Chapter 459: Wu Siyuan

"Extralegal Affair" is a tragic movie written by Wu Siyuan himself, which tells the story of Liu Huilan, an old prostitute, who killed a famous prostitute Zeng in self-defense, and only Liu Zhipeng, a recent graduate of the University of London Law School, was willing to defend her in court out of justice. In desperation, the prosecutor invited a nun to appear in court because of accepting bribes, wanting to prove that the defendant and Liu Zhipeng were mother-son relationships......

Han Jin has not seen this movie, but he has heard of its name and knows that this is a movie with a very good reputation, and it is also a representative work of Liu Dehua in the early stage of his acting career.

It was with the help of this movie that Liu Dehua established his status as a first-line student in the film industry, got rid of the bad luck of being banned, and embarked on a smooth road since then.

However, Wu Siyuan did not consider Liu Dehua to take over the role at the earliest time in this movie, he considered Han Jin to take over. That's right, he really wanted to invite Han Jin to take over this tragic film.

Although Han Jin is now the owner of a cinema company, his status in the Hong Kong film industry can be said to be pivotal, except for Zou Wenhuai, Shao Yifu, Lei Juekun, almost no one can compare with him, even Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, etc., are slightly inferior to him.

But Wu Siyuan is still whimsical, hoping to invite Han Jin to take over this movie. Because he heard that Han Jin filmed "The Working Emperor" for Xu Ke, he didn't charge the film first, and waited for the film to be released, and then collected dividends from it. This fresh way of cooperation makes Wu Siyuan appreciate it very much.

Because now with the Hong Kong film exhibition, the remuneration of stars accounts for an increasing proportion of film investment, which is unaffordable for many production companies. It seems that he is the Siyuan Film Company. Although he now has a capital of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, he can only make one movie, and if he loses money, it is equivalent to half of his net worth. Therefore, when he reinvested in making a new movie, he was a little hesitant to look forward and not as happy as he had invested before.

In the '70s, he released four or five films a year, but he didn't release any new films in the past two years, and he has been hesitant because the investment is a bit big now. An investment of three or four million at every turn. It made him feel unbearable. You know, you can make a good movie with a million before.

Now he has heard about the new model of Han Jin and Xu Ke working together to make films. He felt like he had finally found a solution. If you invite Han Jin to make a film, use his salary as an investment in the movie, and then take a cut from the box office, it is definitely a very cost-effective thing.

First. His upfront investment will be much less. Han Jin's salary has now reached two million Hong Kong dollars. This is already a conscience price. He didn't even ask for a sky-high price.

In fact, everyone knows that two million Han Jin is definitely worth it. As long as Han Jin is added to the movie, the movie can sell very well at the box office. Although he is still banned in Taiwan. But the box office gains from Japan from Nanyang can already greatly outweigh the losses suffered in Taiwan.

If he can save this huge investment, then he can save a lot of costs, and he can also increase the investment in film production, so that the quality of the film can be improved.

Second, the box office is guaranteed. Han Jin's current box office appeal is estimated to be second only to Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Xu Guanjie and other first-line movie stars, and the movies he starred in can achieve a good box office. This is already a matter that has been tested by the market, and his previous "Frog Prince", "Color is Empty", and "Shanghai Night" have all achieved good box office, and he can also sell the film to Japan, which is something that many Hong Kong film companies dare not think of.

With these two benefits, Wu Siyuan is already very excited. So when Han Jin invited him to discuss cooperation, he rushed over with great interest, and invited Han Jin to make a movie invitation by the way.

……

Han Jin invited Wu Siyuan over because he wanted to talk to him about cooperation. Because he knows that Wu Siyuan is a very good filmmaker, with vision, ideas, and momentum.

He was one of the first producers in Hong Kong, and after coming out of Shaw Brothers, he filmed the kung fu film masterpiece "Dangkou Tan" when he was born as a calf, and later opened his own film company, and dug up very outstanding filmmakers like Cheng Long, Xu Ke, Yuan Heping, Yuan Kui, etc., which can be said to be a wise talent.

Moreover, Wu Siyuan also created a variety of film themes such as documentary crime films, kung fu comedies, and new martial arts movies, and is a very groundbreaking filmmaker, so Han Jin has great respect for Wu Siyuan and hopes to pull him to work with him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Siyuan also wanted to cooperate with him, but it was not a business cooperation, but a film cooperation.

Seeing that he seriously invited himself to star in "Extralegal Affair", Han Jin felt a little crying and laughing. It's not that he doesn't want to act, and it's not that he doesn't want to cooperate with Wu Siyuan, it's just that he has promised Su Xiaoliang that he will do a good job of concerts and records in the second half of the year, so he has no time to make new films.

Even "The True Color of Heroes", which he planned to invest in, he gave up the role of "Applejack". Originally, he wanted to star in this classic movie, but after thinking about it again, he decided to let the original cast play it.

One is that this is one of the most influential works in which Zhang Guorong participated, which can be said to be his masterpiece. It's hard to imagine that without the foundation of this work, he will be able to be so popular in the future?! Han Jin didn't want to take this risk, he still hoped that Zhang Guorong would be popular through half the sky.

In this film, although Zhang Guorong's acting skills are still a little young compared to Di Long and Zhou Yan, he has been trained by Wu Yusen very well, which is an important experience in his acting career.

