Wang Guxian's parents were still a little suspicious of Lin Xi asking their daughter to make a movie at first, but when they saw so many gifts piled up in Lin Xi's ward, and most of the people who gave these gifts were well-known figures in the Hong Kong film industry, most of the doubts in their hearts were immediately removed.

Lin Xi stayed in the hospital for three days, and felt that there was no problem with his body, so he went through the discharge procedures directly.

"Happy Ghost" restarted filming, and the progress suddenly accelerated a lot.

Mr. Wang's father and brother returned to Taiwan the day after Mr. Lin was discharged from the hospital, while Mr. Wang's mother stayed behind to work as her daughter's full-time agent and assistant.

Wang Guxian also moved out of Zhao Yazhi's house and lived with his mother in a long-term suite specially booked for them in the hotel.

A week later, filming was nearing completion.

"OK, this is over!"

Lin Xi, who was sitting in front of the monitor, took off the headphones and announced that the last set of shots had been completed.

The surrounding staff cheered together, and Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help but hug each other excitedly in front of the camera.

Wang Jing, who was standing behind Lin Xi, also sighed with emotion.

Many friends and acquaintances around Wang Jing, including his father Wang Tianlin, heard that he had signed a "deed of sale" with Oriental Film and Television Company for 20 years, and they all felt that he was sick in the brain, but what Guò saw and heard in the crew for more than half a month, Wang Jing became more and more convinced that it was a very wise decision to sign with Oriental Film and Television Company.

Wang Jing believes that after the release of "Happy Ghost", it will definitely surprise people who were not optimistic about him at the beginning.

But not everyone is as confident in "Happy Ghost" as Wang Jing, Wang Guxian's mother is not particularly optimistic about this movie, but as a layman, she is not good at saying this idea directly, so when discussing with Lin Xi the question of Wang Groupxian's stay after filming this movie, she expressed her worries from the side.

"Mr. Lin, I have discussed with Xiaoxian's father, and we have no objection to her wanting to be an actress, but we still hope that she can go back to Taiwan to study in art school, and then enter the film industry after graduation."

Lin Xi was called aside by Wang Guxian's mother, and couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"Mrs. Wang, I can understand your thoughts as a parent, but from the perspective of the actor's career development, I still recommend that Xiaoxian stay in Hong Kong. Because being an actor is not like doing anything else, the sooner you become famous, the better, Xiaoxian has now made a movie, and she will definitely be able to accumulate some fame after its release, and then go back to Taiwan to go to art school, not to mention the delay of this year or two, what she can learn in art school can actually be learned slowly in the process of filming. ”

Wang Guxian's mother obviously came prepared, and as soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, she immediately said: "Mr. Lin, we have actually considered the problem you mentioned, but I don't think there is a conflict between filming and studying in art school?" After Xiaoxian returns to Taiwan, he can still study while filming, so won't all the problems be solved? ”

"Mrs. Wang, you still don't understand what I mean, I'm not against Xiaoxian going to art school, but against her returning to Taiwan to develop, this is not that I look down on Taiwan, but Taiwan's own entertainment industry can't be compared with Hong Kong, TV is better, in addition to a few art films that rely on government funds to support and win awards, it is worth mentioning, the market for commercial films has always been occupied by Hong Kong films, if Xiaoxian really wants to be a film actor in the future, returning to Taiwan is equivalent to giving up the basics."

Lin Xi made these words clear, and Wang Guxian's mother couldn't help but show hesitation on her face.

"I take the liberty of asking, is it Mrs. Wang's idea to go back to Taiwan to study in art school, or does Xiaoxian himself have plans in this regard?" Lin Xi asked again.

"It's my idea, I haven't told her yet." Wang Guxian's mother's expression darkened, originally she wanted to persuade Lin Xi first, and then let Lin Xi help persuade her daughter, but she didn't expect things to become like this.

"Actually, we will discuss this matter, if Xiaoxian himself does not agree, it will be useless, so it is best for Mrs. Wang to communicate with your daughter first, and make sure what she thinks before making a decision."

Seeing that Lin Xi was about to leave after saying this, Wang Guxian's mother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mr. Lin, are you really sure that Xiaoxian will become famous after filming this movie?" ”

"Of course I have confidence in my work, but I really can't come up with evidence to prove it before the official release of the film, and of course I can make an agreement with Mrs. Wang. If the box office is still reasonable after the release of this movie, then you will listen to me and let Xiaoxian stay in Hong Kong to develop; If the box office is not satisfactory after the release of this movie, then I will help you convince Xiaoxian and ask her to go back to Taiwan with you...... What do you think of this idea? ”

Wang Guxian's mother was indeed a little moved when she heard this, but she was not such a foolish person, so she immediately asked Lin Xi what the so-called "box office is reasonable" was.

