about a new kung fu film company

[about a new kung fu film company]

Hello there im now thinking to build a kung fu movie company in Hong kong but a lot of things are missing. So if anyone is interested for being an actor in my company then please tell it me from here and you must be sure that i will answer you.

[Shanghaikid]

What kind of actor are you looking for?

[ThunderFoot77]

would you be interested in some story lines? I have been working on some screenwrite/stories the last year of so? have a couple I think would be pretty good.

How much noise are you really looking to make in the industry, and how much financial backing do you have so far, or will have??
but if you need some well thaught out story lines email me at EJames_3@yahoo.com

[Shanghaikid]

cool, thunderfoot, you written scripts? How many have ya written?

[.]

I can be your stuntman. How much can you pay?

[mike leeder]

Sounds interesting, I'm based in HK....if you're serious let me know, I can hook you up wiht stuntmen, crew etc

[ThunderFoot77]

as of right now most of my stories are just stories. I have to put them into "lines, and scene sets". I have been thinking of trying to pitch my stories to some of these middle line film companies, but just havn't gotten to it. Living in Maine does not help either.

[spideyj]

I have a degree in English language and media studies, so if you need an english speaker for your preomotional material (you will need good written english to be taken seriously), give me a mail at 'fckbeans@hotmail.com'.

Seriously, consider it...

[New company]

I would like to thank all you guys for your interesting about my company.Now for those who are really want to take place they must

Write your name in this board with your age your country and your sex

My or our company i should say wants

Electicians
Lighters
Actors
Stuntmen
Script writers
Directors
Fight Choreographers (It is not necesserily)

We need 13 males for the lead actors and at least 3 females

And something that everyone must know is that we will going to shoot only classic kung fu movies and no modern day action

About the money now we were going to discuss all together.

[ThunderFoot77]

have stories already in process.

[New Company]

I also have treatment ideas for screenplays that would feature themes not presently viewed. Kalexiou, may I contact you about the above?

[Shooting Sync Sound]

Kalexiou,

As a die-hard fan of classic Kung Fu Cinema, I find it hard to have to accept what I'm about to say here, but, here goes...

Perhaps, as a suggestion, you may want to shoot your features in Sync Sound. While part of the beauty of Kung Fu film are the various ingeniously devised sound FX, it would be even more wonderful, in adding to the technical wonder of this type of cinema, if directors begin shooting classic, period piece works in Sync Sound. This would add to the realism of the cinema, the overall quality of the production, and invite a whole new audience into the fold...!

But, as always, I welcome comments from other participants herein.

Thanks All

[New Company Contact Transaction]

Mr. Kalexiou,

I am a 39 year old African-American, interested in creating an African martial arts cinema, period piece genre, utilizing my cultures practices, etc.

[mike leeder]

As I said earleir, I'm based in HK, and would love to help out or be involved, are you in Hong Kong yourself? Do you have a distributor, a budget what?

[About all]

I think that you have done me very good impression. Now about your questions:

1. We need an afro american as one guy send me but he would not take the good lead role. He will be the bad guy always if he wants. You know we want some non chinese since iam not a

2.I need first to see your stories before i will hire you
mr danmye2002 and mr Thunderfoor77. You can post them throw this board. My e-mail caught virus and so....

3.Peter Han i need to see a photo from you. If you want post it here or send it to my to my address. I need more info about you. ok?

4. Mike Leeder
First congratulations about your sammo Hung website.
I live in Greece. I have a budget and what do you mean about the distributor?

We also need kickers

[My script!]

Ahh a fellow Greek lol.
Im from Montreal, Canada, currently writing a kung fu script in my spare time, I'm about 70 pages in, harder than I thought to describe a fight scene, dammit! Any collaborators out there? Would like help!
Peter Kyriakopoulos! Peace!

[a fellowgreekmalso]

im also greek ..and captain caveman im in montreal also..(p-x)...

[Script/Personal Profile]

Kalexiou,

Personally, I'm on the journey to indie martial arts cinema with an eye towards creating a culturally specific genre from my own African pool of source material. My endeavors, therefore, are aspirations for more behind, than in front of, the camera productivity.

That said, all though I am fully engrossed in African martial arts studies, and, previously have a beginners experience in Hok Shan Wing Chun, Sun style Tai Chi Chuan, Sun Lu Tung style Ba Gua, a form of Hsing I and, perhaps more so, Seven Star Preying Mantis as taught by the late Lo Mon Biu of Boston, Mass., my former teacher (in these systems and Angola style Capoiera-an African-Brazilian art form) is more qualified to appear in the manner that you've requested (as an antagonist). I'll inquire about that if you're still interested.

