A moment later, Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hao had already arrived at the company, and then they were led to Han Jin's office by Zhou Huimin.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Yuan, please take a seat!" Han Jin greeted with a smile, "Amin, help the two of you make a cup of coffee." ”

"Mr. Han doesn't have to be polite, let's just drink white water." Lin Zhengying said meticulously.

Yuan Hao smiled stiffly, "Coffee is good, coffee is good." ”

"That's a cup of white water and a cup of coffee." Han Jin nodded.

Zhou Huimin agreed, turned around and walked out.

Han Jin smiled, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yuan, I invited you two over today, I want to talk about the new film." I'm sorry, because I had some things before, so I'm just looking for you now. ”

"Mr. Han doesn't have to be polite." Lin Zhengying waved his hand.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, we don't mind." Yuan Hao also waved his hand.

Han Jin nodded, "Well, the time has dragged on for a long time, I don't know if both of you still have schedules?" ”

"Yes, yes." Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Zhengying nodded.

"That's good, we'll start filming the new film right away." Han Jin said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, you will play the protagonist in the movie when the time comes." Mr. Yuan, you play the biggest villain in the movie, do you have any opinions? ”

"No, no,...... Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, "But Mr. Han, I don't know how to act, I'm afraid I can't play a villain." ”

Han Jin smiled, "Don't worry, I believe you will definitely act well." ”

As he spoke. Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei had already arrived at the company, and they couldn't help but smile when they saw Han Jin. "Boss, are you alright? That's great. Grape greeted with a smile on his face.

The king of sunglasses was also very happy, "Boss, I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound." ”

Han Jin nodded, "Thank you!" Okay, let's meet Mr. Lin and Mr. Yuan. ”

After the four of them met, Han Jin smiled, "Liu Sheng." Is the script ready? ”

"Boss. It's ready, and here, take a look. Grape said with a smile, and then handed over the script.

Han Jin nodded. Take it and look at it carefully.

A moment later. The script of tens of thousands of words has been read.

The stories written by Liu Zhenwei are not much different from those told by him. But the same script. If you give it to different directors to direct, you may make different films.

It's like everyone stir-frying according to a recipe, and some chefs stir-fry the taste is sour. Some chefs stir-fry the taste is spicy, some chefs stir-fry the food is amazing, and some chefs stir-fry the food is worse than death......

Therefore, now it is impossible to see the quality of the movie based on a script alone.

"Well, the script is there. How's the actor you got in touch with? Han Jin asked again, "Does Mr. Xu agree to act?" ”

"I have agreed, but the salary is a bit high, and he asked for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars." Liu Zhenwei nodded, and said with a frown.

Xu Guanying only played a supporting role in the film, but she had to get a salary of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. In comparison, Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hao are the leading actors, and the villain adds up to only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a little too different.

Han Jin waved his hand, "Forget it, just promise him, the one who decides the goods of a thousand gold, will not fight for the price." Don't be angry with a little money. ”

The reason why "Mr. Zombie" can be so classic, in addition to the novel theme, wonderful story, and good-looking fights, the choice of actors is also one of the main reasons.

Lin Zhengying's upright image of a zombie Taoist leader, as well as Xu Guanying's image of a disciple with a nest, all add a lot to this movie.

And Xu Guanying is also responsible for most of the funny scenes in the film, and Lin Zhengying and Lin Zhengying complement each other, which makes this film full of fun. So much so that he has always regarded himself as the protagonist of "Mr. Zombie", and even refused to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards.

Moreover, Xu Guanying is also a well-known comedy star in Hong Kong, although his status is far inferior to his eldest brother Xu Guanwen and fourth brother Xu Guanjie, but he is also a well-known comedy star, and it is understandable that the price is a little higher.

Liu Zhenwei saw that the boss said so, so he stopped persuading each other and nodded and agreed.

"Well, do you have any other questions?" Han Jin asked again.

"Boss, the role of Miss Ren was originally scheduled to be played by Miss Zeng Huaqian, but she pushed off this role a few days ago." Liu Zhenwei said again.

When Han Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he thought that he could forget this matter, but he didn't expect that it was still so painful now.

"Well, then let's change to Lan Jieyi to act." He then settled on the path of God.

Although Miss Ren is the heroine in the film, she is basically a vase, and she is not even as brilliant as the female ghost, so it doesn't matter if someone else plays it.

"Okay, then I'll try my best to contact TVB." Liu Zhenwei nodded.

"Very good, the role of Qiusheng is played by Liu Dehua, the security captain is played by Wu Qiwei, and the female ghost is played by Wu Jiali, so the main role is almost the same." Han Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Sheng, you have done your best to form the crew, and you will start filming in a few days." ”

"Okay." Liu Zhenwei said with gust of heart that this drama is his first time as a director, and he is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, and he can't wait in his heart.

Han Jin smiled, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yuan, you two should also read the script first, and you may wish to put forward any comments." ”

Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hao took the script and looked at it carefully. In fact, how can they tell whether the script is good or bad, seeing that there are zombies on it, female ghosts, plays, and funny, it is very lively when they see it, and they can't help but smile and nod.

"Mr. Han, we're fine." Yuan Hao said with a smile, "It turns out that I play a zombie, and my face is covered with powder, no wonder Mr. Han said that it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to act." ”

Han Jin also smiled, "Since there is no problem, let's start filming on an auspicious day, don't delay too much time." ”

"Good!" The four of them nodded together.

