Chapter 011 A word is settled, double happiness is coming
A few days later, a private room in a hotel near TVB TV City.
Zhao Donghuai stepped inside and saw Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei, Wu Zhenyu, Wan Ziliang, Qin Pei, Zeng Jiang, Huang Xingxiu, Du Qifeng and others, as well as two uninvited bad guys, one was Chen Baixiang and the other was Wang
Scenery.
It was Zhao Donghuai's intention to fish out Chen Baixiang. There are rumors in the world, but the truth or falseness is yet to be determined. Lao Chen and Huang Xingxiu had a secret marriage in 1979. For the sake of Huang Xingxiu's future at that time, the two had been hiding it.
Then, in January this year, Huang Xingxiu felt unwell when filming Thirteen Girls. She went into battle despite her illness, and did not seek medical treatment until after the filming. This resulted in lifelong infertility, and she and Chen Baixiang were still separated for the rest of their lives.
Wang Jing was really surprised.
Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei immediately stood up to greet Zhao Donghuai, and introduced him enthusiastically to everyone present. After the initial politeness, Du Qifeng lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "I heard that someone wants to ask me to be the assistant director of the film? It would be an honor for me." "I just don't know where Mr. Zhao was educated before? I don't seem to have heard of your name?"
Johnnie To later became a well-known big shot in the Hong Kong film industry. He was just as good at it as he was the little hurdler prince Dongguan Zai in his two-part film "Underworld".
But that was after he became famous. Now, Du Qifeng's temper is not so bad. He just suddenly became sour after seeing Zhao Donghuai in person.
I think he is 27 this year. He became a disciple of Wang Tianlin 9 years ago. His only movie in such a long time was a huge success. Suddenly, a 20-year-old young man with a name he has never heard of comes out and directs a movie?
?Also asked him to be the assistant director??
Envy, jealousy or imbalance have always been inevitable human emotions.
Zhao Donghuai frowned, but Zhou Runfa hurriedly intervened to ease the atmosphere.
Zhao Donghuai waved his hand and took out a script with a smile. It was a simple outline of the story, not so detailed, "Sir Du, this is the outline of the script. You can read it first. If you want to leave after reading it, I will never stop you."
Du Qifeng's face changed after hearing these words, and he felt a little unable to sit down.
After all, regardless of who you studied under, age or resume, let’s just say that Huang Rihua’s version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which was just aired this year, was produced by him. Is this an honor that ordinary directors can compare to?
Zhao Donghuai doesn't have any bad intentions, but he knows that facing such "old seniors", he is still so young and has no qualifications. Just kidding, he graduated from Form 6 in the New Territories not long ago and is a nightclub parking boy...
I have never been exposed to the entertainment industry.
If you don't use the script to calm Du Qifeng, there will be no way to talk about it.
What are we talking about? How to help nightclub players park their cars?
It was Fa Ge who accompanied him and greeted him with a smile, "Director, Sir Du has no other meaning. Sir Du, take a look at the script. I can guarantee that it is an unprecedentedly good script!"
In the past few days, Fa Zai not only read Li Zicheng's individual scripts, but also read them as a whole, and he was even more shocked.
It’s 2020, decades later, when it comes to gangster movies in the global village, how many of The Godfather can you avoid? Can you avoid The Departed, The Departed and The New World?
To say that it is a Hong Kong film and the first masterpiece of Korean films is of course an exaggeration.
But when it comes to Hong Kong and Korean films, this is one of the top masterpieces.
Zhao Donghuai has also been a director in the simulator for several years, but he still copied the answers...
Du Qifeng looked around, then glared at Zhao Donghuai, "I want to save Ah Fa's face and see if you are really that tolerant."
Zhao Donghuai smiled and took out a few more scripts, most of which were outlines and separate columns, and sent them to Wan Ziliang, Zeng Jiang, Qin Pei and others.
Wang Jing stood up and said with a smile, "Pretty boy, where's mine? I heard from Brother Du that someone outside asked him to be an assistant director. He wasn't interested at first, but it was Ah Fa and Wei Zai who chased him and blocked the door several times before he came over to take a look.
Look, Ah Fa blew up the script so much that I came here to take a look."
After a pause, Wang Jing raised a glass of wine and drank it, "Pretty boy, don't be afraid that we will spread rumors after seeing it. I, Wang Jing, can't afford to disgrace that person."
