Chapter 144: The First Movie

Wu Ming was very satisfied with Xu Ke's promise to join DreamWorks.

There are many famous directors in Xiangjiang, but now these directors either have a home or are still growing, Xu Ke is the easiest to win over at this time, and he can become the pillar of DreamWorks.

Wu Ming picked up a script from the table, handed it to Xu Ke, and said with a smile: "This is the script I wrote when I watched the "007" series of movies some time ago, how do you see the quality?"

"Oh?!" Xu Ke showed a surprised expression when he heard this, took the script, and said in surprise: "Anan said boss, you have a movie to shoot with me, but I didn't expect the script to be written by you yourself." ”

Although it is a well-known fact that Wu Ming is a genius in Xiangjiang, Xu Ke didn't expect that Wu Ming would actually write a script.

Wu Ming grinned and said with a smile: "Our DreamWorks is newly established, so naturally we must have a masterpiece to make us famous." You also know that I am a cartoonist, and I am still very sure of the plot concept, so I deliberately watched a lot of movies, and then spent a lot of effort to write this "Best Partner". ”

"Best Partner" is a series of comedy movies that many people are familiar with in later generations, and it has left a strong mark in the entire film history of Hong Kong. The first film in this series, "Bald Detective", received a box office of 26.04 million Hong Kong dollars after its release, and was the first film in Hong Kong to exceed 20 million at the box office.

In order to make a name for DreamWorks, Wu Ming searched in his mind for a long time, and finally decided to use "Best Partner" as DreamWorks' first movie some time ago.

Originally, Wu Ming wanted Zeng Zhiwei, the original director of this movie, to shoot it, but Zeng Zhiwei is also a person from Xinyi City now, and it is impossible for him to come to help DreamWorks make a movie. So I can only choose Xu Ke to direct.

Fortunately, although Xu Ke is more famous for martial arts movies and action movies, he is also better at comedy movies. "The Best Partner: The Empress's Secret Order", "The Working Emperor", "Ghost Horse and Wisdom and Many Stars" and many other excellent comedies were shot by him, otherwise Wu Ming would not dare to hand over this movie to him.

Xu Ke smiled: "Then I want to read the boss's masterpiece well." ”

Xu Ke has read Wu Ming's comics, so he still has some confidence in Wu Ming. And Wu Ming looks so confident, the script should not be too bad.

Xu Ke couldn't wait to open the script and read it, and he couldn't stop when he saw it, sometimes laughing, sometimes clapping his legs.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Kezai read the script carefully, then closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

After a full minute or two, Xu Ke finally opened his eyes and spoke.

"Good, good, good!" Xu Ke's eyes revealed irrepressible excitement and excitement.

Xu Ke raised his head, looked at Wu Ming, and laughed loudly: "The boss really deserves to be a genius, this "Best Partner" is really well written. I have a hunch that after the release of this movie, the box office will definitely be able to break the box office record of Hong Kong again. ”

Since 1980, Hong Kong's films have entered a stage of rapid development. The history of the box office was only 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which has been broken by "Junior Brother Out" starring Jackie Chan at the beginning of last year.

As an ambitious director, Xu Ke is naturally ambitious to break box office records. It's just that he didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, and he just got such a good opportunity when he joined DreamWorks.

Shi Nansheng, who was sitting on the side, saw that his boyfriend was so excited, and he was also very curious about what script the boss had written, so he took the script of "Best Partner" from Xu Ke.

Wu Ming smiled and said, "Director Xu likes this script, then there is no problem with this movie being filmed by you!"

Xu Ke nodded heavily and replied, "No problem, I will definitely make this movie well!"

Wu Ming groaned, and then said: "Director Xu, I have the candidates for the three protagonists here, you can see if it is suitable." ”

Seeing Wu Ming's appearance, Xu Ke didn't know that Wu Ming already had a draft, so he asked calmly: "Which three candidates?"

"For the role of King Kong, I think Xu Guanjie is very good, his image and acting skills are very suitable. Wu Ming said with a smile.

The singer Xu Guanjie is now in Xiangjiang when he is in full swing, and having this person as the protagonist can attract many of his fans to pay for tickets. And the role of "King Kong" was originally Xu Guanjie in his previous life, and he had successful experience.

Xu Ke nodded and said, "Xu Guanjie is indeed a suitable candidate. ”

Wu Ming continued: "For the role of a man's wife, I am ready to invite Miss Zhang Aijia. As for the role of detective, I think Mr. Wu Yaohan should be very suitable. ”

Originally, the detective role was played by Mecca, but this person is also from New Arts City, and it is impossible for him to make a movie for DreamWorks. So Wu Ming can only choose another comedian, Wu Yaohan.

After listening to the three candidates mentioned by Wu Ming, Xu Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the three people picked out by Wu Ming would not be suitable at all, and he would be very embarrassed at that time.

If you oppose it, you're afraid of hating the boss.

Don't object to it, I'm afraid of ruining such an excellent good script.

Fortunately, the three people Wu Ming said are very suitable, so he doesn't have to be embarrassed.

Xu Ke smiled lightly: "The boss is really accurate in looking at people, and I can't find fault with these three candidates at all." ”

Wu Ming laughed and said: "This is also their previous acting experience, which gave me enough confidence, otherwise how dare I make an axe in front of Director Xu." ”

Hearing Wu Ming call himself a great director, although Xu Ke has always been confident, a trace of blush flashed on his face, and he said with a wry smile: "What kind of great director am I, boss, you are too exalted of me." ”

Wu Ming looked serious and said: "I believe in Director Xu's potential, and you will definitely be able to become a famous director in the future." ”

Xu Ke saw that Wu Ming was so confident in himself, and he was immediately extremely moved.

"Boss, don't worry, I will not live up to your trust!"

At this time, Shi Nansheng on the side also finished reading the script of "Best Partner", and said with an excited smile: "Boss, you are so amazing, you actually wrote such a good script." It seems that if we want to develop in the future, we will have to rely on the boss!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and said modestly: "Where, where! A good script still needs a good director to shoot, if there is no excellent director like Director Xu, even if the script is very good, it will not achieve the most perfect effect." It might even ruin a good script. ”

Shi Nansheng heard the boss praise his boyfriend, and he was as happy as if he had drunk honey.

Wu Ming said again: "Manager Shi, if our company wants to dominate the Xiangjiang film industry, it is impossible to rely on Director Xu alone. So when I'm away, you're also going to look for potential directors. ”

Shi Nansheng responded: "Understood!"