……

The crew of "Mr. Zombie" was officially announced today. This set of teams is quite different from the previous life. The first is that the actor who played Qiusheng was replaced by Qian Xiaohao to Liu Dehua; the second is that the actor who plays the security captain has been replaced by Lou Nanguang to Wu Qiwei; the third is that Miss Ren was changed from Li Saifeng to Lan Jieyuan; The fourth is that the female ghost has been replaced by Wang Xiaofeng to Wu Jiali......

To put it simply, except for the two leading actors Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying, almost all the other main supporting roles have changed. However, overall, the cast of the replacement is not inferior to the previous life.

The role of Qiusheng itself does not have much room to wield, but he is just a smart and handsome kung fu boy, and it is also suitable for Liu Dehua to play this role. Qian Xiaohao is now a member of the Hong family class after all, and it is not beneficial for Han Jin to make him popular, it is better to give this role to Liu Dehua, at least he is still his own person.

The role of the security captain was played by Lou Nanguang in his previous life, he is a famous character actor in Hong Kong. starred in a large number of films in the golden age of Hong Kong films. But without exception, they are all lewd and lustful little people.

The early comedy image is also very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but unfortunately it is a pity that he always plays the same type of role, which inevitably makes the audience a little aesthetically fatigued. and has been acting for more than ten years, and has played a lot of protagonists and supporting roles. There has been no improvement in acting.

How did you act in the 80s. In the 90s, it was still the same. After Hong Kong films fell into a period of recession, they finally fell into a situation where there were no films to make, and even fell to the point of making third-level films. It's a pretty devastating thing.

Now Lou Nanguang is also a member of the Hong family's class, and he is also very valued by Hong Jingbao, and he has played a lot of roles, big and small, and the salary is also more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although it is not expensive, Han Jin does not intend to use him, in the final analysis, he is always an outsider, even if he becomes popular, it will not be good for him. Therefore, it is better to give this role to Wu Qiwei to play, at least he still belongs to his own people.

And Han Jin is not worried that he can't play this role, Ah Ming in "Lame Hao", Weiyangsheng in "Jade Putuan", and Fang Tangjing in "Jiupin Sesame Official", they are all obscene and lecherous representatives.

As for the vase role of Miss Ren, it is also very suitable to hand it over to Lan Jie. In Han Jin's opinion, Lan Jieyuan is not a little more beautiful than Li Saifeng. More importantly, she is her own woman, and the so-called fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. And Li Saifeng is also a person from Golden Harvest, and it is not good for him to be popular.

As for the role of a female ghost, it is also suitable for Wu Jiali to play it, she is originally a well-known star in Hong Kong, and it is also suitable to play the role of a female ghost who turns everyone upside down.

……

The crew of "Mr. Zombie" was quickly formed, and Han Jin specially invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars for this drama. In addition to the 800,000 salaries of all actors, there are more than 2 million for Liu Zhenwei to squander.

The total investment in "Mr. Zombie" in the previous life was 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars, but part of the money was caused by the loss caused by the delay.

Hong Jingbao likes to gather the whole crew of brothers to "Du Qiao" when filming, that is, one person wants to add a wonderful bridge to the movie, and this creative method is called "brainstorming". The collision of various ideas naturally sparked countless sparks of inspiration.

Because of this creative mode, everyone in the Hong family class can participate in creation, so everyone can be exercised, and powerful people can naturally show their talents. In addition, Hong Jingbao is generous and righteous, and he especially likes to bring his brothers, so the Hong family class has produced a lot of talents.

But just relying on stacking bridges to shoot like this also makes his movies generally more funny and less logical. Like the "Five Lucky Stars" series, Five Lucky Stars tried their best to take advantage of women, and the scene of eating women's tofu was hilarious, but the ending part seemed very hasty, making it top-heavy and losing a lot of points overall.

In the previous life, when Lin Zhengying and others were filming "Mr. Zombie", the bridge of "stop breathing for a while, zombies can't be found" was the inspiration that everyone accidentally thought of when making games. After joining the movie, the result of the smile was very good, and after it was introduced to Taiwan, even the title of the film was changed to "Temporarily Stop Breathing", which shows how deeply rooted this bridge is.

And it is precisely because you have an idea and I have an idea during filming that everyone has added scenes to it, which not only makes this drama more beautiful, but also makes this drama more and more expensive. At first, it had a budget of HK$4.5 million, but it was filmed intermittently for 120 days, and the cost increased to HK$8.5 million.

And now that the script of the play "Mr. Zombie" has been completed, Han Jin does not allow Liu Zhenwei to add and change the scenes indiscriminately, so that he is not afraid of additional costs due to changing the play.

Moreover, Liu Zhenwei is a famous fast gunner in Hong Kong, and the comedy classic "East Becomes West" was only filmed for more than 20 days, so this "Mr. Zombie" is only a month and a half at most, which saves a lot of labor costs.

In addition, what Liu Zhenwei is good at is fighting big with small, "knife sawing big trees". In his previous life, the first drama he directed, "Fierce Ghost Pavilion", gathered stars such as Zhang Xueyou and Xu Guanying, but the cost was only one million yuan, and the final box office exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. created a miracle of low-cost ghost films in Hong Kong.

Therefore, although the cost of this "Mr. Zombie" is lower than that of the previous life, Han Jin still has great confidence in Liu Zhenwei.

After the crew was assembled, Han Jin personally commanded all the crew members to go to Wong Tai Sin Temple to pray for blessings, hoping that the filming would be smooth and the film would be happy! (To be continued!)
