Appearance:

After getting Zhou Runfa and Di Long, the two leading actors of "The True Color of Heroes" have been done, and now there is only one Zhang Guorong left among the three leading actors, followed by director Wu Yusen.

If it is not necessary, Wu Yusen is not ready to be replaced in the summer. Because although Wu Baige was not guaranteed in his later years and received many criticisms, he is still one of the most talented directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Especially when making gunfight hero films, no director in Hong Kong is as ecstatic as him. Master of Violent Aesthetics, this title is not for nothing.

And although Wu Yusen filmed "The Wind Whisperer", MGM Pictures lost hundreds of millions of dollars, causing the film giant to go bankrupt. But in fact, Wu Yusen has also made many blockbuster movies in Hollywood. For example, "Broken Arrow", "Changing Face", "Mission Impossible 2" and so on. In the summer, I will go to Hollywood to develop, and I am counting on Wu Baige to help me make a few blockbuster films.

Besides, Wu Yusen is not difficult to find now, he is almost kicked out of the door by Xinyicheng now. The "Laughing Craftsman" he filmed last year had a box office of less than one million Hong Kong dollars, and it was hurriedly painted within seven days of release, which made Xinyicheng lose face. It is said that if it weren't for Xu Kelibao, Wu Yusen would have been fired at that time.

Even so, his current situation is not good, but he is just surviving. If summer extends an olive branch to him at this time, promise that he will agree to come down without even thinking about it.

……

The day after the celebration banquet, Xia wrote several scripts one after another. Two of them are for Hong Kyung-bo, namely "Zombie Rebirth" and "Thunderbolt Trumpet".

"Zombie Rebirth" is a follow-up film of "Mr. Zombie", which was invested and filmed by a Taiwanese film company in its previous life. The "zombie fever" caused by "Mr. Zombie" sold more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Taiwanese filmmakers who have tasted the sweetness have since started a boom in large-scale Hong Kong films, and almost every hot-selling Hong Kong film has been filmed by Taiwanese filmmakers.

This copycat phenomenon eventually led to the drying up of innovation in Hong Kong-made films. Because copycats are always more time-saving, labor-saving and worry-free than innovation, but the benefits are no worse than innovation. After a long time, people have gone to follow the trend of copycats. Who is willing to innovate again!

Although the story of "Zombie Rebirth" is not very exciting, it is much better than the average brainless zombie film. If you shoot carefully, it is not difficult to exceed 15 million at the box office.

"Thunderbolt Horn" is an urban action movie co-starred by Hong Jingbao, Zhang Xueyou, and Wang Zhengxian. Plus the face of the beauty queen Ji Xian. made the box office of this drama easily exceed 15 million.

After writing two scripts for Hong Jingbao, he wrote the scripts of "The True Color of Heroes", "Overlord Flower" and "Detective Chocolate" in the summer.

In "The True Color of Heroes", Summer foreshadowed and added a line, revealing that Brother Pony is twins and has a younger brother in the United States, so that it will be used in the future sequel.

Because in the previous life, when "The True Color of Heroes" was filmed, no one expected it to be so popular, so at the end, Zhou Yunfa was shot in the head.

As a result, Zhou Runfa's little brother Ma is so brilliant. made several giants of Xinyicheng annoyed that he died, and he was still beaten into a honeycomb, and he couldn't be saved no matter what.

So when the sequel was filmed later, I had to let Xiao Ma reappear as a twin brother. However, this identity is too far-fetched and makes people feel very inconsistent.

Now that I will write "The True Color of Heroes" in the summer, of course, I will fill this loophole.

And the script of "Overlord Flower", in the summer, directly copied the first script of "Royal Senior Sister".

Because although "Overlord Flower" in her previous life was nominally starring Hu Huizhong, she was actually just a supporting role. The real protagonist is Wu Junru. And that series of movies is actually just a farce, the purpose is to praise several male and female stars under Weihe.

Summer is now in order to make her own woman popular. Of course, I won't write that kind of script again. He directly borrowed Pan Disheng's "Royal Senior Sister" from Yang Ziqiong.

In that series of movies, Yang Ziqiong is a well-deserved heroine. And it is her life-fighting performance that makes her the most popular action actress in Hong Kong, with a salary of up to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, making her the most valuable female movie star. And she also successfully entered Hollywood with her wonderful performance. Become an internationally renowned actress.

In the summer, I want to praise Hu Huizhong now, so I naturally borrowed her experience.

……

After writing the script, Xia first gave the two scripts to Hong Kyung-bo, and then replaced Lin Zhengying.

"Ah Tian, your two scripts are good. Thanks. After reading it, Hong Jingbao nodded with a smile and said, "A-Ying will follow you in the future, take good care of him." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Hong, I will definitely not treat my brothers badly. Summer nodded and smiled.

