276. Script

Saturday, October 17th.

The world's major exchanges are closed over the weekend, and although I can't wait to cut leeks, I can only calm down and wait patiently.

In the bedroom, Guo Yongkun was lying on the desk by the windowsill, scratching his skull with one hand and holding a pen in the other, writing and drawing on a notepad. It was very painful, and I don't know how many brain cells died.

The film script is a kind of literary carrier that he has never tried, and its writing method is very different, it is difficult to say who is difficult and who is easy, but he has less contact and less reading, and he is not used to writing for the first time.

He attaches great importance to this script, Xinghan Film and Television Company can only be regarded as a third-rate company in Hong Kong City, and he hopes that through this movie, Xinghan will really get on the center stage, so the box office and word of mouth are indispensable.

There are naturally a lot of classic film and television works in my head, such as "Life of Pi" and "Inception", which are not impossible to write.

It's just that in this era, it is difficult to shoot the effect.

As for the question of what spoils a good script, it is not within his consideration.

A successful businessman must know how to use resources reasonably. Those advanced memories in his brain are his most valuable resources.

After thinking about it, I still target Hong Kong films that have not yet come out, and the era span cannot be too far. I feel that this is the way to complement each other and achieve the best results.

In this way, the range of options is greatly narrowed.

Regarding Hong Kong films from the late 80s to the early 90s, the memories are deep enough to be recorded in words, in fact, there are only so many.

"God of Gamblers" series.

"Crazy Boy" series.

"Best Partner" series.

"The True Colors of Heroes" series.

"Overlord Flower" series.

"Rich and Powerful" series.

"Prison Storm" series.

plus several hit singles like "Bloody Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

But when his thoughts came here, he thought of another question, this kind of memorable movie is not easy to make.

Don't mention the hardware support, you can get it if you have money. The main thing is staffing.

The first is a good director.

Xinghan's existing contract directors are still not at a good level in Guo Yongkun's opinion, and it is okay to shoot brainless pure commercial films, he emphasized and drew the underlined connotation part in the script, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to grasp the essence.

And this is where the reputation of classic films distinguishes money-making films.

Secondly, excellent actors.

The movies that are still fresh in my mind, whether it is "God of Gamblers" or "Best Partner", can be described as an all-star lineup.

Let's just say that Brother Fa is good, I don't dare to say that I am the first brother in Hong Kong films at this time, because there are still the qualifications of Brother Bao and Brother Long on the head, but he is definitely the most sought-after male number one candidate.

In 1987, that is, this year, Fa Ge made a total of 11 movies, 5 of which appeared on the box office charts, and won awards softly.

What is the concept of 11 movies a year?

An average of one per month. It's a film and television company that wants to find him to make a movie.

Guo Yongkun doesn't think that in the name of Xinghan Company, he can make an appointment with a casual appointment, and Fa Ge can agree.

Others who are inferior to him are similar, such as Andy, Brother, Sister Fang, etc., all of whom are fragrant and sweet in the industry. In the era of the epidemic of Hong Kong films, it is difficult to make an appointment with any of them, let alone choose a film like "God of Gamblers", which is star-studded.

There is actually a factor here: those word-of-mouth movies that did not have big stars to join, Guo Yongkun does not remember.

He is also a layman, and when he chooses to watch a movie, the first thing he looks at is the starring role.

So the movies I remember in my head are all starring superstars.

It's not that I haven't thought about finding a starlet to replace their role, but I always feel that there is a risk, and I am blind to my painstaking planning.

Therefore, after considering many aspects, Guo Yongkun finally chose a script - "The Story of Ah Lang".

This film is the first film to see him crying, it is very touching, a story about the prodigal son's return, Guo Yongkun positions it as "the cruel story of youth".

The movie made him understand a truth:

If a man loves a woman deeply, he will definitely fight for it once in a rage, to prove that the fire in his soul is always burning, even if he is a father, he is old, and he needs help.

If a father loves his child deeply, he will definitely change himself for him, and he will not hesitate to prove the integrity of his image in the child's heart, licking the calf, the heart of the fist, and moving forward bravely for the sake of commitment, even if it is at the cost of his life.

At the end of the film, Luo Dayou's "The Way You Look" fits perfectly with the film, fully expressing the emotions of regret, hope, and then despair.

Back then, when he saw this, Guo Yongkun burst into tears.

Without a doubt, this is a classic. But the main reason why he chose this movie is because the protagonist of this movie is almost alone in the lead, and he has even forgotten about the other supporting roles and can be replaced.

And director Lao Du, who only had a small role at this time, was just starting out in the film industry, and in 1980 he filmed a film "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold", which received a mediocre response, so he returned to TVB to continue his studies. It wasn't until last year that he was invited by Huang Baiming, the owner of Xinyi City, to take charge of the third part of "Happy Ghost", which attracted attention.

It's not hard to please.

At least it's not as difficult to invite big-name directors such as his master Wang Tianlin, the cub of Wang Tianlin, the director of "God of Gamblers", and John Woo, the director of "The True Color of Heroes".

In fact, it was "The Story of Ah Lang" that made Lao Du.

