"In the past decade, the mainstream of Hong Kong film market is art films, kung fu films and comedy films. Ghost films have been almost forgotten. This time, "People Scary" created by Hong Jingbao, which combines kung fu and ghost elements, is released suddenly, which really refreshes the author. The film draws on traditional Chinese ghost culture and incorporates many popular elements such as Taoism, ghosts, kung fu, and funny. Coupled with the first-class martial arts action design of the Hong family class, the characters in the play are full of life and vitality, and have a strong entertainment.

However, although the plot of this film is seamless, it feels like the beginning and the last scene of the film are independent of the main line of the whole film. Although it enhances the entertainment, it makes the previous story about conspiracy and human nature lack arms and legs, and the character cannot withstand scrutiny. It is a pity."

Li Xuan shook his head and looked at the Ming Pao Morning Post in his hand. It was not in vain to invite a reporter to watch a movie. The film reviews were one after another, and the effect was much more useful than hanging a large poster at the entrance of the cinema.

After folding the newspaper in his hand and putting it on the table, Li Xuan picked up the spoon on the table, scooped up a shrimp dumpling and ate it.

Well! The taste is good, the mouth smells good, you need to eat more later to replenish your energy. I was tired for a day yesterday, but my waist is still sore now.

Li Xuan is now drinking morning tea in a teahouse in Tsim Sha Tsui. This is the place he made an appointment with Liu Tuwei, but Li Xuan seems to have come too early.

"A Xuan!"

As soon as Li Xuan got rid of the third shrimp dumpling, he heard Liu Chuwei's shouting. When he looked up, Li Xuan saw Liu Chuwei walking towards him with a briefcase and another strange man.

"Tu Wei, here you are here." Li Xuan quickly greeted him.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Liu Chuwei bowed and took the man down.

"What's it late? I'm obviously early." Li Xuan waved his hand indifferently, looked at the strange man and asked, "What's this?"

"Oh, I'll introduce it to you." Liu Tuwei pointed to the strange man and said, "My friend Huang Ying is the gold medal screenwriter of Lishi."

Li Xuan was stunned. Lishi's gold medal screenwriter? How could he get along with Jiahe's photographer?

"Uh, hello, Mr. Huang." Li Xuan nodded in a daze and greeted him.

"Haha, Mr. Li may not know me, but I am also one of the screenwriters of "Kunlun"," Huang Ying said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly realized that he stood up from his seat, lifted the teapot and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I've never paid much attention to TV. However, this is fate. Drink tea and tea, and the freshly brewed oolong tea."

He hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and Li Xuan sat down and said, "What are you eating?"

"No, we've eaten it long ago." Liu Tuwei shook his hand and refused.

"Uh..." Li Xuan asked in confusion: "What's the matter with me, Shi Wei?"

Liu Chuwei and Huang Ying looked at each other, as if they had made up some decision and took out a thick notebook from their briefcase.

"We have an idea, and we have written a script. If A Xuan has free money, I want to find A Xuan to invest." Liu Chuwei said and put the script in front of Li Xuan.

What? Yesterday I thought that someone who was not satisfied with talent came to me with a script, but someone came today?

Li Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, picked up the script.

Four big words are written on the cover - "Mr. Zombie"

"Ahem—"

Li Xuan coughed violently.

"Axuan, are you okay?" Liu Tuwei asked with concern.

Li Xuan quickly waved his hand and said calmly: "It's okay!"

God testified, how could there be "Mr. Zombie" now? Even if Li Xuan can't remember anything, he still knows that it was a film that only appeared in the 1980s.

Could it be that one of these two people traveled through time? Or did these two people wear it together?

Li Xuan decided to give it a try, so he pretended to be careless and said softly: "Midnight Bell."

"What's the midnight? The evil spirit?" Liu Tuwei frowned: "Axuan, what did you say?" Huang Ying next to him also looked inexplicably.

Well, these two guys don’t seem to be traveling through time. Li Xuan pressed the question in his heart and replied: “I mean when I saw the name of your script, I don’t know why I thought of the midnight bell.”

