Chapter 418: The Script Innuendo Incident (I)
The reason why Lin Youlun mentioned Takeshi Kitano's mother was because he had heard one thing in his later life.
The relationship between Kitano Takeshi and his mother has always been not harmonious, and when his mother died, Kitano Takeshi didn't even want to go home to mourn, and he reluctantly went back and pretended to try to show a little filial piety as much as possible. After the funeral, Takeshi Kitano's eldest brother handed him a letter and a bank passbook, and Takeshi Kitano's mother wrote in the last letter: "My son, you have a loose personality since you were a child, and I am afraid that you will have nothing in the future...... There are 10 million yen in the passbook. ”
A mother, in such a misunderstood way, loves her son deeply, Kitano Takeshi later understood his mother's good intentions, but he can only be accompanied by regrets for the rest of his life.
Whether it is respect for Takeshi Kitano's mother, or out of emotional investment in Takeshi Kitano, Lin Youlun feels that it is necessary to remind Takeshi Kitano that if the misunderstanding between Takeshi Kitano and his mother can be resolved, at least Takeshi Kitano will have fewer regrets in the future, and at the same time, he will remember Lin Youlun's favor in his heart.
"Mr. Lin's teachings, I must keep it in mind, and I will seriously investigate this matter when I go back!" Takeshi Kitano solemnly agreed.
——
The news of Lin Youlun's co-production of the monster movie "Godzilla" with Japan's Toho Film Company was transmitted back to Hong Kong as soon as possible, and the news was published in major newspapers the next day.
Zhou Xingchi was wrapped in tight clothes, a mask, and sunglasses, and when he pulled out a chair and sat down, he looked around vigilantly.
Xiao Ruoyuan folded the newspaper in his hand and put it aside, picked up the coffee in front of him, looked at Zhou Xingchi with a smile and said, "So careful? ”
Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips and said, "It's not you yet." You have to choose to meet in such a crowded place. ”
Xiao Ruoyuan winked at Zhou Xingchi. "Don't worry. The owner of this café is an acquaintance of mine, and there will be no other guests here today except for the two of us. ”
Zhou Xingchi turned his head to look, and sure enough, a sign was hanging on the glass door of the tea restaurant that was temporarily closed.
"What do you want to drink?" Xiao Ruoyuan then asked.
Zhou Xingchi asked for a cup of coffee and sat up straight, but his eyes fell on the newspaper that Xiao Ruoyuan put aside.
"You've seen the news?"
Xiao Ruoyuan nodded, he understood what Zhou Xingchi was referring to.
"What do you think Mr. Lin means?" Zhou Xingchi then asked again.
Xiao Ruoyuan shrugged, "It's very simple. The pond in Hong Kong could no longer accommodate Mr. Lam's ambitions, so he sought cooperation with Japanese companies. ”
Zhou Xingchi was noncommittal about this, leaned on the sofa with his hands folded, and changed the topic and said: "I have read the script you brought, it is very interesting, but you are now a person from Mai Danxiong Film Company, help me start the play, Mai Danxiong will agree?" ”
"Friendship is friendship, work is work, don't look at the current reputation of Mai Danxiong Production Company. In fact, there are only two or three films that actually start shooting every year, and the number of films opened is not even as good as that of some other small film companies. Mai Danxiong didn't treat me badly, but I can't always spend time with him, right? Xiao Ruoyuan explained helplessly.
Three years ago, "True Lies" directed by Mak Danxiong set a double record in Hong Kong film investment and box office, and so far, Mak Danxiong and his production company have reached their peak. Mai Dan is ambitious to know that this kind of big-budget movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not something he can play freely, but the popularity of Hong Kong films in the European market has made him see new opportunities.
Lin Youlun saw Mai Danxiong's talent in this area, and appointed him as the distribution manager of Jiayi Cinema Line, specializing in the distribution of Hong Kong films in Europe. Although the production company under his name is still operating normally, there is no Mai Danxiong himself, and there is no good one, and as the days go by, the hearts of the people within the company will be scattered.
Xiao Ruoyuan, as the queen screenwriter of Mak Clan, secretly contacted Zhou Xingchi in private, which is a good example.
Zhou Xingchi picked up the coffee and glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan before drinking, "Mai Danxiong is now helping Mr. Lin do things, in terms of intimacy, he is one step closer than you and me, if he is dissatisfied because of this matter and goes to Mr. Lin to sue us, have you considered the consequences?" ”
"What is the current situation of the company, he knows very well in his heart, and I didn't do anything to be sorry for him, I just thought about myself a little more, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Xiao Ruoyuan spread his hands, "I think the biggest question now is what kind of attitude Mr. Lin will have towards this movie." ”
"What does this have to do with Mr. Lin?" Zhou Xingchi asked puzzled.
"Do you know where I got the idea to write this script?"
