Chapter 11: Script, Director, Actors
After the press conference.
Huang Zhiqiang's office.
"You will be promoted to inspector in two days, pay attention to the image and case handling methods outside, and don't be complained......" Huang Zhiqiang chattered like an old father, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Jiajun teasing the feng shui fish he raised, and immediately threw the folder over angrily: "Did you hear me?" β
Xu Jiajun grabbed the folder, put it back on the desk, wiped the water on his hands, and replied with a lazy smile: "I know the big guy, don't let people complain, don't worry, I remember." β
The competitive pressure of the police force is very high, and meritorious service and complaints during the tenure will be included in the scope of promotion assessment, if there is no great merit, it may survive for several years, but a complaint will cut off the road to promotion.
"Get out of here." Huang Zhiqiang looked at Xu Jiajun's careless attitude and waved his hand.
βyes sirοΌβ Xu Jiajun stood up and saluted, then grabbed a box of cigarettes on the table and walked out.
Huang Zhiqiang suddenly shouted to him: "Ah Jun! β
"Sir Huang, is there anything else?" Xu Jiajun put the box of cigarettes in his pocket, stopped and asked knowingly.
But Huang Zhiqiang didn't say anything about cigarettes, but stared at him for a moment before saying, "Do it well." β
"Hmm." The expression on Xu Jiajun's face also became serious, nodded, turned around and opened the door to leave.
Seeing him come out, the four fat boys chatting in the corridor hurriedly surrounded him, and Jiang Haoyun said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Ah Tou, I will invite you to have supper tonight." β
After the words fell, he looked back at Qin Fenfang and the three of them and said, "Let's celebrate together." β
He is a rich second generation, and the police examination is completely based on his enthusiasm, and if he is not a good policeman, he can only go home to inherit hundreds of millions of family fortunes. And now he has only been promoted for a year, and he has a little more confidence when his parents ask him to resign, so he is very grateful to Xu Jiajun.
"Okay, there's a free late-night snack, and there's no reason for me to say no." Looking at the four people with happy faces in front of him, Xu Jiajun agreed, and then asked casually: "What time is it tonight and where is it." β
"Uh...... I want to think about it......" Jiang Haoyun subconsciously wanted to scratch the back of his head, but when he raised his hand halfway, he suddenly remembered that this would mess up his hairstyle, so he hurriedly put it down, and turned his head to look at Gao Wei: "Ah Wei, what was the name of the last time you took me there?" β
"Backbone." Gao Wei replied slowly.
"Eight o'clock tonight, there is a backbone."
"OK, I'll be on time." Xu Jiajun nodded, glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, and then said to the four of them: "If you have a case in your hands, go with it yourself, I have some materials to write." β
"See you in the evening." The four of them saluted Xu Jiajun, and then turned around and left with a smile.
Xu Jiajun walked towards the office of the anti-black team.
"Ah Jun, congratulations on taking off the word apprenticeship."
"Sir Xu, congratulations."
As soon as he entered, many people greeted him one after another to congratulate him on his promotion, and Xu Jiajun responded one by one with a smile.
walked to his office and sat down, took out a pen and paper and began to write a script hard, if he wanted to cheat investment from Zhao Yazhi, he had to get a script for her to read.
Xu Jiajun chose "Happy Ghost".
This is a campus comedy, and now what is popular in Xiangjiang is comedy, and even Wu Yusen, a master of violent aesthetics, is still making comedy at this stage.
When Happy Ghost was filmed in 1984, the production cost was 2 million, but due to the different prices, the cost can be completely controlled at about 1 million if it is filmed now.
When this movie was released that year, the box office in this port was 17 million, and it was a movie that had been verified by the market, so there was no reason not to copy it. At that time, there were 14 movie tickets a piece, and now there are 10 yuan a ticket, at this time there are more than 5 million people in Hong Kong, and even if the total box office does not reach 17 million in later generations, eight or nine million is also earned.
And with this first pot of gold...... No, the second pot of gold, it's easier to shoot the others later.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After lunch, Xu Jiajun called Zhao Yazhi and came to the door with the script after confirming that she was at home.
"Knock knock!"
After a while, the door opened, the fragrant breeze blew on his face, and Zhao Yazhi, who was wearing a light blue dress, stood at the door with a bright smile on her face: "Ah Jun, come in." β
Compared with a few days ago, she is now red and energetic, thanks to Xu Jiajun's hard work day and night and watering on time, which made her rejuvenated.
"Sister, I'm still a little unaccustomed to you standing and saying this to me today." Xu Jiajun showed a wicked smile on his fair face, stepped forward to put his arm around her waist, and closed the door with his backhand.
Zhao Yazhi understood the meaning of these words in seconds, glared at him in shame, and said with a red face: "Phew, don't say it, otherwise I won't let you touch me in the future." β
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize to my sister." Xu Jiajun said that he was going to kiss her.
"Ahh Zhao Yazhi exclaimed in surprise and dodged, the corners of her skirt were flying, the fragrant wind was gusting, she looked at Xu Jiajun with a smile behind a beam and said, "Are you apologizing?" Phew, I won't be fooled. β
"Sister, don't be fooled, just go to bed."
Xu Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi chased and frolicked around the beam, and finally circled the beam for three days, and the aftermath was endless.
After eating and drinking, on the sofa, Zhao Yazhi was disheveled and was held in his arms by Xu Jiajun, and his face was flushed: "I have divorced Huang Hanwei." β
"What did he say?" Xu Jiajun smoked a cigarette, one hand gently rubbing Zhao Yazhi's smooth face.
