Two days later, Chen Ping'an met Wang Jiawei at the Hong'an Tao Bar.

Hong'an Tao Bar is currently operating well, and it has brought more than one million dollars to Zhong Chuhong this year. But with the cooling down of "The Love of People and Ghosts", it is possible for Tao Bar's income to decline or even lose money, but Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong don't care.

The two have already explained to the six staff members in the pottery bar that even if they lose money in the future, the pottery bar will not close, so that they can rest assured that they don't have to worry about losing their jobs one day. From the outside world's point of view, this is the exhibition hall of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", but for Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong, it is more of a commemoration to commemorate their love.

He discussed with Zhong Chuhong that he was going to transform Hong'an Tao Bar into a private theme café in the future, and told the manager and staff about this decision, so that they could learn about it.

Chen Ping'an likes to ask people to come here to talk about things. Sitting in the corner of the room, listening to the "unrestrained melody", sipping coffee, there is a sense of leisure, and it is not easy to be discovered. For example, if Wang Jiawei meets Wang Jiawei this time, if Wang Jiawei dies at the Dark Horse International Headquarters in the World Trade Building, it is guaranteed that it will be reported by the newspaper the next day.

But in the Red Antao Bar, no one will notice.

Wang Jiawei sat opposite Chen Ping'an in a white shirt and jeans: "Mr. Chen, do you have something to do with me today?" ”

Since participating in the writing of the movie script "Caiyun Song" in 82, Wang Jiawei has been writing the script for five years, and his screenwriting career can be described as bumpy.

He first joined Yongjia Pictures, and later joined New Art City, and then he was fired.

Huang Baiming fully presided over the new art city, and he needed to sign the checks for the employees' salaries. He is a screenwriter by training, so he pays attention to the name of the screenwriter.

At that time, Huang Baiming paid attention to Wang Jiawei for a few months, but there was no work written by him, so he called Zheng Zeshi to ask. At that time, Zheng Zeshi was in charge of Wang Jiawei's group of screenwriters, and Zheng Zeshi's answer was, "We are still waiting for his script in the whole group." ”

So Huang Baiming made an appointment with Wang Jiawei to ask the reason, he couldn't tolerate someone in the company who didn't work for nothing.

The reason given by Wang Jiawei is also very fucked: "I have to hide quietly, I can't see people and I can't work, so I can write an excellent script." ”

Huang Baiming used himself as an example to teach Wang Jiawei, and a month later, Wang Jiawei took out a script, and Zheng Zeshi's group evaluated it very ordinary, so Wang Jiawei rolled up and left, leaving Xinyicheng.

Later, the super three giants entered the New Arts City and recruited a wide range of people, Wong Jiawei joined the New Arts City for the second time, and conceived the script of "Mong Kok Carmen". However, his experience in Xinyi City made Yu Cheng not optimistic. coincided with the script competition held by Dark Horse International, and he participated in the competition with the script of "Carmen in Mong Kok". Yesterday, I received a phone call informing me that Chen Ping'an had asked him to meet him at Hong'an Tao Bar this morning.

He came this time with anticipation. Chen Ping'an's reputation is too famous, especially his natural discerning eye is good at discovering talents from the micro-ends, which makes him full of illusions about this meeting.

"You wrote this book, right?" Chen Ping'an pushed the script of "Mong Kok Carmen" in front of Wang Jiawei, and the latter's face changed greatly: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”

The book of the contest was actually drawn out by Chen Ping'an alone, which is obviously contrary to the principle of fairness and justice of the competition, and belongs to the category of black-box operation!

"What do you think, how is your book?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Then I'll put it another way. If I film according to this book, I think it will be rubbish, let alone others. ”

This has been said very clearly, at least Wang Jiawei thinks so. He was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the script: "Excuse me Mr. Chen." ”

"Wait!" Chen Ping'an's hand pressed the script, "I haven't finished my words yet." ”

"Are you going to humiliate me again!" Wang Jiawei also thought that there was Huang Baiming in this, he was fired by Huang Baiming in Xinyi City back then, and Huang Baiming is now joining Dark Horse International, and he will definitely be responsible for the review of the script collection competition.

"Huh." Chen Ping'an smiled, "When did I humiliate you?" ”

"Then what else do you want to say!"

Chen Ping'an took a sip of coffee: "I really want to know what this script will look like after it is made into a movie." I wonder if you're interested in making this movie? ”

"I'm filming, making this movie?" Wang Jiawei's mouth was dry and his tongue was knotted, "You mean, I'm a director?" ”

"Your book, even I don't think I'm sure, who are you not directing?"

"But, but, but I've never been a director before."

", I'm not afraid of investing in waste, are you still afraid of not being able to shoot well? Where did all your momentum go, the dog ate it? ”

"Mr. Chen, I ......" At this time, if Wang Jiawei still doesn't understand, it is better to find a piece of tofu and kill him, "I will definitely work hard to live up to your high expectations." ”

"Since I dare you to direct, I believe in your ability, and even more in my eyes, I will never look at the wrong person."

