Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 44 Can You Make Movies at the Age of 20?
Time passed, and as the opening of the New World midnight screening was getting closer, a figure walked into the theater grabbing a notebook and a pen, found his seat, sat down, and looked at the two figures in front of him in surprise.

"Editor-in-Chief Shu, Editor-in-Chief Chen? You two are here too? Heh, it seems that Director Zhao, who came out of nowhere, has a lot of face!"

This figure is Huang Weiming, a reporter from Oriental Daily and a senior film critic. He is also a celebrity in the Hong Kong film industry, Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng. Shu and Chen are well-known in the film industry. How many good films have you made?

It was these two who founded the film biweekly and also the founders of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

It was only 1983, and the Academy Awards were only held twice, both in March and April each year, and the first one was so-so.

However, with the current development trend, there are signs that the Golden Statue Awards are getting better and better. Huang Weiming himself has received an invitation, so he has little interest in this...

It was because of some rumors that I wanted to come and see what happened.

It is rumored that he is a young man who is more than 19 years old. Has his hair grown up?He received a 500 million capital injection from Shao Daheng, and he still supported the filming from camera rental to various props, to behind-the-scenes, actors, and theaters.

Such a person makes a movie?Is it a joke, or is it just playing around with some background and wealth?He came to see the excitement, if the movie doesn't work, then don't blame him for spouting in all directions, making the other party self-closing and suspicious of life.

Movies are not something you can control with just two dollars.

As for Hong Yubao to the media, many people have heard this wonderful rumor, why?It's true that Zhao Donghuai invested several million yuan to make a movie, and the 300 million yuan in it was also borrowed from Boss Shao.

Shaw's screening from one to one hundred is really a one-stop package.

It is impossible for Zhao Donghuai to explain where his money comes from everywhere, and Shao Yifu will not talk nonsense, but some people will talk nonsense for the sake of face... For example, those who wanted to cheat money to get rich, but later did not dare to cheat because of friendship and harmony.

Waiting for outside colleagues to ridicule how much money they have made, and dare not say that they have no guts to spend money, it would be so embarrassing, just explain that Shao Daheng fully invested and supported them, so they dared not.

In this case, it looks good!

Rumor has it that the behind-the-scenes fear of Shao Daheng in Shaw Brothers movies is better than being afraid of a pure newcomer, right?
When Huang Weiming first arrived, he saw the founders of the two Golden Statue Awards sitting in front of them, and they were quite interested in talking.

Under his words, Shu Qi smiled and nodded, "Amin, you are here too? You are all here, of course it shows that some people have a lot of face."

Huang Weiming laughed, "Don't let Editor-in-Chief Shu say that. I heard that the director has full support from Shao Daheng? With such confidence, who's kid seems to be under 20 years old?"

"What nonsense, can you make a movie at the age of 20? It's like playing a house."

Chen Bosheng also laughed, "Whether it's a play or not, you'll know it at the beginning of the movie. If the filming is not good, let alone a waste of money, those sugarcane biters behind..."

When he looked behind him, Huang Weiming also turned his head to take a look, looking forward to it.

There are many Cane Biters who really like watching movies.

If the play is not good, it is the sugar cane hitting the back of the chair, and the bagasse in the mouth is sprayed and smashed.

Regardless of whether it is in later generations or now, whether a movie is good or bad, publicity is very important, and quality and word-of-mouth cannot be ignored. The sugarcane biting gang can be regarded as a group of unique word-of-mouth people.

It's similar to those of them who hold a pen, but the pen fires in newspapers and magazines, and the biting sugarcane gangs often do things in reality.

"This New World promotion is not bad. I've seen the trailer once or twice on TV. It's a bit of a style, like a male model catwalk... Those who didn't know thought he was filming a commercial or a fashion show."

"I hope you won't be hit too hard later!"

Huang Weiming complained again, and began to look for the main creative team with his eyes. He didn't know Zhao Donghuai, but Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, etc. still knew that they were all TV star niches.

After finding the approximate location, and then looking at the large cinemas that were already half-occupied one after another, Huang Weiming said again, "This is nearly [-]% of the attendance rate? It's ok, it's another one who catches the popularity of going to the beach."

"Shao Daheng is a bit careless. Shaw has been rubbed twice, and even let newcomers rub. What a waste of the reputation of Shanghai Bund Nuo University!"

