nostalgic era

Chapter 211 Preparation
The script, the protagonist, and the main crew members are already in place, and a director who coordinates the overall situation is needed.

In fact, there were quite a few great directors in the 60s, such as Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Chu Yuan, Wang Tianlin, etc., it was their most active time.

Jiang Deming wanted to invite Zhang Che the most, but considering the camp, even if he invited him, he would probably not agree.

And Li Hanxiang is most famous for making romance films and literary films. Jiang Deming doesn't want his action films to have a prefix of love.

Hu Jinquan is more suitable for making ancient dragon-style martial arts films, which is somewhat of a literary problem.

But Jiang Deming's version of "Big Brother Tangshan" follows the route of a commercial film for the purpose of making money. If he is allowed to do it, it is likely to become an alternative version of "Dragon Inn".

Chu Yuan also has the same problem.

After much deliberation, Wang Tianlin is the most suitable one. In terms of artistic achievements, he can't compare with the previous young thinkers, but Wang Tianlin is the favorite director of those film companies. Although not all the works produced can be exquisite and exquisite, they meet the needs of public entertainment, and there are wonderful works from time to time.

His son Fatty Wang inherited his style, and he was able to shoot such classics as "The Leader of the Demon Cult", and he was also able to shoot such poor money as "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: Nine Suns".

Although he is often criticized, his director ability is beyond doubt, and there are few works that lose money.

Even "The Wind and Cloud in Australia", which was criticized as a bad movie among bad movies, had an equally frighteningly high box office.

As Fatty Wang's father, Wang Tianlin is even more capable in terms of ability, and his acting skills are not bad. In the movie "Dragon City Years", he is not inferior to the two movie kings.

In addition, his ability to lead apprentices is also excellent, and the great directors he brought out with one hand supported half of the Hong Kong film industry.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Deming chose him. Directors in the mainland are used to making literary and theme films, and it will take many years before they can make commercial films.

He has to cultivate his own team. Wars in this world must be on real battlefields, and the cultural field is also very important.

If you want to avoid being brainwashed, the best way is to occupy the market before the enemy takes action, which Li Zhenfan did.

He has made ghosts all over the world fascinated by Kung Fu. Although his nationality is from an ugly country, when people mention him, the first thing that comes to mind is Chinese Kung Fu.

Later Cheng Long and Lao Li also made a lot of contributions to this.

After confirming the candidate, Jiang Deming asked Chen Xueru to contact Wang Tianlin. The entertainment circle in Hong Kong City has always been a very realistic place, and everything depends on money. As long as the money is in place, other things can be discussed.

Moreover, directors are not as restricted as actors. I only heard that film and television companies train actors themselves, but I haven't heard of any company that trains directors themselves. There may be, but very few.

The same goes for crew members like gaffers and cameramen.

Apart from Wang Tianlin, Jiang Deming asked Chen Xueru to dig out the little fat man Yuanlong by the way.

In addition, there are the Yuan family father and son, Huang Feihong's direct heir Liu Jialiang and others. Jiang Deming wants to start an action movie, and these people are indispensable. They are all famous martial artists who have proved their talents.

Although their styles are different, they are not the great martial arts masters in the future. In front of Jiang Deming, the patron, they all have to be obedient and obedient.

And with Li Zhenfan here, I am not afraid that they will not be convinced. If they really are not convinced, then go on stage and practice.

The Hong family class and the family members are so arrogant, but they have to be obedient in front of Li Zhenfan!

Anyone who has watched Li Zhenfan's movies knows that no matter whether it is the eldest brother or the eldest brother, in front of Li Zhenfan, they can only be beaten.

Jiang Deming even thought about whether to make a "One Man's Martial Arts" in advance, and then bring all the famous action stars from later generations to form an all-star lineup.

After a few decades, if you have nothing to do, you can re-screen it to ensure that you will earn money.

For a movie with an all-star cast like this, few people care about the plot at all. The audience enters the movie theater to count the stars.

Just as Jiang Deming thought, after receiving the invitation, none of the people on his list refused.

There is no way, Jiang Deming gave too much, and he couldn't even refuse.

In less than two days, all the crew members arrived.

But when everything was ready, it was impossible to start filming right away.

