"It's okay, Brother Luo, I will tell you what I need when the time comes, I do want to take a few roles, and my own company will also participate in the investment, I will definitely do it well, don't worry." Chen Mubai said.

"Okay, I'm sure I believe you, everything will come according to your requirements, I'll go and tell them the good news!" Luo Fan said with a smile.

Chen Mubai agreed to shoot a Xiangjiang-style movie, but he didn't expect it to be completed so quickly, and his heart was also very excited.

As a person who has struggled in Xiangjiang for decades, from scratch to the point where he is now, he doesn't want to watch Xiangjiang's movies sink like this, he also hopes that Xiangjiang's movies can rise again!

In Luo Fan's view, Chen Mubai asked his company to invest, just to reassure them and reassure them that he would never shoot blindly, and he must come up with sincere works, otherwise why bother his company to invest?

Luo Fan is really grateful to Chen Mubai this time.

This is no longer about money, but Chen Mubai is really kind and a person worthy of deep friendship.

Even if it was such an embarrassing request, he agreed, and he was a reliable person.

"Then I'll write a script and show it to you. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

"You're welcome, Brother Luo, you've helped me a lot. ”

"I'm more and more glad that I got you strong early, but fortunately I didn't rely on the old and sell the old at the beginning, otherwise I might have missed you. Luo Fan said jokingly.

"It's my honor to be able to partner with you, thank you Brother Luo for not disliking me for being just a little star at the time......"

Luo Fan said: "You are praising me with this, I don't dare to take it, with your ability, it is only a matter of time before you become famous, there are not many geniuses like you, and there are still many laypeople like me." ”

"I also said that Brother Luo has a good eye for people, and without your help, I wouldn't have reached my current achievements so quickly. Chen Mubai thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

This is true, if Luo Fan hadn't given him the idea and found a relationship to quickly send his work to the Venice Film Festival and passed the nomination, I am afraid that "Buried Alive" would definitely not get such a high box office, and it may not even be able to win the award.

"Buried Alive" can win the award that year, it does not mean that it can still win the award in the second year, sometimes it is not only about strength, but also about luck.

It's like "The Shawshank Redemption", which was named the world's most classic movie in his previous life, met "Forrest Gump", which was defeated at the Oscars.

Is it the quality of the movie?

No, it just met a strong opponent, coupled with the political atmosphere at the time, "Forrest Gump" is more in line with the spirit of the American people, and it is also an existence that the government needs to promote.

If it were another year, "The Shawshank Redemption" would definitely be able to win the award, but it can only be said that luck is not good.

Luo Fan's help to Chen Mubai doesn't seem to be much, but it's actually a lot.

If it weren't for him, "Buried Alive" might not have been able to catch up with the Venice Film Festival that year, then it would not have won the award, naturally there would not be such a high level of discussion, and the box office of the film would not be so high.

At least for Chen Mubai's film and television plan, the time will be greatly delayed for a long time.

And the next two movies will not have such a big momentum, and the box office may be very low, start slowly, accumulate fame and qualifications, and then become popular.

The quality of the movie is the most important, but without Luo Fan's help, Chen Mubai's fame and influence in the film industry would be much smaller, and the existence of Bole is also extremely important.

"Haha, you are modest, no wonder you can achieve such achievements at such a young age!" Luo Fan sighed.

Chen Mubai is so young, he has achieved such high achievements but he is not proud at all, just by virtue of his heart, he is a person who does great things.

If you are someone else, I am afraid that you will attribute the reason for your success to yourself, and how many will thank others for the help they have provided to him after becoming famous?

There are really not many people who know how to repay their kindness, but a person with this kind of character has his own bottom line and principles for doing things, and his success rate will be high, and it can be extended, after all, everyone likes to deal with people with good character rather than cunning people.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Mubai was about to tell Lu Fang about it.

In fact, his next project is sure to be completed.

The so-called Hong Kong films are generally divided into two kinds, one is the gangster Crazy Boy type of movie, which belongs to the atmosphere of classic Hong Kong films.

The other is a police movie, a shootout between the police and gangsters, or a spy war genre.

Most Hong Kong films have this taste, and this kind of movie in the last century was very delicious, but because of this, everyone blindly went to shoot, resulting in too many movies of the same type, and because they wanted to make money, they accelerated the speed of shooting, and they did not conceive well of the script, which led to the uneven quality of the movie.

Not only the audience in Hong Kong is tired of watching it, but also the audience in the mainland is tired of watching it through the disc.

The final result is the audience's aesthetic fatigue, and then with the rise of the mainland's film and television industry, Hong Kong films declined.

One of the reasons for the success of the last "Seven Heroes" is that it did not follow the old-fashioned plot, but took the road of martial arts, which brought freshness to the audience, coupled with a strong style of rivers and lakes, which made the box office of the movie explode.

But after the birth of "Seven Heroes", many film and television companies began to produce movies of the same type, and then the quality of the shooting was too poor, and the theme was damaged again.

