Chapter 127: A world-class action star
Wu Jin has a baby face, no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that he is a powerful action star, this guy will always not be popular in the future, it can be said that this face has a lot of responsibility.
Wu Jin and his agent were very polite to Shen Zhenghui, today's meeting, 6 Yang and Yuan Xiangren were also present, Wu Jin's first movie and the important TV series masterpiece "Xiao Li Flying Knife" were filmed in cooperation with Yuan Jiaban, so Yuan Xiangren Yuan Jiaban's fame is also very good, plus Shen Zhenghui's father's status in the big 6 film and television circle, for a while, the exchange between the two sides was very warm.
Wu Jin's asking price is also not high. Although he is a popular TV series star, he also hopes to transform from TV series to film exhibitions, and with the international background of this film, he is a little uneasy when he is watched. The agent quoted a request for a salary of 5o Hong Kong dollars on his behalf, thinking that 400,000 or 300,000 could accept it.
Shen Zhenghui showed a thoughtful expression.
Wu Jin and his agent were a little uneasy.
Shen Zhenghui turned to 6 Yang and asked, "What are you talking about with Daniel Wu, Billy Zhou, and Yugali Oshima?" ”
6 Yang was stunned for a moment, took out a note from his arms and handed it to Shen Zhenghui.
Daniel Wu 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, Billy Zhou 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Oshima was packed up by the Gali couple 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. At this price, the corners of Shen Zhenghui's mouth twitched. Zhuxing Kazuya next to him also saw this note, and his face was a little strange.
Wu Jin's agent, Miss Huang, hurriedly said, "This price can be negotiated, otherwise 400,000 yuan can also be used." ”
Shen Zhenghui put the note away. "Mr. Wu, I believe in your strength very much, our film is a very hardcore action movie, so in terms of action design, you see, Mr. Yuan Xiangren will be the action director, and you are old friends. We have high requirements for action, because this is the selling point of this film, and we have also gathered a lot of powerful action stars, and you are the representative of the big 6 action stars in my mind. ”
What else did Miss Huang want to say? When he heard this, he stopped.
Wu Jin nodded a little flattered.
"So there are a lot of action scenes in this film. It's also very important that I need our action actors not only to communicate with the action director, but also to communicate with each other, and it is better to learn from each other. There's also a Thai actor coming over this afternoon. He is a Muay Thai master. In the movie, we hope to be able to show the confrontation of different types of martial arts and kung fu of various genres, and there can be a kind of fierce fighting. So," he paused. "It's going to be very hard to shoot, and I think you're going to think it's going to be the hardest film you've ever made, except if you're going to be a director in the future."
Wu Jin nodded vigorously, "No problem." ”
"Okay, let's talk about the treatment." Shen Zhenghui paused, "There is no problem with the offer of 500,000 yuan. ”
Miss Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
"But," she immediately became nervous again, "I think it might be hard for you to be an actor and involved in action design, and I want to give you a double opening." ”
"A million?" Miss Huang felt that happiness had come to her, and Wu Jin was also a little dizzy for a while.
"But considering the balance with other actors, I can only get 6o thousand, which is the most, so you should consider the balance of the crew." Shen Zhenghui said, then turned his head and said to 6 Yang, "If the box office is good, give them a red envelope." ”
6 Yang nodded, and all of a sudden, Shen Zhenghui's heroic image was established, in fact, all the salaries added up to less than one million US dollars, which was less than the cost to Yuan Jiaban, even if Tony Jia's salary in the afternoon was added.
"Ah, by the way, after the Thai actors come in the afternoon, I hope you can start living together and have a good exchange." He asked Kazuya Zhuxing, "How is the place arranged?" ”
"Speaking of which, I was just about to tell you!" Zhu Xinghe also had an expression that because you mentioned this, I just remembered something, "Originally, I wanted to arrange to go to a fitness club in Pengcheng to do the preliminary training arrangements, but yesterday I happened to talk to Liu Tianwang about this matter, and he warmly invited our entire crew to his house." ”
"To his house?"
