Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Jurassic Theme Park in Tung Chung, Lantau Island.

On the flat grass surrounded by clumps of big trees, a huge Triceratops model was lying there, as if it was sick.

This disease, of course, refers to the sick look created by a special makeup artist.

Zhang Guorong, Naomi Watts, Bruce Willis, Zhou Huimin, Li Jiaxin and others gathered around the triceratops model, all with excited expressions.

"Such a big Triceratops? Is it bigger than an elephant? This is just a Triceratops. I heard that Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurus were much bigger!"

"I think I'm not short, but standing next to a lying Triceratops, I clearly feel how small I am!"

"It had such a huge impact during our filming. I can't imagine what an amazing viewing experience it will be when these are put on the big screen."

…………

Is Triceratops big? Generally, an adult Triceratops is seven to nine meters long. The model that plays the sick Triceratops in Jurassic Park 1 is more than eight meters long, while the African elephant is only 6 to 7.5 meters long.

The African elephant is already among the largest extant terrestrial mammals.

Of course, when it comes to the shoulder height when standing upright, this Triceratops is only 2.6 meters, which is not as good as the African elephant.

While everyone was talking about it, Zhao Donghuai grabbed the speaker and said, "Okay, let's rehearse for a while and wait for a real shot. This real shot is based on the mechanical equipment installed in the model, using electronic control to make the abdominal cavity of the Triceratops breathe up and down, and occasionally Can do leg lifts.”

"There are also small actions such as opening eyes, breathing, etc..."

"Although this is not our only shooting method, there will be green screen, blue screen and super-computer CGI production in the future, but we must try our best to shoot as well as possible!"

A group of people immediately cheered up and stopped staring at the dinosaurs. Instead, they started to move around and rehearse.

The way Jurassic Park was produced, with eight supercomputers capable of one billion operations per second, CGI production was of course the top priority, which would coordinate with the actors' blue-screen and green-screen performances.

But real shots are also essential.

A large model that is a one-to-one replica of a real dinosaur. There are some mechanical devices installed in the body. Pressing the electronic switch makes the model's chest rise and fall so that it can breathe realistically. This is not difficult.

It is similar to ordinary toys in later generations. It has a mechanical structure inside the body and can be wound up to run on its own... How difficult is it? Ordinary toy dogs are not lifelike and look fake compared to real dogs, but that is a matter of production technology and quality.

Don’t forget that Zhao Donghuai spent more than 100 million yuan to have this film made by countless great masters from the Mainland after completing the super-body special effects in April 1985.

Before the Plaza Accord was signed, the more than 100 million yuan you spent was equivalent to the global depreciation of the U.S. dollar to the current 200-300 million yuan.

All dinosaur models, before being covered with realistic skin, not only have ordinary skeletons inside, but also have certain mechanical equipment in various relevant parts.

If you really wanted to make the Triceratops run around, relying solely on its internal mechanical equipment would not be enough. It would still be too rigid and mechanized. You would also need to rely on external mechanical arms for manual operation by professionals to make up for it.

However, several archaeological and biological experts, and the two granddaughters of Guan Shan, the owner of the park, discovered a set of shots of a sick Triceratops. Throughout the shot, the sick Triceratops made small movements, with its chest rising and falling, raising its legs slightly, and shaking slightly. Head, opening and closing eyes, including flicking the tip of the tongue.

These actions do not require external mechanical arms to assist operations.

This part of the model was actually shot. After rehearsing the positioning and shooting, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Click, next one!"

I distributed the script to everyone in early August, and it was already late October. In more than two months, whether it was Zhang Guorong, Bruce Willis or Naomi Watts, their acting skills were really up to par. What they did There is still enough homework.

I made one or two mistakes when rehearsing without turning on the camera, but after rehearsing three times, it was all right when I started filming.

next……

When the crew came to several large piles of animal excrement props, including one that was taller than the genius mathematician played by Bruce Willis, even though everyone knew it was fake.

The props were decorated like that. In fact, they didn’t smell bad and weren’t too dirty. Naomi Watts couldn’t help but screamed, “Oh my God, this is too exaggerated. I feel You can bury me easily."

