Chapter 861: Wang Jing is Busy [One Shift]
Wang Jing followed the waiter into the café, and when he saw that Xiang Huaqiang and his wife Chen Lan were there, he sat down on the seat before he could walk into the seat, and greeted him first.
"Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tai, are you so excited today, let's go out for tea together?"
Xiang Huaqiang and his wife stood up together, shook hands with Wang Jing who came over, and after sitting down, Xiang Huaqiang gave Chen Lan a look, and then Chen Lan said: "Director Wang, we are looking for you this time, in fact, we want to ask you for something." ”
Wang Jing hurriedly waved his hand: "It's too polite for Xiang Tai to say this, if there is anything you can do, I must be unambiguous." ”
At this time, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly interjected on the side: "Director Wang will definitely be able to do this." ”
Wang Jing was stunned, didn't speak rashly, just looked at Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, and waited for the following.
"I heard that Director Wang is going to help Macau's Yin Yuju make a movie, I wonder if this matter is true?"
Chen Lan mentioned such a sentence seemingly casually, but Wang Jing's heart suddenly became nervous.
"Xiang Tai, this matter is indeed there, but I have a hard time."
Wang Jing pretended to be pitiful, but Chen Lan looked very curious.
"Director Wang, is there something unspeakable?"
Wang Jing sighed, "Originally, I didn't have any friendship with Yin Yuju, and I didn't even know him at all, let alone help him film, but some time ago, when I went out, I was accidentally tied up by his people and taken to Macau, so I had no choice but to agree to help him make a movie, so I was able to get out." ”
"Broken Tooth Pony is really getting more and more arrogant, and he dares to be so presumptuous in Hong Kong!"
Xiang Huaqiang snorted coldly, and Chen Lan also nodded.
"It seems that we misunderstood Director Wang."
Wang Jing smiled with a smile on his face. scolded these two people in their hearts for really being able to act. It's clear that I want to ask for something. But here, one is red-faced and the other is white-faced, as if he owes them back.
"Director Wang, you may not know what to say, you helped Yin Yanju film, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but my husband helped you stop it, after all, we have cooperated for so many years, and we know Director Wang's personality...... Now that the matter is clearly explained, we are relieved. ”
Chen Lan was ostensibly appeasing Wang Jing. In fact, he told him that if it weren't for our husband and wife to help you as a guarantor, you would have been cut down by the new Ngee An faction, so you owe us a love for our husband and wife.
Wang Jing is also a smart person, although he is contemptuous of Xiang Huaqiang and his wife's approach, but on the surface, he pretends to be very grateful.
"By the way, Lin Sheng should know that you were coerced by Yin Yuju, he shouldn't sit idly by, right?"
"Aaron said he wanted to help me settle this matter, but I didn't think there was any need to trouble him for this kind of thing, so I didn't let him do it." Wang Jing himself didn't know what Lu Dao Lin Youlun's true plan was. In front of Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, he wouldn't even say everything, so he made up an excuse to prevaricate in the past.
Xiang Huaqiang nodded. Didn't say anything more.
At this time, Chen Lan continued to speak: "Director Wang, it's very simple for us to ask you to help him with this favor this time, Yin Yanju asked you to help him make a movie, and we also want to ask you to help us make a movie." ”
"It's okay to make a movie, but don't say anything like help...... I've been cooperating with Yongsheng Film Company for so many years, and everyone makes money together, so I really can't talk about helping or not helping. ”
Wang Jing said this very politely, but in fact, he was playing tricks, if he really wanted to help him, it would not be good to ask for a high price when talking about the salary, and he really made himself feel like he owed Xiang Huaqiang and his wife a favor.
Wang Jing is such a shrewd person, of course, he will not suffer such a loss.
"Director Wang misunderstood, Yongsheng did not invest this time, so there is no cooperation, and making this movie is just a unilateral request from us to Director Wang."
As soon as Chen Lan explained this, Wang Jing was suddenly confused, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two of them, and finally Xiang Huaqiang helped him solve his doubts.
"Director Wang should have heard about Chen Yaoxing, right?"
Wang Jing nodded, this matter has been in a uproar in Hong Kong recently, and he doesn't know how difficult it is.
"You also know that because of the strong pressure of the police, we can't mourn Yaoxing with great fanfare, so I hope you can adapt Yaoxing's experience into a movie, which can be regarded as another way for our living brothers to comfort his soul in the sky."
When Xiang Huaqiang said this, Wang Jing immediately understood, it turned out that he was asking him to use the movie to praise Chen Yaoxing.
Compared with Yin Yuju's whimsical autobiography for himself, it is normal for Xin Yi'an to make a movie to mourn Chen Yaoxing, Wang Jing felt that this matter was not difficult, so he agreed without thinking about it.
But Xiang Huaqiang then made another request, and Wang Jing realized that he had thought about the problem too simply.
