Chapter 245: A Chance Encounter

This time it was Li Yadong's turn to frown, but no matter what he thought in his heart, he still patiently explained: "The title of the film is "The Crazy Boys reflect the real life of the group of Crazy Boys, and what I want to express is the reckless rivers and lakes and brotherhood, this is just the beginning, and when the five leading teenagers are still teenagers, the scene will switch immediately." ”

He paused at this point and answered another question: "Don't you think that Director Liu is like this in real life, if the lines are too gentle, it will be a bit nondescript." ”

"That's right......"

Liu Zetao rubbed his forehead and said: "But movies are movies after all, and they belong to a kind of art, you ...... It's too vulgar too. Since you were introduced by Lao Wang, I won't beat around the bush with you, our Golden Harvest has always paid attention to the quality of films, do you know why the Shaw Brothers' film industry stopped, it is because there are too many quick films, the good and bad films are uneven, and they can't form a unified good reputation. ”

This is clearly saying that his movie is bullshit, Li Yadong said in his heart that he was not a little angry, it was definitely fake, he said in his heart that you know a fart, movies are art, but what is the ultimate purpose of this art, it is nothing more than to please the audience.

Of course, it is not without directors who lose money and make money, and who spend their hearts and souls to make profound literary films.

Li Yadong is full of respect for those people, but he doesn't want to be them.

He doesn't otherwise "Crazy Boy" lacks spiritual nutrition, but if this film is bad, then he will never agree with it, saying that it is poor, it is because your thinking is still stuck in the old standard, this is a new film genre, in terms of pleasing the audience, which person who has watched "Crazy Boy" in his previous life is not enthusiastic?

"I would like to ask, Director Liu, as a producer, what is your first focus when choosing a film?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Liu Zetao glanced at him, and replied lightly: "Of course, it is its commercial value." ”

"That's fine. Li Yadong nodded and said: "I admit that this film is too realistic, some lines, and even behavior, it does look a little vulgar, but Director Liu, haven't you thought about it, this new way of expression may be exactly what the audience is looking forward to, after all, the world around us is like this, so that people can be well substituted into it, and there is a hearty feeling when watching." I recommend that you read the rest of the part, and I'm sure you'll be impressed by its special charm. ”

"No need!"

But I didn't know that Liu Zetao had already stood up, looked at Li Yadong condescendingly, and said: "Maybe what I just said wasn't straightforward enough, so I'll just say it directly." Innovation is a good thing, but in my eight years of experience, I can only say that you are looking in the wrong direction. Vulgarity is definitely not the development trend of future films. I have something unpleasant to say, and I hope you don't mind. Such a film is like a rat droppings, if it is released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, it will lower the grade of our entire cinema chain. And I can't afford to take this responsibility. ”

"Okay, excuse me. ”

Since people's words are so straightforward, Li Yadong will never force it.

There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.

It is said that the most important thing is the commercial value, but what Li Yadong sees through him is more about Golden Harvest's love for wings and the arrogance of being a veteran big brother.

Obviously, a new type of film is in front of him, but he doesn't even have the idea of trying it, for fear that this film will affect his overall image, so lacking in innovation, and it deserves to be acquired in the future.

It is true that Golden Harvest has indeed produced many movies with a good reputation, but word of mouth does not represent the box office.

From a business point of view, the act of cherishing wings too much is, in Li Yadong's view, really unwise.

Big brother, your company is here, and making money is the primary goal, okay, be reserved.

If Li Yadong has his own theater, no matter what kind of film it is, as long as it is legal and can make money, it is a good film.

On the contrary, even if the market reputation is good, at the company level, it is still a bad film.

Business, in fact, is just two words, interests. Simple and **, everything else is virtual.

After leaving the Jiahe Building, Li Yadong was not in a good mood, so he found a café nearby and asked for a cup of boiled water.

In fact, he understands in his heart that the "Crazy Boy" series is a little too advanced for this era, whether it is the line design, action fights, or the actors' dressing, they have never been seen before.

After all, the last "Crazy Boy" only started filming in the mid-nineties, and Li Yadong stubbornly advanced it by seven or eight years.

For example, Zhou Haimei's black bandeau with deep furrows exposed, and the lower body is a miniskirt that can wrap around the buttocks, in this era, I am afraid that it only exists in dance halls.

