Wu Zhenyu stood up and toasted excitedly. When he drank two glasses of wine, Zhao Donghuai began to think about it. Wan Ziliang...
Lao Wan played an important role in a TV series for the first time in 1977, and starred in a movie for the first time in 1979 as the male lead. He was also nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and the Best Feature Film Award.
If the male lead's performance is too extreme and affects the quality of the movie, there won't be so many nominations and awards, and Lao Wan's acting skills are not bad.
What Zhao Donghuai is thinking about is whether he can still invite Wan Ziliang to make a movie now!
The TV station that joined Lai in 1977, which is now ATV, was poached by TVB boss Shao when Lai went bankrupt in 1982. It didn't matter that he acted in TV series at TVB, but boss Shao also valued Wan Ziliang's movie contract.
How much do you value it?
From 1979 to 1983, Wan Ziliang only made 4 movies, but in 1984, he made 7 Shaw Brothers movies.
He should have time to make movies this year, but I don't know what's going on with the contract. It seems that he will have to ask Ah Fa later. As for whether Ah Fa will reject the New World, he is confident that he won't.
Is Infernal Affairs a good script? After the millennium, the Hong Kong film industry has seen a large number of classic police and gangster films, gangster films, police stories, A Better Tomorrow, The Legend of Lei Luo, Lame Hao, Police Stories, Young and Dangerous series,
There are all kinds of secret battles and so on.
Infernal Affairs is still hailed as a rescue work.
Hollywood is also willing to spend US$1.6 million for the adaptation rights, and the adapted version can easily win various Oscars.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay!
Which of these does not explain its gold content?
The South Korean adaptation of New World, regardless of box office and reputation, is a milestone in gangster and gangster films, a small epic that cannot be bypassed. It has racked up dozens of nominations and wins at various South Korean film awards. Compared with the original version of Infernal Affairs,
They all have their own merits.
This one suddenly surpasses a lot of classic police movies and was released 30 years in advance.
If he still can't impress the current "poisonous box office", Zhao Donghuai would rather wash his hands in a golden basin.
After all, the main plot of New World sounds simple. The main plot of an undercover agent becoming the boss of the largest society and the godfather of a generation is too clear. But whether a movie is good to watch or not, there are too many exciting things besides the main plot.
Even the original version of Infernal Affairs has a very simple main plot. After being an undercover agent for ten years and feeling like a big success, the protagonist died in the moment before dawn. Do you dare to say that the main plot is very complicated?
But is it a post-millennium bailout? It has been adapted in various countries, the box office has exploded, and the award-winning film has become weak?
Of course, there was an accident where Ah Fa didn't like the script. After washing his hands in the golden basin, he had no choice but to change to a silver basin and re-enter the industry, but with black hair!!
At worst, we can wait until Liang Jiahui finishes filming Old Summer Palace.
He has even "composed" the main soundtrack of the new world. [Main TheMe] translates as [Major Theme], the original version, whether it is throwing a cement bucket into the sea at the beginning, or the big brother going on a rampage and killing people in the later stage, becoming the leader.
Afterwards, I feel so cold at the top, and the soundtrack when I recall and say goodbye to my past self is very interesting.
We can't let such a good soundtrack go to waste because of Fa Zai alone.
Time passed quietly. Zhao Donghuai and Wu Zhenyu ate food and drank beer. An hour had passed. Zhou Run handed out the script, took a deep breath, and said excitedly, "Sheng Zhao, this script... this script is so good."
Yes! Thank you Mr. Zhao for thinking highly of me. I acted without any pay. Mr. Zhao will definitely keep it for me."
He was very excited.
Putting aside the main plot development issues, the male protagonist Li Zicheng appears as the director of the Pan-Asia Group, the original No. 2 figure in the "East Star Sect", second only to Ding Qing. The opening chapter is to find out who betrayed the old chairman, and ordered torture to extract a confession.
Putting people into cement buckets, pouring cement and throwing them into the sea is very useful.
Throughout the whole process, Ah Cheng was a cold-faced man.
But his character is very full, even terrifying. He joined Dongxing 6 years ago as a police undercover, and worked together with Ding Qing from the lowest level. Six years ago, Ding Qing was still a guy who couldn't stop urinating frequently after getting into fights. He was Li Zi.
Cheng took the machete and took the lead in attacking the country.
