After Chen Jie heard Hong Jinbao's words, he smiled and said, "Brother Sanmao, if he can direct this movie, it would be the best." It just so happened that I took this opportunity to learn more about filmmaking with Brother Sanmao. ”

Hong Jinbao listened to Chen Jie's words and said with a smile: "You said that this movie is so important, how can I rest assured that the movie will be directed by others." Okay, let's get down to business. Ajie, the main actors in this "Mr. Zombie", who are you going to find to play them? ”

Chen Jie thought for a while, looked at Hong Jinbao and said, "I want Brother Ying to play the role of Uncle Nine." ”

"A-Ying!" Hong Jinbao said unexpectedly.

"That's right, Uncle Nine's role is very important, not only will he be the protagonist of this movie, but I will also recommend him to play that TV series. And Brother Ying's image of the Taoist priest in your "Scary People" is really outstanding. I feel that in addition to his reputation, people can play the image of Uncle Nine well. In addition, the most critical point is that Brother Ying is a member of the Hong family's class! Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao nodded after listening to Chen Jie's words and said, "A-Ying, where is it up to me to say, I believe he will definitely be very excited when he knows that you praise him like this." What about other roles? ”

"Qiusheng let Xiaohao play, he has good skills, and his role as a martial idiot in "Ip Man" is also recognized by everyone. I believe he can play this role well. Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao nodded and did not speak.

"As for the role of Wencai, I was stumped. This character is mainly funny, so that everyone looks like he is a little silly, and it is best to make him want to laugh when he sees him. It's a pity that we don't have such actors around us. Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Ajie, what do you think of Xu Guanying?" ”

Chen Jie was also stunned for a moment after hearing Hong Jinbao's words, of course the candidate in Chen Jie's heart was Xu Guanying. It's a pity that he has no connection with him, and it may cost more to find Xu Guanying, and Chen Jie has reduced the investment in this "Mr. Zombie" from 8 million Hong Kong dollars in his memory to 4 million. This is because Chen Jie plans to do some special effects in the movie himself. In addition, with his memory, some unnecessary shots do not need to be taken, and there are many detours that can be avoided. But 4 million is tight enough, after all, making this kind of movie props is a considerable expense, and if you find Xu Guanying to join, it is likely to overspend.

"Xu Guanying is very suitable for this movie, but if you want to invite him, it may cost a lot of money!" Chen Jie said.

After Hong Jinbao glanced at Chen Jie, he said with a smile, "It doesn't cost much, and because of your relationship, Xu Guanwen has already bought back the shares of Xu's Film Company from Jiahe, and the three Xu brothers owe you a favor." And Xu Guanying is not as valuable as his brother Xu Guanwen and younger brother Xu Guanjie. His current salary should be about 300,000. If we come forward to invite, I think about 200,000 will be able to join our movie. ”

Chen Jie didn't expect Xu Guanying's current salary to be so low, you must know that his younger brother Xu Guanjie's salary for filming "Best Partner 2" has reached 2 million Hong Kong dollars. is now one of the highest-paid actors in Hong Kong, and his brother Xu Guanwen has long been famous in Hong Kong, and his worth is definitely not below one million. But I didn't expect Xu Guanying's salary to be so low. In Chen Jie's impression, in terms of movies alone, Chen Jie's favorite among the three Xu brothers is Xu Guanying. He is not as famous as his brother Xu Guanwen and younger brother Xu Guanjie, but he is fully committed to playing his small character role in every movie, no matter how many scenes, it will always be unforgettable.

"In that case, let's ask Xu Guanying to play the role of Wencai." Chen Jie said.

"What do you think of the rest of the characters?" Hong Jinbao asked.

"The remaining two heroines are not very brilliant anyway, so it is better for us to give these two characters to Qiu Degen as favors, and let them choose two characters over there." Chen Jie said.

"Hehe, Applejack, that's a great idea. What about this security captain Ah Wei? Hong Jinbao said with a smile.

"I really don't have any ideas for this role, but I have a requirement for this role, as long as this requirement is met, it doesn't matter who plays it, even if it's a newcomer, you can play this role well!" Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao heard Chen Jie say this, and asked curiously, "What requirements?" ”

Chen Jie smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, just one word 'cheap'!" ”

Hong Jinbao was stunned after listening to Chen Jie's words, no one expected Chen Jie to make such an unexpected request.

