"Wanyao, you take a look at this script, and the revision has finally been completed, this should be satisfactory to you." Luo Qirui almost rushed out of the study, holding a stack of freshly completed script drafts in his hand and said to Zhang Wanyao.

"Ah, this time it's so fast, suddenly inspiration bursts out, and thoughts are springing up?" Zhang Wanyao took the script with a smile, opened it and looked at it carefully, and after reading a few pages, she said: "Qirui, it's really good, the life and psychology of smugglers are described very realistically, and only if you have really lived abroad and come into contact with a large number of such people, can you write such a good book." Take this to make a graduation project, you will definitely get a high score, it's really hard for you. ”

Luo Qirui and Zhang Wanyao are classmates in the film department of New York University, because both of them were in Hong Kong, and they were peers before, and after getting along with each other over time, they have developed into boyfriend and girlfriend, and this graduation work is also agreed to be completed together.

Seeing that Zhang Wanyao was very satisfied with her script, Luo Qirui was also happy from the bottom of her heart, and said: "There is no need to say any words of thanks between us, besides, I also have a part in this graduation work, and I should work hard in all aspects." ”

How could Zhang Wanyao not know Luo Qirui's thoughts, in the past few years in the United States, she has always been accompanied by him, how can she not feel it. This time, Luo Qirui was obviously willing to be a screenwriter for her, which made her think that this man was reliable and responsible.

pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "I said hard for you because you gave up your directorial work to be a screenwriter for me, and it was your heart that worked hard." ”

"Hehe, they all said that we don't need to talk so much." Luo Qirui smiled stupidly: "Actually, I am also very satisfied with this revision. This should be a beautiful graduation project. ”

After a pause, he said, "It's good, but there are still a lot of things to do if you want to make a movie." It's easier to talk about actors, you can find classmates to participate together, and you can find someone to help with other work. It's just that the matter of funding is more troublesome, and I have to find a suitable investment producer, and I have been thinking about who to invest in the past two days. ”

"What's so troublesome about this, just take the script and go to the film company to talk about it, as long as the script is good enough. You can definitely find someone who has the vision and is willing to invest. And your script is so good, and the amount of investment we need is not very large, so it shouldn't be too difficult. If it really doesn't work, let's simplify the script a little bit and borrow money to shoot it. "Women sometimes don't want men to think about it so much, and Zhang Wanyao doesn't think it's such an esoteric thing to attract investment, don't many movies do this.

Luo Qirui saw that Zhang Wanyao didn't understand what he meant. Patience explained to her: "Wanyao. That being said, especially many movies in the United States are based on scripts to attract investment. But what we are facing is Hong Kong, have you thought about it, in fact, this movie is the key to our future, and maybe it will be a master key. But no matter how versatile this key is, it can only open one door.

So this key is very important, how to use it is even more crucial, we are like people who find the way in a maze. Which door is the right choice to open should be carefully considered. It's about how we go in the future. The key to whether or not you will go smoothly and get the kind of success you want. ”

Zhang Wanyao seemed to understand a little, but she didn't understand it very well, patted Luo Qirui on the shoulder, and said, "Isn't it just a graduation work, is it as mysterious as you said." Every year, I don't know how many people in the world graduate from film-related majors, and these people are going to have graduation works, and I haven't heard of anyone like you. ”

"It's not that I'm talking about mystery, but that others won't tell you even if they know about it." Luo Qirui plans to correct Zhang Wanyao's point of view from now on, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future, and said: "Think about it, we will definitely go back to Hong Kong to develop in the future, but do we have the money to make movies ourselves, obviously we don't have it, so we have to find a film company to take refuge, at least there must be a brokerage company to help us operate these things." ”

Zhang Wanyao nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is very right, so how can we find it." I worked at HKTEL for a while, and the people in it were quite familiar; You've also worked with Wireless for a while, so it shouldn't be difficult to talk, which one are we looking for? ”

Luo Qirui shook his head slightly, rejecting Zhang Wanyao's suggestion, and said: "No, HKTEL only produces a small number of TV series, and you have to get TVB and ATV to occupy other people's channel time for broadcasting, and you have no say at all in the film market, you won't want to go back to shoot TV series after studying for so many years." Even if you want to, you may not be able to do it, HKTEL only produces a few TV series a year, and it is not enough to divide more monks and less porridge. ”

"Then I have to go to wireless, wireless is big enough, I still have my own film company and theater chain, and it should be no problem to invest in a film." Zhang Wanyao made the simplest two-choice answer.

Luo Qirui denied it again and said: "Wireless is not good, and there is too little development space that Dian can give us." ”

At this time, Zhang Wanyao was a little unhappy, and said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then you talk about what to do, you can't stop shooting." ”

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet, why can't I." Luo Qirui had the courage to grab one of Zhang Wanyao's hands, and saw that the other party had no adverse reactions, so he continued: "Originally, this matter was not very troublesome, before Hong Kong was the two families of the Shan family and Golden Harvest to become bigger, if you don't choose this one, it is that, it is easy to choose one of the two." But now Hong Kong's film market has changed too much, it is the time for the heroes to compete with each other, we are like the plotters in the Warring States period, we must find a master who can achieve great things in the future, in order to be the most beneficial to our future. If we find the wrong one, it is not just a matter of a graduation work, it is likely that the future will be bumpy, and the fate will be full of twists and turns. ”

"Cut" Zhang Wanyao was a little disagreeable, and said: "If you say this, I think that the movie industry is completely impossible, it is simply life and death step by step." Lions, no, we will stay in the United States and develop, although the living environment here is more difficult. But there are plenty of opportunities. ”

Luo Qirui already had an idea, and continued to follow the temptation, saying, "You can't say that. As long as we choose the right one, the future will be smooth sailing, and it will not be too difficult to achieve fame. In fact, I have also done some understanding and analysis during this period of time, and I think we should cooperate with Phoenix Culture, so as to help us the most. ”

"Phoenix culture? Like you said, there are so many film companies in Hong Kong. There are a lot of people who are making it big or have already made it bigger, so why choose this one? "Zhang Wanyao spends a lot of time on her studies, but she is very popular with the world of Hong Kong films. But I don't know very well, and I don't really understand why Luo Qirui chose to cooperate with Phoenix Culture.