The female botanist she plays is trying to analyze the causes of the disease through the plants that the Triceratops eats and by observing its excrement.

Before putting on the plastic arm gloves, Naomi looked like she was facing an enemy.

Of course, there is no need to use supercomputer to create CGI special effects when filming these scenes where Cha Mi Tian and his colleagues are searching for the cause of the disease. It is just real shooting, and it is the most simple and ordinary literary drama.

After filming the scene about the Triceratops disease dragon during the day, Zhao Donghuai signaled the staff to transport the large model of the Triceratops and store it in the warehouse.

In a coherent plot, the scene of investigating the condition of the Triceratops will be linked to the storm coming, heavy rain amidst lightning and thunder, waves crashing on the island, etc. At night, there will also be two or five operators from Jurassic Park, Go steal the company's dinosaur genes and run out to sell them for money.

It can be said that there will be big dramas in the future.

But we won’t shoot those things today… First, we’ll shoot the relevant scenes of the drama, the action scene on the rainy night, the Tyrannosaurus attack, Zhou Huimin and Li Jiaxin in danger, those are all planned for a few days later.

Similarly, the scene where Amin and Li Jiaxin were in danger was shot in two ways. One was to manually control the Tyrannosaurus rex model to do some simple actions with the help of a mechanical arm from the outside.

The other is to use a blue screen, without physical performances by Amin and Li Jiaxin, and then use supercomputer CGI to create a scene where the Tyrannosaurus rex destroys the car and almost kills Li Jiaxin.

Night scenes also require artificial rainfall to create an atmosphere. In that environment, a robotic arm with a relatively concealed color is used to control the action of multiple people to push the Tyrannosaurus rex into action, making it less likely to get sidetracked.

In the end, it all depends on which version is better, whether to choose the real-life version that will be cut into the movie or the CGI shots made with super computers.

For some scenes that are too dangerous, there is no need to use a combination of models and robotic arms to shoot them. This is directly shot using supercomputer CGI technology. For example, the car that Zhang Guorong, Zhou Huimin, and Li Jiaxin were riding in fell off a cliff...

Including people falling off cliffs, even if there were real shots, it would have to be a stand-in.

Fortunately, Zhao Films has strong appeal, and the most important thing is extras and supporting actors who want to dedicate themselves to art.

In the original version, a male doctor and a pair of grandsons of the owner of the garden escaped from being chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex. After descending from the cliff, they climbed up a very large and exaggerated towering tree. The three of them nestled in the branches of the tree and hugged each other for a sleep. I encountered a Brachiosaurus eating leaves early in the morning.

This version of the chase scene can be produced, and then the three people will be awakened by the brachiosaurus while sleeping on three different tree branches.

The original version was to express the theme of adults protecting children. Everyone here is basically an adult and does not need those themes.

After the day's shooting, when evening came, the crew returned to Tsim Sha Tsui on several yachts.

Of course, if you feel too tired and don’t want to run around, you can live in Tung Chung. It has been nearly three months of construction of the Tung Chung (Jurassic Park) theme community, and so far, let alone the one-, two-, and three-story buildings in the park. It is formed and can be inhabited.

Outside the park, some first-floor vacation villas facing the sea, including those with their own swimming pools, have been completed and renovated. As for the Baijia 24-hour convenience store chain on the first floor, there are also several 24-hour convenience stores.

Only the Wanjia General Merchant Supermarket in Tung Chung is still under construction, with two floors underground and five floors above ground.

The reason is naturally that there are many people and sufficient team strength.

Zhao Donghuai and Amin returned to Tsim Sha Tsui, and actors such as Zhang Guorong, Naomi Watts and Bruce Willis lived in Tung Chung.

Facing the sea breeze on the deck and looking at the direction of Dongchong that was getting farther and farther away, Amin couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Huai, we are building a theme community by ourselves without relying on official planning. Everything is almost done from scratch." It feels a little weird to come from nothing.”

Zhao Donghuai laughed dumbly, "Do you feel a subtle sense of accomplishment?"

The entire Tung Chung theme park and the new community planning are all under the banner of Amin's Chinese Land and are projects of Chinese Land... The reason is that it will help push up the stock price in the future.

