Chapter 415: Key Person
Zeng Zhiwei just got in the car and was about to go back to the company when he received a call from Xu Ke: "Awei, how was that incident last time, did Chen Shao agree?" ”
"It's not clear a word or two on the phone about this matter, if you have time, come to my office now, and we'll talk face-to-face." Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Ke have known each other for many years, and they are not so polite in their words. Speaking of which, he is still very much in favor of investing in the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story", not only because of his relationship with Xu Ke, but more importantly, he really thinks this is a very good project.
However, if the second part is just an ordinary investment, he can make a decision on the spot, in addition to shooting the script taken out by Gu Chen, today's Tang Dynasty movies will also select excellent works from the scripts submitted by the outside world to shoot, and in situations like this, he makes a direct decision, after all, he is the president of the company, and this power is still there, but the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Xu Ke wants to shoot is a large-scale zuò movie, with an investment of 5ooo million, but such a project must be approved by Gu Chen. It's not that he doesn't have the power to decide, but a kind of trust and respect for Gu Chen, otherwise if he makes a decision alone, I believe Gu Chen won't say anything.
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." After speaking, Xu Ke hung up the phone...... Not long after Zeng Zhiwei returned to the company, Xu Ke really came, and as soon as he sat down, Xu Ke couldn't wait to ask: "Listening to the tone of your voice on the phone, there seems to be a situation, what is going on?" ”
"Look at you, I happened to go to Tang Dynasty Holdings just now, and I already told Ah Chen, he asked me to show him the script first."
Hearing Zeng Zhiwei say this, Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although Gu Chen did not refuse on the spot, it means that there is still hope, but how much hope can this hope be. You must know that he has been planning for more than three months to shoot the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story" this time, and the script alone has been revised nearly ten times, and he plans to invest 2ooo million in it himself, which is already a part of his assets. This shows his determination. In fact, what he originally wanted to make was not a sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story", but a remake of "Shushan Swordsman". In 83 years, he invested a lot of energy and financial resources to shoot the first martial arts film in the history of Hong Kong film that used a large number of special effects technology, originally he was full of confidence in the film, but unfortunately the market response was flat after the release of the film, and in the end even the cost was not returned.
Therefore, he has always been very unwilling, so he had the idea of cooperating with the Tang Dynasty to remake "Shushan Swordsman". But thinking about it later, he changed his mind, mainly because he felt that filming "Shushan Swordsman" was too risky, and if he lost money in the end, it would be nothing for the Tang Dynasty filmmakers to have a great cause, but he would have to drink the northwest wind. After thinking about it again, he chose to shoot the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story".
"A Chinese Ghost Story" has a large number of old fans, and the risk of having these people as the foundation is undoubtedly much lower, but now it seems that we have to continue to wait for news.
At this time, the secretary walked in with two cups of coffee, and when the secretary put down the coffee and left, Zeng Zhiwei made a gesture to invite the coffee. Then he said: "You don't have to be disappointed, in my opinion, Ah Chen has no objection to cooperating with you, and the key to whether you can cooperate in the end depends on one person." ”
As soon as he picked up the coffee, Xu Ke, who hadn't had time to drink it, couldn't help but feel a burst of curiosity in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Wang Guxian." Zeng Zhiwei bluntly said Wang Guxian's name, and then explained: "Ah Chen, don't look at him as a debaucher, in fact, he values love and righteousness, especially for friends and family. In his heart, Xiaoxian must be the best candidate to play Nie Xiaoqian. If you can say that Xiaoxian is making a comeback, then this thing is done. Otherwise, you'll have to find someone else to work with. It's just that Xiaoxian has been out of film for almost a year, and now the movie is completely ticket-playing for her, and if you want to say that it will not be easy for her to make a comeback. ”
"I also think that Miss Wang is the best candidate to play Nie Xiaoqian, but I am not familiar with her, you see if you can ......" As long as you have watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", you will think that Nie Xiaoqian should be like Wang Guxian. If Wang Guxian can be asked to be the heroine of the second part, Xu Ke will naturally raise his hands in favor, but as he said, he and Wang Guxian are not familiar at all. How to convince people.
"Don't look at me like that, I can't help with this." Zeng Zhiwei saw Xu Ke's thoughts at a glance, and refused without thinking about it, not that he didn't want to help his friend, but that he couldn't help, otherwise Gu Chen would know, and he would think that he was colluding with Xu Ke.