It can be said that after this "True Colors of Heroes", Zhang Guorong finally made people believe that he can act, instead of just a good skin like before.

Second, he is not allowed to participate in this movie in terms of time, he wants to engage in his own record career, and he has no time to participate in this movie in the second half of the year. If he has to wait until next year to start filming again, he is worried that he will have a lot of dreams at night. Besides, I made my brother popular earlier, which is good for my brother, Yongsheng, and Hong Kong movies.

Han Jin now wants to put zombie films and hero films in advance. Heroic films, tertiary films, gambling films, new martial arts movies, family comedies, social ethics films, white-collar comedies, actress action films, nonsensical comedies, etc. are all filmed. In this way, there are more themes to choose from. There is no need to worry about blindly following the trend.

……

"How. Mr. Han, what do you think of my story? Wu Siyuan asked Han Jin with a smile.

Han Jin nodded, "Mr. Wu, your story is very good. I haven't seen the full script though. But I can already imagine it. Once this drama is filmed, it will be very touching. ”

"So, you agreed to star?" Wu Siyuan heard Han Jin say this. Immediately asked happily.

Han Jin waved his hand, "I'm sorry Mr. Wu, I still can't act." ”

"Why?!" Wu Siyuan's mood that had just risen plummeted again.

"Because I have to be busy with my music career in the second half of the year, I don't have a schedule." Han Jin explained to him.

Wu Siyuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this, and he didn't know if Han Jin was perfunctory to him, or if he really didn't have time to participate in this play. After all, the so-called lack of schedule has always been the best excuse for actors, and the subtext is that the script is too poor, the salary is too low, I don't like the role, I don't want to cooperate with so-and-so, etc. Wu Siyuan has been a producer for so many years, and he has long known this set.

"But Mr. Wu, don't be disappointed, I think I should have a good actor to recommend to you." Han Jin smiled at Wu Siyuan and said.

Wu Siyuan was stunned, "Mr. Han, please speak." He asked, although there was not much hope in his heart, he still respected Han Jin's opinion. After all, he has a cinema under him now, and there may be a time to beg him.

"It is one of the five tiger generals, Liu Dehua, the star of "Mr. Zombie", which is now being released." Han Jin said with a smile.

Wu Siyuan's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that Liu Dehua was indeed very good.

First of all, his appearance is better, heroic, and he looks with a sense of righteousness, which is very in line with the image of the young lawyer who seeks justice for the old prostitute in the story.

Secondly, his acting skills are not bad. Wu Siyuan has watched his performances of "Running to the Angry Sea", "Ruining Miè Ground Car" and "Unstoppable Love", and feels that his acting skills are very good and can meet his requirements.

And Liu Dehua starred in "Ghost Horse Flying Man" before, and now he starred in "Mr. Zombie", all of which played the main role, and everyone can see that Liu Dehua is very popular now.

"If Mr. Wu can use Andy, not only can I arrange a schedule for you, but I can also allow him to make a film first, and then share the dividends from the box office." Han Jin said with a smile.

When Wu Siyuan heard him say this, he was even happier in his heart. Although Liu Dehua's current salary is not much, it is still two or three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and it is a sum of money that can be saved. And you can get a good schedule, which is a win-win thing, why not?!

"Well, in that case, then it's a matter of words." Wu Siyuan said happily.

Han Jin smiled again and waved his hand, "Mr. Wu, slow down~"

Wu Siyuan was stunned, "What, Mr. Han still has something to say?" ”

Han Jin smiled, "Yes, I see that you still need a lot of actors in this movie, and you also know that our company has signed a lot of people recently, why don't you see what is suitable?" ”

Wu Siyuan smiled in surprise, he really didn't expect Han Jin to personally recommend his artists to him, and he was really good. However, Wu Siyuan not only did not dislike it, but felt that Han Jin's approach was very right. This is a good boss who can think about his employees, and can think about creating opportunities for employees, instead of being high up and ignoring the artist's career.

Han Jin then found Zhang Guozhong, the manager of the artist department, and asked him to recommend a suitable candidate for Wu Siyuan.

Zhang Guozhong is now leading the newly recruited agents to study the "Broker Code" written by Han Jin.

Hong Kong's broker system has only been in full swing for a few years, and it is still in a state of chaos.

Therefore, in order to train them, Han Jin specially wrote the "Broker Code" for them, teaching them in detail what agents should and should not do, so that they would not be confused by the second monk and not know what they should do at all.

Although Zhang Guozhong is a well-known agent in Hong Kong, he used to run blindly by instinct, but he didn't know why, and now he got Han Jin's "Broker Code", and he was shocked immediately after reading it.

It turns out that I am very proud of the tricks, which have been given examples, and even the principle is clearly analyzed. made Zhang Guozhong suddenly feel that Han Jin was simply powerful, and in the past few days, he has been leading a group of agents to study.

Now hearing the boss's call, Zhang Guozhong immediately arrived.

"Jin Shao!" Zhang Guozhong shouted respectfully.

Before, he thought that Han Jin was young, and he didn't have a hair on his mouth and couldn't do things well, but now that he is young, he is not a little stronger than him, so naturally he will have no temper when he sees Han Jin again.

Han Jin smiled, "Introduction, this is ......"

"Don't bother, I already know Guozhong." Wu Siyuan smiled and waved his hand.

"That's better." Han Jin nodded. (To be continued......)