"That's for the best. Hong Jingbao said with a smile, and then said to Lin Zhengying, "A-Ying, go over there and work hard, don't lose the face of our Hong family." Remember, if you're not used to it, come back at any time. ”

When Lin Zhengying saw Hong Jingbao say this, she couldn't help but be moved to tears.

"Okay, don't be sad, we're all filming in Hong Kong, and we'll see you when you look up. It's not the end of the world, forever separated by one side. Summer smiled and persuaded.

Ah Tian also has a point. Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying both laughed again.

"By the way, Brother Hong, I'm going to shoot an action scene recently, can you let me borrow someone?" Xia asked with a smile.

"You've calculated me, okay, who do you want?" Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"You can lend Brother Dan to me. Summer said with a smile.

Yuan Kui, known as Brother Dan, one of the Seven Little Blessings, although he is now in the Hong family's class, he has actually been self-reliant very early. In eighty-one years, he served as a director, and made the blockbuster movie "Dragon Ninja" with Wu Siyuan, and even went to Hollywood to shoot "The Game of Blood" with Shange Winton.

Xia knows that this is a capable person, a martial arts instructor, director, and actor, and has directed many blockbuster movies, such as "The Saint of Gambling", "Fang Shiyu", "Royal Female General", "Jiuyi Condor Heroes" and so on. He even collaborated with the well-known French director Luc Besson in "Very Human Traffickers", "Deadly Romeo" and so on, and successfully made a name for himself in Hollywood.

borrowed Yuan Kui in the summer to ask him to help shoot "Overlord Flower".

The action movies directed by Yuan Kui can be called first-class, and he cooperated with Li Lianjie back then, and really made a lot of good films. For example, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", "Letter to Dad", "Rat Guts" and so on. In the summer, I believe that he will shoot "Overlord Flower" very well.

"Okay, but not like last time. Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, you borrowed it from me and didn't look back. Hong Jingbao smiled again.

He also knows that his junior brother Yuankui is a handsome talent, and he can act and direct martial arts, which can be called a great use, which is not as good as Lin Zhengying. Hong Kyung-bo lost Lin Zhengying, and at most he only lost one actor. It won't hurt your muscles and bones. But if Yuan Kui is dug up in the summer, it will be a great loss for him.

"Don't worry, Brother Hong, I will give you face, and I will not take the initiative to poach. Summer nodded, and said with a smile in his heart, "If he takes the initiative to take refuge, then I'm welcome." ”

Yuan Kui is so powerful, of course he covets three points in the summer. wants to include him in his own world film industry.

……

After meeting Hong Jingbao, he came to Xu's Pictures Company in the summer.

Hui's Pictures is also located on Golden Harvest Studios, as it was also funded by Golden Harvest.

When he met Xu Guanwen, he was shocked by the speed of summer.

"In one night, Mr. Xia, did you finish writing the script?" he asked in surprise, it was really fast enough.

Summer smiled, if he knew that he had written five scripts, he wouldn't know how much more surprised.

"Mr. Xu, let's take a look at it first. If we are satisfied, let's talk about cooperation. Summer said with a smile.

Xu Guanwen nodded. Take a serious look at this script.

"Detective Chocolate" tells the story of Inspector Chocolate who is tasked with finding a missing child, and at the same time, the sheriff puts his beloved daughter in his care and makes sure that she is not harmed in any way. And the sheriff's daughter is actually a little thirteen, frizzy and impulsive, and reckless.

So the detective and his new subordinate bumped into each other, making countless jokes. But in the end, the child was found. Inspector Chocolate was also successfully promoted, and the happy ending.

The difference between this drama is that it lacks the usual ghost and funny of Xu's movies, and adds a strong mother-son relationship. makes the whole play warm and touching, of course, there are fewer jokes. It is all supported by the acting skills of the actors.

After Xu Guanwen finished reading it, he nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Xu, I think this script is not bad." ”

Seeing that he was satisfied, Xia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Mr. Xu agreed to act?"

"Yes. Xu Guanwen nodded, "I'm interested in starring in this play." ”

Summer smiled slightly, knowing that it was time to negotiate conditions.

Xu Guanwen has won the annual box office champion for five years, and is also known as the "cold-faced laugher" and "the king of ghost horse comedy", so the salary is very high. The director and starring actor will be paid about 3 million Hong Kong dollars, otherwise he will not be touched at all.

"Mr. Xu, the director and starring, the salary is three million, how about it?" he asked tentatively.

Xu Guanwen nodded, there was no bargaining link. In fact, his current salary is very high, the leading actor and director are almost 3.5 million, and if he is also a producer, the salary will reach 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

In his previous life, Pan Disheng had just taken over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and in order to make Debao famous, he specially spent 15 million Hong Kong dollars and asked Xu Guanwen to help shoot three films. It can be seen that his value is high.

However, Xu Guanwen really likes this script in the summer, especially the Inspector Chocolate he wrote, although he is mean and likes to hurt people, he is very kind-hearted, which is his favorite character.

"Then it's decided. Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Summer immediately smiled happily. (To be continued.) )
