Zhuo Yi had already made an appointment with Wang Jing, the fat man, to send the script to Yongsheng Film Company. Since the Shaw Brothers movie was discontinued, this fat man has gone to Yongsheng. He has been doing well with his own series of ghost-chasing girls. Yongsheng was just established by the Xiang brothers last year and has a relatively weak connection, so Wang Jing is a general in Yongsheng and is highly valued. Therefore, he dared to give the bill to help Zhuo Yi's script a good price.

Zhuo Yi deliberately dressed up his hair, put on the suit that Guan Xiumei bought for him, and then took the script and novel draft to Yongsheng. During the few days he spent with Guan Xiumei, Zhuo Yi personally experienced that Guan Xiumei was definitely a good woman with a good wife and mother. Zhuo Yi was like an old man at home, just by having clothes and food to open his mouth.

When Yongsheng saw Wang Jing, the swelling on this guy's face was almost healed. There were two men in the office. Before Zhuo Yi could speak, the fat man Wang Jing ran over, just like a client who saw a prostitute, and his eyes were glowing blue. "A Zhuo, has the script been brought? I'll read it..."

"Damn, are you that anxious?" Zhuo handed over the script and said funny. "Your face has lost a little weight! Congratulations!"

Wang Jing cried and said, "You're gloating! I don't have time to pay attention to you now!" Then he introduced Zhuo Yi to two other men and sat on the sofa and read the script. It seems that this guy really needs scripts to film!

"Hello! Xiang Huasheng." "Xiang Huaqiang"

"Zhuo Yi"

Zhuo Yi could not have imagined that these two were the Xiang brothers, the boss of Yongsheng Company. Xiang Huasheng Zhuo Yi was not very familiar with him, but Zhuo Yi, a movie lover. In later generations, for those who don’t know much about Hong Kong movies, there may be very few people who know the name Xiang Huaqiang. However, those who have watched Chow Yun-fat’s "God of Gambling" may not forget the serious and dedicated brother of Chow, Long Wu, who plays Long Wu. This person who plays Long Wu is Xiang Huaqiang.

Xiang Huaqiang is just as serious as his image in the movie. After greeting Zhuo Yi, he also took the script of "Best Bad Friends' Passing the Love" and started watching it. Xiang Huasheng asked Zhuo Yi to go to the coffee table next to him for tea. He was very interested in Zhuo Yi. He heard Wang Jing talk about Zhuo Yi's heroic deeds of sixteen big men in Chinatown. He thought Zhuo Yi should be a very heroic and strong big man, but he didn't know that meeting was better than being famous. Zhuo Yi was actually a handsome butterfly boy, so he wanted to ask if Zhuo Yi had practiced qigong or something.

"Brother Zhuo, have you learned kung fu? I heard from people outside that you can actually beat more than a dozen big men in Chinatown alone!"

"Haha! I have learned a few tricks and embroidered moves, but it is hard to reach the elegant hall. I laughed..." Zhuo Yi shook his hand. He suddenly remembered the Xiang brothers' gangster background. These two guys are good at martial arts. If they want to have a fight for no reason, it will be troublesome. Zhuo Yi is not afraid of them. But now he gradually finds that his spirit cannot be consumed too much. It is not a big deal, but if he uses his brain too intensively and with high intensity, he will have the sequelae of headaches and splitting. He discovered it after the Chinatown incident, so it is avoided if he does it without reason.

...

"Azhuo, have you attended a professional screenwriter training class before? The script is so professional?" Wang Jing asked curiously. They have roughly finished reading the script.

"Why do you ask this? Is there any problem?" Zhuo Yi stood up and asked when he thought there was something wrong with the script.

In fact, Zhuo Yi didn't know that most of the Hong Kong screenwriters in the 1980s were self-taught and had never written regular scripts. Therefore, they usually wrote scripts like stories, and Wang Jing was the representative of them. There were few scripts written in such standard way that Zhuo Yi wrote.

