It took a few days, Wang Zheng sorted out the script of "Crazy Stone", the story of this movie is very simple, a handicraft factory in Chongqing Shancheng found a piece of priceless jade when overthrowing the old factory, and an exhibition was specially made for economic benefits, but the international thief Mike and the local thief trio led by Brother Dao are eyeing the jadeite, through a series of open and secret battles and the exchange of real and fake jadeite, the two groups of thieves were thoroughly black humor.

The whole story is somewhat borrowed from British director Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery", when "Crazy Stone" was released in the later generations, it was also full of trouble because of "plagiarism", whether it was borrowed or plagiarized, it was none of Wang Zheng's business, the British director Guy Ritchie in this era is still a teenager, and he doesn't have to worry about other people's eyes at all, and Guy Ritchie will shoot "Two Big Smoking Guns" in the future , if Wang Zheng is in a bad mood, he will directly sue the British director in court, Wang Zheng also wants to learn from Shao Tycoon, and see which court he is unhappy with.

Although the whole film is shot in a simple way, it is not easy to embody that sense of black humor and make the audience laugh, but fortunately, Wang Zheng now has Shaw Brothers' production resources in his hands, and repeated reshoots can also shoot his own expected effect.

In 1982, Shao Tycoon had absolute control over Shaw Brothers Pictures and TVB, and no one dared to come out to disagree with Tycoon Shao for tilting the resources of Shaw Brothers Pictures in favor of a young director, Wang Zheng has been waiting for someone to step on him a few times, and he can turn on the mode of pretending to be forced to slap his face, but unfortunately it has not been, everyone is very busy!

knocked on Shao Daheng's office, and it happened that Fang Yihua was also there, and Wang Zheng directly handed over the script of "Crazy Stone".

"Uncle Six, this is the movie script I sorted out, you can look at it first, if you are not satisfied, you can put it forward, and I will improve it. ”

Shao Daheng took the script and read it directly, the content of the whole story is not much, Wang Zheng changed the background of the story of Chongqing to Xiangjiang, and the handicraft factory was replaced by the temple management meeting.

"The story is not bad, the story concept of your real and fake jade is good, it is very dramatic, and it is full of humor. ”

Shao Daheng is more satisfied after reading it, the simple and ordinary story reflects a lot of things.

"It's great if Uncle Six likes it, but I can't find a suitable location for filming for a while, so I don't know if Uncle Six has any good suggestions. ”

Wang Zheng actually has a suitable place in his heart, but with his reputation and status, it is difficult to convince the other party.

Shao Daheng handed the finished script to Fang Yihua on the side, frowned and thought about it, he couldn't think of where the scene was suitable for a while, although Xiangjiang is small, but there are many temples, it is relatively easy to find a suitable shooting location.

After reading the script, Fang Yihua's eyes lit up: "Ah Zheng, according to your script, this is very similar to the Tin Hau Temple on Temple Street, there are temples and markets, you won't just conceive the script according to the scene of the Tin Hau Temple!"

Wang Zheng was a little embarrassed to be exposed, and said that Fang Yihua was quite shrewd and what he said was true.

After listening to Fang Yihua's words, Shao Daheng also suddenly realized, he had been thinking about the temple in Xiangjiang, but he omitted the Tianhou Temple, and glanced at Wang Zheng with a little meaning, waiting for his explanation.

Wang Zheng hesitated a little and said: "Sixth uncle, sixth aunt, don't write the script of the Tianhou Temple because I am afraid that they will not open the venue to us, after all, the script is based on the storyline of the temple's poor management." ”

Shao Daheng laughed after listening to Wang Zheng's explanation, and didn't speak, which made Wang Zheng next to him have a black line, is this explanation funny?

It was Fang Yihua who opened his mouth to explain: "You don't have to worry about this problem at all, I don't dare to guarantee others, but the Tianhou Temple will definitely be open to our Shaw Brothers Pictures." ”

"Why is that?"

Wang Zheng couldn't help but be curious, and almost popped out the northeast dialect of Xiao Shenyang.

