Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

After hearing Zhao Donghuai's words, Zhou Runfa's eyes lit up, "Ah Liang? He's actually a pretty good actor."

Wan Ziliang is quite senior now. He has been struggling in the film and television industry for 6 years. He joined TVB last year. He has not acted in any big hit TV series or movies, but he is not bad at it.

Zhou Runfa still had a certain impression of him.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, when Ah Fa wore his hair in a slicked back, how many young actors in Hong Kong could be as good as Ah Fa in terms of aura, temperament and other aspects? Wan Ziliang is definitely one of them.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "By the way, Ah Fa, do you know Johnnie To? I am new to the film and television industry and I don't have many connections. I would like to hire a capable assistant director to help me."

Of course Johnnie To will be a famous director in Hong Kong in the future. Galaxy Image, which he founded, can be regarded as one of the most prominent labels in the Hong Kong film industry, similar to the current flourishing Art City.

But now, that Sir Du is still a blockbuster in the film industry. He began to study with Wang Tianlin in 1974 and learned a lot. In 1980, he was invited by Liu Songren to shoot his first film, Bishui Shui Han Shan.

Inexperienced and self-perceived, I went back to filming TV series.

In 1983, this year, he became the executive director of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the version produced by Wang Tianlin, directed by Sir Du, and starring Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling.

Judging from the popularity of The Condor Shooting, Du Sir is quite accomplished in directing TV series. As for movies... Zhao Donghuai wanted to hire him, not because of Du Sir's current strength. He has the finished product in his mind for every second of the entire New World. Contrast.

All he needs is that the leading actors such as Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang and Lu Liangwei can perform better than the leading actors in the South Korean version. He invited Du Qifeng because he wanted to bring out the team and solve other problems.

He is a newcomer!

If he hadn't met Wu Zhenyu and was able to invite Zhou Runfa through Lao Wu, Fat Zai would be in the period of box-office poisoning. He had become a superstar in the television industry and had no idea about TV series anymore. He only wanted to enter the film industry.

But the film industry has too many box office hits, and fewer people are looking for him...

In addition, the New World script is excellent and powerful enough.

If it weren't for these factors, Zhao Donghuai, an outsider, would have gone to Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, or New Art City to submit scripts. Then the script would have been shelved, or even if someone liked it, it would have been directed by another director, and it would be fair to give him some screenwriting. Fei, he was so evil that he just changed the name of the screenwriter and got into the project!

Don't feel bad.

Just like in the mock exam, Xu Tianliang can still get hacked by casting a Dongfeng Po. In the second model, even if you cast a milk tea wheel in Nocturne, it can be done by Overlord and a trap contract.

Therefore, if you have acquaintances and find the right team, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

It is a trivial matter for a film crew to establish itself and join other film companies or start its own company. In this era, it is easy to set up a film company for hundreds or thousands of dollars, but it is an empty shell and you have nothing but yourself.

Just like the opening scene of the movie King of Comedy, actors, lighting, props, photography, makeup, sound recording, art, costumes, stage management, etc. departments must be prepared.

Let’s break down the production team, including production, finance, logistics, etc. Production includes life production, production production, external relations production, etc.

A mature crew is a company model. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs.

Zhao Donghuai is an outsider who has just joined the industry. Apart from the few in the private room, he doesn’t know anyone else. Taking advantage of others is the best way. If he can use Afa to find Du Qifeng, Du Sir is Wang Tianlin’s disciple, and Director Wang is Shao Daheng’s One of the right-hand men.

All the machinery and equipment required for the entire filming can be rented from Shaw Brothers. After the filming is completed and you want to release it, you can also try to negotiate a release at Shaw Theaters.

How many companies in this era have produced movies but have no theaters to show them? ?

After experiencing several mock exams, Zhao Donghuai also learned some lessons. He felt that one should not be too rigid in life. Of course, there was no need to endure when one's personal dignity was insulted or someone wanted to kill him.

But if it was just money... He knew that Shao Daheng was stingy. If he wanted to borrow something from Shaw Brothers, whether he borrowed machines, people or theaters, he would definitely be paid by Shao Daheng.

But money, for Zhao Donghuai, a person who has traveled through time and space and is a cheater, money is really not that important in the early stages. As long as Boss Shao's asking price is not too shady, he won't care about it.

