Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 187 Finalizing the Script
After returning to Yingyang Entertainment, Zhang Yang immediately started writing the script.

Although it takes a short period of time from signing the ancestral spirit agreement to switching to the cinema studio to change the brand name film industry, the gap period during this period can be used by Zhang Yang to shoot new films. As for the lack of studios, it has to be Zhang Yang figured out his own solution.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang is used to limited funds and limited space.

As long as you find the right script, these problems can be completely solved.

Sitting in front of the large desk, Zhang Yang meditated for a long time before finally writing the beginning slowly.

One day, Flying Tigers police officer Zhang Yi received an order from his superiors to conduct a raid on the dens in Kowloon Walled City...

That's right, what Zhang Yang is going to shoot this time and regard as Ying Yang Entertainment's first blockbuster to open in the new theater chain is "The Raid", which is known as the best action movie in South Asia.

But in order for the audience to feel more involved, Zhang Yang naturally wanted to treat the background and characters in a Hong Kong style.

According to the new script, the protagonist's name was changed to Cheung Yee, and his position was a member of the Flying Tigers. The overall film's background was also changed to 1974, the first year that the sharpshooters originally selected from Hong Kong Island were changed to the Flying Tigers.

The goal of the mission has also changed from the original raid on a building to a raid on a hideout inside the Kowloon Walled City.

Following this line of thinking, Zhang Yang quickly finished writing the script for his first "Raid".

However, immediately after writing the script, Zhang Yang did not immediately gather people to prepare for the filming. Instead, he made a phone call to make an appointment with Chen Huimin, and directly handed the script to him and asked what he wanted.

The script is set in 74, and the Kowloon Walled City is such a sensitive place. If you prepare to start filming without thinking, you may offend the wrong people.

Just like Lu Liangwei had to go to Stanley to find his idol to pay homage to the dock before filming "The Lame Man", Zhang Yang invited Chen Huimin over for two things. First, to clear the relationship in advance so that the film can be stable. The second step is to use his interpersonal relationships to carve out a location in the Kowloon Walled City where the film can be filmed.

In the box of the nightclub.

After reading the script provided by Zhang Yang, Chen Huimin held her teacup and thought for a long time.

Stanley is easy to sort out. After all, there is no name in the script, and the position of the biggest villain in the film is obviously not enough to reach the head of Lai Hao. He is the level of Lai Hao's big boss, so he has to deal with it a little bit. Just two sentences and you'll be done.

What was really difficult was the filming at Kowloon Walled City.

As we entered the 80s, the police crackdown became more and more severe. Today, Kowloon Walled City has accumulated a large number of desperate people, and the power of social groups is deeply rooted in this area. Even the police patrolling the streets have become more and more severe. Won't take a step inside.

You can imagine how difficult it is to shoot a video safely here.

After holding her chin in thought for a long time, Chen Huimin really thought of someone.

He put down the teacup and whispered to Zhang Yang: "In this case, I will take you to see someone later. If you can convince him, then we can still talk about this matter. If he can't get through this, there is nothing I can do."

Although she didn't know who Chen Huimin planned to take her to see, it was better to have a connection than to have no choice. Zhang Yang nodded.

……

That afternoon, under Chen Huimin's guidance, Zhang Yang followed him to a church.

Looking at the door of the church, Zhang Yang was even more confused. It could be seen that Chen Huimin had straightened her clothes first. Zhang Yang didn't ask too many questions, so he had to follow him all the way to the church.

Perhaps because of greetings in advance, there was no one else in the church. There was only a man dressed as a priest, standing in front of the stage, crossing himself at the statue of Jesus, praying in a low voice, and waiting for him to lift it up again. After starting, Chen Huimin slowly spoke. "Brother Shen, I brought over the friend I talked about yesterday. Are you interested in the film and television industry? It just so happens that I can meet you."

Upon hearing this, the priest turned his head and met Zhang Yang's eyes.

Looking at his face, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the name of the person in front of him.

Chen Shenzhi!
In Young and Dangerous, the prototype of a priest!

I really didn’t expect that after Chen Huimin talked for a long time, the person she wanted to see in the end was actually him!
Just when Zhang Yang was stunned and hadn't recovered yet, Chen Shenzhi had already smiled and spoke.

"Isn't that Zhang Yang, okay, okay, you are young and promising. I have watched many of your scenes. To be honest, I am a movie fan here. Amin, you don't need to be too reserved when you come to my place. Sit down. .”

Under Chen Shenzhi's greeting, the three of them sat in front of the bench in the front row of the church. Chen Huimin continued to introduce with a smile: "I am at 14K, considered the fourth generation, and Brother Shen is the third generation. Don't worry. Seeing that Brother Shen is so polite now, back then he was the famous boss of the Thirteenth Taibao in Tsz Wan Mountain and the shack master of Kowloon City. If we come to him for today's matter, there will definitely be no problem for him to come forward this time."

The Thirteen Taibao of Ciyun Mountain...

This name is familiar to everyone who has watched the "Young and Dangerous" series.

As for the meaning of the Kowloon City District Pengye, Zhang Yang was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask.

Faced with Chen Huimin's compliments, Chen Shenzhi said calmly: "It's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about. How many generations, now 14K, everyone is not following you, Amin. Don’t talk about these boring things.”

Having said this, Chen Shenzhi paused and turned to look at Zhang Yang.

"I heard from Amin that you want to find a location in Kowloon Walled City to shoot a movie?"

"Yes."

"Okay, for such a long time, no one in Hong Kong is willing to mention the Walled City. You are very brave to focus on this place that no one wants to talk about. By the way, what about the script of the film? Can you Can you show me first?"

Zhang Yang took out the script he had prepared and handed it to Chen Shenzhi.

He is not too worried about the content of the script, because although the film "The Raid 1" depicts the eerie environment, the film does not unilaterally point the finger at a certain villain, but directly points the finger at the top and bottom. The problem of collusion.

This kind of thing that not only pokes holes in the British Hong Kong government but also pokes some pain points in the society is actually not objectionable at the society level.

On the contrary, they sometimes deliberately exaggerate the description in this regard to explain their desperate predicament.

Therefore, after reading the script, Chen Shenzhi didn't say anything more. He just handed the script back to Zhang Yang and then said softly: "This script is quite good. It's not one-sided. It's very good. I'm looking for a filming location in the Kowloon Walled City. I can help, but I also have a small matter, and I hope you can give me some advice."

coming!

Zhang Yang knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"If you need my help, Father Chen can tell you directly."
