Chapter 238: Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley

"Look, I still understand me" Liu Zhenwei hurriedly answered, and said with a smile: "But then again, I didn't expect our Dongcheng Imaging to become a film company so soon." No wonder Yan Tsai dared to say big things in front of the media a few days ago......"

Cheng Xiaodong and the others also looked at Lu Yan with joy on their faces. In fact, if Dongcheng Image does not accept external funds for injection, then the development will inevitably be very slow. Even like New Arts City, it needs to accept the capital injection of the Golden Princess to be able to occupy a place in the Hong Kong film market so quickly.

Now Lu Yan is finally willing to accept the acquisition of LP Company, and it seems that the other party has promised to establish LY Entertainment Company at that time. Lu Yan will attend the position of manager. This is a very good thing for Dongcheng Image's capital injection at that time.

"At that time, LP Company will buy Debao Film Company, but ......" Cheng Xiaodong paused, frowned, and said: "Even if Pan Disheng is willing, will Cen Jianxun be willing?" ”

Although the behind-the-scenes boss of Debao Film Company is Pan Disheng, the real person who is talking is Cen Jianxun. It is actually normal for Cheng Xiaodong and others to have such worries. Lu Yan himself has been thinking about this matter.

However, in front of Cheng Xiaodong and them, Lu Yan said indifferently: "In fact, I don't think much of Debao Film Company. What I really need the most is the Debao Cinema Line, which has been changed by Shaw Brothers Cinemas. We took down this cinema line, and everything else is easy to talk about. And I believe that there should be people willing to stay at Debao Film Company by then. As long as we give them a good enough environment to create."

Speaking of this, Lu Yan suddenly said: "When the time comes, when you receive a notice from the LP company, Brother Xiaodong and Qiang Zai, you two will put aside the work at hand first." When the time comes, you will be responsible for taking over the tasks of Debao Films. Try to keep a group of people, and then integrate the departments of Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company. As for the details, we take our time."

Although Liu Weiqiang is one of the photographers of "The Saint of Gambling", he is now mainly in charge of the camera. And the group of photography teams he led are already very mature. It's okay to take the time to take care of this side of things.

As for Cheng Xiaodong, it's easier. Although he is in charge of the general martial arts director of the two films "The Saint of Gambling" and "Mong Kok Carmen", each of the two films also has a deputy.

Moreover, Wang Jing and Liu Zhenwei can see that Lu Yan is optimistic about and reuses Liu Weiqiang and Cheng Xiaodong. In fact, the two of them were the earliest heroes of Dongcheng Imaging, so it was naturally not surprising that Lu Yan put the burden in their hands

Regarding the process of a Hong Kong movie from "October Pregnancy" to "Falling to the Ground", the current Lu Yan undoubtedly has a lot to say.

"Generally speaking, it's about having an idea and then finding a producer. This producer can be an investor (boss), a shareholder, or no capital, but he must be responsible for financing and selling (distribution, sales). Then find someone to write the script, make a budget, and start filming. After the film is finished, it will be contested, promoted, and distributed......"

What Lu Yan needs to do now is to start legitimizing every step. Most of the current Hong Kong film market are all-round talents. Everyone can even write, direct, and shoot...... It is precisely because of this that although Hong Kong films are competing in this period. But slowly, because of such irregularities, it led to a recession step by step

Combine Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Films, and then arrange the various departments. Films are produced on an assembly line, embellished with elements unique to Hong Kong. Then Dongcheng Imaging will inevitably become Hong Kong's premier film company

"Brother Wang, your script should be finished, right?" Lu Yan suddenly stared at Wang Jing, because he found that Wang Jing brought a folder over today.

"En" Wang Jing looked at the folder in front of his desk and said with a smile: "Yan Zai, you are really subtle."

"That's, otherwise how to be a director and engage in creation"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, everyone immediately smiled. Cheng Xiaodong chattered even more: "Wang Fatzi, you finally came up with the script this time." If you don't take it out again, I think you should simply go to be the producer of "The Saint of Gambling", look at the current Zhenwei, busy all day long......"

"Hehe, why don't you show us the script soon?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Jing shook his head and said with a ghostly look: "Wait, I'll show Yan Zai first." If he thinks he can, I'll show you again."

"Cut"

"Yan Zai, even if you think it's bad later, it's okay. Let's take a look at ...... first."

