Chapter 643 The sad character
So even though "Partners" and "The Pursuit of Happiness" are both inspirational films.
There are still fundamental differences.
The shooting methods of the two films are also completely opposite. Regardless of the differences in success or failure, inspirational level, etc., "Partners" obviously uses a reverse chronological shooting method. This shooting method is more challenging than "The Pursuit of Happiness".
The director’s shooting skills.
However, this may be due to the strong story shaping skills of the two screenwriters. Otherwise, no matter how good the director is, it will not be easy to make such a reverse sequence work, especially if it is so good.
I sat in front of the computer and thought for a while.
Chen Jiahui still chose to write "Partners" first. On the one hand, he promised Teacher Yu Min. Even if people think he said it casually, since he said it, if there is not even a shadow, even if Teacher Yu Min doesn't say it on the surface.
What, but I will definitely feel uncomfortable.
On the other hand, "Partners" is more in line with the situation of the Hong Kong business community.
Never start a business with your best friend.
As for the script of "The Pursuit of Happiness", if you don't think of it, forget it. Now that you have remembered it, there is no reason to let it go.
My uncle has already gone abroad to set up a team, and Ye Xuanhe and Ning Ning also rushed there two days ago, and they have probably started official filming. In a sense, Chen Jiahui is also tentatively heading abroad.
Although the market in Hong Kong is huge and there is no problem in accommodating movies with a box office of billions, there is always a lack of revenue from channels.
For example, if you invest 100 million to make a movie in a Hong Kong city, the return rate is usually three times the total investment, but in foreign countries it is less than twice that, because the remaining double will be made up through channels in addition to the box office.
It's not that Chen Jiahui will not go abroad for development for the time being. His popularity in the Hong Kong City has not yet reached its peak. Going abroad at this time will undoubtedly bring shame on himself.
Like Chen Gang and Li Tianlong, they went abroad because they were too well-known. The only way to get better development was to go abroad. Otherwise, they would only be paid hundreds of millions per film. There really weren't many production companies in Hong Kong to give them.
Well, the pressure is too much. Give them 100 million. The production company’s investment in this movie is at least 300 million. If you want to make it back, it will cost you 1 billion at the box office. How many movies in Hong Kong can make more than 1 billion at the box office in a year!?
On the other hand, when you go abroad, it is only about 13 million, which is basically the price of a second-tier artist. The key point is that they themselves also want to develop on a larger stage, and there are also foreign investors who are willing to hire them.
Unlike Chen Jiahui.
He is well-known in Hong Kong. He is a two-time actor and a well-known investor in the industry. The remake rights of "Infernal Affairs" were also sold to foreign production companies. However, major foreign productions did not send invitations to him. They occasionally sent them
They are all characters like soy sauce gangsters who appear for less than a minute or two.
Nothing interesting.
Therefore, Chen Jiahui knows very well that if he wants to develop abroad, there are only two ways. The first is to follow the development route explored by Li Tianlong and Chen Gang, and first increase his reputation to a level similar to that of theirs... It's just that it's difficult.
Very big.
Because Chen Gang and Li Tianlong are valued by foreign production companies, they are good at kung fu and can continue the kung fu film market opened up by another action star. Chen Jiahui does not have any kung fu and relies solely on acting skills. There are many foreign artists with acting skills!
Even the three major performance methods commonly used in Hong Kong City are all performance forms developed abroad. Therefore, the best way for him to go abroad is to take the investor route. After all, who is willing to watch Hong Kong City artists who have no skills?
!?
It is estimated that the people who are willing to watch it are only the audience on Harbor Street.
However, the movie "Buddha Gang" has already been negotiated with foreign countries. On the first day of the new year, it will be released simultaneously around the world. Like the movie that once won a box office of 100 million US dollars in Hong Kong City, "Buddha Gang" also adopts a once-in-a-lifetime approach.
The entire release was sold out through a blackout, so even if "Gubu Dagang" had a high box office abroad, it had little to do with investors such as Chen Jiahui.
It's just that if "Buddha Gang" really does well at the box office abroad, Chen Jiahui, the leading actor, will also become famous. If he is more shameless, he can also follow the example of several other artists and put "International Superstar" in front of his name.
A big character.
After writing some, Chen Jiahui went to bed.
He doesn’t have a photographic memory. Even if he has seen it, he has to sort it out slowly, and then recall the subsequent plot according to the progress of the content. This is unlike Hong Kong-style movies such as "Dark War", which have many movies that are easy to remember after watching them once.
A shot that is hard to forget.
Encounter on the bus.
Vomiting blood in the cafe.
Take out the deed to the house and take out a gun.
Confrontation on the stairs,
The final showdown in the car.
Just sort out these plots according to memory, and then sort and fill in the content. Unlike "Partners", he really didn't remember it clearly, especially the plots in it were all messed up.
certainly.
Chen Jiahui also has a memory point about this movie... Cheng Dongqing kissed the goddess forcibly and took a year off from school after contracting tuberculosis. There is another memory point after that. The successful Cheng Dongqing met his first love goddess again after many years, but that
Yes, the goddess is holding a little boy.
To this day, Chen Jiahui still doesn’t know who the little boy belongs to, but Chen Jiahui has seen teacher Yu Min’s speech, and one of the sentences included “Many girls who went abroad ended up marrying foreigners, while most of the boys found ways to
Picking up your girlfriend, in addition to these, there is a high probability that girls who go abroad will cheat on their boyfriends."
This is not Chen Jiahui’s malicious speculation, but what Teacher Yu Min said personally in a speech.
Therefore, based on his remarks, Chen Jiahui felt that the little boy who did not look like Hong Kong City's skin color must be the daughter of the leading female figure, Su Mei, who married a foreign woman.
Overall.
"Partners" is a very sad movie.
"The person you regard as your destiny and have no hesitation will eventually let you go."
The saddest thing in life is "the success that I have finally achieved. I thought that when we meet again, the other person will think highly of me and show regret, but in fact, they don't care at all. Your so-called success is just your success.
It has nothing to do with the person who put you down.”
This is the case for Cheng Dongqing.
At the end of the movie, he is very successful, but it is only his success.
Lying on the bed, Chen Jiahui suddenly remembered something, so he got up and went to the study again, turned on the computer, and immediately wrote out what he had just thought of.
Since they are all green.
Why not go a little deeper?
For example, Cheng Dongqing was busy working in the port city, and it started to rain abroad. A blond foreigner appeared and took the female lead to her residence under an umbrella.
"It's raining, and it's him who appears in front of me, not you."
"I have a cold and a fever, he is the one who buys me medicine, not you"
"Cheng Dongqing, when I needed you most, why couldn't you show up in time!?"
"So, I married him"
Chen Jiahui felt that Teacher Yu Min wouldn't mind if he wrote it this way.
