Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 181
According to the original plan, Chen Qiming's new album is going to be based on Mandarin songs, and will be released together with several songs in different languages ​​in various regions and countries.

But now, Warner Records thinks that doing so will lower sales, so Chen Qiming can only follow his will and separate the albums in each language.

Since English, Japanese, and Korean need to be published separately, Chen Qiming's workload at this stage is naturally much less.

He is currently focusing on Mandarin records.

In the next few days, he continued to record songs, including "The Moon's Trouble", "Sad Pacific", and "Moonlight".

Time came to March.

On March [-], Chen Qiming flew to Hong Kong.

He will be in Hong Kong for about a week next.

This trip serves two purposes.

One, Liu Weiqiang agreed to come and shoot "The Wind and Cloud" for Qiming Film and Television, but Wong Kar Wai hoped to have an interview with Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming felt that maybe Wong Kar Wai wanted to negotiate terms with him on the grounds of letting Lau Wai Keung make a movie for him.

Chen Qiming didn't feel wrong about this.

This is the case in the entertainment industry, everything is an exchange of interests.

Unless they are very good friends, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to ask others to give up something for no reason.

The second thing is the planning of the play "Fengyun".

Now that Liu Weiqiang will be the director, this project can also be formally approved.

How much money to invest and which actors to hire all need to be prepared in advance.

Especially the actors.

"Feng Yun" is a comic with many characters. Although the characters have been reduced after it was changed into a movie, there are still quite a lot of important characters in it.

Of the two protagonists, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, Chen Qiming himself can act as one of them.

But the other one needs to be chosen carefully.

After all, Feng Yun and Feng Yun have equal roles in the roles. With Chen Qiming, the film king and Asian superstar, the other role must not be inferior in popularity and fame.

Otherwise, it would be easy to turn this drama into a one-man show by Chen Qiming alone.

In addition to the other protagonist in Fengyun, several female characters in the movie, as well as Xiong Ba, Qin Shuang and other characters, all need to be investigated.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Chen Qiming first went to meet Lau Wai Keung and Wong Kar Wai.

oh!Besides these two, there was also Liu Zhenwei.

The two parties made an appointment in a tea restaurant.

【I don't need to say whether it is right or wrong】

【Whether it's resentment or love, don't need to reveal it】

【What is more important than the needs of two hearts】

【How can tenderness be missing】

A burst of music came from opposite the tea restaurant.

It is "Can't Say Goodbye" by Alan Tam.

Although Alan Tam no longer accepts awards, in the past few years, he has released records every year.

Each album sold very well.

Among them, once "Dream Smile" was released in January, "Can't Say Goodbye" and "Goodbye Are Tears" quickly became popular in Hong Kong.

"You mean, if Mr. Liu Weiqiang comes to film "Feng Yun" for me, I will come and play the leading role in your film?"

On the second floor of the tea restaurant, after listening to what Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei said, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning and asked.

"No, we're not swapping, we mean wanting you to be in the movie!"

Liu Zhenwei corrected.

After a pause, he pointed to Wang Jiawei and said to Chen Qiming: "You know what he is capable of. Our movie may not make your box office hit, but we are very confident in the awards."

Chen Qiming nodded.

For this, he believed it.

After all, as a product of the manufacturer of the pit.

The films of Wong Kar Wai may not get a high box office, but in terms of winning awards, this is really nothing to exaggerate.

As for the box office, Chen Qiming is not too persistent.

To win the box office, he just chooses those commercial films to act in.

It's an award.

To be honest, if he cooperates with a commercial director, he really might not have the chance to win Best Actor again.

However, Chen Qiming was also hesitant about Wong Kar Wai's filming speed.

This guy's reputation is far and wide, and he is famous for thinking about shooting a little bit.

Chen Qiming was very afraid that he would be trapped in this pit.

If he couldn't take pictures all the time, wouldn't he have to wait every day?

So, he directly asked Wong Kar Wai, "May I ask, how long will this movie take?"

As he said that, he spread his hands, "If I take over your film, I will definitely run at both ends, filming your film and "Feng Yun" at the same time.

So, I don't want to take too long to shoot! "

Hearing this, Liu Zhenwei next to him couldn't help but twitched his mouth and glanced at Wang Jiawei.

Wong Kar Wai likes to procrastinate when filming, almost everyone knows it now.

Especially "Evil, West, Poison" in 92.

The film was shot directly for more than a year, which not only delayed the investors, but also delayed the actors.

Now, when Wong Kar Wai is looking for actors to film, the first thing many people do is ask how long the filming will take.

"How much free time do you have?"

Wang Jiawei touched the sunglasses he was still wearing and asked.

"Two months, I only have two months at most.

If it exceeds this time, I hope the crew will let me go! "

Chen Qiming said.

Hearing this, Wang Jiawei pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, just two months!"

Liu Zhenwei next to him heard the words, his eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but kicked Wang Jiawei from under the table.

