136 Mecca's call for help
readx;
Chen Shaoyi saw that Lei Juekun wanted to speak and stopped, and he understood what the other party was hesitating, not to mention Lei Juekun, even Li Xiaolong, the pride of the emperor superstar Chinese, couldn't take advantage of dealing with European and American filmmakers. www.biquge.info But as long as European and American filmmakers see benefits, they will flock to it like ants seeing honey, and Chen Shaoyi is convinced of this.
Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "Boss Lei doesn't have to worry, I won't make it difficult for Boss Lei, as long as Boss Lei helps me copy the film to theaters in Europe and the United States, I believe they should make the right choice." ”
"Oh, Mr. Chen is so confident that European and American filmmakers will watch this film?" Lei Juekun was puzzled by Chen Shaoyi's confident affirmation.
"Boss Lei is not a director, so he won't understand that the director must be confident in his film, otherwise he won't have to shoot it at all. Besides, if Boss Lei doesn't have confidence in me, how can he give me such big conditions. ”
Lei Juekun was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Chen Shaoyi said was really reasonable, didn't he also trust him when he saw the box office of Chen Shaoyi's two films soaring, otherwise how could he give Chen Shaoyi such good conditions, isn't it just that I hope that Chen Shaoyi's film can break the box office record after the Golden Princess is released. Since the film may break the box office record, then this film is not bad, at least not worse than "Modern Bodyguard" and "Nightclub", and it is not impossible for excellent films to be favored by European and American filmmakers. Since Chen Shaoyi is confident, why should he worry too much, success is the best, if he doesn't succeed, he has nothing to lose.
"Haha, good, Mr. Chen has such confidence is very good, no matter what, I will do my best to help Mr. Chen, and if it can really be released simultaneously with Europe and the United States, it will also stimulate the box office of the film in Hong Kong, why not."
"Thank you, Boss Lei."
Lei Juekun got up excitedly and said, "Mr. Chen, we have decided the matter. Today is the opening of the new art city, and I still have to entertain other guests, so let's continue to chat. There are a lot of shows going on today, so you have to have a good time here. ”
Lei Juekun turned his head to Mecca again and said, "Mecca, I'll go out first, and then you will entertain Mr. Chen for me." ”
"Boss Lei, don't worry, Mr. Chen will be entertained by me." Mecca answered.
"Boss Lei, you don't have to worry about me, you can get busy first if you have something."
"Okay." Lei Juekun will definitely be very busy today, it has taken a lot of time to summon Chen Shaoyi, and since he has already got the results he wants, he naturally has to entertain others.
After Lei Juekun left, Chen Shaoyi and Mecca sat down separately.
"Mr. Chen, I want to congratulate you, you are valued by Boss Lei like this, don't forget my brother and me in the future." Mecca smiled at Chen Shaoyi.
To be honest, Mecca's mood at this time was very complicated, originally these conditions given by Lei Juekun should be from Xinyicheng, but because his Xinyicheng had just been established, he was not sure to make a movie with a box office of more than 20 million, so as to help the Golden Princess Cinema expand its reputation and status.
The better the development of the Golden Princess Cinemas, the more ideal the box office of the films shot by the New Arts City will be, so even if Mecca is unwilling, there is no way, for the better development of the New Arts City in the future, Mecca still supports Lei Juekun's decision.
"Director Mak's new art city is what Boss Lei values the most, I think Director Mak will be able to develop the new art city into one of the best film and television companies in Hong Kong, and when the time comes, I will ask Director Mak to take care of his little brother more."
"Haha."
Mecca personally made a cup of tea for Chen Shaoyi, "Mr. Chen, my new art city has just been established, and I am also cheeky to ask Mr. Chen for help." ”
"Oh, Director Mai, please have something to say."
"When Hong Fatzi's Baohe was established, didn't Mr. Chen give Hong Fatzi a script for "Ghost Fighting Ghosts"? This Hong Fat Man treats this script as a treasure, and "Ghost Fights Ghosts" is definitely an excellent script, and Hong Fatty's Baohe is an instant hit, and it doesn't seem to be a problem. No, my new art city has just been established, and I always have to have a good pioneering work, and I have to help Mr. Chen with this matter? ”
"Director Mak laughed, Director Mak is one of the best screenwriters and directors in Hong Kong, how can there be no good scripts?"
"Let's be honest with Mr. Chen, Bai Ming and I did write a good script, but the three of us all thought that Wu Yusen was the most suitable for this script, and none of us were suitable for this style of film, so we always wanted Wu Yusen to come to Xinyicheng to help, but Wu Yusen didn't want to leave Golden Harvest, so this script was temporarily stranded." Mecca said helplessly.
When Mecca said this, Chen Shaoyi remembered that the pioneering work of the new art city in his previous life was "Funny Times" directed by Wu Yusen.
This matter is more interesting to say, the new art city has just been established, Golden Harvest naturally wants to suppress the new art city, Wu Yusen is the director of Golden Harvest, he is not bad in Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest is the first film and television company in the industry, Wu Yusen does not want to leave Golden Harvest, it is impossible for Wu Yusen to help New Art City direct "Funny Times" behind Golden Harvest.
Seeing that Wu Yusen really didn't want to leave Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng could only retreat to the second, and finally Wu Yusen couldn't stand the repeated requests of the three friends of Xinyicheng, and secretly used the pseudonym "Wu Shangfei" to shoot this "Funny Times".
Chen Shaoyi listened to Mecca's tone, and the two sides should not have reached an agreement yet.
If there is no Chen Shaoyi, history should still develop in the original direction, and because of Chen Shaoyi, and Chen Shaoyi also gave Hong Jinbao a script, Mecca wanted to see if he could dig up a good script from Chen Shaoyi, and now no one in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry does not know that Chen Shaoyi's script is the best, and there has not been a bad movie so far, and each one is extremely exciting.
Mecca thought in her heart that it would be best to get Chen Shaoyi's script, and if she didn't, it would not be too late to think about "Funny Times" and Wu Yusen, and Mecca also waited until Chen Shaoyi and Lei Juekun had a happy negotiation, and brought it up when Chen Shaoyi was happy, at this time, Mecca was still very sure that Chen Shaoyi would give the script.
Sure enough, after Chen Shaoyi figured out the cause and effect of the matter, he did not refuse Mecca's request, and one of the purposes of Chen Shaoyi's formation of Phoenix Film and Television was to cooperate with others and shoot the scripts he wrote.
Chen Shaoyi currently has no theater line, and he doesn't want to develop Phoenix Film and Television in a big way, so as not to be targeted by Golden Harvest and others, so that he won't be able to make a few films a year, and the rest of the scripts will naturally cooperate well with others.
So when Mecca asked for a script, Chen Shaoyi finally readily agreed.
On this trip to the New Art City, Chen Shaoyi felt that he had gained a lot, Lei Juekun gave himself good conditions, so that Jiahe and Princess Jin fought to the death, and the pioneering work of the New Art City also fell into his hands, and he met a lot of people in the circle at the ceremony.
It's no wonder that those upper-class people often hold large-scale gatherings, it turns out that such activities are really effective, Chen Shaoyi has also taken advantage of such a few opportunities, and he has accumulated a lot of contacts in the circle, which is really beneficial to future development.
