Chapter 421: Investors
Chapter 421 Investors
Hong Kong, Basic Pictures Film Company. [Big, book, bag, small, say, net.]
This time, Li Weiqiao, Mak Chaohui, and Zhuang Wenqiang gathered together, and after three days of modification, the script has been perfected very well. But at this moment, there was not a single smile visible on their three faces.
No investment can be found.
Now the Hong Kong film market is slumping year by year, and all major film and television companies do not touch these big productions, and invest in comedies and romance movies that can guarantee the box office.
In the past two days, Liu Weiqiao has also found some companies, but no one has taken over.
"Come to the mainland, you see that I and the Literary Association have done this! Hong Kong movies are going to die, what are you still struggling with?"
His good friend Wang Jing said so, and he was right. The current Hong Kong movies are sluggish and the box office is poor, and many people in the film and television industry think that this is a sunset industry.
So some changed careers one after another, while others went north and turned to the mainland, and Wang Jing was the latter.
Liu Weiqiao also knew that what the other party said was correct, the best partner film company founded by him, the Literary Association, and Wang Jing was disbanded the year before the previous year against the background of the depression of the Hong Kong film market.
The other two have achieved good results, and after the Literary Association entered the mainland, "My Brothers and Sisters", which served as the producer, won 20 million at the box office last year, ranking third in the annual box office.
Wang Jing plays romantic comedy movies, works for other companies, and gets directorial fees, but he is also aiming at the mainland market.
And Liu Weiqiang became an executive of a company after the film company was dissolved. But he still has a glimmer of hope for Hong Kong movies, Oriental Hollywood, how can it be said that if it declines, it will decline?
Therefore, after hearing Mak Chaohui's script, he resolutely set up this basic film production company despite the dissuasion and ridicule of others.
However, he also has no money, otherwise investing himself would be an option. Now the company is not open in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, and the same is the reason.
This is located in the northwest of Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong, south of Jordan Valley, east of Kowloon Bay, west of Sau Mau Ping at No. 183 Kai Cheung Road, Ngau Tau Kok.
On the sixth floor of a small, dilapidated and gray building, there was no modern renovation, just a simple painting of the walls and floors. The only thing that can be used is the leather swivel chair that Liu Weiqiao bought for 800 Hong Kong dollars under his buttocks.
The sign hanging at the door is not the signboard of the basic film, but "Silly Qiang Film Company", Silly Qiang, which is the name of Liu Weiqiang in private. If it weren't for the little gold man trophies of the Hong Kong Film Awards on the shelves in the room, no one would have thought that the person here was actually a famous Hong Kong director.
"Zhaohui, you might as well call and ask Du Qifeng, don't you say that he encouraged you to write the script at the beginning! Maybe he is optimistic about this play, even if his Galaxy Image does not personally invest, someone will give him face, you might as well try it!"
After the three of them stared at each other for a long time, Liu Weiqiao suddenly said. He really wanted to make this movie, and this was his last insistence.
If you can't make it or the results are not good, you are ready to say goodbye to the movie from now on.
"Okay!"
As the main writer of the script, Mak Chiu-fai certainly hopes to bring this play to the screen, and his expectations are stronger than that of Lau Weiqiang.
Radio waves go back and forth in situations that are invisible to the naked eye and at speeds that are unimaginable.
"How?"
Seeing Mak Zhaohui put down the phone and frowned, Liu Weiqiang and Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't hold back the curiosity and apprehension in their hearts.
"It's strange, he asked us to find Anita Mui! It seems that he is not optimistic about police movies either!"
The answer that Mai Zhaohui wanted to hear was that Du Qifeng agreed to invest, but he didn't want the other party to give him to Mei Yanshu. What does that mean? Anita Mui doesn't have a film company under her name.
"Ah, I see! Looks like we're not on the right track!"
Liu Weiqiao slapped his palm.
"What? I haven't figured it out yet!"
"Director Du asked us to find Amei, but in fact, he didn't let us find Amei! Our drama is obviously a big production, but now looking at Hong Kong film companies, which one has such courage?
Therefore, we are looking for investors who must be bold and not afraid of losing money!
Looking at the doubts of Mak Chaohui and the others, Liu Weiqiao took the initiative to explain.
"I know, it's not Amei, it's Ye Luo!"
Zhuang Wenqiang also reacted at this moment, there are many rich people, but there are very few people who are not afraid of losing money, and even fewer people who are rich and are not afraid of losing money and have a film company under their names. Looking at the entire film and television industry, is there anything more suitable for this role than Ye Luo?
"Ye Luo, hey, why did you forget him!"
Mak Chaohui rubbed his hands, a little difficult to hide his excitement. All three of them have entered a puzzle, and they have only seen Hong Kong, but have not jumped out of this circle to find investment.
