Chapter 228: McDonald Bear Comes to the Door
On the outskirts of Yuen Long, on the side of a deserted road.
A big fat man in prison uniform was holding a wire and reaching through the crack in the door of a small car parked on the side of the road to hook the door switch.
"Clickβ"
A soft bang! Aha, the door opened. The big fat man was secretly happy, and casually opened the car door and prepared to sit in.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
Suddenly, a large number of sirens sounded from far and near, and on the road, which was still very deserted just now, all kinds of police cars suddenly appeared around the man. Police motorcycles, police cars, police jeeps and even green military vehicles, and soldiers in green military uniforms jumped down from the cars and surrounded the big fat man in a big circle.
"Don't move!" The soldiers shouted with their guns in their hands.
The big fat man was so frightened that he hurriedly lay on the ground with his head in his hands, secretly glanced at the soldiers around him, and said with a crying voice: "What crime have I committed?" β
The crowd suddenly dispersed a thin slit the width of one person, and Cao Dahua walked in and said calmly: "Escape from prison." β
"Ahββ?h
Hearing this answer, the big fat man raised his head in surprise.
"Click, very good, this is over." Li Xuan shouted, stood up from behind the monitor and continued to say loudly: "Everyone pack up their things and get ready to go to the next outdoor spot to film." β
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of others, and walked straight to Hong Jingbao and Cao Dahua with the storyboard script and said, "Uncle Hua, I've worked hard for you this time." β
"Ha, it's not hard, it's hard to shoot a literary drama." Cao Dahua waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Li Xuan smiled and didn't respond, then looked at Hong Jingbao and said, "Brother Sanmao, I have to trouble you to help shoot the next shot, this is the script, it's hard work." β
"No problem!" Hong Jingbao took the script handed over by Li Xuan, and said with a loud voice: "You are still not at ease with my directing skills, you can go and get busy if you have something, it's better to be busy and wait for me to shoot all the shots before coming back." β
"Haha, those two, I'll go first."
Li Xuan smiled and arched his hand, and then walked to his car.
People in the Hong Kong film and television industry seem to like to talk about things in the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, and by the way, they have earned it the nickname of 'Filmmaker CafΓ©'. This afternoon, Li Xuan left the crew alone, but someone also asked him to talk about things at the Peninsula Hotel.
When Li Xuan arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, he found that the McDonald Bear who invited him had already arrived, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him who Li Xuan didn't know.
"Mr. Mai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delaying filming, it's a little late." Li Xuan took the lead in apologizing as soon as he came up.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, we've just arrived." McDonald Bear waved his hand, pointed to it and said, "Mr. Li, please sit down." β
"Thank you!"
Li Xuan nodded in thanks, looked at the middle-aged man next to McDonald Bear and said hesitantly, "Eh, who is this?" β
"Ha, Mr. Li, introduce yourself." The man smiled, stretched out his right hand and said, "My name is Xiao Ruoyuan." β
Li Xuan was slightly surprised, then stretched out his hand and shook it back, and praised: "It turned out to be Xiao Caizi, the holy hand of screenwriters, who was disrespectful and disrespectful." β
"Haha, Mr. Li praised it falsely." Xiao Ruoyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I, a screenwriter on a small screen, is not as good as a screenwriter on a big screen like Mr. Li." β
"Mr. Xiao, this is Miao Zan." Li Xuan waved his hand, and then looked at the more familiar McDonald Bear and asked, "By the way, Mr. Mai, I don't know what happened when you asked me out this time?" β
"Haha, waiter." Mai Dangxiong raised his hand and beckoned the waiter, then pointed at Li Xuan, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I'm afraid you should also know about the recent situation of Lishi, right?" β
Li Xuan gave a brief explanation to the waiter, and then nodded in response: "Yes, I heard that you Lishi has changed major shareholders, and the people in Taiwan have been very sad recently?" β
"Hmph, it's not just a bad feeling, it's just a mess." McDonald Bear sneered: "Those executives sent by Australian shareholders took the management methods of Australian TV and put them on Lishi's head, and they didn't want to think about it, can this small place in Hong Kong be compared with Australia?" β
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "This is called a layman to guide an insider, and it won't be messed up." β
"So." McDonald Bear leaned back in the chair, patted Xiao Ruoyuan's shoulder next to him and said, "Brother Xiao and I ran out together." β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, until he took the coffee handed by the waiter and said, "It seems that Mr. Mai and Mr. Xiao want to develop in the film industry." If nothing else, if the two of you are willing to come to our Xuanyuan, I will welcome you immediately. β
"Haha! Thank you, Mr. Lee, but I'm not here. McDonald Bear said heroically: "I have already established a film company by myself, and now that Shaw Brothers is old, my goal is to build my own film kingdom following Sir Shao's." β
"Ahemβ"
When this big talk was blown, Li Xuan choked on coffee and coughed, and hurriedly wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Mr. Mai, what an ideal and a good goal, I will definitely support you." β
"Haha, thank you! Thank you! β
"Mr. Mai asked me out this time?" Li Xuan frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is it for?" β
"Forehead ......"
