After the song "In the Name of the Father" was released, it was obvious that Xiong Lu's music criticism analysis was the most comprehensive.
Of course, it is also the one that best represents the voice of the majority of netizens.
Therefore, Xiong Lu’s music review once again topped the list of hot searches.
Many people are actually still concerned about this conflict between Xu Ji and the rap circle.
Did Xu Ji successfully slap the opponent in the face?
But in fact, Xiong Lu’s words gave an answer that most people agreed with.
That's because Xu Ji actually doesn't care much about whether he can get slapped in the face, because he doesn't actually pay attention to the rappers in the rap circle.
Just like the prelude of the song "In the Name of the Father", which lasts for one minute and forty seconds, it is enough to prove Xu Ji's confidence in himself.
Call it arrogance, or a bit young and energetic, but Xu Ji really has this qualification.
This song "In the Name of the Father" is nothing more than a testament to myself.
......
Having said that, in fact, the singers in the rap circle are not all people who have little ability and just want to be famous.
Of course, some people still saw the use of the ending in Xu Ji's song.
In terms of music type, "In the Name of the Father" can be regarded as a combination of rap and rhythm and blues.
There are also many rappers who play R&B, but after listening to it, I can only feel helpless.
That's Xu Ji's style. Even if they deliberately imitate it, they actually can't learn it.
This can be considered rap by Xu Ji, but his personal style is too strong, which makes people feel that it has nothing to do with rap.
Of course, although I feel that Xu Ji is very powerful in my heart, I even admire him a little.
But now that everyone in the rap circle shares the same hatred, it is impossible for them to stand up and say something, otherwise they will really become traitors.
There are still some rappers on the Internet who keep jumping around and saying how low-level the song "In the Name of the Father" is.
But most of the slightly famous singers have tacitly shut up, which explains everything.
......
"When will Xu Ji's movie be finished?"
"If this continues, people will think that our program has been cut in half."
"Some of the sponsors already seem dissatisfied."
In a certain villa at this time, Wang Jiangyu looked a little anxious.
Mo Jianwen was very calm.
"How do I know this?"
"Besides, that's how it was signed in the previous contract, with his time being the main priority."
This is the first time Wang Jiangyu and Xu Ji have collaborated, so naturally they are not used to Xu Ji being unavailable from time to time.
But Mo Jianwen has become accustomed to it, and he even wants to laugh when he sees Wang Jiangyu who looks like his former self.
"I have time to write new songs, but why don't I have time to come back and record a show?"
Wang Jiangyu was naturally talking about "In the Name of the Father" which was very popular on the Internet during this period.
I have to say that he is indeed very jealous of this song, which can be regarded as creating a new style. Although its influence is not as good as that of the previous Chinese style, it is definitely phenomenal.
If it could be sung by the faceless man in "The Masked Singer", the popularity of the show would definitely reach a new level.
Moreover, the identity of the faceless man will not be doubted by the audience.
After all, Xu Ji had never written a song of this style before.
It was released just like this because of the rap circle and that crappy program called "New Rap". It is simply an extremely wasteful behavior!
Many netizens on the Internet said they wanted to thank the rap circle, but Wang Jiangyu didn’t think so.
"Well...that's not necessarily true."
"Xu Ji is in Hong Kong. The round-trip flight plus the recording time for the program will take at least three days."
“And it’s still in a hurry.”
Wang Jiangyu was stunned for a moment by Mo Jianwen's words.
"You mean, Xu Ji didn't even spend three days writing this song?"
Mo Jianwen shook his head.
Just when Wang Jiangyu felt that the other party was probably outrageous and impossible to him, he heard Mo Jianwen say:
"I mean, Xu Ji probably started writing the song after he posted that insulting tweet."
"And in less than three days, most of it was spent on recording songs and making accompaniments."
"The time to write songs...will only be less."
Wang Jiangyu has never personally experienced how outrageous Xu Ji's creative ability is.
You must know that many of the programs he directed, including Girls from the Creation Camp, which was filmed on Penguin Video, were about specific themes.