This sentence gave Wang Jiawei great confidence and courage, even more than the shock of Chen Ping'an asking him to direct "Mong Kok Carmen". Chen Ping'an is a miracle in the film industry, a myth, not only his entrepreneurial history and filmed works, but also his eyes, how many outstanding talents in the film industry have been excavated by him, and these people have now become the mainstay of Dark Horse International.

Wang Jiawei took a sip of coffee to calm his excitement. He is just an unambitious screenwriter, he wanted to take advantage of the script contest to find an opportunity, who wants to actually bump into Dabao, and he is so excited that he doesn't know what to say.

Chen Ping'an continued: "However, I don't think that you have the ability to direct this play well, at least you don't understand the rivers and lakes in the script, the people and things in the rivers and lakes enough. If you want, I will arrange for you to integrate into certain circles, so that you can have a deeper understanding of the so-called rivers and lakes. Would you like to? ”

"I do!"

"Very well, now it's time to move on to the next question. When will you be able to join my company? ”

The foreshadowing in front of Wang Jiawei is almost ripe, and at this moment, Chen Ping'an made an invitation, and it naturally came naturally. Wang Jiawei agreed without hesitation that how to choose between Chen Ping'an's weight and Super New Art City's lack of attention will not pose a problem to anyone.

……

At the beginning of December, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was completed, and Mai Zishan devoted himself to intense post-editing work, as busy as he was, as well as the Dark Horse Special Effects Studio - this is their pioneering work, not only to have an explanation for themselves, but also to give Chen Ping'an a satisfactory answer.

After entering December, the atmosphere of Christmas is getting stronger and stronger, and the most intuitive reaction of the film industry is the vigorous promotion of the movies released in the Christmas file by various theaters. Television, radio, newspapers, and posters on crowded streets are dazzling and familiar.

Cheng Long has now been discharged from the hospital, and "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" continues to be filmed, which is now nearing the end, and most of them will be released next year's Chinese New Year. This year's Christmas Golden Harvest launched the movie "Detective Chocolate", which is a masterpiece of the satellite company Xu's Pictures. Directed by Chen Xinjian, starring Xu Guanwen, and invited two actresses, Anita Mui and Hu Huizhong, to join, taking the typical style of Xu's urban comedy.

Debao Cinemas is about to release "Eight Joys" directed by Feng Shixiong, starring Wu Yaohan, Feng Baobao, Lu Fang, Luo Meiwei, Li Lizhen and others.

Dark Horse International launched "A Chinese Ghost Story", due to the publicity in place, many citizens are looking forward to this movie, looking forward to "A Chinese Ghost Story", which is called another ghost romance film, what kind of surprises can it bring, and whether it will be as sensational as last year's "Human Ghost Love".

These days, part of the trailer of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is broadcast on TVB, Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian and Wen Bibian's ancient costumes, as well as the passion scene between Chen Ping'an, Wang Guxian and Wen Bibian...... Although it was only a two-second flash, it still aroused the appetite of many viewers. In addition, the sophisticated special effects shots used in the film brought great shock to the audience, and Hong Kong films have never had such sophisticated special effects.

The reporter once conducted random interviews on the street to investigate the public's expectations for several movies in the Christmas file, and the first place was "A Chinese Ghost Story", which left the other three movies far behind with a proportion of more than 50%.

In second place is the horror film "Fierce Cat" by Super New Arts City. This result was unexpected, but it was within the expectations of the Super Three, and it was surprisingly successful!

Yu Yunkang is one of the directors of the New Wave, specializing in horror and horror films. His filming style is not known for his bloody and murderous techniques, but is better at grasping details in the construction of the horror atmosphere, such as the combination of sound, color and environment, which is the hallmark of Yu's horror films.

In the early 80s, he directed films such as "Mountain Dog" and "Murder List", which established his status in horror films. Especially in "Murder List", the scene of the property manager meeting a ghost in the murderous building creates a new model of Hong Kong-style ghost films.

After the Super Triumvirate entered the New Arts City, they recruited him with a high salary and vigorously supported him to shoot the horror film "Fierce Cat", planning to release "Fierce Cat" when various film companies released comedies one after another at Christmas, and won with novelty.

Judging from the reporter's investigation alone, the strategy of Super New Arts City has been successful, at least in terms of attracting the attention of the public, the first step has been successful.

Knowing the results of the investigation, Super New Arts City struck while the iron was hot, and on December 12, 86, it took the lead in launching the movie "Fierce Cat", which fired the first shot of the Christmas box office war. They thought that this move could disrupt the film scheduling plans of other film companies like Golden Harvest seizing the opportunity in the summer vacation, but who would have thought that after the news came out, the other three film companies did not react.

Golden Harvest and Debao scoffed at the strategy of Super New Art City, and the joyful atmosphere of Christmas was released in horror films, isn't this looking for death? Chen Ping'an is not optimistic about Hong Kong horror films at all, but he still attended the premiere of "Fierce Cat" held at the Lisheng Cinema. R1152