Shao Daheng smiled and said nothing, Fang Yihua continued to explain: "Let's not talk about anything else, President Dai, the current member of the management committee of the Tianhou Temple, has been friends with the sixth uncle for decades, even if there is no such relationship, just the signboard of our Shaw Brothers Pictures, the Dai family who manages the Tianhou Temple will also agree to our crew to enter the filming, the most important thing is that you, the director, will direct this film, if the Dai family knows that you will guide it, they will definitely agree." ”

After listening to Fang Yihua's explanation, Wang Zheng was relieved and didn't have to worry about the venue anymore, but Fang Yihua finally sold another pass to make him even more curious.

"I can understand the first two reasons, but the sixth aunt said that I can agree to guide the Dai family, which makes me a little incomprehensible. ”

"Because of the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City". ”

"What about the solution?" Wang Zheng asked shamelessly.

"The popularity of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" in Xiangjiang, since the summer vacation, the number of Hong Kong people traveling to India has increased by three layers than before, you must know that India is not a place where Hong Kong people like to travel. ”

After speaking, Fang Yihua's eyes became more kind when he looked at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was stunned, and he didn't expect one of his movies to have such an influence, which made him a little flattered.

Shao Daheng waved his hand: "The matter of the venue has been solved, let's put forward any other problems together, the new movie is still supervised by Manager Fang, with the cooperation of the ghost blowing the lamp last time, the crew can find Manager Fang if there are problems that cannot be solved." ”

Fang Yihua nodded in agreement, in the Shaw Brothers, she is the spokesperson of the tycoon, the tycoon is old, and he has gradually begun to delegate power to the people below, Wang Zheng is also the younger generation she is very optimistic about, if she can win him to her own front, she will have more say in the future.

Wang Zheng didn't know Fang Yihua's mental calculations, and thought about it before he spoke: "I plan to use the original cast of the ghost blowing the lantern movie in this play, after the last happy cooperation, I am already familiar with them, and it is easy to carry out the following work, one of the roles is very suitable for Fa Ge, I want him to make a cameo, so that it can also increase the popularity of the new movie." ”

After a pause, he continued: "There are many characters in this play, and I want to go to the wireless artist class to select a few newcomers to play the roles that do not have many roles in the play, so that newcomers have a chance to exercise, and they can also add fresh blood to Shaw Brothers." ”

Fang Yihua glanced at Shao Daheng and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded and agreed: "I will say hello to Fa Tsai, and then you can go directly to him, the wireless artist class and the wireless artist with a gap period, you can go to the casting, and report to me directly after selecting the candidates!"

Wang Zheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, and he accepted Fang Yihua's generous arrangement without any pressure.

"As for the cost of this play, you make a budget first, and then make up less and refund more in the later stage of production, it is up to you to decide, and this matter is in charge of Manager Fang, and you will discuss it then. ”

Shao Daheng, who has not spoken, has decided the budget for the new movie.

For the trust that the tycoon did not reserve, Wang Zheng was a little moved in his heart, and he could only use the high box office of the Chinese New Year stalls to repay, and hurriedly said goodbye and went back to prepare the plan for the entire movie first.

Waiting for Wang Zheng to leave, Fang Yihua asked Shao Daheng with some puzzlement: "Sixth brother, you give Wang Zheng so much authority, aren't you afraid that he will become the next Zou Wenhuai?"

Shao Daheng shook his head: "I have always thought that I have a very accurate eye for seeing people, but first Zou Wenhuai, and then Bruce Lee, prove that I am really old and can no longer see accurately." ”

Fang Yihua comforted: "Sixth brother, how can you get old when your body is so healthy now, the so-called people have missed their hands and horses, and it is understandable to be wrong for a while." ”

Shao Daheng sighed: "I can't see Wang Zheng clearly, I think he has a strong purpose in doing things, but I can't see ambition in him, and I don't know if he hides it well, in short, we gave him enough help in the early stage, even if he sets up another door in the future, we have received enough rewards, as for whether he will leave the Shaw Brothers, I hope I didn't see the wrong person this time." ”

Fang Yihua nodded thoughtfully.
