The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 294 Action Guidance Hong Jinbao

It's August and the weather is still hot.

In front of a building in the New Territories of Hong Kong Island, the crew of "Prison Break" is worshiping. On the altar in front of them, there are not only pig heads, fruits, but also a statue of Guan Gong.

Fatty Wang twitched his lips, muttering words with a serious expression.

Behind him are Huo Siyan, Zhang Zhen, and a group of actors from Hong Kong Island, among them is Hong Tianming, the son of Hong Jinbao, a tycoon in the Hong Kong circle.

Li Shengyao did not lean over, but stood far away.

When the firecrackers sounded, Fatty Wang gave out a red envelope, so he went over and took a red envelope, which was considered a big win.

Li Shengyao came this time, not to participate in the launch ceremony of "Prison Break", nor to care for Huo Siyan.

But to meet Hong Jinbao, one of the best motion design masters on Hong Kong Island.

In his opinion, the greatest wealth of Hong Kong movies at present is the masters of action design, such as Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zibao, and Yuan Heping. Among them, Zhen Zibao and Yuan Heping have often designed movements for Hollywood movies in recent years.

Since "Let's Punch, Dad" has a lot of boxing plots, it is natural to invite excellent action directors.

Yuan Heping is currently working as an action director for Feng Delun's "Jing Wu Family".

And Donnie Yen is acting as the action director in "Seven Swords". Later, Song Seung Heon temporarily broke the appointment and did not play in Seven Swords. Donnie Yen will save the scene and play the big brother of "Seven Swords".

There was no time for these two, so Li Shengyao could only look for Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao is naturally capable. In Li Shengyao's previous life, Hong Jinbao won the Best Action Design Award at the Academy Awards six times.

The movements designed by Hong Jiaban are clean and neat, tough and realistic, fast and fierce, and have a strong visual impact.

Let him act as the action director of "Let's Punch, Dad", and he will definitely be able to play well.

In order to express his sincerity, Li Shengyao specifically asked Fatty Wang to reserve a place for Hong Tianming among the main actors of "Prison Break".

Hong Jinbao is getting old, and now he is dedicated to helping Hong Tianming.

In the first half of this year, he brought Hung Tim Ming in one or two films, called "Hong Kong Island Chef" and "Longwei Father and Son".

"Longwei Father and Son" has not yet been released, but Lee Sing Yew knows that it is also a movie without splashes.

It is said that Hong Tianming has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but his overall temperament is very good-looking, not as fierce as a martial arts master, his movements are not smooth, and his acting skills are average.

Not to mention comparing with top kung fu actors like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, they can't compare with Baoqiang.

Baoqiang's Feng Yuxiu is really amazing.

However, Hong Tianming may not have much stardom, but it is much better than Fang Taizi. At least Hong Jinbao does not have to worry about going to prison to visit his son.

In order to show his sincerity, Li Shengyao asked Fatty Wang to invite Hong Tianming to star in "Prison Break", and Hong Jinbao also agreed to come to meet Li Shengyao.

Logically speaking, courteous reciprocity, since Hong Jinbao has nothing to do now, he should agree to Li Shengyao's invitation.

But it has not yet been realized, and it is hard to say now.

Li Shengyao was mainly worried that Hong Jinbao's body would not allow it.

Judging from Hong Jinbao's resume in the past few years, the frequency of his acting is obviously declining.

The year before last, he starred in the movie "Summer Killer" and acted as an action director in "SWAT Flying Dragon".

Last year, he guest starred in "Around the World in Eighty Days", and then acted as an action director in "Dragon Rebirth".

In the first half of this year, I took my son to work on two very mediocre films, which took only three or four months.

If Li Shengyao remembers correctly, in his previous life, Hong Jinbao would act in "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Raptor" next year.

"Slaying the Wolf" is not the male lead, it can be regarded as the second male lead, "The Raptor" is the third male lead, the Raptors are starring Vanness Wu and Shawn Yue, and Hong Jinbao has very few roles.