Zhou Huimin smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is quite different from achieving success in the music and film circles. I heard that in more than a dozen villages near Tung Chung, many young people who went to Hong Kong and Kowloon to work have returned... …”

"We plan to plan Tung Chung community life in the future, mainly targeting Wanjia and Baijia branches."

There are more than a dozen villages, no matter how small they are, but they still have a population of at least three to four thousand people. However, if this population is to work, let alone Baijiasurname and Wanjia, they can be absorbed by other theme parks as employees, hotels, restaurants, etc. , full absorption is not a big deal.

Not to mention the Tung Chung area. As the area develops more and more prosperously, many people from neighboring Tai O, Mui Wo and South Lantau will choose to leave Hong Kong and Kowloon to develop in Tung Chung.

There are more than 30 villages in Tai O, Mui Wo, and Lantau South. These are also areas on Lantau Island.

………………

More than an hour later.

Zhao Donghuai had just walked into the lobby on the first floor of Zhao's Financial Building when he saw Mai Xunxiong and Li Dawei, who were sitting in the reception area, walking over together and saying hello with a smile from a distance.

Zhao Donghuai asked Amin to give up the floor first and said with a smile, "What, Ah Xiong, do you have a new project?"

After the filming of "Lame Hero" was completed last year, the box office exploded, and Yongsheng of the Xiang family was attracted to start filming (The Legend of Five Billion Inspector Lei Luo). At this stage, Ah Xiong is no longer finished filming (Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier 1) After that, things were going crazy.

Countless film and television actors avoided the projects he prepared, and even wanted to hide on the road and beat him with a sack on Ah Xiong.

After hearing these words, Mai Xunxiong nodded immediately, "That's right, Zhao Sheng, Yongsheng wanted to ask me to direct a gang movie a while ago, but I always felt that it was boring to keep filming, so I just wanted to save a good idea myself."

"Now that I have an idea for a biopic, I think it's quite promising, but..."

"Even I am not qualified to visit the prototype tycoon of the biopic. I would like to ask Zhao Sheng for advice to see if there is any way?"

Zhao Donghuai said in surprise, "Who?"

Mai Xunxiong took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to him with both hands. Zhao Donghuai took it and read it, "The Biography of Wang Kuancheng". He really didn't remember it...

After a while, sitting in the big office, he flipped through the script and read it all the way. This really opened Zhao Donghuai's eyes. He had no impression of the name Wang Kuancheng before traveling through time.

I don’t know what the other party’s deeds are.

But now after reading the script, I realized what a great actor this was. Wang Sheng was born in 1907, and he will be 80 this year in 1986.

He developed in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai in his early years and was of the same generation as Shao Yifu.

One of his most outstanding achievements in business was when Hong Kong Island fell during the Anti-Japanese War. The island country’s military announced the abandonment of the Hong Kong dollar and implemented the island country’s ghost military stamps. At that time, the entire Hong Kong basically regarded the Hong Kong dollar as waste paper, but Wang Sheng was optimistic about the prospects of the Anti-Japanese War and felt that Will definitely win.

While most people paid no attention to the abandoned Hong Kong dollars, he was buying up Hong Kong dollars.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the British took over Hong Kong Island again. The Hong Kong dollars in stock were not enough. It was announced that the Hong Kong dollars during the occupation period could still be circulated and used. This Wang Sheng directly took hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars and rose up. He directly joined HSBC and became one of the directors.

At that time, HSBC didn't have as much money as Wang Sheng. If you wanted to print money, you had to wait for new machines and various materials to arrive. After all, after many years of war, it was not just Hong Kong Island that had been destroyed.

Britain at that time was also in ruins.

The hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in 1945 were a far cry from the 500 million that Inspector Lei Luo earned 20 years later.

In 1945, Wang Kuancheng was only 38 years old, and he was considered to be in the prime of life.

The second battle of this Wang's business war was when all the forces fled from the mainland, people in Hong Kong Island were floating, and the Hong Kong dollar depreciated significantly. He once again went crazy for bargain hunting and made huge profits.

Around the 1950s, a large number of tycoons like To Yuesheng came to Hong Kong from the mainland. Wang was the first to acquire land and build high-rise buildings in Hong Kong.

