PS: Please recommend votes! Please give me monthly votes!
The Chinatown of Ho Chi Minh City is located in the city center. It is itself the largest gathering place for Chinatown in southern Vietnam. It is located on the embankment and later known as the Fifth County.
As mentioned in the novel, the pronunciation of the embankment (Cholon) is really close to China.
Shuttle through the streets, as if not in a foreign land...
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Chinese people gather here, forming a large Chinese community, which is also one of the largest Chinese communities in the world. Chinese chambers of commerce, restaurants, stalls, and shops are everywhere in the city. You can see neon lights or Chinese character signs when you look up, as if you are on the streets of Guangdong and Guangxi, with all kinds of arcades and archways everywhere.
In the description of "Lovers", the embankment is the richest place in Saigon. The Chinese have an important position in local industry and commerce, and there is a traditional decay and modern industry here.
"It seems that this place is not different from Hong Kong Island. Cantonese is spoken all over the street, and Cantonese restaurants can be seen everywhere...the plaques and plaques are all in the style of Hong Kong Island..." Qiu Shuzhen looked back and forth, "I just felt very defeated."
He was wearing white Ao Dai, with a perfect figure, and was carrying Wu Xiaozu's arms unscrupulously. It seemed as if he had returned to the day when he was a little girl with his elder brother.
"Most of them are from Fujian and Guangdong. The Chinese have a long history of moving south, but most of the Chinese people today fled during the War of Resistance Against Japan... or came with bald troops..." Wu Xiaozu looked at the slightly lonely old city in front of him, noisy, messy, and slightly dilapidated. The once prosperous life seemed like a dream.
The Chinese economy was swept away in 1970s. In 1986, he also started economic opening up. Only then did he start to lose weight, but he was no longer as important as he was back then.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Wu Xiaozu inexplicably thought of a series of films with Chinatown themes in which a scumbag went with him. In fact, "Detective Chinatown" is really a very traditional and well-conventional form of commercial films... But Teacher Chen did take this theme to the extreme and create one of the most successful commercial IPs in Chinese films.
So can this movie series be developed in the 1990s?
sure!
This dual-protagonist model is a very classic business model, this mature type of commercial film. Hollywood and Hong Kong Island have been filming... If you look closely, you will feel that "Rush Hour" seems to be very similar... "Best Partner" is the same.
The combination of comedy and reasoning has a very market and selling point.
"What are you thinking?" Qiu Shuzhen looked at Wu Xiaozu staring at the plaque in a daze. He looked up curiously and looked up, but did not find any strangeness.
"I'm thinking of shooting a movie with the theme of Detective Chinatown, with the dual protagonists, and the male protagonist A is a good person who is greedy for life and fears death, juggles, knows how to play with three legs, likes to play tricks... and then he also claims to be romantic... and at the same time he is cheesy..."
Qiu Shuzhen's eyes widened and couldn't help but say, "Are you reflecting Brother Long?"
?????
Little question mark, do you have many friends???
Don't talk nonsense, I don't, I'm not!
But... don't say it-
The comedy mystery film of Cheng Long + young man seems to be very interesting!?
Of course, the role played by Brother Long played by Bao Qiang.
However, some elements can be referenced, and different character designs are of course appropriate adjustments based on the actors.
Cheng Long will also have his own style display. After all, if he wants to shoot, Wu Xiaozu will definitely not give up on Brother Long's advantageous skills, otherwise it would be a real-life version of the game to buy a box and return the beads.
Brother Long is not difficult to accept when it comes to playing tricks.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the eye-catching Chunli...
Chinatown culture is not unfamiliar with foreign cultures. For foreigners, they also have their own understanding of Chinatown and will not have cultural obstacles. Because thanks to the existence of Bruce Lee, foreigners do think that they can do Kung Fu in Chinatown...
Chinatown itself is a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, which makes it easier to accept commercially. Not only foreigners are interested in Chinatown, but in fact, audiences in Chinese-speaking areas are also very interested in Chinatown.
The film fans will have a broad foundation, which determines the commercial market of the film.
"Looking back, I will send the outline to the company's screenwriters, asking them to create a comedy + reasoning story based on the outline." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.
"I thought you would choose Zhou Xingxing when you camedy." Qiu Shuzhen said seriously.
"His popularity and potential overseas cannot be compared with Brother Long."
Wu Xiaozu thought for a while and said, "The funny humor of the body is more extensive than the humor of language. Language humor must be displayed in the context. Zhou Xingxing is now becoming a Gagman in the film industry. But his humor requires a familiar language environment to be presented, which involves cultural accumulation.
It is sometimes difficult to let foreigners understand Zhou Xingxing’s humor. But Cheng Long’s body humor is very intuitive...and it is easier to get the effect. For example, if we look at Chaplin, Buster and Keaton, you will also find it very funny.
Of course, there is actually no actual difference between linguistic humor and physical humor. Zhou Xingxing is also very powerful, but now he is not suitable to leave the context of the Chinese-speaking circle... because his creation is rooted in the soil environment..."
This is also the reason why Cheng Long became one of the most well-known stars in the Chinese-speaking circle in the world in later generations.
