Shen Chong didn't come alone, he brought seven or eight people, except for Luo Weiming, the editor-in-chief of "Film Times", and Qiu Siyu, the secretary, the rest were all foreigners, men, women and children, there were two guys, and they were holding plastic cups in their hands, containing Hong Kong snacks such as fish balls, and they were full of attractive fragrances.

"Brother Sanmao, Director Wu." After Shen Chong came up, he first shook hands with the two courtiers of Jiahe, and said politely: "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, and I am really sorry to delay for a while." ”

"Nothing."

"Mr. Shen is polite."

After the greetings, Shen Chong didn't explain much, he asked Zhang Jiazhen to arrange for the boatman to drive the boat, and then stood at the bow of the boat, chatting and laughing, serving as a tour guide for a few foreigners, pointing out the scenery of Victoria Harbor.

John Woo and Sammo Hung secretly wondered that on this ship, except for the two of them, the rest were staff members of Oriental Charm, but none of them knew the purpose of Shen Chong's meeting on the ship.

After looking at each other, Sammo Hung took out his cigarette case and found his old acquaintance Luo Weiming: "Old Luo, Mr. Shen is holding a meeting this time, what kind of fame."

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Luo Weiming took the cigarette and said, "I came to see the excitement at the right time." ”

Chen Xinjian also came up, raised his chin, gestured, and asked, "Who are those ghosts?" ”

"They are masters specially invited by Shen Caishen from Hollywood."

Chen Xinjian shook his fingers, flicked off the cigarette ash, and asked: "After inviting so many foreigners, it seems that the investment in the new drama is not small." ”

"That's a lot of people?" Luo Weiming laughed, stretched out his thumb and little finger, shook it, and said: "You underestimate Shen Caishen too much, these are just a few of the leaders, he invited more than 60 people from Hollywood to Hong Kong." ”

When Wu Yusen heard this, his eyes condensed, staring at the back of the bow of the boat, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that this drama has invested tens of millions of dollars, is it true?" ”

"I don't know exactly how much to invest." Luo Weiming said: "I am from a magazine company, not a film company, so I know where to figure it out." ”

"Come on, Lao Luo." Sammo Hung has been interviewed by "Film Times" several times, knowing that he is Bai Xiaosheng, and said with a smile: "You are in a magazine, and any changes in Hong Kong movies can't escape your ears and eyes, give us a thorough understanding." ”

"If it's a small fight, of course I know, but at the level of Shen Caishen, if he doesn't say it, no one will be able to inquire about it." Luo Weiming spread his hands and said helplessly: "Lin Xingzhi, the owner of Hong Kong Economic Journal, is so powerful, known as the most well-informed person in Hong Kong, but before Li Ka-shing bought Hutchison Whampoa, did he know? ”

"It's also said that small people like us can't hear the sound of the sky." Chen Xinjian smiled self-deprecatingly, comforted Wu Yusen and said, "Don't guess, since Mr. Shen asked you to come by name, there must be an arrangement." ”

Wu Yusen was full of worries, smoked silently, bowed his head and said nothing.

He didn't have a good time at Golden Harvest, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to film Shen Chong to turn over in one fell swoop, and shoot some of the scenes he wanted to shoot in the future - now everyone in Hong Kong is rumoring that Shen Chong is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, not only will he make money, but also can help others make money, as long as the people he fancies, there is no one who is not popular, such as Xu Anhua, such as Wang Jing, they are all unknown juniors who have never filmed, and overnight, they became famous in Southeast Asia and became a hot famous director......

But now, with so many Hollywood people, I don't know if there is still a chance to be a director.

After a while, the boat sailed to the middle of Victoria Harbour, where it lowered its degree and cruised slowly.

Shen Chong looked at his watch, then turned around, faced the cabin, clapped his hands, and said, "Everyone, it's almost time, let's have a meeting now." ”

Everyone found a seat and sat down, and Qiu Siyu stood aside to translate.

"Before the meeting, let me introduce you to you." Shen Chong pointed to the white man sitting at the front and introduced, "This is Mr. Gary Kurtz, who will be the executive producer of our company's new film. ”

Gary Kurtz, a tall, handsome, middle-aged white man, stood up, folded his hands, and made a bowing motion, eliciting a good-natured laugh.

After Luo Weiming pronounced his name twice, he said in surprise: "It's actually him?" ”

Sammo Hung, who was sitting on his right, heard it and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"Star Wars knows, right?"

"Who doesn't know, Hollywood's big production has a global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, and one movie is more than our Hong Kong movie box office in a whole year

"This person" Luo Weiming nodded with his finger and said, "It's the executive producer of Star Wars." ”

When Sammo Hung heard this, he was in awe, he smacked his lips and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Shen Chong introduced several other foreigners, set designers, props masters, blasters, sound effects engineers, stuntmen, etc., the names are long and short, Sammo Hung was dizzy to hear it, and he didn't remember a name.

