Chapter 129 Li Hanxiang


    "Do you think this can be done?"


    "No panoramic view, just cut Yang Yuqian''s hand movements. After a while of busy work, the camera turns again, and Feng Hua Lian has been hung up."


    In the editing room, Chen Qi communicated with the old master in a friendly manner as usual.


    After these days of in-depth study, the old master also has a good understanding of "Tai Chi", and he really feels that this "fast and sharp" style is more beautiful.


    His surname was Fu. He was reported to the factory for taking private work outside, and as a result he was unable to join the party. If he can''t join the party, certain professional titles and benefits will be lost. The old man hates it in his heart because he doesn''t like anyone.


    But he was short on people, and he got along well with Chen Qi. They occasionally chatted with each other, and gradually he felt that they were in the same boat because they were both reported by villains.


    "You can cut it like this, but your binding technique is very strange. Where did you learn it?"


    The old master looked at the footage and saw that Feng Hualian was a ninja, good at using flying claws, ropes, etc., and fought with Yang Yuqian. In the end, he was **** using a method called "rope art" and hung from the beam.


    This was naturally Chen Qi''s idea. He had played it before in his previous life. No, he had seen other people play it...


    "Director Li Wenhua did it. I don''t know. Let''s just cut it like this."


    He passed the blame as usual, and the two of them were studying when suddenly someone came in from the outside and said, "Xiao Chen, the factory director asked you to go there."


    "Oh good!"


    Chen Qi stood up, left the editing room, and went straight to the main building. He saw a car parked downstairs and wondered: Who is here?


    …


    In the factory director''s office, Wang Yang was entertaining guests.


    He has thick eyebrows and small eyes, wears black-rimmed glasses, has dark skin, and has a big mouth. He wears a decent suit and tie, and his hair is meticulously combed. The two temperaments of elegance and cunning are imbued in him at the same time.


    His name is Li Hanxiang, he is 54 years old this year.


    Born in Liaoning and raised in Beijing, he studied painting. In 1947, he went to Hong Kong to enter the film industry. He is a founding figure and one of the top directors in Hong Kong.


    His representative works include "Beauty of the Land", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Warlord", "Story of Love", "Double Beauty in the Golden Vase", etc. Jackie Chan also played soy sauce in "Double Beauty in the Golden Vase", talking about Ximen Qing, As for Pan Jinlian’s story, Jackie Chan played the pear seller Yun Ge.


    This film faithfully restored the scene of "Pan Jinlian hanging upside down on the grape trellis": Jinlian spread her thighs and was tied to the grape trellis. Ximen Qing sat opposite and took aim, throwing the grapevine into her...


    I won’t go into details about Li Hanxiang’s brilliance. I will only say that he has extremely high attainments in classical art and has a strong pursuit of historical dramas, but he cannot film real historical dramas in a place like Hong Kong. Moreover, he sold himself to Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Brothers knew that he had to make money.


    Li Hanxiang is fond of classical music and romantic style.


    In order to cater to the market, he combined the two to create a unique genre film: the classical romance film.


    Hong Kong only had a classification system in the late 1980s. At that time, it was called Category III films. Before that, it was called romance films. Therefore, classical romance films are, to put it bluntly, period third-level films.


    Li Hanxiang took this photo for many years, until 1978, when he secretly went north to visit relatives and friends.


    At that time, I had been to Beijing Film Studio and met Wang Yang. His mainland colleagues tried their best to persuade him to come back to film. Li Hanxiang also wanted to make some real classical movies, so he readily agreed.


    The first one I chose was Lao She''s "Teahouse", and I was planning to cooperate with Beijing Film Studio, but I was worried that it would not work well. Then I fell in love with Pu Yi''s "The First Half of My Life", but the official said that some people in the book are still alive. Well, the decision has not yet been made, so I suggest you choose another theme.


    After much picking and choosing, Li Hanxiang decided to film this period of Cixi''s history, which later became "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Hearing Behind the Curtain".


    It was decided last year to cooperate with Changying Film Studio and the contract was signed. As a result, Changying Film Studio had financial problems and could not afford the money. There was no progress here, and Shaw Brothers urged him to renew his contract.


