Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 9 Beach water guns are not hot enough

Wu Zhenyu excitedly got up to toast, and when he drank two cups, Zhao Donghuai began to think, Wan Ziliang...

Lao Wan played an important role in a TV series for the first time in 77, and played a leading role in a movie for the first time in 79. He was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, as well as an award-winning feature film.

If the male lead's performance is too stretched and affects the quality of the film, it is impossible to get so many nominations and awards, and Lao Wan's acting skills are not bad.

What Zhao Donghuai was thinking about was whether Wan Ziliang could still be invited to make a movie now!

The TV station that joined Lai in 77, which is now ATV, was poached by TVB boss Shao when Li went bankrupt in 82. It doesn't matter if he plays a TV series on TVB, but Boss Shao also values ​​Wan Ziliang's film contract.

How important is it?

From 1979 to 1983, Wan Ziliang only made 4 movies, but in 84, he made 7 Shaw Brothers movies.

He should have time to make movies this year, but he doesn't know what's going on with the contract. It seems that he will have to ask Ah Fa later. As for whether Ah Fa will reject New World, he is confident that he will not.

Is Infernal Affairs a good script?After the millennium, there have been a lot of classic police and gang films in the Hong Kong film industry, such as police stories, true heroes, Lei Luo's biography, Lai Hao, police stories, young and Dangerous series, dark wars, etc. .

Infernal Affairs is still hailed as a rescue work.

Hollywood is also willing to spend 160 million US dollars to adapt the copyright, and the adapted version can easily win various Oscars.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay!
Which of these cannot explain its gold content?

The New World adapted from the South Korean version, regardless of box office and word-of-mouth, is a milestone in the gangster film, a small epic that cannot be bypassed, and has won [-] nominations and awards in various South Korean film awards. Compared with the original version of Infernal Affairs, They all have their own merits.

This is a classic police and gangster film that spans a lot at once, and it was born 30 years in advance.

If he still can't impress the current "box office poison", Zhao Donghuai would rather wash his hands.

After all, the main line of the new world sounds simple. The main line of undercover agents becoming the biggest club boss, a generation of godfathers, is too clear, but whether a movie is good or not, there are too many exciting things outside the main line.

It is Infernal Affairs, the main plot is also very simple, undercover for ten years, before the big success, the main character died at the moment before dawn, dare you say that the main plot is very complicated?
But is getting in the way of it being a post-millennial bailout?Interfering with adaptations in various countries and exploding box office, is it too easy to win awards?

Of course, there was an accident that Ah Fa didn't like the script. After he washed his hands in the golden basin, he had to change to a silver basin to re-enter the industry, but it would pull black-haired boys! !
At worst, wait until Liang Jiahui finishes filming the Old Summer Palace.

He even "created" the main soundtrack of the new world. [Main TheMe] translates to [Major Theme]. The original version, no matter whether it throws a cement bucket into the sea at the beginning, or the big brother violently kills in the later stage, he becomes the leader The soundtrack to the time when I was overwhelmed at the heights and said goodbye to my past memories is very flavorful.

You can't waste such a good soundtrack just because of Fazi.

Time passed quietly, and Zhao Donghuai and Wu Zhenyu ate food and drank beer. An hour later, Zhou Run handed out the script, took a deep breath, and said excitedly, "Zhao Sheng, this book... this book is so good Yes! Thank you Zhao Sheng for looking up to me, I will act without pay, Zhao Sheng must keep it for me."

He was excited.

Leaving aside the development of the main line, the male lead, Li Zicheng, appeared on the stage as the director of the Pan-Asia Group, the former No. 2 member of the "Dongxing faction", second only to Ding Qing. Putting people into cement buckets, pouring cement and throwing them into the sea is very important.

Throughout the whole process, Ah Cheng was a cold-faced man.

But his character design is very plump, even terrifying. He joined Dongxing 6 years ago and was an undercover police officer. He worked hard with Ding Qing from the bottom of the bottom. Cheng took the machete and took the lead in fighting the country.

Ding Qing can become the leader of the Dongxing faction. Even after the death of the old chairman of the newly merged pan-Asian group, Ding Qing can also become the biggest new leader competitor. Li Zicheng also contributed a lot. Dozens!