"It's not the whole crew, it's just that the pre-martial arts guidance and training work can be put in his house, his house has a complete set of fitness equipment, venues, etc., anyway, it can definitely accommodate the preparatory work, and the important thing is that he is willing to lend us free of charge."
Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised, "Do we want to save so much?" ”
Zhu Xinghe also coughed, "You also have to consider that we still have so many employees living in Hong Kong after all, and we should also give them a chance to stay at home for a few more days." ”
Shen Zhenghui turned his head to look at Yuan Xiangren, Yuan Xiangren touched his beard, "We don't care, we can all be in the north and the south, but if it's Brother Andy's home, it's really a good place." I remember he had a boxing ring there, and his dance studio was huge, so it was a good place to use it as a movement design venue. ”
"It seems that we really can't refuse Liu Tianwang's kindness, so let's talk to him about the investment again, remove the estimated cost of our rented premises from the investment, and tell him that there is no need to save money for us, there is no need." Shen Zhenghui said to Zhu Xinghe.
At this time, he stood up, Wu Jin and his agent on the opposite side also stood up, Shen Zhenghui shook hands with him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm busy here, you can find Mr. Zhuxing Kazuya for anything, of course, Mr. Yuan, you are also very familiar, you can also find him for anything." Before the film officially starts shooting, we will have about a month to make preliminary preparations in Hong Kong, during which you leading actors will have a period of physical training, which is in charge of Mr. Yuan, and you should also take advantage of this time to have a good exchange. ”
Wu Jin nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time signaled to Zhuxing and Yuan Xiangren.
Shen Zhenghui finally said to Yuan Xiangren, "The specific matter will trouble you, Mr. Yuan." If you have any questions, you can contact Mr. Kazuya Zhuxing directly, or you can contact me directly, but I am probably busy with other things during this time, and I hope you can do a good job of preliminary preparations. ”
Yuan Xiangren had a confident expression.
"Mr. Wu, please come here when you greet Tony Jia in the afternoon." Shen Zhenghui said this, Wu Jin just nodded, he turned to 6 Yang and Yuan Xiangren and continued, "It's better to take this opportunity to hand over Daniel, Billy, and Oshima's family together in the evening, and everyone will have a meal together, which can be regarded as a meeting of all the main creators." Of course. I'm not going. Shen Zhenghui patted 6 Yang, "As the director in charge, I've worked hard for you." ”
6 Yang was excited, "No problem. ”
"That's right. Now that the people have been gathered. Let's start training tomorrow and go to Andygo's place. Shen Zhenghui glanced at Zhuxing Kazuya, "Contact Brother Andy and see when it is convenient for him there." Let's adjust the time. ”
Zhu Xinghe also immediately picked up the phone.
Shen Zhenghui said hello and left, in the car outside, the driver, Wang Bin and Wang Jun were waiting for him, and Zhu Xinghe was talking to Brother Andy on the phone while following behind Shen Zhenghui.
"Okay, go to the bank." Shen Zhenghui said.
Zhu Xinghe also informed Shen Zhenghui of the feedback that Brother Andy said that there would be no problem at his house tomorrow, and at the same time, Brother Andy said that he wanted to meet Shen Zhenghui again, so everyone was scheduled to meet again at Brother Andy's house tomorrow, and Zhu Xinghe also informed them of the situation to 6 Yang, so that they could arrange work directly.
Shen Zhenghui and his party want to go to the bank to check the accounts, if this is ten years later, Shen Zhenghui only needs to be in front of the computer to complete this matter. But now there is no room for sloppiness, and Shen Zhenghui and his entourage have to run several banks, in addition to confirming the investment in this movie, they also have to confirm whether the money from Fukuda Mitsumi to buy stocks has come.
Cars were driving on the streets, and traffic in Hong Kong was surprisingly smooth. It is said that this is due to the fact that there is a lot of shared transportation, and there is less traffic on bicycles and electric vehicles, which is less of a hindrance to urban traffic.
