"Mr. Lin, I didn't reveal a word this time, I was so angry that Mai turned his face on the spot, and he left without even paying the bill!"

Hong Jinbao proudly described the situation to Lin Xi, and his voice was so loud that he could even hear it outside the door.

Lin Xi leaned back on the chair, but what he was thinking about was the situation of Xinyicheng and Jiahe competing to win over Hong Jinbao. “

Or what I told Brother Hong last time, Princess Jin can be relied on for a while, but it is not the object of long-term cooperation, I think after this time, whether it is Golden Harvest or Golden Princess, the chips to win you over will increase, Golden Harvest wants to suppress Princess Jin, and will not let Xinyicheng pull you over again, so the final conditions should be good. ”

After hearing this, Hong Jinbao clenched his fists and arched his hand to Lin Xi>

"This time it is really thanks to Mr. Lin's help, the main purpose of my coming today is also to thank Mr. Lin, last time our senior brother's promise is still valid, Mr. Lin, whenever there is a need, we will obey the dispatch at any time."

As long as Lin Xi does not reveal his identity for a day, Sammo Hung will have more bargaining chips to bargain with Golden Harvest and New Art City, so this thank you is indeed sincere.

Lin Xi didn't say anything, just glanced at the check for 10 million sent by Hong Jinbao this time.

The total box office of the three films "Ghost Fights Ghost", "People Scary", and "People Scary Ghosts" reported 42oo yuan, according to the previous account sharing ratio, Hong Jinbao received a total of 17oo yuan, and according to the previous investment ratio. He only needed to give Lin Xi 85o yuan, but in the end, he still made the decision to share Lin Xi's 15o million more.

This is Hong Jinbao's real return to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi put away the check, and then asked about Hong Jinbao's next step.

"After filming "Ghost Fights Ghost", "People Scary", and "People Scary Ghosts" this time, everyone has accumulated some experience, and the next step may be to continue filming this series."

Hong Jinbao has nothing to hide from Lin Xi. Said truthfully.

"Brother Hong wants to hear my advice?"

Hong Jinbao was waiting for Lin Xi's words, and immediately nodded his head to express his willingness.

Lin Xi picked up the water cup and stood up, walked to the water dispenser to refill a glass of water for himself, and after sitting back, he looked at Hong Jinbao and said, "Brother Hong knows why I insisted on filming three films in one go?" ”

"Because the three films were released together at about the same time, they can drive each other's box office growth, which is what I admire about Mr. Lin. If it were me, I might not have thought of such a solution. ”

Hong Jinbao said and gave Lin Xi another high hat.

Lin Xi accepted it calmly.

"Actually, Brother Hong, you are only half right, and the other half is that I am not very optimistic about the future market prospects of psychedelic kung fu films!"

As soon as these words came out, Hong Jinbao was stunned.

"This. This ......"

Lin Xi took a sip of water, put down the cup and continued: "Actually, there is a ready-made evidence in front of everyone, but you haven't noticed it yet, Brother Hong. "Ghost Fights Ghost", "People Are Scary", "People Scary Ghosts", the best result is the second part, and the worst result is the third part, which already shows that the audience's acceptance of this type of movie has begun to decline again, and if it is a better and better market, the box office of the three movies should increase in turn. Of course, I know that the second "Scary" was made by bringing together all the horses of Brother Hong, and the quality is higher than the other two. But this can only explain the reason why the second part did the best, but it can't explain that the third part is not as good at the box office as the first, which in my opinion is a harbinger of the deterioration of the market. ”

Hong Jinbao was silent for a while after listening, and then couldn't help asking, "Did Mr. Lin anticipate this situation before?" ”

Lin Xi did not deny this.

"To put it bluntly, these three movies can win such a high box office, mainly because no other movie has played like this before. We did this to make the audience feel very fresh, but the movie was made by you, Brother Hong. You should be aware that many of the means in it are actually taken from the word 'skill'. To put it bluntly, there is no technical content, once or twice, the audience may still buy it, but after watching too much, there is no freshness, and no one wants to watch such a movie anymore, including the three films I built at the beginning, in fact, they are all a bit solid and fishy, but there is no way, this kind of small and big movie tempts other companies. The confusion is too great, we don't shoot others and shoot in front of us, so of course we have to make all the money we should make when we make the most money, so that it is in our interests. ”

Hong Jinbao nodded seriously, seemingly accepting Lin Xi's statement.

