Chapter 513: Beating people again

The movie "God of Gamblers", even if you watch it again after 30 years, it still feels very classic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The charm of classic movies is here, and time cannot be erased.

But that was only shot at the time, and it looks classic now. Filming a movie from 30 years ago at the current point in time would seem nondescript, and the set alone would have to take a lot of effort and effort in all aspects.

After gambling films arrived in the new century, they were not very popular, and with the afterglow of Hong Kong movies, they also became depressed.

The hottest gambling film in the new century should still be Wang Jing's "Macau Vice" series. The entire "Macau Vice" series fully reflects Wang Jing's huge connections in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, plus his temperament that does not hesitate to make bad movies in order to make money. It was commercially successful enough and had a high box office, but that's about it.

There are a lot of big names, so the box office is guaranteed. The film is bad, and the audience can bear it, so they rushed to see Fa Ge, Andy, Nicholas and others, and it was worth the ticket price. As for what the story tells, who cares?

It is impossible for Jiang Xia to take out "Macau Fengyun" and lose his character.

Comparing the image of the God of Gambling Gao Jin with the magic hand stone Yijian, anyone feels that these two images cannot be compared.

The script of "God of Gamblers" was in the late eighties, when the equipment was different, and there were computers, but it was still in the initial stage of use. Gao Jin's girlfriend Janet went to various places, not to take selfies, but to record them. Now if you shoot, you say take a tape recorder to record, how can a girl stand it, she must shoot back and forth.

So the script must be changed now, the question is how to change it, Jiang Xia can't think of perfection alone, and he is not good at this, which is why he has to drag six subordinate screenwriters.

How to revise it will have to wait for him to take out the script, and his task in the past two days is to cut out the script.

Being able to decide what to shoot so quickly is fast enough for Jiang Xia.

He's working on the script here, and the six screenwriters have already gathered together to talk about him.

Feng Bowen is only twenty years old at the youngest, and he is still a fan of Jiangxia, and all parties have expressed their support for Jiangxia. The attitude of the other five people towards Jiang Xia is not so fully supportive.

Liu Yun said: "What is Jiang Xia doing? Is this really treating us as subordinates?"

"Look at what he meant, that's really it. Qin Lan said, "I really don't know where the confidence comes from, just a guy who has just debuted for less than two years, and he has not yet had a successful experience in movies, so he commanded us?"

Xia Yunjie said: "The key is still a gambling film, no one has ever made a gambling film, and no one knows how to shoot it." I really don't know where he came from to be so bold, and he dares to shoot this kind of banned film. ”

"He just signed into the company today, do you know the conditions for him to sign the contract?" Chu Yi asked, "The major shareholder of Gongshan Studio, how can this be the case when he signs into our company?"

"I don't know. Zhong Xinying said, "There is no news at all, we directly know it today like others." It seems that Mr. Cheng dug it up, and I don't know what the conditions are. Bowen, you are familiar with Jiang Xia, how is he?"

"Genius. Feng Bowen said, "Since his debut, he has not failed." Whether it's a novel, a song, a TV series, or even a digital movie, it never fails. ”

"So?" Qin Lan asked.

"I believe that the gambling film he proposed should also be successful. Feng Bowen fully showed his confidence in Jiangxia.

Chu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. If you want to talk about costume dramas, I also admit that his level is enough, but fashion dramas are really not good. If you look at all his current works, which ones are modern, not to mention the new themes. ”

"I'm not optimistic about him either, he just has too much appetite to be raised, and he really thinks he can do anything. Liu Yun also said. Obviously, Jiang Xia is not good-looking, and even Jiang Xia himself is not optimistic.

Zhong Xinying said: "I'm not optimistic about him either, Xingyuan Movie is a love movie, he has experience in shooting love MVs, and the shooting should be okay." But what is this thing? What is the market? I don't know at all, I'm not optimistic. ”

"He said he could write a script in two days, bragging, right?" Liu Yun shook her head.

Feng Bowen said: "No, you look at the speed at which he writes songs, and then look at the speed at which he writes novels, it is not impossible to write a movie script in two days." ”

"I'll see in two days. Qin Lan said.

"Well, look. The rest nodded.

Top floor, Cheng Xin's office.

Xue Yan said to Cheng Xin: "After Jiang Xia arrived, he had a meeting with several screenwriters. ”

"What did you talk about?" asked Cheng Xin.

