Chapter 121: Trivia (Two Chapters in One)

(Note: I have to fix the computer today, the two chapters are one, and I don't have to wait for the chapter at night)

While Li Xuan was doing the post-production of "Black Hero", he didn't think about digging Zhou Yunfa and Wu Mengda in the past, those two people are rare talents.

It's a pity that I inquired with Ren Dahua later and found out that Zhou Yunfa at this time, although he was titled "box office poison", also terminated the contract with Xieli Film Company after a quarrel. But there are not no people looking for him to film, there is a film company named Deli who doesn't believe in this evil, and invited Zhou Yan to star in a movie called "Playing Up".

Now Li Xuan has already predicted the end of this movie.

As for Wu Mengda, it was even more terrible, he was hidden by the wireless, and this guy simply ran to Taiwan in a fit of rage. Last year's "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was not only a hit in Hong Kong, but also received good ratings in Taiwan.

The current Taiwanese people don't really understand this guy, so Wu Mengda is doing very well in Taiwan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiuchi Meat Lin is not happy.

At this time, TVB has a special rule that any TVB contracted artist must report back to TVB once a month. Wu Mengda directly ignored this rule, and allowed the senior management of the wireless artist section to call several times, but he couldn't go back.

This guy can't go back, but it's not far from death.

These two people, one is filming movies as a free body, and the other is simply not in Hong Kong, so Li Xuan is too lazy to pay attention to it in a short time.

In the small screening room of the Golden Harvest Building, there are more than a dozen people sitting sparsely.

In addition to Li Xuan, Zou Wenhuai and Ye Zhiming, there are also Golden Harvest's second-in-command He Yichang, and even Cai Yongchang, the general manager of Golden Harvest Cinema Line, and Liu Lianghua, the production manager, are also there.

On the screen, Li Xuan's "Black Man" that Li Xuan had just completed was being screened, and everyone present except Ye Zhiming was a person with a keen eye for movies, and when they saw some wonderful fights, they couldn't help but exclaim a few times.

"Black Man" is different from "The King of Killers", although the latter has a lot of innovations in lenses and shooting techniques, it is mainly literary drama and gunfight scenes, and the weakness of martial arts is its biggest shortcoming. But "Black Hero" is absolutely the first in martial arts, and even the elements of martial arts are added to it, and the fight is extremely exciting.

At the end of the film, Zou Wenhuai took the lead in applauding, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah Xuan's film company is really getting more and more powerful, not only has a strong investment vision, but even your own boss is also out of the blue." ”

"Where, where, thank you Uncle Huai and all the big guys for their help." Kang Jianfei smiled modestly: "This time, I also took advantage of Ah Long's absence in Hong Kong to grab food in the summer stall." ”

"Ah Xuan, what you said is not right." He Xichang stood aside and said with a smile: "Your "Black Man" is very good, I dare to say that it has created a new genre of kung fu films. I regret sending Aaron to Hollywood now, who knows what will become of Hong Kong when he returns......"

He Guanchang shook his head regretfully after speaking.

"Haha, Uncle Chang, you really know how to laugh." Li Xuan shook his head with a smile: "When Ah Long comes back, Hong Kong is still his Hong Kong!" ”

Li Xuan's words are true, when Chenglong comes back, Hong Kong will still be his Hong Kong, as long as he can quickly change his film performance style.

You don't see that later Shichenglong changed his style to make fashion police and gangster films, what "Plan A", "Police Story" and the like, isn't it a mess, and it has not been affected by the new school of martial arts films at all.

"Ah Xuan, have you ever thought about ......" Zou Wenhuai hesitated for a moment and asked: "Have you ever thought about co-screening the movie and taking it to the Reading Power Grand Theater to be screened?" ”

"Grand Theater?" Li Xuan asked suspiciously.

Zou Wenhuai nodded and responded: "Yes, for example, Li Stage, Taiping Theater and the like." ”

"This?" Li Xuan asked in surprise, "Is it okay?" ”

Li Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to be so good to him!

Lee Stage is the property of the Lee family, not only used to show movies, but also used to perform dramas, star concerts, etc., Teresa Teng held 3 concerts on Lee Stage in the 70s. The annual Miss Hong Kong contest in Hong Kong is also held here.

