Tsui Hark has a problem with his filmmaking. He always wants to cram too many things into one movie. For example, the two Shushan legends ended up with poor stories, chaotic rhythms, and vague themes, leaving only a bunch of art and beauties.
Later, even the beauties were gone, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed, with Xiao Zhan playing Guo Jing and Zhuang Dafei playing Huang Rong.
It's hard to say what I heard.
Tsui Hark is too easy to let himself go, and now Shi Nansheng looks good, plus Chen Qi is double insurance. He has never made a film with a budget of 20 million. He was so excited that he turned into a workaholic and selected a few people as assistants, including Chen Musheng.
Chen Musheng came over to do odd jobs, but Chen Qi didn't restrict him. He could sit in on any crew he wanted. The directors also liked him very much, and the young man had potential.
Tsui Hark has profound art skills. He first drew some shots and made requirements for the Black Man's appearance, weapons, organization headquarters design, Japanese design, props, etc.
He happily wants to set up the organization's headquarters on a cliff, underwater, or on a snow-capped mountain.
Anyway, it’s as strange as it comes.
Chen Qi didn't refute it immediately. He had to take it back to professionals to discuss it. What if it could be done?
There are some choices for actors.
He knew several foreign stars who had deep connections with Hong Kong films, such as Yasuaki Kurata, the Japanese master in "Fist of Heroes", and Li Lianlian who contributed a fight scene famous in film history in front of Fearless's grave.
There are also Yukari Oshima and Lovella from the United States. They are all familiar faces from Hong Kong movies.
As for the most important villain, the master sent by the organization to hunt down the protagonist, he wanted to find a man named Jean-Claude Van Damme to play the role.
He is a Belgian who has learned Chinese martial arts, karate, and Muay Thai, and has won the European professional karate championship. At this stage, he has already gone to Hollywood to make a living, working in some small films.
He has filmed films for John Woo, Tsui Hark, and Lam Ling-tung. The most popular one on the Internet in later generations is probably the commercial he filmed for Volvo trucks: a horse flying in the middle of two moving trucks!
There are not many serious action stars overseas.
Usually they are those who have never practiced martial arts and just look like tough guys, such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Guo Da, etc.
All in all, "Black Man" is being prepared intensively and quickly. Many people outside are interested in it, such as the Yuan brothers, Yuan Kui, Hong Jinbao, and even Cheng Long called to ask. After all, the good news is out.
The Yuan brothers and Yuan Kui are also Chen Qi's first choice action instructors.
………………
There is a society in Hong Kong called Xin Ngee Ann, which was founded by Xiang Xiang, a member of the military.
In the 1950s, Xiang Qian was deported and went to Taiwan. He had 13 children, the 10th was named Xiang Huaqiang, and the 13th was named Xiang Huasheng. They were both born to his aunt.
The two brothers did not have the same mother, but they had a good relationship. When they were 20 years old, they went to Taiwan to join their father to earn a living. Xiang Huaqiang learned martial arts and became an actor, while Xiang Huasheng opened a restaurant.
A few years later, I failed as an actor, but my restaurant business was booming.
The two set up a film company, and last year they filmed a movie called "Delinquents", which received a good response. The director was Eric Tsang.
Historically, when Shaw Brothers cut production, they signed Wong Jing next year, and also won Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow. In the 1990s, there were Andy Lau and Li Lianlian, sitting on the four aces, leading the way.
After 1997, I came to shore with a clear conscience, loving my country and Hong Kong.
He gave birth to two sons, one named Xiang Zuo and the other Xiang Zui. Xiang Zuo had a bad record and was hidden by his family and did not appear in public. Xiang Zuo lived a very abstract life in the entertainment industry. He was very similar to his father when he was young. They were almost like father and son.
.
There are many things about the Xiang family that cannot be said in general. Everyone who knows about them knows about them.
Nowadays, the situation in Hong Kong is different. Taiwan has banned Hong Kong films, and 99% of companies are unable to enter. The Xiang brothers have become a ray of hope. Some active people have contacted frequently, hoping to use the Xiang family's connections to enter Taiwan.
Inside a restaurant.
Pan Disheng and Shun Jianxun from Debao met the two brothers.
Xiang Huaqiang, who is in his 30s and still in the prime of life, has a sad face. He explained: "I dare not deceive you two. If our Yongsheng company goes to Taiwan to film, we can still be accommodating, but we must find people within the scope designated by the Information Bureau. A Hong Kong
No one can have it.
If you want to make a Hong Kong film and sell it to Taiwan, I can't help you. Because I can't guarantee whether there are leftist undercover agents, and no one can afford it if something goes wrong."
"The leftists who are fighting on the streets!"
Pan Disheng cursed severely, he was now embarrassed.
I entered the film industry with great fanfare, but after just three films, I was hit hard. Hung Kam-bo withdrew, "Waiting for Dawn" starring Chow Yun-fat was blocked, Yang Ziqiong was also blocked, and there was only one "Owl".
and Dumbo” worked out some results.
The most embarrassing thing is that he still wants to praise Yang Ziqiong!
His status as a rich man is of no use in the film industry.
"Then let's ask, when will the ban be lifted?" Cen Jianxun said.
"I don't know. The situation on the island is very chaotic. Maybe I will think about movies after calming down."
"That's it..."
Cen Jianxun paused and said: "Now that the market is cold, no one dares to invest money. Debao and Princess Jin have reached a cooperation. I wonder if the two of you have formed an alliance?"
"alliance?"
The two brothers looked at each other and asked, "Please elaborate!"
"De Bao was tricked by the left, as well as the Xu brothers. They still have appeal in the local area, and Zhou Runfa is not bad. In fact, we are the most innocent. We are all being used by the left, and we cannot be undercover agents of the left.
It makes no sense for Taiwan to ban us. I hope you two can help intercede.
We all have the same goal, we all want to return to the Taiwan market, so we can help each other and share resources before the ban is lifted. In short, we have to film and start work. If a company does not start work, people will be scattered.
By integrating our resources and having Golden Princess Cinema, we can definitely get through this difficult time. When the ban is lifted, whether we continue to cooperate or go it alone, at least we will still be friends."
"..."
The Xiang brothers are a little moved. They are also very hard-working. They have little foundation in Hong Kong and the leftists are making trouble. They don't know anything about the next film.
If we jointly produce products with Debao, we can share risks, reduce costs, and only focus on the local market.
"That's the truth!"
"You two came here in person, which shows your sincerity. We didn't even care about the mother-in-law, so we agreed to this matter!"
"good!"
The four stood up and shook hands again.
As a result, Debao, Yongsheng, and Princess Jin, who were either directly or indirectly tricked by the leftists, formed a temporary alliance.
………………
All parties have their own things to do.
After a while, the filming of "The Amityville Horror 123" was also completed, and Zhuang Cheng's five films were also completed and sent to the United States. News also came from Colombia, saying that the American version of "Fifty First Dates" has been finalized
The hottest summer movie.
Chen Qi doesn't know whether the summer in the United States will be hot or not. He is eager to return home and just wants to go back as soon as possible to accompany his wife and have children.
(No more...
Happy New Year! What do you do on New Year’s Eve?)
