After talking to the Xiang brothers, he went to Jiahe to find Hong Jingbao in the summer to discuss the matter of borrowing.

"Ah Tian, you are really good, the box office of the first movie exceeded more than 20 million, which is really amazing. As soon as they met, Hong Jingbao said with a smile, very affectionate.

"Thank you, Brother Hong. Summer smiled slightly and said modestly, "Actually, it's everyone's efforts, and I'm just lucky." ”

"Luck is also part of strength, otherwise why are so many movies not popular, but your movie is popular. Hong Jingbao smiled, "By the way, if you don't come, I'll look for you." Our "Lucky Stars" will have its midnight premiere the day after tomorrow, so remember to come and cheer when the time comes. ”

"Oh, so it's about to be released?" said Summer's eyes, "Okay, no problem, I'll definitely be there when the time comes." ”

"Okay, that's settled. By the way, you came to me today, is there something wrong?" Hong Jingbao asked with a smile again, "You are a popular fried chicken now, and those reporters alone have made you very troubled, there must be something wrong with you when you can take the time to come, right?"

Xia smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm here today to ask Brother Hong to borrow someone." ”

"Borrowing someone?!" Hong Jingbao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, except for me and Yuan Biao, you can borrow as many people as you can from the Hong family's class, no problem." Just say who you want to borrow. ”

Summer knows that Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao are now the pillars of Golden Harvest and the guarantee of the box office. Jiahe regards it as a treasure, and it is easy not to borrow it, even the Xiang brothers do not have such a big face, and of course it is not good in summer.

"I want to borrow Lin Zhengying, I want to ask him to be the leading actor. "Summer straight to the point.

"Who?!" Hong Jingbao was stunned, and his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.

Hong Jingbao originally thought that he would borrow famous actors such as Menghai, Zeng Zhiwei, and Wuma in the summer, but he didn't expect that he borrowed Lin Zhengying, or let him be the leading actor, which was really unexpected by himself.

Lin Zhengying is not the most popular person in the Hong family class. Although Hong Jingbao wanted to carry him. But he is a little old, he looks ordinary, and his acting skills are only average, so he is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old now, and he has not played the leading role, and he has always been a green role.

"Lin Zhengying. Summer repeated. "I want to ask him to be the leading actor. ”

Hong Jingbao blinked, finally knowing that he had heard correctly, although he was still a little confused in his heart, he still nodded, "Okay, then I'll call him over." ”

A moment later, Lin Zhengying arrived, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. One inquiry. I realized that he was practicing in the basement just now.

Being a Dragon and Tiger Martial artist is not easy, and you need to exercise regularly to be able to maintain your agility. Otherwise, if you don't practice for three days, as soon as your kung fu regresses, the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts will not be able to do it.

Besides, there are so many dragon and tiger martial artists in Hong Kong, and the pressure of competition is also very high. If you want to be famous, you must have your own unique skills. It's a signature move that no one else can do. For example, Zhen Zidan's volley three-legged, Lu Huiguang's one-word horse. Benny Juquidez's turn and kick in the air, etc.

"A-Ying, congratulations, your chance has come. Hong Jingbao pointed at Xia and said, "Ah Tian, you should know him, he has a male protagonist looking for you to play, you can talk to him." ”

Lin Zhengying was stunned. glanced at Summer with a surprised expression.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that he would be the leading actor one day. After all, he is in his thirties this year, and his appearance is average, neither ugly nor handsome. Neither can take the comedian route nor the idol route. Originally, I thought that I would be a martial artist for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that someone would find me to play the leading role now, is this an old tree sprouting? !

"Mr. Xia, is this true?" he asked with some excitement, although his temperament has always been calm, but at this moment, his mood can't help but be a little agitated.

"Of course it's true. Xia nodded and smiled, "Brother Ying, I won't make such a joke with you." ”

"Ah Tian, what kind of scene are you looking for Ah Ying to film?" Hong Jingbao also asked curiously, to be honest, he really wondered what Lin Zhengying could do as the leading actor in a movie.

"It's a zombie movie. Xia smiled and said, "I also brought the script, Brother Ying, you can take a look at it first, if you think it's good, then let's settle it today." ”

"There's a new script, I'll take a look. Hong Jingbao also stretched out his hand, and then watched it with Lin Zhengying.

After a few moments, both finished reading the script.

Hong Jingbao glanced at Xia Xia and said with a smile, "Ah Tian, you are really not interesting, you have such a good script." ”

Summer smiled a little unexpectedly. He remembered listening to gossip and old news in his previous life, as if Hong Jingbao was not optimistic about the drama "Mr. Zombie", saying that it had a box office of at most six million, and the company was bound to lose money. At that time, director Liu Guanwei was scared half to death, thinking that his directorial career was over. Why is he optimistic about this script now, but it is very inconsistent with the rumors.

