Chapter 1017 Three Conditions (Part 2) (24)

Wen Jun studied under McDonald and came from Lai's TV screenwriting training class.

McDonald is unique in triggering the dark side of human nature, and Wen Jun has completely inherited this creative system.

In the 1980s, Wenjun wrote scripts for Mak, such as "Pretty Girl", "Unstoppable Love", "Heroes", and "Love in the Rivers and Lakes", and also worked for Debao.

After the 1990s, Wenjun left the Mai family and started his own business...

In fact, Mai's Pictures couldn't resist anymore...

——The two parts of "The Emperor of Shanghai" lost more than 40 million!

Unsustainable…

Wen Jun formed the "Best Partner" with Wang Jing and Liu Weiqiang. As a producer or screenwriter, he created the "Young and Dangerous" series, "The Thirteen Sisters of Hongxing", "The Hero of the Storm", "Heroes of China", etc. Commercial blockbuster, and later served as the chairman of the Academy Awards for two terms as the president of the Screenwriters Association.

He met Liu Xiaoqing and later invested in "Sunny Days"...

I heard Jiang Wen talk about "Sunshine". Halfway through filming, he ran out of money and the film was shut down.

Wen Jun didn't come to pay the bill, and he had no money. Later, someone brought news about Wen Jun. He was making money by acting in a Category III film in Hong Kong...

No kidding, literally!

Therefore, Jiang Wen has always respected him.

As for Lau Kwun Wai, he is the director of "Mr. Zombie", the pioneer of Hong Kong zombie movies!

Later, I filmed a large number of such themes, such as "Zombie Master", "Zombie Family", "Mr. Phantom", and later "New Mr. Zombie"...

In addition, zombie movies originated from Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fighter" trilogy. These movies basically laid the prototype of zombie movies, which were called fantasy kung fu movies at the time.

Lin Zhengying and Liu Guanwei are both from the Hong Family Class. Lin Zhengying is a dragon and tiger martial artist, and Liu Guanwei is a cameraman.

The first zombie film, "Mr. Zombie", was a project conceived and directed by Liu Guanwei. It is said that Liu Guanwei's uncle was a Taoist priest from Maoshan. Liu Guanwei had been influenced by it since he was a child, so he combined the ghost-exorcism magic of the Maoshan School with Sammo Hung's ghost films and conceived and organized it. The script of "Mr. Zombie" was supported and invested by Sammo Hung and his company Baohe...

Shen Xudong continued: "The first condition is that when you make a horror film, the story cannot take place in the Mainland, Hong Kong, preferably Southeast Asia, the United States, etc..."

"Then how to shoot? We can't be allowed to go to the United States!"

Zhong Lifang explained: "We have cooperation with many film and television companies in Thailand. If you go to Thailand to shoot, I guarantee that there will be no problems...and you won't spend too much money!"

"What about...the United States?"

"Independent films don't cost a lot...if your script passes the review, we will arrange a dedicated person to help you with it!"

Wen Jun: "The script still needs to be reviewed?"

Zhong Lifang: "Of course it needs to be reviewed...If you film it and we don't want it, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?"

"What about the second condition?"

"The second condition is that actors and screenwriters that we ban are not allowed to be used..."

"prohibit?"

"This involves politics. Zhong Lifang will send a document later. You can study it..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong went on to say the third condition: "I want you to make a statement..."

"What statement?"

"patriotic!"

2014 is a year worth writing home about.

Especially for Hong Kong, many things happened this year...

Shen Xudong must ensure that Jiahe is not involved, and that PPTV is not involved...

After all, Jiahe is in Hong Kong.

…

Reba does have a project when he comes to Hong Kong.

"Like You" and "Riding the Wind and Waves" were cast by Chen Kexin.

In the car, Shen Xudong showed her the original work of "I Like You", "Finally Waiting for You", and then said: "I want to find Takeshi Kaneshiro to act with you..."

"Jin Chengwu...he is so handsome!"

"Compared with me?"

Reba struggled for a while, choosing the latter between conscience and future: "...you are more handsome."

"Takeshi Kaneshiro is not as tall as me... but he usually only accepts roles from big directors and acquaintances come to him. Therefore, the producer of "Like You" is Chen Kexin..."

"What about this "Riding the Wind and Waves"?"

"This is a script I wrote when I was 19. It was written based on the framework of his "New Brothers in Trouble". Of course, I have to ask him to be the producer..."

"Wow, you're writing screenplays at 19?"

""No. 1 in the World" was written when I was 18 years old..."

"I was still in school when I was 18..."

"I'm also in school, but I've already started to become famous..."

At this time, the driver turned back: "Director Shen, we're here..."

"Thank you... Reba, get out of the car."

The appointment place was a private club...

Chen Kexin doesn't have many friends in Hong Kong, mainly because he is a relatively rational person and rarely drinks liquor.

Therefore, there was no liquor prepared in the small private room where the two met, but coffee.

Shen Xudong has always been in contact with Chen Kexin. They cooperated since the beginning of "The Investment Certificate" back then. Last year's "China Partner", Golden Harvest even invested one-third...

We had already talked on the phone and met in person. Chen Kexin saw Reba and said, "Is this the heroine of "I Like You"?"

"Well...I said I would find a beautiful woman for you, how about that?"

"...Will it be too hard?"

"Reba, act cute!"

Reba was stunned for a moment, then smiled...

The character design given to her by the company is that of a energetic girl. Since she is a girl, being cute is a must, so she just does it!

Chen Kexin smiled: "Okay, it's her...how tall are you?"

"About 1.65 meters..."

"That's good…"

"Isn't Jin Chengwu 1.8 meters tall?"

Chen Kexin was speechless: "Do you believe he is 1.8 meters tall?"

This topic stopped, Shen Xudong handed him three scripts: "The third one is "Thriller Examination House", a Korean comic, very interesting... See how you adapt it..."

"Korean comics?"

"Korean comics have implemented a rating system, and I bought a lot of copyrights. In addition to "Horror Examination", there are also "Sweet Home", "Seoul Station", "Walking on the Moon"..."

Chen Kexin nodded, and then handed Shen Xudong a script - "Sister Ling Makes a Trouble in Menggui Fang"...

Before Shen Xudong had time to look through it, Chen Kexin said: "This is a play directed by Wu Junru, and I will be her producer..."

"comedy?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and asked: "How much does it cost? Is it exclusively for the Hong Kong market or is it now making a difference in the mainland market?"

Chen Kexin: "Of course that is the mainland market!"

"Then it's best to ask a mainland comedy team to help polish it up. Happy Twist is pretty good..."

"Okay, I'll go to the BJ in two days and take her with me..."

While talking, Chen Kexin opened the script of "Riding the Wind and Waves", because Shen Xudong said that this script was plagiarized from "Brothers in Need", and he was very interested.

Chen Kexin quickly read the script and then asked: "There is no need to insert Ding Lei..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "Ding Lei? Didn't I change my name to Ma Huateng?"

"No...it's Ding Lei!"

"I wrote this in 2004, when Ding Lei was the richest man in China..."

"The founder of NetEase?"

"Yes...but now Ma Huateng is more famous..."
