When the people from the Great Wall Company looked through the script, the first thing they saw was an ugly mutated ogre.
A huge head, with no hair in the middle of the skull, a pointed head, protruding bones, two blue-purple birthmark-like things hanging on the skull, triangular eyes, one big and one small, and a huge nose taking up one third of the face.
, the mouth opens, revealing the sharp teeth like beasts...
This is a male, followed by a female, and then a 2-meter-tall child. It turns out to be a family of three.
There is text setting next to it: When Japan occupied Hong Kong, the descendants of the infected biochemical experiment researchers were left behind. They were a brother and sister. They gave birth to a child, had certain intelligence and great strength, and accidentally killed a couple.
, tasted the taste of human flesh, and became addicted to it, taking pleasure in hunting passers-by...
Behind it is also a group of text manuscripts and drawings.
The people at the Great Wall were shocked:
This kind of setting is considered very popular in Hong Kong, but it turned out that the special one was written by a young man from mainland China, and there were also drawings! This means that what Chen Qi gave him was not just a script, but an almost complete movie.
's film.
He watched "Dark Invasion" again, the style was similar, both heavy-handed.
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean?"
"You know that I have always liked to think wildly. I have read many miscellaneous books. I actually have a lot of similar ideas in my mind, but you also know that the environment in mainland China makes it impossible to realize them.
Secondly, I know a lot about your situation, so I have some ideas. Please forgive me if I am wrong."
Chen Qi paused and said: "The left has almost stagnated in the past few years. Not only has there been no production, but it has also consumed all the funds, resources, prestige, etc. it had accumulated before. Now it is in an embarrassing situation and has difficulty in development... What I said is terrible.
right?"
"Oh, that's true!" The other party sighed.
"If the left wants to rise again, it must first produce a few eye-catching films and make money. Without money, it can't do anything, right?"
"We understand this truth, but how can we..."
“How can we not start with the lack of resources?”
"You really know a lot about us. It seems like you've been asking a lot of questions!" The other party suddenly laughed.
"Because I admire everything you have done to take root in Hong Kong, and I hope you can do your best.
You are now working on "Shaolin Temple". To be honest, this is a political task and you have to do it. Most of your resources have been dragged into "Shaolin Temple". Director Zhang is slow to make films. You can't do nothing for two years and only produce one "Shaolin Temple".
Shaolin Temple" right?
So I was thinking, can I make some low-cost movies that can make money?
I checked a lot of information, including the information you gave me from Hong Kong, and I found that movies with ghosts and monsters that scare the audience often do well. For example, in 1974, you ranked fifth in the box office rankings, with a movie called "The Exorcist"
Right?"
"Yes, that's right, a classic Hollywood horror movie about exorcising ghosts from the Godfather of the West."
"Oh, you call it a horror movie. Anyway, I tried my best in this direction and came up with these two scripts. There are no big scenes and no big actors. The cost should not be very high. I set the background to be the descendants of Japanese devils.
, so the mainland will not object.”
Never mind that this is the so-called "Sino-Japanese honeymoon period", which is all based on the needs of development. In fact, there is no honeymoon at all. Let's put it this way, during the honeymoon period of the 1980s, domestic anti-Japanese films continued.
In other words, from the founding of the People's Republic of China until later generations, anti-Japanese resistance has always been at the top of the main theme.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many wars under the banner of anti-Japanese, but in reality they were nonsense dramas, tearing up Japanese soldiers with their hands, hiding mines in their crotches, steamed buns that could be eaten and used as bombs, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers were all well-dressed and equipped better than the Japanese soldiers.
All good...
"Of course, this is just my family's opinion. I am young and have little experience. If there is any nonsense, please don't mind."
??????????.??????
"No, no, you are absolutely right!"
At this moment, the people in the Great Wall are extremely complicated. How they hoped to get some support from the mainland, but in the end, it turned out to be a little-known screenwriter who actually gave two scripts.
This matter is very simple to say. After the reform, the mainland's policy towards Hong Kong will become "elite united front". What does that mean?
It is to win over celebrities from Hong Kong's political, business, cultural, and even entertainment circles and take the upper-level route.
Including Jin Yong coming to the mainland next year, it is also the result of the united front of the elite.
So in this environment, one can imagine how embarrassing the situation of the left is.
"I am a soft-spoken man, but my heart can be learned by the sun and the moon. The last time I saw seniors Fu Qi and Shi Hui, I just regretted that I didn't have a chance to talk freely. I have another letter here. I hope you can pass it on to them to express my respect.
.”
Chen Qi rarely spoke from the bottom of his heart. He really liked this couple and their daughter was also very beautiful.
"Okay, I will definitely convey it to you!"
"Please come on, these two scripts are both short and fast, and can be released after a few months of operation... Well, it would be great if I had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong to see the film environment there. I might have a deeper understanding, but it's a pity that I go out
It’s difficult.”
Coming to Hong Kong?
The person from Great Wall was moved in his heart and looked at the other person carefully. Needless to say, he was young and promising. He had seen with his own eyes how he made arrangements on the set of "Tai Chi".
What's more important is that they also have an overall view, and they can analyze and judge Hong Kong in this way based on a little information, which is quite a bit like strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away.
The left wing is in dire straits and is in need of talent.
He suppressed this thought and prepared to return to Hong Kong to report to Fu Qi.
…………
Regarding Hong Kong's attitude, Chen Qi has always advocated two words: Fuck him!
It's a pity that the current environment does not allow it. You can't do it hard, you can only stab soft knives. He comes through, sister Gong Xue doesn't have to have sex, He Qing, Chen Hong, Tao Huimin doesn't have to have sex, but he must do Hong Kong entertainment!
"Dong dong dong!"
He saw off the people at the Great Wall and was about to go to sleep. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Liang Xiaosheng came in with a stack of manuscript papers.
"Xiao Chen, I've finished writing the first half of "Big Shanghai 1937", would you like to take a look?"
"Oh good!"
Chen Qi took it and read it roughly, mainly the beginning and the end, and said with a smile: "Old Liang, your writing skills in writing popular novels have become more and more sophisticated, and you are much better than me."
"Actually, this thing is quite easy to write. It's easy to find the way out."
Liang Xiaosheng lit a cigarette and became proud.
Starting from September last year, Chen Qi published the first half of "Kapok Kasaya" and "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" alone in "Story Club" every two months, and the two collaborated on the second half, as well as "Wudang"
.
Liang Xiaosheng gets 88 yuan in royalties each time, and has already earned 264 yuan in just six months.
The man is rich and confident, and now he holds his chest and head high when he speaks.
"Big Shanghai 1937" is also a famous film in the 1980s. It was filmed by the great director Chang Cheh and tells the story of a group of people in old Shanghai fighting against Japan. There is a character in it called "Little Knife Yang Fan", played by Dong Zhihua.
Dong Zijian's father, the one who plays Wulang Bagua stick in "Kung Fu".
When Chen Qi saw Liang Xiaosheng puffing away leisurely, he said with a smile: "Old Liang, our combination of Archie and Aguai is becoming more and more famous. I heard that you went to a restaurant two days ago. Why do you want to do this?"
Have you given up serious literature?”
