Chapter 279: Meet Again

Fang Yuping's attitude made Huo Dongjun realize that what Dongyi Media's vigorously promoted charity film needs at this time is not a famous director, but an obedient director, otherwise it can be seen from Fang Yuping's incident that filming has not started yet, but it is just a matter of the idea of the script, Fang Yuping has a disagreement with the investor, and it is good that there is a disagreement before the start of filming, if there is a disagreement in the middle of the filming, this will make the foundation, Baoliangju and even Huo Dongjun crazy.

"Does the company have any directors who have been praised before?" After saying goodbye to Fang Yucai, Huo Dongjun got into the Mercedes-Benz and asked Yuan Bingtai, who was also sitting in the back seat.

Yuan Bingtai nodded: "Of course there are praises, Xiao Fangfang, Liang Puzhi, Chen Xinjian are all new directors who were promoted by Binbin before, but these people have signed new companies, it is better to contact those big-name directors than to contact them, such as Fang Yuping." ”

Huo Dongjun turned his face sideways and stared at Yuan Bingtai's eyes and said: "What I need is an obedient director, who shoots according to the script, and does not need him to add ideas, the kind that is willing to be a technical worker, that is, this movie is a producer's talk, and the director does things." ”

Being stared at by Huo Dongjun's somewhat stern eyes made Yuan Bingtai subconsciously lower his head, and Huo Dongjun's attitude in an instant made Yuan Bingtai feel that he was not talking to a young new boss again.

"Yes, it's just that none of the movies they make are very high at the box office, and two of them have even switched to commercials and TV series now. ”

"Get them out. Huo Dongjun turned his head to look at He Weiju in the front seat: "The script will be filmed in the direction you wrote, focusing on the image of You Jintang." ”

He Weiju was originally pointed out by Fang Yucai that the script problem was strict, and his face was depressed, he failed in the creation of the script of "Flying Fox", and this time he was thought that the script deviated from the theme and was under great psychological pressure by Fang Yuping, a big director who won the award and got a soft hand, and at this time he suddenly heard Huo Dongjun say the script in the back seat and continued according to the line of his creation, turning his head a little uncertainly, and a pair of eyes widened, making the already evil face even more fierce:

"Jun Shao, you are talking, continue to fill in according to my script?"

Huo Dongjun rubbed his eyebrows, He Weiju's glaring appearance went to make a cameo appearance in the rivers and lakes boss without any pressure, ignoring his Sven tone, just retaining his stunned expression just now and saying that it was a gangster in the rivers and lakes, it can definitely scare a lot of sheep.

"Your script is good, Director Fang is just different from the Foundation's concept, your script portrays the image of You Jintang very well, especially the design of the climax at the end, the hero is fearless, it must be eye-catching. ”

"But Director Fang's words about the script I wrote are blasphemy on this subject?" He Weiju attaches great importance to Fang Yuping's evaluation, he is just a second-rate screenwriter, and the opinions given by the first-line director make him feel like a boulder in his heart.

"Director Fang's movies don't sell as much at the box office as your "Flying Fox", not to mention that you have also written blockbuster films like "Inside and Outside the Wall", you don't need to pay too much attention to the views of a director with a strong style like Fang Yuping, he doesn't like the problem, the Foundation, Po Leung Kuk and the people like it, don't the people like to see heroes without fear, but like to be drowsy?" Huo Dongjun looked at Stanley Old Street outside the window, and said in an affirmative tone.

......

Yuan Bingtai found a director named Huang Zhiqiang, and Binbin opened two dramas for him to shoot, one is the police fashion film "Ballroom", and the other is the future sci-fi theme "Fighting the Ring", but unfortunately although it has received a lot of praise from film critics, especially the combination of "Fighting the Ring" that is ahead of the future world and Hong Kong-style hard bridge and hard horse kung fu, which has made many film critics full of praise, but unfortunately it is not in the eyes of the audience, and it failed to achieve a high box office, and it has been transferred to Century Pictures to shoot "Crazy Man" , It's a pity that just over half of the shooting, Century Pictures has closed down, Huang Zhiqiang was almost chopped in half because of this heartfelt work to vomit blood, this time he was summoned by Yuan Bingtai, Huang Zhiqiang hesitated again and again, but still agreed to be a technical director, at least he could keep a bowl of rice.

With the director and crew, when Fok Dongjun wanted Lu Zhaotang to name the film, Luk Zhaotang gave this opportunity to Chen Fang Anran, who happily named the film "The Fire Boy", and spoke on behalf of the Social Welfare Department, expressing support and affirmation that Yau Kam Tong Charitable Foundation, Po Leung Kuk and Dongyi Media can make a charity film, and the Social Welfare Department will have been assisting the crew and main creative staff during the filming of the film.

Naturally, Huo Dongjun would not waste the opportunity of the Social Welfare Department to speak out, and immediately officially announced that "The Fire Boy" will spare no expense to invite a number of stars to participate in the creation of this film, and all the income from this film will be donated to the Yau Kam Tong Charity Foundation and the Children's Foundation under Po Leung Kuk.

After Yuan Bingtai got Huo Dongjun's instructions, he began to contact the well-known artists signed by major companies such as Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and New Art City.

