Chapter 10 Relations between Guangzhou
Why did Cheng Long give Lin Qingxia face like this, Xiao Ran faintly knew a little bit of uncertain inside information. It is said that Lin Qingxia was Cheng Long's dream lover back then, and the reason why Lin Qingxia was invited to star in the filming of "Police Story", and even gave completely extraordinary scenes and care was due to this reason.
Of course, Xiao Ran wasn't sure if this was true. Still, he knew it was definitely a place to take advantage of. Therefore, he has to know the peerless beauty Lin Qingxia first, and to know this actress who is fascinated by all beings, he can only get to know Xu Ke.
Xu Ke was working on the late stage of "The Emperor of Part-time Work", which had just been completed, and Xiao Ran didn't dare to disturb him. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, Xu Ke and the other staff and Xu Guanjie came out for lunch.
Seeing a few people talking and laughing, Xiao Ran hurriedly got up from the chair and greeted him, and before he could speak, Xu Ke greeted him with a happy face. Xiao Ran was still afraid that Xu Ke would forget about him, but now seeing his enthusiasm, he was half relieved.
"This one, you don't need me to introduce you!" Xu Ke pointed at Xu Guanjie and joked, and then introduced: "This is the newly emerging screenwriter Xiao Ran, very talented. Applejack, it would be a shame if you didn't get to know her! ”
"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" The Hong Kong singer who let Cantonese songs enter the house actually stretched out his hand to Xiao Ran very kindly, and Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire the singer even though he was calm. He watched Xu Guanjie's concert 85 years ago, and the popularity was absolutely unimaginable, and you can imagine how successful Xu Guanjie was.
"What's the matter, Ah Ran, do you have any good books for me this time?" Xu Ke said half-jokingly and half-seriously, he read the script of the hero's true colors several times, and the more he read it, the more he felt that it was well written, if he didn't have time, he was afraid that he would plan to shoot it immediately. He explained to Xu Guanjie, who was a little dazed on the side: "Last time, Ah Ran gave me a notebook, and I am sure that the book will be popular when it is photographed!" ”
Xiao Ran thought that Xu Ke was still quite interesting when he wasn't working, and this might be the appropriate relaxation at work. He also replied half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There is indeed a good book, but it has not been written yet." I'm looking for you this time to ask you to do me a favor! ”
At this time, the three of them had already come to the restaurant and sat down, and while Xu Guanjie was ordering, Xu Ke asked curiously like a child: "What do you want me to help with?" ”
"I ......" Xiao Ran suddenly spit out the word I and couldn't say it anymore, Cheng Long's crush on Lin Qingxia was really not known, if he mentioned that he wanted to see Lin Qingxia, Xu Ke would definitely ask something that should not be said. Under the rapid brain turn, he immediately changed his tone: "I have a script and want to give it to Cheng Long, but no one introduces it to me." Therefore, I think according to Director Xu's identity, he can help me. ”
"Script?" Xu Kezhen is a movie maniac, and when he heard the word script, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked repeatedly: "Did you bring it?" Show me! ”
This is not difficult, Xiao Ran has already brought all three scripts with him, but he is afraid of encountering such a thing. He opened the briefcase and handed the script to Xu Ke, but Xu Guanjie saw that there were two large stacks of neat papers inside, and asked curiously: "Those are also scripts?" Can you show me? ”
"That's right, those are the other two scripts I wrote!" Xiao Ran suddenly felt like a salesman who had just met two curious potential customers, and he smiled and handed the script of the Happy Ghost to Xu Guanjie.
Strictly speaking, the script of "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts" is obviously far from "The True Color of Heroes", but one of the sincere feelings is just a little interesting. Therefore, Xu Guanjie browsed it while eating, and then returned it to Xiao Ran, and said reluctantly: "It's very well written!" Very well written! ”
Xiao Ran is not stupid, seeing Xu Guanjie's expression, he naturally knows what he thinks of himself. Thinking of this, his heart moved, Xu Guanjie is the most popular singer and movie star in this era, if he has his support, some things will be much easier.
So, he smiled slightly, glanced at Xu Ke, who was indulging in the script, and then said to Xu Guanjie: "Mr. Xu, is there a fourth episode of your best partner series?" I'm a fan of yours, and I've been looking forward to the fourth and fifth installments! ”
Xu Guanjie shook his head, if there is, how can it be that he is grabbing the summer vacation schedule for "The Working Emperor" now. Xiao Ran was originally tempting, he was testing whether the script of the fourth part came out, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
Getting this answer, Xiao Ran happily said to him: "For the fourth episode, I have a good idea, I think, maybe Mr. Xu will be interested!" ”
Finally, Xu Ke took a long breath, and he didn't even care about eating, so he stared at Xiao Ran seriously: "Ah Ran, you still give me this book!" ”
Surprised, what else can there be but surprised? Of course, Xiao Ran is reluctant to let the script he used to have a relationship with Cheng Longpan taken by Tsui Hark, and most importantly, he is trying to keep himself from affecting the film industry. Otherwise, he will lose his absolute superiority.
