Central & Western District, Garden Road, Rooftop of Bank of China. The windswept rooftops, the starry sky, and the endless city lights.

All the scenery in front of him is an experience that Wang Zheng has never had, except for Wu Yusen and Xu Ke, two weirdos, no one should climb to the top of a building hundreds of meters high to blow the wind in the early spring season.

Fortunately, there is a corner on the top floor to block the wind, otherwise let alone chatting and talking, as soon as you open your mouth, you can keep pouring a cold wind into your stomach.

Sitting by the bonfire, Wang Zheng's cold and swishing body slowly warmed up.

Not long after sitting down, Xu Ke took out a bottle of red wine and three goblets out of nowhere, filled them one by one, and when he handed them to Wang Zheng, he said: "Director Wang, standing here and looking at Xiangjiang, I feel very different!"

Wang Zheng took the red wine, thanked him, and said: "I really don't have any other feelings, the only feeling is that it's a little cold." ”

Wang Zheng's answer seemed to be a bit unexpected by Xu Ke, and even the red wine glass that he was about to hand to Wu Yusen was stunned in the air.

Wu Yusen took the red wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Wenguang, Ah Zheng is different from us, without your chivalrous feelings, standing here and looking at the entire Xiangjiang, except for being able to see a little farther, the rest of the feeling is only cold." ”

After Wu Yusen finished speaking, he explained to Wang Zheng: "Xu Ke and I both have a martial arts complex, and I don't feel like a modern person, but a chivalrous man living in ancient times. ”

Xu Ke, who came back to his senses, also said: "That's right, just like the brotherhood in "The True Color of Heroes", the human nature placed between good and evil. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the endless city lights, and said: "Overlooking the entire Xiangjiang River from here, I know how small I am, others say that the Xiangjiang River is full of gold, is a rich and prosperous metropolis, with rows of skyscrapers, but I don't know that opportunities are often only reserved for those who are prepared, Xiangjiang is like a big pyramid with clear distinctions, and those who are prepared can live in luxury villas on the top of Taiping Mountain." Those who are not prepared can only go to Sham Shui Po to rent a coffin room and cage room of 6 or 7 square meters. ”

The two of them jumped out of their train of thought too quickly, Wang Zheng didn't understand it too much, and asked suspiciously, "What does Director Xu mean?"

Xu Ke took a sip of red wine and explained: "In the Xiangjiang film industry, Director Wang is the one who is prepared, and a "True Colors of Heroes" has broken many box office records, and those who are not prepared will only opportunistically follow this type of gunfight film, but they don't know how to create new themes, which is the sadness of Xiangjiang films, and at the same time it is an opportunity for our directors, only by constantly innovating, we have the opportunity to climb to the top of the pyramid." ”

Xu Laowei's whimsical analysis stunned Wang Zheng for a long time, although his words were based on a personal point of view, they were also appropriate to describe the rise and fall of Xiangjiang Xiangjiang movies.

The golden age of Xiangjiang films was created by the innovation of hundreds of film companies, and when the pioneering and innovative ideas dried up and the major film companies only knew how to follow the trend, the decline of Xiangjiang films would come.

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he filled himself with a glass of red wine, and drank it dry in one gulp, Wu Yusen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wenguang, don't drink it yet, I have something to discuss with Ah Zheng today." ”

"It's not too late for me to finish this drink. Xu Ke ignored Wu Yusen's dissuasion, poured himself another glass, and still took one sip, like a cow drink.

Wang Zheng felt that Xu Ke's state today didn't seem to be quite right, and looked at Wu Yusen with an inquiring gaze, who also looked puzzled.

Two glasses of red wine were in his stomach, Xu Ke's face was already the color of wine, in order to prevent him from continuing to drink like a cow, Wang Zheng took out the cigars he brought.

Xu Ke's eyes lit up visibly when he saw the Cuban cigar, and he was not polite, skillfully cutting off the cigarette butt, and soon began to swallow the clouds and puff out the smoke. He spit out his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and said: "I am here today, in addition to the fact that this is the tallest building in Xiangjiang, there is another intention." ”

Wang Zheng handed Wu Yusen a cigar and lit one himself, he wanted to ask Xu Ke about another intention, but before the words could be spoken, he was choked by the strong smoke of the cigar and coughed, but this body had never smoked a cigar.

Seeing Wang Zheng's embarrassment, Xu Ke laughed and said, "Because this is the Xiangjiang branch of the Bank of China." ”

Wang Zheng wiped the tears choked out of his eyes and said, "What is the purpose of this, I knew it before I came up." ”

Xu Ke smiled faintly: "The entire Central business district is full of high-rise buildings, but the tallest building is a Chinese company, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" this time it was Wu Yusen who asked first.

Xu Ke stood up, looked at the endless lights of the Xiangjiang River, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "It means that the poor and backward mainland will catch up with the Xiangjiang sooner or later, the most ridiculous thing is that those directors and actors who look down on the mainland, go to the mainland to film either prevaricate or play a big name, but I don't know that the mainland has a billion audience flow, what is the concept of the film market with a billion viewers, I don't think it will take a few years, those so-called Hua Dan Xiaosheng, have to go to the mainland to make a living." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke already had such an awareness now, Wang Zheng agreed: "Well said, I guess the completion of this building must be a wake-up call from the mainland to the 5 million people in Xiangjiang, no matter how strong Britain is, the motherland's efforts have never stopped." ”

Xu Ke turned around, looked at Wang Zheng, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Director Wang thinks so, it's really the same as the hero, I have always wanted to go to the mainland to shoot a movie, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable opportunity." ”

Wang Zhengwan said with a smile: "Then I will be much luckier than Director Xu, my next two film plans will go to the mainland to shoot, just because I am going to the mainland, so I want to invite Director Xu to serve as the producer of "The True Color of Heroes 2". ”

Xu Ke was stunned after hearing this, and said: "Thank you Director Wang for your attention, I like the play "The True Colors of Heroes" very much, and I am also willing to join the production team of the sequel story, but I don't hide it, since the establishment of the film studio last year, the box office of "Shanghai Night" produced by the film studio is not very ideal, and the studio's investor, Boss Lei, is already a little dissatisfied with me. ”

It's really difficult to offend the boss, Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "The studio joining the sequel production team may make Boss Lei dissatisfied, but if Director Xu joins in his own name, I think Boss Lei shouldn't be so unkind, as long as Director Xu is willing to join in, whether it is Shaw Brothers or Zheng Fei Xingwei, they can give Director Xu absolute creative dominance, and there will be corresponding box office dividends." ”

Xu Ke didn't refuse immediately after hearing this time, but pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, Director Wang's conditions are very tempting, but I still need to think about it. ”

Wang Zheng wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Wu Yusen, who understood Xu Ke very well.

Wu Yusen said: "Wenguang, don't think about it for too long, the continuation team has been built, and we may start it at any time." ”

"Don't worry, give me three days, and I'll reply in three days. ”

Afterwards, the three of them sat around the campfire, smoking and drinking, and chatting about the development direction of Hong Kong films, until the wine bottle bottomed out and the night was dark, and this unique meeting ended.

asked Xu Ke to be the producer of "The True Colors of Heroes 2", Wang Zheng felt that it was the same without him at first, but after listening to his unique insights tonight, the position of the producer is really his, "The True Colors of Heroes" was originally produced by a film studio, and he just took this opportunity to return it to him.
