The eavesdropping storm landed at Happy Camp, and three big men were bursting with popularity.

Recently, a batch of Chinese movies with the largest summer file lineup, Eavesdropping Storm, parachuted into Hunan, participated in the recording of Hunan Satellite TV's ace variety show Happy Camp, and created momentum for the film to detonate the summer file in advance. Not only Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu participated in the recording of the program, but also director Siu Fai Mak, producers Dong Chengyi and Fang Ping came together.

This participation in Happy Camp is not only the first time that the three tycoons have been invited to a variety show in the mainland, but also the first strong alliance between Pauline Bona, the flagship of domestic film, and Hunan Satellite TV, the leader of TV media.

Three big men are the first guests of Happy Camp.

Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu appeared in the program of Happy Camp at the same time. This is not only the first time that the program of Eavesdropping was released in the Mainland, but also the first time that the three of them participated in the recording of variety shows in the Mainland. Prior to this, Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu had never participated in variety shows in mainland China, and even similar shows in Hong Kong and Taiwan were rarely seen in recent years.

Therefore, the column group of Happy Camp is very excited about the arrival of three male stars. "Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu are guests of Happy Camp at the same time, which is the most luxurious lineup that the program group has received so far. Also, we know that the three of them basically did not participate in variety shows in the past, so this time not only made an exception (doing variety shows), but also three people appeared at the same time, which made us deeply honored and envied by other program groups. " In order to express our sincere reply to the arrival of the six bosses, the column group of Happy Camp went to other places and recorded a special VCR for The Eavesdropping Storm, which surprised the creator of The Eavesdropping Storm who was used to watching big scenes. What is the content of this video recorder? You can find the answer by watching Happy Camp.

Tickets for programs are sought after, and consultation calls are bursting.

Although the recording activity of Happy Camp didn't expose much information to the outside world, the fans of the three male stars still "eavesdropped" on the clues. According to the reporter's understanding, in order to get the ticketing information, fans call the program group one after another, no less than four or five hundred times a day, asking about relevant ticketing matters. Even some fans actually called Paulie Bona, making it difficult for the staff to cope with these persistent fans every day, but they still tried their best to satisfy their wishes. After all, this is the only mainland variety show of the three male stars so far. When the three male stars arrived at Changsha Huanghua Airport that day, many fans were waiting at the airport to welcome their idols with the "burning" enthusiasm of Hunan.

Shocking debut, the host "learned from the teacher"

The recording of this program is beyond imagination. He Jiong, the host, even said: "The recording of the program has never been so smooth, completely beyond our imagination in advance, and there are many surprises." Just after the opening of the program, the three big men made a stunning appearance and won thunderous exclamations from the host and audience. In the program, three big men show tacit understanding in the film. Even a small look and a small gesture surprised He Jiong, Nana, Vega and other presenters, making them hope to learn from their teachers on the spot and prepare for entering the film industry.

[Edit this paragraph] Starring comments:

Louis Koo "The most important thing is inner expression".

Role: Yang Zhen, an intelligence agent, has a heavy family pressure and suffers from cancer.

Self-report: eavesdropping is more troublesome than disciple. The character in The Disciple takes drugs. Addicts are simple. If you give him money, he will take drugs, so the appearance should match and the shape should be consistent with the character's heart. But the "eavesdropping storm" is more troublesome. He has to face many different pressures, such as family pressure, work pressure, brother pressure, and he also knows that he has cancer, so I think appearance helps me act when performing, but the most important thing is inner expression. Acting must be learned through acting.

Daniel Wu "He is basically a good man"

Role: Lin, an intelligence officer, married a rich wife.

Self-report: Why does a person do bad things? Not because he was born a bad person, but because environment, experience and external things will affect his decision. Just like my role in the eavesdropping storm, he is basically a good man. He loves his girlfriend very much and works very hard. It's just that he met an opportunity to make him feel that my life could have been much more comfortable, so he made a decision, but his decision was wrong. Everyone will make many wrong decisions in his life, but his decision is a big one, which completely changes his life. So everyone said he was a "bad" policeman.

Liu Qingyun's "Playing the ordinary people well is the biggest challenge".

Role: Liang Junyi, the head of the intelligence unit, falls in love with his colleague's ex-wife.

Self-report: This role is very different from the past. The biggest difference is that he is just a very ordinary person, seemingly strong in appearance, but indecisive in heart, often indecisive and even a little cowardly.

