Chen Lang's eyes lit up when he saw the script handed over by Wang Jing, because Chen Lang had seen this movie in his previous life.

The content of this movie is actually very ordinary, and in Chen Lang's opinion, it can even be said to be old-fashioned.

Chen Lipin, the only son of Hawaii oil tycoon, is shy by nature, in order to chase his girlfriend, he had to ask his childhood playmate Lolanto for advice, and invited him to Hawaii to help find a marriage partner.

Soon, Li and Lolanto were ordered to return to Hong Kong to investigate the manager's fraud, and when they returned to the company, their identities were misunderstood, and they became drivers.

At this time, the company came to a glamorous public relations manager Yun Piaopiao, specializing in dealing with the two, Yun first exposed the identities of the two and attacked Li and separated his relationship with Mei, and at the same time announced that he was going to marry Li, Lolanto and the cat did not know what Yun did, trying to obstruct and change Li's original intention.

In the end, after some ridiculous resistance and struggle, the conspiracy was finally exposed, and the lovers finally became married.

From Chen Lang's point of view, the story of this movie is very old-fashioned, the production is not very good, and I don't know how long it took Wang Jing to finish filming, Chen Lang watched this movie for two main reasons.

The first and main reason is that this movie gathers three beauties, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin and Maggie Cheung.

Although the three at this time are far from the alluring style of their maturity, Maggie Cheung only won the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in 1983, this movie is her film debut, and the youth in the movie can be seen at a glance.

Guan Zhilin and Maggie Cheung have not debuted for too long, but with the three beauties of Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, the attraction is extremely strong.

The second reason is because this movie was ranked among the top ten highest-grossing movies in Hong Kong in 1984 and was one of Wang Jing's early highest-grossing romance movies.

Although the script is slightly different from the movies I have seen, the main story line is not different.

"There are five heroes and heroines here, who are you going to look for to play?" Chen Lang looked at the familiar script and asked with a smile.

"The actor Chen Lipin I plan to find Zhong Zhentao to play, although the Wen Na band has disbanded, but Zhong Zhentao has maintained his popularity because of his handsome appearance, and he has become a public lover because of Qiong Yao's movie in Taiwan two years ago, and last year he attracted much attention because of a "Seven Days of Wrong Love", plus he just won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, and he is in the limelight, which can definitely attract many fans." Wang Jing recommended with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Lang didn't speak, Wang Jing had no choice but to continue, "The heroine is played by Honggu Zhong Chuhong, she has received a lot of praise for several movies, although "Interstellar Blunt Fetus" failed miserably, but I believe it will not affect her charm, hehehe......"

Wang Jing knew the relationship between Chen Lang and Zhong Chuhong, so he finally squeezed his eyebrows and laughed, but Chen's father also knew the relationship between the two, so he looked at his son, Chen Lang was a little embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times and signal Wang Jing.

Wang Jing saw Chen Lang's eyes tilted towards Chen's father, and instantly understood, and continued with a smile, "Catboy, I recommend Maggie Cheung, the runner-up of last year's Miss Hong Kong, although she has almost no acting skills, but she is still qualified to be a vase." ”

"Male No. 2 lolanto, I think Chen Baixiang will play it, because of the popularity of "Happy Ghost", I believe that he will definitely be able to play this funny role, and it can also attract a lot of fans. The role of Yun Piaopiao was handed over to Guan Zhilin, and I was also entrusted by others. Wang Jing finished talking about the candidate in his mind.

"Oh? Who recommended Guan Zhilin? Has our film company also caught everyone's attention? Chen Lang was very happy to hear this, popularity and trust are very important for film companies.

"Well, this ...... This is mainly because the recommended person took a fancy to my directing ability. Wang Jing said embarrassedly when she heard this.

Chen Lang looked embarrassed when he heard this, but Chen's father, the driver and Xu Fang couldn't help laughing.

"Of course, LL Film Company has also attracted a lot of attention, after all, the opening work "Happy Ghost" has won a box office of 17.15 million Hong Kong dollars, and this opening achievement has not even reached the New Art City." Wang Jing said with a smile when she saw Chen Lang's embarrassment.

"Okay, except for Maggie Cheung, the other role arrangements are fine." Chen Lang quickly diverted the topic.

"Why? So who's going to star in the catboy? Wang Jing frowned when she heard this.

"Of course it's Li Lizhen, can you use the people in your own company?" Chen Lang said angrily.

"Oh, but Maggie Cheung also signed a contract with wireless, and it was Aunt Fang who recommended her to join the crew." Wang Jing was also a little helpless.

"Will Shaw Brothers invest in the movie "The Frog Prince"?" Chen Lang frowned and asked.