As to posting my ideas, treatments here, for obvious reasons you may appreciate my reluctance in that regard.

Please let me know of another avenue in which we can successfully begin this transaction...

Thank you for your time and patience.

Sincerely,

danmy2002

[Script Collaboration]

Captain,

What kind of Kung Fu genre are you attacking-a period piece, my interest, or a modern, new wave piece...?

Perhaps, regarding the fight scenes, you may want to simply set the environment (briefly noting the styles of combat and general scene set-up. For the most part, as you probably know, most Hong Kong Action Directors will choreograph their stuff on the spot).

Pleas let me know what you think on this...

[Old School!]

Danmye2002, My script is a period piece with a definate old school flavor and extremely dark and bleak as well. The problem I have in describing the fights is that I have the scene and moves in my head put putting this scene into proper words is a problem. Maybe I will just go the Shakespeare route and simply put "they fight" lol. If you want Ill email what I have so far. Peace!

[Shakespere! LOL!]

"The Fight"
that's exactly how we did it when I was contracted to write a script a few years back. The stage direction said something to the effect of "Quarterstaff Fight - lead male vs 6" and the choreographer and director took over from there.

[Screenplay]

kalexiou,
I am a published poet and interested in your request for writers. Would you be interested in an adaption of the Chinese classic Outlaws of the Marsh? This novel would serve as a great premises on which to base a classic, artistic Kung Fu film.

[Hi to all]

My friends

First i would like to excuse me about not answering your questions often.You see i have many things in my mind and also many jobs.You know about the company its actors directors etc

I have noticed that most of you are writers than actors or anything else. This is good because when the company will start running we will need many writers because we are about to shoot at least 10 movies a year for each actor.I know that it sounds crazy but believe me fanatical fans of the old kung fu cinema will not have any problem with this.Thats why i came here.Because i know that here i will find many.

Now
Mr danmye2002

Our company will shoot only kung fu movies.
But maybe for you i will do an exception.I thought it
better and i see that it would be nice if our studios will have a new Jim Kelly. So first i want to see your skills,
I mean how good you are in martial arts.You just send me demos if you want. Oh and also i want from you to tell me more info about yourself.End if you will be one of our lead actors you will play karate with a little bit of capoeira.

I said before and i would say it and now
Those people who are interesting in writing they must first write on of their scenarios here.

This is a very good place to contact with all of you but it is defenetly not the best.So call me in my house

The number is
30109626419

Remember that you will call in Greece.
We also need and some chinese people in the studios.
But you all have to be flexible strong and acrobater.
Well the acrobater is not very necesserily but you have to know about martial arts and also you have to be in good physical condition.

Now many of you you are certainly curious about who am i.So i will give some informations

1.My real name is not kalexiou but Anthony. Kalexiou is only my nickname for the internet.

2.I live in Greece,Athens and more specifically in Argyroupoli.

3.All those things i tell you about the company are not lies. But because this is the beggining i will need help for many people.

4.All the actors- directors- fight directors-producers etc will discuss about their payment with me throw the telephone or maybe and personally.But never from here or anywhere else throw the internet (chatrooms etc).

5.When the studios will start to run i can and will be:
a) Lead actor
b) Supporting actor
c) Fight choreographer
d) Director
e) Producer

And end i will give to the screen writers my ideas about how the film will be and they will make it scenario.

We also need as a say before at least 3 females. Is any female here who is interested about the company?
Now except from the telephone we can also connect throw mirc.At the section were can discuss only the kung fu movie fans.I think its on the channel

#shaolin_temple

We only have to find a day so we can all be there and discuss in real time. i think that a good day is on Monday.
What do you say?

Oh and also i forgot to say that all the actors of the company will have the oppurtunity to play with big names of the genre in a movie. Like

David chiang
Ti lung
Sammo Hung
Angela mao
Hwang jang Lee
Yuen Biao
Yuen Wah
Bolo Yeung
Dick Wei
Carter Wong
Johnny Chan
Kuo Chi
Yasuaki Kurata
Dorian Tan
Yuen shun I
Wilson Tong

And if we are lucky perhaps Jackie Chan or Jet Li will accept to have a cameo. Thats it for now.

Good Bye to all.

