“Hong Kong movies have always had a bad habit of not paying attention to scripts.

In the past, only New Arts City valued scripts. As long as the script was finalized, the director had to follow it and shoot accordingly. Therefore, their films had a complete structure and a very layered feel - of course it has been abandoned now.

Colleagues in the industry have not learned this good habit. They are all happy to be flyers, and they are not ashamed but proud of it.

But what is rare is that the two kung fu actors Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long paid great attention to the script. "Plan A" took more than a year to complete, which really made me look at Cheng Long with admiration. This is the attitude of making movies.

I am lucky enough to have won two Oscars, including one for Best Screenplay.

Now that I have returned with a good reputation, I am happy to exchange information with my colleagues in Xiangjiang. In the past, the friendly price was very cheap, but now it has gone up. One script is 150,000, and you are welcome to pre-order. If you are afraid of things, it doesn’t matter. I can use a pseudonym and no one will know.

It’s my handiwork.”

This article is as cheap as it gets.

Even if everyone is immune to him, they can't help but have their veins popping out and the corners of their mouths twitching. It's too arrogant! It's too arrogant! But even if he won an Oscar, you have to have the capital to be arrogant.

Yuan Heping, Zhuang Cheng and others who are familiar with the inside story are also full of dark clues. They are keen to judge that this guy may one day blow up the pen name "Dongfang Ren".

In fact, if possible, many people would like to hire Chen Qi to direct it. This guy's creative ability is recognized. But 150,000 Hong Kong dollars is too outrageous. How much does a movie cost?

After Chen Qi came back, it seemed that many people were waiting for his actions, but except for this sarcastic article he posted, everything was calm.

He was not in a hurry and did his work in an orderly manner.

…

Clearwater Bay, office.

Zhuang Cheng is very active and has already sent the shooting list.

The director's name is Huang Tailai. He made a few films that were neither popular nor popular. Later he became famous, including "The Mysterious Case of the Three Wolves", "The Unbuttoned Girl", "Sword Laughter" and so on.

The heroine was actually found from Japan, named Yumiko Tadokoro.

In the early 1980s, the Japanese AV industry broke ground because of the advent of video tapes. Video tapes are very private, allow for one-on-one communication, and can bypass ethical censorship in the film industry.

It was very profitable at this time. A box of AV video tapes sold for 7,000-12,000 yen. This stuff was fresh and the Japanese were rich. The sales volume of a slightly better quality one could exceed 10,000 yen, which is 100 million yen.

Yumiko Tadokoro is considered to be the first generation of famous actresses. She is only 19 years old and focuses on the theme of beautiful girls.

Chen Qi looked at the photo and didn't recognize it. It was too old. But she had a very pretty girl's temperament, which was perfect for filming a pitiful character who was downtrodden.

The earliest actresses he knew were Hitomi Shiraishi, Ai Iijima, and Yaya Kozuki. They were all in the 1990s. But it didn't matter, regardless of whether she was pretty or not, she had to be called "Momonogi"!

Maple Love from "Tai Chi", Mio Ishikawa from "The Orphan", Momonogi from "The Forbidden Room". If we continue like this, we will have a chance to gather 108 generals to summon Shenlong.

The male protagonist is a middle-aged white man found by Bob Shea, whom I have never heard of. The salary is only 2,000 US dollars, less than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Young actors are cheap everywhere, but the more expensive ones are other labor and service fees.

Bob Shea will shoot a few minutes of location shooting in the United States, and the expenses will be included in the general ledger, and the rest will be handed over to Chen Qi. The budget is capped at HK$1 million, and the estimated cycle time is 7 days, and the studio will be rented out.

Everyone, including the director, has pseudonyms.

Zhuang Cheng was very thoughtful in his work, and he also set up a shell company to do this job. He had an aura of being targeted by the anti-pornography campaign, both inside and out.

"Oh, I really want to give on-site guidance!"

"But if you can't go, then your secret will be exposed. What a pity!"

No one would have thought that the leftist Mr. Chen, who had just introduced the dashing and handsome Li Saifeng, would actually be instigating such a heart-wrenching film. He doesn't care about it, as long as everything can be used for his own purposes and is beneficial to development.

…………

The Jiang family has been running theaters for decades. Although it has never grown in size, it has steadily accumulated a lot of wealth. For example, they invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars in the Nanguo Theater in Shenzhen, so they can be considered a small fortune.

When the brothers came back, they came to see their father as soon as possible.

My father was a theater manager at first, and then went out to work on his own. He has a lot of experience in the world. After hearing what happened, he did not express his position. Instead, he asked: "How do you think of the movies you brought back?"

"It's just so-so. A few million in box office would be good."

"Looking at the current situation, what are your thoughts on the future development of the theater?"

"..."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Jiang Zhiwen said: "Naturally, we should proceed steadily, open more theaters, and introduce more blockbusters. We have tried production, but it doesn't work. It is better to focus on distribution."

"Moreover, we need to build a multiplex theater. Traditional theaters will become obsolete!" Jiang Zhiqiang added.

"Yes, this is the most suitable route for us. It takes a long time, but it is better than being safe. Or conversely, although it is safe, it takes too long."

"You mean, promise Mr. Chen?" Jiang Zhiwen understood what Dad Pin meant.

"Hong Kong's return is a foregone conclusion. We will not be involved with the rightists when we make Western films. We are pure and clean. If we submit, we will be taken seriously. But not right away!"

"When was that?"

"I always feel that Mr. Chen didn't put forward this opinion for no reason. He should have taken other actions. Let's wait and see what he wants to do."

When the father spoke, the brothers naturally obeyed.

After having a meal, everyone went back to their respective homes. Jiang Zhiqiang had his own place to live. He didn't have much to do. Last year, he failed to introduce "Garfield Goes to Town", so he didn't do any specific work. He usually read books or something.

He felt that there were no cartoons in Hong Kong, so there must be a market for cartoons. It was just that "Garfield Goes to Town" was not adapted to the local environment. He had been studying what kind of movies would be suitable for the country - and then he found Hayao Miyazaki.

Today was a family meeting, and Jiang Zhiqiang was quite touched.

Then Mr. Chen's words can make his family nervous and on the alert. This is not an unfounded fear. The real reason is: Although the Jiang family has connections in Hollywood, Chen Qi wants to steal their film sources and win them every minute!

That's why they are afraid.

…………

In this calm and subtle atmosphere, it soon arrived in mid-April.

Early that morning, Zhuang Cheng, Yu Rentai, Lin Zhengying, Li Lizhen and others gathered at the Jiahe Studio on Ax Mountain Road.

He Guanchang received the reception and said with a smile: ""Mr. Zombie" will be released tomorrow. The leftists like to have the main creators go to the scene to promote the premiere. We have tried it a few times and the effect is indeed good. I'm calling everyone here today to discuss how to arrange it."

"It's easy to say, I have prepared a plan."

Zhuang Cheng will naturally handle this matter.

In "Mr. Zombie", Xu Guanying is the most famous, Li Lizhen also has a certain popularity with "Happy Ghost", Lin Zhengying is about the same, and then disappears. Naturally, we have to use these three people as the core for the promotion strategy.

"..."

Li Lizhen didn't understand very well and was too lazy to listen. She only muttered one thing.

She has always been resentful about being kicked out of the left wing. The success of "Xin Zha Junior Sister" made her even more angry, and she hoped that "Mr. Zombie" would be a big hit, surpassing Li Saifeng and Qiu Shuzhen.

Let that man named Chen regret it!
