Extra three
"Actually, I have always admired the Hong Kong filmmakers in my early years, "Five Fortune Stars", "Best Partner"... classic works emerge in endlessly!"
"Let the light and shadow tell and use film to engrave it. I am especially grateful for the splendid scenes in my memory. I am even more grateful that I was not born ten years later. The information that my childhood and youth will not be flooded with explosions and films with large traffic, so that I can know what a good work is!"
"However, some bad styles in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have indeed affected the mainland!"
Chen Baixiang asked: "What about it, for example?"
"Unfascinated rules, gangsters, capital games."
Ng Mengda pointed out: "How many celebrities without financial backers can become popular? When they were kept in that era, the unspoken rules are all on the surface!"
Qian Jiale added: "If you want to film a big brother's scene, you have to go to bed with your big brother first!"
Lu Xiaoran quickly responded: "Who is the eldest brother?"
“…Uh…Big brother is the elder brother…”
"Haha... Let's talk about "The Wandering Earth", why did Da Ge take on this drama?"
"I read the script, but I actually couldn't understand it. The concept is too sci-fi... I don't really believe that this script was written by us Chinese!"
"But this is a science fiction production with an investment of nearly 500 million yuan. If the director finds me, it means that I can watch it. Of course I will come." Wu Mengda took over: "Later, I entered the crew and learned what a professional is. There are everything on the scene. The first time I saw a Chinese movie studio with a specialized infirmary and ambulance, which was actually shot in real scenes. This is called the film industry... Especially the prop group, I never knew that a movie could use more than 10,000 sets of props!"
"I'm 66 this year. I have the opportunity to make such a movie in my lifetime. It's worth it to be able to leave a page in our Chinese film history!"
"Our expectation of "The Wandering Earth" is 4 billion box office. As long as it exceeds this number, I will force Guo Fan to shoot a prequel of "The Wandering Earth", which tells the story of Han Zi'ang!"
Ng Mengda smiled silly: “…thank you…”
"Can you expect this movie to be a big hit?"
"I have also made movies for decades. I can tell at a glance that Guo Fan and the others are very serious and have a lot of enthusiasm..."
"Yes, Guo Fan really spent more than a year writing the chronicle of "The Wandering Earth" and making more than 6,000 concept pictures. He was stunned by me and then invested 500 million to him... Sometimes, a person's beliefs really affect people around him!"
Lu Xiaoran likes Ng Mengda very much.
He is an actor with a strong talent - he has a very strong ability to remember lines.
When Ng Man-tat is making a movie, he can memorize the entire line in one week without having to bring the script to the crew.
When filming "The White Tower", Wu Mengda beat Jerry Yan throughout the whole process...
Of course, acting is not only talent, but also depends on opportunities. Sometimes it is really impossible to say.
Uncle Da has never played the protagonist in his life!
In "Kangxi is Coming", Wu Mengda talked about his never playing the protagonist, and Xiao S was surprised, "You haven't played the protagonist? But are you so popular?"
"Where am I getting popular?"
Xiao S: "I'm very impressed by those characters you have in Stephen Chow's movies!"
"You said, "Stephen Chow's movies". The main and the order are clear!"
The saying that the wine is not afraid of being deep is not a problem in other industries is a panacea but it doesn’t work in the entertainment industry!
In the entertainment industry, luck is a very important factor. Whether there is a suitable work, whether it has an audience connection, or whether it has a strong operation team, is comparable to the acting skills of the entertainment industry, or even more important.
There are countless examples of not being famous for their acting skills!
Of course, Wu Mengda himself has worked with Stephen Chow for many years and has long fixed the role positioning of the gold medal Green Leaf, and it is really difficult to break through and become the leading role.
Similar ones are Wuma, which is also a gold medal green leaf.
In fact, compared to others, at least Uncle Da has achieved success!
...
"The positioning of this show can help you find a few more old friends and tell us about old news that we don't know. For example, you can ask Mr. Chen Huimin to talk about the relationship between the gangsters and Hong Kong movies back then!"
Chen Baixiang was a little worried: "Will that scale be too big?"
"No, you guys talk about you. If the program team thinks it is not suitable, they can just cut it in the later stage!"
Chen Huimin, the 14k gold medal thug, later crossed the border and started acting in a movie...
You may not know about this - Dongxing Camel!
"You can also invite Hong Jinbao, and a few people from Xinyi City back then... If you have the ability, invite Wang Tuanxian..."
"The possibility is not high. Wang Shuxian is not accepting media interviews now!"
"I'll just say it casually!"
After a few words, Lu Xiaoran left the recording center.
There is no point in recording this program, it is to invite some celebrities to talk about gossip and some things that are not.
The main thing is emotion.
It should be launched at the end of the year, just to warm up for "The Wandering Earth"!
Next year's Spring Festival is also known as the "most intense Spring Festival in history", and major film propaganda players have tried their best.
"The New King of Comedy", "Flying Life"…
With the blessing of Stephen Chow, starring Wang Baoqiang; Director Han Han and Shen Teng...
"The New King of Comedy", Orange didn't regard it as an opponent - this movie was made to make money!
The filming started in mid-October 2018 and was completed on November 26. It only took a little more than a month to shoot. It took two months to complete the editing, color tuning and sound effects and other post-production, and then it was rushing to release it - because the post-production of "Mermaid 2" is really endless.
Why can't I do it slowly if I can't finish it?
Why is Zhou Xingxing so anxious?
Bet!
What to achieve in performance - in 2017, New Culture invested 1.3 billion yuan in Zhou Xingxing's company.
Zhou Xingxing and Xin Culture signed a betting treaty. From 2016 to 2019, Zhou Xingxing promised to achieve net profits of 170 million, 221 million, 287.3 million and 361.7 million respectively, totaling 1.04 billion yuan. The part that is insufficient to be promised will be compensated and repurchased by Zhou Xingxing in cash.
Then, "Fu Yao Chapter" didn't make much money - the cost was too high!
"Mermaid 2" has not been completed later, what should I do?
Since I chose to play bet, I had to think of the consequences that I could not complete, so I hurriedly produced "The New King of Comedy"...
After all, things like movies still take time to polish...
Especially Zhou Xingchi's movies, from "Shaolin Football" to "Kung Fu" to "Yangtze River 7", a movie is released every three years!
It's so rushed...
The quality is imaginable!
"Flying Life" is said to cost 500 million!
I can only say that director Han’s ability to attract investment is amazing!
But there is no precedent for racing-type themes around the world to spend more than 70 million US dollars at one time to create an original racing-themed movie!
——In addition to Pixar’s “Racing General Story”…
You should know that the cost of "Hurry Romance" is about $45 million, starring Baron Zemo and Thor...
Some people may ask, what do those capitals think when choosing to invest?
Don't look at the subject matter?
Why do you dare to spend money to Mr. Han so much?
In fact, this is quite simple - capital is to trust the director!
Look, the quality of a literary work depends on the profession, but professionalism does not mean selling well.
The investor hates those production teams who talk about creative theories with them because these things are too empty and mysterious.
It’s useless to talk to them about these things, they just depend on your early results, and the same goes for Hollywood!
You have big stars and you have a big-name director. Once you have it, you will spend money to you!
"Flying Life" has director Han and Chen Teng, and a work scheduled for 2 billion...
"The Wandering Earth", science fiction work, directed by Guo Fan, and Lu Xiaoran retreated to the second line and became the producer...
No one knows how good it is!
Chapter completed!