[Script]

Anthony,
here is a scenario:
A man named Lu, martial arts master, kills an important figure with his bare hands in the name of justice. Knowing he will be beheaded if caught he takes refuge in a Buddhist temple. However, he gets drunk and assaults the monks in a martial arts battle. The abbot sends him to another temple where he is put in charge of a vegetable garden. Bandits who thieve from it on a regular basis are beaten when they attempt on him. Lu then joins with them and, known as Sagacious Lu the Tatooed Monk, battles against a heartless emperor.

[very interested]

D.Brooks

writer/script/screenplay

have access to choreographer and stuntmen[friend runs a gym.we had been kicking around some ideas just hard to get funded.

i have 5 working screenplays right now[actually six.i have written a remake for 5 deadly venoms im trying to approach Celestial about] all fighting based on none wire action scenes. have filmed a few and they look very good.weve come up with our own style so as to pay respect but not steal H.K. style of film fu.we use real martial arts with a few grab techniques as well as boxing,amatuer wrestling, streetfighting,gymnastics, and various moves we call "cheat" moves.it comes across as being very effective and realistic.most of our fighters are real fighters anyway[toughman,pride...etc.] so we worked very close with these proffesionals to come up with a fresh and unique fighting style[though still very much in the style of old school kung fu flicks].camera angles are written with the scenes.meaning we understand how to film action.though this is not the primary postion i am seeking, it will be easy for a director to shoot my scenes because all the work has been done.

what type of backing do you have?film budget?cameras?

we are based in America.Kentucky to be exact.[this is probably why funding is hard for us to get]

my stories arent youre typical "you killed my master" type of tales.i write anyway.not just martial arts films.i like to use philosophical and metaphorical tones in my stories.stories that may not neccesarily be about kung fu arts but the art of living your life right ,just in a kung fu setting.i want to make movies that even if youve never seen a kung fu movie, youll watch and be totally engrossed and go tell your friends.

if interested please email at
madsciencefist@yahoo.com

i can not give out copies of screenplays or the fight scenes weve created.if you or anybody on this page is serious then we can privately talk about screenplays and fight scenes that should hopefully lead to the sharing of ideas.please email only if serious.

[Chris Jones]

Hi my name is Chris jones, im 22 from the UK. For the past two years I have been working on UK low budget films, alongside teaching Martial Arts fulltime. To date I have worked on four features, the latest being 'Insiders' be Phoenix-i Productions. Alongside film and tv work I have performed many live shows, the biggest of which was at the 2001 "Royal variety performance" performed live for UK TV, With UK royalties including the Queen in the audience. I have a website at www.chrisjones.8k.com if anyone would like to view my demo/showreel video, and a section dedicated to shorts that I film between work (Other Videos Section).

[Oh yes]

Your scenario is very good. But i want more.
I forgot to say that our company does not allow remakes like the venoms movies or anything else.we will going to do our own movies.

[Scenario]

kalexiou,
the scenario I gave was just of the main points. I would like to know if you are interested in making a film out of it. Also, I can come up with more that are just as good, if you are interested.

[My scenario!]

The premise for my script is rather straightforward with a few unexpected twists.
The setup is a common one, a young student kills a drunken challenger by accident. The challenger who is killed is the son of a prminent martial arts master as is the young student who kills him. The student who gets injured during the fight is taken in by an old man and his daughter. Basically in order to NOT be suspected the father of the dead challenger hires two assassins to kill the boy, one assassin is a Japanese man(with assistant), the other is a Priest(who takes jobs through confession hehe)Both assassins are bitter rivals though. There is also the brother of the dead hallenger who has sworn to kill the young student. There is also three police women in charge of taking in the young student for the murder and there is finally a man sent by the young students father in order to protect him. problem is nobody knows where the young student is, and the old man has him(but is there more to this old man than meet the eye?) Lets just say its a free for all to get the young student, and of all the characters mentioned only one survives, and yes the young student gets found and killed. Sorry for the confusion, I guess its better to just read my script, which is unfinished lol. Peace!

[Test]

Ok i see that the scriptwriters here done a good job.So now i must give a test. I will write to you one of my ideas and you have to make it scenario.

I called it Mantis Master

A young police officer goes to a rich house trying to investigate a mysterious murder that have been done by one of the family members.

Remember that it must be a classic kung fu movie.

The best wins.

[Old School Is My Thing]

Yes, Sir,

Please send it!

