The food stall they went to tonight was also a place frequented by artists. At least the safety was well protected.
On the way, Liu Qingshan received a call that Jin Xishan had arrived safely. After sitting down, other actors from "The Big Event" arrived one after another.
At this time, we will hold a meeting for the future actors and crew. Ren Jiahua is a local snake and knows more about the trivial matters in this circle.
He also called people at last minute, and soon the small box, which was less than a few square meters, was overcrowded.
Another starring role is Chen Huilin, a currently popular female singer in Hong Kong. Liu Qingshan chose her to star because he was as faithful to the original work as possible, not because he had a deep understanding of her own acting skills.
Also coming with him was the old actor Xu Shaoxiong, who was nearly 60 years old and the nephew of the legendary literary master Lu Xun.
Lin Xue, with a chubby body and a mustache around her mouth, is just over 40, but her appearance is extremely old. She is a veteran gold medal supporting actor in Hong Kong, but her fortune is much better than that of Lin Jiadong. At least she has co-starred with others. The protagonist several times.
Shao Meiqi is only one year younger than Lin Xuexi, but she looks like she is in her twenties. She has starred in countless TV series and is developing more and more in movies. The more prosperous it becomes.
There is another important main partner, Ding Haifeng from the mainland, who just arrived last night.
In fact, the actual start of filming is still after the Lantern Festival, which is Monday, February 13th, but it is not without some filming plans. Many indoor police meeting scenes can already be filmed.
There will be many similar scenes this time. Liu Qingshan specially entrusted Liang Jinghao in advance, and through him he obtained the convenience of going to a police building to shoot.
Due to the huge commotion behind the filming, even the demolition of an entire old building was postponed because of this movie. It can be seen that Liu Qingshan's influence in Hong Kong is much higher than that in the mainland.
The plot of this movie is not complicated, and the original work did not achieve much dazzling box office success. However, the reason is not from the movie itself, but that the release happened to coincide with several blockbuster movies of the same period.
At the same time, two major Hollywood productions, "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", were released in the mainland. Both of these films later rushed to the top of the old American list. From this, it can be seen that "The Big Event" was ranked at that time. What a dangerous period it is.
In such a narrow space, "Big Event" was naturally unable to survive. The same problem was "Savage Sister", which failed to even reach the expected total box office of tens of millions.
However, in Hong Kong, the original version of "The Big Deal" grossed HK$900,000 at the box office on its first day, breaking the single-day box office record of "The Day After Tomorrow" of HK$580,000, becoming another best-selling Hong Kong film after "Infernal Affairs".
Therefore, there is not much problem with the quality of the film. In addition, Liu Qingshan made a lot of changes based on market feedback, so it should be able to achieve considerable profits.
Of course, it is unlikely to be compared with "Let the Bullets Fly". The latter, which has been successfully taken off the shelves, has achieved a global box office of 7 billion, breaking the historical records of many major Hollywood productions.
Among them, overseas box office accounts for an astonishing half of the country. From this point of view alone, it is unprecedented for Chinese movies.
In fact, Liu Qingshan did not plan to make much profit from this movie. His main purpose was to use it to gain shooting experience in street shootouts so that he could go to Hollywood to shoot his long-awaited classic masterpiece.
Therefore, regarding this movie, he did not change the narrow street scenes in the original version, and this will save a lot of investment. Obviously, he does not have the ideas and capabilities for a large-scale production yet.
Its biggest attraction is actually the violent aesthetics mixed with a bit of romanticism. It uses the dramatic transformation of the identity and role of the "bad guy" to express human nature. It is also a very typical narrative style of "fate" in Hong Kong police and gangster films.
Justice, who stays above, overlooks the evil in the world. Justice exercises its own rights. It looks so arrogant, and it also gives evil all kinds of strange reasons, and it can actually help each other with unscrupulous chivalry.
With such a story unfolding, if it were shot in mainland China, it would encounter film review problems, and it might even fail to pass the script.
This is also the reason why he decided to shoot in Hong Kong, and by using the Hong Kong film brand of Qinghuang Pictures, he can successfully bypass many things.
Among the group, only Shao Meiqi seems to be inactive. Due to the unbearable emotional experience, she has devoted all her efforts and energy to her career in recent years, constantly participating in filming. She is never picky about the leading role and supporting roles, and her professionalism is increasing day by day. strong.
She is deliberately rewriting her life map and living the way she wants, and many people see this.
It is said that after receiving an invitation from Qinghuang’s artist department and learning that Liu Qingshan had appointed her, she once locked herself in a room and cried for a long time. .
This is understandable. We all know that Liu Qingshan's international influence is showing signs of surpassing Chen Long. "Big Event" is his second directorial work. The box office of his first directorial work was shocking, but it caused a worldwide sensation.
Being able to star in his work obviously means a bright future and huge profits. Although Shao Meiqi can't figure out why he fell in love with her, a major opportunity is almost at his fingertips. Regardless of whether he is Can't miss it no matter what.
