"Ah Jing, I do have ideas for a new play, but this play is really not suitable for you to shoot. It's not that I'm reluctant to pay for it, but the style of this play, you can't grasp it. If you can grasp this drama, even if you are given a 10% share of the box office, what does it matter? Li Mingbao saw that Wang Jing's face was getting more and more ugly, so he said comfortingly.
Hearing that Li Mingbao really had a new play, but Li Mingbao said that he couldn't grasp the style of the new play, Wang Jing immediately became active again: "Ah Bao, do you believe in my strength?" Tell me, what's the scene I can't film? Although I have filmed your drama until now, I am more or less experienced, plus my Lao Tzu, I don't believe that I can't shoot any drama. β
"My new drama is a gunfight movie, and it's a gangster type gunfight movie. Do you think you can make a good movie like this? Li Mingbao said with a little playfulness.
"Shootout films?" Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Wang Jing knew that Li Mingbao's words just now were not a joke, he was really not good at this thing, and it was okay to ask him to play and pee, but he really couldn't play gunfight movies, let alone him, his father couldn't play either, and there were few talents in Shaw Brothers who could play this kind of film.
Although he felt that he really couldn't play such a movie, Wang Jing still didn't want to give up and asked: "In fact, I can also shoot gunfight movies, isn't my father's Shanghai Tang also a shootout?" I also learned a little bit. Can that give me a chance? β
"Don't forget, that TV series is still a screenwriter for me, and I know better than you what is in it. What's more, TV series and movies are completely two different concepts, right? And the most important thing to express in this gunfight film is the strict sΓΉ type, your style is completely out of line with this film, so you should die hard. Other plays, yes, you can't do this play.
Besides, I'm not just filming one drama this year, this drama is not good, and there is the next part, there is always one suitable for you. Anyway, within this year, I will definitely find you to film, and when the time comes, don't say that you don't have time. Li Mingbao said to Wang Jing.
Li Mingbao made a package ticket, and Wang Jing immediately said with a smile: "This is called a good brother, and he is righteous." When it's time to start a new play, don't forget to call me. If you have any instructions, just say that I will do what I can do. β
"Speaking of which, I really have something for you to do, but now is not the time, wait for me to find you in two days, and you will know what is going on." Li Mingbao thought for a moment and spoke.
At this time, Li Mingbao also felt that there were too few people available under him, like Zou Tycoon, his net worth may not be much higher than himself, but when others Zou Tycoon shouted in Hong Kong, countless people ran errands for him. But Li Mingbao wants to shout, it will never achieve such an effect, this is the background, this is the reliance of the tycoon, rich people may not be able to be tycoons, just like Li Mingbao, but those who are tycoons must be rich, the clearer this truth Li Mingbao understands.
When Li Mingbao was talking to Wang Jing, the other people also came 66 in succession. This TVB gathering can be said to have broken TVB's conventions for many years, not only TVB's own people, but also people from other companies, whether it is Golden Harvest or the newly established New Arts City, except for leftist film companies, other people who can be named in Hong Kong have received invitations this time.
It is not so much that this party is a simple TVB party, but rather a martial arts conference in the Hong Kong film and television industry opened by Uncle Shao Liu. Those who know and don't know, those who have hatred and those who don't, as long as they are capable people in the circle, this party is basically all in one go.
Such a gathering, in today's Hong Kong, can only be held by Uncle Shao. There could not have been a second person other than him who had such weight and brought all the people together. Even Zou Tycoon can't do it, at least he calls people to party, Shao Tycoon may not give face.
Shao Tycoon does not give face, and the two companies Shaw Brothers and TVB may not give him Zou Tycoon's face. But Shao Tycoon invited Zou Tycoon, even if Zou Tycoon was unhappy, he had to give face to the sixth uncle, who said that he was also a person from the Shaw Brothers at the beginning.
Of course, if it is purely an invitation from Shao Tycoon, Zou Tycoon may not come, after all, he is also a tycoon now, so he can not give Shao Tycoon face, and Golden Harvest is the strongest competitor of Shaw Brothers in terms of movies, and Shaw Brothers is now in decline and has a contribution to Golden Harvest. It is not very strange that Zou Tycoon does not give face, but if Shao Tycoon pulls Li Mingbao, a new talent in the Hong Kong film industry, out to speak, even Zou Tycoon has to give face.
Obviously, at this party, Shao Tycoon played the card of Li Mingbao, forcing Zou Tycoon to come over. Li Mingbao inadvertently became Shao Daheng's new pawn.
Due to the wide range of people invited by Shao Tycoon this time, not only the people from Golden Harvest came, but even the people from Xinyi City also came, so the party that officially started after a while is now very lively.
