Zhao Donghuai burst out laughing. The other party wanted to sign a contract with his company... This was much more reliable than the previous joke about Hong Yinbao's clever plan and the five lucky stars celebration banquet.
There are too many to explain. Other female characters in his future movies will not expect to make money from this, but they will not give it away casually.
It's easy to say that he's one of his own and his salary doesn't matter.
He Qing is like this, even if his acting skills are only 70% up to standard, he wouldn't mind letting He Qing join the crew of Hurricane Rescue to play the heroine's pig teammate and best friend.
"I'm in the company. Come over if you have time. We can talk about the contract seriously."
After hanging up the phone, he said to He Qing, "You can talk more when an actress comes over later."
He Qing was pleasantly surprised and surprised, "Ah, boss, I don't understand Cantonese."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "If you don't understand, you need to communicate more and learn more. Besides, the actress doesn't speak Mandarin very well, so there's not much of a barrier to understanding."
There are quite a few actors in this era who can speak Mandarin.
For example, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others, their master is Yu Zhanyuan, a famous Peking opera master. He became famous in old age. Hong Jinbao said in an interview that when he was a child in the opera troupe, if he spoke Cantonese instead of Mandarin, he would be slapped by the master and imposed strict rules.
Who is Yu Zhanyuan? He was born in Beijing in 1905. He is a famous Peking Opera actress. He came to Hong Kong in the 1930s and 1940s.
As a newcomer who doesn't understand Cantonese, there will be no problem in communicating with Hong Qinbao, Cheng Long, Lin Zhengying and others. He doesn't know why Guan Jiahui suddenly wants to sign under his company's name, but letting the other party take care of it will save a lot of money.
thing.
This can be regarded as temporarily collecting a pair of large vases.
…………
More than two days later, October 10th.
Another weekend has passed, and New World broke out again on Saturday with a box office of 1.12 million, and on Sunday 1.25 million. The total box office has accumulated to 17.99 million.
This is the data after 18 days of release. It can be said that according to the current trend, the box office will exceed 20 million within a day.
Faced with the extremely exciting celebration invitations from Johnnie To, Chow Yun-fat and others, Zhao Donghuai did not go to the banquet. Instead, he watched the newly edited sample film with Lin Zhengying and Cheng Xiaodong in a screening room at Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay Studio.
It's the two sample videos of the last time A Ying, Zhou Xingxing and others were in the Zhao Film Studio's big office. They were quickly edited and combined with handheld photography.
After the one or two minute demo was played, without Zhao Donghuai having to say anything, Cheng Xiaodong couldn't wait to ask the projectionist to play it again... I watched this demo five times.
Cheng Sir then took out his cigarette and said, "Director, this... this action..."
This action video does not have many handsome poses, nor flashy and beautiful big moves such as roundhouse kicks, volley flips, 360-degree flying kicks, etc. It is realistic, fierce, punches to the flesh, simple and neat, not showing off skills, but using tricks
Take life and return to nature!
Photographed with a handheld camera, with Lin Zhengying as the center of sight, every punch and kick thrown by Xingzi and others, including the later weapons, seemed to be smashed towards the camera and towards the audience, and the impact was overwhelming.
Much more intense than ordinary action movies.
The sense of immersion is strong. As the camera chases Lin Zhengying, even if he punches or kicks, you can read his mentality from the language of the camera just by looking at his back.
This is the key.
Sports shots have a far greater impact on experts than ordinary viewers. Many people know that a good actor’s eyes can speak, and his dramatic eyes can win the Best Actor, such as Liang Chaowei, but ordinary audiences don’t understand how much eyes can tell.
It’s ridiculous. I feel very embarrassed when I read it on the news, but when your fighting movements seem to come to life, you can speak and express your emotions...
Otherwise, the Bourne Supremacy series, which is based on this kind of camera action, will not be hailed as a new milestone in the new era of action movies. What era was that? That was when Hong Kong action movies were stronger one generation after another, and one wave after another.
Gao has almost finished writing the style and pattern of action movies in the era after that.
If a lot of fighting elements in the whole movie were like this, Cheng Xiaodong wouldn't even dare to think about what kind of movie it would be, an action movie, would it establish a sect?
Just like Bruce Lee defined the term Kung Fu in the film and television industry, and Cheng Long pioneered Kung Fu comedy??
Cheng Xiaodong and Lin Zhengying are two of the best martial arts directors in the world in this era.
