Chapter 48: Happy Cooperation
"Fat Wang, did you do it on purpose this time?" Zhong Chuhong put down the mint tea in his hand and asked.
Stuffing the last sandwich in his hand, Wang Jin replied indignantly: "How can you call me Wang Fatzi, you have to call me brother-in-law." ”
Before Zhong Chuhong could reply, Li Xuan was angry: "Wang Fatty, you take advantage of me less!" ”
"Go!" Wang Fatzi glanced at Li Xuan with disdain, took a sip of his mint tea, pursed his lips and said, "I don't feel as good as black tea." ”
"Didn't you?" Zhong Chuhong took a sip of surprise to herself: "I feel that this is also very delicious." ”
"You leave him alone, he only deserves to drink plain water." Li Xuan glared at Wang Fatzi hatefully: "I shouldn't have handed over the contact matter to him." ”
"Didn't I get in touch? They'll be here later. ”
Li Xuan rubbed his forehead: "Why do you find some unreliable places every time you ask you to contact them?" ”
"Unreliable? It's much better than the Peninsula Hotel opposite! Wang Jin looked innocently at the magnificent Victoria Harbour outside the window.
It's much better than the Peninsula Hotel across the harbour, and they're now on the second floor of the famous Mandarin Oriental Hotel at 5 Connaught Road Central, Central, Hong Kong. The view here is unobstructed, and you can enjoy afternoon tea while overlooking the view of Victoria Harbour, which is indeed much better than the Peninsula Hotel opposite, which is completely blocked by the space museum.
This dead fat man, Li Xuan scolded hatefully, he was pretending to be a private man again.
The Peninsula Hotel is the place where Shao Yifu likes to have afternoon tea. And Mandarin Oriental, Li Xuan looked around, it was Zhang Guorong's favorite place to drink afternoon tea. Later, on April Fool's Day in 2003, he jumped from the 24th floor here. But now, Li Xuan obviously came at an inopportune time, and he didn't see the superstar later.
However, it seems that the later superstar is still an actor on Li's TV station, Li Xuan inadvertently glanced at his "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" some time ago, and he is a young man.
"Ha, Xuan Zai, Jin Zai, Miss Zhong, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm a little late."
A word suddenly came from the side, Li Xuan turned his head to look, and saw the tall Hong Jingbao Dragon walking over. There was a person behind him, but unfortunately he was blocked tightly by this guy, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Li Xuan hurriedly stood up and replied with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, it's not too late, it's not too late, it's us who came early." ”
"Haha, the afternoon tea here is good, you can try it often." Hong Jingbao walked to the table and said, and the person behind him was finally revealed.
The sharp eyebrows, the old-fashioned beard, and the serious expression on his face.
Li Xuan glanced at it and almost shouted "Lin Zhengying", but immediately thought that he shouldn't know him now, so he swallowed the words again.
"Who is this?" Li Xuan asked pretending to be excited.
Only then did Hong Jingbao react, pointing at Lin Zhengying and introducing: "Lin Zhengying, one of my junior brothers, is doing things with me now. ”
"...... Ying, hello Brother Ying!" Li Xuan almost shouted Uncle Ying, but he reacted immediately. This Sammo Hung is only more than a year older than himself, and his junior brother will definitely not be his uncle.
Lin Zhengying is really old, and now she looks like a person who is almost forty.
"Uh, hello!" Lin Zhengying embarrassedly stretched out her right hand and shook it with Li Xuan.
"Waiter......" Li Xuan called the waiter, looked at Hong Jingbao and said, "Sit, sit, sit." ”
After everyone sat down, Li Xuan said with a smile: "I came to Brother Sanmao this time, I have an idea to cooperate with Brother Sanmao." ”
"Cooperation?" Hong Jingbao asked suspiciously, and then said to Lin Zhengying, who was ordering food next to him: "If you order two meals, I won't order them." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Zhengying nodded with a serious face. Li Xuan smiled secretly when he saw this wooden appearance, he was worthy of being called "Uncle Ying" later, and his age and style of acting looked a little older than others.
"Yes, there is a script that I want to cooperate with Brother Sanmao's Baoxiang," Wang Jin said busily beside him.
"Script?" Hong Jingbao muttered suspiciously, looked at Li Xuan and said, "It won't be a horror movie, right?" I heard that Xuan Zai's movie is selling well. ”
"Hehe, it's good, but this time I'm looking for Brother Sanmao not to make a horror movie, it's a comedy." Li Xuan replied with a smile.