Chen Bosheng also shook his head helplessly, "Shanghai Beach, what a classic TV series, even Zhou Runfa has fallen, even if he is box office poison, he shouldn't waste his accumulated popularity like this!"

As they talked, their moods were still changing, when the lights in the projection hall were turned off, and many chaotic voices were also quieted down.

Chen Bosheng, Shu Qi and Huang Weiming stopped chatting.

No matter how much you didn't like the first work of this new director when you came here, it's just started, it's better to take a serious look.

When the big screen was officially turned on, and the familiar "SB" soundtrack and credits flickered, Huang Weiming opened his notebook to record the spray points.

Anyway, he firmly believes that young people under the age of 20 should make movies?Impossible to shoot well, it's just playing house, playing around, wasting money and human and material resources.

After the "Shaw Brothers' SB title", the title of Zhao Films flashed, and before Huang Weiming had time to complain, he saw that the screen went dark.

Producer, director, screenwriter, soundtrack, Zhao Donghuai.

Subtitle introduction of the assistant director, To Qifeng, Cheng Xiaodong, etc.

Huang Weiming was almost gleeful again, Shao Daheng spared no effort to push newcomers, the assistant director arranged two... two hit the street?
Immediately after the black screen, screams rang out, like someone whimpering and screaming after being covered with a cloth. After a few screams, Chen Baixiang's miserable, swollen, bloody pig's face appeared on the screen, followed by the over-the-shoulder shot. Stern star boy.

After a few breaths.

Under the searchlight on the big screen, Ah Fa just appeared with his legs crossed.

There was an exclamation in the big theater.

"Xu Wenqiang!!"

"It's so pretty!"

"Xu Wenqiang is so handsome, I like him so much!"

…………

The chaotic sounds of both men and women have affected many people watching the movie, but this is 1983, countless audiences have a fixed impression of Zhou Runfa, and his Xu Wenqiang is too classic.

No matter what movie he appears in, when the audience sees him, it is Xu Wenqiang...

This is also the biggest restriction on an actor's way of acting, not to mention that Ah Fa is already pretty, and his costume and makeup in the new world show his tall and handsome appearance too clearly.

Until the end of the opening torture scene, Zhou Runfa calmly held a cigarette and stood outside the warehouse. The camera flashed and saw a few boys in suits or white shirts stuffing Chen Baixiang's mouth with a funnel and forcefully pouring liquid cement into it.

Filling people's mouths and stomachs, Chen Baixiang's wailing made people feel cold, unbearable, and scared. Zhou Runfa still had no expression on his face.

Chen Baixiang was thrown into a bucket full of liquid cement and pulled into an elevator to be transported away.

Wu Zhenyu came out and nodded slightly to Zhou Runfa, "Everything is taken care of."

Ah Fa calmly took down the cigarette, with an expression of indifference to life, "Let's go."

The next moment the screen flashed, the night came to dawn, the big ship was riding the wind and waves, and last week Runfa stood beside the Mercedes-Benz with his hands in his pockets looking out at the sea.

The melodious and desolate soundtrack of [Main TheME] sounded.

The crowd who were exclaiming for Xu Wenqiang before suddenly became much quieter. This kind of handsome, cool, well-trained extortion of confessions, smothering mouths, and Ah Fa's ruthlessness in trampling human lives and the law, the more flat his expression is. , the contrast is stronger.

Handsome is handsome and sharp, but the opening atmosphere of the new world is also a little unreasonable and scary.

This is 1983, not after many years of baptism of cops, robbers, action, and crime movies.

When the camera turns again, the TV set next to the shopping mall in a modern metropolis is broadcasting the news that Shi Dong (Zeng Jiang), the chairman of Pan Asia Group, was acquitted and walked out of the court with a smile and a domineering look.

Much of the audience, including the media and film critics, was somewhat silent.

This beginning is a bit ruthless, a bit penetrating, but it is cool and indescribably weird.

Everyone understands. At the beginning, Ah Fa's murder was to kill witnesses?To help the chairman get rid of the crime... Everyone has seen similar plots before.

But there has never been a film that has shot this kind of scene so beautifully, beautifully and screamingly, yet reveals endless cruelty and inhumanity.