And many topics are not as broad as they are now.
But Xu Ji was still able to produce high-quality songs in a short period of time.
This is enough to prove that Xu Ji is outrageous.
The title of quick shooter is really no joke.
"Forget it, don't worry about it. I contacted you a few days ago and Xu Ji said that it can be completed within this month at most."
Mo Jianwen took the initiative to comfort him.
Then I played "In the Name of the Father" by Xu Ji in the office.
"The cool morning dew wets the black dress"
"The stone road is foggy, my father is complaining"
......
Wang Jiangyu rolled his eyes at the other party. He had listened to this song too much during this period. If he liked it, he would like it.
But when I think of this song being released like this, I feel a pity and heartache.
......
After the release of "In the Name of the Father", Xu Ji paid a little attention to the feedback on the song.
After I found out that the song's reviews were higher than I thought, I stopped paying attention.
As for the singers in the rap circle, Xu Ji has no intention of paying attention to them in the future.
Even some rappers who scolded him very harshly before, Xu Ji actually understands these people's tricks.
On the surface, it seemed that I chose to scold him for various reasons, but in fact, it was just because I wanted to get angry.
If Xu Ji really came forward to respond, or scolded him back, it would have fulfilled their wish.
So Xu Ji just directly criticized the entire rap circle at that time, without naming him.
However, after this incident, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more comfortable even while filming.
The filming and finishing work for the follow-up "Infernal Affairs" also went more smoothly.
On November 20, after more than three months of filming, a burst of cheers came from the set of "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong City.
This movie is finally finished.
The two movie stars also applauded and showed relaxed smiles.
They have been filming for so many years, and they have actually met a lot of different directors, but Xu Ji is really special.
Ever since I became an actor, I haven’t felt any pressure about acting for many years.
Not to mention the outrageous thing that someone would teach me how to act. Even the director would just discuss the script together.
Only Xu Ji has very strict requirements and has such high demands on their emotions.
Of course, it does not mean that they are not given the opportunity to express themselves freely. If they have better ideas for the same scene, Xu Ji will also adopt their interpretation method.
But such times are rare, and more often the ideas given by Xu Ji are able to convince them.
Xu Ji's understanding of the characters is indeed better than theirs.
The two of them thought it might be because Xu Ji himself was the screenwriter.
Of course, what they don't know is that the more important reason is that in Xu Ji's memory of his previous life, various details of "Infernal Affairs" have been analyzed countless times.
There are also various interviews with directors and actors, as well as references to the original film. Xu Ji naturally knows more than the two of them who have only read the script.
......
At the closing banquet, a group of actors from Hong Kong City looked very enthusiastic.
Everyone came up in turn to toast Xu Ji. Although Xu Ji said that he was not a good drinker and would only drink a little each time, he could not handle the large number of people and soon Xu Ji started to feel dizzy.
The actors here in Hong Kong City don’t say how good everyone is at drinking, but they basically come from various drinking establishments.
Therefore, in the end, such an occasion did not have anything to do with the director Xu Ji, and it became a drinking bureau for these veteran Hong Kong actors.
Although Xu Ji was very strict on the set, the impression he left on the actors in Hong Kong was quite good.
Of course, it’s also because Xu Ji is one of the few mainland directors to use them.
Many of them have actually not filmed for a long time, and most of them can only hang out in some major online movies in the mainland with a face that is familiar to the audience.
The salary given by Xu Ji is not low, and everyone can feel the quality of this movie.
In the past, people who gave such opportunities would definitely be a great favor to Hong Kong actors.
So many people are very grateful for the opportunity given by Xu Ji.
After all, not everyone is the two leading actors in the crew, so there is no shortage of acting.
Although Wei Yifa's role in the film this time was actually just a bit of soy sauce and it was completed early, the filming banquet was still here.
And he greeted these old friends warmly, as if he was more of a movie director than Xu Ji.
After this incident, Wei Yifa basically planned to bind Xu Ji and not let go.
Including Xu Ji and Xu Ji's company, his company must cooperate deeply with each other in the future.
