Movie tycoon

Chapter 208 Pirate King (Part [-])
It is said that just as Chen Xiaotang left Shao Daheng's CEO's office, he was told that someone outside the company was looking for him.

Chen Xiaotang was skeptical. During this period of time, newspapers and magazines wrote about him in hype, both good and bad. Who would look for him in such a sensitive period?
When he went out to see, he was stunned, but it turned out to be Tan Yonglin, the big singer he had intended to befriend before.

It was still the well-equipped nanny car, and Tan Yonglin was in the car, waiting for Chen Xiaotang to get into the car.

Tan Yonglin's first sentence was: "A Tang, it's hard for you to hide it from me!"

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help laughing: "How do you say that?"

"You can sing such a great song yourself, but why hide your clumsiness in front of me?"

"Hehe, Allen, if I tell you that I only learned to sing, would you believe me?" Tan Yonglin immediately widened his eyes, "You mean, you only learned to sing?"

Chen Xiaotang nodded, "In the past, it was all singing blindly, without talking about skills and luck, but now I understand that singing is also a skill and knowledge, it's too deep."

Tan Yonglin swallowed, "That is to say, you only learned to sing not long ago, and then you sang the divine comedy "Flastic"?"

"What kind of Divine Comedy is not Divine Comedy? In front of you Tan Tianwang, I dare not take it seriously—it's just improvisation!"

"Haha!" Tan Yonglin burst out laughing suddenly, "Improvisation? Ah Tang, you are too modest. May I ask who in the entire music world is like you who can shock the music scene just by improvisation?"

"The Megatron music world? If your Alan fans hear you say this, then I'm afraid I will be smashed—" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile, "Besides, so many people now think that I It’s just a flash in the pan, like a shooting star across the music sky, what’s there to show off?”

"Are you laughing at yourself?" Tan Yonglin started and gave him a can of beer from the mini freezer in the nanny's car.

Chen Xiaotang slammed open the beer, took a sip unceremoniously and said, "It's okay not to laugh at yourself, so many eyes are looking at me, if I don't relax my heart a bit, won't I be annoyed to death?"

"Hehe, it's rare for you to comfort yourself like this." Tan Yonglin also took a can of beer, "Actually, I came to ask you to be a lobbyist this time. 'God of Songs' knows, he is going to hold a concert in the Red Hall, I want to invite you and me to be guests, how about it?"

song god? ---Xu Guanjie? !

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help being taken aback.

"It looks like he wants to eat me!" Chen Xiaotang smiled lightly.

"Why, you don't want to?" Tan Yonglin was surprised, "You know, this is a good opportunity to get ahead. The God of Songs concert must have tens of millions of fans, and there will be a lot of big names. At that time, you can also help yourself to rectify your name. Who dares to say that you Chen Xiaotang can't sing, it's just a flash in the pan..."

"Why bother? I just want to make a good movie. As for the music industry, I don't have any ambitions yet..." Chen Xiaotang sipped his beer lightly and said.

"Really?" Tan Yonglin couldn't understand Chen Xiaotang a little bit, how could he know that Chen Xiaotang is now focused on making "The Lord of the Demon Cult" well, and he doesn't think about the rest at all.

"Oh, well, I've said everything I can say, but having said that... If you really enter the music scene, you will put a lot of pressure on us people!" Tan Yonglin joked, "I am looking forward to being with you In the music world, I hope this day will come soon!"

"Hehe, maybe there will be such a day." Chen Xiaotang smiled and raised his beer, "I still have something to do, I have to go down first!"

"Well, let's drink tea together when we have time." Tan Yonglin said politely.

Chen Xiaotang nodded and got out of the car.

Seeing Chen Xiaotang waving at him outside the car, Tan Yonglin also waved. This time he failed as a lobbyist, but according to his understanding of the "God of Songs" Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanjie would never give up on Chen Xiaotang so easily, you think? , Invited by the God of Songs, you don't even give me face, no matter how you say it, you will lose face.Perhaps, the "God of Songs" might come out in person, Tan Yonglin couldn't help thinking this way.

...............................

After Chen Xiaotang returned to TVB, he immediately began to choose jobs for the technician training class.

It's just that the director Wang Jing is not in place yet, so Chen Xiaotang can only announce the selection of actors for filming in the form of an announcement.It is confirmed that the official selection will start tomorrow.

The content of the announcement is as follows:

Today Shaw Brothers is going to start filming Kim Yong's adaptation of "Yi Tian: The Demon Sect Leader", and they will choose three actresses to play important roles in it. The three roles are "Zhou Zhiruo", "Xiao Zhao", and "Zhao Min".

