Chapter 208: Between Going and Staying

Faced with Lin Xi's open and honest statement, Yuan Heping knew that he could no longer refuse.

On the other hand, Yuan Heping was also curious why Lin Xi had to "tie" him and Cheng Xiaodong together, you must know that the status of martial arts instructor in martial arts films is not lost too much to the director, if he and Cheng Xiaodong can't get along, this scene will definitely not be able to continue filming, isn't Lin Xi worried about this situation at all?

Thinking of this, Yuan Heping couldn't help but glance curiously at Cheng Xiaodong, who was sitting opposite, but found that he was sitting there with his eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth, as if he was not affected by this incident at all.

Could it be that he thought of Lin Xi's intentions wrongly, and he stuffed himself to Cheng Xiaodong, not so that the two could contain each other, but to work together to make a better movie?

This thought flashed in Yuan Heping's heart, Lin Xi was still waiting for him to reply, he didn't have the time to think about these things carefully at this time.

"Mr. Lin has said so, then I dare to disobey my fate!"

Yuan Heping gave up his hand to Lin Xi, which was regarded as a formal agreement to this matter.

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Cheng Xiaodong had already stood up from his seat.

"Please take care of Mr. Yuan in the future!"

Although Lin Xi appointed him to be the director, Cheng Xiaodong still lowered his posture and humbly learned from Yuan Heping.

"Mr. Cheng is too polite, I should have told you what I said."

Yuan Heping didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly returned the gift.

Seeing that the two of them are humble and polite to each other like this, harmony is harmony, but it has no practical meaning at all. Hong Jinbao couldn't help but interject and said, "You two are capable people, so don't be modest here." Is there anything to say slowly? ”

was interrupted by Hong Jinbao like this, and Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong were embarrassed to be so polite again. After each glanced at each other, he sat down again.

"Sanmao is right, what you have to do later is to increase your understanding, because Li Lianjie's side will not be able to completely handle the immigration until early next year, so the new Huang Feihong movie will have at least two or three months to go, during which I will write the script well, I hope the two can work together to come up with a work that makes everyone's eyes shine!"

Lin Xi's words brought the discussion of this matter to a successful end, and then he talked about a few matters that were related to everyone present. This was then declared the end of the meeting.

Cheng Long walked out of the conference room with his arm around Cheng Xiaodong's shoulders, originally made an appointment to celebrate together in the evening, but Yuan Heping chased him out of the conference room.

"Aaron, let me have this meal today! After all, Director Cheng and I are going to work together soon, and we should always get to know each other better, right? ”

Yuan Heping opened his mouth, and Cheng Long couldn't refute his face.

"Then I'll give it to Director Yuan today, and Director Cheng and I will make an appointment another day!"

Seeing Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong leave with a smile and a smile, Cheng Long sighed slightly. was about to wait for Hong Jinbao to come out and go together, but he glanced back at the conference room, but saw that Hong Jinbao was still sitting in his position, looking not in a hurry to leave. It is estimated that he has something to say to Lin Xi alone.

Cheng Long felt bored and was about to leave when the pager hanging on his waist suddenly rang.

Look at the number on the pager. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, and he left in a hurry.

in the conference room. Hong Jinbao glanced at Cheng Long's departing back, turned his head and looked at Lin Xi worriedly and said, "Mr. Lin." I know you value Li Lianjie very much, in order to ensure that the new version of Huang Feihong is foolproof, so you sent both Big Eyes and Director Cheng, but will this be a bit of a waste? After all, Big Eyes and Director Cheng are both martial artists, and if they can do this, everyone must have their own set of opinions on action design, and if they can't walk together, it is easy to have problems in shooting. ”

"I put the two of them together, mainly to make them complement each other's advantages, when it comes to this issue, I have to mention the action design style of these two people, Cheng Xiaodong I have worked with him twice before, he belongs to the kind of person who is better at grasping the overall situation and has a very good set of scenes for shooting big scenes; Although I haven't worked directly with Yuan Heping, watching several movies he has made, including "Drunken Fist" starring Ah Long, it is not difficult to see that he is good at detail design, and some actions are handled very well, but it will be a little scattered when put into the entire large movie framework...... The controversy faced by the new version of "Once Upon a Time" will inevitably not be small, so of course good steel must be used on the blade. ”

Lin Xi's explanation confirmed Hong Jinbao's guess from the side, and he was really interested in the new version of "Huang Feihong".

Hong Jinbao sighed that Yuan Heping was really lucky this time, but he couldn't help but worry that as more and more talents gathered around Lin Xi, his status in Lin Xi's mind would probably become less and less important.

