Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

"Pornographic Men and Women" is about the idealistic young director Ah Xing (Zhang Guorong) who fell into directing a tertiary film due to his difficult situation, and after he accepted the reality, he decided to make a story with a high quality tertiary film. All along, this film has been considered by the audience to be the director Er Dongsheng in the master's own way, in fact, the story prototype is not him, Er Dongsheng said in an interview that there is someone else, and often out of good intentions do not want to say the other person's name.

"Pornographic Men and Women" has been released for so many years, in fact, the prototype is said to be harmless, the story is from the real experience of Er Dongsheng's friend and also his assistant director, Lin Qinglong. Lin Qinglong started from the field note, in the late 1980s to be Wang Jing's assistant director, executive director, has participated in the "God of Gamblers", "Gambler", "Chasing Boys", "Heavenly Love" and other films shooting, in the early 90s, under the pressure of life, made some tertiary films, such as the familiar "Hong Kong Strange Case of the Blood-Sucking Guili King", "Manchu Qing Ten Tortures" and other films, 2000 has also had a small number of small production films came out...

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Why did Zhang Guorong take over the third-level film "Pornographic Men and Women", and since he was deceived into filming "Spring on the Spring in the Red Chamber", Zhang Guorong has decided to stay away from this kind of naked third-level film, so what made him take this third-level film with ** nude shots? In fact, the lead actor found in "Color" at the beginning was not Zhang Guorong, but jacky Cheung, the Hong Kong singer god, but Jacky Cheung could not accept the bold performance, so he resigned. Er Dongsheng They later found Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi agreed to take over the film after consideration, so the crowd re-made the script, the name of the protagonist of the script was changed to "A Xing", but later Zhou Xingchi and the director had differences of opinion and proposed to resign. Helplessly, Er Dongsheng wanted to come and go, had to find Zhang Guorong to fight the fire, Zhang Guorong read the script and felt very good, he agreed to it - and the names of the characters in the film were too late to change, so everyone watching "Pornographic Men and Women" will find that Zhang Guorong is still called "A Xing".

(2) "Merry Christmas" Zhang Guorong Chen Baiqiang double mystery

If you pay attention, you will find that in the movie "Merry Christmas", Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang do not show their faces at the same time. Why? When Zhang Guorong was filming "Unemployed Student", he announced that this film was the last cooperation between him and Chen Baiqiang, and the reason at that time was that "the images of the two were too similar." Three years later, the two worked together again in the same film, but it was no longer an image problem, but a full-fledged montage. Zhang Guorong is serious about filming, strict with himself, and the things he can personally complete are all done by himself, and he will not use a stand-in as a last resort. For example, when filming "Drummer", Zhang Guorong did not want to fake his hands to others, so he asked the director to give him time to learn to play drums, and the drumming shots in the film were all Played by Zhang Guorong himself; later filming "Farewell to the King", he took the time to go to Beijing to learn Peking Opera, so that he could play the role without the help of a stand-in. But in "Merry Christmas", "Zhang Guorong", who appears in the same scene as Chen Baiqiang, is actually a stand-in.

(3) Another ending of "The Legend of Ah Fei"

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Like "Carmen in Mong Kok", "The Legend of Ah Fei" also reserved other endings. One of them is Zhang Guorong's suicide by jumping off a bridge in the Philippines as the end of the story of the first episode. This bridge section was not released, but after more than ten years, it was ruthlessly staged in a different location. Say otherwise. When Wong Kar-wai took Cheung Kwok Wing and Andy Lau to the Philippines to shoot a scene, he actually filmed a lot of scenes, such as the story of Cheung Kwok Wing's birth mother, the murder of Xu Zai's father, how the maid witnessed how to ventilate the news... They were all filmed. In this way, the story line is bound to be clearer, but the release version is all deleted.

(4) Why is the end of "Fire Youth" so bad?

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

"Fire Youth" actually has two beginnings, one first explains the situation of Tang Zhenye's family, and the other is that Tang Zhenye directly negotiates with the other family. They're all very good and outstanding. Equally impressive is the out-of-place killing ending, which can be described inexplicably.

