Chapter 188 I haven't been a big brother for a long time
In his previous life, Song Zijie was played by his "brother", and he was also the best among several creators. At that time, "Tan Zhang's competition for hegemony" had just begun, and Mr. Rong was at the top of the singing world. He was invited as a popular idol to star in "The Color of Heroes", and the film came up with some ideas about the topic and box office. There is no essential difference from the later invitation of Zhou Dong to join "Full City with Golden Armor" and Brother Chun to participate in "October Siege". Therefore, when the script was sent to the "brother", everyone was still a little nervous. Song Zijie, a young role, was really thankless and didn't know if he would refuse to accept it.
Rong Shao was not optimistic about Song Zijie and thought he was a bad boy, but he smiled and said that he had declined this time, while expressing his willingness to join the film.
Director Wu later recalled that when shooting "The Color of Heroes", he was quite depressed. Economically, both public and private were overstretched. Rong Shao knew that he was poor. He quickly joined and settled the investors who needed to be popular stars to join. In private, he asked him more than once if he wanted to borrow money to help.
Because he is so loyal, Director Wu felt very sorry for the success of "The Color of Heroes". He would like to thank him for his help in starting shooting this film. Now everyone has made a lot of money, but he has not got any benefits. So in the second part, Director Wu waved his pen and changed Song Zijie's role to be positive and plump, so he won a nomination for the best actor, although he failed to win the award in the end.
In fact, in this life, even if Zhang Duo does not play Song Zijie, it doesn't matter much. Ji Liancheng, a popular star, is enough to ensure the box office. Pulling up Zhang Duo is just the icing on the cake and an extra layer of insurance. And the reason why Zhang Duo will play the role is similar to that of Rong Shao in his previous life. Such a good film must take him to play. Zhang Duo's idea is that it would be a pity not to show his face in such a classic film.
It's just that he played Song Zijie, and it was always a little difficult to get into the play. It was not until he began to think about all the scenes about Song Zijie in his mind that this situation improved.
Although the effect is very good, it makes Zhang Duo a little regretful. He thought his acting skills were already very good, but in the end, he still needed to cheat to deal with it.
It was still the scene of the bar. He was taught a lesson by his boss and was told not to deal with the big brother's case again. He saw Brother Hao in the bar and rudely called him to the alley behind the bar. Roughly pushing Brother Hao to the wall, the action was completely done when he treated the prisoner, not to his own brother.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't move!" Song Zijie, played by Zhang Duo, searched behind Tan Fulong, pushed his shoulder and asked, "What did Boss Cheng say to you?"
Tan Fulong shook his head helplessly and said, "Chat!"
"Don't fool me. Are you talking about business or chatting?" Zhang Duo is very impatient.
"It's really a chat!"
"Is the goods arriving again?"
Tan Fulong held the wall with one hand and shook his head with his back to Zhang Duo and said, "I don't know!"
"Where will the goods be shipped and when will the goods be shipped?" Zhang Duo's tone became more and more impatient.
Tan Fulong continued to shake his head and said, "I don't know!"
Zhang Duo first looked calm, then grabbed Tan Fulong and roared, "You don't know anything. How to be a big brother?"
Tan Fulong plays Brother Hao, with a surprised and sad face. He doesn't know why his brother treats himself like this, "Ajie!"
Zhang Duo was very sad and indignant and said formally, "Don't call me by my name, call me police officer!" Because there is a brother of the underworld, Song Zijie can hardly be promoted in the police station, and his anger can be imagined.
Brother Hao, played by Tan Fulong, was even more sad. He was a close brother when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was opposed by soldiers and bandits. Tan Fulong lowered his head helplessly and said with a sad and angry expression, but couldn't cry, "Officer, I haven't been a big brother for a long time!"
Zhang Duo was a little surprised and took out his notebook and said, "Where do you work?"
"United Taxi Company!"
"Are you going to drive a taxi to rob? Ah! Where do you live?" Zhang Duo had a sarcasm on his face.
"United Taxi Company!"
Zhang Duo tilted his head and said with hatred in his eyes, "Someone is willing to take him in as a thief!"
Brother Ma, played by Ji Liancheng, finally couldn't help coming out from behind, pushed Zhang Duo away and said, "You bastard, thief, he has no name!" Don't think that a gun is unreasonable."
Zhang Duo stumbled and was pushed by Ji Liancheng. He took out a gun and pointed it at Ji Liancheng's head and said, "If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you lame."
Ji Liancheng was not afraid. He shot a gun from his forehead and said, "I warn you not to point a gun at my head!" Shoot me if you have the guts. Shoot, you shoot!"
Tan Fulong ran over, pressed Zhang Duo's hand holding the prop gun and said, "Ajie, officer, I know I owe you a lot. Can you give me a chance?"
