Since 1983

After graduating, He Bing was admitted to Renyi. He has been playing tricks, occasionally doing film and television dramas, and playing Zhuge Ke in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Li Qi is 40 years old this year. He was born in Shaanxi Arts and Crafts. He started drifting north in 1991 and lived in a basement with his family for six years.

Xu Fei took the actors to the guest house and strengthened them intensively. From Han Sanping's point of view, first of all, Li Qi's image is very suitable, and then listen to He Bing's lines:

Go back to Master and Madam, Zhang Dianhu's rent is still collected!

That won't work, it has to be done according to the contract! The landlord ↗↘ has no food left!

Liangzi, since Mr. Zhang is here, let our mules, horses, and those big animals rest together!

have to!

Han Sanping felt relieved.

Teacher Xu used a little spare time to instill the comedy concept of Party A and Party B with the actors, picking up the script sentence by sentence. Say half a month is half a month, and when the time comes, pat your ass and leave.

Leaving the big gangster cursing.

He's not Nacho either, for real.

On March 3, the Third Session of the Eighth CPPCC National Committee was held.

Today's participants are people from the literary and art circles, and the topic of discussion is a gift for the return of Hong Kong. When it was Xie Jin's turn to speak, the 72-year-old man's sonorous and forceful voice shook the audience:

My title is A Huge Art Project for Hong Kong's Return.

Recently, there has been a lot of momentum for imported films, allowing audiences to see American blockbusters while laughing at Chinese blockbusters. Said that you can only shoot the main theme and only present gifts...

I want to say that foreign countries are also the main theme, and foreign countries also have gifts. Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the victory of World War II, what did they shoot? Schindler's List, D-Day and more.

Last year I watched Schindler's List in Hong Kong, and said that if I have tens of millions of dollars in my pocket, I will work hard, and it is not impossible to make a film.

As a result, the news changed when it was reported to the newspapers. They said that I wanted to shoot Nanjing Massacre and wanted to shoot Schindler's level, so many Japanese reporters came to interview me.

Although it was a joke, I didn't tell a joke. Why do foreign countries have this kind of movie, but we don't?

Take Hong Kong's handover as an example. Blood is thicker than water in a swarm. That's fine, but why not expand it?

Talk about that period of history, talk about the two countries, talk about wars, talk about reparations, and then cut off Hong Kong Island!

When Xie Jin talked about the excitement, he slammed the table, and finally spit out: I want to shoot The Opium War, so that people will remember how Hong Kong was cut off!

Buzz buzz!

Aroused a thousand waves, regardless of the discipline of the meeting, they were talking about it.

After finally calming down, Xie Jin continued to elaborate on his thoughts, and finally said:

In two years, Hong Kong will return to the motherland. At such an important historical moment, if Chinese filmmakers cannot produce a film that reproduces that period of history, we will be ashamed of history.

Wow, boom!

The applause continued, it didn't matter what other people said, and a cigarette sale in Humen had already begun.

...

If someone else took the lead, the repercussions would not be so great, even if it was Zhang Guoshi and Chen Dao. Xie Jin is very special in China, and has great political influence.

After the meeting, the sky is filled with:

Xie Jin is planning to shoot The Opium War!

Xie Jin reappears history as a tribute to Hong Kong's return!

Great art project without precedent!

And he is a man of action, and he will come when he says it.

That night, in a certain hotel, Cheng Zhigu said with a distressed face: It's so difficult for me to retire, I retired last year, and this year I have to work for you again.

Don't talk nonsense, can you help me?

Help, help.

The two were old friends when they were in Shanghai, and Cheng Zhigu couldn't help but nod, and asked, Do you have the script?

Looking for someone to write.

How much money is prepared?

It must cost more than ten million dollars.

Ahem!

Cheng Zhigu coughed and said firmly, You can't raise so much money, and even if you do, you will definitely lose money. According to the current rules, you need at least 300 million at the box office.

