These two questions were very oppressive, so that Gao Zhisen's face turned a little pale, but he still nodded insistently: "Yes, Mr. Li, I want to ...... I want to direct Happy Ghost. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Then he chattered, what he thought, how long he had been studying this book, what he would do if he was a director, and so on.

Li Xu didn't interrupt him, just listened to him say this, and reminded him to drink water halfway.

After Gao Zhisen finished speaking, he asked again: "Do you really want to direct this play?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Lee." Gao Zhisen licked his lips uneasily.

Then, to his surprise, Li Xu put his hands on the same page: "Okay, then you can direct." ”

"Really...... It's true? Gao Zhisen's eyes widened.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Li Xu smiled, "Do you have any good candidates for the actor?" ”

"Yes!" Gao Zhisen replied, "Ah Nag is very suitable...... well, it's Chen Baixiang, he is very talented in comedy, I have seen several movies I participated in last year, and the price is not expensive, as for a few little girls, ......"

"Needless to say, I have my own arrangements." Li Xu immediately interrupted.

Gao Zhisen paused for a few seconds, reacted, and didn't mention this anymore: "Okay, Mr. Li, then I'll go out." ”

"That's it, remember to make me a budget." Li Xu nodded.

Gao Zhisen only left on the front foot, and another person came on the back foot, and he was also familiar with Gao Zhisen, the famous Lin Lingdong.

"Mr. Li, this is the budget I made." He came and handed over a document directly.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." Li Xu flipped through a few pages, then smiled, and while continuing to flip through the pages, he handed a document to his hand.

Lin Lingdong was a little strange, but he didn't say much, he took it and looked at it, and after only a few glances, a cold sweat broke out.

"Don't be nervous, Adong, you're doing a good job." Li Xu, who continued to read, said with a smile, "Although there are discrepancies, they are basically within a reasonable range." ”

Lin Lingdong laughed dryly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and what he was holding in his hand was also a budget, which was the budget for the movie he was about to direct.

And it's more detailed than the budget he made, accurate to two decimal places, and even how much to use in a certain period, in this case, isn't it funny to let him make a budget!

But in just a few minutes, Lin Lingdong reacted, and immediately put away his dissatisfied look and became more respectful.

Li Xu, who was paying attention to Lin Lingdong while looking at the budget, chuckled in his heart and nodded slightly.

The reason why he did this was very simple, that is, to warn, and to see which guy dared to jump out and brush his beard, so that the other party would know what the punishment of the capitalists tasted like.

As mentioned earlier, Li Xu doesn't care about spending money, but it doesn't mean that he likes to be wronged, the world is big, and the face is the biggest, whoever makes me uncomfortable for a while, I make anyone uncomfortable for the rest of my life.

No matter where there is, there are cats, after all, between XX and XX, of course, the most important thing is whether I am happy or not, and the movie crew is no exception.

For example, the other party did not send the ordered clothes, something went wrong, and I had to find someone again, but I just got the money, and the previous one sent the clothes again, what can I do at this time? Of course, it's privately divided, at most it's a financial share.

This kind of loss is not big, and it is generally discovered by the producers, as long as these people are not excessive, or they need to sacrifice the flag, most of them will turn a blind eye.

For Hong Kong films, it is more important than anything else to finish filming in theaters, you see Hollywood doesn't do that, Hollywood prefers to make fake accounts, this is tradition.

Therefore, if Li Xuguang spends money and doesn't ask where it is used, someone will definitely use a movie that can be done for 6 million yuan and offer 8 million or even 10 million to cheat money.

According to the current situation, there will only be more and more crews that will not be asked about in the future, so from now on, every time a crew is established, he will let the person in charge make his own budget, and then he will make another budget in private. Just like Lin Lingdong, the same is true for letting Gao Zhisen go back to make a budget before, which is nothing more than spending some time and money.

As long as the difference is not big, Li Xu doesn't care, if the difference is too big...... Fortunately, so far, these people are still honest.

However, there will always be dishonest people, such as Wanwan, there is a group of fools who are trying to cheat him out of money in this way, which is really self-defeating.

"So be it." After looking at the budget, Li Xu said, "No problem." ”

"Okay, Mr. Lee." Lin Lingdong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way," Li Xu thought of something, "the heroine is okay, right?" ”

"Hmm...... No problem," Lin Lingdong hesitated, "Miss Wang's hard photos are very stylish, she is simply a female ghost tailored for the movie, as long as she shows one-third of the temperament in the photo in front of the camera, I can complete the movie very well." ”

"No problem, Xiaoxian can do it," Li Xu nodded, "However, you can ignore other aspects, but in the performance and filming, it is necessary to reprimand or even scold, there is no need to worry." Although Xiaoxian has studied acting in the United States for a long time, he is still a newcomer, so he needs to suffer a little, understand? ”

"Understood, Mr. Lee." Lin Lingdong took a deep breath, and although he was a little embarrassed, he still responded.

