Dreams of the Fragrant River

To make a good movie, a good director and a good actor are essential, but the more important thing is money and time. And these two are precisely what the current Hong Kong films lack.

Take last year's "The Occupation of Hong Kong" as an example, it tells a story that happened when Japanese benzene invaded Hong Kong. The screenwriter wants to portray the little people in the big era, the intertwining of family and country feelings, family and love. If this theme is filmed well, it will be very good, and maybe it will win international awards.

This film was produced by Wang Jing's studio, and Fatty Wang himself served as the screenwriter and producer. To this end, Qiu Yueqing (another time and space is Qiu Shuzhen) and Ye Yuqing were invited to appear, and a group of powerful actors such as Luo Jiaying and Xu Jinjiang joined.

When the film was released, the propaganda slogan was "China's Schindler's List", which really attracted the attention of many people.

However, the filming cost was insufficient, the production time was limited, and director Qian Wenqi's level was relatively rough. In the end, he ruined a great subject and turned it into a nondescript 3. grade film. The most hateful thing is that it was not qualified as a 3. grade film, because there were no exposed scenes, which made the salty and wet people who rushed into the theater yelling.

All the reasons are because of the quick success of the filmmakers. Investors are urging the film to be released as soon as possible to make a profit. The producers and directors regard this as a production task. Anyway, it is enough to make the film, and it does not matter whether the quality is good or not.

Perhaps Wang Jing really wanted to make the movie well, and he even brought his father for an interview, telling the personal experience of the fall of Hong Kong back then, and adding it at the end of the film to add a sense of history to the movie. It's a pity that the investment budget was insufficient, and the shooting time was stuck. Wang Jing is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, so he can only make a **** thing to deal with.

If this "The Occupation of Hong Kong"

The funds are sufficient. If you let MacDangxiong be the director, it will definitely be an excellent Hong Kong film, but there is no if.

Kang Jianfei's greatest convenience in filming is that he has money and enough time. No one dares to say anything if he wants to film for a year.

The production budget of "Resident Evil" is 300 million Hong Kong dollars, of which Tom Cruise's salary is 10 million US dollars, the other actors' salary is less than 5 million US dollars, and the remaining 180 million Hong Kong dollars is practical. On filming.

In such a movie that burns money, in the whole of Hong Kong, except Kang Jianfei, only Cheng Long dares to play like this. Even Xu Kexu can't do it, because the investors have been cautious and dare not throw money at random. Cheng Long's daring to shoot is the confidence brought by the overseas box office.

From April to July, three months have passed, and only two-thirds of the progress of "Resident Evil" has been completed. In addition, preparations have been started since the beginning of December last year, and the time has taken a full half a year, which is unimaginable in today's Hong Kong (the King of Sunglasses said that the pattern was broken).

Cheng Long's new film was planned to be filmed after the Spring Festival, and it was filmed in Japan throughout the whole process. Now the post-production period has been completed, and it will only be available in the summer program in early August.

In comparison, Kang Jianfei's speed was too slow.

The more sluggish he is, the more his colleagues and fans who are concerned about Kang Jianfei are looking forward to this, and everyone knows that he is going to make big news this time.

As the summer season is getting closer, major companies have stepped up their movie promotion efforts. The most concerned is naturally "The Torch" starring Cheng Long and Yuan Yongyi. The second is Zhou Xingchi's "Variety Star". This film is a money-making film made by Yongsheng Film Company. Zhou Xingchi's "God of Cookery" has not yet written the script, and Xiang Huaqiang has been invited to star.

"Variety Star King" is definitely ranked in the top three among the bad films made by Zhou Xingchi. The only contribution of this film is probably to make the newcomer Liang Yongqi succeed.

This summer, Zhou Xingchi will have another "Return to Soul Night" released. This film is produced by Shao Yifu's Metropolis Company. The model imitates "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". The theme is absurd ghost films. It belongs to old wine in new bottles.

"Various Stars" and "Return to the Soul Night" were both filmed by Zhou Xingchi within three and a half months. In less than four months, Zhou Xingchi had no choice but to make two insincere **** works. He had to earn back the money he lost in "Journey to the West". These two plays are invested by others, he only needs to get paid, it is a business that can make a profit without losing money.

There is another movie worth watching in the summer season, that is "The Great Adventurer" directed by Lin Lingdong and starring Andy Lau, Guan Zhilin and Wu Qianlian. This film was also invested by Yongsheng Film Company. Liu Dehua was in a similar situation to Zhou Xingchi. The film he invested in lost a lot of money, and he could only make films for others to fill the gap.

As for the summer films produced by DreamWorks, there are two, one is the literary film "Forty Women" directed by Xu Anhua, and the other is "One Hand Covers the Sky" from the "Young and Dangerous" series, which was scolded by the newspapers.

In addition, there are "Silly Guy", "Savior of the World", "I Want to Live", and "Xianle Piao Piao", which are all petty troubles, although Liang Chaowei, Zhang Aijia, Yuan Yongyi, Aaron Kwok and others starred, But everyone is not very optimistic about the box office.

Especially Liang Chaowei, the current situation is very embarrassing. He stopped making TV series for a long time, and he has decided to die on the road of movies. He has starred in a series of literary and artistic films that have won awards everywhere, and even made a big name in Europe, but in Hong Kong he is a smasher~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The films starring Liang Chaowei in the past two years are better than one. The name of the movie is big, but one is more popular than the other. He has almost become synonymous with box office poison, and his salary is not even as much as Yuan Yongyi.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Huilin, Bai Fumei's star journey is very smooth. As soon as he debuted, he signed a contract with Popular Records, and he was invited to make a movie before he officially released a song. Moreover, he played with Guo Fucheng as the heroine, and envied those second- and third-tier actresses to death.

The funniest thing is that Chen Huilin can also openly say to reporters: "I am the actress in Hong Kong who is least afraid of being discussed unspoken rules."

Because her own father is rich, in the movie "Xianle Piao Piao" she starred in recently, her father invested in it, and he invested specifically for her!

This world is very unfair. People are more mad than people.

In addition to the summer movies, what attracts the attention of all Hong Kong citizens is the annual beauty pageant.

Sister Gang and Sister Asia have just completed the semi-finals, and their respective top 12 beauties have been released. Recently, they have been making frequent appearances on tvb and Phoenix TV.

This year's Hong Kong sister is really lackluster, and Li Jiahui, a mixed-race girl, is more eye-catching, and her overall quality is not as good as last year. Sister Ya's side is slightly better, especially Yang Gongru, the No. 6 contestant, who is considered to be the most beautiful beauty pageant this year.

On August 9, the fourth day after Cheng Long's new film "The Torch" was released, Kang Jianfei stopped the crew in half the afternoon, and he was going to attend this year's Asian sister beauty pageant final. (To be continued.)
