Hong Kong New Territories, Phantom World Entertainment Company---

In the company's conference room, which is not luxuriously decorated, but it is very comfortable, there are seven or eight people sitting upright, almost all of whom are the management of the film company, including Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

Song Zhichao looked at the company's recent business report, to be precise, the box office report, and was very satisfied with the profit amount of several dramas filmed by the company.

As the second boss of the Phantom World Company, Fu Jiajun is also sitting at the front at the moment, but this second young master Fu is constantly yawning, looking like he didn't have a good rest last night.

In fact, it is true, since he knew that his film company was a box office hit, Fu Ershao invited his relatives and friends to celebrate very coquettishly, and he Fu Ershao was left at banquets, nightclubs, and dance halls.

For Fu Jiajun, when celebrating, as long as the other party says "Fu Shao, you are so good, I didn't expect you to be so good at filming", he will immediately get excited like a chicken blood.

As a well-known gentleman in Hong Kong, Fu Jiajun never dreamed that he would one day be praised and respected like this. And these praises and respects are all from the heart and from the bottom of their hearts, unlike before, when they spent their own money to find praise--- those people also provided them with free food and drink for themselves, so they kept slapping themselves.

Because he was having so much fun, he yawned a lot as soon as the meeting began, which made him feel embarrassed, because those people in the management looked at him from time to time. Fu Jiajun was in tears, and he couldn't explain that he was too sleepy, so he could only endure it and wait for Song Zhichao to speak at the meeting.

Finally, Song Zhichao put down the information in his hand, then made a pagoda with both hands, sat upright and said: "I'm very happy, our performance this quarter is very good, no, to be precise, it's very good! Come, everyone give themselves a round of applause!"

Papapa, everyone applauded together.

Song Zhichao waited until the applause stopped for a while, and then said: "Seeing that the several dramas we invested in have all been released and the box office is also a big hit, and then we are about to enter 1992, so what is our shooting plan, who do you want to talk about it?"

Song Zhichao set his eyes on the management and glanced at Fu Jiajun first. Fu Jiajun was yawning, and when he saw him looking, he hurriedly wiped his face and said, "I have no opinion, you can do what you say." ”

Song Zhichao looked at others again, and everyone didn't speak.

At this time, Liu Dehua said.

Liu Dehua said that his Tianmu is going to start filming a big production next, called "The Legend of God of War", the male protagonist is played by him, the second male lead is the big B brother Zhong Zhentao, and the heroine is Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung.

Then he said that the movie tells the story of the fisherman Ah Fei and Yan Shisan, a remnant of the previous dynasty, who became a rebel and helped Yan Shisan and the monarch of Lanling to regain the throne from the fourteenth prince, but fell in love with Yan Shisan's fiancée Yue'er, and after getting rid of the fourteenth prince, he retired for the sake of his friend's faith.

Obviously, because of the success of the play "1991 The Condor Heroes", Liu Dehua is full of confidence in his new drama that he is preparing to film, so when telling the story of the script of this play, Liu Dehua also used very strong personal feelings.

In the end, Liu Dehua smiled and said to Song Zhichao: "I am very optimistic about this drama, if Mr. Song, you think it is okay, we can cooperate again, and you Phantom can also invest in it, what do you think?"

Looking at Liu Dehua's expectant eyes, Song Zhichao did not immediately say yes to him, after all, investing in filming is not making friends, favors and investment are two different things.

The most important thing is that Song Zhichao knows too well about Liu Dehua's drama in his previous life.

To be precise, "The Legend of God of War" is a film in which Lau Dehua's Tianmu film investment failed, but it is also a crazy masterpiece in the heyday of Hong Kong films in the early 90s.

There are four directors in this film. Sammo Hung is the nominal director in charge of the overall situation, and completes the martial arts drama with Cheng Xiaodong and Yuankui according to the division of labor according to the scene, and Luo Qirui and Zhang Wanting are responsible for the cultural and drama part.

At that time, Cheng Xiaodong's elegant "dance and fighting" style was unique and popular, and Sammo Hung who preferred ground combat and emphasized hard bridges and hard horses had their own opinions, and it was inevitable that the two people with equally hot personalities would go wrong, according to Luo Qirui - don't let them stay together.

In addition to the first protagonist Liu Dehua, this film brings together three stars: Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and Zhong Zhentao. It's a pity that due to schedule problems, only one scene of the four people who have a large number of rival scenes in the entire production process is really filmed together at the same time;

The most exaggerated is Maggie Cheung, who gave the crew two days to shoot her close-ups in all the scenes, and the rest of the civil and military scenes were handed over to stand-ins. The statement of a daily salary of 2 million may originate from this. No wonder she is the second heroine in the scene, at least in a supporting role, but she made a cameo appearance, and finally did not fool the audience.

Later, Sammo Hung mentioned in other interviews that he was disappointed with the star-first and shoddy production of Hong Kong films in terms of quick success and quick profit.

In his previous life, Song Zhichao watched "The Legend of the God of War" for the first time when he was still in school, and was attracted by Liu Dehua's opening show in the bamboo forest, as well as rare and strange dolphins. After rewatching it a few years later, Song Zhichao really understood the movie, and only then did he understand that Andy's heroic appearance and the dolphin in the swimming pool could not resist the test of time, the traces of the action scene stand-in were too obvious, and the rhythm of the literary drama part was too slow compared with the whole film. What's worse is that after learning about those gossips in the DVD footage, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I can't enjoy the movie purely anymore.

But no matter what, in the future, this drama will be accompanied by "Scorpion Warrior" and "Kung Fu Kid Breaking Love", which is known as the "Three Unpopular Martial Arts Movies", and it can be regarded as having a place in the history of Hong Kong martial arts films.

However, in retrospect, it was also this drama that made Liu Dehua lose a mess, a shrewd person like Song Zhichao would never invest in filming this drama, what nostalgia, what feelings, in his eyes is worthless, he knows that he is losing money, and he still has to do it, that is a big fool.

Thinking of this, Song Zhichao already had a plan in his heart, smiled kindly, and said to Liu Dehua: "Andy, since you are very optimistic about this drama, then this drama must be very good, but recently, the Phantom Company's funds are a little tighter, and at first glance, your cast is a big production--- for the time being, we have no funds to invest in such a big production." ”

Song Zhichao said very tactfully, he didn't persuade Liu Dehua not to shoot this drama, the reason is that Liu Dehua is now full of self-confidence, and it is useless for you to persuade him; In addition, Song Zhichao still has selfishness, selfishness is to let Liu Dehua fall hard, only in this way can he better control the other party in the future--- For Song Zhichao, Liu Dehua is not only a friend, but also a star, a star who can help Phantom Entertainment make money. So what Song Zhichao has to do is to invest in Liu Dehua's drama and lose money, so as to deepen his emotional investment.

Where did Liu Dehua know this, he really thought that Song Zhichao had no money on hand and missed such a good investment opportunity, so he shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Looking at his appearance, I have the regretful feeling that I want to make a fortune with you, but you missed a good opportunity.

Song Zhichao was afraid that Liu Dehua would entangle himself again, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked Zhou Xingchi, who was sitting with Liu Dehua: "Xingzai, what are your shooting plans for next year?"

Zhou Xingchi himself is not the same as the ghost horse in the movie, dull, wooden, and doesn't seem to be very good at talking, at this moment when he saw Song Zhichao asking, he snapped and said, "I've thought about it...... I want to shoot Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of Deer and Ding", ......"

"The Story of Deer and Ding"?" Hearing Zhou Xingchi say this, Song Zhichao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately patted the case: "This can be had!"
