Chapter 80: Zeng Zhiwei, who is not simple

Li Xuan threw away a bunch of negative feelings, and looked at the two brothers in front of him and felt a burst of curiosity. What kind of ability do they have to open their own film company to the verge of bankruptcy with such a deep background.

Now Li Xuan already knows that this film company is called Yongsheng, not Yongsheng.

That is to say, if Li Xuan did not appear, the company would have closed down in the end.

This is a black club! As far as Li Xuan knows, like Liu Jialing in later generations, will he ask for filming, not filming? Kidnap! Please Liu Dehua film, don't film? Point a gun at your head and see if you shoot or not!

entered the film circle, and the two people who still talked about the rules like this, Li Xuan had to admire.

After everyone sat down, Xiang Huasheng looked at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's business is good these days, the two movies he made have made money, I heard that there are two new ones to be released soon?" Hey, it's like our brothers, who made two movies and lost a lot. ”

"Hehe, Xiang Sir said a smile. I'm also walking on thin ice now, for fear that one day I will lose only my underwear! Li Xuan replied with a smile.

"Hey, I've been watching movies since I was four years old. At that time, I always ran behind Mr. Wu Chufan and Ms. Deng Biyun, and it was easy to watch them make movies, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got started, I ......, hey! Xiang Huasheng shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

"South China Actor" Wu Chufan and "Almighty Queen" Deng Biyun, Li Xuan has also heard of it, and they are Hong Kong movie stars before the 60s. At that time, it was not surprising that he could mix well in the troubled times of Hong Kong, and he knew the Xiang family.

Taking a sip of the kung fu tea handed over to Xiang Huaqiang, Li Xuan looked at Xiang Huaqiang and asked, "Then this time, Yongsheng plans to give it a go?" ”

"yes!" Xiang Huaqiang replied: "After all, movies are the dreams of our brothers, and I don't want to give up casually." I have a script in my hand, but I lack the talent of a director, so I want to ask Director Wang of your company to help me film. ”

Xiang Huaqiang patted Li Xuan's shoulder as he spoke, and then said, "Don't worry, my brother won't treat you badly." ”

This put his brother on himself, Li Xuan secretly spit out a bad sentence, and immediately hit the snake with a smile on the pole: "Brother Qiang said this, how can I not be at ease, brother." But ......"

As soon as these two words came out, Xiang Huaqiang's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "But what?" ”

Li Xuan smiled slightly and continued: "However, my brother Jin Zai has a play in his hand that has not been finished in the later stage, and it is estimated that he will have to wait more than half a month to help Brother Qiang shoot this drama." ”

"Haha, what else should I do?" Xiang Huaqiang smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, Brother Li, don't worry, it will take us half a month to prepare for the auction here, and the time is just right!" ”

"Brother Qiang really plans to shoot "Ghost Hitting the Wall"?" Li Xuan asked tentatively.

"What? Questions? Xiang Huaqiang asked with a frown.

Li Xuan poured himself a cup of tea and said: "Little brother, let me say something unpleasant, this kind of film, if you don't invite a few stars to support the scene, there is a high probability that you will lose money." ”

Li Xuan's implication is that you are not good enough to be popular with Huaqiang, so it is better to ask someone else to act.

To say that Li Xuan watched Xiang Huaqiang's early movies, he felt that his acting skills were not bad, but unfortunately he didn't become popular. Last year, "Zama" produced by Yongsheng Company was hurriedly painted after seven days of being released on Golden Harvest, with a box office of 1.2 million, which was a small loss. But this year's "Liangshan Strange Tricks" was released for six days, and the entire box office added up to only 160,000, which is considered to be a loss to grandma's house!

Li Xuan's words made Xiang Huaqiang's face gloomy. He really likes movies, otherwise he wouldn't have run so many tricks in the first place. After Yongsheng was established, although he starred in person for the purpose of saving money, he didn't want to make a name for himself in the film industry with his own ability. Otherwise, with his identity as the new Ngee An boss, why wouldn't he be faster than this?

Seeing that there were signs of coldness, Xiang Huasheng hurriedly said with a smile next to him: "Hehe, Brother Li is so optimistic about my brother?" ”

"Haha! Brother Sheng laughed. Li Xuan laughed: "It's not that I don't like Brother Qiang, you must know that Brother Qiang played "Crocodile Tan Heroes" a few years ago, I like it very much." I just don't like this script, it doesn't match Brother Qiang's aura. ”

"Don't like this script? Could it be that the old brother ......" Xiang Huaqiang asked suspiciously.