I think the most interesting thing is to play a very ordinary person. Like people around us in ordinary life, truth can resonate more and move people more. I think this type of role is very interesting, and I like the experience. The way you look at me, black eyes, black eyebrows and dark skin ... are already very eye-catching. Playing ordinary people well is the biggest challenge.

[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

"Eavesdropping Storm" focuses on the investigation of financial crimes, and Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu will play the eavesdropping team members of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau respectively. The purpose of their actions is to seize the black hand behind the illegal manipulation of stock prices, nibble at investors' hard-earned money and bring them to justice. But I didn't expect an unexpected piece of intelligence information to make three honest policemen have a mutation. I thought it was just a trivial greed, which would not be exposed and would not affect anyone. I never imagined that this little greed was fatal. As a result, the three men hated their mistakes and regretted them for life. ...

"Eavesdropping Storm" uses this story to uncover the beautiful shell of human greed, revealing that "greed" is not much different. Being greedy once is greed, and being greedy a hundred times is also greed. No matter whether the starting point is good or evil, greed is greed! At the same time, it also expounds an ancient and simple truth "don't do it with small evils."

The eavesdropping storm-director's brief introduction

Name: Zhuang.

English name: Zhuang Wenqiang.

Gender: male

Nationality: Hongkong, China

As a screenwriter, Zhuang has a record of scaring anyone in China movies, but this does not prevent him from continuing to be lonely, pessimistic and lacking in self-confidence. How to get out of confusion and pursue the truth in life and movies? The answer given by Zhuang is one good book after another: Shusaku Endo's Deep River, Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness in Life, Haruki Murakami's series of works, and Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged. In addition, he occasionally makes guest appearances as an actor and director. While studying at Hong Kong Baptist University, Zhuang began to take part in filming. After graduation, I worked as a photography assistant and lighting on the set. Later, he worked as a film data collector, and later joined the propaganda department of TV Broadcasting Co., Ltd. as an assistant director. At that time, Taiqing's slogan was: "Go all out and do your best!" He wrote this. After that, I became a screenwriter and an editor for four years. When I left the TV station, I only had a glass of water and a passion for movies.

Zhuang officially devoted himself to film creation in the 1930s. His first work was The Unemployed Emperor, co-edited with Ma Weihao. But it turned out that he had written more than a dozen plays before, but he didn't have a chance to start shooting, and there were many innovative themes similar to The Sixth Sense. However, because Zhuang was too persistent and refused to compromise, the result was still stored in drawers one by one. It was not until he met the opportunity of an unemployed emperor that he tried to open himself. Finally, I found a new direction, new opportunities and a new world for my creation. My later plays include: Sunshine Police, Tokyo Raiders, gen-x Police, Wishing Tree, Dreaming of Love for You, There is a Lion in Hedong, Infernal Affairs Series, Mice in Love with Cats, and Initial D, etc.

Name: Siu Fai Mak.

English name: Siu Fai Mak.

Gender: male

Birthday: 1965

Native place: Hongkong, China.

Siu Fai Mak is a highly regarded screenwriter and director in recent years, who is good at creating unique styles and roles. His representative works include "Chasing for 20 Years" and "Love and Sincerity". He also actively tried different challenges, such as being the producer of "Dream of Love You" directed by Liu Weiqiang and starring Andy Lau. Siu Fai Mak 1990 graduated from the Actors Department of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and 199 1 began to work as an assistant director of some small-budget films. Many years ago, he wrote the script of Infernal Affairs without being invited to start shooting, and I don't know if there is any chance to start shooting. But after many attempts, no one wanted to shoot. Fortunately, the whole world was discerning, and eventually Hong Kong films were made. Siu Fai Mak also ranks among the first-line directors.

[Edit this paragraph] Director's analysis

These three protagonists are actually separated from my humanity, and they represent a certain aspect of my personality.

This film brings together Liu Qingyun, Daniel Wu and Louis Koo. They do not exist in isolation. In fact, these three roles represent three aspects of my (Zhuang) humanity. For example, Liu Qingyun is a senior police officer. Although he had a sense of justice, he could not stop the illegal things in time, which led to a series of conflicts later. In fact, I have this personality. Look at Daniel Wu again. He plays the biggest villain in this movie. This character is greedy for money and desperate for it. The character's personality can also be found in me, but it is not as extreme as him. Finally, there is Louis Koo. He plays the role of a policeman with a heavy family burden. In order to make a living, he often has to make some helpless choices. Louis Koo's life dilemma in the movies, I also met it now.

