Black is just a color, not all shades. Even if it spreads over half the drawing paper.
Gangs are not the only ones in Hong Kong City.
Not to mention the large and small martial arts schools, both good and bad. There are real experts in some martial arts schools who don't dare to mess with them. And some martial arts schools are just a showpiece created by publicity and gimmicks. They look good but fall apart after a fight.
With the explosion of action genre films, they have gradually become a major business card of Hong Kong City and Hong Kong films around the world. A special professional group is also booming and attached to the film and television industry.
In the headquarters of the Longhu Martial Arts Union in Central, a large group of people were eating hot pot around the stove.
It was a hot summer day, but one of them was feeling cold all over, and the hot mutton was already covered in ice before he could even put it into his mouth.
"A-Liang, when will you be able to use your Bingyun energy freely? Previously on the set, Director Xu just asked you to have a light snowfall to brighten the atmosphere, but you were hit by a hailstorm, and several machines were damaged. . If it weren’t for Lord Ding’s sake, I’m afraid you’d have to lose money this time.” A man who looked like a Shaolin bronze man directly stretched out his hand to fish out the food in the hot pot with boiling oil, looking a little dirty. On the other hand, the people around him seemed to be used to it and didn't care, and they all ate happily.
The man known as A Liang had a simple and honest face. Facing the bronze man's accusation, he just smiled carefully, which was very different from his domineering and sharp brilliance. Contrast.
Bang!
The door opened, and a person was wearing a black leather windbreaker and big sunglasses on his face, covering the three scars on the corner of his right eye, but the dense blisters on his left cheek could not be covered at all.
Seeing this man coming in, everyone who was enjoying hot pot stood up one after another and shouted respectfully: "Master Ding!"
Dingye is the president of the Longhu Martial Arts Union. He has been in the industry for many years, has senior qualifications and has wide connections.
Many internationally renowned action superstars have asked him to be their stand-in.
With Ding Ye's kung fu, connections, and strength, if his face wasn't so terrifying, even being a villain would affect the movie's rating, and he might even be directly banned from films just because of his face. There is no way he is just a behind-the-scenes stand-in or martial artist, but he is also internationally renowned.
Even so, Ding Ye rarely takes action himself now. Most of the time, he is a martial arts instructor on the set.
Because of his wide network of contacts, he had a lot of work to do, so he recruited more than half of the dragon and tiger martial arts masters in the entire port city to join him.
People who have kung fu and are capable do not always use their kung fu to do evil or violate taboos. There are also many people who regard this as a way to make a living. Those who are ambitious also want to be discovered and become a big star with their good skills, and enjoy the luxury of the entertainment industry in a glorious way.
"A Liang! Tong Tou! Guo Bin! The three of you come in with me, while the others continue to eat." Ding Ye explained. The bronze man also had A Liang, the slender boy, and another one with long hair who looked a little small. The handsome man put down the food in his hands at the same time, wiped the oil stains on his clothes, and then followed Master Ding into the inner room.
After the four of them sat down respectively, Master Ding took out a stack of scripts and put them on the table, and then said: "This time, Director Xu is the one to open the film, with a big cast and several popular actors. I asked Director Xu to intercede, Ah Liang and Tongtou respectively play the right-hand man of the opposite number, Guo Bin... you are the second male lead, I read the script, and the scene when he dies at the end, if performed well, can win over the audience."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them were excited.
There are roles, and there are a lot of scenes. This is a rhythm that completely moves from behind the scenes to the stage.
For Guo Bin, there is a positive role, and Tongtou and A Liang are not jealous.
Some things must be eaten by God.
It doesn’t matter what your true strength is, whether your skills are great or not, and it doesn’t matter who you are or what your character is. In some industries, just look at one face.
Your face is handsome and upright, so you are a positive character, the protagonist. If you are ugly, or you are born with an evil face, then I'm sorry... No matter how good your acting skills are, you can't play a good person.
"Master Ding...how could you be so generous this time?" Tongtou has been following Master Ding for the longest time, and he still knows many rules in the industry. Filmmaking is a multi-interest industry, and it would be too 'simple' to just make money at the box office.
It must integrate box office, copyright, peripherals, advertising and star-making.
Even these are just the benefits on the surface, there are more hidden and hidden benefits.
Therefore, no matter how great Mr. Ding's reputation is, he can only say that his brothers have work to do and can start work. Characters that actually have lines, scenes, and scenes are not that easy to get.
Those are the bosses who invest money and divide the profits.
"Recently, there have been moves in several big societies, and there is also a strong dragon crossing the river. Director Xu's new play must be released, so we are given a few more roles, so that our union can arrange more good people to station on the crew. Stay safe." Mr. Ding's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not tell the whole truth.
The truth is of course more complicated.
If you just find a bodyguard, the cost is still a bit high.
You must know that Director Xu's drama may not be the highest-grossing, but it must be the most popular.
This may also stem from the fact that this director is good at shaping characters.
The financial backer responsible for investing in this drama is none other than Shenghe, who is currently in a precarious situation.
Under the pressure of Liuhemen, Shenghe's own power was severely suppressed, and the territory under his control continued to shrink.
Now, to support the financial operation of the entire gang, it can only rely on some "sunshine" industries.
Because of this, Shenghe invested in Director Xu's new film, hoping to gain a foothold in the film market so that he could get some funds to maintain the gang.
However, because it is a desperate move, I am also worried that someone will deliberately sabotage it.
Shenghe's internal strength was shrinking to prepare for Liuhemen's surprise attack, so he could only use part of his benefits to win the assistance of the Longhu Martial Arts Union.
Master Ding naturally knew the danger involved, but he still took it.
The money in the entertainment industry is so lucrative. He has been in this industry for so long, but he can only help others. He sells the lives of his brothers, and sometimes he can't even earn back the medical expenses after injuries.
If you miss this opportunity and want to open a gap and get in... it won't be that easy.
The Rakshasa Evil God from the Liuhe Sect came with great momentum, and before anyone arrived, it had already affected many power structures in the entire port city.
Some are looking forward to it, some are resisting, and some are just watching in an attempt to take advantage.
Everyone has his own thoughts and plans.
And on the mountain road far away, Feng Linwen had just walked down the mountain, taking a figure-footed step, squinting his evil eyes, and looking evil. From a distance, he looked like he was not a good person.
A pair of mandarin ducks who were bombing in the woods at the foot of the mountain suddenly became weak when they saw such a ferocious guy.
The man turned around and ran away without even taking his pants.
The woman shivered into a ball and could only cover her face, regardless of the white flowers on her body.
"Sister-in-law! Let me borrow the car!" Feng Linwen pointed to the car parked aside and said politely, then opened the door and got in. He turned the key, released the clutch and stepped on the accelerator...
"Wait...which one is braking?" Feng Linwen carefully recalled the distant memory. The car was already driving in a serpentine curve towards the distance.
