Hollywood Lover Chapter 218

But Du Qifeng was not in the mood to listen to Zhang Dongcheng's long speech. He just put a script on the table, tapped it lightly a few times, and then said mysteriously: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know if this movie can let you Interested in a remake?"

  Looking at the script on the table, Zhang Dongcheng looked at the confident Du Qifeng suspiciously, and then slowly picked up the script.

Before seeing the name, Zhang Dongcheng was really afraid that it would be "Infernal Affairs" with three bright and blinding characters, but now it is 1997, "Infernal Affairs" has not come out at all, and Infernal Affairs is Liu Weiqiang's work, how could it appear In Du Qifeng's hands?

  With doubts, Zhang Dongcheng glanced at the name of the script, but his heart was shocked!

   "Dark War"!

  The gangster movie, it really is a gangster movie, I can't escape my fate!

   "Dark War" is a 1999 Hong Kong movie directed by To Qifeng, starring Andy Lau, Liu Qingyun and Meng Jiahui.

  Hua (Andy Lau), who has only four weeks left to live due to cancer, robs a financial company, snatches diamonds and takes hostages. Sheng (played by Lau Ching Wan), who has just been transferred as a civil servant and negotiator expert, rushes to the scene and wants to persuade Hua to surrender. Hua threatens to play a 72-hour game with Sheng and then escape. Sheng is deeply resentful for this. While escaping, Wah encounters a police roadblock, so he coerces Ting (played by Meng Jiahui) to pretend to be a couple, concealing his eyes and ears and successfully escapes. The unintentional encounter left a deep impression on the two.

  The seventy-two-hour game started with a screw that Hua sent to Sheng. It turns out that Hua has been monitoring Sheng and using business plans to rob the jewelry of Chen, the mastermind behind the transportation company next door to the finance company.

  Hua used Sheng Tiaohu to leave the mountain, pretended to be Chen, obtained gems from Chen's men, and fled the scene. During the investigation, Sheng discovered that Chen smuggled jewelry and had betrayed Hua's father many years ago. Hua rushed back from England after his father's death to avenge his father.

  In order to bring Hua to justice, Sheng could not agree to cooperate with Hua to deal with Chen. The Hua man disguised himself as a woman, used his wisdom to get Chen's 20 million huge sum of money, and then fled with gems. Chen was arrested by the police because of his trick. Sheng waited in the car, but was deceived by Hua again, and was convinced of the defeat.

  The next day, the Children's Cancer Foundation received a donation of 20 million. Three years later, Sheng accidentally met Ting on the bus and saw Ting wearing the gemstone necklace. It turned out that when Hua gave Ting the necklace, he said it was a fake. With this romance.

  The box office performance of the film is very good. The plot, director, and actors are among the best in Hong Kong films. The story of Liu Qingyun and Andy Lau fighting wits between good and evil, there is no chasing and stunts, but two people fighting wits to the end. Du Qifeng changed the tone of the gray in this film, turning sorrow into joy, heroes value heroes, and finally Liu Qingyun let Andy Lau go.

   And Andy Lau's performance is the pinnacle of his acting career, and it turns Liu Qingyun, who is recognized as an outstanding acting skill, into a foil.

  This film has a unique perspective and has become a milestone in Hong Kong police and gangster films. It won the first Academy Award winner in history for Andy Lau, who has been in the film for decades but has been called an idol actor, and won the Golden Bauhinia Best Screenplay Award for You Naihai.

  However, this was originally a movie that was supposed to appear next year, so why did it appear in front of me this year?

"Originally, Brother Xiang and I had high hopes for this script, and felt that this movie was enough to represent the best level of Hong Kong police and gangster movies. Mr. Zhang said that he wanted to remake a movie and go to the international stage. I think this movie was originally planned to start shooting next year. , it's time to step up to the stage ahead of time. Mr. Zhang has put so much effort into Hong Kong movies, we Hong Kong filmmakers naturally have to present the best movies!” Du Qifeng said, his eyes glowed with fanaticism, which stems from his love for Hong Kong films. I have infinite love for movies, and I sincerely hope that it can go on the world stage.

   Zhang Dongcheng was a little moved. Although he said that he had some subtext to use his fame to dig for gold, he was very sincere in presenting a movie that has not yet started shooting, and it will become a milestone in the future.

  Looking at the script in front of him, Zhang Dongcheng slowly picked it up.

"Perhaps, other films do not have a good blend of Chinese and Western cultures, but police and gangster films have a tacit understanding and resonance that other types of films cannot have. Here I am, Mr. Zhang, why don't you take a look first?" Xiang Huaqiang also said seriously, staring at Zhang Dongcheng's face, hoping to get some good news.

