Chapter 278: Movie

Huo Dongjun does not deny that Fang Yuping's words are very reasonable, the idea of a charity movie should indeed be to let the audience have some understanding in the movie, and use the movie to explore the origin of the incident, if it were not for the attitude of the Hong Kong government now, Huo Dongjun would not mind Fang Yuping making such a touching movie, but now whether it is the British government of Hong Kong, or the Yau Kam Tong Charity Foundation, or even Po Leung Kuk, the movie they hope to make is not what Fang Yuping imagined, they hope to highlight You Jintang, a civil servant hero, and use the hero's existence to dilute the impact of the fire itself on the city。

"Fang Sheng, I very much agree with your opinion on this charity movie, and I personally appreciate your positioning and intention for this movie. Huo Dongjun pondered the words, and the other party Yuping said slowly: "This is indeed a charity movie, but the investor You Jintang Charity Foundation wants to see a movie that focuses on Mr. You Jintang, and you know that now the attention to Mr. You Jintang has gone beyond the fire incident itself, so ......"

Fang Yuping didn't wait for Huo Dongjun to finish laughing, he interrupted Huo Dongjun's words: " Huo Sheng, I understand what you mean, in fact, this charity movie has nothing to do with the fire, whether it is the foundation or the Po Leung Kuk, what they want is not to make people reflect on the disaster and tragedy, but to make this film a history of this disaster in the future, when many years later, when someone wants to understand the fire, they will not remember this movie because of the Hong Kong government's neglect of the people at the bottom, the defects of the Po Leung Kuk system, the inaction of the Social Welfare Department, they will only remember that there are civil servants who sacrificed to save children, there is a foundation to take care of the hero's family, Po Leung Kuk comforts the families of the deceased after the fire, this kind of movie is made in addition to making everyone forget the pain...... I'm sorry, Huo Sheng, I won't shoot this movie, that's not charity, that's sycophancy. ”

"Fang Sheng said yes before I finished speaking, isn't it too early, we can communicate with each other and make a movie in a compromise. If this charity movie changes from praising heroes to complaining about the British social system in Hong Kong, Lu Zhaotong pulled in, as well as Po Leung Kuk behind Zhuang Li Wanru, and even the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department, which has not yet spoken out, have become the targets of this film.

Fang Yuping shook his head, his smile was a little more reluctant than before, and there seemed to be signs of returning to ice:

"Huo Sheng, frankly speaking, the reason why this movie attracted me was because it was a charity movie, but now it seems that the word charity proposed by the foundation is very different from the word charity that I thought before, and this difference cannot even be compromised with the word eclectic. ”

Huo Dongjun pursed his lips and nodded, looked at Fang Yuping's disappointed eyes and said: "I'm sorry, although I agree with Director Fang's definition of this movie, but Director Fang, I can invite you to make a second movie, it's still the theme of fire, just shoot it from your perspective, it's still a charity movie, what do you think?"

Fang Yuping raised his head in some surprise and looked at this young man carefully, Huo Dongjun's words were very sincere, and his eyes were also very calm, not like an inspiration suddenly born because of his excitement.

"If you have one, why bother making another?"

Huo Dongjun grabbed a piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks and hung it between the two: "Some people like to eat bamboo shoots, after eating the first piece, when the bamboo shoots regenerate, they will eat the second time, not to mention, two movies, one is led by Po Leung Kuk and the Foundation, and the second part can be led by me Huo Dongjun's Dongyi Media, the first part I can't change, but the second part is my words, the first part, we will shoot it to the eyes of the government and the people, and the second part, we will shoot it to everyone's hearts, Director Fang, what do you think?"

Huo Dongjun's words were sincere, especially bluntly saying that he only had the right to shoot the company's first movie but had no dominant power, and the last sentence made Fang Yuping's eyes light up, one for the eyes to see, and the other for the hearts to see.

"What does Huo Sheng mean, I hope that the two movies will start filming at the same time?" Fang Yuping leaned forward slightly, and the flame that had just been extinguished in his heart flickered slightly.

Of course, Huo Dongjun's inner thoughts will not be as righteous and awe-inspiring as he said, the reason why he decided to continue to pay money to make a charity movie imagined by Fang Yuping is nothing more than to enhance his personal fame again, the name of the salty and wet king is very difficult to hear, although the other people who rely on women's photos to make money make others jealous, but they are not envious of Huo Dongjun, the name of the salty and wet king, Huo Dongjun even thought that if he bought the "Daily Daily", the Hong Kong people are likely to call the "Oriental Daily" "White Powder Daily" like the white powder horse Similarly, Huo Dongjun's "Tiantian Daily" is called "Xianshi Daily".

Philanthropist and salty and wet king are obviously two words that are very incompatible.

In order to avoid being called a salty and wet film company in the future, Huo Dongjun felt it necessary to give Fang Yuping hundreds of thousands of yuan to make a movie that the audience was sleepy but received rave reviews.

