"I'm really curious when you say that." Han Jin said with a smile, "Go back and show me the script." ”

"Okay." Wang Jing nodded and said, "The other one is "Unheard Speech" submitted by Jiang Dawei for review. He then added.

Han Jin was stunned, this is the name of one of his songs.

At the song auction at the beginning of the year, this song was bought by Chen Baiqiang, and in June, he released the album of the same name "Unheard Talk", which became his title song.

Because the song is so touching, it has achieved a very good reputation, and it has also sold platinum in terms of sales. It can be regarded as Chen Baiqiang's best results in the past two years.

Unexpectedly, the name of this song was used in the name of the movie again.

"The name is interesting, so what does the story mean?" Han Jin asked with a smile.

"It tells the story of a group of deaf and dumb teenagers who make a living by pickpocketing all day long because of the care of five people, and then have a grudge with the Black X Society, and finally are attacked by the police and the Black X Society, resulting in one death and one imprisonment." Wang Jing said simply.

Han Jin nodded, as soon as he heard this story, he knew that it was quite unusual.

The Hong Kong film industry does not pay much attention to disadvantaged groups, such as the mentally ill, the disabled, homosexuals, the elderly and the elderly, etc., and almost no one wants to film them.

In the final analysis, it is all about profit. Literary films are not easy to make money, and literary films that focus on disadvantaged groups are even more niche among the minority.

If it's a literary romance film. It seems that "Autumn Fairy Tale" co-starred by Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong, "Sweet Honey" co-starred by Zhang Manyu and Li Ming, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women plus romantic and touching love, the box office is actually guaranteed.

But when making a social problem film, there is a chance that this investment will not be recovered, and maybe it will win one or two awards, but for the film company. But it didn't help.

Therefore, small film companies generally do not shoot such types of films, and there are only large film companies like Xinyicheng, Golden Harvest, and Yongsheng. Have such strength and dare to take risks.

Of course, it is not the three of them that make the most such social literary films in Hong Kong, but the Yindu institutions with mainland backgrounds. Most of the award-winning films of the Academy Awards are produced by Yindu institutions, such as "Half the Man", "American Heart", "Father and Son" and so on.

Because they have financial support from the mainland. So basically there is no need to worry about box office pressure. And their background is also destined to pay more attention to Hong Kong's social issues, and thus become the base camp of literary films.

Yongsheng Entertainment was a company that pursued commercial interests at the beginning, and its first pioneering work was "Color is Empty", which played a love ball.

However, this year, it has already made two literary films, one is "Why Have Me" starring Zheng Zeshi, which is about mentally handicapped children; One is "Women's Heart" directed by Guan Jinpeng, which tells the story of how husband and wife get along.

This is all because of Han Jin's financial support, so the company dares to spend a lot of money to invest in such niche movies. Like Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng, because the boss still has to make money, the support is not as strong as Han Jin.

This "Can't Hear Words" was originally voted for Golden Harvest, and Hong Jingbao originally read the script. It has been decided that it is going to be auctioned.

But because the box office of "Summer Lucky Star" was not as expected, his Baohe did not have so much extra money, so he had to give up regrettably.

Jiang Dawei thinks it's a good story like this. If it is shelved due to lack of funds, it will be a very big loss. I was planning to invest with my own money, but I didn't expect to hear the news of the establishment of Yongsheng Entertainment Film Investment Fund at this time.

With the idea of giving it a try, Jiang Dawei handed over the script, but he didn't expect to be hit by Wang Jing.

"Yes. This story sounds pretty good, so bring me the script when you go back. Han Jin nodded. Then he smiled again, "Jiang Dawei, could it be that Jiang Dawei?" ”

"That's right, it's that Jiang Dawei." Wang Jing nodded and smiled.

Han Jin smiled, "Why is it popular now, actors are screenwriters, actors are directors, one by one is really a generalist." Which is the next script, shouldn't it also be a reverse string? ”

"That's right, the following script is really anti-string." Wang Jing said with a smile.

Han Jin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Why is this popular now, who is the next script?" ”

"It's Jiang Dawei's younger brother Er Dongsheng." Wang Jing said.

Han Jin smiled, "Okay, the brothers have formed a group and come back, what kind of script is his?" ”

"It's also a movie about a mentally ill person, called "The True Story of the Crazy Guy"." Wang Jing said.

Han Jin nodded, he had seen this movie before, and it left a very deep impression on him.

Especially the scene where Qin Pei, one of the leading actors, was splashed with blood in the kindergarten with a knife at the end, which is estimated to be the most chilling scene in Hong Kong films.

"Well, tell me the story." Han Jin said.

Wang Jing nodded and told the story of "The True Story of the Crazy Guy".

The story is about a writer who approached a volunteer who was responsible for helping the mentally ill because he wanted to write a story about a mentally ill person.

When serving the mentally ill in the community with him, he saw all kinds of mentally ill patients, and the two also had sparks but also had a lot of friction during their work.

In the end, the volunteers died under the knife of the mentally ill, and the writer wiped away his tears and decided to continue the unfinished duty of volunteering and continue to care for the mentally ill.

"I didn't expect Xiaobao's first movie to be so amazing~" After listening to the whole story, Han Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Generally, rookie directors make films for the first time, and they usually make some pleasing movies, such as comedies and romance films, which are guaranteed at the box office and easy to shine, and once they become popular, they can gain a firm foothold.