Seeing that the conversation had been introduced, Li Xuan nodded: "Yes, I have a script outline here, I think it should be good if Brother Qiang comes to act." ”

After speaking, Li Xuan took out the script that had just written an outline and handed it over.

Xiang Hua Qiang glanced at the name of the script and said in surprise: ""The King of Killers"? ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "To put it simply, it can be regarded as a new type of police and gangster film. How about you guys take a look at the story? ”

After flipping through it casually, Xiang Huaqiang nodded: "It seems that the story is not bad." As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Jin, who had not been silent for a long time, and continued: "But this kind of police and gangster film is very difficult to shoot well." I don't know ...... Director Wang"

Xiang Huaqiang's worries are not unreasonable. This year's police and gangster movies are still niche. If the movie is made well, the box office will be very good, just like "Jumping Ashes" in 1976, which received a box office of 3.87 million, ranking third in the Hong Kong box office list that year. And more police and gangster films are money-losing goods, such as "Crocodile Tan Heroes", which Golden Harvest spent a lot of money to shoot back then.

It was his turn, Wang Jin was not ambiguous, he didn't want to make a bad movie "Ghost Hitting the Wall" and then be cut down, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, this film will not be difficult for me." And when the time comes, Xuan Tsai will be my assistant director and help me check together! ”

No way! Li Xuan secretly glared at Wang Jin, this guy didn't forget to drag him into the water at any time.

Now that the words have been spoken, Li Xuan can't send the script in vain, so he opened his mouth and said to Xiang Huaqiang: "Brother Qiang, if you are worried, it is better for us to have a joint venture with this movie, and I will invest forty percent of the budget." ”

The meaning of this is that the two companies will cooperate and kick out Wang Jin's private box office share.

Someone is willing to take risks together, Xiang Huaqiang is a lot more relieved, and he is still the starring actor, so he nodded and smiled: "Then I wish everyone a happy cooperation, and the new film will be a big hit at the box office." ”

This is the tea room, and Li Xuan had to pick up a cup of tea and replace the wine with tea and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

Xiang Huaqiang cared about acting in movies, while Xiang Huasheng was more concerned about making movies, watching Li Xuan put down the teacup, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder when Brother Li's script will be completed?" ”

"Oh, soon, I guess it'll be in a week or so." Li Xuan replied. I still remember the general storyline of the movie, and when the time comes, I can just delete and add some of it, and it's not too troublesome.

"So fast." Xiang Huasheng asked in surprise: "Then since Brother Li is in his chest, I don't know what you think about other actors?" Let's talk about it and we'll get in touch as soon as possible. ”

Other actors? You're not going to look for it, are you? The corner of Li Xuan's eyes twitched, do these two guys want to be the shopkeeper.

recalled the memory, fortunately, this time except for the actor, the other supporting actors in it have all debuted. So Li Xuan said: "That policeman, I decided to find Ren Dahua from wireless to play." ”

"Ren Dahua?" Xiang Huasheng asked curiously.

"Well, he is a small actor, and not long ago he played a supporting role in Deng Guangrong's movie "Family Law", and his acting skills are very good." Li Xuan said slowly

Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang nodded: "Since Ah Rong is eye-catching, it should be good." ””

"As for the heroine's brother...... Li Xuan pondered, the original movie was a father and daughter who depended on each other, but now Zeng Zhiwei is not so old, Li Xuan simply changed to a brother and sister who depend on each other, anyway, it doesn't hurt.

Li Xuan said slowly: "I decided to find Zeng Zhiwei from Luowei Film Company to act. ”

Zeng Zhiwei debuted in the early seventies, and at first he was a dragon and tiger martial artist. Because he knew that the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts were eating youth, the more he went on, the less promising he became, and then he slowly changed his career to become a screenwriter. Until the recent year, he went to Luowei's film company to become a director. filmed several films one after another, without making money or losing money, and the name never got up.

I thought it was just an ordinary sentence, but I didn't expect it......

"Zeng Zhiwei?" Xiang Huaqiang asked with a look of surprise.

"yes!" Li Xuan frowned: "Why, Brother Qiang, you still know him." ”

"Haha, why don't you know." Xiang Huaqiang laughed and said, "If you really count it, I'm still his elder!" (To be continued.) )
