Huo Dongjun asked with a smile: "That is, in 86 years, Uncle Tang will be able to have another title of regional councillor?"

Deng Zhaotang nodded, chose a cigar for Huo Dongjun, and smiled at this time with a pair of eyes slightly sunken into his eye sockets: "This time I set up a foundation to seize the opportunity, and the people expressed great support for the surface of the foundation and my decision, which made President Song very satisfied, and was ready to arrange for someone to make way for me." “

Tang Siutang's President Song is the president of the New Territories Federation of Societies Song Liansheng, and Tang Zhaotang's Yuen Long Junior Chamber of Commerce is a subordinate association of the New Territories Federation of Societies.

Huo Dongjun took the cigar in Deng Zhaotang's hand and thanked him, and then said: "That's the case, the film company has already done it, and the movie will be made in about three months, is it not now to contact Ms. Zhuang Li Wanru and let the Po Leung Bureau release the news to the outside world, and talk to the You Jintang Charity Foundation to prepare a charity film based on Mr. You Jintang and the fire accident, calling on everyone to pay attention to the safety of the children at home, and the greatness of the fire police, remember those faces that were once alive, sacrifice for the dead, and admonish the living." ”

"Three months, isn't it a long time?" Deng Zhaotang looked at Huo Dongjun and asked: "Now the Foundation has sent condolences to the families of those deceased children, and various media are reporting it, but the movie will not appear until three months later, and this period of time will cool down in the middle, maybe after the movie comes out, everyone has forgotten about it." ”

"Movies are like that, and it will take a few months at the earliest. Huo Dongjun helped Lu Zhaotang light a cigar and said, it is really difficult to help Lu Zhaotang, an old fox, do things, he said that three months is fast enough, he is still too slow, and Huo Dongjun can't guarantee that it will be a lump of poop for three months: "If it's too fast, the movie will be the same as poop." ”

Deng Zhaotang wanted to say that it didn't matter if it was a, but he immediately thought that the company was Huo Dongjun's, and if the stool was filmed, the reputation of the foundation would not be damaged, but the young man opposite was estimated to be scolded by the media, and maybe he would be scolded for insulting Hong Kong heroes and the like, if he was scolded for this kind of thing, Huo Dongjun's identity would be completely stinky.

"Is there a way to keep everyone paying attention to this movie these months, or focusing on our philanthropic acts?" Lu Zhaotang exhaled a puff of pale blue smoke and did not sit back in his place, but sat on the sofa next to Huo Dongjun.

Huo Dongjun was silent for dozens of seconds before he slowly spoke: " Then we will come up with an all-star trailer, but now it is a little difficult, it is best for Po Leung Kuk to let the Welfare Department speak out, and get even the government's support even if it is just words, we can invite celebrities to come and support us to make a movie, if we ask them out, and they don't shoot, then the newspaper will say that they don't even do good deeds, and the celebrities will endure the stain on their reputation, but this matter, there must be a government to support it, if we don't have the government to speak out to support this set, it will be ugly to die. ”

"Speaking of which, if the Welfare Department has a statement, you are going to make this so-called trailer. Lu Zhaotang asked quietly.

Huo Dongjun is smart, sensible, and obedient, especially the foundation that he thinks of to fight for fame, so that he has recently received a lot of praise in the rural forces and the New Territories Federation of Societies, Song Liansheng opened his mouth to support his entry into the regional council in 86 years, and he has already stated that if his situation has been on the rise in recent years, the next session may not be able to let the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of China and the Federation of Trade Unions support him to enter the Legislative Council.

"The so-called trailer is a movie trailer, we can use the banner of the government, a lower posture, to beg those big companies to show our movie trailer at the beginning of the film before the movie, all-star is just a gimmick, Zhong You, I will make a promotional video, the promotional film is ready to put some Uncle Tang and other philanthropists condolences to the family of the deceased and the family of You Jintang, and then find some stars to sing the theme song or express their views on You Jintang to the camera, so that people in Hong Kong watch movies and TV every day, every time they watch the movie, they will see you condolences to the family of the deceased, even if he wants to watch it, he can't watch it, but this matter is easier said than done, the people don't understand that your Uncle Tang is fighting for eyeballs, but the government or others will definitely know, so I think if you want to get this thing done, you may need Uncle Tang to give up some benefits, such as giving government figures some shots that are not less than you, I heard people say that the newly appointed Director of Welfare, Chen Fang Anran, likes charity, people's hearts, and democracy. ”

Lu Zhaotang was silent with a cigar between his legs, Huo Dongjun said well, there will be no stupid people in government officials, if you want to fight for eyeballs, the best way is to pull people into the game together, and let out some benefits, but Chen Fang Anran in Huo Dongjun's mouth is very strong, Lu Zhaotang is worried that if the Welfare Department comes forward, will his foundation be played.