"Mr. Zhang is talking about a remake of a Hong Kong movie. I don't think there is any need to promote it like this. We can say that we fell in love with the same script. Then I organized the filming of the Hong Kong version, and you organized the filming of the American version. We released and released it at the same time. Keep the same caliber for external publicity, Mr. Zhang has the right to modify the script, and also has all the rights he wants." Although Du Qifeng is much older than Zhang Dongcheng, he dare not even take advantage of it, and said with a smile .

  Looking through the script, I saw the oriental wisdom and free and easy flying. This pinnacle of Hong Kong-produced movies does have quite strong strength, and it does have the background rhyme to make a difference in the Western market.

   In terms of business and business, the investment in this film should not be too large, and Zhang Dongcheng thinks it is still worth fighting for.

  However, this was the first time that he faced something that he was completely unsure of, and he inevitably felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zhang Dongcheng didn't want his status as a super director to be ruined by a box office failure.

  However, looking at the expectant faces of Xiang Huaqiang and Du Qifeng, Zhang Dongcheng secretly sighed in his heart. This time, he could make atonement for watching a lot of Hong Kong pirated movies when he was a child.

   "OK, I agree with Mr. Du's plan, and I will be in charge of the shooting of the American version. Then, how much should I pay for the copyright fee of the dark war?" Zhang Dongcheng tapped the script on the table and made up his mind.

  Now that you have made up your mind, put those unknown futures behind you and concentrate on facing the biggest challenge before you!

"Copyright fees? Hahaha, Mr. Zhang Dongcheng can do so much for Hong Kong movies, why is he talking about copyright fees? Mr. Zhang can just use it for free, without paying a penny!" Both Du Qifeng and Xiang Huaqiang laughed, Compared with Zhang Dongcheng's golden signature of a super Hollywood director, how much is the copyright fee worth?

"Hehe, it can be regarded as my respect for Mr. You. Such a good script can only be produced in a few years. I will pay one hundred thousand US dollars as the copyright fee." Zhang Dongcheng thought for a while, but shook his head and refused. Bit of kindness.

  Screenwriters, especially those who write such wonderful wit dramas, although one hundred thousand dollars is not much, it is enough to express their respect. In Hong Kong in 1997, US$100,000 was not a figure that anyone could underestimate.

   Such a movie can only be released in a few years!

   "Haha, Mr. Zhang is indeed a young hero, then I thank you for You Naihai!" Xiang Huaqiang laughed.

Well, now that we have decided to challenge the future and something that has never happened in history, then we should use all our energy and energy to move this "Dark War" to the West. Let the world be stunned by the wisdom from the East once again.

  Actor is the soul in the soul of a movie, and it fully bears the role of sublimating the movie and freezing the picture to eternity. A good actor can turn a bad movie into an Oscar-winning masterpiece, while a bad actor can play a role that can win the Oscar for Best Actor so that people can't laugh or cry, and they are coaxed off the stage. It is ridiculous to be crowned the title of Best Actor in the Golden Raspberry.

   Actors, star actors, superstar actors! Zhang Dongcheng slowly determined this direction in his heart.

In the original time and space, "Infernal Affairs" was jointly presented by the four major Hong Kong film stars Andy Lau, Huang Qiusheng, Tony Leung, and Zeng Zhiwei. Leonardo, Jack Nelson and other Hollywood super big names make the movie perfect.

As for the secret battle, Sihao's acting skills are no less than that of "Infernal Affairs". Whether I am the Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Yau Tsim Crime Squad in Hong Kong, this makes people laugh out loud, or send me to the police station. You win the free and easy and helpless!

  Cops and bandits, endless stories.

Superstar actors all have unparalleled box office appeal. Their figures attract the eyes of movie fans. s return.

   But who should replace Andy Lau and Lau Ching Wan?

   Zhang Dongcheng stayed in the hotel room, just staring at the script non-stop, which naturally aroused Victoria's dissatisfaction.

"I hate it. I agreed to accompany me to Hong Kong for a leisure trip. Why are you reading the script again? Do you want to work or me?" Victoria was wearing Zhang Dongcheng's white shirt, showing a clean and slender white With wonderful legs, he took away the script in his hand very dissatisfied, and then gave him a coquettish look.

"Haha, baby, you know that apart from you, I only have movies in my life. This movie is very good, I like it very much." Zhang Dongcheng rubbed his head embarrassingly, held Victoria, who was feigning anger, in his arms, and kissed her mouth, said softly.

"Okay, okay, but I hope you have time to stop, don't go in such a hurry, I'm really afraid I won't be able to catch up." Victoria quickly fell into Zhang Dongcheng's extremely sweet kiss, just hugging his neck, Her pretty face was flushed red, and her eyes were even more watery.

   "Why, do you still want to?" Zhang Dongcheng chuckled, and lightly bit Victoria's earlobe, but it made her tremble all over.
