"Mr. Chen, this is the box office statistics report for the first week of "Industry Rules". Jiang Zhiqiang handed a gray cardboard folder to Chen Chong and introduced: "70,000, Shaw Brothers will not have a new movie released next week, so it basically locked in the box office championship in January."

"This is a pretty good result, and the cost has basically been recovered." Chen Chong took the folder, browsed it carefully, and said, "Where is Weng Weiquan? Does he have any plans to make a new movie?"

"Not yet." Jiang Zhiqiang said: "I heard that a British company asked him to go to Indonesia to shoot a documentary, but he is still considering it."

Chen Chong said oh, and said nothing more. Both parties were very happy with this cooperation. Weng Weiquan had plans to shoot a movie in the future, and I believe he would come to him on his own initiative.

During the filming of "Industry Rules", he was attending a conference in the mainland, so he did not intervene at all. However, the filming was very exciting, not only high quality, but also quite innovative and pioneering.

"The Rules of Initiative" is a film about the police fighting with drug dealers and fighting drugs. The protagonist is a police detective, loyal to him and hates evil. He uses informants to investigate the drug dealers' leaders. Unexpectedly, there are traitors inside the police. In the end, the protagonist and informants were plotted against and both died of life.

The whole movie entangles, chases, fights hard, and carries between the police, informants and drug dealers, reveals various problems in the bureaucratic system of the Hong Kong police. Some people sabotage each other, some people seek credit, some people corruption, and some people who are in filthy and bold in the plot and the style is tough and realistic. Almost all police and gangster movies in Hong Kong in later generations can find shadows from them.

The quality of the film is good, but what Chen Chong likes is Weng Weiquan's attitude towards filming the movie. In order to shoot the movie, he collected a large amount of information in advance. Not only did he go to the police station to investigate, but he also took risks and lived in the gathering place of drug users for more than half a month, observing the real situation of drug use and drug trafficking. During the filming, he knew about drug testing, drug trafficking routes, informant prices, police paparazzi tracking and other information, so the details in the film are very real and shocking.

There is never a shortage of talented people in the Chinese film industry, but talented and sincere are really rare, so Weng Weiquan deserves great training.

Because of this, Chen Chong was not stingy with marketing costs. The production cost of "Industry Rules" was only 00,000 yuan. Chen Chong gave Zhu Jiading a budget of RU 10,000 yuan to promote the drama. Not only did he go to newspapers and magazines, he also specially cut a trailer and played TV commercials on H for the first time for two nights.

"Mr. Chen, Director Yu has asked several times when will his "Battle List" be released?"

"Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival." Chen Chong put down the document and said, "The Spring Festival is a festive day, and no one likes to watch horror movies."

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll go out first if I have nothing to do."

"Wait a minute." Chen Chong asked: "I heard that Brother Jiang Zhiwen is editing a documentary about World War II. Is it about to be released?"

"Not yet." Jiang Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "It's still being cut, and it may be released at the end of February.

"I'm quite interested in documentaries." Chen Chong wrote a note on the memo and said, "Can you show me in advance if you have finished it?"

"No problem. When my brother is done, I will send it to President Chen as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

After Jiang Zhiqiang left, Chen Chong leaned on the office chair, thinking about something.

During the process of film trading, it is often the case that film dealers add a bunch of junk films to pack together and sell them to independent screeners at high prices. The Jiang family has been operating an independent film dealer for decades and bought a large amount of discarded films from all over Europe and the United States. Jiang Zhiqiang's elder brother Jiang Zhiwen, one day, had a sudden idea to re-edit a bunch of films about World War II, and put them out to show them. Unexpectedly, it aroused the curiosity of Hong Kong audiences, and sold them for a special sale, with a box office of over 9UU,000 Hong Kong dollars, setting a miracle in the history of Hong Kong films. As a documentary, he became the second-place box office of 19RU.

After the film was screened, it caused a political storm. The Taiwanese authorities were very dissatisfied with some of the contents. They also found a lot of films about World War II, cut them into documentaries, and came to Hong Kong to screen, and fight back against "The Tribulation of War".

