After the signing meeting, the bigwigs from all parties found a restaurant for dinner!!

During the banquet, Xiang Huaqiang said: "President, does our movie have a script??" Then he looked to the left and said: "My son is also in the entertainment industry, what do you think of him." Shao Gong nodded after listening, "Very good seedling, as long as you exercise hard, you are definitely a potential actor." As for the script has already been written, and there is more than one, I think each of the four of us will spend 30 million Hong Kong dollars, a total of 120 million, of which 80 million will be used to invest in a big-budget film, and 40 million will be used to shoot a few small-budget films. ”

"Small cost??"

Lin Jianyue said: "What type??"

"Ghost films. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, although ghost movies were popular, but that was before, there have been no good works pouring into the market in recent years, and this genre has been sluggish.

Shaogong looked around and said with a smile: "I know that you may look down on the small-cost guys, and you are also worried about the genre of ghost movies, but do you think I, Ouyang Shaogong, will make a film that loses money? The first work I made in Taiwan was also a small-budget ghost film, and the large-cost production is not yet available." In fact, if a small-budget movie wants to succeed, one is to rely on the acting skills of the actors, the second is to rely on the script, and the third is to rely on publicity, as long as there is a good book and good actors, plus publicity, it is not impossible to succeed. And these 40 million is not a small-budget movie, it is the enabling funds of many films.

I used to watch movies through VCD, and many years ago, there were several Hong Kong ghost movies that lingered in my mind, whether they were zombie movies or ghost movies, they were all scary films. At that time, whether it was a script or an actor, Hong Kong ghost movies were really not covered.

Domestic Dream Airlines can't make ghost movies well, but in Hong Kong, my talent is almost overwhelmed. There are two series written by me at a small cost, one is called "Yin Yang Road", and the other is called "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", and there are currently four scripts in the "Yin Yang Road" series, and two in "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village". These six films are all low-cost, and there should be no problem with 40 million shots. Just produce a well-known star with a small budget, and other outdated stars or young actors will play it. ”

As he spoke, he said to Xiang Hua: "I will arrange him to the left." ”

"Well, that's up to the president. ”

Xiang Huaqiang nodded, he has always been optimistic about the box office miracle of Menghang's small-budget movies. Shao Gong continued: "As for our big production, I want to shoot "Chasing the Dragon", I believe you all know what it means to chase the dragon!"

"Naturally!!"

Everyone smoked cigarettes and nodded.

"Before holding a press conference, I need to meet three people, that is, the previous screenwriters of "Lame Hao", Ding Huilin, Chen Yinghua, Li Jie, "Chasing the Dragon" is a remake of "Lame Hao", and I need to buy the remake rights from the screenwriter. And I'm a two-hero movie, it tells the story of Lame Hao and Lei Luo, Lame Hao I plan to choose Donnie Yen, Lei Luo chooses Liu Tianwang, this is responsible for the boss to help me contact the screenwriter and actors, and we recommend the other characters in the play, or I personally choose. ”

Shao Gong saw that many people were all looking at him intently, and a pair of bright eyes were even more vibrant, just like the brilliant stars in the clear night sky: "Since I want to remake, I must make a good film with the characteristics of Hong Kong's peak, I am confident in this, I don't care what method you use, in short, I must get the remake right of "Lame Hao", the big budget film of our four companies, rely on "Chasing the Dragon" to ignite the bonfire of our co-production road, I am confident that this "Chasing the Dragon" will be used It has been made into one of the best movies in Hong Kong in recent years. ”

After that, he looked at the crowd and said, "Do you still have any questions??"

Seeing that he was so confident, of course everyone had no problem, Shao Gong continued to instruct: "Okay, tomorrow we will start preparing for the crew, I will personally participate in the selection of actors, and inform the props and sets, I need them to highly restore a Kowloon Walled City in the sixties and seventies, and the three screenwriters of Lame Hao should also contact them as soon as possible, as soon as the remake rights are in hand, we will hold a press conference, and when everything is ready to continue the filming, we can start filming." In addition, the crews of "Yin Yang Road" and "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" should also be prepared as soon as possible, and I personally drafted the actors!!"

During the banquet, everyone discussed the next process, and the next day they went to open an account, and transferred money to the household, this account is a common account of four families, you can make money, and you need to sign the money in person, otherwise one person can't sign the money at all, which is also for fairness, since cooperation, then fairness, everything needs to be clear.

To this end, Xiang Boss provided an office location for four companies in Kowloon, and each company took a word and named it "Dream Star Huanyu" Film Office!!

