"Third brother, I was really sorry just now, I almost stabbed you in a basket!" Yuan Kui looked at the night scene outside the car window and said embarrassedly.

After casually hitting the steering wheel, Hong Jingbao replied: "You, it's not that you don't know the rules of the midnight game, and you lose face on the spot." ”

"Didn't I want to help Brother Da Rong vent his anger, I haven't heard of the director's name, but I didn't expect it to be Ah Jin's friend." Yuan Kui waved his fist and said.

"Hey!" Hong Jingbao sighed: "Da Rong didn't lose unjustly this time, didn't you watch it just now, this movie is very good." ”

The big rong in Hong Jingbao's mouth is called Deng Guangrong, who often plays the big brother in gangster films in the 80s, and has cooperated with Liu Dehua, Zhou Yunfa, and Lin Qingxia. In the early 70s, Deng Guangrong went to Taiwan to develop and establish a reputation, he made more than 60 movies in Taiwan, and Qin Khan and Qin Xianglin were called the "student prince" of "Taiwan's three major literary films". The year before last, he returned to Hong Kong and opened a Tai Rong Film Company to invest in making movies. Later, Wang Jiawei's "Mong Kok Carmen" and "The True Story of A Fei" were invested and filmed by him.

And now, Deng Guangrong has just finished filming a movie called "Family Law", which feels very good. But when it was sent to Golden Harvest, I found that it was preempted by an unknown small company, and the good schedule was gone, can I not be depressed? In addition, this "Family Law" is also the first film starring Ren Dahua, and it ranked 14th in the Hong Kong film box office list in 1979, with a box office of 2.4 million.

"It's good, it scared me several times when I watched it just now, it turns out that ghost movies can still be filmed like this." Yuan Kui touched his chin and said.

Ignoring this sentence, Hong Jingbao glanced at the various bright signboards outside the car and said: "Anyway, you will do less of these things that offend your peers in the future, especially the director." Now we brothers, I and Yuan Ji (Chenglong) are mixed up. What about Yuan Hua, that guy? I don't have any big ambitions, and I've been eating and drinking at Shaw Brothers. I'm just waiting for next month's movie, and if I can get the dart out, my burden will be lighter. Yuanwu and Yuantai have no plans to go to the film and television industry, everyone has their own ambitions, and I am not reluctant. So, I'm most worried about you right now, you don't want to be a martial artist for the rest of your life. ”

"Third brother, I ......" Yuan Kui was cowardly speechless.

Hong Jingbao didn't want to say it too harshly. After all, they are brothers who have grown together, so they changed their words and said: "I just talked to that Li Xuan in the cinema for a long time, I really want to make a ghost movie." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Kui was stunned at this time. You must know that in Hong Kong in the past two years, Hong Jingbao's action movies are the guarantee of the box office, which is more reliable than Chenglong. After all, Hong Jingbao has been popular for many years, and Chenglong just became popular last year.

"Ahh Hong Jingbao replied: "In recent years, comedy kung fu films have been flooded, and last year's Yuan Ji's kung fu films reached their peak. booms and wanes, and it is estimated that this type of movie will not live for a few years. We won't starve to death until we find a way out. ”

"But how do you shoot kung fu and ghosts together?" Yuan Kui knows that kung fu is their foundation, so even if he makes a new type of movie, Hong Jingbao will definitely not fall into this root.

"I don't know, I'll have to think about it." Hong Jingbao stepped on the brakes and stopped the car: "You are here, get out of the car, don't be late for work tomorrow." ”

"Got it, third brother. Mingjian, help me ask my sister-in-law. Yuan Kui opened the car door and jumped down.

Looking at Yuan Kui, who looked like a horse outside the car, Hong Jingbao shook his head and started the car and drove home.

"Damn, fatty, what the hell did you write!" Li Xuan casually threw a script on the coffee table, and a few big words of "Ghost Enjoyment" were revealed.

"What the hell script! I learned from you, fierce spirit, how energetic! The fat man in the kitchen replied loudly.

Evil spirits? Li Xuan was embarrassed. "Ghost Fun" is about a school where some problem students smoke, drink, fight, and cheat with girls in the toilet of the school, and all bad things are carried out in the toilet anyway. Then one day, the ghost in the toilet couldn't stand it anymore and began a series of revenge on the bad students who had done bad things in the toilet and violated the school rules.

This ghost is much more noble than Sister Ga Coconut, persuading people to be kind, what a good educational film!

"Well, it's very exciting." Li Xuan praised against his will, but he knew that this Wang Jing was not very good at making ghost films, but the gambling films and salty and wet films were first-class.

"By the way, what are you doing today? Still in time for dinner? Wang Jin asked again.

