Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"I am honored to invite Mr. Chen Mubai to shoot a Hong Kong-style movie for us. I look forward to bringing this story to everyone. Thank you for your support!"

Times Media and other investors jointly published this news, which instantly became a hot topic in current news.

"Fuck, Chen Mubai took over Hong Kong movies?"

"This is asking for death. Hong Kong movies are almost dead, and he dares to take it?"

"This seems to be the first time he has taken over someone else's movie. How dare he challenge the difficulty for the first time?"

"No, I fell asleep watching the "Anti-Corruption Bureau" during the Spring Festival. It was really too spicy. If it wasn't for the nostalgia for Hong Kong movies in the past, I wouldn't even watch it. The result is really rubbish. No wonder now Hong Kong films are no longer available.”

"It's amazing, when Hong Kong movies are in decline, you still dare to make Hong Kong-style movies. Has Chen Mubai ever died?"

Basically, everyone thought that Chen Mubai was looking for excitement.

Local Hong Kong film directors can't save Hong Kong films. How can he, a mainland director, make them?

There are differences in the personal style and regional style of the film. Even if the same script is made by the director of Xiangjiang and the director of the mainland, two effects may be presented in the end. This is the unique style of the region.

A general script is a general storyline, many of which need to be filled in, and there are very few complete storyboard scripts.

Generally, shooting is the responsibility of the director. The screenwriter only cares about the lines and the general structure of the plot, but when shooting starts, the director will add or delete the content of the script according to the situation on the scene.

Therefore, even if it is the same script, the effects produced by different people are different.

Only Chen Mubai did both screenwriting and director work, and the script he handed over to Chen Yunteng was directly a script with sub-shots, so there was not much difference in the shooting.

After all, these complete images are in his mind, and they have been verified as excellent shots, so naturally they will not be deleted.

If Chen Yunteng wants to add some of his own ideas in it, that's fine too, as long as the plot can connect the past and the future.

When the news came out, except for Chen Mubai's fans who supported him as always, most of the audience were still not optimistic.

It's not that I don't like Chen Mubai's ability, but I don't like Hong Kong-style movies.

If the subject matter is badly filmed, turn it over and make it into a martial arts movie, or a police and gangster movie.

There are too many such movies, and there are many excellent works, which are basically played out. It is very difficult to make new ideas from the same subject matter.

Just like the movie "Anti-Corruption Bureau", it is about the anti-corruption department's inspection of corruption within government departments.

There are many anti-corruption films of this kind, and they are just a few tricks. Everyone gets tired of watching them, so they are not interested in this type of film. After all, there is nothing new, and you know the end when you see the beginning.

It would be fine for Chen Mubai to only be a director. He has outstanding talent, and everyone is still looking forward to it.

Just like "Master of Hypnotism", the general consensus is that the quality of the movie should not be bad, but the schedule is limited and the subject matter is limited, so the box office may not be ideal.

But if you want to make Hong Kong films now, the style is fixed, and the talent is also limited, so the things you shoot will have checks and balances. It is extremely difficult to make excellent films.

This is also the reason why Luo Fan thought that Chen Mubai would refuse when he approached Chen Mubai. The challenge was indeed very difficult.

Soon, Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment also released an announcement.

"Thank you Times Media...for your trust in me. As a child who grew up watching Hong Kong movies, it is a very wonderful thing to have the opportunity to direct a Hong Kong-style movie."

"When I was a child, watching the police and gang fights in the movie, I thought, when will I have the opportunity to participate in this kind of movie, and now I have the opportunity to shoot a movie that I have always wanted to make , I want to tell this story for everyone to see.”

"The name of the movie is Infernal Affairs,

It tells the story of the struggle between the police and the gang, undercover. "

Chen Mubai directly stated the title of the movie and announced the name.

Typical Hong Kong-style movies are also familiar routines.

"Support Chen Mubai, I believe he can shoot works that satisfy us!"

"come on!"

"That's the undercover story between the police and the gangsters. Didn't this subject matter have been filmed badly..."

"The last "Undercover" was also about undercover agents, but it was very silly when filmed. I hope Chen Mubai will not be so mentally retarded."

"Hong Kong movies are indeed on the decline. The box office of the previous "Undercover" was only 100 million. People of the same genre don't pay for it anymore. I don't know how the performance of "Infernal Affairs" will be..."

"It's not that the subject matter of undercover is bad, but it's that I've watched too much. I feel that there are only so many routines. What else can I do? But I also hope that Chen Mubai can break the deadlock and make a wonderful undercover film!"

 …

"You should know that Mubai Entertainment is cooperating with the company from Xiangjiang to make a Hong Kong film!"

Starway Entertainment shareholders meeting.

After the first news from Chen Mubai's side came out, they immediately had a discussion.

"See, it seems that the unpopular theme "The Hypnotist" has made him confident. He thinks it can change everyone's inherent impression of Hong Kong movies?"

