Chapter Forty-Seven: Encountering Uncle Zhan (Seeking Clicks, Seeking Collections)
(Brothers and sisters who read books, the chrysanthemums are rotten, those people are so fierce, please give it a try!) )
was said by Li Mingbao, Wang Jing was not ashamed, but proud.
"What's wrong with the fast gunslinger? It's not fast in bed, whoever wants to disobey it, try it yourself. I'm shooting fast, so how much money do I have to save investors? My dad said that filming has to be fast, and the boss won't do it if it's not fast, and I also learned it from my father. ”
Regarding Wang Jing's appearance, Li Mingbao didn't bother to say anything about him. Anyway, under his own supervision, even if Wang Jing is fast, the quality is guaranteed. It won't have any bad effects on your own films.
At the beginning of December, Li Mingbao's "Baby Zhiduoxing" was completed with the joint efforts of Wang Jing and him. For a movie, the completion does not mean that the film is over, and there is some follow-up work to be done, such as dubbing, post-synthesis work such as subtitles, and there is still more than half a month left, and there is still quite plenty of time.
After Fan Shaohuang finished filming, he returned to his father's side and began to continue to lay the foundation. But Al Latat and Zeng Zhiwei are not so neat, but want to follow Li Mingbao to continue to do things.
They are also old people in the Hong Kong film industry, after filming this drama, they feel that this drama will be very rich, even if it can't catch up with "Happy Ghost" at the box office, but it is very easy to break through the box office of 10 million.
In this way, when this film is also released, Li Mingbao will become the only producer in Hong Kong who has grossed tens of millions of dollars for both films. Such a person is like a golden thigh in the Hong Kong film industry, and now they just have the convenience of cooperating with Li Mingbao, if they don't know what to do, Zeng Zhiwei will not be the slippery loach who can maneuver between the big guys like in the future, but has never provoked the big guys.
And Alaat has a high IQ, and has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, and he can understand a person's future. He also had the same idea as Zeng Zhiwei. If you want to say whether these two people are useful, Li Mingbao will 100% say that they are very useful, although Zeng Zhiwei is a little out of tune, but his ability is very good, in the film industry, he can complete all kinds of roles very well.
Although Alat has become half a circle of people, his ability is also undoubted, and in terms of investment and financial management, he has a unique understanding, if it weren't for his gambling too heavy and he likes to walk a tightrope in everything, there must be a place for him among Hong Kong's billionaires.
In this way, the two people want to follow him, and Li Mingbao is quite happy. But the current situation is that Li Mingbao can't afford these two people at all. It's not that Li Mingbao can't afford the salaries of these two people, but Li Mingbao really doesn't know what to do with these two people after accepting them?
If you accept people, you have to arrange jobs for people, but at present, Li Mingbao really doesn't know what kind of work is suitable for these two people, the movie, now Li Mingbao's Li Mingbao is equivalent to eating the big family of the sixth uncle, there is no shortage of anything, as long as you give money, the sixth uncle can prepare everything for Li Mingbao.
In such a situation, what is the use of Li Mingbao holding these two talents? Before he could wrestle with the sixth uncle, asking for someone was equivalent to creating a crack of distrust between him and the sixth uncle, how could Li Mingbao do such a stupid thing?
So in the end, Li Mingbao only had blood in his heart, but on the surface, he looked happy and rejected Zeng Zhiwei and Alat . Of course, Li Mingbao will not completely break the hearts of the two of them, but said that he will continue to cooperate with these two people when the time is right. As for whether the two of them believe it or not, it is not up to Li Mingbao to control it. At least in the current situation, Li Mingbao's desire to recruit troops can only be hidden deep in his heart.
However, when he was doing the post-production soundtrack for "Baby Zhiduoxing", at Shaw Brothers, Li Mingbao met a character, this character is called Huang Zhan, that is, known as Uncle Zhan, and has the title of the four great talents of Xiangjiang.
To say that among the so-called four talents of Xiangjiang, there are actually only two people who mix well, one is Jin Yong, the other is Ni Kuang, and although Huang Zhan and Cai Lan are equally famous, the strength in their hands, that is, money, is not on the same level as the previous two. Although the two of them are rich, their net worth fluctuates back and forth between millions and millions. And Jin Yong and Ni Kuang are different, Jin Yong holds Ming Pao in his hand, even now, his net worth is hundreds of millions, plus some of his political identities, it can basically be said that he can stand in the top circle of Xiangjiang.
Although Ni Kuang is a little worse, whether it is in terms of social identity or net worth, he is also a big step behind Jin Yong, but he also has a net worth of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. No way, who told him to write more? Naturally, there is a lot of manuscript fees. But after all, it is much better than Huang Zhan and Cai Lan in terms of net worth.
