When Mai Danjie walked into the office, he immediately smelled a choking smell of smoke and couldn't help frowning.

"Big brother, these are the newspapers you want."

Mai Danjie walked to the desk, put down the stack of newspapers in his hand, and followed his gaze to the ashtray next to him.

Mai Danxiong didn't know how many cigarettes Lu Dao smoked in the office, and the cigarette butts he snuffed out actually filled the palm-sized ashtray to the brim.

"Sit down."

Mai Danxiong said simply, and then began to look through the newspapers that Mai Danjie had brought.

The news about that incident, Mai Danjie circled it with a red pen, so it was easy for Mai Danxiong to find the content he was interested in, but what disappointed him was that he read multiple newspapers one after another, and the news on them were very brief, and the content was similar, nothing more than a simple statement of the case and a small number of interviews with the victims.

After reading it, Mai Danxiong raised his head and looked at his younger brother.

"That's all?"

"It's hard to find news about this incident, and with the current media environment on the mainland, this kind of thing is not allowed by the government, and the information that can be reported is really limited, and the overseas media have no way to directly interview it, so that's all you can find in the newspaper." Mai Danjie shrugged helplessly.

"The Emperor of Shanghai" failed at the box office, and Xiao Ruoyuan often left to work for other film companies.

As the phenomenon of Hong Kong filmmakers going north to film has become more and more common in the past two years, many Hong Kong filmmakers have set their sights on the mainland, so Mak Danxiong also has such an idea.

Of course, cooperating with the mainland in filming is not a simple matter. There must be a suitable subject matter as an entry point. At this time, the series of robberies of 3/4 international trains between China and Russia came into the sight of Mai Danxiong.

From February to May 1993. Several major criminal gangs committed more than 100 crimes on this international train and Moscow, robbing property worth millions of yuan.

The Hong Kong media did some reports on the incident after the incident, and Mak Danxiong was very excited when he saw the news, thinking that this was the film material he was looking for, but in the process of collecting relevant information, he found that things were not as simple as he thought at first.

Because the cases are still in the process of being solved. The mainland media were strictly forbidden to report too much on the incident, so it became very difficult for Mak Danxiong to gather material, and the plan to adapt the film based on it has been slow.

Mai Danxiong has been so addicted to smoking recently, most of them are worried about this matter.

Just as Mr. Mai picked up the newspapers again and checked to see if there was any missing information, the phone on his desk rang.

Mai Danxiong's train of thought was interrupted, and he felt bored for no reason, the phone had already rang several times, and he didn't mean to answer.

After the last, Mai Danjie couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to get the microphone.

"Whoever comes to me says I'm not there."

Mai Danxiong commanded.

Mai Danjie picked up the phone. After listening to two sentences, he immediately put it down, covered the microphone with his hand and said to Mai Danxiong: "Big brother." It was Mr. Lin's phone. ”

"Didn't I tell you just now, anyone's phone number ...... What, Mr. Lin's phone? ”

Mai Danxiong came back to his senses and immediately snatched the microphone from Mai Danjie's hand.

"Mr. Lin, I'm Mai Danxiong!"

Mai Danjie was also very curious about what Lin Youlun was looking for Mai Danxiong on, but it was not good to overtly eavesdrop, so he had to wait patiently on the side.

The phone call lasted for about ten minutes, and as soon as Mai Danxiong put down the phone, Mai Danjie immediately asked, "Big brother, what is Mr. Lin looking for you?" ”

"He asked me to make a movie." Mai Danxiong said expressionlessly.

Mai Danjie was stunned, it stands to reason that Lin Youlun came to the door to cooperate, and Mai Danxiong should be happy, but looking at his expression now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, is this movie not easy to make?"

Mai Danxiong shook his head with a wry smile, and then briefly told his brother some information about the movie.

A biopic of a hero like "Haojiang Fengyun" is not only not difficult for Mai Danxiong to shoot, but on the contrary, it is his specialty, the key is that the content of this drama is Yin Yuju's autobiography, which makes Mai Danxiong a little difficult to decide.

The reason why underworld heroes are not easy to shoot is because the content of the movie is generally adapted from facts, and it is easy to offend the parties, but this "Haojiang Fengyun" is just the opposite, making this movie is Yin Yanju's own idea, so there are no worries at all when filming, and you can get the strong assistance of the parties.

But this movie also has a bad point, that is, after filming, it may offend Yin Yuju's opponent Xiang Huaqiang, the Xiang brothers can't fight Yin Yanju in Macau, but in Hong Kong, the situation is different.

As soon as he heard that there was such a complicated inside story, Mai Danjie also hesitated.

