    Although the Chinese staff, from the assistant director to the stage managers to the actors, all felt that Shen Zhenghui's idea was a bit unreliable, but after the preparation meeting, even Sun Daoling, the most opposed consultant, had to admit that Shen Zhenghui's idea was achievable.  The premise is to burn money, but what Shen Zhenghui is least afraid of right now is burning money.  Zhang Guoli, who plays Ji Xiaolan, also appeared at the meeting. He is considered a partner of Shen Zhenghui's father. This time he was also frightened by the generosity of Shen Zhenghui and Shen Zhenghui's father. He thought of participating in the project and invested a little money, but Shen Zhenghui  What matters most is Teacher Zhang¡¯s personal connections and deep qualifications. Currently, investing in domestic blockbusters is a bit like buying horse bones for a thousand bucks. Therefore, no one will be rejected for such a big shot. By the way, Teacher Zhang also plays a role in the movie.  An important supporting role as a Kuomintang officer.  Teacher Zhang himself certainly does not want to be limited to being an actor, but his own development direction has been limited, and it is impossible to win international reputation outside the Chinese circle.  So Teacher Zhang and Ye Anan happily developed in the direction of the people's artist, winning awards such as white flowers and golden roosters.  His development direction is either to become a part-time boss of a private enterprise, invest in, shoot, and star in TV series that are popular among the people, or to become a golden supporting role in movies and TV series.  No matter from which perspective, being a boss is better than being a supporting role, but for Teacher Zhang, sometimes being a good supporting role is a necessary job to be a good boss, such as right now.  Not to mention anything else, this RMB 100 million investment in the film crew has stimulated the industry and people in the entire film industry. After Shen Zhenghui¡¯s specific plans and requirements were laid out through meetings.  The entire film industry is in motion.  The Bayi Factory has all kinds of existing military uniforms, but Shen Zhenghui thought they were too old and had to make them again. The new ones also had to be the same as the ones in history. It was best to be handmade. This made the props department of the Bayi Factory very busy.  Because not only clothes, but also rifles, pistols, cannons, tanks, cars, etc. are required to be prepared in accordance with historical requirements. Shen Zhenghui was picky and demanded that actors must wear according to historical requirements from the inside out, including underwear.  .  A group of people secretly scolded the director for messing around.  on the other hand.  The money was being made softly again, and it had not been working so vigorously for many years. The department that had been waiting for death suddenly seemed to be rejuvenated and worked hard to satisfy Shen Zhenghui's various suggestions that sounded unreliable.  Several months of preparation time are required, not just props.  Also included is a specially established pyrotechnics department.  For this reason, the Bayi Factory specially applied for the transfer of professional engineers from the army to help.  After all, Shen Zhenghui's request seemed mysterious even to those who were experienced in making war films. In addition, the young actors who had already been cast were also beginning to receive military training.  According to Shen Zhenghui, everyone must look like a soldier of that era before the official shooting. For this purpose, veteran soldiers who participated in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea were specially found to provide on-site guidance.  It is not difficult to get through the relationship with the military. The veteran cadres are very enthusiastic about using their remaining energy. At first, everyone thought it was some kind of organizational benefit and regarded it as a vacation.  After hearing the entire shooting intention from the director and assistant director, the enthusiasm and ideas of the veteran cadres became more intense.  Shen Zhenghui invited a dozen veteran soldiers. Basically, each of them could be responsible for an actor and impart their ideas and experiences. During the script discussion and plot discussion meetings, the old men also had ideas, and they all used their own ideas in different ways.  Experience is stuffed into the script.  Sun Daoling, the best actor, acted as the leader of the advisory group and was responsible for the work of the entire advisory group. The old man was very high-spirited and had good ideas. He wanted to make this film a classic and talked about everything.  The script was revised three times in just two months and revised more than ten times. ??????????????????????? Director Feng¡¯s intention to indirectly smear TG through the human nature he tried hard to express in the script has been revised, and the theme is more lofty.  