I plan to find money from the public, and my house is also ready to be mortgaged. As for the box office... this kind of movie itself is meaningful.

You can only find private funds. Where can the public get the money for you to shoot? Let me run around for you.

Cheng Zhigu is tired, the Opium War!

It's not just a battle and it's over, you have to make it clear before and after.

After the completion of the industrial revolution, Britain needed a huge market to receive goods, so it found China. As a result, China had a trade surplus and earned a lot of silver.

Britain began to smuggle opium, the poison of opium smoke is a disaster that has never happened to China in three thousand years.

After Lin Zexu sold cigarettes in Humen and expelled the British, how did Queen Victoria react, how did Congress react, until the two countries went to war, and then went through several stages.

In the end, the Qing army was defeated, and the Nanjing Treaty was signed, and Hong Kong Island was cut off.

What a history! Condensed into a movie, everyone will worry. Needless to say, what about the scene, what about the warship, what about the foreigners, what about the queen?

Do you still have to go to the UK to shoot?

It was Xie Jin who was so bold that he dared to pick this matter.

The two were discussing, when they suddenly heard the phone ringing, saying that someone was coming to visit. He thought it was a reporter, but when he heard it, he looked puzzled.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and a person came in.

Yo, Cheng Lao is here too, what a coincidence!

Xiao Xu?

Cheng Zhigu was surprised: Why are you here?

I have something to do with Director Xie... You sit down, you don't need to entertain me.

Teacher Xu grabbed a chair casually, and went straight to the point: That's it, I heard that you are planning to shoot The Opium War, do you need some old street scenes?

Definitely need it.

That's just right. I set up a film and television base in Ningbo and built a Guangzhou street for filming modern dramas. The project is partly in progress, why don't you go and have a look if you have time?

Um?

Xie Jin was taken aback for a moment, my mother hasn't dozed off yet, did the pillow come first?

The other party asked again: Where there is the sea, is there still a port and a fort scene? Are you going to shoot Hong Kong? The sea is full of small islands. Are you going to shoot naval battles? That place is huge...

Anyway, let's put it this way, you ask for it, and I build it.

…………

Didi!

Several cars came from the direction of the town, drove into the Datang Port Tourist Ecological Zone, and stopped in front of the small building. When the door opened, it was Xu Fei, Xie Jin and others.

Accompanying him were city leaders and Liu Luoguo's director Zhang Zi'en.

After several months, the film and television city is different every day. There is another small building on the side of the road, which is listed as Xiangshan Film and Television City Service Company.

What's this for? Xie Jin asked.

The crew who come here to film need costumes, culture, Taoism, group performances, martial arts actors, etc., and the company takes care of everything.

Everything is arranged? The tone is not small.

I recruited a lot of young people majoring in art and clothing, and cooperated with local factories. I dare not say that I can catch up with the masters, but it is still possible to satisfy the general crew.

Cheng Zhigu was very interested and asked, Wouldn't it be convenient to film in the future? Just bring the script and actors.

That's what it means.

...

Xie Jin was noncommittal, walked around the small building, and saw a large circle of walls built on the river. The mouth of the river was the entrance, and entered from both sides. The plaque read Jiangnan Water Town.

Who designed it?

Mr. Yang Zhanjia.

Um.

Xie Jin gave a thumbs up, and soon saw the construction site again.

The main body is a Guangzhou Street covering an area of ​​more than 300 mu. A section of the road has been paved and some buildings have been erected. There are also water currents, which flow into Sanmen Bay in a criss-cross pattern.

Bordering it anyway, there is another auxiliary building, Hong Kong Street, which has not been repaired much.

...

Director Xie remained silent, and suddenly looked at Cheng Zhigu.

Cheng Zhigu is not surprised, I told you earlier, Xiao Xu is famous for being evil, famous for being accurate, and famous for being fast.

Whoops so fast! too fast!
