Johnston Dawny Building, Jianghu Emergency Film Production Company. (Original Locomotive Office 1024.)
"Thanks."
He kept the middle part, with a fat body and dark skin, no matter how he looked like the supporting role in the early years.
He took the teacup with a simple expression, held it in the palm of his hand, rubbed it for a moment, and then spoke up: "A Dong, are you doing well recently?"
"Yes." Luo Dong was as concise as ever.
"That's good……"
Hou Baoqian took a sip of strong tea, and swept his black little eyes around him. He suddenly felt that his waist was stabbed. He turned around and saw Yang Dechang wink at him.
"Oh-by-by-one, Azu is okay recently?"
"Yes." Luo Dong nodded and said one more sentence, "It's pretty good."
"Hahaha...that's good, that's good...I'm pretty good too - hiss~"
Hou lost money and twitched his face in pain. When he turned around, Yang Dechang crossed his legs, took off his frameless glasses and put them beside his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if nothing had happened.
Really treacherous!
Hou thought about it quietly, but Wu Xiaozu was a real person, and there were one words, one words, two words.
There are so many colorful things like Lao Yang... Sure enough, people who call social scalpels are mixed!
"The film industry is quite prosperous now. When I came here, I realized that your company and Acheng are both so big.
The 1024 locomotive has changed from a studio to a small group. It seems that the Hong Kong film market is really good..."
Hou plucked up the courage to lose money and had nothing to say, but found that Luo Dong silently handed over a newspaper, and his voice stopped completely—
"The box office of the movie produced by Locomotive 1024 failed, and the industry myth was broken and the loss was millions!" - "Oriental Daily".
Hou Qiuqian's facial features were filled with mournful eyes, and he pressed his scalp hard, looking at LYB as if asking for help - Yang Dechang gave this foolish guy a fierce look.
Finished thing!
Yang Dechang slowly put on his glasses and looked at Luo Dong with a smile, three-point order, three-point Zen, four-point sincerity... He Jiujiu said in a foolish manner: "A Dong, I have also watched the scene you filmed.
To be honest, I feel that your potential is more than just an idol star who is superficial, you are very shaped.
Director Hou returned to Wanwan and was obsessed with your potential. This time, he came here to bring a script and wanted to invite you to participate-"
He stretched his hand towards Hou Xiaoxian and hooked his index finger: Take it!
??(???)? Hou lost money and looked confused.
"script!"
A sound came out from Yang Dechang's teeth. After Hou lost money, he realized that he took out a wrinkled stack of paper from the bulging travel bag behind him.
Hum!!
The travel bag fell directly to the ground, and the toiletries, underwear and information were scattered on the ground like a flower.
"Sorry, things are too messy..."
Hou Xiaoxian bent down to pick up the information on the ground, gently wiped away the dust with his hands, sorted it out one by one, and carefully packed the script - on the contrary, the toothbrush and underwear were not too concerned about it, so he stuffed it back in a mess.
"?"
Hou Xiaoxian paused and raised his head. He also held one hand on the other side of the script in his hand. The two of them pulled their hands on a piece of paper. Luo Dong squatted in front of him with a calm expression and nodded at him.
"Thanks."
"Need not."
Luo Dong nodded slightly, thought for a while, took out a cigarette, "Do you smoke?"
Hou Xiaoxian took the cigarette and gave it to Yang Dechang. He lit one by himself, took a deep breath, and let out the smoke. He sighed deeply and spoke slowly.
"I thought about this script for three years and prepared for three years. Or, in 1983, after I finished filming my fifth work "The Man from the Windguck", I had such an idea hidden.
Until two years ago, I went to my friend's house and heard a song from that era, and the idea of making a movie for the first time emerged. That song seemed to be a representative of that era, and it was very depressing and sad...
This play tells the story of that era.
This is a taboo in Wanwan. Everyone avoids it and does not want to touch it.
When I said I wanted to shoot this subject, many people advised me not to touch it because it was very dangerous.
But, I was not going to "expose the old scars", but filmed a story from that time... Compared to social politics, I was more interested in ordinary people and their families. History is great, but individuals are like a drop in the ocean.
But I am more interested in the tiny individuals under the torrent of history! Do you know the 228th incident in Wanwan?”
Hou Xiaoxian's fat black face was hidden in the smoke. He might have been anxious and coughed twice, preparing to continue - but when he saw Luo Dong not waiting for him to speak.
"From a different standpoint, this may be an uprising or a riot, depending on which perspective you are from.
Objectively speaking, there may be some people here who are pursuing it, but thieves, robbers and various speculators have changed it.