It's really great.
This is also funny... Foreign movie fans are proud to take photos with Jack Cheng and respect him, believing that he has influenced many young people. But in China, he has a lot of black fans NT keyboard warriors...
Even if it’s about character, Jack Cheng is not at the bottom among celebrities, right? Does anyone really think that Hollywood stars are all saints?
Countless people in the circle respect it and are very popular abroad, but there are a lot of people outside the domestic circle diss, which is particularly strange.
The big nose dragon who was far away in Hong Kong Island sneezing hard, always feeling that his fans were dissipating himself...(*^▽^*)!
"Then are you physically powerful or verbal? " Qiu Shuzhen stretched out her tongue lightly, cut her pupils into water, and was charming and seductive.
"Go and buy Chinese medicine first and let you taste it." Wu Xiaozu whispered.
"What are you trying?" Qiu Mada smiled and his eyes were as charming as silk, "I am your herbal tea guide - Jia, Duo, Bo!"
You see, the little girl just likes to steal cars. It seems that she has to eat enough char siu buns.
…
Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road, Chongqing Building.
The entrance of a building with mottled signs that are incompatible with the surrounding prosperous scenes. There are many cheap hotels, shops, restaurants, foreign exchange stores and other service industries.
It is somewhat similar to the Guangyuan West Road where the dirt and dirt were hidden in Yangcheng later... Here are many Africans in Pakistan, India, and South Asia.
Many people say this is the third world paradise that exists in a bustling area. It is considered a frontier building in the core city, a place between a manufacturing hub in the developing world and the poorest ground-level areas.
Actually, that's right.
Chongqing Building is often slaughtered on the social page of Hong Kong Island newspapers.
For example, "Filipino maids committed suicide by taking medicine in Chongqing Building", "Vietnamese was arrested for hiding leaves." "Africans were dismembered in Chongqing Building", and "South Asians hid the building and confronted Indian guards" were everywhere.
Some people have counted that more than 100 nationalities come and go in the Chongqing Building every day. Every night, about 4,000 people of unidentified nationalities stay in this building. It can be said that it is a mixture of dragons and snakes, which has also breeded a large number of crimes.
Therefore, Chongqing Building has long been infamous in Hong Kong.
Of course, the reason why it became famous in later generations was because of Wang Jiawei's "Chongqing Forest". In fact, this drama was not all filmed in Chongqing Building, but only Aunt Lin's scenes were filmed here... Wang Jiawei took Aunt Lin and Du Kefeng and other crew members to enter Chongqing Building at that time.
During the filming process, the Indian guards in the building surrounded them in various ways. In the movie, the footage of the Chongqing Building was basically taken secretly.
As the saying goes, it is so dark that it is the ultimate natural fan. Because of the differences and dangers here, it has become a check-in place for many NT tourists in later generations.
By the way, Zhou Yule was once a resident here when she was young... Later, Zhou's mother insisted on moving away for her growth.
"Bad Teeth, are you wrong? Ask me to come here?"
The gentle man in glasses looked at the dirty environment filled with curry smell and couldn't help but cover his nose. This behavior made Asan, who was passing by, stare at him in a drowning look.
"Deng Sir, don't be anxious..."
The man had few hairs on his head, was wearing round glasses, a cheap floral shirt, grinned, his gums were blood red, but his teeth were rotten and black, and he was chewing betel nuts and holding cigarettes in his teeth.
"My boss values you very much, so he specially invited you to come. Just look at it and you will know--"
After turning around, I walked to a roller shutter door and opened it open. Someone was watching the wind in the corridor inside the house.
Walk in.
suddenly see the light--
A huge pirated video tape processing factory is operating at the gate opening, and people are carrying video tapes from time to time.
Deng Yancheng pushed his glasses and picked up a pirated video tape. Unexpectedly, the production was not bad, but the printing level was still very good.
"Butterfighter on Rainy Night".
"How is it? Isn't it a surprise?" Rotten Teeth grinned, his blood-red gums and a bit of rotten teeth seemed very cunning. "These videos are sold as genuine overseas... Our boss is waiting for you in it. It's hard for him to come here. I specifically introduced you to him. To be honest, he has great strength in the entertainment industry... Do you know Wu Xiaozu?
That big director was once held by my boss... Without my boss, he was nothing..."
"Your boss?" Deng Yancheng was stunned.
"No—that's my boss."
Not far away, a man in a suit and without a tie was walking out of an elevator surrounded by people.
"Cai————————————————————————————”
Rotatant said proudly, "My boss praises you, you can do it! He has a very good sense of B-level movies... Don't worry, it's definitely more discount than what other families give you! Let's take you there-"
Deng Yancheng looked at Boss Cai opposite curiously.
He knew the other party's name...
He is indeed quite famous in the entertainment industry. It seems that many pirated video tape factories that have been found were related to him.
He was also caught up in the storm that happened in Mei Yanfang.
But why did he hear that the other party’s relationship with Wu Xiaozu is a bit stiff???
"Dig for me according to Yilinger II. I don't believe there is a corner that cannot be dug." Cai Zhiming told the people around him.
