Chapter 315 "God of Gamblers" is finished
It's very different from Taipei!
Wang Yuxian quietly looked at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, and sighed at what happened to him. She was originally a student at Guoguang Art School, and she just starred in a movie "This Year's Lakeside Will Be Cold". didn't expect this movie to be shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards, and then she made a stunning appearance in it and was found by the people of Shaw Brothers.
Now everyone in Taiwan knows that Hong Kong movies are better than Taiwan, and Fang Yihua, the helmsman of Shaw Brothers, personally found her, so after thinking about it, Wang Yuxian nodded without hesitation and came to this strange land.
She only hopes that she can find a new world of her own here.
Compared with Wang Yuxian's silent longing, Fang Yihua, who understood that the Shaw Brothers had been twilight, was secretly anxious in his heart. The Shaw Brothers' blockbuster studio system is increasingly unable to keep up with the times, and the death of Shaw Renmei has made Shaw Brothers even worse. Compared with Ru Shao Yifu, she knows his two sons better. is just to prevent her from being a 'stepmother', those two guys will definitely toss the theater together.
Nanyang's Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is in danger!
As Shao Yifu gets older and older, Fang Yihua, who is not yet famous, is becoming more and more insecure, so she will be caught tightly as soon as something comes to her. For example, Shaw Yifu has long asked her to delinquish power, such as TVB, and Huaxing Records.
It seems that only by grasping these undertakings and rights in her hands can she feel a little more at ease.
"Lao Liang, go to Clear Water Bay first."
Fang Yihua looked at the buildings on the side of the road, and suddenly said a word to the driver, and then looked at Wang Yuxian and said, "Ah Xian, it's late today, let's go and arrange your accommodation first, and then take you around Hong Kong tomorrow." There is a special staff dormitory on the Shaw Brothers' side, and the great director Zhang Ce Chuyuan and they all live there, you can also meet them. ”
"Well, thank you, Aunt Fang." Wang Yuxian chuckled and nodded in response.
Fang Yihua nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you." Our Ah Xian is a big star in the future, and it's too late for me to stammer. ”
In the sound of peaceful conversation, Shao Yifu's 'No. 6' car slowly drove towards Clear Water Bay.
"Brother Sanmao, do you want to buy the copyright of 'Wufuxing'?" Li Xuan frowned and continued: "To be honest, although the price of 'Five Lucky Stars' is not as expensive as 'Police Story', it is not cheap, and you should also know that I relied on this movie to the series from the beginning. ”
Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying glanced at each other, then looked at Li Xuan and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I didn't think about buying the copyright, and there are still a lot of people who rely on me to eat." Tens of millions of them are really unaffordable. ”
"Then Brother Sanmao, what are you going to ......," Li Xuan asked hesitantly.
Hong Jingbao sat up straight. asked, "Could it be that your 'Five Lucky Stars' series is placed there?" Won't make a sequel? ”
“……”
To be honest, since Li Xuan himself built a theater, he really threw the 'Five Lucky Stars' series aside. After all, if he makes a sequel later, it will definitely be difficult to invite Hong Jingbao to come over to participate. Anyway, there are so many blockbuster movies in later generations, why did Li Xuan hang himself on a tree.
But think about it. Tens of millions of profits are thrown aside, but it is a little reluctant.
After being silent for a while, Li Xuan asked hesitantly, "What does Brother Sanmao mean, are you coming over to help me make a movie?" ”
"Hmm!"
To Li Xuan's surprise, Hong Jingbao nodded without hesitation and continued: "This series has been shelved for more than a year, and if you don't come up with any more materials, the name of the previous one will be invalidated, I don't think this is what you want to see, Ah Xuan." ”
Li Xuan nodded rarely. said in a low voice: "Yes, it's indeed a bit of a waste, but Brother Sanmao, you want to come over to make a movie, what should I do on Mr. Zou's side?" ”
"It's okay, I'll talk to Mr. Zou. It's not a big deal to come out and pick up a play. Hong Jingbao patted his chest and said.
In fact, he doesn't need to say it at all, Zou Wenhuai likes to speak with righteousness.
The result is that Hong Jingbao and Chenglong, the two aces of Jiahe, have not really signed a contract now, and they all have to be supported by the righteousness between several people. For example, Hong Jingbao only signed a one-year contract when he first entered Golden Harvest, and now he is a real free body. Otherwise, how could he run to Yongjia to direct and act, and in the end, Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to pinch his nose and endure it.
"Okay, let's continue to make a sequel, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Li Xuan replied with a smile.
Hong Jingbao also looked happy, raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Happy cooperation, cheers!" ”
"Bang-"
The three wine glasses touched together, and after Li Xuan took a sip of wine, he said thoughtfully: "However, Brother Sanmao, I won't be the director of 'Five Lucky Stars' this time." ”
"Forehead......" Hong Jingbao was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Then who do you want to be the director?" ”
Li Xuan glanced at Hong Jingbao and said with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, how about you become a director?" ”
"Me?"
"Yes, Brother Sanmao, your directing skills are not weak." Li Xuan said confidently: "And you are so interested in the 'Five Lucky Stars' series, I think it is best for you to be the director of this movie." ”
How is this Li Xuan the same as Chen Xunqi? Hong Jingbao smiled bitterly, he let himself direct and act, but Chen Xunqi asked him for help, and now he is looking for Li Xuan for help.
As for directing anything, this is a trivial matter for Hong Kyung-bo.
"Okay, I'll direct it, but Ah Xuan, you have to get the script out quickly." After Hong Jingbao figured it out, he replied loudly.