We were paid too much to stay with Liu Weiqiang, so we chose to separate.

After Infernal Affairs, my (Siu Fai Mak) and Liu Weiqiang's pay went up. Plus Zhuang's salary as a screenwriter at that time, it was very expensive for the three of us. In the case of constant overall investment, if we don't separate, then the salaries of the three of us will take up a large part of the investment. How much will it cost to make a movie? So the three of us finally chose to end the cooperation.

Every character is complicated and has an imperfect personality.

In order to make this play well, the actors have made great efforts. Daniel Wu is an actor who keeps pace with the times, and his acting skills have been greatly improved. The villain he played this time is very different from his previous role in New Never Give up. The criminal played by Daniel Wu in "Eavesdropping Storm" is wearing a legal coat, and at the same time, he is a very cool-headed villain. He is a time bomb that may explode at any time around decent people.

Louis Koo is also a diligent actor. This time, he plays the role of father in the film, but this is different from the underworld father in Good Dad. This time, he is really a good father, and he is also a policeman. He has to worry about the daily necessities of life. The burden of life made him feel very tired. He even gained more than ten kilograms for this role, so this is a figure closer to reality.

Liu Qingyun won the Oscar for Best Actor. His strength is beyond doubt. He has his own ideas about the script, but the role he plays is the most thankless in the film. This is a policeman who dare not speak out boldly. Liu Qingyun can be said to be good at playing such a complicated role.

As for the only striking female role in the film, it is played by Zhang Jingchu. She is a trained person, with a strong performance foundation and understanding of roles. If she doesn't understand the role, she will ask us to understand. Only when she has thoroughly studied the role will she really enter the state. Zhang Jingchu's character has to deal with several men in the film. In fact, she is the most sober person in the film, and her firmness is in sharp contrast with the cowardice of Liu Qingyun's role.

Because of the skyrocketing stock market, the creativity of the film was born.

The earliest idea of creating this film was born in 2007, when Liu Weiqiang and I had just finished our cooperation. In fact, it was also a low tide of our creation, and the scripts we wrote always failed to find investment. Contrary to our creative environment, at that time, the Hong Kong stock market had soared to 32,000 points. At that time, there seemed to be very few people who didn't speculate in stocks. As long as they enter the stock market, it seems that they can make a lot of money. However, the film business is really so difficult to do. If you want to make a little money, you have to dig your brains out. Once, I sat in a cafe with director Siu Fai Mak, mainland songwriter, social activist Shen Baofeng, producer Fang Ping, and Fang Ping's wife Paw Hee-ching to discuss the script. Later, I unconsciously talked about the stock business. Mr. Shen Baofeng said that the stock plummeted last year and lost at least 20 million yuan. He also talked about some unknown black-box operations and shady activities in the stock market. At that time, we were very energetic.

The highlight of this film is that there are many stars and many good plays.

"Eavesdropping" is still a movie with a good plot, which really coincides with "Infernal Affairs". There are many actions and gun battles in "Eavesdropping", but they are all for the needs of the plot. The biggest attraction of this film is that there are many stars. In addition to Liu Qingyun, Daniel Wu and Louis Koo, there are new and old stars such as Zhang Jingchu, Fang Zhongxin and Li Zixiong, which are undoubtedly quite attractive to the market. In addition, in this play, we tried different editing styles, such as Infernal Affairs 1. We no longer use quick editing methods, but use relatively gentle editing methods to express a scene, which gives actors and directors a lot of room to play.

Dong Shengyi took the initiative to participate in the production of the film, and he helped the film the most.

Sure enough, after the script was written, Hong Kong's stock market and film market were in a state of depression, especially the film market. The audience didn't want to go to the cinema to see the film. Our economic crime police couldn't find any investment, and we almost gave up the project. However, at this time, there was a turning point. At that time, director Dong Chengyi came into contact with the script of "Eavesdropping Storm". Originally, everyone just wanted Dong Chengyi to make suggestions on the revision of the script, but unexpectedly, after reading the script, Dong Chengyi not only did not make suggestions on the revision, but praised the script and firmly said, "This script must be filmed!" At this point, the play finally got on the right track with the help of Dong Chengyi. He is responsible for finding investment and negotiating distribution, and he is fully responsible for business matters. We just need to concentrate on film creation. He never interfered with our creation and gave us the greatest freedom. Here, we are also very grateful for his help.
