Although it is said that Hong Kong movies do not attach as much importance to scripts as Hollywood, they are not so casual as to create a script overnight, even if those small companies want to make films and cheat money, they have to spend three or two days pondering the bridge, at least carefully study the ** scenes in the script, but now in the bag handed over by Liu Zhenwei, there are really more than a dozen pages of manuscript paper, which is much richer than Huo Dongjun's own light and fluttering pages, and he is ashamed to see people when he takes it out.

"Go to the company and talk. Huo Dongjun did not sit on the bench to open the script, but got up and said to Liu Zhenwei.

After the two entered Huo Dongjun's office, because the company had not yet reached work, Huo Dongjun personally poured two cups of coffee, and then sat down and opened the script that Liu Zhenwei took out, and the title on the first page was four words: "Fierce Ghost Pavilion".

"Horror movie?" Huo Dongjun looked up at Liu Zhenwei and asked.

Liu Zhenwei swallowed the egg waffle in his mouth in a hurry, took another sip of coffee, and then nodded and said: "Horror films are the lowest-cost type of commercial films in Hong Kong, with less investment and more returns, in fact, strictly speaking, this script is a comedy, just like a zombie film, with a terrifying and funny gimmick, the script was thought out by Wang Jiawei and me, he is responsible for thinking about the characters, and I am responsible for thinking about the bridge." ”

Huo Dongjun read the script slowly, if the story of the whole script is picky, then the whole script is undoubtedly rough, after all, it took one night to get out, and many details can't stand scrutiny, but there are two eye-catching points, Wang Jiawei's character building, the characters of several protagonists are impressive, even if Huo Dongjun only reads the script, he can feel that the two protagonists are lustful, timid and undisciplined but completely narcissistic appear in front of him, and Liu Zhenwei has several bridges in the script, is all because of the playful character of the protagonist, if "Mr. Zombie" is a zombie comedy, it is still rigorously using comedy to tell the story of a normal celestial master fighting zombies, then this movie can already be seen as a horror nonsensical comedy, because many bridge lines are completely inconsistent with the environment in the film, for example, after a criminal is turned into a vampire, he is still fangs hideous in the last second, and the next second he is actually beaten by two protagonists who think he is still a human being, and he is beaten until he shouts "Help, the police are fighting ghosts, the police are fighting ghosts, I want to complain...... "But after I really knew that the other party was a ghost, the two who were majestic before were immediately scared again, making people unable to guess the plot that appeared in the next second, and they were shocked.

The whole script is a nonsensical comedy of funny nonsense, a ghost film is interpreted in a light-hearted and humorous way, and the imagination is unbridled, the most exaggerated thing is to completely subvert the image of the police force, Hong Kong movies over the years, either the police are as stupid as dogs, gangsters are heroes, such as "The True Color of Heroes" and a series of follow-up films, or the police are all pioneers of justice and move forward bravely, Cheng Long's "Police Story" and Li Xiuxian's iron-blooded police series are representatives of this faction, and in this script, The characters of the entire police station are no different from those of Hong Kong citizens, whether it is a boss or a military uniform, the exaggerated expression after encountering a ghost makes Huo Dongjun admire Liu Zhenwei or Wang Jiawei's bridge level.

"The script is good, but are you sure that a million is really enough? I see a lot of scenes that seem to have a preoccupation. Huo Dongjun turned the last page and asked Liu Zhenwei.

Liu Zhenwei loosened his tie and said affirmatively: "The poor hall is selected in the countryside, Linji will replace it with villagers, a bag of fruit for a family, to ensure that everyone starts work happily every day, my mother-in-law is in the countryside of the New Territories, maybe the fruits are saved, Linji saves most of the money, the starring actor chooses the cheapest movie star partner in the second and third lines, the salary Wang Jiawei told me last night, the end of the second line is about 200,000, the third line salary is 100,000, the two leading actors are 300,000, and the other leading actors will find some two dozen and six tops, counting 200,000, 500,000 is the other expenses of the crew. ”

Listening to the other party talking about the cost of a movie, Huo Dongjun felt that the script was probably made by Wang Jiawei in Liu Zhenwei's mouth, and Liu Zhenwei studied the cost of one night.

"I nodded my head last night, and when I officially go to work, I'll ask someone to pick up a check for you after signing the contract. Huo Dongjun picked up the script and returned it to Liu Zhenwei and said.

"Thank you Jun Shao, you are exactly the same as my first boss. Seeing Huo Dongjun nodding, Liu Zhenwei got up and took back the script, and said with a smile: "In 80, I worked in a Philippine investment company in the United Kingdom, and I met the heir of the Philippine consortium, who was just twenty-two years old, and liked to watch movies the most. You are the same as him, after reading the script, give me a check for one million to let me direct, I didn't disappoint the first boss back then, and today, I won't let Jun Shao disappoint you, thank you, in fact, I want to direct the tube, it is selfish, the most connected in the Hong Kong film industry is the director, as soon as the work starts, the crew will come to pull feelings with you, and then use him next time you start work, Yu Yunhang was in charge of film shooting back then, and the entire company and the crew outside spoke to him, I am a president, and no one knows me. ”

It seems that Liu Zhenwei was stimulated by his five-year career as president of a film company, no wonder he came back to be a director this time, everyone in Century Pictures only remembers Yu Yunhang, but not him Liu Zhenwei, even Century closed down, and the two ended up completely different, Yu Yunhang was immediately co-opted by Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, because he had the identity of a director and made several applauded movies, but Liu Zhenwei left Hong Kong gloomily, no one cared, because he was never regarded as a filmmaker from beginning to end, just a lucky nominal boss.

