In the north of Liuliqiao in Fengtai, there is a large compound covering an area of acres, which is the Bayi Film Studio. It is twice as large as the Beijing Film Studio. The Bayi Film Studio has a very good relationship with the Beijing Film Studio. Wang Yang even participated in the preparation and construction of the Bayi Film Studio. The directors and actors of the Beijing Film Studio often film for the Bayi Film Studio. Later, because of a conflict with "Xu Mao and His Daughters", the two companies insisted on filming, and neither of them gave in. Thus, an unprecedented double yolk of a movie was born: the same title, the same content, and the same release. The Beijing Film Studio is even better. "Ding!" As the van drove in, Chen Qi looked at this unfamiliar unit. The first feeling was that it was neat. The planning of buildings, roads, and greening was the same as that of barracks, square and blocky. There were many people coming and going, most of them wearing military uniforms, and each of them was upright. The Bayi Film Studio was affiliated with the General Political Department, and there were too many classics. "Tunnel Warfare", "Land Mine Warfare", "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", "Shining Red Star", "The Decisive Battle", "The Great Turning Point", etc. At the beginning of the new century, there was also a commercial attempt, "Breaking Out of the Amazon", starring Hou Yong, but unfortunately the performance was not good. Later, it merged with the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, Drama Troupe, etc. to form the PLA Cultural and Art Center, but the filming was still under the name of the August 1st Film Studio.
Huang Hong was the director. "This is it!" The car stopped under a building, and the accompanying Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and Film Bureau personnel came down first, followed by Chen Qi and Tsui Hark, and they were going to find a deputy director to connect. Several people went upstairs, walked through the long corridor, and came towards a person. Xu Ke didn't care at first, but when he approached, he was stunned and turned to look at Chen Qi. This guy showed a very strange expression. It seemed that he paused for two seconds before he took the initiative to greet him: "Comrade Gu Yue!" "Oh, you are Comrade Chen Qi?" Gu Yue recognized him, smiled and shook hands with him, and said: "Hello, hello, I didn't expect to meet here. Are you here to discuss cooperation?" "I need to talk about a play. Are you busy?" "Yes, the factory is preparing a new play. You are busy first." The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Gu Yue left. They had never met before, but they had heard of each other, because Gong Xue, as Chen Qi's external representative, was very familiar with the actors of other factories. Xu Ke whispered: "He is... How come he looks so similar?" "Special actor." "No wonder, but the accent is different." "You also know the accent?" Chen Qi was surprised. "I have seen a lot of things. I like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"!" Xu Ke said. "He is not from Hunan, so he doesn't need to speak Hunan dialect on weekdays, but he changes it when filming." Gu Yue's original surname was Hu, and he was an orphan of a martyr. In 1949, he was rescued from the Guilin Orphanage by the People's Liberation Army that was heading south at that time. From then on, the army became his home. Later, he worked in the Propaganda Department of the Kunming Military Region. In 1978, he was selected by Marshal Hua to become a special actor. If you split the surname Hu, you get the stage name Gu Yue. After a small episode, several people came to an office and met the deputy director and some creative and technical personnel in the factory. When filming "Life is Beautiful", he received help from the Bayi Film Studio, so Chen Qi was not a stranger.
"We helped Guangxi Film Studio shoot "The Battle of Taierzhuang". Li Zongren's son heard the news from somewhere and said he was coming back to visit his family and wanted to watch this movie." "Is this movie not finished yet?" "Yes, but it's hard to refuse. We are going to rush to make a sample film. We understand the victory of Taierzhuang. In addition to Li Zongren, this movie also has a positive portrayal of Chiang Kai-shek..." "Ha!" "Hey, don't laugh. Chiang Kai-shek at least boosted morale." The deputy director paused and asked, "Comrade Chen Qi, I heard that you set up a spy scheme in Taiwan. What's the situation now? If Will the screening of "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang" in Hong Kong have any effect? " "..." Chen Qi understood what he wanted to ask, and said seriously: "Taiwan hates me very, very much, and wants to kill me. I mean this is only for me personally, and I am a small person who can't affect the overall situation. They will definitely be able to capture the political message conveyed by "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang". As for any reaction, they are still dealing with the Jiangnan matter. The United States has a new statement, which makes them very stressed and may change. " "Oh, so..." The deputy director nodded, and after chatting for a long time, he entered the topic of "Black Knight". First, the plot outline was explained, and everyone was very excited: "We will not make entertainment films, you are an expert. The country trusts you and lets you take responsibility, and we trust you too. Anyway, it will definitely not matter if there are Nazis and little devils in it." "Haha, it doesn't matter! The villains in my films are usually little devils." Chen Qi said happily. Then, Tsui Hark talked about his needs. He is a demonstrator with poor verbal expression skills, but he can't demonstrate "Black Knight", so he can only take out his own drawings, and everyone looks at it ambiguous. Look at the correct version one by one! "Okay, okay, let me do it!" Chen Qi thought for a while and said, "Our final climax is that the protagonist goes straight to Huanglong and destroys the base of the Japanese criminal gang, which is also the Asian branch of the Nazi organization. The details have not been determined yet, I just say this concept, such as the base is in the desert, or on a snowy mountain, or on a small island. The protagonists are sitting in a plane and parachuting out. First of all, you need a plane and a powerful soldier as a stand-in, to shoot the shots of them jumping from the plane, the shots of their parachutes opening like clouds, and the long-range shots of a few little people in the air. Or the background is a towering snow-capped mountain, with several people galloping on the horizon. Or military jeeps galloping in the desert, with all kinds of heavy firepower blasting randomly, even a single shot can blow up a building, directly blow up a base... We want to achieve such an effect, not the thousands of artillery fires and large troops marching in war films, but to reduce the scale and make the scene more exciting and thrilling. " "Have you reached the stage of filming such a scene?" Everyone at the August 1st Film Studio was shocked. "We don't know if it can be achieved, so we asked you to study it." "..." The deputy director fell into thought, and Tsui Hark looked at him eagerly, expecting a lot.
It seemed like a long time before he said, "Okay! The comrades in Hong Kong have spoken, and we must help with this! Besides, you are also fighting the devils, and you have not violated the creative spirit of our August 1st Film Studio. We will do our best to achieve the effect you want!" "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! " Tsui Hark was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Chen Qi also thanked him repeatedly. Immediately arranged specific docking and work, such as Tsui Hark had to go to the desert, snow-capped mountains, and small islands to select locations, and then study the equipment and technology to see if it can be filmed. ... Until they came out, Tsui Hark was still very excited. No director in Hong Kong has such an opportunity to lead such a play. Those people are still shooting dirty shit, street jokes, and fresh social jokes... "Will you go with me to select locations?" he asked. "What do you think? My wife is about to give birth, and I am waiting for the warm spring on the top of the snow-capped mountains?" Chen Qi said unhappily: "Don't ask me for specific work, you are the director, go and do it, and come to me if you have any problems. " (No more...)
