Chapter 657: Across the Seas (I)

"The news received quite quickly, and you want to intervene in this matter too?" Lin Youlun was wearing a casual shirt and sunglasses, lying on a beach chair, holding a glass of chilled juice in his hand, with a straw to his mouth, but his eyes were squinting at Wang Jing, who was sitting on the side.

Wang Jing took a sip of juice, shrugged and explained: "It's not that I want to intervene, but Xiang Huaqiang moved his mind, he took the initiative to cooperate with me, if I refuse, I won't give him face, I have no choice, I have to come up with such a script, saying that I was looking for Chen Jiashang to be the director, but I didn't expect to collide with you." ”

The script written by Wang Jing is said to be related to the theme of the Flying Tigers, but in fact, it is just a side. The protagonist of the film is set as a member of the Flying Tigers, and then sent to a school to work undercover, and the whole story looks like the undercover theme of Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger" and the school bully plot of "School Storm" are softened together.

Although the current Wang Jing likes to patchwork and the design gimmick style is not very high, at least the ingenuity of the conception and the mastery of the bridge are unmatched in the Hong Kong film industry, just take the script of "Truant Dragon" in Lin Youlun's hand now, the jokes and gimmicks in it are very creative, and it can be seen that the screenwriter has really put a lot of effort into it.

Wang Jing himself admitted that he was very depressed when he was a student, so he injected strong personal feelings into the film, and several supporting roles with strong comedy in the script played an excellent foil, of course, the most amazing thing was to find Zhou Xingchi to star in this movie.

Zhou Xingchi became popular in comedies, but his acting career was very limited, and the production company thought that the audience only liked him to play the role of a clown in a weak position, but Wang Jing was strong against public opinion. It was decided to portray Zhou Xingchi as a heroic figure.

Wang Jing is a film businessman. Naturally, they will not make a loss-making transaction. In order to be more secure, he specially proposed to find Chen Jiashang as a director.

"Truant Dragon" is positioned as an action comedy, there are not many directors in Hong Kong who can straddle the two fields of action and comedy, but it cannot be said that there are none, the most famous of which is Wu Yusen, but Wu Yusen made comedies just to support his family, and now he has become a master of violent aesthetics with an international reputation, of course, it is impossible to return to his old business.

And Chen Jiashang is different. When he entered the industry, he was famous for making comedies, and later directed a series of powerful action blockbusters such as "Lin Sheng and Lin Tai" and "Die Hard".

"Look, the movie "Flying Tiger" is so big, I heard Chen Jiashang say that you plan to play all the gunfight scenes in this play, so it will take a lot of time for the movie to prepare for the first time, right? I'm here today to discuss with you, can you lend Chen Jiashang to me for two months first. It's okay if you can't do it for a month and a half, anyway, "Truant Dragon" doesn't pay so much attention. It can definitely be done in more than a month. ”

Lin Youlun put down the juice in his hand, looked at Wang Fatzi and asked, "Is this your idea or does Xiang Huaqiang mean?" ”

Wang Jing pouted, "Of course it's mine, Xiang Huaqiang heard that Chen Jiashang had been found by you in advance, so he had the idea of changing the director on the spot, and I persuaded him later." ”

Lin Youlun nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "This kind of film is what you are best at, you can be the director, why do you want to find someone else?" It's not good to learn from anyone, you have to learn from Xu Ke to be the producer, Xu Ke has the courage to turn his face no matter who he is with, can you? ”

Wang Jing spread his hands and said: "Do you think I don't want to, I am busy filming "Tricky Expert" during this time, starring Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, and I will shoot the sequel to "Gambling Saint" "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" about to finish it, I really don't have time." ”

Saying this, Lin Youlun reluctantly agreed to Wang Jing's request, and then he asked about another thing.

"By the way, what is Du Qifeng doing during this time?"

"He's preparing a costume comedy that will be funded by Shaw Brothers."

After Wang Jing finished speaking, he picked up the juice and took a sip, but Lin Youlun's expression looked a little strange.

"Are costume comedies very popular during this time? Even the sixth uncle came out to join in the fun. ”

Wang Jing's eyes widened, and he didn't have time to put down the cup in his hand before saying, "Don't you know the way?" ”

"What does this have to do with me, should I know the Dao?"

