Chapter 89 Fighting again

No matter how bleak the preview of "The King of Thousand Kings" was, the movie was released as scheduled.

Fortunately, "Alien" has been screened in Hong Kong for half a month, and its popularity is gradually fading. "King of Thousand Kings" was released in ten theaters in Jiahe. Its first week's box office was 1.37 million, with an average attendance rate of nearly 70%. The number of viewers is gradually increasing, and the results are pretty good. Jiahe has already planned to increase the screening theaters and episodes, and Li Xuan estimates that this movie should not be a problem to recover the capital in Hong Kong.

However, Li Xuan and Wang Jin could no longer control this. Just one week after "The King of Thousand Kings" was released, "The King of Killers" was completed. This film full of Li Xuan's photography concept in the later generations took the crew for 40 days alone. After the filming, Wang Jin, who was used to filming at a fast pace, felt very uncomfortable. If Li Xuan hadn't been suppressing it, he would have been shooting randomly.

After the movie is finished, you have to start doing the late stage. Although there are scene notes and scripts, Li Xuan is not at ease to let the current editors cut it, so he and Wang Jin personally took the stage.

In the editing room of a post-production center on Jiahe set, Li Xuan was cutting with a roll of printed film, while Wang Jin was checking with a script next to him.

"I think it's better if you cut Yutian's window-leaving scene and divide it into two sections, and add the flash shot of the minions behind it." Wang Jin thought for a moment, handed over a roll of cut film and said to Li Xuan.

Taking the film from Wang Jin's hand, Li Xuan looked at it, constructed a camera in his mind, and then nodded and replied: "It's true, this makes the plot much more compact. You can do it, fat man."

"What's OK? The director is doing this job. You must be familiar with this job." Wang Jin nodded and replied casually.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Jin strangely. This guy was in a bad state today. In the past, as long as he praised him, he would always keep his tail rising to the sky. Why did he look listless today?

"Fatty." Li Xuan called out casually.

"Um?"

Li Xuan pretended to shook his head and said in a tone of an experienced person: "Young man, you still have to pay attention to your health. Don't exercise too late at night. Even if you can bear it, your brother and sister can't bear it."

"Bah! What a mess, your thoughts are so dirty!" Wang Jin replied angrily.

"Tsk tsk!" Li Xuan smacked his lips: "What do you mean by my dirty thoughts? You look so weak today. Everyone knows what you did last night."

Wang Jin suddenly imitated Li Xuan's appearance and covered his forehead, and said helplessly: "What could I do last night? The little girl didn't fall asleep until two in the morning. I didn't have time to take a break."

"Oh, it turns out that I misunderstood. I'm sorry!" Li Xuan quickly waved his hand and replied. This baby is the most troublesome person, no wonder Wang Jin is like this today.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with the little girl..." Wang Jin sighed again and said.

"Uh..." Li Xuan's eyelids twitched and asked gossip: "Can I understand what you mean by saying, after you coaxed your daughter to sleep at 2 o'clock last night, you went to mess with your wife."

"Get out!" Wang Jin spat at Li Xuan and said viciously: "You can't be purer. Why do you always think about these messy aspects!"

"Okay, you have purified me, so I asked curiously, what happened?" Li Xuan asked helplessly.

"It's not because of my dad's business, it's annoying!"

"Uncle Wang?" Li Xuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Uncle Wang? Isn't "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" a while ago very popular?"

"It's very popular, but my dad is still sitting on the bench now." Wang Jin paused, frowned and continued: "Now, Wireless has not arranged any work for him."

“…”

Li Xuan patted Wang Jin on the shoulder, but couldn't say anything. "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was really popular some time ago, so popular that Wu Mengda, an unknown supporting actor, became famous and took on many supporting actors in the movies outside. But Wang Tianlin is still on the bench now, and it is very likely that he was implicated by Wang Jin.

