Chapter 20: The Wooing of the Hong Family Class
Hong Jinbao didn't let the family wait longer, explained a few words to the crew, asked Lin Zhengying to preside over the overall situation, and went out to meet the guests. There are many talents who can direct and act in the Hong family's class, and the crew doesn't have to stop when they walk away for a while, and there is nothing to feel uneasy.
When I walked to the living room, I saw Wang Jin and a young man sitting in a guest chair with their heads bowed and whispering.
"Golden Boy!"
"Brother Sanmao," Wang Jin and Li Xuechu saw Hong Jinbao walk in, and hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Just sit down, you're all so familiar and don't need to be so polite." Hong Jinbao's voice is quite loud, giving people a hearty feeling, but Hong Jinbao's personality is indeed relatively straightforward, and he rarely speaks with bends.
"You are Mr. Li, I heard that I was a young talent, but I still can't believe it, Mr. Li is not simple." Hong Jinbao was really surprised by Li Xuechu's youth, this age should still be the age of middle school, right? "When I was Mr. Li's age, I was still playing tricks in the martial arts team."
This is a polite remark, Hong Jinbao participated in a movie at the age of twelve or thirteen, and the Hong family class was formed in his early twenties, although he is only in his early thirties, his qualifications and achievements in the industry are not low, and Chen Long is still his junior brother.
"Brother Sanmao praised it falsely, in fact, I have wanted to visit Brother Sanmao for a long time, and I have been busy with Jinzai for a few days before the movie." Li Xuechu said politely, "Brother Sanmao will call me Chuzai, everyone calls me that." "The film industry in Xiangjiang is still relatively traditional, especially the martial arts team. The way of speaking always reminded Li Xuechu of the later Republic of China film and television dramas, but when he came, he could only follow the local customs.
"What's late, it's just something I said a few days ago." Hong Jinbao waved his hand and didn't care, and then said: "Then I'll call you Chuzai by how old you are, you are now cooperating with Jinzai to make a movie, right?" ”
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Are you interested in joining the Hong family class? We don't lack anything else now, but we don't lack talents like you. Hong Jinbao didn't do too much politeness, and directly threw out an olive branch, "Our Hong family class has been established for more than ten years, whether it is the connections in the circle or the internal conditions in Xiangjiang, I dare not say that it is one of the best, but it will definitely not be bad, if you are interested in the film industry, you may as well come to us, you can learn a lot of things, it will be very beneficial to you in the future, if you want to do it alone in a few years, I will not stop you." ”
Referring to later generations, Li Xuechu knew that this was not a fool, and the Hongjiaban was indeed a more ideal partner to cooperate with, and now unless Jiahe or Xinyicheng is directly wooed, the Hongjiaban and the Chen Jiaban that are about to be formed will become some climates in Xiangjiang. Chen Long's Chen family class fell apart due to internal discord within a few years of its formation, and although the Hong family class slowly declined in later generations, it was mainly due to the lack of movie themes, and the more they filmed, the worse they became, and there was no money to make, and the internal was actually quite harmonious, and there was no intrigue. Hong Jinbao is also a good boss, and the members didn't have any stumbling blocks when they wanted to leave to find a way out, and they also helped people a lot with their relationships, and they had a first-class reputation in the circle.
In fact, thinking about it, I and the Hong family class are quite complementary.
However, Li Xuechu still doesn't want to join others to help people do things, especially the martial arts team, there are more rules than anywhere, although others value themselves and may be able to ask for some privileges, but others will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they look at it, or simply cooperate freely.
"Brother Sanmao, in fact, I don't know much about the movie industry, and I'm interested, but I'm not ready to go deeper. And I'm still used to being freer on my own. I have also registered a film company now, and I plan to write some scripts in the future and then find someone to cooperate in filming, just like working with Ah Jin now, if Brother Sanmao is interested, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”
"That's it!" Hong Jinbao lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Since Chu Zai said this, there is no way, after all, this matter cannot be forced, if Chu Zai is interested in the future, remember that our Hong family class is welcome at any time." ”
Li Xuechu thanked him, but he couldn't pull people in, although Hong Jinbao was a little unwilling, he immediately let go, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and it will be a long time in the future. Later, a few people chatted about some things in the film industry, Hong Jinbao has been in the industry for a long time, and he has been in contact with many people, even with the former kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong. Knowing a lot of interesting anecdotes in the circle, Wang and Li listened to them with relish.
