Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 475 Martial arts are skin, but what’s inside is about friendship and humanity.

Golden Dragon lives in Repulse Bay of Xiangjiang, south of Taiping Mountain, close to the mountains and the sea. The bay is crescent-shaped. It is known as "the best bay in the world" and also has the reputation of "Oriental Hawaii".

His mansion is here.

Yu Dongqing was holding a teacup and standing in the garden, admiring the surrounding scenery. Not far ahead was a beach and the blue sea.

Blue sky, white clouds, and rippling blue waves.

I have to say that the rich in Xiangjiang are very good at choosing places.

The same few people came to the private party this time, Xia Wenxi, Liu Guoliang, and Zhou Fanming, the vice president of Huanyu Group.

Xia Wenxi and Liu Guoliang are old and live almost a semi-reclusive life. They didn't go to the martial arts music symphony performance yesterday, but they still happily came to the gathering of old friends today.

Yu Dongqing drank Mingqian West Lake Longjing, Xia Wenxi drank his favorite Anhua black tea, and Zhou Fanming drank hand-brewed coffee, and the coffee beans were Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica.

Jin Long also made careful preparations for this afternoon tea.

However, he and Zhou Guoliang are not very particular about drinking tea, especially him. Half a cup of tea and half a cup of water, ordinary oolong tea is enough.

Xia Wenxi was sitting on a wicker chair, basking in the sun. He was wearing an old scholar's robe, and he squinted at Zhou Fanming, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes.

The latter had just arrived from the company.

"Mr. Fan, you are a very busy man. If you don't go to the film festival, why are you here drinking tea with a bunch of idlers like us?" Xia Wenxi said.

"Mr. "

"Dragon in the River" is a martial arts film jointly invested by Universal Pictures and Mainland's Royal Capital Film and Television. It brings together famous movie stars from Mainland China and Hong Kong, such as Li Yunjie from Mainland China, Shu Wenrong from Hong Kong, etc. Cheng Cong also plays a female lead in this film. No. 2, it seems that Xianyu has completely turned over.

Yu Dongqing specially went to the cinema to watch this movie at noon today and then rushed to Repulse Bay.

Yu Dongqing watched it again and felt that the plot and shooting techniques were somewhat similar to the original "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in that time and space, but the latter was 3D, while this "Dragon in the River" is still 2D.

Very good.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "I just came out of the cinema and went straight here. I feel that the filming was very good. The movie has grand scenes, bright colors, and the design of the martial arts scenes is also very exciting. I guess Is the response from fans good?"

"It's not bad." Zhou Fanming didn't hide anything: "I guess it won't be a big problem to recover the cost."

"Mr. Zhou, are you too humble?"

Liu Shaohua can make such a bad movie to recover the cost, but your goal for this movie is just to recover the cost?

Yu Dongqing didn't believe it.

Sure enough, Zhou Fanming added: "To be honest with you, the investment in this film is about 230 million Hong Kong dollars. We estimate that the box office in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan will reach 1.8-2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but with Mr. Yu's "The Swordsman" "It's almost too far."

Everyone nodded.

Now it seems that this is simply a martial arts movie, a mountain that no domestic movie can climb.

When Yu Dongqing saw the other person mentioning his photos, of course he had to be modest.

Zhou Fanming asked again: "Mr. Yu, from your director's point of view, what are the problems with this movie?"

Of course the other party asked sincerely, and Yu Dongqing also had to laugh.

He thought for a while and said: "I think the plot is a bit scattered and the emotional power is a bit weak. Of course, these flaws can't be concealed."

"This is Jin Long's fault!" Zhou Fanming turned his head and looked at Jin Long.

Jin Long was drinking tea from a large porcelain vat. He almost choked when he heard these words. He quickly put down the teacup and stared:

"I said, Lao Zhou, why do you blame me for the movie you made??"

"At that time, I asked you to write a script, but you resisted. If you had written the script, how could this problem have arisen?!"

Jin Long's eyes widened even more after hearing this: "You are simply arrogant! I was busy writing a novel at the time, how could I have time to write a script for you?!"

The two quarreled, but the others were not surprised. It seemed that they often did this.

At this time Xia Wenxi spoke, and the two stopped arguing.

"Fan Ming, I also watched this movie yesterday, and I have to say something that I shouldn't have heard. I think your literary drama, aside from the martial arts and fighting design, is too imitating Mr. Yu's "The Swordsman". "

Zhou Fanming had a wry smile on his face after hearing this: "Mr.

yes

Whether it's the mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan, the martial arts designs are almost all based on the movie "The Swordsman", but they are just imitated to some extent.

"So, the question goes back to the previous one." Liu Guoliang, who has always been relatively silent, crossed his legs and took a sip of tea before saying:

"Although I don't know much about movies, I feel that since it cannot be surpassed in martial arts, then it is necessary to polish the plot of literary dramas. Mr. Yu, do you think I am right?"

"Mr. Liu, what you said makes sense." Yu Dongqing replied: "I think martial arts is just a skin, but inside it is actually about friendship and humanity. Good-looking fighting scenes are essential, but the most touching thing is in the movie. The joys and sorrows of the characters.”

"Yes!" Jin Long immediately agreed:

"What do I admire most about Mr. Yu's "The Swordsman"? It's not Linghu Chong's dazzling swordsmanship and other weird tricks, but the character Dongfang Bubai, who is majestic in men's clothing and smiles in women's clothing. Meisheng, and the emotional entanglement with Linghu Chong."

"Especially the final cliff jumping, the decisive departure brings the soul shock and visual beauty to the viewer, which makes me, an old man, have tears in my eyes."

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"Hey, after hearing what you said, I was originally full of confidence in "The Dragon". In addition to the box office, I might be able to win some awards, but now I think it will be over." Zhou Fanming sighed after finishing speaking.

"Lao Zhou, I can't comment on the Mainland Golden Rooster Award, but forget about Baodao's Golden Horse Award." Jin Long interjected, speaking without mercy.

"But it is still very possible that we can win the best art director at the Hong Kong Film Awards. This movie has good scenery. Maybe it can also win the best action design. Although Mr. Yu's "Swordsman" Compared with "Jianghu", the action design is not innovative enough, but it is not bad."

Jinlong's analysis is clear and logical.

Xia Wenxi and Liu Guoliang also nodded.

Although they are not film critics, they have watched countless martial arts movies and have written many theme songs for them, but they can still appreciate them.

After hearing this, Zhou Fanming took a sip of coffee silently, and suddenly looked at Yu Dongqing who was holding a teacup leisurely: "Mr. Yu, how about you make another martial arts film? We are investing in Universal Film and Television!"
