Chapter 185. "The Condor Heroes" is in progress

Hong Kong Thunder Pictures.

Inside the President's Office.

Through the blinds, Chen Xuanting looked at Qiu Shuzhen, who had recently served as a thunder clerk.

Thunder is short of funds, as the first artist to join Thunder, Qiu Shuzhen took the initiative to take on the duties of a clerk, and it was free.

Chen Xuanting fully understood her thoughts, and knew that she was uneasy about the things that affected Chen Xuanting and Li Jiaxin because of herself.

Chen Xuanting wanted to open his mouth to say to her, no matter what happened to you, but he couldn't open his mouth.

At this moment, I saw that Qiu Shuzhen was writing something. Today's Qiu Shuzhen's surname is still the same, and her black tight overalls perfectly highlight her graceful figure, but at this time, Chen Xuanting couldn't give birth to a trace of love, but looked at her back with a little sadness.

Today's Qiu Shuzhen is the busiest person in the company, because in addition to filming, she also has to be Chen Xuanting's assistant. Thunder Company was newly established, personnel, equipment, co-ordination, deployment and other things, because of Chen Xuanting's absence, a large part of the things need to be decided by her.

Stephen Chow is busy filming, the company's affairs are not much asked, Ren Dahua is a little better, most of the recruits in the company are novices, and Ren Dahua, as a "senior" who has worked in the entertainment industry for several years, has to guide them one by one.

And Chen Darong and Sister-in-law Zhen have the title of manager, but they are doing things that are more bitter and tiring than anyone in the company. What cleaning, cleaning, handling, etc., Qiu Shuzhen and others persuaded many times, but they were all rejected by Chen Darong. He said that he was not old enough to sit in the office. Regarding this, Chen Xuanting and others had no choice but to helplessly watch Chen's father and sister-in-law busy before and after the company.

Frowning, Chen Xuanting sat down and looked at the recent company's accounts, it has been a month since the release of "Across the Seas", and the current box office revenue has reached an astonishing 27 million, plus the copyright fees sold to Taiwan, Singapore Malaysia and Thailand, the total income has reached an astonishing 40 million, refreshing many impossible records in history. Because of the popularity of the box office, it has earned nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars for the company, which is also one of the company's main incomes.

The other is the movie "Undefeated in the East", which is currently being released. With the theatrical popularity of "Undefeated in the East", the box office has been higher and higher. The appeal of Lin Qingxia and Jet Li is absolutely extraordinary, and Chen Xuanting's lover Li Jiaxin has attracted a large number of male fans, and it can be said that this drama has a strong attraction.

Thunder Pictures was established for nearly three months, and after experiencing a shortage of funds crisis, it has gradually gained a foundation and gained a firm foothold, and has become one of the well-known entertainment companies with "Across the Seas" and "Undefeated in the East". In his words, "As long as the company is good." ”

Thinking of Ren Dahua's words, Chen Xuanting suddenly thought of a popular singer talent contest in later generations. It was "Super Girl", which was popular for several years in later generations, and when "Super Girl" was in the national finals that year, more than 200 million people watched it, which was unheard of for a local station. Jointly organized by TVB and Thunder Pictures, Chen Xuanting believes that this show will be more successful.

After thinking about it, Chen Xuanting felt that this proposal was very tempting, and hurriedly found all the company's executives to have a meeting in the conference room.

Sure enough, when everyone saw the project that Chen Xuanting said, they were obviously moved, and their hearts were itching. The idea proposed by Chen Xuanting's project is absolutely unprecedented. Although there are newcomer song competitions and Hong Kong Got Talent, these are not real star-making models, they just give the grassroots class a stage, and there are not too many requirements for the styling of these contestants. And a program like "Super Girl" is an entertainment program that fundamentally shapes female idols.

What is an idol? An idol is the one who can conquer the audience first in terms of appearance! People like Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and Liming all belong to idol singers, while Jacky Cheung belongs to the powerful faction.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of powerful factions in Hong Kong, and there are many idol male stars, but there is a lack of idols with female surnames.