"Or is he just arrogant, and the success of "Master of Hypnotism" catalyzed his ambition and inflated it?"

"I hope he can fail, and then ruin his popularity and reputation. This is good news." Someone said with a smile.

Some shareholders said: "Anyway, this is good news for us."

"Before we were worried that if we released Shen Meng's concert, we might be attacked maliciously by Chen Mubai, but now it seems that they don't have time to make small moves."

"That's right, Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment should be focusing on movies now, and we are safe for the time being in terms of music."

When they decided to avoid Chen Mubai before, they took the route of music and held a concert for Shen Meng.

After communicating with Shen Meng, Shen Meng happily agreed and is preparing for the concert.

But Starway Entertainment didn't announce the news so quickly, they were waiting for an opportunity.

Because they are afraid that after speaking out now, Chen Mubai will take some actions, such as holding a concert to deal with them, which is not impossible.

"Master of Hypnotism" has been completed, and Chen Mubai has no new moves, so he is still very likely to deal with them after seeing the news. He has time and energy now.

Right now is a good opportunity, Chen Mubai wants to shoot a new movie, and he has no time to take care of them, so naturally it won't affect them.

"We can announce Shen Meng's concert and let fans look forward to it. We will also start to build momentum for her concert and spread the influence."

For Starway Entertainment, whether Chen Mubai succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with them, they just want to hold a good concert.

If Chen Mubai fails, they will definitely be happy and hope to see him fail.

"This time, God gave us good luck. Chen Mubai will face failure, and our concert will be successful, haha!"

"Everyone can wait and see Chen Mubai's jokes when the time comes."

The shareholders of Starway laughed heartily. They haven't been this happy for a long time.

Regardless of the quality of "Infernal Affairs", at least they don't think that Chen Mubai can make a pure Hong Kong film, and he is not from Hong Kong, so how can he make a movie of that style?

They thought that Luo Fan's illness was just rushed to the doctor.

Or, just because Chen Mubai is currently very popular, so he was invited?

As for the box office of the film, the pure Hong Kong film style is not good, and you are still counting on a layman to save it?

The decline of Xiangjiang's films is inevitable, and it is an irreparable ending. They can only linger on, or they are willing to change, no longer limited to Hong Kong style, and start to move closer to the mainland.

 …

"Yaoyao, let me tell you something." Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao were on the phone.

"What's the matter?" Tao Yaoyao asked curiously.

"My next movie is confirmed, and I have a role for you, but there are not many scenes, and the company from Xiangjiang invested." Chen Mubai briefly described the matter.

"You're going to be busy with a new movie so soon!" Tao Yaoyao was a little surprised.

Not long after the new year, "The Master of Hypnotism" was released, Chen Mubai didn't have much time to rest, and he had to devote himself to work, which was really hard work.

"Well, this time I'm going to shoot a gangster movie, Hong Kong style."

Tao Yaoyao was surprised: "Huh? You want to make a Hong Kong movie?"

"Hong Kong movies are no longer good in the past few years, and their reputation abroad has been ruined. You shouldn't accept it!" Tao Yaoyao was a little impatient.

Chen Mubai told Tao Yaoyao immediately when he decided to take over the film, so she didn't know that Chen Mubai had already cooperated with the other party.

"I'm confident that there will be many Xiangjiang stars in this film, and I specially reserved a role for you." Chen Mubai said with a smile.

"Okay, when will the filming start?" Tao Yaoyao pouted.

"The movie is under preparation. They are inviting stars to arrange the schedule. I will let you know when the time is fixed."

"Then what do I need to do to prepare?"

"No need, this time you play my girlfriend in it, just play in your true colors, the female character is beautiful, you fit it perfectly." Chen Mubai said touching words of love.

"You made fun of me again~"

"No, I'm telling the truth!" Chen Mubai said righteously.

"Hey~"

"By the way, I prepared a song for you." Chen Mubai said.

"New song?"

"Do you remember the song 'Fade'?"

"I know!"

"That's the song, I wrote the lyrics, you try it, I think your voice is very suitable for that song."

"Ah?" Tao Yaoyao hesitated, "That pure music song is very nice, but I don't have the confidence to sing it well."

"Fade" has become popular all over the world, and the pure music of this song is very beautiful.

But because of this, if the lyrics for this song are not very good, it will cause dissatisfaction among people who like this song, and they will think that the song is ruined.

Writing lyrics or arranging music for songs that have been famous for a long time must face this kind of risk, because the songs already have audiences and loyal fans. Once the quality does not satisfy them or exceeds or reaches the original quality, it will definitely fail.

But the original song was so successful, how easy is it to break through?

Tao Yaoyao was not afraid that people would question her if she sang badly, but that the person who wrote the lyrics for this song was Chen Mubai. Even though he was the original creator of the song, he would still be scolded if the song did not meet the quality that everyone thought. , will also be scolded for unnecessary actions.