"Brother Sanmao, Director Wu, please come over for a moment." Shen Chong beckoned, motioned for the two to step forward, and then introduced them to the foreigner: "This is Sammo Hung, Bruce Lee's friend, and his kung fu is very good; This is John Woo, one of the best directors in Hong Kong. ”

Sammo Hung and John Woo both spoke English roughly, listened enthusiastically, bowed indiscriminately, and then hurriedly walked back to their seats - in 1979, these two had not yet mixed up anything worth mentioning, Shen Chong's praise was too much, foreigners didn't know it, and the acquaintances sitting below knew the details.

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, then I'll get down to business." After the introduction, Shen Chong turned sideways, pointed to a skyscraper standing on Hong Kong Island, and said: "The main content of the new movie is to blow up this building. ”

Wu Yusen hadn't calmed down his chaotic mood yet, he looked in the direction of Shen Chong's finger and almost jumped up.

Luo Weiming asked loudly: "Boss, the direction of your finger is the Recreation Building?" ”

"Lao Luo has good eyesight." Shen Chong gave him a thumbs up and said with certainty: "That's right, it's the Kangle Building." ”

There was a loud discussion in the cabin, all kinds of buzzing, and several foreigners also exchanged heads and whispered exchanges, it seemed that they had just learned about Shen Chong's intentions.

Luo Weiming threw away the cigarette butt and said loudly: "That's the Connaught Building"

"I know." Shen Chong reported a series of figures: "Connaught Building, a property of Hongkong Land, a landmark building in Hong Kong, completed in 1973, with a floor and 175 meters, is the tallest building in Asia. ”

Luo Weiming swallowed hard, endured and endured, and finally said what he wanted to say: "Boss, you're not crazy, are you?" ”

"Do you think I'm crazy?"

Luo Weiming naturally knew that Shen Chong said that the bombing of the building was not a real bombing, but even if it was a fake bombing of a movie, it was not a simple matter, he said: "Kangle Building is one of the most expensive office buildings in Asia, and the customers are all world-class companies like Citibank. ”

"I don't know how to blow it." Shen Chong shook his head with a smile, circled the group of foreigners with his hand, and said, "But they know how to blow up."

Zeng Lizhen was embarrassed, and also asked: "Boss, do you have to blow up the Kangle Building?" ”

At this time, there have never been fashion action movies with urban themes in Hong Kong, and there are only a few sporadic police and gangster films, and they only shoot some small scenes in the streets and alleys.

"Don't worry, the rent of the Recreation Building is very expensive, I won't do anything I'm not sure about, in case the flowers and plants are blown up, I can't afford to pay for it." After Shen Chong teased himself, he asked Wu Yusen: "Director Wu, do you think you can blow it up?" ”

"Indoor explosions can be filmed on set." John Woo, who has a wealth of experience, said: "With the help of professional set designers and stuntmen in Hollywood, I don't think it's a problem. ”

"Look, Lao Luo, so people can be directors, you can only be an editor." Shen Chong teased him again, and then continued: "It's not difficult to explode, it's the exterior that is difficult. ”

He walked to the side, gave up his vision, and pointed and said: "If there is an explosion in the Recreation Building, the police will definitely be deployed below, and there will be many onlookers at the same time, and this is Central, every inch of land is expensive, the flow of people is dense, and there is a lot of traffic on the opposite road, how to shoot the real scene is a problem, so I rented this boat and asked you to study more and find a feasible way." ”

John Wu stood up, took two steps, stood in front of the window, and frowned as he looked at the busy docks and crowded buildings below the Recreation Building

Others followed suit, finding their own positions and observing.

Luo Weiming's mind was not on making movies, he watched it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, you say let's talk about it, just talk about blowing up the building, but what kind of story is this movie about?" ”

"The story is simple." Shen Chong raised his hand, motioned to the secretary Qiu Siyu to bring the briefcase, took out a stack of printer paper, picked one out, handed it to him, and briefly introduced: "A little policeman on Lamma Island, who went to the Recreation Building to see his fiancée, unexpectedly encountered a terrorist robbery, the little policeman was alone, killed them, and finally hugged the beauty, how about it, it's very cliché, right?" ”

"It's really cheesy." Luo Weiming glanced twice, and saw that the synopsis of the story on the text was the same as what Shen Chong said, so he didn't look at it carefully, rolled it up casually, and said, "There's no need to put the play in the Recreation Building, right?" The building you bought is not very suitable, and your own property is not surrounded by the main road, so it is convenient to save money and shoot it. ”

"My small building is a mediocre and obscure street girl, and the Recreation Building is a charming and famous Oiran girl." Shen Chong smiled and said, "Take off your pants, choose one of the two, who do you say you want to go to?" ”

"Boss, you're so vulgar." Luo Weiming laughed and said, "Anyway, you have a lot of money, burn it slowly, I see what kind of Oiran you burn." By the way, what is the name of this play? ”

"What do you think of the name Die Hard? Mighty or not? ”
