Chapter 164: The King of Commercial Films

Ye Jintian's words suddenly made Cheng Xiaodong and the others look at Lu Yan with gloomy eyes. Although it is said that it is a good thing to win the best director, there is no need to deliberately make literary films, right? Not to mention that there is really no market for literary films, not to mention that Lu Yan's decision seems to be a bit hasty.

However, everyone knows that Yan Zai likes to play challenges, but more often than not, confidence is confidence. However, unlike other novel themes, the narrative techniques of literary films belong to two different concepts from other popular films.

"Actually, what the Academy Awards are is not so important, at least for me now, the main thing is to make some different films and try it. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the reputation of this 'ghost director' on my head, right? Lu Yan just smiled indifferently, he has always had his own plan to do things.

"You like to play novelty every time, I don't have anything to say, I'll leave "God of Gamblers" to us, but where is Wang Fatzi?" Cheng Xiaodong didn't understand Lu Yan, so they were very supportive of many things.

Although we have not been working together for a long time, we have already honed a very good tacit understanding. The feelings between each other are also getting deeper and deeper. Everyone is struggling for the same dream and for Dongcheng Image. From the current point of view, the form of Dongcheng image is indeed a great thing.

"Don't worry, I've already asked Wang Jing for afternoon tea, he must know something." As he spoke, Lu Yan suddenly said, "By the way, it is estimated that Fa Ge will come over later." You memorize the script to him, and the other actors also get in touch. As for the role of Dragon Five, you don't have to deliberately fix me anymore. I'll make a cameo appearance in this role, haha"

"Hehe......" I have to say that everyone is surprised that Lu Yan actually said that he wanted to make a cameo. You must know that in order to let Lu Yan star, it took a lot of their efforts. This time, Yan Zai took the initiative to ask for it.

In fact, everyone present thought that Lu Yan's appearance was very suitable for filming. However, his ambition is only to direct, and he doesn't seem to have any special ideas about acting. Up to now, everyone thinks that it seems that Yan Zai's addiction to drama should have been aroused a little.

In fact, Lu Yan didn't have any special ideas, but the previous Long Wu made a cameo appearance in person to Huaqiang. Now that it is his turn to film "God of Gamblers", he is very interested in such a bright role as Long Wu.

And of course, everyone has no objection to Lu Yan playing this role. Everyone has seen this little boss's skills a few times. Resolute shot, that is definitely an expert. There must be no problem in playing a bodyguard like Long Wu. It's just that Cheng Xiaodong and them hope that Lu Yan will be able to direct and act by himself like Jackie Chan and them.

This can be regarded as a kind of curiosity and anticipation

Now that the movie has been decided, Dongcheng Imaging is naturally busy again. Now there is not much time left before the summer file, and "God of Gamblers" must be filmed within two or three months according to Lu Yan's requirements. Obviously, Lu Yan intends to prepare this movie as the main film of Dongcheng Films.

With the end of the award ceremony of the Academy Awards yesterday, the entertainment page of the second day was naturally all about the grand occasion of the 5th Academy Awards. It's just that no matter what the winner is, the big star in attendance. The limelight was naturally all covered up by Lu Yan.

Whether it is attending the Academy Awards with Wang Zuxian, or confessing on stage when he won the best movie. There are reports about Lu Yan, and once again it is all over the place. Especially some of Lu Yan's scandals in the past were revealed again. It's just that the combination of him and Wang Zuxian is too eye-catching, and there are indeed many people who strongly support this pair of 'golden boys and girls'.

Both are from Taiwan, and they are a good match. is of the same age, and he is a talented man and a woman. Some articles are even written directly as a match made in heaven

However, in this impetuous entertainment industry, there are not many couples who are favored by the public. Even if it is Chow Yun-fat, they are not the same as a flash marriage followed by a divorce.

Whether it was a few months of marriage with Yu Anan or a love affair with Chen Yulian, it all ended without a problem in the end.

Lu Yan naturally ignored these various reports. Feelings are often unreasonable and unclear. Now he and Wang Zuxian have only started to fall in love. Both of them fell in love sweetly, so naturally they wouldn't care about such reports

"Brother Wang, you must know what I asked you for. Don't rush to reply, take a look at this script first. Help me analyze it......" Lu Yan sat opposite Wang Jing in the café, smiled and pushed the script of "God of Gamblers" with him.

For the script of "God of Gamblers" to attract Wang Jing, Lu Yan has great confidence.

