313 [Shin Jing Wu Men 1991]
Seeing Zhou Xingchi staring at him with wide eyes, Song Zhichao stood up with a smile, then walked back to his desk, took out something from the drawer again, and then handed it to Zhou Xingchi and said, "This is the new contract I prepared for you, you take a look first." ”
Zhou Xingchi took it suspiciously and looked at it.
Huang Zihua, who was sitting next to Zhou Xingchi, stretched his neck and took his eyes to look secretly.
Zhou Xingchi found out, so he moved his ass and took the contract higher.
Huang Zihua felt bored, so he muttered: "What's the spirit, I also have this kind of contract." ”
Indeed, the contract in Zhou Xingchi's hand at this moment is actually similar to the contract signed by Huang Zihua.
However, compared with Huang Zihua, Zhou Xingchi's contract autonomy is greater, and the filming dividends are more. The two are the same in that they are both affiliated to the artists signed by the Phantom World, but they are not selling their bodies, but selling their bodies, which is often said to be selling their bodies without selling their bodies.
Zhou Xingchi can choose the script to film in the Phantom, the Phantom does not force it, after each drama is released, in addition to paying Zhou Xingchi's million salary, dividends will also be given according to the actual box office.
Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that Song Zhichao clearly stipulates in the contract that in addition to choosing the movies he likes to shoot, Zhou Xingchi can also serve as the director and producer of the film, and is fully responsible for the filming of a play, that is to say, Song Zhichao gave Zhou Xingchi the power to direct and produce.
You know, this is no joke.
As long as you are working hard in the Hong Kong film industry, you know who is the biggest director in Hong Kong filming!
Actors are just tools in the hands of directors and producers, just bargaining chips for their filming, and they have no voice and autonomy at all.
To put it more bluntly, actors have no status at all in the eyes of directors and producers, no matter how beautiful you are, no matter how popular you are, no matter how big a name is, the director and producer can't bird you, they can kick you out and ban you in minutes.
For a long time, in addition to liking to be an actor, Zhou Xingchi's biggest dream is to be a director.
But no one would give him that power.
Even though he is very popular now, with "The Saint of Gambling" and "Truant Dragon", no one dares to use him as a director.
In his previous life, there were times when Zhou Xingchi even had a conflict with To Qifeng, who directed "The Judge of the Dead", in order to wish to be a director. To Qifeng thought he was in the way, and he was even more point-at-home to the shooting on the set, so he found an opportunity to tell Zhou Xingchi: "You are nonsensical, just do your nonsense, being a director is not for you!"
Later, To Qifeng cooperated with Zhou Xingchi to shoot "Jigong", this time Zhou Xingchi had a lot of ghost ideas, and the conflict with director Du Qifeng escalated, so that in the end, the two didn't even talk much on the set. Such a relationship made this drama a "bad movie", and after it was released in Taiwan and Hong Kong, it failed at the box office.
For this reason, Du Qifeng put the blame on Zhou Xingchi, saying that he didn't care about acting, and there was no market for nonsense. Zhou Xingchi didn't take the blame, and told the media how much advice he gave during filming, but he was shot by Director Du. In short, because of this drama, Zhou Xingchi and To Qifeng completely broke up, and there will be no cooperation in the future.
It was also from this incident that Zhou Xingchi still completely had the mind to turn from the front of the screen to the back of the scenes as a director, and the future "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", "Mermaid", "Journey to the West", etc., all proved that in addition to being an excellent comedian, he is also an excellent director and producer.
Song Zhichao is a person who has come over, he has a clear understanding of Zhou Xingchi's details, and he has the golden finger of prediction, of course, he dares to gamble, bet on Zhou Xingchi, and promote him to be the director and producer.
But for Zhou Xingchi, Song Zhichao's move is not only to buy people's hearts, but also to have great trust in himself and recognition of his ability.
What does it feel like?
As if it were ---
The whole world looks down on me, but you see me as the brightest star in the sky.
"Song, Mr. Song---" Zhou Xingchi's lips trembled, and he felt a little excited, "This contract ...... I totally accept it, but you asked me to be the director and the executive producer...... Can I do it?" Zhou Xingchi began to doubt himself.
In fact, this is also a very normal situation, you think, originally everyone opposed you, did not recognize you, said that you can't be a director, you can't be a producer, you are best at nonsensical, continue to be funny in the movie, don't think so much about boring; suddenly, but someone recognized you, and directly promoted you to be a director and producer, at this time you don't have doubts in your heart, and it's strange that there are self-doubts.
Faced with Zhou Xingchi's self-doubt, Song Zhichao just smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "If I remember well, Xingzai, your idol is Bruce Lee......"
As long as you are a fan of Zhou Xingchi, you know, Zhou Xingchi has been a fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child, and he also learned taekwondo and nunchucks for this purpose, and it was shown in the movies "Kung Fu" and "Shaolin Football" in his previous life.
Immediately, Zhou Xingchi nodded, "That's right, Brother Long is indeed my idol, I like him so much!"
"Then which of his plays do you like the most?" Song Zhichao took the pen and turned it in his hand, looking confident.
"I like his "Jingwumen". Zhou Xingchi said.
""Jingwumen" is OK, then we will shoot "Jingwumen" in the next film. Well, it should be called "New Jingwumen 1991". Song Zhichao slammed the pen on the table, and without waiting for Zhou Xingchi to ask, he continued: "I already have the general storyline, is it like this...... tells the story of the young hero Liu Jing's right arm with natural divine power, and after several twists and turns, he finally became the champion of the ring and hugged the beauty. ”
Song Zhichao first briefly stated the core of the story, and then began to explain the storyline of this play in detail to Zhou Xingchi, which is roughly the same as the play starring Xingzi in his previous life.
At this time, whether it was the party Zhou Xingchi or Huang Zihua, who was sitting on the side as an invisible person, in Song Zhichao's eloquent conversation, he was quickly attracted by Song Zhichao's rich imagination and humorous storyline.
You must know that in this era, qigong fever and special function fever are popular in the mainland, so this wind has also blown to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong has begun to shoot movies about special functions and other films, and the box office is a big hit, among which the more famous is Zhou Xingchi's "Gambling Saint", as well as "Super Police" starring Wan Ziliang, and "Modern Rulai Divine Palm" starring Liu Dehua.
Therefore, Song Zhichao's addition of the gimmick of special functions to "New Jingwumen 1991" is definitely a big attraction and selling point.
Although Zhou Xingchi is an actor, he also knows how to grasp the audience's mind, so after listening to Song Zhichao's story construction and role arrangement of this play, he immediately knew that if this drama can be filmed successfully, the box office will definitely be very good, this is not a hunch, but an intuition, the intuition of being an actor!
What is different from Zhou Xingchi's feeling is Huang Zihua. As a person who should have acted as an invisible person, Huang Zihua did not have the consciousness of being an invisible person at all, and at first he compared the story arranged by Song Zhichao with his own script "Dong Du Agent", but the more he compared, the more he felt that Song Zhichao was simply condescending to be a screenwriter if he did not change his career.
Huang Zihua is also a very talented person, and he can also distinguish between good and bad.
Therefore, he knew that Song Zhichao's "New Jingwumen 1991" created for Zhou Xingchi was definitely worth betting---
Immediately, Huang Zihua said: "Xingzai, if you don't like this play, I can actually help you play it!"
seemed to feel that this was not enough, and then said: "Even if I don't receive a salary, I can act--- sacrificing for art has always been my highest demand as an actor! Don't look at me with that kind of admiration, I can easily be proud--- please!"
