"The investment in this new drama is so big, can it hold up?" Zou Wenhuai sat in the VIP café of the Tsuen Wan Golf Driving Range, and asked with a smile at Xiang Watson opposite.

Xiang Huasheng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, then put down his hand and raised his head and smiled bitterly at Zou Wenhuai: "Zou Sheng, my Yongsheng did not let Golden Harvest take a share, but the local box office income of the movie, my Yongsheng was the highest profit shared by Golden Harvest Cinemas, box office, you care about my investment in this drama today, you don't want to ......"

"No, if you want to take some shares in your company, of course I won't wait until today to speak, I just care about it, and I won't get involved in your business. Zou Wenhuai sat back in a chair and said to Watson with a smile: "If you don't support enough, I'll borrow money for you." ”

"Zou Sheng's money, where am I brave enough to take it, as long as I can let my drama be screened in Jiahe Cinema, I will reward God. Xiang Watson smiled on his face, but his eyes kept staring at the eyes behind Zou Wenhuai's glasses, hoping to see through the meaning of the other party's words.

Zou Wenhuai looked sideways at the practice range outside the glass window, Yongsheng's Hu Zhaochang was playing with the secretary and assistant brought by Zou Wenhuai: "In Hong Kong, except for the two companies of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, no one has ever made a Western film, even if it is like you, Hong Kong films have never invited Hollywood stars to join, I asked you to come out to play golf today, just to say, Golden Harvest will support you, Cai Songlin wants to tear up the strips in Hong Kong and build a new cinema line, if your Yongsheng does not intervene in this matter, I will not believe it, but Cai Songlin stopped, Yongsheng can still grit his teeth and make this big production, so that I can appreciate it, and he is more generous than Zeng Zhiwei's good friend. ”

The more Zou Sheng said this, the more shocked I became. Said to Watson.

"Three million US dollars, Golden Harvest buys out the United States exercise the rights of Yongsheng's sequel to "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", your company gets three million US dollars, and you can also turn around, and make a few more films to catch up with the schedule now, otherwise, your company is now on the books, I am afraid that it is possible to open another drama with an investment of five million?" Zou Wenhuai turned his head back and said to Watson.

Three million US dollars, equivalent to about 24 million Hong Kong dollars, Xiang Watson was slightly stunned, Golden Harvest wants to buy the American exercise of his own play? Is it optimistic about this play, or is it really like Zou Wenhuai said, it is to help his company increase cash flow and turn around more freely?

This question is not very easy to judge, because Hong Kong movies are very rare to sell for $3 million in the United States, even if it is Cheng Long, who is highly praised by Golden Harvest, the movie made is only more than $8 million at the box office in the United States. Over the years, Golden Harvest has been cooperating with Hollywood's Warner, 2nd Century Fox and other large companies to make films, but except for the "Cannonball Speed" that made Golden Harvest crazy over 100 million profits, almost all other co-produced Western films failed, Zou Wenhuai turned to take the route of the year, ready to make Cheng Long the second Bruce Lee, and once again use action movies to capture Hollywood, three million dollars, to Watson dare not guarantee that his Yongsheng will go to the United States to contact business, is there anyone who will give a price of three million dollars, after all, except for a Sean Connery, All are Asian faces that Americans can't distinguish.

And if there is an extra 24 million Hong Kong dollars, Yongsheng will be able to quickly prepare two more crews to shoot new films and continue to make money.

"Three million US dollars, if you Yongsheng goes to the United States to contact the bank by yourself, it means that the film must get at least 12 million US dollars at the box office, and you can get the last 3 million US dollars, and if you negotiate the price yourself, at most 2 million. Zou Wenhuai took a sip of coffee, added an extra sugar cube to it, and said slowly.

Xiang Watson was silent for more than ten seconds before asking, "Since the American market is so difficult to fight, Zou Shengdian will take such care of me?"

Golden Harvest is not a charity association, and Xiang Huasheng doesn't believe that Zou Wenhuai is really so kind to help him.

"Because you want to sell the film to the United States, and it's a real big production, much more atmospheric than a clown like McDonald Bear who only goes to Europe for pocket money. Zou Wenhuai said loudly: "What's more, Golden Harvest bought the American exercise of power in this drama, also for your consideration, do you think that if someone breaks the news of Xinji, your film will still be on the 6th United States? Even if you are innocent, the Yankees will also launder money for you." ”

"I'll consider Zou Sheng's words. Xiang Watson's face remained unchanged and said politely.