"The filming cost of this film is 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and according to my expectations, the box office should reach more than 10 million, and it is not particularly satisfying to be below this figure."

Wang Jixian's mother is an outsider after all, and she doesn't have a very clear understanding of what the concept of a movie with a box office of 10 million is in the Hong Kong film industry, but 10 million Hong Kong dollars is converted into Taiwan dollars is more than 40 million, at least she has not heard of a few movies in Taiwan that the box office can exceed this number, thinking that at least Lin Xi didn't deliberately say a number to fool herself, so she agreed to Lin Xi's mention just now.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, let me ask you one more question here, if Xiaoxian really stays in Hong Kong to develop, do you have any special arrangements here?"

Lin Xi replied without thinking: "Of course, I will arrange for her to become an artist of Oriental Film and Television Company first, and as for the contract, it can be signed after two years." ”

Wang Guxian's mother was stunned, "Why did you sign it after two years?" ”

Lin Xi patiently explained: "Xiaoxian is only sixteen years old now, and she will be an adult in two years, and the contract signed at that time will really have legal effect, at least the law here in Hong Kong stipulates that, I can understand Mrs. Wang?" ”

"What about the two years before the official signing of the contract?"

"Oriental Film and Television and Hong Kong Asia Television are partners, they have a special artist training class there, and when the time comes, I can arrange for Xiaoxian to go there to study for a year, during which she will be arranged to appear in some TV series to increase her experience, which will be more beneficial to her future development."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, it didn't seem like casual nonsense, and Wang Guxian's mother was completely relieved.

As soon as the two finished talking, they heard a cough around the corner of the corridor, and then saw Wang Jing walking out from there.

"Mrs. Wang is also here, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Wang Jing pretended to come with a sentence, and Wang Guxian's mother took the initiative to leave when she saw this.

Seeing her leave, Wang Jing turned his head and immediately explained: "I really didn't mean to, isn't this the end of the movie?" Everyone is talking about going to celebrate, so let me ask you what you mean. ”

"Intentionally or not, you heard it anyway, what are you pretending to be confused in front of me?" Lin Xi looked at Wang Jing angrily, this fat man is good at everything, but sometimes he is too thick-skinned.

Wang Jing smiled hesitantly: "Aren't I afraid that you will misunderstand?" But seriously, I heard you say just now that the box office of "Happy Ghost" must be at least 10 million or more to be satisfied, you can't be joking, right? ”

Lin Xi glared at Wang Jing, "Do you look at me like I'm joking?" ”

Wang Jing was stunned after hearing this, and was about to say whether this box office target was set too high, but when he thought of the previous box office of "Ghost Fighting", "People Scary", and "People Scary Ghosts" won more than 40 million at a production cost of less than 4 million, it seems reasonable to say that the box office of "Happy Ghost" exceeded 10 million.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you before, which theater are you going to cooperate with in this movie?"

"I have already agreed with Jiahe, they will come to take samples in two days, and when the electrical inspection department reviews it, it can be directly scheduled for release."

"Or is it a two-line show?" Wang Jing couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xi's tone became a little uncertain: "Jiahe's side is definitely fine, but the Shaw family's side can't say it." ”

Wang Jing touched his fat chin, and said with some confusion: "Wouldn't it be that you are going to cooperate with ATV to make a martial arts drama to stimulate Uncle Six?" Otherwise, there is no reason for Shaw Brothers to refuse this movie? ”

Lin Xi glanced at Wang Jing, and his expression became strange.

"You really don't know why?"

Wang Jing was confused by Lin Xi's reaction.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You jumped from Shaw Brothers to Oriental Film and Television, do you think it's possible to say that Uncle Six doesn't have any ideas at all?"

Lin Xi's words completely woke up Wang Jing, but he didn't expect that the problem was himself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Lin Xi raised his hand to interrupt Wang Jing's apology.

"The double-line joint screening is nothing more than a faster box office growth, and the impact on the total box office is not very large, if the Shaw Brothers really refuses this movie, it is their own loss, what is really involved in your job change this time is not our movie, but your father!"

Wang Jing looked at Lin Xi with a questioning face: "My father, what does this have to do with him?" ”

"You jump ship to me, your father's life in wireless is definitely not as good as before, it's hard to say whether Uncle Six will trust him as much as before, but one thing is for sure, because you are the assistant director of "Happy Ghost", the better the box office results after the release of this movie, the greater the pressure on your father's side, so ah, if you want to apologize, let's talk to your father!"

Lin Xi patted Wang Jing's shoulder with a look of sympathy.

When Lin Xi turned around and left, Wang Jing reacted.

He shouted at Lin Xi's back: "Hey, what do you mean, it seems that "Happy Ghost" will definitely be a box office hit!" ”

Lin Xi turned his head to look at Wang Jing and smiled.

"You know what you know in your own heart, do you still need me to say it?" R1152