The theme of false rallying calls to deceive soldiers into fighting to the death has long been abandoned. Gu Zidi¡¯s ideological self-salvation has become a new theme. How does a warrior grow up? No, it should be said that how many warriors grow up. From  An ordinary farmer grows into a qualified warrior and realizes that he has contributed to the country. This is a theme worthy of sublimation.  After several meetings, when all parties regard this film as their own career, when the structure of the entire film gradually takes shape in trivial meetings, discussions and quarrels again and again, the actors' feelings also gradually develop into the characters bit by bit.  When it was found during excavation, everyone finally realized the meaning of this movie and its artistry.  Of course, these are still invisible. When the film is not specifically shot, any possible advantages cannot represent the advantages of reality.  However, during the whole process, the team's thoughts were unified. Although there were still some contradictions in each other's ideas, Shen Zhenghui's assistant director could not understand the way Shen Zhenghui spent money. The veteran soldiers who really resisted the United States and aided Korea did not like the actors very much.  The empress performedHowever, once everyone had a unified understanding of the general direction, the preparation process of the entire movie suddenly accelerated. Originally, Shen Zhenghui thought about filming it after the year, but seeing everyone's mood getting better and better  , all kinds of preparation work went extremely smoothly, and it was almost impossible to wait until the Chinese New Year before it would be started.  However, for the Chinese, starting production across the New Year is still a problem. It is a certain consensus to stay with relatives and family during the Chinese New Year. Even if the actors themselves can overcome this, the crew and the local service industry may not necessarily follow the crew's other supporting facilities.  Calls - such as restaurants, etc.  However, the Bayi Factory stated that it can contact the military for help if necessary, ensuring that there will be no problem shooting during the Chinese New Year.  Aren¡¯t you just trying to catch a duck?  Shen Zhenghui thought to himself.  And before that, Shen Zhenghui's new film "Black Fist" was finally released. This time, Shen Zhenghui is not the starring role and does not need to participate in the promotion work.  Although he himself did not arrange specific work, everything was in order for the release of "Black Fist", and Japan held a grand premiere. Because it is essentially a Hong Kong movie, even if there is a lack of popular Japanese stars to join the movie.  There were quite a few celebrities who came to support the show, especially female stars who were and were not participating in the Queens show. Their beauty was astonishing and created a certain topic.  Queens¡¯ popular group, Wondergirls, performed their famous song at the premiere, triggering a movie-going craze. However, it doesn¡¯t matter if the premiere is a success, because they are basically invited by people, and the box office must be a success.  Many people in the Japanese entertainment industry expressed their disapproval of this Hong Kong film that only added Japanese characters, such as Yukari Oshima, an important Japanese supporting role.  I don¡¯t know many people in Japan at all.  Therefore, many people believe that the promotion of Haruhi is largely due to the prediction of box office failure.  Therefore, we have to choose to increase publicity.  Domestic publicity, Shen Zhenghui reluctantly showed up at the premiere in Pingjing. No matter how you look at Wu Jin's baby-faced temperament, he doesn't look like he can fight, especially since he has a smile on his face.  After Shen Zhenghui showed up.  The reporters¡¯ topics were basically all about the new film.  For publicity purposes.  The promotion of "Assembly" has never stopped, including all kinds of trivial things about the crew, hype, etc.  There are even gossips about veterans training actors to tears on the set. This is also a method learned in the future. The purpose is to maintain everyone's attention and whet their appetite. Of course, if the movie is a bad movie, there will be a lot of criticism.  Sim Ching-hui continued to whet his appetite at the premiere of "Black Fist". He didn't talk about the new film, but talked about "Black Fist" itself. In terms of topic, this film co-produced by China, Japan and Thailand is also very topical.  Sex, which one is more powerful, Chinese Kung Fu, Japanese Kung Fu, or Muay Thai, is also one of the topics that is being hyped in this movie.  However, the movie market in mainland China has always been a bit slow, and the attendance rate throughout the year is not high. It is worth mentioning that the benefits given to employees by Zhongsheng Express and Shengtong Logistics are movie tickets for "Black Fist", at least in  The Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou region has created a certain kind of movie boom.  