The Taiping Theatre is not just an ordinary cinema, it is not only a luxury cinema on the same level as Lee Stage, but also the oldest cinema in Hong Kong. It was built before 1890 and has a history of nearly 100 years.

"What's not to do, your movie is worth the price." Zou Wenhuai replied with a smile.

At this time, He Guan Yichang also interjected on the side and said, "Yes, Ah Xuan, since your Uncle Huai has said it, we will handle the rest." ”

The screening is the screening, anyway, I earned it! Li Xuan nodded and smiled: "Then thank you Uncle Huai." ”

"Go, what do you want to thank your family." Zou Wenhuai teased and waved his hand.

Li Xuan didn't understand why Zou Wenhuai was so good to him until he walked out of the Golden Harvest Building. Today I just came to deliver a finished film, Li Xuan really didn't expect that in addition to the originally scheduled Golden Harvest Cinema, a few more theaters could be added.

"Zhiming, will there be any powerful movies of Shaw Brothers or Princess Jin later this month?" Li Xuan, who was driving, asked Ye Zhiming in the passenger seat.

Li Xuan just got his driver's license from the Transportation Department last month, and then spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a car, so he finally doesn't have to rub the car or take the bus every time he goes out. has become a car owner, and Li Xuan has benefited a lot.

"Nope." Ye Zhiming was also full of doubts and said: "I looked at the films on both sides, and they were not very good. Besides, the summer file hasn't officially started yet, and Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin won't come up with good films so quickly. Hey, how can we say that we all lost, and played a forward for Golden Harvest and Hong Jin Jingbao, just warmed up the film market. ”

"Haha, you can be content." Li Xuan said with a smile: "It's impossible for the three theaters to make us make a big fuss about the summer file, and their own film companies still have to make money." If one day we can be ranked in prime time, there are only two possibilities, one is that your boss and I have a cinema line ourselves; The second is that you change the big boss. ”

"Tsk, that's the same thing!"

Ye Zhiming sighed and nodded with a little regret.

"Wenhuai, why do you suddenly want to add a theater to Li Xuan's kid?"

At this time, in Zou Wenhuai's office in the Jiahe Building, He Yichang also asked Zou Wenhuai this question with a puzzled face.

"Haha, just in case." Zou Wenhuai smiled and put down a document in his hand and said slowly.

After listening to Zou Wenhuai's explanation, He Yichang was even more confused, and asked in a low voice, "Just in case?" ”

"Hehe, Xichang, how many theaters does our cinema chain have?" Zou Wenhuai replied to the question.

"19!" He Xichang replied a little inexplicably.

"What about Princess Kim?"

"Uh......" He Yichang couldn't hold his face a little, and said unhappily: "23." I said you wouldn't add a theater to Li Xuan for this reason, right? But it's not worth it. ”

"Haha, do you know what he said when I had dinner with Qiu Degeng yesterday?" Zou Wenhuai continued to change the topic and said.

"Qiu Degeng? What, what news does he have that we don't know? He Xichang asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, that guy met with Shao Yifu one day last month to go to the peninsula for afternoon tea." Zou Wenhuai said with a light in the corners of his eyes: "I just saw Lei Juekun and Li Xuan coming out of it." ”

"This Lei Juekun!" He Xichang's right hand slapped the desk, and said hatefully: "It's really digging our corner to death, the struggle has been dug up, and now it's coming to rob people again." Hey, no, how did Qiu Degeng know Li Xuan? ”

"It's not that he knows, it's Shao Yifu who knows!" Zou Wenhuai continued without raising his eyelids: "If you dig after the struggle, you will dig, don't be too angry, their movie style is very similar to Sanmao's, and they just made room for it." ”

"It's not a question of digging or not, it's that Lei Juekun gave this breath that is hard to swallow......" He Xichang sighed helplessly, turned his head and continued to ask: "It's because Li Xuan wasn't poached by Lei Juekun, that's why you said just in case?" ”

"Yes! Besides, we don't schedule Ah Xuan's movies every time, and people will run away after a long time. Zou Wenhuai said silently.