"If Brother Hong likes it, I'll go back and help you write another one. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Then it's a foregone conclusion. Hong Jingbao smiled, "I am very confident in Ah Tian's script, and if there is a new script in the future, I will also bring it to me." ”

Summer smiled slightly, no wonder Hong Jingbao changed his attitude towards "Mr. Zombie", it turned out to be because of himself. That's right, "Mr. Zombie" in the previous life was written by Huang Ying, and Huang Ying has no status in the Hong Kong film industry, just a poor screenwriter. He wrote the script, and Hong Jingbao certainly didn't have confidence.

But summer is different, he has just achieved a box office of more than 20 million, and the previous "Lucky Star Shines", "Flying Dragon General", "Dragon's Heart", "Police Story" and so on are all very good. Hong Jingbao is preconceived and is naturally optimistic about the script of "Mr. Zombie".

"Brother Ying, what do you think, there is no problem with the script, right?" Xia asked Lin Zhengying with a smile.

Lin Zhengying shook his head and said concisely, "No problem." ”

After reading the script, he also knew that it was a good script, and he was also a real actor, which really made him very happy.

However, he has always been a taciturn person and is not good at expressing himself, so even if he is excited, he will not say much, but he has made up his mind that he must act well and not live up to the support of the summer.

"Okay, in terms of salary, I don't know how much Brother Ying plans to get?" Xia asked again. He didn't know about Lin Zhengying's previous salary, but the budget was set at 200,000 to 300,000. As long as he is in this range, he can be satisfied.

"Ah Tian, you are so promoting Ah Ying, the salary is easy to discuss. In this way, I will help him make the decision, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, what do you think?" asked Hong Jingbao. This price is Lin Zhengying's salary for Hong Jingbao to film, and if it is loaned, it will almost double.

Xia smiled, and borrowed 100,000 Hong Kong dollars from Lin Zhengying, which was really unexpected, and he immediately agreed, "Okay, if it is a big hit at the box office, I will follow the example of the Xiang brothers and seal a red envelope of 200,000 yuan to Brother Ying." ”

"Okay, that's settled. Hong Jingbao said with a smile, and then said to Lin Zhengying, "A-Ying, you can earn it this time, A-Tian's drama will definitely be a hit." ”

Lin Zhengying was also very happy, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your support." ”

"You're welcome, Brother Ying. Summer laughed.

"By the way, do you want other martial artists? I see that you have a lot of fighting scenes in this play, do you want me to lend you a few more people?" Hong Jingbao said again.

"Thank you Brother Hong for your kindness, but on the martial arts side, I have already greeted the master, and he has a few people to recommend to me. Summer waved his hand.

Tang Jia also has a lot of dragon and tiger martial artists in his hands now, but he can only run tricks in TVB, although there are TV dramas filmed every day, but the salary is far worse than making movies. So when he heard that he was going to borrow someone in the summer, Tang Jia immediately agreed.

"Forget it. Hong Jingbao smiled, "I'll talk about it when you hire people." ”

……

After setting the protagonist Lin Zhengying, Lou Nanguang's supporting role did not bother, and he borrowed it directly from Hong Jingbao.

Later, in the summer, he went to Xu's Film Company and met with the manager, Mr. Xu Guanwen, to discuss the matter of borrowing Xu Guanying.

originally thought that Xu Guanying was the most difficult actor to handle, but I didn't expect it to be done for the first time in the summer. The salary is only 300,000, which makes him overjoyed.

Later, I learned that Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki", which took three years to create, was released last year, which was his brainchild, but the box office was not too high, only more than 19 million, and it also caused a lot of bad reviews.

Hit hard, he decided to put filming on hold and wait until he had his pulse on the pulse of the public before making a new film. In order to prevent his younger brother from starving to death with him, Xu Guanwen was also willing to let him out and no longer restrain him like before.

After knowing the ins and outs of this, Summer couldn't help but be in awe of Xu Guanwen.

You must know that with his current name, even if he makes some bad movies indiscriminately, there is no shortage of audiences, and he can still make a lot of money. But he doesn't have a good script or good creation, so he would rather not film, and this kind of meticulous spirit of art is really worth learning from many filmmakers.

……

After getting Xu Guanying, he went to find Zhong Chuhong non-stop in the summer, but he didn't expect to run into a nail here.

"Ah Tian, I'm sorry, I really want to help you, but there is no way, the company just helped me take on a new play, and I really don't have a schedule now. Zhong Chuhong said to Xia with an apologetic face.

"There's no way around it, only next time we can work together. "Summer is not without regrets. Zhong Chuhong is the best candidate to play the female ghost, and her inability to participate makes him feel very hurt.

couldn't borrow Zhong Chuhong, so I had to go to Xia Wenxi again in the summer.

"Yo, why did you remember to call me, little director?" Xia Wenxi immediately laughed after receiving Xia's call. Hearing her charming voice suddenly made Summer's heart flutter. (To be continued.) )