This can't be wrong, who let the mainland have few film companies in the past? But now it's different, Ye Luo threw out 200 million yuan, equivalent to 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, to invest in "Hero" last year, which is the biggest move so far.
From this point, it can be seen that this Ye Xiaowang doesn't care much about losing money. Also, people are worth billions, and there are many companies under their names, and their families are engaged in real estate, which is a small amount of money.
"It's just that Amei is having a concert now, will it disturb people if we go to her?"
At this time, Zhuang Wenqiang raised another question.
"Hahaha, this, you're wrong again! Director Du said let me find Amei, not that I must find Amei, we can go directly to Ye Luo!
After all, it's better for the two sides to face each other in the negotiation! I think he still knows me, no matter how bad it is, just give Amei a phone call and convey it!"
Liu Weiqiao's heart was very clear at the moment, because he could imagine that Ye Luo would not refuse him. As a director who won the Hong Kong Film Awards, it would be too bad if he didn't even have this confidence.
"Okay, so when are we leaving?"
Mak Zhaohui was a little impatient, and Zhuang Wenqiang was also ready to move.
"Now, I'll take a leave of absence from the company, you two go back and clean up, and we'll go to the airport! No problem, right?"
"Of course!"
This script is the result of the cooperation of the three people, and of course they all hope to shoot as soon as possible. And this is a genre that no one has touched for many years, and now it is opened in my own hands, and I don't know how much impact it has on Hong Kong movies.
Under the starry sky, the capital is particularly beautiful. And on a beautiful night, beautiful things will naturally happen.
"Hey—lighter, really, why aren't you satisfied, your legs are sore. ”
Feeling Ye Luo's bad hand sliding down the mountain peak to the bottom of the valley, rubbing the most sensitive red bean at the root of her leg, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but tremble, and the pretty face of the red cloud was suddenly dyed with morning glow again.
As soon as the prince returned to the capital as soon as he got off the plane, he turned over her sign.
I just experienced a gut war, and I can't help but tease a little. Under the gentle friction of Ye Luo's bad hand, honey rose in the stamens again, and the legs were reflexively clamped, but they still couldn't stop the other party's movement.
was so angry that she couldn't help but glance back, but in Ye Luo's opinion, this action was undoubtedly a clarion call to charge. The moment is to turn over and attack, which is always a man's favorite.
The fat two shell doors were pushed open again by the bald monk, and without saying hello, he rushed into it without knowing the severity.
"Hmm-"
Suddenly, the sound of weeping came out again in the quiet of the night, and the moon bent down in shame, and the stars blinked. Fortunately, a cloud floated through, covering the two white flesh that were intertwined.
It's no wonder that Ye Luo doesn't know how to thrift, it's really the other party's snow-white plumpness, soft silkiness, delicate cheeks, moist secluded/valley, tactful cry, red and tender lips and indescribable sense of conquest, all of which made him fascinated.
The repeated attacks and retreats back and forth made the bodies of the two warm up in the rapid friction, and the voices also changed tones, intermittently, as if there was nothing.
In the end, Jiang Qinqin's only remaining strength was also taken away by Ye Luo, her head was tilted back, her hands couldn't be held, and her legs couldn't be clamped tightly. was held by the other party, and the whole person was like a boat in a storm, fluttering and unable to get to the shore.
"Brother, you really want someone's life—"
Finally, when he reached the top of the clouds, he trembled and released the seeds of life.
Ye Luo smiled proudly, although the other party was six years older than him, but in bed, there was also a place to call his father, let alone his brother.
In the "angry" glaring of the beautiful woman, the other party's paralyzed body was carried to the bathroom, but kneading and rubbing were still indispensable in the process.
Jiang Qinqin returned to Beijing this time because "Returning the Pearl 3" was about to start, and she had a role to play in it this time. And as an artist of Qiong Yao Shanghai Zhongjie Culture Company, she was naturally indispensable at the opening ceremony.
It's just that I don't know, after a few "hard" battles, whether I will be able to recover my strength tomorrow morning, hey, what a real enemy.
This drama still has something to do with Ye Luo, and Qin Lan under the Phantom will also play one of the "Zhihua" roles in the emotional entanglement between Xiaoyanzi and the fifth elder brother this time.
Although Xiaoyanzi, Er Kang, Ziwei and others have changed, this drama still can't avoid the rhythm of fire, and the foundation is too good.
Ye Luo, of course, wants to stuff a few of the company's artists into it. At least in his opinion, Huang Yi, Commander Ma, and Wang Yan can all be replaced by people from their own company, and there will be no problems with their acting skills.
It's a pity that I touched a nose of ash at Qiong Yao, and the old lady didn't eat oil and salt, and she was very stubborn. In the end, Ye Luo could only hand over Qin Lan to Ouyang Changlin to talk about it, and he couldn't even keep the original person.
