Ye Weixing set the tone of the entire film to be that the concepts between justice and humanity are ambiguous.
In the same way, the fights between people also need to have a similar tragic ending of cause and effect, retribution, and interlocking.
Therefore, the two most critical and most interesting duels in the play must be consistent with the tone of the entire play. Therefore, only the scenes of brutal fighting can make people experience the real sadness caused by darkness and chaos.
This is also another feature and charm of Hong Kong police and gangster movies, which is reality.
The endings of such films are usually tragic, with most of them dying together and the screen full of blood.
Hong Kong police and gangster movies disdain to create sweet, brilliant, glorious, and great dreams for anyone. They don’t set up superheroes for you, and they don’t owe you the halo of the protagonist.
There is only a body of flesh and blood here, heading towards the road of life and death head-on.
Ye Weixing also hopes that his new film will also have a pair of cruel and invisible hands, peeling off the flesh of illusion, exposing the rough bones of reality, and forcing the audience in front of the screen to watch it and then swallow it.
Through this crew experience, Liu Qingshan learned a lot, especially enriching his understanding of realistic-themed movies.
But before he could digest it, he was interrupted by Shi Hui who came up.
She held the mobile phone in her hand, and the caller was Yang Wancheng.
"Shanzi, someone from Sanyou Pictures sent me news. I don't know if it's necessary to tell you!"
"Uncle Yang, just say it, you can bear it no matter what the situation is!"
"It's not that serious, but their words reveal their disdain for you. That's what happened. Fei Hua, one of the three bosses of Sanyou Pictures, had someone convey his dissatisfaction, saying that it was you He’s just an unknown person, so he doesn’t need to tangle with a junior newcomer, but he went directly to me to ask questions!”
"Hahaha, it should be the words I asked Brother Dabao to take care of!"
"I guess that's the case! So, what are you going to do? They're not causing trouble for you on the set, are they?"
"Hahaha, Uncle Yang, if you don't ask any questions, there will be a series of them as soon as you ask them!"
"Aren't you concerned about you? Do you think you, Uncle Yang, are nagging you?"
Liu Qingshan quickly corrected his attitude: "No, you are an elder, and I can understand your feelings of caring for the younger generation!"
"Since you haven't, answer me quickly!"
"Okay, let's tell the truth. I have to exclude Sanyou Pictures from my future partners. In fact, I can think of this result, because I just gave Hong Dabao a script two days ago. The only requirement is not to have anything to do with Sanyou Pictures!"
"You wrote a script again? Why didn't I know about it? Shanzi, you are not doing it authentically!"
"Stop, stop, stop, Uncle Yang, how can I forget you? You want to hear my plan. The script I gave to Brother Dabao is called "The Handsome Man". The reason why I didn't discuss it with you in advance is because I don't know how to make this movie. I plan to get involved, but I just want to help him, and Qinghuang Pictures has just invested in "Kung Fu"."
"Do you think I, Yang Wancheng, don't have the money to invest in two movies at the same time?"
"No way, I want to cooperate with you in the next step, but the script hasn't been completed yet, so I haven't spoken yet!"
"You mean there's another one? You're going to be in it too?"
"Yes, that one is called "The Fuse", and it will most likely be the second part of "Slaying the Wolf"."
Yang Wancheng fell silent over there. After more than ten seconds, he said again: "I understand a little bit what you mean. You want to slap Sanyou Pictures in the face with the second part of "Slaying the Wolf" Right?"
"As expected, it's Uncle Yang, he always sees things so thoroughly!"
"I know you want to say that you are a cunning person. Stop talking nonsense and tell me your plan!"
"That film will be a big production, but it will not be higher than "Kung Fu". It is only 30 million. I want Qinghuang Pictures to invest exclusively in it, or I can also invest part of it myself!"
"Don't even think about it. It's only 30 million and you still want to get involved?"
"I want to make "The Fuse" a classic among classics, and I will ask some foreign fighting masters to participate in it..."
Liu Qingshan explained his plan in detail.
Yang Wancheng, who finally figured it out, was in high spirits again, and naturally everyone praised him.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingshan went directly to Hong Dabao.
After knowing the reaction of Sanyou Pictures, Hong Dabao showed anger on his face: "Fei Hua is messing around, I will call him and scold him right now!"
Liu Qingshan quickly stopped him: "Now I just want to finish the current film smoothly, and he is just complaining to Boss Yang. He is a local snake, and he can't say anything harsh when he is so angry with me, a dragon who has crossed the river." talk?"
"Then you can't call Boss Yang. It's clear that we want to start a war with Qinghuang!"
"That's not the case, right? Boss Yang is very smart. How could he mess up the company's articles of association just because of such a trivial matter? I guess the real purpose of Feihua is to sow discord between me and Qinghuang."
"Well, that's a possibility."
"Brother Dabao, I told you yesterday when I handed you the script that the film must not be co-operated with Sanyou Pictures."
"Oh, I finally understand. It turns out that Feihua is the one who got the taste. To tell you the truth, I was very excited after I got the script yesterday, so I called Director Li of Panshi Company. It may have been obtained by Sanyou Pictures. information!"
Panshi Company is affiliated to Panshi International Variety Show Group and is a powerful comprehensive entertainment group. The Panshi Company under its name is as famous as Qinghuang Pictures, Huaxia Star Films, and Jiahe Pictures, and is also known as the four kings of the Hong Kong film industry.
Director Li is Li Xiangze, the chairman of Panshi Company, and his identity is similar to Yang Wancheng.
The difference is that Li Xiangze was once a well-established movie star in Hong Kong, with countless works in his life.
"What did Director Li say? It's good to leave it to Panshi Company. I'm a fan of Director Li's movies. I watched his movies all the time when I was a kid." Liu Qingshan nodded.
Hong Dabao smiled and said: "Director Li also knows you. He heard that it was your script and asked me to send it over without saying a word."
"Are you satisfied, old man?"
"Not satisfied. He admired the script very much. He just asked why you didn't participate."
"How did you answer?"
"What else can I say? I can only say that you have no schedule!"
"The investment in that movie is about 20 million. Brother Dabao, I still say the same thing. If Panshi Company feels there is a risk, I can invest part of it!"
In fact, he can't afford so much money right now, even if it only requires 30%.
The purpose of saying this is nothing more than to confirm from the side that my script has a promising future.
"Haha, you are out of luck. That night, Director Li made an appointment with Third Uncle to invest together."
The third uncle in Hong Dabao's mouth is Zhou Changhuai, one of the three giants of Jiahe Pictures and one of the three investors of "Kung Fu".
"Kung Fu" was ultimately invested by Zhou Xingchi himself, China Film and Jiahe Pictures in the Mainland. This incident had a great impact in Hong Kong some time ago, so Li Xiangze of Panshi Company knew about Liu Qingshan's existence.
Since the script of "Kung Fu" was written by Liu Qingshan, Zhou Changhuai decided to invest in it in just one night when he was faced with the script of "The Handsome Man".
