Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 157
Brother Cheng became a busy man, and he was very busy.
The novel “Construction” was dictated by him and modified by the team of writers. The character image of the comics and many comic elements are controlled by him, and he can’t make any style variation. The new film script here is waiting for him to make up his mind. Luo Junyan accepts all scripts of any subject this time.
Brother Cheng is now full of “Construction”, even if he has watched it many times, it is impossible to memorize “Sin City”. In some places, he is rounded by himself. In this case, Cheng Ge can come up with **** ideas and has no idea about the new film.
When the discussion came to a halt, Luo Junyan casually mentioned what she felt when she went to watch “Chariot of Fire 2” with sister army. Brother Cheng’s eyes lit up and immediately asked Luo Junyan to stand up and look carefully up and down.
Then he asked Bian Sicong, “A Cong, pretend you don’t know A Jun, how old do you think A Jun is?”
Bian Sicong carefully looked at Luo Junyan’s delicate face and tall appearance, and replied, “It’s only 26 or 7 years old.”
Brother Cheng akimbo his hips, nodded, and said: “Boys and females are not very old. It should be no problem to pretend to be in their 20s with makeup. That film will be easy to handle.”
Luo Junyan was unclear, so he stared at Brother Cheng blankly.
Brother Cheng said: “This time we are shooting a youth inspirational film, I pondered the specific ideas for two days.”
Brother Cheng is going to look back to see if the comics of “Initial D” are out. If it has already come out, then you have to spend money to buy the copyright of the remake. If it doesn’t come out, then “Initial D” is his idea, saving money and effort.
Brother Cheng once checked that this D means racing drifting, and there really is nothing more appropriate than this name.
Luo Junyan suspected that he didn’t use him, he didn’t doubt about employing him, and he immediately expressed his support. The key is that he didn’t hire him, and he didn’t even do not believe in Brother Cheng. Bian Sicong has been wondering what is the concept of youth inspiration and how old is youth.
Cheng’s luck is quite good, “Initial D” has been serialized since 1995. So the new film “Initial D” was formally established, and Bian Sicong rushed to Japan to buy the copyright of the film remake. Luo Junyan began to apply a facial mask and soak in a mud bath to make his body white, tender and smooth.
This youth age doesn’t need to be controversial anymore. It’s been clearly explained in the comics. It’s 18 years old as a tender young. Luo Junyan starred at the age of 37 as an 18-year-old young and beautiful boy. Only Brother Cheng dared to think about it, and he also brazenly regarded this bug as a publicity stunt.
Shooting “Initial D”, Luo Junyan will no longer abuse special effects. The experience of Hollywood failure allowed Luo Junyan to break away from reality and truly understand the meaning of film as visual perception, which can be described and profound in one word.
Yes, it is profound. Profound enough to make the audience associate, the audience’s eyes and the lens are highly overlapped, and the emotions are actively handed over to you to manipulate. This is the essence of Hollywood movies.
The purchase of copyright went very smoothly. The money from Snowman Century Entertainment, the reputation of Luo Junyan and the expectations of the comics authors, these factors have actively contributed to the rapid transaction of film adaptation copyrights. Luo Junyan can play around in Asia, but he can only stare in the United States.
“Initial D” does not require much modification.
The location is still in Akina Mountain. Fujiwara Takumi still delivers tofu. He comes to the car based on his feelings. His father and former racer Fujiwarata still makes tofu. Fujiwara Takumi’s hair, Amu, remained unchanged, and the order of those who came to find fault was Nakaritake, Takahashi Ryosuke, Iwagi Kiyoji, and Sudo Iichi.
In terms of female roles, a male lead and his girlfriend Natsuki Mogi, part-time ****. A Mu’s girlfriend, Mei Ye, doesn’t have a serious role.
The plot does not need to be changed, it is a variety of racing cars, the highlight is drift. Fujiwara Takumi will take on the next challenge, but the relationship is in crisis, and finally decides to join the racing team and become a real racing car.
The track design of this film is very important, there should be no similar bridge sections, repetition will make the audience feel tired.
The script is basically adapted, and the Gemini special effects team is in place. The CG production plan is planned in advance, and then reviewed and revised by Luo Junyan. The stunt team can be found in Xiangjiang. In this regard, Xiangjiang’s strength is not weak.
