Lin Zhiling went downstairs to deliver the videotape, and when she came back, she was about to report to Lin Youlun, but she saw Lin Youlun standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the office with her hands in her hands, and there seemed to be some kind of concern between her eyebrows.

Lin Zhiling hadn't made up her mind whether to disturb or not, but Lin Youlun suddenly turned her head and glanced at her.

"Are you saying I'm getting more timid now?"

Lin Zhiling was a little confused by this headless sentence, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, has the thing been handed over to Mai Danxiong?"

Lin Zhiling nodded, but she was still thinking about what Lin Youlun said just now.

"That's good, I hope he understands what I mean."

After Lin Youlun finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to look out the window.

Lin Zhiling glanced at the script left by Mai Danxiong on the desk, and finally held back her curiosity and didn't ask any more, turned around and retreated.

——

Although it was daytime, it was pitch black in the conference room of Mak Danxiong's production company.

The closed curtains blocked out the light, and there were only two places in the entire conference room, one was the unburned cigarette head in Mai Danxiong's hand, and the other was the TV screen in front of it.

"Tell me it's true?" The beautiful blonde heroine looked at the male protagonist and asked with a sincere expression.

"It's not!" The actor replied in the affirmative.

The heroine breathed a sigh of relief and limped into the hero's arms.

"Oh, Mike."

The male protagonist kissed the heroine, then patted her on the back of the shoulder, and then let go.

"I think we both need to have a drink. I'm going to pour. The heroine walks out of the office. When I went over, I found that three people suddenly mysteriously appeared in my husband's office.

The heroine looks back. One of them walked over and closed the door.

The background music fades to rest as the door closes, and the film ends.

With a bang, the curtains of the office were opened, and the entire conference room suddenly became bright, like the alternation of night and day.

Mai Danxiong turned his seat back from facing the TV with his back to the desk, and his eyes swept over the few people sitting at the table one by one, and his eyes fell on his younger brother Mai Danjie's face.

"Applejack. Let's talk about it first! ”

Mai Danjie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Wen Jie, what do you think?"

Mai Danxiong then moved his gaze to the face of Pan Wenjie, the director of "Lame Hao", and the other party was also at a loss, and he couldn't seem to say why.

After asking two people in succession and getting no answers, Mai Danxiong couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"What have you been doing for more than two hours? Let you watch this movie well, and then help me figure out what Mr. Lin gave me this videotape, you guys are good, you can't ask a fart in three sentences! ”

"Alright, Ah Xiong. Don't embarrass the two of them. Xiao Ruoyuan stood up to play a round, and at the same time gave Mai Danxiong a look.

"Alright. Go out of the river first. ”

Mai Danxiong waved his hand and drove both Mai Danjie and Pan Wenjie out of the city, leaving Xiao Ruoyuan alone.

"Ah Yuan, what do you really see?"

Xiao Ruoyuan nodded and asked Mai Danxiong rhetorically: "Do you think Mike in the film is a good guy or a bad guy?" ”

"Of course a bad person by the standards of normal society, but ......"

"But no one in the audience will think he's bad, at least no one will see him as a villain, am I right?" Xiao Ruoyuan interrupted Mai Danxiong.

Mai Danxiong nodded and admitted Xiao Ruoyuan's statement.

Xiao Ruoyuan continued, "In fact, not only will people not regard Mike as a villain, but also worship him as an idol, otherwise the American media would not call this movie the bible of men's growth and become the greatest gangster movie in American history." ”

"But what does this have to do with us?" Mai Danxiong asked puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet!" Xiao Ruoyuan lit a cigarette for himself unhurriedly, ""Black Gold" is also a story about the godfather of a gangster, but in your script, he is an out-and-out villain, and now Mr. Lin gives you the videotape of "The Godfather", don't you understand the meaning?" ”

Mai Danxiong's eyes flashed, "You mean, Mr. Lin wants us to make Zhou Chaoxian in "Black Gold" a positive character?" ”

Xiao Ruoyuan spit out a mouthful, "In the past, in "Lame Hao" and "Haojiang Fengyun", didn't you always deal with it like this? ”

"But in this case, the police part of the plot is completely abolished, originally I wanted to find Liu Dehua to play this role, if the role of this role is reduced, it is a question whether Liu Tianwang can be invited."

