Movie tycoon

Chapter 604 Brainstorm "School Police Sniper" (Part [-])
Beer, drinks, fresh juices.

Chen Xiaotang, Liu Dehua, Ye Zimei and others were discussing the plot of "Infernal Affairs" while drinking various things.

The fat man was busy pouring wine, wiping the table, and wiping sweat. He didn't understand why he became a waiter running errands, serving these guys.

During the discussion, Chen Xiaotang suddenly mentioned the movie topic of "undercover".Liu Dehua and others spoke enthusiastically. Everyone said that this theme will definitely become popular because of "Infernal Affairs", and Hong Kong may follow suit and shoot a series of undercover movies.

Chen Xiaotang nodded, feeling very helpless.Hong Kong movies have followed the trend for a long time. In the previous life, the wave of zombie movies started with "Uncle Zombie", the wave of martial arts movies started with "Invincible in the East", and the wave of nonsense started with "Love Saint". It can be said that the entire Hong Kong movie The history of development is a series of film follow-up history.Often when a show becomes popular, people will push their heads to get closer to it, regardless of whether the audience is tired of it or not, first make money at the box office, and no one will consider whether it will directly destroy the subject matter.

Today, "Infernal Affairs" is still being filmed, but Hua Tsai and the others have already anticipated what will happen in the future, which makes Chen Xiaotang worried whether he will kill this subject because of his "advance" script in advance.If that was the case, he would be a sinner through the ages.

But looking back, even if I don't create it in advance, this play will still be used as a specimen for plagiarism in the future, and there is still nothing I can do.

After pinching a grape and throwing it into the mouth, Chen Xiaotang asked the big guys: "Since you guessed that there will be a follow-up, is there any good way to prevent it?"

Andy shook his head, "It can't be prevented, you are not the king of the film industry, you can't control the entire market, even the governor of Hong Kong!"

"That's right," Huang Rihua said, "It's like when you were in the hospital, Yongsheng Entertainment took the opportunity to make a movie about your assassination, and cast Huang Qiusheng as the starring role in the crazy guy, and the other party became famous because of it... Hong Kong In this way, the market is too free and economical, and you have no resistance.”

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help nodding. He felt somewhat displeased about this matter. While he was still lying on the hospital bed, Yongsheng took the opportunity to make money. He thought about protesting, but the Hong Kong film market does not allow you to control it alone, let alone Yongsheng's side. You're not an idiot, they already typed the words "purely fictional, any similarity is purely coincidental" in the movie, and directly blocked your mouth.

At this time, Liang Chaowei, who had been moaning and not saying a word, coughed and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you follow the trend or not, the important thing is whether you can bring this kind of theme to the extreme..."

This casual sentence made Chen Xiaotang's eyes light up, "Wei Zi, what do you mean..."

Liang Chaowei smiled shyly and said, "It's very simple, as long as we do the best in this kind of subject matter regardless of film and television, then why worry about others following suit?"

"Do the best?!" Chen Xiaotang touched his chin with his hand.

Liang Chaowei continued: "Just like the "Falcon" that Hua Tsai and I starred in, it is also about undercover agents. This TV series is very popular with everyone. If we can continue to release such excellent movies or TV series, then the audience If people’s appreciation level will definitely increase, then there will be no market for bad movies that follow suit, so what are we worried about?”

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Chen Xiaotang laughed out loud.

The others laughed too.

Liang Chaowei was rather at a loss, "Why, did I say something wrong?"

"No, you're not wrong! It's us who are too bad to understand such a simple truth, ha ha!"

At this time, the fat man who was serving as a waiter came over with fruit juice. Seeing them smiling happily, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at, so happy?"

Chen Xiaotang rolled his eyes at him, "It's none of your business, go, order some takeaway!"

"Oh!" The fat man was about to turn around when he suddenly said, "Cho, why should I listen to you, this is my home, and you are all masters!"

Everyone laughed again.

Next, everyone talked about the key points, what kind of TV series or movies to shoot?

Chen Xiaotang felt that it would be OK to shoot the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy for movies. As for TV dramas, it's better for everyone to brainstorm and see if there are any good stories...
Chen Xiaotang clearly remembered that when New Art City first started its business, Huang Boming, Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei and other seven people often got together to work night shifts, discussing scripts and stories. Good stories continue to be produced and good movies come out.

After the last recording incident, Chen Xiaotang realized that he had taken too much power and made the entire Moying Entertainment follow his lead. This is a very wrong way. He must mobilize the minds of the entire company. The company belongs to everyone, not No matter how strong an individual is, there are times when there will be a generational gap. Only when the strengths of the company's owners are brought together and brought into play, can the company develop for a long time.

