Chapter 163 "God of Gamblers" is here

"Yan Zai, how do I think you are so tired...... Didn't you sleep well yesterday? Liu Wei asked awkwardly, but the meaning in that tone was very obvious. 【No Pop-up Novel Network】(Hand-typed novel)

And Cheng Xiaodong and the others couldn't help but look at Lu Yan with a smile. In fact, how did they know about Lu Yan's suffering yesterday

After sending Wang Zuxian home, he was stunned and told ghost stories all the way. In the end, he didn't scare the other party, but made himself feel cold. The most helpless thing is that I finally went home very defeated. When I got home, I still hadn't slept well. So when I arrived at the company today, I looked unusually haggard.

Lu Yan smiled bitterly, and immediately defended: "Qiang Zai, you give me a side." I just drank too much yesterday and got home with a bit of a headache. ”

In the conference room, Lu Yan had already sent a few copies of the new script and said: "This is the first film of the year that we are about to prepare, the actor is tentatively Chow Yun-fat, and so on, let's take a look at the script first."

In fact, the reason why the script of "God of Gamblers" was finalized, Lu Yan hoped to expand the film path of Hong Kong films. I have to say that most directors are still very tight in their thinking, plus some companies' interest goals. leads to the emergence of a box office blockbuster movie, which must be followed by many followers.

After "The True Color of Heroes" became popular, followers flocked to it, setting off a huge wave of "hero films", most of them like "Five Tigers Break Apart" committed suicide after a series of dazzling guns, more than cool, insufficient connotation, superficial, ruined the reputation of "hero films". And costume ghost films such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" have also been produced by many film companies.

The most successful one is the newly established Yongsheng company.

The reason is still the success of "The True Color of Heroes", which provoked the Xiang brothers to find the Mai brothers to follow the trend and start filming gangster hero films, and played Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Wan Ziliang, Li Xiuxian, Yang Qun, Ke Junxiong, Carina Lau, and Wang Xiaofeng's star cards of "Six Kings and Two Queens". After confirming the lineup of the performance, Mai Dangxiong immediately recalled the playwright Wen Jun, who had already flown solo, to meet Xiang Huasheng. The poor editor was forced by Brother Xiang to write the script within 4 days, so Yongsheng and Mai Dangxiong quickly rushed out of the movie "Heroes" and released it, with a box office of nearly 19 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a good result. Originally, this matter had come to an end, but Yongsheng felt that there were still a lot of unused materials for "Heroes and Heroes", which was enough to cut out another one. In order to ensure that they make another profit, Yongsheng and Mak Donald Hung decided to add an important character as a new selling point in the prequel "Jianghu Love", and as a result, they hired the popular singer Alan Tam to play the role of "McHero", and it took only 4 days to make up the scene. At the end of May, less than 3 months after the painting of "Heroes and Heroes", the prequel "Jianghu Love" was released, and the box office reached 21 million. In fact, this method is just a recycling of waste materials, but it can make the film company make another profit, which can be called an excellent embodiment of the flexibility of Hong Kong film production.

However, the case of "Jianghu Love" will inevitably be criticized as "opportunistic", and it is okay to do it occasionally, but if it is intensified, it will only ruin Hong Kong films.

It is precisely because of such examples that Lu Yan really hopes to drive the re-innovation of Hong Kong films. Since God has given you such a chance, you might as well fight hard. Once the production level of Dongcheng Imaging and the novelty of the story of the film have been improved, then those film companies that are fighting with themselves will naturally have to try their best to make good movies.

"Gangster hero films?"

"Funny comedy?"

"And a little bit of romantic love?"

Cheng Xiaodong and the three of them gave the most intuitive feelings, Lu Yan nodded and said: "This movie is based on the theme of gangsters, funny and love, but everyone can call him a gambling movie."

"I remember that the first movie made by Wang Fatzi had gambling elements, as well as a bit of kung fu and scams, no wonder Yan Zai said that this movie was going to be made for him, I think it's OK, how much does it take to invest?" As soon as the word 'gambling film' came out, Cheng Xiaodong immediately knew that Lu Yan was ready to create a new creation. And he has a good relationship with Wang Jing, so he naturally knows that this friend is good at making such movies.

Liu Weiqiang and the others were also smiling, and Lu Yan always had these strange ideas in his head. In fact, there are movies about gambling on this element. But it will never be filmed with the theme of 'gambling', after all, no one knows what kind of reaction such a movie will have.

But since it is a script taken out by Lu Yan, everyone is very confident. Whether it is "The True Color of Heroes" or "A Chinese Ghost Story", they have achieved unique effects. Then, it is not difficult for everyone to have a great sense of expectation for this movie called "God of Gamblers".

