Chapter 74 "Once Upon a Time" Script

Chapter 74 The script of "Huang Feihong"

In his previous life, most of the movies that Zhang Bixuan liked to watch were Tsui Hark's new martial arts movies in the 1990s. Although Zhang Yimou's missed martial arts movies also used many special effects, compared with Tsui Hark's well-documented "Huang Feihong", which made a laugh in the sea, and "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" that flew around the sky, the goods produced by Zhang Yimou can only be considered a martial arts film.

Even though he was later scolded by countless old Tsui Hark fans, "The Legend of Shushan", which completely brought Tsui Hark to a low point, was better than films such as "Heroes" and "The Promise".

From the elevator to the top floor of the office building where Xinyi City is located, there are more employees in Xinyi City in this office. Many people looked at Zhang Bixuan and others curiously and greeted him. Fortunately, the boss of Xinyi City Mai Jia and Lei Juekun were not there, otherwise Zhang Bixuan would be embarrassed.

Zhong Budao guided Zhang Bixuan and others to the door of Tsui Hark's studio and said, "It's director Tsui Hark's film studio, and it's not convenient for me to go in. Mr. Zhang, if you have something to do, you can go to Director Xu or President Shi."

Tsui Hark's film studio is independent of the New Art City Company. Tsui Hark focuses on making movies, and his wife, Shi Nansheng, is responsible for the trivial administrative work.

Zhang Bixuan smiled slightly, and Tang Xiaotian walked up to knock on the door with his hands in his arms, saying, "Is Director Tsui Hark here?"

A woman who sounded a little hoarse but was very pleasant: "Who is it? What's the matter with Tsui Hark? I'm Shi Nansheng!"

After the door opened, Zhang Bixuan saw a woman with short hair. Shi Nansheng was wearing a black suit and looked smart and tough. She was just speaking Mandarin. Zhang Bixuan was surprised to find that Shi Nansheng spoke very beautifully and had a heavy voice, and it sounded like a few Beijing accents. Zhang Bixuan spoke Mandarin very unstandardly, but he felt that Mandarin was better than Cantonese. Perhaps he was used to using Mandarin when he was a child. When he didn't speak Mandarin for many years, he still felt that Mandarin was easy to listen to.

Zhang Bixuan saw that Tsui Hark was in the studio, but he didn't come out, and was happily studying a script with another person.

"Oh, is Mr. Zhang? Are you here to visit this small place? Please sit down! I'll make a cup of tea for you!" Shi Nansheng said in surprise, "Master Tsui Hark, there is a noble man here, and I won't come out to see it!"

"Madam Xu, you don't have to be busy anymore! We are not thirsty!" Zhang Bixuan said politely.

Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "I am thirsty, so I can soak a cup for myself and then make a few cups for everyone?"

Shi Nansheng has always called Tsui Hark the "master", which shows how obedient she is to Tsui Hark. She is simply a model of a generation of good wife and mother. Although Shi Nansheng is the president of Tsui Hark's film studio, people usually only notice the famous director Tsui Hark. Few people think of Shi Nansheng, who is busy spending time on every movie of Tsui Hark, who is busy with investment and publicity. Every successful man always has a woman behind, and even Shi Nansheng's favorite title is only one: "Tsui Hark's woman."

Zhang Bixuan thought to himself that in the future, his women would call him master in front of outsiders, so that he could also live back to his "master" addiction.

"Director Xu is busy, I'm just here to take a look. I'll come and tell him something when I have time!" Zhang Bixuan said to Shi Nansheng.

Tsui Hark was stunned but put down the discussion script, got up and walked over, saw Zhang Bixuan's face, and said, "Spark guests! Mr. Zhang's visit really makes our studio shine. Hello, Mr. Zhang, if you have something to do, you can talk to me now."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" The person who had just discussed fiercely with Tsui Hark also came.

At that time, Zhang Bixuan saw that the person who discussed a script with Tsui Hark just now was Cheng Xiaodong, an important partner of Tsui Hark. Since filming the Ghost Story of Age in 1987, Cheng Xiaodong has become the martial arts director of many new martial arts movies of Tsui Hark. Many innovative actions imitated by later directors were designed by Cheng Xiaodong like a genius. Cheng Xiaodong always kept innovating. The female ghost in his design in "Age Ghost Story" was very good, but everyone was telling ghost stories. Later, "The Invincible of the East" flew around well, and the people in other imitators all ran to the sky. It can be seen that without Cheng Xiaodong, Tsui Hark's new martial arts film had to be at least discounted.

In 1988, there were many ghost movies in Hong Kong, and the imitations were "A Chinese Ghost Story". When we went to many cinemas that were not under Longteng Theater, the cinemas were often full of ghost spirits. Zhang Bixuan had long felt that the imitation ability of Hong Kong movies was so strong, but if a movie with a certain subject was not good, other film companies were too lazy to imitate. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with imitating. If everyone was imitating, it would be a disadvantage to not imitate Hong Kong movies. Hollywood was also imitating many of the creativity of Hong Kong movies. Hong Kong movies have largely integrated many plots of foreign movies into Hong Kong movies in the 1960s. However, Hong Kong movies frequently follow local movies, which can easily turn new themes into clichés. The use of the ideology should be to bring valuable foreign things without blushing and not use their own people's things.

Zhang Bixuan took out a stack of scripts and said, "I wrote this script myself, I want you to see how it is!"

The script is the first "Wang Feihong" series, "One of the Ambitions of the Ambitions of Huang Feihong". The plot in this film is based on Huang Feihong's stopping foreigners from selling Tang people to San Francisco to be piglets, and Liang Kuan became a disciple as the sub-line, interpreting a refreshing "Wang Feihong" plot. In each film in the "Wang Feihong" series, there are one or more villains with relatively strong force. Yan Zhendong, the martial arts master in the first film, died of a spoil. Before his death, he said to Huang Feihong: "Master Huang, no matter how powerful our martial arts are, we cannot beat foreign guns and cannons." He said a truth that if we fall behind, we will be beaten, and martial arts cannot beat guns and bullets, the product of Western technology.

This script is not only shocking, infectious and has commercial value, but also interspersed with heavy futures of the country and the martial arts of martial artists. "People are in the world, and they cannot help but live." It is said through the words of the villain martial artist Yan Zhendong. Zhang Bixuan smiled proudly, and he didn't believe that Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong were not moved by the plot.

Cheng Xiaodong said in confusion: "Don't Longteng have many big-name directors? Why do you have to give the script to our small studio?"

Zhang Bixuan smiled and said, "Let's take a look first. I want to hear what the director of our Longteng Film Company thinks."
