Hong Kong Stubborn

After the heroine was identified in "Ransom Storm", the actor who played the role of the villain in the film, Jin Zhehe also found a suitable candidate.

Lu Liangwei, who has just terminated his contract with TVB, has gradually been marginalized by wireless in the past two years and is about to move to the big screen. "Ransom Storm" happens to be an extremely rare opportunity for Lu Liangwei. The entertainment industry is almost out of food. Can you still care about offending some bigwigs?

In the film, the actor's son doesn't need to have any acting skills. Luo Junyan picked a 9-year-old boy named Huang Zongze from school this time, who looks very handsome.

Supporting actors with more roles include the Inspector of the Crime Squad in charge of the kidnapping case and the actor behind the kidnapping gang. The person behind the scenes is the newcomer Lin Xue recommended by Du Qifeng. It seems that Luo Junyan's kowtow to Wang Tianlin is still effective, at least there are people in the circle who contact him privately.

No one can control the selection of small supporting actors and long sleeves. It is impossible for various entertainment companies to raise so many actors. It is not difficult to spend money to hire people. As long as the protagonist and the main supporting role are determined, it will basically not affect the shooting.

Zheng Haonan has been tepid since he starred in "Sword Horse Dan". Now Xinyicheng is in the state of herding sheep, and he is not an independent person himself, so Bai Anni came to audition after a little persuasion. It is said that Zheng Haonan is dating Bo Anni, Luo Junyan doesn't care about this, so he signs the contract if he finds it suitable for the audition.

Lin Xue is currently doing behind-the-scenes drama and has gone through a few tricks. Du Qifeng is more optimistic about him. He once gave Lin Xue a small supporting role without a line. This time he hopes to make his official debut through Luo Junyan's film. After Lin Xue's audition, Luo Junyan felt that he had a talent for drills and was very suitable for the role in the film, so he signed a contract with him.

On May 20th, Hu Xin, who was sent to France to fill the number, won the Jury Prize second only to the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Although "This Killer Is Not So Cold" was awarded a tie with "Tillay" and "Dead Brambles", this award is enough to shake Xiangjiang and even the Asian Chinese society. Newspapers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and all over Southeast Asia are interpreting the significance of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" winning the Cannes Jury Prize.

Luo Junyan didn't take it too seriously, the film had been released, and winning the prize could not increase the box office. If you give him a Cannes actor, Luo Junyan will wake up with a dream and smile. In short, he is very busy now and has no time to pay attention to the award.

On May 22, "Ransom Storm" was officially launched, and the production cost of the entire film was estimated at 2 million Hong Kong dollars. This budget includes the actors' remuneration. According to current standards, it is absolutely low-cost production.

Snowman Century Entertainment, a small independent production company, cannot be compared with those large-scale film companies. The actors and crew members are their own employees, and the actors' pay and crew labor are very low.

This year, the production cost of "Comic Manga" produced by Jiahe Investment was only 2 million Hong Kong dollars, but that was already considered as a regular production cost. The crew members were all their own employees.

In this film, Luo Junyan looks a little older and looks more than 30 years old.

Kwong Meiyun's dress is absolutely stunning, she is a beautiful woman with a temperament married into a wealthy family. When she first appeared, Lu Liangwei looked straight, and a flame of desire ignited in his heart.

This time, Luo Junyan didn't play mystery when switching between shots. Instead, he used the tracked shots to show the character's mental state, and outlined the nervous emotions through detailed depictions of eyes, expressions, movements, and language.

So the film is not wonderful, it all depends on the acting skills of Luo Junyan, Kuang Meiyun, Lu Liangwei and Lin Xue.

Luo Junyan believes that the plot of "Ransom Storm" is a foil for the actors. In terms of narration, you only need to control the rhythm. The tense atmosphere is completely driven by the performance of the actors, which is a bit similar to a stage play.

In the first scene in the square, the hero and heroine brought their son to participate in the airplane model competition. Because the hero is the sponsor of the competition, for the sake of fairness, their son cannot participate in the competition.

As a result, when the child was lost, he went to find the fallen airplane model and was kidnapped by the kidnapper played by Xue Lin.

Lin Xue acted quite brilliantly. Although this scene only had a short appearance time, he showed that nervous, vigilant and unscrupulous feeling quite well. Luo Junyan felt that he had picked up the treasure this time, and excellent film actors would use the shortest time to engrave the impression of the role in the minds of the audience.

Subsequently, the plot entered the stage where the kidnappers extorted ransom. Through the encounter between the role played by Lu Liangwei and the role played by Lin Xue in a bar, he was followed to the home where he hid the children.