Shen Zhenghui ran down one bank after another, and finally the last bank was finished, and it was time for lunch. Zhu Xinghe also asked the car to drive to a random restaurant to prepare for dinner, and just as the car was driving smoothly, Zhu Xinghe also reported to Shen Zhenghui a little nervously, "We seem to be being followed." ”
Following Shen Zhenghui and their car was an ordinary Toyota urban off-road vehicle, the glass with reflective film could not see whether the driver was a man or a woman, the driver was very alert, and the car repeatedly appeared behind his car to deepen the driver's impression. When the driver pays attention and makes sure that the car is following behind him, it is now.
Zhu Xinghe was also nervous because he knew that Shen Zhenghui had been attacked by thugs in Hong Kong, although no one was injured. Wang Bin and Wang Jun don't have this kind of awareness, and Wang Bin is still strange - what are you doing with us?
Zhu Xinghe also picked up the phone, "I'll call Xiang Sheng and ask?" His eyes drifted to Shen Zhenghui.
Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "No." He said calmly, "Go to dinner, and then go to the airport to pick up Tonija." After saying that, he closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the back of the chair, not caring at all, in fact, he was thinking in his heart, who is bored with me? At worst, there are other traversers who show up on their own. Ever since he and Mitsumi Fukuda recognized each other that night, he had been extremely sensitive to this issue, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would think more about it.
After eating a meal unwillingly, Shen Zhenghui also instructed Wang Bin and Wang Jun to pay attention to safety, and sent them back to the hotel first, and then drove to the airport. This time, there were no tracking vehicles on the road at the airport. Shen Zhenghui breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and then became a little nervous, if the stalker was not coming for himself, but for other people-such as his uncle Wang Bin and cousin Wang Jun, wouldn't it be even more of a headache, it seemed that he was going to find a bodyguard. Shen Zhenghui thought to himself.
Tony Ja and Pana. Zhitiklai arrived in Hong Kong on time, Pana. Zhitiklai is Tony Ja's master, and he is also a well-known action star and action director in Thailand. In addition to learning Muay Thai from him, Tony Ja also learned cinematic techniques from him. This time, Kasuga-dori Guò Kadokawa found the master and apprentice, and the two of them had a feeling of being hit by a lucky star, and they were going to shoot an action blockbuster with Hong Kong filmmakers, as well as Japanese and Chinese Big 6 filmmakers, which was tantamount to winning the jackpot for two people who were shooting small-budget films in Thailand.
The Thai people are quite polite, and Tony and Phra Na met Shen Zhenghui and Zhu Xing Kazuya who came to pick them up. First, they bowed with their hands together, so Shen Zhenghui and Zhu Xinghe also questioned them with their hands, and then the two sides shook hands again. The interpreter Kazuya found began to help the two sides communicate. Tony and Para are both dark and thin, looking malnourished, but the ** under the cover of the clothes are hard muscles.
Neither Thais brought a broker, maybe they don't have one yet. So after getting in the car, Shen Zhenghui briefly introduced the plot through the translator, mentioned the requirements for action, and at the same time raised the level of remuneration, and the two Thais can get a salary of 8o thousand Hong Kong dollars together in this film. The crew provided them with a translator free of charge. This translator understands Thai, Cantonese and Mandarin as well as Japanese.
The two Thais were extremely satisfied with this treatment, and even said that they were simply too satisfied with it. Pana even said that he could participate in filming without money, in order to learn the skills of filming director.
Shen Zhenghui himself is really embarrassed to black-heartedly exploit these two kind-hearted Thai friends, and Tony Jia has become one of the world's top action stars in Asia after "Boxer" 1, 2, and 3. The salary was raised to $3oo. 2ooo more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. But that was ten years later, and now that Shen Zhenghui gave him 4o, he still feels that he has earned it.
