Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 115 "A Chinese Ghost Story"

Although Yuan Jiaban joined Tengyue Entertainment Company, it was reported by media reporters, but it did not cause much noise. After all, there are many major events in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang now, and no one pays attention to this "little news". They all pay attention.

On top of the currently being released "Back to the Future" and the beginning of the "Miss Hong Kong" selection.

At Tengyue Entertainment, Su Cheng discussed with Yuan Heping about the candidates for the role.

The actor currently scheduled to play the male lead Ip Man is Yuen Biao, and the female lead Zhang Yongcheng has been handed over to Anita Mui. Zhou Qingquan is still played by Simon Yam. Jinshan has cast Yuan Hua. Li Zhao has cast Ng Chun-yu. Wu Chi Lin has cast Jacky Cheung.

Sha Danyuan is played by Wang Jie.

As for the few martial arts masters, they were handed over to the Hong family class. The Yuan family class did not have enough people, so they found someone to invite them themselves.

As for the islanders, they also have to find island actors to play the roles.

As for other matters, they are all left to Yuan Heping to handle. After all, he is the director and action coordinator of this film.

"Director Yuan, I have already discussed with Master Ye Zhun. You can contact him as a consultant about Wing Chun. In particular, let Yuan Biao play the role according to the design in the script. What we are going to shoot is similar to the nature of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Do you understand that it is a Kung Fu movie rather than the current authentic Hong Kong movie model?"

"I understand, boss! I will film according to the script!"

What Su Cheng hopes is that the fighting scenes in action movies are good-looking, rather than just showing off muscles like Yuen Biao's previous role as Liang Zan. I hope this film will have a good box office by then!

After all, this is currently the largest investment in a "Hong Kong film" except for "Modern Bodyguard". I am afraid it will exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

If you are not serious, how can you recover the cost?

…

After Yuan Heping left, Su Cheng found Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian over.

Thanks to the movie "Back to the Future", Rong Zai is now famous internationally, but one movie alone will not last long. There is no way, in order to stabilize his popularity, Su Cheng can only let him film in advance

That blockbuster film "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Southeast Asia.

Although the most popular part of this movie is the heroine Joey Wong, Leslie Cheung's Ning Caichen is not inferior at all!

In this way, there is no fear that Leslie Cheung's popularity will be too frivolous.

Then, he will gradually release his new song album, and he will probably become the first big star of Tengyue Entertainment to gain a firm foothold in the world. One or two more movies will be a hit, or he will win an award at a famous international film festival.

, that is, he has completely secured his throne.

As for Ye Qianwen, we have to postpone it for now. After all, her acting skills are not enough. Besides, song albums can't always be delayed, right?

"I think Minister Chen has told you, Rongzi, what do you think?"

"Follow the company's arrangements!"

"What about you?" Su Cheng asked, looking at Wang Zuxian.

"I will behave well!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Su Cheng asked Wang Zuxian to go out first, and then said to Leslie Cheung: "You should know what you will encounter when filming. Please report this kind of thing to Ye Qianwen first. In addition, when filming, treat her as

Just be a little girl, don’t put too much psychological burden on her.”

"I understand, boss!" Leslie Cheung smiled: "Besides, Ye Qianwen and I have both stayed abroad. As long as we don't go too far, our relationship can still withstand the test."

"It's good that you're fine here. By the way, don't stage a marriage proposal again. When the time is right, things will fall into place. Just like Fa Ge."

Hearing this, Leslie Cheung's face froze and he said aggrievedly: "Boss, how long ago did that happen? Besides, we are all in the same company now, so it is better to be friends!"

"If you think so, I feel relieved!"

The reason why he specifically wanted to talk to Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong was because there was a revealing plot in the movie. Leslie Cheung and Sylvia Ye were in an inseparable relationship. If they got disliked because of this, that was not what he wanted to see. Besides, that's it.

Wang Zuxian had to put in a lot of effort in this drama, and Su Cheng was afraid that she would be unhappy or have a psychological burden and would have to do some work.

But what he didn't know was that although Wang Zuxian was not very old now, he often filmed with Anita Mui, Chung Chuhong and others. Seeing that several female stars around him were becoming more and more popular, he was lagging too far behind, and he felt unconvinced.

This time, it’s too late to be excited about being able to play the male and female lead with the internationally famous Leslie Cheung! How could you miss such a good role just because of this little “artistic dedication”?

Therefore, after the company decided to let her be the heroine, she took the lead in doing all the work for her family and won the role in an instant. Whoever gave her an artist contract could get her wish regardless of whether she wanted to play any role. After all,

You're not old enough! You still need your parents' consent.

When writing the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Su Cheng did not completely copy the original version. First, their company had money, and at least the special effects had to be of high quality. Whether it was fighting or Montenegro bosses,

The design of the demon must be unique.

For this reason, Su Cheng specifically approved that the cost price can exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, special effects really cost money. There is also Lanruo Temple and the market, which need to be grand.

His original idea was to take this drama to Hollywood and release it. A small-minded film would ultimately make the film lose its moisture. After all, this is a "timeless classic film" among Hong Kong films that he has little memory of!

In addition to "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are also "God of Gamblers" and "A Better Tomorrow" starring Chow Yun-fat, "Westward Journey" and "Kung Fu" starring Stephen Chow, and "Infernal Affairs" starring Tony Leung.

Of course, there are many classics, but compared to this kind of "you can read it a hundred times and never get tired of it", there are very few!

Therefore, in order to sublimate the classic, Su Cheng had to spend a lot of money to create a "high investment film".

As for the director alone, Ann Hui, who had already finished filming the movie "The Wild Sea," and director Johnnie To, who was about to finish shooting the movie "True Lies," and action director Sammo Hung called together to work on it together.

Such efforts and mobilization are just to complete a "purely Hong Kong film" masterpiece in film history!

At least, at present, it seems that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an alternative film among ghost movies. It has no sense of horror, but has a sour "dog food smell".

Of course, when everything goes well, the absolute director of this drama will still be Johnnie To. As for Ann Hui, he will first shoot Chow Yun-fat's classic literary film "The Story of Autumn". Later, he will take over the filming of "Hachi the Dog"

story".

With her taking charge, Su Cheng has no worries about the plot going astray. After all, they are all literary and artistic films in the same vein! I hope she can perfectly demonstrate the shooting skills of the great director.
