Chapter 808: Poor Parents' Hearts [One Change]
At the filming site of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Huang Yuyang was exchanging some views on the filming of the film with director Ye Weixin, when the eldest disciple Qi Wenjie came over and whispered a few words in Huang Yuyang's ear.
Huang Yuxin's expression became a little serious, and when Ye Weixin saw this, he took the initiative to leave with great interest.
As soon as Ye Weixin left, Huang Yuxuan immediately asked with a straight face: "Is the news accurate?" ”
Qi Wenjie nodded very affirmatively.
The news that the world comics will release a new work leaked out of the mouth of a cronie under Ma Rongcheng, and the credibility is very high.
"I said that Ma Tsai has been a lot more low-key recently, and he was ready to take us by surprise." Huang Yuxuan's tone sounded indifferent, but he actually attached great importance to this matter in his heart.
"Any more news?"
"It is said that this comic has something to do with Lin Youlun......" Qi Wenjie glanced at Huang Yuxun, but he had worked hard to find out the news, and he thought it should satisfy Huang Yuxun.
Sure enough, Huang Yuyun's face suddenly changed after hearing the news, and his tone of voice was no longer as relaxed as before.
"What do you think about this?"
Qi Wenjie was stunned, but he didn't expect Huang Yuyun to ask for his opinion, and he didn't prepare at all in a hurry.
"Could it be that Lin Youlun handed over the comic adaptation rights of one of his novels to Ma Rongcheng?"
Huang Yuyun thought of this possibility at first, but then he denied it.
Lin Youlun's novel, "Sou Shen Ji", which is most suitable for adaptation into comics, has been collected and published, and "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are also good materials, but if they are adapted from these two works. The world's comics should have been publicized in the media with great fanfare a long time ago. And not as quietly as it is now.
"Then Ma Rongcheng is not fighting the idea of the American Marvel Comics Company. He tasted the sweetness of introducing Japanese comics back then, so he repeated the same trick? ”
Qi Wenjie then proposed another possibility, Huang Yuyun pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Ma Tsai may do this, but Lin Youlun definitely won't."
Seeing Qi Wenjie's puzzled face, Huang Yuyun went on to explain: "You also underestimate Lin Youlun, do you think he bought Marvel Comics to help Ma Rongcheng solve his current predicament?" Lin Youlun did all this, including his support for Tianxia Comics. In the final analysis, it's all about the service of movie adaptation. ”
"What about us?" Qi Wenjie asked hesitantly.
"Let's wait until their new comics come out." Huang Yuxuan sighed, it was not that he didn't want to make a move, but now that the opponent's hole cards had not been revealed, the only thing he could do was to wait for the opponent to make the first move.
As soon as the two finished talking about this, they only saw Lin Zhiying, the second actor of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", sending a middle-aged man out, and he didn't have time to change the costume on his body.
Huang Yuxuan glanced over there and asked with some confusion, "Who is that person?" ”
"Taiwanese director Zhu Yanping, I heard that he came to visit the class." Qi Wenjie said.
"Zhu Yanping, is he very familiar with Lin Zhiying?" Huang Yuxuan asked with a frown.
"They are all from Taiwan's Changhong Film and Television Company."
As soon as Qi Wenjie said this, Huang Yuyun suddenly understood the relationship between the two. However, there are still some doubts in my heart, what is Zhu Yanping doing when he comes to Lin Zhiying at this time?
Zhu Yanping shook hands with Lin Zhiying. "Xiaozhi, then I'll go first, I wish you a successful start to this drama!"
Lin Zhiying nodded vigorously, "Director Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." ”
Zhu Yanping didn't say anything more, turned around and left, Lin Zhiying kept watching his back disappear from sight, and then returned to the set.
Huang Yuyun and Qi Wenjie watched this scene in their eyes.
"Have you noticed that Lin Zhiying's expression is a little different from before."
Qi Wenjie was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Huang Yuyun wanted to say.
"Before, when I saw Lin Zhiying laughing, his expression was a little reluctant, as if he had something on his mind, but now he seems to have solved all his thoughts." Huang Yuxuan said to himself.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Qi Wenjie asked puzzled.
Huang Yuying pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, but there was still a doubt in his heart - what was Lin Zhiying worried about before?
Huang Yuying didn't know what to do, and Lin Zhiying was not very happy at first when he learned that the company arranged for him to star in "Dragon and Tiger Gate".
