Chapter 325: Society Movie

"Mr. Deng, thank you for your great support to Wanda!" Li Xuan took the wine in his hand and thanked Deng Guangrong in front of him.

"Haha, Mr. Li is polite." Deng Guangrong laughed out loud and continued: "Boss Cai's friend is my friend, and I will ask Boss Li to take care of me in the future." ”

Li Xuan nodded and responded, "It must be!" ”

"When did Mr. Li sign Miss Deng to his subordinates?" Deng Guangrong suddenly looked at Deng Liqun who was not far away and asked.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and also glanced at Deng Liqun before replying: "At the beginning of the year, there was a shortage of people under my hands, and it just so happened that we had cooperated with Miss Deng a few times before, so we dug Miss Deng by the way." ”

"Hah-"

Deng Guangrong sighed and said, "Your company's talent reserve is much more than ours. ”

"Haha, there's no need to be jealous of anything." Li Xuanchang laughed and said, "Compared to the Shaw Brothers, the artists of our company are actually just that. Besides, we don't want Shaw Brothers actors to have so many restrictions on receiving films outside, so my actors are everyone's actors. The next time Mr. Deng is short of actors in filming, just come to me. ”

"Oh?" Deng Guangrong raised his eyebrows, and then smiled: "Then next time I will ask Mr. Li for help." ”

"The contemptible must do his best!" Li Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand and replied.

Deng Guangrong's previous Darong Film Company was secretly invested by Cai Songlin, and Deng Guangrong and his brother Deng Guangzhou co-founded it, and it has always been Deng Guangrong's main and Deng Guangzhou's main house. The boom of Hong Kong films in the past two years has attracted a lot of hot money from Taiwan, and Cai Songlin is the biggest one. After this guy supported the two brothers' Darong Pictures to get close to Golden Harvest, he also supported a film hero to get closer to Wanda.

Anyway, this movie tycoon is not bad for money!

The Taiwanese market in this era is extremely hungry, and the attendance rate of local films and the poor box office have made Taiwanese film companies turn their attention to Hong Kong, which is a small land. For example, Tsai Songlin's scholar company, which has more than 90 theaters in Taiwan, needs an extremely large number of films every year. Thinking that there were only 16 theaters in Shaw Brothers back then, but they needed about 40 films a year, so you can see how short of film sources are for scholars.

There are too many bad movies in Hong Kong in later generations to count. Many people believe that it is because of the influx of hot money in Taiwan. If you think about it carefully, there is no reason why Taiwan's local market is not strong and urgently needs external forces.

In short, this kind of adjustment behavior of the market economy has brought a golden decade to the Hong Kong film industry, and it has also brought the Hong Kong film industry into decline.

I don't know if it's joy or sorrow......

There is so much gossip, but in fact, Cai Songlin, a group of Taiwanese capital predators, has more than that. For example, through the channel of the Bamboo Union Gang, Cai Songlin caught up with Xiang Huaqiang of New Ngee An, and unprecedentedly injected capital into Yongsheng and became one of the shareholders of this film company. Xiang Huaqiang, who has a lot of funds, opened two movies in one go in the first half of this year. even borrowed Liu Dehua, who Li Xuan had just brought out, to film.

For example, at the celebration banquet now. Xiang Huaqiang also hooked up with Deng Guangrong. A very familiar look, it looks so lively.

"Brother Qiang, are you still satisfied with Andy's acting skills?" Li Xuan and Deng Guangrong had a conversation, and then talked to Xiang Huaqiang next to him.

Xiang Huaqiang nodded slightly. smiled: "Satisfied, satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that Hua Tsai is Ah Xuan's subordinate to you, I would have started robbing people a long time ago, haha-"

"Why rob it, Brother Qiang will say it directly if he wants someone in the future." Li Xuan pretended to be arrogant and said.

The Sino-British negotiations in Hong Kong are almost over, and Li Xuan now has to consider starting to hug his thighs. After the official determination of Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 97, the law and order of this palm-sized place will be chaotic to the point of being photographable. Think about some of the gossip that came out of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in later generations, what New Arts City film was robbed, and what Lau Dehua was pointed at gunpoint to take over the play. What Chenglong filmed casually with pistols and grenades.

What kind of movie is this, it's just playing with life!

