Chapter 57: 1980 John Woo

Without waiting for others to enthusiastically please Fang Wanshan, Fang Wanshan directly handed over the afternoon horse, lowered his head and whispered in his ear:

"There are too many people, you go to help count the project, except for our company's people, only one person can be left in each project to complain, and you let Xiao Sun arrange the others in the conference room next to you. ”

Wu Ma had actually counted most of the project applications in the morning, but seeing that Fang Wanshan didn't mean to ask, he didn't know anything, but handed over the statistical documents in his hand to Zhong Chuhong on the side, and whispered a few words to her, he went directly to find the project declarants and began to let them discuss the people who stayed.

The communication was very smooth, and after the announcement of the afternoon horse, except for the two projects that the partners discussed together and spent a few minutes outside the conference room, the others basically expected this situation and had been prepared for a long time. Before Fang Wanshan could finish listening to Zhong Chuhong's project explanation, Wu Ma ran over and whispered to Fang Wanshan that it was all right.

It is expected that there will be a total of 7 projects, of which there are 5 plans, 2 just have ideas, and there are fewer complete scripts, only two, one is submitted by Tsui Hark, and the other is submitted by the mustache Chen Xunqi, Chen Xunqi officially joined the film and television company in March, but Fang Wanshan was not there at that time, according to Fang Wanshan's telephone instructions, he is now in charge of the music production studio independently.

Fang Wanshan motioned to Wuma to arrange for them to start speaking, he was really unfamiliar with these people, under Wuma's arrangement, the first opportunity to get the opportunity was "Heroes Without Tears", this one was recommended by Tsui Hark, and it was another fat man who stood up and explained to Fang Wanshan, why are there so many fat people, Fang Wanshan complained a little unhappily in his heart.

"Mr. Fang is good, everyone, contemptible Wu Yusen. "The fat man got up and said hello to Fang Wanshan first."

Wu Yusen, Fang Wanshan was shocked, and quickly got up to shake hands with him to express his honor, as for his other follow-up introductions, Fang Wanshan didn't listen to them at all, this name Fang Wanshan still knows that Fa Ge Chow Yun-fat's turnaround work "The True Color of Heroes" is his, he is known as the father of gunfights, and is one of the representatives of Xiangjiang directors.

Looking at Wu Yusen's recommender Tsui Hark, Fang Wanshan couldn't help but be a little playful, the relationship between the two of them will be known to future generations, and it is a very interesting thing, but Fang Wanshan will definitely not let go of Wu Yusen, and he will invest heavily in him in the future, after thinking of these, Fang Wanshan began to listen carefully to Wu Yusen's introduction.

John Woo's introduction is not as wonderful as his film, it is very simple and straightforward, but fortunately there is a simple script to provide. "Heroes Without Tears" tells the story of Chen Zhong who was secretly hired by the United States to arrest a Thai drug lord, on the condition that he escort his wife, children and comrades-in-arms to the United States to live a peaceful life. But he and his friends were killed and injured one after another during the mission, and in the predicament, they met the American explosives expert again, in order to help Chen Zhong escape and repay the grace of saving his life, he decided to help him with death, and finally he and his son finally escorted the drug lord to escape.

Fortunately, Fang Wanshan heard of this movie in later generations, and heard that someone suffered a gunshot wound during the filming process, and it was filmed very early, but for this reason it has not been broadcast, and it has always been the fire of "The True Color of Heroes", and this one was taken out to rub the heat, but Fang Wanshan has seen the report in the influence, and I remember that it is a loss, and this time Wu Yusen They want to invest a lot, with a total of more than 1 million big productions.

However, Fang Wanshan himself has never seen it, Wu Yusen's introduction was very short, before Fang Wanshan could react, he finished the introduction, the scene was very quiet, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, as a recommender Xu Hark could only help Fang Wanshan on the side and explained:

"This Mr. Fang, Director Wu is a very experienced director, he has directed many famous films before, the year before last, "Fa Qian Han" achieved a box office of more than 5 million, this time this "Heroes Without Tears" is his transformation work, it is so coincidental, I have a good relationship with him, he just created Mr. Fang just wants to invest a lot, I think it is very good, so I recommend it. ”

Tsui Hark smiled and explained to Fang Wanshan, in fact, Wu Yusen had this idea a long time ago, but he rarely had the opportunity at Shaw Brothers, after communicating with the senior management many times, Wu Yusen was a little cold, and his friend Tsui Hark also said, but Tsui Hark is not very interested in the righteousness of gunfight heroes, he wants to make money now, Xiangjiang now has two types of money, one is comedy, and the other is a kung fu movie, so Tsui Hark persuaded him to transform, but Wu Yusen is very stubborn and insists on his own ideas and ideals.

This time Fang Wanshan's big money burning made Tsui Hark, an old fox, see an opportunity, although he knew that Fang Wanshan didn't pay much attention to him, but it was not a favor, and he could still do some benefits, so why not.

When Tsui Hark thought of this, he worked even harder, and was very excited to say to Wan Shan:

"Mr. Fang, this is an epoch-making gunfight film, when I communicated with Director Wu, I wanted to show the man's steel spirit and the tense gunfight scene, and we used new lenses in the movie,。。。。 These are all things you told me before, Mr. Fang."

Tsui Hark blew a bunch of professional terms at Fang Wanshan, a layman, but unfortunately Fang Wanshan didn't understand it very well, but what Fang Wanshan knew was that "Heroes Without Tears" was on the street behind it, and after Tsui Hark stopped, Fang Wanshan motioned to others to express their opinions.

The first to get up and express his opinion was Wu Ma, he still expressed his support like a good man, and then there were the original members of the struggle studio, they didn't have to say, they all supported, the neutral opinion was Cen Jianxun, Zhang Che, Zheng Zeshi and Wang Jing held opposing opinions, the two of them mainly thought that the investment was too large, the theme was too novel, and the risk was high.

Fang Wanshan is very satisfied with the two who oppose conservatism, after all, no one is a prophet, the opinions of Cen Jianxun and Zhang Che are not bad in Fang Wanshan's opinion, they have their business interests to consider, a big investment production, or different types, it is a very good opportunity for the theater chain and actors.

After listening to the opinions of the people below, Fang Wanshan had already paid attention to it in his heart, and after he stood up with a smile and looked around, he said unhurriedly:

"I voted for this movie, and I'll give you 2 million, make it better. Fang Wanshan first came to a conclusion, looked at the expressions of the people below, and then said to Wu Yusen:

"I didn't vote for this drama because of the movie itself, what I value is Director Wu, I support Director Wu's ideals very much, and the development of Xiangjiang movies can't just rely on comedy kung fu films to support. ”

Wu Yusen was very excited about Fang Wanshan's agreement, but not everyone agreed with Fang Wanshan's point of view, just like Tsui Hark with a little contempt in his eyes now, but Fang Wanshan didn't care so much, in order to win over Wu Yusen, Fang Wanshan continued:

"Director Wu, it doesn't matter if this shootout film makes money or not, although you shoot the effect you want, and you can open your mouth for the budget, I hope this movie is a cornerstone for you. ”

After saying this, looking at Wu Yusen, who was a little excited, Fang Wanshan said as if he thought of something:

"But there is one thing, Director Wu must remember that safety must be the first thing in filming movies, especially the safety of actors, and the props of gunfight films especially need to pay attention to safety, and I hope to send a staff member to serve as the props team. ”

For Fang Wanshan's request, Wu Yusen agreed immediately, although his request was a bit strange, but the props staff were not a very important role in the crew.