"If that woman is allowed to come forward, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to play. Lu Zhaotang still expressed his concerns about Huo Dongjun after half a sound, Chen Fang Anran was the deputy director of the Welfare Department, he was known to love the people's attention, when he proposed the idea of equal pay for equal work between male and female civil servants, he was originally a senior civil servant of the Welfare Department, but Chen Fang Anran stood in front of the stage under the banner of supporting each other, and formed a senior female government officials association, and attracted a large number of female civil servants to join the association, Chen Fang became the first female director since the opening of Hong Kong.

Now is the time for her to stand up and express her posture after taking up her new position, Lu Zhaotang knows without analysis that if this matter seeks support from the Welfare Department, Chen Fang Anran will definitely support it, as for her support, is it possible for her group to stand in the eyes of the people.

"Uncle Tang thinks too much, it's just a movie, invested by You Jintang Charity Foundation, produced by Dongyi Media, strongly supported by Po Leung Kuk, all three institutions are non-governmental organizations, we can first release the news that the film is about to be filmed, even if the director wants to intervene, it will not be too exaggerated, it is nothing more than a trailer or promotional video to give her a shot, can she erase the names of our three institutions like chalk words and replace them with three words of the Welfare Department? Of course not, we can subtitle at the end of the film, thank the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department and Ms. Chan Fang Anran for their encouragement and support for the filming of this film, as long as we announce the start of filming such a film first, she can't grab us, no matter how you grab it, we are the leader, she wants to shoot the camera, but also depends on whether we give it to her. Huo Dongjun didn't light a cigar, but lit a red ten thousand by himself and said to Lu Zhaotang: "What's more, this female director should understand that she has just taken office now, and the most important thing is not to show her face in front of the people, but to sort out internal relations, she has been engaged in superficial democracy recently, and there are also some people who are dissatisfied with her in the government, she will not be too ugly to look at us now, because there are people staring at her next to her." ”

Lu Zhaotang's eyes lit up, he had been worried about Chen Fang Anran's strength just now, but he forgot that someone in the government was at odds with her: "Yes, I think a little too much, okay, I will call Zhuang Li Wanru, and then find someone to notify various media to spread the news, and talk about the You Kam Tong Charity Foundation to invest 4 million to shoot a film to commemorate the fire of Xingwang Building in Yuen Long, and all the box office revenue will be used for charity." ”

"Speaking of the trailer, I thought that we should make a song to come out, so that we can promote it during the filming of the movie, the song can be played on the radio and TV, and the trailer can be played on TV and movies, as long as there is a radio and TV, you can hear the news of this movie, and then Uncle Tang is interested in putting a name on the list of songwriters?"

"You do it with your heart. Lu Zhaotang patted Huo Dongjun's shoulder and said slowly with a smile.

This young man deserves to be supported by himself, he knows what he needs, and he also understands what he Lu Zhaotang needs.

......

The next day, the Hong Kong media reported that the Yau Kam Tong Charitable Foundation's first fund expenditure of more than one million yuan was to make a film about the fire to commemorate the sacrifice of Mr. Yau Kam Tong and the seven victims.

And Huo Dongjun was also arranged by Yuan Bingtai to meet Yuan Bingtai's highly praised director, Fang Yuping, in a restaurant in Stanley.

In addition to Huo Dongjun himself, He Weiju and Yuan Bingtai all followed, He Mingju wanted to tell the director the script, and Yuan Bingtai knew that his boss didn't know much about movies, so he came over to act as a commentator, afraid that Fang Yuping would say some too professional words to embarrass the young Huo Dongjun.

Fang Yuping, who has a pair of glasses and curly hair, feels like a flame wrapped in ice cubes to Huo Dongjun, and when he sits down to say hello, he seems to have an expression that does not understand the change, and his face is cold, but after talking about the movie, it seems to be a different person, and he talks eloquently.

"Fang Sheng should have heard that our Dongyi Media Film Production Department has accepted the investment of the You Jintang Charity Foundation and is preparing to shoot a film about Mr. You Jintang and the fire, and on the issue of the choice of film director, our company agrees with Fang Sheng, thinking that Fang Sheng is the best candidate for the director of this film. Huo Dongjun was very polite to the curly-haired director, not because of the curly hair, but because of this guy's two Academy Award winning experience, with this kind of achievement, of course, it deserves to be more polite and enthusiastic.

