Chapter 52
"The auspicious time has come, prepare to worship God!" an old man shouted.
The crackling sound of firecrackers began to sound, followed by a group of people bowing to God, and then everyone followed the director to burn incense.
The first person to burn incense was Chenglong, who is the director of this movie.
The second one is Zou Wenhuai, the producer of this movie.
The third one is He Chuchang, the producer of the movie.
Next were Shi Jian, Yuan Biao and a bunch of other actors that Li Xuan didn't know.
Just a week after Li Xuan's "Scary People" started filming, Chenglong's first movie after joining Jiahe finally started filming. It was Chenglong's self-written, directed and acted by himself, "The Junior Brother Takes the Horse".
Li Xuan, Wang Jin, Zhong Chuhong and a large number of people from the Hong family class stood among the onlookers.
Chenglong and Hong Jingbao are very good brothers. His new scenes are on the filming of God, and the Hong family team cannot come to support them. "Scary People" has few scenes during the day and the filming is almost done. Wang Jin simply took a long vacation, and the crew came here to join in the fun.
Looking at Chenglong, who was holding a knife and was about to cut a roasted suckling pig, Li Xuan frowned and raised his left hand, and said to Zhong Chuhong next to him: "You can't still be a fan of that guy, are you? You are so excited and grabbed so tightly?"
Zhong Chuhong, who was just excited, glared at Li Xuan when he heard this: "Hmph! How about I am his fan? I think I can hold it tightly, so let go of my hand."
"Hehe, don't let it go!" Li Xuan said as he stretched out the little hand he held in his left hand to his nose and smelled it hard. It smelled so good!
"Virtue!"
Zhong Chuhong gave Li Xuan a blank look.
"You two... are so sour!" Wang Jin, who was standing on the other side of Li Xuan, couldn't stand it anymore and muttered.
"You and your younger brother and sister-in-law were not like this before?" Li Xuan said contemptuously.
"Uh... I'm too lazy to talk to you." Wang Jin began to change the topic and pointed to a group of people in the Hong family class standing not far away and said, "Why do I feel that many people in the Hong family class have strange faces today?"
Weird? Li Xuan looked up. Sure enough, many people looked weird, especially Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying, both of whom were stern, frowned and confused.
"I'll go over and ask." Li Xuan said, then pulled Zhong Chuhong and walked towards Hong Jingbao. His current gossip fire is burning. When Chenglong's new movie is on, the brothers have such expressions. Something is wrong.
"Brother Sanmao?" Li Xuan shouted in a low voice.
Hong Jingbao, who was struggling, turned to look at Li Xuan and asked, "Xuanzai, what's the matter?"
"Nothing big is happening, it's just..." Li Xuan pointed to Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying next to him: "It's just that you and Brother Ying look wrong, come over and ask if something happened."
"No, nothing big deal." Hong Jingbao paused and continued: "It's just that the name of Aaron's movie is too wrong."
The name of the movie? Something is wrong? Li Xuan was confused. The name of junior brother is good.
Looking at Li Xuan with a confused face, Hong Jingbao looked around and whispered: "My master is filming in the United States now, and his name is "Master Takes Horse"..."
Li Xuan opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise: "Are you talking about Master Yu, Master Yu making a movie in the United States? And it's called "Master Takes Horse"?"
"Yes!" Hong Jingbao nodded solemnly.
Yu Zhanyuan, a martial artist and opera artist. Born in Beijing in the chaotic times in the early 20th century, he was a famous Beijing opera actor when he was young. After going to Hong Kong, he sang on stage and acted on the screen. He founded the "Chinese Academy of Drama Research" and received many disciples, such as Hong Jingbao, Chenglong, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying, etc.
However, Yu Zhanyuan's own achievements in movies were average and he did not make any top-notch movies. However, the apprentices he taught made a name for themselves. His daughter Yu Suqiu played the leading role in works such as "The Palm of Tathagata" in the 1960s.
The Hong Kong movies in 1979 were when the academic school led by Tsui Hark and Xu Anhua blended with the family school that was inherited from the former Hong Kong master-apprentice. At this time, Chenglong knew that his master was filming a movie called "Master Comes" and named his movie "Junior Brother Comes". Isn't this a scolding?