The police officer played by Lu Liangwei emerges, and he is the real mastermind in the kidnapping case.

At the same time, the actor told the inspector, played by Zheng Haonan, that he had bribed the congressman. The congressman went to jail, and he dismissed the relationship, so he suspected that it was the retaliatory action of the congressman.

Luo Junyan felt that the cast made up this time was beyond his expectation. Everyone's performance was absolutely wonderful, and his acting skills couldn't be faulted. They were superb.

Especially Kwong Meiyun, who has never played any role, can actually express the emotions in her heart completely. When facing Luo Junyan, it was like facing her husband, acting relaxed and natural.

The most rare thing is that Huang Zongze, who was picked out at random, has a very high understanding, as long as he is allowed to make a single emotion, he will definitely not be NG. Luo Junyan feels that this child is destined to enter the showbiz in the future. He is too good at controlling his expression, and it is estimated that he will be a good hand at hooking girls in the future.

The actor's show on TV that he offered a reward of 2 million Hong Kong dollars to catch the kidnappers was filmed on ATV. Because of the investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Qiu Degen will soon sell his shares in ATV, and finally gave Luo Junyan a favor and let him use the live broadcast room for free.

This filming is free everywhere, it's a real life.

With good luck and excellent state of the actor, Luo Junyan's shooting speed is extremely fast, and the shooting progress keeps breaking new records. Fast doesn't mean shoddy, Luo Junyan is not a novice director when shooting Young and Dangerous. At this time, fast means smoothness, which means one-stop effect.

On June 7, Luo Junyan announced that "Ransom Storm" was completed. The shooting took only 17 days in total, which shortened the time by 11 days according to the estimated 28-day shooting cycle.

During the filming, sister army would come to the crew to visit the crew every evening, and she and Kwong Meiyun got along more and more harmoniously.

Sister Army's social skills this time can be called a classic. When "Ransom Storm" was finished, the two women almost talked about everything. And sister army also specially invited Kwong Meiyun to stay at home for a few nights, and drove Luo Junyan back to her father's house.

Sister Army and Kwong Meiyun actually have a similar side. They are both business-minded and assertive women. They have similar views on career, love, dressing, and communication concepts, and they share many common topics.

Otherwise, Luo Junyan would not have a special affection for Kuang Meiyun. This is a kind of love for the house and the black, and certain commonalities in personality can be faintly felt.

The post-production of "Ransom Storm" takes about half a month. Luo Junyan now does not need to light up the lamp and boil the oil to grab the time, but can do a little more detailed.

Cheng's theme song for "Ransom Storm" is "Only Love Is Forever" by Luo Junyan and Kwong Meiyun. Luo Junyan feels that Cheng's purpose is purely to stimulate Wang Dehui's family.

In fact, this is not the case, because Kwong Meiyun sang only this song. It was after he heard Jacky Cheung and Kwong Meiyun sing that he felt good before he learned it, and he couldn't hum other songs.

Kwong Meiyun didn't know the lyrics and music were hummed by Brother Cheng. After reading the lyrics for "Only Love Forever", it was a joy to see. Luo Junyan's slightly hoarse voice is more vicissitudes of life and deep, and he sings this song with Kuang Meiyun, and immediately turns his artistic conception into sorrow and sadness. This is the first song that Kuang Meiyun sings to cry.

After recording the theme song, Luo Junyan gave the copyright of "Only Love Forever" to Kuang Meiyun.

Kwong Meiyun needs to rush back to Shenzhen to prepare for the concert, and she must go all out for the first concert in mainland China. She really didn't know how to face Luo Junyan, especially after she became best friends with sister army, then try to stay away from him first.

Sister Army really didn't have any hostility towards Kuang Meiyun, but she must have used some scheming.

She was not afraid that her husband would be snatched by Kuang Meiyun, but because she was worried that Luo Junyan was not cautious enough to get along with Kuang Meiyun. That kind of unobstructed and evasive communication method will only make Kuang Meiyun fall more thoroughly. Luo Junyan will definitely not have excessive thoughts, but in the end it will hurt the innocent feelings between each other.

Luo Junyan focused on the post-production of "Ransom Storm". While sister army stepped up the construction of the theater, she put the property of the marriage room for two people on the market at a high price of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. It’s hard to say that Army sister strongly requested the sale of the property that Kwong Meiyun bought for Luo Junyan, just for the safety of her children.