Brother Cong started the preparatory work of the crew, this didn’t need Luo Junyan to worry about. The only thing that needs to be done now is the actors. Luo Junyan explained to Hu Xin very clearly on the phone. After reading the script carefully, the actors can be chosen from within Asia. There is only one requirement, and the actor’s image must be absolutely in line with the role.
Subsequently, the first actor identified was the candidate for the heroine, the Japanese actress Kyoko Fukada.
Kyoko Fukada is just 18 years old this year, and she looks cute. She debuted in 1996 and has accumulated a wealth of performance experience, and her popularity in Japan is also very high.
This time, Sister Xi, who took the initiative to contact the Japanese Horipro brokerage company, recommended a candidate who she thought was suitable, and was approved by Luo Junyan.
The role of father Fujiwarata is played by Korean movie star Choi Min-sik, recommended by Kim Zhehe.
Luo Junyan gave Jin Zhehe a place to vote for a movie. He voted for a biographical film “Drunk Painting Fairy” with an investment of 5 billion won. Director Lin Quanze was very cautious after getting the investment, repeatedly reviewing historical data and revising the script. The film is still in preparation.
But the lead actor has been determined to be Choi Min-sik, so Jin Zhehe wants to promote Choi Min-sik’s popularity in Asia.
Before Jin Zhehe decided to invest in “Drunk Painting Fairy”, there was another episode. The heroine selected by the director is the TV drama star Son Ye Jin. This factor is the key to moving Jin Zhe Ha, because Son Ye Jin looks a lot like Army sister.
Of course, Jin Zhehe would not take the initiative to introduce Sun Yezhen to Luo Junyan. He knew about this a long time ago, but he wouldn’t even mention it. With the help of this investment opportunity, maybe Luo Junyan will find out by himself, God knows whether Sun Yezhen has a relationship with sister army.
Takahashi Ryosuke is the TVB contract artist Huang Zongze sought by Hu Xin. It was the little kid that Luo Junyan picked out directly from the school, but he thought that this kid had a good talent, and now he has entered the entertainment circle.
Zhong Liyi’s actor is the rookie Chi Sheng selected by Hu Xin from SBS TV station, a Korean affiliate.
Because there will be a new drama “Delicious Relationship” to be broadcast soon, SBS TV is happy to let the newcomers take advantage of Luo Junyan’s reputation, and the asking price is really low. Of course, Chi Sheng needs Luo Junyan to audition before he can be sure.
At the suggestion of Makoto Iichi Sudo recruited Chen Xiaochun to play the role. Brother Cheng is out of good intentions. All the actors in the original version have clicked, so there is only one remaining fruit.
Iwajo Kiyoshi’s candidate was recommended by Hua Ge, and the newcomer Pan Weibo who has just signed in under his banner.
The chance to debut this time is too rare, otherwise Hua Ge will not open this mouth, so Andy Lau will play a supporting role in the film, A Mu’s father. Hua Ge not only doesn’t need a penny, but also has to pretend to be old, which is a great sacrifice for top stars.
The actor of Amu is Gu Tianle, who Hu Xin found. Louis Koo’s popularity in Xiangjiang is no longer small, but he is always in the TV circle. This time the TVB contract expires, he has already decided to leave the nest and go to the film circle. “Initial D” is a very good opportunity, and it is definitely a big production in Xiangjiang.
The actor of Mei Ye is Charlene Choi, a newcomer introduced by Emperor Entertainment. She just signed in 2000 and only starred in “Since He Came”. Luo Junyan is considering whether to give this face, but she feels that Charlene Choi’s image is good, so she will go smoothly.
The actors are all in place, just waiting for the results of the special effects design. All the prop cars in the film were sponsored by Toyota, and they also paid a sponsorship fee of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, for fear that Luo Junyan would be on a whim and replaced it with a Porsche.
So busy, Christmas is approaching, and it will not start until the Spring Festival at the earliest. But Luo Junyan was in a good mood, not because his skin became matte and tender, but because sister army was about to return to him with the child.
“A Tiger” starring Andy Lau is also about to be painted. It is impossible for the box office to exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. The producer of this film is Hua Ge, and it is worth celebrating that it can reach 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it does not make much money, it can bring more confidence to Hua Ge.