If Chenglong's movie was first released, will others say that he followed his apprentice when Yu Zhanyuan's movie was released? You should know that there were many followers with similar names after "Drunk Boxing" was released last year. If Chenglong's movie was released later than Yu Zhanyuan, with Chenglong's popularity at this time, the box office would definitely be better than his master's. At that time, someone would probably say that the Yangtze River's waves pushed the previous waves, and the previous waves had already died on the beach.
What a weird movie name? Will Chenglong change it?
Hong Jingbao was still confused, while Li Xuan continued to watch the worship ceremony with a good show.
Not long after, the ceremony ended. Zou Wenhuai, He Chuchang and Chenglong walked towards Li Xuan and the others. These three big guys did not dare to let them come to him, so Li Xuan and Hong Jingbao quickly met him.
"Mr. Zou, Mr. He, Mr. Cheng, I wish the movie a great success!" Li Xuan quickly said it first, just five or six meters away from both sides.
"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai laughed: "Mr. Li, we should give you this sentence first!"
"Haha, it's all the same. It's good if two movies don't compete!" Li Xuan said with a smile while shook hands with the three of them. However, his words contained a layer of temptation. He really didn't want to compete with Chenglong. With that guy's current popularity in Hong Kong, the box office of his movies in one fight was probably at least hundreds of thousands.
"No, no." Zou Wenhuai gave Li Xuan a satisfactory answer: "Along's movie probably has to wait for half a year to be released."
After hearing this, Li Xuan and Hong Jingbao were both stunned. In Hong Kong, a movie has basically been completed in less than two months. Except for those who are striving for excellence, few people filmed more than four months.
"Why did it take so long?" Li Xuanqi asked.
Zou Wenhuai sighed intentionally: "Isn't this little brat Aaron? The movie must be called "Junior Brother". Isn't Master Yu filming "Master Master"? We plan to be on Aaron's movie two or three months after the release of the movie "Master Master"."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Li Xuan nodded. After two or three months, the controversy could indeed be much less.
"By the way, how did your movies make?" Zou Wenhuai asked.
"Yes, the filming went smoothly. Brother Sanmao and the others are the best in Hong Kong." Li Xuan took a shot of Hong Jingbao's flattery.
"That's good, that's good. If there are any difficulties, just tell me!"
"Well, then I'm really welcome until then."
"Haha, it's better to be young, you're so bold!" Zou Wenhuai patted Li Xuan's shoulder, then turned to look at He Chuchang and Chenglong and said, "That Chuchang, Ah Long, you guys go for yours, it's important to film."
"Yes." He Chuchang, who was standing aside, nodded: "Along, let's go, the construction is on!"
Looking at the backs of He Chuchang and Chenglong leaving, Li Xuan smiled and said, "What? Should Boss Zou go to our place to explore the squad?"
"Go! You guy." Zou Wenhuai deliberately glared at Li Xuan: "What class should I visit for your company's movies? I even had an appointment for dinner at noon, so I have to leave quickly."
"Oh, you are always busy with noble people! Then I'll give it to Boss Zou." Li Xuan gestured with his left hand and said.
"You, you..." Zou Wenhuai looked at Li Xuan helplessly, turned around and walked outside the set, and asked Hong Jingbao next to him while walking: "Sanmao, I heard that your movie is not a kung fu comedy?"
"No..." Hong Jingbao shook his head: "The style is similar, but the kung fu is not the main focus."
"That's good, there are many ways to live. Although comedy kung fu movies are popular now, it feels like the prospects are not as clear as the old martial arts movies in the 1950s."
After hearing this, Hong Jingbao suddenly lost his voice. Li Xuan turned to look at Sammo Hung, but his face was bitter. He was probably hit by Boss Zou. But Li Xuan couldn't say anything. The comedy kung fu film was indeed popular for a few years and it fell down.
The three of them had no words for a moment and walked around silently.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the set, Zou Wenhuai suddenly stood still and looked forward. A noise was coming from the front. Li Xuan looked up and found a large group of people in front of him surrounding the front of a white sedan.
That's Zou Wenhuai's car, Li Xuan has seen it several times in Jiahe.
What were those people looking at? Li Xuan looked at Zou Wenhuai who was silent, thought about it and squeezed into the crowd alone.
"Give me!" Li Xuan squeezed in, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the porcelain white front cover, there was a bloody dog head placed!
