Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, the crew worked non-stop to shoot the movie. The Hong Kong movie scenes were also shot very quickly. At this time, news came from Johnnie To, who was in Japan, that the filming in Japan was completed.  This made Wang Dong determined to go to Japan to shoot some scenes in "God of Gamblers", and finding a role in Japan was also very important to Wang Dong.  One thing Hollywood has done well in later generations is to attract stars with great influence and box office appeal from other countries and regions to join movies and play a role in their movies.  In this way, not only can the lineup be more reasonable and in line with the development of the story, but it can also make the movie stars more brilliant and interesting.  Of course, the most important thing is that the addition of these stars will make the movie very popular at the box office in the country where the star or region is located. With the help of this star, the box office of the entire movie will be driven.  I have to say that this method of Hollywood is very worthy of learning from Chinese films.  In this aspect, Hong Kong movies actually do quite well.  This also makes Hong Kong movies always do well at the box office in Japan, and Hong Kong movie stars are quite famous in Japan.  Inviting stars from other countries to participate in movies will help the movie do very well at the box office in other countries and regions.  This is something Hollywood uses with great proficiency.  In later generations, many mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars and Chinese faces will appear in Hollywood movies.  This has also made Hollywood movies very impressive at the box office in China. Even Wang Dong admits that the development trend in Europe and the United States is at least ten or even twenty years ahead of Chinese-language movies.  In fact, in the 1980s, Hollywood was almost the same as Hong Kong.  At most, it¡¯s just a matter of different film concepts. In terms of film shooting, Hong Kong¡¯s action films shocked even Hollywood.  To be honest, Hollywood's gun fight movies and action movies are also imported from Hong Kong.  Hollywood borrowed a lot from Hong Kong.  In this life, Wang Dong doesn¡¯t mind borrowing a lot of experience from Hollywood.  This is also the reason why Wang Dong invited Yasuaki Kurata and Michiko Nisigyo to shoot this movie, and also the reason why the movie was shot in Japan.  To be honest, Wang Dong didn't think much about this aspect at first, but with Hung Jin-po's "Summer Lucky Star", Wang Dong discovered that he was really ashamed of the values ????of later generations, and he didn't even think of using this superstar influence and foreign filming methods to  Perform publicity stunts.  Of course, Hong Jinbao didn¡¯t have these thoughts yet, but his actions really gave Wang Dong a sudden enlightenment.  I also thought about these aspects.  The movie "God of Gamblers" was shot in Japan just for the Japanese market. This was Wang Dong's most direct idea.  The Japanese market is definitely the largest box office market after the two major markets of Taiwan and Hong Kong.  Hong Kong movies have always done well at the box office in Japan.  Moreover, several of Wang Dong's movies are even more popular in Japan.  It can be said that both Zhou Runfa and director Wang Dong are definitely very famous in Japan.  Wang Dong himself didn¡¯t know this.  He had no idea he was so famous in Japan.  Of course, even if he knew, Wang Dong would not care too much about this matter.  Wang Dong didn't have a good impression of Japan at all, except of course Japanese women.  Wang Dong also often watched Japanese film culture in his later generations, and he can be considered to be deeply familiar with the three flavors.  Love action movies are definitely a blessing for otakus in Japan.  Um, why do love and action go together?  This can be regarded as a major feature of Japanese movies Wang Dong also paid more attention to this shooting, which is also a very important point to enter the Japanese market.  In the previous life, the box office of "God of Gamblers" in Japan was absolutely a miracle. The box office of this movie in East and Southeast Asia was even more terrifying than that of "A Better Tomorrow."  Wang Dong will naturally not let go of the box office in these markets in this life.  Therefore, Wang Dong took part of the crew and flew to Japan to join Johnnie To and others.  There weren¡¯t many people shooting in Japan this time, but there were a lot of them, so it was considered a big investment.     ¡­¡­    Wow!  Tokyo, Japan is really prosperous, so lively, just as good as our Causeway Bay!  Looking at the dense crowd outside the car window, the fat man opened his mouth wide and murmured in surprise.  Tokyo is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Now Japan's economic development has been rapid after the war, and Tokyo is even more rapid.  Together with New York and London, it has become one of the three world-class cities.  Naturally, it is no less generous than Hong Kong.  Speaking of which, Tokyo is bigger than Hong Kong. Although Japan is not that great, in terms of development, it is worth learning from us Chinese.  " After getting off the plane, a commercial vehicle came to pick up Wang Dong and his group. The three commercial vehicles were full of staff. This time they came to Japan for filming, and Wang Dong was also curious. Listening to Fatty Cheng's words, Wang Dong also smiled slightly  Smiling, looking at the high-rise buildings outside the window, I had to admit in my heart that Japan's post-war development was really extraordinary.Fast.  