Hong Kong is about to usher in a golden decade of Hong Kong films, and it is also the most rampant decade of the community, for the sake of his family and friends, it is absolutely necessary for Li Xuan and Xin Ngee An to have a good relationship.

So this time, Yongsheng followed the trend and made a gambling film. Not only did the actor borrow it directly from Li Xuan, but even the script of this follow-up gambling film "Supreme" was personally copied by Wang Jin, who led the last gambling frenzy.

But what's even more amazing is that the director of this movie turned out to be Xiang Huasheng.

I think that when Li Xuan heard the news, he was also ignorant for most of the day. In his memory, he must have known that Xiang Huaqiang was both an actor and a producer, so he was never surprised by this. But hasn't his younger brother Xiang Huasheng always been a producer, when did he become a director?

That, he's going to do this?

However, thinking that Xiang Huaqiang and Cai Songlin dared to put eggs in Xiang Huasheng's pit, at least they should still have a little confidence in their hearts. Therefore, this "Supreme Supreme", which has not yet been released, has become one of Li Xuan's most anticipated movies this year.

"Of course, I'm not going to be polite to you!" Xiang Huaqiang also replied unusually arrogantly.

Li Xuan smiled and replied, "That's right, it's not long before you get a minute." ”

"That's right, that's kind." Xiang Huaqiang paused suddenly, pulled Li Xuan to the side and asked, "Ah Xuan, how long ago was the last time the two brothers cooperated, and when will they work together again?" ”

"Cooperation ......" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What kind of cooperation method does Brother Qiang want?" ”

Xiang Huaqiang's eyes lit up, and said: "How else can you cooperate, my brother doesn't lose you, when the time comes, you just need to write the script and the director, and we will cover all the other expenses, and when the box office comes out, you will be six and I will be four!" ”

"Six-four splits?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang has been making movies for a few years, but he has really made a fortune." ”

"Hehe, there's just a big boss partner." Xiang Huaqiang smiled and continued: "And I know Ah Xuan's ability, even if I only get forty percent, I will definitely be able to make money, why not." ”

If this doesn't make money, will you cut me down? Li Xuan thought about it in a mess, and then cleared his thoughts and replied: "Brother Qiang, if you cooperate, I have an idea now, and the subject matter is not bad, but ......"

"But what?" Xiang Huaqiang looked at Li Xuan and hesitated, and hurriedly asked.

"But this film, let's wait for the Sino-British negotiations to finish filming, and I should be empty at that time." Li Xuan frowned and continued: "Now that it's filmed, the impact is a bit big, I'm afraid that the electrical inspection office won't be able to pass it." ”

"Shhhh

Xiang Huaqiang gasped, and asked in a worried and hurried whisper: "You mean, this movie of yours is mapped to the mainland?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qiang, you misunderstood, this movie is not about that side." ”

"What's that?" Xiang Huaqiang asked curiously.

Li Xuan thought about it, but decided to reveal it a little, so he said directly: "Brother Qiang, what do you think of us making a club movie?" ”

"Club movies?" Xiang Huaqiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Deng Guangrong at the banquet before replying: "It's similar to "The True Colors of Heroes"? That's not bad, this kind of theme was very popular last year, and Guangrong's several club movies since the transformation have sold a lot of money. ”

“……”

What mess? Li Xuan was stunned for a while, obviously misunderstood Xiang Huaqiang.

But think about Deng Guangrong, he is indeed a person who has changed a lot. The handsome and dashing 'student prince' in the sixties and seventies is now always making some gangster hero films. What films such as "Family Law", "Covering the Sky with One Hand", "Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law" and "No Drug, No Husband", all of them are this kind of gangster hero films. This guy has been busy for many years, and finally turned himself from a 'student prince' into an underworld boss.

Li Xuan suddenly cried and laughed, and quickly explained: "It's not a gangster hero movie, it's just a club movie." ”

"Forehead ......" scratched Hua Qiang's hair and asked suspiciously: "Is there any difference between club movies and gangster hero films?" ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Of course there is a difference. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Gangster hero film, we are talking about the boss who negotiates with the enemy, but ......" Li Xuan thought for a while and recalled: "But in the club movie, we talk about the little brother who carries a machete when the boss is negotiating with the enemy. ”
