The ten members of the "Tai Chi" group are all celebrating the Chinese New Year outside for the first time.
The leftists arranged a Spring Festival dinner, and they had a good meal and had nothing to think about. With Chen Qi's suggestions, everyone was as busy as dogs, and they really couldn't care about the Spring Festival.
As the movie became more and more popular, some exclusive interviews followed. Everyone was not good at talking, but Chen Qi continued to talk nonsense.
"I have been in the studio all year round, and have been exposed to some Hong Kong movies, and I have some understanding of them. Jackie Chan is good, he is in his own way, and he has a promising future... What? You said he went to Hollywood? "Cannonball Run"?
Wow, when you hear this bad name, you will jump into the street. The arrogant Americans cannot let a Chinese play freely. They still have to recognize their own basic base and focus on Asia first, and then Europe and the United States."
"Sammo Hung is chubby. He is the most flexible fat man in Hong Kong, right? I've been busy these days and watched a lot of Hong Kong movies. I watched "Ghosts" and it was pretty good."
"I heard that there is a new wave force in Hong Kong. I think Tsui Hark and Ann Hui are very good. Tsui Hark dares to think and shoot, and has his own lens aesthetics. He will become a great success. The female director Xu Anhua is also very fierce. I think she does realistic themes.
It will be great.”
"I specially bought a ticket to watch "Modern Bodyguard". Although I can't understand Cantonese, the movie is good to watch. I feel that Xu Guanwen has a kind of aloof beauty, and the educated people look down on you old and rough people."
If Chen Qi were a Hong Konger, he would be PKed by real people in minutes.
If you bump into a black society, you'll be beaten up, shot, and filled with cement to sink the pond.
As a 20-year-old junior, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at his seniors? But he is a mainlander and was sent by the government to participate in the event. Damn, this is disgusting to the locals.
In the end, he did not let Master Liu Jialiang go.
"I watched "The Elders", what should I say? Hong Kong action movies are all advancing with the times, but Master Liu is still sticking to the old rules. He may be more conservative and doesn't care much about the progress and development of the world.
An old master who lives and immerses himself in the past era and feels the sunset of the past era.
By the way, didn’t you say before that you want to make friends through your works?
I heard that the box office of "Elders" was only over 3 million in 14 days, and "Tai Chi" was 3 million in 3 days. Oh, now it is 4 million in 4 days. I am so ashamed!"
Liu Jialiang is an old man who is very popular. He likes to call himself a martial arts master. He doesn’t like this or that. Everyone has to listen to me. I am the authentic disciple of Nanquan - I follow the Hong family class, the married family class, and the Yuan family class.
The relationship is not very good.
He had made a film "North and South Shaolin", in which the original cast of "Shaolin Temple" starred. He was very discriminatory towards the mainland. For example, when he had to shoot the sunrise scene the next day, he asked the mainland actors to wait on the set at three in the morning.
After waiting for 7 hours, Liu Jialiang came unhurriedly and said that he had overslept. Then he shot for a while and announced that it was over. The reason was that he missed the best sunrise shot and would not shoot today.
This kind of bad thing is done often.
He was very popular in the 1970s and early 1980s. When Hong Kong Kung Fu movies turned to flying and escaping, he couldn't keep up. Only "Drunken Master 2" is a classic.
Chen Qipeng, a veteran, has no one to support him except the people from the Liu family class. It is a miracle that he got into this position.
Liu Jialiang was furious, but the facts were before his eyes. "The Elders" just couldn't do it. Not to mention "Tai Chi" defeated "The Elders", the average daily box office maintained a clear lead over "Modern Bodyguard", and catching up was not a problem.
Now my colleagues in Hong Kong were also surprised.
…………
Night, restaurant.
Sammo Hung and several brothers had just finished watching "Tai Chi" and came over for a late-night snack and a meeting to study.
Don’t think that Hong Kong’s martial arts practitioners are all rough and tumble. They often watch their opponents’ scenes, and then think about how to make them more powerful... You jumped from the second floor, I jumped from the third floor, and my body was still on fire.
More stupid than you, that's all.
But something was a little different today. His head seemed to be shining brightly, and with the title of "the most flexible fat man in Hong Kong", the brothers wanted to laugh when they saw it.
"Street boy!"
"If you tell me that, I will deal with him sooner or later!"
Sammo Hung was also very depressed. Chen Qi wanted to scold him, but he didn't scold him. He even praised him, but it was nothing big or small.
"The filming of "Tai Chi" is indeed good. It's not exaggerated, but we can't learn it."
"Why can't you learn?"
"Wow, look at that Li Lianlian fight, who among us can beat him? You or me, Zhengying, can you do it?"
"Neither can I!"
Lin Zhengying shook his head and said: "He was trained by the mainland's sports system and specializes in this kind of martial arts. We have never practiced it and cannot imitate him."
Wu Ma said: "I think the style of "Ghost Fighting Ghost" is okay. Yuan Jiaban's "Qi Men Dun Jia" did so well at the box office. Can we make another similar movie?"
"This is a good idea, that's what I have in mind."
Sammo Hung nodded and said: "When I have the opportunity, I will talk to Mr. Zou and come up with a script."
"Brother Sanmao, why don't you ask that boy named Chen to write it?" Zhong Fa said deliberately.
"What a crazy line! There is no one in Hong Kong, why should I look for a guy from Mainland China? Don't let me see him, I will really deal with him!"
Sammo Hung slapped the table.
…………
Jiahe.
Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were also chatting.
He Guanchang is one of the founders of Jiahe, the core of the company, and Jackie Chan's godfather.
"I see that Li Lianlian is very talented. Could you please clear the way and sign him over?"
"I checked, his identity is related to, uh..."
He Guanchang could not find a suitable adjective and said: "Anyway, he was trained by the government. His identity and relationship are all with the government. We can't do anything about him."
"It's a pity that such a good talent can't be used by me, forget it!"
Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "Aaron is going to the United States to develop. "Cannonball Speed" will be released in a few months. Please pay attention to the publicity."
"clear!"
Jackie Chan has been to the United States for the past two years. Last year, he starred in "The Trench", which received a poor reputation. This year, "Cannonball Run" was released, and it was still poor. In fact, the box office of these two films was okay, but he completely lost his personal characteristics, and movie fans were extremely disappointed.
Not satisfied.
After the failure of two films, he realized that he wanted to take root in Hong Kong and radiate to Asia first. It was not until "Red Zone" in the 1990s that he finally became famous in Hollywood.
…………
"good!"
In the left-wing theater, Tsui Hark, wearing a hat, secretly came to watch, and was amazed when he saw the wonderful parts.
"Tai Chi" suits my taste so well!
The martial arts design, natural landscape, historical background, and feelings about family and country... are all my favorite elements. It's just a pity that there isn't a pair of beautiful female stars doing Lily.
Tsui Hark has already finished filming "Butterfly", "No Gate to Hell" and "The First Type of Danger", and joined New Art City. This year there will be a movie "Ghosts and Horses" released. The box office of this film will be very good, but it is not his favorite
These things are just for food.
What he really likes is fairies, demons and ghosts, people in the world, enemies of the country and family, and female stars making love with Lily...
After the movie ended, Tsui Hark reluctantly walked out of the theater and remembered two names. One was of course Li Lianlian and the other was Chen Qi. Because he had also watched "The Turn" and liked the rich cult film style very much.
“I didn’t expect mainland film talents to be so great!”
"How can we find a way to cooperate?"
(No more...)
Chapter completed!
