Hong Jinbao went down to the parking lot, took the script from the little attendant, and said in a low voice: "Drive in a circle, I'll read the script first." ”

"Yes."

The little attendant drove the car out of the parking lot and began to wander around Central. Hong Jinbao carefully read the script and found that there was nothing surprising, just a woman's adventure story. He looked at the stack of drawings attached to the back, and then he thought about it, but when he opened it, he still couldn't match the drawings with the lens.

"Old Zhong, where is it? Oh, I've got something to do, I'm waiting for you at Wan Chai Pier. ”

Half an hour later, Zhong Zhiwen of Debao Company came in his broken crown, which was still a birthday gift from Hong Jin the year before last. It's a pity that this person just likes to run around and take pictures, and in three years, the new car has become a broken car. Zhong Zhiwen looks like Sven and has won two Academy Awards, and the real big-name photographers in Hong Kong are too obsessed with photography, and all the money they earn is contributed to cameras and films.

Getting into Hong Jinbao's Grand Cherokee, Zhong Zhiwen couldn't put it down and touched the wide seat, which was so big that it was enough to put a lot of equipment.

"Sanmao, what crown did you give me? How good this car is, big enough and sturdy enough to go anywhere. ”

", this car only came out last year, were you 40 last year? Don't touch it, and when it's your birthday, I'll send you a new one. Help me take a look at this book first.,It's a little hard to understand.。 ”

The two old friends were not polite, Zhong Zhiwen complained that his income was too low, forcing him to jump to light and shadow, and at the same time took over the script in Hong Jinbao's hand.

"Nothing special, huh? This is the story of a beautiful girl's adventure, at most the scene is grandiose, and it may have higher requirements for props and exterior scenes. ”

Hong Jinbao handed over the stack of sketches again, and said in a deep voice: "Look at this again, you know this ghost thing better." ”

Zhong Zhiwen took the first page casually, took the cigar in Hong Jinbao's mouth, and lit his 'Marlboro'.

Well? Zhong Zhiwen was attracted to the script at first sight, forgot to smoke the cigarette he lit, raised his head and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Hong Jinbao, who understands the habits of his old friends, saw this and knew in his heart that the excitement of this script lies in the photography rather than the story.

Zhong Zhiwen looked at more than 100 drawings for more than three hours, and then he put them down unsatisfied, took off his glasses and rubbed his sour eyes.

"Who drew it? Old Dun that the hell? That bastard can write kanji, and can he write so beautifully? ”

Hong Jinbao handed over the two lunch boxes and said in a low voice: "Sun Ziming, don't tell me about this today, you can come and take pictures for me then." Let's calculate, how much will it cost to shoot this film? ”

"Huh? , is this still a life-saving huh? ”

Zhong Zhiwen took the lunch box and scolded, began to gobble up, finished eating in two or three minutes, wiped his mouth and said in a low voice: "Sanmao, this film is not easy to shoot, it is not certain whether the market can accept it, and I can't find such an actress." You also know Yang Yuqiong's skills, and you can't do too difficult movements. ”

Well?

Zhong Zhiwen picked out a sketch, pointed to it and said: "The fifteen-meter-high statue has to make movements above the head, and there is no protection below, which actress in Hong Kong dares?" ”

Yes?

"The biggest charm of this book is that it is thrilling, the action should be chic and beautiful, Li Lianjie would be good if he were a woman, this film is the most suitable for him."

Li Lianjie? Hong Jinbao immediately thought of his wife, that sturdy woman, that skill must be good. It's just that to convince her to act, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort.

"The risk lies in whether the audience can accept a woman as fierce, no matter how good the film is, the audience must be willing to buy tickets to watch it."

Hong Jinbao also has no bottom in his heart about this question, but he believes in Sun Ziming. That bastard boy has never smashed a film, and even a literary film can make a box office of more than 40 million, so there is no reason to draw such a film with no box office prospects. Looking at this sketch, at least it was drawn last year, more than 100 pages, do you think it's a very simple thing?

Zhong Zhiwen read the specifications of the props in the storyboard, Hong Jinbao recorded and calculated, and after half an hour of busy work, the two looked at the numbers on the paper and looked at each other, 15 million!

", how do you do that? If this film wants to get a good effect, it must be at least more than 30 million! ”

Zhong Zhiwen looked at those prices again and scolded: "You pig brains, go to the mainland to make props?" Did they do it? ”

"You're a pig's brain! If you don't go to the mainland, if you make it in Hong Kong, it will cost more than 30 million yuan for a single prop, and we will shoot a fart! ”

Hong Jinbao thought about it for a long time, found another piece of paper, and rewrote it in dog crawling characters, and the number was changed to 45 million.

"Fuck off, don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, I'll lend you 1 million to vote for when the time comes, and your house will count on this vote."

Zhong Zhiwen knew what this fat man wanted to do, his mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything out of place.

……

In the evening, it was already sunset, and Hong Jinbao and He Guanchang once again quarreled in Pan Disheng's office.

"You know the! This film is not 45 million, what effect can be filmed? You go and spend 500,000 yuan on Lao Tzu to make a 15-meter-tall statue? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, don't think that you can eat when you are old! ”

"Won't you go to the mainland to do it? Don't think I don't know the way, the salary in the mainland is only 1/10 of Hong Kong! ”

"You know what a! Can the mainland's techniques be done? ”

……

"Just enlarge it with a photo, and then spray it on it, what kind of handiwork do you use? Are you burning your money in a panic? ”

"It's a mural! You think it's a picture on your wall? Is there spirituality in the spray? If you want an artist to paint, you have to be a professional painter! Lao Tzu wants to shoot according to your words, not to mention making money, you will lose money! ”

He Guanchang asked Hong Jinbao to take a bite of Lao Tzu, and he trembled with anger, Lao Tzu is older than you, who the fuck are you?

