Chapter 395, the most handsome and happy ghost
"Haha!" Seeing that Wang Jing's face was still swollen, there were several wounds! Lei Weidong almost pitched and laughed.
"Laugh if you want! Today I'm used to it! Wang Jing didn't care.
"Sorry, I can't help it!" Lei Weidong asked while beckoning Yang Mi to pour tea.
"Auntie, how much do you owe! Those people beat you like this! ”
To be honest, Lei Weidong is a little curious, although loan sharks eat people and do not spit out bones, most of them seek wealth rather than life, as long as they can repay the money, they generally do not beat people.
And Wang Jing and his father are both well-known figures in Hong Kong, and they have the ability to repay, and the time is longer at most!
"It's my bad luck, that tiger brother, I robbed him of his horse in a nightclub, but I ran into a new account yesterday and the old account was settled together!"
Wang Jing said pitifully: "Lei Shao, you must help me this time, otherwise my mother will be finished!" ”
"Alright, don't pretend to be pathetic to me! I don't know about you yet! Lei Weidong handed over the prepared check and waved his hand to tell Wang Jing not to continue.
"Lei Shao, thank you!" Wang Jing looked at the numbers on the check and immediately became active.
"Look at how this script goes!" Lei Weidong handed over the script of "Happy Ghost".
As soon as Wang Jing heard that it was a script, he immediately put away the check, took the script and read it carefully.
After watching it carefully for half an hour, Wang Jing praised:
"Not bad! Lei Shao, this script is very good, not only the story is cleverly conceived, but the most rare thing is that there is no big scene, I estimated that the cost can be controlled at 600,000, plus post-production at most 800,000.
It's just that it's hard to say whether it will be popular when it is filmed, after all, ghost movies are no longer popular, although this script is different from traditional ghost movies! ”
"It doesn't matter if I'm popular or not, anyway, it's just my hands-on production, and the fat man will be my assistant director! The check just now will be used as your director's fee. ”
The reason why Lei Weidong pulled Wang Jing to be an assistant director is very simple, as long as anyone with a brain knows that the distance between watching a movie and making a movie is as far as heaven and earth.
Although Lei Weidong has a special experience and has countless classic films in his mind, he does not dare to guarantee that the films he shoots will be successful.
"Yes, but Lei Shao, how are you going to choose the actors in it! Are there any requirements! ”
Although it is a bit cheap to be an assistant director for Lei Weidong, a rookie, who made Lei Weidong rich, and Wang Jing still owes him favors.
At that time, when filming Qianwang, he promised to be an assistant director for Lei Weidong.
But a fat man is a fat man after all, and in a blink of an eye, he attracted the attention of the actors in the movie to see if he could take advantage of the opportunity.
"Actors don't need to use big names!" Lei Weidong thought about it for a while and said.
After all, the heroine and the supporting actress are both young and beautiful students, just find some newcomers, and the same goes for the male protagonist, no fame is required, as long as he is handsome.
To put it bluntly, "Happy Ghost" is a youth idol drama, what you want is handsome men and beautiful women, as for the school, you don't have to bother to shoot directly in St. Stephen's Church Middle School, that is, the dormitory is a little troublesome.
After all, St. Stephen's Church is not a boarding school and does not have a dormitory.
"The dormitory building is easy to do! There are so many aristocratic schools in Hong Kong, and you can get it for a little money when the time comes! Lei Shao, do you have anyone to choose these three heroines? ”
"Why, do you have the right candidate, or do you want to have unspoken rules!" Lei Weidong looked at Wang Jing's round face and said:
"Lin Xiaohua, you don't have to think about it, you have already decided that Ah Hong, as for that Lin Jingjing, starring Wen Bixuan, and that flowery man will be played by me!"
"Then there will only be one heroine and a male protagonist and some supporting roles that no one will play!" Wang Jing folded his hands and counted how many roles he could come up with.
"Don't forget it, I'll give you a list of movie roles, and you can help me match the actors according to the above character image and personality." Looking at Wang Jing's appearance, Lei Weidong was a little funny.
"No, then I'm not going to be a casting director?" Wang Jing hurriedly shook his head and said.
Although the casting director holds the power of life and death of some young actors, a sentence can give you a chance to show your face, and if you are unhappy, you will not be given a role that suits you!
But for people like Wang Jing, it's a bit of a decline, after all, he is a person who has been a director.
Lei Weidong said with a smile: "If you understand it like this, it's okay, isn't the assistant director doing this!" You'd better get the cast together as soon as possible. ”
Wang Jing was a little deflated when he heard this, but people don't bow their heads under the eaves, and now their whole family relies on Lei Weidong for food, and they are losing face to do it.
Lei Weidong said: "The actor of "Happy Ghost", who is suitable for you to see? It is said that it must be young and handsome. ”
"Young and handsome! It's a bit out of the script! Wang Jing scratched his ears and thought for a long time, and asked out loud:
"Lei Shao, what do you think of Zhang Guorong?"
"Leslie Cheung! Isn't he a singer! I can come to act! ”
As soon as Wang Jing said Lei Weidong, he remembered the image of the scholar Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story", the image of this weak scholar has influenced a generation.