"Well, I want Wang Jing to make this movie. And I probably have a list of actors, so let's discuss it later. Qiang Zai, you hurry up and go to TVB in the past two days. Let's just say that our company's new movie hopes to invite Andy Lau to star, of course, it's just a supporting actor, and they should agree. Lu Yan smiled slightly, the supporting actor is a supporting actor, but the supporting actor is a male supporting role, and there are not many scenes.

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Cheng Xiaodong and the others immediately smiled bitterly. This boss always likes to enable these stars whose star path is hindered. Could it be that this is one of his hobbies?

Whether it was the original box office poison, the outdated red star or the newcomer in the film industry...... Lu Yan likes to use such artists, and without exception, they eventually became popular.

Chow Yun-fat is already one of the box office guarantees, and the fairy hair has been known to everyone. And Dillon naturally began to receive a lot of film appointments, starting the second spring of his career. As for Wang Zuxian, a little Qian is enough to make her unforgettable for the audience in this life. And Leslie Cheung, although the first part made Chow Yun-fat and them, the second part made Nie Xiaoqian. But he also managed to enter the eyes of the audience and was recognized by professionals.

Now, Lu Yan is going to use Andy Lau, who has been blocked by TVB, again. The director's mind is really hard to guess.

"Yan Zai, after all, Andy Lau is now blocked by TVB. If it's another director who invites him to play a role, it's okay, the key is for you...... They banned Andy Lau, naturally they didn't want him to see the light. But once you participate in your movie, I'm afraid you may not agree? Liu Weiqiang also felt that it was very tricky, after all, Lu Yan was different from other directors. Anyone who participates in the filming of his films, then the exposure rate will naturally rise in a straight line.

And Andy Lau challenged Tvb's contract system, and the other party would never give Andy Lau any more opportunities.

Of course, Lu Yan is clear about this. That's why he told Liu Weiqiang that he hoped he would convey to TVB that Andy Lau was just playing a supporting role.

"Well, in short, you can say as much as Andy Lau's role. Try to make TVB feel that this movie is actually nothing wrong with Andy Lau...... And although they banned Andy Lau, since we asked for someone, I think they will sell this face. Lu Yan knew a little about Andy Lau's contract with TVB, but in fact, he later signed a contract not to appear on TV for other TV stations. And the reason why there has been no exposure is because since it has been banned by TVB, most film companies are no longer optimistic about it......

"You want Andy Lau to play Chen Daozai, right?"

"Brother Xiaodong's intuition is not bad, I originally wanted him to play, plus Brother Fa strongly recommended it yesterday, this face must be sold" Lu Yanhan nodded with a smile, and then said: "As for the role of Gao Yi, Li Zixiong will definitely be able to take it." The original little brother and Ah Cheng, haha...... Ah Zhen asked Xiaoxian to act, by the way, Brother Xiaodong helped me inquire which company Zhang Min is in now? ”

For Zhang Min, Lu Yan naturally has a deep memory. In the 90s, I am afraid that no actress could surpass her filming record. Lu Yan only knew that the other party was discovered by Yongsheng Film Company, but he really couldn't remember when the other party debuted. In addition, Yongsheng Film Company has only been established for a long time, and Zhang Min may not have been discovered yet.

Since you know the other party, you must definitely strike first

When he heard this name at first glance, Cheng Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Could it be that what kind of newcomer is it?" I haven't heard of it, so let's go and inquire about it in the past two days."

"En" Lu Yan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe there is still some training class, it's not TVB, it should be ATV...... I occasionally saw an advertisement a few days ago, and this girl looks pretty good. ”

In fact, Lu Yan doesn't need to explain so much at all, digging new people in Cheng Xiaodong seems to be one of Lu Yan's biggest hobbies.

But now that "God of Gamblers" has come out, and it was filmed for Wang Jing. Is Lu Yan going to stop being a director and specialize in producers?

"Yan Zai, you said that "God of Gamblers" let Wang Jing shoot. What about you? Are you ready to be a big boss with peace of mind? In this way, not only will we not let you go, but even those fans will not let you go" Du Kefeng has long admired Lu Yan's directing talent. If Yan Zai stopped making movies, it would be a big loss.

"How can it be that our 'Dongcheng Glory Room' will put so many little golden figures, how can it be enough" Lu Yan smiled jokingly, and then said with a straight face: "It may be busy recently, everyone has to work harder." As for the preparation of "God of Gamblers", it is basically up to you. I need to talk to that talented girl in Hong Kong, and suddenly I am interested in making a literary film."

"Poof......

"Ahem"

"Yan Zai, what are you going to shoot again? Making literary films? ”

After everyone recalled Lu Yan's words, they all looked at each other with strange eyes. In the end, it was Tim Yip who muttered: "Boss, you don't want to make a literary film because you missed out on the best director, right?" ”
