"Film Biweekly" does not leave any mercy, although the three giants of the new art city do not agree, but dare to write it so blatantly, looking at the whole of Hong Kong, there is only "Film Fortnightly", even the always bold "Oriental Daily" in order to get a steady stream of news from the new art city, for the three giants do not match such news, there is little positive report, no wonder "Film Fortnightly" will be blocked from the new art city.

Flipping down a few more pages, they are nothing more than some movie reviews, some of which are pertinent, some are too biased, Lin Xiaozhi flipped through a few articles, and only took a few more glances at a film review called "Look at "Overlord Flower Again, Cheng Long's Small Cost Nuggets and Big Treasures", and then turned over.

After quickly flipping through the "Film Fortnightly", Lin Xiaozhi was interested in renting several advertising spaces in the magazine. It is said that the circulation of the "Film Fortnightly" is at its highest, and it is said that the number of copies shipped in each issue is less than 120,000 or 30,000 copies, and even in Japan and Taiwan, there are 10,000 or 20,000 copies. With the shipment volume of "Film Fortnightly", each issue of an advertising space only ranges from 7,000 to 18,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is also a good deal.

"It seems that after the filming of "I'm Crazy for You" is completed, you can consider contacting "Film Fortnightly" and buying a few issues of advertising space!"

Rubbing his temples, Lin Xiaozhi was thoughtful. He thinks a lot, he bought advertising space in "Film Fortnightly", and their staff should also pay attention to it, if they can give a few film reviews at that time, whether it is good or bad, it will be good for the box office of the movie.

Movies aren't just good for you, you will definitely make money. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of phone calls with average quality and reputation, completely relying on topics and publicity and hype, and forcibly turned a bad movie into a big hit.

Time always flies quickly in the boring waiting, and more than half an hour passes in the blink of an eye. When the clock hand in the private room pointed to 11:30, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it stopped straight outside the private room between the pines.

Then there were two knocks on the door, and before he could respond, a figure pushed the door open.

"Hehe, I thought I was already early, but I didn't expect the little brother to come earlier. Hello Lin Sheng, I'm He Fan! ”

The person who came was about fifty years old, tall and straight, and his handsome face did not change much because of the passage of time, but the fortitude between the textures, and a sense of vicissitudes of time greeted him.

This person is He Fan, a master of Hong Kong erotic films.

"He Sheng, hello!"

Lin Xiaozhi got up and saluted, he has been in contact with many Hong Kong filmmakers, and he knows that Hong Kong people attach great importance to qualifications and politeness, "I rashly disturbed your rest, some time ago we got a good script for Xinya Films, and I prefer your directing style when it comes to film directoring, so I have this time to take the liberty of bothering, I hope He Sheng will not be surprised!" ”

He Fan smiled and nodded to him, obviously having a good first impression of him. Although there is air conditioning in this room, but it is inevitable to catch a cold, Lin Xiaozhi's temperature is not too low, he wore a suit when he came in from outside, and now he seems to feel the heat, and he took off his coat and put it on the chair next to him.

"Don't bother, bother what? In the past few years, I have rarely taken on movies, and seeing that Hong Kong is about to return, the bastard boy in my family went to Canada and didn't want to come back, and he has been urging me to end my job in Hong Kong and go to Canada for retirement. Lin Sheng, you should know my splice principle, right? ”

"Zhilu said, He Sheng, please rest assured, I can also promise the director, as long as He Sheng is willing to take it, except for financial audit, Xinya will not interfere in filming and crew management, everything is up to you. As for the quality of the script, I can't do the thing of Wang Po selling melons, so I still have to taste it myself! Lin Xiaozhi nodded, took the briefcase he put on the bench next to him, took out the file bag containing the script of "I'm Crazy for Qing", and handed it to him.

He Fan is also a strange person in the Hong Kong film industry, and his 'three no's' principle is well known to everyone in the Hong Kong film industry. What is the three non-acceptance, that is, 'do not accept bad scripts, do not accept power, and do not accept those who have invested more than five million'.

These first two principles are easy to understand, no one wants to take over the script, and they don't want the investor to interfere too much in the management of the crew and criticize the director's filming. But his principle of not accepting the investment of more than five million made Lin Xiaozhi a little surprised, after all, which director doesn't want the more investment he can get from making a film, the better, but he is good, and he will not accept it at all if he has invested more than five million.

He Fan took the script with a smile, just nodded but didn't speak, he is a person who attaches great importance to principles, and his own three-no-principle Lin Xiaozhi is only satisfied with one, but he is not in a hurry to reply.

"I'll read the script first!"

"Please!"

Seeing He Fan looking down at the script, Lin Xiaozhi was a little bored waiting, but fortunately, the guy sent some snacks, he picked up a piece of cold watermelon, ate it, and passed the time.

In the room, for a moment, there was only the rustling of paper and the sound of him eating watermelon.