Although it cannot do without the support of the United States, its own energy is also impressive.  Wang Dong is a nationalist, but not an arrogant one.  Looking at the densely packed Japanese working in a fast pace not far away, Wang Dong also shook his head secretly. From these people, Wang Dong seemed to see the office workers in the mainland in the future.  The Japanese are the most stressed-out people in the world. They face huge life pressure, and their pace of life is also very fast.  Even faster than Hong Kong.  Much like Shanghai and Beijing in later generations.  Wang Dong also admires the Japanese's post-war development.  Wang Jun, Tokyo, like Hong Kong, is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and life here is very stressful.  Japan's rapid development after the war is indeed inseparable from the efforts of every Japanese people.  After hearing Wang Dong talk about Japan's economic development, Yasuaki Kurata, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile.  Haha, it is indeed inseparable from the efforts of the people.  To be honest, Japan's economy has developed rapidly in recent years and the film industry is also booming. This time I came to Japan to shoot "God of Gamblers" and I didn't have much time.  Next time I come to Japan, I must pay a visit to Japanese filmmakers.  Wang Dong smiled and nodded.  Japanese films developed fairly well after the post-war period, but they did not have as huge an impact as Hong Kong. However, they also produced many world-class film masters.  Of course, the most famous among them is of course Akira Kurosawa, the world master.  In addition to him, there are also many second-generation Japanese film masters.  At this point, Hong Kong movies lack a lot.  Hong Kong movies do very well at the box office, but their impact on the film industry is not that great.  Not even a few film masters were produced.  There are only a few such as Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang, and Zhang Che.  Wang Dong naturally does not want Japanese movies to rise in his heart, so Wang Dong does not recommend suppressing Japanese movies.  In other words, let some Japanese movie characters be influenced by Chinese movies to expand the influence of Chinese movies.  Naturally, Kurata Yasuaki didn¡¯t know what Wang Dong was thinking, so he was very excited when he heard Wang Dong¡¯s words.  You know, Wang Dong is definitely a new generation of film masters, and there are few people in Japan who can compare with him.  The only ones that can be compared are those few film masters.  But in comparison, those masters are all very old.  Wang Dong is only in his twenties now, which shows how strong Wang Dong is.  In Japan, the strong are respected.  This is Japanese nature.  Wang Dong's strength is definitely the most respected by the Japanese, whether it is martial arts or movies.  I think Japanese filmmakers will be very happy to know that Mr. Wang Dong is coming. In Japan, many people admire Mr. Wang Dong.  Your movies are as popular in Japan as they are in Hong Kong, and many young people are following your movies.  Every time one of your movies creates a craze, the original "Shaolin Temple" made Chinese Kung Fu very popular in Japan.  The subsequent "Wrong Ride" moved many Japanese people.  "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Better Day" are both revered as classics.  Mr. Wang's movie is really a visual feast, and I am very lucky to be able to participate in it.  ¡± Yasuaki Kurata has had great respect for Wang Dong since the last time Wang Dong showed his kung fu. At that time, the apprenticeship was not successful, but Yasuaki Kurata regarded Wang Dong as someone he respected. Speaking of Wang  Dong¡¯s movies are also well known. Haha After listening to Kurata Yasuaki¡¯s words, Wang Dong smiled lightly and didn¡¯t care too much. Wang Dong naturally knew the influence of his movies and knew that the box office in Japan was good, but he didn¡¯t think much of it.  If Kurata Yasuaki knew that Wang Dong thought so, he would be wronged. In fact, many Japanese young people like Wang Dong even more.  Movies have made Wang Dong, a Hong Kong movie, very popular in Japan. If the Japanese¡¯s favorite foreign actor is Bruce Lee, then their favorite Asian director is Wang Dong. Wang Dong¡¯s movies have made these young Japanese people very popular.  It can be said that I like it very much. In the previous life, whether it was "Shaolin Temple", "A Better Tomorrow" or "Prison", it was already very good at the box office in Japan. This time Wang Dong's version is much better than it, and it is even more impressive.  It created a huge craze as soon as it was released in Japan. Even many filmmakers regarded Wang Dong as an idol. Only Wang Dong himself did not know his influence in Japan. Several commercial vehicles drove on the streets of Tokyo and finally stopped.  In front of a hotel. This is where Wang Dong and the others stayed this time. Not far away, some Japanese-style restaurants and restaurants are important locations for Wang Dong¡¯s filming. These Japanese-style buildings also have many features.  With a strong sense of history, this was not the first time Wang Dong had seen this kind of building in Taipei when he was filming "The Wrong Ride".There are several such buildings.  However, it was the first time for Wang Dong to see something like this that was original, full of history, lined up in rows, and very large-scale.  Wang Dong liked this place very much and confirmed the idea of ??shooting here.  The taste is original and the grade is not low. It is also very suitable for shooting.
