Song Zhichao put down the documents in his hands, and then made a pagoda shape with his hands, and sat upright, saying, "I'm very happy, our performance this quarter is very good, no, to be precise, it's great! Come on, everyone give yourself a round of applause!"

Clap clap, everyone applauds together.

Song Zhichao waited until the applause stopped for a while, and then said: "Seeing that all the films we invested in have been released and sold well at the box office, we are about to enter 1992, so what is our shooting plan? Tell me?"

Song Zhichao turned his attention to the management, and first took a look at Fu Jiajun.Fu Jiajun was yawning, when he saw him looking over, he quickly wiped his face and said, "I have no objection, just do what you say."

Song Zhichao looked at others again, but no one spoke.

At this time, Liu Dehua said.

Liu Dehua said that his company Tianmu is going to start filming a big production called "Legend of God of War". He will play the male lead, and the second lead will be Big B brother Chung Tsao. The female lead will be Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung.

Then he said that the film tells the story of the fisherman A Fei and Yan Shisan, a descendant of the former dynasty, who became irreversible, and helped Yan Shisan and the Lanling King want to regain the throne from the Fourteenth Prince, but fell in love with Yan Shisan's fiancée Yue Ya'er. The story of the fourteenth prince who sadly retired for the sake of his friend's faith.

Obviously, because of the success of "1991 The Legend of Condor Heroes", Liu Dehua has full confidence in the new drama he is preparing to shoot, so when telling the story of the script of this drama, Liu Dehua also used a very strong personal emotion.

In the end, Liu Dehua smiled and said to Song Zhichao: "I'm very optimistic about this movie. If Mr. Song thinks it's okay, we can cooperate again, and you Phantom can also invest in it. What do you think?"

Looking at Liu Dehua's expectant eyes, Song Zhichao didn't agree to him immediately. After all, investing in filming is not making friends, favor and investment are two different things.

The most important thing is that Song Zhichao knew too well about this play by Liu Dehua in his previous life.

To be precise, "Legend of God of War" is a film that failed in the investment of Andy Lau's sky-screen film, but it is also a crazy masterpiece in the heyday of Hong Kong films in the early 90s.

There are four directors in total.Sammo Hung's named director was in charge of the overall situation, and he and Cheng Xiaodong Yuankui completed the martial arts according to the scene, and Luo Qirui and Maggie Cheung were in charge of the literary part.

At that time, Cheng Xiaodong's elegant "dancing" style was self-contained and very popular. He and Sammo Hung, who prefers actual combat on the ground and emphasizes hard bridges and horses, disagreed. —Don't let them stay together.

In addition to the first protagonist Andy Lau, the film brings together three stars, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Chung Chung-to.It's a pity that due to scheduling issues, the four people with a large number of rival scenes participated in the filming of only one scene at the same time during the entire production process; the rest of the time, martial arts scenes were almost all done by martial artist substitutes, and most of the literary dramas were also skipped with their stand-in counterparts. .

The most exaggerated one is Maggie Cheung, who gave the crew two days to shoot close-up shots of her in all the scenes, and handed over the rest of the civil and military scenes to the double.The saying of a daily salary of 200 million may stem from this.No wonder she was the second heroine or at least a supporting role in the show, but she hung up the cameo role, so she didn't fool the audience.

Later, in other interviews, Sammo Hung mentioned that he was disappointed with the star-first, shoddy style of quick success and money-grabbing in the overall production of Hong Kong films, and his interest declined. He took the example of the four stars of the film who never got together. Enough.

In his previous life, Song Zhichao first watched "Legend of God of War" when he was still in school, and was attracted by Liu Dehua's opening show in the bamboo forest, and the rare and strange dolphins. The action scenes were brilliant and romantic.After rewatching it several years later, Song Zhichao really understood the movie. Only then did he realize that Hua Tsai's heroic appearance and the dolphin in the swimming pool cannot stand the test of time.The terrible thing is that after learning about those gossips in the DVD tidbits, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I can no longer simply enjoy the movie purely.

But no matter what, in the future, this movie will be known as the "Three Unpopular Martial Arts Movies" together with "Scorpion Warrior" and "Kung Fu Boy Breaking into Love", and it can be regarded as occupying a place in the history of Hong Kong martial arts movies.

But, looking back, it was this movie that made Liu Dehua lose everything. A shrewd person like Song Zhichao would never invest in the filming of this movie. Nostalgia and feelings are worthless in his eyes, and he knows that It is a money-losing product, and you still have to do it, that is a big fool.

Thinking of this, Song Zhichao already had calculations in his heart, and with a friendly smile on his face, he said to Liu Dehua: "Hua Zai, since you are very optimistic about this movie, then this movie must be very good, but recently Phantom's funds are a little tight. A little bit, looking at your cast, it is a big production—for the time being, we, Phantom, have no funds to invest in such a big production."

Song Zhichao said it very tactfully, he did not persuade Liu Dehua not to cast this movie, the reason is that Liu Dehua is already full of self-confidence, and it is useless for you to persuade him; in addition, Song Zhichao has selfish intentions, and his selfish intention is to make Liu Dehua fall hard. Only in this way can we control each other better in the future——For Song Zhichao, Liu Dehua is not only a friend, but also a star, a star who can help Phantom Entertainment make money.So what Song Zhichao has to do is to send charcoal in the snow after Liu Dehua's investment in this drama fails and he loses money, so as to deepen his emotional investment.

How did Liu Dehua know this? He really thought that Song Zhichao had no money and missed such a good investment opportunity, so he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Looking at his appearance, there is a great sense of regret that I want to make a fortune with you, but you missed a good opportunity.

Song Zhichao was afraid that Liu Dehua would pester him again, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Zhou Xingchi who was sitting with Liu Dehua: "Xingzi, what are your plans for next year?"

Zhou Xingchi himself is completely different from the ghost horse in the movie. He is dull and stupid, and he doesn’t seem to be very good at talking. Seeing Song Zhichao’s question, he murmured and said, “I’ve thought about it... I want to shoot Jin Yong’s old man. Mr. "The Deer and Ding Tale"..."

""The Deer and Ding Tale"?" Hearing Zhou Xingchi say this, Song Zhichao's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately said: "This can be had!"