The more they watched, the more they understood the profound meaning of this short one or two minute sample.
Cheng Sir was so excited that he was speechless. Lin Zhengying said, "..."
After taking a few deep breaths in excitement, Lin Zhengying said with a strange look on her face, "Director, are you really going to ask me to be the leading actor in such an action movie??"
He had been working as a martial artist behind the scenes for so many years, and had followed Hong Yinbao for many years, and only had a few opportunities to step on stage and be an important supporting actor. Suddenly someone called him to be the leading actor, the real leading actor, and he was so surprised that he couldn't say anything.
talk.
After seeing such a sample, A Ying is speechless.
Zhao Donghuai was very calm, "Yes, the setting of my new film is that of a rebellious girl who disobeys her father and travels alone to other places. She falls into the hands of a local gang. Then her old father gets angry and flies off to another place to kill someone.
One club at a time to save my daughter."
"The main plot is that simple, and the final ending is a happy ending."
"The most important thing is the action scenes, otherwise we wouldn't have made a sample film first. Looking at the current male actors in Hong Kong, superstars include Aaron, Sanmao Ge, Yuen Biao, etc., as well as Liu Jiahui, Wang Yu and others."
"But none of them are to my liking. They play beautifully, and their appearance is not too handsome, but they can give people a sense of stability and reliability, and make them feel safe when they stand out... I think you are still very suitable, A-ying."
Ah Ying has already signed a contract for a hurricane rescue action drama with a male protagonist, and there are still four more films left to be contracted, so to be honest, there is nothing left.
As for a retired old father, it stands to reason that Lin Zhengying is only 31 years old. Yes, he is 31 this year. He was only 33 years old when Mr. Zombie was filmed two years later in 1985, but Uncle Jiu in Mr. Zombie... Who thought he was only 33 at first impression?
The actor who plays Uncle Nine is 6 years younger than Wencai Nadoubi's apprentice!!
Steady and reliable, you feel safe as soon as you stand up? It can only be said that as the most secure man in horror movies, Aying is so good at this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His fighting scenes are equally beautiful.
Even if the fighting style such as handheld photography and quick editing does not pursue so much elegance and gorgeousness, occasionally one or two shoulder falls, jumping off a bridge, etc. are still necessary.
More than 90% of the style is realistic violence, just like real agents, military and police killing people in actual combat, as efficient and fast, relying on editing to modify the unsightly actions in real combat.
Less than 10% to add a gorgeous finishing touch at the critical moment is enough.
I don’t mean to deliberately praise Lin Zhengying. In this era, if you want to film a hurricane rescue and want to find the most suitable male protagonist, you can choose over and over again, but the one in front of you is the most suitable.
Lam Ching-ying has more than just a character, it feels right, he can perform easily, and it's also cheap. How much do you think one of his movies costs now? A guy like Chow Yun-fat, who has become famous in Hong Kong and Macau by relying on the Shanghai Beach, has made many well-received movies, and the market price of being the protagonist is only two
Three hundred thousand.
This is not to say that Ah Fa is too low and has no reputation. If he compares it to female stars...it is already the top-notch price for Hong Kong female stars in this era.
For actresses, one is Zhao Yazhi. One movie costs 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is currently the most expensive.
Besides her, Lin Qingxia is the queen of literature and art. She costs 200,000 yuan for a movie, but she is the queen of literature and art.
Before Ah Fa starred in New World, his salary was very low, but he was still on par with top actresses.
A Ying would be fine if she gave him fifty thousand or one hundred thousand yuan.
The female one is newcomer Lan Jieying, He Qing plays the female best friend, and Guan Jiahui plays the heroine idol singer. The three beauties don't cost more than 100,000 yuan to package.
This is so cheap!!
Under his explanation, Lin Zhengying was speechless for a long time. After a while, she sighed and said, "Director, thank you very much!"
"I only signed a partial contract, but if you have anything to do in the future, feel free to ask, and I will never refuse. It doesn't matter what the salary is."
Brother Long left Lo Wei, who made him famous, and signed with Golden Harvest, but he was almost secretly chased. He had to go to Hollywood to film to avoid the limelight, lest an accident would outweigh the gain.
It's not that Director Luo is lawless and Jiahe can't control it, but if...even if it happens that Aaron can't continue filming, no one will be willing to accept the result.
Director Zhao in front of him really had nothing to say.
