China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 233 Is Zhan Huayi Afraid?Proud!

"Is this the modern version of "Legend of the White Snake"?"

"Correct."

"But, wouldn't such an adaptation be too bold?"

"Is that bold?"

"Is not it?"

"Sister Xue, haven't you seen the modern version of "Hamlet"?"

"Oh, this..."

"You really haven't seen it, have you?"

"Of course I've seen it. Isn't it the one who played it? I can't name it right now."

"Ethan Hawke."

"Yes, that's him. His eyes are very charming."

"It seems that Sister Xue has also seen it, so this is the end. A classic work can actually be interpreted in many ways and expressed in many ways. Wouldn't it be great for us to make some new attempts? "

"This... is really beautiful, beautiful."

Regarding the meeting with Sister Xue, it was naturally in Shen Fang's expectation. As for letting her watch the movie, it's not a big deal.

And speaking of Sister Xue's purpose... Shen Fang talked more about movies with her.

The "Hamlet" just mentioned is a film that was released two thousand years ago. This film is indeed very bold, and it has made a new adaptation of a classical tragedy.

Judging from the reviews after the movie was released, it is really mostly positive.

Of course, the entire lineup of this movie is also very strong.

Ethan Hawke, a powerful actor, is already famous now, and he has filmed many well-known movies. Among them, the "Love Trilogy" has only released two "Love Before Dawn" and "Love at Sunset" At Dusk, fans who prefer this series are waiting for the third part.

In addition, he also shot a very interesting work.

Some of them were translated into "Variants of Different Shas", and some were translated into "Geek Shot". These two names seem to have nothing to do with each other, and they are simply random translations.

The name of this movie is "GATTACA". If you only look at the English words, many people may feel that the translation of this name is impossible to start, but in fact, the name itself is not an English word.

This is actually a genetic sequence.

Therefore, if it is only from the perspective of English words, it cannot be translated.

But once you understand the deep meaning, you will immediately understand that the name is so clever and fits the movie so well.

Shen Fang just chatted with Sister Xue like this, and said that Sister Xue was in a daze.

"That... I think... this..."

Sister Xue was almost stuttering. How could she have seen so many films, and how could she know the things behind these films.

Shen Fang was talking frothy.

In fact, sometimes it is like this, talking about movies is more interesting than watching movies or making movies.

This kind of phenomenon actually occurs in many industries, such as basketball and football. Some commentators are full of enthusiasm and spray all kinds of things, and the work of spraying is gone.

And movies are even more powerful. Throughout the entire film history, film critics have always been an important part. Many well-known film festivals have special units for film critics.

Even in our country, the film critic system is not perfect, but there are still many film critics who bring their own dry food. Regardless of whether the scolding is right or not, the two comments have increased a lot of enthusiasm.

Shen Fang can not only direct and act in plays, but also talk about plays. Sister Xue is not an opponent at all, so she had to leave.

However, she is also a powerful person who will not forget her mission.

"Shen Fang, we should be opponents next time we meet."

"Sister Xue, I hope Hua Yi can focus on movies."

"Oh, what you said surprised me."

"really?"

"Really, ordinary people... Forget it, there is no delay, you and the two of them will have a good time filming."

"Sister Xue, what you said..."

"Haha...bye."

Unexpectedly, at the end, Sister Xue gave Shen Fang a powerful blow, which made him a little embarrassed.

After sending off Sister Xue, let's continue filming?

In fact, they have already completed a lot of work in "New Legend of the White Snake", and Shen Fang also pays more attention to special effects in this drama.

We need to use opera to express Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing's battle against Fahai, and the water floods Jinshan or something.

But it is not the original kind of opera, but computer special effects are added, and the special effects that have the feeling of Chinese ink painting are produced.

In short, Shen Fang remembered some wonderful scenes in "The Legend of the White Snake", so he simply shared these ideas with the special effects team.

Shen Fang still remembers the expressions of those young people at that time: that is, you, Boss Shen, we will not serve anyone else!

Fortunately, Shen Fang is based on the principle that if you give enough, you can create miracles.

What's more, he is also aggressively recruiting people, and the team is getting bigger and bigger.

It doesn't matter, there is "Tomorrow's War" next, probably such a movie needs at least a special effects team of more than [-] people.

In this way, "The New Legend of the White Snake" seems to be for everyone to practice, but right now, this practice film is endowed with more meaning.

