215 Huashan on the Sword

Invest in movies and shoot commercials?

Yuan Yangan suddenly became interested.

Now he has a kind of confusion about Zhou Wenqiang's commercials.

Although "The World of Lies" is excellent, even the most demanding film critics believe that the pre-set commercials add a lot of color to the film, and the shooting skills and exquisite pictures that transcend this era are vividly expressed in this commercial that lasts only a few minutes long, and even play a role in driving the box office.

"Wen Qiang, do you want to invest in a martial arts movie?"

After looking at the Ming Pao in front of him, Yuan Yangan was a little expectant and worried.

Before Shao Yifu returned to Hong Kong to establish Shaw Brothers Pictures and appointed famous martial arts directors such as Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che, there were not without martial arts movies in Hong Kong. The "father-son company" established by Shao Laoer on Hong Kong has filmed many martial arts movies, including "Fang Shiyu and Miao Cuihua" and "Burning Shaolin Temple" among them.

However, in the Hong Kong film industry dominated by the romantic and Cantonese films, most of these martial arts films are small productions. In the eyes of famous directors, they are simply works that cost a lot of money, and it is even better to just put opera films on the screen.

It is conceivable that in this era where there were neither computer stunts nor professional martial arts teams, the so-called martial arts movies were similar to children's house play, and many actors' skills were not as good as opera actors.

Although he knew that Zhou Wenqiang was very rich, Yuan Yangan, the big brother, couldn't bear to see his money was wasted in vain.

"Brother Yuan, I know what you are worried about, but you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "There is a popular serial of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and the renewal of the Dragon Saber, the The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy has always been very popular. I counted it and there are at least more than 500,000 loyal readers in Hong Kong."

"This movie takes the essence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", called Huashan Sword Contest. Not only does it require full-color shooting, but some pictures also require two or even three cameras. For this reason, I have ordered a new color camera, and I will arrive in Hong Kong in just one week."

"Wen Qiang, you ordered another color camera? You can also shoot in three cameras!"

Yuan Yangan felt dizzy and thought to himself, "You can get another color camera, can I live my life?"

"Brother Yuan doesn't have to worry. I will invest 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in this "Huashan Sword Contest" to create a big cast and a big production. In addition, The Legend of the Condor Heroes itself is a big IP, and the box office is just around the corner."

Zhou Wenqiang thought about it and said: "The decline of martial arts movies in Hong Kong now is not because of the problem of martial arts themes, but because there is no big IP as a support. In addition, most actors do not have the foundation of kung fu, and the shooting is like a child fighting, and the effect is of course not good. This time I will check from editors, directors, actors and other aspects to shoot a great work that is twenty years ahead of the times!"

"In addition, I will personally play the protagonist Guo Jing, and Huang Rong will be played by Xiao Meng. In addition, I asked my senior brother Ip Man to play Duan Huangye, Hong Zhennan to play Hong Qigong, Western Poison Ouyang Feng will be played by a master of national martial arts called Jinshan, Baihemen Wu Zhong plays Zhou Botong, and Gossip Xingyimen to play Yinggu..."

Ip Man, Hong Zhennan, Wu Zhong?

Yuan Yangan was stunned.

These are all famous masters of national martial arts in Hong Kong. With these people co-starring, they are guaranteed to be full of gimmicks... This is what Brother Zhou calls the big cast?

Good guy, that is, Brother Zhou, if another producer is replaced, who has the ability to invite these masters of national arts?

As for what big IP, he has never heard of it. Anyway, he is not clear about it, so he is embarrassed to ask more questions...

Xia Meng had two prawn dumplings stuffed into her mouth, and her eyes were shining. She could hear clearly just now that she would play Huang Rong!

Finally, I'm going to be the protagonist!

Since she joined Great Wall Pictures, she has not yet shown her strengths in the commercial of Wanglaoji Herbal Tea, and she has no work to show off. She is still a real newcomer. She is almost crazy to be the protagonist!

Now it is a big cast, a big IP, or a big production with an investment of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars... All fools know that anyone who enters this kind of movie will become famous! What's more, she is also a loyal fan of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and she really likes the bright and lively pretty Huang Rong in the book.

What made her happiest was that Zhou Wenqiang wanted to star in her "Brother Jing", which was a very good opportunity.

In fact, Xia Meng had already figured it out and had to strive for his own happiness!

What's so great about Bai Yue'e? She said that she met Brother Zhou earlier than her! She used to be a little bitch to Zhou Wenqiang, but she was just a girlish feeling, and she wasn't really angry.

"Brother Zhou, thank you for giving me a chance. Then we have decided that the role of Huang Rong is mine!"

Xia Meng smiled at Zhou Wenqiang and let go of his past grudges.

"What, you are finally willing to smile at me?"

Zhou Wenqiang laughed and said, "That's right. Now you are a bit pretty Huang Rong."

Yuan Yangan secretly looked at Zhou Wenqiang and Xia Meng, and was also secretly happy for the two children, and said with a smile: "Wenqiang, if you have Rong'er, have you ignored the 'old father-in-law'? There are three of the four great masters in the world, and where is the actor of Huang Laoxie?"

"The actor who plays Dongxie not only needs to have skills, but also needs to have a meritorious position, be able to be handsome, and be handsome enough in terms of image..."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "There is a famous mainland actor named Yu Zhanyuan. He should have come to Hong Kong Island a few years ago. He is suitable for playing Dongxie in both image and skills. Brother Yuan often deals with people in the opera industry. I wonder if he has heard his name?"

"Is it him?"

Yuan Yangan nodded after hearing this and said, "Master Yu and Pink Juhua are both very famous in the Hong Kong film industry, but they have cooperated more with the Shao family's 'Father and Son Film' and have never cooperated with us yet. 'Father and Son Film Company' is still our competitors..."

"It doesn't matter. Master Yu and Fan Juhua are both famous actors of the generation. At most, they only work with the Shao family. They cannot be their contracted actors. Since the Shao family and Great Wall are in a competitive relationship, there is no need to be polite. Just dig their corners directly."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "To show respect, I will personally invite these two famous actors. Pink Juhua is just right for playing Mei Chaofeng. With the two of them joining, this drama will be perfect."

Yu Zhanyuan and Pink Juhua are both famous. One is a master who taught the "Seven Little Fu" that influenced Hong Kong Kung Fu movies for thirty years.

One was the female hero who later established a fan class and taught Lin Zhengying, Xiao Fangfang, Zunlong, Luo Jiaying and other big shots in the film industry.

As long as you hold these two people in your hands, will the seven little blessings and the fan family be the dishes in the bowl sooner or later?

However, these two famous actors are both old-fashioned people, and they talk about the word "ritual". Since they have a friendship with the Shao family, it is still difficult for Great Wall to invite them, so Zhou Wenqiang decided to take action himself.

"Brother Yuan, I will hand over the script to you as soon as possible. To be honest, this "Huashan Sword Contest" has a great deal to me. I hope it can be started as soon as possible and released as soon as possible. The crew will trouble you if they prepare for these things."

Yuan Yangan said curiously: "Brother Zhou, what you said is a big relationship. Could it be the kind of relationship between "The World of Lies" and Wanglaoji's herbal tea commercial? By the way, I don't know what the new commercial film you just mentioned is. It seems that martial arts dramas are not suitable for commercial advertising, right?"

"Haha, this is a secret. After I tell it, Brother Yuan, you must keep it confidential for the time being."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "This advertisement is not for some kind of product, but for the TV station I am about to build..."

"TV station?"
