In Lin Xi's impression, although Cheng Long in the original version of "Five Lucky Stars" was a cameo performance, it also created the most exciting action scene in the whole film, the policeman he played wore roller skates and chased two robbers who fled by car on the highway, first grabbed the back window of a speeding car with one hand, and when a sixteen-wheeled truck drove by, he slid from the speeding truck to the other side of the road, and lay down to let a car from behind him cross his body, and then jumped, Got on a motorcycle coming from behind, chased the gangsters and forced them to stop with a gun.

As a result of this pursuit, more than 50 cars collided and piled up together, and the various car crashes and overturns alone are often more than two minutes, which can be called a big deal in an action movie in the early eighties.

Lin Xi asked Hong Jinbao carefully, and after making sure that there was no paragraph in the script, he added it on the spot.

In this way, the film also has a big scene, and at the same time, it also gives Cheng Long enough face.

Of course, Hong Jinbao would not object to Lin Xi's opinions, not to mention that this construction was also very beneficial to him.

To be honest, if the movie made by 15 million does not have a big scene, Hong Jinbao will also have some difficulty explaining to Pan Disheng.

After getting Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao then offered to borrow another person from Lin Xi.

※★

"I want to ask Miss Zhong to be the heroine of this play."

Hong Jinbao said this directly to Zhong Chuhong, but Zhong Chuhong did not reply immediately, but looked at Lin Xi with his eyes.

"You just finished filming "The Frog Prince", are you sure you don't need to take a break?"

Lin Xi leaned forward and leaned into Zhong Chuhong's ear and whispered.

Zhong Chuhong shook his head. Hong Jinbao invited him in person, and if he refused, it would be too faceless.

Lin Xi took into account that Zhong Chuhong and Hong Jinbao had already worked together once in "Scary". Although "Baby Project" did not cooperate directly, it was also in the same crew. They are very familiar with each other, and it shouldn't be a big problem to work together again, so they nodded and agreed.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Hong Jinbao happily raised his glass and said, "Then thank you Mr. Lin!" ”

Lin Xi and Hong Jinbao clinked glasses, and when they were about to drink, they caught a glimpse of Zhou Yanfa sitting on the side out of the corner of their eyes, and their hearts suddenly moved.

"By the way, Sanmao, you have five male protagonists in this play. Remove your own role, who are you going to play the remaining four roles? ”

Hong Jinbao saw that Lin Xi was so interested in this movie, so he was naturally happy to introduce more information.

"Originally, according to Mr. Pan's meaning, these roles have to find some famous actors to play, but Ah Long is willing to come over to make a cameo, I think the lineup is enough, and I don't have to find those very famous actors. It's a bit of trouble with Curly Hair and Vaseline, I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for the time being, Vaseline wants to find Qin Xianglin from Taiwan to play, but he hasn't given me an answer yet. But I think it's going to be soon, and there will be news in the next day or two. ”

"Curly ...... What do you think of letting Shum Jianxun play it? ”

Hong Jinbao was obviously stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to say that Cen Jianxun was the general manager of Oriental Cinema Line. Isn't it a bit unprofessional to come to acting, but I think about the people who are making movies in Hong Kong now. Which one is not wearing many hats, take himself as an example. is not still a director, actor, producer, and martial arts instructor.

Lin Xi wants Cen Jianxun to play this role, and it is estimated that he also wants to let this subordinate who has no intersection with the film industry before have more contact with this aspect of things, so as to increase his experience and knowledge.

If this speculation is true, then Lin Xi's attention to Cen Jianxun Cheng Dù really has nothing to say.

Thinking of the image of Cen Jianxun's lion head, Hong Jinbao suddenly felt as if this role was tailor-made for him.

Whether it is out of affection, but out of consideration for the image of the character, Hong Jinbao has no reason to refuse.

"If Manager Cen is willing, of course my side is very welcome."

"Then only Vaseline remains!" Lin Xi pondered for a moment with his wine glass, "If Qin Xianglin doesn't agree, have you considered replacing it with someone else?" ”

Hong Jinbao didn't think much about it, and replied truthfully: "This role is mainly considered to take care of some female audiences, and the five male protagonists must always have a handsome young man to support the scene, so I want to find Qin Xianglin." ”

"Qin Xianglin is suitable, but he is in Taiwan, but he is a little reluctant to ask him to act." Lin Xi said meaninglessly.

Hong Jinbao didn't understand the gist of this sentence, poured himself a glass of wine and began to complain to Lin Xi.

"Actually, I don't want to be so troublesome, but the Hong Kong side meets the requirements, either there is no schedule, or I shake my head immediately when I hear that it is a comedy role, and I really can't find anyone here, so I decided to find a Taiwanese actor to play it."

"Is there really no one? I don't think so. ”

Lin Xi said quietly.