And the happy ghost was a down-and-out scholar in his previous life, even if he wore an official robe, it was only appropriate for Zhang Guorong to play it. ”
"Don't worry! Zhang Guorong's kid likes acting the most, as long as he can act, he doesn't need money! ”
Wang Jing explained with a smile.
I understand Zhang Guorong and Wang Jing very well, unlike those who entered the showbiz in order to get rid of poverty, Zhang Guorong was born rich and noble, and singing and acting are completely hobbies.
As early as decades ago, Cheung Kwok-rong's father opened his own dress shop in a prime location in Central, selling the latest Hollywood fashion at that time.
Famous director Hitchcock, actor Gary Grant, Marlon Brando and other Hollywood superstars have ordered clothes from Zhang Guorong's father.
At that time, Zhang Guorong's father was called 'Tailor-King', and as long as his name was embroidered on the clothes, he could sell it for an extra 100 yuan.
That's 100 yuan twenty or thirty years ago, which is much more valuable than it is now.
Zhang Guorong, who had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, grew up like this, and later, like many rich second generations, wanted to make some achievements on his own, so he joined the acting and singing industry.
If it weren't for the support of his family, with the little money Zhang Guorong earned from filming and singing, how could he go to the Oriental Culture Hotel for afternoon tea every day.
Zhang Guorong is also very interested in acting, and last year he also filmed a "Spring in Red Mansions", although he was deceived into the crew, it also shows Zhang Guorong's yearning for movies.
It doesn't matter if you can only film or not!
"Spring on Spring in Red Mansions", Wang Jing remembered this classic Red Mansion III film as soon as he mentioned Lei Weidong.
Of course, this film is a classic not because the film is so good that it captures the essence of Dream of Red Mansions, but because the heroes and heroines of this movie are Zhang Guorong and Xiugu.
Of course, these two handsome men and beauties were tricked into it by Wu Siyuan, and when they signed the contract and filmed, they didn't say that it was a third-level film.
When it was filmed, Zhang Guorong happily ran to watch the movie starring him, only to find out that he was actually shooting a glamorous and romantic movie.
Wu Siyuan is bad enough, after the movie was filmed, Zhang Guorong and Xiugu left the crew, and found someone to shoot some large-scale shots.
Then edit the shots together as you edit.
is like the classic martial arts drama "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" in the mainland, which was adapted into the cityman version after it was introduced to Hong Kong.
Except for XXOO's footage that makes up for the QJ plot in the original version, which seems to be full of masturbation, it is really useless, and the plot of the reshoot and the original plot are not connected at all, and the editing is messy, and people are confused.
However, because the plot is not connected, people know that this is a remake.
However, the content of "Spring in Red Mansions" is seamless!
Although these large-scale shots are not played by Zhang Guorong, who else can tell them apart from me?
It's a pity that my brother and Xiugu are the golden boy and girl.
Xiugu and her brother standing together is really a boundless and beautiful scenery, both of them were born so beautiful, originally this pair of children joined hands to perform Bao Daihe should be a good story, who knew that it was filmed like this, so that the two of them didn't want to mention it in the future.
And the direct consequence of this movie is that Zhang Guorong does not dare to take on other movies.
This unlucky rich second-generation child has never encountered such a thing and was frightened.
"The actor will choose Zhang Guorong, and there is a heroine, do you have a suitable candidate? It's best to be young and beautiful, but also have acting skills. Lei Weidong asked.
"Young and beautiful, you have to have acting skills. Lei Shao, are you looking for an actor or a lover. Wang Jing said with a wicked smile
"Don't change the subject, do you have the right person?" Lei Weidong didn't want to answer Wang Jing's question.
"Of course, Guan Shan's daughter is more suitable." As soon as it came to beauties, Wang Jing became interested: "It's called Guan Jiahui, a very beautiful little girl." ”
"Guan Jiahui, why is this name so familiar." Lei Weidong muttered in his heart.
Guan Shan, Lei Weidong has heard of it.
This is the first Hong Kong actor to win an award at an international film festival and has made many films.
In the 70s, Guan Shan opened a film company and became his own boss, and everything went smoothly at first, but then the literary films fell behind, and the box office of the literary films directed by Guan Shan lost again and again, and because of the failure of investment, he finally had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
is now taking over dramas in Hong Kong and Taiwan as a free person, and most of the films are literary films.
And the reason why Lei Weidong is familiar with Guan Shan is because of her daughter Guan Zhilin, who is the first beauty in Hong Kong.
is also a well-known husband killer in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, a rich lover, especially golf.
Lei Weidong has always wanted to find out the truth of the matter in his previous life, but unfortunately he can't find the detailed process on the Internet, and the person concerned has always denied it.
However, as soon as someone mentioned this matter in front of Guan Da Beauty, Guan Da Beauty immediately became angry, and it is estimated that this matter is not groundless.
Could it be that he has two daughters, or is Guan Jiahui Guan Zhilin, Lei Weidong muttered in his heart.