Ding Qing can become the leader of the Dongxing Sect. Even after the death of the old chairman of the newly merged Pan-Asia Group, Ding Qing can become the biggest new leading competitor. Li Zicheng is also indispensable. Half of the country is Ah
Dozens!
But who would have known that he was an undercover agent from the beginning?!
Not only that, Li Zicheng's most important younger brother and confidant Ma Shihu was also an undercover agent sent by the police inspector to monitor him... Li Zicheng's wife, the wife who got married and had children, was all sent by the police inspector to monitor him.
From the beginning, because of his ruthless behavior, the police bosses have not trusted Li Zicheng. In order to prevent Li Zicheng from betraying him, it can be said that around him, there are either society enemies or competitors who are constantly attacking each other and stealing business.
.
Either the police superiors have been forcing you to betray the group, betray the boss, betray grandpa, or they are all spying on you.
Ding Qing was the only one who always regarded him as his life and death brother.
The script makes it very clear that after the death of the old chairman, the Pan-Asia Group was leaderless. Ding Qing, as the new biggest competitor, was about to take over. Li Zicheng kept applying to his boss to end the undercover operation. He didn't want to do it anymore.
But he was forced and threatened without even taking a step back.
In order to break the case and make meritorious deeds, the supervisory supervisor and the director kept trying to force him to stay in power. The police took the initiative to instigate Ding Qing, the No. 3 figure in the group, and Li Zhongjiu, the No. 4 figure in the Hongxing faction, to fight among themselves and lose both sides.
Helping Li Zicheng rise to the top.
After the death of the chairman, the second-in-command was Zhang Shouji, the boss of Lian Sheng. However, Zhang lost power when Lian Sheng and Lian Sheng were merged to form a new group. He was just an empty boss with no one and no subordinates to use.
As soon as the leader died, the police pretended to favor Zhang Shouji, the empty shell of No. 2, to take the position, and incited the third boss Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu to engage in various shopping sprees. In fact, they forced the fifth boss Li Zicheng to take the position.
The despair and trembling that Li Zicheng felt when he wanted to quit but was forced to continue.
During the internal fighting within the group, Ding Qing found several undercover police officers, including Ding Qing's confidant Ma Shihu, the intelligence officer who Ding Qing contacted the police on a daily basis, and his female Go teacher...all were caught by Ding Qing.
Li Zicheng was brutally beaten in the face.
Or Li Zicheng couldn't bear the pain of their death, so he shot them first and sent them on their way. He felt all kinds of fear, despair and fear when shooting.
Then, Ding Qing was ambushed by Li Zhongjiu's men and was seriously injured. Before he died, he said, I left you something good. Go and see. From now on, you will be the boss. If you are ruthless, you will not be able to stand.
, this kind of desperate situation...
When he looked at what Ding Qing left behind in his last words, it turned out to be his police academy files.
It made me cry so hard.
He is struggling in hell, and the only person who can brighten his life is Ding Qing, a good brother! The wives he shares the same bed with are surveillance personnel controlled by the police boss.
Just from the completeness of the story, character, life background, environment and other aspects, the character Li Zicheng is too plump and remarkable, and his acting skills are...
Now Ah Fa is worried about whether his acting skills are qualified for such an exciting, varied and deep role.
If you perform well, you will probably win an award; if you perform poorly, you will continue to fail.
The corresponding role of Li Zicheng in the original Infernal Affairs won the Golden Elephant and Golden Horse Best Actor.
The Hollywood adaptation, well, it won Oscars for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. Li Zicheng's counterpart, played by DiCaprio, didn't win any awards. It must be because he wasn't good enough with the water gun on the beach.
.
South Korea's New World also didn't have the actor Li Zicheng, so he won other awards.
Fat Jai didn't know that, but after reading the complete script, he knew it was a good book!
If he doesn't act well, he will be overshadowed by others. After reading Li Zicheng's book, he knows that his biggest acting rival is the one who plays Ding Qing. This is also true. The one who played Ding Qing in the Korean version won the Blue Dragon Best Actor and the Daejong Best Actor.
Nominated, Baeksang Awards Best Actor nomination.
After being excited, Fa Zai hurriedly took out his cigarette and said, "Director, when do you plan to start filming? Who does Ding Qing want to find? I have no other intention, I just want to prepare well in advance."
Zhao Donghuai smiled, "What do you think of Wan Ziliang? I heard that he has also signed a film contract with Shaw Brothers? I don't know if I can invite him."
