We finally arrived at the Shaw Brothers studio. Xiao Ran, who is a movie fan, should feel excited. Of course, before that, we need to understand one thing, so that we can understand why.
Later people called New Art City the Shaolin Temple of directors, specializing in producing great directors, such as Wu Yusen, Lin Lingdong, and Xu Ke. If you put it this way, then TVB is definitely the Shaolin Temple of actors, specializing in producing real emperors and superstars.
Actors, such as Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Liu Hua, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu, etc.
If future movie fans don’t have a heart attack from excitement when they come here, they will really have strong willpower. At least among the movie fans Xiao Ran knows, at least nine out of ten really want to see this prosperous era of Hong Kong movies.
era.
However, Xiao Ran was not particularly excited, just because he had been in this era for nearly half a year and had seen quite a few influential people. Even if he had seen monsters many times, it was difficult for him to be afraid of them again, let alone humans.
In the office building of the studio, Wei Jiahui found the person in charge and learned about all the shooting conditions today. The first thing Xiao Ran saw in this document was Du Qifeng, who was filming in a studio.
Not long after, Wei Jiahui and You Zhi, who were familiar with each other, led the way and soon arrived at the large studio. Xiao Ran rarely watched TV series, so he didn't know exactly what they were filming. However, this one was indoors
Play, that's for sure.
To Qifeng is a very dominant director in Hong Kong in the future. Galaxy Video, which he co-founded with Wei Jiahui, has stolen the hearts of many movie fans. A series of films produced by Galaxy in its early years are regarded as classics by movie fans and they are worshiped.
.
This person is Xiao Ran's favorite director in the post-1997 era. His extremely strong personal style and sharp and cold image style make every audience who knows how to appreciate it obsessed with him. Especially "Gunfire".
This style is presented so vividly that this film has well deserved to be the pinnacle of Hong Kong gangster movies.
The most admirable thing is that To Qifeng officially emerged after 1997, when other directors had no films to make, or were unwilling to make films when the market was at the bottom. He was the only one who always directed three films every year very planned
The films were all box-office hits. It cannot be said that he saved Hong Kong films, but in difficult times, it was indeed him and Galaxy Image who supported the shaky situation.
Not to mention that Xiao Ran likes his works very much, but only for Du Qifeng's future achievements, even if his character is really not that good, they are all worthy of admiration. However, Du Qifeng now is not as fat as he will be in the future, but only
He has a little idea of what he will look like in the future, which is a bit like a man's 1880s transformation.
Of course, both Wei Jiahui and You Zhi saw Xiao Ran who was staring blankly at Du Qifeng, but with a twinkling look in his eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled. Wei Jiahui took Xiao Ran and sat down aside to wait for the scene to be finished and said: "You want to get to know each other?"
Him? No problem!"
To Qifeng can barely be considered a late-blooming director. He worked as a director in TVB in his early years, and he was the director in "Legend of the Condor Heroes". Because the results of his first directorial work "Blue Water, Cold Mountain, and Gold" were not good, he became discouraged.
Return to the wireless industry.
Later, he was invited by New Art City to film "Happy Ghost Collision", which established his confidence in one fell swoop. By the end of the 1980s, he also produced "Eight Star Announcement", a box office champion, and a classic tragedy
"Alang's Story" made him truly determined to develop in the film industry.
Recalling all this, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly. He found that he had thought too much. Now he only needed to build a good relationship with Du Qifeng. It would take ten years for Old Du to hone his own style.
Not long after, Du Qifeng finished filming the scene. He saw Wei Jiahui and the others early in the morning. After finishing the scene, he asked the assistant director to tell the others to take a rest first. After the arrangements were made, he smiled.
come over.
The scene of Du Qifeng instructing the assistant director was noticed by Xiao Ran, who had been watching over there, but he always felt that the assistant director wearing glasses looked familiar, but who was he? He couldn't help but frowned, the assistant director looked very strange
Handsome, he looks like an actor.
Countless familiar faces quickly flew through his mind. Suddenly, Xiao Ran's whole body trembled slightly, and his eyes cast a hot light. He finally recognized that the assistant director turned out to be Chen Musheng. Now, he really remembered Chen Musheng completely.
resume.
Chen Musheng has served as Du Qifeng's assistant director since 1983 until Du Qifeng focused on movies in 1987. In 1990, Du Qifeng, Wang Jing and Lin Lingdong, three major directors, jointly planned "If There is Love", Du Qifeng had the idea of promoting his old subordinates
, let Chen Musheng become the director.
Needless to say, what happened as a result, "Love" has become a classic. Chen Musheng is quite capable. The only films in Hong Kong that have the most Hollywood essence are "Dragon Detective" and "The Fury of the Stormtroopers".
"Street", the former is a demonstration of Wu Yusen's abilities before going to Hollywood. The latter is a film directed by Chen Musheng. It is definitely a classic action film that you will never tire of.