In the 1980s and 1990s, when Hong Kong films were shot, most of the time they didn't have complete scripts. In many cases, the crew gathered together an outline or an idea, and wrote while filming. The term "flying paper boy" was even coined. p>
Flying Paper Boy just shoots and shoots. If you have a joke, write down the inspiration, spread it out, and start shooting.
The reason for this situation is that in the 1980s and 1990s, the crews were too fast and efficient. One play was done a week, and it was completed in two or three weeks... The time was too fast, and many crews did not have the time to write too detailed scripts.
Another reason is to follow the trend!!
Talking about the degree to which Hong Kong films followed the trend in the 1980s and 1990s, many later generations said that this was one of the major reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films. When a subject became popular, such as Mr. Zombie, dozens of films followed the trend and were released in droves.
.
If the audience gets tired of watching it and vomits after watching it, the subject matter will become useless.
Many crews do not write detailed scripts because they are afraid that it will be spread out. You may be still preparing and filming. Someone may have overheard or inquired about it. If you move quickly, you will have already finished filming and released it, turning you from an original to a stand-in. p>
Just like later generations of online articles, an author creates a subject, becomes popular, and writes slowly, and immediately a group of followers follow suit. Many of the followers rely on fast updates to destroy the creator.
Seeing Zhao Donghuai just staring at him and smiling without saying anything, Wang Jing felt unhappy, "Hey, you can't even trust me? Then you should be able to trust Afa, right?"
Fatty King is no longer what he used to be. In 1981, he directed Thousand Kings vs. Thousand Tyrants for Shaw Brothers, which grossed 5.08 million at the box office. Don’t look at the numbers at first glance, but it’s actually one of the top ten grossing Hong Kong films in 1981.
The people lined up in front of him include Wu Yusen, Yuan Heping, Hong Yinbao, Xu Ke, Xu Guanwen, etc., and there are not many simple ones.
He came today when Du Qifeng refused to come. Zhou Runfa said too many good things... which aroused Fatty Jing's curiosity. He is a top student at the University of Hong Kong and his father is Wang Tianlin. His arrogance is not fake.
After saying this, Zhao Donghuai took out another outline and handed it over, and at the same time handed over the separate script of the male protagonist Li Zicheng, "Director Wang is already a famous director, so of course I, a newbie, can trust him."
Fatty King will make a lot of money in following-up movies in the future, but at this stage, his moral integrity is not that low, and he wants to make the New World crew launch smoothly, and continue to work until it is released.
Having many friends is not a bad thing.
Otherwise, why would he hire Johnnie To as his assistant director? When many people in the group were reading the script, Wu Zhenyu, Chow Yun-fat and Lu Liangwei also started to warm up, and there was also Chen Baixiang, a living treasure. The atmosphere in the private room soon became familiar and cheerful. Until...
Du Qifeng quickly read it the first time and then the second time before putting down the script. He looked eager to speak but was speechless, and stared at Zhao Donghuai.
Fatty King has almost finished watching it, at least the synopsis, and his expression is also very exciting, "Are you going for Hollywood Godfather 1? I only read the synopsis, and it has the same flavor, but the style is completely different." p>
"Good guy, I really have nothing to say, so sharp!"
"A police undercover has become the biggest leader of all the social groups in Hong Kong? Aren't Hung Hing, East Star, and Lian Sheng the same as Xin Ji, 14 Dui and Hutchison? Hey, aren't you afraid of broadcasting it and letting those big
Are you unhappy?"
"If this could be turned into a super group that spans real estate, finance, entertainment, international trade and other industries, the chairman would still be a renegade undercover? Gee, he would be more powerful than Inspector Lu in the 1960s and 1970s!"
"Your domineering attitude is revealed!"
After saying that, ignoring the astonishment of Wan Ziliang, Zeng Jiang, Qin Pei, Huang Xingxiu and others, Wang Jing quickly grabbed the single-line script for the male protagonist Li Zicheng and looked at it.
After watching it again, Fatty King’s expression became more complicated.
After drinking a glass of beer in silence, he said excitedly, "Ah Huai, how about I also become an assistant director? Just give me a hundred thousand yuan."
Zhao Donghuai smiled, "So simple??"
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Waiting for the second part of the Hong Kong version of The Godfather, will you let me direct it alone??"
Zhao Donghuai was speechless, "I plan to let Sir Du direct the second part."
Wang Jingren was dumbfounded, "Is it really possible to rush into the street? Have you already thought about it? No way!!"
Du Qifeng was even excited, "Huh? It's a deal! Double happiness is coming!"
