Chapter 633 "Crossing the Window Together" starts

During the most glorious period of Hong Kong movies, not only countless classic films were produced, but some films even had sequels because of their box office success. From this, a series of films were born, such as "Slaying the Wolf", "Rich and Rich",

"Ip Man", "The Best Partner", "The Five Lucky Stars", "The Gambler", "Young and Dangerous", "Drunken Master", "Truant Dragon", "Police Story", "Once Upon a Time", "The Sky"

"If Love", "Mr. Zombie", "God of Gamblers", "The Swordsman", "A Better Tomorrow", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Infernal Affairs" and so on.

In this series of movies, some of them have strong elements of the times and may be outdated in modern times. However, some movies, let alone modern ones, will not fade even if they are a hundred years later, such as "Once Upon a Time" and "Police Story".

"A Chinese Ghost Story", "Infernal Affairs", "God of Gamblers" series.

"A Better Tomorrow" produced by Wang Xuan is undoubtedly one of them.

There are three films in this series, among which the first two films directed by John Woo are the most highly rated.

John Woo is known as the "Master of Violent Aesthetics". In John Woo's shots, the opposition between evil and justice makes the world full of passion, and the interweaving of love and hatred is the real theme. "A Better Tomorrow" is undoubtedly his representative work showing the aesthetics of violence.

, he fully utilized the iconic film vocabulary such as violent aesthetics, brotherhood, and double guns in the film, revealing the human nature that swings between good and evil.

Many people say that the 1986 version of "A Better Tomorrow" is an unprecedented classic in the history of Hong Kong films. It brought together a group of the most elite filmmakers in Hong Kong in the 1980s. No matter the characters, photography or the idealism and ambition it conveyed, it was

It greatly stimulated the general confusion and turmoil among people in that era. It broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies, swept the Golden Horse and Golden Statues, and started the trend of gangster hero movies.

But in fact, the most amazing thing is that it has become a microfilm of that golden era. Many events and past events are condensed in this movie. This is also the greatest achievement of "A Better Tomorrow", as it fits the theme of the times.

At that time, the direction of the Hong Kong region was a very unclear and very sensitive issue. At this time, Hong Kong people generally lacked a sense of security and lacked a common ideal spiritual sustenance. This made the movie "A Better Tomorrow" convey

The support and care between people based on "loyalty" has become the most ideal support. At the same time, the passionate behavior of heroes to eliminate evil and punish evil has become a reasonable outlet for this accumulated uneasiness.

Let's put it this way, in the list of Hong Kong's 100 Best Films selected by Hong Kong film critics, A Better Tomorrow ranked first, which shows that this film has a profound influence on Hong Kong films.

Before starring in "A Better Tomorrow", Fa Ge was 31 years old. He had both good looks and acting skills. He was once popular, but he became a box office poison inexplicably. It was "A Better Tomorrow" that allowed him to return to the throne of the best actor and laid the foundation for his future career.

status in the Hong Kong film industry.

Leslie Cheung successfully transformed from a singer into a recognized actor with this movie. Ti Lung, who was already bald and outdated, regained his second youth with this movie. John Woo also made a beautiful turn with this movie

battle.

Wang Xuannong's script is the first part of "A Better Tomorrow" and also the most classic one. If this movie is made, it will not be as famous as "Farewell My Concubine", but for the director, it will definitely be able to improve

Very famous. And Wang Xuan planned to hand over the script to Shen Zhe for filming.

As for himself, he has many classic scripts at his disposal. For example, "Once Upon a Time", which he is planning to shoot this year, is a classic movie. It is among the top three in all series of films in Hong Kong. When he completes "Once Upon a Time", it will be enough.

Became famous in the directing world.

Wang Xuan called Shen Zhe.

"Brother Zhe, this is a movie script I wrote for you. You should read it first," Wang Xuan said.

Shen Zhe nodded, a little surprised. He had just joined Tianhai a few days ago, and Wang Xuan had written a script for him so quickly. The efficiency was incredible, but he didn't know the quality. He took the script over and read it.

Go down.

"heroic nature"?

Is it a film with a strong sense of personal heroism? This type of film series is very popular in Europe and the United States, because Europe and the United States worship heroism very much, but this is not necessarily the case in China. Mainly in China, the era of hero worship has long passed.

