204 Xiangjiang, draw a skin
The filming in Hong Kong was carried out very efficiently.
It only took one day for the task to be completed.
The main reason is that "Pacific Rim" doesn't actually use real life.
The same is true of the original film, after all, this is the future world, and Xiangjiang is the last fortress of mankind, how many original landmark buildings can be preserved under such conditions?
So this time it was the same, Lu Ping'an only took a few buildings, as well as the night view of the food stalls at night, and the big view of Victoria Bay.
And then it's over.
After that, the team will re-set the set in the mainland and complete various shoots in the studio just like in the original "Batman".
When it comes to the street scene of Xiangjiang, you can come to Xiangjiang to do an audit when the time comes.
This is the rule, otherwise the movie will not be released in Xiangjiang.
After the filming is completed, Lu Ping'an's mission to Xiangjiang this time is half completed.
The remaining half is to talk to Chen Jiashang.
It's also very simple, just find Guorong to shake people.
Chen Jiashang and Guorong are friends, and they have a special fate.
The first film Chen Jiashang participated in was "Fate" in 1984, which was written by him.
At that time, Guorong was not yet popular, and the original actor of the movie was not him, Chen Jiashang, who was doing scene notes at Shaw Brothers at the time, and a group of young people strongly recommended Guorong to star, and even launched a public vote on the street for this, and Guorong was elected as the male lead.
It was precisely because of Chen Jiashang's action that the Shaw Brothers senior management at that time decided to use Guorong "Bo once".
Guorong remembers this incident now, so when Lu Ping'an talked about Chen Jiashang, Guorong said a lot of good things.
Coincidentally, Chen Jiashang has suffered some setbacks in his career.
Lu Ping'an felt that things might be easier to handle now.
So after filming the scene, Lu Ping'an went straight to the hotel that he had made.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the agreed time, but Chen Jiashang was already waiting at the hotel table.
There's no way, who let him make an appointment with Lu Ping'an.
Chen Jiashang attaches great importance to this.
He is currently suffering a career waterloo.
Not long ago in September, the movie "A1-Headlines" that he wrote and directed had just been drawn.
Huang Earthworm, Guanxi, Li Xinjie and other co-starring.
As a result, the box office was only 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars!
Big pounce.
Chen Jiashang is a director who has long become famous, and many of the works he has filmed are like thunder.
For example, Lian Jie's "Jingwu Hero", "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", Zhou Xingxing's "Truant Weilong", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" and so on.
Blood thickness.
Endurance.
Just a movie hitting the street, small meaning.
It's not like he hasn't pounced in his past career.
Not a big problem.
But there is a premise for this.
The premise is that the Hong Kong Film Market is prosperous.
In the past, Xiangjiang movies were at their peak.
Pounce once, soon there will be new opportunities, and then it will soon be possible to turn over.
But now it's different.
The film and television industry in Hong Kong has shrunk visibly.
Xiangjiang movie pills.
I'm Chen Jiashang, eighty percent of them are also pills!
As a result, at this moment, Chen Jiashang, who was depressed when he encountered a low point in his career, actually got an olive branch from the mainland!
Mainland.
Although there are still many Hong Kong filmmakers who look down on the mainland.
But Chen Jiashang is definitely not.
Since 02, the mainland has won hundreds of millions of box office champions.
With such a big and growing market, who wouldn't be hungry?
But just like mainland actors who want to enter the Hong Kong circle, it is actually difficult for Hong Kong filmmakers to enter the mainland.
It's easy to enter, but if you want to enter steadily, there is a reliable channel, and it is difficult to develop steadily.
Fortunately, there is such a reliable opportunity in front of us.
That is the olive branch thrown by Lu Ping'an!
Who Lu Ping'an is, there is no one in Xiangjiang who doesn't know.
According to the statistics of Xiangjiang Media, Lu Ping'an's total global box office exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars!
He is currently the record holder of the highest box office in mainland China.
The most potential film genius in the mainland!
As a director, he is the object of worship of actors and ordinary fans.
As a producer, he is also the object of jealousy of Xiangjiang filmmakers.
Now he has a new identity, that is, the employer.
There is money, distribution channels, technology, strength, and a hard background.
Now it's all right.
Lu Ping'an is Dad!
"Lu Dao, what's going on today?"
After the greetings, Chen Jiashang took a steady sip of wine, with many years of experience behind him, even if he was full of anticipation in his heart, this kind of scene was still stable.
Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "Guorong talked about you before, saying that you have been in some difficulties recently, if you have the opportunity, I can cooperate with you, it just so happens that I also like Director Chen's movies very much, I have seen them since I was a child, so I took advantage of today to come to Xiangjiang to do business and talk to you by the way." ”
After Chen Jiashang heard this, he said in his heart, no wonder Lu Ping'an would come to him for no reason, it turned out that it was because of national glory.
Immediately, his mind was in a trance.
"Guorong, he didn't tell me."
Of course he didn't, and he couldn't.
Because that's what I did.
Lu Ping'an smiled in his heart, his expression was surprised, and then he sighed: "Yes, Guorong is really a friend." ”
"yes, it's a true friend."
Chen Jia took a sip of wine, his face was full of emotion, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Ping'an took the opportunity to get to the point: "Director Chen, if you are interested in Liaozhai painting, we can cooperate in the future." ”
Saying that, Lu Ping'an spread his hands: "You come to the script, money is not a problem." ”
The actual script of the movie "Painted Skin" is from Chen Jiashang's team.
Since Lu Ping'an has decided not to adapt "Painted Skin", he can't be named a screenwriter.
So simply throw an olive branch in the name of national glory.
In this way, Guorong can get a personal favor for nothing, and he can also get the project done by himself, and he can also make money to support others.
Even if he is scolded at that time, he will be scolded Chen Jiashang.
I believe that no matter how stupid Chen Jiashang is, he will not backstab the gold master.
In addition, if the movie is successful, Chen Jiashang can also become a stable partner.
There are still many high-profit movies in the mainland that this person later did.
"Painted Skin", "Painted Wall", "Four Famous Shops Series" and so on.
Commercially, it's a good partner.
So this time, it's a win-win.
"No problem, road guide!"
Chen Jiashang was very happy and raised his glass to toast.
He knows that if his career wants to enter the second spring and successfully enter the mainland market, Lu Ping'an is the most reliable choice.
Thank you Guorong!
Thanks for the guide!
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Things are done for now.
Lu Ping'an gave him half a year to polish the script.
Chen Jiashang said that he also had ideas about this subject for a long time.
It's even better now.
The only uncertain point is what to do if the final script comes out and it is different from the original.
It's also simple, you can make an anonymous script, and then guide it.
After drinking, people sent Chen Jiashang, who was numb, back to the hotel, and Lu Ping'an called Guorong.
Borrowing the friendship of Guorong to do things, you still have to say something.
After hearing this, Guorong laughed and said that Lu Ping'an was a little bad, and then hung up the phone after meeting Bashu.
He's still in class, gym class, but he can't be on the phone for too long.
The matter is done, Lu Ping'an's affairs in Xiangjiang will be over, and the next stop, Wanwan.