Sent two Thais to the location of the crew. After explaining to Yuan Xiangren and 6 Yang, Shen Zhenghui was about to prepare for a dinner with Li Zekai in the evening. When Pana and Tony heard that Yuan Xiangren was a member of the famous Yuan family class, and after teaching Jack Cheng and Jet Lee, they were so excited that Wu Jin's status as a national martial arts champion made them almost want to compete right away. Hong Kong filmmakers and Big 6 filmmakers are also very interested in Muay Thai, and the two sides briefly compared their movements, and the atmosphere is already eager. Shen Zhenghui patted 6 Yang on the shoulder, handed over everything to him, and left Zhu Xinghe behind by the way.
Shen Zhenghui went out alone and got into the car, and before going to the banquet, he took a casual stroll, and by the way, he thought about how the dinner party in the evening should be discussed.
The car hadn't gone far before the driver shouted anxiously in front, "Mr. Shen, the morning car is following us again." ”
"Is it really for me?" Shen Zhenghui thought to himself, "Go to Central." He said.
The driver circled a big circle in the middle, this Toyota was like a young novice in Shen Zhenghui stretched out his hand to follow closely, Shen Zhenghui's phone had already called Zhu Xinghe, and the license plate number was also reported to him, and after a while, Zhu Xinghe also called back, "It's a car rental company." He said.
Car rental companies, is it really to disguise their identity? Shen Zhenghui thought to himself, seeing that the building of the Hong Kong head office of the Bank of China was in front of him, and the villain's place to eat was not far from Hennessy Road, Shen Zhenghui patted the back of the driver's seat and said to him, "Stop outside the bank." ”
The driver obediently parked the car outside the bank, and Shen Zhenghui got out of the car with his bag and walked into the bank. The Toyota that followed it also parked closely outside the bank.
Shen Zhenghui went to the bank and then went to the toilet, put on the suit and tie he was carrying in his bag, put on a pair of glasses, dressed like a financial practitioner, and re-shaped himself in the water, feeling that he was a little different from the appearance just now, so he walked out of the side door and quietly approached the Toyota.
There was only one driver in the Toyota car, who was staring seriously at the business car that sent Shen Zhenghui over, Shen Zhenghui approached the window of the Toyota, and his eyes narrowed and he actually saw that the driver's seat was Fujido Xiangcheng.
The tension in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he stepped forward and knocked on the window hard.
Fujido Xiangcheng in the car was so frightened that she almost screamed, and it took a long time before she pulled down the window with some embarrassment.
"Why are you here?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"Hehe......"
"Don't play dumb and say, why are you here?"
"Uh, I'm sent by President Fukuda to protect you!" Fujido Kazuki said bluntly.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Protect you in secret!"
"Okay, it's not like telling a lie."
"Huh? Is it obvious? ”
"I wasn't sure just now, but now I can be sure."
Fujido Kazuki looked depressed.
So what she said later was for Qingnuma Zhizhao to stare at Shen Zhenghui or something, but Shen Zhenghui didn't believe it.
"You're just causing me trouble like this, making me think I'm being targeted by some underworld again, okay, I know, I won't trouble you, I'll ask Mitsumi Fukuda when I go back."
"It's none of the president's business, it's what I want to keep an eye on you."
"What are you staring at me?"
"I ......"
"Don't say you like me, I'm not interested in a little girl like you."
"No, didn't you say last time you were going to use me as an action movie actress? I see if you've forgotten. ”
Shen Zhenghui slapped his forehead, "Okay, I know, since you are here, then be my driver." Stay here and don't move. He walked over and told the driver arranged by Zhuxing Kazuya about the situation and asked him to go back. Then he called Zhuxing Kazuya and briefly explained the matter, and after walking back, he sat directly in the passenger seat of the Toyota, and said to Fujido Kazuki, "Since you are my bodyguard, then accompany me to the dinner!" ”
Saying that, he looked at Fujido Xiangcheng's dress, she was wearing a close-fitting black suit, dressed like an underworld man in a movie, if she put on a mustache, she really looked like a small man, "You dress up really carefully." ”
Fujido Kazuki was concerned with another question, "What dinner?" (To be continued!)
