"Listening to Mr. Xu say this, it seems to introduce cooking skills into movies, and it is like making kung fu movies." Hong Jingbao couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.

Although the story told by Xu Guanwu is about cooking, the routine is a kung fu film, but the martial arts cheats have become recipes. The teaching of martial arts by master and apprentice becomes the teaching of cooking skills, and the martial arts competition becomes the battle of the god of food......

"Yes, kung fu movies have been made so far, and I think everyone is a little tired of it. And even if everyone still shoots, in fact, the audience is tired of watching it. This can be seen from the box office revenue in the past two years, and the box office of kung fu comedies in the early Republic of China is declining year by year. So you might as well change your tricks and make new ones. Xu Guanwu nodded and agreed, agreeing with Hong Jingbao's opinion, "Everyone knows that Chinese cuisine is well-known all over the world, especially Hong Kong cuisine, which is a fusion of East and West, and the Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown are very famous in the United States. By bringing food to the screen, we will not only attract local moviegoers in Hong Kong, but also bring new experiences to moviegoers in the United States. ”

"Mr. Xu's idea sounds really good." Cheng Long nodded and said, "In fact, in addition to kung fu, we also have food in Hong Kong. Those of us who go to Hollywood to develop can't follow the old path of European and American actors, and we will never succeed in that way. On the contrary, we should show our own characteristics in order to be able to stand out in Hollywood and become a real superstar. In addition to kung fu and kicks, I think there are many oriental characteristics that can be shown to the American audience. For example, the famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, whose films with Japanese characteristics are very popular in the United States. As far as I know, there are many American directors who have been influenced by him and think that he is a veritable film master in the world. ”

Xu Guanwu listened to Cheng Long's words. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of Cheng Long, who had never liked to read. It was really unexpected that there would be such a deep thought.

"No wonder there are so many people in Hong Kong who know kung fu, only Cheng Longhong has the longest time." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nodded approvingly. Cheng Long's words are not only very in-depth but also very insightful, which coincide with many of his ideas, which really makes him appreciate it very much.

"Aaron is right, if we want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, we must not simply imitate European and American stars." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Because we are from Hong Kong." No matter how much we imitate it, we are inherently at a disadvantage based on skin color and physiognomy alone. If we still run along other people's paths, then we will always be left behind. So in order to surpass them, we have to find our own way. It's important to establish your own identity and style, and since people know that we are from Hong Kong, we should simply play to our unique Hong Kong characteristics. ”

"I understand what Mr. Xu said." Yuan Biao nodded and said, "In fact, in addition to kung fu and food, we have many other characteristics in Hong Kong. For example, our unique ghost worship; For example, the beauty of our Hong Kong; For example, our associations in Hong Kong and so on. In fact, if there is a suitable opportunity, these can also be made into movies. ”

Xu Guanwu smiled. Unexpectedly, Yuan Biao also had his own discovery, which was too surprising to him. "Everyone said very well, Hong Kong is the center of cultural exchange between China and the West, and there are many characteristics that cannot be seen elsewhere. Therefore, we must not think that Hong Kong is a cultural desert, in fact, I think it is a cultural gold mine. Yuan Biao's ghost worship, community culture, food culture, martial arts culture, and Xianxia culture...... These can all be carried into the film in the future. As long as we are willing to use our brains, even Hollywood is not difficult to conquer. ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

"Mr. Xu, what you said is fantastic." Hong Jingbao took the lead in applauding and said, "Then I'll take this movie back and shoot it, and I'll give you news to Mr. Xu when I get back." ”

"Well, my story is just a rough idea, you go back and find the screenwriter to revise it." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Remember to make good revisions, don't treat them so-so." This movie is about whether you can successfully establish yourself in Hollywood in the future. ”

"We know it, Mr. Xu, we will definitely deal with it." Hong Jingbao nodded.

……

After Hong Jingbao and the three left, Xu Guanwu was still very happy. Because all three of them are now mature and start to have their own thoughts and ideas, which really makes him happy, because when the filmmaker learns to think for himself, it is also the time when his artistic career rises. From now on, the three of them are no longer just popular stars, but have become real filmmakers.

Just when Xu Guanwu was happy about the maturity of Hong Jingbao and the others, he suddenly heard a phone ringing, Xu Guanwu picked it up and listened to it, but he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was Deng Lijun's voice on the other side of the phone.

"Stanley, congratulations, you have both children." Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"Terry Wade?! Where are you now, have you come back to Hong Kong? Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.