Luo Junyan likes this film very much, he thinks this film is the pinnacle of Hua Ge’s acting career, at least so far. Because this film fits Andy Lau’s mood, there is some truth in Xiangyouxinsheng’s words.
The other is the heroine Tokiwa Takako, Luo Junyan likes this Japanese actor’s performance very much.
how to say? It is very similar to Wu Qianlian, she belongs to the kind of actor who plays to the bones. Unfortunately, age is not suitable for the role of “Initial D”, Luo Junyan automatically ignored her age.
By the way, Luo Junyan also went to see “Thundermen” released on December 21. The film directed by Tang Jili, starring Aaron Kwok and Norioka Fujiwara, cost as much as 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
This 80 million should be a real investment, because the special effects are done by Gemini Digital Special Effects Company. Luo Junyan knew how much money it cost to produce the film.
However, looking at the attendance rate, if the box office can exceed 20 million, go to Xiangxiang and vouch for it. The blood loss can’t escape.
The cost of this film is about the same as the “Skyscraper” he voted for, and the global box office of 300 million Hong Kong dollars can almost pay back. Do you count on the mainland? The mainland now counts Hong Kong movies as foreign movies, which is the so-called sub-ledger movie. Even if you give you the introduction index, you can only get 13% of the box office share.
Luo Junyan’s “Sweet Honey” and “Skyscrapers” are special cases. One is the donation from the Mainland in response to the Hope Project, and the other is all donations to the disaster area. It doesn’t matter how much the contract stipulates.
Luo Junyan has no interest in Fujiwara’s acting skills. It is said that many Xiangjiang and many celebrities are fascinated by her, but Luo Junyan thinks that it is okay for her to shoot idol dramas, and she is not in the category of actors that she can cooperate with.
Sister Army returned to Xiangjiang with two little babies, and Luo Junyan finally didn’t have to guard the mansion by herself. Happiness is actually that simple. While earnestly going back to earn money, at the same time earnestly accompany his wife to count the money.
Before New Year’s Day, the visual effects production plan was finally finalized.
Special effects are concentrated on three elements, sparks, friction and drift, and drag racing is realized with real stunts. Of course, the track will also be made with special effects, but that will not be the focus of visual impact. Luo Junyan has made significant progress in understanding of special effects.
Combining the film type and core to use special effects is the correct way to burn money. In the final analysis, special effects help the director and actors strengthen the rhythm.
Yes, it is still the rhythm, Luo Junyan is about to enter the third stage of watching the mountains.
During the New Year’s Day holiday in 2001, the family had a great time. The little bit of the old sister’s family can also brush up on the sense of existence, but unfortunately the two sisters have already considered themselves big girls and will never play with him in the mud anymore.
After New Year’s Day, everything is ready now, and you can go to Japan to start the game. However, Luo Junyan still decided to rush to Japan on January 20, and some of the crew members can be in place in advance.
Because on January 18th, Long Ge’s comeback work “Mystery of Agents” will be released. Luo Junyan must go to cheer, and sort out the preferences of the audience again, the market must be right, don’t use art as a nonsense.
As a result, before the film was released, Long Ge first came to him for a drink.
The two had a drink, and Luo Junyan felt it out of Long Ge’s words, and Long Ge was very dissatisfied. Because Jiahe introduced Taiwan’s Acer to save the field, and reached an agreement with Acer to follow the example of Yongsheng, this time it will be screened online.
It’s fine, but network streaming technology is immature in this era. “Mystery of Secret Agents” must be divided into upper and lower episodes to be screened, and some cuts must be made to meet the requirements of the network.
“Mystery of Agents” is a work of Long Ge, and the cost of capital and time is extremely high. Brother Long also returned to Xiangjiang for the purpose of saving the market. He was determined to win the annual box office championship of Xiangjiang Film. What do you think? Everyone has to go crazy.
What can Luo Junyan say? It’s enough to be a listener. But he could feel that the day when Brother Long would terminate Jiahe’s contract was not far away.
After more than 20 years of cooperation, it is not clear who is taking advantage of whom, but Luo Junyan asked himself that he could not be as persistent as Long Ge, and he was right when he saw people’s hearts over time.