"No, we are a comedy, almost like "Scared People"." Liu Tuwei said in confusion.

"Haha, it's all my fault that I'm thinking too much. If you have tea, I'll read the script first." Li Xuan changed the subject awkwardly.

It's similar to what I thought. The script writes a story about a Taoist priest taking two apprentices to eliminate zombies. Especially in it there is a scene where you use glutinous rice to remove corpses and poisons for your apprentices. The funny scene in Li Xuan's memory is exactly the same.

This is really the later "Mr. Zombie". Why is the butterfly effect so powerful?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xuan asked, "How did you come up with such a script?"

"What's wrong?" Liu Tuwei asked in confusion: "Is the script not working?"

"Ah, no, no, the script is very good." Li Xuan quickly introduced: "I'm just curious about how you chose zombie movies."

These days, zombie films are a taboo in Hong Kong film industry.

Everything comes from a zombie film "Seven Gold Corpse" that Shaw Brothers first invested in and filmed in 1974.

This is a film that combines the Western vampire story with the Chinese legend of "Xiangxi corpse driving away" and is also a film with a weird plot.

The video brings together the vampire Dracula, Van Helsing and Chinese zombies, and tells a story of a combination of local and foreign countries, neither Western nor Chinese.

As a result, Shaw Brothers made a big promotion back then, but because there were too many mixed things in the film, the audience could not accept it, resulting in a box office defeat. Later, no film company in the Hong Kong film industry dared to touch the zombie theme again.

"Uh..." Liu Tuwei probably knew that zombie films are difficult to shoot now. After thinking about it, he said: "Because my uncle is the Maoshan master. When I was a child, I heard a lot of stories about Maoshan spells. When I was filming "Human Scary" some time ago, I felt that this theme was very interesting, so I wanted to make a different ghost film by myself, so I thought of zombies. Finally, I found Aying and made this script together."

Sweat! Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he still had the butterfly effect he created.

"Well, I'm very curious, why don't you go directly to Boss Zou?" Li Xuan frowned and asked.

"Don't mention it!" Before this question came to Liu Chuwei, he said angrily: "Boss Zou is now fully promoting Chenglong and has just finished the lawsuit. Don't you want Chenglong to disappear in Hong Kong to reduce the adverse effects of the lawsuit? I just want to help him enter the US market. I heard that it will cost tens of millions of dollars this time. Now that many movie plans of Jiahe Company have been cancelled, it is even more impossible for me, a new director, to make a movie."

"Don't Brother Sanmao plan to invest in the filming? There must be a lot of people from the Hong family class here." Li Xuan asked afterwards.

"Well, Brother Sanmao wants to invest in the film, but..."

Li Xuan looked at Liu Tuwei and asked, "But what?"

"But the budget is a bit too much, Brother Sanmao dare not invest."

"Uh..." Li Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Well, what is your budget?"

Liu Tuwei looked at Li Xuan and whispered, "Three million and five million Hong Kong dollars."

"How many?" Li Xuan widened his eyes, looking disbelief.

"Hong Kong dollars of 3.5 million..." Liu Chuwei repeated again: "The main reason is that there are too many special types needed."

Damn! Li Xuan spat inwardly, no wonder Hong Jingbao didn't dare to invest and pushed people to himself. Based on this investment, at least the movies had to be nine million in the box office in Hong Kong to recover their costs.

But what is the highest box office in Hong Kong now? It was "Half a Tight" in 1976, with a box office of only 8.53 million.

Especially this type of movie is the easiest zombie film that kills investment companies. No wonder no one dares to quit.

Li Xuan was confused. As the pinnacle of the spiritual fantasy kung fu film, Li Xuan knew that the movie was well-known and called "Sitting". But now it has been filmed several years in advance. Will there be any problem? Should I take this movie in my hands?

On one hand, there is 3.5 million yuan, and on the other hand, it is possible to make a big profit. The entangled Li Xuan gritted his teeth!
