Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "Boss Lei, we had a very happy cooperation in "Home Alone" last year, if Boss Lei doesn't give up, we will naturally continue to cooperate this year." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After Lei Juekun heard Chen Shaoyi's agreement, he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is right, our cooperation is a pleasure, it is rare for Mr. Chen to continue to go out of the mountain, there is no reason not to continue to cooperate, I don't know what film Mr. Chen made this time?" I'd better make arrangements first. ”

Chen Shaoyi shook his head and said, "It's not me who is the director this time?" ”

"Not Mr. Chen himself?" Lei Juekun exclaimed.

Lei Juekun looked at Phoenix Pictures' movements, and thought that Chen Shaoyi was shooting it himself, but it was not Chen Shaoyi as the director, so Lei Juekun was a little hesitant.

Lei Juekun values Chen Shaoyi's box office appeal, which can help the Golden Princess Cinema to enhance its influence, if it weren't for the film shot by Chen Shaoyi as the director, the box office would not be so good-looking, is it still necessary for him Lei Juekun to cooperate with Chen Shaoyi? It's not that New Arts City doesn't have directors to make movies.

Chen Shaoyi glanced at Lei Juekun, and when he saw Lei Juekun's hesitation, he guessed Lei Juekun's thoughts, thought about it, and said: "The candidate for the director this time is Xu Ke, which is a subsidiary of Phoenix Pictures, and Boss Lei should have heard of it." ”

"Xu Ke?" Lei Juekun, who is deep in the entertainment industry, is naturally no stranger to Xu Ke, although the current achievements are still average, but the name of the new wave director is still not small, and the quality of several films shot is still very good, which can be regarded as a relatively capable member of the new director.

"Yes, it's Xu Ke, Xu Ke's ability is not small, not to mention the films shot before, just this time with our Phoenix TV director Xiao Sheng's "Dragon Babu", what is the quality, Boss Lei should be very clear."

"Dragon Babu" is currently quite popular, no matter how many moves wireless makes, it always suppresses "Rogue Emperor", although there are not many wins, but its excitement has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Seeing Lei Juekun nodding, Chen Shaoyi smiled: "This time, I am ready to invest fifteen million for Xu Ke to make a big production." ”

"Fifteen million? Mr. Chen is really bold. Lei Juekun exclaimed, this was the second time he was surprised today.

If the investment of 15 million is Chen Shaoyi as a director to shoot a film, Lei Juekun will not be so surprised, and the investment in "Home Alone" is also so much, but this fund is only given to one of its directors, which makes Lei Juekun have to admire. Although Xu Ke's fame is okay, it is a bit too much to shoot a big production of tens of millions. Changing to Chen Shaoyi, Lei Juekun didn't think that he might make a film for Xu Ke for 15 million, let alone Xu Ke, even if it was Mecca and others, Lei Juekun had to think about it, 15 million is also a lot of money for Lei Juekun, who has deep pockets.

After a pause, Lei Juekun asked again: "Mr. Chen, do you still want to go to the United States to shoot this time?" ”

Chen Shaoyi shook his head again and said: "No, this time I will shoot in Hong Kong, and I will not invite Hollywood stars." ”

A Hong Kong film that did not invite Hollywood stars to shoot actually needed to invest 15 million, how to spend this money, Lei Juekun was at a loss for a while.

You must know that the "Modern Bodyguard" filmed by the Hui brothers last year has been a rare big production in Hong Kong films in recent years, and the Xu brothers are all on the same page, all of them are also paid a lot of money, and the scene is also grand, and the scene at Sha Tin Racecourse is impressive. That's it, the cost of "Modern Bodyguard" is only five million.

Chen Shaoyi saw Lei Juekun's doubts and began to explain Lei Juekun carefully.

Chen Shaoyi's film for Xu Ke to shoot this time is "Best Partner", "Best Partner" is not just a movie, but a series of movies like "Home Alone", this time it is the first "Bald Detective".

"Best Partner" was originally a work of New Arts City, and the box office record of "Modern Bodyguard" is to make "Best Partner" an obsolete, and its box office is quite hot, it is the highest number of Hong Kong films in Hong Kong, and it is also the highest-grossing series of films in the 80s, breaking new box office records in Hong Kong. Xinyicheng also relied on "Best Partner" to dominate Xiangjiang, and in the following years, it has dominated the top position at the box office, even in the name of Chen Long, the momentum of Golden Harvest cannot shake "Best Partner", and every time it competes with "Best Partner", it loses.

Such a good series of movies, how could Chen Shaoyi let it go, the key is that this "Best Partner" is still the pinnacle work of Chen Shaoyi's friend Xu Guanjie.

In the previous life, in order to shake Golden Harvest's hegemony in the Hong Kong film industry, Xinyicheng invited Xu Guanjie to participate in the performance with a sky-high salary of 2 million, and dug Xu Guanjie to Xinyicheng. In this life, it is impossible for Chen Shaoyi to let Xu Guanjie join Xinyicheng again, so he let "Best Partner" appear in advance.

And Chen Shaoyi once promised Xu Guan to play the protagonist of an excellent film, and there is no film more suitable than "Best Partner".

"Mr. Chen, you said that this "Best Partner" is a parody of 007? I want to shoot a big scene like 007. Lei Juekun gasped and asked.

"That's right, at present, the 007 series is popular all over the world, I think such a good theme, how can we miss it in Hong Kong films." Chen Shaoyi said calmly.

Lei Juekun closed his eyes and thought for a while, Chen Shaoyi's thoughts shocked him, no wonder he had to invest so much money.

"Mr. Chen is really not a mortal, good idea, with the popularity of 007, this film should be promising, when is Mr. Chen going to start shooting?"

Chen Shaoyi muttered: "Xu Ke's preliminary preparations have been made, and this "Best Partner" can be filmed at any time, but the actors are currently experiencing some troubles. ”

Lei Jiaokun was puzzled for a moment, and joked: "Trouble? With Mr. Chen's current fame, which actor can still make Mr. Chen feel troublesome. ”

Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Boss Lei, the police detective, one of the protagonists of "Best Partner", is an honest and self-righteous bald detective in my setting, and to be able to play this role, at present, only the director of Mecca in Hong Kong is more suitable, I don't know if Director Mai has a schedule during this time." ”

"Mecca?" Lei Juekun didn't expect that the person invited by Chen Shaoyi would be Mecca, and he was surprised.

Mecca and Huang Baiming only established the New Art City last year, and the films they shoot are naturally based on their own companies. Chen Shaoyi wants to invite Mecca, which is indeed a bit difficult, will Mecca come in his current capacity? Is it possible for Mecca to appear in other companies' films? (To be continued.) )