After chatting for a while, Wang and Li got up to say goodbye, and Hong Jinbao didn't do much to keep it, after all, the movie was still filming, and he had a lot of things to do, so he got up and sent the two out.
When he arrived at the door, Hong Jinbao told Li Xuechu that "The Drunken Hero", which he participated in the investment with the script, would be filmed in three or four days, and invited Li Xuechu and Wang Jin to come to the finale banquet. Li Xuechu was stunned for a while.
"Hong Jiaban started filming too fast, right?" Li Xuechu said to Wang Jin.
"We're not slow, if we don't count the preliminary preparations, our play will be completed in about 20 days." Wang Jin said triumphantly, "If you want to compare, my Wang has never been afraid of anyone, if it weren't for my pioneering work, I could have been faster." ”
"What's there to be proud about?" Li Xuechu glanced at the fat man angrily, "Don't make a bad movie, if no one watches it at that time, what's the use of you shooting fast?" ”
"I don't know that? But we just have such a little money, how can we afford to spend it if we don't shoot quickly? As soon as the camera is turned on, the money is flowing, and some things are not sloppy at all. Do you think I don't want to shoot better? It's all money. Wang Fatzi complained.
Li Xuechu didn't say anything anymore, and if he didn't enter the crew, he wouldn't know how the money was burned. There are a few brothers and Wu Yaohan who have good acting skills in the king of big words, and other TV shoots are passable, but if you make movies, your acting skills are not enough, Li Xuechu feels that some of the tricks in later generations are better than some of the current TV actors. The expressions are all kinds of blunt, which makes Li Xuechu, who is used to watching movies in later generations and likes to be picky about his acting skills, feel a little unbearable. It seems that the times are indeed advancing, and although there are rumors of unspoken rules and relationships in later generations, the overall level of actors is indeed much higher than now.
Wang Fatzi seems to have a natural sense of smell for cost control, shoot better if you invest more, shoot sloppy if you invest less, and rarely appear more than ten or twenty times in a row, if it doesn't work, just turn off the camera and let the actor practice a few times, and then pick a shot that feels similar and let it go.
"Don't worry, I have the bottom in my heart, I won't shoot it badly, if you don't believe it, you will know it when you see it, it's definitely not bad." Wang Fatzi comforted Li Xuechu a few words.
"I hope so." Having said that, Li Xuechu believed it, at least the movies made by Wang Fatzi were acceptable compared to the current overall level of Xiangjiang, but thinking about the original works of later generations, I felt a little violent. The level of the films shot by Hong Jiaban should be higher than that of Wang Fatzi, after all, there are many old actors and rich experience in it, but there must be a gap with later generations.
Now I can only look forward to Wu Yushen's "Home Alone", although I feel that it is always a bit inconsistent for a master of violent aesthetics to make comedies, but he is a master anyway, and he has also made comedies for a few years.
I heard a few people in Xinyicheng say that Wu Yushen originally came to shoot with his own script, and he was a little unhappy at first after being asked to shoot the ghost first, but after reading the script, he didn't say anything, and he had a lot of time to prepare in the early stage, and he only started filming two days ago, and the filming was not fast, which made everyone in Xinyicheng a little dissatisfied, but Li Xuechu was relieved. It's good to slow down, not to mention the staggering with his other works, and slow work and meticulous work, maybe this one may catch up with or Echizen, at least the original director Li Xuechu has never heard of it.
Thinking of the master of violent aesthetics, maybe his next work is to be filmed by him?
After writing four comedies in a row, Li Xuechu didn't want to write comedies anymore for the time being, so this time he picked a favorite action drama to write - Killer Leon. This emotional drama dressed in an action movie, maybe only Wu Yushen can shoot it in Xiangjiang now: a murder scene filled with unique beauty, a killing plot like art, a killer who is indifferent on the outside and a fiery on the inside, a dangerous and ** villain policeman, and the ** Lolita complex that pervades the whole film...... At least for now, only Wu Yushen can handle these in Xiangjiang.