After the establishment of this office, Shao Gong watched many actors who were not paid much being recommended to come up, and he was also making careful arrangements, Gu Tianle's current identity is not the same as before, and his value has also risen a lot, but he has good films, and there are more bad movies, in fact, Gu Tianle at this time has not participated in many films because of Shao Gong's ability to play movie scripts on the USB disk, so he can only be regarded as a second-rate movie star.

If he hadn't known that he needed funds to invest in schools in the mainland if he had nothing to do, Shao Gong really suspected that he wouldn't read the script for filming.

But it is precisely because Louis Koo goes to build Hope Primary School when he earns money, so he will take it when the crew asks him, as long as he can give him money, he doesn't care about the salary and script, so Shao Gong calculated the account and felt that with Louis Koo's joining, the first part of "Yin Yang Road" could be completely handled by five million Hong Kong dollars, so he arranged for someone to contact Louis Koo and arranged a role for him in the play, as for the female role, it was better to choose a young model.

This time, Shao Gong, the director of "Yin Yang Road", still chose Qiu Litao, because of his requirements and the filming of this original director, although it has been more than ten years, Shao Gong believes that he will be able to shoot the original "Yin Yang Road". As soon as he heard that it was a script written by Ouyang Shaogong himself, Qiu Litao also pushed the shooting of several movies and came to shoot this one, after all, Shaogong won the title of Best Screenplay at the Oscar, and it was an opportunity for him to shoot such a script.

In fact, Qiu Litao has been working as a photographer for many years, and only in recent years has he participated in directing and shooting.

The film "Yin Yang Road" is filmed in sections, starting with the narration of "telling the ancient guy" Peter (Lei Yuyang), and bringing out several ghost stories respectively. Shao Gong found Qiu Litao and told him his views on this film, and let him play the rest.

Part 1: "Tombstone Copying"

Three movie assistants went camping for their friend's birthday, and when they met three strange women, they told ghost stories together, and the milk girl proposed to go to a nearby cemetery to copy the information of the dead on the tombstone, Ken (Louis Koo) found the tombstone of one of the women he had just met (Zhou Xiuna) when he was copying the tombstone, and was knocked unconscious in a panic......

It turned out that this was just a prank on Ken by two friends, Big B (to the left) and Xiao Bo (Ding Zijun), but the rest of the group found that Ken was not with them after they met, so they returned to the tombstone to look for it, and found Ken's tombstone, and everyone found Ken standing there in a panic. Surprised, the six of them want to return by boat, but Ken stops the milk girl and explains not to be "scary" in the future. After boarding the boat, the old woman who was on the ferry, but only charged for five people, and everyone was surprised to find Ken waving at them in the distance......

Part 2: "Yin and Yang Road"

The story is that Peter Bi (Lei Yuyang) accidentally broke into the street set of "A Thousand Pills Have Selenium" at night, and the movie is the crew where Big B and Xiaobo worked, which led to the story.

On a typhoon night, Mr. Du (Chan Kam Hung) and his wife (Chung Liti) met for dinner at a restaurant to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Mr. Du, a real estate agent, drove home with his colleague and lover Ann today. Mr. Feng Shui criticized the feng shui of the house for causing the customer to give up buying the house, and Mr. Du was unhappy with him. Mr. Feng Shui further claimed that Mr. Du had recently had a bad affair at home, and after the car accidentally hit a stone, he threatened to abandon the car and take a taxi with the client. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Du both collided, and Mrs. Du contacted Du on her mobile phone, and Mr. Du agreed to come to pick her up, and later ......

Part 3: "Red Dangdang"

This story is that Ken's two friends Xiaobo, Big B and Big B's girlfriend jojo in "Copying the Tombstone" went to pay homage to their late friend Ken, and were inadvertently haunted by the ghost of the late Mr. Du in "Yin Yang Road" in the cemetery, and fortunately met the paranormal expert "a hemorrhoid" (Lei Yuyang) who looked the same as "Peter Bi". After escaping, "a hemorrhoid" warned him to wear less red clothes, because "red and white" is the habit of ghosts......

Part 4: "Status"

Movie star Brother Xiong (Jiang Haowen) took his girlfriend May (Tang Ning) to watch a horror film "A Thousand Medicines" starring him, and asked Xiaobo to buy tickets for three people. The conductor Peter Bi called the big B choice "Tuo status", and suggested another choice. Who knew that Brother Xiong and May were blocked by someone in front of their seats, so they privately changed to the "Tuo status" of sitting on two "ghost tops", and Peter Bi tried to persuade them to no avail. In the end, the two encountered a supernatural incident in the bathroom of the theater and never left the theater......