Two months of shooting time.

If someone else said this, Liu Zhenwei would definitely believe it.

But Wong Kar Wai, he didn't believe it at all.

He knows this guy too well.

When filming "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", because he was procrastinating and couldn't produce anything, the investors on Baodao threatened to kill him.

In the end, he went out on his own and pulled a large number of actors from the crew of "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" to prepare a "East and West" to rescue him, which saved him from being cut.

This guy is now doing this again, which makes Liu Zhenwei want to beat him up.

"OK! That's fine!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled.

Anyway, he has already agreed in advance, if the filming cannot be finished in two months, he can't be blamed for leaving.

After a pause, he asked, "Can you tell me about the script? What role should I play?"

Wang Jiawei blew on the tea in front of him, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "The story takes place in Chungking Mansions. Your role is... the policeman! You play the policeman!"

Chen Qiming: "..."

He was speechless.

From Wang Jiawei's words, he clearly felt that this guy might not have prepared the script yet.

Even, the policeman he was asked to play might have been something he thought of just now.

Glancing at Liu Zhenwei, Chen Qiming sympathized with him.

With such a good friend at the booth, Liu Zhenwei has taken on a lot!
Last time in "Evil, West Poison", Chen Qiming even heard that several filmmakers on the island were very angry.

Even the swordsmen are ready, if Wong Kar Wai fails to turn in the film on time, they will send someone to Hong Kong to kill him.

It seems that Liu Zhenwei took the responsibility for this matter.

It's no wonder that Liu Zhenwei became bald early, and I'm afraid he was worried about Wang Jiawei's affairs.

However, this has nothing to do with him, Chen Qiming.

He acted as soon as he got paid.

It's not a movie I invested in, and whether the movie is successful or not has nothing to do with me.

The big deal is that after success, I may win an award for this play.

If it is not successful, to be honest, it will not affect him much.

Since Wang Jiawei hadn't come up with the script yet, Chen Qiming didn't raise this question any more. After chatting with a few people for a while, he went straight back to Qiming Film and Television.

It was different from the last time it invested in "New Love", when Qiming Film and Television was the only investor, and Er Dongsheng's company was the producer.

But this time "Fengyun" is different, this time, the investment and production will be completed by Qiming Film and Television.

Therefore, in order to make the movie successful, Chen Qiming expanded Qiming Film and Television.

It was officially registered as a film and television production company.

As soon as he returned to Qiming Film and Television, Chen Qiming immediately arranged for people to start forming the crew of "Fengyun".

In addition, he also began to invite some actors to audition according to the information in the dream.

Chen Qiming finally decided to play the role of Bu Jingyun himself.

Therefore, another protagonist, Nie Feng, needs to be studied.

Chen Qiming first thought of Andy Lau.

Although this guy is not as handsome as himself, he is not bad in popularity.

If he joins in, the two of them will combine their swords, and the blessings to the film will definitely be enormous.

However, after Chen Qiming called Andy Lau, he learned that his schedule for May and June had already expired.

He has reached an agreement with China Star to star in "Chariots of Fire" produced and produced by China Star, with Er Dongsheng as the director.

Well, Chen Qiming has an impression of this drama.

At the Golden Horse Awards banquet some time ago, Boss Xiang approached him. At that time, Boss Xiang was going to let him act in this movie, but Chen Qiming refused because he was too busy.

Later, after some selection, Andy Lau was finally chosen as the leading actor.

Andy Lau couldn't act, Chen Qiming naturally couldn't force it.

He can only focus on other people.

In the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan region, there are only a few people who can act as a dual hero with him.

In the end, after choosing between Liming and Aaron Kwok, Chen Qiming decided to invite Liming to play the role of Nie Feng.

Not to mention, the roles of Liming and Nie Feng really fit well.

Nie Feng, nicknamed Fengshen, has a refined and easy-going personality.

This is really similar to Dawn.

On March [-]th, Chen Qiming invited Liming to have a meal, and then he took the initiative to invite him.

After Li Ming briefly read the script, he agreed.

In this way, the two male protagonists have been confirmed.

The other characters, Chen Qiming, did not personally intervene, but handed it over to the senior management of Qiming Film and Television, and handed it over to them to solve.

Oh, Xu Shujuan's role has also been confirmed.

Now that he has decided to give her a role, Chen Qiming will naturally not break his promise.

In the end, the role of Chuchu was given to her to play.

However, the drama "Feng Yun" is still in the planning stage, and it will take some time if it is really going to be filmed.

During the period from March to April, the main tasks of the crew were to set up locations and contact special effects companies.

There will be a lot of special effects in this film, and the company in Hong Kong will definitely not be able to complete it, so Chen Qiming can only ask people to contact special effects companies in Europe and the United States.

After some operations, Chen Qiming couldn't help being dumbfounded looking at the investment budget calculated by the company.
