Why did Zou Wenhuai cooperate with Li Mingbao, isn't it because of Li Mingbao's movies to make money? can achieve the purpose of hitting the sixth uncle, it is simply killing two birds with one stone. But now Li Mingbao said that he would only give the script, and then Jiahe would get the rest himself.

With such a semi-finished product, how could Zou Wenhuai be satisfied?

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's appearance, Li Mingbao said with a smile: "Zou Tycoon, I'm not unkind, but completely for your Jiahe's consideration." In the film industry, the most important thing for me is the script. If you look at the two films I shot in Hong Kong, when it comes to actors, there is nothing outstanding about them, and the reason why they have been so successful is actually the credit of the script.

And in the American movie, the same is true, I didn't look for any famous actors, nor did I find any famous directors, and my success depended on a script. You don't deny this, Boss Zou, right? ”

"Indeed, when you shoot movies, it is not the same as the current film market in Hong Kong, the most important thing in shooting movies in Hong Kong is actually the actors, and the script is not very important in Hong Kong. Your technique is very similar to Hollywood, a good script, a movie, but the actor becomes a secondary factor. Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Zou Wenhuai nodded in agreement.

In filming movies in Hong Kong, actors are the most important factor, and even as long as they are stars, no matter how bad the movie is, there will be people who will cheer it. Of course, except for the "True Story of A Fei" filmed by Wang Jiawei, a large number of people were killed.

And Golden Harvest is even more actor-led, whether it is the big brother Hong Jinbao, or Chen Long, or other big-name stars, basically a movie is shot around these stars. If the star wants to shoot like this, then this movie must be shot like this, among which Chen Long is definitely the most outstanding. His movies are basically decided by him alone, except for the movies that were not famous in the early days, or those movies shot in the United States, everything else is up to him.

In such a situation, whether a movie has a script or not is not so important at all, what matters is whether there are actors or not. This kind of situation is not very prominent now, and when Hong Kong movies really start to become popular, such things will become the rule on the surface. It's no wonder that Hong Kong's screenwriters are basically not so famous, either the screenwriter changed careers to become a director, or the screenwriter directly became an actor.

Anyway, he is famous for his screenwriters, and he really can't find two in the Hong Kong film industry. It is precisely because of this situation that Zou Wenhuai was a little dissatisfied when he heard Li Mingbao say that the cooperation was a little dissatisfied, the screenwriter is an egg in Hong Kong, although the Hong Kong film industry has not yet made trouble to the point where the screenwriter is completely a decoration in a few years, but it is an indisputable fact that the screenwriter is the most unnoticed practitioner in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Zou Tycoon, you also know, I am a newcomer to the industry, although I have some achievements now, but I am also somewhat lucky. But even if I was new to the industry, I noticed that there was something different about film shooting in Hong Kong, and it seemed that I had taken a fork in the road.

You must know that when shooting movies in the United States, although the actors are also important, the most important thing is the director and the script. Without a good script, there will be no good movie. But I can't see these in Hong Kong, Hong Kong movies want to be exhibited, in fact, they can't do without a good script, without a good script, no matter how good the actors are, the storyline is not good, the audience will not buy it for a long time. Li Mingbao said.

"I know what you said, and I also know that in the United States, a screenwriter is very important, especially a good screenwriter, and his status is very high. But Li Sheng, this is Hong Kong, not the United States, and the American system may not apply to us in Hong Kong.

Take the mainstream movies and kung fu movies in Hong Kong as an example, those audiences come to watch the movie, the first thing is not to see the plot of your movie, but to see whether your kung fu is good or not. If the kung fu is good, no matter how bad the script is, some people will read it, but if the kung fu is not good, no one will read the script, no matter how good the script is. On the American side, the same is true, when Xiaolong was still there, his movie script actually had that, but his kung fu played well, so the Americans bought it.

If his kung fu is not good-looking, do you think he will still be so famous? So, there are two sides to everything, especially here in Hong Kong, I admit that the script is somewhat useful, but for most people who watch kung fu movies, whether they play well or not is the first element, and as for the script, it is not so valued in Hong Kong. Li Sheng, if you want to make a career in Hong Kong, you must keep this in mind. Zou Wenhuai said very seriously.

In Zou Wenhuai's heart, Hong Kong movies are roughly kung fu movies, except for kung fu movies, other films are all small roads, and there is basically nothing to make money. Even the two movies that Li Mingbao made his debut did not have a shadow of kung fu, but at this time of discussion, Zou Wenhuai still thinks that kung fu movies are king.

It's no wonder that Zou Wenhuai is really because Zou Wenhuai's success lies in kung fu movies, from the time he started to get in touch with movies, to the later when he came out of Shaw Brothers, became popular with Li Xiaolong, and later got out Hong Jinbao and Chen Long, including Li Lianjie by means later. Zou Wenhuai basically takes the path of kung fu films. Even in comedies, he likes kung fu plots.

