Chapter 064: Just Come Yourself

"Li Sheng, the plot is roughly like this, this is the script, you can take a look at it in detail!"

Du Qifeng was obviously a little nervous when he was a director for the first time, and he stumbled in front of Li Xuan, a potential investor. It took him a while to finally give Li Xuan a brief introduction to the story outline of the movie.

This is a martial arts suspense film about a wandering swordsman named Lu Tianjun, who was robbed on the way to escort gold, and then struggled to find the gold.

In fact, Li Xuan was not very optimistic about this movie in his heart, listening to Du Qifeng's introduction just now did not make his eyes shine, and he searched the memories of his previous life in his mind, and he did not have any impression of this movie.

In his previous life, Li Xuan saw the first Honggu movie was "Five Lucky Stars", when he was just in junior high school, he just thought that the heroine in it was so beautiful. He really remembered Honggu when he watched the red beans she played in "Across the Seas".

After that, Li Xuan watched most of Zhong Chuhong's movies, and he remembered that Honggu's famous work was "The Story of Hu Yue" directed by Xu Anhua in 1981. Therefore, Li Xuan can almost conclude that before she took over "The Story of Hu Yue", the earlier "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" must have hit the street.

Li Xuan was not interested in reading the script, he said bluntly: "Du Sheng, this is a typical martial arts film, and the heroine in the film, You Peipei, is not heavy. I want Ah Hong to play this role, as her entry into the industry! If you can accept this article, and modify the ending of You Peipei, so that you can finally become a family, I can invest 200,000!"

Li Xuan was not very satisfied with the ending of You Peipei being killed by wiping his neck in the play, so he simply asked To Qifeng to revise the storyline. If Du Qifeng can agree to these two items, he will invest the 200,000 yuan, regardless of whether the movie hits the street or not, he should let Zhong Chuhong hone his acting skills. If the other party refuses to agree, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to open a film company by yourself in the future and tailor a script for your girlfriend, being rich is so capricious!

Li Xuan saw that Du Qifeng was a little embarrassed, so he smiled disapprerovitously and said, "Du Sheng doesn't have to answer me immediately, you can go back and think about it carefully before making a decision!"

Li Xuan took out his wallet, took out a few business cards from it, and handed one to each of them. The printing on the business card is very simple, without any title, only the words "Li Xuan of Dongfang Electronic Technology Company" are printed, and below is the phone number of his office.

The simpler it is, the more it gives people a feeling of being deeply hidden, Zeng Zhiwei and others only heard Li Xuan introduce themselves as students of CUHK, and now there is an Oriental Electronics Company, although they can't guess his identity, but they all solemnly put away their business cards.

"Ah Xuan, why don't you put some money in me with this big water pipe, and let me open a movie too? My last movie "Kicking the Hall" was released for ten days, and the box office was 1.85 million!" Zeng Zhiwei rolled his eyes and said with a half-truth smile.

"It's not impossible to invest money, but you have no basis for what you say, at least you have to get a script for me first!"

Hong Kong movies are about to enter the most glorious 80s, and Li Xuan remembers that in his previous life, he often went to his classmates' houses to watch pirated VCDs of Hong Kong films when he was a child. Although the production of Hong Kong films is mostly very crude compared to Hollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong-style comedy still leaves an indelible impression on his childhood memories.

He swept around, saw Zhong Zhentao, Chen Baixiang and Wang Jing, and suddenly remembered that Zhong Chuhong seemed to have collaborated with several of them in a movie, called "The Frog Prince". That film is a small-budget romantic comedy written and directed by Wang Jing, but the box office is very good, and even entered the top ten of the total box office of the year.

"I had an idea that we could make a low-budget romantic comedy. The rich and handsome male protagonist is shy by nature, and in order to chase the girl, he specially asked his cousin, who was poor and frustrated, but had countless sisters!" Li Xuan stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhong Zhentao and Zeng Zhiwei, signaling that the two cousins could be starred by these two people, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Li Xuan continued to describe his idea: "In order to teach my cousin the tricks of the younger sister, my cousin specially took him to a high-end Western restaurant for dinner. The two saw a beautiful popular female star in the restaurant. So my cousin instigated my cousin to soak this female star, but in fact, he secretly pursued it. The cousin was forced to bite the bullet, but in fact, he had a crush on a waitress in the restaurant. So the four of them staged a funny story, and in the end, the two couples finally became married, and they all walked together!"

The plot of "The Frog Prince" Li Xuan has long been blurred, saying that he is talking about it and putting on part of the plot of "Chasing Girls", then this movie is starring Zeng Zhiwei, and Li Xuan still has a little impression.

"The handsome ones can't catch up with the girls, but the long ones are constantly frustrated, I think this contrast and contrast itself is quite comic. On the surface, my cousin is helping my cousin to make a star, but in private, he is secretly demolishing the stage and creating opportunities for himself. My cousin was instigated by my cousin to make a female star, but in fact, I found something else in my heart, and such a complicated four-cornered love can create a lot of jokes!"

Li Xuan's creativity attracted Wang Jing and Zeng Zhiwei's eyes to shine suddenly, both of them have been screenwriters, just listening to Li Xuan's description, I feel that this movie is very interesting.

Especially Wang Jing, when he was in college, he joined TVB as a summer job, and his first job was to write jokes for "Happy Tonight". After listening to Li Xuan's story, he already had a lot of good funny episodes in his mind.

"Li Sheng, your story is very well conceived, why don't you just sell me and I'll hand it over to the Shaw Brothers to shoot!" Wang Jing said first.

"Okay, you are a little bit of a king, you only gave you 20,000 yuan for making a movie, as for working so hard for it?" Zeng Zhiwei immediately quit, "Ah Xuan is a big water pipe, will he be short of money?" This idea is better left to me, I will find someone to make the script within a week, and I think Ah Hong is very suitable for playing the waitress in the story!"

Zeng Zhiwei is really more sophisticated than Wang Jing, and he can better figure out Li Xuan's intentions. But Li Xuan prefers to hand over the work of screenwriter to Wang Jing, although his movies are satirized by many people as a comedy of, urine and feces, and the laughter is relatively vulgar.

But from another point of view, this is not a down-to-earth expression, it is close to the market life of Hong Kong's low-level citizens, this Wang's comedy can win one miracle after another with a small cost and high box office.

"Otherwise, Brother Wang is in charge of the script, and since your director has signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, you can be the producer of this movie, and Brother Zeng can direct and act by himself. We partner to open our own company, as long as the script is passable, I can sign a check for one million at any time for investment!" Li Xuan said in a decisive tone.

After this meal, everyone's minds were no longer on the meal, and Du Qifeng was in a hurry to go back and discuss with Liu Songren the conditions proposed by Li Xuan. Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Jing were even more prepared to conceive the script overnight, Zhong Zhentao was happy to pick up the opportunity to lead a movie in vain, but Chen Baixiang and Tan Yonglin had nothing to do with themselves and were relatively calm.