[Mantis Master]

Inspector Hong, Kung Fu expert, arrives at the house where a wealthy family live, and is scene of a brutal murder. The victim died after a violent spasm, and was son of the powerful father. This crime baffled authorities, however, Hong is determined to solve it. Hong discovers that the victim's brother, a doctor of Chinese medicine, is adept in Kung Fu after witnessing him fight off a group of thieves at the market. A suspicious Hong then finds poisonous herbs and a chart of deadly pressure points in the doctor's possession. Discovering that the pressure points formed a lethal style of Kung Fu, Hong realizes the victim was killed by his brother for revealing it. However, the father and son(doctor) are on to him and will stop at nothing to silence him. This forces Hong to engage in the most explosive Kung Fu battle of his career.
Well kalexiou, what do you think?

[Guys]

Da Mo you have just hired

What do you want to send danmye?

[Writers]

Thank you kalexiou for hiring me. I am glad you have taken interest in my ideas. The scenarios (Mantis Master and The Tatooed Monk) could work out to be great Kung Fu movies. Once again, thank you.

[Writers]

A gifted descendant of a famous martial arts, and escort service, family is found dead in the family estate. An autopsy reveals no clues about his death. Inspector Wong, an Eagle Claw exponent, rules the death as a result of injury to the victim's internal organs. It was also determined that the victim died hours after the initial trauma, but in a manner somewhat different than that as would occur from a Kung Fu derived fatality. Examining the victim's personal belongings, he discovers letters, addressed to an elder family member, from prominent members of the British East India Company. A few other texts are written in Malayalam and English. Covertly confiscating them, he begins questioning the house members, their friends, associates and servant. One servant, an Indian, and a family friend, a British Police Department official, take a liking to wong and unofficially assist him in his investigation.

With the help of his new comrades, the secrets of the British East India documents are revealed. Prominent Chinese, Indian and European bureaucrats, including the victim's and families are implicated as key participants in the smuggling of Opium throughout Asia. One letter in particular reveals the location of a secret family vault containing millions of dollars in currency from the Opium trade. Wong knows that this, plus the list of names, could lead to an international crisis. Going for help in seizing the illicit money, Wong is suddenly attacked by his two friends. It is revealed that they represent the Indian and British interests in the cartel's operation. Using Indian Kalaripayattu and French Savate, Wong battles both adversaries to death. Killing the British Killer, he managers to escape with near fatal niternal injuries from the Indian's Marma Adi pressure point attacks.

With the help of one of the victim's expert elder family members, Wong battles the Indian and Chinese cartal coalition to a heart stopping finale...

[ThunderFoot77]

I think I have a darn good story and I'll be emailing you the info. Rather not blert it out here, pretty original, and deep in a way. Been thinkin on this story for about 2 years now. hope you like it.

[ThunderFoot77]

Do you have Email available?? or what other way should I get it to you?

[Hey]

At last danmye what do you want?
You want to be an actor in my company or a screenwriter. Please decide.

Da Mo i need your telephone number to discuss.
Thunderfoot my e-mail caught virus. Please send your ideas here.

[ThunderFoot77]

[Writer]

Thank You Kalexiou,

I'd be better suited as a screenwriter for your company.

Thank You,

danmye2002

[Danmye]

Please danmye think it better. We need an afro american for be a new Jim Kelly

[ThunderFoot77]

did you read it at all? what did you think? curious

[Company Position]

Mr. Kalexiou,

First, however it goes, thank you for your interest.

Let me say that my martial arts experience is not as advanced as someone like Jackie Chan, etc. I only have about a beginner's background in the Kung Fu systems I briefly studied. My hand techniques being far better than my kicking methods. Also, I don't look anything like Jim Kelly-just an average looking African American (who also happens to be 39 years old). I am in relatively good shape. I probably could get the Kung Fu rhythm down, but, again, Yuen Biao I am not (LOL).

I am also attempting to put together my own African martial arts cinema, so writing may be better. You tell me what you think is better. As I said, locating a Jim Kelly type for you would be easy-even if it's not me.

Thanks Again,

Danmye2002

[Ok]

Maybe you are right danmye.I think it better but....

Thunderfoot by reading only your script is not a big deal
I have to contact you personally by phone or by chatrooms or anything. And not only you but all of you

[Contact]

kalexiou,
would it be possible for you to email your address to me?
If not what chatroom do you have in mind? Could we discuss here?

[Contact]

Mr. Kalexiou,

Please let me know how and when to contact you...

[ThunderFoot77]

I didn't think it was a big deal either you reading the short synopsis, I was just curious as to whether or not you read it or skimmed, and also what you felt it was up to your standards, or ideas of what type of movies/stories you want to put out?
I know it takes more then a story line, but I had to share something.