No one is so bold. I made this kind of literary film for the first time, and it is a niche literary film. It's just a joke about his directorial career, if this movie flutters. I believe that no one will dare to invest in him again.

"It's really fun." Wang Jing also sighed.

His first movie was "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", which not only followed the most popular TV series "The King of a Thousand Kings" at the time, but also an action movie, and the box office was naturally guaranteed.

In comparison, Er Dongsheng is indeed bold enough to dare to get involved in such an alternative theme. That is, Han Jinren has a lot of money, so he is willing to invest in this kind of movie. Otherwise, try another company, and ensure that the script is thrown out of the door in minutes.

Movies like that. It's certain that it won't make money.

"I think it's okay with this story." Han Jin nodded, "Go back and bring the script, and then call the three of them to take a look." ”

Wang Jing agreed, and then helped Han Jin bring the script. He also invited Wan Ziliang, Jiang Dawei, and Er Dongsheng to come over for him.

"Brother Wan, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Er, sit, sit~" Han Jin had already finished reading the script at this time, and when he saw the three of them coming, he immediately got up and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, thank you." Seeing Han Jin so enthusiastic, the three of them couldn't help but feel relieved. They all sat down with a smile.

"Congratulations to the three of you, your script has passed the review, and the company has decided to invest." Han Jin said with a smile.

Wan Ziliang and the three looked at each other. They were all very happy.

"Brother Wan, your script for "The Wife Killer Duo" is really well written, it's quite interesting." Han Jin said with a smile, "Have you made up your mind in terms of actors?" ”

"I want to ask Zhong Zhentao to direct and star in this play." Wan Ziliang said.

Han Jin was stunned, Zhong Zhentao was hacked by himself with fake nude photos because he stole the scene. Because the lethality is too great. Until now, he has not recovered, but he didn't expect Wan Ziliang to choose him as a director.

"Brother Wan and Ah B are very familiar with each other?" Han Jin asked suspiciously.

"Yes. We play ball together a lot. Wan Ziliang said with a smile, "He also encouraged me to write this story, so I want to return him a favor." ”

"Oh, I see." Han Jin nodded, "Okay, another actor, I think Zhou Runfa is quite suitable, what do you think?" ”

"Well, I also think he's more suitable." Wan Ziliang said with a smile, Zhou Yanfa is tall and handsome, although he is known as a box office poison, many film companies still like to use him.

A salary is cheap, if you play a supporting role, it only costs 50,000 yuan; The second acting skills are good, although they are infamous for box office poison, in fact, their acting skills are obvious to all.

"Okay, in terms of the two heroines, I think Mei Yanfang and Wang Jixian are quite suitable, what do you think?" Han Jin asked again.

Wan Ziliang nodded, Mei Yanfang is the most popular female singer in Hong Kong now, and her popularity is already very good. is also very spiritual in terms of performance, and "Adventure" with Zhang Guorong also won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Academy Awards. If she plays the heroine, I believe she will be able to achieve a good box office.

As for the other nominee, Wang Qixian, Wan Ziliang has no contact with her, but he also knows this lucky Taiwanese girl.

When I first came to Hong Kong, I was able to cooperate with Han Jin to shoot "The Working Emperor", and achieved very good box office results, which is not everyone's luck. And Wang Jixian looks pure and cute, and he has a talent for acting in comedy, so he can play this "Wife Killing Duo".

"Okay, just do what you say." Wan Ziliang nodded.

"Okay, I won't say much about the other actors, you have discussed it with Ah B, and the funds will be approved for 3 million Hong Kong dollars, is it enough?" Han Jin asked again.

"Enough, enough." Wan Ziliang hurriedly said, he didn't expect Han Jin to give money so happily, and he gave three million Hong Kong dollars.

He has debuted for so many years, has starred in many movies, and is also a star in the Hong Kong film industry, but all his net worth is not yet 3 million.

"Okay," Han Jin nodded, and said to Jiang Dawei again, "Mr. Jiang, I have also read this script of yours, and it is very touching, and I am very moved." ”

"Thank you, this is all the credit of the two screenwriters, Shao Guohua and Anxi." Jiang Dawei said with a smile.

Han Jin smiled and invited, "I appreciate the talent of these two screenwriters, I wonder if they are interested in joining us at Yongsheng Entertainment?" ”

If he remembers correctly, this Anxi is a well-known talented woman in Hong Kong, who has written many good scripts such as "Sweet Honey", "Man Forty", and "Three Forks", and is a rare talent.

"I don't know about that, but I'll convey Mr. Xu's meaning to them." Jiang Dawei nodded.

"Okay, then trouble Mr. Jiang." Han Jin smiled, "Then let's talk about the actor selection for this movie, the starring McGee I hope to be played by my classmate Liu Qingyun." “

Jiang Dawei nodded, he knew Liu Qingyun.

Last year's "Color is Empty" made him suddenly the king of newcomers in the Hong Kong film industry last year, with a box office of 24 million Hong Kong dollars, and successfully entered the Japanese market, and the first step of this newcomer was very solid.

Then this year's "Flying Tiger Soldiers" made him show his bloody side of a man, showing that he is a highly malleable actor, which is very good.

"In addition, the leopard boy who was beaten to death by someone, I hope it will be played by Wu Qiwei." Han Jin said again.

Although Liu Qingyun and Wu Qiwei are still filming "Magic Jade", they are just playing supporting roles, similar to the nature of cameos, if they are filmed quickly, they can be filmed in a few days, and they will not delay too much time at all.