"Sister Bing Bing's younger sister is not an ordinary person."

"Did she come in the afternoon?"

Liu Yifei and Xiaomi, who just played against each other with Shen Fang, obviously know something about Sister Xue.

The Li family sisters in the circle can be said to be famous, not only because of sister Bing Bing and Hua Yi's first sister, but also because of the inspirational story of this pair of sisters.

It must be admitted that in the early stages of the career of the Li family sisters, it was indeed an inspirational story that could be made into a movie.

Even, it can be written as a cool article on urban struggle at the starting point.

At the beginning, Sister Bing Bing really planned to be a teacher in her hometown. Although she has an outstanding appearance, as evidenced by the photos, her face has not moved (slightly squinting), but there is a high probability that she will be admitted to the establishment as a teacher. , this life has passed in peace and stability.

Who would have thought that the later two sisters would set off a wave of desperate San Niang in the entertainment circle.

Sister Bing Bing received a lot of films in the early days. It would be fine if she made movies. After all, the filming cycle of movies is relatively shorter, but she still received TV dramas.

It is really inspirational for the two sisters to have what they are today.

But now, after all, there has been a change. Sister Bingbing is already the first sister of Huayi, and Sister Xue is also a high-ranking member of Huayi.

The sisters now are completely different from before.

Compared with Shen Fang, they should be in the position of the enemy.

But now facing the White Snake and the Green Snake...

"Actually, even if it's a fight with Huayi, there's nothing wrong with it."

Shen Fang's words are full of confidence, which also makes Liu Yifei and Xiaomi like it in their hearts.

But is it really as Shen Fang said?
His words were not only heard by White Snake and Green Snake, but also by Lu Yang and the others.

There are not many dramas today, and there are not many people from the "New White Snake" team.

The three of them are the main actors, Lu Yang is the other cameraman, Xing Wei is the master of the lamp, and most of the others are classmates or old people from the company.

After hearing Shen Fang's words, everyone was very curious.

When Shen Fang saw this situation, he felt that it was time to chat, "We don't have many plays today, and the supper will come later, how about we chat while eating?"

Everyone nodded and said yes, it seems that no one doesn't like eating melons.

Soon, the lunch box was delivered, and everyone waited for Shen Fang to chat.

"In fact, I just want to tell a story. Do you like to listen? Do you like to listen? Or do you like to listen?"

Shen Fang, who was holding a plastic box, made everyone laugh with this opening remark.

"Oh, you can hurry up and talk about it." Lu Yang can be said to be very anxious.

Xiaomi and Liu Yifei were also very curious, but they glanced at each other, which was very meaningful.

Where did Shen Fang notice this? He immediately mentioned a well-known figure.

"Mr. Bruce Lee, everyone knows, right?"

"Of course!"

It should be said that as far as the internationally renowned Chinese stars are concerned, Bruce Lee was before Big Brother Long. Of course, we don't need to compare the influence of the two, which is not what Shen Fang wants to talk about this time.

"But do you know what happened back then? That is, after Mr. Bruce Lee was born, what happened to the Hong Kong film industry?"

This... many people are confused.

Especially Xiaomi and Liu Yifei, both of them were also holding lunch boxes, but they didn't think about eating at all, they just looked at Shen Fang.

I have to say it's Lu Yang, this guy has a postgraduate degree.

"I understand!" After finishing speaking, he slapped his thigh, "But let's talk about it."

Shen Fang smiled, and then told the story he wanted to tell.

In other words, when Mr. Bruce Lee was born, it was "Big Brother Tangshan".

This movie was produced by Jiahe at the time, but there are actually many inside stories in it.

First of all, Mr. Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to develop, and he first came into contact with Shaw Brothers at that time.

At that time, Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong was in full swing, and there was no other company in the limelight that could compare with it.

But the boss of this company is really stingy. Although Mr. Run Run Shaw has done a lot of good deeds, his stinginess has a far-reaching impact.

Those who made Shaw Brothers big together, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and other high-level executives, all ran away if they could.

After Golden Harvest was established, several of them offered a higher contract than Shaw Brothers and signed a contract with Mr. Bruce Lee.

So "Big Brother Tangshan" was born.

The film was an immediate success.

How did Shaw Brothers not get so angry at that time?
So, how did Shaw do it?

