1225 [Prison Situation]
"Mr. Xia, this is the script of "Prison Heroes". We hope to use Zhou Run to publish it." Mai Jia sent the script to Xia Tian.
"The Prison Heroes"?!" Xia Tian was stunned, then took the script over, opened it and immediately understood. It was said to be "The Prison Heroes", but the story was actually the version of "The Prison Storm" in his previous life.
In his previous life, Lin Lingdong made a hit and became a top director in Hong Kong. He then continued to work hard and filmed this story that reflects the theme of prison, named it "Prison Storm", which can be regarded as the highlight of "Dragon and Tiger Storm".
However, in this life, he made "The Legend of Dragon and Tiger", so the name of the new film is consistent, named "The Legend of Prison". Although the name is a little weaker than "The Legend of Prison", as long as the movie itself is outstanding, it is actually nothing to have a weaker name.
Just like Cheng Long's "Police Story", the name is so bad, but it is a classic work of Hong Kong police and gangster action movies, and there is no doubt.
Xia Tian has watched the movie "Prison Storm" many times in his previous life. I know it is the pioneering work of Hong Kong's "prison films". The filming of "Women's Prison", "The Heartbreak Song of Black Prison", "Dragon in Prison" and so on are all filmed by following the trend.
In this movie, Zhou Runfa plays the old fried dough stick Zhong Tianzheng. With a little slick and cleverness, he wanders in a prison where gangsters are rampant, without causing trouble, and without any harm.
The role of Lu Jiayao, played by Liang Jiahui in the film, is a gentle and ignorant scholar. He originally had a beautiful life, but because he accidentally killed someone, he was locked in this dark cell.
Because of his straightforward personality and not smooth enough, he offended the gang, was bullied, framed, and suffered a lot. He was discouraged and was determined to die.
Although Zhong Tianzheng was unwilling to meddle in other people's business in order to protect himself, he still extended a helping hand to him when he saw that he was so pitiful. The two became friends because of this.
Gangsters were rampant in prison, Dasha, Shabiao, Datun and others led a group of people and fought each other endlessly, often causing trouble for fish in the pond, causing ordinary prisoners to suffer.
The prison guard killer Xiong is cruel and ruthless, fierce and cruel. Not only does he not restrain these gangs, but he uses the gangsters to control the black, making the prison even more chaotic.
Unable to bear it, Zhong Tianzheng finally abandoned his long-term principle of "not causing trouble, not causing trouble" and was forced to resist. He had a fierce conflict with the prison police killer Xiong, and fought hard, and was both seriously injured and hospitalized...
At the end of the story, Lu Jiayao survived his sentence and was released from prison successfully. Zhong Tianzheng also recovered and returned to prison.
The good brothers reunited at the gate of the prison, and the "Light of Friendship" by Fat Mom Maria was singing at the right time, which was a good ending.
...
Director Lin Lingdong showed outstanding directorial skills in this movie, telling the story ups and downs, doing his best to be sensational, and having a very high emotional appeal.
He filmed the early stage of the story to a very depressing story, telling the painful experience of the young young Lu Jiayao hitting walls everywhere in prison and being bullied. The audience was sympathetic to him and easily replaced this character. Seeing that he was so pitiful, the audience's emotions were also extremely depressing. It was entirely up to Zhong Tianzheng to make jokes to relieve the audience's emotions;
In the middle, Lu Jiayao received help from Zhong Tianzheng, and finally adapted to life in prison and learned to be smart. On the other hand, the prisoners danced in the cell with Deng Lijun's "Sweet Honey" which was the warmest part of the play. It also relieved the audience's suppressed emotions and showed a knowing smile;
Just when the audience thought that Lu Jiayao would spend his sentence safely and was released from prison, the plot suddenly took a sharp turn for the next time. A hunger strike initiated by a prisoner made several major gangs temporarily unite the prison, and also made the relationship between the prison guards and the prisoners tense.
In order to destroy the prisoners' hunger strike, the killer Xiong learned the list of organizers from the gang leader Datun and put them all in jail, but slandered Zhong Tian as the leaker.
In the prison world, the one who cannot bear the most is the leaker, Erwuzi. Therefore, the killer Xiong's move was to tie Zhong Tianzheng to the guillotine and could be beaten to death at any time.
Seeing that Zhong Tianzheng, who was always optimistic and easy-going, smooth-minded, but still warm-hearted, was framed by Killer Xiong in this way, the audience couldn't help but be indignant, and was extremely angry at Killer Xiong's cruelty and Datun's despicable and angry.
Finally, at the end of the movie, Zhong Tianzheng and Datun fought one-on-one, and then broke into Datun, and died together with the cruel and indifferent killer Xiong. Finally, the audience breathed a sigh of relief and their anger was vented.