"It seems to have an investment meaning, but it's not very strong." Wang Jing said.

Chen Lang was a little angry when he heard this, he really wanted to make money and make himself popular as a newcomer, killing two birds with one stone, "Maggie Cheung can also star in it, but Shaw Brothers can't invest in this movie, and our ll film company is completely alone." ”

Wang Jing turned around directly when she heard Chen Lang's words, and looked at Chen Lang gratefully, making Chen Lang a little baffled.

To be honest, investing in movies is actually similar to gambling, and no one can guarantee that the audience's tastes are completely thorough, otherwise there would not be so many investment cases without a return.

Although Wang Jing also has several blockbuster movies, and has entered the ranks of tens of millions of directors in one fell swoop because of "Happy Ghost", Wang Jing knows how important Chen Lang's script plays.

Now Chen Lang can only look at his script and want to shoot it with full funding, and after cooperating with Chen Lang in "Happy Ghost", Wang Jing knows what kind of rights he can get.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Aunt Fang, Shaw's investment idea is not strong, and the biggest hope is to launch Maggie Cheung, a newcomer, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Jing's face, I will do things, you can rest assured.

"That's good, by the way, how is the overseas distribution of "Happy Ghost"?" Chen Lang asked with concern.

Overseas distribution has become an important part of Hong Kong's film revenue, and a few years later, as Hong Kong stars are getting paid more and more, the cost of making films has also risen.

It may be that half of the funds for a film with a total investment of 20 million are used to pay the salaries of the big names in the movie, and only half is left to make the movie.

At that time, it is already difficult to make a profit only with the Hong Kong box office, and it has even become very difficult to recover costs, and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan outside Hong Kong will become the box office for Hong Kong films to truly achieve profitability, and even become the main source of money for Hong Kong films.

The box office outside Hong Kong is the pillar of Hong Kong film revenue, especially Taiwan's box office accounts for the vast majority of Hong Kong films, which is one of the reasons why Hong Kong's major film companies attach great importance to the Taiwan market.

Of course, this also caused Taiwan to invade/produce Hong Kong films and relax restrictions on Hollywood films, as well as after Southeast Asian countries released their own film protection policies, which directly led to the decline of Hong Kong films, and when Chen Lang was reborn, it was always at the bottom and did not turn over.

"Overseas distribution has long been contacted, and now Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries are releasing "Happy Ghost" at the same time, and the box office is very hot, and Shaw Brothers is still contacting South Korea and Japan to strive to be able to release it in these two countries." Wang Jing smiled, obviously the big hit of "Happy Ghost" made him very happy as a director.

"That's good." Chen Lang was also very happy when he heard this.

Chen Lang is happy not because he can earn millions from the overseas distribution of films, but because Chen Lang is very satisfied with the distribution ability of Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Southeast Asia, and now Shaw Brothers is still contacting the distribution of South Korea and Japan, which is even more satisfying to Chen Lang.

Obviously, the stronger the distribution ability of Shaw Brothers, the happier Chen Lang is, because it means that the foundation of LL Film Company will be stronger in the future.

"Director Wang, can you introduce me to the planning of a TV show?" Chen Lang suddenly remembered his mission.

"TV show planning?" Wang Jing looked puzzled, "Lang Lang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to do the planning of the TV show." Chen Lang shrugged.

"Lang Lang, I know you're a genius, but you're too greedy, don't talk about singing, just say that ll film company has just been established and got off to a good start, and you're going to switch to TV production now?" Wang Jing said angrily.

In Wang Jing's expectation, after his contract with wireless expires, he will join LL Film Company, according to Chen Lang's revelation, he is likely to get shares of the company, or will set up his own studio, so Wang Jing is now bent on wanting LL Film Company to develop and grow, so that he can obtain more benefits.

Chen Lang is indeed a genius, of course, the talent recognized by Wang Jing is Chen Lang's screenwriting ability, and Chen Lang is also a person who knows how to delegate power, is willing to invest, and will not interfere with people who do not know how to pretend to understand, this is the best film investor and script provider in Wang Jing's opinion, such a boss is not easy to find, so it is natural to seize it.

Now that his best boss is actually going to be out of business, what should he do in the future where he imagines Chen Lang to write scripts, shoot by himself, and make a lot of money from movies together?

"No, it's just a program planner, I haven't thought of involving TV program production yet, it's just writing a plan." Chen Lang explained, "But this planner must be kept secret, this plan is very important to the company." ”

"That's fine." Wang Jing was relieved when she heard this, "And there are good things waiting for you when you return to the company." ”

"What's good?"

"You'll know when you get to the company."