Providing residences for the large amount of capital and landowners coming from the mainland made them rich again.

As for such a Wang Sheng, why is it a bit unremarkable to make a statement in later generations? That's because his patriotic acts have always been suppressed at different stages. For example, during the Peninsula War in the 1950s, countless people knew that Huo Sheng had made great efforts.

Mr. Wang has not been idle either, donating planes and materials, inspiring more wealthy people to respond.

From the 1950s to the present, donations to various schools, education funds, welfare funds, etc. in the mainland are not small.

He gradually became more transparent from HSBC and was no longer the super tycoon who joined HSBC in 1945 with a high profile.

For example, last year in 1985, Mr. Wang spent US$100 million to establish an education fund. The US$100 million in 1985 was used to fund college students from mainland China and Hong Kong to study in Europe and the United States.

This is a study abroad fund.

It is considered a loan model of student aid. On the surface, it is used to finance students to study abroad by loaning you a loan. However, if you successfully study abroad and return to China to build a home, then the student aid accumulated over several years, regardless of principal or interest, will It can be significantly reduced or even completely free of principal and interest.

But after you finish studying abroad with the help of your student funds, you will stay in Europe and the United States without returning home... Then the student funds and interest will be doubled from you.

After reading it, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but sigh, "Such Wang is indeed worthy of admiration, but I'm a little curious. Last year, 100 million U.S. dollars were used as student aid in 1985. Why haven't I heard such big news? ?”

Wang Sheng's deeds in the 1940s and 1950s were so long ago that Zhao Donghuai had never heard of them, so let's forget it. The $100 million student aid fund that happened last year? How is it possible that there is no movement on Hong Kong Island?

Mai Xunxiong immediately smiled brightly, "That's right. There are optimizations, beautifications, and enhancements in the script. In fact, the official operation mode of Wang Sheng's student aid fund is that US$100 million is used as the principal and is placed in the bank."

"Every year, we only use this US$100 million in interest to support top students from across China to study abroad."

"Only the interest is not an amazing figure, and last year the number of study abroad places was 50 people..."

Zhao Donghuai suddenly realized, "Then the previous deeds were also processed?"

Mak Xunxiong shook his head, "During the Anti-Japanese War, collecting waste Hong Kong dollars, and bringing hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to HSBC as a shareholder in 1945 are all true. However, starting from the Peninsula War, he donated airplanes and various supplies... This old Mr. Wang gradually became like Huo Sheng kept a low profile like that."

"I also learned about Lao Wangsheng's deeds from the newspaper about the student aid fund last year, and then I felt that if this biopic could be filmed, it would be much higher than Lei Luo and Lu Yuesheng. Grade.”

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's put the script here for now. I will discuss it with Shao Sheng in two days and visit Wang Sheng. There is still hope of making this kind of biopic."

The legendary life of Lao Wangsheng is really more meaningful when photographed than "The Lame Man", "The Love of Rivers and Lakes", or "The Emperor of Shanghai".

Besides, the original track directed by Wang Jing (Casino Tycoon: The Legend of the New Brother) also involved the Anti-Japanese War and the fall of Hong Kong Island, reflecting the two people Ho Gambling and Fok Daheng, but in that movie, Ho Gambling was beautified. It's too exaggerated.

It’s clear why you should praise someone but not others.

Do you think there is no biopic like Wang Sheng in the original track? Isn't that still... the Hong Kong side is suppressing it, and Lao Mai has no right to refuse Xiang Laoshi and Xiang Shisan's Everlasting contract?

Therefore, Mak Hung-hsiung, including his apprentice Li Dawei who is now with him, can only make movies that glorify society bosses, such as The Legend of Jianghu, The Lame Man, The Five-Year-Old Detective, The Emperor of Shanghai, etc.

These piles of movies that glorify the big brother of the society are almost all produced by society capitals such as Xinji and Lianle. At most, they cooperate with theaters such as Golden Harvest and Golden Princess when they are released in theaters.

Without the real influence of Zhao Donghuai to fix bugs, even if Lao Mai made the film (The Biography of Wang Kuancheng), it would not be released in theaters before the return, and it would not be released in Hong Kong Haowan.