"Director Xu, to be honest, this book is definitely not suitable for your style!" Xiao Ran persuaded bitterly, trying to make Xu Ke dispel his mind, he glanced at Xu Guanjie who swallowed the words back into his stomach and said: "I tailor-made this book for Cheng Long, this role of a desperate policeman, no one in Hong Kong can play it so appropriately!" ”
Is it tailor-made for Cheng Long, Xu Keruo doesn't even have this vision, how can he become one of the most famous directors in Hong Kong. I saw a wisp of cunning on his face, stretched out his finger and dotted Xiao Ran, with a hint of blame: "You said last time, I contacted me as soon as I had a book, and now it's ......."
Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, and based on his rich experience of wandering around in his dream, he immediately saw through Xu Ke's meaning. He really didn't expect Xu Ke to play some tricks, force himself to hold back that hilarious feeling, and then said seriously: "Director Xu, don't worry, I still have a good idea!" ”
Speaking of which, he told Xu Ke the general story of "Dao Ma Dan". The film in the dream is also 86 years old, and it is also written by Xu Ke, so he naturally doesn't worry about kicking it out now.
So far, all the scripts that Xiao Ran chose to "create" are blockbuster films, except for "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts", the box office of several other films is more than 20 million. Don't underestimate the box office of 20 million, the local box office of Hong Kong films in the 21st century can reach 20 million.
Xiao Ran vaguely remembered that he had watched a Hong Kong movie fan's statistics on the real box office. This so-called real box office record is based on the price and the number of viewers, and it is indeed a genuine record.
Calculated in this way, the real box office record of Hong Kong films should be the best partner. According to the ticket price of 60 yuan in the 21st century, it means that if the box office of the first episode of the best partner is placed in the 21st century, it will be enough to have two or three billion. This is definitely a terrifying number, which shows how many viewers have watched movies this year.
The box office has become the benchmark for Xiao Ran's choice of scripts, which is a natural thing. As a screenwriter, if you want to successfully have status and popularity in the industry, it is not enough to just write award-winning works, but more importantly, the box office!
At the moment when Xiao Ran was thinking wildly, Xu Ke was immersed in thinking, and he was deducing the script that Xiao Ran said in his mind. After a while, he jumped up excitedly and shouted: "I want this book, when can you give it to me?" ”
"It's undecided for the time being, I think it will be okay in three months!" Xiao Ran didn't want to change the future in his dreams before he had the strength, otherwise everything would be out of control. He turned his head to Xu Guanjie and smiled: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to delay you." I have an idea for the fourth part, which may be good! ”
The fourth part of the best partner is called Qianli to save the poor woman, Xiao Ran told Xu Guanjie the story of this film, and Xu Ke on the side was also surprised the more he listened. After listening to it, Xu Guanjie thought about it and said to Xiao Ran: "This story is good, I think there may be something wrong, Director Xu, what do you think?" ”
Xu Ke looked at Xiao Ran, an extremely strange look flashed in his eyes, and nodded solemnly: "Interesting, I'll tell Mecca about this when I have time, I think he will be interested!" ”
Xiao Ran completely ignored the surprise of the two, and then took out the script of the happy ghost from the briefcase and gave it to Xu Ke, and said respectfully: "Director Xu, this book was written by me for the Happy Ghost series, please help me transfer it to Mr. Huang Baiming!" ”
The Happy Ghost series was planned by Huang Baiming himself from beginning to end, and Xu Ke never interfered at all, so naturally he didn't show it to him, but asked him to hand it over. Sure enough, Xu Ke just glanced at the general plot casually and was not interested.
However, his interest in Xiao Ran was obviously very great, and he couldn't help but nod as he stared at Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, are these books written by you these days?" I'll make my previous proposal again, why don't you come to the film studio and do it, I won't treat you badly! ”
Xiao Ran smiled, the Hong Kong film industry ignored the important surname of the script, which is known to the whole world, and it was barely better until the release of "Infernal Affairs". However, ignoring is ignoring, a good script is always appreciated, and Xu Ke is obviously this kind of person with discernment.
He smiled and shook his head, if he only wanted to be an actor, screenwriter, or even director, then joining the famous film studio would definitely be a wise decision. But now his ambition is not here, but the entire Hong Kong movie.
In the 80s, the new art city, Golden Harvest and Debao dominated the world, and Shaw Brothers basically withdrew from this fierce dispute and focused on the business of post-processing dubbing. With this reminder, Xiao Ran remembered that Du Qifeng and Zhou Runfa are both wireless people, and since Xinyicheng can get these two people in the hands of wireless, it means that the relationship between Xinyicheng and wireless is very good. However, this is mainly because Shaw Brothers focused on TVB's television industry and gradually liberalized the film industry.
However, the Shaw Brothers and Jiahe are definitely bitter hatred, and Zou Wenhuai, who was definitely above 10,000 people under one person in the Shaw Brothers, betrayed and took away a large number of important ministers and generals such as He Guanchang. As a result, the Shaw Brothers naturally hated the traitor to the bone, and the hatred returned to hatred, and Golden Harvest's relaxed environment and talent strategy attracted a large number of strongmen, and gradually revealed everyone's demeanor.
Xu Ke has a very good relationship with Golden Harvest, and in 82, Golden Harvest had to pay and help him produce "New Shushan Swordsman", which is comparable to "Star Wars". With this relationship, it is not difficult for Xiao Ran to have a good relationship with Jiahe.
And all he needs to do now is meet Cheng Long, an action actor who can never be replicated, and who is also a superstar......
