After the main actor was confirmed, the filming of "Source Code" was also put on the agenda.

Zuo Mu is expected to invest 30 million, his own "Future Film and Television" will invest 15 million, and Jiahe will also invest 15 million.

On December 6, Zou Wenhuai, who was still in America, came with good news.

Lionsgate is willing to make Golden Harvest a co-producer of Saw and will have a corresponding right of first refusal in the series in the future.

The price paid by Golden Harvest was to sell the overseas distribution rights of "Horror Cruise" to Lionsgate at a discount of 2.8 million.

On December 7, Golden Harvest officially announced two news.

"The suspense sci-fi film "Source Code" written and directed by Zuo Mu will hold a kick-off ceremony on the 8th of this month, and the starring roles will be finalized Zhang Jiahui, Guan Yonghe, Fang Zhongxin, etc."

"Golden Harvest invested $1 million to work with Lionsgate to shoot the movie "Saw Horror."

Of course, the focus of the media is all on the opening ceremony of Zuo Mu's new film.

The news of "Saw Horror" did not stir up a ripple.

Zuo Mu is very happy, and finally won the cash cow of "Chainsaw", according to the box office performance in the previous life, Golden Harvest and he can get no less than 300 million US dollars from it.

In the photo of the opening ceremony of "Source Code", Zuo Mu's mouth is crooked.

….

"Brother Jiahui, don't laugh!"

"Sister Yonghe, there is so much love in your eyes! You're just a little bit of a crush on the male protagonist now! ”

The filming of "Source Code" went extremely well.

Although Zhang Jiahui is the main comedy in this period, he is a future actor after all, and he has nothing to say about his acting skills, and he soon entered the state required by Zuo Mu.

Needless to say, Guan Yonghe's first TVB's post-TV acting skills are really not covered.

The filming progressed very quickly.

The problem arose in the scene where the car exploded.

This time, the protagonist played by Zhang Jiahui and the heroine of Guan Yonghe's test didn't have time to get out of the car, and the eight minutes were up, and the bomb on the car was about to explode.

Zuo Mu's idea is to shoot in real life, of course, it is not really to detonate the carriage, it took more than 5 million to build, and what else will be filmed after the real explosion.

He just wanted to create an explosive atmosphere in the carriage.

The invited explosives team put small bombs on the sugar glass of the car, and then lit a fire in the next car, and used a blower to blow the fire to the car where the shooting was taken.

But as a result, after shooting a few times, Zuo Mu felt that the effect was not very good, and finally decided to use special effects in the later stage.

It started on December 8th, and until December 30th, "Source Code Crew" was shut down for the first time, and the overall film of the movie has been completed seven or eight times out of ten, and there is still the last point.

And the reason for the shutdown was because of a bad news last night.

Sister Mei died at the age of 40 at 2:50 a.m. on December 30, 2004 at the age of 40 due to lung dysfunction caused by cervical cancer.

This bad news swept through the entire Xiangjiang in an instant.

2003 was really the most unfortunate year for the Hong Kong music scene.

There is a brother in the front and Sister Mei in the back, hey.....

It wasn't until January 3, 2004 that the crew started working again.

And at the closing ceremony on January 10, there were not many smiles on everyone's faces.

On January 15th, Zuo Mu went to Sister Mei's mourning hall and presented a wreath and his respect for this "daughter of Xiangjiang".

"Old Zou, are you okay...."

Zuo Mu looked at the depressed old man in the office and said worriedly.

Zou Wenhuai shook his head, rubbed his reddish eyes, and said with a kind smile: "It's okay, I just miss Amei a little." ”

The beautiful woman has passed away, and at this moment, perhaps only the old man himself knows his own complex state of mind.

"America said that the filming of "Saw Horror" is almost finished."

Seeing that at this moment, the 76-year-old man was still insisting on working, and Zuo Mu was silent.

The gloomy cloud of Sister Mei's death still hangs over the Xiangjiang River, but life still has to go on.

The post-production of "Source Code" has been completed, and the film is scheduled to be released simultaneously in the mainland, Hong Kong, and America on February 1.

On January 19th, Lionsgate came with news that the filming of "Saw Horror" had been completed, and Mr. Zou was invited to attend the premiere in America.

And Zuo Mu, who was finally empty, was entangled by Huo Wenxi again.

"Director Zuo, you also know that the Xiangjiang music scene is not in a good mood now, and our emperor is really sincere in inviting you to film, you see, the script has been written."

Huo Wenxi put a script in front of Zuo Mu.

There is also a script that exudes the smell of mimeographs, and the four big characters of "Senior Brother Xinzha" are clearly printed on it.

This name obviously touches Yang Qianhua's "Xinzha Senior Sister" a few years ago.

Zuo Mu finished the script speechlessly and said, "The starring role is Ting Feng, right?" ”

Zuo Mu, who had read countless movies in his previous life, actually remembered which movie it was after seeing the title of the play.

"That's right, it's Tingfeng."

Huo Wenxi's forty-two inches long legs were staggered, and he was half-leaning on the sofa opposite Zuo Mu.

"The heroine is Sa (Cai Zhuoyan) or Gillian...."

After reading countless films, he can't remember what this play is about.

"We decided to use Gillian (Zhong Xintong)." Huo Wenxi curled his hair with his slender fingers.

She can actually see that the script is very ordinary, and the story is still an old-fashioned Xiangjiang police film.

This kind of film can't play any flowers, and what can attract the audience is nothing more than the fame of the leading actor.

This is also the reason why Zuo Mu doesn't want to take this kind of custom film.

This kind of film is a traffic star movie like the previous life, but the difference is that the current Xiangjiang, whether it is a singer or an actor, there is nothing to say about the strength.

Seeing that Zuo Mu was still thinking about it, Huo Wenxi continued: "8 million. ”

Zuo Mu's eyebrows jumped.

This is the price for asking him to be a director, how to say this price? Sky-high price!

At that time, no director in Xiangjiang dared to offer himself this price.

And she, Huo Wenxi, no, it was the emperor behind her who dared to make this price, which was nothing more than a fancy to her current fame and popularity.

I have to say that Zuo Mu was moved by this salary.

The future film company he established just spent more than 100 million yuan to invest in Golden Harvest, and took out 15 million to shoot "Source Code", and now there are only more than 3 million in the account, to put it simply.

He was short of money.

"10 million, I will write the script, and I will set the actors." Zuo Mu said in a deep voice.

Huo Wenxi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, almost did not hesitate, and immediately showed a charming smile and said, "Deal." ”

"I don't know who Director Zuo wants to use?"

This still has to be confirmed in advance, after all, what they want to praise is their own artist, and they can't choose other actors to be the protagonists.

"Chen Yixun."

When this name came out of Zuo Mu's mouth, Huo Wenxi instantly frowned.

Chen Yixun is indeed still a singer under their Emperor's flag, but he has been a little unhappy with the company recently, and the top management seems to have decided to refrigerate him for a year.

If you ask him to be the protagonist at this time, the emperor's senior management will definitely not agree.