The combined shooting time of these two films did not take four months.

Artists in the Hong Kong film industry have always worked very hard. Except for Leung Chiu Wai, who is relatively Buddhist, others can't wait to rush to work every day.

Hong Jinbao was a desperate Saburo when he was young, but now he has significantly reduced production.

Li Shengyao felt that his body did not allow it.

He hoped to see Hong Jinbao later, this kung fu master still had energy.

Not long after, Hong Jinbao came over, not more than 1.7 meters tall, but he was indeed strong, and his eyes were extremely intimidating.

Fatty Wang, a group of colleagues from Hong Kong Island, saw Hong Jinbao, put down his work in a hurry, and rushed over to say hello.

Li Shengyao fell behind quietly.

Hong Jinbao naturally noticed Li Shengyao, waved his hands casually to Fatty Wang and the others, and then walked forward with a smile on his face, "Hi Director Li, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Hong Jinbao's Mandarin is very standard.

Qi Xiaofu sang opera when she was a child, and she studied Peking Opera, so she is very good at Mandarin.

"Brother Sanmao, you are welcome. I am a fan of your movie. I have watched almost all of your movies."

Hong Jinbao's early films were all funny, and Lee Sing Yew has actually seen almost all of them.

When Hong Jinbao heard the words, there was a flash of kindness in his eyes, and then he dragged Li Shengyao to sit in the studio.

The meeting place between Li Shengyao and Hong Jinbao was set at the crew of "Prison Break", not in the hotel teahouse. In fact, it was Hong Jinbao's intention, and the purpose was naturally to save face for his son.

Soon after, the field workers packed up the tables and chairs, as well as fruit and tea.

Hong Jinbao personally poured a cup of tea for Li Shengyao, "Director Li, I want to thank you this time, otherwise, my brat would have no filming."

Hong Tianming has no talent, is not as handsome as Nicholas Tse, and is not popular with the audience, so he can only be led by Hong Jinbao.

Li Shengyao said a few words of politeness.

Hong Jinbao continued: "Director Li, you are a great director, what do you think about Tim Ming's future?"

Hong Jinbao was helpless with his son.

Hong Tianming has no skills, can't study, can't act, so he can't be allowed to stay at home every day.

I can only be cheeky and take it with me to eat.

He knows about Li Shengyao. This big director is like a touchstone figure in the mainland TV drama circle. Almost every drama can be popular. The popular Zhao Yang and Hao Lei have shot commercials all over the world. It is said that Zhao Yang has already made a lot of money. Hundreds of millions.

He wanted to ask Li Shengyao what he thought.

"It should be more general."

Since Hong Jinbao asked, he should tell the truth, Hong Jinbao already had the answer in his heart.

"I feel that Tim Ming's aura is a bit weaker, he doesn't have the evil spirit of a martial arts master, and now that kung fu movies are getting worse and worse, it's hard for him to stand out."

Hong Jinbao sighed, "Who says it's not, it's really difficult."

Pity the heart of father and son in the world.

If Li Shengyao has children in the future, as long as he doesn't break the law and doesn't lose his fortune, he doesn't care whether he is an otaku or a waste material. If he has the ability, he will give him resources.

Whether it's an elementary school teacher, a taxi driver, or a gnawing old man, he can accept it.

The two chatted for a while, and then they talked about the action director of "Let's Punch, Dad". Li Shengyao explained the plot in detail, and also mentioned the cost of Hong's class, which is 300 million in total, and then looked forward to looking at Hong Jinbao.

"I didn't want to be so tired. The doctor said I wanted to rest, but you came here in person and took such good care of Tianming. Of course, I can't refuse you. Give me a few days to prepare, and I will take someone to Beijing when the time comes."

Hong Jinbao spoke very frankly.

Li Shengyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Brother Sanmao, we will make a very different movie, and the name of Hongjiaban will once again be heard all over Asia."
