Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Time passed, and as the New World midnight screening started getting closer, a figure walked into the theater holding a notebook and pen, found his seat, sat down, and looked at the two figures in front of him in surprise.

"Editor-in-Chief Shu, Chief Editor-in-Chief Chen? Are you two here too? Haha, it seems that Director Zhao, who popped up out of nowhere, is very respectable!"

This figure is Huang Weiming, a reporter and senior film critic from Oriental Daily. The people he is greeting are also celebrities in the Hong Kong film industry, Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng. Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng are well-known in the film industry, not that they have written any good scripts. How many good films have been made?

These two founded the Film Fortnightly and are also the founders of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

This was only 1983, and the Academy Awards had only been held twice, both in March and April each year, and the first one was just so-so.

However, with the current development trend, the Academy Awards are getting better and better. Huang Weiming himself received the invitation and was not very interested in it...

It was because of some rumors that I wanted to come and see what happened.

Rumor has it that he is a young man who is over nineteen years old. Has his hair grown all over? It received an investment of 5 million from Shao Daheng, and provided one-stop support for the film from camera rental to various props, to behind-the-scenes, actors, and theaters.

Does such a person make a movie? Is it a joke, or are you just fooling around with some background and wealth? He comes to watch for fun, and if the movie doesn't work, then don't blame him for lashing out in all directions, making the other person shut up and doubt his life.

Movies are not something you can control with just two dollars.

As for Hong Yinbao and the media, many people have heard this wonderful rumor. The reason? It is true that Zhao Donghuai invested several million to make a movie, and 3 million of it was also borrowed from Boss Shao.

Shaw Brothers' release from One to One Hundred is really a one-stop package.

It is impossible for Zhao Donghuai to explain everywhere where his money comes from, and Shao Yifu will not talk nonsense, but some people will talk nonsense for the sake of face... For example, those on the crew who wanted to cheat money and make a fortune, but later did not dare to cheat because of friendship and harmony.

When outside colleagues tease them about how much money they have made, they dare not say that they don't have the guts to cheat money. How embarrassing it is. They just explain that it is Shao Daheng's full investment and support that prevents them from doing so.

In this case, the face looks good!

Rumor has it that people behind the scenes of Shaw Brothers movies are more afraid of Shaw Brothers than they are of a newbie, right?

When Huang Weiming arrived, he saw two founders of the Academy Awards sitting in front of them, and they were quite chatting.

Under his words, Shu Qi smiled and nodded, "A Ming, you're here too? You're here, of course, it means some people have a lot of face."

Huang Weiming said happily, "I don't think Editor-in-Chief Shu said this. I heard that this director has the full support of Shao Daheng? With such confidence, who is a kid who appears to be under 20 years old?"

"You're just fooling around. Can you make a movie at the age of 20? It's like playing house."

Chen Baisheng also laughed, "Whether it is playing house or not, you will know it at the beginning of the movie. If the filming is not good, not to mention a waste of money, those cane-eating gangs behind..."

After he glanced behind him, Huang Weiming also turned around and looked expectantly.

There are many Cane Biters who really like watching movies.

If the show was not good, it would be that the sugar cane was hitting the back of the chair, and the bagasse in the mouth was sprayed and smashed randomly.

Whether it is in later generations or now, whether a movie is good or bad, publicity is very important, and quality and reputation cannot be ignored. The Cane Biting Gang can be regarded as a unique group of reputation people.

They are similar to those who use pens, but the pens are used in newspapers and magazines, and the Cane Biters tend to do things in reality.

"This New World promotion is okay. I've seen the trailer once or twice on TV. It's quite stylish, like a male model catwalking... Those who didn't know better thought he was filming a commercial or fashion show."

"I hope I won't be hit too hard later!"

Huang Weiming complained again and began to look for traces of the creative team with his eyes. He didn't know Zhao Donghuai, but Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, etc. still knew that they were all celebrities in the television industry.

After finding the approximate location, he looked at the large cinema that was already half full, and Huang Weiming said again, "This is nearly 50% of the occupancy rate? Okay, this is another one taking advantage of the popularity of Shanghai Beach."

"Shao Tycoon is a bit careless. Shaw Brothers took advantage of him twice and even let newcomers take advantage of him. What a waste of Shanghai NuoDa's reputation!"