"Huo Sheng is too polite, don't hide it from Huo Sheng, when Manager Yuan called me, I was also very happy to do something for the people who left us in the fire, especially Mr. You Jintang, it is really touching, I have no other work at hand recently, if the script and investment are in place, I am very willing to shoot this movie for free, because I heard Manager Yuan say that Dongyi does not plan to rely on the movie to make money this time, but will continue to donate the income to the You Jintang Charity Foundation. Fang Yuping pushed his glasses and said sincerely to Huo Dongjun, who was sitting opposite.

This made Huo Dongjun's favor with Fang Yuping rise a little, shooting for free, and being such a famous director, the most important thing is to save some money, Lu Zhaotang said to the outside world that he would invest three million to shoot a movie for Dongyi Film, but in fact, he did receive three million that day, but one million was transferred out in the afternoon, and only two million remained, as for the whereabouts of the million, Lu Zhaotang did not mention it, and Huo Dongjun did not plan to ask, tacitly.

"Fang Sheng is really, really a kind-hearted person, but of course it's not good to be free, you are a director, you rely on this job to make money, and after taking this film, you may have no other income for a while, so the salary must be calculated, even if you are kind, you must first ensure that you will not go hungry. Huo Dongjun said with a smile, and Yuan Bingtai next to him also said that Fang Yuping did not need to shoot for free.

"Only send kindness and don't do good deeds, if kindness is not there, we might as well talk about the script, as for the salary, no matter how much Huo Sheng you give, help me donate to the charity foundation, in fact, I admire Huo Sheng more, he is young and not only has a successful career, but also cares more about charity, Hong Kong should have more bosses like Huo Sheng, and make more charity movies that pay attention to the people. Fang Yuping obviously doesn't want to be entangled in terms of salary, he is a director trained by Yindu Institution, originally after the filming of the last film "Half of the People" was ready to take a year off, but I heard that there was a charity movie to be made, Fang Yuping felt that he should do his best for charity, so he gave up the principle of one film in the previous two years and came out to see Huo Dongjun.

Fang Yuping's attitude made Huo Dongjun admire, but he was a little dissatisfied with his words, more bosses like himself, make more charity movies, if it weren't for Lu Zhaotang asking him to donate money, he wouldn't have thought of making a movie, but it seems that the gimmick of making a charity movie by himself is still very effective, at least the director opposite has a good impression of him, which is a good start.

He Weiju took out the bag containing the script from his briefcase and handed it to Fang Yuping: "Fang Sheng, this is the script I rushed out in two days, please give me more guidance, this is just a big framework, if Fang Sheng feels that the direction of the script is not a problem, we can discuss and fill in other content together." ”

Fang Yuping first wiped his fingers with a tissue, then took the text bag and took out the script, and read it page by page, Huo Dongjun saw He Yuju's face was nervous, his eyes stared at the few pieces of paper in Fang Yuping's hand without blinking, and he wanted to laugh, even if he wrote the script, Huo Dongjun saw his face, and he kept telling him if he was looking for someone to write it.

But after ten minutes, Fang Yuping put down the script, spit out a sigh and smiled apologetically at He Weiju: "Screenwriter He, this movie is a charity movie, not a fashion film, the fire written in your script is not a disaster, but a feast, all the plots in the early stage are to wait for the fire to break out, which makes the audience feel that the first feeling of seeing the fire is not sadness, but enjoyment, just like thirst, thirsty all the time, and finally waited for a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, very comfortable, but this is not our original intention of shooting charity movies." ”

Huo Dongjun and the three of them didn't say anything, obviously Fang Yuping has his opinion on this movie, and combined with the table just now, this director Fang must talk eloquently, sure enough, Fang Yuping took a sip of tea and said:

"We should use a movie to explore why this tragedy happened, why we will wait for heroes to sacrifice before we pay attention to the problem of children being locked in by their families, why their parents lock them up, these are the things that our charity movie wants to express, it should not be to make the audience feel wow, the fire scene is very grand, or the protagonist is very manly when he sacrifices, but let every audience after watching this movie, they can have some understanding, that is, why this movie appears on the screen, it should make us feel pain, sadness, sadness, and tears, not because we feel that the picture is great after watching it, excellent acting or amazing special effects, reflection and remembering, is the original intention of this charity movie. ”

Huo Dongjun closed his eyes and exhaled softly, no wonder this director Fang himself has never heard of it, according to this director's thinking, it is definitely in line with the award-winning style of literary films, but the audience will ignore it.

It's just that Lu Zhaotang and his original intention of investing in filming this movie is really so beautiful as Fang Yuping imagined?