Hong Jinbao finally came back to his senses at this time, knowing that Lin Xi might have other thoughts about this role, so he asked patiently: "So Mr. Lin has a better candidate to recommend?" ”

"I think Fa Ge is quite suitable." Such a sentence came out of Lin Xi's mouth, and everyone else present was stunned at once.

Hong Jinbao didn't expect Lin Xi to pull Zhou Yanfa in, and when his mind turned this corner, he suddenly complained in his heart.

Zhou Yan found that he was called "poison hair", and he lost money when he made several movies in succession, although Hong Jinbao was not a superstitious person, but he didn't want to be infected with the bad luck of Zhou Runfa.

Zhou Runfa over there was also very surprised, Hong Jinbao was talking to Lin Xi about making a movie over there, he didn't think that he would have anything to do with this movie, and he didn't expect that Lin Xi had just persuaded him to put down his body to act in a comedy, and then recommended him to Hong Jinbao.

Both sides were not prepared, let alone how to answer Lin Xi, so they were all stunned.

"I know all the concerns in your hearts, regardless of these issues, just say whether this role is suitable or not, I don't think there will be any disagreement between everyone, right?"

After Lin Xi said this, Hong Jinbao was silent for a moment before nodding.

If it weren't for the influence of Zhou Yanfa's recent reputation, he would indeed be more suitable for this role than Qin Xianglin.

Zhou Yunfa hesitated for a moment, and nodded as well.

Now that he has promised Lin Xi and is willing to try a comedy role, of course he can't go back on his word now.

Seeing that neither of them objected, Lin Xi then asked another question.

"What do you think of my vision?"

"I don't dare to say the big place, but in the Hong Kong film industry, Mr. Lin calls himself the second, and I dare to call it the first to no one." Hong Jinbao replied without mincing words.

Zhou Yunfa also nodded in agreement.

Compared with Hong Jinbaolai, Zhou Yanfa understood this problem earlier, before the release of "Shanghai Tang", Lin Xi dared to bet that this TV series would be a big hit, and no one could match this vision alone.

"Since everyone can trust me, then I'm not humble anymore."

His gaze swept over the faces of Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yanfa, and Lin Xi slowly spoke.

"Sanmao, I can tell you now with certainty that the box office of the movie "Five Lucky Stars" is definitely worth looking forward to; And on your side, Brother Fa, I can also tell you clearly that the difficulties you are encountering now are only temporary, and you will definitely become popular in the future...... If you two don't believe it, we can make a bet! ”

Lin Xi's words immediately made Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yan interested, and they all wanted to know what kind of gambling Lin Xi was going to make.

"Bet on the box office of "Five Lucky Stars", Fa Ge plays Vaseline, and the other actors remain the same, if the box office of this movie is less than 30 million, I owe each of you a favor, and there will always be a way to repay it in the future; If the box office of this movie is higher than 30 million, then Sanmao, you will have to run three tricks in my movie unconditionally in the future, and it will be easier for you to join Oriental Film and Television Company unconditionally...... How's that fair, isn't that a fair bet? ”

Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yanfa glanced at each other, and both of them were full of emotion in their hearts.

Hong Jinbao sighed that Lin Xi was willing to spend so much trouble to arrange a role for him for Zhou Runfa.

In fact, as long as Lin Xi speaks, even if it is due to the bad reputation of "poison", Hong Jinbao will not refuse, but Lin Xi did not do this, but used a way that made Hong Jinbao have enough face and was more acceptable, which made Hong Jinbao very useful.

And Zhou Yunfa was more moved at the moment, he knew very well that Lin Xi was willing to help him at this time, and this favor was not something he could pay off by joining Oriental Film and Television Company.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but they had no objections to the gambling contract proposed by Lin Xi.

"Mr. Zhou, everyone will be their own people in the future, if there is anything offended just now, please don't be surprised!"

Hong Jinbao stood up with a wine glass.

His attitude changed so quickly, on the one hand, because of Lin Xi's face, and on the other hand, because of more realistic considerations.

In Hong Jinbao's view, since even Lin Xi is optimistic about Zhou Yanfa's future development, of course he must have a good relationship with the other party in advance.

Zhou Yanfa also stood up with a wine glass and said some kind words.

After a glass of wine, the relationship between the two suddenly became a lot.

After a few more drinks, the pager on Hong Jinbao's waist rang.

Hong Jinbao looked at the number on it, went out to call back, and looked angry when he came back.

"This Qin Xianglin, I didn't know how to tell him about it, but he was good, he actually asked me to ask Lin Qingxia to be the heroine of this play first, and then he was willing to act, he deserved not to get this role!"

Hong Jinbao deliberately said this loudly, which was equivalent to completely expressing his attitude to Lin Xi and Zhou Yanfa. (To be continued......)