The audience thinks that it is the problem of Xiangjiang movies, and they are resistant to Xiangjiang movies, so the box office is getting worse and worse.

A Chinese New Year movie in Xiangjiang, starring a well-known superstar, is still so bad at the box office, because the audience already has a kind of colored glasses for Xiangjiang's movies, thinking that it is likely to be a bad movie, and is unwilling to pay.

The Xiangjiang film and television industry wants to change this status quo, so they want to find a director with strong appeal to shoot, which may be able to save the hearts of the audience, so they found Chen Mubai.

What Chen Mubai wants to shoot is an orthodox Hong Kong film style, that is, a police film.

A very wonderful police movie, the two sides planted undercover agents in each other's camp and began to fight wits and courage.

The quality of this movie is extremely high, and the script of the movie is also very good, the whole process is a moment when the actors are acting skills, and they are suspected of clearing their suspicions in the future, and they have to ensure the identity of the undercover agent, which is tense and exciting.

It's just that the requirements for the acting skills of the actors will be relatively high, and Chen Mubai will still need to find some powerful actors to play at that time.

This is not a problem, since Luo Fan said it, the people of the Xiangjiang Film Association will do their best to assist him, and the acting skills of those well-known actors are naturally not a problem.

"Infernal Affairs", this is the script that Chen Mubai is preparing to shoot.

In the previous life, as the last pinnacle of Hong Kong films, and since this drama, Xiangjiang's movies have regained their last glory, and since then they have begun to decline.

The film was remade and borrowed from foreign countries.

South Korea's classic movie "New World" refers to the setting of this movie, and then incorporates its own things, making this movie famous overseas.

The United States remade this movie, called "Infernal Hell", and also won the Oscar, which shows the excellence of its script!

Therefore, when Luo Fan asked for help for the first time, this movie appeared in Chen Mubai's mind.

It definitely meets all his requirements, and this movie is also a movie that he likes very much, just take this opportunity to make it, and you can also get the friendship of the people of the Xiangjiang Film Association, why not?

......

"Coming back?"

"What did you say?"

"Does Law always have something to do with you?"

After Chen Mubai entered the door, everyone looked at Chen Mubai and asked.

"Mr. Luo always wants to find me to make a movie with a Hong Kong film style. Chen Mubai spoke.

He said that if I make it, no matter what the box office of the film is, my film will be released in Xiangjiang in the future, and it will guarantee the highest screening rate, which is the condition promised to me by their film association. ”

Everyone was stunned.

That's a bit of a big price to pay!

"You agreed?" Lu Fang asked.

"I don't think I can say yes hastily, it looks good, but the current film market in Xiangjiang is sluggish, and if you really shoot it, you may not be able to save them, but you may fall into it yourself. Chen Yunteng frowned and said seriously.

He is a director, and he has a better understanding of the market in the industry, and knows that the film industry in Xiangjiang is difficult to mix now.

Although the conditions are tempting, they are too difficult and risky, so they are unnecessary.

"That's the truth. Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement.

Chen Mubai spread his hands: "I have already agreed." ”

"Huh?"

This time it was everyone's turn to be dumbfounded.

They thought Chen Mubai was a smart person, how could he agree so hastily?

"To repay the favor?" this is the thought that came to the minds of Lu Fang and the others.

They know Chen Mubai very well, he is indeed a very kind person, so he can also be said to be a person who repays his kindness.

"Part of the reason is to repay Mr. Luo for his help to us, otherwise, we would not have developed so fast. Chen Mubai continued, which can be regarded as answering the questions in their hearts.

"I'm not so stupid, my next work was originally going to shoot a police film, which just met Mr. Luo's requirements, so I agreed. ”

"I'm very confident in this film, it's the type of subject I've wanted to shoot for a long time, and now I have the opportunity. ”

"But the public's impression of Xiangjiang movies is not good...... Chen Yunteng said.

Chen Mubai said: "That's because the homogenization of Xiangjiang movies is too serious, and the audience is already aesthetically fatigued, and when they see a beginning, they can guess the result, such a movie is too boring for them, so they naturally won't watch it again." ”

"As long as it can create suspense, it can still rekindle their expectations, and in the final analysis, it is still a matter of quality. ”

Lu Fang said: "What Mu Bai said is not wrong, but it is still difficult to change the audience's impression." ”

"That's not what I care about, I just need to give them a start, and the rest depends on their efforts, and I can't change the status quo alone. Chen Mubai said.

This is a matter of the environment, and it cannot be changed by one person.

But if Chen Mubai succeeds, he can get off to a good start and change the audience's inherent impression of Hong Kong films, as long as Xiangjiang can still make excellent movies in the future, then he can break the game.

The main reason is that it is more difficult to get off to a good start, after all, the audience's trust in Xiangjiang movies has been overdrawn, and it is difficult to go from 0 to 1, but it is much easier to go from 1 to 2.

"Since you say yes, then yes, we believe you. Lu Fang nodded.

As long as Chen Mubai is not impulsive, there is no problem, and he is still very relieved to do things.