Golden Harvest and Mr. Bruce Lee still have two film contracts. For these two films, Shaw Brothers can be said to have produced their best.

This is true, so to speak, for competition, for grabbing the market, and for killing rivals in the cradle.

Shaw did his best!

This effort may be relatively general.

Specifically, Shaw's several gold medal directors, and even future newcomers, as well as all the famous stars.

Yes, all out.

The number one is Zhang Cheh. Mr. Zhang was already famous in Xiangjiang before. The first movie to break the box office of one million, "The One-armed Sword" is his work.

This time he shot two films at once, "Ma Yongzhen".

Many people don't quite understand the meaning of "Ma Yongzhen", and many movie fans only saw the later remake of this movie.

But in fact, this movie is the first gangster movie in Hong Kong. "Ma Yongzhen" invited Chen Guantai at the time. He is a real martial arts man and has won the championship in the boxing ring.

This film is naturally Director Zhang's usual style, shirtless, men fuck men, shirtless, men fuck men, shirtless, men fuck...

That's his style.

Another one, "Water Margin"!
Although this movie can be said to be the biography of Yan Qing, it mainly highlights Yan Qing, starring David Jiang, who can be said to be the son of Director Zhang.

However, this "Water Margin" is the work of Shaw Brothers.

All the male stars under the banner are all on stage!
In order to encircle and suppress Jiahe and Mr. Bruce Lee, this is powerful enough.

But it's not over yet.

At that time, Li Hanxiang happened to return to Shaw Brothers, and he also produced two films.

"Great Warlord".

This film was also remade later, but the original film made Li Hanxiang understand a truth.

Oh, so you guys like to watch scenes where female stars take off their clothes.

Since then, Li Hanxiang has vigorously made romantic films.

So "Fengyue Qitan" came out.

But is it over?

No no.

There is also a film that has been filmed before, which is "Fourteen Heroines" by Cheng Gang, Zhang Che's deadly rival.

Just hearing the name, you can understand that the target is Zhang Che's "Thirteen Taibao".

The film tells the story of the female generals of the Yang family, but it is a rare large-scale production in Hong Kong. The large-scale ancient war drama naturally uses almost all the female stars of Shaw Brothers.

But this is the end?
No!

A very famous director in the future, named Chu Yuan, although he is a fledgling, brought a work that was rated as one of the top 100 films in Hong Kong film history.

"Ai Nu".

This movie is really ahead of its time, and it combines elements of lesbian, sadomasochism, mother-in-law, detective, suspense and so on.

You can count the number of these films mentioned above, and this is all the wealth that Shaw Brothers could sell back then.

All the directors, all the male stars, all the female stars under the company all participated in the battle.

These works were all concentrated in the year 1972.

So, to encircle and suppress that film is...

"Fist of Fury"!
When the story came to this point, many people who didn't know much about the development of Hong Kong films back then listened with gusto.

At the same time, everyone is indeed quite emotional.

This is business competition, this is market grabbing, and this is how the bayonet hits the spotlight!
After Shen Fang finished speaking, he just smiled.

"But let's look at it from another angle. This competition has also promoted the development of Hong Kong films, and many new types of films have appeared. It will leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese film!
At least, it will promote the emergence of science fiction blockbusters! "

Shen Fang said this with arrogance, although the whole crew was not many people, but the atmosphere was screaming.

"That's right! That's awesome!"

"Can we really come up with such a meaningful thing?"

"Why are you like Xu Sanduo, brother Fang will definitely do it if he says yes!"

"Then, can we win then?"

Well, that's a good question, can you win?

Shen Fang didn't speak, just smiled.

But some people can understand.

Lu Yang laughed loudly and didn't say much, "Wait a minute, let's continue filming."

As for Xiaomi and Liu Yifei, their eyes met and they both laughed.

What are they laughing at?

Of course I understood.

In 1972, it was true that the Shaw Brothers went out to encircle Golden Harvest and Mr. Bruce Lee, but which one was the most famous movie of that year?
In other words, which movie was the final success?
"Fist of Fury"!
Shen Fang is comparing himself to Mr. Bruce Lee?
Of course he didn't dare, but at least he was really not afraid of Hua Yi, he still had this kind of pride!
　I'm sorry, I didn't stop writing this chapter, it's a bit late, please forgive me, but there are still a lot of words, thank you all.
