Liu Anran and Yuan Kui chatted very speculatively, and there were a lot of things in and out of the play, and they felt like they were old at first sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the person contacted by Yuan Kui who said he wanted to sell the script also rushed here.

It's not one person, it's two, when Liu Anran saw these two people coming in, his little heart, which he thought was very strong, beat violently.

He knew all these two men in their thirties, and he couldn't say that he knew them, to be exact, he knew who they were. One is Zhuang Wenqiang and the other is Mak Zhaohui, and there is only one script he can think of that can make the two come together, and that is "Infernal Affairs".

People say that when encountering a good thing, it is pie in the sky, and now he feels that this is no longer a pie, but a direct drop of money, which is really a jackpot.

He also couldn't understand why no one had filmed such a good script as Infernal Affairs, which will be released next year.

"Andy, let me introduce you, these two are Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui, and the script I mentioned was jointly written by the two of them. Mak Siu-fai and we are also peers, and have made many films. Yuan Kui introduced with a smile.

"Feel free to do so, let me read the script first." Liu Anran said calmly.

The script is in Zhuang Wenqiang's bag, but now his enthusiasm has been extinguished a lot after seeing Liu Anran, or because Liu Anran is too young.

This is a script that he and Mak Zhaohui have been communicating back and forth for a long time before jointly writing a script, which is made with heart, but it is also a little unpopular, he really can't believe that the young man in front of him can invest.

This is the first time Liu Anran has seen the script of "Infernal Affairs", and after seeing this script, Liu Anran glanced at the two of them. This script is very detailed, which may also have something to do with Mak Siu-fai being a director, and the script is so detailed that even the camera position and lighting are marked in detail.

"The script is very good, but there are some things that need to be changed." Liu Anran looked at the two of them and said with a smile after roughly reading the script.

Hearing Liu Anran's words, Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui frowned unconsciously. Liu Anran watched it too quickly, and they were all worried about whether Liu Anran really looked at it.

"The script is great, one bright and one dark, complement each other. It can be said that this is a perfect script, a pure script, a very good script. However, some details in the script still need to be softened, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Xiangjiang police circles, and even if we shoot it, it will be difficult to release it. Liu Anran said with a smile.

There are still some differences between this script and the movies I saw back then, I should have changed it during filming, and now I can say it in advance to reduce the trouble during shooting.

"I can invest in filming, but I have to buy out the copyright of this script, and the price is 3 million Hong Kong dollars. If you two agree, I plan to control the investment in this script at about 25 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is not enough, I can add it to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Liu Anran didn't give the two of them much time to think about it, and continued to speak.

The script buyout price of 3 million Hong Kong dollars is really high in this era. Because it is now the trough period of Hong Kong films, how much can a movie have at the box office? Normally, it is only two or three million Hong Kong dollars, and better five or six million.

The three of them didn't expect that Liu Anran would give this "sky-high" script buyout price just after seeing this script, let alone that they would be so optimistic about this drama and give a "sky-high" investment.

Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui's hearts were like riding a roller coaster, and they rushed from the bottom to the top in an instant. During this time, the two of them were too bitter, and they found a lot of relationships, but no one was optimistic about this film, and they directly had a negative attitude, saying that they would lose money if they filmed.

"If the two of you agree, I plan to start filming this film next year, and with such a big investment, I must prepare it well." Liu Anran spoke again.

"Mr. Andy, may I ask, why did you invest so much in this script?" Zhuang Wenqiang asked curiously.

"Just now I also talked to Director Yuan about some related issues about screenwriting, there are too few good scripts in recent years, and few people can put so much effort into the writing of scripts like the two of them. I really like this script, but the investment is also very large, so I want to buy out the rights to the script. Liu Anran said with a smile.

The success of "Infernal Affairs" is not only in the Chinese film industry, the real success is in the remake of "The Departed" a few years later.

In the past, he also thought about waiting for the release of "Infernal Affairs" and then rushing to Brad? Pete and Jennifer? Aniston bought the rights to remake the script in advance.

Who wants to make people make people, let himself meet the first hand of this script now, and if he buys it out at this time, the future of the film will be in his own hands.

After Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui glanced at each other, Mak Zhaohui said: "Mr. Andy, I don't know if I can participate in the filming of this film in the future. When I was writing this script, I was involved from the perspective of a director. ”

Liu Anran nodded and said: "This is completely okay, and I can also see through the script that this script is not just for shooting a film." I can grant you your request, and even a sequel can involve you in mentoring. But one thing you have to understand, I will invite a director with more on-camera skills to be the main director. ”

There will be various accidents during the filming of the film, and he is still worried that the quality of the film will change because of his participation, so he tries to use the original crew as much as possible whether it is the shooting time or the crew.

For example, in the battle of the rooftop at the end of the film, the requirement in the script is to let the two protagonists have a wonderful Hong Kong-style fight, but when it is actually filmed, it is a literary drama with wits.

Another is that when Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng finally separated in the film, Chen Yongren left directly in the script, but Huang Zhicheng called Chen Yongren when it was released. Although the change of the scene is very simple, it improves the artistic conception of the film at that time a lot.

Liu Anran doesn't know what happened when he was filming, but he feels that no matter what happens, the final version of "Infernal Affairs" is a classic and rare film.

With Liu Anran's promise, the two of them didn't have any more extra nonsense, and it would be too hypocritical to continue. Liu Anran's ability to invest has made the two of them very happy, not to mention that the cost of buying out the copyright is not low. (To be continued.) )
