Princess Gold, Lydia Theatre.

The midnight preview screening of "Dragon and Tiger" came to a perfect conclusion, and the audience was very excited.

Lam Lingdong finally shot the "realistic violence" style masculine movie he wanted to shoot. The cheers from the audience were enough to show how wonderful this movie was.

Everyone understands that New Art City has developed another commercially successful product.

With this film, Mecca has consolidated its position. Lam Ling-tung has also entered the ranks of Hong Kong's first-tier directors with this film "Dragon Tiger".

In 1982, he came to prominence with "Yin Yang". Six years later, this movie gave him the opportunity to become famous.

During this period, he immersed himself in filming many movies, and the feedback and accumulation of these movies gave him a chance to gamble. Fortunately, he won the bet.

This movie is like Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow" last year, it is also a masterpiece.

In comparison, Wu Xiaozu was one step behind.

The 28 million for "Young and Dangerous" alone cannot get him into the door of this front-line director. Before this, Lam Ling-tung had many films with a box office of 10 million, and "The Best Partner: Save the Chai Po from a Thousand Miles Away" even had a box office of 27 million.

.However, no one thought that he was one of the first-line directors in Hong Kong at that time.

Wu Xiaozu was also facing such a dilemma at the moment.

Whether it's "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" or "The Birth of a Prefix," these two films have enough style but not enough commercial universality.

The publicity of these two films is greater than the commercial properties of the films themselves.

This is like "Eating Mango 3" in the previous life. To say that it is a bad movie is to tell lies. But for the film's box office success, the publicity of the film definitely played a big role. The publicity of this film

It can be called a classic case.

A certain hand, short video marketing led by Dou

The short video APP is full of various "eating mangoes", "various crying videos in the theater", and "gesture dance videos".

Huayi's marketing team has taught the entire industry a lesson. This kind of successful marketing can play a big role as long as the quality of the film is not too bad.

but!

The box office generated by this kind of marketing will not allow the "commodity" to maintain its value, nor will it allow the director to increase its value. The best example is the "Pancake Fruit Man" marketed by Dapeng that year, which overextended its reputation, leading to the decline of subsequent self-directed and self-starred films.

This kind of marketing will not easily increase the director's value, let alone box office appeal.

This is the situation that Wu Xiaozu is facing now. Three movies have been a hit at the box office, and he can be said to be a potential supernova. But it is not enough for him to enter the door of a first-line director.

"Young and Dangerous" is commercial enough, but its style is a bit lacking.

…

In the corner of the entertainment venue after the third round of drinking, three men were holding wine glasses, looking at each other, and smiling at each other. There was a feeling of meeting a close friend after a long drought...a thousand cups of wine will last for a long time.

A tall man with deep eyes and a friendly smile hanging from the corners of his mouth, yet he still has a unique and domineering look.

He is thin and tall, with introverted eyes, a polite expression on his face, and a sense of pride in himself.

One is named Zhou Runfa and the other is named Liang Gaohui.

The man in front of them had calm eyes and a faint smile. He was Wu Xiaozu.

"One is a cadre, and the other is a thief. One is insane to the extreme, unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and the other is calm to the extreme, dull and responsible. One is named Tang San, and the other is named Han Li."

"Shall I play Tang San?" Zhou Runfa raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Yes and no."

Wu Xiaozu gave Zhou Runfa and Liang Gaohui the whiskey, touched it lightly, drank the wine in the glass, and shook his head drunkenly, "To be precise, you are both Tang San and Han Li."

As he said that, Wu Xiaozu took out the storyboard and detailed script and handed them to the two of them, "I didn't cover all of the script before. Take these two copies back and read them. This play has a lot of dialogue and body.

Tang San was a gangster and Han Li was a policeman. The two started to oppose each other at first. But for some reason, their identities were swapped. Everyone had to take on the appearance of the other to survive.

Not only do they have to adapt to this identity, but they also have to express the personality of the person behind this face. In other words, you two not only have to interpret yourself, but also each other..."

Tang San is the character played by Nicolas Cage in his previous life, and Han Li is the policeman played by Travolta in his previous life.

Zhou Runfa picked up the storyboard and was astonished. The piece of paper on it was cut into two pieces, and it turned out to be his full-length color portrait.

On the left, a windbreaker flutters, a burgundy suit, frivolous eyes, the whole face reveals unbridled defiance and exaggeration, and the lips are slightly open, slightly sarcastic.

There was a cross necklace hanging on her chest, with a blood-red red gem inlaid in the middle of the cross.

Holding two pistols in his hands, he looked domineering, exaggerated, and shockingly coquettish.

