Chapter 72 "Best Partner" is launched

The preparatory work of "The True Color of Heroes", Wang Jie handed over all the work to Xu Ke, who had just finished promoting "Butterfly Change".

The film "Butterfly Change" was released three years later than the original time and space. Compared with the original time and space, the actors of "Butterfly Change" have changed greatly except for the heroine Mi Xue, this film is Wu Siyuan took the script to find Xu Ke, and Mecca of DreamWorks Pictures learned that DreamWorks Pictures had another kick, which was jointly invested and produced by Siyuan Pictures and DreamWorks, so the actors used artists signed by DreamWorks Brokerage Company.

Xu Ke followed Wang Jie to make a number of different types of films, and studied in Industrial Light & Magic for nearly a year, both ability and vision are very different from the original time and space, the script of "Butterfly Change" Xu Ke has made the screenwriting department of DreamWorks revise and improve a lot, and the level of shooting and the quality of production have improved too much, so "Butterfly Change" After the film was released in DreamWorks theaters, it hit a box office of more than 24 million in Xiangjiang with a production cost of 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Ke also became famous, and many film company bosses have found Xu Ke with scripts, hoping that it can be directed, Xu Ke is not disdainful of these garbage scripts, he is now on par with Wang Jie, the boss, cherishes his feathers, and hopes that every film he makes is a masterpiece, and his ambition has been completely stimulated by Wang Jie, hoping that one day he can make a world-class masterpiece and become a world-class director。

At the end of 1982, Wang Jie asked Bantam Books to publish two books that he had "written", namely "Lethal Weapons" and "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Just after the Spring Festival in 1983, Wang Jie returned to Xiangjiang with Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin and Hu Huizhong, the other younger women in the family were all enrolled in school, and the remaining Zhao Yazhi helped take care of several children, including her son; Audrey Hepburn took care of the newly purchased Australian Ibby Ranch and Wang Jie's two private islands of Kauai and Lanai, which were about to be completed. As for Nicole Kidman, Wang Jie and her have taken over her body and mind after their day off, and she is currently studying acting at the California Institute of the Arts. In addition, Wang Jie's other woman, Naomi Woz, also studied at the California Institute of the Arts.

On the third day of Wang Jie's return to Xiangjiang, Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Cheng Long from DreamWorks came to the door. As soon as Wang Jie led a few people to the living room and sat down, Huang Baiming couldn't wait to say: "Mecca and I wrote a script at the beginning of last year, and after more than a year of discussion and revision, it was finally completed in the past few days. ”

Because DreamWorks imitates the major Hollywood companies to implement the producer responsibility system, which is different from the director responsibility system of other companies in Xiangjiang, DreamWorks must have a perfect storyboard script before making a movie, which slows down the filming speed, so DreamWorks has shot no more than ten movies a year since its establishment in the past few years, far less than Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. However, the films filmed by DreamWorks can be regarded as high-quality, so the profits obtained are several times more than those earned by other film companies in Xiangjiang.

Wang Jie took the script handed over by Mecca, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that the skin said "The Best Partner: Bald Detective", and after opening the script and reading it, Wang Jie was greatly pleased, and the completion and excitement of the script were much higher than the original time and space.

After reading the script, Wang Jie said: "I like the script you created, how do you expect to shoot it?"

Mecca replied: "We want Xu Kelai to direct, Aaron and Mecca to be the male lead, and as for the female lead, we want to ask Ms. Lin Qingxia to play the role." ”

Cheng Long hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "No, I don't have time recently, during this time, I created a script with Deng Jingsheng, a newcomer to the screenwriting department of DreamWorks, and I specially brought it over to the boss today." After speaking, Cheng Long took out a script and handed it to Wang Jie.

When Wang Jie saw the words "Plan A" printed on the cover of the script, he raised his eyebrows again, and after opening the script and reading it, Wang Jie asked, "How is Aaron going to shoot?"

Cheng Long said a little embarrassedly: "This time I want to invite senior brother Hong Jinbao to participate in the performance, but I think Jiahe will definitely have to intervene, so I also ask the boss to have an idea." ”

"There's no problem, you can let Golden Harvest invest half, it can be regarded as a joint production, and the profits can be divided in half, but the copyright should belong to DreamWorks. Wang Jie replied.

"Then there's no problem, I'll go to the senior brother tomorrow to discuss and start filming as soon as possible. Cheng Long said.

Wang Jie took out a script prepared in advance, handed it to Cheng Long and said: "You must do a good job of protection when filming "Plan A", this is the script "Police Story" I wrote some time ago, you take it and retouch it with Deng Jingsheng, and you can start filming this movie after "Plan A" is completed." ”

Cheng Long put away the script with dignity, and Shi Tian on the side said: "If Ah Long is not free, we can only contact Zhou Yunfa or Zhang Guorong." ”

Wang Jie said: "You don't have to think about Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Guorong, I want to shoot a new film recently, and they all have to participate." ”

Mecca touched her bald head and said distressedly, "What then?"

Huang Baiming on the side thought for a while and said, "Why don't you find Xu Guanjie!"

Wang Jie said: "Have you forgotten Li Lianjie? Let him participate!"

Shi Tian clapped his hands and said, "I haven't seen Applejack for a long time, we almost forgot about Applejack, his skills to play the role of King Kong are very suitable, but boss, isn't Applejack studying in Beiying?"

Wang Jie said: "I called him to ask for a leave of absence to come back, but Xu Ke, you have to ask, he was going to be the executive director of my film before." ”

After sending a few people away, Wang Jie called Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie happily agreed, and decided to go back to Xiangjiang with Zhang Guorong, who had just finished taking leave.

The next day, Huang Baiming and others found Xu Ke and asked him to help direct "Best Partner: The Bald Detective", Xu Ke decisively refused, he felt that learning more shooting skills by Wang Jie's side was the most important thing, and he was not short of shooting opportunities.

In the end, there was no way, Mecca could only go into battle in person, and at the same time, in order to be more secure, the crew of "Best Partner" also invited Yuan Kui, Zeng Zhiwei, who had just joined DreamWorks, and Lin Lingdong of Jiayi to co-guide.

However, among all the films of DreamWorks in the new year, it was Wang Jie's "The True Color of Heroes" that took the lead in filming.