Li Xuan laughed and said, "Brother Sanmao, don't worry, as long as you put up the shelf of the crew, the script will definitely not be missing from you." ”
After some conversation, both sides enjoyed themselves. Li Xuan makes money, Hong Jingbao makes money and makes fame, as for what Jiahe, who has been dug into a small corner, what does it think, this is what Zou Wenhuai should be concerned about.
Due to Li Xuan's rush to shoot regardless of the cost, the filming progress of "God of Gamblers" was very fast. It only took more than a week after the Golden Horse Awards came back, and the movie had already filmed its last scene. But one thing is quite interesting, because Xiang Huaqiang participated in the filming, he also got the script, and several screenwriters under him often came to the crew to learn from him.
It seems that soon after the release of "God of Gamblers", there should be one or two follow-up films.
The last gambling battle of "God of Gamblers", of course, it is impossible to really run to shoot on the gambling wheel. The crew only spent money to run on a passenger ship to take one or two exterior scenes, and then cut them together with the indoor gambling scenes.
"The 37th scene of "God of Gamblers" was filmed 2 times!"
"Smack!"
"Ayi, I want to really thank you this time, if it weren't for you......" Zhou Yanfa held Huang Qiusheng's shoulder. Turning his head to the camera and smiling: "I can't win this old fox, he still thinks that thousands of off-court bets were bought by that Indonesian, hahaha!" ”
Zhou Yanfa hugged Huang Qiusheng with a burst of laughter, but Huang Qiusheng did not smile at this time, but had a worried expression on his face, and played a treacherous villain vividly.
"Click, it's over, you two continue to hold on, don't let go, continue the next one!"
"God of Gamblers' 38th scene 1 shooting!"
"Smack!"
"Don't shoot!"
Zhou Yanfa shouted, and grabbed Huang Qiusheng's right hand. And in that hand was holding a silver-gray toy gun. After shouting, Zhou Yanfa immediately stepped aside. Huang Qiusheng looked at the gun in his hand in amazement, and then pressed the explosion switch hidden in the palm of his left hand.
"Bang-"
After a soft sound, a blood flower burst out of Huang Qiusheng's chest, and he glanced at the gun in his hand in 'pain'. sideways pointed to Zhou Yanfa who was standing outside the camera.
"Click, it's over, next one."
“……”
"Click, it's over."
“……”
"Click, do it again!"
“……”
"Click, it's over, I announce that "God of Gamblers" is finished!"
“……”
"Oh yes, it's finally done!"
"It's done. Eat the finale feast. ”
"Boss, I'm tired of having a treat for a month,"
“……”
As soon as Li Xuan's finale slogan came out, the scene was suddenly jubilant, even Liu Dehua, who was exhausted from filming. They all hugged the others and jumped up and down. The exhausting work of nearly a month is finally coming to an end, and he can finally take a rest.
Xiang Huaqiang smiled and said to Kang Jianfei: "Ah Xuan, don't say it, you just don't be a director, you are first-class as a screenwriter, several dramas are unexpected, and they are big sellers at first glance." ”
"Hehe, the screenwriter is too poor, I don't want to do it." Li Xuan waved his hand and said a word, then glanced at Huang Yuetai, who was holding a camera next to him, and Zhou Xingchi, who was helping others, and then beckoned: "Yuetai, Xingzai, you two come here." ”
"Brother Xuan, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Li, is there anything you can help with?"
Li Xuan glanced at the two of them, then took out a few pages and handed them to Huang Yuetai and said: "Although "God of Gamblers" has been completed, the business of the two of you is not over yet, Yuetai, you take Ah Xing to Kowloon Station tomorrow." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Huang Yuetai was a little confused, what was he doing at Kowloon Station? Don't think that Kowloon Station is simply a bus station, it is an authentic railway station connecting to the mainland.
Huang Yuetai hurriedly opened his hand, and then asked in amazement: "This is a storyboard script?" ”
"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and continued: "Tomorrow Ah Xing will be the protagonist, and you will find a random person to play a supporting role, and then shoot this scene for me." ”
"Huh? Play? Zhou Xingchi, who was next to him, suddenly felt his eyes light up, and hurriedly poked his head in front of the storyboard and asked, "Is this my play?" ”
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be complacent, this scene will only be filmed for about two minutes, so the two of you will shoot me seriously." ”
"Hmmm! Well! ”
Zhou Xingchi, who had always been eager to stand alone, suddenly nodded busily and agreed, but Huang Yuetai didn't feel very good, so he said with a bitter face: "But, Brother Xuan, I don't know how to direct,"
"Stupid!"
Li Xuan scolded with some hatred: "You have been following me for several years, haven't you learned a little?" And I've drawn all the storyboard scripts for you, if you can't shoot them again, don't even be a cameraman. ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh Li Xuan said hatefully: "Forget it, give you two days, you two guys will take a good picture of it for me, otherwise I will let you clean the toilet the day after tomorrow, do you hear it." ”
“……”
Seeing Zhou Xingchi, who was excited, and Huang Yuetai, who was depressed, turned around and left, Li Xuan shook his head and sighed secretly, Huang Yuetai, this guy, why didn't he pursue it at all.
"Ah Xuan, what are you doing here? Waste of film? Xiang Huaqiang, who had been silently beside him, asked strangely.
"Haha, it's not a waste of film." Li Xuan also knew everything, and replied directly: "I'm not going to make a series of movies with the word 'betting', and now I'm going to bury easter eggs." ”
Xiang Huaqiang has been working on movies for so long, but he knows what an 'easter egg' is, looking at the background of Zhou Xingchi's departure, he asked curiously: "So, Brother Xuan is going to hold this, what is Ah Xing's." ”
"Well, this guy is good, a good seedling for acting in movies." Li Xuan nodded in response.
"Oh-"
Xiang Huaqiang listened to Li Xuan's words and nodded thoughtfully.
