Hong Kong is very small, every inch of land is valuable, everything is narrow, and the steep staircase is sandwiched between the two floors, which can be seen everywhere, and it is pitiful.

The streets are full of fluorescent signboards stretched out horizontally, with the strong flavor of the movie, not embraced or blocked, dense but quite beautiful.

Chu Qing got up early, and after eating a bowl of beef brisket noodles for 30 yuan, he even inquired about it and decided to give up the subway and take the bus to the destination instead.

He had more than 100,000 yuan in his card, and he first took out 20,000 yuan to exchange for Hong Kong dollars, thinking it would take a while, but depending on the situation, he felt very unreliable. The price of daily necessities in Hong Kong is not too expensive, agricultural and sideline products are very hanging, as well as transportation expenses, communication expenses, telephone expenses, etc., carefully calculate the monthly expenses, tsk, this is sour! I can only hope that the income can catch up with the expenses.

Kwan Jinpeng's studio is in Sha Tin District, on the first floor of an office building, with three rooms inside and outside, front desk, cleaning, finance, corporate publicity, assistants, and less than ten people.

Strictly speaking, Chu Qing is currently a contracted artist of the studio, and the two parties have a contract. After all, he has to stay for a long time, and he must have a reasonable name to take over the job. This kind of half-friend, half-boss relationship, of course, is not a problem, once there is a conflict, it will be extremely embarrassing.

As for the commission, it is calculated at 20 percent.

Ah Guan Zheng and Zhang Shuping did the later stage of "Lan Yu", Zhang Dashen was the main cutter, and he assisted, not too busy. When Chu Qing arrived, he had already brewed two cups of coffee and read the newspaper quietly.

When he heard the sound of pushing the door, he didn't look up, and asked casually, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"It's okay, have you eaten?"

"I'm not used to eating breakfast."

Guan put down the newspaper and pushed over another cup of coffee, this person's favorite advantage is absolute punctuality.

Chu Qing sat on the opposite side and took a sip to make a sip, he didn't like to drink this thing. He was straight and had a good attitude. waited for the other party's foresight, and did not hang on because of personal relations.

"Qingzai, I came to you this time to talk about the direction of future development."

Guan Jinpeng also straightened his waist, looked serious, and said: "Frankly speaking, Hong Kong is very xenophobic, especially in the film and television industry. How many years has Liu Jialing been called Beimei, although you have achieved something before, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, so you need to be mentally prepared for this. ”

"No problem. I'm going to start with the tricks. Chu Qing smiled, with a mouth full of strange accents.

Ah Guan also smiled and said: "Besides, Hong Kong films are still dominated by commercial films, and the output of literary films is not much, which may be very different from the route you take." ”

He couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know what route I'm taking, why are you clear? I act in literary films because no one asks me to act in anything else!

"Ugh. No matter what movie it is, as long as the script is good. "This cargo road.

“OK！”

When Guan heard this, he opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of papers, and said, "Since you are ready." Then these can be given to you as well. ”

Chu Qing was a little inexplicable, so he picked up a copy and took a look, it was actually a script, and then read something else. It's a full seven or eight copies, all of which are scripts.

"All the movies that started in March and April in Hong Kong are here, don't watch a lot of them. There are no big roles at all, and some are even just a few lines. Guan Jinpeng poured cold water in time.

"Okay, I'll take a look first, thank you boss."

He still had the leisure to joke, and flipped through the book, and the title of the film was long, called "Horror Hotline: The Big-Headed Monster Baby". Director Zheng Baorui, starring Wu Zhenyu, He Chaoyi, and the back is written to be determined.

"The radio program received a call from a man who said that one night in 1963, he was playing football with six children on the pitch when he found a big-headed monster baby in a nearby cave. They immediately brought the headmaster of the school, but when the headmaster of Islam saw it, he was so frightened that he dropped the Koran in his hand......"

He didn't bother to finish reading the synopsis, rubbed his head, and couldn't complain.

Just by the name, you know you're a bad movie! Big-headed monster baby, you might as well call it "Terror Hotline: Teletubbies", it sounds so fashionable.

Although I know that I am about to fall, I can't be destroyed in the hands of such a thing, and the plot must at least have a normal IQ.

He neatly left the notebook, picked up the second copy, and looked at the name as usual:

"The Twelve Beauty Corpses of Yin and Yang Road".

“……”

Don't believe in evil, continue to read:

"Peerless Good Bra".

“……”

And then again:

"Thirty Men Stir the Shock"

“……”

And also!

"The New Rogue Doctor"

“……”

And also!

"Glass, Girl"

“……”

Again!

"Bala Bala Sakura"

Hey? He stopped suddenly, and after the frenzied devastation in front of him, this one seemed acceptable.

Chu Qing took a cursory look at the script and felt that it was acceptable, a decent romance film, and he could be regarded as the number one male supporting actor.

Ben had the heart to agree, but then he took a look again, and the column of the shooting location was marked with a few big characters: Shanghai * Hai, Japan.

“……”

Okay, why didn't I get along in the mainland, so I ran to Hong Kong, and the first drama had to be turned back to the mainland? wasted the number of entries and exits, and I still think about going home occasionally to hurt my daughter-in-law.

Guan Jinpeng drank coffee slowly, looked up from time to time, and saw that this thing was turning around, and he didn't have the virtue he liked, and he didn't give it any way, it was all up to him.

Chu Qing passed seven-eighths of the script, leaving only the last one, and picked it up without much hope, and couldn't help blinking.

"Full-time Killer", director: Du Qifeng, Wei Jiahui.

Screenwriters: Pang Haoxiang, Wei Jiahui.