Mai Danxiong frowned as he spoke, "Again, making this movie, my original intention was to expose Taiwan's black and gold politics, if Zhou Chaoxian was portrayed as a positive image, wouldn't this intention be in vain?" ”

"Are the two in conflict?" Xiao Ruoyuan spread his hands, "Aren't the actions of Mike's gangsters in "The Godfather" cruel? And didn't the audience see any of that? They saw it, but they didn't take it to heart, because in this film, the boundary between good and evil has been blurred by the factors of elegance, warmth, kindness, and family, and the image of the godfather in the film has also subverted people's traditional perception of gangsters...... These are all achievable on Zhou Chaoxian in "Black Gold", and the story is still the original story, but in a different way of telling, I think Mr. Lin's intention is this. ”

Xiao Ruoyuan's words made Mai Danxiong suddenly enlightened, and a new story idea took shape in his mind.

——

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Liang Jiahui closed the script in his hand.

Mrs. Jiang Jianian happened to pass by, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"This script makes me so embarrassed."

For Jiang Jianian, Liang Jiahui had nothing to hide, and told his troubles in person.

"Is that the script that Mai Danxiong sent?" Jiang Jianian put down what he was doing, sat down next to Liang Jiahui, and asked thoughtfully: "Is it that Mai Danxiong is going to shoot any difficult and dangerous scenes this time, if only you refuse directly, with your current reputation and achievements, you really don't have to fight so hard." ”

Liang Jiahui shook his head, "It has little to do with Mai Danxiong, mainly because of the script itself." ”

"That is, you are not satisfied with the plot?"

Liang Jiahui shook his head again.

"Whether it's the plot or the characters, this script can be said to be the best one I've received over the years, but it's just ......"

Jiang Jianian pushed Liang Jiahui, "Okay, don't spit out, if you have any concerns, just say it directly." ”

"Mai Danxiong asked me to play a Taiwanese gang boss this time, this person almost became a legislator through a series of means of intimidation and bribery, and then just when he was about to succeed, he got the evidence of his crime because of the illegal eavesdropping of the Investigation Bureau, and he fell short, and in the process of evading the police arrest, his favorite woman also died."

Liang Jiahui roughly talked about the plot of "Black Gold", and Jiang Jianian said decisively after listening to it: "Don't think about it, just refuse directly." ”

Although he didn't read the script directly, just based on Liang Jiahui's description, Jiang Jianian realized that this movie was very likely to cause some trouble for Liang Jiahui.

After persuading Liang Jiahui, Jiang Jianian couldn't help complaining: "This Mai Danxiong is really, even if he likes to cause trouble, he still wants to find you, doesn't he know that you have once planted a big heel in this kind of thing?" ”

Mai Danxiong wants to make a movie to expose Taiwan's black and gold politics, Jiang Jianian still has some admiration for him, but it's not good for this guy to find someone to play the starring role, but he chose Liang Jiahui, who was banned by Taiwan once, doesn't this mean to add to people's blockage?

Seeing Jiang Jianian's indignant look, Liang Jiahui turned around and comforted her: "Actually, the situation is not as serious as you think, and now that Taiwan wants to ban me, it has to consider the impression of all aspects, and it will not be as casual as it was back then." ”

The current Liang Jiahui is not the newcomer who just debuted back then, after acting in "Pirates of Malacca", he has become a Chinese superstar who has become famous overseas, and since Taiwan opened the ban, the entire speech environment has been greatly improved, and there is no longer such a thing as a star being banned for starring in a movie that offends the authorities.

"Then he can't find someone else to play it? I just asked you to act, I think he has a heart! Jiang Jianian was still resentful.

If Mai Danxiong was present at this time, he would definitely shout out his grievances, and it was actually not his idea to ask Liang Jiahui to play "Black Gold", originally he wanted to find Liu Dehua to play, because in the previous "The Legend of Lei Luo", Liu Dehua had already played a similar role, and his performance was acceptable, and the most important thing is that Liu Dehua now has a market, as long as there are movies he starred in, he will basically not lose money.

But this idea reached Lin Youlun's ears, and he directly rejected it.

Because soon Lin Youlun is also ready to start filming a gangster film, and Liu Dehua is one of the actors who are set.

Such a reason directly made Mai Danxiong speechless, he thought that his face was not big enough to be able to compete with Lin Youlun, and for the filming of the movie "Black Gold", although Lin Youlun said that he would not invest directly and would not admit that he had anything to do with this movie, he could secretly provide a lot of help to Mai Danxiong.

In this case, Mai Danxiong can only choose to compromise. (To be continued......)