It's still the kind of dance hall that isn't very formal.

This is a kind of challenge to traditional Hong Kong films with advanced concepts, and some people in the industry who are too conservative are not very optimistic, and it is reasonable, probably because they feel that they are too out-of-the-box.

But Li Yadong is full of confidence, and the audience will definitely like it, because they have never seen such a fashionable movie.

Women, who doesn't like Zheng Yijian in tight leather pants?

Men, who doesn't like Zhou Haimei who wears miniskirts and shows ditches?

Li Yadong is not an industry insider, so he can't grasp the psychology of those people, but he can start from the audience's point of view.

Everyone has a curiosity, if it is him, if there is such a movie in this era, he is definitely willing to go into the theater to watch it.

is different from the previous life, the release of "Crazy Boy" in this era, in his opinion, is more suitable, and the difference of the times will give this movie a new selling point.

And now, he must find someone who knows the goods.

After adjusting his mood a little and forgetting the unpleasantness that happened in Jiahe Company before, Li Yadong left the café and rode a motorcycle to Xinyi City.

The two companies are not far apart, and Li Yadong has already done his homework, so it is not too much trouble to find them.

After walking into the hall, Li Yadong looked around, and a staff member noticed him and came over and asked, "Is there something wrong with this gentleman?"

"Oh, I'm the boss of Dongfanghong Pictures, and I'm looking for the person in charge of your company. As he spoke, Li Yadong handed over a business card in a timely manner.

After the staff member took it, he was obviously stunned, industry insiders like them naturally know very well about the film and television companies on the market, but this Dongfanghong has never heard of it, so he knows that it is a new company, so he asked: "I don't know if you want to find the person in charge of our company, do you have an appointment?"

"All three of you bosses are fine, but you don't have an appointment. Li Yadong said with a smile.

The staff saw that he was also a boss, and his attitude was not bad, after thinking about it, he replied: "That's it, only Mr. Huang is in the company at present, you go to the rest area over there and wait for a while, I'll help you ask, but if he can't see you, I'm not sure." ”

"Okay, thank you very much. ”

Li Yadong sat on the sofa in the rest area for about five minutes, and the staff went back and forth.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang has a guest over there now, saying that he doesn't have time today, or you can come back another day. ”

Hearing her say this, Li Yadong couldn't help frowning slightly, "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes" will be completed in more than ten days, time is pressing, where can he wait, so he asked, "What about the afternoon?"

"I don't know about this, I should have dinner with the guests at noon, maybe there are other arrangements in the afternoon, anyway, that's what he said. ”

"Oh, excuse me. ”

After he thanked him, the staff left, but Li Yadong did not leave.

Just now, the staff went to find the so-called Mr. Huang, there was no doubt that Huang Baiming was there, he had been observing, and he already knew where his office was, and took advantage of the gap that no one was paying attention to, and quietly groped for it.

The corridor was quiet, near the boss's office, naturally no one dared to make a loud noise, and even there was no one in the entire corridor, the door was closed, Li Yadong came to the door and stopped for a while, and vaguely heard laughter coming from inside, it seems that Huang Baiming did not mean to disappear.

Raised his hand and looked at the Modu brand watch brought from China, at ten forty-five o'clock, it was about to be lunch time, Li Yadong decided to wait and see if he could make an appointment with Huang Baiming in person, otherwise the ghost knows if the next time he comes, will he be free?

He just stood outside the door and waited, and occasionally when an employee passed by, he would always look at him in surprise, but seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, and standing outside the boss's office, he couldn't guess what he was doing, and it was not easy to ask.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the office door was finally opened. However, the person who took the lead to come out of it was not Huang Baiming, but Zhou Yanfa.

What Li Yadong didn't expect was that Andy Lau was also there, following behind Zhou Yanfa. At this time, he also discovered Li Yadong.

"Dong Tsai?"

Li Yadong worked on the set of Clear Water Bay for a few days, and if he said that he got along with that star best, it would be Andy Lau.

After all, he is the leading actor, basically every day, and Li Yadong will call him to drink sugar water every day, and he will always talk a few words during the period, and the two of them can be regarded as having some friendship. Otherwise, Andy Lau categorically would not tell him his salary for filming "Jianghu Love". The reckless age