It is said that when filming "Burning Youth", Tan Jiaming's preparation to shooting was very slow, the time was delayed again and again, and what is more fatal is that the film was only half filmed, he had already spent the budget funds, and with the layout structure he designed, this play could not be finished in three hours. When the investment law saw such a situation, it immediately stopped, found Qiu Gangjian, Fang Lingzheng and other five well-known screenwriters to put out the fire, and asked for a quick ending. These screenwriters then whimsically set up a Japanese female spy killer to lurk in Hong Kong, killing Tang Zhenye, Zhang Guorong and others on the beach. And it is no longer Tan Jiaming who makes up the play, but Tang Jiming, the director of "Kill out of the West Camp". Tang Jiming later became the director of the Hong Kong "Duck" film.

(5) Why does "East Evil and West Poison" appear narration?

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

"East Evil and West Poison" is a costume film, also known as a martial arts film, with a lot of narration, which has violated the basic principles of Hong Kong cinema. But the use of narration in "East Evil and West Poison" is not to continue the habits of previous king-style movies. But because many of Wong Kar-wai's martial arts stories as a child were heard on the radio. Therefore, Wong Kar-wai wants to make the movie "understand with listening".

In the whole drama of "East Evil and West Poison", except for Zhang Guorong, there are not many shots taken by others. And most of them are fragments, so there is no better way to use narration to connect the pictures. It is also a blessing in disguise, because the film was not designed at all when the narration was made, Zhang Shuping had difficulties and troubles when they cut, so they had to write the narration while cutting, and did not want to, with the passage of time, these narrations have been regarded as classics. Exactly the opposite of the English name of the movie.

(6) Why does Zhang Guorong play "Elvis Presley" only appear for a few seconds in "The Great Three Yuan"?

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Zhang Guorong transformed into a small white-faced "Elvis Presley" in the play, but he was afraid that others would say that he was "an old man playing a youth". And this role appears very inexplicably, without too much drama. In fact, in the final analysis, Xu Ke's arrangement was not in place. At that time, Xu Ke designed a scene of playing Elvis presley and singing early, but the song music was not done well, only a set of costumes was made, and the movie was catching up. Xu Ke thought that Zhang Guorong's role as "Elvis Presley" must be very interesting, or let him try it. Unfortunately, I can't sing a song, and I can only taste it. Of course, this segment is at least longer than the cameo in Dog Bites Dog Bone. He is also one of Zhang Guorong's few disguised entertainment industry superstars.

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Otherwise, I just remember him wearing the mask of Woody Allen, the famous Hollywood independent film director, in "Golden Leaves 2". And why is Woody Allen, probably also simple, the film director Chen Kexin said: "Woody - Allen is the father of my film, I give everything to Woody - Allen, I even have an impact on his outlook on life." ”

(7) How was "Golden Jade ManTang" born

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Xu Ke originally wanted to make a Hong Kong special song and dance film in the New Year's Eve of that year (equivalent to Chen Kexin's New Year's Eve launch of "If - Love" ten years later), the protagonist had already locked Zhang Guorong, and the name was booked as "Dragon Xiang Phoenix Dance", but it was already October, and the time was simply too late, and Xu Ke and Huang Baiming's oriental films had to give up this plan. Coincidentally, at that time, the food movies "Guy Head Fuxing" and "Diet Men and Women" were very popular, and Xu Ke was optimistic about this market and decided to launch a cooking movie in the New Year file. Therefore, he took out the script of "Full Seat of Man han" written around 1988 and revised it again.

In view of the repetition of the theme of chef fighting in previous food movies, Xu Ke weakened the play of the three chefs Zhong Zhentao, Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin, and with Zhang Guorong's trump card on hand, he strengthened the love line of Zhang Guorong Xueyi, Zhang Guorong and Yuan Yongyi, and the father-daughter line between Yuan Yongyi and Luo Jiaying, looking forward to being different from other food films. After the film was completed, it was released in Hong Kong and renamed "Golden Jade Man Tang", while Taiwan and mainland China still followed the title of the previous script "Man Han Quan Xi".

(8) The reason for the sequel to "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

In 1994, "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" was originally a complete story, acclaimed, win-win box office reputation, and there was no sequel in Chen Kexin's eyes. But one of his failures made King a pretty good sequel.

In 1994, after filming "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", Chen Kexin was full of vigor, the box office of 30 million made him soar in the UFO company, friends and partners did not dare to criticize and point out his approach, at this time Chen Kexin hesitated and was full of ambition and ambition, determined to shoot an ambitious work that talked about the "great righteousness of life" - "Concubine Sail". Just like the harmonic sound of the title, after the film came out, the loss was serious, and the UFO company was troubled since then (the company's boss Zeng Zhiwei said many times that the title was not a good intention), and finally was annexed by Jiahe due to financial problems.