"Don't worry, I will tell Xiaoxian to be obedient and won't cause you trouble." Li Xu said leisurely, obviously knowing what he was worried about.

The words are all here, what else can Lin Lingdong say, he can only say that he will definitely work hard and leave the office.

Xiaoxian is almost ready to debut, although she is a little young, but Li Xu is not ready to give her too difficult roles, she just needs to be a quiet and beautiful female ghost in the movie.

Of course, the movie she is preparing is not "A Chinese Ghost Story", which she can't control, even if Xu Ke directs and tells her about it, she still needs to sharpen it.

And this prepared movie can be regarded as the pioneering work of Hong Kong's urban female ghosts, called "Yin and Yang Wrong".

It was not written by Li Xu with a screenwriter, but inadvertently fell into his hands, because his film fund invested in a series of blockbusters such as "Pretty Girl", "Running to the Angry Sea" and "Seven Days of Wrong Love", and many screenwriters are contributing, delusionally wanting to be as popular as those.

Although the investment of the film fund is actually mostly loss-making, people's eyes will be placed on the high box office of those movies.

Li Xu doesn't care, as long as the fund keeps its balance in balance, it's just a trick out to play anyway, and every once in a while, he will collect and flip through the scripts to see if he can pick up the leaks - that's how "Seven Days of Love" came about-and then he felt that a script called "Human and Ghost Love" was a little familiar.

Of course, it is impossible to open these collected scripts in detail, and they are all attached to the outline under the name, as well as the highlights listed by the screeners of the film fund. Li Xu threw it away if he was not interested, and if he was interested, he asked people to get the script over and read it in detail, so "Human and Ghost Love" came to the front.

Although the content is only about 60% similar to "Yin and Yang Error", it still awakened Li Xu's memory for the first time.

The pioneering work of urban female ghosts, the supporting actress with short hair "Xu Xian", not to mention these, the most ridiculous thing is that this movie has changed a total of five directors and used seven photographers, and during the filming, the wives of five staff members were pregnant, and they all had miscarriages at the same time.

In addition, there are people injured or something, with the superstition of Hong Kong people, they naturally want to find Wong Tai Sin to calculate, and then change the name of the movie from "Human Ghost Love" to "Yin and Yang Wrong", and then changed the director several times and changed it to "Wonderful", but when it was released, it was changed back again, and I don't know what these people are thinking.

Because the content is very different, Li Xu is not sure whether it is "Yin and Yang Wrong", so he found the screenwriter, and as soon as he found it, it was basically confirmed.

The one who threw the script over was Liang Puzhi, the screenwriter of Xinyicheng, and this guy was the first screenwriter and director of "Yin and Yang Wrong" in another time and space.

This guy is a 39-year-old man, who studied in London like Wu Yaohan and worked at the BBC. After returning to Hong Kong, he went to TVB as a choreographer and director, and directed his debut film "Jumping Ashes" in 76.

However, although Liang Puzhi's resume is good, his status in the circle is not very high, and Li Xu once saw a very interesting gossip about him and Xinyicheng in his previous life.

When Xinyicheng was first established, there were seven monsters, and it was mainly based on commercial films, so the script and production were all discussed by seven people, and then handed over to others to complete, and they could not be overcome.

Not to mention the speed and mediocrity of their approach, it does have a very assembly line flavor, and it is quite similar to Li Xu's current approach, but it is not so exaggerated, and the detailed storyboard is not done well.

Even so, some directors will still be dissatisfied with this situation, Liang Puzhi is one of them, everything is condemned to death, how do you want them to play? If it's a big guy like Li Xu, it's okay to say, as soon as the money and power fall down, you have to admit it if you don't admit it, but how old are Huang Baiming?

So during a directing, because he was constantly interfered with, he suddenly quit in the middle of filming, got up from the director's chair and brushed his sleeves away, and then waited for someone to coax him.

It's a pity, the Seven Monsters of New Art City can't be written, acted, or directed? Teddy Robin, who was the producer, sat directly in the director's chair and directed, so Liang Puzhi had to come back honestly the next day to continue directing.

Therefore, Li Xu didn't have a word of superfluity, and directly told him that he was going to buy out the script, and the overall idea was good, but the content had to be greatly changed.

Of course Liang Puzhi is unwilling, but the problem is that he is not the original author of the script, he is just a trick and voted for the film fund for the original author, wanting to make a movie for New Art City like Wu Yusen under the pseudonym Wu Shangfei.

So Li Xu bought it easily, and then waited until now, when Wang Qixian was a year older again, he pulled up Lin Lingdong and Gao Zhisen, the original crew in the preparation period.

Since she will definitely be Xiaoqian, it is better to become the spokesperson of female ghosts in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