[Well]

I think that by telephone will be better.
Ok danmye you have to give me your phone as Da Mo and eveybody interested.
I gave mine.

[Phone Number]

Mr. Kalexiou,

My phone # is (856)-338-9341 (U.S.). I can be reached before 11am, or after 12mn., Mon.-Fri., and /or all day (for right now) Sat. and Sun. If I am not there, if my family is home, you can leave a message with my wife or one of my three daughters.

Thank you, again, for considering our connection.

Sincerely,

danmye2002

[Danmye]

You forgot to tell me your real name danmye

[Real Name]

Kalexiou,

My real name is Kenneth House

[Time Frame]

BTW, I'll be away from the house on Sat., 11/9/03.

Thanks,

Ken

[Time Frame]

Oops, I met Sat., 11/9/02.

[sorry kenneth]

But i had many jobs.
I will call you at this week absolutely

[I'm also interested]

Hello kalexiou,

My name is Eric Jacobus and I've been working on short action movies for almost 2 years now, and I'm very interested in working in Hong Kong. I speak some Cantonese and I'm considering studying abroad there some time soon. Short description

Eric Jacobus
20 / M
San Francisco, CA
5'7 157 lbs

I can work as a stuntman or fighter, possibly help with choreography. If you wish to see what we've done in the past, you can download all our movies from our page at

www.neo-modus.com/stuntpeople/films/films.php
or our main page is
www.neo-modus.com/stuntpeople/

Thanks kalexiou!

Eric

[Well]

Eric your words sounds very intersted to me.It is not necessarily to work only as a stuntman in the company.You can also be supporting or leading actor.

but.......

You and everybody who is interesyed to be an actor
Do you have the patience?
It will be very difficult for all.Including and me
Now im gonna tell you something but please do not take it down.You see im just 17 years old and it will be very difficult for me to run a whole company.Please understand me. I can be all the above i said before (actor etc) but i have to work very hard.Please think it over and then answer me.Bye for now.

[oh...]

You're 17? Ok I guess that changes things quite a bit. How ambitious are you in this? And maybe I shoulda brought this up before, but investing in a company that ONLY makes kung fu movies is risky. I dunno, I think I need a little more information now.

Eric

[hey]

You have to understand me.

Da Mo are you still want to work to me?
Danmye you?

If yes then i need a little more info about yourself.

Thank you

It doesnt matter how old is someone is

[re]

Yes it does. I could see myself opening a studio when I was 17 and just targeting the kung fu crowd. The truth is that you CANNOT make a big investment in that, let alone assume people will follow you in doing it. People know that someone under the age of 20 starting a company is risky. So, I leave the showing up to you.

[well]

There is no matter the old
Important is the brain
Dont you think
Now if you dont want to join then dont come.
But you shoul have thinking it better.
Because some day i assure you that you are wrong.

[cesped]

kalexiou are you based in hong kong?

[????]

What do you mean if im based in Hong Kong?If i live? No.

[mike leeder]

Kalexiou,
No disrespect is intended I'm sure form anyone on the board...
But your statement that you were going to form a Kung Fu company did spark a lot of interest,
And people would like further information..
I enquired as to you having a budget, and you answered you do but what asked what I mean about distribution...
And now the question of your age has been raised..
Its great you're 17 and you knwo what you want to do, but people need to know if you have a budget and what range, do you have a director or choreographer lined up...
Where do you intend to film?
Do you have any pre-sale, any distribution lined up?
I live in Hong Kong, and while I'd love to see a new kung fu movie company being formed and if I could help i would love to, but thats a hard market to crack..are you aiming your movies at the local market or the international market....
What time period are you setting your films in, do you intend to shoot on 16mm, 35mm or Digi beta
Where do you plan to shoot? Hong Kong, China? Korea? Depending on budget you and story you might want to head into China or Korea to shoot...
I don't doubt you're capable of what you're aiming for, but I think people would like a bit more info to reassure them....
Cheers
Mike

[GaySerialKiller]

Mike is right. I've worked on a few low budget movies and have seen one of them crash and burn due to poor planning, lack of funding, and a lack of actual talent from the writer/director. To make a movie is a huge commitment. both financially and psychologically, and you have to surround yourself with people who know what they are doing. You also have to PAY the people who work on the film. If you defer payment, that only leads to people flaking out on the project. Trust me, I've seen this happen numerous times. If you're shooting an action film you need to take out insurance on the actors. If you don't do this then you can be held accountable for any injurys. Mike makes great points about budget and distribution, you should listen to him. In my opinion I think you might be too young to take on such a huge task. My advice is to try to get some work on actual films and watch everything that goes on at the set. You will learn so much if you do this and it will prepare you for your own production. Just some advice for you.