At the same time, she asked Kwong Meiyun to help and introduced her to several suitable high-end new properties. I have seen various real estates seven or eighty-eight, and finally the army sister chose Yangming Villa, which is adjacent to Datan Country Park.

Yangming Mountain Villa was built in 1989, and its landscape design is second to none in Xiangjiang. Although not all construction has been completed yet, all kinds of living and entertainment facilities are already complete.

At the same time, the villa provides apartment owners with the butler service of a five-star hotel, and the most important point is that it only takes ten minutes to drive from Yangming Villa to Central and Wanchai.

Housing prices in Xiangjiang continued to rise this year. Although Luo Junyan’s old properties were sold at a slightly higher price, they were all sold in June. Luo Junyan and his wife returned a total of 56 million Hong Kong dollars.

Subsequently, the army sister helped introduce acquaintances through Kwong Meiyun, and purchased a 3,273-foot duplex apartment on the 36th floor of Yangming Villa at a special discounted price of 18.8 million Hong Kong dollars for the stars. The entire apartment is hard-decorated, with a total of 8 rooms and an interior area of ​​more than 300 square meters. The real estate company has also given 2 parking spaces.

The remaining 37 million in cash from the sale of old properties must be reserved for use at any time for the turnover of theater construction.

There are currently 6 cinemas under construction by Xueguo Films. Except for the one owned by the Snowman Times Building, the other 5 prosperous commercial district properties are long-term leased by Liu Luanxiong, and the annual rent is more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, only less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars of Snow Country’s 150 million funds can be used, and a large amount of funds may need to be supplemented at any time. Even XJ International Entertainment’s 12 million Hong Kong dollars buyout income just received this year will be borrowed.

Prior to this, Luo Junyan's wedding house had just been put on the market at a high price of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was immediately signed by an anonymous buyer. Sister Army didn't expect that her husband's reputation for fighting evil spirits would still be widely circulated in Xiangjiang.

At the beginning, he just attended a groundbreaking ceremony and asked for a price of 880,000 Hong Kong dollars, and most wealthy people did not get the number. Then, the 5 million Hong Kong dollars for this wedding house where Luo Junyan lived all the year was a bargain.

The most weird thing is that the buyer is not in a hurry to urge Luo Junyan and his wife to move out after payment, and even the rent is not required. Anyway, if Luo Junyan can live for one more day, the house will gather a bit more of the spirit of warding off evil spirits.

Luo Junyan just needs to be busy for a while before he can move. Sister Army now has a big belly and concentrates on work. He has to purchase the furniture and daily necessities of the new home. So Luo Jun Yantuo Real Estate Economic Company sent a box of high-end French red wine of some vintages to the buyer of the wedding house, and he did not owe this favor.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Xin embarked on the release of "Ransom Storm."

The filming schedule was ultra-short and saved a part of the cost, and the budget for distribution and promotion was not too high. It relied solely on the gimmicks of hot events, and the total cost of the film was only 2.3 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even if the cost of commercial films that are all literary operas in Xiangjiang in 1990 was higher than that of non-films, they were also very high. If the investment doubles, it will be used for the actors' remuneration. Of course, Luo Junyan also saves quite a bit during the shooting process, and the general director would not be as meticulous as he stings.

In terms of theaters, companies that are subject to the entertainment industry also have to give Luo Junyan a stumbling block.

The condition proposed by the theaters this time is that Snowman Century Entertainment is required to follow the precedent and guarantee the release, and arrange the schedule and release cycle according to the guaranteed box office of "Ransom Storm".

Luo Junyan scolded your mother in front of Hu Xin. If you follow the rules of guarantee in the future, Snowman Century Entertainment will not need to continue to operate, otherwise sooner or later, you will have to lose all your pants.

Who can guarantee that his film will not hit the street? Even if it is not enough to hit the street, if you want to schedule a good schedule and require a longer release time, the guaranteed box office asking price will not be cheap, and it will be thankful to wait until the account is settled.

Luo Junyan secretly rejoiced that he followed the advice of sister army and invested heavily in the construction of the Snow Country Theater. Otherwise, you will be caught in the theater chain, and you will not be able to achieve good box office results in Xiangjiang, and the market in other cities will soon be eaten away by other production companies.

At that time, it was really called every day to resist, and the earth was not working. It is not important whether the aroma of the wine is not good. In the future, it will be more and more time to look at the bottle. It does not matter whether the alley is deep or not. There are always more ways to drag people into the alley than there are problems.

The core problem is that the property rights of the alley belong to others, and they only have a word. If you have the ability, you can fly to the sky and show me.