"Oh! That's right. Li Xuan hurriedly took out three movie tickets from his pocket and said, "My movie will be released tomorrow, I will send you tickets, I went to buy them myself." ”

Li Xuan bought nearly 20 movie tickets now, Wang Jing's family, Sister Fen's shop, Zhong Xiaoniu's family, and some messy friends he knew, and the tickets were all given away for a day. The midnight response of the movie was good, and Li Xuan is now full of confidence. It was the propaganda slogan that forbade people with heart disease to watch it was laughed at by some tabloids for several days, which made Li Xuan a little depressed.

"Shh Wang Jin suddenly rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula, and whispered with his fingers: "Don't mention the movie, it's troublesome to mention it!" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"My dad ......." Wang Jin pointed to Wang Tianlin's room and said half a sentence, and then his nose suddenly sniffed.

Li Xuan also touched his nose: "Are you frying eggs?" ”

"Damn, I forgot about this, I'll tell you about it later." Li Xuan's reminder startled Wang Jing, and ran into the kitchen with a spatula again.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Tianlin's room strangely, at first he didn't see Wang Tianlin and thought he was not at home, but he didn't expect that he was hiding in the room. Since Li Xuan started making his own movies, he hasn't followed Wang Tianlin around, and when he has time, he will watch some movies and draw a little storyboard script to ask for advice, and I don't know what happened to Wang Tianlin, it is estimated that the matter is not small.

"Dad, it's time to eat!" Wang Jin served the last big bowl of soup, and then shouted towards Wang Tianlin's room while untying his apron.

"Don't eat it, you can eat it!" Wang Tianlin's lonely voice came out of the room.

"Forget it. Ah Jin, let's eat first, don't bother my father-in-law if he's in a bad mood for the past two days. Wang Jin's wife said next to her with a big belly.

"That's fine." Wang Jin thought for a while and said, "Then Xuanzai, let's eat first." ”

Li Xuan couldn't hold back anymore, and before he could take a bite of the bowl, he whispered to Wang Jin, "What's wrong with Uncle Wang?" ”

"What's the matter, my dad hit the street."

"Hit the streets?" Li Xuan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Fatzi cautiously glanced at Wang Tianlin's door, and then said in a quieter voice: "My dad wrote and directed a movie, and then he hit the street." ”

"Movies?" Li Xuan replied in surprise: "Why don't I know? ”

He checked the Shaw Brothers' film schedule in February and March, but there was no Wang Tianlin's film at all.

"Just a few days before you filmed "The Grudge", my dad wrote a script." Wang Jin whispered: "Then Shaw Brothers didn't like it, so my dad found a small company, and as a result, the result was ......"

"How did it turn out?"

"As a result, the big theater line couldn't watch it, so I took it to the small theater, and then it was released the day before yesterday. I heard that ah......" Wang Jin glanced at Wang Tianlin's door again: "I heard that the attendance rate of the movie in the past two days is less than 20%. ”

Less than 20% attendance? It's still a small theater! Li Xuan was surprised, this time Wang Tianlin rushed to the street.

"What kind of movie is it made?" Li Xuan is now curious about this strange movie by a big director.

After a busy bite of food, Wang Fatzi replied: "I don't know, I only know that the name is "Da Dou Da". ”

"You haven't been there?"

"Originally, I wanted to go today, but my dad said that whoever went to see and broke someone's leg."

Li Xuan sweated for a moment, this old man probably can't afford to lose this person. This group of great directors in the fifties and sixties are now almost all street goods.

"Don't say it, don't say it, eat!" Wang Jin said a little boredly.

"Uh......, that's right!" Li Xuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out the three movie tickets and said, "The tickets haven't been given to you yet, take them!" ”

Wang Jin didn't answer, and was still picking up rice.

"Why not?" Li Xuan was a little angry, how could he not give face at this premiere.

Wang Jin glanced at Li Xuan: "I can't watch it more than five times, I really can't stand it." Then you look again, who else in our family can go and see besides me? ”

"Huh!" Li Xuan looked at Wang Jin's wife, who was eating with an innocent expression.

She can't! As for the big-bellied woman, if she was scared out, she would be one corpse and two lives, and he couldn't afford to provoke him.

What about Wang Tianlin and Wang Lao? What's more, you guy ran to show off in front of a street, aren't you looking for death?

Li Xuan suddenly found that these three tickets could not be delivered.

(Note: The penultimate film directed by Wang Tianlin in "Da Dou Da", the plot is not examinable.) hit the streets, ranking 63rd in the box office list in 79. After several consecutive fights, Wang Tianlin quit the film director's career, specializing in TV series, and only worked as a film producer from time to time. ）