Unfortunately, I just caught up with the flu in the past two days, and I am in a gloomy period, so I didn't look very energetic tonight.
When Liu Qingshan saw her for the first time, he planned to help her: "It's not good to be in poor health. I planned to take this opportunity tonight to stimulate your performance!"
Shao Meiqi panicked immediately, but just when she was about to explain, Liu Qingshan stood up and came to her with a smile: "Sister Maggie, close your eyes, my medical skills are amazing, I will cure you in one minute." Sickness!"
The surprise after the panic caused a strange look on Shao Meiqi's face, but it did not affect Liu Qingshan's action.
For him, treating influenza is just a matter of convenience. The ability of true energy to purify evil spirits is not an ordinary symptomatic treatment.
He wanted to help her sort out her psychological depression. Psychological problems are also diseases. It is also extremely simple to clear the lungs and relieve depression so that they no longer consume qi and damage yin.
As expected, more than a minute later, Liu Qingshan withdrew his hand from the back of Shao Meiqi's neck, and ordered her, who had regained some of the luster on her face: "Go wash your face and say a few words in front of the mirror. Starting tonight you will look radiant again!”
Looking at the figure that hurriedly disappeared in front of everyone, everyone seemed to have question marks on their faces. With their eyesight, they could not see the changes for the time being.
Liu Qingshan explained with a smile: "Sister Maggie's cold is not worth mentioning. The key is that she is in a state of long-term psychological sadness, which will cause excessive physical exertion, resulting in reduced body resistance and immune dysfunction. I helped her treat it. But psychological problems also require calm self-adjustment, and others can't help! So I asked her to talk to the mirror about the depression that had been in her heart for a long time. After she fully expressed it, her illness was completely cured! "
Ren Jiahua was the first to react, laughing loudly: "A broad mind is the best way to heal yourself. I believe Xiaoqi will look like a new person when she comes back. We have heard about your medical skills for a long time!"
Just like his screenwriting ability, Liu Qingshan's medical skills never make a mistake. Of course, it is for this reason that Ren Jiahua fully trusts him.
But some people who were not very familiar with him murmured in their hearts. It lasted just over a minute, and they only saw one of Liu Qingshan's palms attached, and there were no other unnecessary movements. It is indeed difficult to let the uninformed know. People understand what's going on.
For example, Chen Huilin, despite being 33 years old, became popular immediately after her debut and has been popular for so long, which is inseparable from her prominent family background.
This "Hong Kong princess" who even Xiang Huan of China Star Film Company dared not offend was born in the family of Hong Kong's top jewelry tycoon. Two-thirds of the jewelry stores in Hong Kong are opened by her father.
Moreover, Chen Huimin, the famous leader of a certain gang and the number one gold medal thug in Xiangjiang, is also her uncle.
These two relationships are enough to ensure that she is prosperous in the Hong Kong circle. She is in trouble. This has nothing to do with her super good looks and graceful figure. It's huge. After all, there are too many female artists with her conditions in Xiangjiang.
What's rare is that this wealthy princess was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her strong family background not only gave her strong confidence, but also gave her a good education.
In the more than ten years since her debut, she has never been involved in any scandals or negative influences. This alone makes her an outlier in the entire Hong Kong circle.
It has to be said that such a strong family background has indeed become an indispensable trump card for her on the road ahead.
However, her strong background is certainly an important guarantee for her smooth life, and her determination not to change her original intention determines the direction of her life.
However, Chen Huilin has been sticking to her original intention for more than ten years since her debut, focusing on music and doing charity work in a low-key manner. She has been with her boyfriend for more than ten years, and there has been no scandal at all, which has a certain influence.
For example, there are many legends about Liu Qingshan that have been circulated for a long time. There is a lack of detailed understanding of this man who lives his own life in hiding except for work. He rarely communicates with others, so there is a lack of detailed understanding.
She is in this situation at this time. It cannot be said that she knows nothing about Liu Qingshan, at least she knows very little.
】
Besides, she has a straightforward temperament and will say whatever comes to her mind: "This is too mysterious. Should I write it? Master Jin wouldn't dare to write it like this, right?"
Although her words were full of distrust, she never meant to be sarcastic. Otherwise, no matter how rich a princess she is, she would not understand the world at all after being in the entertainment industry for so many years.
Therefore, her tone was more of curiosity, but the people around her were worried, fearing that Liu Qingshan, who was from the mainland, might misunderstand Chen Huilin's true temperament.
So Xu Shaoxiong quickly explained: "I watched this child grow up, Mr. Liu, she never meant to offend you at all. She has had this character for more than thirty years!"
Liu Qingshan laughed louder than Ren Jiahua: "How can I? Without understanding it in advance, I wouldn't be able to use her. Sister Kelly has a true temperament. She is my favorite type. If you have something to say, say it without hiding it." Stay!"