[Thank You]

It seems that only you two understand me.All the others have just left.Mike first of all it is a great honour to me that someone like you want to help me in my project.i really adnmire you and would be great if you help me in this.You see im not planning to shoot very big budgets.We will starty from low and then will see.After all future is us.It is true that i have a budget but i think that it will be better to discuss personnaly by phone.If you think that this is a good idea then call

Add the phone code+9626419

I would be there any time you want.

Thank you too GayKiller or whatever.Your advises are very usefull to me and will help me to make my dream true.

(Mike you said if i have directors etc
I myself im a fight choreographer and actor as well as director.Thank you and ill be wait.)

[mike leeder]

Kalexiou,
E-mail me c/o www.for-the-cause.com
Tell me what times a good tiem to call you..
I'm pretty busy this week, and off to korea for a few days from Sunday

[But....]

My e-mail caught virus and i can contact you from this.So i tell you that a good time to call me is..........

Ok the best time to call me is on saturdays every time you want.bye for now.

[Film Co.]

Greetings All,

I had trouble accessing the forum-via some connection gliche, etc.-so sorry for being MIA (LOL).

Anyway, I've come back to view some interesting posts concerning starting a film company. The advice has been quite sound. Kalexiou, I am still interested in your tentative projects, but, please, keep in mind the issues raised herein. We would like nothing better to to assist a company, of this genre of film, materialize its cinematic aspirations. However, requesting more information is a sincere gesture of respect for the applicants and your company. Let us view these inquiries in the spirit of maturity in which they have been issued.

As I've said previously, I, too, have aspirations of starting a film company, one that will focus upon the martial arts of my culture. But, I realize that a proper (hands on) study of the filmmaking process is a must. Here's to beginning something wonderful. Let's continue to dialoque on the matter.

Sincerely,

Danmye2002

[Thanks]

Thank you mr.danmye about still interested about my company.Im sorry about not call you in the phone to discuss but my jobs are so many

(You know school, karate, etc)

and i cant.As i told to mr.Mike you can call me in saturdays.My telephone is

as i said the code number to call Greece+9626419

Our company as i said will shoot kung fu films only and thats because if we start to shooting and modern day action films then people will think that we dont know what we want to shoot.Right?

Danmye you know that i will be very happy to talk you to the phone and ill be wait.But you and all the others have to excuse me for my english.

Thats it for now.Bye.

[mike leeder]

It would help if you gave me the city code as well, as just tried your number and it didn't go through..
If you are as serious as you say about thsi company, e-mail me through www.for-the-cause.com
with details of your budget, proposed projects, filming locations etc..
As there are still a lot of points you need to clarify

[The Hung fist]

I see right trough you!

And you other guys, you actually can't think this is serious?

- I can be a stuntman! - I can write scripts! ect...
Give me a break!

/ The Hung fist

[The Hung fist]

If you're serious, why try to pick up people from a forum? It's a joke! How will you know if people are serious?

I can also write that i'll start a Hong Kong based kung fu film company any time! How can anyone actually believe in it? That's another joke!

/ The Hung fist

[Mike]

Mike if you are in USA then you have to put 3010+9626419

i cannot send you an e-mail because it caught virus.
Well the hung fist this is your opinion about me.We cant like to eerybody but this is not a reason to have such a hostility to me.

[Period Piece]

Kalexiou,

The films that I hope to one day direct/produce, etc., will be period pieces exclusively with no wire-fu or New Wave, modern "martial arts/action" choreography. Only traditional martial arts will be utilized.

Peace,

Damnye2002

[Truth Or Dare]

Hung Fist,

I'll reply as follows: While, I'm sure, we all give respect to someone's aspirations, and while we'll give a person due benefit of the doubt, no one here, IMO, is stupid enough to throw caution to the wind. The fact, for example, Mr. Leeder mentions the need for us to have some issues clarified should serve to illustrate this fact. If anyone posting here turns out to be issuing fraudulent claims, it will soon be revealed. Cooler heads, and sound judgement, always prevails.