There are other supporting roles also want to choose, I hope everyone actively participate!

Requirements: Under the age of 22, with a classic temperament, stunning costumes, a deep understanding and grasp of the role, and special talents. If all conditions are excellent, the requirements can be relaxed appropriately.

It doesn't matter if this announcement is posted, the whole wireless TV station will be messed up, you must know that it is not easy to be a newcomer, no matter how beautiful you are, or how great your acting skills are, if you are not lucky, let alone playing the heroine in a TV series, even a secondary role Nothing to do.But this time, make a movie, God, go straight to the sky.What's more, it's playing with Chen Xiaotang, who is Chen Xiaotang, and now the most popular young boy in the entire TVB, his song "Exaggerated" shocked the music scene, many people want to build relationships but can't find a way, and now they can act on the same stage with him, Glory!
As a result, the female students in the entire TVB training class went crazy, and those actresses who had already become popular were also dispatched, those who should take stills took stills, and those who should practice their specialties, in short, the whole wireless was messed up by this incident It's crazy.

At the same time, Chen Xiaotang went to the Omen Casino to discuss with the fat man Wang Jing about tomorrow's selection according to the instructions of the great director Wang Tianlin.

In Shao Daheng's view, the reason why Chen Xiaotang proposed to let Wang Jing direct the play must be that there must be some special relationship between them.In reality, Chen Xiaotang and Fatty Wang Jing have only met once, and they only spoke a few words. It is not even acquaintance, let alone friends. The reason why Chen Xiaotang suggested letting Fatty become a director is because Fundamentally speaking, there is selfishness.

You know, if Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng were to shoot this movie, not to mention that these two people have experienced many battles, I have to serve them with enough face, but in terms of filming concepts, they are different.

Wang Tianlin is a representative of stream-of-consciousness martial arts who came from filming Gu Long's martial arts; Xiao Sheng, who is famous for filming Jin Yong's martial arts, is a representative of traditional martial arts; Although Chen Xiaotang has deleted or modified some of the spoofs in the script, in essence, only a director like Wang Jing who likes to "play around" can understand and control this drama.

As for Wang Jing himself, Chen Xiaotang can say that no one in this world can really "understand" him except himself.

In the previous life, Feng Xiaogang, a famous mainland director, said, "I am a director of commercial films, but I am not a businessman, just like many people are directors of art films, but he himself is a businessman." In Chen Xiaotang's view, the great director Wang Jing is not only a commercial filmmaker, but also a businessman.

Among HK directors, no one is more prolific than Wang Jing. He has directed and supervised almost 200 films, and Liu Dehua, a model worker who is only an actor, can't reach this number.It is said that Wang Jing's daily life is very regular, and he doesn't play with unspoken rules. He just concentrates on writing, directing, producing, and making guest appearances.

Among the HK directors, no one is more refusing to be original than Wang Jing, blindly immersing himself in other people's wisdom and his own old book.Parody or plagiarism is Wang Jing's label, and the two "Hardcover Chasing Girls" in the late 80s are the most representative.

At that time, Wang Jing was working for Yongsheng Film Company, which was the stall set up by Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang brothers, and it was once a rival to Golden Harvest and New Art City.

The first one was starring Zhou Runfa, borrowing a lot from "The True Colors of a Hero".At the beginning, it is "Brother Hao went to Jianji garage", and the dialogue is vividly described in red: It is difficult for people who have been in prison to find a job. I hate people pointing their fingers at my head, and so on.Zeng Zhiwei once had hallucinations, and the scene of the "Fenglin Pavilion Shootout" was in front of his eyes, but he was shouted out: boring!They're going to draw their guns anyway, so why hide in a flower pot?At the end, Zeng Zhiwei came out of the hotel like "Big Brother Cheng" looking very cool, while his opponent in the film "Can't Stand" limps like a pony and wipes the car.

The second film is starring Liu Dehua, and it is even more unscrupulous because of his films. "Chu Fat Fragrance" is clearly a spoof of "Chu Liuxiang", the "stealing contract" comes from Xu Guanwen's "Deed of Sale", the cafe at the end of the trestle is learned from "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Brine Dan" molested "Sword Horse Dan", the last paragraph is copied "Prison Storm" just changed "hunger strike" to "refuse to take a shit"!To compose such a bridge segment requires a certain foundation of viewing movies.The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. As soon as someone else made something good, Fatty Wang would take it for a second use without blushing and heartbeat, and convinced him.