Although Debao Company is now the most important partner of Oriental Film and Television, he knows his own family affairs, Hong Jinbao knows very well that Pan Disheng's investment in movies is just a ticket nature, not to mention that he is more betting on Lin Xi, and investing in Debao Company is just a incidental move, if he has not had any good results, it is estimated that soon this company will be abandoned by Lin Xi and Pan Disheng.

And now Hong Jinbao can have high hopes in his hands, of course, is the "Five Lucky Stars" he is filming, although Lin Xi is also very optimistic about this movie, but there is obviously a gap between Cheng DΓΉ and the new version of "Huang Feihong".

This can be seen from Lin Xi's use of a combination of "Yuan Heping + Cheng Xiaodong" to shoot the new version of "Huang Feihong", but he threw Zhou Yunfa to himself to shoot "Five Lucky Stars".

On the one hand, there are two action movie directors with great prospects, and on the other hand, they are down-and-out actors who are called "box office poison", and it is strange that Hong Jinbao can balance it in his heart!

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Hong Jinbao told Lin Xi vaguely about the grievances in his heart, not to mention that he could make Lin Xi change his mind, at least he could add a little sympathy to himself.

Of course, Hong Jinbao said very carefully, he didn't say what he thought, but just mentioned it to Lin Xi a little, two days ago, the news of Zhou Runfa's participation in "Five Lucky Stars" was accidentally leaked out, and the media knew that the newspapers and magazines were talking about it in the past two days, and they were all not very good.

While speaking, Hong Jinbao was observing Lin Xi's expression, and when he saw him frowning slightly, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

After finishing, Lin Xi suddenly asked.

"Brother Fa knows all these things?"

Hong Jinbao shrugged helplessly, how could Zhou Yanfa not know about the things that had already been reported?

Lin Xi nodded, already having some calculations in his heart.

"He's been in the crew for a while, do you think you can afford to lose if you replace him now?"

Hong Jinbao was stunned when he heard this, and obviously felt that this style of painting was wrong.

He said this matter, just to win more support from Lin Xi, but he didn't expect Lin Xi's attitude to change a hundred and eighty degrees, and directly proposed to replace Zhou Yanfa, which was not the result that Hong Jinbao wanted.

"Mr. Lin, you may have misunderstood what I meant...... Fa Tsai is very good in the crew, even if he says some ugly things in the newspaper these days, he still tries to do his best when filming, I just feel wronged for him, I really don't have any opinions about him. ”

Hong Jinbao hurriedly explained.

Lin Xi saw Hong Jinbao's reaction in his eyes, and just shook his head with a smile.

"Sanmao, I believe that what you just said is sincere, but if you really just feel wronged for Fa Ge and don't feel wronged, you won't say what you just said in front of me."

was pierced by Lin Xi's words, and Hong Jinbao's expression froze suddenly.

His mouth moved and he was about to explain, but Lin Xi took the lead.

"I didn't think about this matter thoroughly, and I thought that by vouching for my own eyes, I could completely dispel your concerns, but the truth told me that I thought things were too simple. At the beginning, you agreed to this because you were righteous enough, not because you believed in me enough, since this is the case, then I can't be without any burden, for this matter, I think there can be two solutions, one is to let Fa Ge quit the crew now, I will do the work on his side, and I will be responsible for compensating for the losses on your side......"

Before Lin Xi finished speaking, Hong Jinbao's head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed to do so.

He is not stupid, he knows that if he really kicks Zhou Yunfa out of the crew and takes Lin Xi's compensation, then his close cooperation with Lin Xi will be completely over.

"If that's the case, there's another way." Lin Xi pursed his lips, obviously not surprised by this result, "Fa Ge continues to stay in the crew, which is tantamount to letting you take the risk alone, as a friend, it shouldn't be like this, so I decided to invest in a movie starring Fa Ge myself, so that if there is any loss, everyone will lose together, and you will share the blessings and hardships, so you should have no worries." ”

After hearing this, Hong Jinbao couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky, he was now 100% sure that Lin Xi's first solution was just to test his response, as long as he had to hesitate more just now, it was estimated that what he was waiting for now would not be such a result.

But even so, Hong Jinbao still can't accept it, or can't accept it immediately.

"With Mr. Lin's sentence that he regards me as a friend, I think it's enough, the lineup of the drama "Five Lucky Stars" remains unchanged, and others can say whatever they like, even if it is a real loss in the end, I will bear it alone."

It's a pity that the resounding answer did not affect Lin Xi's decision.

"Originally, this movie was in my plan, but now it's just a little bit ahead, the male protagonist is tentatively scheduled for Fa Ge and Ah Long, I have already thought about this matter, Sanmao, you don't need to persuade anymore." (To be continued......) R1292