What Jiang Deming wants is not the routine fighting of this era, but the effect of punching to the flesh, otherwise how could he shock those ghosts?

And in order to prevent this group of people from running away after learning, Jiang Deming felt that they should be put in a trap first, and when they want to betray, they must first consider whether they can bear the consequences.

The same goes for Li Zhenfan, but the contract can't bind him. Jiang Deming thought about it and came up with two ways, one is to subdue him, and the other is to inject money into his martial arts gym.

Jiang Deming glanced at Li Zhenfan who was practicing boxing with his shirt off. It's hard to say whether he can convince him.

Jeet Kune Do has always been good in actual combat, especially in the hands of the founder Li Zhenfan.

There are many action superstars. Jiang Deming doesn't know if he can fight others, but Li Zhenfan can definitely fight, and his combat effectiveness is not weak.

If it was really a life-and-death struggle, Xu Zheng could solve him without Jiang Deming's action.

But if it is a competition, it is not necessarily the case. After all, Jiang Deming and Xu Zhengxue are the first to subdue the enemy, how to subdue them?Naturally, it is to attack the harm. In this way, even if it does not die, it will be disabled.

Jiang Deming also pointed out that Li Zhenfan would film for him to earn money!It is impossible to lay a dead hand on him.

It seems that the only way to do this is to inject capital, which is deeply bound to Li Zhenfan.

So Jiang Deming called Li Zhenfan and told him directly that he wanted to invest in his martial arts gym.

Although Li Zhenfan had heard from Jiang Deming that he was going to inject capital into him, he was still somewhat uneasy that he hadn't implemented it in the end.
Now that Jiang Deming mentioned it, he agreed without saying a word.

If you want to open a martial arts gym, you need to spend a lot, especially since Li Zhenfan is not well-known at this time, and those who are willing to worship him as a teacher are basically losers to his opponents. You can't beat people everywhere just to recruit disciples.

Now that Jiang Deming is willing to inject capital, his plan to expand the martial arts school can be advanced. After the movie is finished, I believe there will be many people who will come to apprentice.

The two signed the contract on the spot.

Jiang Deming has been planning for a long time. Today, the first meeting of the film crew, he directly brought the lawyer over.

After Li Zhenfan was settled, it was Yuan's father and son, Hong Jinbao, Liu Jialiang brothers and others.

Except for Yuan Xiaotian who is a bit famous, everyone here belongs to the bottom of the film industry. Although Liu Jialiang has been a martial arts instructor, he is only a few tens of dollars more than Hong Jinbao and the others, which is not worth mentioning.

Facing Jiang Deming's lure, they didn't know how to resist, so they agreed on the spot and signed the contract of sale.

Yuan Xiaotian hesitated for a while, but his son signed it, so he, as an old man, had no choice but to follow suit.

However, Jiang Deming is not that kind of unscrupulous capitalist. As long as these people work hard, they will get the treatment they deserve, even better than outsiders. He just bought himself an insurance. Easy to go wrong.

Afterwards, Jiang Deming assigned technical personnel such as directors and photographers to a group and asked them to learn from those in Hollywood.

Let's shoot some commercials first, and it just so happens that he is going to promote Dami Technology's products in Hong Kong City, such as walkmans and rice cookers.
After the filming of these commercials is over, I believe they have almost gotten along well.

As for Li Zhenfan and those Wuzhi, they were arranged by Jiang Deming in another group, and told them some ideas of future action movies, so that these people can figure out a suitable routine.

Naturally, Li Zhenfan is the main character here. The original version of "Big Brother Tangshan" and other movies with Li Zhenfan as the main character are all in a realistic style.

For example, in the last part of the fight in "The Way of the Dragon", you can see something. At normal speed, it may be like that, but after slowing down, you will find the essence inside, which is a bit scary.

This is also the reason why Li Zhenfan was able to conquer the ghosts.

In martial arts, the Yuan family and Hong Jinbao are both from theater troupes, only Liu Jialiang is from traditional martial arts, have you heard of Foshan Wuyingjiao?He will!

The real Foshan Wuying kick naturally cannot be volleyed and kicked, it is just a technique, a technique where you can't guess which kick he will use before the opponent kicks.

Liu Jialiang will only watch the movie "Big Brother Tangshan", because he is more suitable for making period films. Action films are originally divided into two types: freehand and realistic.

