Chapter 23 Working with Hung Jin Po
(Thanks to the two students of 'Qingfeng Qin Yuan' and 'The Man Under the Umbrella' for their tips, thank you! In addition, ask for a ticket, ask for support!)
In late October, Wu Cheng wrote the storyboard script of "Five Lucky Stars", and Zhao Yazhi also helped Wu Cheng successfully make an appointment with Hong Jinbao.
At this time, Hong Jinbao is not the big brother of later generations. Although he is already a famous action director, he has not really directed a play, so his current momentum is naturally incomparable with the ** ten years after that.
But in the film industry, his relationship is naturally not comparable to Wu Cheng.
And Hong Jinbao himself is also very puzzled, because he is not familiar with Zhao Yazhi, and Zhao Yazhi's acquaintance of Guò TVB asked him, and he is a little strange.
Of course, he didn't think that a big beauty like Zhao Yazhi would take a fancy to him. But subconsciously, he still dressed himself carefully, who knows if pie will fall from the sky!
It's just that when he saw Zhao Yazhi coming in with a teenager in the tea restaurant where he was waiting, he knew that he wanted to go wrong. If that's the case, Zhao Yazhi will definitely not bring one more.
But when he saw Zhao Yazhi coming in, he still stood up and signaled.
Looking at the well-dressed Hong Jinbao, Wu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, because Hong Jinbao's hairstyle at this time was too similar to his watermelon hairstyle in the movie.
Now Hong Jinbao has begun to gain weight, and the gap between his lips and lips has also appeared.
"Miss Zhao, please!" Hong Jinbao smiled and gestured to Zhao Yazhi.
"Thank you!" Zhao Yazhi politely introduced to Hong Jinbao: "Brother Hong, this is my younger brother Wu Cheng, in fact, the person who really asked you out today is not me, it's him!"
Hong Jinbao glanced at Wu Cheng strangely, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "That makes me even more curious! Little brother Wu Cheng, hello! I am Hong Jinbao, you can also call me Brother Sanmao, so kind, my brothers all call me that." ”
He paused as he spoke, and then said, "I don't know what Brother Xiao Wu is looking for me?"
Wu Cheng didn't sit down, but stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile: "Hello Brother Sanmao, formally introduce yourself, my name is Wu Cheng, the Wu Cheng who wrote 'Hui Ming'." Maybe you haven't seen 'Hui Ming', but you must have heard of it! You can call me Cheng Tsai or Xiao Cheng. ”
Hong Jinbao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, the novel 'Hui Ming', I am really thunderous, although I haven't read it, but my wife is chasing it every day......"
As he spoke, he also looked Wu Cheng up and down, and said, "I just didn't expect that the author of that novel would be so young." How old is Cheng Tsai this year?"
Hong Jinbao didn't think that Wu Cheng would lie, after all, Zhao Yazhi was sitting in front of him, unless Wu Cheng even deceived Zhao Yazhi, but it is obviously unlikely, this kind of thing can be deceived for a while, but it can't be deceived for a lifetime, there will always be a time when it will be exposed.
Wu Cheng coughed lightly, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Yazhi and Hong Jinbao, and said with a smile: "I'm fifteen years old this year, but I'm a little late, but don't worry, it's already starting to develop, and I've grown almost ten centimeters in the past two months." Brother Sanmao, please have tea!"
Seeing that Wu Cheng's hand shook slightly, the teacup slipped in front of him, but the tea in it did not shine in the slightest, which made Hong Jinbao's eyes slightly dumbfounded.
"Cheng Zai, your hand is not something that ordinary people can do!" Hong Jinbao came back to his senses, first sighed, and finally asked with a smile: "I don't know what Cheng Zai is taught by?"
"I swam from the mainland!" Wu Cheng smiled slightly, did not say the teacher, and said at the end: "I asked Brother Sanmao to come out today, in fact, I want to ask Brother Sanmao to make a movie!"
After seeing the shock to Hong Jinbao, Wu Cheng directly explained his intention.
"Please let me make a movie?" Hong Jinbao didn't turn a corner.
Wu Cheng nodded, handed over the script, and said: "The script is here, there are actually five male protagonists in this play, Brother Sanmao, you are one of them, and Sister Zhi is the heroine." ”
Zhao Yazhi has read the script a long time ago, and it can definitely be regarded as 'exciting', but for the character of the character of 'Little Sister', she thinks it is a small challenge.
Hung Jinbao read the script very carefully, and as a result, he watched it directly for two hours, especially when he saw the action scenes, he always felt that these actions were really designed to suit his appetite.
As a result, when he came back to his senses, he found that Wu Cheng was the only one sitting in front of him.
"What about Miss Zhao?" Hong Jinbao asked politely, and said, "Cheng Zai, your script is really interesting and careful enough." I estimate that in the whole of Xiangjiang nowadays, there is no one like you who writes scripts at all. As far as your script is concerned, no matter who you shoot it for, there is nothing that can't be filmed, it's just that the set is a little troublesome. By the way, who are you going to look for, director? How much to invest?"