Lin Xi sighed softly: "The way of kung fu and ghost movies will definitely not work, of course, Brother Hong, you can also change your thinking and replace ghosts with others, such as zombies or something, it is estimated that there will be a new world and pattern." ”

When Hong Jinbao heard this, he was secretly surprised in his heart, in fact, he did have such an idea after discussing it with Lin Zhengying and others, but they didn't have much confidence in the zombies in local folklore, and they planned to borrow the "vampire zombies" that were popular in Europe and the United States in the 7o years to attract the audience's attention, but in the end, after some research, he gave up, because he felt that the idea of Western vampire zombies could not be well integrated with psychedelic kung fu movies.

Of course, another reason is that in 1974, Shaw Brothers spent a huge amount of money with a British company to co-produce a collection of Western vampire zombies and the legend of "Xiangxi Chasing Corpses" "Seven Golden Corpses", which attracted a lot of attention at the time, but unfortunately due to the strange style of the film and mixed content, the audience could not accept it, and finally ended up with a box office fiasco.

Since then, the Hong Kong film industry has listed the zombie theme as a taboo, and few people dare to try this again.

Lin Xi didn't tell Hong Jinbao directly, zombie films will definitely shine in the future, some topics will stop at the point, and more exploration still depends on Hong Jinbao and them to complete it themselves.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

didn't wait for Lin Xi to react. Hong Jinbao had already rushed to get up from his seat and took the initiative to walk over and open the door.

Cheng Long, who was standing outside, thought that Lin Xi had come to open the door in person, and was about to say hello with a smile, when he saw Hong Jinbao's face coldly, he was stunned for a moment.

"Big brother. Are you there too? ”

Cheng Long reacted quickly, and then greeted Hong Jinbao with a smile on his face.

Hong Jinbao didn't expect Cheng Long to come to Lin Xi at this time, so he nodded slightly from him and let him in.

After entering the door, Cheng Long immediately explained to Lin Xi: "Mr. Lin, I was just in the artist training class. I rushed over immediately after receiving your call, weren't you late? ”

Lin Xi raised his finger and pointed to a seat next to Hong Jinbao, "You're just in time, sit down!" ”

After Cheng Long sat down, he congratulated Hong Jinbao on the fact that his three movies received more than 4ooo box office. Although there was a little unnatural look in his expression, he finally showed a scene of harmony and friendship between his brothers and sisters.

In front of Lin Xi, of course Hong Jinbao would not take credit, and pushed all the credit to Lin Xi.

After the two of them were polite, Lin Xi spoke: "I originally said that I would wait for two months and then open a separate movie for Ah Long, but just now, Brother Hong, when you mentioned it, I suddenly had a new idea." ”

Lin Xi said this. Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao invariably had a thought in their hearts: It won't be for the two to cooperate in making a movie, right?

Sure enough, Lin Xi's next words confirmed this.

"Do you want what I said at the last meal? If you want to surpass or catch up with Bruce Lee's current achievements, it is definitely not possible to follow the path he has walked. And then I've been thinking about this question all this time, since I don't follow Bruce Lee's path, which way should I go? In the end, I thought that the two most profitable movies in Hong Kong are kung fu movies and comedy films. Then why not try combining these two film genres. ”

Cheng Long didn't say anything when he heard this, but Hong Jinbao couldn't help asking: "Before, "Ghost Fight" and "Scary" also had kung fu and funny?" ”

Lin Xi corrected: "To be precise, those three movies are mostly kung fu and horror elements. Funny is only used to spice up the atmosphere, and the kung fu in it is kung fu. Funny is funny, the two are separate, and my idea is to completely blend kung fu and comedy, and the joke into the fight. ”

Cheng Long reacted the fastest, and immediately grasped the point of Lin Xi's words.

"Isn't that a bit like juggling?"

"The key is to grasp a degree, to be a little more formal than juggling, and then to be able to fight so strictly in this kind of hard horse and hard bridge kung fu fight, which means that it is necessary to make the audience feel that you are really fighting, and at the same time, it must be interesting for everyone to watch."

After Lin Xi said this, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao both fell silent together.

