Chapter 114: Borrow your female apprentice
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I am going to shoot this drama in the name of Baohe, so it will only be released in Golden Harvest Cinemas in the future." As soon as Hong Jinbao came up, he made it clear that this drama was not filmed for Debao, for fear that Lin Youlun would misunderstand that he was instructed by Pan Disheng.
Hong Jinbao still hasn't figured out what the festival is between Lin Youlun and Pan Disheng. It is true that Pan Disheng is a rich second generation, but he is by no means the second ancestor who only eats, drinks and has fun, on the contrary, he has the vision and means of a businessman.
Pan Disheng's entry into the film industry, whether it is to add more movies to the family business project, or to pursue Miss Malaysia Yang Ziqiong more, there are many versions of the saying, but Pan Disheng, as a businessman, spends a lot of money on Debao.
Lin Youlun directly refused Pan Disheng's request to buy the script from him at a sky-high price at the reception, completely blocking the possibility of him and Debao cooperating again.
Although Hong Jinbao regrets, he is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, Debao is just a side business that he has excess energy, and Baohe is his real foundation, and it is naturally the most appropriate in the name of Baohe to bypass Pan Disheng and find Lin Youlun to cooperate.
This request made Lin Youlun a little embarrassed, whether it was director or acting, the most brilliant thing about Hong Jinbao's film career was the current period, Lin Youlun really couldn't think of any movie suitable for Hong Jinbao's path for a while, so he had to say that he didn't have a suitable script in his hand.
Hong Jinbao knew that it was not so easy to get a script from Lin Youlun, and he promised to help Cheng Long write "Red Fan District", but it was more impossible to hold the face of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, but Hong Jinbao could no longer invite Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang to talk about it, and this matter was a little difficult to do.
Hong Jinbao had no choice but to retreat and beg Lin Youlun to help Baohe write a script, it doesn't matter if he is the protagonist or not.
"Do you want to play big once?" Lin Youlun knows that Hong Jinbao has always liked to shoot low-budget movies that fight big with small fights, and deliberately made tentative words.
As soon as he heard that there was a drama in this matter, Hong Jinbao was happy but also a little worried, he could now take out a maximum of 20 million on hand, if it was as big as "Legend of the Night", he really couldn't afford it.
"How much investment do you have to make?"
Lin Youlun stretched out three fingers, and Hong Jinbao was suddenly a little deflated in his heart. Of course, he would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that Lin Youlun was talking about three million, but the question is that for a while, where can he find the thirty million?
Lin Youlun saw the embarrassment in Hong Jinbao's expression, and said quietly on the surface: "I still have more than 10 million spare money in my hand, and I thought that I would also invest in a movie to play, and then start writing the script." After the script was written, I realized that the money in my hand was not enough, so I wanted to find someone to work with. Since Brother Hong thinks so highly of me, it's better for the two of us to work together. I will contribute 10 million and the script, and Brother Hong will contribute 20 million, and we will divide the money we earn. β
Hong Jinbao thought that Lin Youlun's script was worth 10 million to say the least, and Lin Youlun himself had to take out another 10 million, so it was not too much to take four parts of red.
What reassures Hong Jinbao the most is that Lin Youlun himself also invested money in it, which shows that he has a lot of confidence in the script, but because he doesn't have so much money in his hands now, he is looking for someone to cooperate. Hong Jinbao knew that such opportunities would only become fewer and fewer in the future, so how could he easily miss them?
"Then we're done!" Hong Jinbao was afraid that Lin Youlun would regret it, so he called back to the company directly and asked them to draw up a contract and send it over immediately, and today he will sign a contract with Lin Youlun.
If this drama is to be filmed well, there are two people who are very important, if you find other people to cooperate, things will have to take a lot of twists and turns, but now that Hong Jinbao has joined the gang, things have become much simpler.
When Hong Jinbao put down "Big Brother", Lin Youlun then talked to him about it. β¦,
"Chen Jiashang?" Sammo Hung felt vaguely familiar with this name, but if Lin Youlun didn't remind him, he might not be able to remember that there was still this person in Debao Company.
"He started as a stunt prop master at Shaw Brothers, participated in the filming of Zhang Guoming's "Interstellar Blunt Tire" and Chu Yuan's "Sun Tribulation", and later showed his hand in "Wesley's Old Cat" and "Heaven and Earth Ambition", recently he became a screenwriter, and then spent some time in Xu Ke's film studio, and was recently made an executive director by Debaola.
