Chapter 95 Style
When a script is completed and you are interested in investing in the filming, the investor looks at the director's status and the actor cast to pay.
For example, if you want to shoot an action movie, you may only have 10 million. If you want to ask your elder brother to come, you may have to reach 70 million.
This is called the joint role of personal value.
This has always been like this!
Now it is basically a wilderness of capital. Many movie investors just look at people placing orders. If you can invite Liu Dehua, then I will give you 60 million!
If you understand the market a little bit and consider the subject matter, you may not dare to take risks, but you will also find a few more partners to try...
Movie investment itself is gambling...
...
Hong Kong, Lv Xiaoran has watched it many times in the movie, and many scenes have been engraved deep in his heart: a crowded city, a small convenience store, a bar with noisy bars, an ancient Hong Kong old street…
Especially in Tsim Sha Tsui, "The True Story of Ah Fei" and "Young and Dangerous" made this place that I had never been to inexplicably feel more intimate.
So, after Lu Xiaoran arrived in Hong Kong, he first prepared to take a walk...
How to say it?
A little disappointed!
There is no warm tone in the movie at all, but it is also completely ruined.
Yes, the dilapidated city has a Hong Kong flavor, but occasionally there is a hint of emotion that "this is too dilapidated" will flash.
Do people who live here really want to keep this down and out?
It’s not that it is not prosperous, but that there are too many places where it declines outside of it: there are paper shells on the overpass on the Guangdong Road. There are no bowls placed in front of the sleeping person as a bed. It is not a beggar who asks for money, but a truly homeless person, and there is more than one.
It is too cruel to compare with the surrounding tall buildings, which are bustling with stars.
The city of Hong Kong is so suitable for making movies.
On the one hand, as the world's financial center, the magnificent and modern skyscrapers are lined up one after another, with swords and swords, and what is swelling is full of futuristic and technological sense;
On the other hand, there are rusty and dilapidated buildings, bustling and narrow and chaotic streets, and people of all kinds of skin color shuttle and pass by, with the surface disorder and out of control and aggressiveness.
All-inclusive and ever-changing, the coexistence of the old and the coexistence of the old and the impact of each other.
A mixture of extreme beauty and extreme ugliness creates a strange scene.
These factors also add some factors to the new century Hong Kong films.
Unfortunately, the talented directors in Hong Kong have long been successful and unwilling to make movies that match the current Hong Kong market!
It is estimated that Hong Kong audiences are not willing to see such movies in theaters and they are more willing to watch some simple visual enjoyment, such as Hollywood blockbusters...
The audiences all over the world are the same...
Shaking his head, stopping a taxi, and Lu Xiaoran went to the agreed restaurant.
...
Lu Xiaoran actually met Liu Dehua. When "Stone" was premiered in Beijing, he saw him once, but there were too many people around him, so Lu Xiaoran was embarrassed to come forward to say hello.
Liu Dehua received the news the day before yesterday. Ning Hao said that there was a script that suited him very well. Liu Dehua thought it was his newly written script, and then Ning Hao told him that it was Lu Xiaoran's work...
Lu Xiaoran and Liu Dehua certainly knew this person.
Last year, a film "Border Storm" won 66.8 million yuan in mainland box office, but it actually tied with the mainland box office of "Mo Gong"...
Ranked fourth in the 2007 annual Chinese movie box office rankings!
No matter which market or when, you are awesome!
New directors have appeared in the mainland, and the movies are good and the box office is very high.
Many Hong Kong and Taiwan investors and filmmakers have noticed him...
After all, it is rare to recover costs through the box office market these days.
He was quite interested in the plot of "Save Mr. Wu".
Of course, as the boss of a film and television company, he has a lot of people to support. It is impossible to take a movie just because he is interested. At least he has to understand the director's level.
Then he asked the assistant to download "Border Storm", and he wanted to watch...
Unconventional editing, narrative and story, extremely particular details, a good combination of stylistic, literary style and genre films. I don’t act like a scoundrel just because of a small cost production. Is a small cost movie so high?
This director is a talent!
So, he turned down what happened today and met Lu Xiaoran in Luoji Restaurant.
"Brother Hua..."
After thinking for a long time, it is more appropriate to call me brother, although his age is absolutely worthy of being called a master...
Liu Dehua smiled, stood up and signaled him to sit down, and then said, "I heard you arrived last night. Have you visited Hong Kong in the morning?"
"I went to No. 1 Lehuo Road and looked at St. Margaret's Church!"
“…Why do you think of going there?”
"The Heaven If Love" was filmed there!"
"Which movie do you like?"
"Um!"
"The Heaven If Love", the movie was released in 1990. It was actually a Wang Tianlin retirement gift created by Chen Musheng, Du Qifeng, Zhu Jiayi, Lin Lingdong and Wang Jing!
Back then, Wang Tianlin left TVB because of his old age. His apprentices decided to make a movie, and then the money earned in this movie was to be given to Wang Tianlin as a retirement gift.
It's the story of a rich girl falling in love with a gangster!
It was filmed in two weeks and released in one month. As a result, the local land won a box office of 13 million yuan, and it was sold out in another land...
That's right, this movie is definitely a classic. Embrace each other in the sea of fire, racing in a wedding dress, running barefoot in a wedding dress, and having three clips worthy of being paid tribute to later works.
Wu Qianlian's purity, Andy Lau's bruised nose and swollen face are hard to hide her handsomeness, and Uncle Da's acting skills as the best supporting actor in the Academy Awards were the golden age of Hong Kong movies and the peak period for actors.
So, Chen Musheng took advantage of the victory and filmed three consecutive films...
Now looking at behind-the-scenes production, it is said that the luxury music is Luo Dayou, photography is Huang Yongheng, art is Cheng Yunan, and even the executive director is Luo Lixian!
"If Heaven Is Love" is also Liu Dehua's first peak.
Regarding various inventory of Liu Dehua, "The Heaven If Love" is an unavoidable work, and he himself also likes this movie.
Lu Xiaoran is called to meet his preferences!
Sure enough, when talking about "The Heaven Is Love", Liu Dehua's eyes lit up: "I remember shooting that movie, I was really beaten to death!"
“…I heard that the Hong Kong crew started working in the past, and the actors were really fighting?”
"Of course, if you don't come, the audience can see it..."
Liu Dehua talked about a past story, probably the Chengjia Class. When the Hong family class cooperated, the Hong family class played against each other in pairs, while the Chengjia Class was unwilling to take action with him.
After talking nonsense for a while, Lu Xiaoran said: "Brother Hua, you should know the purpose of my visit..."
Liu Dehua's face became serious: "Then tell me how you are going to take pictures?"
"Realistic style, handheld photography, our movie restores the kidnapping case that year by 80%. In fact, life itself is far more exciting than the movie. I think as long as we are realistic, the audience should still feel sincerity!"
"But if it's too realistic, the explosive points are not enough, and the box office is difficult to handle!"
"Don't worry, we have all thought about promotion and distribution. Since the filming started, we have started to build momentum online to make every target audience know about this movie. The distribution department is China Film and China Film's distribution capabilities, you should know!"
Liu Dehua nodded and then asked, "...Who are you going to find for that Huazi?"
Chapter completed!
