Chapter 3: "Horror Cruise"

The next morning, Zuomi gave him a check for 50 million yuan, and only said: "Do it well!" ”

He was impressed by this unconditional trust.

In September 03, the Xiangjiang film market was still very sluggish, and Uncle Long's "Spy Maze" two years ago made Golden Harvest, which was in the limelight in the 90s, lose nearly 140 million Hong Kong dollars.

The "Infernal Affairs" series is still forcibly renewing the life of Xiangjiang films.

And next year's star "Kung Fu" is the last glory of Hong Kong films.

Zuo Mu is still very glad that he was not reborn to the period of immortal fights in the 90s.

He wanted to be more than just a director, but something bigger.

After getting the check, Zuo Mu put a wad of paper into a cowhide envelope and went out.

Looking at the various luxury cars in the garage, he still decided to take a taxi.

First go to the bank and transfer the 50 million given by Zuo Mi into his account, plus some of his own deposits, his account now has a total of 58.76 million.

Then I went to my home seafood shop and bought some high-end seafood.

After a busy day for a long time, the time was close to noon, and at this moment the phone rang.

"Hey, Uncle Sanmao, yes, Da Hongtu, what?! You've arrived? I'll be right away! ”

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Mu took a taxi and went straight to Dahongtu Restaurant.

He's going to meet someone very important today.

Da Hung Tu Restaurant, a famous restaurant in Xiangjiang, the full name is Zuo Ji Da Hung Tu Bao Wing Restaurant.

It's their left family's property.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a conspicuous fat man standing at the door of the restaurant and taking pictures with passers-by.

The fat man was dressed in a black T-shirt, his hair was a little gray, and his face was a little fierce, but he smiled very kindly.

"Uncle Sanmao!"

Zuo Mu, who got out of the car, waved at the fat man with his things.

The fat man apologized to the passers-by and walked towards Zuo Mu.

"Wood!!" The fat man shouted angrily, and then laughed and hugged Zuo Mu in his arms.

The fat man is the "big brother" Hong Jinbao who is famous in Hong Kong.

"Uncle Sanmao, how are you doing lately?" Zuo Mu was still a little excited.

After all, I watched a lot of movies about this big guy in my previous life.

"It's not worn, it's not rotten, I can eat and sleep!"

Hong Jinbao let go of Zuo Mu in his arms and said with a smile.

The lunch market was full, but fortunately he asked the manager to reserve a private room early last night.

Zuo Mu obediently poured a cup of tea for Hong Jinbao and handed over the seafood.

"Uncle Sanmao, I was ignorant some time ago, and a small gift is not a tribute, thank you Uncle Sanmao for taking care of me."

Hong Jinbao laughed. Grab the seafood and set it aside.

"It's just a trivial matter, who doesn't make a mistake when you're young, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, Brother Zuo and sister-in-law went so young, leaving you two sisters and brothers, and those of us who are uncles have the responsibility to watch you."

Hong Jinbao took a sip of tea, and he saw that the nephew's expression was a little gloomy, obviously not out of the shadow of his parents' death.

He has a great relationship with the Zuo family, in the past, when the old man Zuo was still alive, he was a good actor, and he helped their drama troupe, and he was the big financier of their drama troupe.

This friendship has lasted all the way to the present day.

Zuo Mi and Zuo Mu's two siblings also grew up under his watch.

"Don't be sad, people always have to look forward, and Brother Zuo and sister-in-law don't want to see you like this in the sky."

Hong Jinbao sighed and patted him on the back.

Zuo Mu's eyes were slightly red and he smiled: "Uncle Sanmao, I'm fine." ”

Even a blind man can see that something is wrong with you.

Hong Jinbao hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Eh, wood, didn't you tell me last night that you want to make a movie, should you, which female star did you fall in love with?" ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at him.

"No, no, Uncle Sanmao, I really want to make a movie, and I have written the script."

Zuo Mu remembered the matter at this time, and hurriedly showed Hong Jinbao the script he wrote overnight last night.

Hong Jinbao took a look, and there were four big words written on the cover - "Horror Cruise".

Listening to the name is a thriller, which is not the genre he is good at, but it doesn't matter, after all, he is also a director and has the ability to judge whether a script is good or bad.

Nothing happens in the first two acts, just a brief introduction to the characters and background.

Then, Zuo Mu saw that Uncle Sanmao's expression began to change.

From the beginning of the relaxation, with the sound of the paper turning becomes solemn, and finally shows a puzzled expression.

He flipped through the script again, and the words were still in his mouth.

Then go back a third time.

I kept turning it over five times, but the puzzled expression still didn't disappear.

Resisting the urge to turn it over the sixth time, he grabbed the script and asked with a serious expression: "Wood, to be honest, how much did you spend to buy this script?" ”

"Uncle Sanmao, this script didn't cost money, I wrote it myself."

Zuo Mu said without a red face and without a heartbeat.

"Bang!"

Hong Jinbao slammed the table, and the dishes on the table immediately jumped high on the spot, startling him.

"Wood, sell me this script, I'll pay two million!"

Hong Jinbao's face flushed, he knew very well how good this script was.

It's not as haunting as traditional thrillers, but it's much scarier than those traditional thrillers.

The first time he watched it, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy, especially when he saw the storyboards mixed in this script.

Yes, Zuo Mu deliberately added a few storyboards when he wrote the script.

They are the scene where the heroine chases and kills the female partner, and sees that the deck is slowly full of the corpses of the female partner.

There is another scene where the heroine watches the two of herself fight on the deck.

This is definitely the best thriller script Hong Jinbao has ever seen, which is why he is willing to pay a high price of 2 million to buy this script.

He had a hunch that this film would be a blockbuster.

"Uncle Sanmao, I plan to shoot this script myself." Zuo Mu hurriedly helped Hong Jinbao sit down and said his thoughts.

"Shoot it yourself? You've figured out who you're looking to make this movie? ”

Hong Jinbao was a little puzzled, because no director in Xiangjiang can control this drama well.

"It's not about anyone to shoot, it's me as the director, and I'm shooting myself!"

Zuo Mu said with a smile and a smile.

Hong Jinbao stood up again, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Wood!" Are you kidding!? ”

It's no wonder that he reacted this way.

Although Zuo Mu has been smart since he was a child and has good academic performance, it is not surprising that he wrote such a good script.

Yes, Hong Jinbao does not question the provenance of the script.

But this does not mean that he can cross over to become a director all at once.

After all, directing is a technical job.

"Uncle Sanmao, listen to me..."

Zuo Mu sorted out his understanding and metaphors of this "Horror Cruise".

He used the most recognized explanation of the three-layer nested loop in his previous life.

Now only he has the deepest understanding of this script, and only he can make this drama well.

If a director can't even understand the script and the plot, how can he make the drama look good.