"Hehe, what's so difficult about that, next time we have a movie to make together." He Xichang said with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai picked up another document, shook his head and sighed: "You, you, you just want to hold the money by yourself." ”

"Haha, who doesn't want that. Now that my doubts have been solved, I will go out first. ”

He Qichang let out a long laugh and slowly walked out of Zou Wenhuai's office.

After the release of "Black Man", Li Xuan has to pay attention to another movie, his senior brother Du Qifeng's first movie "Blue Water and Cold Pool" is about to be released.

"Blue Water and Cold Pool" was scheduled to be released on June 12, and Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong rushed to the Yindu Theater in Kwun Tong that afternoon, which is one of the leading theaters of the Shuangnan Cinema Line.

Because the movie was released in the leftist theater of Shuangnan Cinema, although the movie was also held at midnight, there were obviously no reporters and critics to watch it, and there was no film review in the newspaper the next day. And because of the special surname of Shuangnan Cinema Line, except for a poster hanging at the entrance of the cinema, no other advertisements were done.

Therefore, there are very few people who watch the movie!

Li Xuan, who was sitting in the back row of the theater, looked at the audience around him, who had just arrived fifty percent, and had to start worrying that his senior brother might hit the street.

The male protagonist of this movie is played by Liu Songren, and Li Xuan is very familiar with him. In later generations, Li Xuan passed through the "Step by Step Shocking" filmed by the Tang Dynasty, but when it was still popular, he played the domineering Huang Ama in it.

However, Liu Songren was still very young at this time, just over 30 years old. In the past few years, he has been filming TV series on TVB, and in 76, he also cooperated with Wang Tianlin to shoot the "Lu Xiaofeng" series.

As for the heroine of the movie, her name is Guan Qinhua, Li Xuan doesn't know or hear of it, and she is probably a newcomer.

This is a costume action movie, but Li Xuan feels Du Qifeng's slightly suspenseful movie style in the movie. But looking at it, Li Xuan felt extremely depressed.

The film's shooting and narrative techniques are advanced, but it's too focused on reality and too dark.

The background of the film is the era when Dongchang was rampant in the late Ming Dynasty, and those depictions of the miserable lives of ordinary people appear from time to time in the movie, which is worrying to watch, and it reminds Li Xuan of the "1942" of Director Feng in the later generations.

That's not all, Du Qifeng actually started to abuse the master!

The male pig's foot worked hard to defeat the Jinyi guard, and when he thought he could live happily with the female pig's foot, the female pig's foot was killed by the enemy!

The abuser was so abused that by the time the film ended, there was already a lot of scolding in the theater!

"Rub! What a bullshit movie! ”

"Street fighter! What is the director's name? I went and cut him. ”

"Decrepit! Will it be a movie or not? ”

"Something!"

"Shit, waste my eight bucks!"

“……”

Listening to the messy scolding in the theater, Zhong Chuhong, who was in tears, pulled Li Xuan and walked out. Li Xuan, who was walking behind, had to sigh secretly, this movie hit the street,

"What a movie, the ending is so bad!" Zhong Chuhong said in pieces as he walked.

"Haha......"

Li Xuan let out a long laugh, his mood adjusted quickly, after all, what kind of movie of abusing the master has not been made in the future.

"You can still laugh?"

"I can't laugh at anything." Li Xuan smiled: "You just think this is an art film." ”

"You brothers are all perverts!"

"He's, I'm not ......" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I won't abuse the lord like this." ”

"Won't you abuse the Lord?"

Looking at Zhong Chuhong, who was full of curiosity, Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "No, I will let the actor die." ”

"Ahh

Zhong Chuhong smacked Li Xuan fiercely.

As Li Xuan expected, this movie caused a lot of scolding, and it also rushed to death. A week after the movie was released, Du Qifeng, who had already come out of TVB and was ready to enter the film industry, also retracted his head all of a sudden and returned to TVB to continue filming TV series.

Li Xuan also has no opinion on this, there is nothing to keep and so on. At this time, Du Qifeng, like Wu Yusen, was still in the period of exploring his own unique film style, and his company's temple was still too small to accommodate so many people.

