Chapter 326 Two good friends
"Do you want to make a club movie with realistic significance and take the literary route?" Xiang Huaqiang asked quietly.
"Realistic theme?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and then smiled: "Brother Qiang, you misunderstood. I am not interested in movies with realistic themes. That thing is not very profitable."
"That's...?"
Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Heroes are everywhere, why do we have to take special photos of those bosses?"
"I seem to understand what you mean. You want to build a civilian hero." Xiang Huaqiang replied suddenly.
Li Xuan nodded without hesitation and responded: "Yes!"
"Then why can't the filming start immediately? Uh, no, right..." Xiang Huaqiang paused and pondered: "You have a new drama in the first half of the year, so can't the filming start in the second half of the year? Why do you have to wait until after the Sino-British negotiations?"
Li Xuan smiled and replied, "Now is the critical moment of negotiations. Brother Qiang, do you think the Hong Kong government wants to see that there are only two big guys fighting around in the movie we made, or is it that Hong Kong divided into several clubs and thousands of people fighting around?"
“…”
After hearing Li Xuan's explanation, Xiang Huaqiang was speechless. Before the Sino-British negotiations, the Hong Kong government directly found out that they were attacked by New Yian, and then it was the other gangs. At this critical moment, New Yian and the Hong Kong government caused trouble. Wouldn't that be directly seeking death?
However, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly noticed a word in Li Xuan's words.
"Thousands of people?" Xiang Huaqiang asked hesitated.
"Uh..." What was this guy thinking? Li Xuan nodded and responded: "Hundreds and thousands, it will be true to the photo shoot, but then we will have to rely on Brother Qiang to help find someone."
"Haha, no problem, this is all for everyone." Xiang Huaqiang laughed, patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said, "I'm looking forward to this movie after hearing what you said. Alas, I don't know when the Sino-British negotiations will be over and what will Hong Kong eventually become."
Li Xuan also fell silent, and after a while, he murmured: "Is the negotiation? It should be almost over."
Repeated negotiations between China and the UK have begun to emerge, and more and more people are beginning to realize that the return of Hong Kong is imperative, and even many British people think this is the case. So now many people want to know what Hong Kong's future policies will be like, and even the negotiations between China and the UK are concentrated in this aspect.
However, Li Xuan knew that Britain could not be able to meet that strong old man. After the Sino-British negotiations, the day for the Hong Kong government to allow Hong Kong's social security to develop itself is coming.
After Li Xuan and Xiang Huaqiang talked casually, they said goodbye and left. But what is quite interesting is that almost everyone now knows Xiang Huaqiang's origin, so there are very few people coming to say hello to him. I am afraid that this boss will be unhappy and will implicate his film company.
The people who were away from Xiang Huaqiang were Liu Zhenwei and his party.
"Mr. Li, congratulations, congratulations to the great success of "God of Gamblers"!" Liu Zhenwei was the only person who did not raise his glass when talking to Li Xuan, but bowed his hands very much.
"Haha, a big movie is nothing." Li Xuan still held his wine glass, but lowered it a little, and continued to smile: "To do theaters, you have to sell all the movies well. In this regard, I have to thank you Century Pictures."
Liu Zhenwei smiled bitterly without a trace and said, "Where is where, Mr. Li is serious. It is also our honor to be able to release our movie on Wanda."
Century Pictures took two movies, "Big Brothers" and "The Disaster" to Wanda for trial at the beginning of the year, which is definitely a great thing for Li Xuan, who is actively expanding the source of the film. However, these two movies look very average, and whether they make or lose money, they have to be officially released to see God's will.
Li Xuan naturally didn't know that Century Pictures has lost money in the past two years because it released several films that lost money in a row, and now its funds are a bit underpaid.
"Is this..." Li Xuan asked at a strong young man next to Liu Zhenwei.
"Oh, look at me, I forgot to introduce it to you." Liu Zhenwei patted his forehead and pulled the person next to him and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know him, but he must have heard of his name. He is my partner and right-hand man - Yu Yunkang."
Li Xuan suddenly realized and quickly stretched out his right hand and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Yu, I'm so respectful! I like your "Battle List" very much."
"Haha, Mr. Li has been awarded too." Yu Yunkang smiled and replied: "I like Mr. Li's representative work "Grudges", too."