If he really wanted to make money, he would go north to do business with hundreds of thousands of crowdfunded funds, which would definitely be more profitable than making a movie!

Isn't this because he prefers some things in the film and television industry and entertainment industry?

You said that if you have money, you can be like fan Liu. Liu's operation is much more stable than Brother Dong... Don't make trouble, Zhao Donghuai is not such a low-level person.

His vision has never been limited to Hong Kong Island.

Fa Zai said in surprise, "Sir Du? I know him quite well. The director wants to ask Sir Du for help. I'll talk about it later and give it a try."

He became famous in "Frenzy", directed by Wang Tianlin. At that time, Du Qifeng was still a young apprentice, and Fa Zai was already one of the protagonists of "Frenzy". It was also there that I met my first goddess, and then I was taken advantage of by the fourth brother Lao Xie.

Zhao Donghuai raised his glass, "In this script, the first leader of the Pan Asia Group, Shi Dong, the former leader of Hongxing, annexed Dongxing, Heliansheng, and led the large group to become a super rich and successful entrepreneur. I would like to ask Zeng Jiang to try it."

"Li Zicheng's boss sent you undercover, placed undercover agents to monitor you, forced you not to behave, and forced you to kill the senior inspector. I want to invite Qin Pei."

In the original New World, the former chairman Seok Dong, who was investigated and detained by the police at the beginning and escaped without charge, is definitely a powerful figure in his own right, otherwise he would not be able to unify the South Korean gangs.

But that one died too quickly, and the actor didn't have much heroic aura.

It’s too one-size-fits-all.

If Zeng Jiang were to give it a try, he would probably be able to maintain his majestic aura even if he did not appear much. Needless to say, Qin Pei, who is 38 years old, would be a senior inspector who is both good and evil. It would not be difficult to handle.

In Huang Rihua's version of The Condor Shooting, Qin Pei is still Temujin, while Zeng Jiang is Huang Laoxie.

All of them are from Shaw Brothers. I hope that Boss Shao will be fair after hearing that he wants to form a group to work. Otherwise, Zhao Donghuai will consider hiring everyone except Afa.

This is not because the price issue has failed and we cannot afford to hire Lu Liangwei, Wan Ziliang, and Du Qifeng, but because we are worried that Boss Shao will not be able to hire them because of pressure.

Zhou Runfa laughed and said, "It's easy to say, I can make an appointment and give it a try."

They are all acquaintances.

Zhao Donghuai patted Wu Zhenyu on the shoulder and said, "Old Wu, you should play Shi Hu, Fa Ge's most confidant and the top five double-flower red sticks of the East Star faction that dominates all the societies in Hong Kong. He is actually sent by the police to monitor Fa Ge. The undercover agent was executed by Brother Fa himself."

Wu Zhenyu was ecstatic, "Thank you so much, Brother Huai, thank you so much, Brother Huai, thank you so much."

Under his excited voice of gratitude, Fa Ge was a little confused. In fact, he had already noticed that Xiao Wu was a little afraid of the director, very scared.

It's strange, the director is also a young and handsome guy in his twenties.

Actors are afraid of normal directors, especially actors, but Xiao Wu's fear has long gone beyond that category.

Forget it, he's just a pioneer in a group of films, so don't think too much about it.

"By the way, Ah Fa, you are helping me make an appointment with Huang Xingxiu. I think she can try the role of Li Zicheng's wife, Thirteenth Sister. Moreover, the 79 version of Tie Xinlan, the peerless twin, caused quite a stir."

New World is purely a macho drama, and it doesn’t matter who the two female characters are.

He wanted to use Huang Xingxiu to catch Chen Baixiang.

Pure music "Main The Me" is enough for important themes, but the senior police inspector forced Li Zicheng not to withdraw from the arena and continue to mess with Ding Qing. When Ah Cheng collapsed and despaired, it would be good to play "Infernal Affairs".

Then Ding Qing violently beat up Shi Hu and the female Go teacher, and Li Zicheng rushed to kill them so that they would not suffer so much pain. When they left peacefully, they could also match "Infernal Affairs".

It is not necessary for Liu Tianwang to sing, but Principal Tan can do it. If you catch Chen Baixiang, you may be able to get Tan Yonglin for free.

After filming New World, I'm working on a script for Infernal Affairs 1. I'll give it to Johnnie To to direct and he'll just make money, and the songs can be used a second time.
