Chapter 62: The Kowloon Walled City (I)
The next day, as soon as he came to the company, Xu Jing devoted himself to the initial cutting of "King Haibian".
Speaking of which, the post-production of "King Haibian" began as early as the filming process, and some of the shots that needed to use special effects and insert animations had already been selected, which is why the Hollywood team was able to leave early.
But even so, because a lot of changes have been made compared to the original "King of the Sea", and there are many scenes that are not or changed in the original film, the post-production of "The King of the Sea" takes a lot of energy compared to "The Killer", and it cannot be sloppy.
Time passed in a flash, and when he looked at his watch, it was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Jingfang put down the work in his hand.
"Hey, Xiao Jing, is there anything important tomorrow?" When Xu Jing left the editing room, he happened to meet Lin Jianguo, who was about to go back to the office, and was immediately stopped by him.
"No, what's wrong? Xu Jing thought for a while and said.
"There was a notice from the Electrical Inspection Office that we were going to attend. After entering the office, Lin Jianguo took out a document and said with a little worry: "I don't know if it will have any impact on our movie." ”
The Electrical Inspection Department mentioned by Lin Jianguo is the Film Censorship Branch of the Entertainment Affairs Management Division of the Television and Entertainment Management Office of the British Government of Hong Kong, and is the film censorship agency of Hong Kong.
Xu Jing took a look, but it was a seminar on the legislation of the film classification system in Xiangjiang, requiring all film production companies to send people to participate, Jiuzhou Company just completed the filming of "King Haibian", the film has not yet been submitted for review, but it will be classified, Lin Jianguo can't help but feel a worry in his heart.
"Don't worry, uncle, it shouldn't have much impact, let's go together tomorrow." Xu Jing thought about it, and the prosperity of Xiangjiang movies seemed to start with film classification, and he was relieved at the moment.
"Done. Oh, and there's good news. Lin Jianguo added: "The Asian copyright of "Hitman" has basically been sold, and the mainland distribution has also negotiated with the Yindu organization, and I don't know how many copies can be sold in the mainland. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Jianguo immediately put a smile on his face, although the Asian copyright fee of "Killer" is far higher than that of Western places, it has also sold nearly 30 million, plus the 8 million mainland copyright fee of the Yindu Organization and the local box office share of Xiangjiang, this is only a movie, but the income is several times higher than the thousands of dollars he earned from smuggling in the early years, and he can't help but be unhappy in his heart.
After chatting in Lin Jiangguo's office for about ten minutes, Xu Jing left the company and drove straight to Paul's School. The schedule of Xiangjiang Middle School is different from that of the mainland, it is very early, and it usually ends school at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which is also the time when Zhou Xiaoxun and Lin Qingqing leave school.
"Big Mai, why are you here!" What Xu Jing didn't expect was that there was a traffic jam on the road, and when he came to school, Zhou Xiaoxun had been waiting for a long time, but Lin Qingqing was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for a long time, Zhou Xiaoxun couldn't help but complain a little when he saw him.
"It's a traffic jam, hehe. Xu Jing was a little reluctant, and smiled: "What about Qingqing?"
Qingqing said that she would go to the play party first and go home by herself later. Zhou Xiaoxun got into the passenger seat and sat down, and said.
"Is she still going to play today?" Xu Jing couldn't help frowning, and then suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiaoxun had said that Lin Qingqing seemed to be procrastinating.
Xu Jing was somewhat curious about Lin Qingqing's affairs, it is said that she was introverted and reserved, and she had always been quiet at school, and she had never even heard that she had any good friends at school, so how could she be dragged along with others?
"Sit down, let's go back first. Xu Jing leaned over, pulled out his seat belt, and fastened Zhou Xiaoxun, saying.
Because there was some traffic jam on the road when he came, Xu Jing thought about it, so he drove the car directly and took another road.
"Big barley, let me tell you, our school cafeteria has changed to an uncle to cook, and the dishes are super unpalatable, more unpalatable than what you make... And also... "Along the way, last week, Xiaoxun began to talk about all kinds of things in the school again, and from time to time he had to bring Xu Jing, or 'praise' or complain about a sentence or two, but it made Xu Jing a little embarrassed.
"Look, Qingqing!" Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoxun pushed Xu Jing's shoulder, pointed ahead and shouted.
Xu Jing looked intently and saw a slender figure under the eaves of the street more than 100 meters away, carrying a small backpack and wearing a British school uniform, which looked bright and eye-catching. Beside her was another figure, emaciated, wearing a voluminous T-shirt and jeans, with short dyed blonde hair, looking like a troubled young man no matter how she looked.
In a few moments, the two entered an alley.
Xu Jing frowned, stepped on the accelerator under his feet, came to the place where the two disappeared, braked, parked, looked over, and saw that the alley was less than two meters wide, and a signboard was hung above a store inside, which read: 'Kowloon Walled City Owners Association'.
"Xiaomi, you wait for me in the car, remember, don't run around!" Xu Jing said, and then after Zhou Xiaoxun nodded for a while, he got out of the car and chased in.
Entering the alley less than 30 meters, surrounded by floors, the light is suddenly dim, like a dark night, only a few orange street lamps reflect the outline of the alleys, there are piles of garbage on the side, mosquitoes and flies flying, and a foul smell comes to the face.
Xu Jing didn't care about this, and went forward for more than ten meters, and came to the intersection of several alleys, only to see that several alleys led to four different directions, and there were other alleys in the middle, like a maze of spider webs.
Xu Jing swept away, and finally found the figures of the two at the end of an alley, and the two figures turned again and turned into another alley. Xu Jing pulled out his legs and chased after him again.
Seeing that he was about to come to the end of the alley, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner, and hit Xu Jing directly, Xu Jing was anxious about Lin Qingqing at this time, and he couldn't care about anything else, he pressed the shoulder of the figure with one hand, and with a force, the man turned a corner and fell to the ground.
Just as Xu Jing was about to continue to chase forward, a tall strong man suddenly rushed out of the corner, under the dim light, the strong man's eyebrows were full of anger, a scar a few centimeters long on his cheek, a little hideous, followed by four or five slightly slower minions.
Xu Jing flicked again, and the strong man stumbled, and when he was about to fall down like the previous figure, he suddenly supported the ground with his hands, rolled beautifully, and stood up again, but he just frowned and glanced at Xu Jing's back, and then turned to the person who fell to the ground.
Xu Jing naturally didn't care about these people, and chased after Lin Qingqing's figure again, and there was a sound of punching and kicking and a wail behind him.
"Run, run again, hit the streets!"
"your mother!
"Pull his hands out and chop them up!"