Turning his head to look to the right, his painting style suddenly changed.

His eyes were looking straight, his face was angry, his legs were splayed, and his whole person was like a heavy hammer. Two guns were hanging down by his trousers, and his whole person revealed tolerance, anger, and waves of ferocious flames.

"Gulu!" Zhou Runfa wiped away a layer of whiskey in the glass and moistened his throat.

Before, he accepted Mecca's invitation mainly because of the salary and favors. But the moment he saw this painting, he felt a burst of passion in his heart. It was just like when he met the character "Little Ma"

Same.

This time the character has a wider span, is crazier! More violent! More stable! More forbearing! - more contradictory, more tense!

Ever since "A Better Tomorrow", Chow Yun-fat has been reluctant to take on roles. However, the role before him is definitely the biggest challenge to his acting skills so far.

Turn your head.

Liang Gaohui happened to look at him, and Chow Yun-fat smiled slightly.

He was nominated for three Academy Awards this year, but failed in the first two. The man in front of him is the best opponent.

"Brother Fa, I need you to lose weight for the role." Wu Xiaozu said truthfully.

"...Okay!" Zhou Runfa nodded.

"Brother Hui, you need to gain some weight and be stronger. Whether you are a policeman or a gangster, you cannot be polite." Wu Xiaozu looked at Liang Gaohui again.

"No problem!" Liang Gaohui agreed with a smile.

Three frustrated men drank wine, each with his own "ambition" in mind.

"The Deadly Heroes" not only carries Wu Xiaozu's ambitions, but also Liang Gaohui's thoughts, and now it also adds Zhou Yunfa's sustenance.

This drama not only tests the actors' acting skills, but also tests the director's skills.

Needless to say about the acting skills of the actors, the transformation of the two identities is the biggest attraction and gimmick of this movie. How to transform and how to shape the characters are all things that the actors need to handle carefully.

Such two identities are a big challenge for Zhou Runfa and Liang Gaohui.

At the same time, this drama also tests the director's skills.

How to narrate the story completely through the lens and light, and present the story to the audience heartily, without making the audience too "brain-burning", is the most important thing.

In later generations, Nolan was called the new king of Hollywood. His greatness did not lie in how brain-burning or high-quality his films were. His films were more about the best fusion of commercial entertainment and personal style.

It not only allows people who like to burn their brains to burn their brains appropriately, but also makes it enjoyable for ordinary audiences. The typical masterpiece that best combines commercialism and personal style in Chinese-language movies is "Let the Bullets Fly".

Wu Xiaozu hopes that the drama "The Two Deadly Heroes" will be his final step into the first-line ranks.

Looking at Lin Lingdong chatting and laughing, Wu Xiaozu's eyes sparkled.

Filmmakers such as Wu Yusen, Lam Ling-tung, Tsui Hark, Sammo Hung, Cheng Lung, Mak Tang-hsiung, etc. have already entered that door.

This is the best era for Hong Kong movies, with countless film elites standing beside and opposite us.

Wu Xiaozu himself didn't know that his thoughts had been slowly changing. He had left his own name in this glorious era.

I have a thousand-jin treasured sword hidden in my heart. Do you dare to step forward and try it?

…

Kowloon Song Town.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" filming location.

"Ah sneeze——"

A certain fairy girl was crying while holding a notebook, and sneezed on the handsome face of the handsome and stunning man in front of her who had no time to dodge.

"Leslie..." Wang Xianxian looked embarrassed as he looked at the pretty face in front of him that had suffered from his own Category 10 typhoon.

"It's okay, it's okay."

The man smiled gently and waved his hand, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his face, "Wait a minute-"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his handkerchief and wiped the corner of Wang Xianxian's mouth affectionately, looked left and right again, and then he was happy and satisfied, "Girls should know how to take care of themselves..."

"No, no, no... I'll do it myself!"

Wang Xianxian smiled politely, grabbed the handkerchief, coughed lightly intentionally or unintentionally, and said to herself, "Leslie, I'm dating, I have a boyfriend..."

"??"

The man looked at Wang Xianxian who was serious. He was startled at first, then burst into laughter, and then his whole body laughed.

This smile was so carefree that Wang Xianxian's beauty dimmed.

There is nothing more exquisite and handsome than a man. A man who has been beautiful all his life has never done anything wrong in his life and is kind to others. He brings the sounds of nature and joy to others, but leaves sorrow alone to taste for himself.

"I didn't know you were dating. You hold the phone all day long and talk on the phone with your boyfriend. I'm not blind." Zhang Guoyuan laughed happily, "Xianxian, I just treat you as my little sister. You Do you think I'm chasing you?"