The reason is that the producer of "Dragon Tiger Gate", Media Asia Film Company, and Lin Youlun are not very well alike, and Lin Zhiying is indeed a contracted singer of Lin Youlun UFO Records. Although Lin Zhiying has the intention of developing in the direction of an actor, his current career focus is still on being a good singer, and he is a little worried that he will not be able to be a good person in the UFO record company after starring in this movie.
Zhu Yanping came this time and brought a piece of news to Lin Zhiying, which was regarded as dispelling his concerns.
Changhong Film and Television Company has promised to let Lin Zhiying star in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and this TV series is invested by Lin Youlun, which means that Lin Youlun did not have any opinions about Lin Zhiying because of his appearance in "Dragon and Tiger Gate", otherwise he would not have been asked to be the leading actor of the TV series.
Lin Zhiying let go of this matter, of course, the whole person was much more relaxed, he himself may not have much feeling, but others can see it at a glance.
——
Di Pola pulled his son Xie Tingfeng out of the taxi, put on sunglasses and looked sideways, and followed into a teahouse on the side of the road.
In the private room where he had booked, Xie Xian was already impatient to wait.
As soon as Deborah and Xie Tingfeng came in, he opened his mouth and complained: "Hey, can you have a little sense of time, it has been more than twenty minutes since we made an appointment!" ”
"You think I like to be late?" Deborah angrily put her bag on the table, "There is a traffic jam on the road, what can I do?" ”
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to postpone the appointment to meet Wang Jing for half an hour, otherwise he would have come, and you would still be stuck in the road, and there would be no need to talk about things at all."
Di Bo pulled his son to sit down together, touched his head, turned his head and asked Xie Xian, "Do you think Wang Jing will help us with this?" ”
"When that kid hadn't become a climate yet, every time he saw me, 'Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother', he was so affectionate, if I hadn't recommended our son to play "Home Alone". It's still unknown whether Wang Jing's movie can become popular......"
Xie Xian's words are not finished. Deborah interrupted him impatiently: "All right. What you said about how long ago is the old yellow calendar, people are now hot directors in Hong Kong, and the box office of "The Mummy" in Hong Kong has broken 80 million, right? I heard that the box office in the United States exceeded 100 million a week ago, how many Hong Kong directors can make dollars like this? ”
Xie Xian pouted indifferently: "You women just have long hair and short knowledge, why is Wang Jing so capable, do you think this is his credit?" It's not all Mr. Lin supporting him behind his back, believe it or not, movies like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "The Mummy". The results of changing a director to shoot will not be bad, which has little to do with Wang Jingke! ”
"Yes, Wang Jing has no ability, but he has the support of a good friend like Mr. Lin, do you have it?" Deborah sarcastically sneered.
Xie Xian suddenly stammered.
The husband and wife were arguing when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the waiter walked in and told them that a guest had arrived.
As soon as Xie Xian and Deborah stood up, Wang Jing walked in with a smug expression, and greeted Xie Xian and Deborah with a smile on his face.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law. Don't come unharmed! ”
"Ajing, come on. Sit down! ”
Xie Xian pulled Wang Jing to sit down, and at the same time did not forget to glance at his wife proudly, so he was clearly saying, see it? Although Wang Jing is awesome now, he still respects me as much as before.
Deborah rolled her eyes angrily, Wang Jing This was purely a polite remark when they met, and Xie Xian actually took it seriously.
As soon as Wang Jing sat down, Xie Xian asked the waiter to serve snacks.
Xie Tingfeng, who was sitting between Xie Xian and Deborah, looked at the hot shrimp dumplings on the table, and reached out to get them, but was stopped by his mother.
"You kid, why are you so rude, don't you see that Uncle Wang hasn't eaten yet?"
Deborah reprimanded Xie Tingfeng, turned his head and was about to apologize to Wang Jingdao, but Wang Jing stood up and put the plate of dim sum directly in front of Xie Tingfeng.
"Fourth sister-in-law, child, let him eat if he likes it."
Deborah smiled awkwardly and asked Xie Tingfeng to quickly say thank you to Wang Jing.
Wang Jing looked at Xie Tingfeng and couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
"Time flies so fast, it's been almost ten years in a blink of an eye, I think when I first filmed "Home Alone", he was still a little small, and now he has grown so big."
