Chapter 116. Invest in "Cheating Treasure"
After the song, Chen Xuanting and Ye Qianwen separated, Andy Lau and Li Jiaxin came over and said, "Ah Ting, don't you thank me soon?" I've helped you block a lot of rivals. β
Chen Xuanting smiled: "In my opinion, you make all your rivals more threatening!" β
"Yes, Andy is the most handsome, coolest and gentlemanly man I have ever met, I don't know how much better than someone!" Li Jiaxin also joked.
Andy Lau touched his chin and said with a signature smile: "Li Meinu, you say that I'm going to be fluttering like this-it's better to do this, I invite you to shoot a scene-Ah Ting, you write us a script, you want love!" β
Andy Lau actually just talked about it casually, but Chen Xuanting suddenly remembered a blockbuster romantic comedy co-starring Andy Lau and Li Jiaxin in his previous life - "Prince Dark Horse".
This drama was released in the summer vacation that year, directed by the fat man Wang Jing, the fat man Wang Jing himself is a master of the "chasing girls" movie, this time it is in the caricature of the characters, such as Andy Lau's "angry hair rushing to the crown" style, Ye Dexian is greedy for money and cherishes her son's "rotten wife" surname, which makes it different from the traditional "modernity". Therefore, it attracted many fans, and the box office soared.
Do you want to write this script?
However, at the thought of letting his girlfriend Li Jiaxin and Andy Lau play a couple on the big screen, Chen Xuanting actually felt a trace of jealousy.
Just as he was thinking, a chubby man suddenly came over and said with a smile: "Chen Dacaizi, hello!" β
Chen Xuanting was stunned, "You areβ"
Andy Lau next to him introduced: "This is director Xiao Ruoyuan, and he is also a famous screenwriter and talent in the entertainment industry!" β
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Xiao Ruoyuan waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'm afraid that the name of this screenwriter saint and genius is going to be virtuous, especially in front of you, Mr. Chen, I am even more disobedient." β
After graduating from the Department of History of the University of Hong Kong, he worked as a market representative in a stockbrokerage firm, and after the Hong Kong stock market crash in 1973, he entered TVB and served as an anchor for evening news reports.
He then joined Leigh's TV, where he started out as a news reporter and then switched to TV production. Xiao Ruoyuan wrote Li's first full-length TV drama script "Crocodile Tears", and then wrote a total of more than 800 episodes of TV scripts; Among them, such as "Six Tribulations of Floating Life", "Silkworm Transformation", "The Kindness of the Earth" and other long dramas, they are all classics of the year. Xiao Ruoyuan is famous for his erudition, and is known as "the holy hand of screenwriters" and "Xiao Caizi".
is such a person, in his previous life, he was the first to dare to eat crabs and shoot a 3D "Meat ~ Futon", which can be regarded as adding glory to Hong Kong and even China's ** film industry.
During the conversation, Chen Xuanting learned that Xiao Ruoyuan recently opened a "One Yuan Studio" to invest in shooting some movies, and because of financial problems, he had too much contact with Tianmu. Andy Lau sees that he is a peer old-timer, and he also respects and adds respect to him.
Recently, Xiao Ruoyuan plans to put China's classical ~ love masterpiece "Jade ~ Futon" back on the big screen, and the name is "Jade ~ Futon Stealing ~ Love Treasure". It's a pity that due to some reasons, the funds are not in place, and as a screenwriter, he thought of Tianmu Company again.
But who is Andy Lau? The four kings of Hong Kong, in addition to being the boss of the movie, are also public stars, and for him, he will never invest in shooting any tertiary films.
This Xiao Ruoyuan does not give up, this time he relies on his qualifications and connections to be thick enough, hoping that Andy Lau can change his mind.
I never thought that Andy Lau still shook his head and refused, but just when Xiao Ruoyuan had nothing to do, Chen Xuanting, the behind-the-scenes boss, jumped out.
Immediately, Xiao Ruoyuan began to work on Chen Xuanting.
Chen Xuanting is also a pragmatic person, but he clearly knows that in his previous life, this "Stealing ~ Love Treasure" broke the highest box office record of Hong Kong's third-level ~ films, reaching an astonishing more than 40 million!
It's a fool not to make money.
Chen Xuanting is not a fool. So he began to have a long talk with Xiao Ruoyuan. It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, this old and young talented person actually thinks that the other party is very good, and he has the feeling of seeing each other late.
"Don't worry, Director Xiao, you'll be on my side with this, but I want to read the script first." Chen Xuanting said to Xiao Ruoyuan.
"No problem, I'll give you the script tomorrow, I hope we can cooperate successfully this time!" Xiao Ruoyuan laughed.
Chen Xuanting also smiled: "I hope so." β
The two hit it off.
Andy Lau glanced over there from time to time. He was afraid that Chen Xuanting would agree to Xiao Ruoyuan's request.
