This movie, which Jiang Wen rated as "girly", is of high artistic quality alone, but the story is awkward, with the drama of falling in love with a traitor.
Jiang Wen didn't like this, so this year he brought his hard-earned work "The Sun Also Rises" to the audience. Unexpectedly, the audience also didn't like him, or in other words, they didn't understand it.
Lao Jiang was depressed and determined to tell the story of "The Sun Also Rises" again in a form that the audience can understand, so he created "Let the Bullets Fly".
"Let the Bullets Fly" only had a box office of 10 million in Hong Kong, which is far less pornographic than "Lust, Caution".
"Do you think it's true?"
"It's fake. How could the movie fight against the real army?"
"But I think it's true, even Wei Zai reacted!"
The audience left the scene happily. No one talked about the plot, but they all talked about the meaty scenes. They even seriously analyzed the postures and movements to see if they were serious.
It was somewhat embarrassing for Yao Yuan and others to watch such a movie together. Except for Yu Jiajia, she didn't know what embarrassment was and asked: "Yin Yin, what do you think?"
"The shots are very delicate and attractive. Although I don't like the subject, I don't quite understand Wang Jiazhi falling in love with Mr. Yi."
"What don't you understand? A little virgin fell in love with an old man. One was just in love, the other was a proficient in lovemaking. One was an M and the other was an S. They hit it off right away. The old man killed her after playing with her. It's so simple!"
“Mr. Yu’s explanation is really easy to understand.”
It was also the first time for Liu Weiqiang to deal with Yu Jiajia, and he gave him a heartfelt thumbs up, but Ning Hao couldn't bear to look at her directly, feeling like he had been humiliated in Hong Kong.
There is no way, in the Chinese entertainment industry, Mr. Yu is considered a strange thing.
After watching the movie, several people went to a restaurant to continue gathering.
"How was the filming of "Manslaughter"?"
Yu Jiajia asked Liang Jiahui first.
"Great!"
Tony Leung couldn't help but nod, as if recalling the scene during the filming, and smiled: "It feels great. I haven't played such an enjoyable role in a long time."
"Does it need to be adjusted?"
"It would be nice to have a rest."
"Then I'll give you 2 months. After 2 months, you will join the cast of "Wushuang". The director is already here, and your partner will be Chow Yun-fat, plus a mainland actress Zhang Jingchu."
"Okay, it's a good thing to have a job, not to mention it's such a good script." Tony Leung responded.
He naturally plays the role of Aaron Kwok. How can Aaron Kwok say that his acting skills have indeed been honed, but when you look at his serious performance, you will occasionally feel that you are acting out.
This is probably also a stereotype.
Speaking of the script of "Wushuang", Liu Weiqiang even praised it: "Yes, with this kind of cast and investment, as well as such a good story, Hong Kong movies haven't been so lively in a long time, and it's all thanks to the boss."
"Ka Fai said that having work open is a good thing, and I very much agree with this. The purpose of my coming here is to let everyone have work, produce more good works, and restore the glory of Hong Kong films..."
Yu Jiajia expressed her attitude hypocritically, then turned around and asked Ning Hao: "When will the later phase be completed?"
"It will take at least 2-3 months."
"Well, let's release it in January next year."
Yu Jiajia checked the information and said: "There are two major productions this year, "The Voting Certificate" and "Assembly Number" are both scheduled for December. "Yangtze River No. 7" did not want to force it, so it was changed to the end of January. Our
It would be better if "Manslaughter" and "Ip Man" were released before "Yangtze River No. 7"."
"You want to pull out the tiger's teeth?"
"This is called enriching genres and broadening the market. We have a kung fu film and a crime film. Those blockbusters are not next to us. Don't think of the audience's viewing level so high, and don't think so bad. Commercial films are enjoyable to watch.
It’s exciting, so the box office will be great.”
Yu Jiajia decided on the schedule in a few words.
Yao Yuan and Yinyin kept showing off their affection while feeding, without interrupting at all. When they were almost done eating, Fang said, "You guys chat, and we'll go shopping."
With that said, he took Yinyin and left first, while Yu Jiajia stayed behind to continue the arrangements.
In the evening, the two met at the hotel.
Yao Yuan then said: "If you stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, contact Meiya, Media Asia, China Star, Emperor, ATV, and TVB. We are going to establish an Internet anti-piracy alliance and ask them if they are interested in participating."
"what are you up to?"
"I want to have a copyright war!"
"..."
Yu Jiajia was a little confused, but said nothing.
Yao Yuan continued: "I have been in the United States for a month. The financial market there is very troubled. It is difficult for the government to cover up. It will definitely expand. At that time, a large number of investment institutions will tighten their belts, and the Internet will usher in a second wave.
Invest in the winter.”
"Do you think it will affect video websites?"
“That’s right, none of the domestic video websites are profitable, they all rely on throwing away money. When we were doing Maili Video, there were only a few of them. Now, how many do you guess? There are at least 400 of them, big and small!
400 companies, it’s time to reshuffle..."
Yao Yuan hugged his thermos cup, crossed his legs, and said: "I have taken care of the CCTV side. There is no problem with politics and public opinion. The only problem is the lawsuit.
In addition to contacting Hong Kong, you also need to contact Taiwan, and you also need to contact those from the mainland, such as Huayi, Bona, Shanghai Film, China Film... If you can, we can form an alliance and bring down those video websites together!
"
"You are not a son of man!"
Yu Jiajia sighed.
"How do you say you are not the son of a man? We are taking the legal route openly and let the country issue documents as soon as possible to control piracy. No matter how big the domestic market is, it cannot accommodate 400 video websites. In this world, the fittest will survive. Those who have no strength should not mess with it.
Everyone is so busy and it’s a waste of time.”
"..."
Yu Jiajia clarified his thoughts and said: "If you want to enter the copyright era, you definitely can't just buy it. Making your own works is the long-term solution.
Then I should hoard celebrities, vigorously develop celebrity management business, and film more movies.
Oh no, just filming is not enough. If our video website wants to compete with TV stations, the types of programs must be rich and diverse, including movies, TV series, animations, documentaries, original creations by netizens, and variety shows, we have to do them all!
Oops, then I should hoard celebrities..."
Talking to Yu Jiajia was refreshing and her brainwaves matched. Yao Yuan nodded and added: "Hong Kong is also very important. It is the springboard for videos to go global. I want to build a video website in Hong Kong. What suggestions do you have?"
"
"Our video business in the Mainland is based on the 99 Group. When we do video business in Hong Kong, or even internationally, we can't build castles in the air. We also need to have our own physical foundation. Golden Harvest alone is a bit weak."
"Um……"
Speaking of this, a term immediately popped into Yao Yuan's mind: ATV.
Let’s see if we can get some bargains during the subprime mortgage crisis next year.
