Chapter 717 Black Man "The fetal movement has been very severe these days, which makes me feel uncomfortable. He must be a naughty boy. My mother has come to Beijing again and will always be with me. I go downstairs for a walk twice a day. I eat and sleep well and everything is fine. I just miss you. This year’s Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers also sent me a letter of condolences and asked me to write a few words of thanks. I wonder if “Red Dress Popular on the Street” will win another award? Then I would be embarrassed. Speaking of which, I have been idle for half a year. When I think about the birth of my child, I may be a little worried that I may have nothing to do for a long time. I just went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, and they said I would probably give birth in July, maybe June, but it’s not surprising that I would give birth in May. Anyway, please come back soon... —I love you, Snow! " Chen Qi folded the letter and scratched his head, feeling worried. Naturally, he wanted to go back early to accompany Gong Xue in giving birth, but there were still some things to do here, so after some calculation, he would go back at the end of May. He immediately wrote a reply and pressed the phone: "The meeting will be held in ten minutes!" "OK!" Gu Weili went to make arrangements herself. Ten minutes later, Chen Qi went out to the conference room. Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Xian Qiran, Lin Lingdong... including Wei Jiahui, Chen Musheng, etc., all the creative staff of the left were there.

He stood in front of a small blackboard, as if giving a lecture. "Recently, I took some time to finish writing the script of "The Black Man" and officially started it. Today I want to share with you. I always say that Hong Kong films are workshops and Hollywood is industrialization. So what exactly is film industrialization? The core element is Division of labor. Starting from the script, to the producer, supervisor, insurance, director, casting, costume, special effects, etc., every link has a standard process, and the price is transparent and stable. What is a Hong Kong movie? There is no complete script, the paper is flying on the spot, and the price is based on human feelings. One person wears multiple hats, including director, actor, producer and screenwriter. This is unimaginable in Hollywood. Of course, today I am not talking about how to industrialize Hong Kong films, that is too far away..." Chen Qi said and sighed, let alone 1985, Chinese films will not be industrialized in 2025! The domestic film industry has formed a feudal system that is stuck in its own ways and has strict hierarchies. It is difficult to break through. "The Wandering Earth" is neither the beginning nor the end, it is an accident. That it could be born outside this system is a miracle in itself. "Today I'm going to talk about the creative concept of "Black Man" and how to shoot it?" He scribbled on the small blackboard, knocked, and said: "Old Xu was inspired by watching "Fatal Express" and asked if he could make a story about an urban hero? I followed this idea and wrote it into a script. . Since we want to enter the European and American markets, we have to take the right medicine. The first is the background. The world is bipolar in the Cold War, competing in all aspects, including scientific and not-so-scientific ones. The United States and the Soviet Union are both engaged in supernormal abilities. Well, China is also very enthusiastic. They are keen to develop the human body's potential to achieve some magical effects..." In this era, major countries are studying special abilities. For example, the United States has a Stargate Project, which specializes in wall penetration, invisibility, and remote sensing from thousands of miles away. It dreams of using remote sensing capabilities to disable Soviet nuclear bombs. They also want to create assassins who kill people with their thoughts. It is said that the US military got 100 goats and made the superpowers look at the goats. One man made the goats twitch to death with his thoughts. I don’t know if it’s true or not! This trend did not subside until the 1990s. In China, too, there is a craze for qigong and supernormal abilities. The legend of 749 Bureau began at this time. A few years later, it was made into a bad movie by director Lu Chuan. Many things are information from later declassified documents. Chen Qi couldn't talk about it. He casually talked about some contemporary events and said: "The whole world is keen on these, so I set the protagonist's identity as: a super soldier carefully cultivated by an organization. . China's organization will definitely fail. We love peace. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union was politically sensitive. So what is his organization? Remember, this phrase! "

He wrote four big characters: Nazi remnants! "If you want to create an international structure, but you don't know how to set up the villain, you just blame the Nazis!" "After World War II, some Nazi remnants hid their identities and pretended to be pharmaceutical companies, but they were actually conducting human experiments and collecting school-age children from all over the world. Become a super soldier. The protagonist is a poor child who grew up within the organization. He did not want to be controlled by the organization, so he escaped with his lover and a few friends. He was hunted down and everyone was separated. The protagonist was drifting at sea and was rescued by a family in Hong Kong. He was injured and lost his memory, but he discovered that he was super powerful and gradually integrated into his new life. Infected by this family, he began to help others and transformed into a black man at night to punish **** and eliminate evil. The organization is linked to Japanese underworld groups and is responsible for collecting children in East and Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong. They focused on the children of this family, clashed with the protagonist, and failed repeatedly. Finally, they sent a master who was also a super soldier. The protagonist was defeated, the family was killed, and the children were kidnapped. At this time, a lost friend found him, helped him completely recover his memory, and brought news about his lover. The protagonist is caught in a struggle. Is he going to stay away from the conflict to find his lover? Or fight for justice? Of course I chose the latter. In the final battle, they eradicated the Japanese group, but also alarmed the organization. The organization sent people to kill him, which led to the second part..." Chen Qi finished talking about the standard story template of later Hollywood in one breath, and said: "I said that the budget of this film was 30 million, but in fact it was not reached, but I will spend 20 million to make this film. There must be a big scene! Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! As for big scenes, I'm afraid that 20 million won't be enough, so we will go to the mainland to shoot part of it to get strong support. In addition, we need a few Japanese action actors and a few American action actors. Lao Xu, please pick a few assistants to make preliminary preparations together and list the required items. I am the producer of this film, and I will arrange the division of labor for production. I have to go back to be with my wife at the end of May, I hope you will come soon. " Chen Qi has already passed the stage of pioneering in Hong Kong. He is now a producer and rarely works as a producer anymore. And after he conquered Hong Kong, he had to start anew in Hollywood, preparing to personally supervise the filming of "The Black Man". He looked at the crowd and said: "Comrades, this is the movie we have invested the most in our history. We can't do industrialization now, but you can also propose such a project in the future, and we will shoot it as long as it is suitable. The first step is the most courageous, you must take this step! " It made everyone excited. Who in Hong Kong has such courage? That's leftist. In fact, if you think about it, 20 million Hong Kong dollars is only more than 2 million US dollars. What is it in Hollywood? In Hong Kong, the price is sky-high. … After the meeting, Chen Qi stopped Jiang Zhiqiang and said, "Ah Qiang, take copies of "Sweetheart" and "The Shocking" to the United States and tell Bob Shea some of the things I told him." "good!" "Then look for actors. Go to Hollywood first. If you can't find them, look for people in the European and American martial arts circles. There should be suitable ones." "clear!"
