"Do you want to make a realistic club movie and take the literary route?" Xiang Huaqiang asked rather quietly.

"Realistic themes?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled: "Brother Qiang, you misunderstood, I'm not interested in reality-themed movies now, and that thing doesn't make much money." ”

"...... that?"

Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are heroes everywhere, why do we have to shoot those bosses?" ”

"I seem to understand what you mean, you want to build a civilian hero." Xiang Huaqiang replied abruptly.

Li Xuan nodded without hesitation and responded, "Hmm! ”

"Then why can't we start filming right away? Uh, no, it's not right......" Xiang Huaqiang paused and pondered: "You have a new drama in the first half of the year, can't you start filming in the second half of the year?" Why do you have to wait until after the Sino-British negotiations? ”

Li Xuan smiled and replied: "Now is the critical moment of negotiation, Brother Qiang, do you want to see only two bigwigs fighting back and forth in the movie we made, or is Hong Kong divided into several associations and thousands of people fighting around?" ”

“……”

Xiang Huaqiang listened to Li Xuan's explanation, and was suddenly a little speechless. Before the Sino-British negotiations, the Hong Kong government, in order to directly establish a new image, directly sought out their new Ngee An knife first, and then it was the turn of other gangs. Now at this critical moment, New Ngee An is causing chaos with the Hong Kong government, isn't that directly looking for death?

However, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly noticed a word in Li Xuan's words.

"Thousands?" Xiang Huaqiang asked hesitantly.

"Uh...... "What is this guy thinking?" Li Xuan nodded and replied: "Hundreds, thousands, it's only real to shoot like this, but when the time comes, you will have to rely on Brother Qiang to help find people." ”

"Haha, no problem, it's not everyone's business." Xiang Huaqiang let out a long laugh, patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said, "Listen to what you say." I'm really looking forward to this movie. Hey, I don't know when the Sino-British negotiations will end, and what will become of Hong Kong in the end. ”

Li Xuan was also silent, and only after half a sound did he mutter: "Negotiations, it should be almost over." ”

Repeated negotiations between China and Britain have begun to take shape, and more and more people are beginning to realize that Hong Kong's return to the motherland is irresistible, even many Britons believe that this is so. So now many people want to know what Hong Kong's future policy will be, and even the negotiations between China and the UK have focused on this aspect.

However, Li Xuan knew that Britain would not be able to please that strong old man, and after the Sino-British negotiations, the day when the Hong Kong government would allow Hong Kong's social security to develop on its own was approaching.

After Li Xuan and Xiang Huaqiang talked casually again, they said goodbye and left. But what is quite interesting is that almost everyone now knows the origin of Xiang Huaqiang. So there were very few people who came to greet him. I'm afraid that how to make this big guy unhappy and affect his own film company.

These people who avoided Xiang Huaqiang included Liu Zhenwei and his party.

"Mr. Li, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on the big sale of "God of Gamblers"!" Liu Zhenwei was the only person at the scene who did not raise a glass when talking to Li Xuan. Instead, he arched his hand very well.

"Haha, a big movie is nothing." Li Xuan was still holding his wine glass. But it's also a little lower. continued to smile: "To be a theater, every movie must sell well." For this, I have to thank you Century Pictures. ”

Liu Zhenwei smiled bitterly without a trace and said, "Where, Mr. Li is serious, our movie can be released in Wanda." It is also our honor. ”

Century Pictures took the two films "Twin Brothers" and "Yellow Peril" to Wanda for test screening at the beginning of the year, which is definitely a great thing for Li Xuan, who is actively expanding the source of films. It's just that the performance of these two movies seems to be really average, and whether they make money or lose depends on God's will when they are officially released.

Li Xuan didn't know that Century Pictures had several loss-making movies in the first two years. Now the funds are a bit beyond their means.

"Who is this......?" Li Xuan looked at a sturdy young man next to Liu Zhenwei and asked.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot to introduce you." Liu Zhenwei patted his forehead, pulled the person next to him and said, "I don't know this Mr. Li, but I should have heard his name, he is my partner and right-hand man - Yu Yunkang." ”

Li Xuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly stretched out his right hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Yu, disrespectful and disrespectful!" I like your "Murder List" very much. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Li has won the award." Yu Yunkang smiled and praised back: "Mr. Li's masterpiece "Cursed Grudge", I also like it very much. ”

Forehead......

