"Sister Sheng, do you know any outstanding movie stunt companies in Hong Kong?"

Yan Qingyu took the script and sat on the sofa, and the person sitting next to him was Shi Nansheng, who came to report for the first time today.

Shi Nansheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "There is no ready-made stunt company in Hong Kong, and Xu Ke is also very troubled because of this matter. Now Hong Kong movies, if you want to do special effects, you can only go to Hollywood to do it. However, when Xu Ke was filming, he had already started to cultivate a group of stunt talents. And he recently had plans to set up a stunt studio. ”

Yan Qingyu laughed when she heard this: "Sister Sheng, you are selling the old bottom of Old Monster Xu cleanly." Aren't you afraid that I'll cut off his beard? ”

Shi ≌, √ anshub↖a. Nan Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Yan Sheng's pattern is so big that Xu Ke can not be compared to a film director. And with Yan Sheng's character, even if he intercepts his beard, he will not let him suffer. ”

When Yan Qingyu heard this, she took a deep look at Shi Nansheng, who was sitting dignifiedly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I will never take advantage of others for no reason." Go contact Xu Ke, at two o'clock this afternoon, I want to see him here, and I have something to talk to him. Digging his chief manager, you have to give some compensation. ”

……

"Sit, Producer Xu."

Yan Qingyu pointed to the sofa opposite and said to Xu Ke. Speaking of the name "Xu Producer", it is also more interesting.

In Hong Kong, most people like to be directors when directing films. Because generally speaking, the director is able to dominate the set of the set.

However, Xu Ke is different, he rarely goes to be a director, he likes to be a producer. However, when he was a producer, he liked to lead the director......

In front of Yan Qingyu, Xu Ke naturally didn't dare to take it big, and after smiling and thanking him, he sat down next to the sofa. After seeing Shi Nansheng come over and pour him a glass of water, he actually said thank you......

Yan Qingyu shook her head with a smile, but she didn't say much. It is a good thing to have a sense of awe in people's hearts.

Yan Qingyu said: "There are three things to see Producer Xu today. The first thing is to thank Producer Xu for being able to let Sister Sheng help me. Sister Sheng, in just a few days, she sorted out the complicated trivial matters around me, and shared a lot of worries for me. ”

Xu Ke suddenly wanted to stand up when he heard this, Yan Qingyu hurriedly pressed his hand when he saw this, and said, "You're welcome, sit down and say." ”

Xu Ke sat down when he heard this. said: "Yan Sheng, you are really polite. Nan Sheng's talent is recognized in Hong Kong, and I will not be humble about that. But I have to admit that Nan Sheng is too condescending to do things by my side and be a housekeeper for me. I believe that Nan Sheng's work by Yan Sheng's side can better reflect her ability and value. ”

Yan Qingyu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Sister Sheng's talent is obvious to all." So let's talk about the second thing, I wrote a script for Xiaoxian. called, is Producer Xu interested in this movie? ”

When Xu Ke heard this, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Yan Sheng." Is this story taken from the story of Pu Songling? I remember in the 60s, Shaw Brothers once made a film. ”

Yan Qingyu nodded and said, "That's right, it's the same name as that film." But it has nothing to do with it, and there are some changes to the original book. Here's the script. Producer Xu can take a look first. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Nansheng on the side. Out of nowhere, he took out a script and handed it to Xu Ke.

Looking at the big butler who used to be handy for himself, but now he has become someone else's handy assistant, Xu Ke's heart is still a little sour.

But he also knew that this was not the time to think about these things, and after the script, he quickly browsed it.

The story is not very complicated, but it is wonderful.

Scholar Ning Caichen went to Guobei County to collect accounts, and when it rained heavily, he hid in the legendary Lanruo Temple to stay, but was rejected by the Taoist priest Yan Chixia in the temple. Ning sneaked into the temple, and at night, Ning was attracted by a burst of piano sound, and met the girl Nie Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian suddenly revealed a murderous intention, fortunately Yan Chixia arrived and saved Ning's life.

Xiao Qian felt her integrity and fell in love, but was stopped by Yan. Ning mistook Yan for a murderer and wanted to escape with Xiaoqian, but the tree spirit grandma forced Xiaoqian to kill Ning, Xiaoqian refused, and grandma ordered the demons to kill Ning and Xiaoqian, Yan reappeared and saved the two, and grandma was seriously injured.

At this time, Ning Cai knew that Xiao Qian was originally a wandering soul, and was controlled by her grandmother because her bones were abandoned in the wilderness, and she looked for strong men every night to attract yang essence for her grandmother, and gain and prolong her life. In order to avoid Xiaoqian being humiliated again, Ning promised to send her bones back to her hometown for burial, not wanting Xiaoqian to be robbed by the underworld stone demon as her wife at this time, Yan couldn't stand Ning Xiang's begging, shot again, and finally rescued Xiaoqian, but Yan let Xiaoqian reincarnate, and this pair of lovers could not work together.