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

In order to recover the company's losses, Chen Kexin accepted the company's suggestion and began to prepare the sequel to "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" that he did not want to make. Even so, Chen Kexin could only stop working because he found the idea of developing a sequel, at that time, he had two ideas, one was to shoot "Sweet Honey", and the other was to shoot the story of extramarital affairs. Later, under the inspiration and suggestion of Zhong Zhen and others, it was decided to put the idea of extramarital affairs into "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2", and after talking with Zhang Guorong, Rong Shao also agreed to this idea. At this time, it was only at the real starting stage of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2".

Zhang Guorong's image of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" is very popular, and he also helps a lot in the sequel, in addition to inviting Mei Yanfang to come over to shoot the scene, he also serves as the assistant director of the film - because the film time is too fast, it can only be divided into three groups to shoot, Chen Kexin, Zhang Guorong and Zeng Zhiwei single-handedly picked up a group shooting.

(9) Why should "Little Relatives" thank Zhang Guorong?

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

UFO's films often have Zhang Guorong's "appearance", not only filming one or two episodes of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", but also making cameo appearances in "Remember... When the bananas are ripe 2, Anna Madeleine. This has a lot to do with the fact that Zhang Guorong and UFO boss Zeng Zhiwei are old friends. Cheung is also happy to help this creative film company. But there is a UFO movie, "Little Relatives" starring Chen Huilin Aaron Kwok (listening to the song), and the end of the film also thanked Zhang Guorong, why is this?

Xi Zhongwen used to do costume design for Zhang Guorong in movies such as "Ghost of Qiannu" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and when Xi Zhongwen became a director, Zhang Guorong offered to help, "Anna Madelelena" Zhang Guorong made a cameo performance, "Little Relatives" did not have a suitable role, Xi Zhongwen asked Zhang Guorong to guide Chen Huilin to act. It is said that the props such as vinyl discs needed in the film are also provided by Zhang Guorong.

(10) Why "Red Lover" asked Zhang Guorong to play a communist party member

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

In the mind of director Ye Daying, there is a kind of Communist Party member who has profound cultivation and has a lot of experience, and should have a new image, a man who is firm and tenacious, has connotations, and lives a spiritual life, rather than the kind of person who is five big and three thick and scolds his mother.

After Ye Daying encountered an opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Guorong, he carefully looked at Zhang Guorong's previous films and found that Zhang Guorong had a very unique temperament, which was very consistent with the temperament needed by the characters in his films, Zhang Guorong was born in a rich family, had a good education, and was fluent in English, which was more in line with the needs of the role, so he resolutely asked Zhang Guorong to shoot "Red Lover".

(11) The origin of the title of "Meteor Language"

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

The film Meteor Whisperer was originally titled "Black Head Mang", and the story is from Chaplin's "Charlie and the Child". It was the opening of the "Creative Alliance" of Er Dongsheng Zhang Zhiliang and other groups, when Zhang Guorong (at first, he did not dare to look for Zhang Guorong, but wanted to find Liang Chaowei) to help promote the concept of "actors pay less for films, and make movies in the form of participation", and Zhang Guorong symbolically received a dollar for film remuneration.

"黐 (pronounce chi) head mang" refers to the child who is pestering people, but the title is too puzzling, and many people in Hong Kong want the director to explain what it means. Later, Zhang Guorong wrote a theme song called "Meteor Language" for the movie, because it was too much to match this movie, Zhang Zhiliang's eyes lit up after listening to it, and he used the name to make the title, and the theme song written by Zhang Guorong was later changed to "Little Star".

"Meteor Language" did not succeed, at least for the "Creative Alliance", because Er Dongsheng, Wong Kar-wai, Xu Anhua, Chen Kexin, Zhang Aijia... Each person's plan to make a movie was all foiled, leaving only zhang zhiliang and Zhang Guorong's only work (Zhang Guorong is one of the producers because of his 49% stake, so the film also indicates Zhang Guorong's works).

In 2005, others quit the "Creative Alliance", the company belonged to Zhang Zhiliang's name, he also paid the debt, and happily handed over 49% of the profits belonging to Zhang Guorong to Mr. Tang, thanking Zhang Guorong for standing up for him.

