Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Hong Kong in the 1980s, although there were no mobile phones, that is, mobile phones, there were many fixed phones. The Li family had to install them early because they wanted to do business. This also brought a lot of trouble to Li Mingbao.  Conveniently, he doesn¡¯t have to travel around to send New Year greetings to others. At least for people like Fa Ge, he doesn¡¯t have to travel in person.  As for Zhao Yazi, Li Mingbao wanted to visit her, but unfortunately Zhao Yazi¡¯s husband would definitely not agree, so he just made a phone call to express his feelings. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for the Sixth Uncle and Jin Yong, although they have made friends with each other, they are not qualified to visit them, so this Spring Festival, Li Mingbao is quite relaxed.  When the annual holiday just passed, Li Mingbao started to get busy.  Since he said he wanted to make a movie, he had to take practical actions. In fact, he had already drafted the first movie he wanted to make. During the Chinese New Year, he had already written it out, and it was called "  Happy Ghost".  As a low-budget film, "Happy Ghost" was definitely a model in the early 1980s. The film's starring actor Huang Baiming was actually the film's producer. There were many strange things about filming in Hong Kong.  something, and this thing includes the role of producer.  The director of "Happy Ghost" is Gao Zhisen. Generally speaking, later mainland directors are equivalent to the most important role in a film.  In Hong Kong these days, the director may not be the most important moment in a film, because there is also a producer above the director.  If it is a famous director and a less famous producer, then this film can be regarded as the director's achievement.  ¡°But if it¡¯s an unknown director, or a famous director, or a famous producer, then anyone in the industry will know that the number one person in the movie is definitely the producer.  And "Happy Ghost" is such a film with a famous producer.  When this movie was made a few years later, although director Gao Zhisen also received a lot of honors, his gains were nothing compared to starring and producer Huang Baiming.  When many people talk about "Happy Ghost", they always talk about how good Huang Baiming is, rather than how good he is like Gao Zhisen. Just from the comments, you can see how strange the Hong Kong producer and director is.  And a very representative figure in the Hong Kong film industry is Xu Ke.  He is a director who is often listed as a producer. Many of his masterpieces, which basically represent his film style, often do not see his name in the director column, but are listed behind the producer, so in those years  I hate him very much at the Hong Kong Film Awards because his movies won awards and the judges didn¡¯t know who to give the award to. The director award was given to Xu Ke, but Xu Ke was the producer. But if the director award was given to the director of that movie, the judges didn¡¯t know who to give the award to.  I felt panicked because the director who was captured by Xu Ke to make a movie obviously couldn't afford such an award.  Of course, getting back to the subject, there is no such trouble for "Happy Ghost", which Li Mingbao is about to start filming now.  Because the movie that Li Mingbao is about to shoot now has nothing to do with Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen and others. He had already thought about it. He would be the producer of this movie and let his second brother Li Minghui be the director.  Starting the filming of "Happy Ghost" four years early has caused quite a lot of troubles for Li Mingbao now. He is not worried about behind the scenes or anything, nor is he worried about money. After all, 900,000 Hong Kong dollars is definitely enough for a small-budget movie. But what he is most worried about is this  Starring in the movie.  The male lead of the movie, Zhu Xiucai, was played by Huang Baiming in the original film. To maintain continuity, Huang Baiming should be cast as the lead. But the problem is that now it is impossible for Li Mingbao to find Huang Baiming to star in "Happy Ghost" because of this  At that time, Huang Baiming had just established Struggle Studio with Shi Tian and Majia. He was in contact with Boss Lei and was also filming his own movie. Where could he find the time to be the leading actor in Li Mingbao's unknown movie?  Even if Huang Baiming agreed, Li Mingbao couldn't afford Huang Baiming's salary, so Huang Baiming couldn't be the actor in "Happy Ghost". Fortunately, the male protagonist in this movie is not a very important role. Li Mingbao  Looking left and right, I felt that my second brother was very suitable. Huang Baiming looked very honest and looked innocent when he was teased. Although my second brother looked very similar to Li Mingbao, due to his personality, his expression was similar to that of Huang Bai.  The gap between Ming and Ming is not too big, and he can be tolerated as the male protagonist. Moreover, his second brother is more handsome than Huang Baiming, and he is more able to attract the audience's attention.  The role of the male protagonist is easy to get, but the roles of several female protagonists are not so easy to get rid of. Not to mention how beautiful and famous you need to be, the key is to show the concept of youth and sunshine in the movie.  Is Zhao Yazi pretty enough?  