No one is less particular than Wang Jing. None of his works that Chen Xiaotang has seen does not show traces of shoddy production, and none of them makes people think that one point will make you fat, and one point will make you thin. Americans comment on Hong Kong films The phrase "Everything is crazy, everything is too much" is custom-made for him.

Fatty can also be regarded as a person with imagination, but he is not as solid as Liu Zhenwei and Wei Jiahui in the connection between imagination and reality. It is a completely absurd construction.I knew that the audience would not be serious about laughing films, so they were unwilling to put in more effort to refine the good ideas. In "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", the transition from the TV program "You have to listen to what the big brother says" to "If you don't make it", is quite bizarre.Zeng Zhiwei and the other three disguised themselves as sculpted warriors and appeared in the "coverable" bedroom, using hot urine as a shower to give him a hot bath! In "Brothers in Hardcover", Lu Qi's popular voice comes from the urgency to urinate, Xie Xian's crooked neck tree and male duck voice are due to being beaten the night before the audition, and Cao Dahua's hanging wire is inspired by repairing the antenna on the roof. Got a handful of thread and luckily survived!
No one is less bad-mouthed than Wang Jing. He mocks film festival director Wang Jiawei who doesn't have the same interests as him in the film. In interviews, he belittles mainland literary film directors as cowards who have no guts to make commercial films. "Brothers in Hardcover" is about the great director "Wang Jingwei" of the 90s traveling back in time to the 60s.Wang Jingwei fought against piracy in public, but let his wife secretly collect pirated copies of old and western films, and used them to bluff people in the film.The great director Chu Yuan couldn't watch it, so he reached out his hand from the TV and dragged him to the old Shaw Brothers studio, saying that he had to make a movie that the audience liked at that time before it could be released into the contemporary era.Wang Jingwei filmed "Fei Lao Zheng Zhuan" and "East Snake and West Deer" that pretended to be ghosts, but lost all his money.The boss who looks exactly like Shao Yifu sarcastically said: "If you make such a movie that no one sees, the whole family should die! Get out before I kill you with a knife!"

Chen Xiaotang did not expect that Wang Jing could curse his colleagues so viciously in the movie.

At the end of the film, he asked the chubby boy "Wang Jing" to say to "Wang Jingwei" sincerely: "I like your movie!" This pause made Chen Xiaotang wonder what his real thoughts were.

No one is saltier than Fatty Wang.The tertiary films have flourished in his hands, including the "Rape~Rape" series in fashion, the "Jade~Futon" series in ancient costumes, and "Top Ten Tortures in the Qing Dynasty" and so on.Zhu Yin, Lin Xilei, and Qiu Shuzhen are in charge of showing off their sex appeal, while Shu Qi, Li Lizhen, and Weng Hong are in charge of revealing their clothes, whether they take it off or not.His evil imagination is fully released here.Especially in "Man Qing Torture", Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" was changed into a lewd ~ poem about the joy of the couple's boudoir, "I will have to mention it three thousand times", which can be described as a classic!

Even general jokes are full of yellow accents. In "The Best Lost Friend", Chen Boxiang helps his fierce wife Wu Junru wash her underwear, Wu beats and says: Be careful, I bought a bra for 2000 yuan!Chen responded with a bitter face: You have no breasts, is it worth spending so much money?Wu Junru countered: "According to this, why are you still wearing underwear?"
The most humble people are invincible.No one has a higher cumulative box office than Wang Jing. His 20-year HK box office has exceeded 10 billion yuan.There is an article analyzing Wang Jing's box office performance over the years, and the conclusion is that without Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing will be very mediocre. If Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua also abandon him, Wang Jing will simply become a dead capital.

This article has detailed information, and the conclusion is ironclad, but directors and actors are interdependent. Star production is the only rule of commercial movies. The incense is not strong, it can't be justified.So many celebrities are willing to cooperate with Wang Jing, which in itself shows his ability and value.Of course, the audience can't imagine themselves as Xiao Ma with agitated emotions like watching "The True Colors of Heroes", nor can they indulge in the song-like past like watching "Platform", but many people are amused by the "vulgar" Wang Jing But, don't pick up the plate to eat meat, put down the plate and scold your mother.

It is precisely because Chen Xiaotang understands Wang Jing and understands Wang Jing, so Chen Xiaotang recommends Wang Jing to direct this film. Purely speaking, this film is just to make money. Chen Xiaotang invested 50 yuan in his own salary, and he absolutely does not want to waste money Therefore, this drama must be Wang Jing!