Zhou Xingchi said with some uncertainty: "Tang Bohu's deeds have been circulated a lot among the people, and the specific stories in this script should have been made up by yourself, right?" ”
"It's true that the story is inspired by folklore, but the specific content is inspired by real events."
Xiao Ruoyuan didn't say it, but it scared Zhou Xingchi when he did.
When reading the script of "Tang Bohu Dots Qiu Xiang", Zhou Xingchi didn't notice this problem, and then he looked back and found that when Mrs. Hua married Qiu Xiang, she asked a row of brides wearing red hijabs to stand in front of Tang Bohu, so that he could identify who Qiu Xiang was, which was strikingly similar to an entertainment news that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry a few years ago, and the actor of this entertainment news was Lin Youlun.
Zhou Xingchi pointed at Xiao Ruoyuan, his face full of surprise, "Shouldn't you be ......?"
Xiao Ruoyuan nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Xingchi immediately got up from his seat, put on his sunglasses and prepared to leave.
"Don't hurt me, you better find someone else to shoot this drama!"
Xiao Ruoyuan hurriedly got up and stopped Zhou Xingchi, "Don't get excited, don't listen to what I say?" ”
It was good to persuade Zhou Xingchi to sit down, and Xiao Ruoyuan analyzed with him seriously: "That incident was once rumored to be a good story, and we made it into a movie, maybe Mr. Lin will not only not be angry, but will also support our approach." ”
Seeing that Zhou Xingchi still had hesitation on his face, Xiao Ruoyuan continued: "And you also know Mr. Lu Daolin, do you think he doesn't even have the strength to accommodate people?" ”
"This is just your wishful thinking, Mr. Lin is now in Japan, you can go to him and explain it yourself."
The script of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is very well written, and nonsensical style jokes emerge in endlessly, basically tailor-made for Zhou Xingchi, if Zhou Xingchi really wants to give up this movie, he is still a little reluctant in his heart, but Lin Youlun's attitude has to make him think carefully.
The smile on Xiao Ruoyuan's face became a little unfathomable, "Don't be so troublesome, have you forgotten who the heroine of that incident is?" As long as we get her consent first, are we afraid that we won't be able to pass Mr. Lin's level? ”
——
"Mr. Xiao can't be in the wrong place, right? Manager Mai is now in Europe, even if he goes back to Hong Kong, he rarely works here, you and he have known him for so long, it should be very clear. ”
Li Zhi sat behind the desk and looked at Xiao Ruoyuan seriously, but she couldn't guess why he would come to her.
"Miss Li misunderstood, I actually came this time to discuss something with Miss Li." Xiao Ruoyuan said and took out a script from his briefcase and solemnly handed it to Lin Youlun, "This is a script I recently wrote, and I want to ask Miss Li to help see if there are any problems." ”
"Me?" Li Zhi pointed at herself in surprise with her fingers painted with bright nail polish, "Mr. Xiao has found the wrong person, right?" ”
"No, no, I really want to ask Miss Li to help me take a look." Xiao Ruoyuan insisted.
Li Zhi glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan suspiciously, and thought about it, could it be that Xiao Ruoyuan handed over the script to herself, but actually wanted to pass through her hand and then hand over the script to Lin Youlun?
The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, so he opened the drawer and put the script away.
"I'll give the script to the person who should give it back, so that Mr. Xiao should be satisfied, right?"
Xiao Ruoyuan said a bunch of words of thanks, and the matter was done, but he didn't mean to leave immediately.
"What, Mr. Xiao has other things?"
"Miss Li, I want to ...... about that script"
Before Xiao Ruoyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi: "Mr. Xiao, if you don't believe me, you can take the script away." ”
"Miss Li, I definitely didn't mean that!" Xiao Ruoyuan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just that this script is a little special, and there is a paragraph in it that I adapted from a true story, and that incident has something to do with Miss Li, so I feel it is necessary to explain it to Miss Li first." ”
"Oh?" There was a curious look in Richimi's eyes.
"Miss Li still remembers what happened at the Miss Asia '85 pageant."
Xiao Ruoyuan had just said this, but Li Zhiqiao's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?" ”
Miss Asia is the starting point of Lizhi's fame, but the shoe throwing incident that happened in the finals has always been the last thing Lizhi wants to mention.
Xiao Ruoyuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "I mean that when the Asian sister finals were awarded, Mr. Lin found Miss Lizhi among the nine beauties by feeling, and I got inspired from this incident and rewrote it into the current script." ”
Lizhi's face has changed a lot better, and the "talented and beautiful woman" in the finals of Sister Asia was once spread by the Hong Kong media, but I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would actually think of putting this story on the big screen.
"I'll read the script carefully, but it's not something I can decide on alone." Lizhi told the truth, this matter not only involves her, but also Lin Youlun, and the decision can only be made after the two of them discuss it.
When Li Zhizhi said this, Xiao Ruoyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
