Since 1983

October Siege has many criticisms.

Looking at the overall rhythm first, the first half was very good, and the second half was scattered. The best fight scenes were not placed at the end, but finished ahead of time.

The excitement came to an abrupt end. In the end, there was no other way, there were only two weak chickens left in the decent, and the villain could only be killed by a schoolteacher with a pistol.

The structure is lengthy, the whole film exceeds 2 hours, and it lacks the big climax at the end.

There are also many failures in the details. For example, Battelle was stabbed many times, resurrected inexplicably, and was stabbed many times again, which is completely illogical.

Donnie Yen had an extra daughter inexplicably, and Wang Xueqi became Pan Xia in seconds.

Wang Xueqi's change was even more abrupt, not convincing enough...

And there are two most rubbish points:

One is that Sun Yat-sen came to Hong Kong with great fanfare, and the newspapers still promoted it, so he almost challenged the Qing court: Come, come, come and kill me!

The second is Sun Yat-sen's purpose, just to hold a one-hour meeting, so that the sacrifice value of those people is extremely weakened, leaving only two words, cannon fodder!

According to historical records:

Sun Yat-sen first founded the Xingzhonghui, and in 1905 established the Tongmenghui in Japan, and put forward the idea of ​​expelling the Tartars, restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights.

Headquartered in Tokyo, it plans to set up 5 branches in China, and the southern branch is in Hong Kong, which is responsible for the affairs of Yunnan, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Sun Yat-sen did come to Hong Kong that year. He was deported and stayed on an offshore ship.

Chen Shaobai, Zheng Guangong and others boarded the ship to meet. Sun Yat-sen presided over the swearing-in ceremony of the Tongmenghui, established the Hong Kong branch, elected Chen Shaobai as the president of the branch, and so on.

In fact, although Sun Yat-sen was expelled from the country by the Hong Kong government, he anchored off the coast many times, or landed in Hong Kong secretly to arrange revolutionary work.

October Siege could have used his secret visit to Hong Kong, presided over the establishment of the branch, and arranged work as the cause of the incident, but the news suddenly leaked, and it was too late to inform Sun Yat-sen, so he could only try to protect it.

The Hong Kong government has an ambiguous attitude, acquiescing to the Qing court's action, but don't make a big mess.

So in a relatively secret situation, one side assassinates and the other side protects...

And these little people can't understand any revolutionary beliefs, so absolutely don't shout slogans. Little people have little people's motives, or for money, or for people, or for love, or for hate, or for loyalty.

Be sure to pave the way.

Actors have changed a lot, but overall they are still stars. Movies with a lot of stars are still very popular until 2020.

Wang Xueqi plays a patriotic businessman, and Liang Jiahui plays Chen Shaobai.

Pan Yueming plays the businessman's son, and Jiang Qinqin plays the businessman's second wife.

Donnie Yen had more roles in the original version because it became popular, but not yet. He is a pure gambler, and the businessman is not a panderer. He accidentally learned that he had a child, and wanted to leave some money for the child, so he sold his life.

Ren Dahua played the rebel general of the Qing court, and Cao Ying played his daughter.

Wu Jing plays the coachman, his skills are strengthened, and Zhou Xun plays the girl that the coachman likes as a cameo.

Because the big battle is put to the end, a hearty climax scene is required. Wu Jing and Donnie Yen are the highest fighting strength of the square, fighting against the villain leader Hu Jun.

Hu Jun will lead Zhou Billy, Ni Xing, Li Haitao, Jin Song and other sturdy men into battle.

In addition, Li Ming became Xie Junhao, and because of Duan Zhengchun's popularity in the mainland, Xie Junhao was more like a Luotuo son. The setting is both civil and military, and a hero among men. Of course, that fan is too dramatic, so I have to change it.

The role of Zeng Deyi Shuangxin Zhiwei has increased and replaced by Liu Qingyun.

Battle hasn't changed, and the role is fun. Ge You, Hui Yinghong, etc. also made guest appearances, purely for stardom.

…………

Mr. Xu! Long time no see!

That night, in the private room of the hotel, Chen Kexin greeted him enthusiastically. He is the producer of this film, the other producer is Huang Jianxin, and the director is Chen Desen.

Old Han also came to visit the class, and he just left the day before yesterday.

Huang Jianxin, who has filmed The Black Cannon Incident and Back to Back Face to Face, is very elegant, like a teacher, and said with a smile: You come here one after another, we are under a lot of pressure.

That's why I asked you to join forces. How about cooperation?

Xu Fei consciously assumed the identity of the host and greeted him to be seated.

The communication was very good. We almost made a movie with this kind of theme. Mr. Huang gave me a lot of advice. Chen Kexin said.

Mutually, I also learn from you.

Huang Jianxin is equivalent to a mainland representative, and said: The filming is going well, and it will be completed in July. I heard that Yen Zidan has been hired for Yimou's new film, and he is also filming here?

Well, they are mainly in the Qin Palace. I have to urge you to come out for The Son of Heaven over there.

Boss Shi: Ah Choo! Ah Choo!

Chen Kexin was very interested in Virus and asked a lot of questions. He was envious of Tsui Hark. That was a real $12 million.

October Besieged City is claimed to be 100 million yuan, but the actual cost of landscaping is about 60 million yuan.

With the current size of the mainland, the profit risk is very high, but people just dare to vote and shoot, which is much better than Hong Kong films.

After a meal, Xu Fei went back to his room.

Just after taking a shower, there was a knock on the door outside, yo! He cheered up, which actress's road has widened?

wait a minute!

Teacher Xu put on his pajamas, ran to open the door, and poked the two gentlemen outside, but it was Huang Jianxin and the chief financial officer.

Boring!

what's up?

Uh, I have to report to you.

Letting the two into the room, the finance minister faltered, Huang Jianxin was impatient, and said: Let me tell. Isn't there a frontal shot of Sun Yat-sen in the film?

Chen Kexin wants to find a big star to act, and ask a top Hollywood team to do makeup. We agreed in principle, but when we heard the quotation, it cost 700,000 yuan to put on makeup.

How to personalize?

It's close to changing the face. The ears, forehead, and nose all need major surgery, which can make a completely different person look like.

The purpose of finding a big star is to increase the popularity. If you can't tell it's this person, and it's just one shot, then why are you looking for a big star?

Huang Jianxin disagreed, saying: We have Sun Yat-sen's special actor, just Ma Shaohua, he can do it! Our own makeup artist can also be competent.

However, according to Director Chen, this film will be released to Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, with multiple stars and multiple hotspots, so he insists on hiring people.

...

Xu Fei thought for a while and asked, What did Lao Han say?

Old Han doesn't care, he spent tens of millions, not less than 700,000.

And I think, uh, I don't know how they do filming in Hong Kong, but from what I've seen, it's a bit extravagant.

The accountant made a small report, saying: The props are all made by Xiangshan Factory. I know the price very well. It's nothing, but it's too wasteful. I have to buy a batch of the same ones every two days.

Xu Fei looked at Huang Jianxin, who was embarrassed: The damage is a bit too much, mainly because there are too many scenes. We can't tell others, you should save it.

What a shame!

Well, I probably understand.

Teacher Xu nodded and said, It's okay, I will stay in Xiangshan for a few days.

(besides……)
