Chapter 68 "Lu Xiaofeng" is launched
"Terminate the contract?" Ye Jianren looked at Zhang Sen, "Why?"
"The Shaw Brothers have invited me to pass the file, and I hope that Ye Dong can fulfill it. Zhang Sen said earnestly.
"Shaw Clan?" Ye Jianren chuckled, "It seems that Zhang Sheng thinks that the big tree of Shaw Clan is much more promising than me." ”
"Ye Dong, I didn't mean that......," Zhang Sen hurriedly explained.
"You don't have to explain it to me. Ye Jianren waved his hand, "People go to high places, water flows to low places, I won't block Zhang Sheng's Qingyun Avenue." You go back and hand in your resignation, go to the finance department to settle your salary, and then, fuck off!"
Being yelled at by Ye Jianren like this, Zhang Sen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and left.
"Cai Wei, you go back and ask, who else in the company is going to resign, give them a day, and get out of the way. ”
After Bai Caiwei issued this notice, only three people handed in their resignations, and it should be said that the proportion is still very low. Of course, the rest of the people are not full of confidence in Ye Jianren, but because Xieli itself is not a promising company, and if it is replaced by Ye Jianren, it will not be much worse.
After the one-day deadline, Ye Jianren threw all the rest of the scenes to Xu Ke's crew. Xu Ke had already pulled some people into the group a few days ago, and with the people Ye Jianren stuffed over, the crew was all together.
On May 16, "Lu Xiaofeng", which had been in preparation for more than ten days, finally started shooting at the Clear Water Bay Theater.
Because he had promised Xu Ke before, Ye Jianren personally went to the set of Clear Water Bay to participate in the start-up ceremony.
Compared with the shabby scene and no one cared about when filming the first "Nightclub", this time's opening ceremony was much grander. Not only is the cast strong, the number of staff has increased, but there are also many reporters and media on the scene, vying to report.
Ye Jianren became the first pillar of incense as a producer and producer, followed by director Xu Ke, starring Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong and others. After the same worship ceremony was over, the reporters who were waiting around gathered around.
"Ye Sheng, I heard that you are going to sue "New Newspaper", I don't know if it's true or not?"
The first problem has nothing to do with this movie.
"Of course it's true, presumably the newspaper should have been summoned by the court by now. Ye Jianren said with a smile.
"May I ask why Ye Sheng sued "Xin Pao", because of the previous reports of "Xin Pao"?"
"Because of willfulness!" Ye Jianren shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a very careful person, no matter who bites me, I will definitely fight back." ”
"Judging from past experience, Ye Sheng may be difficult to win the lawsuit this time. ”
"If you can't win, you can continue, it's just a matter of spending some money. Ye Jianren said nonchalantly.
Xiangjiang has a very strange law, as long as you can afford the legal fees, you can always sue, even if you lose the lawsuit. As mentioned before, if spending a little money can help expand the company's reputation and make an example, then it will be well worth it.
"Okay, that's all for the prosecution of "Xin Pao", today is the opening ceremony of the movie "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and I still hope you can ask more questions about the movie. ”
"Ye Sheng, may I ask what are your psychological expectations for the box office of this movie?"
Now the reporters in Xiangjiang are not as undisciplined as in later generations, seeing that Ye Jianren was unwilling to answer again, he did not continue to ask, but changed the topic.
"The movie hasn't started filming yet, and it's hard to say anything......"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, the reporters all felt that it was another empty sentence, and there was nothing to expect, but they didn't expect Ye Jianren to change his voice.
"But my personal conservative estimate should be more than 10 million. ”
10 million? The surrounding reporters immediately blew up.
"Xiangjiang's martial arts films have long declined, and most of the martial arts films shot by Shaw Brothers in recent years have only one or two million at the box office, Ye Sheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve this goal. ”
"Ye Sheng, what makes you so confident in this movie. ”
"Ye Sheng, Xiangjiang currently has only two movies with a box office of more than 10 million. ”
Ye Jianren stretched out his hand and pressed down, waiting for the scene to be a little quieter before continuing: "Saying that martial arts films are outdated, I don't dare to agree, just look at the ratings of last year's TV series "Chu Liuxiang". Since the TV series can be a big hit, then the movie can also be a big hit, if not, it can only mean that it is the problem of the screenwriter and director. ”
"Ye Sheng means that the Shaw Brothers is not capable enough?" A reporter immediately caught the loopholes in Ye Jianren's words and made a challenge.
"I didn't say that, you said it, be careful that I sue you for slander. ”
Ye Jianren had a faint smile on his face, but thinking that he was going to sue "New Newspaper" if he didn't agree with him before, who didn't know whether his words were true or false.
"Shaw Brothers' martial arts films can't be said to be not excellent, but the audience is tired of watching them, so the box office has been tepid. Our company's film is different, it will break through the traditional confinement, it is a bold innovation, moving the fight from the ground to the air, giving everyone a new visual experience. ”
"Ye Sheng, I don't know what you mean by fighting in the air?"
"This, everyone will naturally know after the movie is released. Ye Jianren showed a mysterious smile, and then no matter how the reporters asked, he was silent.
After seeing that there was no news from Ye Jianren, the reporters turned their targets to director Xu Ke and Yigan. But since Ye Jianren didn't speak, how dare they talk nonsense, not to mention that most of the actors themselves don't know how to fly into the air to fight.
The reporters didn't come up with any useful words except to scold Ye Jianren for being stingy in their hearts, and they left one after another.
After the reporters dispersed, the film officially entered the filming stage, the actors began to go to the room to put on makeup and change clothes, the props began to set up, and the photographer began to adjust the camera position......
Ye Jianren stood next to him and watched quietly, and suddenly felt that the photography seemed a little familiar, and asked Xu Ke, who was looking at the script next to him, "Who is this photography?"
"Oh, it's a newcomer, it's called Zhong Zhiwen. Xu Ke replied.
Zhong Zhiwen and Ye Jianren were shocked, but the photographer who was later as famous as Du Kefeng, Huang Yuetai, Bao Dexi and others was a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Film Awards, and was the first photographer in the history of the Academy Awards to win the "Best Photography" for a second time. And this person's directing level is also good, a few years ago, he took over a film called "Go Fast and Good World", and then hit the street at the box office, so he could only honestly go back to work as a camera assistant.
"Why is he here?" asked Ye Jianren.
"Ye Sheng, do you know him?" Xu Ke said in surprise.
"I've heard of it. ”
Xu Ke nodded and didn't continue to ask, but explained: "The previous photographer took over a play temporarily, and he couldn't miss the schedule. Then Mr. Diamond recommended Zhong Zhiwen to me, saying that he was in charge of Xieli's last drama "The True Story of A Can", and his skills were not bad. ”
"What does it mean that the photographer took on another drama temporarily?" Ye Jianren frowned.
