Chapter 22: First Film

This year’s Lunar New Year movie season can be said to be very lively. From December 5th to January next year, there are nearly 20 domestic and foreign films released in turn during the entire Lunar New Year season.

In particular, as this year’s top heavyweight film”Mei Lanfang”, it is another Peking Opera-themed film by the little poet following his masterpiece”Farewell My Concubine”, which is likely to make Director Chen’s name in film history again.

Regardless of whether it is online or in traditional media, almost everyone said after watching”Mei Lanfang” that the real director Chen has returned.

Although from a certain perspective,”Mei Lanfang” is still far from Director Chen’s masterpiece”Farewell My Concubine”, at least this time he did not disappoint the audience’s expectations.

The film uses the most plain narrative method to describe a Mei Lanfang who has”stepped down from the altar”. This Mei Lanfang is so nervous that he can’t remember a word before going on stage, and he falls into the madness of love at first sight.……

Director Chen is writing a legendary character with a narrated lens. It is worth mentioning that the protagonists of the film are full of terms in Beijing dialect and Peking opera, which is also worthy of praise.

《If You Are the One is a comedy directed by Feng Kuzi four years later. The film presents the various lifestyles and mentalities of urban men and women in the form of matchmaking for Ge Da Ye. As an unshakable”Feng Man Lang”, Ge Da Ye shows up as a returnee this time and starts a”blind date battle” with various beauties.”

The genius director Xu Ke brought together Zhou Xun, Gui Lunmei and Zhang Yiqi, three beautiful women with unique personalities, in”Women Are Not Bad”. In the words of a drama critic, when three women who are”most feared by men” are together, is the movie still a comedy?

Perhaps this is the style of Tsui Hark’s comedy. In Tsui Hark’s words,”I use the perspective of a modern woman to tell a story about pheromones.

If”Mei Lanfang” is a”literary” film, then”Ip Man” is undoubtedly a”martial arts” film. What’s more, both films are biopics, so it’s hard not to compare them. And Zhen Zhidan has been winning more and more people’s love with his real kung fu in recent years. I believe that this”Ip Man” can make people recall the excitement of”SPL”.

《When”Red Cliff Part 1″ was released in the summer, netizens picked out many ridiculous lines and plots. Perhaps, in the upcoming”Red Cliff Part 2″, netizens still find that there are still some funny elements.

In addition, there are Lu Chuan’s”Nanjing! Nanjing!” and Liu Dehua’s”Star Dream Romance”》，《Romance》、《Silver Medalist》、《See You There 2: Breathless》、《noble》、《Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”》、《Love Call 2》、《Tough Guy》、《007: The Afterglow of Love

It can be seen that the 2009 Lunar New Year box office will inevitably be full of competition and controversy.

Since Ning Hao joined the crew of”Startling by Each Step” as a group director, he has made great progress through continuous practice and learning, and has gained more and more confidence in his future directing.

In private, I often get together with Li Qi to talk about the Lunar New Year holiday and the increasingly hot film market.

Ning Hao was very nervous at this moment. He looked at Li Qi who was sitting opposite him from time to time, fearing that he would show a perfunctory look on his face.

Li Qi didn’t pay too much attention to Ning Hao’s thoughts. He was flipping through a script in his hand. Yes, it was”Crazy Stone”, a script written by Ning Hao and his two good friends Zhang Cheng and Yue Xiaojun.

The plot is the same as the previous life. It tells the story of a handicraft factory on the verge of bankruptcy. When the old factory building was demolished, a priceless jadeite was found. Unexpectedly, the international thief Mike and the local thief trio headed by Dao Ge all set their sights on the jadeite. They launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Bao Shihong, the head of the security department of the handicraft factory.

The prevention and breakthrough around jadeite is happening”、”It’s easy to get”、”Replace the real with the fake”、”Stories of coincidences and adventures such as”Returning the Jade to Zhao”

Li Qi can feel the excellence of the script just by looking at it, not to mention how amazing the finished film will be.

“This script is very well written, there is basically nothing to modify, I have no problem here, tell me your ideas first.”Li Qi closed the script, patted the script in his hand and said to Ning Hao

Ning Hao could see that Li Qi was satisfied with the script, and his mood became cheerful. He swallowed and said to Li Qi:”My idea is that this movie was shot in the mountain city. The unique dialect there, combined with the black comedy style of this movie, can best show the charm of this movie.”

“”Okay, I support it!” Li Qi didn’t think about it and smiled at Ning Hao and answered

Ning Hao had seen Li Qi’s attitude. After spending time with him, he knew what he meant. So he continued,”As for the actor, I hope to invite Sun Honglei to play the male lead.”

“No problem, you have the final say on the selection of actors, and the company will do its best to invite them for you!” Li Qi replied.

“During the filming, I reserved a role for you, come and play a cameo role!” Seeing that Li Qi was so easy to talk to, Ning Hao didn’t hesitate.

“That’s not right, Brother Hao, there’s no role suitable for me in this play, right?”Li Qi was not very interested in whether to participate in”Crazy Stone”. He knew the overall style of the film, but he could only say that his image was too handsome, which was too different from the styles of other actors in the play, which would easily create a sense of separation.

“How come there is no suitable one? The international thief Mike in the play is very suitable for you to play. When the time comes, I will give you a suit, a slicked-back hair, black sunglasses, and shoot it in the style of 007. It will definitely give the audience a sense of difference and guarantee frequent laughs!”Ning Hao explained to Li Qi enthusiastically.

Ning Hao knew Li Qi’s current fame on the Internet. When the movie was promoted, he had already thought of a title,”Shocking: The author of The Return of the Condor Heroes turned out to be an international thief.” He believed that the box office of the movie would definitely increase by 10 or 20 million.

Li Qi didn’t know what the other party was thinking. He thought about the role of the international thief Mike and thought he could give it a try.”Okay! How much investment does this movie need?” Li Qi said.

“If we save money on the filming, eight million should be enough!” Ning Hao looked at Li Qi and said carefully. He had calculated the price many times and saved money wherever he could.

Hearing this, Li Qi looked at the script in his hand, shook his head, and said,”Eight million is not enough!”

Ning Hao was anxious and said,”I should be able to find a way to get him out for the six million!”

“Brother Hao, what are you thinking about? Am I short of money?”Li Qi saw that Ning Hao misunderstood his meaning and said with a smile
