The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 165 Zhuang Wenqiang Watches "Signal"

"An important breakthrough in cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan, Fenghua Film and Television Company is an example for all film and television production companies."

"The Ministry of Culture mainly commends Fenghua Film and Television Company. Fenghua dramas represent the latest production level in the Mainland."

"Li Shengyao said that "Da Shang Gong" will start soon, and it will be a large-scale inspirational drama for women in ancient costumes."

""Signal" will premiere in two days, let's watch a new criminal investigation drama together."

"Shonan Satellite TV warmly celebrates the sale of "Full House" to Brazil, saying that this is just the beginning."

"Fenghua Film and Television Company will continue to produce Portuguese-language TV series to help mainland film and television dramas go abroad."

The hottest news in the mainland in the past few days is that Fenghua Film and Television Company has sold five TV series in one go. The buyer is still from Global TV in Brazil. Basically, when you open a newspaper or TV in the mainland, you will soon see this news.

That night, in a five-star hotel suite in Yanjing.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking quite gentle looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Fenghua Film and Television Company is so meme."

This middle-aged man is the director Zhuang Wenqiang from Hong Kong Island.

This time, he and Liu Dehua went north to Yanjing to visit the relevant leaders of China Film Group, hoping that they can help "Infernal Affairs" to be released in the mainland as soon as possible.

The production of "Infernal Affairs" has come to an end.

Directors Zhuang Wenqiang and Mai Zhaohui are very satisfied. They think this will be a cross-generational police film.

At this time, the film broadcasting system for mainland Hong Kong and Taiwan has not yet been introduced, and Hong Kong and Taiwan films are still imported films, subject to the annual quota of imported films.

It is difficult for ordinary Hong Kong Island movies to enter the mainland, and it is even more difficult to premiere at the same time as Hong Kong Island.

Not necessarily if you have a relationship though.

For example, the comedy "Unparalleled World" at the beginning of this year, which was invested by Shanghai Film Group, was released in Hong Kong Island within five days, followed by the mainland, and finally achieved a box office of 4000 million.

This makes other Hong Kong Island filmmakers very envious.

However, "Unparalleled World" has Wang Fei, Zhao Yanzi, and the investment of Shanghai Film Studio, so it is only natural that they are taken care of.

But "Infernal Affairs" is different. This movie is completely capitalized by Hong Kong Island.

Zhuang Wenqiang actually didn't have much confidence in this trip to the north, mainly because they had no contacts in the mainland in the past

At this moment, he looked at the newspaper and couldn't help being envious. If he had Lee Shengyao's status, it should be smooth sailing and he could easily get the screening rights.

"Today's "Signal" premieres, let's watch his TV series."

Zhuang Wenqiang then turned on the TV and tuned to Suzhou Satellite TV.

It was not yet [-]:[-], and an advertisement was being played.

Zhuang Wenqiang opened a can of beer, then drank while waiting.

Soon "Signal" started. The theme song was not a song, but a piece of pure music with a fast rhythm and very exciting listening.

Zhuang Wenqiang nodded, he felt that the title was not bad.

Soon after, the TV series officially started, first telling the story of [-], and then jumping to [-].

One is to describe the young policeman in [-], and the other is to tell about his childhood. In addition, there is also the experience of the old policeman in [-].

At the beginning, it can be said that the three lines are played cross-playing, but the arrangement of the three lines is reasonable and clear, and it will not make people confused.

Zhuang Wenqiang nodded. He felt that the director was very good and the editing was very good.

Moreover, the pictures in the two different times are different. The pictures in 2002 are brighter, while the pictures in [-] seem to be dyed with a layer of hazy sunset. It looks warm and old.

Zhuang Wenqiang became more and more satisfied the more he watched it. He felt that the director of this drama was very good.

"Is this the drama made by Li Shengyao from Fenghua Film and Television Company? It really is very good, young people are really extraordinary."

He didn't expect to see such an excellent TV series when he came to the mainland.

Not to mention the plot, this editing, as well as the camera, are excellent.

He used to be on Hong Kong Island, and sometimes watched TVB dramas. He felt that TVB dramas were quite satisfactory and had no bright spots.

The rhythm is especially bad.

TVB shoots criminal investigation dramas every year. The biggest problem is not that the cases are plagiarized and cannot withstand scrutiny, but that the rhythm is very bad.

TVB's criminal investigation dramas almost all have an inherent routine. The hero and heroine encountered some emotional problems, and at the same time the case happened, the hero solved the case and solved their emotional problems at the same time.

Almost every case in the world involves the heroine.

Regardless of the heroine's occupation, whether she has anything to do with the case or not, she has to be brought in, so that in one of their dramas, [-]% of the plot is to solve the case, and [-]% is emotional drama.

Strange to say, there are almost no pure love movies in TVB TV series, and there are no idol dramas that describe the relationship between men and women.

They like to embed love plots in business war dramas, criminal investigation dramas, or workplace dramas.

The result of this is that there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and the plot is procrastinated.

Many criminal investigation dramas remove the role of the heroine, which has no effect at all.

But they just like to add a lot of emotional scenes to criminal investigation dramas.

Zhuang Wenqiang doesn't like this. For a film director like him, he hopes that every shot and every picture contains rich information.

Not just—"Did you have dinner?"

"No, I'll feed you next time."

"Morning, Uncle Zhong."

"Morning, Laozi."

TVB likes this very much. From the time the hero and heroine wake up in the morning and start filming, they have to take pictures when they say hello to the uncles and aunts on the way. All the way to the workplace, it can take four to five minutes.

But such a plot makes no sense.

Such lines and pictures are useless in the eyes of Lao Zhuang.

At this time, he found that every scene in "Signal" has a wealth of information. The two male protagonists and one female protagonist advanced very quickly in the first case.

The heroine likes the old policeman, but it's just a flash of the scene, and there is an affectionate look after she is brought to her, and she doesn't elaborate.

In short, everything is for the sake of the plot, just to create a tense and urgent atmosphere, which makes people feel suspenseful, and even doesn't want to go to the bathroom, for fear of missing a certain detail.

The more Zhuang Wenqiang watched it, the more surprised she became, and the more she watched it, the more she liked it.

In the film and television industry of Hong Kong Island, a group of directors who make movies can make the plot so coherent and compact, which is very rare.

Many gangster films on Hong Kong Island also have a lot of messy and very boring plots.

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't help thinking, "This director's level is more than enough to make a movie. I wonder if he wants to go to Hong Kong Island?"

"But...he is from the mainland..."

After all, Lao Zhuang is a Hong Kong Island director, and there is still some estrangement for mainland directors.

After all, everyone had little communication in the past, so he just knew that Lao Mouzi's pictures were beautiful, and Poet Chen had a very temper.

"Let's forget it. Hong Kong Island's movies are no longer good, and local directors have nothing to eat."
