Chapter 63: Wang Jie's Wedding Gift
At the premiere of "Shaolin Temple", Wang Jie saw Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Guorong and Huang Qiuyan sitting together. After the film screening, Wang Jie invited them to dine at Villa No. 1 in the Mid-Levels District, during which Wang Jie asked several people in detail about their studies in China, and saw several people talking about campus life with high spirits, Wang Jie felt a sense of accomplishment in changing the lives of others.
After the meal, Zhang Guorong said with a little twist: "William, I will hold a wedding with Qiu Yan after the Spring Festival, I hope you can participate." ”
Wang Jie was a little amused after hearing this, and said: "After the Spring Festival, Qiu Guan and Ms. Yu Anan are also going to get married, and the two of them personally sent me a wedding card yesterday. If it weren't for the delay in filming "Chu Liuxiang" last year, I think they would definitely be in front of you. ”
After Wang Jie said this, an idea suddenly broke out, he immediately called Zheng Shaoqiu and Yu An'an to ask them to come over, and after waiting for about forty minutes, Zheng Shaoqiu and Yu An'an walked into the villa in a hurry.
Waiting for the two to sit down, Wang Jie said: "I decided to give you a special wedding gift, I want to make a movie for you, the four of you will participate, remove the principal and publicity expenses, and all the box office profits of Xiangjiang will be equally divided among you as your future children's milk powder money, how about it, it's very interesting!"
The four of them looked at each other when they heard this, and Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Liang Jiahui on the side were also dumbfounded.
Zheng Shaoqiu asked tentatively, "Boss, how do we calculate our salary?"
Wang Jie opened his mouth and replied: "Of course not, you are all acting in friendship!"
"William, you're too stingy, what kind of gift is this!" Zhang Guorong complained repeatedly.
Wang Jie said angrily: "What are you calling nonsense, do you know what the box office of Xiangjiang I expect for this movie to be, no less than 24 million, and the two of you can get a minimum of 5 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Wang Jie's words seemed to be blowing through a hurricane, and everyone was collectively stunned.
The film that Wang Jie wants to shoot is the film "Love Holiday" released in the United States on December 8, 2006.
"Love Holiday" mainly tells the story of Alice, a British woman, and Amanda, an American woman, both have just experienced a failed relationship, and both have experienced the betrayal of their boyfriends, so they decide to leave this sad place at Christmas and go to a new place for a peaceful holiday to calm their frustration. By chance, these two women who had the same experience met on the Internet, and the two people had the same idea, and they made a bold and exciting decision for their vacation, which was to exchange their residences for each other's vacation. So Alice boarded a flight to the United States, and Amanda also came to the British cottage where Alice lived in England. When the two arrive at their destination, Amanda falls in love with the British boy Graham, and Alice also meets the American boy Mills.
Many places in the whole film require Wang Jie to make modifications, there was no Internet in the 80s, Wang Jie deliberately changed it to one of the heroines who made the wrong phone call and accidentally met in the air, as for the home address of the two, it was changed to one lives in Xiangjiang and the other lives on Bay Island, and Wang Jie, the name of the person in the play, decided to use the real names of the four of them, which makes the audience feel very interesting.
Wang Jie took two days to write the script, and after distributing it to the four people, he told them to start filming as soon as the Spring Festival passed, anyway, there were no big scenes, and Wang Jie expected to finish filming in half a month.
This Spring Festival was spent under the expectation of all the women, the twelve-year-old Wang Jie's height was infinitely close to one hundred and seventy centimeters, and his appearance was not much different from that of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.
On the third day after the Spring Festival, Wang Jie prepared the crew, and "Love Holiday" was officially launched.
Wang Jie gave Huang Qiuyan the role of Alice (renamed Huang Qiuyan) in the original Kate Winslet, a newspaper editor in Taipei, Bay Island, who was haunted by witnessing her boyfriend's splitting at a Christmas Eve party. She also decided to use a vacation to relieve her mood, and later contacted Yu An'an, who was suffering from the same illness in the Hong Kong New Territories, on the wrong phone call, and the two exchanged residences. In Xiangjiang, Huang Qiuyan met Yu Anan's colleague Zhang Guorong, and the two attracted each other. In the end, Huang Qiuyan and Zhang Guorong returned to the UK together to celebrate the New Year with Yu Anan and his family.
Yu Anan plays the original Cameron Diaz character Amanda (Wang Jie changed his name to Yu An'an), a producer at Heung Kong DreamWorks Films, who was kicked out of the house after being hacked by her boyfriend. She decided to relieve her mood by going on vacation, and later contacted Huang Qiuyan, who was suffering from the same illness on Bay Island, on the phone, and the two exchanged residences. In the UK, Yu Anan met Huang Qiuyan's brother Zheng Shaoqiu, and the two gradually fell in love. In the end, Yu Anan healed his emotional wounds and celebrated the New Year with Huang Qiuyan's family.
Zheng Shaoqiu plays the role of Graham (Wang Jie changed his name to Zheng Shaoqiu) in the original Jude Law, Huang Qiuyan's brother, widower, book editor, and full-time dad. Because of their love for Huang Qiuyan and Yu An'an's exchange of residences, they met Yu An'an, and the two sparked love. Although he said that he didn't care, he found it difficult to let go of Yu An'an in his heart. In the end, while curing Yu Anan's emotional wounds, he also got rid of his heart disease and danced with his family in the New Year's bell.
Zhang Guorong plays the character of the original Jack Black Miles (Wang Jie changed his name to Zhang Guorong), Yu An'an's colleague and soundtrack. Because Huang Qiuyan and Yu Anan exchanged residences and met Huang Qiuyan, the two became friends. In the continuous exchanges, the relationship between Zhang Guorong and Huang Qiuyan further developed. In the end, he and Huang Qiuyan went to Bay Island to gather with Yu An'an to celebrate the New Year together.
Wang Jie really fully demonstrated his fast knife skills this time, and it only took 18 days to shoot before and after, which is because Huang Qiuyan, who shot a movie for the first time, is always NG. The most interesting thing is that Wang Jie brought Zhou Runfa and Li Lianjie respectively, and made a cameo appearance as a scumbag who split his legs on Yu Anan and Huang Qiuyan, which can be regarded as a kind of bad taste for Wang Jie! Who let Zhou Runfa and Yu An'an, Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan were divorced couples, but unfortunately this kind of happiness can only be felt by Wang Jie.
The wedding of Zheng Shaoqiu and Yu Anan was set for February 22, and the wedding of Zhang Guorong and Yu Anan was scheduled for March 2, a week before and after.
At the wedding of Zheng Shaoqiu and Yu An'an, Wang Jie saw Shen Dianfang, and saw this powerful seventh sister looking at Zheng Shaoqiu's affectionate gaze, Wang Jie felt that he had done a good deed.
On March 1, the day before Zhang Guorong and Huang Qiuyan's wedding, Wang Jie completed all the production of "Love Holiday", and the film was finally set for April 1, April Fool's Day.