There is no doubt that Chen Musheng will be Hong Kong's leading action director in the future. However, in the 21st century, Chen Musheng's pursuit of breakthroughs gradually went astray. This led to a period of silence. In Xiao Ran's era, his latest masterpiece was
"Sanchakou".
As soon as he thought of this, Du Qifeng walked up to him. You Zhi gave Xiao Ran a slight tug. Only then did Xiao Ran realize that the person standing in front of him was one of his favorite directors and stood up quickly. Wei Jiahui introduced with a smile: "Adu,
Let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Ran, a very talented screenwriter, whose debut work is "Mr. Zombie"! This is..."
"No introduction is needed!" Xiao Ran finally calmed down the excitement of seeing Chen Musheng in the sudden situation. He smiled and stretched out his hand: "You are Du Qifeng, one of the best directors at Wireless!"
What Xiao Ran said can be said to be true, or it can be said to be false. The truth is that Du Qifeng is indeed the best director that TVB will have in the next twenty years, but the truth is that he is definitely not the best director at TVB now.
You know, shooting TV and shooting movies are completely different. When shooting movies, you can pay attention to how to shoot a certain shot and how to use the color temperature of pigments, but shooting TV series has never paid attention to these, and it is not so important. Therefore, TV series are the most difficult to show.
Director's stuff.
Everyone loves flattery. Du Qifeng laughed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, the producer is the biggest. But Mr. Xiao, I have watched "Mr. Zombie", it is a very innovative theme!"
Xiao Ran was startled, and suddenly secretly rejoiced. Du Qifeng still seemed reluctant to give up the movie. The four of them chatted together for a while, and Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something very strange. If his memory was correct, You Zhi should be Du Qifeng
Only half a disciple, why does You Zhi always follow Wei Jiahui?
Now that the person involved was here, it was difficult to clear up the doubts without asking. He hesitated for a moment, then carefully considered his words and said: "Ayou, aren't you hanging out with Adu? Why do I always see you and Xiaobao?"
Together?"
There were weird looks in the eyes of the three people. Wei Jiahui held back his laughter and shook his head and said: "Where did you hear that Ayou is with Adu? He has always been with me, and only occasionally comes to Adu to help.
That’s all.”
An accident, indeed an accident! Only then did Xiao Ran realize that his understanding was incorrect. He shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more. Although he knew many unknown things about Hong Kong movies, some things were over twenty years old.
It’s not surprising that the truth has been obscured over the years.
"Who is he?" Xiao Ran had a sudden realization. He didn't expect that both of them were Wei Jiahui's people. Thinking of this, he pointed his finger at Chen Musheng and asked deliberately: "Why do I think he looks more like an actor than an assistant director?"
!”
"His name is Chen Musheng, and he is my assistant!" Du Qifeng is still very kind now, and his speech is not as arrogant as expected. He has not yet received the nickname Du Dapao: "He is quite capable, and he also has some ideas. How about
Come to him?"
Xiao Ran naturally nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He was joking. If he missed Chen Musheng and didn't make friends with him, then wouldn't he lose a lot of gains during this visit? At Du Qifeng's wave, Chen Musheng trotted over.
First he said hello to everyone, then looked at Xiao Ran and said with a smile: "Who is this?"
After the introduction, the five people talked for a while, and Xiao Ran asked for the contact numbers and addresses of Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng, and then left with Wei Jiahui and You Zhi. Soon they came to another location for filming, and Xiao Ran tried his best to play a role among the large group of supporting actors.
Searching inside.
At this time, he wished that his eyes were Eagle Eyes. However, before he became Eagle Eyes, he had a familiar face, Liu Qingyun. Liu Qingyun has obviously got rid of his status as a bit player and can already play supporting roles.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but groaned in his heart. Oh my god, Wireless is like a treasure. After this visit, he was probably rewarded unimaginably. He didn't know that this Clear Water Bay studio was where filming was done.
Everyone from TVB is filming here, so there will naturally be a lot of talented people in the future.
This time there was no need for Wei Jiahui and You Zhi to lead the way. Xiao Ran walked straight to Liu Qingyun with light steps, while Wei You and the two behind him followed him with confused expressions. This time Xiao Ran met the one he liked.
The actor is inevitably a little excited, but he has already thought about how to deal with such emotions.
There was a faint but sincere smile on his face, and his right palm was curled up except for his thumb and index finger. He was used to this action. This action made him think well and calmed him down.
Walking up to Liu Qingyun, Xiao Ran stared at him as if he was sizing up a national treasure, until sweat broke out on his forehead. Xiao Ran never noticed this, he just couldn't help but praise Liu Qingyun's handsomeness out loud! However, he was afraid that Liu Qingyun would think that
It's a joke. In fact, everyone knows that in the 21st century, one of the two dark horse princes in Hong Kong is Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun was really afraid of the guy in front of him who was staring at him with a "sexy" look. He moved his mouth slightly and asked cautiously: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Xiao Ran woke up suddenly and wished he could wipe away his sweat. He couldn't stop laughing: "My name is Xiao Ran. I see you have a good appearance and I really want to get to know you! What's your name?"