Zou Wenhuai nodded lightly: "Cheng Long's "Police Story" is selling well, and I open my mouth this time, I also hope that the Yankees can remember the two Chinese faces." ”

"Are you sure this is really safe, director?" Sean Connery saw the scene where the second head of the sect changed his clothes and put on a stand-in disguised as himself, preparing to run wildly from a corridor with Huo Dongjun, which would explode later.

McDonald Bear had already ignored the ghost guy's questions, and looked at Yuan Kui, who held the walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone prepare, check the equipment one last time, Robert, and give me a guarantee of explosive points and power." ”

Waiting for the affirmative replies from all parties on the walkie-talkie, Yuan Kui called out and started.

The kind of picture of the explosion chasing the fleeing person with only one explosion point cannot give the effect, so although there is only one prop grenade that has been detonated in this corridor, the subsequent explosion is completed by the explosion of five explosion points in turn, and Huo Dongjun and Jiaotou Two, they need to run forward when the five explosion points are detonated in turn, not too fast, once it is too fast, the picture will not be thrilling enough, once it is too slow, although it will not be blown up, but the face is blown black, and the body is also possible to be overturned and injured by the air wave, so this scene, Huo Dongjun and Jiao Tou Er had done it more than a dozen times before with the act of blowing up the dots.

Seeing Huo Dongjun pulling the second head of the head with his head bowed forward and running forward the first bomb, that is, the prop grenade, Luo Lixian, who was in charge of the explosion special effects, pressed the switch in his hand, and the grenade five meters away from the two exploded, and a burst of violent fire appeared, and immediately, the second explosion point exploded four meters away, Huo Dongjun's expression was resolute, and he pulled the second head of the sect who pretended to be an old man with both hands and ran forward, "boom" the third, and exploded three meters away from the two people

The qi wave had already made the clothes of the two of them shake violently

"One last step," Yuan Kui yelled.

Huo Dongjun kicked and pounced, pressing the second head under him, Luo Lixian pressed the last button at the moment Huo Dongjun took off, and the fourth and fifth explosion points exploded at the same time, and the entire corridor was full of fire, and the flames almost touched the two of them

"Bang" Huo Dongjun and the two fell to the ground.

"Cut, perfect," Yuan Kui exclaimed.

The staff immediately pounced and helped the two out, while the others used fire extinguishers to extinguish the flames in the hallway.

"atTepuc?" Sean Connery shouted to McDonald's Bear, "I admired the fighting skills and body language that the two of them showed just now, but what is it now? Explosion? Two poor actors, living people, participated in the Vietnam War because of filming? This is not a movie, you could have done these scenes with special effects"

"Iamtvteffc (I'm the special effects for this film). Huo Dongjun patted the dust on his body, just came over and heard Sean Connery's words, and said a word in English to this old Western tough guy.

He made some slight progress in his English during this time, thanks to the English books and dictionaries left by Zhang Wulang, and some sentences and words could barely be heard and heard.

"I mean using a computer to do the explosion, and the actor just needs to do it on a green screen. Sean Connery thought that Huo Dongjun didn't understand what he said about Hollywood's special effects, and explained: "In Hollywood, actors don't have to be so dangerous, of course, it won't be all dangerous, sometimes you have to climb on an elevated highway or hang a tightrope, but at least you don't have to serve to participate in the war to feel the fire." ”

"I've read the book, at present, the average cost of a movie in Hollywood is as high as 260,000 US dollars a year, and it is 160 million Hong Kong dollars, in Hong Kong, except for Golden Harvest, no other film company has the strength to shoot a movie that costs as much as 160 million, and now, the cost of our film is less than 25 million Hong Kong dollars, and your salary accounts for most of it, and we have to spend 8 million production fees to complete the same action as Hollywood's computer special effects, the best way is to really detonate it, not rely on the computer, Of course, those are not real bombs, but fireworks, which only have light effects and are very low-damage. Huo Dongjun and Sean Connery said.

"Are you sure?" asked Sean Connery to Huo Dongjun.

Huo Dongjun nodded affirmatively: "Of course." ”

"Okay, how about I do it once? Let the stand-in rest, I'll run once. Sean Connery said aloud.

