Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 115 "A Chinese Ghost Story"

Yuan Jiaban's joining Tengyue Entertainment Company, although it was reported by media reporters, did not cause much noise. After all, there are many major events in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle now, and everyone does not pay attention to this "little news".All eyes are on the "Back to the Future" that is being screened and the selection of "Miss Hong Kong" that kicked off.

But in Tengyue Entertainment Company, Su Cheng discussed with Yuan Heping about the candidates for the role.

Yuen Biao is currently confirmed to play the male lead Ip Man, and Anita Mui has been dealt to play the female lead Zhang Yong.Zhou Qingquan is still played by Ren Dahua.Jin Shan asked Yuan Hua to play the role.Li Zhao was cast by Wu Zhenyu.Jacky Cheung played Wu Chi Lin.Sha Danyuan was played by Wang Jie.

As for several martial arts masters, they were handed over to the Hong family class. The Yuan family class was short of people, so they found someone to invite them themselves.

The islanders also have to find island actors to play.

As for other matters, they were all handed over to Yuan Heping.After all, he is the film's director plus action director.

"Director Yuan, I have already discussed with Master Ye Zhun. You can contact him about the Wing Chun consultant. In particular, let Yuen Biao act according to the design in the script. What we want to shoot is similar to a Hollywood blockbuster. Kung Fu movies, not the authentic Hong Kong movie model of today, do you understand?"

"I understand, boss! I will follow the script to shoot!"

What Su Cheng hoped was that the action scenes in action movies would look good, not just show off his muscles like Yuen Biao played Liang Zan before.Hopefully, the box office of this film will be ideal at that time!
After all, this is currently the most invested "Hong Kong film" except for "Modern Bodyguard".I'm afraid it will exceed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!

If you are not serious, how can you recover the cost?

……

After Yuan Heping left, Su Cheng brought Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian over.

Because of "Back to the Future", the current Rong Zai enjoys a big name in the world, but relying on one movie alone will not last long.There was no way, in order to stabilize his popularity, Su Cheng could only let him shoot the sensational movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" in advance in advance.

Although this film, the most popular is the heroine Wang Zuxian.But Ning Caichen, played by Leslie Cheung, is not at all inferior!

In this way, there is no fear that Leslie Cheung's popularity is too vain.

Afterwards, he will release his new albums one by one, and he is afraid that he will become the first big star of Teng Yue Entertainment Company to gain a firm foothold in the world.If one or two films sell well, or win awards at internationally renowned film festivals, they will be firmly on the throne.

As for Ye Qianwen's words, it has to be postponed for now, after all, her acting skills are not enough.Besides, song albums can’t always be delayed, can they?

"I think Minister Chen told you, Rong Zi, what do you think?"

"Follow the company's arrangement!"

"What about you?" Looking at Wang Zuxian, Su Cheng asked.

"I will do well!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Su Cheng asked Wang Zuxian to go out first, and then said to Leslie Cheung: "You should know what you will encounter when filming, and report this kind of thing to Ye Qianwen first. In addition, when filming, treat her as a Just a little girl, don't have too much psychological burden."

"I understand, boss!" Leslie Cheung laughed and said, "Besides, Ye Qianwen and I have both stayed abroad, as long as we don't overdo it, our relationship can stand the test."

"It's good that you're fine here. By the way, don't act in a marriage proposal. When the time is right, things will happen naturally. Just like Brother Fa."

Hearing this, Leslie Cheung's face froze, and he said aggrievedly: "Boss, how long ago did that happen? Besides, everyone now belongs to the same company, so it's better to be friends!"

"If you can think that way, I'm relieved!"

The reason why he specifically talked to Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian was because there was a dewy plot in the movie. Leslie Cheung and Ye Qianwen were in a relationship like glue. If he felt disgusted because of this, it was not what he wanted to see.Furthermore, that is, Wang Zuxian has to pay a lot in this drama, Su Cheng is afraid that she will not be happy, or has a psychological burden, so he has to do some work.

But what he doesn't know is that although Wang Zuxian is not very old now, he often shoots with Anita Mui, Zhong Chuhong and others. Seeing that the female stars around him are getting more and more popular, he is too far behind, and he is not convinced.

This time, being able to play the heroine and heroine with Leslie Cheung, who has become famous internationally, is too exciting!How can you miss such a good role because of this "art devotion"?
Therefore, after the company decided to let her be the heroine, she took the lead in doing the family work, and won the role in an instant.Whoever makes her an artist contract, not just any role she wants to play, can do what she wants.After all, you are not old enough!Parental consent is required.

When writing the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Su Cheng did not completely copy the original version.First, their company has money, at least, in terms of special effects, the quality must be high.Whether it is fighting or the design of the Montenegrin old demon, it must be ingenious.

For this reason, Su Cheng specially approved the production with a cost price of more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.After all, special effects really cost money.There are also Lanruo Temple and the market, which require a grand scene.

His idea was to take the show to Hollywood for release.A petty film will eventually make the film lose water.After all, this is the "eternal classic movie" that he doesn't remember much among Hong Kong movies!
In addition to this "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are "God of Gamblers" and "The True Colors of Heroes" starring Chow Yun-fat."A Chinese Journey to the West" and "Kung Fu" starring Zhou Xingchi."Infernal Affairs" by Tony Leung.

Of course, there are still many classics, but compared to this kind of "reading it a hundred times without getting tired", there are very few of them!
Therefore, in order to sublimate the classics, Su Cheng had to spend a lot of money to create "high-investment films".

As for the director alone, Xu Anhua, who has already finished filming the movie "Running into the Raging Sea", will soon finish filming the movie "True Lies", director Johnnie To, and action director Sammo Hung called together to create together.

Such motivating teachers and crowds is to complete a masterpiece of "pure Hong Kong film" film history!

At least, at present, the film "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be regarded as an alternative work among ghost films.There is no sense of horror, but a sour "dog food smell".

Of course, after everything goes well, the absolute director of this drama is still Du Qifeng.As for Xu Anhua, he will first go to shoot the classic literary film "Autumn Story" by Chow Yun-fat.After that, it will be followed by "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog".

With her action, Su Cheng didn't worry about the plot going astray at all.After all, they are all literary films of the same strain!I hope she can perfectly show the shooting level of a great director.