Peace,

[Pre-Post Production Structure]

Mr. Kalexiou,

Do you have Above-The-Line and Below-The-Line film considerations already mapped out? Do you have Completion Bonds? Are you shooting in 35mm, 16mm, Pro8mm-to-Beta Sp for Final Cut Pro postproduction, or MiniDV, DVCAM, HI-DEF to Final Cut Pro 3 for postproduction. If the latter, will you be transferring DV to 35mm or 16mm, or remain on dv FOR DIGITAL PROJECTION for film festivals. Do you have contracted DPs, grips, gaffers, etc.?

Peace,

[Almost Forgot]

Mr. Kalexiou,

Are you utilizing linear or non-linear editing suites to facilitate rough or finished edits of your proposed projects? Do you have contracted cinematographers? Are you a Producer, Excutive Producer or Director, or are you responsible for casting, set design, etc.? What is your position within your company? I think, for all concerned, we can at least address these general questions here.

Thank you, once more, for your time and patience, and I humbly await your reply.

Peace,

Well i dont think that you are joking, and i wish i could help you realise yur dream more than is in my current power to do.:| Its a brilliant dream and i wish you all the best
Laura

[oj, oj, oj....]

Oh, please, you can't seriously expect to recruit people from a forum?

If you're joking, then I am laughing with you, but if you're serious, you're pathetic!

And that goes for all the people that believe him aswell!

:rollin

[..]

Thanks for your good words Laura but Tiger fist is right even if he made me felt very bad by his words.But he is right.

[.]

My intention was not to make you feel bad or anything!

I know I was rude for calling you and the people who actually believed in you pathetic, but I had a very boring lesson in school and was only half-aware of what I was typing:rolleyes

No hard feelings, okay?;)

[Tiger Fist-Cool Out]

Tiger Fist,

Though I respect your opinions, as I do most others, I consider your last comment extremely out of line. Remember, part of this forum consists of a means for aspiring filmmakers to come together for possible future projects. Show Reels, etc., occur from "unorthodox" sources all the time. There are any number of low/no budget filmmakers recruiting talent via this forum at the time of this post. So, please, it's great to know that you have such concerns, and it's great to know that you've got your own projects going but to castigate individuals for given someone, initially, the benefit of the doubt is a bit much. No one, or institution, has a monopoly on the filmmaking process. Indeed, the genre for which this site was constructed falls out of the "mainstream" of Hollywood's film production process. So, let's cool out little, shall we.

[danmye2002]

Did you even read my last comment??

It doesn't seem that way!
Read everything before you speak, okay?|I

[..]

Okay i understand.thanks tigerfist.But if you want to learn why i look actors or anything from here is that i want to give a chance to people whose dream is someday to take part in his/her favourite type of movie.Thats all.I just wantet to be nice to all.If you dont like my idea thats ok.Im not angry with you or anyone else here.Thank you because you shared your opinion about me with me.

[Re: Read Before You Speak]

Tiger Crane Fist,

Perhaps you should think before you right, okay?|I

Now let's get back to Kung Fu film production issues, shall we?;)

[Shanghaikid]

hi Kalexiou, why not start a webpage? I don't know if that would help you at all but its a thought.

[Website?]

Starting a wbsite is not a bad idea but first the company must have some films under its belt.Thanks anyway for your idea.It was good.

[re]

whuts wrong for looking for people interested in making kung fu films on a kung fu forum.to me its logical...you never know who youre talking to ,i could be Sam[uel l. Jackson ,you never know.good luck kalexiou.

[Thanks]

Thanks pal.Well i dont think if it is logical but......thank you.I always accept with pleasure your words.Once again thank you.

[Shanghaikid]

You could start one anyways and do like an ad to look for people to direct, star, etc. You can try to create a forum on that page and people can respond to it.

[...]

Oh dear, oh dear:rolleyes

[re]

actually your right its not logical...just tyring to help you out.good luck anyway:)

[..]

My reason to look people from a forum is because i want to give a chance to new talents.Thats why.

[Follow Your Vision]

Kalexiou,

Stick to seeing your vision through. Please understand that there is no hard and fast rule, other than that to which you set for yourself, regarding realizing your filmmaking vision. Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. Likewise, tackle this venture wisely and with the skill necessary top make it happen. It is also wise to respect a healthy sense of caution on the part of those potentially interested in this process (and your endeavors).

This is a Kung Fu film forum. As such, you are using it in a manner consistent with the reasons for which it was designed.

Learn as much as you can about the technical and business aspects of this craft, and, then, make as many beautiful films as your vision, and talent, will allow.

