Chapter 220: Long Qiwei

"Hey, you kid, I can't wait!" Hong Jingbao said loudly.

"Haha, Brother Sanmao, don't talk about you, I can't wait." Li Xuan smiled and replied: "If this movie is going to be released in time for Christmas, we have to speed up the progress." Let's go, Brother Sanmao, I'll take you to invite the actors together. ”

Why do you have to invite outsiders for this movie?

Hong Jingbao looked at Li Xuan, who picked up the wine glass and said that he would leave, and was slightly stunned, and then quickly chased after him with Yuan Dart on the side and asked, "Ah Xuan, don't you need anyone from the Hong family class this time?" Don't worry, those difficult actions that Ah Long did can also be done by our Hongjia class. ”

Li Xuan paused slightly, and then smiled: "Yes, it's just that this time I have to find a few actors with surnames for the protagonists, villains or something, and the people of the Hong family class have to do it." As for those difficult moves......"

Looking at Hong Jingbao and the two with doubts on their faces, Li Xuan smiled bitterly and continued: "As for those difficult actions, I don't dare to shoot this "Police Story" anymore after I filmed it, and it's not easy to be worried for more than a month. ”

"What about this play?"

Hong Jingbao is now full of confusion, the new drama is not Chenglong's kind of kung fu film, and he has to invite an actor with a surname outside, don't the people in our Hong family class have a surname? Think about curry, noon code, Chen Long, which of these people is not a surname, if you want a harlequin, you want a harlequin, and you want a happy horn.

"I said it earlier, this new play is about the story of five thieves, a fashion kung fu comedy." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Isn't the comedy released in this Christmas file complementing each other." ”

“……”

Looking at Hong Jingbao, who was slightly stunned, Li Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Sanmao, I'll show you the script tomorrow, keep it if you like it, you can't keep making those psychic kung fu movies." ”

This time, Hong Jingbao didn't speak, but Yuan Dart was busy interjecting next to him: "Brother Xuan, is there any role for me?" ”

"Uh-huh-" Li Xuan coughed pretending to be and said in a low voice: "Ah Dart, how about you come to play a cameo role in the movie?" ”

"Huh? It's just a cameo. Yuan Dart replied with some frustration.

"Hey, you kid." Li Xuan also learned from Hong Jingbao, pointed at Yuan Dart and said: "My company is going to shoot "Black Man 2" later, and you will be busy in a few days." ”

"Wow, really?"

Yuan Dart immediately felt that his eyes lit up, no matter what, how can the protagonist be comfortable as a supporting role in this filming, and the drama "Black Man" is not bad.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, raised his feet and walked forward.

"Huh? That's not right. Yuan Dart suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after Li Xuan and asked, "Brother Xuan, you are filming a new drama, so who is the director of "Black Man 2"?" ”

This time, Li Xuan didn't stop, and replied casually: "Wang Jin, the director who filmed "The King of Killers". Although he is good at making comedy films, he is also impatient with kung fu films. ”

"Oh......"

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Yuan Dart nodded as if he didn't understand, he was not as talented as his two senior brothers, Chenglong and Hong Jingbao, and now he was just ignorant of the director's business.

Hong Jingbao and Yuan Dart were led by Li Xuan all the way to a table of wine, and when they saw Li Xuan holding a wine glass, they said to a person who was a little stunned: "Mr. Wu, look up for a long time!" ”

Wu Yaohan looked at the famous director at home and abroad in front of him in a daze, and it wasn't until the other party greeted him that he hurriedly stood up with a wine glass and said, "Don't dare to be, Mr. Li praised it falsely." ”

"How can this be a false praise, Mr. Wu doesn't know." Li Xuan chuckled lightly and continued: "The first movie I came to Hong Kong to watch in the cinema was Mr. Wu's "Thief and Detective", and Mr. Wu's comedy talent really amazed me. And I also watched Mr. Wu's recent "Long Wei", which is very exciting, and I like it very much. ”

""Long Jiawei" ......" Wu Yaohan smiled bitterly and said: "The general of the defeated army, don't mention it." ”

Wu Yaohan has been a comedian since returning to Hong Kong in the UK, and in 1975 he and Mai Jia co-founded a pioneering film company, which produced some creative and low-budget films, and the results were not bad. However, since Mai Jia and Shi Tian formed Struggle Pictures, Pioneer Pictures has also broken up. Wu Yaohan also concentrated on being an actor, and this year, with the support of Zou Wenhuai, he founded a satellite company of Golden Harvest, Jiafeng Pictures, and the opening work was "Long Wei".