After Xu Ke finished watching it, he looked a little excited and said: "Yan Sheng, this is a good movie, I will definitely make it a classic." I can make a military order! ”

Yan Qingyu nodded with a smile and said, "I don't have to worry about this, with your talent as a producer of Xu Da, there is no problem in producing this film." It's just that if this film is going to be filmed well, I'm afraid a lot of stunts will be used, I don't know if Producer Xu is sure to do it well? ”

Xu Ke had already learned from Shi Nansheng that Yan Qingyu was interested in his stunt company, and he was prepared, so he answered very easily, Xu Ke said: "Yan Sheng, although I also have some stunt talents, I can only do some of the simplest and most basic stunts. If you want to make the scene more grandiose and realistic, it's best to go to Hollywood. ”

Yan Qingyu nodded when she heard this, groaned, and asked: "If you want to be a top stunt company in Hong Kong, at least not inferior to Hollywood, is it possible for Producer Xu?" ”

Xu Ke's face flushed a little when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Yan Sheng, of course you can't rely only on local technical talents. But if Yan Sheng is willing to spend money to introduce European and American talents, there must be no problem. ”

Looking at the excited Xu Ke, Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "I didn't expect Producer Xu to be a technical maniac?" ”

When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately complained: "Yan Sheng, I think the biggest gap between Hong Kong movies and Hollywood movies is in the special effects of the movie. From the seventy-seventh year of George. At the beginning of Lucas, the films of this era have actually entered the era of special effects films. A large number of special effects are piled up, and the gorgeous stunts are beyond people's imagination, and the Hong Kong special effects movies in comparison are as immature as babies who have not yet started. ”

Yan Qingyu supported her jaw with one hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Is Hong Kong movies so bad?" Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are selling well in Asia. ”

Xu Ke shook his head and said: "Yan Sheng, the biggest obstacle for European and American films to enter Asia is cultural differences. And Hong Kong films want to make it difficult to enter Hollywood is a reason. However, brilliant and unparalleled visual effects are the best way to break down this barrier. It is enough to be able to make people forget about the differences in ethnicity and culture. Both George Lucas's illustrate this. Yan Sheng, if Hong Kong films don't work hard, wait until Hollywood's stunts continue to develop, they will break the cultural barrier and enter Asia! At that time, Hong Kong films were in danger! ”

When Yan Qingyu heard this, she narrowed her slender eyes, and her dark pupils stared at Xu Ke, who was talking eloquently.

Under the pressure of Yan Qingyu's gaze, Xu Ke did not flinch, he asked himself with a clear conscience, he was indeed talking about Hong Kong movies.

Yan Qingyu looked at the determined gaze in Xu Ke's eyes, nodded, and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?" ”

Xu Ke stretched out three fingers and said, "I need 30 million US dollars, and the subsequent annual investment is not less than this amount." Now is a great opportunity that we must take advantage of. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Money is not a problem, but I want to see hope, what kind of opportunity do you talk about first?" ”

Xu Ke suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "As far as I know, Lucas, the owner of Industrial Light & Magic, has fallen into a financial crisis because of marriage problems. As a result, he wanted to sell ILM's very expensive computer animation department. There are more than a dozen very top computer special effects talents in this computer work department, especially Ed Ed, who has been the vice president of the film and animation department of Lucas since 1979. Catmoore, his skills are definitely one of the best in the industry. ”

Yan Qingyu was puzzled: "Such a talent, Lucas is willing to give up on him?" ”

Xu Ke smiled with a twinkle in his eyes: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and today's computer animation has not had much impact on the film world." However, many of these special effects techniques are common. Computer stunts must be the mainstream of special effects movies in the future. Yan Sheng, don't miss the opportunity and never come again. ”

Yan Qingyu looked at the excited Xu Ke and nodded: "Okay, your words and your love for Hong Kong movies convinced me." I can pay 30 million US dollars, Producer Xu, you go and take down the computer animation department of ILM, but don't bring it back to Hong Kong yet. ”

Xu Ke's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he got up suddenly and said, "Yan Sheng, if you don't bring it back to Hong Kong, it's still a stunt company in Hong Kong?" ”

Yan Qingyu looked at Xu Ke with a light gaze, and said lightly: "The stunt company is mine, I am from Hong Kong, and a considerable number of the talents in the stunt company will be Chinese, and the company will take over the special effects production of Hong Kong films." Xu Ke, tell me, is this stunt company a stunt company in Hong Kong? ”

Yan Qingyu's bland gaze brought great pressure to Xu Ke, after all, the rise and fall of his studio was in Yan Qingyu's hands.

It's just that if this established movie stunt company doesn't return to Hong Kong, then ......

Xu Kedao: "Yan Sheng, wouldn't it be more convenient for this company to be established in Hong Kong?" ”

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "Hong Kong will also set up a stunt company, but it will be a branch, and it will not be now." Although Hong Kong is convenient, it is still far less attractive to talent than the United States. Moreover, Hong Kong is now full of chaos, which is not conducive to the development of high-end companies. On top of that, Hong Kong's layout is nearing completion.

This is my last work in Hong Kong, produced by Tsui, with a long-term vision. In terms of the film industry, Hong Kong is too small, Southeast Asia is too small, and Asia is too small. Only by breaking out of Asia and going to Hollywood can we truly carry forward Hong Kong films. (To be continued......)