In fact, both of them wanted to say it, which was probably a bit difficult to do, but because Lin Xi said it in front of the two of them, if anyone opened this mouth first, it seemed that he was inferior to the other person.

So both of them spoke, but they didn't immediately say yes.

Lin Xi took out two copies of the paper from the drawer and pushed them in front of Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

"This is the script I prepared, you can read it first, if you really feel embarrassed, you can quit, I won't force it."

Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao glanced at each other, and opened the script together.

Lin Xi excused himself to make coffee, took his water cup and left, and when he went out, he also took the door with him, which was regarded as completely leaving the office to Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

Zhao Yazhi's office next door.

Looking at Lin Xi, who suddenly ran over to visit the door, Zhao Yazhi had no choice but to stop what he was doing and talk to him.

"You're asking so much, will the two of them say yes?"

Lin Xi leaned in front of Zhao Yazhi's desk, looked sideways at her and explained: "If I take the script and look for them alone, they may all be a little hesitant, it is indeed difficult to make this movie, and many shots will definitely be very dangerous if they are shot, but where in this world are there achievements that you want to gain without paying?" The success of "Ghost Fights Ghost", "People Scary", and "People Scary Ghosts" came too easily, and if they were not given a challenging script, they would probably lie on the previous credit book and not know how to improve. ”

"So you're sure they won't refuse?"

Zhao Yazhi was talking, and suddenly realized that Lin Xi's gaze was a little wrong, and angrily grabbed the Wen Jiàn clip on the side and threw it at him.

"Dead bastard, you still see!"

Lin Xi didn't dodge or dodge, but her eyes were still staring at the temptation that was accidentally exposed at her collar. The scenery of the people subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Because of the hot weather, the buttons of Zhao Yazhi's shirt were not completely buttoned, and from Lin Xi's point of view, two full bulges could be seen. and the pink buds that wrap it tightly. Silk chest. Cover.

Zhao Yazhi saw that Lin Xi had no intention of hiding at all, so he remembered to block his chest with his hand.

Lin Xi withdrew his gaze with some regret and shrugged as if nothing had happened, but Zhao Yazhi felt that he could no longer let him stay in his office.

Just now when she was looked at by Lin Xi like that, she felt it. I'm a little wet, and I don't know what will happen if I continue.

Lin Xi was pushed out by Zhao Yazhi, who stood up, and thought that she was really angry, but when he was about to walk to the door, he found that Zhao Yazhi's expression was shy but not much annoyed, and suddenly a bolder idea popped up.

Taking advantage of Zhao Yazhi's reach to grab the doorknob, he suddenly turned around and hugged her all of a sudden.

The soft and delicate body was taken into his arms, and Lin Xi couldn't help but close his eyes and suck greedily. Inhaled the good aroma of Zhao Yazhi's body.

Zhao Yazhi was stunned by this sudden change, and only reacted after a while, and was about to break free, but her lips were directly blocked by Lin Xi's kiss.

Lin Xi's tongue easily pried open Zhao Yazhi's teeth, and began to greedily taste the delicate and smooth touch of the fragrant tongue inside.

Zhao Yazhi's brain lost control all of a sudden, and she only felt as if she was on a bumpy boat, and the waves hit one after another, making her completely lose control of her body.

Her whole body was paralyzed in Lin Xi's arms, sinking into this breathless kiss, until Lin Xi's hand turned from under her skirt very dishonestly, she suddenly came to her senses, and suddenly said that Lin Xi pushed away.

She's on the side. Panting and standing firm, he raised his hand and pointed to the office door and ordered, "Get out!" ”

"Sister Zhi, I'm ......" Lin Xi naturally refused to give up so lightly at the "delicious" that he was about to get his hands on, but the resolute expression on Zhao Yazhi's face told him, at least today is no chance.

"Get out!" Zhao Yazhi saw that Lin Xi was standing and refused to move, and his voice was about to cry out in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Xi had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Just when Lin Xi opened the door, Zhao Yazhi suddenly stopped him from behind.

Lin Xi turned his head in surprise, thinking that Zhao Yazhi had finally figured it out, but who wanted to hear it was to remind him to wipe the lipstick off his mouth before leaving, and his expression instantly petrified.

For a while, Lin Xi didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed!
