"Thank you, Ah Jing." When it comes to this, if Wang Guxian still doesn't understand Lin Jing's good intentions, then she really has an elm head, "I will play with my heart in the future, no matter what kind of role it is." ”

"When choosing a role, you still have to be serious, you have to ask what kind of role and what kind of movie it is, and don't shoot everything. Usually pay careful attention, the current atmosphere in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is not very good, but the black can be very messy, don't be deceived by others at that time. Lin Jing said, thinking that her words might scare this 17-year-old girl who was not deeply involved in the world, so she slowed down her tone, "But don't worry too much, your mother is watching over, and our company will also pay close attention, no matter what, it won't let you have anything to do." ”

"Hehe, did you say that you missed one?" Wang Guxian stuck out his little tongue and said with a smile.

"Who else?" Lin Jing was stunned for a moment and said.

"Yourself." Wang Guxian pointed at Lin Jing and replied, "Oh, by the way, this "Police Story" script looks pretty good, who are you going to invite to be the leading actor?" ”

Now that the script has been written, and he has booked the role of the heroine, Wang Guxian naturally began to care about the selection of the role of this movie.

"Brother, Rong Shao, Hong Xinbao...... Oh, and that very funny Liang Jiahui? Wang Guxian began to count the actors that he and Lin Jing were more familiar with.

"This "Police Story" is different from ordinary police and bandit movies, the actor needs good skills, brother, Rong Shao and Jiahui they don't know kung fu. Although the acting skills are good, I can't shoot the kind of realism I want. ”

The original version of "Police Story" was created by Cheng Long and Cheng Jiaban desperately, and ordinary actors and stars couldn't do it at all.

An actor with good kung fu. There are not many places in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but if you want box office appeal, you can count them in the palm of your hand. Cheng Long is the most popular, Hong Xinbao is not bad, and Yuan Biao's momentum in the past two years is also good. In addition, Jet Li, who entered the Xiangjiang River like a dragon crossing the river with a "Shaolin Temple" the year before last, is also very good.

"And who are you going to give it to?" Wang Guxian asked, "It can't be Hong Xinbao, right?" ”

Among these few people. In terms of relationship, Hong Xinbao is undoubtedly the most advantageous. And the cooperation between Time and Space Film Studio and Hong Xinbao is also the most, just like "Mr. Zombie", which is still in the production of Zuò recently, not only Hong Jiaban is behind the scenes. Hong Xinbao is also the producer, and Lin Zhengying, one of the pillars of the Hong family's class, is the leading actor.

However, although Wang Guxian guessed that it was Hong Xinbao, he thought that if Hong Xinbao played the leading role, he would play the policeman. Wearing a serious police uniform, but with a big belly. is also known as a jealous and hateful policeman, she can't help but laugh out loud.

"Uncle Sanmao's acting as a policeman is indeed funny, so let's leave it to Cheng Long." Lin Jing was infected by Wang Guxian's laughter, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles.

Although Lin Jing's words are so, in fact, "Police Story" is not Cheng Long. The reason why Cheng Long is still included in the first target candidate is due to many reasons.

So far this year, there are almost 90 cinemas in Hong Kong, large and small. There are only 13 of them.

This is still Lin Jing almost all of her income in the past two years, plus a large loan from the bank by mortgaging Time and Space Film Studio and Time and Space Records. Finally, it was barely rented from the Shaw Brothers who began to gradually suspend production and liquidate the finishing work.

As for the remaining ten or so Shaw Brothers, firstly, Lin Jing lacked funds and could not afford to rent them, and secondly, Shaw Brothers was unwilling to hand over all the theaters to one person in a short period of time, and left some in hand to wait and see.

Although the 13 theaters rented are all 100 large theaters, it is impossible for Time and Space Cinema to rely on these 13 cinemas to achieve the same world as Shaw Brothers did before, and Golden Harvest and New Art City.

Moreover, although the space-time cinema no longer has to be controlled by others because it has its own cinema line, it is necessary to further grow, on the one hand, it is necessary to work hard to show itself, and on the other hand, it is best to reach out and strive for cooperation with Golden Harvest and New Art City.

As the saying goes, if you don't want to have more than one enemy, then turn a potential enemy into a friend or partner.