"We hope that this movie can be released on the same schedule as Yin Yuju's "Haojiang Fengyun", and the box office must be higher than that movie...... This requirement is a bit high, but for Director Wang, I don't think there should be any problem. ”
Wang Jing's mouth moved, and he had the mind to scold his mother, if he could ensure that all the movies were box office hits, he still used to pretend to be a grandson in front of people like this?
"Boss Xiang, you don't have any problem asking me to shoot Chen Yaoxing, but the box office of the movie is really not something I can control."
Wang Jing looked embarrassed, but Xiang Huaqiang refused to listen to him.
"Director Wang, both movies are in your hands, how to shoot it is your business, I don't care what method you use, anyway, the final result must be what I just said, or ......"
Xiang Huaqiang did not continue, but the threat in his words was obvious.
Wang Jing spread his hands, "Then Boss Xiang should find someone to cut me now." ”
Wang Jing, who has always been sleek, actually put on a casual posture of killing and scraping, which made Xiang Huaqiang a little embarrassed. On the one hand, it was really impossible for him to really find someone to cut Wang Jing, and on the other hand, Wang Jing's uncooperative attitude made him a little angry.
Seeing that the conversation was at an impasse, Chen Lan hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Okay, I see that both of you have taken a step back in this matter, as long as Director Wang can make this drama exciting, as for the box office, not to mention surpassing "Haojiang Fengyun", at least it can't be lower than that movie, such a request shouldn't be too much, right?" ”
Xiang Huaqiang did not say anything, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Chen Lan's statement.
It's very simple to clean up a Wang Jing, but Lin Youlun behind Wang Jing makes Xiang Huaqiang very jealous, if he tears his face with Lin Youlun because of this incident, it will be worth the loss.
Wang Jing waited for a while, and saw that Xiang Huaqiang did not object, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Xiang Tai, it's really not that I don't give you face in this matter, but that making this type of movie itself is not my forte, and although I am the producer of "Haojiang Fengyun", it is the director Mai Danxiong who is really responsible for filming, he is very good at making this kind of biopic, otherwise "Lame Hao" would not have such a big repercussion back then, to be honest, if I came to make this movie, I really don't have too much confidence that it can beat "Haojiang Fengyun". ”
His side had already given in, Wang Jing was actually bargaining, Xiang Huaqiang was suddenly unhappy, and was about to have a seizure, but Chen Lan gave him a look and asked him not to get excited.
"What does Director Wang mean?"
"I mean, it's okay for me to invest in this film, and I can also be the executive producer of the film, but the director will have to choose someone else."
As soon as Wang Jing said this, Xiang Huaqiang was not in a hurry to ask him if he intended to shirk, but was concerned about which director was more suitable to make this movie.
"Originally, Mai Danxiong was the most suitable candidate, but since this movie is going to be released with "Haojiang Fengyun", he will definitely not be able to, and the rest is to make this movie well, and at the same time have a box office guarantee, I think the most suitable candidate should be Liu Weiqiang."
Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan quickly exchanged glances, they were no strangers to Liu Weiqiang.
If it weren't for the rise of "Crazy Boy", the movies that followed the trend and rushed to shoot had too much impact on the market, and then encountered the rise of underworld heroes, maybe now the "Crazy Boy" series of movies will continue to launch sequels.
The prototype of Chen Haonan's character in "Crazy Boy" is actually the reference Chen Yaoxing, and it is indeed a good proposal for Liu Weiqiang to direct Chen Yaoxing's biopic.
"Liu Weiqiang is the director, but he can compete with Mai Danxiong, I don't know who Director Lu Daowang is going to find to be the actor of this movie?"
Chen Lan's question was asked a little suddenly, Wang Jing was not prepared at all, and was having a headache about how to answer, but Xiang Huaqiang suddenly said something.
"I think it's good to use the original version of "Crazy Boy", so that the audience will be more receptive."
I didn't want Wang Jing to hear it, but he shook his head, "Zheng Yijian is definitely not good, he is filming another drama invested by Allen, and the schedule can't be arranged." ”
Seeing that Xiang Huaqiang's face had deteriorated, Chen Lan hurriedly asked: "Then Director Wang thinks who will be more appropriate to play?" ”
"I think Wu Zhenyu is more suitable."
Wang Jing just talked about things, but he didn't expect that these words angered Xiang Huaqiang.
"Wu Zhenyu's Liangkun in "Crazy Boy" is an out-and-out villain, could it be that Director Wang is going to portray Yaoxing as a villain in the movie?"
"Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mean that, although Wu Zhenyu usually plays more villain roles, it doesn't mean that he can't play positive roles, among so many actors in Hong Kong, he and Huang Qiusen's acting skills are often praised even by Allen, although he plays the villain in "Crazy Boy", he is very impressed by the audience, I think he has no problem playing this movie at all."