"The Grudge"? Li Xuan, who heard this, was sweating black. How long ago was this movie, even he almost forgot about it, but he didn't expect someone to bring it up now.

Speaking of Liu Zhenwei's good friends in later generations, everyone's first image is Wang Jiawei. What two people made the script of "Fierce Ghost Mission" in one night, what Wang Jiawei filmed "East Evil and West Poison", and Liu Zhenwei rescued Liu Zhenwei and filmed "East Becomes West", what......

In short, there are countless anecdotes between these two friends.

However, at this time, Liu Zhenwei didn't know any Wang Jiawei, and as for whether the two of them would become good friends in the future, only God knows. Anyway, at this time, Liu Zhenwei's good friend was the young man named Yu Yunkang in front of Li Xuan.

Yu Yunkang, a famous director of Hong Kong's early "New Wave" film period, once passed the wave of Hong Kong with Xu Anhua, Yan Hao, and Xu Ke during the Hong Kong New Wave film period, and was known for shooting horror and thriller ghost movies. And Li Xuan's "Murder List" is one of his masterpieces, and this movie was once hailed as the most terrifying horror film in Hong Kong in later generations.

However, in the past two years, Hong Kong's new wave directors have been lonely, Xu Anhua made such a movie in a year, Xu Ke transformed into a commercial film, and Yan Hao directed a drama. So now Yu Yunkang almost doesn't do much work as a director, and follows Liu Zhenwei as a filmmaker and producer. Almost all the films of Century Pictures in the past two years have been produced and produced by these two guys.

This guy is a talent.

"It's a great honor for "The Grudge" to be praised by Mr. Yu!" Li Xuan nodded and replied.

Yu Yunkang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"Haha, I'm afraid Mr. Li doesn't know." Liu Zhenwei looked at the atmosphere a little cold, and quickly interjected: "Brother Yu has also made a gambling movie before, so there is no need to mention the plot now." But Mr. Li, guess who the actor of that gambling movie is? ”

"Oh? The male lead? ”

Yu Yunkang has filmed gambling films, and now Li Xuan is interested, Liu Zhenwei will definitely not ask questions indiscriminately. The actor of this gambling film must be a person Li Xuan is very familiar with, otherwise this question would be meaningless.

"Gambling ...... The actor ......" Li Xuan frowned, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Mr. Liu, you won't tell me that the actor is a fat boy, right?" ”

"That's right, it's him! Haha-"

Liu Zhenwei laughed and threw out the correct answer, and Li Xuan also felt very funny. It turns out that the current God of Gamblers made a gambling movie a long time ago, but judging from the reputation of Zhou Runfa box office poison in the past, the end of this movie seems to be very bad.

However, Li Xuan is a little interested in this movie.

"Fa Zai's previous gambling films are still Mr. Yu's works, I don't even know that I failed and failed." Li Xuan pretended to shake his head regretfully, and asked again, "Mr. Yu, I don't know what the name of the movie is?" I'm going to find out. ”

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Yu Yunkang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Bad work, how dare you show ugliness in front of "God of Gamblers", forget it, forget it." ”

“……”

Li Xuan was stunned for a while, this guy is still shy now? He's a big director.

However, Liu Zhenwei obviously refused to let go of his good friend, and smiled directly beside him: "Mr. Li, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it, you can ask Mr. Ye, that movie was made by Binbin at that time." The box office is not bad, it sold 1.5 million in 80, and finally didn't let Boss Ye lose money. ”

"1.5 million, it wasn't low at that time." Li Xuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then I really have to ask and watch the so-called 'bad work' in Mr. Yu's own mouth." ”

"Mr. Li——, hey!" Yu Yun sighed and said with a wry smile: "That was the first movie I made, the technique was so clumsy, and now it looks like a primary school student's graffiti, which is an eyesore." Mr. Li still don't watch it, it's not as good as your first work at all. ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan felt a little funny, can the two be compared, but he still straightened his face and said: "Since Mr. Yu doesn't want me to watch it, I'll wait and see first, there will always be a day when Mr. Yu relaxes." ”

"Thank you!" Yu Yunkang also learned from Liu Zhenwei and arched his hand.

"But, Mr. Yu, can I ask you one thing?" Li Xuan suddenly frowned and said.

Yu Yunkang raised his head and replied, "Eh, what's the matter?" ”

"Well, why haven't you been a director for a few years?" (To be continued......)