But she is definitely not suitable to act in this movie, because she no longer has the charm of a girl. It is useless to ask her to act, no matter how good her acting skills are.  The girls in the original film were pretty good, butThe problem is that the original film was shot four years later.  And in the 1980s, Luo Mingzhu, who played Lin Jingjing, was only twelve years old. Li Mingbao wanted to play Luo Mingzhu, who was a junior high school student, not Luo Mingzhu, who was an elementary school student.  "Li Lizhen is fourteen years old now, and she can play this role well with her development. But the problem is that no one else has debuted yet. Where can Li Mingbao find her?"  As for the last character, his appearance is not pleasing to the eye, and he will have little career success in the future, which makes him even more ignored.  So after all the calculations, it became a big problem for Li Mingbao to find a heroine.  Fortunately, Uncle Six promised Li Mingbao that he could find actors in Wireless, which could solve this problem. Otherwise, Li Mingbao would have to find a stranger to act.  In the wireless selection actor, it is actually particular about it. Although Uncle Shao looks generous, if Li Mingbao dares to dig the red stars in the wireless now, let alone the uncle Liu and Liu Ai will not agree, even if he promises him to pay the film.  In this way, if Li Mingbao wants to choose roles, he can only find people who will be popular in the future but are not famous yet.  Fortunately, this is a training class for TVB. Most of the stars in Hong Kong in the future will come from this place. There are not many actresses who are not popular yet.  With Uncle Liu's signature, Li Mingbao wants others to act, so that he won't be kicked out without being able to speak out.  After flattering Aunt Six, Li Mingbao¡¯s casting process officially began.  After several days of selection, Li Mingbao finally selected the role, but he only selected one, and it was not a TVB actor, and that was Zhong Chuhong.  As a Miss Hong Kong contestant in 1979, that is, last year, Zhong Chuhong did not win the crown, but only ranked fourth. Although it caused a great sensation at the time and was named "the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong", in fact, the star  The journey was not smooth. After the news about Miss Hong Kong passed, Zhong Chuhong lost the chance to be photographed. At this time, Li Mingbao let Zhong Chuhong star in the movie, which was also a big surprise for Zhong Chuhong.  Because at this time, Zhong Chuhong was staying at home because he failed in the TVB audition. Liu Songren, the big boss, had not yet had time to introduce him to play the leading role in Johnnie To's movie, so the invitation from Li Mingbao was really a surprise.  Since he was not an actor at TVB, Zhong Chuhong wanted to make a movie without TVB¡¯s approval. In addition, with the HKD 10,000 salary from Li Mingbao, Zhong Chuhong readily agreed.  Although Li Mingbao's crew is a three-no product, with no reputation, no stars, and no company, Li Mingbao got his phone from Wireless, and the filming was also done with wireless equipment, so Zhong Chuhong doesn't have to worry about others.  The problem.  Only when Liu Songren recommended Zhong Chuhong to Du Qifeng did Liu Songren know that Zhong Chuhong had been loaned out by an unknown person named Li Mingbao.  At first, Liu Songren wanted to talk to Li Mingbao, but Du Qifeng, as a disciple of Wang Tianlin, knew something about Li Mingbao, so he persuaded Liu Songren to stop and found a new actress.  Let this matter go.  Li Mingbao didn't know at this time that he had robbed someone from Du Qifeng. When he found out later, he just regarded it as a joke. After all, Du Qifeng's movie was not very good at the box office. Compared with "Happy Ghost" that made Zhong Chuhong famous  , why is it hard to say anything about his movie?  It was a surprise to find Zhong Chuhong, but the remaining two actors were not so good. After thinking for a long time, Li Mingbao suddenly thought of Fa Ge¡¯s Lotus Girl, so he called Fa Ge.  Hearing that Li Mingbao asked Chen Yulian to star in "Happy Ghost", Fa Ge was very happy. Even though he didn't want to act in this movie, it didn't mean that he didn't want his sister Lin to act in it. Fa Ge himself was famous and had many film appointments.  But his Lotus Girl is different. It's good if she has a film to shoot, and there's not so much to pay attention to. Even if the film fails, she can still become familiar with her and build a good relationship with Li Mingbao, which is a good idea.  At this time, Fa Ge and his first Lotus Girl are in perfect harmony. Of course, they have to think more about Lotus Girl. If Li Mingbao makes this call two years later, Fa Ge will definitely think that Li Mingbao is here to stir up hatred.  Of the three heroines, two have been chosen, and the last one was selected. When Li Mingbao was thinking about it and couldn¡¯t think of a good person, his second brother actually gave him a surprise. He recommended Li Saifeng, who was only fifteen years old.  The little girl is really a junior high school student.  Although Li Mingbao didn't know how his second brother found Li Saifeng, the role of Li Saifeng was indeed suitable, so he immediately made the decision.  This means that the crew has been established.  As for the other supporting actors, you can just pick two from Wireless. It just so happened that Li Mingbao and Qiu Guan had some relationship before, and there was a character Li Mingbao and he was going to ask Fei Jie to help.
