Wei Yifa's studio is actually much simpler than Xu Ji thought.

There are no imaginary luxury decorations, but there are many books of various types.

There were also a couple of projectors from the last era, film or something.

The most attractive thing is the various awards that exist in the shelves, from the port city to the mainland, and even some international awards.

"Director Xu, welcome to Hong Kong City!"

There is still a difference between Wei Yifa and Xu Xi's imagination.

As a person who is close to 60 years old, although he has done special maintenance, there are inevitably many traces left by the years on his face.

There is still a lot of difference from the characters Xu Ji saw in the movie when he was a child.

However, Wei Yifa's whole mental state is very good.

It made Xu Ji a little relieved.

The drama Xu Ji chose this time still has some action scenes.

Although it is not too difficult, it is inevitable that it will be harder.

"Hello Mr. Wei!"

"I've only seen it in movies since I was a child, but this time I've finally seen a real person."

......

After a brief greeting, Xu Ji also sat down on the sofa in the room.

Wei Yifa's attitude towards him was even better than Xu Ji imagined.

It wasn't because of Xu Ji's age or seniority that he wore colored glasses.

In terms of hospitality, it is a drip-tight job.

"Director Xu, I don't know why you came to Hong Kong City to find me this time......

The communication between Wei Yifa and Xu Ji was in Mandarin.

Xu Ji knows Hong Kong dialect, but he doesn't speak it well.

Wei Yifa has worked with some directors and crews in the mainland many times in the past.

Mandarin is very standard, and you can't even hear the local accent of the port city.

Xu Ji didn't intend to beat around the bush, and replied directly:

"Mr. Wei, I actually came here this time to invite you to join my crew."

Wei Yifa is actually not surprised by this.

Xu Ji, a director, came all the way to Hong Kong City, and there was no other reason to find himself not to film.

However, Wei Yifa showed a somewhat hesitant expression at this time.

"Director Xu, you may not know, I haven't made a film or television drama for a long time."

A movie café like Wei Yifa usually rarely goes to film and television dramas after he is successful.

Except for some roles he played on the TV station here in Hong Kong City when he first debuted, he was basically only active on the big screen in the future.

"But ......"

"If the script is good, I'll actually consider it."

Wei Yifa didn't say it to death.

Mainly because he did have some knowledge of Xu Ji.

I have also watched some of the film and television dramas filmed by the other party before.

It was also because of Xu Ji's ability to write the screenplay that Wei Yifa agreed to this meeting.

Of course, and Xu Ji is also here, even if he is not satisfied, it is impossible for him to let the family go back without even reading the script.

This is a bit rude.

To Wei Yifa's surprise, Xu Ji didn't immediately take out the script, but explained again:

"Mr. Wei, in fact, I came this time, and what I want to invite you to appear in is not a film and television drama, but a movie." ….

Wei Yifa was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Ji's words.

He got the news that Xu Ji should be a film and television director.

"Are you going to make a movie?"

Hearing Wei Yifa's question, Xu Ji nodded.

When Wei Yifa heard this, he immediately felt a little uninterested.

Mainly because although the difference between film and television drama directors and film directors does not seem to be much, there are very few who can really successfully cross this layer of identity

。

Many excellent film and television directors who turned to make movies have most of them hit the streets.

Xu Ji may not be one of the vast majority of them, though.

But judging from Wei Yifa's past experience.

The more young and vigorous the so-called geniuses, the more they will see the cruelty of reality.

Therefore, it is not a small number that has been hit by the blow.

Of course, Wei Yifa certainly wouldn't persuade this young man who had just met for the first time today.

Instead, he said without any anomalies:

"Can you show me the script?"

Although it was said that he was reading the script, Wei Yifa was already brewing in his mind at this time and was waiting for the words he would refuse.

Xu Ji didn't know what the other party was thinking at this time.

The prepared script was handed to the other party.

......

Although he knows the ending, being serious at work is a good habit that Wei Yifa has always maintained.

So after getting the script, I still sat in my office chair very solemnly and read it.

Wei Yifa is not like some Hong Kong city stars in the same period, who have basically retired and disappeared.

During the Spring Festival last year, there was also a movie released in the mainland.

Although it is no longer as glorious as it once was, it still has achieved good results.