"Give you a chance, why don't you give me a chance?" Zhang Duo roared. Ajie used to be a happy and carefree big boy, but now he has become a painful and angry detective. He once loved the eldest brother and became the thief he hates the most! He was angry about his father's death and his eldest brother's deception. His painful boss's view of him as having a gangster, which hurt in his hands, on his face, and even more in his heart!
"Do you know that I don't even have a chance to be promoted for you, because you are a gangster?" In Zhang Duo's eyes, he was both sad and determined. You are not allowed to leave Hong Kong, and I will keep an eye on you! After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
"CUT, pass!" Behind the camera, deputy director Wu Jiangxiong shouted. In addition to "The Hero", Wanbang is still shooting "Little Li Feidao" starring Shi Tianyou, directed by Chen Feiyang and Gu Zongling as the producer, so "The Hero" has selected another deputy director to help Zhang Duo.
After shooting this set of shots, Jin Yutang took the lead in applauding, "Yes, A Duo, the outbreak just now is quite emotional!"
Zhang Duo smiled bitterly and said, "You deliberately buried me, right? NG has only passed eight times. What's there to boast about!"
Jin Yutang came over and put his arms around Zhang Duo's neck and said, "There is no such thing as NG in filming. You are also a director. Can't you still think about this?"
Zhang Duo asked Wu Jiangxiong to arrange the crew to go to the next scene, and then said to Jin Yutang, "Cunyu, it is impossible to release the mainland. Have you ever thought about Hong Kong? You're not really going to just sell video tapes, are you?"
Jin Yutang smiled and said, "Of course, I have thought about it. I have already said hello to the three theaters here, and the three will be released at the same time!"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "The three major cinemas here have always been different. Now they will jointly release our films. Isn't it that you want to cooperate with us to develop the mainland market?"
"You see it thoroughly. They do mean it. As you know, since the mid-1990s, the movie market here has gone downhill. Although the same is true in mainland China, after all, the population base is large and the market potential is always there. Especially recently, our film "East and West" has been selling well at the box office. They were very moved to see it. The owners of film and television companies came to me to talk about cooperation one by one. They actually said that "East to West" is a Hong Kong style. There are many films of this type. As long as we help introduce them, the benefits will not be less than our Wanbang!" Jin Yutang said.
Hearing this, Zhang Duo couldn't help smiling. Hong Kong films in this world can't be compared with their previous lives at all. However, there are still certain achievements in comedy and action films, but Zhang Duo is not very interested in the introduction.
"Just discuss this matter with Brother Song. I have no objection!"
"A Duo, we are going to borrow someone's cinema. How can we introduce some meanings?"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Cousin Yu, we are going to use their cinemas, but we also need to share their profits. After the film is released, we will ensure that these cinemas will be overcrowded!"
"If it were released in China, how great it would be to have such a scene!" Jin Yutang sighed.
Zhang Duo patted Jin Yutang on the shoulder and said, "Cousin Yu, don't worry about this unrealistic idea. You still look forward to selling more videos at that time!"
"Well, that's all I can do!"
Zhang Duo took the crew and began to fight in Hong Kong. Jin Yutang, as a producer, provides various conveniences for the crew and deals with various complex relationships. Fortunately, his identity in his office is very useful. After all, after 1997, even the local snake here has to give Jin Yutang face. No one dares to come to the set to make trouble.
Zhang Duo is now familiar with making movies. Although he is not as fast as Wang Jing, the "fast shooter" in his previous life, he is also very fast. The main reason is that the play has been prepared for a long time, and the script has been sent to the actors for a long time. Everyone has enough time to figure out the characters, so it is naturally easy to play.
For example, when many Hong Kong films began shooting in the past, there was no script and time limit. The actors did not have time to figure out the characters at all, so naturally there were a large number of bad movies.
It took the crew a month to finally finish filming all the scenes. After spending a few more days on post-production, Jin Yutang took the tape for review in Hong Kong, but did not take it to the General Administration of the mainland.
Because it is definitely impossible to pass the review on the mainland, this film is still a Hong Kong film in the world. Except for Ji Liancheng, Li Shaoxiong, who plays A Cheng, and Zhang Duo, who plays A Jie, all the other actors are local in Hong Kong. Most of the people in the crew are also recruited here.
Jin Yutang's idea is to introduce it to the mainland in the form of a videotape after it is released in Hong Kong. In that case, the resistance will be much smaller.
And Zhang Duo flew back to Bincheng after completing the post-production. "The Dragon Slayer" is about to end, and the "shooting trilogy" is also coming to an end. He didn't think about what books will be serialized later, but he plans to go back to discuss with Tang Tianhao.