The script is not long, He Fan took about ten minutes, and he has read most of it at a glance and ten lines. In the end, it is a person who has been dealing with the script all year round, and he has almost grasped the general context of the script.

“…… Lin Sheng, can I ask, how much did you Xinya interrupt to invest in this movie? And how high are the expectations for the box office? ”

He Fan pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I'm Crazy for Qing" just looks at the script and can't talk about much, but it's not a bad script, but it doesn't break his principles. It's just that from the perspective of the script, it is a little inappropriate to use the traditional shooting method, and it is better to use the flashback and self-description shooting method. Moreover, in recent years, Hong Kong erotic films have not been easy to shoot, and it is said that now the Hong Kong government also intends to regulate the Hong Kong erotic film market and restrict some young people from watching films.

Lin Xiaozhi took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "For this movie, our investment is two million. As for the high expectations of the box office, we hope that the box office in Hong Kong will be at least 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Hehe, of course, the higher the better. Regarding a few heroines with more scenes in the script, I have contacted last year's Asian sister champion and the 85-year-old Asian sister third runner-up, as well as a Taiwanese female artist who is now in Hong Kong, all of which belong to the kind of people who have a good image and have a certain influence and market expectations! ”

He Fan nodded, two million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a erotic film is not a high investment. After all, the atmosphere in Hong Kong and Taiwan is still relatively conservative, and if you want to invite those stars to play dew points and get off the show, it is impossible without a high price.

Putting the script down, He Fan called the waiter, he is an old customer here, and he is naturally very familiar with the specialties here. After taking the initiative to order some special dishes of 'Juxianglou', he sat down again, and said: "Lin Sheng is here for the first time, and I will be in charge of today's meal, so let's pick a few specialties of our restaurant." ”

"Please, it's really the first time I've come here, but I don't know what this 'Juxiang Building' has to do with the ancient 'Juchun Garden'?" is famous for jumping over the wall as a Buddha, no wonder he thinks more.

He Fan praised: "Lin Sheng is really well-informed, the owner of this 'Juxianglou' is surnamed Wang, and it is said that the ancestor is the next generation apprentice of Zheng Chunfa, the owner of Juchun Garden. This generation of chefs has been a chef for Indonesian President Sukarno for more than ten years, and now except for some regular customers, he is rarely in charge of the spoon himself. ”

Lin Xiaozhi was surprised, he didn't expect that a restaurant that looked ordinary on the surface would have such a background, which was really incredible.

It will take a while for the dishes to be ready, and the two of them used some melons and fruits to chat for a while and then gradually let go. Lin Xiaozhi asked, "I don't know what it means to be born?" This script ......"

"There is no problem with the script, although it is not very good, but many viewers of erotic films do not watch its story, but watch the dew point and bed scenes!" He replied with a smile, his face was as usual without the slightest discomfort, and it was not the first time he had made this kind of movie.

Seeing that he still didn't say that he would take over the movie, Lin Xiaozhi was a little sensitive, and knew that he was waiting for him to negotiate the price. At that moment, he took out a copy of the agreement from the file bag and pushed it in front of him.

"In this way, why give birth to your three non-connection principles, we have all passed, so let's talk about the details of cooperation. He Sheng, please see, this is the agreement I drafted......"

In order to invite He Fan to take charge of the guide, Lin Xiaozhi took a lot of effort, and he trusted a lot of connections, only to find out that He Fan was worth 200,000 Hong Kong dollars when he was in charge of "Ukiyo-e Painting" last year, just like some second-tier well-known artists. In the past two years, the value of Hong Kong artists has begun to skyrocket, but this trend has not yet blown behind the scenes of the crew, and the director's value has skyrocketed since 90, and now big directors such as Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Wu Yusen, etc., the remuneration for taking charge of a movie is only seven or eight hundred thousand, and there is no director worth more than one million in Hong Kong for the time being.

He Fan took the agreement and glanced at it, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker. Lin Xiaozhi gave him a very good treatment, and his worth of 300,000 yuan was better than his "Black" at the beginning of the year. The price of "Taoism" is 50,000 yuan, and there are several additional bonuses behind him, which makes him nod and agree on the spot.

If the box office in the city exceeds 5 million after the movie is released, He Fan will be rewarded with 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if the box office exceeds 8 million, Lin Xiaozhi even promised to take 2% of his investment income as a box office dividend to reward He Fan. In other words, if the box office of "I'm Crazy for Qing" can exceed 8 million Hong Kong dollars, in addition to the 300,000 director fees, He Fan can also get nearly 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in dividends.

I sign it, and I don't sign it for what I don't sign!

The conditions given by Lin Xiaozhi were very superior, and He Fan immediately agreed to take charge of the guide tube of "I am crazy" when he was satisfied. The two reached a consensus on cooperation, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly became more harmonious. The dishes are really full of color, flavor and flavor, especially the "Buddha jumping over the wall" is an invincible sea view, which Lin Xiaozhi was full of praise for, and for a while he forgot the little unhappiness that Luo Zhaohui brought him.