"As long as the role of Ah Wei is 'cheap' enough, he can play it well, and it is best to stop wherever he goes, and he doesn't have to do anything to make people feel that this person is very 'cheap', then it is the most perfect." Chen Jie said.

"Hehe, your kid's request is really unique enough, but we really don't have such talents in our Hong family class, I'll pay attention to it recently." Hong Jinbao said.

The two chatted about the filming of "Mr. Zombie" again, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and Hong Jinbao proposed that the two go out for lunch together, and of course Chen Jie would not refuse. Just as the two of them were walking towards Hong Jinbao's car, a bright sports car stopped in front of the two.

"Senior brother, where are you going?" A man walked down from the sports car and said.

Hong Jinbao's brothers, there are only two people who can afford to drive a sports car in this era, one is Yuan Biao, and the other is Cheng Long. And Yuan Biao's personality is not so flamboyant, and he won't drive a sports car back and forth every day if he has money, so it is no surprise that this person is the future international action superstar Cheng Long.

"Aaron, why are you here?" Hong Jinbao asked.

"I'm here to have a drink with my brother." Cheng Long looked at Chen Jie after speaking, he heard He Guanchang talk about Chen Jie when he was filming "Cannonball Speed" in the United States some time ago. After returning to Hong Kong recently, Cheng Long, who saw the popularity of "Ip Man", also curiously walked into the cinema to watch this movie, and I have to say that it is indeed very enjoyable. Looking for someone to inquire about Chen Jie again, Cheng Long couldn't help but be startled. Not to mention Chen Jie's singing and writing books, but Chen Jie is now the screenwriter of the top four box office movies in Hong Kong, which gave Cheng Long some ideas. He wanted to ask Chen Jie to write a script for himself. Until Chen Jie had a good relationship with his eldest brother Hong Jinbao, he came to Hong Jinbao today in the hope that Hong Jinbao would come forward to help him ask Chen Jie for a script. But I didn't want to find my eldest brother Hong Jinbao and Chen Jie walking out together as soon as I arrived in Baohe.

Hong Jinbao saw Cheng Long looking at Chen Jie, so he introduced the two of them, "Ajie, this is my junior brother Cheng Long." Aaron: This is my little brother Chen Jie. Just call him Applejack. ”

"Brother Sanmao, where do I use you to introduce, I'm a fan of Brother Long!" Chen Jie said. In fact, what Chen Jie said was right, but it was limited to Cheng Long in his previous life.

"Hello Ajie, I just watched your "Ip Man", and it is indeed wonderful. I want to find a few little devils to have a good **** game. Cheng Long said.

"You two don't be polite here, Applejack and I are going to lunch, why don't you Aaron go together!" Hong Jinbao said.

"Of course, let's go to the Kowloon Hotel. Where the seafood is very good, it's rare to meet Applejack today. I'll invite you for this meal, senior brother, don't fight with me. Cheng Long said.

After the three of them drove to the Kowloon Hotel, Cheng Long ordered a large table of dishes and opened three bottles of XO to let Chen Jie really see what luxury is.

When the three of them were eating, Cheng Long kept toasting Chen Jie, but fortunately, Hong Jinbao knew that Chen Jie's alcohol consumption was average. Helped him block a lot.

"Bring me three more bottles." Cheng Long shouted to the waiter outside the private room.

"It's almost like today, and it's time to drink more." Hong Jinbao said.

"Senior brother, this is not like you!" Cheng Long said.

"Won't I have something to do in a while! Applejack had just written a script, and I'd have to go back to the office to plan it again. Hong Jinbao said.

"What! Applejack writes another script, show me where to go. Cheng Long was interested when he heard Hong Jinbao say this.

"The script is in the company, and it was not brought out." Hong Jinbao said.

Cheng Long was a little disappointed after hearing this. took advantage of the strength of the wine and said to Chen Jie

"Ajie, you're the most sought-after screenwriter in Hong Kong now, when will you write a script for me?"

Originally, Cheng Long's words were pretended to be too drunk with the strength of wine, and he said it half-jokingly. I also wanted to test Chen Jie's attitude.

"No problem, but I'll have to give me some time."