(12) "Ghost of a Woman" Xiao Qian was not Wang Zuxian at the beginning

Xu Ke filmed "Qiannu Ghost" at the beginning of the set Zhang Guorong as the male lead, and the female lead was slow to find a suitable candidate, when the choreographers had considered Jacky Cheung's wife Luo Meiwei, but also considered the Japanese actress, but did not choose the right person. At that time, Wang Zuxian, who was still young in fame, knew about it, so he introduced himself to mao Sui, the choreographer of "Qian", and as a result, when he auditioned, the shape was just right. Tsui ke unanimously admired.

"Qian" is a piece, Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuxian cooperate with tacit understanding, and the combination of the two adds a lot. Zhang Guorong's scholar Ning Caichen and Wang Zuxian's "Xiao Qian" have become classic roles in the film that the audience will never forget.

(13) "Wind and Moon" Wang Zuxian introduced himself, but he was turned away because of his blessing

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Zhang Guorong auditioned for "Wind moon" scene, wang Zuxian was eliminated miserably. The success of "Farewell to the Overlord" made Zhang Guorong have double his trust in Chen Kaige, which also laid the foundation for the two to cooperate in "Wind moon". After the male protagonist is selected, the female protagonist is selected. At that time, Liu Jialing also intended to star, but was rejected on the grounds that she was older and did not match the age of the heroine in the play. The heroine of "Wind Moon" was initially selected by Wang Jingying, a newcomer recognized by Xu Feng, the boss lady of Tomson, and the scene had already started filming, but it was not long before Chen Kaige felt that he had looked away before, and Wang Jingying was not on the right path, so he proposed to change the heroine.

As soon as the result was changed, chen Kaige's current wife, Chen Hong, was replaced. This seemingly favoritism did not last long, Chen Kaige took regret pills again, and once again proposed to change people. In view of this, Zhang Guorong recommended Maggie Cheung, although the previous cooperation between the two in "The Legend of Ah Fei" was very brilliant, but it was not the ideal character for Chen Kaige's play, and he was also excluded.

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

After Wang Zuxian, a big star who became popular with Zhang Guorong in "Qiannu Ghost", knew the news, he was not afraid of gossip and bravely introduced himself, but unfortunately, at that time, due to the excessive blessing of the little wang beauty, he failed to pass the audition. (See pictured) Wang Zuxian did not make "Wind Moon", but then he also signed Tomson and made her last film so far, "Beautiful Shanghai", but Wang Meiren seemed to be very prone to fattening, and was photographed by the paparazzi with serious fat, and the film was once stopped.

Zhang Guorong and many actresses were tired of auditioning, and only then did they know that the heroine candidate in Chen Kaige's mind was Gong Li, who had cooperated with Zhang Guorong in "Farewell to the Overlord" (at this time, Chen Kaige had forgotten that Gong Li was the same age as Liu Jialing). At that time, Gong Li and her boyfriend Zhang Yimou were filming "Shake Ya Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", unable to cooperate with Chen Kaige, so Chen Kaige stopped filming "Wind Moon" and waited until Gong Li freed up time to start shooting again. Several easy heroines, causing serious losses to Tomson Company, and later the "Wind Moon" market was not successful, Xu Feng never cooperated with Chen Kaige again, although chen Kaige who signed the contract still owes her several films...

"Rouge Buckle" also almost encountered the fate of "making up the play", because after the scene was filmed, He Guanchang, one of the bosses of Jiahe and Mei Yanfang's father, felt that the effect he wanted was not like this, and was ready to take out 4 million to make up the play.

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

On November 13, 1991, Tomson Xu Feng announced that he signed Zunlong for 1.5 million US dollars and would star in "Farewell to the King". But the good times did not last long, and after more than a month, the two sides argued over the details of the contract, and in December, Zun Long officially proposed to resign from "Overlord Farewell".

Zun Long, who signed the contract, resigned from "Yu Ji", which made things turn around, and everyone focused on "Zhang Guorong, the most suitable candidate who was unanimously agreed to be the most suitable". In 1992, Chen Kaige secretly flew to Hong Kong, personally met with Zhang Guorong, and finally reached an agreement. According to Zhang Guorong, Jiang Wen also said that he would like to play the role of Yu Ji. Chen Kaige was once the overlord's consideration.