Forehead……
"Curse"? Li Xuan was sweating all over his head after hearing this. How long ago did this movie happen? Even he almost forgot about it. Unexpectedly, someone has brought it up now.
When later generations talk about Liu Zhenwei's good friends, everyone's first impression is Wang Jiawei. What are the two of them who compiled the script of "The Ghost Hall" in one night? What are Wang Jiawei's filming "East Evil and West Poison" Taimoji La Liu Zhenwei saved the scene and filming "East Earning and West Poison"? What...
In short, there are countless anecdotes between these two gay friends.
However, at this time Liu Zhenwei didn't know Wang Jiawei. As for whether the two of them will become good friends in the future, only God knows. Anyway, Liu Zhenwei's good friend at this time was the young man named Yu Yunkang in front of Li Xuan.
Yu Yunkang, a famous director in the early "New Wave" film period in Hong Kong, once influenced the Hong Kong wave with Xu Anhua, Yan Hao and Xu Ke during the Hong Kong New Wave film period, and was known for shooting horror and thriller movies. The "Black List" mentioned by Li Xuan is one of his representative works. This movie was once hailed as the most terrifying horror film in Hong Kong in later generations.
However, in the past two years, Hong Kong New Wave directors have been depressed. Xu Anhua has made such a movie in a year. Xu Ke has transformed into making commercial films and Yan Hao has started dramas. So now Yu Yunkang has hardly done much work as a director, and has become a film producer and producer with Liu Zhenwei. In the past two years, almost all the movies of Century Pictures have been the producer and producer of these two guys.
This guy is a talented person.
"It is a great honor to be praised by Mr. Yu in "The Curse"!" Li Xuan nodded gently and replied.
Yu Yunkang quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."
"Haha, Mr. Li is afraid he doesn't know." Liu Zhenwei saw the atmosphere a little cold, and quickly interrupted: "Brother Yu also made a gambling movie before, so there is no need to mention the plot now. But Mr. Li, guess who the male protagonist of that gambling movie is?"
"Oh? The male lead?"
The gambling films that Yu Yunkang had filmed, Li Xuan became interested now. Liu Zhenwei will definitely not make random questions. The male protagonist of this gambling film must be someone who Li Xuan is very familiar with, otherwise this question would be meaningless.
"Gambling movie...the male lead..." Li Xuan frowned and suddenly asked in surprise: "Mr. Liu, you won't tell me that the male lead is Fazi, right?"
"By the way, it's him! Haha--"
Liu Zhenwei laughed and threw out the correct answer, and Li Xuan also felt it was very funny. It turned out that the current god of gambling film had been a long time ago, but judging from Zhou Run's reputation as the poison in the box office in the past, the end of this movie seems to be very bad.
However, Li Xuan was a little interested in this movie.
"Fazi's previous gambling films were still Mr. Yu's works. I didn't know. They failed." Li Xuan shook his head with regret and asked again: "Mr. Yu, don't know what the name of the movie is? I'll go find it to see it."
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Yu Yunkang quickly waved his hand and said, "How dare you show off your ugly face in front of "God of Gambling"? Forget it, forget it."
“…”
Li Xuan was stunned. This guy is still shy now? He is a big director at least.
However, Liu Zhenwei obviously refused to let go of his good friend, and smiled from the side: "Mr. Li, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. You can ask Mr. Ye. That movie was filmed by Binbian at that time. The box office was pretty good. It sold 1.5 million in 1980, but it finally didn't make Boss Ye lose money."
"1.5 million, not low at that time." Li Xuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then I really have to go and ask and see what Mr. Yu calls the so-called 'bad work'."
"Mr. Li——, ah!" Yu Yunkang sighed and said with a wry smile: "That was the first movie I made. The technique is so clumsy. Now it looks like a graffiti of a primary school student, which is annoying. Mr. Li should not watch it, it is not as good as your first work at all."
"Forehead……"
Li Xuan felt quite funny. Can the two be compared? However, he still clenches his face and said, "Since Mr. Yu doesn't want me to see, I'll wait and see first. There will always be the day when Mr. Yu lets go."
"Thank you!" Yu Yunkang also imitated Liu Zhenwei and bowed.
"But, Mr. Yu, can I ask you something?" Li Xuan suddenly frowned.
Yu Yunkang raised his head and replied, "Uh, what's the matter?"
"Well, why have you not been a director in the past few years?" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