He reads a lot of scripts every month, and although he is not picky about the choice of roles, he is not a person who takes on dramas indiscriminately for the sake of salary.

Xu Ji was also very patient, quietly waiting for the other party to read the script.

At the beginning, Wei Yifa didn't particularly care about the plot or anything like that.

But the more he looked down, the more shocked Wei Yifa became.

This is a very mature commercial film script, and it is hard to imagine that this is written by a rookie screenwriter and director like Xu Ji who has never made a movie.

I have to say that he was also a little moved at this time.

Maybe the common sense he knew was not applicable to the person in front of him.

More than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Slowly, Wei Yifa turned over the script page by page, and finally reached the final ending.

"Damn?!

Wei Yifa suddenly subconsciously spoke.

It's reversed?!

originally thought it was a normal commercial film, but when he saw the ending, Wei Yifa realized that this movie turned out to be a suspense film!

And a lot of the previous plots, in retrospect, are full of details.

This trick is really surprising.

After reading the end, Wei Yifa did not put down the script, but turned to the beginning again.

I quickly watched it again and again.

It's a new experience, and it feels very different from before.

......

"Director Xu, I played this "Wushuang"!"

Putting down the script, Wei Yifa's first sentence was such a sentence. ….

And Xu Ji was a little relieved.

Although Xu Ji knew that he could see each other before he came, the probability of success would definitely not be small.

But after all, the other party is really not short of money, nor is there a shortage of acting, and it is not without the possibility of refusal.

As for Wei Yifa, he actually has his own ideas.

The most important thing is naturally that Xu Ji took out the script, and he himself was more satisfied.

Secondly, for Xu Ji, a young man, he is quite optimistic about the other party.

I don't know if I will become a well-known director in the future.

Being able to work with such a potential young actor is also a good thing for him.

After all, Wei Yi found that he had his own company, and there were many artists in Hong Kong City.

In the past, the stars of Hong Kong City actually liked to develop in Hong Kong City, and even some resisted going to the mainland.

But now it's different, the mainland market is really there

It's too big.

However, the stars of Hong Kong City, especially some newcomers, are not easy to enter the mainland market.

If there is such a favor as Xu Ji, it is also a good thing for the development of new people under the company.

Compared with Xu Ji, the three major entertainment companies in the mainland are more difficult than the other.

Without paying a price, it is difficult to get back the resources you want.

"Happy working together!"

The two stretched out their hands and shook them together.

Xu Ji's first film can be regarded as a key role actor who has been officially determined.

......

Xu Ji did not leave the port city.

Although Wei Yifa has agreed to join the crew, there is no need for the other party's acting skills to audition or anything.

However, the process of drawing up relevant contracts is still more cumbersome.

Xu Ji has already contacted You Man and asked the other party to send a lawyer from the company.

As for the salary, Xu Ji's budget for Wei Yifa was about 20 million to 30 million.

The other party's worth is not a secret, Xu Ji asked before he came.

But unexpectedly, this time, Wei Yifa took the initiative to offer a salary of only 15 million.

It can be regarded as a gift to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji knew that for a Hong Kong star like Wei Yifa who had his own company.

They all attach great importance to the development of their company's artists in the mainland.

The other party received less salary, obviously wanting to reach a long-term cooperation with Tongji Entertainment.

Including some scenes of Tongji Entertainment in the future, it is certain that under the same conditions, the actors of Wei Yifa's company will be selected.

......

When Xu Ji returned to Rongcheng, it was already three days later.

This trip to Hong Kong City went more smoothly than Xu Ji imagined.

For now, the main cast has been decided.

The next step is to assemble the crew and preparations, and then it is time to start filming.

Tongji Entertainment's current crew has been divided into three groups.

Pang Er and Yang Anran's two crews also need people.

In addition to the old people who were in Tongji before, staff in various positions need to be recruited.

Fortunately, Xu Ji doesn't have to do it himself, and the assistant director selected by Xu Ji this time is also like Pang Er, who has followed him since "The Best of Us".

In terms of recruitment, just leave it to the assistant director.

Xu Ji didn't need to be personally responsible for everything as before.

......

"Director Xu, are you back?" ….

Wan Rongli was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ji.

He has been intently watching the script Xu Ji gave him during this time.

And the more he watched, the more Wan Rongli felt that Xu Ji's "Wushuang" should be a good quality movie this time.