"I also believe that Zhen Viagra will not disappoint a few friends who have been standing by your side. Huo Dongjun said with a smile.

After opening the company by himself, he was really in a hurry, especially when Le Yiling flew to Japan to see the market and film companies, for example, Liu Zhenwei started a play, and the company had to carry out a series of procedures in accordance with the production process, but fortunately, Liu Zhenwei has experience in filmmaking and has done a series of procedures well, such as capital expenditure breakdown, reporting, predicting box office revenues, etc., which makes Huo Dongjun feel that it is not overkill to let this guy go out to make movies, and it is appropriate to be a producer

In the morning, after finishing Liu Zhenwei's entry procedures and one million expenditures, it was almost ten o'clock when Ghost Guy Feng appeared in the company to see Huo Dongjun, and in his hand was a set of makeup photos of Wang Guxian that he helped take last night.

"Haven't you started work outside recently?" Huo Dongjun asked seeing that Du Kefeng was still the jacket he wore when he signed the basic contract last time.

Du Kefeng shook his head: "Running to be a camera assistant for others is not considered a job." ”

The camera assistant is the camera assistant, and the more direct point is the camera worker, there are three or four cameras in a play, and two people are responsible for the operation of each camera, of course, there is no need to think about the technical content, what size of the film lens position and the like are decided by the photographer in charge of the camera, and the camera is only responsible for moving the track and adjusting the lens position.

"So downcast, hey, after the last "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", Brother Qiang has already served as the on-site assistant director of two dramas, and you, the director of photography, have no work to do?" Huo Dongjun asked in surprise.

"Hong Kong films are unique in the world, and they started to talk about connections, and last month, they started to do the assistant director's scene for Qiang Zai, but half of them were replaced, replaced by directors and photographers with good relationships. Du Kefeng leaned against the sand, put his hands behind his head, and his tone was a little lost.

Hong Kong movies are a huge social circle, it is not important to have talent, it is important for someone to praise talent, Mai Zishan has become a little famous in the circle in the past two years, and he has cut hundreds of movies before, but no one knows him, because he is a helper for his master, the master does nothing, and the cut movie is directly signed, Mai Zishan can only be an invisible person, but if he is dissatisfied, then he doesn't even have to think about doing work, and many people rush to take over.

"The company is going to start a play, but I don't plan to use you who have signed a basic contract, because now whether it is Brother Cai, Master Deng, or even Qiangzai, the price is too high, you are interested in taking charge of this film, the investment cost is one million, and the photographer will have a salary of twenty or thirty thousand at most. Huo Dongjun thought about it and said to Du Kefeng.

Signing a basic contract does not mean that you can only open a company, but that the company provides the most basic monthly living security, and when the company needs to start work, this group of people should give priority to scheduling for the company to start work, so Liu Zhenwei's one million cheap film, Huo Dongjun did not call a few big names who signed the basic contract to come and start work, without it, Liu Zhenwei's one million can't pay a few people at all, or find cheaper labor.

"Open, twenty or thirty thousand is better than no work to open. Du Kefeng's eyes lit up when he heard Dongyi start work: "You are a director?"

Huo Dongjun shook his head: "A work that tests the waters, there is a new director to shoot, you don't have a high price, he will consider it, and now he is in the hall outside to ask people to help check the news." ”

"I'll go see him. Du Kefeng got up and walked out, twenty or thirty thousand can at least let himself hold on for a while, it's better than being hungry.

Waiting for Du Kefeng to leave, Huo Dongjun opened the envelope and looked at Wang Guxian's makeup photos, Hou Yongcai didn't know which set to go to, but actually helped Wang Guxian make a scene, there are two photos of Wang Guxian looking at the bright moon made of curtains outside the window in the ancient house with beans, wearing a white dress that mops the floor, long and scattered, even if there is an oil lamp lit, it still can't hide Wang Guxian's coldness, inadvertently looking back and chuckling, with a hint of ghostly temperament.

"Brother Cai is really dedicated. When Huo Dongjun saw the first photo, he was sure that in addition to the scene, Hou Yongcai must have found a big fan and blew it at Wang Guxian's head in order to blow a long fluttering picture.

The second one, looking at the background is a mountain forest, but it is not a curtain scene, but a real scene, it may have gone to the top of a nearby mountain to shoot, the lighting is in place, which can make people see clearly, but it also shoots the cold silence of the middle of the night, Wang Guxian changed into a more simple white dress, bare feet and ankles, tied with a red rope, embellished with a small ring, although facing the camera, it gives people the feeling that she is flying away backwards, her head is rushing forward from back to front, Wang Guxian is facing the pretty eyes, her red lips are slightly open, and she wants to speak.

Huo Dongjun observed carefully, and could even see the inconspicuous wires behind Wang Guxian, thinking that there was a fan blowing behind Wang Guxian.

"After reading these photos, if Xu doesn't order Taiwan sister to be Nie Xiaoqian, I am ready to make a female ghost movie to praise her. Huo Dongjun looked at the makeup photos on the screen, which were almost no different from Nie Xiaoqian, and said softly.