But with the strength of people like Mak Hsiung and Li Dawei, if they really get the rights to shoot a biopic and can start working on it and shoot it well, what they will produce will definitely not be better than (The Legend of Five Billion Inspector Lei Luo) or ( The Emperor of Shanghai (Shanghai Emperor) is poor over the years.

Li Dawei was the assistant director of the original Lei Luo two-part film, and was also Mak's beloved disciple.

Another example is Lao Mai's peak work (Black Gold). Even if it is dragged down by Hua Zai's acting in the original version, it is still a classic that is difficult to avoid.

This script is really copied from Lao Wangsheng's life experience, and it is a super successful movie script.

………………

On October 26, when Zhao Donghuai, Shao Yifu, Mai Xunxiong and others walked out of a hospital in Beijing.

Shao Daheng frowned and sighed, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. In June, we also said we would celebrate Wang Sheng's 80th birthday. He didn't find it troublesome and just said that we wouldn't do it in 80, but we will do it in 90..."

"It's best to wait until 97 to celebrate your birthday."

"In August, he also led a team to inspect the northwestern provinces in the mainland, hoping to play a certain role in helping those places promote development..."

"Why is it cancer..."

The night before yesterday, Mai Xunxiong came up with a script idea, and Zhao Donghuai wanted to contact Shao Yifu to visit him, but then he learned that Lao Wangsheng was hospitalized with liver cancer.

In August, he traveled to the northwest of the mainland for more than 20 days. In September, he returned to Hong Kong and stopped for a few days before flying to Shanghai to work on the education fund. He felt unwell at a reception dinner for a super boss. After a checkup, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.

Then he was sent to the capital for treatment, which continues to this day, and his condition is not good.

When Zhao Donghuai and others came to visit, what was the old gentleman's state? ?

You know how to deal with late-stage cancer, let alone 80 years old?

During the visit, when asked about Zhao Donghuai's desire to make a biopic of Zhao Donghuai, the old man waved his hands in embarrassment, but it was Shao Yifu who said a lot of good things that made him reluctantly agree.

Of course, Shao Yifu actually doesn't have that much face. It was the old man who was embarrassed and felt that filming his biography was too flashy. But Zhao Donghuai himself really has a lot of face. For people like Wang Sheng, he really appreciates people like Zhao Sheng. .

However, he still didn't want the movie to use his real name (The Biography of Wang Kuancheng), but instead named it after his former pseudonym (Wang Wenxia).

Pseudonyms or pseudonyms were commonplace in the Republic of China.

According to their place of birth, Wang Kuancheng and Shao Yifu are both from Ning City, Zhejiang Province, but in terms of status in Hong Kong, Wang Sheng became a dominant player in Hong Kong Island in 1945 and became a shareholder of HSBC. Shao Yifu can be regarded as a descendant who came to Hong Kong. Shaw Brothers Pictures is in Hong Kong. The initial development was brought about by the second brother Shao Yifu.

After frowning and sighing, Shao Yifu wiped his glasses and said, "Actually, when I wanted to build a school in the Mainland, I still learned from Wang Sheng. In the 1950s, he donated airplanes and materials to the Mainland, subscribed for public bonds first, etc. In the 1960s, he returned to the Mainland to donate schools... …”

"However, the school in the 1960s did not use his name. It only built a Kuancheng Building last year, instead of going directly to Yifu Building like me."

Zhao Donghuai was also a little emotional. For a moment, he could only stare at Mai Xunxiong, "The more I know about the old man's deeds, the more respectable he becomes. If you make a good movie, you won't be afraid of insufficient funds..."

"If the war scene requires big scenes, we can shoot in the mainland."

In this era, if you want to shoot big scenes, the mainland really has the best and strongest options.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Sheng grew up in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai. He started working as an apprentice after graduating from elementary school. He relied on his shrewdness and talent to become the purchasing director of a large flour mill and a company manager, similar to CEO. He constantly led the company to open branches and was highly regarded by the big boss of the flour mill. trust.

In addition to serious flour mills, they opened trading companies to engage in canned food, woolen fabrics, lumber and other businesses, as well as real estate, ships, and clock factories.