Fang Yihua is not a grand woman. In addition to being a TVB producer, she is also a director of Shaw Brothers. Shao Yifu's focus is still on the movies, and everything about TVB is left to Fang Yihua. Wang Jin confessed that Shaw Brothers, and she had no choice but to hide Wang Tianlin.

Poor Wang Tianlin is only in his fifties, which is the golden age for a director. At this time, he is at home and will probably not have any good looks all day long.

"What will Uncle Wang do? Or do you go to Shaw Brothers directly?" Li Xuan asked curiously. Although Fatty Wang has always been under the brand of Li Xuan's company in name, the two have never signed a contract, and Li Xuan has not paid him a salary. He is a non-staff member who can leave at any time.

"How could I go to Shaw Brothers? Shooting a movie outside is enough for my salary for half a year at Shaw Brothers." Wang Jin retorted with his eyes wide open.

"Uh..." Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked helplessly: "What will Uncle Wang do?"

"My dad is fiddling with a script and told me that he wants to make a movie." Wang Jin replied with a sad face.

"Ahem!"

Li Xuan coughed dryly, and asked with a blushing face for a while, "Uncle Wang wants to make a movie again?"

Wang Tianlin's floppy fucked, how long has it been in the last movie? He is ready to fight again...

"Yes." Wang Jin nodded, looked at Li Xuan condescendingly and said, "Since my dad plans to make a movie, should your half-apprentice support me?"

Depend on!

Li Xuan was worried. Wang Jin was digging a hole and waiting for him to dance. He had never heard of any good movies Wang Tianlin directed in the 1980s. This movie was probably similar to the last movie "The Big Fight". Investing in a movie that will make it 90% of the time will make it a frustrating one.

But Li Xuan can't do it without jumping into the pit. Wang Tianlin is his master after all. In the Hong Kong film and television industry these days, the relationship between master and apprentice is still very important. Just like Hu Jinquan, who is troubled now, although his house is gone, with the help of several apprentices, he still lives a good life. He dare not leave the name of ungratefulness. Not to mention that since Li Xuan entered this industry, Wang Tianlin has been good to him and has helped him a lot. Now he cannot ignore it.

"Let's do it..." Li Xuan paused and said with a bitter look on his face: "I'll cover it within 500,000."

"It's only 500,000?" Wang Jin called out exaggeratedly.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Jin and said contemptuously: "It's only 500,000? Do you want me to lend you 500,000? You can tell Uncle Wang that his son also invested 500,000 yuan and raised one million yuan to film for you for your father?"

"No, no, 500,000 is enough! It's enough!" Wang Jin waved his hand and refused. Wang Jin also knew what his father looked like. Li Xuan's 500,000 was an investment, and he had nothing to say when he lost money. But if he borrowed another 500,000, he would lose money, and the movie would be lost and Wang Jin would have no place to cry.

Li Xuan shook his head and continued, "If your father could make you an assistant director, I should be able to invest more, at least a 70% chance of recovering the capital, but I think Uncle Wang must have no plans to let you participate, right?"

"Yes!" Wang Jin nodded helplessly.

This situation is certain. Wang Jin is now a famous movie director. Wang Tianlin must consider these before filming. If Wang Jin is involved, if the movie is sold well, some people will say that it is a box office sold by his son. Or if the movie fails, it will have a bad impact on his son's reputation. It is better not to let Wang Jin participate in the beginning. It has nothing to do with him whether he makes a profit or loses.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, hurry up and cut the film. I have to make up for my 500,000 as soon as possible." Li Xuan sat up straight, picked up the film on the table and said.

Wang Jin, who was standing beside him, nodded and suddenly asked, "This movie can't be released after the New Year, right?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan clicked and replied: "It was all full before the New Year. Not only this one, but also the "Mr. Zombie" that Shi Wei has to go after the New Year."

"Don't you have to wait for nearly three months?" Wang Jin asked in surprise.

"yes."

Li Xuan nodded helplessly. It is too difficult to schedule a good schedule for independent companies' movies.

"The later stage of this movie takes less than a month, so what do you do for the remaining two months?"