"Blanton, aren't you going back to the United States?" Li Xuan sat in his office, rubbed his forehead and asked.

"Oh, why go back? I think it's a lot of fun to film here. Brandon, who was sitting opposite Li Xuan, shrugged his shoulders and said.

You're a construction engineer, and you really plan to be an actor in serial filming? Li Xuan, who was a little speechless, asked seriously: "Do you really plan to be an actor?" ”

"Truly, I testify to God!" Blanton raised his right hand and swore an oath.

"Well, although I don't believe in God. But you ......"

"Click"

With a soft sound, the office door was pushed open, and two small radish heads entered.

"Brother Xuan, when can we go out shopping?" Little Lori Ye Yuqing walked in with her nephew Ah Ren.

Li Xuan only felt a headache, this Ye Zhiming brought his son and sister to work!

Ye Zhiming actually has a lot of brothers and sisters, there are eleven of them. Their family was originally a prominent person in Macau, but later came to Hong Kong to earn a living when it was broken. Ye Zhiming is the eldest and Ye Yuqing is the youngest, although Ye Yuqing is only 12 years old at this time, her parents are already in their sixties. The older brothers and sisters who are older than Ye Yuqing are already able to read and take care of themselves, but this 12-year-old little Lori is obviously not good.

So the responsibility of taking care of the youngest sister naturally fell on the eldest brother Ye Zhiming, plus Ye Zhiming's wife died early, so he was both a father and a mother to pull these two children to grow up.

However, judging from Li Xuan's own two home visits to Ye Zhiming's house, his father and mother are very wet, but they just sound good. A lot of talk is just stocking.

Fortunately, neither of these children was badly raised.

"Shopping, why don't you just look for your sister Zhong?" Li Xuan rubbed his temples and said.

Little Lori was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and pouted and said, "But Sister Zhong asked us to come in and ask you?" ”

"Hey, little boy, are the thunderbolts on the post?"

At this time, Blanton was not confused, and interjected in a few half-baked Cantonese words that he had just learned, causing the two little ones to look at him strangely.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Xuan glared at Blanton hatefully, turned his head and said to the two little guys with a pleasant face: "Then you go out first, wait for my brother for five minutes, and then we will go out shopping." ”

"Brother Naxuan, you must hurry up!" Little Lori nodded in response.

"I promise!" Li Xuan also raised his right hand and gestured.

Seeing the two little guys walking out with a happy face, Li Xuan turned his head to Blanton and said, "Okay, now it's our turn to talk ......"

"Hey, what did you just say?" Blanton asked curiously.

"Don't interject!" Li Xuan glared at Blanton again, and saw that this guy was honest, before continuing: "As long as you join my company, the treatment will be the same as that of other actors, and it will not be considered a loan, so there will be no preferential treatment." In this way, if you agree, you can go next door to find Mr. Ye to sign a contract now. ”

"Oh, no problem, I'd love to!" Brandon said excitedly, stood up and prepared to walk out.

"That's right, wait a minute!" Li Xuan suddenly screamed.

Brandon, who had already walked to the door, turned his head curiously, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What else?" ”

"I want to remind you that actors in Hong Kong don't have an eight-hour workday." Li Xuan replied lightly.

"I know, now ......" Blanton asked, gesturing to the office next door, "Can I get over?" ”

"Yes." Li Xuan replied with a faint smile.

Looking at the closed door, Li Xuan smiled helplessly. In later generations, Hong Kong definitely did not have Brandon, an American actor, and now he has been made out by his own butterfly effect. Then I'll fiddle with this guy and see what it looks like in the end. And this guy's karate is not bad, and he is also a good martial artist.

"Ahh

Brandon, who walked to the door of the general manager's office, sneezed. Rubbing his nose, is this a girl who is far away in the United States thinking about herself? However, Blanton looked at the door in front of him and raised his hand to knock on it.

I'm a man who wants to be a big star!

Li Xuan tidied up the office and saw that there was nothing missing, so he opened the door of the office. Seeing that Zhong Chuhong was playing in the office with the two little guys, he laughed loudly: "Brothers and sisters, let's go, let's go shopping!" (To be continued.) )
