"That star's salary is so high, and you are famous for being stingy, you won't be too ugly with its actors, right?" Huo Dongjun asked with a smile.

As for the fact that someone is looking for trouble with Dongyi, Huo Dongjun doesn't plan to ask deeply, it's a matter of the whole environment, Dongyi Company is now taken care of by Liu Zhenwei, and he can help him occasionally solve the siege, but if he needs to come forward every time, then he doesn't need Liu Zhenwei to be the boss of Dongyi.

"No, now that the salary is high, let them take more plays from other companies? Liu Zhenwei said in a chatting tone: "By the way, Jun Shao, are you interested in coming back one day to make a script or something, even if you don't be a director, just a screenwriter, do you know, now everyone regards you as a 'drama master'." ”

"Don't embarrass me, where am I qualified to be called the master of the show. Huo Dongjun knew that Liu Zhenwei was ridiculing him, and said in disbelief.

The so-called opening master, that is the industry's honorific title for screenwriters, but not for all screenwriters, but a certain type of special screenwriters, who can provide a complete concept and story, and have a unique guiding contribution to the whole film, and the director even relies on him to shoot the whole movie, which is respected by the entire crew.

However, the four words of the opening master, in Hong Kong films for decades, there are only a few opening masters who can ensure the quality of the film, Qiu Gangjian, Xiao Ruoyuan, Huang Baiming, Liu Tianci, Nan Yan, Huang Bingyao, Wei Jiahui and other more than a dozen people, even if they have written more than 100 scripts, Situ An, Ni Kuang and other predecessors, are only called gold medal screenwriters at most, but there is still some distance from the title of opening master.

It can also be seen from this point that the four words of the master of the drama are not something that people like Huo Dongjun can get by doing business without doing a proper job after only making a few movies.

"It should be enough for you to write a few more scripts, and now everyone is swarming to make gambling movies and comedies, why don't you take the time to make an action script? It's better to be like "Evil Police", I always feel that the dark style is more attractive to me than your later blockbuster "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", I specially bought a video collection. Liu Zhenwei said with a grin.

"You don't want to pull me to help you work, not to mention that now everyone is making Taiwanese money, what Taiwanese like, just give them anything?" Huo Dongjun also laughed.

"This is not good, everyone is now blinded by the money of the Taiwanese Yankees, now a movie, the director is the Taiwanese Yankees, you will shoot whatever people ask you to shoot, and the artificial price has doubled, in case one day the Taiwanese Yankees join forces and want to boycott Hong Kong movies, everyone will fight the street together. When Liu Zhenwei said this, he didn't smile, and obviously thought about this problem.

"So what do you want? Do you tell everyone that they don't make any money?"

Huo Dongjun's impression of Liu Zhenwei has risen a lot in his heart, this guy is indeed not a serious professional filmmaker, he is still a businessman, he can see clearly that behind the current situation of Hong Kong films, there are actually clouds, indeed, just like Liu Zhenwei said, now Taiwanese Yankees are spending money across the sea to make movies, buy films, everyone is making happy money, everyone has a job, and twice as many people in the film industry are engaged in this industry like a pile of bubbles, and even if the movie is not released locally, it doesn't matter, the box office figures don't have to worry at all, it looks like a prosperous world, but if one day, Taiwan no longer buys Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong is a small cityCan you still digest so many movies shot in a year? Can you accommodate so many film companies?

"No, what I mean is that you must make money from the Taiwanese Yankees, but you still have to stick to your own style, it is better to really one day the Taiwanese no longer want Hong Kong movies, will they starve to death? You still have to rely on the local box office to support your wife and children, so you can't blindly satisfy the interests of the Taiwanese Yankees, and occasionally you have to take into account the local tastes and think of a way out. Liu Zhenwei said to Huo Dongjun in a calm tone.

Huo Dongjun grabbed a sip of beer and sat back on the balcony: "The idea is right, I am relieved that the company will be handed over to you to take care of." ”

"Since it's so speculative, why don't you consider my suggestion? I can buy it at a high price, and I won't pay it in four installments, pay it all at once, besides, last time you asked me to take the money out to help Leslie Cheung be the director, I was obedient, this time do you count yourself as a personal favor for me? Give me an idea for an action movie?" Liu Zhenwei heard Huo Dongjun's words, and mentioned asking him to help with a script.

"Don't even think about it, don't have time. After Huo Dongjun finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone and laughed.

......

After waking up from sleeping until nine o'clock in the morning, and cooking a piece of instant noodles in the refrigerator that had not expired to cope with his stomach, Huo Dongjun called Xiang Huasheng and made an appointment to eat and drink tea at noon.

