Chapter 597 Four Heavenly Kings Version "F4" (Second Update)

It is said that Chen Xiaotang proposed the concept of producing "idol drama" at the conference of Moying Entertainment, which made everyone stunned.

Because Chen Xiaotang believes that idol dramas, as a unique type of drama, will have tenacious vitality, and will last for a long time amidst various dramas, in the alternation of times, and in the rampant time travel.

Now that Chen Xiaotang has produced this kind of idol drama in advance, he just wants to verify its vitality and see if it is as vigorous as the legend says.By the way, rob Little Japan of the title of "Nation of Idol Dramas" and tell the world that idol dramas are made in China!
Sure enough, after Chen Xiaotang finished explaining, Fatty, Huang Zhan, Old Freak Xu and others were all dumbfounded.

"As for what kind of idol drama to shoot, I have already thought about it. The name of this drama is "Meteor Garden"!" .

"The story is about a super platinum college - Yingde College, which was established by the four major families to cultivate outstanding offspring, so the status of F4 after the four major families in the school can be imagined, From kindergarten, elementary school, high school to university, no one in the school dared to resist the four domineering boys, F4, until a girl appeared and messed up the seemingly well-controlled situation..."

The story of "Meteor Garden" is narrated, and the old bones like Huang Zhan feel itchy when they hear it, love, you are amazing; let alone Fatty Wang Jing and others, they are all attracted by Chen Xiaotang's idol drama up.

"Okay, basically I've finished talking, what do you guys think?" Chen Xiaotang asked everyone.

The fat man took the lead in applauding, "That's good, it's very innovative, and this kind of drama will definitely attract those young people!"

"Yeah, I feel very youthful and lively!"

"Just who do you want to play F4?"

Chen Xiaotang knocked on the table with his fingers, and then casually said the names of the four people.

"Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, Liming, and Guo Fucheng!"

Everyone was stunned.

Then silence.

Liu Dehua and Guo Fucheng were okay, Zhang Xueyou and Liming were both from other companies, how could Chen Xiaotang think of praising outsiders? !

How did they know that the calculation in Chen Xiaotang's heart was very simple, let the future "Four Heavenly Kings" play "F4" in "Meteor Garden", this is absolutely a unique choice!

Quack, just imagine, the Four Heavenly Kings will become popular in the future, and it would be so cute to talk about a play they acted in together that turned out to be "Meteor Garden"!
It will definitely be so cute that the earth will be turned upside down, and the land will be cracked!
But Zhang Xueyou doesn't look very handsome, it doesn't matter, if you let him have a big nose, people will like it, not to mention that he sings so well, and he is very attractive.

As for whether or not the big guy talks about praising people, the next step is the real point.It is also the focus of Chen Xiaotang's praise!
"Okay, that's roughly the case for music and TV work. Next, let's talk about the main force of our Magic Shadow Entertainment --- film affairs!" Chen Xiaotang clapped his hands and said, "My request is very simple, that is, more Make new films, blockbuster films, and strive to seize the film market! Li Lianjie's "Once Upon a Time" series, and Zhou Xingchi's comedy series, have to rush to work quickly. The new films will be released immediately, and if there is no schedule, they will prepare for the summer vacation and Christmas. Now, after the new year... In short, our giant ship, Moying, must not sit idle, we must use our strength to prove to the outside world that Moying will only develop better and better, and will never fall down just because I, Chen Xiaotang, lie down!"

"Well said! Our company itself is a big family, a huge ship, and it will never stop... But now many movie themes have flooded, such as zombie movies, martial arts movies, kung fu movies, and action movies. It's not easy to make more innovative and sincere movies!" Fatty Wang said, shaking his head.

Fatty has always been regarded as the "Bridge King" in the film industry, and his writing speed is first-class. Now even he says so, which shows how fierce the competition in the Hong Kong film market is.

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this, everyone, since I proposed that the script should be innovative, I will set an example. After all, it is not easy to produce a high-quality work, so let everyone take a look at my script first!"

While speaking, Chen Xiaotang asked his personal assistant Ye Zimei to distribute the prepared script outline to everyone.