"The Grudge" was finally released in Southeast Asia and the book two days ago, and the attendance rate was not bad. Especially in this book, the daily attendance rate is basically more than 60%. As for the box office of the book, Li Xuan swore that if he returned to 2000, he would definitely beat the butts of those who wrote about Hong Kong entertainment, and the box office of the book as soon as it was released was all nonsense. Now that Ben is still implementing the box office rationing system, the specific box office has not been counted by their own theaters, how do you know in Hong Kong? At most, I know a ration box office, but the ration box office is about half the difference between the total box office, and this ration box office has to be found out after the painting.
"Comedy?" Hong Jingbao was stunned for a moment.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "The last time I chatted with Brother Sanmao, didn't I say that I wanted to combine kung fu with ghosts." After I went back, I thought of a script with Jin Zai. ”
"Can you show me the script?" Hong Jingbao asked.
"Yes, Jin Zai, show the script to Brother Sanmao." Li Xuan said to Wang Jin. As for whether Hong Jingbao will regret filming alone after reading the script, is this possible? People who can be called big brother by the whole Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future generations, don't have this bit of energy?
Seeing Hong Jingbao take the script and read it carefully, Li Xuan turned his target to Lin Zhengying.
"Brother Ying, what have you been doing lately?" Li Xuan asked without words.
"Huh?" Lin Zhengying obviously didn't expect Li Xuan to look for him and say, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said: "Oh, it's nothing, didn't you finish filming a scene just now, and be a martial artist." ”
"Miscellaneous Kids?"
"Uh-huh!" Lin Zhengying nodded back with a smile, and hurriedly picked up his black tea and drank it.
Later generations heard that Lin Zhengying was like this, but he didn't expect Mu Cheng to be like this. Li Xuan smiled and asked, "Is Brother Ying interested in being the second male lead?" ”
"Bang Bang"
But the teacup in Lin Zhengying's hand fell on the table, and his clothes were splashed with a large piece of water. Hong Jingbao next to him turned his head and looked at him strangely, obviously not hearing what Li Xuan said just now.
"Male number two?" Lin Zhengying asked in surprise. can't help but be surprised, in the past, he appeared as a stand-in, martial arts finger or a supporting role without showing his face, but now someone is looking for him to play the second male lead?
At this time, Hong Jingbao also reacted, and asked in surprise: "Male No. 2?" ”
"yes!" Li Xuan pointed to the script in Sammo Hung's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, except for the heroine, you can decide the other roles." Moreover, don't you think it's fair for Brother Ying to play the second uncle in it if he paints makeup? ”
"This ......" Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying glanced at each other, so good? How do you feel a little bit unkind?
Looking at the two of them who were full of doubts, Li Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, to be honest, how long do you think your current kung fu comedy can go?" ”
This question made Hong Jingbao and the others stunned. In fact, the current Hong Jingbao has long seen that kung fu comedy is no longer going far, otherwise he would not have made the classic fantasy kung fu film "Scary" next year. And now Chenglong's kung fu comedy is blue, and he is crushed to death as a senior brother, which has made him a little breathless.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Li Xuan sighed and said: "To say something unpleasant, in fact, when I watched Brother Sanmao's "Miscellaneous Boy" the night before, I felt a little boring. blindly the plot of revenge for the dead relatives, the blind lengthy fights, and I know the end after watching the beginning. With such a film, I really feel that I won't live long. ”
"Hey......" Hong Jingbao sighed and replied in a dull voice: "Then how do you want to cooperate with Xuan Zai?" ”
"I'll publish the script here, plus 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then the heroine." Li Xuan pointed at Zhong Chuhong, and finally looked at the fat man with an expectant look and said, "There is also a director." When the box office comes out, we will split the account fifty-fifty. ”
"Director?" Hong Jingbao looked at Wang Jin and said in surprise: "Jinzai? ”
"Well, it's just ......" Li Xuan paused and replied: "I want to ask Brother Sanmao to be the assistant director." ”
Hearing this, the face of the fat man Wang, who was still smiling just now, collapsed. But Li Xuan doesn't care so much, such a film with Hong's comedy style can't let Wang Jin go off-topic.
Hong Jingbao groaned for a while, and then replied to Li Xuan as if relieved: "Yes, but it's ......" Hong Jingbao looked at Wang Jin: "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the people in the Shaw Brothers?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Wang Jin laughed strangely: "What they want to scold has already been scolded......"
Hong Jingbao's film is destined to be released only in Golden Harvest. Now Wang Fatzi has left a notoriety in the Shaw Family, and I don't know if it will have any impact on Wang Tianlin, if it is......
Li Xuan shook his head, stretched out his right hand and said to Hong Jingbao: "Brother Sanmao, happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!"
