Huaxia Film Cooperation Company has collected many Qin Dynasty armors, swords, guns, bows and arrows, military uniforms from World War II, prop guns, and even trucks, artillery planes and tanks from several film studios. The latter are coordinated by the Bayi Factory and obtained from the army.
The system was borrowed, but the Xiangjiang crew couldn't get it.
There were not so many group performances in this era. The mainland directly contacted the troops to cooperate with the performance, and specially mobilized a cavalry unit to help. They brought a large number of military horses with them.
There is an assistant director arranged by the mainland on the crew who was seconded from the Bayi Film Studio. He leads a team and is responsible for the scheduling of big scenes.
The crew members in Xiangjiang learned a lot from it, which they could not have access to in the studio. Cheng Xiaodong and Liu Zhenwei learned even more. In a small place like Xiangjiang, how could the director dare to do this?
.
Sister Fen and the others have inquired about the fact that many media are hyping up the topic of movie special effects based on the upcoming release of "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" and what Cheng Xiaodong said in an interview. They are not targeting Youlian, but just coincidentally.
Behind this is actually a secret fight between the Hong Kong film industry and the Wanwan film industry for the right to speak.
In recent years, Wanwan's Golden Horse Awards have become more and more localized. Many films in Hong Kong that have good reputations and box office success have inexplicably lost to Wanwan's niche films in the selection process.
The films produced by Wanwan are mainly literary films and feature films. They look down on the films in Xiangjiang. They always think that the films in Xiangjiang are too commercialized and are just action movies and gun fight movies that lack humanistic care and ideological depth and have no connotation.
Especially in the 1980s, Hong Kong movies were very popular across Asia. A large amount of money from Taiwan poured into the Hong Kong film industry to invest and make quick money.
This resulted in Wanwan lacking investment when producing its own films, and the film market was shrinking day by day, forcing Wanwan's outstanding filmmakers to go to Hong Kong to hunt for gold, making the situation in Wanwan's film industry even worse.
In 1982, Hong Kong established its own Hong Kong Film Awards in order to get rid of the influence of the Bay Area Golden Horse Awards to a certain extent and make its own voice heard.
This has also made the mainstream of the Wanwan film industry more resistant to Hong Kong films. During the selection of the Golden Horse Awards, this trend became more and more obvious, causing the film and television companies in Hong Kong to complain.
Take the film "A Better Tomorrow" produced by Youlian in 1986 as an example. With this film, Ti Lung won the Best Actor at the 23rd Bay Golden Horse Awards. Fa Ge, who was also nominated, lost. The Best Film went to Bay
The movie "Terrorist" produced by Bay.
Fast forward to the past year, and the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards held subsequently, the Best Actor was awarded to Fa Ge, and the Best Film was also awarded to "A Better Tomorrow".
More than two years have passed, and "A Better Tomorrow" is still going strong and has an excellent reputation among movie fans. And how many people still have an impression of "The Terrorist", which won the Golden Horse Award for Best Film?
It is already obvious that the two sides are fighting against each other. Although no one will point this fact out to the outside world, everyone in the industry knows it.
Especially last year, a little-known Bay Area movie "Scarecrow" actually stood out from Hong Kong's outstanding films such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Plan A Sequel" and "Rouge Button" and became the top winner of the Golden Horse Awards.
It was a great movie, which made the Hong Kong film community very dissatisfied.
Therefore, this great debate on "movie special effects" is a counterattack that has been brewing for a long time in the Hong Kong film industry.
Most of Wanwan's films are small-scale productions that focus on plot, which is very different from the fast-paced, industrialized, and entertainment-oriented approach of the Hong Kong film industry.
Therefore, the debate instigated by the Hong Kong media under the theme of "special effects" was instigated by some heavyweights in the Hong Kong film industry.
They want to guide ordinary people to pay more attention to the special effects shots in movies when watching movies, so as to effectively attack Bay Area movies and further increase the appeal of movies from the two places to audiences.
After understanding the truth behind the scenes, Sister Fen formulated a unified propaganda caliber for her artists. Focusing on promotional videos and leading film and television special effects studios, she took a middle-of-the-road approach to the topic of film special effects.
Anyway, the company has movies like "Ancient and Modern War" that require a lot of special effects shots, dramas like "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Alang's Story" that rely on plot, and "God of Gamblers" that don't have many special effects.
But he made a very good movie.
Since various situations have occurred in the company's existing projects, Wu Yusen and others can naturally say whatever they want and will not be led astray by the media.
There is only one principle of Youlian. It is up to the big guys behind the scenes to do whatever they want. Youlian will not get involved and just keep silent and make a fortune.
…
While Wu Yusen was dealing with reporters, celebrities from the Hong Kong film industry who had already entered the venue used the time before the premiere to gather in groups and chat about topics of interest to them.
The senior management of Youlian and the staff of relevant departments are busy in an orderly manner, either receiving reporters and film critics respectively, or discussing future cooperation with the bosses of other film and television companies.
At the premiere venue, not only were they busy, but the people from the Future Building Security Department were also busy. They had to carefully take out the reporters and fans who had sneaked in without invitations without affecting other people.
In front of the entrance of the screening hall, a tall white man, two meters tall, wearing a straight black security uniform, with electric eyes, was inspecting the venue.
He had a headset on his head and was whispering something from time to time. There were two security guards behind him. He stood there like a mountain. His aura was very strong and attracted the attention of many guests.
At this time, the cheers in the outfield suddenly became louder. It turned out that Fa Ge, wearing a black suit and slicked back hair, appeared at one end of the red carpet.
This is his classic look in the movie "God of Gamblers". The one who walked on the red carpet with him was not a female star, but Xiang Qiang. He also maintained the "Dragon Five" look and walked side by side to the theater with Fa Ge
door.
It is normal for Fa Ge to walk on the red carpet. As the boss of Yongsheng Pictures, Xiang Qiang should have gone through the VIP channel and directly entered the infield.
However, Yong Sheng continued to participate in Youlian's new project, the investment in the film "The Gambler". Therefore, Xiang Qiang took the initiative to participate in the entrance ceremony to build momentum for "The Gambler".
Since Xiang Qiang is so active, Youlian will certainly support it. So Fa Ge and Xiang Qiang appeared in public together in this look.
The two walked along, waving to the enthusiastic fans on both sides, and stopping from time to time to pose for photographers to take pictures.
Soon, they walked up to the three hosts amidst the cheers of the fans.
