Bidding is talking...

Shen Changlin took the prepared information and spoke frankly: "Chinese sailors were killed in the Golden Triangle. The Ministry of Public Security set up a special operation to identify and destroy the large transnational drug manufacturing and trafficking syndicates with thunderous means... This is a commonly used three-stage Hollywood structure. I have been thinking about how to shoot the domestic main theme? Like an American commercial production? But I feel it is not suitable..."

"Not suitable?"

"Because the political correctness of the United States is personal, and our political correctness is collective and national... Our commercial giants should contain the unique national, family and country sentiments of the big Eastern countries!"

"... Tell me what you think!"

"The conventional shooting method is one front, one undercover, full cooperation, sea, land and air, 250 million investment, a real blockbuster!"

"Like "007" or "Mission: Impossible"?"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Shen Changlin asked with a smile: "Can we not only show the warriors, but also let the audience feel the national power behind them..."

"...national power?"

"I want to add a narration!"

"…What narration?"

"It's a joke, it's just the comments on the Internet... Many netizens said before that we can only protest, condemn, don't dare to send troops, and make all kinds of mockery of 'your country'... The Mekong River incident slapped these people in the face!"

"Okay...then what is "Operation Icebreaker"?"

""Operation Icebreaker"... This is the sequel to "Big Shot" that we planned before..."

"You anticipated our move?"

"No, the first part of "Big Shot" targets the rich second generation, the second part targets D dealers, and the third part targets spies. These are all planned... It's just that the reputation of China's first D village is too famous. Last year we The script has been changed..."

"...How do you want to shoot?"

"It depends on what scale is allowed... Can the umbrella be photographed?"

"...No problem, we will check this thing ourselves!"

Shen Changlin's face was full of joy: "That's no problem, I promise to make an excellent work!"

"Where's the box office?"

"Both of these two movies are worth 1 billion+... By the way, if Golden Shield Film and Television has ideas, they can also work together on the project. With you here, we can also ask for advice on many details when creating..."

"...Director, who are you going to find?"

"Hong Kong director Lam Chiu-hsien is very suitable for this type of large-scale commercial production!"

"Lin Chaoxian?"

"I will serve as the producer and control the situation!"

"Can't you be the director yourself?"

Shen Changlin smiled bitterly: "My movie schedule is already full..."

…

Compared with Wu Yusen, Xu Ke and other great directors with numerous works, Lin Chaoxian is actually not famous!

No matter which list you are on, among the top ten Hong Kong directors there is no one like Lam Chiu-hsien!

On the one hand, he made his debut too late. He only directed his film debut "G4 Agent" in 1997...

Among Hong Kong directors, Lam Chiu-hsien cannot be said to be outstanding. He can only be classified into the category of those who have made films but have no amazing movies.

Among the numerous Hong Kong directors, there is nothing memorable about Lam Chiu-hsien's films...

It’s second rate…

But he had his highlight moments. "The Informant" and "The Witness" won two gold statuettes...

The police films produced by Lin Chaoxian during this period did not attract attention with the explosive gun battles, but gained depth by exploring the inner world of the police...

But it makes no sense. In the 1980s, when Hong Kong movies were most popular, they attracted attention with their natural comedy and dramatic action. Without these elements, if Hong Kong movies tried to dig deep into the souls of characters like European movies, That is undoubtedly a loss.

Later, it may have been inflated. The filming of the ambitious "Reverse War" was launched. It was claimed that the investment was 200 million yuan, but in the end the box office was only 130 million yuan after the full box office. It can be said that the loser was a loser. A rough calculation showed that the investor's loss amounted to 130 million yuan.

billion.

But he doesn't care, after all, this drama is Qiankun Starlight's main investment - just like "Little Soldiers", it also stars Lin Peng!

They fully financed the production, unlike He Moujuan, who only had 20 million to play the role of a vase with no lines!

In fact, the battle scenes in "Reverse War" are very good.

The problem is, the logic in this movie is very confusing!

Hong Kong has long since returned to the motherland, but Lam Chao-hsien has no sense of nationality in this movie. The protagonist Zhou Jialun's family is in BJ, but he has an inexplicable strange identity of the "International Security Bureau". What kind of organization is this?

Wrong character positioning, empty character settings, and narrow Hong Kong movie sentiments all make it difficult for "Reverse War" to make big waves.

But this scene made Lin Chaoxian master the shooting method of war + action!

Lin Chaoxian is familiar with "Operation Mekong". In fact, the movie is her regular routine: one is an informant, and the other is a gunfight.

And these two elements, when added to the Chinese national background, immediately revitalized Lin Chaoxian's film, which was already seriously tired of visual fatigue and tired of content.

In the original time and space, the street fighting between police and criminals in "Operation Mekong" was top-notch, but when it came to the level of a war scene like the final battle at the end, it was still awkward.

First of all, the time drags on too long and the rhythm is not grasped well. Secondly, the scene scheduling. The director is very familiar with the use of terrain in slums, train stations, and shopping malls, but when it comes to jungle tunnels, it seems a bit monotonous.

And... it may be the first time to shoot such a large-scale production, and the whole thing has a budget that is too big and I don’t know how to spend it, and it feels like playing house with your hands.

These need improvement!

As for how Shen Changlin got in touch with Lin Chaoxian... this is very simple, just send an invitation!

After Lam Chiu-hsien screwed up "The Fight", he only made a low-budget movie about boxing fighting called "The Fight" in 2013. This movie was full of clichés and uninteresting...

Can’t get invitations for big projects!

Changlin Film and Television extended the invitation and naturally took over.

…

"Is it possible to find a Hong Kong director to make a commercial film with this main theme?"

"They are all Chinese-speaking filmmakers, Hong Kong directors, that's called the Greater Bay Area!"

Guo Songjiang had some concerns, but Shen Changlin convinced him with one sentence: "Moreover, the superiors have been urging me to cooperate... This time, I don't see who can say that I am narrow-minded... By the way, I will serve as the producer of this drama, and the starring role must be from the Mainland.

actor!"

"Okay...who should I look for?"

"Wu Jing + Chen Xiao...go and ask Chen Xiao if he has any ideas about transforming into a tough guy..."

"no problem!"

Yang Fan had a different opinion: "The male lead in "Operation Icebreaker" is also Wu Jing... It's not very suitable!"

"...Yes, I forgot about this...then go find Wang Qianyuan!"

“…OK, I’ve written it down!”

After a brief discussion between the three of them, the roles were decided.

As for whether they will refuse?

Do you think all actors are Huang Guizhu? When others ask for cooperation, he ignores them?

Don’t rush into Shen Changlin’s drama!

"In terms of investment...who should I look for for cooperation?"

"...ask about the light, Wanda, and by the way, the Emperor..."

Hearing this, Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Some time ago, people from Ahli approached me and wanted to strategically invest in us!"

“…how much to invest?”

"3.6 billion..."

"Holy shit, is this a strategic investment or an acquisition?"
Chapter completed!