"No, tell the ghost, he just needs to wait for two close-ups. McDonald Bear said to the interpreter invited by Yongsheng: "Of course, fifteen days cannot be wasted on this. ”

The translator replaced the word ghost with Mr. Connelly, and told the other party, Sean Connelly stubbornly shook his head: "I want to try, I can't be like a coward, let someone finish the scene for me, and, when I ran just now, the stand-in kept his head down, I am the British Foreign Secretary, not because the explosion scared the mouse who only knows how to run around, remember to capture my expression, not the head." ”

"Sir, you don't need to take risks, the Hong Kong crew recommends that you only shoot dialogue and close-up scenes, and those dangerous actions can be done by stand-ins.

"He's said it's very harmless, it's just fireworks, Jean, let me try it. Sean Connery insisted: "I don't want this crew member to wait for me to leave and say to reporters, oh, Sean Connery from the United States came here just to slap him in the face, in fact, his ass and body are completely another person, he's not a tough guy, he's a coward." ”

McDonald Bear waited for Sean Connery to personally guarantee this scene, and then went to shoot the literary drama, nodded to Yuan Kui, and tried to tell Huo Dongjun to pay attention to protecting the ghost.

Huo Dongjun took Sean Connery across the corridor, told the other party the location of the five bombing points, reminded him of the problems to pay attention to, and used two smoke points to realize, and then the filming officially began.

Just in case, at the insistence of Sean Connerry's assistant, Sean Connery was put on a body armor under his suit

"Again, Robert, get ready for the blast, camera, take care to capture the ghost's expression. Yuan Kui said aloud.

“ttnetbsp; Huo Dongjun pulled Sean Connelly out of the corner of the corridor this time, Sean Connery looked a little panicked when the explosion point was not sounded, but his eyes looked at the camera accurately, giving an expression of life and death.

"Boom" The first explosion point sounded

Sean Connery's legs were about to soften, Huo Dongjun added strength to his hands, almost dragging the other party forward, and the explosion behind him came "boom boom".

Waiting for Yuan Kui to call out cu Huo Dongjun got up and helped Sean Connery up, Sean Connelly stared at Huo Dongjun for a long time before saying a word:

"For a split second I thought I had stepped on a landmine and the floor was shaking, kid, that's what you mean by low damage? How did you do that cool look in the explosion? I was always worried that I was going to lose my ass because of this scene, but I loved the experience and let me know that Hong Kong actors are better suited to play tough guys than Hollywood actors. ”

Fifteen days were fleeting, and Sean Connery had done most of the shots, with only a few minor action scenes that could be handed over to a stand-in.

Although the crew, from top to bottom, is unhappy with this Hollywood ghost who likes to find faults, I have to admit that this guy has brought some Hollywood movie concepts that are very worthy of learning, especially Huo Dongjun.

"Huo, I'm leaving, protecting me, the British Foreign Minister for fifteen days, will it make you feel a lot of pressure? Aha, although I didn't have a chance to see the movie finished, but I guess this will be a wonderful movie, aside from the plot, those wonderful fights and realistic explosions are enough to ⊥ the audience pay for a ticket to see this movie, to be honest, I still don't believe that a movie with a cost of only three million dollars can be shot so beautifully, I mean those scenes, maybe one day I will turn to be a director, I will consider coming to Hong Kong to start work, You said your teacher in Hollywood was called "Zhang Wulang?" which is a strange name, but I'll go to him and ask him to help me design the action scenes, goodbye, Mr. Chinese Bodyguard. ”

Sean Connery put on sunglasses, stood in the airport hall, and said with a smile to Huo Dongjun, who came to see him off the plane.

"Good-bye, Mr. Foreign Minister, or, Mr. James Bond. Huo Dongjun said to Sean Connery.

Sean Connery's scene is completed, which actually means that most of the plot of this drama has been filmed almost, and the first thing McDonald Bear said after waiting for the ghost guy to leave was to take a two-day break before filming the following scenes.

After Huo Dongjun went back to the second floor of the pharmacy he rented and slept for two days, the first news he learned was that Xiang Watson sold the rights to the film in the United States to Golden Harvest for three million US dollars, and the second news made him have no time to think about the deal between Yongsheng and Golden Harvest, because Le Yiling flew back to Hong Kong from South Korea.

Dongyi Company's small investigation in Southeast Asia is over.