(18) Filming "Accidental" felt "gang-raped" by Wang Zuxian, Ye Tong and Mei Yanfang

Talking about filming with Mei Yanfang, Wang Zuxian and Ye Tong in Europe, Zhang Guorong said: "The European scenes are concentrated on me and the three of them, I am from eight to three o'clock in the middle of the night, the three of them take turns to play with me, it feels like being 'gang raped'. "In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, only a few people dare to joke with actresses like this, and after saying it, listeners will not think crookedly."

Zhang Guorong has a good cooperation with Mui Yanfang, Wang Zuxian and Ye Tong, and has made classic Hong Kong films.

(19) Another ending of "Happy Things at Home", Zhang Guorong wears stockings on his head

It is said that after the sister-in-law played by Wu Junru left the birthday banquet, she did not return to the karaoke hall like the popular version, but met a group of kidnappers who "kidnapped Li Ka-shing on the road", and the three brothers Huang Baiming, Zhang Guorong, and Zhou Xingchi also happened to arrive, so they staged an action scene of driving away bandits and saving their sisters-in-law in a gunfight. For this inexplicably abrupt scene, Zhang Guorong and others also inexplicably picked up the gun and put on the stockings - the purpose of these stockings is not only funny, of course, it is to make it easier for the stand-in to work. After saving people, Wu Junru and Huang Baiming reconciled as before, and the family was reunited.

(20) "Fate" Zhang Guorong lent out his residence and Maggie Cheung to shoot a bed scene

Most male stars have filmed bed scenes, but borrowing their own beds to come out to shoot bed scenes for themselves is less. At that time, Shaw's film production was close to completion, resulting in insufficient funds for "Fate", and there was no choice, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang borrowed their own residences to shoot for Huang Tailai. The bed scene between Cheung Kwok-wing and Maggie Cheung was filmed at Cheung Kwok-wing's former residence in Taikoo City.

If you are interested, you can take the DVD out to see what kind of house his brother Zhang Guorong lived in at that time.

(21) The metaphor of "The Ghost of a Woman" - the interlude is written about a prostitute

Ye Qianwen's "Dawn Don't Come" is certainly not the "dawn" of the four heavenly kings, but Huang Xia does not say it, and it is estimated that few people can guess it. In other words, this song was originally a song written by Huang Xia to "Mr. Noble Surname", saying that the call girl will receive guests as soon as she arrives at night, so she is very afraid of the night, but once met a young videographer, she was not afraid of the night for the first time, but hoped that the dawn would not come... That song says this. The song has not been released, Xu Ke rushed to ask for the ending song, and Huang Xia took this one out.

(22) What is the opium in "Rouge Buckle" made of?

Zhang Yimou filmed "The Golden Armor in the City", in which Gong Li drank the potion is a prop made of Coca-Cola; when Zhang Che filmed a martial arts film, he broke his arm and pierced the intestine, and the blood sprayed into a mess, and the blood was actually made of syrup, loaded with ***, and the martial artist squeezed through after being stabbed. It is said that those plasma flavors are still doing well.

Opium in movies can't always be used as real. Opium like the Rouge Buckle is made with maltose and chocolate. In the film, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang decided to be martyred, so Mei Yanfang fed Zhang Guorong opium. Zhang Guorong laughed and said that although he had to dress miserable on the screen, in fact, "the taste of those opium was too good", which made it very difficult for him to do when filming.

(23) The story of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" is based on Wishing and Lin Yilian?

In 1987, Lam began to cooperate with Hong Kong music talent Wish, serving as an image consultant and choreographer. Later, the two once fell in love, and under the planning and supervision of Wish, Lin Yilian successfully established her mature and intellectual image as a female spokesperson for Hong Kong urban fashion.

The story of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" is exactly what Xu Yuan himself provided, Chen Kexin and Ruan Shisheng re-wrote the script, the story is more dramatic, but the main line is indeed the story of the supervising producer to create a new actress. In addition, Xu Yuan himself also played a role in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and he played the training and teaching teacher of Yuan Yongyi. The theme song of this film, "This Life and This World", is also his work, and Zhang Guorong sings very movingly.

Zhang Guorong's relatives and friends know that Zhang himself likes the styling in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and when he died, the posthumous photos used stills from "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves". UFO head Zhong Zhen once framed the photo to him, so that his brother was very happy, "Gold" film director Chen Kexin revealed that because the "Gold" film copyright has been sold to the American Warner company, so the use of this still as a posthumous photo, need to be agreed by Warner, and later successfully resolved.