""Dragon and Phoenix Shop" has won such a high box office in Hong Kong, and now I know that all the film companies in Ludao are following the trend to make movies with this theme, do you say this matter has anything to do with you?" Wang Jing asked rhetorically.

"Dragon and Phoenix Shop" is different from other movies." Lin Youlun emphasized.

"I know that this movie is for disaster relief, so many stars appear, but not all audiences are going for the stars in the film. If you find a bunch of stars to play at the box office, it will be too easy to make money by making movies, but this is not the case, "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" can sell such a high box office, which is enough to show that this type of movie is very marketable. ”

Wang Jing's explanation is reasonable, but Lin Youlun still has a doubt in his heart.

"You said you want to make this kind of movie, I still make sense, but Johnny To shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to follow trends?"

"Because the idea of that movie was not come up with by him, it was proposed by Zhou Runfa, and the two of them chatted about the idea during the filming of "The Story of Ah Lang", and it happened that Shaw Brothers was interested in this kind of theme, and the two sides hit it off. Wang Jing explained.

"Fa Ge is the starring actor and acts in a comedy?" Lin Youlun looked a little incredulous.

Wang Jing shrugged, "I don't know this question, isn't "Across the Seas" about to be released soon?" When the time comes, you can ask Zhou Runfa yourself. ”

When Zhou Comin took Honghong from Zhong Chuhong's hand, the little guy slept very thickly, his face was white and clean, round like a little snowman piled up in winter, and his small mouth was sucked from time to time, which was very cute.

Zhou Comemin couldn't help but touch the little guy's face lightly with his fingers, looked up and smiled at Zhong Chuhong on the side and said, "Little Honghong must be breastfeeding in her dream." ”

Zhong Chuhong sat there with a smile on her face, her eyes were always on her daughter, "I've been sleepy since I was a child, and I will definitely be a little lazy worm in the future." ”

"How come, a woman who loves to sleep is beautiful, and Honghong will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up in the future." Zhou Comin hugged the little guy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"What about you, haven't you been with him for so long, aren't you going to have a child?" Since Zhong Chuhong gave birth to a daughter, she has also looked down on other women around Lin Youlun, and she is also very calm when facing Zhou Comian.

Speaking of this topic, Zhou Comin's expression suddenly darkened.

"I don't know what to do, maybe I have to wait a few more years."

Zhong Chuhong smiled and nodded, and did not say anything more about it.

At this time, Chen Huiqing walked in, and saw that Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Comemin got along quite well, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, isn't your interview about to start, give me the child, or I'll be woken up by you later." Chen Huiqing took the little guy from Zhou Comin and carried her upstairs.

Zhong Chuhong rearranged his clothes again, and especially asked Zhou Comin for advice.

"I'm okay with dressing like this, right?"

Zhong Chuhong's postpartum figure is still recovering, and her birth is still under secrecy, Zhou Yimin knows that it doesn't matter, but she can't let the photographer who came with her see what the problem is.

Zhou Comin brought the recording team to France this time to do a talk show about the movie "Indulgence in the Worlds", and the recording location was Zhong Chuhong's home. She rushed over first, firstly to see Xiaohonghong, and secondly, to make some arrangements in advance.

Ding Dong The doorbell rang, the maid ran out of the door to open the door, Zhou Yimin thought it was the film crew coming, and when she walked out, she found that it was Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Yanrong, the two of them carried large bags of gifts and walked in behind the maid.

Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Yurong and Zhong Chuhong are very good friends, and they are all the leading actors of "Across the Seas", so of course, there is a warm reminiscence when they meet. After it was over, Zhou Yanfa asked where Xiao Honghong went, Zhong Chuhong was pregnant and then gave birth to a daughter, he and Zhang Yurong both knew about it.

"I've been carried upstairs, and I'll show you when the show is over, and she'll probably wake up by then." Zhong Chuhong explained.

Zhou Yunfa looked a little impatient, "Then what are you waiting for, Miss Zhou, can we start?" ”

Zhang Yurong took the opportunity to make fun of him: "The photographer hasn't come yet, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the doorbell rang again, Zhou Comin and Zhong Chuhong glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "This time it should be here." (To be continued......)