"No, I'm still in Japan." Deng Lijun said, "So the news is two days late, now I want to say hello to you, isn't it too late?" ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "How did you know the news?" ”

"There are also news reports about the Hong Kong entertainment industry on the Japanese side, but it's not very timely." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "By the way, are the two babies beautiful?" ”

"The daughter is more beautiful, and the son is uglier." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "People say that my daughter looks like Qingxia, and my son looks a little like me." ”

"It's okay, boys, even if they look ordinary, there will definitely be girls who like them. On the other hand, if the girl is pretty, it will make the parents worry a lot. Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"I didn't think of that yet." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I hope my daughter can grow up to be sensible, don't make me angry, otherwise I will probably not recognize her." ”

"You have a hard mouth now, and you won't be reluctant to do it then." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "Ah Zhi and Qingxia are both fine, right?" Have you been discharged from the hospital now? ”

"I had already been discharged from the hospital, and I had planned to take them to Australia for a few days to avoid the limelight in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, they refused to die, saying that because they had not tasted the taste of being a star for a long time since they were pregnant, they wanted to borrow the baby's light to enjoy it again. I really don't understand their strange mentality. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but complain.

"It's actually quite simple. Because you're not a star. So naturally you don't understand. Deng Lijun said with a smile. Although every celebrity says that reporters are so annoying, every time they secretly follow the film, it is difficult for people to go out and do things. In fact, I wish there were more reporters following me. This is actually the careful thinking of celebrities. Qingxia and Ah Zhi were both the most popular actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan before, and they have been trapped at home for ten months for you, and now they can finally be freed, so naturally they have to make up for it. ”

"I see, it seems that you and they have a common topic." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Actually, what's so good about being a star." If I want to make money, I can feed them. ”

"Hehe, when a star is in the limelight, that feeling of being adored can't be bought with money." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "Besides, Ah Zhi and Qingxia are not people who are willing to be canaries at home, so why do you have to trap them?" ”

"You're also a canary who won't be a canary." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "How are you staying in Japan?" ”

"It's okay, the fans here are very enthusiastic, and there are a lot of fans who come to cheer for every performance." Deng Lijun smiled. "Actually, I envy Qingxia and Ah Zhi, they already have their own babies now. But I'm still alone. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sigh when he heard her say this, "Teresa, they have me now, although Qingxia and I don't have that piece of paper, but at least we have a substantial reputation, even if we have children, we will be recognized by everyone." But Teresa, you have always refused to disclose our relationship, and it will be very troublesome if you are found out by the outside world after you have a child in the future. ”

"I know it, so I'm not going to have children right now." Deng Lijun said sadly, "When I feel that I have sung enough, I will directly announce my retirement from the music scene, and then I will give birth to a child for you, and then I will take him to hide and find a place where no one can find me to live." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel sad when he heard her say this, "Actually, why do you bother, it's not that I can't afford to support you." Even if you want to be free, I won't stop you, just let me raise you, okay? ”

"No, I've actually made a lot of money over the years, and I've invested all of it. I have bought several properties in Tokyo, Japan, and the prospect of appreciation is very good. Deng Lijun refused, "I always think that men and women must remain financially independent, otherwise there will be a dependency mentality." ”

"This ......" Xu Guanwu didn't know what to say after hearing it, but he didn't expect Deng Lijun to look like a little woman, but in fact, he was a big woman's mind in his heart.

"Okay, if you have time, come to Tokyo to see me, I'll hang up first." Deng Lijun said, and hung up the phone.

Hearing a beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to smile bitterly and hang up the phone.

……

Although Deng Lijun wanted Xu Guanwu to cross the sea to see her, Xu Guanwu really missed her in his heart, but now he really can't spare time. Now that the baby has just been born, he is naturally reluctant to leave the child behind and run to Tokyo alone. Second, it will be Christmas in two months, and now the company is busy up and down, and there are so many things that I can't get out of it at all.

After the three brothers of Hong Jingbao got the synopsis of Xu Guanwu's story, they immediately found Huang Bingyao and others to start writing screenplays. Huang Bingyao made up the script in three times and divided five by two, and gave it to Hong Jingbao to read it, but he was not very satisfied. Huang Bingyao is known as the military master of the bridge king, and his skills in making jokes are quite profound, but he is short in terms of the rationality of the script. If this script is only released in Hong Kong, it will definitely be able to achieve a good box office, but if it is released in Hollywood, the story is still not enough.

The most critical point is that American audiences watch movies more carefully, and they like to investigate the reasonableness of them, if the story is not told satisfactorily and there are obvious loopholes, they will definitely be disliked by fans.

When Hong Jingbao and the three of them were filming "Cannonball Speed", although they only played small roles, but these three characters also have their own identity settings, and each person has different ways of dealing with things because of their age, personality, thoughts, education level, and growth experience.

When they see a thick set of characters, they can't help but admire the professionalism of European and American screenwriters. Compared with those professional screenwriters in Europe and the United States, Huang Bingyao, who is halfway through the family and only knows how to make jokes, is inevitably a little worse.

Huang Bingyao revised twice in a row but still did not meet Hong Jingbao's requirements, and finally had to unite Huang Baiming, Wang Jing, Situ An and other top screenwriters of the Xu family, and everyone revised together, and finally came up with a script that satisfied Hong Jingbao.

And through this matter, these screenwriters have also benefited a lot. Originally, they were just halfway home, and the scripts they wrote were only good-looking, exciting, funny, exciting, and often a little worse in terms of rationality, but now they finally make up for this moment, and they don't dare to be careless in the future.