From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they rushed to subscribe for public bonds, to the rush to buy public bonds in the 1950s, and so on.

After the fall of Shanghai, they moved to mountain cities and developed Hong Kong Island. They have always followed an upright approach. They are not at the same level as the three Shanghai tycoons who made their fortunes from opium.

Such a legendary tycoon, let alone (Emperor of Shanghai) (Lame Hao) (Lei Luo), is a million miles away from him, biographical movies such as (Ip Man) can't even compare.

The Huang Feihong series is different. Xu Ke’s version of the Huang Feihong series is indeed different in nature.

Mak Xuexiong nodded excitedly, "I will definitely make this one (The Biography of Wang Wenxia) well. As long as the actors' acting skills can keep up, and the script prototypes are so exciting and jaw-dropping, I feel that a Wang Wenxia movie can also be expanded into a two-episode format." ?”

Zhao Sheng said that he didn't care about the crew's financial problems at all, as long as he worked hard and made a good film.

Whether it is the two Hong Kong dollar wars that broke out in the rise of Wang Sheng, it can be filmed well. After Wang Sheng graduated from elementary school, he joined a paper mill and a flour mill as an apprentice, and gradually rose to become a director, manager and CEO, and then finally exploded in the industry in his early life. I can take more photos.

Ningshi, Shanghai Development, Shancheng, Hong Kong Island Development...

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "I will call the relevant parties. You try to shoot as quickly as possible, but try your best. It depends on the situation."

When cancer is in its advanced stages, everyone can see it.

Wang Sheng, two descendants of those who studied abroad in Massachusetts, hurriedly returned to the capital to visit the doctor. The old gentleman told them to go back quickly and not to delay their studies.

His original words were, "When I live to be 80 years old, I have nothing to care about except making more contributions to the country and the nation."

Zhao Donghuai was not sure whether the old gentleman could last until the movie was finished and released.

Shao Yifu once again lamented, "Compared to Huo Sheng, Li Ka-shing, Wang Dehui and even Guo Bingxiang, Wang Sheng is indeed very low-key and not well-known. However, his influence in the mainland is probably stronger than Huo Sheng."

"That was in 1949, when I stood with Mr. Szeto of North America. What level was I at that time? I was just an ordinary filmmaker."

Lao Shao had to sit on the fence to get where he is today. He is not as strong as Wang Sheng and Huo Sheng. I won’t say more about Huo Sheng’s cards. Wang Sheng is hospitalized here...

After staying in the hospital for a while, the visiting list can scare countless people. There are almost all the names you can think of.

When Zhao Donghuai walked to the car outside the hospital, he spoke again, "Let's use Tony Leung as the actor. It's available in Hong Kong. If you want to shoot as soon as possible, whether it's San Mao, A Ying or Hua Zai, you can make an appointment at will."

"This version of the movie may not be perfect, but let's try it out first. We can make a big biographical TV series in the future!"

Mai Xunxiong nodded, "Understood."

If all the talents in the Hong Kong film industry come together, there is no hope that a wonderful movie can be produced in a month. At worst, they can work 24 hours a day, just find a few more assistant directors and divide them into different groups to shoot.

Other movie projects, including the Jurassic Park crew, can be suspended for a period of time. This is not to flatter anyone. With Zhao Donghuai's current situation, there is no need for it.

He just watched and learned about the old man's life experience, and he sincerely respects such a person. Besides, Jurassic Park has a production cycle of two to three years. Counting from April 1985, the model props, including special effects CGI technology, have been in preparation for 18 months. .

From the special effects to the final product, it was all from the 1987 summer or Lunar New Year releases.

The main actors were suspended for dozens of days, with little impact.

………………

The evening of October 26th.

Liang Jiahui was playing backgammon with a beautiful girl in the thousand-foot mansion he bought in Kowloon Tong. After fighting and fighting, he was finally about to lose. Ah Fai slapped his leg regretfully, disrupting the chessboard and said, "No more playing, no more playing."

"Jianian, you took advantage of my poor energy to sneak up on me!"

Jiang Jianian looked dumbfounded, "No more fun, I'm going to cook. Who would have thought that a big star like you would be so mean?"