After listening to Lin Youlun's introduction, Hong Jinbao asked the key to the matter in the first sentence.
"He's never been a director before?"
Lin Youlun nodded, not denying it.
Hong Jinbao was hesitant in his heart, on the one hand, he was very worried about whether it would be messed up if an investment of 30 million yuan would be done by a rookie director, and on the other hand, he felt that Lin Youlun would not appoint a person who had never even met to be the director for no reason.
Hong Jinbao paid special attention to Chen Jiashang's stunt background, will Lin Youlun be named as the director of this drama because of this?
"Chen Jiashang is not valued in Debao Company, it shouldn't be difficult for Brother Hong to lend him out to film, right?"
Lin Youlun's words reminded Hong Jinbao that if he really wanted to use Chen Jiashang as the director of this film, he would have to find a way to dig people from Debao first.
Hong Jinbao was still worried about not being able to tear his face with Pan Disheng at this time, and it was a trivial matter to poach Chen Jiashang, but Lin Youlun said another name next, but Hong Jinbao shook his head like a rattle after hearing it, and refused to agree to anything.
Just kidding, let him go to Yang Ziqiong to be the heroine of this film, it's no wonder that Pan Disheng can agree!
Hong Jinbao didn't plan to accept Yang Ziqiong as an apprentice from the beginning, but who made her the woman Pan Disheng fancied? When Yang Ziqiong was still on the stage of the Miss Malaysia beauty pageant, she was shocked by Pan Disheng, who was sitting in the audience at the time, and launched a fierce pursuit from then on.
In order to fulfill the duties of Miss Malaysia, Yang Ziqiong gave up the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom, and Pan Disheng couldn't do it for a while, but as soon as Yang Ziqiong took off this title, he began to find ways to get close to the beauty through various means.
Pan Disheng first asked Yang Ziqiong to advertise and endorse a famous watch he represented, and after becoming the big boss of Debao Film Company, he directly invited Yang Ziqiong to film, almost all her affairs in Hong Kong.
Lin Youlun pursed his lips disapprenously and said, "How can you say that Brother Hong is also the founder of Debao, could it be that Pan Disheng doesn't even want to give this face?" β
Hong Jinbao laughed at himself and said: "I am a cattle in Debao, and after filming, I have to slaughter it if I get it, but the cow skin is thick, and people can't slaughter it for the time being." β
As the founder of Debao, Hong Jinbao's "The Owl and Dumbo" and the recently released "Royal Sister" have achieved outstanding results, but as Debao gradually becomes an opponent with Golden Harvest, Hong Jinbao's position is becoming increasingly embarrassing, and Hong Jinbao's insistence on action movie routines also diverges with Debao's creative direction.
"Brother Hong can go directly to Miss Yang, she is your apprentice, she will not give you face as a master, right?"
Lin Youlun's idea is good, but he can bypass Pan Disheng and go directly to Yang Ziqiong, Hong Jinbao is still a little hesitant.
At the beginning, Yang Ziqiong followed Hong Jinbao to practice kung fu, but Hong Jinbao didn't have much hope for her. The daughter of a rich family born as a beauty pageant lady appears in kung fu movies, and the most suitable image for Yang Ziqiong should be a cowardly vase that needs to be protected by a man, Hong Jinbao can't expect her to be able to endure the hardships of being a woman.
Yang Ziqiong's performance in "Royal Senior Sister" greatly surprised Hong Jinbao's expectations, Hong Jinbao saw that Yang Ziqiong did have the talent to be a woman, so he began to teach her to practice kung fu seriously, to say that the relationship between the two is not bad, Hong Jinbao knows that he will speak, Yang Ziqiong will not refuse.
Hong Jinbao's main concern is Pan Disheng, and he really doesn't want to tear his face with the other party unless he has to.
Under the circumstances, Lin Youlun had no choice but to reveal part of the story of the script to Hong Jinbao first, Hong Jinbao pondered in his heart and found that the heroine in the script was really only Yang Ziqiong could play.
Hong Jinbao actually wanted to recommend his other female apprentice Gao Lihong to Lin Youlun at first, but later compared the two female apprentices, and felt that Yang Ziqiong was much stronger than Gao Lihong, who was selected as Sister Hong Kong but was directly given up by wireless, in terms of appearance and popularity.
In front of Lin Youlun, Hong Jinbao didn't dare to talk too much, and only said that he tried his best.
