Chapter 101 Hong Kong people are also old haters
Night, room 302.
The weather is getting warmer. Chen Qi is wearing a large vest and a pair of thin underpants, sitting at the table and immersed in writing.
The Great Wall Company was of great help this time and sent people to accompany the Yuan brothers on their way north, saving them a lot of trouble. The friendship was profound. He always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If you give me a bowl of rice, I will give you a table.
Stare at me and I'll kill your whole family.
He wants to repay one or two things, but the only thing he can get at the moment is the script.
It's very troublesome to write plays for leftists. Nowadays, leftists are also subject to many restrictions. For example, feudal superstitions cannot be filmed - except for Liaozhai, because Liaozhai is a famous work, and Journey to the West is the same.
Secondly, Hong Kong local dramas cannot be written. Chen Qi has never been to Hong Kong, so how can he write them?
It’s impossible to write a big drama, because the cost is high, the cycle is long, and there are very few directors and actors that can be used by the left. If you don’t have a big star in a big movie, it’s a dead end.
The goal set by Chen Qi was to make quick money with a small cost. It should not be too out of date so that the audience would not be able to accept it. What he wanted was to be simple and crude. After much thought, he settled on a horror film.
We can’t have ghosts, but can we have monsters? Can we have special powers?
He decided on the genre and started to list the films:
"Far Cry"? Trash, unless you find Ye Ye, Yuqing Ye and Peng Dan to play the role. The three of them stand on the bow of the boat in swimsuits, imitating the power of power and bending down to expose their breasts.
"Hell" is a good movie. The setting is about special functions, but it is not simple and crude enough. This kind of movie is a win-win for word-of-mouth and box office. It is a bit wasteful to show it at this time.
"Old Corpse in the Mountain Village"? Forget it, that's a real ghost, and Chu Renmei is also a frequent visitor in the Internet world.
After some further thought, he set his sights on Hollywood and used some creativity to adapt it. There was a sea of material, and soon he was filled with inspiration and ideas for writing, and he quickly wrote a summary:
It was said that a few young people went camping in the countryside, and their car suddenly had a flat tire. They were unable to call for help in a remote place, but they accidentally discovered a mountain hut filled with creepy weapons and a dozen people soaked in jars.
Teeth and bones, bloody severed hands and limbs, and the deformed-looking mutated ogre!
All the young people stopped eating, except for one girl who was not caught. They met a reporter who came to the countryside to interview. The two fought against the ogres and finally discovered the secret: those ogres turned out to be descendants of the Japanese!
When the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, they conducted biological experiments here. After the Japanese army was defeated and evacuated, they abandoned the researchers here.
Because the researchers have been infected by the virus and mutated, they live in seclusion in the mountains and have children. The children have also mutated, with infinite strength, low intelligence, and bloodthirsty...
Chen Qi waved it off and nodded with satisfaction, not bad!
Since there was still some leftover, I simply made another outline:
A few people went camping. Yes, the young people camping are the largest group in horror movies. They are all women. They accidentally discovered a mysterious cave and decided to go explore it.
Turns out there’s a monster inside!
This kind of monster is very similar to humans. It has no vision and only relies on hearing to hunt. It moves extremely quickly and kills all the cannon fodder. The heroine struggled and struggled, but in the end she could not escape.
And what is that monster?
Hey, when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, some people ran to the mountains to take refuge. Some of them hid in this cave and did not dare to come out. Over time, they mutated into monsters. They were also pitiful people!
Of these two stories, one is based on "Fatal Turn" and the other is based on "Dark Invasion".
They are all classics of low-budget horror films. Chen Qi's adaptation did not involve any localization. The biggest localization element was the Japanese invasion of China. The Japanese occupied Hong Kong from December 25, 1941 to August 15, 1945, commonly known as "
Three years and eight months”.
Although Hong Kong people like Britain and the United States, they have no favorable impression of Japan. They often beat up Japanese devils in movies. Unlike Taiwan, which was occupied by Japan for 50 years and was colonized to the point where they have lost their feelings and love.
These two films, as long as the leftists don't go crazy, will make a lot of money. It's just a matter of making more or less. If the operation is done well, they can be sold overseas, and overseas prefer this style.
He even had the director in mind, Mou Dunfu, whose masterpieces are "Black Sun 731" and "Heroes Are Young"!
Chen Qi really wanted to push the left wing, and he was not stingy with the things in his mind. If the left wing is better, he will be more relaxed in the future.
…………
The scenery booth is set up, and the scenery for "Tai Chi" is already being set up.
The appearance of Qixiong Pagoda should be based on the exterior scene, and the interior should naturally be based on the interior scene.
The seven masters each have their own style. The first one was shot by the Korean ronin Jin Fengjin, who is good at kicking and has kicked a Siberian tiger and a big black bear to death. The decoration is quite Korean style, with classical screens, long tables and tea sets.
Li Wenhua checked around and said, "Qingli, how about hanging a few more shaman masks on the wall?"