"I see you, it's just a matter of getting into the movie, and you don't care about anything else." Luo Qirui likes Zhang Wanyao's mentality very much. But it's also very helpless. said: "I'll give you an analysis, you should also pay more attention to this information in the future, in fact, it is also very beneficial for you to make movies and be a director." ”

Then he began to analyze the current Hong Kong film situation for Zhang Wanyao, and said: "Let's talk about the Zong family first, the Dian family used to be very brilliant and powerful, and he was the leader of the Hong Kong film industry, and he informed Hong Kong films for a long time. But now that the production is going to be stopped, it will be re-filmed in the future. It is unlikely to reach the previous scale, and it should be completely reduced.

Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Palm Cinema. The development over the years has also been very good, but they are all in the climate, and the future will be at most a little better than the current situation, and the internal environment of these two companies is not suitable for newcomers to do long-term development.

The Golden Princess's Dream Combination of the Seven Giants of the New Art City is already well, and it will only be more dispersed if it goes on, and I am not very optimistic about their future. Maybe some people will develop well if they go it alone, but those people are too self-conscious, and we are just puppets when we go.

Golden Harvest uses satellite companies to maintain its existence, and the internal competition is too fierce. Chenglong is He Guanchang's godson, and even big brothers like Hong Jinbao have begun to cooperate with Pan Disheng to engage in Debao, obviously they don't want to participate in internal strife, and we won't have much use if we go.

And the other Debao, everyone knows that it was made by the quasi-stars in order to praise the actress, and Pan Disheng can be said to know nothing about movies, and he basically handed it over to Hong Jinbao to take care of. Hong Jinbao is also a person with ideas, and the contradictions between the two may remain after the honeymoon period has passed, we are just small fish and shrimp, and we can't withstand the wind and waves of the fight. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Qirui stopped and took a sip of water, and Zhang Wanyao took advantage of this opportunity to say: "According to what you say, none of these companies can be considered, but the choice is not only Phoenix Culture?" ”

"That's right, that's why I said that it was best for us to choose Phoenix Culture." Luo Qirui was very satisfied with his analysis and said: "Only Phoenix Culture, the boss is a young man who dares to fight, and he has a deep enough understanding of the film market and enough control, otherwise it is impossible to buy every movie like that, and he is obviously a super professional."

is also a director, you look at Wu Yusen, more than a year ago he was still wearing the hat of 'box office poison', but now, he is already a famous director, aren't these all because he met that Mo Fei. There is also Wang Jing, in the past, Wang Jing relied on his old bean to take care of his development in the Wei family, not necessarily how many people really bought his account, but now Wang Jing is a man of his word in the Hong Kong film industry; Do you know why so many filmmakers in Hong Kong are polite to Wang Jing, just because his relationship with Mo Fei is not ordinarily good, it is said that Mo Fei's every movie will leave him a role, and if you want to be in Mo Fei's movie, there is no one who can speak in Phoenix culture, of course, you have to talk to Wang Jing to say good things. ”

Luo Qirui has obviously done his homework, and when he talks about Phoenix Culture, he has a lot of meaning, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "Even Xu Ke, who has only cooperated with Phoenix Culture in two films, has now entered the ranks of first-line directors, and as soon as Xu Ke's new film starts, countless actors will rush over to audition, to put it bluntly, don't you just want to have something to do with Xu Ke." Besides, Xu Anhua, who was also inclined to literary films before, took over two films of Phoenix Culture, and became even more famous, and the "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is going to participate in the Berlin Film Festival selection, and it is even more remarkable if the proposal has a slight gain, that is the top director in Hong Kong. If you think about it, these directors who have achieved great success, which one is not cooperating with Phoenix Culture. ”

Zhang Wanyao nodded again and again when she heard this, and said: "What you said is really reasonable, I don't like to think about this aspect of the problem, fortunately, you help me." ”

Luo Qirui was affirmed and thanked, and his excitement was even more sufficient, and he said: "There is one more important point, after I inquired, I learned that Phoenix Culture is very good to the artists and staff who signed the contract, and the previous "Party A and Party B" earned a lot of box office, could it be that more than half of the income was actually sent out as a red envelope, do you say that such a company can be bad in the future."

Don't look at the current Phoenix Culture is just a producer, not a single theater, but I dare to guarantee that within five years, the largest theater chain in Hong Kong must be Phoenix Culture, the Shan family, Golden Harvest These all have to give way, is not so young, has a lot of future, if he does not have the idea of ruling the Hong Kong film industry, then he will live in vain in this life. If I'm not mistaken, it's the next Yifu, or even stronger and not weaker, maybe this is underestimating him.

Therefore, since Phoenix Culture will achieve the greatest achievements in the future, of course we have to choose them. The earlier the cooperation, the more it will be valued, and you have read a lot of history books, which should be very clear. (To be continued......)