Xue Yan said: "It seems that it is a high-pressure method to ask six screenwriters to help him improve the script." ”

"How do you know?" asked Cheng Xin.

"Feng Bowen said that he was the youngest, and after getting the news, he showed it to others. Xue Yan said.

"I see. also gave him less time, ten movies in five years, and he was also in a hurry. Cheng Xin said, "Has the place to eat been decided?"

"It's booked. Xue Yan said, "Six o'clock in the evening." ”

Cheng Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let me know when the time comes." ”

In the afternoon, at five o'clock, Hengying Company got off work.

Jiang Xia was still typing the script in the office, he didn't pay attention to the time, Cheng Xin was already waiting for him in the car downstairs, and he didn't see him come out after waiting for a long time.

Cheng Xin looked at the time, called Jiang Xia and said, "Come down, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Ahh ”

Jiang Xia received the call, and when he saw the time, he knew that he was off work, so he hurriedly agreed.

hurriedly went downstairs and drove the car, Cheng Xin was already waiting for him in front, and when he saw his car starting, he led the way directly in front.

Suddenly, Cheng Xin's car stopped in front, and then Cheng Xin got out of the car, went directly to Jiangxia's car, and sat up.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Xia asked in wonder.

"It's inconvenient to take them to eat. Cheng Xin said.

"You are such a rich man, can you really go out without bodyguards?" Jiang Xia asked again.

"Aren't you there?" asked Cheng Xin.

Jiang Xia glanced at her and said, "That's right, I can beat away one or two mallets." ”

Cheng Xin didn't speak.

The place where the two of them eat is a Western restaurant in Cheng Xinding, with a good view, you can see Victoria Harbour at night at a glance, the night is brilliantly lit, and the entire harbor is beautiful.

"Mr. Cheng, please. ”

As soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, someone was waiting for Cheng Xin and invited Cheng Xin to go inside.

Jiang Xia followed behind, and after sitting down, Cheng Xin introduced him: "This side is membership-based, relatively quiet, there are no miscellaneous people, and it is more authentic." ”

"As long as I can eat, I'm not a picky eater. Jiang Xia said with a smile. The restaurant is indeed deserted, and there are not many people in it.

Cheng Xin glanced at him and said, "It's not like you." ”

"The problem of picky eating has changed in Australia. Jiangxia said.

"It's difficult, isn't it?" Cheng Xin said.

"It's okay, I didn't feel it, the people inside are not bad. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Tell me about it. Cheng Xin said.

"There's nothing to talk about, you're not going to that place in your life, and it's not much fun to talk about it. Jiang Xia shook his head, obviously not wanting to talk about being in prison.

Cheng Xin didn't force him to speak, but changed the topic and said, "What are your plans for the movie?"

"The plan is there, and I'll tell you about it. Jiang Xia said, "It's not yet October, if the filming progress is fast enough, maybe a movie can be made in January." ”

"What about the quality?" asked Cheng Xin.

"I can guarantee the quality, but you have to give me actors, at least one actor, two quasi-actors. Jiang Xia said, "Otherwise, the quality is not guaranteed." ”

"One actor, two quasi-actors, just the name is there, it is worth 100 million at the box office, what is the cost of the movie you are preparing?

"It depends on the asking price of the actors. Jiangxia said.

"The company can digest it internally, the asking price is not so ruthless, and fifteen million can be won. Cheng Xin said.

"It's cheap. Jiang Xia shook his head.

"Oh?" Cheng Xin asked.

"When I filmed Lu Xiaofeng, the asking price from the movie channel was 20 million. Jiang Xia said, "Of course, that's a little more filmed, and it's a price for filming TV series." I made a wish to shoot the stars, and the price I made was 10 million. ”

"I think very highly of myself. Movies are not so expensive, and they are not even as good as making TV series. People in their own company can also have preferential prices, or participate in shares at a price. What are you going to shoot and how much does it cost?" asked Cheng Xin.

"Make a gambling film. "Jiang Xia Dao," a movie about gambling and Bo. ”

Cheng Xin frowned rarely: "No one seems to have filmed it." ”

"Nobody has ever filmed it, so we're going to be the first to eat crabs. In order to increase attention, you need to take a few box office guarantees. Jiang Xia didn't hide his thoughts, "The total cost can be controlled below 30 million." ”

"Thirty million, counting publicity, at least 20 million will be invested. With a total of 50 million, there must be a box office of nearly 300 million yuan, and a profit of nearly 400 million. Cheng Xin said, "Sure?"