"If you ask for something, we'll do it."
A man in his 40s responded nonchalantly. His name was Zhao Qingli and he was a prop master.
??????55.??????
"Then do it and get more masks!"
Li Wenhua frowned slightly. He didn't like this guy, but he still had to use it.
As mentioned before, Beijing Film Studio has four major creative groups. Each team has a director, assistant director, photographer, art, etc., and they each work on their own films without interfering with each other.
Li Wenhua belongs to this collective, so he has to use the people of this collective, because he will get subsidies and benefits when he starts working. He does not use these people, but uses other people to cause trouble every minute.
Zhao Qingli has been working as a prop master in the factory, and he is also a master who leads his apprentices. He has several young people under his command, and shouted: "Director Li has spoken, what are you doing? Find the mask quickly!"
After the apprentices left, he smiled again and said: "Speaking of Director Li, we have worked together for many years, and I have to say something from the bottom of my heart. You are a veteran and have the ability, so you are so polite to a foreign customer?
How old is that kid? He's 20 years old. What does a 20-year-old mean in the factory? The factory director is just protecting him?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We have a great time cooperating. Please hurry up and finish setting up the scene."
Li Wenhua didn't want to discuss this and turned away. Zhao Qingli pouted. Nowadays, many people in the factory can't stand that kid. He, like Huang Jianzhong's gang, is one of them.
…………
"Second brother, can we do it this time? I still feel a bit rash!"
"You've come here, can you still go back? Just treat it as a part-time job. And you have to be careful. We all use fake names to the outside world, so don't expose it."
"I know!"
"Alas, I have never worked with mainland Chinese actors, and I don't know what the actors are like. If I don't meet the requirements, it will be too troublesome!"
At the same time, on the way to Beijing Film Studio, the Yuan brothers were whispering.
Among the seven children in the Yuan family, Yuan Heping was the second eldest. He also became a sworn kinsman and was the eighth, and was later honored as the Eighth Master in the world.
This time they went north in the name of Great Wall Company's technical staff, and they used pseudonyms when speaking to the outside world. They arrived at the Beijing Film Studio early in the morning and found the same studio where everyone was present.
"Hello, sir!"
"Hello, teacher!"
"Hello, master!"
Li Lianjie, Yu Chenghui and others came over one by one to shake hands and shouted in various ways. Yuan Heping greeted him with a smile and looked at him secretly. He suddenly felt very balanced: Who said that our Yuan family class is the ugliest? Our compatriots from mainland China are also weird!
"We brothers are new here, and it is our first time to cooperate with everyone. We hope that communication comes first and we can discuss any matters easily."
Yuan Heping stood in front of him and spoke, saying: "I am not familiar with you all, but I heard that you are all martial arts champions. Can you let us see it first? I can also design movements based on your characteristics."
"No problem!"
"Let me see which one comes first..."
Chen Qi jumped out and lost at the beginning. He pointed at Li Lianjie and said, "Xiao Li, come here!"
"good!"
Let's talk about other things. Li Lianjie was not afraid of anyone during the martial arts performance. He took off his coat and stepped forward, showed off his stance, and performed a set of flip flops.
Fanziquan has a long history. It pays attention to eight flashes and twelve flips. It is short and powerful, with rapid force. The fists are as dense as rain, and the stance is prone and flashing. It is a common boxing method in martial arts routines.
What he is best at is Fanziquan.
This set is really smooth and smooth, and the movements are done in one go, just like a special girl setting off firecrackers. The snaps are crisp and fast, and it is dazzling. It is commonly known as a whip!
"..."
The Yuan brothers looked straight at it!
For those who learn martial arts routines, the first factor is smoothness, precision, and natural strength. Li Lianlian specializes in this. How can there be such a talent in Hong Kong?
That's why he was regarded as a treasure by the Hong Kong film industry when he passed there, and he has great overseas appeal. He has never won the annual box office championship in Hong Kong, but at his peak, his salary was second only to Jackie Chan, and higher than Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow, just because
He can make money overseas.
Stephen Chow is very good in the Chinese-speaking area, but Wu Li Tou's overseas debut has little influence. He really went overseas with "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu". Well, in the end, it depends on Kung Fu.
"Okay, okay...you, you..."
Yuan Heping stuttered a little, so Chen Qi helped him by saying: "What is your best performance? Give it another try!"
"no problem!"
Without saying a word, Li Lianjie took a few steps back, jumped up in a short run, turned 360 degrees in the air, and then immediately followed up with a whirlwind kick, which was steady! This is a combination of the "optional long fist" in the martial arts competition.
"He can also stab a spear with one hand in the air, turn with a whirlwind foot to catch a split bayonet..."
"Okay, okay! We already know his strength. Each one is a stick, let's look at the next one first!" Yuan Heping said hurriedly.
"..."
Li Lianjie clasped his fists, wiped his body and went back, winking at everyone, meaning: Hong Kong people are ignorant and are just old haters!
Chapter completed!