It's just that the luck of "Long Wei" is not very good, and it meets the big metamorphosis of "Police Story". When the number of screenings of "Police Story" was reduced half a month after its release, Golden Harvest was the rehearsed "Long Dawei". As a result, "Long Wei" was released ten days after its release, and the box office only received 2.57 million.

However, "Long Wei" is only a low-budget comedy, and Li Xuan estimates that Wu Yaohan should have made a small profit.

"Mr. Wu, although defeated, it is still glorious." Li Xuan said with relief.

"Haha, don't mention it, don't mention it." Wu Yaohan waved his hand, looked at Li Xuan and the three of them and asked curiously, "Mr. Li and the three of you came here together, I'm afraid there is something to find me, right?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded unabashedly and said: "Me and San, eh, Mr. Hong Jingbao and I plan to start filming a new drama, there is a role I want to invite Mr. Wu to play, I think Mr. Wu should still have a schedule at this time." ”

"Me? Starring? Wu Yaohan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What type of film?" ”

"Fashion kung fu comedy." Yuan Dart interjected on the side.

"Forehead......" Wu Yaohan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is there a script?" But I don't know how to play. ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I don't need Mr. Wu to fight, it's just that I don't have the script with me now, I don't know when Mr. Wu will be free, let's talk in person in person." ”

"I'm free anytime, and I've just finished filming a movie and I'm very idle now." Wu Yaohan said in a loud voice.

"Then it's settled." Li Xuan laughed loudly: "When I find all the actors, let's come out and talk together......"

"Oh, what do you say?"

Suddenly, a voice suddenly interrupted Li Xuan's words, and everyone fled to the front, but it was Zou Wenhuai who came over with Chenglong, so everyone greeted each other.

"Hello, Mr. Zou!"

"When did Uncle Huai come over?"

"Hello Uncle Huai!"

“……”

"Okay, everyone!" Zou Wenhuai raised his hand, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "What were you talking about just now, it seems to be very lively." ”

Hong Jingbao replied softly: "Well, it's Ah Xuan who is discussing the new drama with us." ”

"Oh?" Zou Wenhuai's eyes froze slightly, and then he smiled: "Ah Xuan's play started to prepare so soon?" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Huai, I feel too late to prepare now, we are still a Christmas movie, and everyone in the new art city has begun to prepare for next year's New Year's show." Li Xuan replied with a smile.

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said quite arrogantly: "If you have anything difficult to solve, just tell me and I'll help you get it." ”

"Then I'll thank Uncle Huai first."

"Ha, you're polite!" Zou Wenhuai smiled and continued: "By the way, Ah Xuan, you still have to go on a trip with Ah Long and a few of the main creators of "Police Story" in September. ”

"Forehead......" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "The main creator of the movie ran the book?" Is there going to be a premiere over there? ”

Zou Wenhuai patted Chenglong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, Toei Company is very optimistic about Ah Long's "Police Story", so it also wants to have a premiere before the official release of the book." ”

"September?" Li Xuan pondered for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't Ah Long's "Cannonball Speed" released at about the same time as Hong Kong?" ”

After the painting of "Zombie Road Chief 2" supervised by Hong Jingbao, the movie that Golden Harvest arranged to take over was really "Cannonball Speed" by Chenglong going to the United States, but it was just in time for the tail of this summer file.

"No, although that movie also has our Golden Harvest investment, it is indeed invested by Golden Harvest Company in the United States, so it has to be regarded as a Western film." Zou Wenhuai explained: "Our Hong Kong and Yueben are both overseas, so the film scheduling time is slightly different. The rehearsal time of "Cannonball Speed" in the book will be put to next year. ”

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded suddenly.

Zou Wenhuai continued: "So a few of you, also prepare to prepare, don't make any mistakes at that time." ”

"Okay!" Li Xuan nodded, and suddenly said, "By the way, Uncle Huai, you just had difficulties looking for you in the club, so I can't regret it." ”

"Uh......" Zou Wenhuai was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Do you have any trouble?" ”

"Hehe, I have some scenes in this play that I have to shoot in this book." Li Xuan smiled and said playfully: "So, now I have to ask Uncle Huai's relationship to help me take care of it." (To be continued.) )
