Chapter 454: A Coincidental Encounter
The box office of the films released by Tengfei Entertainment is higher than the other, from "Best Lucky Star" to "Summer Lucky Star", "God of Gamblers" to "Saint of Gambling", each film has a box office of more than 40 million, Chen Xunqi looked at it with hot eyes, is it possible that the golden age of Hong Kong movies has arrived!
Chen Xunqi thought that his talent was not inferior to others, and began to ponder the script, thinking about it left and right, and finally remembered Lu Xiaofeng mentioned by Wang Zichuan.
With the movie script of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", Chen Xunqi came to Tengfei Entertainment with confidence, relying on his relationship with Wang Zichuan, and approving the script is a matter of one sentence.
"Old Wu!"
Chen Xunqi saw an acquaintance, and the great director Wu Yusen, who became an instant hit with "The True Color of Heroes", the two of them have worked together in Golden Harvest, and their friendship is naturally there.
Wu Yusen asked, "Why do you have time to get here, Yongjia's affairs are over?" ”
Chen Xunqi patted the script under his armpit and said with a smile: "I plan to make a film, come over to Wang Zichuan for review, if there is no problem, I plan to start shooting next month, maybe I can fight for the Christmas schedule." ”
Wu Yusen couldn't bear to discourage Chen Xunqi's enthusiasm, as far as he knew, the Christmas schedule had been scheduled for the sequel to "God of Gamblers" directed by Wang Jin, and said vaguely: "How is the script?" Mr. Wang attaches great importance to the quality of the script, if it doesn't pass the test, let alone the summer file, the crew can't turn on the machine. ”
Chen Xunqi said calmly: "The script is absolutely fine, the theme is set by Mr. Wang himself, to be honest, when Mr. Wang first mentioned it, I didn't agree with it, and I watched the Tengfei Entertainment film department sell well......"
Wu Yusen looked strange, patted Chen Xunqi on the shoulder, and interrupted: "Sometimes I really envy you. ”
"What's wrong?"
Interrupted to speak. Chen Xunqi did not mean to be displeased at all, but cared about Wu Yusen, the other party's "True Colors of Heroes" was an unprecedented success, and he entered the ranks of Hong Kong's top directors in one fell swoop.
Wu Yusen smiled bitterly: "The script I wrote two months ago was passed. ”
Chen Xunqi comforted: "I have also heard about this matter, is the internal audit of Tengfei Entertainment really so strict? I can't even get through your script! ”
Wu Yusen sighed: "There are nine people who reviewed my script, and seven of them turned on the red light, maybe it was really a problem with the script." ”
Chen Xunqi said: "Didn't you look for Mr. Wang?" ”
"How can you have the face to trouble Mr. Wang!" When Wu Yusen said this, his face flushed. continued: "I have asked Zeng Li of the production department, and he agreed to let me go outside to attract investment. ”
Chen Xunqi immediately started to think carefully, and said excitedly: "I have a sum of money in my hand, or we will shoot your script together." ”
Wu Yusen was puzzled: "Then what about your script?" ”
Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "When can't you shoot if you have money?" ”
Wu Yusen hesitated: "Brother, I won't tell you, I have already contacted two investors, one is Mr. Xiang of Yongsheng Company, and the other is Mr. Li of Meizhou Entertainment. ”
Chen Xunqi laughed and said: "What Meizhou Entertainment! That fat man Li is the trust released by Jiahe, and there is something that Jiahe is not suitable to come forward. It's all left to them to solve, and if you ask him to cooperate, you will find Jiahe to cooperate. ”
Wu Yusen was startled, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and now Tengfei Entertainment and Jiahe are fighting lively. He almost became an accomplice of Golden Harvest.
Chen Xunqi said tentatively: "Old Wu, what do you think of what I said? ”
Wu Yusen hesitated: "You better talk to Mr. Wang first, if Mr. Wang is very optimistic about your script, you don't have to enter my troubled waters." To be honest, I was also nervous about this script. It stands to reason that Mr. Wang should have gotten the news long ago if there was such a big commotion...... Perhaps, Mr. Wang is not optimistic about my script either. ”
Chen Xunqi was shocked and excited. Halfway through the love, he felt that Wu Yusen's analysis was reasonable, and in such a big place as Tengfei Entertainment, everything escaped Mr. Wang's ears and eyes, not to mention the script about the gold medal director Wu Yusen.
Wu Yusen added: "Maybe it's because of the company's system! Last year, we held a meeting of directors and screenwriters and formulated a lot of elimination rules. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Chen Xunqi has not worked within Tengfei Entertainment and is not clear about the company's internal management regulations.
Wu Yusen said: "For example, to review the script, our Tengfei Entertainment screenwriters are divided into several groups, and the scripts produced by the company can only be filmed after three procedures, the first is the screenwriter team nomination or the script written by the director himself, and the second procedure is to review the script, which is reviewed by several gold medal directors and gold medal screenwriters, and only half of the scripts will be submitted to Mr. Wang." ”
Chen Xunqi was surprised: "Mr. Wang is in charge of the last procedure? ”
Wu Yusen nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Wang is the last person to make the decision, and my script was stuck in the second procedure, so it is not unusual for Mr. Wang to not know." ”
"Then why did our script go directly to Mr. Wang for review?" Chen Xunqi was confused, feeling that the scripts written by Wu Yusen were all stuck, and if he participated in his script, he would not be able to escape this level, and he was glad and puzzled.
Wu Yusen said enviously: "This is the benefit of your independent company, as long as Mr. Wang makes the decision, any film can be made, our internal director must go through these three procedures, especially the second procedure, I don't know if the script is stuck." ”
Chen Xunqi said: "Isn't that a pity, like Lao Wu, your script, if you repeat the experience of "The True Color of Heroes" being a big hit, how much will the company lose?" ”
Wu Yusen struggled: "The stuck script can be revised, I just don't want to make my script unrecognizable." ”
"Oh!" Chen Xunqi smiled understandingly, he knew a lot about Wu Yusen's problem, and the reason why Xu Ke fell out with Wu Yusen was the contradiction that evolved from the script.
"If you decide to invest in my film, contact me by next Sunday. ”
Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "No problem, I don't know what the future of this film is, and we will work together once if we have the opportunity." ”
Wu Yusen's face changed slightly, Chen Xunqi's attitude made him vigilant, the more talented people are, the stronger the desire to control, such as Xu Ke, if Chen Xunqi interferes with the crew like Xu Ke, he will lose a friend again.
Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "I made an appointment with Mr. Wang, let's take time to talk alone." ”
"We'll talk when we have time!" Wu Yusen waved his hand, and decided to speed up the pace of negotiations with investors. (To be continued......)