Stay determined,

danmye2002

[just say the word]

My services are avaliable for any role, I have been studying martial arts for many years and have made several t.v. appearances. this one sounds like great fun.

[Yi Long]

I'm also available although i still live here in Holland.
I'm extremely well talented in kicking with both legs, can do the splits (both legs and both sideways and front-back) plus I can do leg holding (best with right leg) higher dan 6 ft.
I'm fast and have good rythm.
I also have a good height and build for martial arts action; 6ft tall and slim muscular build with strong long legs. (no gay responses please; I'm taken for! ;) )

I practiced both Taekwondo as well as Wushu and I'm a quick learner.
Ofcourse, I'm also devilishly handsome, have blue eyes, grey blonde hair and speak english very well.

I'll probably be in Hong Kong again next summer and if my girlfriends done with here study by then, it might be a perminent stay.

Last year I was also in Hong Kong (Tien Shui Wai, Loc Wood station) and I love it over there, although I was the only gwaai lo in Tien Shui Wai I believe...Luckily...in Yuen Long there were a couple more roaming the streets and in Kow Loon I didn't even stand out anymore ;)

[hello]

How is going with this Project?? U guys believe what he says?

Listen, i dont believe all this @#%$.. since kalexio has something to do with #shaolin-temple.

[Xing Yi]

[George Huish]

Hi,
I too am looking to get into proper film making, stunts ect, but i feel you would be better off i you looked more locally for actors ect, then made a name on the internet so people can see how good your directing, fighting skills ect are.

thanks.

You're already drumming up enthusiasm for your proposed project in this forum, keep up the momentum and you will find supporters 'on the inside'. You'll get alot of knockbacks in this business but stick to your goals and eventually things will materialise. I've been working as an editor in the 'wonderfull'?! world of advertising cutting tv and cinema spots for Europe for last five years, there's a few sharks out there but most people are generous with their time and skills when they feel properly included and respected. I've just started directing commercials and I've seen the 'behind the scene' mechanics at work and it really isn't as daunting to break into as most people expect. ps I have experience in features aswell... much the same politics despite their denials. good luck mate.

[limeyninja]

Hello all, I am new here, but I thought I would answer my two cents. Now, hey, I wish all the look to you in your company. Lord knows we it. But, you also have to understand that age does play a factor in this, mostly because of experience, or lack there of it. What experience in film do you have? Also, by not giving any information about your company, you are doing more harm than good. Why can't you give anymore information than "yes, we have a budget". You don't talk about what format, distribution, equipment, anything. People here are willing to put their faith in you, but you also have to be willing to put your faith in them, and the only way to do this is to give them something, besides saying, call me.

[stuntpeople]

Really I'm surprised anyone's going for this. If you had something to show for yourself then you'd be making movies already. It's a waste of time. I swear, people are all talk and no action these days.

[GreyShade]

Not quite true.

Even in Medieval China and Japan few got by on Martial Arts and their fighting skills alone. Nowadays it is hard to commit yourself to pursuing such a career unless you are sure to get something from it. There is nothing wrong with having another occupation.

By saying that they would ALREADY be doing something if they had anything, that is not quite true. In Show Business it is ALL about who ya know. I mean, that is a job EVERYBODY wants.

If what you say is true, then Donnie Yen should be a bigger Celeb around the world than Jean Claude Van Damme. Hell, he should CERTAINLY be bigger than Steven Segal.

[Simon Wyndham]

My first post here and it's negative! Why are people falling for this? You really believe this guy is going to get you working with Samo Hung, Hwang Jang-lee etc?

kalexiou, you aint the guy who made Cops Fade are you? I hope not cos this company sounds like the biggest troll on the planet!

[Nukkieboy]

Yes first of all let me tell you bout my favourite actor Siu Tien Yuen - rest in peace , (he's Jackie's drunken master) if there's anything I want to learn bout kung fu he's the one to teach me...
I'm allways watching his films and now am seeking to obtain all the films he ever played in...
if there's any part I might be able to play in any of yer movies I would like the role of a drunken beggar if there is one off course but then again I can play all parts if I have too.
It would be great to be in a kung fu movie even as a fruit vendor anyay contax me @:

nuttycee@hotmail.com

[HungKuen]

I know this is a really old topic, and the above post i really old aswell, but I find it amusing that this guy doesn't even know the name of his favourite actor. "Siu Tien Yuen" should be Yuen Siu-Tien :p