Modern films must be realistic, otherwise they will look nondescript.

Liu Jialiang has no objection to this. Why not do it if you have money and don't have to work, and you can learn something?
In the next few days, Jiang Deming, in addition to teaching the concept of action movies to others on the crew, also visited the Dami Science and Technology Port City branch.

The communication company that cooperates with Lao Guo is now building a framework. According to Lao Guo's meaning, it is slowly shifting its focus to the mainland.

But after Jiang Deming thought for a while, he still persuaded him.

Nowadays, those technologies are still immature, and it is more suitable to do experiments in Hong Kong City first. After success, they will be sold to Southeast Asia, and finally returned to the mainland.

Because the area in the mainland is too wide, and many infrastructures have not kept up, it is really not an easy task to build base stations everywhere at this time.

After the communication technology matures, it will be promoted in several major cities first, and then slowly radiate to the surrounding areas.

Before Jiang Deming left the mainland, he recruited a group of newcomers whose main job was to research pagers.

This kind of thing that appeared in 1948 is actually not very widely used, and Han Xian is even less visible.

The communication company established by Rice Technology, Guo Shi, and Runhua is called Huawei, and the pager will be the first product promoted by this new company.

In this era, the pager can be regarded as a cutting-edge product, and it can be produced in large quantities, which can already prove the strength of Huawei Communication.

Before the pager was manufactured, what Lao Guo had to do was to build a large base station in Hong Kong City, set up an observatory, and recruit enough operators.

The observatory in the era of pagers also took into account the function of leaving messages.

Jiang Deming was exhausted from running back and forth between the two ends, and he even took time to attend Fang Jinxin's wedding, and met Chen Wanxian who would later establish the Chinese Stock Exchange with Fang Jinxin.

This person is not bad, but he is too greedy and has no bottom line. In the play, the reason why Fang Jinxin fell out with him is because Chen Wanxian intends to manipulate the stock market and accept black money.

Therefore, Jiang Deming has no intention of recruiting him.

After attending Fang Jinxin's wedding, Jiang Deming went back and forth to the commercial shooting site.

The commercial script for the Walkman this time is similar to the one in Ugly Country, and it is still the way of the Blue Green Factory series, but this time the heroine has changed from Audrey Hepburn to the fairy sister Xia Meng, and the heroine who is known as the queen of martial arts Zheng Peipei is the Mrs. Hua in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

The looks of these two people when they were young were very capable. In this era, if you search the entire Hong Kong City, you can't find anyone more beautiful than them.

The speed of filming in Hong Kong City is world-renowned. A film can be completed within a week, and commercials can be completed even faster.

After editing the film, Jiang Deming immediately put it on Li's and TVB.

At present, there are only these two free TV stations in Hong Kong City, and Jiashi will have to wait a few years before it will appear.

As soon as the advertisement was broadcast, it caused a sensation in Quancheng.

The commercials are shot well, the music is nice, and the two heroines are goddesses in the eyes of the public.

Only the next day, many viewers have already called and written to Rice Technology to ask when it will be released.

Facing the enthusiastic audience, Jiang Deming can only agree to release it before next month, and several advertisements will be released one after another. Those who are interested can pre-order.

It's a thief who plays hunger marketing.

However, it was only possible to do this a few times before, and if you do too much, it will be considered a monkey trick, which will only have the opposite effect.

At this point, the preparations for "Big Brother Tangshan" are finally complete.

Except for the heroine who was replaced by Zheng Peipei because she was too young, the rest were basically played by the original cast.

Of course, the script has been changed beyond recognition, and the original plot is too watery. If it hadn't created a precedent for action movies, this movie would be no different from those bad movies.

Jiang Deming rewrote a story based on some movies he had watched. Although the main plot is still about Zheng Chaoan's experience in Bangkok, the core is completely different.

After the film was launched, except for the first day on the set, Jiang Deming basically appeared every few days.

This time he issued a death order to shoot well, so naturally Wang Tianlin and the others didn't dare to fool around. In addition, it was the first realistic action film, and everyone had no experience, so they had to fumble while shooting.

The foreigners who were kidnapped by Jiang Deming from Hollywood were already stunned. They were all well-known in the industry, but it was the first time they knew that a movie could be made like this.
