Rebirth of the Burning Era

Several of the people present did not know Chen Kexin. Feng Gang had a more personal appearance. Shi Yuzhu met him and said hello.

As for Zhang Manyu, although they have never met, they all know each other.

She won the award with two literary films, 'The Woman Who Never Takes Off Her Socks' and 'Ruan Lingyu', but she is really well-known in the mainland, but it is a movie and a TV show.

The movie is a police story with Jackie Chan, and the TV series is about Yang Jiajiang, who cooperated with Andy Lau and other TVB stars. These two plays are suitable for all ages, and they have great influence in the mainland.

In the early 1990s, there was a huge lack of entertainment activities in mainland China, the production of films was low, and there was a big gap between Hong Kong and Taiwan films in terms of entertainment, so Hong Kong and Taiwan films were very popular at that time. Ordinary people, like Liang Yifei, Shi Yuzhu, or even so-called successful entrepreneurs of Zong Qinghou's age, basically rent videotapes to watch movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Later, when the technical conditions were better, they rented vcd.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, Zhang Manyu is definitely a character that cannot be avoided. She has a very high appearance rate. After the popularity of police stories, she has appeared in a series of popular movies.

Tale of Two Cities, Plan A, Xinlongmen Inn, Shuanglonghui, Jigong, Xinlongmen Inn... Almost all of the top male stars in Xiangjiang have acted in dramas, and any one of them is the memory of the entire generation or even generations. Even old comrades like Zong Qinghou have seen her movies, and more than one.

She and Chen Kexin got off the car, and even Zong Fuli and Shi Jing, who were playing at the side, widened their eyes.

The two little girls looked up at her, and she smiled brightly at them and said, "Hello."

"Yo, it seems that I don't need to introduce this beauty." Feng Gang smiled and said, "This is Director Chen, the hero behind the scenes."

"You're praising yourself by the way." Liang Yifei reached out to Chen Kexin and said, "Director Chen, Ms. Zhang, welcome. Let me introduce you two..."

After a brief introduction, Chen Kexin spoke straight to the point in very non-standard Mandarin. He wanted to make a movie about the changes between the two places, but he lacked investment.

After a few conversations about the idea, as expected, it is really sweet, this is a movie with a literary and artistic orientation.

The investment in the whole movie is not very big, but this type of movie is generally not optimistic. Although Ruan Lingyu won the Cannes Award before, she did not even enter the top 20 in the box office list of Hong Kong movies that year, and the export data is even more so. Dismal, earlier, the 'Woman Who Doesn't Take Off Her Socks' in which Maggie Cheung went from a vase to a real actor is less well-known, not to mention the mainland, even many local people in Xiangjiang have not heard of it.

"Director Chen, I take the liberty to ask a question." Liang Yifei nodded slightly, glanced at Feng Gang first, and then said: "As far as I know, although literary and artistic films do not make money, Hong Kong is a place where a hundred flowers bloom, and there is a living space for literary and artistic films. Even when director Wong Kar-wai made one film and lost another, he could continue to make another film and still make another. Your play has your reputation, there are big names like Miss Zhang and Li Tianwang, and there is Mr. Zeng Zhiwei behind it. How can you think of coming to the mainland to raise money?”

It is said that without box office, there is no investment in literary films. There is no such problem in Hong Kong, but it is just that investment is more difficult. The last time Feng Gang mentioned this matter, Liang Yifei felt a little strange at that time, because it was empty in the original, and the filming and release of Sweet Honey finally started smoothly.

"Mr. Liang, I have to thank Director Feng for giving me inspiration." Chen Kexin smiled slightly, although he came to ask for money, but his attitude was not humble. It can be seen that Liang Yifei was right, this guy is very confident, he said: "I The last time I met Director Feng was on the set, he was shooting a movie with a script written by you, Party A and Party B, after I read the script, I felt that this movie was very different from the previous movies made in mainland China."

"Oh? You can still write scripts?" Zong Qinghou and Shi Yuzhu on the side were stunned, looking at Liang Yifei strangely, Zong Fuli suddenly said: "Oh, then Uncle Liang will definitely make up stories to deceive people!"

Children speak innocently, often in a sentence, several adults can't help laughing, Liang Yifei glared his eyes and said, "I ate half of my crocodile for nothing! I won't eat it next time!"

Zong Fuli pouted and made a face.

"How is this movie different from previous Chinese movies?" Shi Yuzhu asked.

"Well... I personally feel that the previous Chinese films are meaningful, and this film is interesting. Or to put it this way, there were also some interesting films in mainland China in the past, but the ultimate purpose is to express meaning, and this film, Although there are some touching and meaningful places, the purpose is to make the audience feel that it is very interesting."

Chen Kexin said a lot, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "My Chinese is not very good, I don't know if I can express it clearly."

"It's very clear and accurate." Liang Yifei nodded and said, "But what does this have to do with Sweet Honey coming to the mainland to find investors?"

Chen Kexin said: "The fact that this film can pass the censorship shows that the reform and opening up in mainland China is really moving in a good direction, which gives us great confidence in the creators of Hong Kong. 97 is coming soon, and it is foreseeable that the time will come. There will definitely be a large number of Xiangjiang creators to communicate with the mainland. I discussed it with eric... oh, Mr. Zeng Zhiwei, it is better for us to take the lead and cooperate and contact with the mainland first, so as to lay a good foundation for the future. The play also happens to be about mainlanders going to Hong Kong, so it’s an opportunity.”

He talked about a lot of exchanges and creations. Liang Yifei and Shi Yuzhu understood them. This is a filmmaker from Hong Kong. They realized that the mainland market is a huge cake in the future, and they want to share the cake~www.readwn.com ~ In the past, the mainland's film review system caused Xiangjiang movies to be stuck outside the door. Pure entertainment films like Party A and Party B passed the review, making Hong Kong people with a keen sense of smell realize that the opportunity has come.

Dividing the pie is of course the first thing to do, and the most and the largest is also the earliest.

To put it bluntly, Sweet Honey is not short of money, but the investment money should preferably come from the mainland. The actors, directors and crew are from Hong Kong. This is cross-strait co-production.

"What does Miss Zhang think of the mainland movie market?" Liang Yifei suddenly asked Zhang Manyu.

Zhang Manyu smiled lightly and said, "Although I am from the mainland, I moved to Hong Kong with my family since I was a child. When I was a little sensible, I went to study in the UK. After I came back, I have been making movies. I really don't know much about the mainland..."

Politely, he nodded slightly to the bosses, and then continued: "But I am Chinese after all, and it was inconvenient to come back before, but now I have the conditions, and I still hope to come to the mainland to have a look, there is a quarter of the world here. There are hundreds of people in the area of ​​Xiangjiang, I think there must be many interesting friends and interesting things, so I am looking forward to it.”

On the big screen, Zhang Manyu often plays pungent roles, but in reality, she has been very strict with her family since she was a child, and she went to a girls' school in the UK. After that, he nodded slightly to a few people.

"Well, since everyone is looking forward to it, if I don't invest, wouldn't I be a villain?" Liang Yifei laughed and said, "Director Feng, you should cooperate with Director Chen on this matter."