Chen Baisheng also shook his head helplessly, "Shanghai Tang, such a classic TV series, even Zhou Runfa has fallen. Even if he is a box office poison, he shouldn't waste his accumulated popularity like this!"

As they talked, their moods were still changing, and then they saw the lights in the screening hall go out, and many chaotic sounds were muted.

Chen Baisheng, Shu Qi and Huang Weiming stopped chatting.

No matter how much you didn't think highly of this new director's first work when you came here, it's just started, so it's better to give it a serious look.

When the big screen officially lit up and the familiar "SB" soundtrack and title flashed, Huang Weiming opened his notebook and planned to record the spray points.

Anyway, he firmly believes that young people under 20 years old can make movies? It’s impossible to shoot well, it’s just playing house, having fun, and wasting money, human and material resources.

After "Shaw Brothers' SB title", the title of Zhao Films flashed, and before Huang Weiming had time to complain, he saw the screen darken.

Producer, director, screenwriter, soundtrack, Zhao Donghuai.

Assistant director, Du Qifeng, Cheng Xiaodong and other subtitles are introduced.

Huang Weiming almost burst out of joy again. Shao Daheng spared no effort to promote newcomers, but the assistant director arranged for two... two to fight?

Immediately after the black screen, screams sounded, like someone sobbing and screaming after their mouth was tied with a cloth. After a few screams, Chen Baixiang's miserable, swollen, pig-headed face covered in blood appeared on the screen, followed by an over-the-shoulder shot of handsome The cold star boy.

After a few breaths.

Under the spotlight on the big screen, Ah Fa appeared with his legs crossed.

There were exclamations in the theater.

"Xu Wenqiang!!"

"So beautiful!"

"Xu Wenqiang is so handsome, I like him so much!"

…………

The chaotic noises of both men and women affected many people watching the movie. However, this was the fixed impression that countless viewers had on Chow Yun-fat in 1983. His role as Hui Wenqiang was too classic.

No matter what film he appears in, when the audience sees him, he is Xu Wenqiang...

This is also the biggest limitation on an actor's acting career. What's more, Ah Fa is already good-looking, and his clothes, makeup and styling in the New World show off his tallness and handsomeness too clearly.

Until the opening scene of torture and confession ended, Zhou Runfa calmly stood outside the warehouse holding a cigarette. The camera flashed and showed several boys in suits or white shirts stuffing funnels into Chen Baixiang's mouth and forcefully pouring liquid cement into it.

After pouring it into people's mouths and stomachs, listening to Chen Baixiang's wailing makes people feel chilled, unbearable, and scared. Zhou Runfa remained expressionless.

Chen Baixiang was thrown into a barrel filled with liquid cement, pulled into an elevator and taken away.

Wu Zhenyu came out and nodded slightly to Zhou Runfa, "Everything has been taken care of."

Ah Fa calmly took down the cigarette, with a look of disregard for life, "Let's go."

The next moment the picture flashed, the night turned to dawn, the big ship was riding the wind and waves, and at the pier last week, Runfa stood beside the Mercedes-Benz with his hands in his pockets and looked at the sea. On the sea, one by one, the boys were kicking cement buckets and throwing them into the sea.

The melodious and desolate soundtrack of [Main TheME] sounded.

The crowd that had been exclaiming for Xu Wenqiang before became much quieter all of a sudden. With his handsome, cool, and well-trained skills in extracting confessions, suppressing confessions, and Afa's ruthlessness in trampling on human life and the law, the calmer his expression became. , the stronger the contrast result.

He is handsome and sharp, but the atmosphere at the beginning of the new world is also a bit scary for no reason.

This is 1983, not years after experiencing countless police, action, and crime movies.

When the camera turned again, the TV set next to the shopping mall in the modern metropolis was playing the news that Pan Asia Group Chairman Shi Dong (Zeng Jiang) was acquitted and walked out of the court with a bright smile and a domineering look.

A large number of viewers, including the media and film critics, were somewhat silent.

This beginning is a bit ruthless, a bit penetrating, but also so cool that it makes you feel indescribably weird.

Everyone understands it. At the beginning, when Afa killed someone, was it because he killed the witness and silenced him? Helping the chairman get off the hook... You have seen similar scenes before.

But no film has ever shot this kind of scene in such a beautiful, scream-inducing shot, yet revealing endless ferocity and inhumanity.