This incident broke out in the second year after the restoration of Wanwan Province, when the workers, farmers and merchants in Wanwan were basically paralyzed, with shortage of supplies and lack of clothing and food. Not to mention them, Japan is in this state.
But the most embarrassing thing about the people of this province was that Wanwan had experienced nearly 50 years of colonial rule in Japan at that time. The contradictions between people from other provinces and people in this province were the contradictions under the social tide.
The Kuomintang chose the most wrong policy at that time, which intensified this contradiction... The intensification of policies, the bad economy, and the serious corruption caused the contradiction to escalate.
In 47 years, the tobacco specialist led the urban management to smash the cigarette stand, and then the two sides fell into a fierce conflict - known as the 228 incident in history!"
Luo Dong's expression was serious and his endless talk was stunned to tell the two people from Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang.
When talking about these things, he knew them well!
He even gave the two people a military science popularization:
"At that time, the National 21st Army was suppressed, and the former was Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army! The central government began to be reorganized in 1936, and the Baoding Group was in great power.
In the Sino-Japanese War, he had outstanding military achievements! He participated in the Shanghai War, the Wuhan War, the Second Changsha War, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle... Later, Minister of Defense Bai Chongxi personally led his army to Taiwan to suppress the 228 Uprising.
After completing it, he returned to China. Later, part of it was annihilated in the civil war, and part of it surrendered..."
“…………”
Hou Xiaoxian opened his mouth, feeling that the little things in the script are really insignificant in history... Sure enough, this drama should be light on the story and focus on character portrayal. Looking at Luo Dong, who fell silent after talking about politics and military, he suddenly had an absurd idea:
If he comes to act, isn't it suitable?
First, Luo Dong understands the story background. Second, the other party has influence and Hong Kong actors participate, which is conducive to ensuring market success. Third, the other party is at the right age. Fourth, he has worked with Luo Dong and knows that the other party has potential to tap and performs spiritually. Fifth, the other party’s boss is rich!
Hou Xiaoxian gritted his teeth with the thought of burning his boats: "A Dong, are you interested in this story?"
Yang Dechang was stunned.
He just handed over the script to be polite, with the purpose of extending the topic so that he can talk about the initiative to this new drama.
But looking at Hou Xiaoxian's solemn appearance at this time, my heart suddenly broke out.
A Hong Kong star performs a movie where Wanwan localization is abrupt??
Hou Xiaoxian seemed to understand Yang Dechang's concerns, and said softly with a very tone, "I'm thinking, just let A Si just forget about it."
In his previous life, the young Liang Chaowei played A Si, but because he couldn't speak Mandarin and Minnan well, he became mute. In this life, it was almost the same.
"?" Yang Dechang unexpectedly glanced at the 'Roykin' who had been silent.
He knew that Hou Xiaoxian had been fond of using non-professional actors for a long time because non-professional actors looked very real and simple on the screen.
The starry taste of celebrities is so outstanding, and good actors are too fine. However, what this drama needs is roughness and directly dissolve into the texture, otherwise it will really ruin the subject matter.
Is Roykin a star who comes from Chen Haonan?????
He has reservations.
Of course, he also discovered that Roy Kin had a temperament that other Hong Kong stars did not have.
Luo Dong glanced lightly at the streets, not knowing what they were talking about.
He silently held the cigarette in his mouth, watched coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and was quietly dazed.
He is this kind of personality.
"Young and Dangerous" doesn't make him famous in Asia, but he also suddenly became the most popular idol star.
But he really didn't have so many desires and ambitions.
I still love Shao Damei in a down-to-earth and ignorant way. I flipped through military magazines, checked all kinds of political and military information, bought weapon models, and went to the boxing gym to practice boxing during my rest...
The boss said he was a star because it was a skill to make a living, so he acted in a movie; the boss said he could sing and increase his popularity, so he did it; the boss said he wanted to do some financial management and planning by himself, so he gave the money to Su Liyao to manage finances.
At the beginning, Wu Xiaozu wanted to film "The Butcher on the Rainy Night", and he was the first to find out the money. Wu Xiaozu urgently needed money in the stock market. Relying on the popularity of "Young and Dangerous", he took on many bad movies outside in one go and earned a pay for the boss.
He doesn't like being a celebrity very much, so he doesn't have too many concerns.
He lives a simple life, not as ambitious as Su Liyao, nor as fat as he thinks too much, so he naturally cannot compare to the scheming of the big boss.
He didn't think it would have much impact on himself, whether it was a million or tens of millions or a lot of money.