Zhao Yazhi laughed at himself and said: "In his eyes, I am a woman who can take that kind of photos, what else can he say?" Of course, I couldn't ask for it, and I made an appointment to go for a divorce the day after tomorrow, but the child belonged to him. β
When it comes to children, she is a little depressed.
"You can still go and see it when you want to have children." Xu Jiajun kissed her on the forehead, hugged her and comforted: "It's really not good, let's have another one." β
"You want to be beautiful, but I don't want it." Zhao Yazhi glanced at him, and then looked at the document bag on the coffee table: "What is it this time?" β
She now feels a headache when she sees the file bag.
"It's all strange, sister, you're so charming, I almost forgot about it again." Xu Jiajun reached out and picked up the document bag, shook his head pretending to complain and said.
Zhao Yazhi was happy to hear it in his heart, but on the surface, he said angrily: "How can you blame me, it's obviously you who are a little pervert, and every time you meet, you only care about doing this." β
She is five years older than Xu Jiajun, and she has been married and had children, so there is still an age crisis, and the more Xu Jiajun is infatuated with her, the more satisfied she is with herself.
"Sister, I wrote a script, you are a professional, help me read it." Xu Jiajun took out the script from the file bag, handed it to Zhao Yazhi and said.
"Script? Do you want to make a movie? Zhao Yazhi looked at him in surprise, and suspiciously took the script in his hand and read it, and was stunned when she saw it, because she had never seen such a professional and complete script.
Now most of the movies in Hong Kong are unscripted, or they are scripted for filming and writing for one day.
She raised the script in her hand and looked up at Xu Jiajun: "Aren't you a policeman, will you still do this?" β
"I've always had a dream of making movies, so I learned a little." Xu Jiajun smiled shyly.
The corners of Zhao Yazhi's mouth twitched, you have really learned 100 million points, and then lowered his head and looked at it seriously. After reading it, she felt that this script was different from the current popular comedy in Xiangjiang, and the combination of ghost drama and campus comedy was worth trying.
"Ah Jun, this script is great." Zhao Yazhi affirmed, and then asked, "Do you want to shoot it yourself?" I can help you contact Mr. Shao. β
"How can I have time, I just want to show it to my sister, if I think it's okay, I want to borrow some money from my sister and find someone to shoot it out." Xu Jiajun, as a policeman, of course has no time to film, professional things are left to professional people, his script has been written very completely, just keep an eye on it from time to time.
Zhao Yazhi didn't expect Xu Jiajun to actually want to take the money to shoot it himself, the first time he made a request, she couldn't refuse, and she felt that even if this drama couldn't make money, as long as it could be released, it should be no problem to recover the cost: "How much do you think the production cost will need." β
"A million." Xu Jiajun blurted out.
I just gave you hundreds of millions, and they all overflowed, so you won't give me a million.
"Do you have any ideas for the director and actors?"
"I have one heroine in my hand, and the remaining two and the male protagonist can be found slowly, as for the director, I think sister, you can help ask TVB's Gao Zhisen to come out and talk." One of the heroines in his mouth is naturally the little sister next door, Wen Bifang, and Gao Zhisen is the original director of "Happy Ghost" a few years later.
He has been in the industry for more than three years now, and just jumped from Lishi to TVB last year, and is currently engaged in choreographing and directing. Under the premise of having a detailed script and Xu Jiajun controlling the general direction, it should not be a big problem for him to make his debut film a few years in advance.
"Gao Zhisen?" Zhao Yazhi had a little impression of this person, and asked uneasily: "He has no directing experience, are you sure you want him to be the director?" β
"With the script and me staring at it, it should be fine." Xu Jiajun comforted him, and then smiled bitterly: "Besides, the newcomer director is cheap, and it is a little bit to save a little cost, and the actor also tries to use the newcomer, anyway, it's a comedy." β
This kind of comedy does not require much acting skills.
"Okay." Zhao Yazhi nodded, and then said: "The actress requires a young age, and there is no suitable one among the people I know, but I can recommend one actor who plays a ghost, he is a dragon and tiger martial artist, and he looks okay, you can meet him." β
"Who?" Xu Jiajun's eyes were curious.
"His name is Lin Guobin." Zhao Yazhi didn't notice the change in Xu Jiajun's eyes at all, and said to himself: "I've been working behind the scenes at Shaw Brothers, and I'm not famous or acting, but I think he's not bad." β
"That's it." Xu Jiajun directly decided, Lin Guobin, is the person who resembles the dawn, and the sentence "I'm not targeting anyone, I mean everyone here is happy" made countless people remember him.
But at present, Lin Guobin is still just a small behind-the-scenes personnel, and he didn't start to make his career until he joined Cheng Long's family class, and now he can cut off the beard, a good dragon and tiger martial artist is still a good action director.
Zhao Yazhi was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Jiajun agreeing: "Isn't it too hasty, it's also the male protagonist, you won't decide when you don't see it?" β
"Sister I believe." Xu Jiajun took her soft little hand and looked at her with a gentle face.
He trusts his memories more.
Feeling this trust, Zhao Yazhi's heart was sweet, and she looked at him and said coquettishly: "I helped you so much, how can you thank me." β
"Great kindness, I can't feed Bao, so I can only promise myself." Xu Jiajun said with a smile.
Alas, sad, it's not easy to borrow some money.
