Chapter 239 This new project is extraordinary
a new day.
When the Ni family and his son woke up from their hangover and drank some tea to relieve their discomfort, Ni Zhencai said excitedly, "Dad, it seems that Director Zeng won't trick me this time, right?"
Yesterday they visited Zeng's house, had a round of good wine and good food, and paid Zeng Mewei to go to a nightclub to party for half the night. They were so drunk in the second half of the night that they slept in the hotel next door.
During the visit, Zeng Mewwei also talked about the general outline of the script, which is the main plot of a scientist cultivating hybrid grains to greatly increase grain production and enable countless people to have enough to eat and no longer go hungry.
In need of a young and handsome male lead who can fight, Deng Yurong originally preferred to play the role from popular superstars such as Zhou Runfa and Andy Lau, but it was Tsang Mewwei who persuaded him that those guys were too expensive.
The salary can be several million, or even tens of millions, just to get a film list from someone other than Zhao. This mainstream film project is just an attempt to create a new subject matter that has never been seen in Hong Kong movies. It may not make a lot of money.
So it’s better to choose the cheaper one for the pay.
There's nothing wrong with that. In the winter of 1986, Andy Lau took over the filming of Yong Sheng's (The Legend of Detective Lei Luo), and he earned a direct salary of 16 million Hong Kong dollars for the two parts!
You can get the full payment after the photo shoot without delay or arrears.
Even if it turns out that after Yong Sheng finished filming those two movies, he still made money at the box office. The Xiang brothers can't figure out the operation mode of each ticket warehouse in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but they can sell it in the port, and a Lei Luo can sell it in the port.
Sold for HKD 10 million.
The upper and lower areas are worth 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and Li Guoxing took the order.
Therefore, the two films sold in other places have made profits. After being released at Golden Harvest Cinema in Hong Kong, the total box office was nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars each, and the profits were also not low.
Not to mention the video revenue.
Of course there is money to be made by hiring big stars to make big movies, and they are worth such high remuneration, but isn't Lian Le and Deng Yurong's film company less heroic and passionate? It's cheaper to choose newcomers.
Reasonable.
Ni Zhen was very happy to learn that it was a movie like that. After all, it was a serious drama and a big movie. Just like Shao Guohua said yesterday, the most important thing for him now is to become famous. Being famous is beneficial!
Fame, fortune, and wealth include various other enjoyments. You must first seize the opportunity.
Ni Jiandu said bitterly, "The contract has been signed. It's useless no matter how much you say. The liquidated damages are not a small amount. If you ask me, you shouldn't sign the contract so quickly. You have to think about it for a few days."
Ni Zhen was both excited and a little excited, "Hey, there are so many targets they can choose from. I also know that Director Zeng chose me to use your previous fame to create hype."
"I may also be asked to borrow Uncle Huang and Uncle Cha's connections to help promote the movie... But besides me, he still has many choices. Opportunities wait for no one. You have to be famous as early as possible!"
Ni Jiang opened his mouth, but for a moment he had nothing to say.
After all, he had gained a lot of fame from Zeng Miewei and Deng Yurong, and he had a lot of money in the romantic movies. The salary was very high when he signed the contract, but he could only get a deposit at most, and there would be nothing later.
Before those movies were released, Deng Yurong often used his fame to promote them. Only with better promotion can they have good box office.
The logic is just that, and everyone understands the truth.
The man surnamed Zeng fell in love with his son, and it was nothing more than this... But Ni Jiang was still very angry. He was promised such a high salary, but he defaulted on it time and time again, and now he continues to set his sights on his son?? He probably doesn't want to return it.
Subsequent payments.
They will continue to use their family's fame and popularity to defraud the box office.
After thinking for a moment, he said helplessly, "Forget it, when you go to the north, be careful. But based on the relationship between Lao Cha and me, they probably won't do anything to you over there. It's no big deal, but you have to be careful."
.”
When he mentioned the north, he had a disgusting expression on his face.
Ni Zhen nodded.
Then……
Then in the afternoon, when Zeng Mewwei and several young and middle-aged people found Ni Zhen at (YES!) magazine and expressed their hope to leave in the afternoon, Ni Zhen was confused, "So soon?"
Yesterday, he did find out that filming would go north for filming. This is a basic thing. At this stage, too many big production crews will go to the mainland for filming, whether it is a movie or a TV series, there are a lot of them.
Director Zeng nodded happily, "Lao He and the others are going to scout and choose places, but you need to experience life and observe life. You will play the role of a scientist, a person with a strong academic atmosphere. There are also many scholars from the University of Hong Kong or the Baptist Church.
, but there is a lack of hands-on locations and experienced people.”
"Don't worry, Lao He and the others will take good care of you."
"Look at Tony Leung Ka Fai? When did he not write a lot of character biographies after receiving a script, and even experience life and observe the goals to develop his acting skills?"
"Just like Yuen Biu, a kung fu superstar, he also learned gunfighting moves for a month before starring in (Mr. and Mrs. Smith). Lola Fonna also trained for a month of surfing training before filming "Shark Beach", including filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
It took two or three months of special training.”
"Nowadays, serious Hong Kong blockbusters have long been different from the short, flat and fast model."
Ni Zhen, "..."
He felt a little confused, but he still accepted these remarks. At this stage, he was just a marginalized person in the film and television industry, and what Director Zeng said was true.
Mainland TV drama kings such as "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are still filming for several years!
After being confused, he smiled and said, "Well, Director Zeng, can I go home and prepare something?"
