Chapter 7 Invite Hong Jingbao
Because it was almost time to meet Hong Jingbao, in order to avoid leaving a bad impression because of being late, Ye Jianren did not send Li Haiyue back, but took her directly to the meeting, even so, when he arrived at the tea restaurant, Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Jingbao had already arrived.
"I'm sorry, Hong Sheng, Luo Han Guo, I'm late. Ye Jianren confessed again and again.
"It's okay, we've just arrived. "Hong Jingbao is worthy of being a big man who can stand in the Xiangjiang film industry for decades, and his eight-sided exquisite kung fu is better than Zeng Zhiwei, and he has not expressed any dissatisfaction because of Ye Jianren's lateness and youth.
"Ye Sheng, is this your sister?" Zeng Zhiwei asked with a smile as he looked at Li Haiyue.
"It's not. Ye Jianren shook his head, "This is my little junior sister." ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard this title, Hong Jingbao came to the spirit and asked, "Ye Sheng is also a person who practices martial arts. ”
"Didn't Luo Hanguo tell Hong Sheng? In the next family, Li Tianyang, who was a teacher of Wing Chun, said that I still have some relationship with Hong Sheng. ”
Hong Jingbao nodded, he once served as a stand-in in Bruce Lee's movies and also played some roles, and Ye Jianren is Bruce Lee's nephew according to his generation, so it can indeed be related to some relationships.
"I didn't expect Ye Sheng to be born in martial arts, but he can also write scripts, unlike us who are all rough people. Hong Jingbao said with a smile.
Hong Sheng praised it falsely, just scribbling nonsense, and I don't know if I can get into Hong Sheng's eyes. Ye Jianren took out the script he brought with him and handed it over, "This is the script I wrote." ”
Hong Jingbao was taken aback by the thickness of Ye Jianren's script, many directors at the moment only make three or two pages of movie scripts, a little more than ten pages and eight pages, where is Ye Jianren so thick. The thickness of this script alone made Hong Jingbao glance at Ye Jianren, and immediately took it and looked at it carefully.
Ye Jianren's script for Hong Jingbao is his masterpiece "Five Lucky Stars" for two years, which is the first part of the Five Lucky Stars series, which was planned by Golden Harvest in the previous life to fight against the "Best Partner" series of New Art City. It's mainly about five unlucky guys who became good brothers after being imprisoned, and after being released from prison, they became new people and co-founded a cleaning company to help companies or homes clean, but they were accidentally involved in a gangster case.
This movie swept more than 20 million box office when it was released in 83, ranking second at the box office that year, and it can be said to be a very good work. As for plagiarizing Hong Jingbao's own works to do favors, Ye Jianren didn't think there was anything wrong with it. With his ability, now that he has stepped into the showbiz in Xiangjiang, he will sooner or later confront Jiahe, and may even become an enemy with Hong Jingbao. It's best to use your enemy's stuff to gain the enemy's favor.
Here, Hong Jingbao was attracted by the script, and Li Haiyue was also busy destroying the delicious pineapple buns, and had no time to pay attention to him, the third senior brother, Ye Jianren and Zeng Zhiwei discussed the matter of preparing for the movie.
"Luo Hanguo, how is the crew's preparations. Ye Jianren asked.
"Didn't you just ask last night? Zeng Zhiwei complained, "How can the preparation crew be so fast, it will take at least a week." ”
"What about the role?" Ye Jianren asked again.
"Still in contact. ”
"I don't need to look for the role of Li Junwei anymore, I met a beautiful boy when I was shopping just now, I am very optimistic about him and I am ready to let him play it. ”
"A newcomer?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.
"Yes, it's a newcomer. Ye Jianren nodded, "But you don't have to worry about acting, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Some people are born to eat the food of actors, and Liang Chaowei is obviously such a person.
After Ye Jianren left, Liang Chaowei's heart was like 10,000 cats scratching, while feeling that Ye Jianren was not very reliable, he couldn't help but think about what to do if this was true. Even if he can't be famous, even if he can only make this movie, 20,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for his poor life, at least it can make his mother a little easier.
By the way, didn't he say that he made an appointment with Hong Jingbao to meet in Xingji, why don't I go and have a look. If he really knew Hong Jingbao, then most of what he said before was true. As soon as this thought came to mind, it lingered in his mind.
In the end, Liang Chaowei gritted his teeth and asked the boss for half a day off, rushed to Xingji Tea Restaurant, and saw Ye Jianren, Hong Jingbao and an unknown Humpty Dumpty man sitting together drinking afternoon tea from a distance. Seeing this scene, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared. It seems that I'm going to be developed this time, so hurry back and tell my mother the good news, and I want my sister, well, and Ah Xing, a decrepit boy.
"I want this script!" Hong Jingbao closed the script and said domineeringly, not even asking the price, looking like he was bound to win.
"Since Hong Sheng likes it, I will give this script to Hong Sheng, but I have one condition, I hope Hong Sheng can make a cameo in my movie. Ye Jianren didn't ask for money, at present, compared to the money from selling scripts, Hong Jingbao's tiger skin is more important.
Hong Jingbao thought for a while and agreed. First, he wants to befriend Ye Jianren, and the person who can write a script like "Five Lucky Stars" is definitely very talented, and he will inevitably deal with it in the future. Second, this kind of thing is definitely beneficial and harmless for him, if the box office is good, he must have credit, and if the box office is not good, the script is too bad, the director is too bad, and it has nothing to do with him.
doesn't cost money, gets a script for nothing, and can still befriend Ye Jianren, Hong Jingbao has no reason to refuse.
"Thank you, Hong Sheng. Let's have dinner together?" Ye Jianren sent out an invitation.
"It's so late?" Hong Jingbao looked at the sky that was already dark outside and said apologetically: "I made an appointment with Mecca tonight to talk about things, next time, next time I have a treat." ”
Ye Jianren really wanted to meet this guy Mecca, but since Hong Jingbao didn't invite him, he couldn't rush to propose.
"Then wait for Hong Sheng to be free next time. Ye Jianren said with a smile.
After Hong Jingbao left, Ye Jianren touched his chin and said, "How about letting Yuan Biao play the robber?"
"I also think Yuan Biao is very suitable, but I can't afford to sell you to him!" Zeng Zhiwei learned the tone of Ye Jianren when they met last time, and then spread his hands helplessly.
Ye Jianren was amused by Zeng Zhiwei's vivid appearance, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I know who to find to play the robber." ”
"Who?" Zeng Zhiwei had a bad premonition, the last time Ye Jianren spoke in this tone, he asked Yu Sali to be the heroine, and he didn't know what kind of moth was going to come out this time.
"You!"
"Me?" Zeng Zhiwei pointed to his nose.
"Yes, a one-meter-five robber......"
"One meter six!" Zeng Zhiwei interrupted.
"Oh, the one-meter-six robber must be very interesting. Ye Jianren continued: "In this way, the later plot also needs to be changed a little and add some kung fu elements, what do you think?"
Zeng Zhiwei thought about it in his mind for a while, and his eyes gradually lit up: "It's really funny, I'll go back and change the script now." ”
After speaking, Zeng Zhiwei left in a hurry.
"You two paid for it, and one ran faster than the other. After Ye Jianren muttered, he took Li Haiyue to settle the bill unhappily, but learned that Hong Jingbao had already paid the money when he left just now. After Ye Jianren learned about it, he secretly sighed in his heart, Hong Jingbao is really good at being a person, his success is not accidental, even if he doesn't make movies, he can mix very well.
