Shanghai in the last century was the "glorious place" of Chinese films.

After a major change, China's film industry changed from being the only one in Shanghai to three important "circles" - the Beijing Circle, the Shanghai Circle and the Hong Kong Circle.

Zhang Guorong happens to be in contact with these three circles!

In fact, when it comes to the mind of Hong Kong filmmakers, we have to mention an actor, Zhang Guorong!

In the early years, many of the staff and masters in Hong Kong had no jobs and could only go north to make money. This mentality came to mainland China to make movies. In their eyes, the mainland funders were all stupid and rich rich people. They didn’t understand movies at all, and they couldn’t say that they were wrong. However, when your mentality became perfunctory, it would be difficult for you to make a good movie!

Investors have similar mentality. I asked you to come because I just like your signature, the faces of these superstars! What I want is just the star effect!

This phenomenon has led to the structure of almost all mainstream configurations from 2002 to 2012, from the 10 years from 2002 to 2012. There is no so-called fusion at all. There is only Leng Bingbing's cooperation or even transactions.

The final result is that the ten years of co-production have destroyed the creative power of a generation of Hong Kong directors and the golden age of a generation of mainland male movie stars!

Of course, it also consumed the opportunity to cultivate and sacrifice the new generation in Hong Kong...

What did Zhang Guorong do?

Judging from the information left behind in the first movie "Stealing Heart" he devoted his efforts to film, this movie that originally absorbed the capital of the mainland and filmed in the mainland, all the new generation of young actors from the mainland - Hu Jun and Ning Jing - there are some other things online, but the two people are more unified.

That was in 2003!

Not only that, when all Chinese-speaking actors and directors fell into collective confusion when facing the crushing of Hollywood, he was always the one who believed that Chinese films should use the vast market in the mainland as the basis and use their own team to build a world-class film industry.

Twenty years of Lu Xiaoran…

Many people say that if Zhang Guorong is alive, he will most likely fall from the altar...

After all, can his talent not support him to be sought after by the market?

No one knows!

Moreover, with his personality - even Chow Yun-fat and John Woo, he directly criticized him. He is likely to say frankly today, maybe he will be desperate to surround the fan circle!

Only mediocre people in the world have no blame or reputation. Those who praise the world often slander the world.

It’s different. Although he loves Hong Kong, he truly recognizes his Chinese identity, and he is not as confused as a Hong Kong identity.

Such people will definitely shine in such an era!

...

In early February, Lam Feng arrived in Cheung Chau with excitement.

A region in Hong Kong.

Located between Lantau Island and Lamma Island, about 10 kilometers away from Hong Kong.

The character he plays is Chen Mao, Li Zicheng's younger brother, and also an undercover agent of the police...

The book of "New World" is actually derived from "Infernal Affairs".

The largest gangster in Hong Kong, the chairman of Huaqing Group, was revealed and died suddenly in a car accident, and the rights were vacuumed.

The second-ranked character, Zhang Xiuji, lost power in internal strife in his early years. He was a tiger with teeth drawn. He had the reputation of competing for president but had no strength;

The third character, Ding Qing, is an cynical and rough man on the surface, but in fact, he has a strong competitor to the president;

The fourth person, Li Zhongjiu, is the right-hand man of former president Shi Dongchu, who is deeply trusted by the president, but he is anxious and has a strong temperament. In the end, he cannot withstand the police's provocation and fighting with Ding Qing, both of which are hurt...

Ding Qing's brother Li Zicheng, also an undercover agent who was placed in the gang by the police, was forced to make a choice.

On the surface, the male lead is Li Zhongjiu played by Gu Tianfeng, but in fact, the male lead is Ding Qing played by Huang Bo!

The success of this character is directly determined by the success of the movie.

Ding Qing is the key to the conflict between the police and the gang. He is far-sighted and sees through the police's layout, and is cruel and ruthless in breaking the police's undercover siege, making Section Chief Jiang anxious and eager to use the most important chess piece Li Zicheng, causing a situation where everything is lost.

The character Ding Qing is very complicated, combining cynical, ruthless, and politeness. He also switches freely in these modes, making people confused, sometimes relaxed and humorous, sometimes creepy...

So, Lu Xiaoran made sure to let Huang Bo play this character as soon as possible!

The others really can't get them.

Lin Feng is not short of money or reputation now, but he lacks good resources - look at his works in recent years, "The Great Han Dynasty's Sages and Guards", "Six Doors", "One World"...

He hopes to use "New World" to enter the Orange System...

Everyone knows that the Orange System is the top producer of movie content in the mainland or the entire Chinese-speaking region!

When he arrived at the scene, Huang Bo was following a few Korean martial arts guides to rehearse the movements - the elevator god of war, and he had to rehearse well...

His agent ran over and said, "Here you come!"

"Well...whether the director?"

"I'm talking to Teacher Liang Jiahui!"

“Tony is here too?”

Liang Jiahui's English name is tony leung ka fai, usually in Hong Kong, and everyone calls him tony teacher...

"Does Director Lu have any habits in filming?"

“…It’s normal to have no habits, but you can do it well.”

Lin Feng was a little nervous: "He swears?"

"Don't scold people... I heard from the crew that he rarely teaches actors to act during filming, and most of them let the actors perform themselves, but they like it once, so the actors must be fully prepared!"

"That's good, I'll go find Gu Sir..."

Lin Feng and Gu Tianfeng have a good relationship, and the fate they formed in "The Legend of Qin" back then...

Later, he was recommended to act in "Anti-Corruption Storm 4".

...

“…Ribene has an izakaya culture, we don’t have it!”

Liang Jiahui humbly asked Lu Xiaoran about the director's questions. He...he is filming the movie version of "Late Night Cafeteria"...

Lu Xiaoran doesn't catch a cold...

"Unless you can switch to a food stall!"

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "No, the copyright stipulates that it must be an izakaya. Also, if you want to adapt "Late Night Canteen" must be based on the original character image, and you cannot even change the scars on your face."

Do you really think that the producers in China are all fools?

He doesn't want to change it to another style?

That's what the copyright holder stipulates!

“…then push it!”

After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued: "Do you know why I am shooting crime-themed science fiction films now?"

"Why?"

"Because we are seriously separated from the masses, don't impose our ideas on the masses. It's good to admit that we are not enough!"

"But I've already taken it, and I want to release it quickly after the drama version of "Late Night Cafeteria" is launched..."

"...Anyway, I have to say that we don't eat midnight snacks in Izakaya. If we don't change this, we will fail."

It is not that Izakaya is not good, but that this is not our culture. The Japanese people are concerned about self-discipline and rejuvenation, and do not cause trouble for others, so they sit in the Izakaya with a straight face. This is their culture.

Where are us?

Most Chinese people who go out to find food late at night prefer the excitement and popularity!

"…I'm giving this face, I should be able to attract many friends..."

“Good luck…”

Lao Liang has been in trouble for decades, how could he stop taking photos just because Lu Xiaoran is not optimistic?

Don't make money?

Haha, the copyright owner bought "Late Night Cafeteria" and was about to be on the drama version first and then on the film version. No one expected that the drama version would go directly to the street. After the film version was filmed, he didn't dare to go on...

Later, there was no choice. Two years later, I chose a cold schedule to release it...

Useless, the flop is the flop!
Chapter completed!