Zhuo Yi has read many classic winning scripts in his later generations, so he has this habit in his writing. He separates each story for about ten to fifteen minutes, and then strictly follows that each story has a small climax, and then at the end of the big climax, the time is just ninety minutes long. Then he also marked the lens inside, which camera, which angle, lens switching, which scene shooting, and even when the lights are on, all of them are marked.

This is what shocked Wang Jing and Xiang Huaqiang. Wang Jing and the others thought the story of the script were nothing. It was just another extension of Wang Jing's previous series of girls. Wang Jing believed that he could write it, but he had no choice but to write the script so exquisitely. He usually tried it a few more times during the filming to know what scene he wanted. The camera is like this!

In fact, many directors in Hong Kong were the same at that time. They didn’t know how to shoot it until they were filming. Wang Jing was a little better. This shooting technique was based on Wong Kar-wai as a classic. He usually had no scripts, only a story he knew in his heart, and even the scene was blurred. He could only display his talents when shooting. So when this guy was filming, he would shoot one after another when he thought of one, and then he would leave work, or when he thought of a better idea tomorrow, he would delete the one he had made in front and reshoot it better. But you have to admire him. It is precisely because of these Hong Kong movies that like to carefully craft, study the lens and pictures that Hong Kong movies can occupy a place in world movies.

Wang Jing and Xiang Huaqiang looked at each other. They were both people who knew movies. Of course, they knew how much time and money they could save when writing scripts like Zhuo Yi. With such a comprehensive and exquisite good script, even newcomers could be directors. Just shoot according to the script.

"You didn't write these two scripts in the past three days, right?" Wang Jing looked at Zhuo Yi like a ghost. He suddenly remembered that he had discussed the script with Zhuo Yi three days ago when he was in Chinatown.

"Of course not! I wrote it on the computer before, but I just happened to hear you say you want to use it, so I printed it for you." Zhuo Yi naturally didn't want others to look at him with strange eyes. Hiding his weakness is also a way to protect himself.

"A Qiang, Zhuo Yi, my brother, look, what are the prices of these two scripts?" Wang Jing turned to discuss with Xiang Huaqiang. Of course, he knew that Xiang Huasheng was the decision of the company's external operations, and Xiang Huaqiang had the final say in the specific matters of the internal movies.

Xiang Huaqiang had no choice. Zhuo Yi was brought by Wang Jing. Wang Jing looked like my brother. If he was less, he would not explain to Wang Jing. Wang Jing's position in the company was of great importance. Besides, these two scripts are indeed good scripts, but if he gave too much, he was afraid that the impact would be bad. If he started this, the screenwriters would have to increase the price in the future and it would be difficult to talk. In addition, it would increase the cost investment. A good script may not necessarily have a good box office.

"Otherwise, I don't want a penny for these two scripts..." Zhuo Yi also saw Xiang Huaqiang's difficulties.

The Xiang brothers looked at Zhuo Yi with Wang Jing strangely.

"However, if the local box office of the movie made by the script exceeds 10 million, I will have 4% of the total box office. If it exceeds 20 million, I will have 8% of the box office. What about it?" Zhuo Yi suggested.

This time, the Xiang brothers were really embarrassed. You should know that Hong Kong produced more than 100,200 movies last year, but only 20 movies with a box office of more than 10 million, and only 10 movies with a box office of more than 20 million. It is too difficult to think of a box office of more than 10 million. Besides, even if Zhuo Yi was lucky enough to exceed 10 million, he would only be divided into 300,000 yuan. Their company's interests are even greater. He originally wanted to buy Wang Jing's face to give a price of 300,000 yuan. Why not do this now? In this way, their advantage will be huge.

"Let's do this! We'll ask for two scripts, together with 150,000 yuan. If the box office is good, then how about you give it to you according to the box office you said?" Yes, the Xiang brothers have just started business and are not as sinister as those businessmen. They agreed boldly, and gave Zhuo 150,000 yuan, saving Zhuo's loss of money.

Of course Zhuo Yi agreed. He is not stupid. This guy knows that these two movies have a box office of more than 20 million and a box office of more than 16 million in later generations. In this way, when the movie is released, the box office will be developed as soon as it comes out!
