"Uncle Huai." Li Xuechu greeted respectfully.

"Hehe, Chuzai, you're here." Zou Wenhuai greeted with a smile: "Come, sit down." ”

"Sorry to be late."

"Didn't the time come, but I came early."

Today, Li Xuechu deliberately came over more than 20 minutes early, but when he came, he had already arrived, not only Zou Wenhuai, but also another 'acquaintance' who had seen many times in the TV computer in later generations, Chen Long. It seems that his guess is eighty percent accurate.

Chen Long smiled at Li Xuechu in a friendly manner, and didn't say much, this young man who was too young and had a lot of status higher than himself didn't know what attitude to use for a while.

Regarding Brother Chen Long's restraint and unnaturalness, Li Xuechu smiled secretly and enthusiastically put it on.

"This is Brother Chen Long, right? I've seen your movie. It's a pity that you went to the United States before, and then I was busy, so I didn't run into it until today. ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Chu Tsai knows Ah Long, I brought him over today just to let you get to know him." Boss Zou said with a smile.

"How could I not know, it is also a coincidence, he was not there when I was there, or he should have seen it a long time ago. I usually hear Brother Sanmao talk about Brother Chen Long. ”

Chen Long and Hong Jinbao are brothers, and they usually have a good relationship. However, the two are rivals in the Xiangjiang film industry and even within Golden Harvest, and have always maintained a delicate relationship between rivals and friends.

"Big brother or something, don't mention it, Mr. Li, you can call me Ah Long." Chen Long said busily.

"Then I'll call you Brother Long, you still call me Chuzai." Li Xuechu smiled: "There are a lot fewer people who call me Chuzai now, in fact, I don't mind, it still sounds kinder." ”

Chen Long also smiled: "Then I will call you a junior boy by how old you are, and you can call me Brother Ah Long Long." ”

Li Xuechu didn't put on a show, and Chen Long also relaxed. Chen Long himself is a cheerful and talkative person, Li Xuechu has been here for more than a year, and in this environment where there is no computer communication and a lot of communication, he has changed the problem of otaku being unsociable, and the two are quite close to each other.

Li Xuechu was quite curious about Chen Long's Hollywood experience, but he didn't ask much when he knew that Chen Long was unsatisfactory in Hollywood.

Who knows that Chen Long is quite interested in this experience, and talks about a lot of interesting things about living in Hollywood, how many friends he has made, how different Chinatown and Hong Kong are, and so on. It seems that in addition to the bad career, the others are also passable.

"There are a lot of Chinese people in Los Angeles, and if you live in a Chinese community, even if you can't speak English, there's nothing inconvenient about life."

Li Xuechu has also heard of this in later generations, except for New York, which is the largest Chinatown in Los Angeles. But now you can live in it if you don't know English, and if you don't know Cantonese, it's troublesome, and Mandarin is not popular in North American Chinatowns now.

Chen Long himself is one of the few Xiangjiang people who can speak a relatively standard Mandarin, after all, he studied Peking Opera when he was a child, and he has strict requirements for Mandarin, and his pronunciation may be more standard than Li Xuechu with a local accent. In fact, Xiangjiang's early movies were spoken in Chinese.

After chatting, the atmosphere was a lot more harmonious.

Zou Wenhuai was quite satisfied with Li Xuechu's attitude, and at first he was worried that he would become arrogant after he was about to rise, and there are still many such people in this world. However, looking at the posterior baby as always, Boss Zou feels a lot more comfortable.

In the early 70s, when others were still in the small circle of Xiangjiang for a little profit, they pointed to Hollywood, and they were far from walking together. Unfortunately, when it was almost successful, Li Xiaolong's unexpected death brought his ambitious plan to a tragic landslide.

But the tenacious boss Zou has never given up his efforts to attack Europe and the United States, and he has also made a lot of gains in the past 20 years, but it is a pity that the European and American markets have failed several times after opening a crack. After Chen Long finally established himself in Hollywood, Golden Harvest was unable to return due to the economic downturn of Hong Kong and his own investment mistakes.

After chatting about the same, Boss Zou finally got into the topic.

"Chu Zai, I heard that your company is making a movie now?"

"Yes, based on my previous novel, it's called 'Crisis.'" Li Xuechu pouted secretly, the directors are all from your Golden Harvest, will you know? Li Xuechu is still a little uncomfortable with this twisting and turning way of talking. Li Xuechu, who was not sociable in his previous life, preferred to get straight to the point.

"Speaking of which, my film company still has fewer works, and I have been writing a script recently, so that the company will only have one work in half a year. Brother Long doesn't know if he's interested in being the leading actor in my movie, with an action theme, it's also appropriate. "It's better to say it yourself first, and the province has to go around again.

"Oh!" Zou Wenhuai was happy in his heart, this time he saved his mouth, but in fact, he was more distressed about how to open his mouth. "Chu Zai, how did you think of the script, is it inconvenient to tell us about it?"

"Of course it's convenient." Li Xuechu told the general plot of the hurricane rescue, and observed the expressions of the two as he spoke. Chen Long is obviously tempted by this movie, his previous movies have played some apprentices, young masters or something, this time playing a retired Interpol, and playing the role of a father is a challenge for him. I used to pretend to be young, but now I want to pretend to be old.