Qu index came, and there were only a few people such as Li Jiaxin, Zhou Huimin, and Qiu Shuzhen. And among these people, there are very few who can sing and dance.

Now Chen Xuanting proposes this show, creating a civilian Cinderella into a princess, and the audience decides the final champion, thinking about this idea, everyone feels excited.

After Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua saw it, they stared at Chen Xuanting with very admiring eyes. Stephen Chow said: "Ting, I didn't expect it, I was going to say two words about you when I saw you coming today, but now I see this ......" Stephen Chow sighed, "I don't know how to describe you." ”

The most familiar with Chen Xuanting's personal ability is probably Qiu Shuzhen, because Chen Xuanting made many excellent planning plans when he was in the sky. Now seeing Chen Xuanting's plan, Qiu Shuzhen somehow turned red, and seemed to think of something.

The heart is heartbeat, but everyone found that although this plan is perfect, but once this event is held, it seems that the initiative is on the TV station. So how does the company make money? Is it just to recruit a few idols? Or is it advertising for a company? With these are pretty good, but in the bottom of everyone's hearts, they still pay more attention to money.

Hearing everyone's questions, Chen Xuanting smiled, he was not in a hurry, after all, in addition to being the boss of Thunder Pictures, he was also the senior producer of wireless. He had thought of this situation as well. Chen Xuanting feels that everyone still underestimated this popular idol's show. Don't say that there is no money to make, even if you post money, Chen Xuanting will not hesitate to do it.

Chen Xuanting told everyone about some of the things he learned in later generations, but Chen Xuanting did not mention advertising, after all, those are the interests of TVB. All he proposed was to maximize the name of Thunder Corporation at the event.

In a moment, the conference room reached a circle, and they all raised their hands to vote in support of Chen Xuanting's proposal, which will be held in TVB's TV City.

As for the name, Chen Xuanting also thought about it. It's called "Super Girl"

Back at TVB, Chen Xuanting directly found Qi Qingsi, who is now in charge of Ritchie's work, and showed her his plan to hold the "Super Girl" plan.

Qi Qingsi looked at it very carefully, and after reading it once, he turned the plan over and read it again.

Until you see through it completely.

"Ting, I have to say, your project is very attractive." Qi Qingsi said, "Today's Hong Kong girls are fascinated by idol worship, like our Xueman, who also likes Li Jiaxin very much! It seemed that he glanced at Chen Xuanting intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Xuanting was stunned, and said in his heart, could it be that some gossip about himself and Li Jiaxin has reached her ears recently?

"But after all, Hong Kong is too small, and if it is only limited here, it will not have much influence, so I suggest that the scope of selection of girls be expanded!"

After listening to Qi Qingsi, Chen Xuanting was taken aback, "What do you mean-expand the scope of the draft?" ”

"Well, yes, I decided that regardless of Hong Kong people, whether it is from Taiwan, the mainland, Singapore, or even Chinese girls from other regions, as long as they have good singing skills, as long as they want to be stars, they can give it a try!"

Qi Qingsi's decision couldn't help but make Chen Xuanting admire her courage. You must know that at the beginning, Chen Xuanting also planned to expand the scope of recruitment, but he was afraid that Qi Qingsi would worry about the ratings of this show, and failed to bring it up, but now she personally mentioned it.

"That's a good suggestion!" Chen Xuanting said, "If you have your support, I think you will be able to succeed!" ”

"Hehe, there are no outsiders here, you still call me Sister Qi, it's more comfortable to listen to." Qi Qingsi smiled.

Chen Xuanting had no choice but to nod.

"Now Xueman is filming "The Condor Heroes", the ratings of this drama are good, I am ready to speed up the shooting, what do you think?" Qi Qingsi changed the subject.

