"Before you went back to sleep with a single bed, and came back with a piece of bread, in good condition. Now you live in a big villa,Drive a Mercedes, and then give you a lot of things to cooperate. Your state is gone. _Span6span
This leads to a lot of things that could be done before, but can’t be done now.
In fact, this sentence should be proved in all walks of life. It is difficult to produce excellent works.
Wang Jing deserves to be Wang Jing, and has become a "everyone" in the industry.
understands the market, understands oneself, and also understands sentient beings. It makes sense, it is universal even in any industry.

Wei Junzi mentioned in his book "Hong Kong Movie Story",
is a professional division of 5span compared to Hollywood For its responsibility, the filmmakers of the golden age of Hong Kong films are good at full-time multi-functional and collective creation.
For example, when Chen Xunqi makes movies, he often serves as producer, director, leading actor, soundtrack, and Wu index. Robin, Wang Jing and other all-rounders are even more common.
But for Tsui Hark, To Qifeng, McDonald's and others, under the premise of ensuring the delivery of the film on time,
sometimes rushed to change, sometimes stopped, and sometimes stopped. Shoot,
is precisely the most normal style of the Hong Kong film era.
In this “inspired” creation of , has produced a lot of high-quality dramas! For example, in 1986, Chow Yun-fat’s movie "The True Colors of a Hero" set a box office record.

I also saw its figure in the good word-of-mouth drama "Please answer 1988" , five Korean middle school students, obsessively chasing Hong Kong in that period Movies and the stars in them~

The book "Hong Kong Movie Romance" not only vividly and objectively introduces the "turbulent times" of Hong Kong movies that year, the author also mentions the example of "The True Colors of Heroes" , The inside story behind the movie:
"The True Colors of Heroes" hit the market, causing the Dongxiang brothers to find the Mai brothers to follow suit and start filming the gang hero movie, and they played
, , Zhou Runspan, , , , , Wan Ziliang, Li Xiuxian, Yang Qun, Ke Junxiong, Carina Lau, Wang Xiaofeng "six queens" star card.
After confirming the performance lineup, McDonald immediately recalled the scriptwriters who had been solo and brought them to meet Xiang Huasheng.

Originally this thing came to an end, and it ended successfully.
However, Yongsheng feels that "Heroes" still has a lot of unused material that has been filmed. It is a pity that it is not necessary to discard it. It is better to cut out another one before passing it.
In order to ensure another profit, Yongsheng and McDonald decided to add an important character in the prequel " jianghuqing" as a new selling point- popular singer and Alan Tan as the "Mc Hero" , It only took 4 days to make up for Alan Tam's role.
One editing, one splicing, the production of a prequel "Jianghu Qing" was completed. After the movie was released, the box office reached 21 million !
In fact, this method of "recycling and reuse of discarded materials" not only allows film companies to make a fortune, it is also an excellent embodiment of the "flexible production" of Hong Kong films~
However, it is inevitable that people will be sick. For "opportunity", occasionally it is acceptable, and if you make things worse, you will only make Hong Kong films bad.
said so much, let’s take a look at this book together:
It shows readers the "jianghu" under the screen of Hong Kong film industry ,Telling the "secret history" of the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies ......