After the crew of the first part of Yinyang Road was prepared, the filming venue was selected, and the actors were selected, Shao Gong asked them to hurry up and start the filming.

As for the old corpse in the mountain village, director Shao Gong chose Liang Honghua, because this film was originally made by him. The actor was selected to play Xiao Ming on the left, Wu Zhenyu as Fa Mao, Wen Yongshan as CISSY, Fu Ying as Chu Renmei, and Liu Xinyi as Annie...... The other actors are third-rate actors.

Because her son has a large number of filming tasks, Xiang Boss takes special care of these two crews, and the lunch box is provided by her for free.

Watching his son rush to shoot, Xiang Boss Xiang Shaogong said: "Shaogong, although Xiang Zuo is my son, you can see that it is understandable to mention him in my face, but he is still very tender, do you think he can do it well to give him such a chance to show his face? At least in my opinion, Xiang Zuo still needs to exercise more and run tricks." ”

Regarding this point of view, Shao Gong smiled and nodded understandably: "Indeed, as a senior, you are not wrong to think like this, in fact, many descendants of celebrities want them to endure more hardships and exercise more, even Brother Hong, who is the most popular in the circle, does this, except for Jackie Chan, who specializes in supporting his son." ”

"Although we have resources, what the audience hates the most is this kind of movie made specifically for his son, Jackie Chan is an example, they don't buy his son. ”

Xiang Huaqiang sighed helplessly: "This line of work is not easy to mix, acting skills are a big problem, if you don't run for ten years, how can you talk about practicing acting skills." ”

"If it had been before, I would have to say that you were doing the right thing. But now, time is running out!!"

Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang looked at Shao Gong in surprise, and he continued: "Hong Kong movies were so prosperous in the past, and there were opportunities for young people to exercise. But even if there is now, the quality of the film is also a big problem, I can say very responsibly that now Hong Kong directors shoot completely for the sake of filming, anyway, investors pay for it, directors only get the director's salary, and they don't care about the quality of the film. But I'm different, if I want to shoot, I want to make the audience applaud. Say something you don't like to hear, the current Hong Kong actor circle has entered the stage of being small and old, and the middle layer is too rare, and if you don't give young people more opportunities, there will be a fault in the Hong Kong actor circle, I think this is what seniors like you don't want to see!!"

Seeing Xiang Huaqiang nodded, he continued: "Whether young people can take this road well depends entirely on whether they can endure this hardship, and now the opportunity is given to them, it is up to them." By the way, has the screenwriter of "Lame Hao" been contacted??"

"I'll go to them in the afternoon. ”

Xiang Huaqiang said: "Ding Huilin, Chen Yinghua, and Li Jie belong to the three-year screenwriters, which means that they will not open for three years and eat for three years, but unfortunately the three of them have no masterpieces except for one "Lame Hao". So when I found them, they were a little reluctant, but for the sake of money, they agreed. ”

"That's good. ”

Shao Gong breathed a sigh of relief: "In addition to me being the director of this movie, I also need an assistant director, I think Wang Jing is good, because I also heard that he has always wanted to shoot "Lame Hao", but the three screenwriters dislike him as the king of bad movies, and they don't want to let their only well-known script lose in his hands and have never agreed, but as long as he shoots well, he still has strength." This big production is not a small budget, it can be filmed in a month or two, I will stay in Hong Kong for two months at most before I go to the United States, and after I leave, the film will need an assistant director to continue shooting. Thailand and India are also calling me, and Taiwan is also calling, so I'll be very busy for the next year, busy to be a trapeze, and if the fat man doesn't understand anything after I leave, he will let him video connect with me. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you think he can do it, don't let him be the assistant director, you just let him work on the spot, and I can also bring you the fat man." ”

Xiang Huaqiang was full of confidence in pulling this person over, and then said: "Although there are beautiful women around you, I see that you have always kept a certain distance from them, aren't they yours?"

Brother Xiang joked. ”

Shao Gong smiled: "Liu is actually my fellow junior sister, Ximen Yan is the assistant I hired, and she also serves as my bodyguard, so we are not that kind of relationship." ”

"Then go and find it, with your reputation and appearance, there will be a lot of women here. ”

Saying that, Xiang Hua couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be embarrassed, this circle is like this, men work hard all day, and it's good to have someone by your side." Of course, it's one thing to play, and if they stick to you, you tell me. ”

"Forget it, I'm still work-oriented, and I don't have time to think about that kind of thing. ”
