Chapter 776: Master and "Farewell My Concubine"(1/3)

The post-production work of "Infernal Affairs" is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Luo Mo and Xu Chujing also left Hong Kong Island and returned to the mainland for the last few shows of their global tour.

His current ticket sales performance is temporarily ranked first in the [Global Ticket Sales List].

But there is still some time before the end of the year, so it is not certain whether it will be overtaken by others.

Luo Mo didn't care about this.

Fighting for everything, demanding every data, life would be too tiring.

After working for a while, he and Xu Chujing returned to the Magic City.

He is a little confused now about when "Infernal Affairs" will be released.

Judging from the progress, there is plenty of time for it to be released in time for the New Year's Eve holiday.

On the contrary, the initial preparation work for "Farewell My Concubine" will take longer.

The reason is very simple. Luo Mo has extremely high requirements for many scenes in this movie.

He went to choose many scenes, but was not satisfied with any of them.

Finally, he decided to make it himself!

This is relatively rare in China, but it is not unheard of.

Some directors make a movie and create a garden.

These gardens can also sell tickets in the future, and can also be rented to other film crews as filming bases, and the subsequent income will be very stable.

Of course, the most important thing is to meet your needs for the shooting scene.

But since then, it has become more time-consuming.

Landscaping has actually been in the works since the beginning of the year.

Luo Mo had just revealed the news to Senior Brother Six at that time, saying that he was going to make a movie related to opera and planned to surprise his master.

And asked him not to tell the master about this matter.

But who would have thought that Sixth Senior Brother didn't know what was going on and actually sold him this time.

"It doesn't make sense." Luo Mo thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Even though Sixth Senior Brother has an unreliable face, he is still reliable in doing things, and he usually does what he promises.

Luo Mo often did bad things with him when he was a child. Every time the Sixth Senior Brother said that he would bear the responsibility alone, and then he would bear it all by himself.

I guess it was during the concert, when I heard the 100,000 audience members singing the dramatic part of "Lanting Preface" together, weren't I so excited all of a sudden?

But to be honest, Luo Mo's box office expectations for "Farewell My Concubine" are not very high.

This movie may not necessarily be a hit.

At the same time, based on his relationship with the review department, he was not sure whether he could pass the review without any repairs.

He has always felt that the existence of "Farewell My Concubine" on earth is simply a miracle.

Xu Chujing, on the other hand, made a suggestion when talking about this movie that she was also very interested in.

"Creating a landscape is time-consuming, but you can create it while taking pictures."

"You can shoot in some pre-made scenes," she said.

"I have thought about this. It will be a little more troublesome to adjust the actors' schedules, but it will indeed save more time." Luo Mo said with a smile.

When he was taking a break from his busy schedule, he was already looking for actors in "Farewell My Concubine".

These days, it is rare for an actor to refuse Luo Mo's invitation.

As long as he asks the studio to contact whomever he likes, it will be like a sudden burst of joy for the actor.

……..

……..

More than half a month later, Mrs. Zhong Lin happily came to work in the audit department.

She was in a good mood today because Luo Mo had new works submitted for review.

"And it's a Hong Kong movie." She said in her heart.

For people of her generation, Hong Kong movies can be said to be a memory of youth.

But in recent years, we have seen fewer and fewer Hong Kong films that appeal to our appetite.

"Wushuang" produced by Luo Mo is indeed good.

But compared to some of the previous pinnacles of Hong Kong films, it still feels a bit different.

Mrs. Zhong Lin personally thinks that "Wushuang" is amazing. Firstly, the subject matter is novel enough, and the process of filming the counterfeit banknotes is shot on a large scale.

Another is that the ending has an unexpected but reasonable reversal.

Her expectations for "Infernal Affairs" are higher than those of "Wushuang".

Because she could vaguely guess that "Wushuang" was just Luo Mo's small taste of Hong Kong films.

Mrs. Zhong Lin felt that although she didn't know Luo Mo thoroughly, she still had some understanding.

"He chose to direct this movie himself, and also played the male lead himself. This must be his ambition, and it can also be seen that he attaches great importance to this movie." Zhong Lin said in her heart.

When the members of the audit team saw Team Leader Zhong Lin's red face and radiant face, it was not difficult to guess that Luo Mo was making a big move again.

After pouring a glass of warm water, she returned to her office and closed the door.

The review of "Infernal Affairs" has two versions: Cantonese version and Mandarin version.

As a native of Beijing, Zhong Lin will definitely give priority to watching the Mandarin version.

As for the Cantonese version, she will only conduct a preliminary review.

Next, we will find other responsible persons for review.

In the past, there was often a situation where in the Cantonese version, the sound and subtitles did not mean the same thing at all!

The subtitles are just harmonized.

In fact, the words spoken are meant to give the audience some color.

In this way, you can get through the review.

Not to mention, there have been many films that passed the review in this way.

Of course, this is also because the review of Hong Kong films is relatively loose.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong Lin turned on the movie and saw the introduction to the Infinite Hell in a suspenseful and eerie soundtrack.

"Nirvana Sutra, Volume 19."

"The highest of the eight hells is called the endless hell, which means suffering great suffering without interruption, hence the name."

The very beginning of the movie is in a temple.

Gangster boss Han Chen, with a pious look on his face, was bowing respectfully to the Buddha statue.

After praying, he turned around and looked at the row of young people behind him.

He started to talk about the past five years ago.

He told how his previous "industry" had been raided an average of 1.3 times a day less than half a month after it opened.

There are a lot of slang words from Hong Kong in this paragraph. Although Mrs. Zhong Lin doesn’t understand it, she can roughly guess the meaning.

"Six brothers died within one year." Han Chen said to a row of young people.

He suddenly turned around again, clasped his hands towards the Buddha statue, and shouted: "Buddha bless you!"

This kind of gangster is asking Buddha for protection.

Zhong Lin thought: "I'm afraid I have done too many bad things and need to find a spiritual sustenance?"

I saw Han Chen looking at the row of young people again and said: "The fortune teller said that I am a general who has achieved great success, but I don't agree. I think it is up to you to decide whether you live or die."

"You have been with me for the shortest time and have the cleanest foundation."

"I'll let you choose which way to go." He said with a smile.

I don't know why, Han Chen is obviously very short and looks like a clown, but every expression he makes, even if he is smiling, gives Zhong Lin a sense of danger.

Each young man received a cup, and Han Chen also had one in his hand.

"I wish you...all the best in the police department."

"Cheers, sirs," Han Chen said.

Everyone drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

"He actually wants to arrange for these young and Dangerous boys to become police officers!" Zhong Lin suddenly found the movie interesting.

The screen changed and we came to the police training school.

I saw that Liu Jianming, who was assigned as an undercover agent by Han Chen, was already participating in the training.
To be continued...