Chen Xuanting nodded and said: "Of course it's good to speed up, I'm afraid that the actors won't be able to bear it!" What Chen Xuanting was thinking about was Li Ruotong, who was busy filming while being a flight attendant, and when I saw her a few days ago, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Qi Qingsi thought that he was caring about his baby daughter Li Xueman, and said with a smile: "That's right, Xueman's girl has complained in front of me more than once, saying how tiring filming is, hehe, after all, she is still a child!" ”

In the eyes of any mother, no matter how old her daughter is, she is a child! This is an immutable law.

"Ah Ting, if you have time, go to the crew to see her, it can be regarded as a class visit, after all, this drama is produced by you, don't always see no one!"

During this time, Chen Xuanting was busy with the affairs of Thunder Pictures, but he delayed the affairs of many TV stations.

Nodding, Chen Xuanting said, "I will!" ”

The filming site of TVB's "The Condor Heroes".

Everyone was busy, and the camera was humming along the shooting track. The scene in this episode is Yang Guo played by Louis Koo, who was beaten by Li Xueman and his martial arts brothers, and accidentally used "Toad Gong" to injure a person, and then fled to the ancient tomb to meet the story of Xiaolongnu.

Gu Tianle is older than Li Xue, and it is just right according to the plot. But compared to getting up, he is not as good as Li Xueman. So after filming a few times, Li Tiansheng, as the director, was very helpless. As a new director, Li Tiansheng was pulled out by Chen Xuanting, a director who had only filmed small productions before, and suddenly received such a big production, of course, he worked hard again, and he was afraid of living up to Chen Xuanting's expectations. Therefore, in the shooting, it was hard to be perfect.

However, Gu Tianle is not angry, he used to blow water and say how awesome he was when he fought, but when it came to filming, he only knew that he only had a set of flower fists and embroidered legs.

Especially playing against Li Xueman, he was either beaten in the head or kicked in the stomach, I really don't know how he came out to mix before?

As his friend, Wang Zulan, the wireless Sanbao, said that Brother Le doesn't like to bully women, so he will be merciful!

I don't dare to be true or false, in short, filming this part of the scene made director Li Tiansheng depressed to death. Fortunately, when Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu met in the ancient tomb in the next filming, Gu Tianle acted very well, and the ignorant first love was attached to love and what kind of love, and the interpretation was extremely realistic.

How did this director Li Tiansheng know that Louis Koo had pursued Li Ruotong, but it was a pity that Lang was ruthless with his concubine, and Li Ruotong was disdainful of his kindness. On the contrary, it was Xuan Xuan, who made a cameo appearance as a maid in the play, seeing Gu Tianle scratching his eyebrows at Li Ruotong in the play, hating it so much that when he took a break to pour tea for Gu Tianle, he deliberately poured a cup of hot boiling water, which made Gu Tianle jump like a monkey.

The arrival of Chen Xuanting temporarily relieved the people who had received a high degree of oppression from the director. Filming is temporarily stopped.

Director Li Tiansheng walked up to Chen Xuanting and reported to him in detail about the filming.

Chen Xuanting also put forward some suggestions of his own, such as when filming martial arts scenes, it is necessary to distinguish it from previous martial arts films, not to take the traditional path, and it is best to add some computer special effects. Although this is a bit costly, it can produce good results.

Then Chen Xuanting condoled some of the old actors in the crew, most of them are old actors in the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", such as Zeng Jiang who plays Huang Yaoshi, Qin Huang who plays the old naughty boy, Yang Zelin who plays Ouyang Feng, West Poison Ouyang Feng, and so on. For these licorice drama bones, Chen Xuanting admires them from the bottom of his heart, after all, young people nowadays are too impetuous, and there are not many old artists like them who are both virtuous and artistic.

After condolences to these old artists, before Chen Xuanting had time to talk to Li Ruotong and Gu Tianle, Li Xueman rushed up and kept complaining, saying that the time here was too tight, how bad the food was, and who else bullied her, etc., which made Chen Xuanting cry and laugh.

finally sent this little girl away, Chen Xuanting was about to walk over and say a few words to Li Ruotong, but the director over there shouted to turn on the camera.