This gathering is also the most neat in the Hong Kong film and television industry. Regardless of the mood of the people above, for those directors and actors below, this party is definitely not to be missed, many people who did not dare to contact before have come together because of this party, although it is impossible to talk deeply, but to chat a few words and get familiar with each other, it is also acceptable to everyone.
Although Li Mingbao and Wang Jing were hiding in the corner, people who really had a heart could still find the two of them quickly. Just as Li Mingbao and Wang Jing were talking about his new movie, a man came over and interrupted the conversation between them.
"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you here, today's gathering of Shao Tycoon is not ordinary." He Guanchang said to Li Mingbao with a smile.
Seeing He Guanchang coming, Wang Jing consciously said hello to Li Mingbao and walked away. He knew that this time should be the time for Li Mingbao and the other bigwigs to talk, and he was still a member of the Shaw Clan, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the sixth uncle, at this time, he should go far, and it was right for him to protect himself.
Seeing He Guanchang appear, Li Mingbao opened his mouth and said: "No matter how unusual it is, don't you have to come over?" Shao Tycoon personally invited, how can I not give face? Hasn't Boss Zou arrived yet? β
"He has to wait for a while, I didn't expect you to arrive so early, Mr. Li, and thought you would arrive very late? I heard that even Boss Lei received an invitation today. Uncle Six's business is not ordinarily good. I wonder what Mr. Li should do? "He Guanchang
"Arriving late is Uncle Six, Boss Zou is their patent, I am a young man, what qualifications do I have to be late? As for Boss Lei's side, if he wants to come, I can't stop him, right? I'm with Uncle Six, and I don't have that much face. As for coping, it's still the old saying, soldiers will block, and water will cover up. If anyone really pinched me like a soft persimmon, then I have to say a few words. Regarding He Guanchang's temptation, Li Mingbao also gave an answer.
Hearing Li Mingbao's answer, He Guanchang nodded and said, "Since Li Sheng, you have such a meaning, then you may be able to talk more to Boss Zou later." Our boss is also deeply angry at what happened to Li Sheng. When we came out of Shaw Brothers, it was even worse than your current situation, and now we have survived. Therefore, if you want to look forward, there is no threshold that you can't pass. β
"Mr. He's serious, I can't compare with Boss Zou, I'm just a businessman, I made a little money, I can't make money here, I can make money over there, do business, naturally I want to make money with anger, always angry, it's not good for everyone, unless someone smashes my job, otherwise, under normal circumstances, it's better to talk more."
For Boss Zou's kindness, I, Li Mingbao, don't don't understand, so wait a minute, Boss Zou and I, we still have to communicate with each other, after all, today's banquet is not good. The sixth uncle is old and strong, and his desire is stronger than that of our young people, so how can the Hong Kong film and television industry show faster? Times are different, and thinking is also changing. Li Mingbao said pointedly.
"Well, in fact, our boss also means this, since Mr. Li also has such thoughts, then I won't say more, there are still many beautiful women at today's TVB party, Mr. Li, you are young, you must be very popular, then I won't bother much, you are busy first." After achieving his goal, He Guanchang said goodbye with interest.
After He Guanchang left, Li Mingbao rubbed his brows, feeling that talking to these old guys was not a pleasant thing, it was a very simple thing, but the words that came out of the mouths of these old guys were very winding, as if if if they didn't go around, they couldn't prove that what they wanted to talk about was very important.
If you really want to talk about it, it is better to negotiate happily with those Yankees, although those Yankees are very strong in negotiations, but when they really discuss, they are not like this, and if they want to talk about anything, they can talk directly, if they can't do it, if they can't do it, if they can't do it, if they can't do it, if they can't do it, You don't have to think about what others want to express for a long time.
He Guanchang didn't go long ago, and Boss Lei, one of the protagonists of today's banquet, walked into the banquet hall surrounded by a group of people from Mecca Shitian. Even if Boss Lei is a newcomer who has only been in the film and television industry for a long time, he who owns the two companies of Golden Princess Cinema and Xinyicheng is still a grade higher than Li Mingbao, who only has money now, at least he is called a tycoon, and there are not many people who oppose it.
As for Li Mingbao, if he wants others to call him a tycoon, there is still a lack of heat, and even now many people think that the reason why Li Mingbao has his current achievements is just good luck, he just happened to shoot two blockbuster movies, and Shao Daheng took care of it at the beginning.
Without these foundations, Li Mingbao would be at most the same as other film directors, not much different. It can even be said that he is inferior to most directors, because his qualifications are not as high as those of other directors.