Starring: Andy Lau, Takashi Antimachi, Ren Dahua, Lin Xilei.

Producer: Galaxy Imaging. ”

……

Guan Jinpeng is not surprised that he chose "Full-time Killer", this role has no weight, but the cast is the most awesome, and the quality is also excellent. Moreover, the film is adapted from a best-selling novel, and it became popular before it was released, and it caught the attention of a large number of book fans early.

Lao Du started filming in March, has completed the scenes in Macau and Singapore, and plans to finish at the end of April and release it in August.

Chu Qing was suddenly frightened, he was used to the slow pace of filming in the mainland this year and next year. I feel particularly thrilled by the god-like production cycle of Hong Kong movies.

There is no way, who has made Hong Kong films shrink significantly for several years, from January to early April, only 30 movies have been released. Sensei said that compared with the past, even compared with the same period last year, the production has also been reduced by ten.

There are so many theaters in Hong Kong, they can't be fed at all, so what should I do? The old way, fool!

Liu Weiqiang's "Crazy Boy" can be filmed three times a year, and two big bad movies like Yinyang Road are made every year. It's too trivial.

Old filmmakers like Ah Guan and their generation are extremely nostalgic for the scene of the eighties and nineties, whether it is a gunfight movie, an action movie, a ghost horse movie, a romance movie, a horror movie, or even a salty or wet movie, excellent works are frequently released, stars work hard, and the audience cheers for it.

Chu Qing listened to the story, and Ah Guan recalled. It's all with relish. There is one thing that makes him quite eccentric: this product actually went to see it secretly, and set a record for the midnight scene of the third-level film "Jade * Futon: Stealing * Love Treasure".

Are you going to see the leaf lintel, or Xu Jinjiang?

…………

Afternoon. Uh, this afternoon, to be exact.

That's right, it's so capricious! After Chu Qing finalized the role. Guan Jinpeng immediately called Luo Yongchang, who was even more hanging, and directly asked him to come over and start filming.

I'm going crazy. Hurry up to reincarnate!

His slow temperament really can't adapt to the fast pace of the metropolis for a while. I didn't bother to eat lunch, said goodbye to Ah Guan, and hurried to a restaurant in Causeway Bay, that is, where the film was.

The restaurant was not open during the day and was rented by the crew for several hours. Two floors, downstairs there is a circle of bars, next to several tables and chairs, at the foot of the stairs, at the table, is sitting a greasy Humpty Dumpty, with an extremely murderous hairstyle, smoking a cigarette and doing nothing.

The staff was dimming the set, and the assistant director Luo Yongchang was giving a speech to the group: "Just sit down for a while, don't move, pretend to chat, but don't make a sound." ”

When the diners said they understood, he looked at his watch, turned around and shouted, "Is that mainland boy here?" ”

"Nope!"

As soon as the assistant's voice fell, Chu Qing flashed in and greeted with a smile: "Director! ”

He was startled coldly, looked at it slightly, and asked, "You are the actor introduced by Ah Guan?" ”

"Yes, my name is Chu ......"

"Alright, alright!"

He waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Let's hurry up, I'll tell you all the play, come here." ”

Chu Qing shrugged, although this person's attitude was rotten, he had no malicious intent, walked to the fat man's side with him, and was pressed to sit down.

"When filming starts, Andy will sit there and play the erhu." Luo Yongchang pointed to the small round chair at the bar, spoke in detail, and said, "You are carrying the box, he motions for you to take the money, and then you take a look at the boss first, that is, this one." ”

He patted the fat man on the shoulder and added, "This shot is OK, let's take another shot, understand?" ”

"Got it!"

"Got it?" The other party was suspicious.

"I really get it, director." Chu Qing said with a smile.

"That's good." Luo Yongchang didn't bother to ask again.

Chu Qing crossed his hands and put them on the table, observing them carefully as if he had entered a new world, and everything was wonderful. He didn't know how Ah Guan introduced himself, anyway, this kind of situation of being treated as a rookie is quite interesting.

is like a big-tailed wolf, who has to wear a rabbit skin to gnaw on a big root, and dare to feet.

In other words, his reputation at this time has only spread in Hong Kong's literary circles and film critics.

"What's your last name?"

"Huh?"

Chu Qingzheng's idle egg hurt, and he suddenly heard someone next to him ask in standard Mandarin, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh, my name is Chu Qing, what about you?" He asked the fat man.

"My name is Cod."

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

The two shook hands, and he said curiously: "You speak Chinese well." ”

"Heh, I'm from Tianjin, and I only came to Hong Kong at the age of fifteen."

"Oh, no wonder, I'm from the Northeast and just came to Hong Kong."

"The director and Brother Hua seem to have been delayed a bit, and it will take a while to arrive, let's wait first."

Lin Cod seems to be a rare fellow countryman and colleague, and he is very interested in talking, talking about the interesting stories of the crew and the temperament of the actors.

With the kindness of others, Chu Qing was inconvenient and perfunctory, and he cooperated with the conversation, but he was also speculative. However, he did not disclose his specific situation, but knew a lot about the other party.

Lin Hao used to work as a handyman, and he did all kinds of drama scenes, and later he was selected by Lao Du Xiang and began to play some small supporting roles. In 99, the experience that had been boiled for a long time was finally brought into play, and I was amazed by "Gunfire".

Later, he slowly became a small coffee and often played soy sauce in Galaxy movies.

As for the film, he plays a gang* gang boss, and he hangs up after two appearances. As for Chu Qing, it is even worse, he is his subordinate, no name or surname, referred to as thug A.

A character of this level is generally called a dead runner. (To be continued......)