Of course, net worth is not too important for people with the status of talents, and in terms of the activity of several of them, their popularity in Hong Kong is about the same. So when Huang Zhan met Li Mingbao in the recording studio, in addition to some accidents, he immediately exerted his famous skills.
"You are that Li Mingbao, very young! The lad is very good, and he has some ideas in history, although a little superficial, but at least he is much better than the young man who doesn't know anything. And the "Kunlun" you have been publishing recently, I also read it, I didn't expect you to write martial arts novels so wonderfully. It's just a little bit bad, you know what the bad point is? ”
was blocked by Huang Zhan, Li Mingbao couldn't escape even if he wanted to, and the ghost knew that this guy stopped him, what did he want to say? Although Li Mingbao has long wanted to have more contact with cultural people like Uncle Zhan and wash his old bottom whiter, so that those newspapers will always evaluate himself with the things that he was not very sensible about before.
But the problem is that the time you want to get in touch with it is not now! He is now busy scoring the new film "Baby Zhiduoxing", where does he have the time to grind his teeth here for Huang Zhan? But in the face of this senior, Li Mingbao couldn't be rude, it was purely to make himself uncomfortable, so he had to ask Huang Zhan honestly: "Uncle Zhan, what's wrong with it, please tell the old man, can't I change it?" ”
Seeing Li Mingbao's honest face, Huang Zhan touched his mouth triumphantly: "I heard that the soundtrack of your movie "Happy Ghost" was dubbed by yourself?" Now that you have a new film, do you want to continue to plan your own soundtrack? ”
"If I don't score my own music, who else can I find to score it?" Li Mingbao, who has the original soundtrack, doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his soundtrack.
Hearing Li Mingbao's answer, Huang Zhan looked distressed: "You are also a big producer now, why do you still come by yourself for such a trivial matter as a soundtrack?" With such a famous soundtrack as mine, what are you doing here as an amateur? Are you ready to snatch Uncle Zhan's job? ”
Hearing Huang Zhan's words, Li Mingbao knew why Huang Zhan went around in such a big circle, and it turned out that the final purpose was actually this. Regarding this, Li Mingbao admitted that he was indeed negligent, forgetting that Huang Zhan is now a famous soundtrack in the Hong Kong film industry, and many of the songs and other things that are outstanding in Hong Kong movies are made by Huang Zhan, and classics such as laughter in the sea are all from Uncle Zhan. And a large part of Uncle Zhan's income comes from soundtracks.
When Huang Zhan stopped himself before, and it was outside the soundtrack room, Li Mingbao should have thought of this problem. But because Li Mingbao already had the original soundtrack in his heart, he naturally ignored these corners. But now that Uncle Zhan has offered to help with his movie score, can Li Mingbao still refuse Uncle Zhan? Apparently impossible.
Originally, Li Mingbao was thinking about how to get in touch with Uncle Zhan, and now there is such an opportunity, of course, he has to push the boat down the river: "Uncle Zhan, I'm really sorry, I really didn't think of this problem before, put your professional soundtrack, I'm an amateur, I really can't do it, since Uncle Zhan is willing to give me this face, I am naturally very happy, my new film, please Uncle Zhan, you do it yourself." ”
Seeing Li Mingbao so real, Huang Zhan patted Li Mingbao on the shoulder with a smile: "That's right, you should find me to score your film." Otherwise, in the future, Uncle Zhan and I will go out for a walk, and others will say, Huang Zhan, you still say that you are the top soundtrack in the Hong Kong film industry, but now all the blockbuster movies in Hong Kong have nothing to do with you, isn't this a signboard for me? Who will come to me for the soundtrack in the future? Even if you can't sell this movie, I can say that I have played for you, and I can handle it somewhat. ”
Huang Zhan's idea, in Li Mingbao's opinion, is quite weird, especially when he said that this movie is not a blockbuster, Li Mingbao really wants to complain, Uncle Zhan, you are not afraid that after this film is really smashed, I said that the biggest failure of this film is because of Uncle Zhan's soundtrack? That would make your reputation really stink.
Of course, Li Mingbao will naturally not say such a complaint, and Li Mingbao is also quite thoughtful about the box office of the new film. At this time, Li Mingbao also felt that it might be better to let Uncle Zhan score his own film, which might be better than the original version. That's not to say that the original soundtrack was bad, but it didn't fit the morals.
The original version of this film is an American film, and his soundtrack style is naturally something from the United States. But the problem is that now the movie "Baby Zhiduoxing" has been brought to Hong Kong by Li Mingbao, and even some scenes in it that do not conform to the reality of Hong Kong have been replaced by Li Mingbao.
And now let Huang Zhan solve this problem, even if he removes some things in the soundtrack that do not meet the situation in Hong Kong, it will make the whole film more Hong Kong flavor, rather than Hollywood.