In fact, if she could, Lin Jing planned to consider the issue of cinemas after the time and space film studio was exhibited, and she didn't want to lease Shaw Brothers' cinemas so early. Because the current space-time film studio has only been established for a long time, the talent reserve is insufficient, and the movies produced by themselves every year are simply not enough to make the theaters they have run at full capacity.

There are empty theaters, but there are not enough films to provide, which is really a big waste.

But Lin Jing couldn't help but do it, because in her memory, Debao, which Hong Xinbao and Cen Jianxun co-founded, would soon be acquired by Pan Disheng. After the wealthy Pan Disheng acquired Debao, he quickly included all of the Shaw Brothers' cinema chains. Then it was able to grow rapidly, and it really divided the world with Golden Harvest and New Art City.

The plan to cooperate with Golden Harvest and New Arts City is not only to build a good relationship so that these potential opponents will not stumble in secret, but also to introduce films from Golden Harvest and New Art City to supplement the current shortage of film production in time and space film studios.

Bringing in and showing the two of them, although it makes a lot less money than the self-made Zuò films, is better than leaving the theater chain vacant and losing money.

Of course, Lin Jing will not lure the wolf into the house in vain.

The script of "Police Story" is very good, and Lin Jing believes that Cheng Long will not be able to resist its temptation.

And that's exactly what happened.

After the decline of comedy kung fu films in the early Republic of China, Cheng Long has been looking for a way out for his new kung fu movies. In the past two years, he has taken some inspiration from "The Five Lucky Stars", "Plan A" and "Food Truck", but these inspirations are not enough for him to show them.

Recently, for a long time, he has been thinking hard about how to make his new movie in order to regain its glory and even recreate its peak.

Until "Police Story", he was brought to him by Hong Xinbao.

"Lin Jing's new script?"

Cheng Long heard Hong Xinbao say that this was a new script written by Lin Jing to him, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic, snatched it with one hand, and couldn't wait to read it.

"Ah Long, don't worry, Ah Jing has conditions for handing over the script to you."

In the past, Lin Jing's scripts for several of their brothers were half-sold and half-sent, and no additional conditions were never mentioned.

"I will promise her any conditions, as long as she hands over the script to me to shoot."

Cheng Long read more than twenty or thirty pages, and immediately determined that this was the script he had always wanted, but he couldn't come up with.

"This script, Ah Jing is going to let the Time and Space Film Studio contribute a part, and Golden Harvest will contribute a part to jointly invest, and then let you and your Cheng Jiaban shoot it."

"Of course this is no problem, if Mr. Zou and his godfather don't have a good relationship with him, I can convince them." It's not a question of who will invest, the key is to let yourself shoot. Even Cheng Long was ready to invest himself if no one invested. Although the money he has made over the years is not as good as those movie predators, it is more than enough to invest in a movie.

Cheng Long said so and did so.

Soon, he took the script of "Police Story" and personally went to the head office of Jiahe, and got the consent of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. When it was over, he went to the Time and Space Film Studio and officially signed a cooperation agreement with Mo Ziqi before he put his mind at ease.

For this script, he did almost everything himself.

Lin Jing learned about this from Mo Ziqi's phone call, and laughed in her heart, she is not a person who troubles people.

will not belittle Cheng Long's achievements in movies because of his character problems.

Regardless of his character problems, Cheng Long is a filmmaker with great ideas in movies, especially action movies. In addition to daring to fight, there are often many new and wonderful ideas in the production of movies, which the vast majority of actors and stars do not have.

Therefore, it is not a fluke that later generations can have the name of "Yicheng" in "Double Monday".

In addition, Cheng Long's films, or his film concept, are also excellence, and the cycle of making a movie is not short, sometimes as long as several months or even nearly a year, and many action scenes pursue the best visual effects, and a shot is a few days.

As long as a good script is handed to him, he can make a good movie.

Compared with most Hong Kong films, Cheng Long's films, especially those after entering the mid-to-late 80s, can be described by the word "exquisite".

As a result, "Police Story", a movie that Lin Jing used to throw stones and ask for directions, launched a formal cooperation with Golden Harvest. (To be continued......)