Zou Wenhuai frowned. The script is a good script, but the image of the protagonist is far from the image that Golden Harvest is trying to create for Chen Long. It turned out to be funny and funny, but now it is cold and a little cold-blooded, especially the shooting of innocent women.

Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and sighed: "Chuzai, your handwriting is still not small, this movie has been in Southeast Asia again, the cost must not be less, right?" ”

"I plan to invest 10 million, because the script shot by my company is free." Li Xuechu said.

"Hehe, what a skill." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Chu Tsai doesn't know if he is interested in letting me, an old man, join in?" Of course, the script will not let you suffer, your script is worth two million, Aaron is now worth two million, the total cost of the movie is 14 million, I will invest 7 million to invest in this movie, how about it? ”

"Since Uncle Huai is interested, of course I welcome it, and it has saved a lot of things in cooperating with Golden Harvest."

In the later generations, Golden Harvest finally won the competition with Xinyicheng, in addition to the internal bars of Xinyicheng, Jiahe's advantage in other cities is also an important reason.

Unlike New Art City, which is dedicated to wandering around Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Golden Harvest has not only created some small fame in Europe and the United States, but also occupies an absolute advantage in the Japanese and Korean markets, and now Chen Long has many fans in Japan. In terms of the overall situation, Boss Zou won a lot over Shao Yifu and Lei Juekun, although his financial resources were only a fraction of that of the latter two.

Of course, due to the emergence of Li Xuechu, the European market unexpectedly opened a door for Xiangjiang films, which made Princess Golden Harvest and other Xiangjiang masters overjoyed, and the future film trend seems to be slowly deviating from the historical track. If Europe can gain a foothold, North America can also take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that Li Xuechu has no opinion, Zou Wenhuai is a little happy, this investment is basically impossible to recover the cost in the Xiangjiang box office market, but the film from Li Xuechu's script is unexpectedly very competitive in Europe and the United States by Xiangjiang filmmakers. And Europe and the United States are Zou Wenhuai's dream markets, and no matter how much Li Xuechu asks for Boss Zou, he will actually grit his teeth and agree.

In fact, after the magic of Li Xuechu's script, Golden Harvest and even some ambitious filmmakers are studying how his script differs from other people's scripts.

Golden Harvest's internal conclusion is that Li Xuechu's scripts have few local cultural labels, and there are few plots that Easterners are happy to watch and Westerners find inexplicable, and vice versa. Now Golden Harvest is already trying this type of script, but there will be no results in the short term, and the most convenient thing is to find him himself.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Chen Long couldn't wait to communicate with Li Xuechu about the plot. Li Xuechu didn't care, Chen Long in later generations was famous for liking to change the script and add bridges, rather than letting him change it in the future, it was better to participate now, and the ideas that felt good were added directly to the script, and the unreliable ones tried to persuade him now, so as to save the director from being angry in the future.

Li Xuechu thinks that the director should be the biggest in the crew, if you are better than the director, then you should be the director.

Chen Long surprised Li Xuechu by not adding those witty action sequences, it seems that he really wants to try something different, although his action comedy style has not yet taken shape. But another feature of Chen Long's film slowly surfaced in his gushing descriptions......

"Brother Long, this is too dangerous." Li Xuechu didn't have the habit of carrying a hand towel, or he really wanted to take it out to wipe his sweat.

Long Chen disagreed: "It's okay, I myself am a dragon and tiger martial artist, this little stunt is nothing." ”

It's okay? It's really nothing to have a ghost.

In later generations, Chen Long has always been famous for fighting for his life, specializing in some highly dangerous actions, and he doesn't like to use stand-ins, so that no part of his body has not been injured later, and he turned a few times outside the Senluo Palace, and then began to use stand-ins when he was older.

Li Xuechu didn't want to take these things lightly and agreed: "The action elements of the fight can be added, but if it's too dangerous, you can use big scenes such as explosions to set off the atmosphere, and some stunt scenes are too dangerous and actually don't have much shocking effect, and it's useless to add them, just let yourself get hurt in vain." ”

"Chu Tsai is right, Ah Long, you still listen a little bit, it will also be good for you." Zou Wenhuai also persuaded that Li Xiaolong's incident in the past had already hurt Jiahe's muscles and bones, and if Chen Long had another mistake, it would not be a joke.

"What's more, the script of the movie I invested in cannot be changed at will, and any suggestions or questions can be raised before, but once the script is determined, it must be changed with my consent." This problem can't be used to, at least here in Li Xuechu. "This is a matter of principle, and as soon as the funds are changed, they will have to be re-budgeted, which is very undesirable for investors."

Long Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded. Now Chen Long does not have such a deep problem as in later generations, and after coming to Hollywood, this problem has basically changed, Hollywood companies with a perfect system rarely come up with those things that shoot their heads, not to mention actors, directors can't change the script at will.

Seeing Brother Long's cooperation, Li Xuechu smiled with satisfaction.

"Before the script finally comes out, it's easy to discuss, and you can say anything in advance, which is easier for both parties. Anyway, polishing the script more is only good for the movie, and when the time comes, I will copy the initial script to you Golden Harvest first, and discuss it with you if you have any opinions. ”

These words made Zou Wenhuai and Chen Long feel a lot more comfortable, and Boss Zou stretched out his hand to Li Xuechu.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"