Wu Cheng slowly tasted the tea and said with a smile: "My sister Zhi has something to do, so I went back first, I saw that Brother Sanmao was so involved before, so I didn't bother, and asked me to say sorry to you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Hong Jinbao smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's me who is too devoted!"
Wu Cheng said with a smile: "Only if you are as committed as Brother Sanmao can you succeed!"
"It's Chengzai, your script is so wonderful!"
After praising each other, Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Director, I think Brother Sanmao is quite suitable, what do you think?"
"I ......" Hong Jinbao thought about it carefully, and said a little suspiciously: "Really let me come?"
Wu Cheng nodded and said seriously: "When I wrote this script, I had already thought of the director, I think the entire Xiangjiang, you Sanmao brother to direct this film, is the most suitable!"
"Death for a confidant! Since you can afford me, then I'll take it!" Hong Jinbao said solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't mess it up." ”
"I'm very relieved to have Brother Sanmao carry it around for me!" Wu Cheng said with a smile, paused, and said, "Brother Sanmao, have you ever thought about coming out to start a company by yourself?"
Hong Jinbao was shocked by Wu Cheng's words, he didn't expect that this little guy who is not young but has a lot of ideas would have such great ambitions.
I wanted to open my own film company at a young age, and I really dared to think and fight!
In comparison, he felt that his momentum in this area was a little inferior to that of this little guy. At the age of fifteen, the ambition is so big, and the future ...... Hong Jinbao was a little unimaginable.
After picking up the teacup with a slightly trembling hand and soothing his feelings, Hong Jinbao raised his head with a serious face and said, "Ah Cheng, what do you think?"
At this time, Hong Jinbao didn't dare to treat Wu Cheng as a child anymore, but treated him as an equal, which can be seen from his sudden change of title.
It's not that he didn't think that Wu Cheng was bragging, but a person who can write such a wonderful script will be a child who doesn't understand anything?
Even if the other party is really bragging, he doesn't mind listening to the other party's thoughts.
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "My idea is very simple, I am optimistic about Brother Sanmao, and I am also optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang movies, so I want to come in and get involved." If Brother Sanmao is interested, I welcome Brother Sanmao to join with both hands, I am in charge of the script, and Brother Sanmao is in charge of shooting...... As for the shares, we can discuss it again, what do you think?
Hong Jinbao nodded, and said seriously at the end: "Ah Cheng, have you ever thought that opening a film company is not a joke. If it's just a leather bag company, then I'm not interested. But if it's a regular film company, this investment is not a small amount, are you sure you are serious?"
Wu Chengwei smiled and nodded: "Brother Sanmao, I know very well what I am doing, and I also know that my current strength is still very weak, and the film company still has a long way to go if it wants to release independently." In fact, I just want to make an independent system, which is not easy, and I can't even afford some expensive photographic equipment...... But these problems are not a reason to stop our dreams from taking off. After a pause, Wu Cheng chuckled again and said, "Actually, even if you fail, so what?"
When Hong Jinbao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned again. I heard Wu Cheng say again: "Even if we fail, it's just that I will be my author again, continue to write novels and scripts, and you will be your director, actor, or action director again, is there anything to lose?"
When Hong Jinbao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he slapped the table with his big hand and shouted, "It's done!"
As a result, Hong Jinbao's actions attracted a lot of disgusted eyes, and he looked a little red-faced. However, Wu Cheng felt that his face was red and his ears were red, more because of excitement.
Hong Jinbao got up and pulled Wu Chengben away, and said, "Let's go, go to my house!" I will call my brothers and have a meal at my house in the evening, and talk about the opening of the company by the way. ”
Wu Cheng hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Brother Sanmao's favorite thing to go to is the night game!"
Hong Jinbao laughed and said, "I want to go to that place, but can you?"
As a result, Wu Cheng was embarrassed, and the disadvantage of being young came again.
Hong Jinbao's wife is a Korean, and at this time, their first son Hong Tianming is also more than a year old. Seeing this little guy clumsily crawling here and there, Wu Cheng was happy.
Just when Wu Cheng was teasing Xiao Tianming, several figures walked in from the door of the apartment with Hong Jinbao, and Wu Cheng was quite familiar with the faces of these people, especially the two young men with a big nose and a big mole at the corner of their noses......
However, these people are not like the later generations, at least the charter wife is not so fat, and now they are in the prime of life, and Yuan Biao is still just a teenager.
Hong Jinbao came in and said to Wu Cheng, who was teasing his son: "Ah Cheng, come and introduce you to these brothers of mine, everyone be quiet...... Hong Jinbao said, pointing to Wu Cheng who came over with Xiao Tianming and said: "His name is Wu Cheng, you call him Ah Cheng." Ah Cheng, these are my brothers, Shenglong, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Kui......"
Seeing Hong Jinbao's solemn introduction, these real Seven Little Blessings couldn't help but look at Hong Jinbao with some strange things, Shenglong spoke quickly, and said: "Senior brother, why did you make it so solemn, I thought it was an important guest! It turned out to be a little kid, ha......"