McDonald Bear was suddenly stunned, then quietly exchanged glances with Xiao Ruoyuan and said, "Our company is going to start filming a movie, but because of lack of funds, we want to ask Mr. Li to co-produce it." β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan suddenly felt that 10,000 divine beasts roared past in his heart, is this guy McDonald Bear funny? One moment he was still saying that he was following Shao Yifu to build his own film kingdom, and the next moment he was saying that he was short of money.
But that's not right!
Li Xuan thought for a while, hesitated and said, "Mr. Mai, aren't you like that?" Xiang Huaqiang of New Ngee An has been very popular in this industry recently. β
"Well, I didn't expect Mr. Li to know this." McDonald Bear smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "In the past two years, the Hong Kong government has beaten Xin Yi'an and He Shenghe, and now we are the only ones left in the three major gangs. So now these bigwigs are more nervous than Xin Yi'an and He Sheng and those bigwigs who were caught in, and they are very low-key one by one, and they don't dare to do this thing of opening a film company to be in the limelight. β
And then McDonald Bear, a poor baby, is short of money to make movies?
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and continued to ask puzzledly: "Mr. Namai, why did you find a contemptible person?" I don't think I'm that attractive. β
"Haha, Mr. Li is honest when he speaks." McDonald Bear laughed and said, "Mr. Li is indeed not our first target, our first target was Zhucheng Pictures. It's just that after all, the one in Zhucheng is a female leader, and I'm afraid that there will be some calculations, so we found Mr. Li first. β
Li Xuan chuckled and shook his head, looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, Mr. Mai is also honest enough." I don't know if the script was brought? Can I take a look first? β
"Here."
After Xiao Ruoyuan listened to Li Xuan's words, he immediately took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to Li Xuan.
""Pretty Girl"? The screenwriter turned out to be ......" Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan suspiciously, and then lowered his head and looked at the script. In recent years, screenwriters who have sold scripts everywhere have gone overseas, and it is not surprising that the scripts written by Wen Wei, a famous person in the Hong Kong film and television industry, are in Xiao Ruoyuan's hands.
Li Xuan asked casually while reading the script: "Mr. Mai, apart from you who left Lishi, who else left?" Ah, by the way, is the producer of Xiao Sheng Xiao still in Lishi? β
"Xiao Sheng......" McDonald Paused and said, "He is also leaving, but he has no intention of changing careers and has gone to TVB." β
"Wireless, that's not bad." Li Xuan nodded slightly.
"Pretty Girl" tells the story of a troubled girl from a broken family, how she slowly fell with a few other friends, and finally parted with life and death. The content of the script is relatively gloomy, but it can be seen that Wen Mao's screenwriting ability is very strong, and the script is written engagingly.
It's just that this kind of film should be the same as Xu Anhua's movie, if you want to invest, you have to be determined to gamble.
Li Xuan slowly closed the script, thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Mai, I don't know how much you want me to invest?" Also, what share of profit can I get? β
"We're only 500,000 short of funding now." McDonald Bear pondered for a moment and continued: "Profit share, you are four and I are six. β
Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, this McDonald's bear is too miserable. At first, he thought it would be one or two million, but he didn't expect it to be an investment of only 500,000 yuan. I said it earlier, I said it earlier that Li Xuan didn't have to bother reading the script, just to have a relationship with 14, the 500,000 yuan was worth it.
Li Xuan pushed the movie script to Xiao Ruoyuan's side, and then stretched out his hand and smiled: "Mr. Mai, Mr. Xiao, happy cooperation!" β
Mai Dangxiong was slightly stunned, and then he also stretched out his hand and shook it back and smiled: "Happy cooperation!" β
(ps: When McDonald Bear first entered the film industry, he really wanted to build a film empire like Shao Yifu, and then ......, and then he went to Zhucheng Pictures to attract investment.) (To be continued.) )