Wang Jing smiled bitterly, and then read the script first. I have to say that he is quite curious and admired for Lu Yan. This peer, who is a few years younger than himself, is often able to create miracles. If the box office of the films he has shot is already good, then Lu Yan is definitely a representative figure among new directors.

"God of Gamblers?" I have to say that the name of this script is very seductive. Wang Jing herself had made a movie about gambling elements, and she was immediately interested.

After reading it in one breath, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Good book, is it your handwriting again?" ”

Wang Jing's reaction and demeanor, Lu Yan naturally took a full view and said: "It's almost the actors who have been decided, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, them." Fortunately, all the students of your old club have invested 10 million, but I hope to be able to get out in more than 2 months. I'm going to use this movie as the main movie of this year's summer file, how about it, are you interested? ”

"What...... What the? Wang Jing nodded again and again after listening to Lu Yan's narration at first, but after recalling the latter sentence, he was dumbfounded. You mean, this script is for me to shoot? ”

"yes, otherwise what do you think I'm coming to you with a script...... The actors have been selected for you, are you interested? Although I am a nominal producer, I will definitely give you the greatest freedom. In terms of details, it is completely possible to study the cooperation between our brothers together, and it will be embarrassing if we don't make any movement" Lu Yan immediately sketched a huge blueprint, and directly began to call Wang Jing a brother. In fact, he seduces Wang Jing every moment.

Next, it was Wang Jing's turn to be extremely entangled. The situation of the Shaw Brothers is now very clear, that is, it is ready to stop production. Such a situation is definitely a major blow to Wang Jing who is still in Shaw Brothers.

But in fact, everyone has nothing to worry about, after all, they have their own ways in the circle for so long. Coupled with the fact that Hong Kong's film market is so good now, they don't have to worry about running out of work at all. It's just that there is a job to open and there is a job, and choosing a good company is absolutely crucial.

First of all, this company must have funds, otherwise if it needs to invest more, the shooting plan will have to be stranded. The second is that you need a great deal of freedom, don't control yourself according to the producer at every turn, resulting in disagreements, and the things that are filmed will definitely not be satisfied.

Looking at Wang Jing's thoughtful appearance, Lu Yan suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much about Shaw Brothers is an old owner, but now the company's senior management is preparing to close." You can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, at least you have made a lot of money for the company. Secondly, Dongcheng Imaging is not a big company. But if you have enough room and money to play, there is absolutely no problem. Besides, I'm an executive producer, are you still worried that I'm going to get in the way of you? ”

"What's more, I have even set everything for you as an actor, and I have already asked Brother Xiaodong and them to start preparing for this movie. How about it, in a word, we are two big men, there is no need to twist and pinch" Lu Yan was very direct, and Wang Jing had already moved.

At least the current Dongcheng Image, it is definitely a potential stock. Lu Yan sits in the formation, and his appeal will not be bad. And now it's joining, but it's a relief in the snow. If you wait until later, people may not be happy with the icing on the cake.

From Lu Yan coming to find himself in person, and even bringing the script, it is enough to see the sincerity of the other party. In fact, when Cheng Xiaodong talked to him, Wang Jing had almost made a decision. Now that Lu Yan personally made an appointment to have afternoon tea together, he immediately made up his mind. Since everyone has already given face like this, it will be a little too much to say if they refuse again.

The script of "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing did not hand it back.

"Yan Zai, I have to say that your name as a 'big fool director' is indeed a bit true, I haven't even thought about it yet, you just put the script, actors and even investment funds in place...... Are you sure that I will come to Dongcheng to reflect it a long time ago" Since he had agreed, Wang Jing suddenly became relaxed.

Although Wang Jing has not yet said it explicitly, accepting the script of "God of Gamblers" has explained everything. He laughed and said, "Brother Wang, look at what you said." I just think that the current situation of Shaw Brothers is not optimistic, and as a friend, I certainly hope that you can have a good platform. What's more, I've admired your directing skills for a long time. Isn't this just the right time to steal the teacher?"

"If you don't come here, you still need to steal teachers" said, Wang Jing showed a very affectionate look and said: "It seems that I'm going to change jobs too, it's really a bit of nostalgia, by the way, are you going to prepare such a movie this summer?" ”

"How can it be just that the main movie is handed over to you to make, and I am going to make a literary film. You also know that a director of my age naturally has a lot of literary plots and ambitions. Hey, an old guy like you won't understand."

"My mother doesn't understand, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's really not suitable to reveal, what kind of script?" Wang Jing suddenly stared at Lu Yan faintly, in fact, he was really curious about what type of film Lu Yan's next literary film belonged to.
