Chapter 278 Visiting
"..."
Xiao Fangfang lowered her head and said nothing.
Shi Hui didn't say anything, and wiped Fu Mingxian's mouth again, showing all kinds of affection. Fu Mingxian is very scary, mom! Can’t I see the sun tomorrow?
After a while, Shi Huicai continued: "You have everything now. You have a career, fame, wealth, a family, a husband who loves you, and a lovely daughter. You are right to want to study more.
But have you ever thought about it, you are 35 years old this year, and you will be 37 years old when you finish school. There are not many roles that female stars of this age can portray. Your transformation into comedy is great, but it is difficult to produce high-quality comedy. This drama of mine is definitely a work that can make you go further.
You have listened to your mother for half your life, and you do whatever she says. Now you can't make your own decisions? Don't you have any ideas of your own? "
"But, but on the right side..."
"If you are afraid that the rightists will cause trouble, then you are worrying too much. Anyway, you are going abroad. How can they go to the United States to find you? You will come back in two years. I don't know what will change by then. China and Britain will have to negotiate. !”
Shi Hui looked at her and finally said: "I found you. If anyone really makes things difficult for you, I will risk my life to protect you."
"Sister Hui!"
Xiao Fangfang also looked at her. Although she had a rough life, she was also proud of her achievements, but these were nothing compared to Shi Hui.
Shi Hui stood up to the British Hong Kong government and was arrested and imprisoned!
Women appreciate each other, this is not the fairy in the Little Red Book...
"I, let me read the script first!"
Xiao Fangfang finally relaxed, and Shi Hui laughed and took out the prepared script.
""The Love Between Ghosts"? You want me to play a ghost?"
"I'll let you play the role of the goddess. Let's take it home and watch it. Your role is super interesting!"
Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time, talking about their husbands, life, shopping for clothes and cosmetics, and it took a long time before they broke up.
Fu Mingxian followed his mother out, always wondering: "Mom, why did you take me with you when we were talking about things today?"
"Because you are important and you have made a contribution. Let's go and buy you an ice cream."
Shi Hui pinched her daughter's cheek, Fu Mingxian frowned, I can also make meritorious deeds by eating!
…………
Clearwater Bay studio.
In the office, Chen Qi was writing an article for "Wen Wei Po". He was paid for his writing, 200 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words, which was better than nothing. It was all used to corrupt Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng.
When Liang Jiahui set up a street stall, "Wenhui Po" also came to help him and opened a column for him called "Achievements with a Bright Pen".
Each article has a few hundred words. Sometimes when inspiration strikes, he can write more than a dozen articles a day at a cost of 200 yuan per 1,000 words. He continued writing for more than 20 years until the editor who invited him retired.
"The dust has settled on the Spring Festival season, and "The Best Partner" dominates Hong Kong!"
"Hong Kong society is changing, and the movie-going public is getting younger. The movies produced in New Art City are foreign-style and innovative, while Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest still cling to half-established traditions. They deserve to be disliked by the audience.
I have long said that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest should join forces, but I refused to listen. After the disastrous failure of the Spring Festival show, you will finally join forces now, open theaters to each other, and make each other's films, but it is actually useless. If your production ideas do not change, you If you can't beat Xinyi City, you'll lose ugly at most..."
Chen Qi has finished writing the article and will send it to Wenhui Daily.
He wandered downstairs and arrived at the post-production room next to the studio. Tsui Hark was inside.
Without saying anything, the two of them sat down and watched the rough cut of "Orphans" together.
The effect is pretty good. It has all the suspense and thriller atmosphere it deserves. It takes Esther's strange behavior and his wife's investigation as the main line, slowly unfolds, and finally reveals the truth:
She is actually a sick adult Japanese, whose real name is Ishikawa Mio!
Mio Ishikawa is great!
After looking at the rough cut, Chen Qi nodded, affirmed, and said, "Director Xu, I have another movie here. Do you want to try it?"
"..."
Tsui Hark rolled his eyes and said, "Please! I'm still the director of Xinyi City. You come to me for one movie after another. How can I get along in the company?"
"Anyway, you are already in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty. What is the difference between one film and two films?"
Chen Qi came closer and said with devilish temptation: "And my movie has special effects. It needs the highest level of special effects!"
Tsui Hark trembled.
"I also want to find a Hollywood team to come over. Although it may only be a few seconds of footage, don't you want to try?"
Tsui Hark trembled again.
I couldn't help but ask: "What show?"
"It's a ghost love story. I'm worried about how to shoot some shots. For example, how can the ghost's body pass through obstacles in a natural and beautiful way? Oh, it's really annoying!"
As he spoke, he also made movements as if his body was going to pass through.
Tsui Hark gives people the impression that he only shoots costume dramas, but that's not the case. He also does modern dramas very well, such as "The Dark Knight", "Man-Han Banquet", "Double Dragon Club" and so on.
He is a guy who is obsessed with special effects. He has always been separated from New Art City in his heart. He just wanted to see the results of "Orphan" overseas.
When I thought about it, "Orphan" will be released in May. It doesn't matter if I make another one. If it works, I can join the team. If it doesn't work, I can get together and break up. I asked: "What is the script about?"
Chen Qi immediately spoke briefly.
"Who is the hero?"
"Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui are both newcomers."
"Who is that goddess? She is the key."
"It's done. We found Josephine Siao!"
Hmm?
Tsui Hark's eyes lit up. This casting was so good. He asked again, "Where's the heroine?"
"I was just about to find her."
"Just about to find her?"
"Yes, go next door! You're busy first. I'm leaving."
He left as soon as he said he would.
He called Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng, and without taking a car, he strolled out of the studio. He walked north for a while and arrived at Shaw's territory.
There were security guards at the door. From a distance, he saw three inexplicable guys wandering over. They didn't know what they were talking about. They came up and asked, "Sir, is there anything? This is a studio. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"Neighbors are not outsiders, right?"
"Neighbors?"
"Next door, Fang Yihua is there, right?"
"Next----!"
The man reacted with a start. Isn't that the leftist? !
"Sir, may I ask who you are?"
"Chen Qi!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask for instructions!"
The other party went into his small room, dialed the phone, and looked out while talking. Chen Qi waited boredly. You said this guy didn't look down on people, let me slap him in the face or something.
Not long after, he came out and opened the door: "Mr. Chen, please come in!"
"Thank you!"
This was the first time Chen Qi came to visit his neighbor's house. He looked around. The area here was much larger than the leftist's. More than a dozen studios were arranged neatly. The post-production area, main building, canteen, and dormitory were in good order. The style of the movie kingdom in the past can still be seen.
This large studio system is similar to domestic production studios in some aspects. It also produces according to the plan every year, with fixed wages. The big director has his own team, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all included.
The factory area is full of staff coming and going, and the actors are running around in ancient costumes.
When Chen Qi arrived at the main building, a receptionist was already standing at the door of the building. He guided him up and came to an office where his heroine was sitting... Ugh! No way.
Sitting there was the head of Shaw Brothers’ production department, Run Run Shaw’s concubine. Yes, she hadn’t been officially promoted yet.
Fang Yihua!