(24), Guan Zhilin considered the image did not participate in "Meteor Language"

At the beginning of "Meteor Language", Zhang Zhiliang wanted to cooperate with Mei Yanfang, but at that time, Mei Yanfang had already taken over another play and had to give up (two years later, Zhang Zhiliang got his long-cherished wish, and the two cooperated in "Panic Holiday"), and later thought of Guan Zhilin.

Therefore, Zhang Guorong personally called her, told her that the play was very good, and asked her to perform it together. Guan Zhilin had also heard about the concept of "Creative Alliance" (see the origin of the title of "Revealed" "Meteor Language"), so she agreed to perform. Later, I learned that I was playing the role of a mother, and I wanted to abandon my flesh and blood, considering my own image problem, and I was worried that I couldn't play that inner feeling, so I finally quit the role. In the end, her brother Zhang Guorong recommended Ren Dahua's wife Qi Qi, who had never filmed a play, and she took over the play with the encouragement of Ren Dahua.

(25) Who is Liang Jiahui singing on behalf of "East becomes West"?

"East becomes West" is regarded as a comedy classic in Hong Kong films, and the singing and dancing clips of Cheung Kwok Wing and Leung Ka Fai in the film are one of the most played videos on the Internet. If you are watching the Cantonese version, if you pay a little attention, you will find that Leung Ka Fai's singing voice is not himself, but it is very familiar, who is it? In fact, it is the Hong Kong talent Huang Xia of the ghost horse. It is up to him to sing behind the scenes, and the "laugh" fruit is first-class. Several of the songs in "East into West" are lyrics written by Huang Xia, and it is logical to ask him to sing on his behalf. It is worth saying that the song "Do The Right Acacia Yan" is Zhang Guorong's help to fill in the words, which is very funny.

(26), Mei Yanfang once made a cameo appearance in "The Legend of Ah Fei"

As early as 90 years of filming "Ah Fei Zheng Biography", the budget was tight in the later stage, when Wong Kar-wai wanted to rent a plane to shoot the train chase, he had no money, Zhang Guorong said to him: You want to shoot, I will pay. As a result, the rented plane was too windy but did not shoot. It's just that Wong Kar-wai didn't ask him for money.

Later, when filming the drama, he and Wong Kar-wai both felt that there was a role that was very suitable for Mui Yanfang, so they invited their friends to come out to make a cameo for a day. To know that Mei Yanfang is not easy to guest in the movie, it is entirely based on Zhang Guorong's face to agree to it - this move is zhang Guorong is considering helping investor Cai Songlin sell the port.

(27), Mei Yanfang also made a cameo appearance in "East Evil West Poison"

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

Later, we learned that Wong Kar-wai deleted Wang Zuxian's scene to only half of his face in "East Evil and West Poison" (some special versions appeared for a few seconds), and Mui Yanfang actually did not appear on the screen. Including the version that was re-restored in 2008, there is no trace.

(29) The name and story source of "King of Guns"

Before the filming of "The King of Guns", Zhang Minguang was teaching Zhang Guorong the basic knowledge of guns

Zhang Guorong's 30 little-known movie secrets

The movie "Gun King" is Zhang Guorong and Er Dongsheng after "Pornographic Men and Women" once again, when Er Dongsheng found Zhang Guorong, saying that the two roles of Zhang Guorong in this play are suitable, let him choose one, Zhang Guorong played too many good people and wanted to challenge his acting skills, so he said to Er Dongsheng: "Don't think about it, you must choose a pervert to play." The film began with only the English name, "Double Tap", which comes from the shooting term, which means that in a shooting competition, two shots are fired in a row, and at the same time, an "8" is formed no more than 1 inch, which is called "Double Tap". Because if you can hit the Double Tap, the lethality will be greatly increased, which is why agents such as the FBI shoot people twice at a time.

The story of "King of Guns" comes from the film's technical director Zhang Minguang, a two-time shooting champion in Hong Kong. His experience is: "When you have been shooting for so many years, you will start to feel that the paper target has lost its novelty, and you will wonder, will I shoot when I face a real person?" ...... For example, if you encounter a police barge on the highway, but you can't hit the thief, will you help?