But who would have known that from the very beginning, he was an undercover agent? !

Not only that, Li Zicheng's most important younger brother, his confidant Ma Shihu, is also an undercover agent sent by the police inspector to monitor him... Li Zicheng's wife, who married and had children, was sent by the inspector to monitor him.

From the very beginning, because of his ruthless behavior, the police bosses have always distrusted Li Zicheng, guarding against Li Zicheng's betrayal. It can be said that around him, there are either club enemies or competitors, who are always shooting each other and robbing each other. .

Either the police boss has been forcing you to betray the group, the boss, and the grandfather, or they are all monitoring you.

Ding Qing has always regarded him as a life and death brother.

The script stated very clearly that after the death of the old chairman, the Pan-Asia Group had no leader. Ding Qing, as the biggest new leader contender, was about to take over. Li Zicheng had been applying to his superiors to end the undercover operation. He didn't want to do it anymore.

But he was forced to coerce and couldn't take a step back.

In order to solve the case and make meritorious service, the supervisory boss and the director have been forcing him to continue to take the position. It was the police who took the initiative to provoke the third member of the group, Ding Qing, and the fourth member of the Hongxing faction, Li Zhongjiu, to fight each other. Help Li Zicheng to the top.

After the death of the chairman, the number two person was Zhang Shouji, the leader of Heliansheng. However, when Heliansheng was annexed to form a new group, Zhang Shouji lost his power.

As soon as the leader died, the police pretended to promote the No. [-] empty shell Zhang Shouji as the superior, and provoked the third eldest Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu to fight all kinds of shopping, but in fact they still forced the fifth eldest Li Zicheng to become the superior.

Li Zicheng wanted to quit, but was forced to continue, the despair and trembling.

During the infighting in the group, Ding Qing found several undercover police officers, including Ding Qing's confidant Ma Shihu, Ding Qing's daily contact with the police intelligence personnel, and his female Go teacher...all were caught by Ding Qing, in front of him. Li Zicheng's face was slapped violently.

It was Li Zicheng who couldn't bear the pain of their death, and shot them first to send them on the road, all kinds of fear, despair and fear when shooting.

Then, Ding Qing was ambushed by Li Zhongjiu's men, and he was seriously injured and dying. Before he died, he said, I left something good for you, you go and see, you will be the boss in the future, you have to be ruthless, and you will not be able to stand firm , this kind of dying to support the country...

When he went to look at the things left in Ding Qing's last words, it turned out to be his police academy files.

That's called crying.

He is struggling in hell, and the only person who can light up his life is Ding Qing, a good big brother!The daughters-in-law who share the same bed are all surveillance personnel controlled by the police boss.

In terms of the completeness of the story, character, life background, environment, etc., Li Zicheng's character is too full, too remarkable, and his acting skills are outstanding? ?
Now Ah Fa is worried about whether his acting skills are suitable for such a wonderful, changeable and in-depth role.

If you perform well, [-]% of the time you will win the award, but if you don't perform well, you will continue to lose.

In the original Infernal Affairs, Li Zicheng's corresponding role won the Golden Elephant and Golden Horse Best Actor.

The Hollywood adaptation, well, won the Oscar for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. Li Zicheng’s corresponding one, played by Xiao Lizi, won no awards.

South Korea's New World did not play Li Zicheng as an actor, and other awards won soft hands.

Fazai doesn't know about that, but after reading the complete script, he can know that this is a good script!
If he doesn't perform well, he will be overshadowed.After reading Li Zicheng's book, he knew that the biggest acting opponent was the one who played Ding Qing, and the fact is that the Korean version who played Ding Qing was nominated for Qinglong Best Actor, Dazhong Award Best Actor, and Baeksang Best Best Actor nominations.

After getting excited, Fazai hurriedly took out his cigarette and cleared it, "Director, when do you plan to start filming? Who does Ding Qing want to find? I have no other intentions, I just want to prepare well in advance."

Zhao Donghuai smiled, "What do you think of Wan Ziliang? I heard that he has also signed a movie contract with Shaw Brothers? I don't know if we can invite him."
