"Director Zhang, we will be filming our scenes together next. How should I act next?" Zhang Guorong approached Zhang Qiurui and asked nervously.
These days, Zhang Guorong has witnessed Zhang Qiurui's authority in the crew and the support of the internationally renowned director. Now he has to play a couple with Zhang Qiurui and have intimate scenes, which makes Zhang Guorong feel a lot of pressure.
In the movie "A Better Tomorrow", Zhang Qiurui played the role of Zhu Baoyi, who was the wife of Song Zijie played by Zhang Guorong. The two of them had many rival scenes, which was also Zhang Qiurui's advance acting practice for the next part of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
After all, the character Zhu Baoyi in "A Better Tomorrow" does not have many scenes, and the plot all revolves around the Song Zijie brothers, Ajian, Long Si and others.
"Don't be nervous. This is my first time acting too. These scenes don't require high standards. We can just rehearse and perform steadily." Zhang Qiurui saw that Zhang Guorong was nervous. She patted Zhang Guorong's shoulder gently, trying to relieve his pressure.
The next scene to be filmed is that Song's father was kidnapped by a killer and was discovered by Zhu Baoyi. During the struggle, Song's father died. Zhu Baoyi was rescued by Song Zijie who came back. Zhu Baoyi was scared and cried and threw herself into Song Zijie's arms, so there was only an intimate scene.
It's nothing.
"All departments are in place. It's the 56th scene of 'A Better Tomorrow'. For the first time, it's Ake." After the stage manager played cards, Zhang Qiurui quickly got into the state.
She heard some noise in Song's father's room, opened the door and saw Song's father fighting with the gangsters, and screamed, "Ah!"
The cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere. He frightenedly picked up the phone on the bedside table and threw it at the gangster.
Then he pulled Song's father into the kitchen.
"Cut! Very good, this scene is over. Prepare for the next one." Zhang Yimou temporarily replaced the position of executive director, replayed the shots that had just been shot, and nodded with satisfaction.
The staff acted quickly, some moving camera equipment, some adjusting lighting, and others arranging costumes and makeup for the actors.
The next few scenes were all filmed inside the Song family's house, including the fight between Song Zijie and the gangsters, which all took place inside the house.
........。
As July passed and August came, the filming of "A Better Tomorrow" came to an end.
In July, Haikuotiankong Films released another installment of "Mr. Vampire," which grossed 13 million yuan. In early August, "Mr. Vampire," marketed as a companion piece to "Mr. Vampire," sparked another wave of moviegoing. This "Mr. Vampire" not only retained the classic elements of "Mr. Vampire," but also incorporated many novel plots and special effects.
Especially the scene with the red and white devils, coupled with the classic horror music, scared the audience so much that they held their breath, their scalps tingled, and they got goose bumps. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
The weird images of the Red and White Devils came to life on the screen. That scene not only became a classic segment in the film, but also left a deep impression on the audience, leaving people with lingering fears that night after watching the movie.
The success of "Mr. Vampire" has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of Haikuotiankong Films. It not only consolidates its position in the field of horror movies, but also makes the audience have a label that the works produced by Haikuotiankong Films must be high-quality.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiurui also arranged for Li Shaohong and Gu Changwei to shoot "Zombie Family" and "Zombie Supreme".
Ever since "Boundless Sky" made zombie movies popular and even achieved great success at the box office, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and some small film and television companies have followed suit to shoot such films. However, most of these follow-up works lack novelty, have uneven quality, and cannot reach the box office of horror films produced by "Boundless Sky".
That day, in Cheng Shufen’s office at Huaxing.
"You all know that Xingchen Dahai is from the mainland. It takes more than a month to contact him by letter. Even if we can get in touch with him, I'm not sure I can convince Xingchen Dahai to come to the 4th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards ceremony." Cheng Shufen was on the phone. When she knew the purpose of the call, she frowned.
"Mr. Cheng, the Hong Kong Film Awards will be held in February next year with great fanfare, and they're advertised as being on par with the three major international film festivals. This time, our Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards will be presented in January, hoping to seize the initiative and attract more attention, so as to prevent the Hong Kong Film Awards from overshadowing our Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards.
If we can't invite popular lyricists and composers like Hai Kuo Tian Kong to this awards ceremony, then our awards ceremony will be much less attractive.
Moreover, the Starry Sea is not only mysterious and has never appeared in front of the media, but it also made international singers such as Zhang Guorong famous.
"Having Stars and Oceans at this awards ceremony is a real hit. Even the Hong Kong Film Awards can't compare to our influence and buzz," the person on the other end of the phone said anxiously.
"I think it's difficult, but I will try my best to contact Xingchen Dahai and persuade him to participate in the 4th Top Ten Golden Melody Awards." Cheng Shufen also understood the other party's intention. Various award ceremonies are originally a competition to leverage each other's strengths and enhance influence.
If you surpass me, not only will you be humble, but you will also naturally have more say and resources in the industry in the future.
There are only so many resources. If you take more, I will have less.
In addition, singers are better at acting than singing, and better at acting than singing, so the guests are lower than those at the film festival.
"Mr. Cheng, as long as Xingchen Dahai comes to participate in the 4th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, we will cover all round-trip transportation and accommodation, and also give Xingchen Dahai an additional 100,000 yuan for travel expenses.
This year, a new award will be presented at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards - the Golden Needle Award.