In Zou Wenhuai's heart, there would be no Hong Kong movies without kung fu movies, and the sweetness he ate in it was simply too much. Of course, success is also kung fu, and defeat is also kung fu. In the later generations of Jiahe's decline, there are indeed environmental problems, but it is not that there is no successor to kung fu films, Zou Wenhuai's old path will not work, and naturally there will only be decline.

That was more than ten or twenty years later, and now, Zou Wenhuai has just picked up Chen Long, and Chen Long's main focus is kung fu, and the pillars of Golden Harvest are basically the stars who debuted in kung fu films, in this case, Zou Wenhuai uses kung fu films as a magic weapon, in fact, it is not a strange thing. From the early kung fu film "One-Armed Knife" to the later urban kung fu films, Golden Harvest has produced the most and most profitable ones, basically all of which are this routine.

Under such circumstances, Zou Wenhuai attaches importance to the script and despises the actors, how can such a theory leave traces in his heart? After hearing Zou Wenhuai's words, Li Mingbao immediately understood that it was really not a good idea to discuss this topic with the current Zou Wenhuai, Zou Wenhuai was originally a stubborn person, and if he wanted to change his mind with a new theory, he couldn't do it at all. Instead of contradicting Zou Wenhuai on such an issue, it is better to expose this topic.

"Zou Tycoon, you have your thoughts, I can understand, I also have my thoughts, and I hope Zou Tycoon can understand. We won't talk much about this topic, because there is no result, and this is a matter of ideas. Fortunately, the script I'm going to give you is tailor-made for the people in your company, and there is nothing wrong with the concept. For this script, I think it's much better to let you Golden Harvest shoot it yourself than to let me point fingers, after all, your own people are much more convenient to use than me, an outsider. Only giving you the script is also beneficial to the cooperation between our two sides. Li Mingbao opened his mouth to explain.

When Zou Wenhuai heard Li Mingbao talk about the concept again, he knew that he couldn't talk about it any further. After all, Li Mingbao's success and his own success are both in movies, but the specific path is not the same, and it really doesn't have much practical significance to discuss it on this topic.

I heard Li Mingbao say that this script was tailor-made for their Jiahe people, and their own Jiahe people filmed it, and it was indeed better than Li Mingbao, an airborne soldier, so Zou Wenhuai didn't want to delve into the concept issue. He wanted to know that Li Mingbao's script was tailor-made for which person in Golden Harvest.

said that at this time, Li Mingbao didn't sell it, and directly took out the script in his bag, and then handed it to Zou Wenhuai. Li Mingbao is not afraid that after Zou Wenhuai gets the script, he will plagiarize the ideas in it, and then not use his script.

Because this is completely unnecessary for Zou Wenhuai, Zou Wenhuai is not the boss of those small companies, and he is ready to leave with a vote, without any scruples at all. As a big man like him, now is the time to cooperate well with Li Mingbao, no matter how good the script is, he will not do such a stupid thing.

Li Mingbao's script for Zou Wenhuai is the famous "Plan A", as Chen Long's second film in Hong Kong with a box office of over 10 million, this movie is important to Chen Long.

At this time, Chen Long was not as bullish as later generations, although he filmed a box office of tens of millions of dollars before, which made Chen Long popular, but after Chen Long went to Hollywood to work hard, he immediately understood that Hollywood is not a place to be mixed, and he was hit to the fullest.

And "Plan A" is a movie that affirms Chen Long's achievements, making him understand that Hollywood can't mix, but also Hong Kong. Originally, this movie was filmed in 83 years, but Li Mingbao wanted to cooperate with Jiahe at this time, and Chen Long is now also an actor promoted by Zou Wenhuai, mixing Chen Long's oil and water, for Li Mingbao, there is no psychological burden.

When Zou Wenhuai saw this script, he knew that Li Mingbao really worked hard to cooperate with Golden Harvest, otherwise this script would not be like this. Before Li Mingbao said that this script was tailor-made for the actors in their company, he thought that Li Mingbao was bragging, but after seeing the script, he realized that Li Mingbao had absolutely no adulterated information.

The current Chen Long can be described as Zou Wenhuai's heart disease. Although the previous "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" did make Chen Long out of the limelight enough, and even asked Zou Wenhuai to directly bring Chen Long to Hollywood to cultivate, just to make Chen Long not only popular in Hong Kong, but also make money in Hollywood.

Zou Wenhuai is not Uncle Shao Liu, he knows better that an actor who has made a name for himself in Hollywood can make money that is not comparable to that of Hong Kong, when Li Xiaolong was there, he received a lot of benefits.
