"I think there are three elements that are the most popular in Hong Kong movies right now, or the most popular among audiences, comedy, kung fu and cyan. Zeng Zhiwei did not say that Ye Jianren was missing anything in the script, but put forward his views on the current Hong Kong films.

Ye Jianren nodded in agreement, maybe in the future, he will have to add gangsters, gunfights, supernatural and other elements. But the most popular ones now are the points that Zeng Zhiwei said, which can be seen from the blockbuster movies in the past few years.

From the "Best Partner" series to the "Five Lucky Stars" series, it can be said that each one basically contains the above elements, even if the plot development is not needed, it must be made up.

For example, the part where Wu Yaohan learns stealth techniques and peeks at Zhong Yihong taking a bath in "Five Lucky Stars", which has nothing to do with the development of the plot at all, is completely to increase the funny and blue factor. It is said that there was originally a clip of Cheng Long peeking at Zhong Yihong taking a bath, but it was cut out during the final editing, which made everyone a lot less eye-catching.

Zeng Zhiwei saw Ye Jianren nodding in agreement and continued: "I think the comedy elements of this movie are very sufficient, but the other two are basically absent. ”

"If you add kung fu, it will look nondescript. Ye Jianren touched his chin.

"But we could have added a little bit more of the color and blue aspect of the scene. Zeng Zhiwei became more and more excited, "For example, Li Junwei has a crush on Tang Xiaolian, we can arrange for him to spy on Tang Xiaolian when Li Junwei goes to the toilet at the beginning of the film, and takes her underwear and handjobs." And in the middle, Tang Xiaolian had to go to the toilet when she was kidnapped, how could she be let go so easily as a kidnapper, she must be monitored throughout the process. ”

"Then do we want to add some tires to the plot of Tang Xiaolian?" Ye Jianren said expressionlessly.

"Hey, this idea is on point!" Zeng Zhiwei clapped his hands violently, and his eyes were so bright that they could emit fine light.

Ye Jianren covered his head and screamed in his heart, sure enough, Hong Kong people are sullen to the extreme, this guy is no different from those salty and wet guys at all.

"You can just add these episodes yourself. Ye Jianren did not veto Zeng Zhiwei's proposal, because he felt that these scenes would indeed be more interesting if they were added.

"It's on me, although I don't write the script as well as Ah Ren, but this small change is still no problem. Zeng Zhiwei patted his chest and reassured. Then he asked: "Ye Sheng, has the role of the movie been decided?" ”

"Not yet. Luo Han Guo, you are familiar with everyone in the circle, do you have any suggestions. Ye Jianren asked.

"The most important role in this movie is He Sanshui, I think Xu Guanwen is more suitable. Zeng Zhiwei proposed.

Xu Guanwen's acting skills need not be said, since the establishment of the 82 Academy Awards and won the first Best Actor, he has been nominated for Best Actor six times one after another, especially good at playing small people. Before Chow Xingchi became popular, he was the king of comedy in the minds of Hong Kong people.

"I also think Xu Guanwen is more suitable. Ye Jianren spread his hands, "But there is no money, and you can't make up Xu Guanwen's salary if you sell me." ”

"Ye Sheng, how much do you invest in this drama?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.

"Sixty or seven hundred thousand, depending on the situation, you can add some. Ye Jianren said with a smile, if you let Zeng Zhiwei know that he only has a few thousand yuan on him now, I'm afraid I want to kill him.

Hearing this figure, although Zeng Zhiwei was a little disappointed, he also felt that it was expected, after all, if Ye Jianren is really a big man who is not bad for money, he can't afford to ask himself to be a director.

In the current Hong Kong, if you don't invite super big names like Xu Guanwen, the cost of a medium-sized movie is only about one million. The movie "Nightclub Supermarket" has a simple set of scenery, fewer actors, and no big scenes, which is a standard small-budget movie, with 600,000 or 700,000 yuan enough to be filmed.

"I'll solve the filming location, rent the equipment, set up the crew and leave it to you, and you also have to worry a lot about the role, so if you can't use a newcomer. Ye Jianren was halfway through speaking, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "I know who the heroine should look for." ”

"Who?" Zeng Zhiwei said curiously.

"Yu Sali!"

"Poof!" Zeng Zhiwei almost sprayed a mouthful of water on Ye Jianren's face, "You are talking about Yu Sali who acted in "Wind and Snow Moon"?"

"That's right, it's her, not only has a low salary, but also has a lot of fame, it's just good and cheap!" Ye Jianren gave countless praises to his wit in his heart.

"But it's all famous. Zeng Zhiwei worried.

Yu Sali was the most famous star in Hong Kong in the 70s, starring in dozens of Fengyue films, and was the enlightenment teacher of countless young men, allowing countless salty and wet guys to let themselves fly in the cinema.

"A glamorous name is also a name, as long as you can trick the audience into the cinema. Ye Jianren didn't think there was anything wrong with inviting a star to act in a movie, and those movies in later generations did everything for box office promotion.

What kind of scandal between the hero and heroine, what kind of shooting injuries. Take the movie that broke the box office record, for example, the year before its release was full of news hype. One will be a conflict with the heroine of the previous film, and the other will be Xiao Xianrou's bad acting skills, and what director sells the house, and the starring actor almost drowned when filming.

Anyway, there is a picture at the beginning, no, there is not even a picture, the story is all blown up, and the people who testify are all people in the crew, which is a truth like mochi to prove Li Xiaolu's innocence. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Compared with these operations, Ye Jianren's invitation to a star to be the heroine is really nothing, not to mention that this star's private life is hundreds of times more noble than those so-called jade girls.

"The heroine is her, Yu Sali! Luo Han Guo, you go back and contact her to see if she has a schedule. Ye Jianren said categorically.

"It's up to you. Zeng Zhiwei reluctantly agreed, "Do you want to invite Yue Hua to play the leading role again." ”

"Then I'll just invite Li Hanshen over to be the director, he has much more experience in making Fengyue films than you, what else do you want you to do. Ye Jianren scolded with a smile.

Zeng Zhiwei laughed, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared with the laughter.

"Are there any questions now?" Ye Jianren asked.

Zeng Zhiwei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"Alright, let's talk about your salary. Ye Jianren's expression became serious.

"You look at it. Zeng Zhiwei himself has an indifferent attitude, as long as he can make a movie, it is mainly to accumulate experience and qualifications, and it is not too important whether he has money or not.

"Thirty thousand dollars, how about it?"

30,000 yuan is a good salary for a rookie director who has only directed one film and is not considered to be in attendance.

"No problem. Zeng Zhiwei didn't even mean to bargain, and responded directly.

"So happy to work with. Ye Jianren stretched out his right hand.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

With a "snap", Zeng Zhiwei also stretched out his right hand to shake it with him, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