So from now on, Chen Xiaotang intends to look at the "New Art City Model", concentrate his wisdom, and develop the company.

Sure enough, as soon as this topic came out, there was a lot of discussion among Hua Tsai and others. No one had ever asked them about this matter before. Many directors or bosses usually yelled at them: "You are actors, be yourself. Just do your job, don't worry about it so much!"

But actors are also human beings, not props, let alone puppets. They also have the desire to create and express themselves. Who doesn’t want to give it a try when they have the opportunity.

But now, Chen Xiaotang gave them a chance.Even the busty girl Ye Zimei, who was tricked by the fat man's rhetoric into the industry, couldn't help but put forward some suggestions of her own.

Among them, Liu Dehua suddenly said: "In fact, we can still shoot a policeman movie similar to the theme of "Falcon", and add black and white confrontation to it, and gradually lead to the topic of undercover..."

Hearing what Liu Dehua said, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but think of the classic sniper TV series in Hong Kong in his previous life.And her own name, Lafite, also comes from the male protagonist "Liang Xiaotang". Could it be that all of this is God's will? !

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaotang said some of his thoughts, and revealed a little bit about the plot of the story.

After hearing this, Liu Dehua and others shouted "Hello."

"A Tang, this story is not bad. The undercover agent is also called Lafite, which is the same as your English name. What a gimmick!"

"Yeah, you really deserve to be a genius, and you came up with a good idea so quickly!"

Seeing that everyone was holding Chen Xiaotang up to the sky, Wang Jing, the fat man who was acting as a laborer, interjected, "What is this? I had a better plot, but it's a pity that I was overqualified and ordered by you to order takeaway!"

Everyone despised.

Seeing being praised by others, Chen Xiaotang secretly said: "I'm ashamed!" I said that I wanted to hide my clumsiness, but in the end I couldn't help it... This person must strictly restrain himself.

Next, everyone started to perfect the script of "Sneak Attack". Chen Xiaotang intentionally talked less and guided more, which made everyone enthusiastic, and within a short time, he actually worked out the outline of this TV series.

Fatty Wang Jing once again acted as the working people, and recorded the story with a pen. When the big guy yawned, he realized that it was already dawn.

It's been a long time since I created this happily. Chen Xiaotang told everyone to take a good rest, but he rushed to TVB to continue filming.

His hard work is there for all to see.

When leaving, the fat man said to Chen Xiaotang: "Ah Tang, you don't have to work so hard, the filming will never be finished!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "Who made my life miserable, being a star is not easy!"

The fat man shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, I gave up my dream of being a star early in the morning and changed my career to become a director!"

.......
TVB, "Xiao Li Fei Dao" crew.

Recently, TVB launched an overwhelming promotion for this drama, especially under the gimmick of "Chen Xiaotang's last drama in Hong Kong", which attracted countless entertainment media to report on this drama.

So much so that the shooting progress had to be slowed down because of the harassment of these media reporters.

However, Chen Xiaotang's time is limited, especially fulfilling the contract to shoot this TV series is enough to give TVB face. TVB also considered the actual situation and adopted the method of blocking the filming, prohibiting reporters from interviewing and prohibiting the public from visiting. In short, the entire crew is protected. to speed up shooting.

And Chen Xiaotang also gave five days, and TVB concentrated on gathering all of Chen Xiaotang's scenes together, and prepared to finish filming in one go.

Inside the shooting scene.

Now the whole drama has filmed the highlight of "Xiao Li Feidao vs. Shangguan Jinhong".

Producer: Xiao Sheng

Director: Du Qifeng
Original: Gu Long

Martial arts instructor: Dong Wei

Cast: Chen Xiaotang plays Li Xunhuan; Wan Ziliang plays Shangguan Jinhong; Deng Cuiwen plays Lin Xianer...

For a super big star like Chen Xiaotang, the film remuneration for filming has risen to 600 million, even surpassing his big brother Cheng Long. As for the TV remuneration, it is even more difficult to estimate, so for such a superstar, TVB has to come up with A big director came to "press the field", lest he play a big game, and ordinary people can't handle it.

The two who can be called great directors in TVB are nothing more than Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng. Among them, Wang Tianlin has "the kindness" to Chen Xiaotang, so he is the most suitable candidate. However, the old man is not feeling well recently --- I don't know Did he go to a nightclub to make a fuss? Helpless, TVB had no choice but to let Xiao Sheng sit in "Little Li Feidao" as the director of this play.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Xiaotang didn't intend to play big names at all, even since filming, he kept things light and simple, and didn't even bring a personal assistant, which was in contrast to those giants who like to show off.

It also made Wireless a little bit embarrassed. I have prepared so much here, and I have to pick and choose. It turns out that the circle is useless.