And I plan to make money in the film industry in the future, and it is also necessary to have a good relationship with these stars and directors now, otherwise I will really find Chen Hao to point at the heads of those big-name stars with a short dog to shoot his company's scenes in the future?

However, it is impossible to shoot two movies at the same time, one movie praises the government, and the other movie swells the government's face, Huo Dongjun feels that even if Lu Zhaotang is his own uncle, it is impossible to hold himself, if he really wants to do this, Lu Zhaotang is estimated to be the first to jump out and clean himself up.

Half a year to a year later, it doesn't matter if Fang Yuping shoots the second part, anyway, at that time, Lu Zhaotang, Po Leung Kuk and himself have already harvested what they should get, even if Fang Yuping makes a movie with a similar theme, the impact on everyone is not great, and the publicity of the second part will be decided by himself, and it will not be as overwhelming as the first one, low-key distribution, and it will only be gilded for Dongyi in the circle.

"The second part that I can lead, of course, can't be shot in such a hurry, and the interval between the two movies is too short, I am willing to ask Fang Sheng to personally handle the film script, Dongyi Company is only responsible for funding, and the shooting of the film will definitely not interfere, and I will be named the producer of this film, so what does Director Fang think? However, the investment amount and star lineup of the second part may be far less amazing than the current one. Huo Dongjun directly told Fang Yuping that if he didn't direct this part, the second part would have a huge gap in terms of funding and actors.

Fang Yuping laughed: "Huo Sheng doesn't seem to know much about some of my styles of filmmaking. ”

Huo Dongjun frowned slightly, he didn't understand that the curly-haired director opposite was so confident at this time, and Yuan Bingtai next to him said to Huo Dongjun: "Director Fang has always used non-professional actors in filming, and "Half of the People", which just won the best picture, all the actors are ordinary people excavated by Director Fang, and he never uses stars, because stars can't shoot the kind of realism that Director Fang wants." ”

His second part is really the rhythm of continuing to burn hundreds of thousands to buy fame, Huo Dongjun can already imagine the miserable box office after the release of this film.

"Although I regret that Director Fang can't shoot the company's first film for Dongyi, I believe that the first film led by Dongyi will definitely be eye-catching because of Director Fang, but I don't know if Director Fang is willing to carve the script of the second part for Dongyi, I can pay Director Fang in advance, and the box office income of the second film will still be donated by Dongyi Company. Huo Dongjun said sincerely to Fang Yucai.

"I'm used to making a film and taking a break for a year, but since Huo Sheng is willing to cast a special film for me, I think both me and other directors will be very moved, especially not interfering in film creation, I still say the same sentence before, if there are more film company bosses like Huo Sheng in Hong Kong, please rest assured Huo Sheng, I will work with my old friend Shi Yangping Shuqi to write the script. Fang Yucai's words are equivalent to agreeing to Huo Dongjun that he is willing to shoot the first film with the leading rights for Dongyi Company.

Huo Dongjun's reaction to Fang Yuping's nodding was very calm, but he was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Shu Qi, at this time, Shu Qi was still in kindergarten in Taiwan, right? But he immediately understood that the Shu Qi in Fang Yuping's mouth was not the actress he knew in his previous life.

Yuan Bingtai's role at this time was highlighted, and when he heard Fang Yuping mention Shu Qi, he immediately said: "Director Fang, you don't know how good your relationship with Shu Qi is, this time Dongyi is shooting a charity movie, can you please say a few kind words, and let Mr. Shu help us do the publicity planning of the new film." ”

Fang Yuping pondered Yuan Bingtai's words, Huo Dongjun's sincerity to himself is not insufficient, he refused to shoot this one, Huo Dongjun immediately said that he would make a charity movie led by Dongyi to him, and whether it is for himself or for charity, the box office income of the two films is donated to charity, this gesture is very rare for a young boss who has already emerged in the business world at a young age, and what kind of company is Binbin Pictures that Huo Dongjun took over, since Fang Yuping is in Yindu Institution, he naturally knows a lot about the satellite companies below, Binbin is an empty shell discarded by Ye Zhiming, The copyright of the previous blockbuster movie has been sold, Chen Xinjian, Xiao Fangfang, Chen Huimin, Liang Puzhi, these colorful popular characters have also changed their courts, and they have refused to shoot this movie, at this time Yuan Bingtai proposed to let Shu Qi help with the publicity planning of the new film, Fang Yuping hesitated and nodded:

"I can talk to Shu Qi, and I think if there is no problem, he should agree. ”

Seeing Yuan Bingtai's ecstatic expression after receiving Fang Yuping's reply, Huo Dongjun was very puzzled by this guy's vision, the Fang Yuping he recommended was a Wenqing patient, if Shu Qi was also Wenqing again, Huo Dongjun felt that the Wenqing who should be removed from the company the most must be Yuan Bingtai.