In the original track, in 1983, Ah Fai finished filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and was banned by Wan. He was so depressed that he wanted to set up a street stall in Causeway Bay. It was Jiang Jianian who was a producer at Hong Kong Radio Station who heard his story and admired him very much. He took the initiative to offer him a job. .

This way we get to know each other and walk together.

This plane... Even after the Spring Festival in 1984, Zhao Donghuai invited Ah Hui to participate in the Black Man script. The ban period was far less long, but Ah Hui still experienced a few months of ban.

It didn't affect Jiang Jianian's acquaintance with him.

Ah Hui is indeed a big star now. Let’s not talk about the burning of the Old Summer Palace, but let’s talk about the (speed of life and death) male lead and the (never compromise) male lead.

This is a new star that is taking the world by storm.

Relying solely on his salary and delivery income, Ah Hui is already a multi-millionaire, and buying a house is just a basic thing.

It's just that in the original trajectory, he was poor and had no money to go shopping, so he and Jiang Jianian often played chess at home for entertainment. At this stage, big stars are easily blocked when going out.

When Ah Hui was enjoying himself and wanted to relax, there was a knock on the door. When he went to open the door, he found that it was Li Dawei. Ah Hui was surprised and said, "Brother Dawei? You are here so late. Come in quickly."

Lai Dawei is Mak Yuen-hung's apprentice, but he directed "Pretty Girl" in 1982 and was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director.

Li Dawei entered the room with a smile and took out a bunch of scripts from his briefcase, "My master, Brother Xiong, has thought of a good script, and Zhao Sheng is also very optimistic about it. The protagonist is you. I heard that you like to write biographies of characters when filming."

"Haha, this script doesn't require you to write a biography. With your rich experience in biopics, you can just perform to your heart's content after watching it."

"Zhao Sheng hopes to get it done as soon as possible within a month. Zhao and even Zhao's subsidiaries, including going outside to recruit people from Jiahe and Princess Jin, can speed up the process."

On the 23rd, Zhao Donghuai learned about the source of the book and prototype of (The Biography of Wang Wenxia). Although he just visited Wang Sheng today to obtain the filming rights, Mai Xunxiong and Li Dawei have not been idle in the past few days, visiting some of Wang Sheng's Relatives and friends.

It can still be done by learning more about that person’s deeds.

The script he took out, including the protagonist's script, was a thick stack of paper, dated 1986. Zhao's office was fully computerized, and typing and printing were very fast.

If one typist can't do it, we need a bunch of more.

Leung Ka-fai was overjoyed, "There is a new movie that will benefit me...I am just bored after filming Underworld."

In June, Johnnie To started filming the film "Underworld", in which Big D died tragically in the shadow of Ah Le fishing. His role has been completed long ago, but the crew of "Underworld" has not finished filming, and F4's acting skills are still being polished.

It has been more than 4 months now.

When he was surprised, he picked up the script and watched it. The more he read, the more excited he became. He couldn't stop talking about all kinds of shock and praise. Wang Sheng's life biography was really exciting.

More than an hour later, after hurriedly reading the script, Liang Jiahui patted his aching thigh and said, "I can act. It's an honor for me to be used in such a blockbuster. I really want to find a chance to visit Mr. Wang."

"Unless I read the script, I didn't know there was a tycoon like Wang Sheng in Hong Kong."

Li Dawei smiled and shook his head, "There is no need to visit or anything for the time being. You just need to perform well and try to finish it within a month."

Liang Jiahui nodded, "I can give it a try, as long as... forget it, we can definitely do it."

This kind of biopic has no shortage of big scenes, such as the fall of Shanghai, the development of the mountain city base, the fall of Hong Kong Island, etc.

But if the mainland viewfinder supports it, the shooting will not be slow.

For the rest, as long as the actors give wonderful performances and a group of acting talents come together, it's really not too difficult.

The famous "Welcome Night Banquet" starred one to two hundred stars, and it only took four days to shoot.

The film took 13 days to shoot, and the box office of the original track was 48.99 million.

In terms of speed and efficiency in the Hong Kong film industry, Fatty King is not the only representative of fast shooters.