The only thing that worries him is that this drama is equivalent to having another one besides himself.

And the two will have a lot of rivalry scenes, and I don't know who Xu Ji plans to find to play.

The first thing Xu Ji did when he came back was naturally to find Wan Rongli first.

The other party, as the one of the movie, is basically the most important existence.

"How's your script?" Xu Ji asked.

Wan Rongli was a little nervous, he knew too well that his role was not easy to achieve.

So cherish it extraordinarily.

"There's nothing wrong with the plot."

"Recently, I've been trying to write a biography."

......

Xu Ji nodded, Wan Rongli's acting skills were actually Xu Ji not too worried.

But I'm afraid that the other party won't take it seriously.

"You get ready, I guess the start of filming will be around next month."

"I should have plenty of time left for you."

Wan Rongli nodded.

Then he hesitated, but still asked:

"By the way, Director Xu, I want to ask if Wu Fusheng's role has been decided?"

Seeing Xu Ji nodding, he subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

Xu Ji didn't plan to hide the place.

"You should know each other."

"Wei Yifa."

Xu Ji's tone was very calm, but Wan Rongli didn't seem so determined.

"Who?!"

"Fa Ge?!

Wan Rongli never thought that Xu Ji would invite Wei Yifa!

With the other party's popularity and achievements, how can you not know each other?

In fact, after reading the script, the image of the role of Wu Fusheng, the opposite of Wan Rongli, was Wei Yifa.

Now it feels like a dream come true.

When Wan Rongli was the most popular in himself, he actually only looked up to Wei Yifa.

The other party can also be regarded as one of the enlightenment mentors of the actor's path in Wanrongli.

Who hasn't watched the two classic Hong Kong films of Wei Yifa.

"Don't worry, Director Xu, I will definitely not hold back!"

Wan Rongli said to Xu Ji with a serious expression at this time.

He knew how rare this opportunity Xu Ji had given him.

Not only is the quality of the script and characters not low, but he even specially invited Wei Yifa to play with him.

This kind of treatment, even among those super-first-line actors, is a resource that needs to be fought for.

It also shows how much Xu Ji trusts him, a person who has only joined the company for a short time.

And the wait for myself some time ago seems to be worth it now!

At that time, after seeing the contract of Tongji Entertainment and the mode of working of the artists, he was still a little afraid that he would be free-ranged.

Now it seems that he is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

......

Xu Ji didn't pay much attention to Wan Rongli's excited performance.

In addition to the filming of the movie "Wushuang", he still has a lot to do now.

The first is the preparation of the company's other two dramas, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Chess Soul". ….

Progress is going well on all fronts.

Pang Er's experience is also rich, so there is no need for Xu Ji to worry.

Although Yang Anran, who is a director for the first time, is relatively unfamiliar, he still has the ability and is very serious in his attitude, so there should be no big problem.

The only thing that made Xu Ji a little embarrassed was the choice of actors this time.

Pang Er and Yang Anran had a very good relationship, but this time they quarreled.

They all want Ji Yiyang to be the protagonist of their drama.

Time goes back to the day when Xu Ji took out the script.

At that time, after Ji Yiyang read the script of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", he made up his mind to act in this drama.

Although it is a challenge for him, it is also the key to breaking through his acting skills.

Pang Er originally felt that Ji Yiyang's current acting skills were not suitable.

But the other party pleaded and gave the opportunity to audition.

What people didn't expect was that Ji Yiyang played perfectly during the audition.

I don't know if it's because of the talented role in "Soldier Assault", so his acting skills are completely different from the past.

Poel was cautious and auditioned for a few more key scenes.

Then the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was appropriate, and finally decided.

Let Ji Yiyang play two roles by himself to play Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu.

But on the other hand, Yang Anran was not happy.

Because of the script of the drama "Chess Soul", after he finished reading it, the first choice for the protagonist's time was Ji Yiyang!

So I found Ji Yiyang and asked him what he thought.

Ji Yiyang actually read the script of "Chess Soul" later, and he liked it a lot.

But because it has already been taken

When it came to the protagonist of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", he wanted to politely refuse.

Then, there was a matter of Yang Anran starting to frantically pry the corner.

Pang Er found out that the other party was stealing his home, how could he bear it!

The two finally quarreled with Xu Ji.

.....。.