The actors twitched and took their places.

Chen Xuanting had no choice but to smile at Li Ruotong helplessly, and Li Ruotong gave him a roll of his eyes. Probably she already knew that Chen Xuanting and Li Jiaxin had a conflict because of Qiu Shuzhen, so she was so "unfriendly".

In this regard, Chen Xuanting could only express helplessness. Because he has been very busy at work recently, he rarely thinks about emotional problems, which is also the preciousness of Chen Xuanting, no matter what kind of things he encounters in life, once it comes to work, he never brings emotions in. Now Li Ruotong's eyes made him a little sad

When he returned to his office, after processing a few documents, before his butt warmed up the chair, the phone rang, but it turned out that the Hong Kong Film Association invited him to participate in the awards ceremony of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

In other words, the Hong Kong Film Awards is the most important award in the Greater China film industry in Hong Kong and the three regions across the Taiwan Strait, and it is known as the three awards for the highest achievement of Chinese films along with the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the Mainland Film Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. The Academy Awards were founded in 1982 at a time when the New Wave of Hong Kong cinema was booming, and the establishment of the Awards greatly encouraged the creativity of filmmakers and led to the emergence of Hong Kong films. Since its inception, the Academy Awards have been based in Hong Kong, and have broken the barriers to fully accept Chinese-language film works from Taiwan, mainland China and the world, so it is the first film award of its kind in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait to accommodate Chinese-language films from all over the world, so it has established a decisive and transcendent position in the Chinese-language film industry.

Speaking of the Academy Awards, Thunder Pictures actually has only one drama shortlisted, which is "Across the Seas", which has just been released for more than a month. However, this film, which has only been released for a short time, has been shortlisted for several awards with its impressive box office results and some artistic characteristics.

Since Chen Xuanting's debut, he has personally invested in several super-grossing movies, from "The Legend of Lei Luo" to "Las Vegas Tycoon", from "Laus Tycoon" to "Lame Hao", but these scenes were all filmed by him during the canopy. It has nothing to do with the thunder, in other words, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. And it is precisely the two plays he once played in Tianmu, "The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo" and "Lame Hao", which have become the big hits of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, with continuous praise and are known as the best winners of the Academy Awards.

Now that Chen Xuanting's three dramas filmed by two companies have won several nominations for the Academy Awards, his own plays are fighting against himself, which can't help but appear a very dramatic scene.

Under such circumstances, as soon as the shortlist of the Academy Awards came out, the media naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to make news, and Chen Xuanting was hyped again. The focus of the debate about Chen Xuanting's three plays is which one will win the award. What's more, they are actually discussing how many awards these three films can win. And whether Chen Xuanting can defeat other opponents in one fell swoop and win his own screenwriting award, making him a screenwriter saint deserved. For a while, the media was very lively.

Regarding the media hype, Chen Xuanting's mentality is quite calm, and he doesn't think too much about the so-called awards. On the one hand, of course, because he is only interested in making money, as for those names, forget it, on the other hand, because he has the foresight to know what the results of the Academy Awards will be. In particular, Thunder's "Across the Seas" has certainly achieved extraordinary results at the box office, but in terms of the depth of the film alone, it is really difficult to say that it is a classic, and it is undoubtedly impossible to win an award with such a film.

Because of this thought, when Chen Xuanting went to the award ceremony, his mentality can be said to be very peaceful, and there was no excitement and extravagant hope at all.

Of course, Chen Xuanting went with his sister Zhou Xiuna, who has been pestering him recently. The little girl is naturally active and energetic, how can she be missing from such a lively occasion? Even if Chen Xuanting didn't take her there, she would rush to join in the fun, where could others control her. Chen Xuanting knew this, and wanted to make her happy, so he naturally said that he would take her to the Academy Awards. Seeing Chen Xuanting love herself so much, Zhou Xiuna's pride and excitement can be imagined.