"Nope. Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Any movie is made, it may hit the street." I can only guarantee as much as possible, and my target box office is 500 million. ”

"Ten movies are 5 billion, and one movie is 500 million. Cheng Xin said, "Okay, I agreed." You are short on time, and the company fully supports you. ”

"Thank you very much. Jiang Xia smiled, "Next year, I have a big plan." ”

"What big plan?" asked Cheng Xin.

"It's hard to say for the time being, it should be a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, but I haven't thought about what to shoot yet. Jiang Xia said with a deep gaze, "Let's take a look at my two movies this year, Xingyuan has not been released yet, and God of Gamblers has not yet been scripted, and the time is very tight." ”

"God of Gamblers, tell me about the script of God of Gamblers. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia didn't hide it, so he simply told Cheng Xin about "God of Gamblers".

"Sounds good. Cheng Xin said.

"Of course it's good, after all, I took it out. Jiang Xia smiled confidently.

"When did you become so talented? It doesn't look like you. Cheng Xin said.

"The prodigal son turned back. Jiang Xia could only give an explanation of these four words.

Cheng Xin looked at him and didn't speak, the food came up, and she concentrated on destroying the food.

Jiang Xia also lowered his head and began to eat.

Just as the two of them were eating, a surprised voice came: "Oh, Mr. Cheng, are you also eating here?"

Jiang Xia and Cheng Xin turned their heads together, and the person who spoke was a fat man, with a short figure, thinning hair, and he was not young, looking to be in his forties. The girl next to her was very young, and she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it in some magazine.

Cheng Xin glanced at him and ignored him directly, turned his head and continued to bow his head to eat, ignoring him directly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the fat man's face, and he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Yo, Mr. Cheng is making an appointment with a boyfriend?" This boyfriend looks a little familiar, it seems to be a duck from a nightclub, right? ”

Jiang Xia sighed and said, "I can't eat well." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took two steps and stood in front of the fat man, and said condescendingly: "Fat man, you hold on." ”

"Huh?"

The fat man didn't understand, and Jiang Xia kicked directly on the fat man's stomach. Directly kicked the fat man to the ground and hit the table.

This kick frightened the people around him, especially the fat man's female companion, who screamed in fright.

Jiang Xia stood next to her and yelled at her, "Shut up." ”

She immediately shut up, her hands over her mouth, and her eyes showed a look of fear.

The fat man was kicked to the ground, and he cursed and said, "Bastard, you ......"

Before he could finish scolding, Jiang Xia had already squatted down and slapped him in the mouth, so that he didn't finish the rest of the words, and then directly slapped seven or eight times, directly slapping his face and swelling his face.

"Fatty, don't eat so much when you go to the toilet in the future, you vomit it out. It's okay to disgust yourself, it's your fault to disgust others. Jiang Xia twisted the fat man's ears and said.

After speaking, Jiang Xia stood up and clapped his hands, and sat back in his seat directly.

The waiter was just about to come over, and he had already finished the fight here, and the speed was very fast, and he didn't give much reaction.

"Good skills. Cheng Xin said to Jiang Xia.

"I've practiced. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Well played. Cheng Xin said.

"Yes, hit someone, I'm a professional. Jiangxia said.

"You're going to make headlines again, though. Cheng Xin said.

"Oh?" Jiang Xia wondered.

"You are playing the well-known director Luo Chunhui in Hong Kong. Cheng Xin said.

"So what?" Jiang Xia said, "I even beat Ding Yiyi's agent, and I almost beat Ding Yiyi." ”

"Yes, you don't have to worry if you have a lot of debt. Cheng Xin said, "Fight and fight, if there is anything, I will help you settle it." ”

"I'm curious, where did he get the guts to beep with you here?" Jiang Xia wondered.

The two of them were talking here, as if nothing had happened, the fat man over there was beaten a little dizzy, his already fat face directly became a pig's head, and he couldn't speak clearly with a whimper, he glanced at Jiang Xia and Cheng Xin hatefully, pulled his female companion, and walked out directly, obviously he didn't have the face to stay here.

"Originally, it was someone from our company who behaved inappropriately, so I kicked him out. After that, he worked against us, and with our company's movies more than once. The movies he made did well at the box office, which was better than our company's previous ones. So when they met me, they have always been very arrogant. Cheng Xin explained.

"You don't use the theater to block him?" Jiang Xia wondered.

"It's not that low-grade. Cheng Xin said. (To be continued.) )