Although Xu Ji's company is not as good as the three major companies in the mainland, Wei Yifa is very optimistic about its potential.
Especially Xu Ji's potential, he has a feeling that Xu Ji will definitely become or even surpass their group of legendary movie kings in the future and become a real superstar.
In Xu Ji, he even saw the shadow of a genius who died young.
In particular, Xu Ji is not only a talented writer and director, but also a songwriter and singer, so he is very versatile.
Even in acting, he also knew that Xu Ji didn't really want to be an actor, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible for him to direct and act and become an actor or something.
......
Xu Ji woke up in the hotel the next day.
As for how I came back, I have no memory at all.
However, even though I was drunk, my head didn't hurt particularly. It was obvious that I wasn't given special attention to drinking yesterday.
Although Xu Ji is the director, he is still much younger than the actors, so the set is a set, but he was still taken care of during the closing banquet.
In particular, after Xu Ji fell unconscious, Wei Yifa basically started to help with the atmosphere of the closing banquet, without leaving him in the dark.
Xu Ji's schedule is quite tight. After finishing the filming, packing up related equipment and various finishing work were completed in one day.
In other words, Xu Ji can only stay in Hong Kong City for the last day, and will return to Chengdu at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Speaking of which, even though he stayed in Hong Kong City for such a long time, he basically never went out for shopping. He was always filming in the studio.
There are some famous architectural attractions that I have only heard about on TV and news before, and I have never had the opportunity to take a look.
Now that I finally have some free time, I realize that I don’t have enough time.
However, Xuji will definitely come to Hong Kong City in the future, and it is not certain that he will even come often.
It's a pity that these veteran actors from Hong Kong are no longer available. Hong Kong films are indeed in decline in this world. There are quite a few suitable films like this, and there will definitely be more than one opportunity to collaborate.
Speaking of the filming of "Infernal Affairs" this time, Xu Ji is actually quite satisfied with the finished film.
In addition to the fact that the actors' acting skills are not lagging behind, the conditions in all aspects are also better than in the previous life. During filming, the effect was actually better than that of the original film.
It is a perfect reproduction of the classic, fulfilling Xu Ji’s wish.
......
The next night, Xu Ji returned to Chengdu, finally ending his three-month long-distance relationship with Sha Yetong.
Originally, Sha Yetong had a performance in the past few days, but when she heard Xu Ji said she wanted to come back, she simply turned it down.
In fact, the two of them still often video chat, so it doesn’t mean they haven’t met each other, but after all, there are many things that can’t be done in videos.
Naturally, Xu Ji followed the past tradition and gave himself a few days of leave before the post-production work of the film began.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" crew, several other projects of Tongji Entertainment are making good progress at this time.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" and "The Legend of the Heroes" have both been completed, and even before "Infernal Affairs", the post-production work has now begun.
However, the post-production work for these two films is huge, especially in terms of special effects.
The manpower of Mountain Studio is obviously not enough. In addition to hiring a lot of people, it also outsources some of the work.
Of course, although it is outsourced, there are still people from Shanyue who strictly control the quality.
In addition, the post-production of "Parental Love" is almost completed, and the finished film is expected to be released in December.
The main reason is that there are not many special effects in the post-production period, and even though there are few traces of storyboards, the speed is frightening.
The only one that has not yet been completed is probably Pang Er's "Famous".
Pang Er has lived up to his nickname of "The King of Mills". Although he has moved from TV series to shorter movies, the shooting speed is still slow.
Each shot even takes longer to polish than the previous one.
Xu Ji also gave up. Pang Er's style had been formed, and he felt that he couldn't change it.
Anyway, I’m not in a hurry, so I just let it go.
When the news of the completion of filming came, the happiest person was naturally Youman.
This means that the time for the company's funds to be withdrawn is getting closer.
I don’t know if it’s because the cash flow in Tongji Entertainment’s previous accounts was too abundant. Although the company is not currently short of money, Youman feels an inexplicable sense of crisis.
On the second day after Xu Jicai came back, news suddenly came.
This year’s Yunyu Award shortlist has been announced.