Looking down, Shen Zhe was quickly attracted by the script, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Mr. Wang, your script is so good. It looks like a gangster and police film, but it is not a gangster's inside story.

It is not a reflection of social reality, but a recreation of a heroic myth. The protagonist in the script has gone through hardships, but never gives up the pursuit of loyalty, status, and dignity. The love between father and son, brotherhood, friendship, and love between men and women are reflected in it.

Wait, wait, etc., to portray the protagonist's image vividly.

There are some plots in it that make my heart tremble just thinking about them, such as the cynical way in which Brother Ma uses counterfeit money to light cigarettes, and the heroic Qianyun who goes to Taiwan to avenge Brother Hao by himself, hugging a dancer while showing off his dancing skills while hiding a gun.

If these scenes of the idiot chewing a matchstick can be filmed, they will definitely become classic scenes. This character is great, and the line "I must get back what I lost" is exciting just thinking about it. This is it.

The role is difficult to control."

"Why, no confidence?" Wang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Yes! Mr. Wang gave me such a good script, how could I not have confidence? Even if I don't eat or drink, I will shoot this movie, and I will start setting up the crew tomorrow!" Shen Zhe said firmly.

"That's fine. I'm waiting for your good news."

After Shen Zhe left, Wang Xuan called Weng Yong in: "A Yong, you told me before that you wanted to be a director, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang." Weng Yong said.

"Have you taken the director-related courses I asked you to take before?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Registered, class has ended."

"Is the class over? That's just in time. I'm going to shoot the second part of "Welcome to School Together", and this time you will be the assistant director."

"Ah? Let me be the assistant director?"

"What? No confidence?"

"Yes! But I've never been an assistant director, so I'm afraid."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. I will take care of everything. You can just put the theoretical knowledge you have learned to use. After I finish filming "Welcome Together", I will also shoot an action movie and "Dragon"

In film and television dramas, you will also be asked to be the assistant director. I will help you improve your strength as soon as possible and train you to be able to take charge of your own role, so that our Tianhai will have another strong general." Wang Xuan said.

Weng Yong was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Wang, I will definitely live up to Mr. Wang's expectations."

"Except Wang Wei, please inform the original cast of the first part of "Welcome to the School Together" to gather at 9 o'clock tomorrow to prepare for the filming of the second part of "Welcome to the School Together". As for you, you will take Wang Wei's place.

." Wang Xuan said.

"clear."

The next day, the original crew of "Together Together" reunited. Compared with two years ago, the entire crew has grown a lot. The lighting engineers and photographers have become the top names in each department. And Together

Several of the leading actors who have passed through the window are already well-known in the industry. Each has participated in some movies, and their mental outlook has also taken on a new look, becoming radiant and full of confidence.

The same thing is that everyone looks at Wang Xuan with eyes full of admiration. Because many of their things were taught to them by Wang Xuan, by words and deeds, otherwise how could they have made such progress? Moreover, Wang Xuan's talent alone

It is worthy of their worship.

So everyone was very happy when they found out that Wang Xuan was going to film the second part of "Together".

The purpose of Wang Xuan's gathering of the crew was to hold a mobilization meeting for the crew and to tell them to do some preparation work. After the crew left, Wang Xuan retained Li Jianing and other directors to prepare the character scripts.

Distribute to them.

"Have you all got your character lines? During the preparation period of the crew, you must memorize the lines of your respective scripts. If you have opponents, it is best to find your opponents to play against each other, because we

The filming task this time is very heavy, and the filming time is very tight. I plan to finish the entire 52-episode TV series within two months," said Wang Xuan.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

52 episodes were filmed in 2 months. On average, one episode was shot every day. This is crazy.

"I know some of you must think it's crazy, and I think it's crazy too, but I have confidence in you and myself. Our crew has worked together so many times before, so this is by no means impossible."

Wang Xuandao.

"clear!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we will cooperate with you and do our best to make this TV series a success."

Wang Xuan nodded.

Soon a week passed, and the obedience required for the filming of the second part of "Together" was finally in place. Wang Xuan took the lead and a group of people came to the Southern Communication University in Wuzhou, Zhejiang Province to shoot "Together".