When he arrived at the appointed restaurant, Xiang Watson had already arrived first, and was reading a book slowly, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, like an unscrupulous teacher at school.

Huo Dongjun walked across from him and sat down, looking at Xiang Huasheng who was staring at the book: "Hey, how long have you been sitting here?"

Xiang Watson put down the book, looked at Huo Dongjun, and glanced at his watch again: "More than twenty minutes." ”

"Did the police come to ask you?" Huo Dongjun pulled out a free-to-read newspaper from the newspaper shelf next to the cashier bar: "The middle school girl committed suicide by jumping off the building, suspected of being a teacher and student who hated each other, your appearance is very similar to that of the male protagonist, Si Siwen, and he also has an English book, and he is dignified." ”

Xiang Watson smiled and put the book aside, beckoned the waiter to come over and order, and said to Huo Dongjun while flipping through the recipe: "The poor guy is not blind, how long does the teacher have to come here for a meal." I donate every year. ”

After the order was over, the waiter left, Huo Dongjun leaned back in his chair and asked Watson, "How is it?"

"Yes, it's so messy that it's going to die, but I like it very much, invite me to lunch for no reason, wouldn't it just ask me about my travel experience?" Xiang Watson sorted out the tableware in front of him, looked up at Huo Dongjun and asked.

He had forgotten what Huo Dongjun was like at the beginning, the young man who followed Wang Kun to see him at that time had a blurred appearance, he only knew that the Huo Dongjun in front of him now had a clear mind, quick response, and knew what he needed, and was a friend of his business.

Only occasionally when he recalls it alone, will he remember some fragments of his acquaintance with Huo Dongjun.

However, when he saw Huo Dongjun in front of him, he felt that his memories were not real enough.

"Of course not, if you want to experience, I will experience it myself, I want to talk, I recently got on a line, I should be able to meet Chachai-Chunhawang, so how is it over there?"

Xiang Watson was not surprised at all when he heard the name of Chachai-Chun Hawang, although there was no general election yet, but it seems that the whole world knew that Chachai-Chun Hawang could be elected with a high number of votes from the ballot election, which shows that Thailand's democratic election is not held at all unnecessary, it is just a formality.

"It's easy to get online, the main thing is whether you can get the benefits. ”

"That guy's dead father is from the military, his wife is a royal family, and his brother-in-law is a cannon-yes Nuan, everyone feels that guy must be from the military, but this guy has set up a Thai party, but it can be regarded as having brains, the military controls the Senate, and now the military supports Chachai, which means that the Senate supports Chachai, and those political party forces in the House of Representatives are not his opponents of the Thai Party at all, it is difficult to say whether this guy really wants democracy, or is he a wall-to-wall grass, you know, if he shows the attitude of the military, even if there are other political parties that threaten his executive position, he can also take itIn the name of 'obstructing the administration of the country', he used the military to forcibly dissolve parliament, hold new elections, and force those political parties to submit to his rule, but he did not. Huo Dongjun played with the newspaper and said seriously about his doubts about Chachai-Chun Hawang.

"If you do what you said, what is the difference between that guy and Bingyansu Ranong, isn't Bingyan Sura Nuan constantly under martial law and dissolves parliament at every turn? Xiang Watson said: "In the eyes of Thai politicians, Thai political parties are divided into military parties and civilian parties, but for ordinary Thais, there is no difference, they are all democratic parties, so the military gives a false impression, in fact, it is still the military is in power, and the military party is superficial." ”

Huo Dongjun folded the newspaper into a paper airplane and played with it, and said in his mouth: "Guess that you are playing such a big deal, and forming a Thai party by yourself, it shouldn't be just a superficial thing, so the question is, you said that guy knows that I have a satellite TV station, will he be tempted?

"I also set up a line, the Xie family, the person in charge of a subsidiary of the Xie family group, you also know, the Xie family has developed from seeds and chicken raising to a diversified group in the past ten years, fruits, real estate, communications, minerals, supermarkets, everything they want to intervene, they have a very close relationship with the military, the most important thing is that the Xie family is still the financier behind many political parties, I heard that the Xie family is ready to govern this generation by itself. Xiang Watson said to Huo Dongjun.

The head of the Xie family said that he was ruling Thailand in this generation, which was not a joke at all, but completely capable of doing it, because the elder brother of Xie Guomin, the head of the Xie family at this time, was already an economic adviser to the Thai government.

"I have a bad guess relationship now, you have a relationship with the military, so let's study what they want, and then, what can we get? Huo Dongjun rubbed his hands, looked at the waiter who came over with a food cart to deliver the food, and said to Watson, "We can prepare this meal." ”
