Chapter 140 Heart-to-heart
Peng Yichen looked at Zhang Guorong with a serious expression.
It wasn't until he confirmed that the other party could see that he was serious and looked at him very seriously that he spoke.
"Friends are important in knowing each other. Although I just met Brother Rong, it is not easy to talk deeply. But there is one sentence, I still want to persuade Brother Rong. Life has its own choices, and your choices may not be wrong, but many people will never understand. ”
Zhang Guorong heard his words, until the meaning of his words, but he was not angry, but fell into deep thought.
Peng Yichen saw that Zhang Guorong listened to his words, and hurriedly continued to persuade.
"Heungjiang is a good place, but it's too small. I know that Brother Yung, like me, is a person who loves movies very much. Instead of staying in Xiangjiang all the time and listening to all kinds of gossip in this narrow city every day, it is better to live in the mainland for a period of time, and make movies and do charity by the way. Wouldn't life be more meaningful? ”
Seeing that Zhang Guorong had some intentions, Peng Yichen continued: "Although there will be a lot of criticism in the mainland, the space and market there are much larger. With so many new people popping up every year, the media doesn't keep their eyes on one or two people every day. Isn't it much easier for you? The most important thing is that you still have a lot of fans there who support you, even more than Xiangjiang who supports you. ”
Zhang Guorong was moved by Peng Yichen's last words, and looked at the sincerity and concern in his eyes, and his heart warmed.
He usually interacts with people, except for a few friends such as Anita Mui, few people put themselves in their shoes like this.
Today and Peng Yichen are just meeting for the first time, but the other party can put his heart to himself, Zhang Guorong has regarded Peng Yichen as a real friend in his heart.
"Chen Zai's suggestion is very good, Ah Rong, you can think about it. Zeng Zhiwei on the side heard the conversation between the two and agreed with Peng Yichen's suggestion.
Zhang Guorong nodded and said with a smile: "I'll deal with the affairs of Xiangjiang." After the New Year, I will go to the mainland to have a look. Chen Tsai, you can be my guide when the time comes, and take me to choose a good place to settle down. ”
Peng Yichen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Zhang Guorong agree with his opinion so happily, "Haha, of course it's no problem, there must be a place that Brother Rong likes when he hears the splendid landscapes of China." ”
They chatted more and more happily here, but Fang Long interjected over there: "Haha, Chen Zai, you still have a set, I have always persuaded Ah Rong to go out and relax, but he is unwilling to leave." As soon as you said it today, I didn't expect Ah Rong to agree. ”
Peng Yichen smiled and said nothing, Zhang Guorong explained: "Brother Long asked me to go out for a walk, how dare I be disobedient, it's just that many people and things in Xiangjiang are constantly cut." So I just haven't made up my mind. As soon as Chen Zai said it today, I just figured out that life is so short, and I haven't even seen the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Why bother with this. ”
Andy Lau said with a smile: "That's right, in the past few years, I have often worked in the mainland, and people's moods and minds have become different. It's always a good thing to get out and walk more. ”
……
After a few people were full of wine and food, Fang Long asked the waiter to remove the tableware and bring tea and snacks. Only then did he look at everyone and smile: "I brought everyone together today just to make a movie." ”
Fang Long saw that everyone's attention was on him, and said again: "In the past two years, the film market in Xiangjiang has been very deserted, although everyone knows that this is the trend of the times, in the future, Xiangjiang filmmakers will still have to go north to enter the mainland market in order to survive." But even if we enter the mainland in the future and open up the situation, the Hong Kong Film Market cannot be completely abandoned. Therefore, I propose that everyone work together to make a Chinese New Year film, not to make much box office, but to at least boost the morale and confidence of Hong Kong filmmakers. ”
Andy Lau said with a smile: "I agree, it's okay to pay for people, but do you still have to determine the script and director?"
Zeng Zhiwei squinted his small eyes and said with a smile: "We have a big talent here, do we still need to worry about the script?"
Zhang Guorong didn't know much about the showbiz in the past two years, he looked at Zeng Zhiwei suspiciously, and asked: "Are any of us here good at writing scripts?"
Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Haha, Nuo, don't you just sit next to you? Last time we chatted, didn't you still praise that "Twelve Warriors" is wonderful enough? The screenwriter and director of that movie is Chen Zai. ”
Zhang Guorong really likes "Twelve Warriors" very much, but he didn't take a serious look at the cast and crew at that time.
In the past two years, he has been afraid of entertainment media, and he doesn't read entertainment newspapers and magazines on weekdays.
So until now, he knew that Peng Yichen was the director and screenwriter of "Twelve Warriors".
He laughed and hammered Peng Yichen on the shoulder twice, "I didn't expect that the best movie I saw this year was made by you." You're so powerful, Chenzai, why didn't I be so powerful when I was your age. ”
Once Zhang Guorong regards a person as a friend, then he will devote himself wholeheartedly to his friend, and his friend has achieved results, and he is happier than his own success.