Everyone has long been curious about Wang Jing's script that has been written for so long. Wang Jing's ability to write scripts has long been recognized by insiders. Although his script will not be very novel in the story, it has a lot of funny elements. Especially in terms of commercial value, many screenwriters have incomparable skills in this regard

"Okay, okay, I'll take a look first." Lu Yan was also made to cry and laugh by Wang Jing's appearance, and couldn't help but complain: "Several of you here have the ability to write screenplays."

"Who made you a ghost?"

"Haha......" Liu Zhenwei and they all let out a good-natured laugh, but they didn't question Lu Yan's talent at all

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

took over Wang Jing's script, in fact, Lu Yan was also quite curious. Wang Jing can also be said to be the king of commercial films, and Lu Yan is also looking forward to the script he spent so long writing.

But when he opened the script, he was stunned.

"Ahem...... "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley"?"

Wesley is Ni Kuang, his specialty is to make money by writing, he made a lot of money (some people say he is the only one who gets rich by writing), the old saying is that Ni Kuang and Huang Zhan are the two literary stars in Hong Kong, and Ni Kuang and his sister Yishu are both popular representatives of Hong Kong. He writes a lot of things, martial arts, science fiction), prose essays, scripts, etc. Of course, his best thing is science fiction. Wesley's science fiction writing is average, but he has a super ability to conceive stories and fantasies, and his legendary stories and whimsical science fiction ideas attract everyone.

While Jin Yong's novels by Liang Yusheng were popular on the mainland, Wesley's novels were deliberately not introduced in a big way (perhaps due to his political views). And when Jin Yong's ancient dragon Liang Yusheng's novel was put on the screen, Wesley's novel did not have this good luck. Why touch it? In fact, characters like Wesley, Yuan Zhenxia, Luo Kai, and Gundam are already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Sci-fi themes are bad? No, many sci-fi films in Haolaiwu are very influential

The reason is inexplicable, maybe Hong Kong people don't love or are not good at making science fiction movies (in fact, there are still some), maybe there is no masterpiece to become famous (Hong Kong movies are famous for following the trend), maybe the cost is too high or geographical restrictions, who knows?

Although in Lu Yan's memory, there are indeed a few movies about Wesley in Hong Kong. But he never expected that Wang Jing had been in retreat and writing scripts for so long. The script that came out would actually be "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley"

Suddenly, Lu Yan was happy.

Seeing Lu Yan's smile, Cheng Xiaodong and the others immediately wondered: "Yan Zai, what kind of script is it?" Look at your ...... expression."

Lu Yan looked at Wang Jing curiously, and then said: "Brother Wang, show them the script, but I'm very strange, why did you suddenly think of writing a novel adapted from Ni Kuang?" I've loved reading all the Wesleyan novels."

Everyone who received the script was stunned and said, "It's an adaptation of the novel again."

"Yes, I originally wanted to write "God of Gamblers 2", but with your jewel in front. In addition, you wrote "The Saint of Gambling" for filming, so I feel that I should change the theme. Later, I remembered that your "Rouge Buckle" is not an adaptation of a novel, but I am not as literary as you, but I think that "Wesley" is a science fiction movie that is relatively novel. So I wanted to give it a try, what do you think? ”

"En......" Lu Yan groaned, and then said directly: "First of all, science fiction films rely on reasoning, suspense, and large-scale unknown scientific scenes to win, but your script seems to be inclined to a hodgepodge of treasure hunting mode. Secondly, your script is a story pieced together based on the ideas of Wesley's novel, not Wesley's original book, which is suspected of grandstanding. Of course, putting aside the above reasons, making it into a movie is also a good commercial film. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yan changed his words and said, "However, since we have adapted Mr. Ni Kuang's novel. Then we might as well invite him to join the screenwriter, and it will be better to control the plot!!"

Listening to Lu Yan's opinions, Wang Jing nodded and said, "It's indeed like you said, but Ni Kuang ......"

Ni Kuang may not be familiar to Wang Jing. But if it is for his father Wang Tianlin, it is an old friend. Even when filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ni Kuang was also one of the behind-the-scenes figures.

"Brother Wang, Uncle Wang should have some friendship with Ni Kuang, you have adapted his novels, are you afraid of troublesome him" Lu Yan reminded Wang Jing, and then said: "When shooting science fiction films, the requirements for stunts are also relatively high. At that time, it is imminent for our company to have a stunt department. Last time, I couldn't ask the American stuntmen to help, this time we must win them over, and we can also 'steal the teacher'?"