As for the starring role, if Fa Ge really can't make an appointment, then Guo Yongkun still has a backup candidate - Andy.

I think the effect will not be bad, this kind of prodigal son image, Andy is still quite suitable.

For other supporting roles, he didn't bother to worry about it, so he handed it over to Lao Du and gave the money himself.

There was a knock at the door.

"Brother Guo, it's time to eat. ”

"Oh, here we are. Guo Yongkun closed the notepad and locked it in a drawer.

This thing must not be seen by Lan Lingyun before it is formed, otherwise a lie will have to be fulfilled with countless lies.

Didn't he claim in Xinghan that he knew a gold medal screenwriter?

He even had a pen name in mind - the copyist...... Well, let's peel it out, call it "the old days".

In the future, if you become famous, whoever likes to find them will be able to find them.

"Why are you here?" Coming to the door, Guo Yongkun found that there was an extra person in the dining room, who was eating unceremoniously.

"Why, the world of the two of them is so moist, I am annoyed by a meal?" Luo Qiaoyue bit a piece of chicken and said vaguely.

Lan Lingyun, who came with the dishes, blushed suddenly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Guo Yongkun glared at him angrily, Luo Qiaoyue.

Even though it has been explained clearly, this guy still doesn't believe that he and Lan Lingyun are innocent.

"Is there any nonsense you know. Luo Qiaoyue snorted.

In her opinion, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, talented and beautiful, are still young and vigorous, and they don't believe in anything if something doesn't happen.

If she wants to live with a handsome guy, she will definitely not be able to stand it, and if the other party does not move, she has to do it first. Who doesn't have a physiological need?

"Eat your meal, raw fried chicken can't stop your mouth. Guo Yongkun simply didn't bother to pay attention to her, glanced at Lan Lingyun, and the other party Xiafei had his cheeks, eating with his head bored, and didn't say a word.

After the meal was finished, Lan Lingyun quickly put the bowl into it and brewed two cups of green tea.

"Sister Luo, drink tea. ”

"Well, thank you. Luo Qiaoyue smiled and nodded.

After many contacts, she no longer hates Lan Lingyun, but this does not mean that she approves of his brother's behavior of quickly finding a "next home" just after they broke up.

That's right, in her opinion, Lan Lingyun is simple and kind, and it must be his brother's misdeeds first.

"What's the matter?" Guo Yongkun knew that it was impossible for her to come over to be a light bulb if she was fine. Of course, that's what she thought.

"I was blackmailed. ”

“...... What the hell?" Guo Yongkun was stunned.

"You are the boss, so of course I want to report to you, we originally hired a housekeeping company, responsible for the company's sanitation and cleaning, as well as vegetation maintenance, but since the day before yesterday, this housekeeping company suddenly did not come, I was still wondering, but then took the initiative to come to a housekeeping company, asking to contract our business, 20,000 yuan a month. ”

"So arrogant?" Guo Yongkun frowned.

These housekeeping companies, that is, every morning or evening, send a few people to come and clean up. He had seen the company's accounts, and the expenditure was eight thousand dollars per month.

This is reasonable. 20,000 yuan, isn't it extortion?

"Do you have to use them, you can't find anyone if you don't need them?" asked Guo Yongkun.

"That's right. Luo Qiaoyue nodded, "They don't make noise or noise, anyway, if they are not invited, other housekeeping companies will not dare to enter the building." Upstairs and downstairs, I also inquired about the next door or so, and there were one or two companies frozen there, and now the floor and table were dusty. ”

"Playing tricks to monopolize. Guo Yongkun understood as soon as he heard it.

This matter was originally easy to solve, so why don't you just clean up, and ask someone to do it yourself.

It's a pity that Hong Kong is not like the mainland, where white-collar workers would rather quit their jobs than clean toilets.

If the company recruits its own people, it has to support at least 4-5 cleaners for a long time in an area of several hundred square meters, and the sum of various benefits is estimated to be more than 20,000 yuan per month.

"Brother, the expenditure of more than 10,000 yuan a month is a trivial matter, but we can't encourage this arrogance, anyway, I will never compromise. Why don't you invite your good friend Chen Dashao to come out, our company is still in his name. Lawyer Luo said indignantly.

"No, I'll figure it out myself. Guo Yongkun waved his hand.

You can't count on Chen Dashao for everything, and Chen Dashao is not his nanny.

"You?"

I'll go, what kind of eyes are you? Your brother and I are also very strong, okay, there are few people in Hong Kong City who are more fierce than your brother. Guo Yongkun rolled his eyes.

He stood up and thought about making a phone call to the flying dragon, asking the other party to go to the investment company, investigate the matter, and press it down.

Guo Yongkun didn't believe that no matter how fierce the other party was, he could beat a community talker.

Halfway through, the doorbell rang.

Lan Lingyun trotted over to open the door, and Cao Cao, whom Luo Qiaoyue had just mentioned, arrived as soon as he said it.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Dashao couldn't help pouting when he saw Guo Yongkun holding a toothpick in his mouth. I specially rushed over to rub the rice, but I didn't rub it.

There is no mistake