Peng Yichen said modestly: "Zhi viagra has won the award, where am I considered a talent, but I often like to think about some things in my head, and I finally wrote a script." ”
Before Zeng Zhiwei could reply, Fang Long smiled and said: "Chen Zai, you don't have to be modest, if you just make a Xiangjiang movie, we naturally have no shortage of screenwriters, but your understanding of the mainland film market is much stronger than our screenwriters in Xiangjiang, so you must join us in this movie this time." ”
Several others nodded in agreement.
Zhang Guorong suddenly thought of something: "Chen Zai, you just said that you want me to appear in this movie, that is, there is a role that I am suitable for." So you've got your script ready?"
When the others heard this, they all set their eyes on Peng Yichen.
Fang Long was even more surprised: "These days, you are filming in the crew. With such a lot of work, can you still write the script at the same time?"
Peng Yichen replied with a smile: "Actually, I already had an idea in my heart, and as soon as Brother Long told me that day, I wrote this idea out, so it didn't take too long." ”
Peng Yichen didn't think about it in his heart, but remembered his favorite Hong Kong New Year movie when he was a child in his previous life.
And in this Chinese New Year film, his brother Leslie Cheung happened to play an important role.
At the beginning, Peng Yichen still had a headache, where could he find an actor similar to his brother to replace him.
Unexpectedly, at today's meal, I found out that my brother in this life had not passed away.
He was immediately overjoyed and invited his brother to star in this movie.
I didn't expect my brother to be so sensitive, and immediately thought that his movie script must have been written.
Looking at several people looking at him with expectant eyes, Peng Yichen had no choice but to tell the plot of the script he had prepared with a wry smile.
After listening to it, everyone felt that this script was very good, not only promoting traditional Chinese culture, but also perfectly fitting the atmosphere of the New Year.
Sure enough, he is "a man who is famous and famous", and Peng Yichen's talent in movies is indeed beyond ordinary people.
Fang Long immediately made a decision, "Okay, this script is good." This time, we gathered all the big and small stars in Hong Kong to make a popular Chinese New Year film, which will definitely boost the morale of Hong Kong filmmakers. In this way, the shooting cost of this movie should not be high, and I bear it all by myself. We don't want any profits from the release of the film, and donate all of them to our newly established 'Heung Kong Film and Television Workers Association' as a fund to help Hong Kong film and television workers solve their difficulties. ”
Andy Lau said with a smile: "I agree, then I will bear all the publicity channels and costs of this movie." ”
Zeng Zhiwei also said magnificently, "Okay, I organize all the actors in Xiangjiang, as long as the movie needs it, everyone will be willing to appear and make cameos." The red envelopes and hardship fees of these actors, I have wrapped. ”
Zhang Guorong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Chen Zai has invited me to star, so I won't refuse, this movie will be my work again." But there is one point, Chen Tsai is not our filmmaker in Xiangjiang. Not to mention that people have to play a role, they have to play a role, so they have to give people a little hard work. ”
Fang Long laughed and said: "I have considered this for a long time, and we co-produced this movie with Chen Zai's studio." After the release in the mainland, he divided 7% of the box office income in the mainland, and the remaining 3% was still donated to the association's fund. ”
Peng Yichen thought for a while, "Okay, since Brother Long has arranged it, I won't say more." With this 70% of the mainland box office revenue, my studio not only earns back the cost of publicity and distribution, but also sets up a 'film and television industry behind-the-scenes workers support fund' in the mainland to help behind-the-scenes workers in the mainland solve practical difficulties. ”
Everyone listened to his words, and they all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts, so young that he could not be entangled in personal interests and actively work hard for the development of Chinese films.
It is really a blessing that the Chinese film and television industry has such a handsome talent.
A few people chatted for a while, and decided on the filming of the movie. Everyone was separated.
Zhang Guorong pulled Peng Yichen before leaving, leaving him his contact information. Give him time to go to his own house to play.
Peng Yichen saved Zhang Guorong's phone, his heart moved, and asked tentatively: "I like Mei Yanfang very much, Sister Fang's movies and songs, but I haven't seen her come out in the past two years." ”
Seeing Zhang Guorong's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Peng Yichen felt that he had asked the right question.
In this life, not only Zhang Guorong has not passed away, but even Mei Yanfang seems to be still there.
Peng Yichen just used his mobile phone to search for news about Mei Yanfang, but found that she was reported to be sick in 2004, and has almost retired since then, and there is no exact report of her.
Peng Yichen knew that Zhang Guorong and her were inextricably linked, so he suddenly asked.
He knew that this fateful Sister Fang might have been suffering from cancer, and now he was a master of national art at the peak of his strength, and the master of national art was often also a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Because the master of national art knows more about the human body than most wise doctors. And he had the experience of treating Shen Xue for cancer in "One Person, Martial Arts".
So he wanted to see if he could cure Anita Mui's cancer.
