tearjerker director

Chapter 634 You can do it!
"As of now, there are a total of 47 "10 billion+" movies in mainland film history. I found a very interesting situation. One of the genres is all Hong Kong movies!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Everyone couldn't help but stare at Li Yi with wide eyes.

"Director Li, you mean gangster movies?" Hong Kong Island director Chen Manshan suddenly asked with a look of enlightenment.

The others were also stunned.

If you don't pay attention to this kind of data, you may not be able to find it.

"Yes, gangster movies, among the 47 movies worth more than 10 billion yuan, there are only 4 gangster movies. In the true sense, there is only 1 mainland gangster movie, and the rest are all Hong Kong movies!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Director Li means that the hope for the revival of Hong Kong films lies in police films?" Director Huang Zhenyi asked.

"Yes, everyone knows the situation in the Mainland. The lack of police and criminal films is not because there are no good stories, but because everyone knows the reason. Therefore, it can be said that many directors of the Mainland film police and criminal films have almost never directed them!"

"But isn't this the advantage of Hong Kong gangster movies? In fact, mainland gangster movies, if there is no Hong Kong island movie as an important branch, today's mainland movies really don't have much experience in the action elements of police and gangster shootouts.

Because of this, I think there is a high probability that Hong Kong-produced police and gangster films will find a gap in the mainland market and take the opportunity to enter. When the Hong Kong Island market is in a slump, they will continue their once brilliant life in a new film habitat. "Li Yi said with a faint smile.

In the glorious era of Hong Kong films, police and gangster films can also be said to be an indispensable genre.

In the most glorious era of Hong Kong Island movies, the most produced ones must be police and gangster movies.

In this regard, Hong Kong Island movies do have a unique advantage.

Because of historical reasons, if you ask Hong Kong Island film directors to make any historical epic films, it is pure nonsense, it is simply crude and simple!

So the Chibi War of the Three Kingdoms will be photographed as a young and Dangerous boy talking on the street!

But gangster movies can indeed be said to be Hong Kong movies' forte.

Even today, the police and gangster films of the old Hong Kong films are still not out of date.

And there is definitely a market.

"I think that Hong Kong gangster movies can completely open up a "new era of police and gangsters", because there is a lack of this type of movies in the market. time knows.

Of course, it should be noted that the completely repetitive creative mode, whether the audience will accept it as it is ordered, or there will be aesthetic fatigue, is a point worthy of attention.

Therefore, I think that if Hong Kong films want to revive, police and gangster films will definitely be a very good outlet. Looking at it optimistically, if we can create more diverse works before the aesthetic fatigue of the "new era of police and gangsters" declines, So it is not surprising that Hong Kong films not only survived, but even created a momentum of revival. "Li Yi said with a smile.

Li Yi's point of view had a great impact on the Hong Kong Island filmmakers present.

Of course, many people are still hesitating, because what Li Yi said sounds good, but you seem to have never made a police movie, right?
"Director Li, since you think the current market needs gangster films and there is a lack of such films, why have you made so many films but not any gangster films?" At this time, Hong Kong director Chen Han asked breaking the silence.

Everyone else also looked at Li Yi.

As for whether Li Yi made a police film or not, no one really doubts that.

After all, although Li Yi is known as a tear-jerking director, in fact, his film styles are really changeable.

It can be said that various types have been involved.

Then the gangster movies are naturally not a problem.

In fact, what Chen Han mentioned is also very normal.

After all, if Li Yi is already on Hong Kong Island, he should not be said to be the No. 1 director in China. If he can set a demonstration for everyone and prove that Hong Kong Island police and criminal films are indeed promising, he believes that the next Hong Kong Island police and criminal films will definitely spring up like mushrooms. rise up.

"Director Chen is commanding my army!" Li Yi said with a helpless smile.

"It's more work for those who are capable. You are also a filmmaker in Hong Kong Island, and you are the best film director. If you can take the lead, I believe that everyone will have no doubts!" ​​Chen Han said with a smile.

"That's right, Director Li can give us a sample!"

Li Yi didn't expect that they were waiting for him here.

In fact, Li Yi didn't reject it, but the problem was that he was a little clueless.

"I'll think about it!" Li Yi didn't refuse on the spot.

After returning, Li Yikai revisited many classic Hong Kong Island police and gangster films, hoping to find some inspiration for his golden fingers.

In fact, looking at the characteristics of those excellent Hong Kong island gangster films, the general framework is inseparable from the setting of two heroes, the duel between good and evil, the blackening of integrity, and high-level manipulation!

It really reminded Li Yi of a movie!
A gangster film on Hong Kong Island that made Li Yi amazed even after watching it.

In my memory, it was a police and gangster movie from another world, which can be called the pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster movies!
Even, it has been adapted by Peninsula and Hollywood, and all of them have achieved very good results.

Hong Kong Island's gangster films have established a basic aesthetic in the long-term development process-focusing on fierce fighting scenes.

However, the gangster movie that Li Yi recalled is really different from the previous gangster movies on Hong Kong Island. This gangster movie does not have any fierce fighting scenes, but a movie that uses a lot of drama to exaggerate the inner effect!

Such a movie, dialogue, plot, actors' acting skills, etc., can be said to be very demanding.

Moreover, in this film, there are almost no intense gun battle scenes, no pure gorgeous and cool visual effects are pursued, and there is no absolute winner who is protected by the protagonist's halo and still does not swallow his last breath even though he has been shot several times.

It can be said that it is definitely an innovative form of police and gangster films.

Li Yi watched this movie over and over again, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it.

Because this film, which is rare, makes all the characters very distinctive.

Of course, this also requires a lot of actors with excellent acting skills, but for Li Yi, this is really not a problem.

Moreover, it is a Hong Kong movie theme, a gangster movie theme, and there should not be too many talents in this area of ​​Hong Kong Island!

Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, but the most indispensable is the professional police, professional young and Dangerous, professional villains and other old drama players.

So in terms of casting, it was easier.

Li Yi went through several important roles in his mind, and there were more than one candidates.

Moreover, basically no one would reject Li Yi's film, not to mention that this film is still in the name of the revival of Hong Kong films, which is definitely of great significance to Hong Kong Island filmmakers.

At the same time, making this kind of movie can be regarded as Li Yi's confession of his identity as a filmmaker in Hong Kong Island.
