Chapter 15: Wang Jin's Family Feast
After talking for almost an afternoon, it was a wasted conversation. It's almost time to eat, Li Xuechu wants to go out to eat, (after coming to Xiangjiang, he basically hasn't cooked by himself, and he is too lazy to do it alone.) And Wang Fatzi enthusiastically pulled Xiao Li to his home.
"There's no money to attract investment, this is not a difficult thing, and now there are many funders in Xiangjiang who want to invest in films, local, Taiwanese, and Nanyang...... Who you want to look for, not to mention that we know a lot of people. "Wang Fatzi doesn't care about this.
Li Xuechu gave him a look away angrily, he could see that this guy was completely crazy about wanting to make a movie, but he fooled himself to pay for the script, and now that he has no money, he is estimated to be pulling himself to fool others together.
"By the way, Chu Zai, didn't you just sell two novels? How can there be no money? β
"Let me cast it into the movie." Li Xuechu smiled bitterly, "The little ghost has invested in Xinyi City, and the hangover lunch code has been taken away, it should be considered the Jiahe camp, plus this cooperation with you, the three families are alive all at once." β
"Who said I'm going to shoot Shaw Brothers?" The little fat man laughed.
"Aren't you an employee of Shaw Brothers?"
Wang Jin said with a little embarrassment: "I didn't plan to take it to Shaw Brothers, if I shoot Shaw Brothers, there is no oil and water, just take a few hard-earned money, it's not cost-effective." I'm going to look for Brother Sanmao (Hong Jinbao), or I'll go directly to Boss Zou, he used to be from Shaw Brothers and is very familiar with my father. β
Yes, take Shaw's salary to help Shaw's opponent, this guy is a typical two or five boys, eating inside and out. However, Li Xuechu has heard a little about the Shaw Brothers' way of doing things, this huge company is quite similar to the large state-owned enterprises of later generations, although there are many people, and the appearance looks much larger than the current two opponents, but the actual combat effectiveness is the weakest of the three, and it can even be said to be vulnerable. According to the trend of history, if nothing else, it will collapse in a few years.
Li Xuechu has no opinion on this, and he is not from the Shaw Brothers, so he naturally doesn't consider it if it is not cost-effective.
When he arrived at Wang Jin's house, Li Xuechu saw a big man in Xiangjiang again: Wang Jin's father Wang Tianlin, a short and chubby old man. Compared with Wang Jin, who is alive and jumping, his father seems quite stable, and Yan SΓΉ's face makes people feel quite stressed. It can be seen that Wang Jin is quite afraid of his father, and as soon as he entered the door, the original hippie smiling expression suddenly closed, which made Li Xuechu, who was originally relaxed, feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Tianlin seems to have become accustomed to disciplining his son, and before the two said a few words, Wang Tianlin began to teach his son a lesson...... Wang Jin smiled awkwardly at Li Xuechu and said, "Dad, there are guests today." β
Wang Tianlin glared at his son unhappily, but he didn't say anything about him, when he looked at Li Xuechu, his face turned into a kind face, and he put aside his son and talked to Li Xuechu. When he heard that the teenage boy in front of him was a novelist whose works were quite popular, he was also taken aback, and then he seemed to be very dissatisfied with his son, which made Li Xuechu feel a little funny.
"Look at people, and then look at yourself, a whole set of foolish ...... when you're old"
"Lao Dou," Wang Jin interrupted his father's lesson a little unhappily, "I'm fooling around, Chu Tsai and I are discussing business now." β
"Oh, what's the matter with you?"
"I'm discussing with Chu Zai about making a movie, it's a comedy, and it's going to be a hit."
"What about the script? Take it for me to see. β
"Well, it's not done yet, but it's almost there." Wang Jin glanced at Li Xuechu and said.
"It's really nonsense, what do you shoot without a script, do you think the money for making a movie is blown by the wind?"
"Didn't you say it soon? Halfway through the story, I like it a lot," Wang Jin stabbed his father, "It's much more interesting to change it to a script than Lao Dou." β
"You ......" Wang Tianlin's eyes glared.
"I'll go see if the food is ready." Feeling that he had said the wrong thing, Wang Jin immediately found an excuse to slip away.
"This little bunny." Wang Tianlin scolded lightly, and then lay down on the sand again, "It's okay to give it a try, I haven't been beaten and I can't become a talent." The tone was a little depressed.
Alone in front of an old man who didn't speak, Li Xuechu also felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'll see if there's anything I can do to help." also followed Wang Jin into the kitchen.
"Don't listen to him," Wang Jin grabbed two carrots and washed them, "His recent movie has hit the street at the box office, and now the fire is raging, catch me and scold me once." β
"Oh," Li Xuechu responded, thinking to himself: No wonder he was so depressed just now, for a director, the box office hit the street and he didn't feel good.
The early 80s was an era of great changes in Hong Kong films, when the films made by the original big-name directors were suddenly unwatched, while some new generation of directors who returned from studying in Europe and the United States showed their talents, adding some advanced elements learned from Europe and the United States to the Hong Kong films, and finally integrating them with the local culture to form the unique style of the new Hong Kong films. In just a few years, the older generation of filmmakers were quickly eliminated by the times and disappeared, and were replaced by some familiar names in later generations, such as Xu Ke, Wu Yushen, Xu Anhua, etc...... and the goods in front of him, Li Xuechu glanced at Wang Jin again.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jin probably felt that Li Xuechu's eyes were a little weird, and asked.
"Nothing." Li Xuechu also grabbed a handful of vegetables and washed them.
"Why did you all come in?" Wang Jin's daughter-in-law was busy in the kitchen, "The dishes are almost cooked, go out and sit down, don't be stuck here." ββ¦β¦
At the dinner table, except for Lao Wang, who still had a gloomy face and didn't want to speak, the atmosphere was generally relatively harmonious. Wang Jin's mother also walked back from outside with Wang Jin's daughter, who was less than a year old, and the family talked and laughed, which made Li Xuechu think of his family who couldn't meet again, and felt sad while envious.
After eating, Wang Jin secretly gave Li Xuechu a look, and said to his father and wife: "Chu Tsai and I have to go to someone today to discuss film investment, and we may come back later in the evening, don't wait for us." β
Wang Jin's wife answered, but his father was not happy: "Where are you going so late, can't you go tomorrow?" Don't go to your fox friends again, be careful of taking them badly. β
"Seriously, how can I be what you say."
Wang Jin pulled Li Xuechu and walked out, and brought the door with a "bang". Wang Tianlin's angry scolding sounded from inside the door: "I can't sit still like a spring on my butt all day." β
"Where are we going?"
"Don't ask, you'll find out." Wang Jin's face was a little excited.
said that he was looking for someone to invest, but he didn't even make a phone call, did he come directly to the door? Li Xuechu was a little curious, but he didn't ask again, anyway, he would go, and he would come back together when the time came.
The two took a taxi and arrived in a few minutes. Wang Jin paid the money, and the two got out of the car.
Li Xuechu looked at a building in front of him, and the exterior walls of the building were covered with neon lights. A huge signboard is extremely eye-catching, and several big characters composed of neon lights on the signboard are extremely conspicuous in the night: "Kowloon Emgrand - Century Nightclub"!
"This animal!" Looking at the fat man Wang next to him, who was full of color and flying face, Li Xuechu scolded secretly.
Before her daughter turned one year old, she left her wife and ran out all day long to fool around, and she also pulled investment?
It seems that he still knows his son, Mo Ruo's father!