    Li Hanxiang also had to earn money to make ends meet, so he had to return to Hong Kong and continue filming for Shaw Brothers.


    "Long time no see, old factory director, you are still so tough!"


    He speaks fluent Beijing dialect and is very talkative, saying: "This time, Rongbaozhai (a time-honored shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study) celebrated its 30th anniversary. More than 200 people from all walks of life gathered together. I was fortunate to be invited, so I went north again. Dropped in to see you.”


    "You are quite proficient in antiques. You should go take a look. I don''t understand anything. It''s a waste of time if you go." Wang Yang did not smoke cigarettes. He smoked the foreign cigarettes brought by Li Hanxiang. He felt weak and said: "伱Is there any progress on that play?”


    "Not yet. The mainland has been unable to come up with a specific plan, and I can''t start work. I have written several drafts of the script. I will visit the playwright tomorrow and go back the day after tomorrow... Oh!"


    Li Hanxiang felt a little lonely and sighed: "I have signed another ten film contracts with Shaw Brothers. Let''s go work for others."


    "You''re still filming your romantic movies?"


    "Otherwise, there is a market for romantic films, and that old boy Run Run Shaw never loses money. By the way, I heard that your company has produced "Teahouse"?"


    "Directed by Xie Tian, ??the original cast of People''s Art is on board, including Su Zhi, Zheng Rong, Lan Tianye, Ying Ruocheng, and Huang Zongluo."


    "Stop, stop, you are greedy for me!"


    Li Hanxiang smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "When you are famous, you have to cherish your life. I was afraid that I would not be able to film "Teahouse" well and ruin the sign. I regretted it after hearing what you said. If I had known that I would have insisted on filming "Teahouse". "


    "Dong dong dong!"


    "Please come in!"


    At this moment, Chen Qi knocked on the door and came in. He was very surprised when he saw the man on the sofa, oh, isn''t this Li Hanxiang and Li Heizi (dark skin)?


    But he had to pretend not to know him and said: "Director, are you looking for me?"


    "Come on, Xiao Chen, I''ll introduce you to a great director from Hong Kong!"


    Wang Yang stood up with a smile and introduced him personally, saying, "This is a young screenwriter in the factory who has written three scripts for Great Wall."


    Li Hanxiang considered himself a scholar and was arrogant. If Wang Yang mentioned "Lushan Love", he would definitely not care. But when Wang Yang said that he had written three scripts for The Great Wall, he couldn''t help but look at Chen Qi and be quite surprised.


    "How old are you?"


    "20 years old!"


    20 years old!


    Li Hanxiang raised his eyebrows, agreeing that he was qualified to sit here. He was not so awesome when he was 20 years old.


    Chen Qi secretly rolled his eyes, bam! You despise me, and I despise you. You do a lot of **** and ruin things. But there is no need to pay attention to this. Li Hanxiang''s behavior is at best a failure of the private ethics of a scholar.


    Didn’t he sign a ten-film contract with Shaw Brothers?


    Before he could finish it, he went north to film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain". Shaw Brothers reported him. Li Hanxiang was banned from Hong Kong and Taiwan and could only come to the mainland to film - and he was also given a Tony Leung Ka Fai, so he was also a target of the United Front.


    At this moment, Li Hanxiang looked at this young man.


    As everyone knows, the other party is thinking about how to accept him.


    Wang Yang intended to let Chen Qi show his face more in front of the great director, and said with a smile: "Even though he is young, he also likes to collect old objects. There are only two of them in his room. Uh, are they from the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty?"


    "Two chairs from the Ming Dynasty."


    "Yes, there are old books and so on, piled all over the house."


    "Oh? Are you good at this too?"


    Li Hanxiang''s eyes lit up.


    "I know a little bit about it, and I usually go shopping when I have nothing to do. Nowadays, many good things are scattered among the people, and some people use Qianlong''s porcelain to pickle pickles. It hurts to see it."


    "That''s right! We have the obligation to collect them and keep them well to prevent the pearls from becoming dusty!"


    Li Hanxiang collected antiques all his life and entrusted them to Ma Weidu before he died. Ma Weidu said it himself. He couldn''t sit still now and said: "This is a rare opportunity. Let''s go to your place to see the chair?"