Chen Xiaotang is a well-known master of screenwriting.Almost every script he writes is very popular, so everyone is very curious about what kind of story he will come up with this time.

""Infernal Affairs"?" Wang Jing opened it curiously, and read: "What is Jianghu? Jianghu just comes out to mess around, and one day you have to pay it back. The question is, in what capacity do you pay it back. In Hong Kong In the complicated social form, there is a group of people, they are called Infernal Affairs, walking in the black and white gray area, they have no tomorrow, and they have no future, they almost live in an environment similar to hell, dreaming that they are afraid that others will expose their own identity……"

Chen Xiaotang's scripts have always been easy to read, but this time it is different. Everyone can see a heaviness and an indescribable depression from "Infernal Affairs".

What is black?What is white?
Can black and white be reversed?
Can life be replaced? !
This is everyone's question.

Just when everyone was flipping through it.Chen Xiaotang said: "I have done research, and now the Hong Kong movie police and gangster movies have been hovering over movies like "Public Servant" and "Royal Senior Sister". We must tell people that real police films can also be shot like this, and that the real battle of wits and courage is the world!"

"Different angles lead to different films. Therefore, I hope to start from the perspective of those marginalized people to shoot a police film that does not distinguish between black and white, and use our Hong Kong characteristics to create our own fighting wits film, telling people, Our Hong Kong gangster films can do the same!"
"So you wrote this kind of script - "Infernal Affairs"?!" Fatty Wang Jing looked at the name of the script.

"Yes, "Infernal Affairs" is taken from Infernal Affairs. I'm going to turn black and white upside down. A gangster undercover in the police department eventually became a senior inspector; and an excellent policeman who was an undercover gang in the middle of the gang finally became the backbone of the gang. .A real policeman is arrested by a fake policeman, true and false, good and evil, will become the main contradiction in this drama. To put it simply, it is the torture of human nature! The contradiction and struggle between the two heroes, It will be the focus of this drama, and the actors must be superb in acting; in terms of investment, the budget will be as high as 1000 million, allowing you to fully lead the filming of this drama, get the most money, and shoot the best scenes... ...In short, fighting wits and courage, passionate and hot-blooded, super big production, these three are our selling points!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaotang was a little funny.Because in his opinion, the "Infernal Affairs" in the previous life was good-looking, but the action scenes were too few, which made many viewers who like police and gangster films feel unsatisfactory. Therefore, Chen Xiaotang decided to increase it appropriately to match the appreciation preferences of today's audiences. The action scenes make this gangster movie look more exciting, and the rhythm is more exciting.

Generally speaking, the "Infernal Affairs" that Chen Xiaotang is about to create is definitely different from the one in his previous life. After all, each era has its own characteristics. It is impossible for you to copy it meticulously, and you have to make some changes. .

It can be said that after the adaptation, this script has now completely become an excellent script with compact plot, beautiful picture and fascinating.

Faced with such a "good script" invested by tens of millions of dollars, directors Xu Ke, Cheng Xiaodong, Wang Jing and others are all ready to move. After all, with the development of Hong Kong movies, there are fewer and fewer good scripts.Although Chen Xiaotang gave great support to the screenwriters, the development of Moying Entertainment was too rapid, and the training of screenwriters was far from meeting the requirements of directors for filming.Therefore, as a "master of screenwriting", it is rare for Chen Xiaotang to come up with such a wonderful work.

What's more, there are few films invested by Moying with huge investment of tens of millions of dollars. As long as they are directors, they all want to try their skills and see if they can manage such a large-scale production with such a huge investment.

Great director, what is a "great director"? !

It is to be able to hold the most money and shoot the most expensive scenes, which is in line with the status of a "big director"!

At this moment, the fat man Wang Jing said to the great director Xu Ke with a sad expression, "Brother Xu, your "Once Upon a Time" series has almost finished filming, right?"

Old Monster Xu nodded: "Yes, so I'm also looking for a movie to shoot now."

Wang Jing: "Then I suggest you go to shoot kung fu movies, this kind of drama is very suitable for you."

Old Freak Xu: "What you said makes sense."