These words fell on Xie Xian and Deborah, but it was a different taste.
After acting in "Home Alone", Xie Tingfeng became a well-known child star in Hong Kong overnight, and in those years, he would shoot 6 or 7 plays almost every year, each with a salary of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, you must know that it was Hong Kong in the 80s, but it is not as good as the current salary of 1 million, and the salary of Zhou Yanfa and Cheng Long was only about 2 million at that time.
Of course, Xie Tingfeng could get such a high salary at that time, and it also had a lot to do with the huge sensation caused by the "Home Alone" series of movies in the Hong Kong film industry, the 40 million box office that year was more valuable than the current 40 million box office, and later the Hong Kong media had a statistic that almost half of the Hong Kong people went to watch the movie at that time, and this kind of thing is unimaginable now.
Wang Jing became famous with this film, and since then he has firmly occupied the title of Hong Kong's most successful commercial film director until now, and more importantly, he met Lin Youlun because of this film.
Xie Tingfeng is also a beneficiary of this movie, but the good times did not last long, after 4 or 5 years of popularity, fewer and fewer film dealers came to him to film, and the salary also fell back from the first-line movie stars of the year to the value of ordinary actors.
One reason is that the market for children's comedies is slowly shrinking, and the other reason is that Xie Tingfeng, who is growing up, is facing the same problem as all child stars, the audience only likes the way he was when he was a child, and he can't always keep the same appearance as a child.
During the time when Xie Tingfeng became popular, Xie Xian and Deborah didn't have to work at all, and they could live very comfortably with the salary earned by their son, but as Xie Tingfeng grew up, such days were gone.
In the past two years, Xie Xian has begun to be active on the TV screen again, and Deborah is also planning to make a comeback recently, all because of his tight hands.
Of course, what they hope most is that their son can become popular again.
During the chat, Xie Xian asked if Wang Jing had any roles on hand recently that were suitable for his son to play, and inadvertently exposed their purpose of inviting Wang Jing out for tea.
Wang Jing is not surprised by this, if you want to say that Xie Xian and his wife just invited him out for tea and reminisced, they would not believe him if they killed him.
"There is a role, but he can't play it."
Wang Jing clasped his hands and pouted with some regret.
"No way, my son has been very talented in acting since he was a child, you should know that." Xie Xian felt that even if Wang Jing wanted to prevaricate himself, he should find a good reason, saying that Xie Tingfeng couldn't act, which he couldn't accept.
"Fourth brother, don't get me wrong, he really can't play this role...... Because he has to be able to fight, your son doesn't meet this alone, and he is a little old and doesn't meet the requirements of this play. "The play Wang Jing said is a costume action movie, the actor has been set to be played by Li Lianjie, the content is about the story of Hong Xiguan who is the same era as Fang Shiyu, and it needs to find a young actor who can play Hong Xiguan's son, Xie Tingfeng obviously does not meet the conditions.
Because Xie Xian mentioned it, Wang Jing would mention this role, and this role has actually found a suitable candidate in the mainland.
"Now when filming a scene, you don't have to have a martial arts foundation like before, Zhang Manyu and Lin Qingxia in "New Dragon Gate Inn" are not beating women, but isn't the movie as exciting?" Xie Xian said a little unwillingly.
Wang Jing shrugged, "Fourth brother, you are a little embarrassed for me, you also know how capable I am, I can't learn the set of Xu Ke in "New Dragon Gate Inn"...... If I had learned, I would have won the Academy Award a long time ago. ”
Wang Jing said this, which is equivalent to completely breaking Xie Xian's thoughts.
Xie Xian originally wanted to fight for it again to see if there were any other roles, but at this time, Wang Jing's big brother rang out.
In front of Xie Xian and his wife, Wang Jing answered the phone.
"What, you're done there? Okay, you go to the restaurant first, I've already booked a seat, I'll go right away! ”
After Wang Jing answered the phone, he shrugged apologetically to Xie Xian and Debora.
"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed, Taiwan's director Zhu Yanping came to Hong Kong, Aaron asked me to come forward to receive him on his behalf, Zhu Yanping has begun to urge me now, I think that's all for today!"
Wang Jing was determined to leave, and although Xie Xian and Deborah were very reluctant, they could only watch him say goodbye and leave. (To be continued......)
