Gu Chen sat down in the office just now for a while, Zeng Zhiwei didn't call himself as usual, but this time he came faster than usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to say: "You are really good, even Zhao Yazhi you can take it, what other woman in this world can escape from your palm." ”

On the way to the company, Ouyang Lan had already told him about the report in the newspaper, and Gu Chen was also very helpless about it, blaming him for his light being too dazzling, and his every move would attract the attention of the media. At this time, when he heard Zeng Zhiwei say this, he didn't deliberately deny it, but said angrily: "Don't talk like a demon in color." Hurry up and get down to business, the first-day box office of "Blade" should come out. ”

"Just know that you care about this." Zeng Zhiwei handed the document in his hand to Gu Chen, and continued: "It is said that a talented man is romantic, a romantic talent, you are a great talent recognized by Hong Kong people, and the romance is naturally recognized by all Hong Kong people, and it is not an ordinary romantic ......"

"If you don't speak, you'll die." Gu Chen raised his head and glared at Zeng Zhiwei fiercely, his current mood is not very good, now that he and Zhao Yazhi are already like this, he can't tolerate Zhao Yazhi lying in the arms of other men anymore, but he can't think of any good way, and in the end, he can only let Ah Long send people to pay close attention to everything about Zhao Yazhi. It can be said that Zeng Zhiwei hit the muzzle of the gun directly.

Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly closed his mouth in amusement, but he was still heartbroken, look at what Gu Chen's women are, Zhou Huimin, Wang Guxian, Li Zhi, Guan Zhilin, Qiu Shuzhen, and now plus a national goddess Zhao Yazhi, almost all the most beautiful actresses in Hong Kong have been wiped out. What man would not be envious and jealous of such a man, including him, of course.

Detailed data Gu Chen only glanced at it a few times, and then directly turned to the last page: 3.87 million. Gu Chen smiled when he saw this number, if he remembered correctly, this is the highest single-day box office of Hong Kong movies so far, it is obvious that "Blade" is destined to set a series of records for Hong Kong films.

Zeng Zhiwei also got down to business: "The response from the media is also quite good, the reports are mainly positive, in addition to the special effects being affirmed, the most concerned should be Donnie Yen." Today's newspaper commented that he is another kung fu superstar in Hong Kong after Bruce Lee and Cheng Long. ”

"Also, I asked for it myself. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other regions have responded very well, although the box office has not yet come out, but it will not be lower than "Top Secret Person". ”

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Blade Warrior has been well received. Self-quality is naturally the main factor. But you ignore one thing, "Blade" is strictly the first special effects blockbuster in Hong Kong, and the attitude of the media will naturally be relatively tolerant, and latecomers will not have this kind of treatment. ”

"As for Donnie Yen, I expected him to receive attention for a long time, in fact, I have always felt that his potential is much greater than that of Cheng Long, for example, Donnie Yen is a real kung fu, while Cheng Long is just a showman. So it's only a matter of time before Donnie Yen superpowers the process dragon. ”

Zeng Zhiwei knew that Gu Chen had always been uninterested in Cheng Long. Now that there is a Donnie Yen, he is almost certain that Gu Chen will let Donnie Yen replace Jackie Chan. And he also has something to say about Cheng Long: """Police Story 2" starring Cheng Long benefited from Golden Harvest's huge investment in publicity, and the box office in the first two days of its release was very good, 2.68 million and 2.51 million respectively, if there is no accident, the box office will exceed 30 million. It's a pity that on the third day, when I met "Blade", the box office immediately plummeted, only 1.96 million. ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he said with a smile: "I'm afraid not only "Police Story 2", but also other movies in the same schedule as "Blade" will be affected. ”

Zeng Zhiwei also said with a smile: "I'm sure Zou Wenhuai is definitely scolding his mother now, according to my estimates, "Police Story 2" spent millions of dollars on publicity alone, Zou Wenhuai can be said to have used all the methods that can be used, but the result still ended in a fiasco." ”

"Hehe, I don't know if Zou Wenhuai is scolding my mother, but I know that the time for negotiation has come, you can help me make an appointment with Zou Wenhuai tomorrow, I should have a good talk with him."

Zeng Zhiwei naturally knew what Gu Chen asked Zou Wenhuai to talk about, thinking of the final possibility, his heart couldn't help but start to get excited: "Okay, I'll call him in person tomorrow morning, in the face of today's dismal performance of Jiahe, I think Zou Wenhuai will be willing to sit down and talk about it." ”

"Hopefully." Gu Chen had a faint smile on his face, obviously optimistic about the outcome of the negotiations. Then I saw him pick up the two documents that had been prepared on the left hand side and threw them in front of Zeng Zhiwei: "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that there was no movie to make, you can take these three scripts and take a look." ”

Zeng Zhiwei looked at the names of the two scripts, the top script is called "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Hair", looking at the name, you can know that the Tao is a comedy, and the following two scripts are called "Myth" and the other is called "Resident Evil", and the name alone looks extraordinary.