Xu Brothers, Hong Yibao, Cheng Long, Leslie Cheung, Yuan Biao and a group of artists who have an appointment with Golden Harvest were the first to express their willingness to participate in the performance of this charity film for free, Shi Tian, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming, Ye Tong and other new art city lineages are also the most responsive to the Welfare Department's voice, Shaw Brothers is the last to speak, but it is what makes Huo Dongjun feel the most shocked, almost all the star artists of TVB have expressed their willingness to participate in the filming of this charity movie.

This is the first time that a film in the Hong Kong film and television industry can discharge such a large scale of star lineup, after the media published the statements of various film companies and TV stations and stars, almost all the people were boiling because of this news, Huang Zhiqiang and He Weiju even after other companies made statements, and frantically revised and filled the script for several days in a row.

However, although there are many stars, in the starring list of this movie, the signed artists of Dongyi Company occupy four places, Ren Huihua, Su Jialun, Yokosuka Masami, and Yushan Riko's names are hung on the starring list, and the artists of other companies, except for those big stars who are eye-catching enough, other stars with slightly worse reputation can only belong to cameo performances, maybe only one line, or just two shots and so on.

The opening ceremony of the film was held in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, and more than a dozen people, including the Director of Social Welfare of Hong Kong, Chan Fong On Ran, the Director of the Po Leung Kuk Recreation Committee, Chong Lee Yuen-yu, the Vice President of the New Territories Federation of Community Organizations, Mr Luk Siu-tong, the President of the Yuen Long Junior Chamber of Commerce, Fok Tung-chun, the boss of Dongyi Media, the Executive Director of Golden Harvest Film Company, Ho Koon-cheong, the Chairman of New Arts City Pictures, Lui Juek-kun, and the producer of Shaw Brothers Film Company, Fong Yat-wah, and the Director of Social Welfare, Chan Fong An-ran, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.

So far, "The Man on Fire" has become the most concerned movie by the Hong Kong people for the first time, and major media have reported on the filming progress.

After the film started, Huo Dongjun began to quickly start working with contacts to create the theme song and trailer of the film, and the promotional video, striving for the blank period generated during the filming, and using songs, trailers, and star promotional videos to maintain the attractiveness of the movie.

The filming of this film promotional film was handed over by Yuan Bingtai to Binbin Pictures before Zhuang Ziqiang, who later switched to the advertising industry, Zhuang Ziqiang was once a contracted director of Binbin, but unfortunately there has been no drama for him, when Ye Zhiming sold the assets of Binbin Pictures, the twenty-nine-year-old director Zhuang Ziqiang switched to the advertising industry because he had no drama to film, and the huge "Fire Boy" made her return to the company to shoot a promotional film, Zhuang Ziqiang simply resigned from his position in the advertising company and came back to work.

As for the theme song creation of the movie, Huo Dongjun found Huang Zhan and Li Xiaotian, these two have helped Binbin create movie songs many times before, "Jumping Ash", "Flying Fox", "Twin Brothers", "Inside and Outside the Wall" and other songs are mostly completed by the two, this time the theme song, whether from Huo Dongjun's personal relationship with Huang Zhan, or from Binbin's previous partnership with the two, they are Huo Dongjun's first candidates.

However, Huo Dongjun remembered that he promised Lu Zhaotang to let him create a song, the tune of this song Huo Dongjun doesn't know how to score, but the lyrics can still be excerpted by virtue of the advantage of rebirth, as for the name of the song's creator, of course, Huo Dongjun created it himself, and then signed the names of Lu Zhaotang and Huo Dongjun.

"Drove me to the Red Lion Bar. Huo Dongjun got into the Mercedes-Benz and said to Shbana: "I remember that bar is as idle as Chai Jiu's 666." ”

Shi Bana drove Huo Dongjun to Lan Kwai Fong, and went to the Red Lion Bar along the ramp, still the young ghost bartender with a cowboy hat, Huo Dongjun was the same as last time, grabbed a dart and threw one towards the target plate, but this time the results were not good, only hit the seven rings, Huo Dongjun shrugged, sat in front of the bar with a stack of manuscript paper, in addition to Huo Dongjun, there was also a woman sitting next to the bar, at this time with her head down, unable to see clearly.

"Two beers, thank you. Huo Dongjun said to the bartender, and then spread the manuscript paper in front of the bar, trying to think of what suitable songs he had in his last life to use in the trailer of this movie.

There was only a position between Huo Dongjun and the woman, the woman seemed to notice that there were other drinkers next to her, raised her head and looked at Huo Dongjun, at this time Huo Dongjun was staring intently at the empty manuscript paper on the bar, ignoring the woman next to her, the woman was attracted by Huo Dongjun's focused expression, and moved slightly towards Huo Dongjun's position curiously, wanting to see what attracted Huo Dongjun on the paper.

At this time, Huo Dongjun suddenly bowed down, and the pen in his hand wrote a line of text on the snow-white manuscript paper, and when the woman saw it clearly, Huo Dongjun had already written two lines of fluent font:

"Maybe it's a nurse, white and warm, maybe it's a philosopher, enlightening the darkness, every little face, we should look up, every child is a little sun......"