Wang Jing looked at Cheng Xiaodong again: "Brother Dong, I heard that you are going to fulfill your wish to film your own "A Chinese Ghost Story"?!"

Cheng Xiaodong: "The script is undecided and still under consideration."

Wang Jing looked at Liu Zhenwei again, and Li Li supported them: "Needless to say, you all like to take the comedy route, and there are scenes to be filmed at any time..." The tone changed, "But what about me? What masterpieces do I have? No! Some are just some shit Fart! Being ridiculed and ridiculed, saying that I can only play low-level funny..."

"Friends, I also want to make progress! But I need a good script. The pyramid was not built in a day, and the film master was not built in a day. I have low qualifications and inexperience. A script like "Infernal Affairs" to improve my own personal qualities..."

"Friends, I'm not being self-deprecating. Who wants to be bald with hair? Who wants an airport if there is papaya?! Now a movie that suits my taste and is very suitable for me to shoot, for me, it is simply Bitter medicine is a life-saving straw! Put such a script in front of me, you say, will you have the heart to fight with me? Will you have the heart to see me degenerate without medicine, and stay in the circle of low-level movies forever?"

Fatty had a pitiful expression on his face, and his fat body trembled. "Could not bear".Old Monster Xu and the others said in unison.

"I'm so grateful to you!" the fat man said tearfully.

But before he finished being grateful, everyone said again: "It's no wonder you can't bear it! Who doesn't know that you are a famous fast shooter, making movies is like playing mahjong, and you get confused again and again. Not famous? Ghosts would believe it! In short, we have decided on the script!"

The fat man got angry, and pointed at Old Monster Xu: "I'll poke and poke, a drop of blood in Jianghu, don't tell others, if you really want to rob, let's talk as we go!"

Facing Fatty's provocation, Old Freak Xu uttered a sentence in foreign language: "WHO is afraid of WHO?!"

"You, you, you, you are so angry with me!" The fat man had to say in a low voice: "Dear brother Xu, you are a master, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you must know how to guide the younger generation to love children, so why bother? Liu Zhenwei, you make comedies. You are not good at cops and gangsters, so it’s a shame for you. Besides, you are a fat man, and I am also a fat man. I am a fat man, so why rush?! And you, Wang Jiawei, and I I don’t know what you’re fighting for. Don’t you like to tinker with literary films? Just keep tinkering, and no one will care about you until the year of the monkey. As for other people, you have to consider the company’s benefits and don’t take money for money. Movies with high risks and difficulties in operation should be left to me to operate! In short, I am the only one who suffers, and the family is happy! For the future of the company, I am willing to cut my body and dare to pull the emperor down!"

Seeing that Fatty spoke righteously and impassionedly, everyone was impressed by his thick skin.

This is no ordinary person.

I have seen shameless people, I have never seen such shameless people!

Seeing that Wang Jing said it firmly.Spit and fly.Chen Xiaotang didn't take his self-recommendation seriously. You must know that Wang Jing's filming has a special feature. He likes to mess around in his own movies every now and then. Like the authentic sci-fi movie "Future Special Police" in his previous life, it was originally a very good script. It would be very vulgar for him to insert some low-level funny plots in it.After all, the boundary between vulgar and low-level is only one step away.Chen Xiaotang didn't want to let the fat man go down in a "very personal style" vulgarity.

But having said that, Fatty is really good at shooting gangster movies. For example, "Black and White Forest" he shot after imitating "Infernal Affairs" has a bit of charm. If he is allowed to direct this movie, it will be fine, but before that Gotta beat him up.

"Since you have so much confidence in yourself, then analyze it for me. If this gangster film was handed over to you, how would you make it?"

"Simple, take the money to shoot!"

As soon as the fat man said this, Chen Xiaotang almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

"Nonsense, if you don't take money, you can shoot a bird!"

"You don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that you get what you pay for, and I will definitely use every penny to make this movie a masterpiece among the best! Believe me, Ah Tang, if If I screwed up, you'll fire me!" The fat man patted his chest and promised.

Everyone was stunned and asked, as for making such a big oath?Don't even want a job!