Chen Chong was very interested in this legendary movie. He planned to take a look. If possible, he also planned to shoot several documentaries. Although documentaries are unpopular in the movie and are difficult to get high box office, it has a very special advantage - during the shooting process, you can contact all kinds of people and easily establish a wide network of interpersonal relationships. If you shoot well, you can get a bigger and higher halo of honor than commercial movies.

"Stop here, go back here and put it back again." Chen Chong looked at the sample film for a while in the trial room of Jiahe set, and said, "Stop here."

"Mr. Shen." Sammo Hung, who was sitting beside him, asked, "Is there any problem?"

"This action scene is not good." Chen Chong said bluntly: "The routine is too obvious, a bit pretentious, not refreshing enough."

I felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he stood up, walked to the screen, gestured to the picture, "This opponent, you see his muscles, obviously, cannot be knocked down with one punch or two punches. However, in this plot, you need to quickly put him down and then escape so that you can feel nervous. Therefore, you should not use the routine of posing and fighting each other, but should wait for him to sneak attack immediately as soon as he enters the door, hit him in the vital points, such as the throat or joints, and make him lose his ability to move within a few seconds."

"Senior brother, come and try it for me."

Sammo Hung stood up and greeted Han Yingjie. He walked to the screen. The two worked together for many years. After a few words, they began to try the tricks. Han Yingjie played a terrorist and pretended to walk into a door. Sammo Hung used a kick and sweep action to knock him down, then turned over and pressed him down, punched him a few times in the face, then looked up and asked, "Mr. Chen, what about this?"

"This is too simple and not refreshing enough." Chen Chong frowned and shook his head and said, "Faster and more fierce."

After the two stood up, Chen Chong thought for a while, picked up a bottle of drink placed next to the seat, and said, "Brother Sanmao, you use this as a pistol and act as a terrorist. I'll try it."

Sammo Hung took the bottle, held it in his hand, and pretended to walk a few steps.

Chen Chong is not a martial arts boy, nor has the experience of martial arts coaching. However, he has never eaten pork and has never watched Pig Run? After watching a large number of action movies, he naturally thought of some classic action scenes.

"Hey, the two of you suddenly met at the door. You first grab the bandit's wrist with your right hand, and at the same time raise your legs to kick his stomach, and immediately raise your left elbow and smash his nose." Chen Chong was very slow, and he explained while doing it: "Then use force to break his wrist with your right hand, then trip him with your legs, pull his shoulders backwards, control him, and finally kick his head."

He talked a lot about it before explaining the set of actions he remembered in his mind. This is a plagiarism of the action of Liam Neeson in "Hurricane Rescue" when he was protecting the singer at the opening. This set of actions is simple and smooth. If combined with appropriate editing and simulating effects, the visual impact is very strong.

Sammo Hung is experienced and remembers it once. He and Han Yingjie cooperated with each other and then started to play tricks, and soon performed the moves that Shen Chong had just designed.

Chen Chong's movements were soft and motionless, and Sammo Hung's performance was full of strength and speed, sharp and rapid, which made him amazed.

"No, not bad, that's the feeling." Chen Chong nodded repeatedly and said, "It's necessary to hit the protagonist's agile skill and decisive character in one blow."

"Mr. Chen's style doesn't look like a kung fu movement." Han Yingjie stood up and said, "It's a bit like the boxing technique trained by the police."

"Brother Han is smart." Chen Chong smiled and said nonsense: "There are only two key points in action scenes, one is that the fight is good, and the other is that the fight is good. I have watched the training of the police force. They do not talk about false etiquette, but only talk about lethality, so each action is very indirect, and they pursue the subduing of opponents in the shortest time. If they can be expressed quickly, the audience will watch it very well, so this style is worth learning from."

Han Yingjie nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Chen is right. This action is somewhat similar to Bruce Lee's thoughts back then. It is simple and direct, and it is very pleasant to play."

After he finished speaking, he patted Sammo Hung on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Chen specially invited the nutritionist to come, which made Sanmao lose seven or eight kilograms. Otherwise, even if his beer belly is done, this set of movement will not be majestic enough."