"Big brother, does Mr. Lin mean that you must come to shoot, or is he just asking for your opinion?"

"If Mr. Lin had been resolute, probably I wouldn't have been so distressed." Mai Danxiong shrugged.

On the phone, Lin Youlun didn't necessarily mean that Mai Danxiong would take over the movie, but the more this happened, the more hesitant Mai Danxiong became.

"If you want me to say forget it, I heard that the feud between Yin Yuju and the Xiang brothers is quite big, if it is not necessary, it is better for us not to get involved in this matter." Mai Danjie thought for a while and said.

"But it's not a chance for us to turn around."

Mai Danxiong glanced at the newspapers on the desk again, the movie topic of "The Great Train Robbery between China and Russia", there will definitely not be much useful material collected in a short period of time, rather than dragging it on this movie, it is better to start anew.

"I forgot to tell you just now that the producer of this movie is Wang Jing."

Mai Danjie originally wanted to persuade again, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately fell silent.

If making this movie will cause trouble, Lin Youlun has no reason to push Wang Jing into the fire pit.

"Since Wang Jingjing is not afraid, what else do I have to be afraid of?"

Mai Danxiong smiled self-deprecatingly, if ten years ago, such a subject was placed in front of him, he would not have blinked his eyes at all, and now that he is older, he does not have the momentum of the year.

As soon as Mai Danjie heard this, he knew that Mai Danxiong had already made a decision in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

——

"Ah Jing, you give me an explanation, what is Mr. Lin's attitude towards this matter?" On the way to Lin Youlun's office together, Mai Danxiong couldn't help but ask Wang Jing, who was traveling with him, this question.

"I don't know exactly what Aaron thinks, but personally, I really don't want to make this movie, and as for the twists and turns, it's really hard to say."

Wang Jing sighed, but Mai Danxiong heard some different information from it.

It can be seen that Wang Jing is not very willing to be the producer of this movie, but he has no choice but to force him, as for forcing him, Mai Danxiong feels that it is unlikely to be Lin Youlun, so Yin Yuju is left.

Mai Danxiong was about to ask carefully, but the elevator had already reached the floor where Lin Youlun's office was located.

Because Lin Youlun had been instructed here, as soon as Mai Danxiong and Wang Jing arrived, someone immediately led them directly into the office.

Lin Youlun put down a document in his hand, got up from the desk, and beckoned the two of them to sit down in the rest area next to him.

Lin Youlun glanced at the two of them, and his gaze stopped at Wang Jing.

"What's the reply from Yin Yuju?"

"He is very satisfied with our arrangement, especially when he heard that Director Mai is willing to be the director of this film, and directly increased the shooting budget of this film to 20 million."

Wang Jing's words were not only for Lin Youlun, but also for Mai Danxiong.

Lin Youlun then asked: "Does he have any requirements for the plot?" ”

"He paid for this one by one, and he definitely wanted to make himself more positive, but he didn't mind putting some of his real deeds into the movie."

Lin Youlun nodded, and then looked at Mai Danxiong.

"The situation Wang Jingjing said, I wonder what Mr. Lu Daomai thinks about this movie?"

"I must try to follow Yin Yuju's meaning in designing the plot here, so I don't know if Mr. Lu Daolin has anything in particular to tell me?" Mai Danxiong is very smart, he has already guessed from the conversation between Lin Youlun and Wang Jing just now, Lin Youlun may have something to say to him, so he took the initiative to mention it.

"Mr. Mak can try to dig up some of Yin Yuju's real deeds, as long as he agrees, he can put them in the movie, the more the better...... If the material is sufficient, it can even be divided into two episodes like "The Legend of Lei Luo". ”

As soon as he heard "The Legend of Lei Luo", Mai Danxiong's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

As a movie that follows the trend of "Lame Hao", the box office of a single episode of "The Legend of Lei Luo" did not exceed that of "Lame Hao", but the box office of the upper and lower parts together shook off more than 10 million of "Lame Hao", which has always made Mai Danxiong feel very disadvantaged.

Because the film of "Lame Hao" is more than two hours long, if it is planned according to two episodes from the beginning, the shooting cost will not increase much, but the box office can at least double, and it is really a loss to think about it now.

Of course, Mai Danxiong will not be naïve enough to think that Lin Youlun is wholeheartedly thinking about the box office of this movie, and he let himself do this, and he definitely has a deeper plan.

Although Mai Danxiong guessed something, he didn't say it.

Lin Youlun's idea is actually very simple, he wants to use the movie "Haojiang Fengyun" to collect more evidence of Yin Yuju's crime.

Yin Yuju definitely didn't think at this time that in a few years, he would be sent to prison by this movie!