At this time, Gu Chen spoke: ""The Secret Agent of the Great Interior" is a comedy, with Xing Tsai as the leading actor, Wang Jing as the director, and you can watch the other actors." ”

Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy The whole drama revolves around Zhou Xingchi, and the light of other actors will inevitably be covered, such as Qiu Shuzhen played the heroine in Zhou Xingchi's "The Saint of Gambling", but the whole play does not have much presence in the eyes of the audience, it can be said that the audience went to watch "The Saint of Gambling" to see how funny Zhou Xingchi was, and Qiu Shuzhen was just a foil even if she acted well.

So much so that he didn't bother to think about who should be the heroine of this play, but left it directly to Zeng Zhiwei to decide.

"The background of the script "Myth" is the Qin Dynasty, which tells a love story that travels through time and space, the male protagonist Meng Yi is played by Donnie Yen, and I haven't thought about the choice of the heroine Princess Yushu yet, you help me with the staff. I don't think there is anyone in Hong Kong who is suitable for the director, but I have one outside Hong Kong, do you know "Red Sorghum", which won the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival? ”

"Zhilu Dao, it was filmed by a director named Zhang Yimou in the mainland, and it was quite a sensation when he won the award, and the Hong Kong media also reported it, your candidate will not be this Zhang Yimou, right?"

"That's right, you can find a way to help me get in touch and see if he's willing to direct this movie." Of course, Gu Chen knew that the director of the original version of "Myth" was Tang Yuli, but the current Tang Yuli is still mixing wirelessly, and I am afraid that he does not have the skills to shoot the current "Myth".

After thinking about all the Hong Kong directors, he didn't find any of them that he thought was suitable, and then he turned his attention to the mainland, and Zhang Yimou naturally became his number one choice. And when thinking of Zhang Yimou, he actually thought of a candidate to play Princess Yushu, that is, Gong Li, the heroine of "Red Sorghum". In Gu Chen's opinion, Gong Li is very consistent with Princess Yushu in terms of appearance and temperament, and now that Kim Hee-sun is just a child, Gong Li is undoubtedly one of the best candidates to play Princess Yushu.

The reason why I say it is one is because Wang Guxian is the heroine he originally set, Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story" made Wang Guxian one of the most beautiful actors in Hong Kong's ancient costumes, maybe this 'one' can be removed in the hearts of many people, such as Gu Chen.

The two candidates made it difficult for Gu Chen to choose for a while, and after the end, he decided to ask Wang Guxian's opinion first, if Wang Guxian was willing to act, he would have no reason not to agree.

Zeng Zhiwei is still very clear about how many directors can win the Golden Bear Award, he immediately agreed, and decided to check the information of this Zhang Yimou later. And from the choice of director, it can be seen that Gu Chen attaches great importance to this film, at least more than Zhou Xingchi's "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Hair".

"Resident Evil is a special effects blockbuster that combines sci-fi, action, and thriller, and I decided to make it one of the company's main films in the first half of next year, with the same budget as Blade. In the end, there are two heroines in this play, the female number one is played by Li Zhi, the female number two I haven't thought about for the time being, and the male number one is played by Liu Dehua. In addition, there are many important characters in the film, and you have prepared a list for me these days. As for the director, I think Lin Lingdong is quite suitable. Of course, the final candidate for the director does not have to be Lin Lingdong, you take the script back first, and if there is a more suitable candidate, we will discuss it. ”

Gu Chen watched Lin Lingdong's famous work Fengyun Trilogy in his previous life, and felt that Lin Lingdong's movies always gave people a feeling of depression, and depression and tension were exactly what "Resident Evil" needed. But in his memory, Lin Lingdong doesn't seem to have made a big-budget movie, so he can't be sure whether Lin Lingdong can control a sci-fi film like "Resident Evil", which integrates action and thriller.

Hearing that "Resident Evil" is another big-budget movie comparable to "Blade", Zeng Zhiwei's eyes lit up, saying that although "Blade" has not yet been released in countries and regions outside Asia, Derrank? Bruce and the rest of the executives were very confident after seeing the film, and they have decided to maximize the number of theaters and schedules for "Blade".

In the case that the Asian box office can recoup its costs and make a lot of profits, the more theaters and schedules EGK distribution company arranges for "Blade", it means that Tang Dynasty films can make more money, and you must know that he can have a 10% stake in Tang Dynasty films.

Seeing that "Blade" will have a lot of dollars in his account, Gu Chen took out "Resident Evil" at this time, how can he not make Zeng Zhiwei excited.

It seems that he has never thought about what to do if the film loses money in his head. (To be continued......)