When Chen Xuanting and Xiao Ruoyuan broke up, he hurriedly came over and said, "Ah Ting, what have you said after talking for so long?" β
Chen Xuanting didn't understand his intentions, so he said, "I didn't say anything, just chatted casually." β
"Oh," Seeing that Chen Xuanting was reluctant to say, Andy Lau stopped asking. At this time, Li Jiaxin happened to come over and invite Chen Xuanting to dance.
Chen Xuanting patted Andy Lau's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, no matter what I do, it's for the good of the company!" β
Andy Lau: "......"
Before he could figure it out, in the distance, Chen Xuanting was already dancing with Li Jiaxin
If Chen Xuanting's promotion from director to the youngest producer of wireless caused a huge reaction in the TV circle, then this time his exposure as the invisible boss of the canopy at the dance party, and the exposure of his identity as a lyric writing talent has set off a thousand waves in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry!
The paparazzi who relied on gossip to eat almost all of them went out to look for clues, and at the same time, the front pages of major newspapers and magazines were published - a shocking revelation, it turned out that the wireless genius was the invisible boss of the sky! ββThere is a whirlwind in the music scene, and the talented person is Chen Xuanting! - At a young age, let's see how this mysterious future entertainment tycoon is made! - Can't hide it, Andy Lau broke the truth, and the invisible boss sang "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"!
β¦β¦β¦ Gossip news is overwhelming, and it can't be stopped.
Chen Xuanting, who wanted to keep a low profile, was once again thrown to the forefront of the entertainment media, and those who knew him called him one after another to confirm the authenticity of the report, which made Chen Xuanting tireless.
Even those neighbors who were originally selling vegetables in the vegetable market called Chen Xuanting and said that a reporter interviewed him, should he tell them that Chen Xuanting was so smart because he had eaten the green vegetables and radishes they sold when he was a child? !
Chen Xuanting said depressedly, whatever you want!
For example, on a thunderous and lightning night, a vegetable market stall owner saw a golden dragon hovering in the vegetable market, and then saw Chen Xuanting carrying a lunch box to bring food to his father Chen Darong.
Also, Chen Xuanting has never been very good in exams, and the enthusiastic and thoughtful chicken seller always gives him chicken heads to eat, which means that he is the best, but he never thought that Chen Xuanting would take the first place in the school in the next exam!
Where can Chen Xuanting take care of reading newspapers at this time, and he can't hide from these reporters.
When he took a shortcut to go to work on wireless, he had just dodged a wave of reporters ambushed around, and was stopped by someone, Chen Xuanting was relieved, but it was his subordinate Zhang Daming.
Zhang Daming held a cigarette in his mouth, looked super obscene, and said: "Look at you, how miserable you are, you have a stubble, you haven't slept, okay?" β
Chen Xuanting said angrily: "What do you say? β
"I went to the rich man last night, and even the young lady there was talking about you, which shows that your popularity has surpassed that of the Hong Kong Governor Chow Yun-fat!"
"Hey, that's the pain of being famous!" Chen Xuanting sighed.
"Hey!" Zhang Daming also sighed, "I want to be as famous as you but can't get it - it's really more popular than people!" β
"Pick, you're not here to smoke, are you?" Chen Xuanting glared at him.
Zhang Daming hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not-it's Shao Tycoon's invitation!" β
"Please come over?"
"Uh-huh, yes."
"It's miserable, I'm going to die!" Chen Xuanting was depressed again.
As Run Run Shaw gets older, he doesn't come to the wireless inspection work much anymore, and he basically spends his time doing tai chi and practicing health preservation techniques. However, he still retains his personal office.
And this office is called "ice and fire" by people who do good things.
It means that if you get here, you will either be scolded and sent to hell, or you will be rewarded for one step to heaven. It's really two realms of ice and fire.
Today, when Chen Xuanting came to the door of this office, when he looked up, he felt a sense of high mountains. After all, Run Run Shaw represents the god of cinema of an era.
"Mr. Chen, please go to the small living room upstairs, Boss Shao will come to see you soon!" A messenger-like figure was already waiting respectfully in the foyer of the office building. He hurriedly led Chen Xuanting, who seemed indifferent, to walk quickly through the hall covered with a large carpet with flowers, and quickly came to the living room on the second floor along the spiral staircase.
Someone has already served refreshments for Chen Xuanting. After the errands retreated, Chen Xuanting sat alone on the delicate rattan chair and meditated on his thoughts. Originally, as the boss behind the canopy, I didn't want the outside world to know, but I was afraid that there would be such a day, and what would happen to the wireless side.
Obviously, what are you doing hiding here as a movie boss? Stoop to compromise? Or learn from King Goujian? **What ulterior motives are there! Then come back, our temple can't accommodate you, the great Bodhisattva, and directly expel yourself from the wireless.
And this is what Chen Xuanting is most worried about, because he has really learned a lot of things during this time in wireless, if he leaves here now to take care of Tianmu's business, Chen Xuanting believes that it will definitely not be easy.
The reason why I play such Infernal Affairs is completely for the future, but who can know this?!