The publicity in Hong Kong was much stronger. Daniel Wu became the main promotion force, and Jack Cheng also came to help his younger brother. This brought a lot of stars, but Jack Cheng's own movie did not do well at the box office this year, so the final result  I can¡¯t say for sure, but it still created a momentum of publicity. Naturally, the paid reporters did not forget to write soft articles to praise how the film showed the fine tradition of Hong Kong action films. If the film is of high quality and has a good reputation,  With the publicity, the box office will definitely not be bad.  And the Thai box office, which lacks publicity, can only be described as hot.  A blockbuster with an investment of 10 million US dollars, and Thai actors participating in it, each of these two points inspired the Thai people's enthusiasm for watching movies.  The release in South Korea and Taiwan was a step slower this time, but unexpectedly the United States managed to release it simultaneously. Although maybe Colombia gave up the Christmas schedule or they had other intentions, this Hong Kong-style action movie was still released on a small scale.  , still aroused the interest of a specific group of movie fans. As for how much it will do at the box office, God knows.  Columbia is willing to use this film as a test to see if Hollywood accepts Shen Zhenghui's style as a film director. After all, the style of this film is completely different from "Fenglin High School".  Shen Zhenghui gave the crew a rare leave and invited them to watch a movie. Although he was very concerned about the box office of his movie, Shen Zhenghui knew that as soon as he started filming, he would have to focus on the new movie wholeheartedly.  He can't let his last movie affect his movie.  Wang Anping also appeared at the premiere. She sat next to Shen Zhenghui and said jokingly, "I distributed this movie ticket in every branch." "Thank you so much." Shen Zhenghui replied, "  I even forgot to ask my animation and comic company employees to watch the movie." "How to choose at this time.Release time?  Wang Anping was a little confused, "It won't affect your filming of this movie, right?"  " "The investment for the release of this film was 10 million US dollars, and the investment for the film currently being filmed was 100 million yuan. Now more than 20 million yuan has been spent. What do you think?  " "I hope it will be successful at the box office!  "Wang Anping replied. "The box office of this film is actually not expected in China, but if the box office in China is good, it is something worth celebrating.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. "The story screening has begun. "Generally speaking, "Black Fist" itself is still a very interesting story. Although the various peculiar backgrounds are buried deeper as the basis for the sequel, it still does not prevent the audience from enjoying the story.  Understanding of the entire plot. Although the impact of this kind of black boxing gambling on money laundering and economics is somewhat exaggerated, logically speaking, the entire story can still speak for itself.  The story is a bit old-fashioned. A state worker is an undercover gangster and has to rely on his own skills to cover up his identity. There are various settings in it that are exaggerated. No one with a brain will regard this story as reality.  But as an action movie, its most successful aspect is always the tension of the plot and the logical action and fighting. It has to be said that the tragic killings of various girls arranged from beginning to end set the tone for the entire film.  The rhythm of the film is particularly tense and attractive, and the physical fighting style and emphasis on strength and speed gave Shen Zhenghui a novel shock to those who are used to Jack Lee's dashing style.  I edited a video of several golden supporting actors in action movies. In the film, the performance of the supporting characters was no less than that of the protagonists. It was due to their strength and agility that I wanted to talk to Shen Zhenghui during the whole process.  Wang Anping was fascinated by the plot and fighting, and the whole theater was the same. From time to time, the audience reacted with collective emotions, especially the deaths of several supporting characters, which resulted in groups of sighs and somewhat depressed expressions.  The audience's anger. For action movies, death must be powerful, and the character must be exaggerated and highlighted. This should be a very exciting thing for the audience, so it must be handled specially.  , you can¡¯t make a joke that lasts for a long time. Shen Zhenghui omitted all the elements of showing off his skills in the whole film, and used real and cruel scenes to deal with the expressiveness of death. As expected, everyone wanted to pee after watching it.  , when I watched this work in the theater, I couldn't help but be attracted, and at the same time I had to lament that a few scenes were cut out. Therefore, the audiences in Hong Kong, Japan, and even Thailand were more affected by it than the audiences in mainland China.  There are many exciting scenes. The Thai boxer who was killed gets up again, revealing that he faked his death. When Shen Zhenghui smiled and pointed the gun at the black boxing organization and person in charge, everyone was surprised by the plot.  At the same time, I also felt a certain sense of relief. At this time, the fighting action was enough, so Shen Zhenghui shot to end the whole plot. But at the same time, more questions were buried in the hearts of the audience, Shen Zhenghui and Thailand.  What is the relationship between people? The Thai people have obviously betrayed the person in charge. Why? These are the lines of the second part. If the results of the first part are enough to support the second part, Wu Jin is wearing a bandage.  When the mummies said goodbye to Shen Zhenghui, the story was over, but Shen Zhenghui's smile at the end made everyone feel that the story was still a little unfinished.  At this time, the lights came on, and almost everyone who was qualified to step forward to shake hands with Shen Zhenghui congratulated him. Everyone felt that this movie was good, and they also had a premonition that the film would do well.  Shen Zhenghui accepted everyone's compliments. After watching the movie, Shen Zhenghui's actors were already looking at Shen Zhenghui with admiring eyes. These people all grew up watching Jack Cheng and Jet Li. Although most of them came from majors, there were no  An attitude that looks down on action movies.  The old consultants don¡¯t like this kind of action movies very much, but there are also responsible old consultants who made a special trip to watch the movie to see Shen Zhenghui¡¯s level.  Sun Daoling was such a person. Shen Zhenghui took the initiative to shake hands with Mr. Sun and asked him what he thought.  "I don't like this type of film very much, and I don't understand it very well." Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, "But you have a good grasp of the rhythm of the story and the shots. I now have a general idea of ??your ideas.  "It seems that you want to work hard on the scenes and pictures. It seems that there should be no problem in achieving the level you mentioned." Shen Zhenghui expressed surprise at Mr. Sun's understanding, and at the same time he was also impressed by the skills of the older generation.  Express deep admiration.  The older generation of artists have already achieved a very high standard in war films. If they want to surpass?I can now work hard on the subject matter and pictures.  Shen Zhenghui knows that the success of "Assembly" and "Bright Sword" lies in the fact that they are stories that have never been told before, and the characters are not familiar to people, making people feel novel and familiar at the same time.  And big scenes and big production are the guarantee of the picture.  The first half of "Avatar" seemed to Shen Zhenghui to be extremely dull, but the final battle was so exciting that he felt it was worth the price of admission.  Shen Zhenghui¡¯s whole idea is actually very simple, that¡¯s it.  He is also confident in himself and the box office.  In a sense, Director Zhang, Director Chen, and Director Feng are the pioneers who blazed a trail. Shen Zhenghui actually stood on their shoulders and saw farther. Similarly, Shen Zhenghui naturally did not care if they took the wrong path.  They knew how to go, and their correct ideas were naturally copied by Shen Zhenghui without hesitation, which might have saved them from taking some detours.  Shen Zhenghui decided to start filming on December 26 so that the entire schedule could be controlled. Although he had made up his mind to focus on the new film, Mitsumi Fukuda still called Shen Zhenghui personally to report the box office news of "Black Fist".  Within one week of its release in Japan, the box office exceeded 1.2 billion yen. This box office result can only be regarded as average, but according to this box office calculation, the Japanese box office alone will be enough to recover the cost when the film is released.  The box office results of Hong Kong and Thailand have also come out. The box office in Hong Kong exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Thailand actually reached 500,000 US dollars. Tony Jaa became Thailand's top star.  Only mainland box office statistics have not yet been released, but Shen Zhenghui soon saw the mainland box office of "Black Fist" in the newspaper. The total box office in the first week exceeded 20 million yuan - how much is there?  It¡¯s hard to say whether it¡¯s a friendly sponsorship from relevant units.  But this result is enough to make Shen Zhenghui confident in the new film.  (To be continued)
