Rebirth: I Want to Surf

The Academy Awards are usually awarded in April and the nominations are announced in January.

There are three main standards:

Either pure Hong Kong films, or co-productions;

At least six jobs in the crew are Hong Kong people;

Movies that were publicly screened in Hong Kong from January to December last year.

That is: She wants to make a film that meets the criteria, while suppressing those that may be released before January 2015 and are eligible for selection.

She hasn't disengaged from the big names in the Hong Kong circle yet, because Huayi, Bona, and Xingmei are three little bitches who can take over at any time, so she can only suppress her if she is in her own hands, and she has to use an irrefutable reason.

…………

Hongkong.

Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang are old partners. They worked on the script of "Infernal Affairs" back then, and launched the "Eavesdropping" series together, and later "Wu Shuang".

But "Wu Shuang" was used in advance.

The project they are preparing for is "Eavesdropping 3", starring Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo, Wu Yanzu, Zhou Xun, Fang Zhongxin, Wu Mengda, Lin Jiadong, etc., with a strong lineup and a budget of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Complacent, waiting for work to start, unexpectedly received a call from Jiahe.

"Why hasn't the script passed?"

"It's sensitive. There are plots of making friends with mainland politicians and businessmen, and it's land expropriation and clan fighting."

"I have tried to be conservative as much as possible, and the land acquisition and clan do not involve the mainland."

"I know I know, but there is no way, wait for the review."

"How long will it take?"

"Then who knows, but don't worry, the project will definitely not be dirty, at most it will be delayed."

The two looked at each other, both feeling helpless. The most difficult thing to do in the north was the audit. Those who quickly integrated like Chen Kexin, got mixed up quickly. If Johnnie To is not acclimatized to the environment, the film is very awkward.

"Eavesdropping 3" was originally scheduled to be filmed this year and released next year, but now I don't know where it has been delayed.

But the two didn't have the slightest idea of ​​changing the company, or turning "Eavesdropping 3" into a purely Hong Kong film with a budget of 100 million.

Only Jiahe is willing to do it.

...

"Crazy Words" tells the story of a mentally ill patient and a doctor, starring Liu Qingyun, Huang Xiaoming and Xue Kaiqi.

studio.

Liu Qingyun received a call from Mak Siu Fai, saying that "Eavesdropping 3" will be postponed.

He didn't have any fluctuations. There were too many uncertain factors in filming. The wiretapping was delayed. Can "Language" still be filmed? Everything is going well with the crew and it is planned to be released next year.

Well, next year.

...

"Magic Police" crew.

The film is directed by Lin Chaoxian, which is the one in "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea", starring Wu Yanzu, Zhang Jiahui and others.

At this moment, Wu Yanzu said very apologetically: "The filming plan of "The Witch" has changed. Director Wen Ziren asked me to join the team earlier. I have a priority agreement with them. I am really sorry!"

"You give them priority, what should I do here? Stop work!" Lin Chaoxian said angrily.

"There is still a little film left, I promise to come back as soon as possible to finish filming... Director, that is the United States, I can't afford the liquidated damages."

Lin Chaoxian is also helpless, but he came here in the 90s, and it is common for the lead actor to disappear. Wait.

…………

Similar situations are also staged in the crews of "Lost Orphans" and "Treading the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms".

Yu Jiajia will not be so stupid as to let them see that she deliberately delayed, partly due to various factors, partly went smoothly, but it is not known whether it will be released as scheduled.

The resources she controls are so huge that no one can imagine.

She just wants to be a yellow hair at the Hong Kong Film Awards, so that all Hong Kong filmmakers can experience the thrill of being face-to-face NTR: Your fig leaf, it's gone!

And the work she wants to promote is this "Dear".

99 headquarters.

Since Yu Jiajia moved here, the probability of stars from all walks of life is getting higher and higher. From the initial excitement to the present perfunctory, the employees don't even want to take a group photo.

This day, several cars stopped and came in. When the door opened, Chen Kexin, who had long hair and short stature, got out, along with Huang Bo, Hao Lei, Zhang Yi, Yan Bingyan, and Zhang Yuqi.

There are several types of directors in the Hong Kong circle.

Zhou Xingchi is a lone wolf, he will cooperate with whoever provides good conditions, his creativity is getting worse and worse, and he has started to earn pension money.

Wang Jing is a veteran, whoever insists on whomever, still has a feeling for Hong Kong movies in his heart.

Don't talk about Peng Haoxiang, anti-thief.

To Qifeng is the most contradictory. He doesn't like the environment in mainland China, and he doesn't like the environment in Hong Kong. What he misses most is the Galaxy Image period, like an old angry youth.

Chen Kexin is very interesting. He also looks down on the environment in mainland China and Hong Kong. He is the most realistic, the most compromised, and he is the most able to make profits by making use of it.

He is one of the few people who does not miss the so-called golden age of Hong Kong movies. When someone asked him, his answer was: "Old Hong Kong movies, that's what it is!"

Originally!

There are many gangsters, male thieves and female prostitutes, follow the trend to make quick money, sell movies to fool overseas film companies, and Hong Kong movies that play themselves to death.

"Dear" is a movie about child abduction and trafficking, which combines several real cases.

Huang Bo and Hao Lei play a pair of divorced couples, the only bond is their son, but one day, the son disappeared, and the two embarked on a vast journey to find their relatives, and met some poor parents who had the same experience.

Among them is Zhang Yi, who plays the role of a wealthy businessman, and his wife is Zhang Yuqi.

What is it like to find a child across the country? Perhaps none of us know that these parents are on the brink of collapse all the time, and have to use a kind of MLM-style self-brainwashing to cheer and encourage.

For example, standing in a circle holding hands and shouting slogans...

Later, Huang Bo and Hao Lei found clues about their son and found a woman who adopted him, namely Yan Bingyan.

Yan Bingyan thought she was infertile, and one day her husband brought back a child, and she took care of it by default. Later, the child was taken away by Huang Bo and Hao Lei, and she found out that she was fertile.

The standard of "Dear" is very high, and Chen Kexin grasped the ambiguity between scale and review. It is objectively rare for a Hong Kong director to shoot this kind of subject matter.

"I generally don't care about specific projects, with only two exceptions..."

Yu Jiajia sat on the spacious sofa and talked eloquently: "The first time was Ning Hao's "Manslaughter", I invited Liang Jiahui, Gong Li and other main creators to dinner.

And then this time.

I personally attach great importance to the genre of the film. "Manslaughter" is an attempt at a crime film, not to mention "Dear". Human traffickers are always sensitive.

A film of this kind is considered a victory if it is made. "

This meeting was not formal, although Yu Jiajia held a mobilization meeting for the main creator, but everyone listened attentively and did not dare to neglect it.

"Of course we also need to be a little ambitious. I invested 60 million yuan in the budget, hoping to have a satisfactory result. The box office is not required, and the word of mouth must be good. It is a film that will win awards.

The golden rooster and golden horse are like golden horses, they have to walk around..."

"We will do our best!"

"do not worry!"

Huang Bo and others expressed their opinions one after another, but Chen Kexin's heart jumped suddenly, as if there was some kind of omen.

(besides……)