Hong Jinbao drank a large glass of water, wiped his mouth, and shook his fat hand vigorously.

"Okay, you're so bold, don't dare to invest money, even if I pay for it privately, okay? Give you a chance to make a fortune, I don't know how to seize it, the dog bites Lu Dongbin! ”

He Guanchang pointed his finger at Hong Jinbao and trembled, and it took a long time to shout out a sentence, "If I don't shoot, I won't shoot, see how you bastard is killed!" ”

Hong Jinbao quarreled for more than an hour, waiting for this sentence, adding fuel to the fire and said: "Cut, Lao Tzu also admits the loss, how can you be like a coffin scoop, and treat money as fate!" How does Sun Ziming describe people like you? The saddest thing in life is that when a person dies, the money has not been spent! ”

Pan Disheng next to him couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly lowered his head to drink water, this is really fucking incisive!

……

The two had another big quarrel, and He Guanchang scolded Hong Jinbao when he was about to throw his hands and leave, and let the bastard stop him and ask him to sign the meeting minutes.

", you don't sign, you'll make money then, and you want to run back and divide it, right? Lao Tzu just can't believe you like this! ”

He Guanchang really didn't want to entangle with this bastard, so he signed the meeting minutes casually and walked away. There was a 'bang', and the door slammed into the sky.

Hong Jinbao looked at the signature on the record with satisfaction, and Pan Disheng finally had a smile on his face, sitting on the sofa and looking at this thick and thin guy. Ever since this bastard teased Lao He to get angry, he didn't speak, and let the two quarrel.

"Sanmao, give me an explanation."

Hong Jinbao closed the meeting minutes, sat down, took a few puffs of Liglu cigar cigarettes, and said in a deep voice: "Pan Sheng, I bought this book in exchange for friendship." I don't care what you think, anyway, I'll be a director and invest half of the money. If the company doesn't shoot it, I'll shoot it alone. ”

Pan Disheng flipped through the script again, which is nothing unusual, at most the scene is grandiose, and maybe the exterior will be more beautiful. He also fell on the back of the sofa, pondering Hong Jinbao's abnormality.

45 million must be a liar, at most it is more than 20 million, although Lao He can't make movies, but he has been in the circle for so many years, what do you not understand? 20 million, which is equivalent to the income of this old boy for almost 2 years. Since he dared to gamble, there must be a reason why he didn't know the way.

"Okay, I won't take advantage of you, your director fee company will pay for it, and one person will share half of it. Now, it's time for you to talk about the cats, right? ”

Hong Jinbao didn't expect to be able to deceive this person, waved his hand to let the assistant out, then took out the sketch from his bag, and said in a low voice: "This book, I have seen it with Lao Zhong, and the whole mystery is in the photography skills." Now the only risk is the market, as long as the audience can accept an alternative beating girl, the film will definitely be a big hit! ”

Pan Disheng took the sketch, which he couldn't read, but he could read the handwriting. This must have been painted for a while, and it can't be that Director Sun dug a hole for himself. Look at this thickness.,It's estimated that people will have to paint it for a few days.,It's not like (like) this book.,People can't spend so much energy.。 After pondering for a long time, Pan Disheng muttered: "Can Arjun act?" ”

Hong Jinbao shook his head and said: "No, this book has to be chic and beautiful, and it has to be very good, Ah Qiu (Yuanqiu) can't handle it, let alone her." The second difficulty in this book is that she is an actress, I want to go to the mainland and find Li Lianjie's wife to act. When I used to learn from Li Lianjie, I saw her skills, which were on par with his husband. out of 3 million, it is estimated that she will come to act. ”

Compare notes? Pan Disheng couldn't hold back a smile, he had heard about it. The fat man went to stir up trouble with Cheng Long, but the two couples came out of the practice room first in less than a minute. Fortunately, everyone fought behind closed doors, and the status of the two was high enough, and the two couples would not hype, otherwise they would have been publicized by reporters all over the world.

"Okay, you are an expert in these things, give me a real number, how much does it cost?"

Hong Jinbao happily reported 18 million and fought an ambush of 3 million, which should be enough.

"Okay, this film belongs to the two of us, one and a half. Hey, tell me what you think of Xu Anhua's awards, if you win the Academy Award, the company can't say nothing at all, right? ”

"Look at it, how do I know these things? I left first, and my wife was still at home waiting for dinner. ”

Seeing the fat man leave with a grin, Pandey couldn't let out his anger. "Autumn Fairy Tale" invited two stars to shoot locations in the United States. It took more than 16 million and a lot of manpower of the company, and the box office turned out to be 8.6 million, and if there is no box office in other cities, it will be a loss. Although the artistic value of the film is good, in terms of box office value, it can be ignored, no wonder this fat man is dissatisfied.

Hey, I can't help it, without these unprofitable literary films, how can I promote my own clothing brand?

'Knock knock' Yang Yuqiong knocked on the door and said with a smile: "Dickson, it's time to go to dinner, and after eating, I have to go to get the costumes for tomorrow's award ceremony." ”