Although Zeng Mowei was short, he was very powerful. He slapped Ni Zhen on the shoulder and said, "You idiot, Brother Darong's film company is also very formal. Although it is impossible to give you a high salary in terms of film remuneration, the basic necessities, food, housing and transportation are not required."
Worry about it."
Lao Hedu smiled and said, "Ni Sheng, just call home and leave. I have bought the air tickets and will go to the capital first."
They were talking about shooting in the north, but Siberia is also in the north!
We flew to Beijing first, and after an hour's transfer we boarded the flight to Siberia. The vast Siberia covers an area of more than 10 million square kilometers, and is full of no-man's land, with no phone signal...
Just find an uninhabited place within a hundred miles, build a small wooden house, throw in all kinds of materials, and let him grow potatoes.
The expressions of the several young men following Lao He were actually not very good. After all, they knew what the real mission was. Ni Sheng was going to plant potatoes, and they were all accompanying him to plant potatoes. Well, they didn't plant them because they wanted to prevent them.
This guy is running around.
But after we go there, don’t we have to stay with Ni Sheng in those no-man’s land and show off? Fortunately, I heard that as long as there are supplies, there is no shortage of beauties over there at Big Bear.
After they go north to study for a year and a half, someone will be able to take over and take over, and they can even take up positions!
I feel that this task is quite reliable. At least it is much easier than squatting in Stanley for a few years and coming out at the top. If they can learn the big bear language during this period, they will even have the opportunity to run to Moscow after they get to the top.
of cross-border trade.
That's a super money-attracting source of wealth.
Zeng Mewwei patted Ni Zhen's shoulder again, "Okay, big man, you have to become famous as early as possible, don't wait too long. Compared with when I worked hard as a stunt double and as a dragon and tiger martial artist, a handsome guy like you relies on your acting skills to achieve success.
It’s so relaxing.”
"Go ahead, the air tickets are all booked. Feel free to call your family on the way to discuss the situation."
After watching Ni Zhen, who was dazed and moved by what he said, and Lao He left together, Director Zeng lit a cigarette and puffed away. This matter was all done by him from beginning to end, and what?
Pan Asia Group, Zhao Corporation, etc. have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
This evil man, he once led him to death!
Anyway, the most I can get is scolding and beating. Isn’t it just a trivial matter? After smoking a cigarette and leaving (YES!) magazine, Ah Wei smiled and grabbed the mobile phone and dialed, “Ah Ming, this is Zeng Mole.
Wei, do you have time to come out and chat?"
Liu Ximing is still being led by (YES!), and a large number of gossip magazines and newspapers are following the trend and following the report. The Oriental newspaper group has not yet begun to clear his name.
Saving people to the end, sending Buddha to the West, Ah Wei is still willing to form a good relationship. Since Zhao has arranged such a job, he will definitely help Ah Ming clear his name and stand up for it afterwards.
Isn't it time for him to show up and take sides?
Of course, his trademark as a great director is easy to use. He showed goodwill and good intentions in the communication. It was a trivial matter to ask Liu Ximing for dinner. After booking a restaurant, Ah Wei thought about it, picked up the phone and called again.
Deng Yurong, "Brother Darong, you said that since Pan Asia has ordered Xiao Nisheng, should we also send Shao Guohua to grow potatoes??"
"Giving one person is a gift, and giving two is also a gift. After all, the magazine was opened by two people together. The ones who contributed the most money and connections were Huang Sheng, Lao Nisheng and others, but they were mainly responsible for the creation of the magazine, printing and sales, etc.
, a little Ni can’t deal with so many things.”
The voice of Deng Yurong, who was still drunk, was heard from the other side soon, "Yes, you didn't mention it and I forgot about it. Let's arrange for someone to send it to you in two days. Sending that Ah Hua away won't alarm anyone at all. I can just arrange it casually."
.”
“How is it possible that Siberia is so big and cannot accommodate two people growing potatoes?”
Dai Rong certainly knows how to do this kind of icing on the cake, "Let's get together tonight. I heard that Wang Jiawei, whom Andy Lau favored, has an idea for a new movie called Days of Being Wild. He seems to have a head start."
"Wang Jiawei is very talented, but he is often well-received but not popular, which makes Andy Lau not dare to invest heavily. I want to try to ride a wave of success, and by the way, Awei, you can also help me check it."
Although his film company has made a lot of money in recent years by making various movies such as "Crazy Coke" and Ni Sheng's salty and romantic movies, Deng Yurong still has the heart of a true filmmaker.
.
After all, he was also one of the three major literary and artistic male gods in the 1970s. They were both involved in the film and television industry. He and Wang Yu were much more successful than Xiang Laoshi.
He and Wanwan Shuangqin, including Qin Xianglin, who is his sworn sworn brother, are known as the three male gods of literature and art. He has made so much money, and he also wants to gain honor. Wang Jiawei is good, and he is a new adventurer that he admires very much.
One of the bubblers.
The other party's film (Carmen in Mongkok) was indeed well-received and moderately successful. At least it did not cause Andy Lau's film company to lose any money. It is already the best-selling among all the films produced by Wang Jiawei, with a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
Although in the original track, (Carmen in Mongkok) only had a box office of over 11 million in Hong Kong, in this dimension, when the movie was filmed, both Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung were not as popular as the original track. They were much more popular than the original track.
Deng Yurong found out. For his new work (Days of Being Wild), Lao Wang wants to make a big production. He wants to invite Zhang Guorong, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui and other people to star together. The heroine should preferably be Zhou Haimei or Lan Jieying.