In the end, Lu Jiayao successfully passed his sentence, was released from prison, and the family was reunited again. Zhong Tianzheng was also discharged from the hospital safely. Such an ending also made the audience feel relieved.
After watching the movie, the audience actually felt sympathy for the criminals who broke the law. On the contrary, the law enforcement prison guards were disgusted by them. Such an unreasonable change highlights how powerful Lin Lingdong's directing skills are.
In his previous life, after watching this movie, Xia Tian admired Lin Lingdong in a state of admiration. Although his fame is not higher than Wu Yusen, in Xia Tian's opinion, his directing skills are comparable to Wu Yusen.
...
"Mr. Xia, what do you think of this script?" Mai Jiajian, after reading the script, remained silent, so he asked with a smile.
"Very good." Xia Tian nodded, "I think this is a very good script. Mr. Mai, your company has so many talents."
"Thank you for your praise." Mai Jia smiled proudly when she heard this.
The so-called rotten ship has three thousand nails. The current momentum of Xinyi City is indeed not as good as before, but it is not comparable to that of any company.
"Then did you agree to lend it to me?" Mai Jia smiled again.
"It's not just Zhou Runfa, I also plan to recommend another actor to you." Xia Tian smiled.
"Who?" Mai Jia was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Liang Jiahui!" Xia Tian smiled slightly, "What do you think he will play Lu Jiayao?"
"Liang Jiahui?! Are you really willing to lend him to me?" Mai Jia was stunned and said in surprise.
Liang Jiahui is also a first-line star now. The starring "The Love of Man and Ghost" is a world-renowned international company with a box office of up to 100 million US dollars.
If he could join this movie, how high is the box office of this movie?! He got rich!
"When will I never count on my words?" Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Prison Storm" is a rare masterpiece. In summer, it can be regarded as the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption".
Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui are definitely not a loss for acting in this movie.
Of course, if they act in other movies, they will make more money. But as an actor, making money should not be the first consideration. As a film company boss, Xia Tian is willing to make more good movies and more excellent works, rather than just focusing on box office and making money.
In his previous life, after receiving the script of "Farewell My Concubine", the owner of the film company, urged Zhang Guorong to take on the role of Yu Ji. For this reason, he delayed the filming of "Happy Events in Family".
As a result, Zhang Guorong was successfully nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for this movie and became an internationally renowned star. For this reason, Zhang Guorong was grateful to Huang Baiming throughout his life.
Xia Tian is always reborn once, and his family is a big business, so he can't lose to Huang Baiming in dealing with people and life.
"Mr. Xia, if this is the case, then I really thank you very much." Seeing that Xia Tian was really willing to agree with this matter, Mai Jia stood up excitedly and held Xia Tian's hand and thanked him endlessly.
"You don't have to be polite." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "But there is one thing I have to explain to you first. I found out that I was still filming "Autumn Fairy Tale" in the United States, and it will probably take at least one month to complete the filming. Now only Liang Jiahui has schedules."
"That's okay, we can take photos of Liang Jiahui's part first." Mai Jia said with a smile as soon as he heard this.
"That's fine." Xia Tian saw him say this, smiled and nodded, "By the way, if I didn't recommend Liang Jiahui, who would you have planned to play this role?"
"Oh, I originally planned to arrange for Zheng Haonan to act." Mai Jia said.
Zheng Haonan is one of the only remaining young actors in Jiahe. She has worked as a model before. Although she is not as handsome as Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua and Zhang Guorong, she is also considered a handsome man of temperament.
Before, Xinyi City had already praised him for films such as "God of Love One", "Hong Kong Money of Thirty Millions", and "Flying Tigers and Ark", but unfortunately he has never been popular.
This time, Mai Jia originally planned to use Zhou Run's post to praise Zheng Haonan. However, since Xia Tian recommended Liang Jiahui, he planned to replace Zheng Haonan.
Because for New Art City now, it is best to make a box office masterpiece as soon as possible to boost morale. As for winning stars, it is not too late to talk about it in the future.
"Oh." Xia Tian nodded with a smile, and said sorry to Zheng Hao in his heart, "There is no way, I will not give it to you such a good movie as "Prison Storm".
"He is suitable for playing the role of the young Lu Jiayao, but he is stronger and does not look like a gentle scholar." Xia Tian commented immediately.
"There is nothing to do. There are too few stars in our New Art City." Mai Jia shook her head and said.
At the beginning, New Art City made many celebrities famous, including Tan Fenglin, Li Lizhen, Zhang Aijia, Ni Shujun, etc., and even Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Ye Tong, etc., they all worked with them.
But unfortunately, Xinyi City failed to seize the opportunity. After the stars became popular, they were signed by other companies. They made them famous in vain, but now they have fallen into a situation where no one can use them.
Therefore, he really admires Xia Tian now. He is the one who signs long-term contracts. After he becomes famous, he will continue to stay in the company and make a lot of money for the company to shine and heat.