Xu Ke also knew that he was a little strong, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out to myself to persuade Miss Wang, but I still want to thank you for reminding me." He looked at his watch and said, "Are you free for dinner in the evening?" ”
Zeng Zhiwei shirked and said: "Another day, I made an appointment today." ”
"Alright, I'll go first." Xu Ke was not reluctant, he got up and said goodbye and left, Zeng Zhiwei sent people out of the office, and was about to return to the office, and the "boba" secretary who had been for him for almost three years said sourly: "Miss Ye came to you just now, and she left knowing that you were receiving guests." ”
Hearing the words 'Miss Ye', Zeng Zhiwei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said he knew, so he entered the office, and then saw that he couldn't wait to take out the so-called 'Miss Ye' in the secretary's mouth and make a call. After waiting for a few minutes, a woman dressed sexy, with a hot body, especially a pair of huge breasts, stepped on high heels and walked into the office.
A smile appeared on Zeng Zhiwei's face, his smile was a little obscene, and he leaned on the back of the chair and said, "I don't know how Miss Ye thinks about it?" ”
Ye Zilin bit his lower lip and nodded silently. Seeing this, the smile on Zeng Zhiwei's face became even more obscene, he put his hands on the armrests, stood up, walked around the desk to Ye Zilin, stretched out his right hand, and unceremoniously put his hand on Ye Zilin's waist, gently stroked it a few times and gradually declined: "It's dinner time, I've already set a place, let's go eat together." ”
It seems that he didn't deliberately shirk when he told Xu Ke that he had made an appointment tonight, but the way he made an appointment and the person he made an appointment with was really ...... And he was standing next to the leaf lintel and was actually half a head short of the leaf lintel, the scene looked quite funny, but it was obvious that he was not conscious at all.
"Don't worry, as long as you make me happy, I will naturally fulfill my promise."
……
During dinner in the evening, Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke with a worried look, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" The soul is not guarded. ”
"Oh, it's fine." Xu Ke replied casually, and then said: "In the afternoon, I went to Awei's place and talked about "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”
Shi Nansheng's attention was immediately attracted, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it, did Chen Shao agree?" ”
Although it was Xu Ke's decision to invest in the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", she also supported it, not to mention that she and Xu Ke are husband and wife, which can be described as both prosperity and loss, so she naturally cares about the fact that "A Chinese Ghost Story" can start filming smoothly.
Xu Ke shook his head and said, "No, but Ah Wei gave me a trick and asked me to find a way to persuade Wang Guxian to come back, as long as Wang Guxian can come back, then this will be done." ”
Shi Nansheng nodded approvingly, and said, "This is indeed a good way, are you thinking about how to convince Wang Guxian?" Seeing Xu Ke nodding, Shi Nansheng couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't you usually have ideas, why don't you have ideas when it comes to the critical moment." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ke was suddenly shocked: "What, you have a way?" ”
"You and I are not familiar with Wang Guxian, go to her, unless she is willing to come back, it will definitely not work. But if we can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't either, aren't you planning to find Rong Shao to play Ning Caichen, maybe it's not appropriate to let Rong Shao go to Chen Shao, but it should be okay to convince Wang Guxian, right? ”
Xu Ke suddenly realized: "Yes, I just thought about what reason I should find to persuade Wang Guxian, but I forgot about the others, with the relationship between Rong Shao and Wang Guxian, no matter how he goes, it is more suitable than me, no, I have to call Rong Shao immediately." ”
Shi Nansheng stopped Xu Ke: "You haven't talked to Rong Shao about letting him star in the sequel, how can you let him convince Wang Guxian?" Let's eat first, and when dinner is over, you call to see if he's free tonight, let's go talk to him together, if he is willing to star in the sequel, and then tell him about Wang Guxian, if he doesn't want to, this matter seems to be difficult, there are so many actors in Hong Kong, there are not many suitable for playing Ning Caichen. ”
Hearing Shi Nansheng say this, Xu Kecai realized that he was a little confused about Wang Guxian's thoughts, and now the first thing to do is to persuade Zhang Guorong, as Shi Nansheng said, there are really not many actors in Hong Kong who are suitable for playing Ning Caichen, plus there must be enough fame, it is even more difficult to find, at least except for Zhang Guorong, he can't think of a second one, the most important thing is that he wants to shoot a sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story", just like the audience thinks that Nie Xiaoqian should be like Wang Guxian, The audience has also defaulted to Zhang Guorong's image of Ning Caichen, this is the profound impact of a classic film, if Zhang Guorong can't star in this sequel, it will definitely lose a lot of old audiences, and at the same time increase the risk of his investment. So if Zhang Guorong is unwilling to take it, he doesn't even have to look for Wang Guxian, because at that time he will have to consider whether to suspend the plan to shoot the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story".
After being silent for a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, this matter seems to be really troublesome, let's eat first, and we'll add it up later." ”
"Of course, it's not so easy to invest in a large-scale zuò movie, otherwise Uncle Six wouldn't have to pull down his face to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty."
