Chapter 325: Tsui Hark's Conflict
"Sister Fangfang, I wish you success in your studies and may you still be a queen when you return!"
"Hahaha, I accept your good advice!"
At the entrance of the restaurant at night, the main creator of "The Love of Ghosts" finished his dinner.
In addition to Chen Qi, Tsui Hark, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong, Xiao Fangfang, Shi Nansheng and Qiu Shuzhen were also called. Xiao Fangfang was going to study in the United States and would not come back until the year after next, so she didn't care about making leftist films, so she waved her hand and left.
Chen Qi held Tsui Hark's car window again and whispered: "Does Xinyi City know that you are going to Cannes?"
"Of course I don't know! I'm not going to be with you. I just want to see the reaction of the foreign audience with my own eyes."
"That's a bit of a cover-up, isn't it? As a director, won't you attend the premiere?"
“We’ll talk about it then, we’ll talk about it then!”
Tsui Hark obviously didn't think about what to do, so he impulsively decided to go to Cannes. Chen Qi had to say to Shi Nansheng: "If you have any trouble, come to me, I should be able to handle it!"
"You drag people into the water, of course I'm looking for you, bye!"
Shi Nansheng smiled, started the car and drove away.
"Hua Zai, remember to learn to sing well, I will take the exam when you come back!"
Chen Qi put Liu Dehua into the taxi again, turned to Liang Jiahui and said, "Jiahui, is Director Li Hanxiang looking for you?"
"I found it. Let's go to the capital and have some fun."
"Just for fun? He is asking you to film a movie. He is preparing two Qing palace dramas and wants you to play the role of Emperor Xianfeng. Maybe he will ask you to read history books as soon as you go. You will also have to learn horse riding and etiquette. It will be troublesome. very."
"Filming?"
Liang Jiahui was still in the dark, but quickly shrugged: "Just shoot, I don't care."
"The person who plays Ci Xi is called Liu Xiaoqing. We are from Beijing Film Studio. The environment in mainland China is special and different from that in Hong Kong. You are my nephew. If you want to know more about it, we can chat when you have time."
"Mr. Chen, stop telling such bad jokes. It's not funny at all."
Liang Jiahui was speechless. This guy was good at everything but liked to recognize his nephew everywhere, so he took a taxi and left.
Chen Qi looked at the remaining large and small red beans, summoned Gundam, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you home!"
The three of them got into the car and crowded in the back seat.
Zhong Chuhong wanted to say something, but she couldn't. Moreover, Qiu Shuzhen chattered and refused to give him a chance. She kept saying: "This is my first time going abroad, and it's going to France. France is said to be very romantic. Where is Cannes? Is there any Delicious?”
"It's a small seaside town with beautiful scenery and delicious food. The main reason is that celebrities from all over the world will come, and you have to walk on the red carpet. Hey, I'll teach you a trick. You'll fall down halfway. It will definitely make headlines.”
"You think I'm stupid, I'm a middle school student!"
Qiu Shuzhen didn't believe it at all, and then she felt worried again: "Are we still going to walk on the red carpet? What should I wear? I'm wearing rags. Isn't it embarrassing?"
"I have already prepared it for you. A very beautiful dress. I will bring it to you tomorrow."
"Hee, I knew you loved me!"
Chen Qi rubbed her head, and Qiu Shuzhen rubbed her arm. The master-disciple relationship was deep.
Zhong Chuhong rolled her eyes. Fortunately, Qiu Shuzhen's home arrived first and got out of the car first, then drove towards Chungking Mansion.
The journey was very short, and we arrived in the blink of an eye. The car stopped. Chen Qi looked at the dark building and smiled: "It was a pleasure cooperating with you this time. Are you going back to Shaw Brothers next?"
"Asking questions knowingly!"
"Then I will..."
"Hey, don't come to unite with me again!"
"I wish you a prosperous career, and you can't be more prosperous than Zhong Chuhong!"
Zhong Chuhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and kept nodding: "No one can be more popular than Zhong Chuhong... These words are so majestic. I like it. You can also say it! Okay, I'm leaving too. Thank you very much for your words." Send me some time.”
She got out of the car.
Chen Qi shouted: "Hey, be careful in the future!"
"You don't have to worry, I'll buy a car and drive it myself when I become famous!"
Zhong Chuhong didn't look back, she just raised her right hand and waved, twisting her plump and beautiful butt, and entered Chungking Mansions.
Chen Qi was still fine. Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng stared at each other with their eyes still cold and cool. They sighed silently in their hearts: Alas, this woman is really nice. It's a pity that she can't see her anymore!
…………
Mai Jia's home, study room.
This study room is the famous "Struggle Room" of Xinyi City. Here, the seven-person team had countless brainstormings, came up with good ideas one after another, and then produced many high-quality photos.
The three bosses, Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, were here first, chatting about the situation of the Falklands War.
After a while, Zeng Zhiwei also arrived.
Tsang Chi-wai used to be a member of the Hong Kong youth football team, and also represented Hong Kong in playing games in South Korea. He later entered the film and television industry, starting with Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts, and gradually climbed up to assistant director, director, and also wrote scripts.
He has a lot of cleverness and can devise some funny plots. He has known Hong Jinbao and Mai Jia for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng also arrived.
"Hey, what a rare visitor!"
"Long time no see!"
“I thought you were going to join the left!”
Mai Jia and others joked that Tsui Hark had been filming for the leftists since he finished filming "Ghosts" and "The Orphan" and "The Love of Ghosts". It has been a long time since he participated in the discussion.
"Hey, hey, it was you who begged him to film in the first place, and now you are making sarcastic remarks?" Shi Nansheng naturally protected her husband.
"You're kidding! We had no choice at the beginning. Now it's good. We have opened a branch in Taiwan and have a good relationship with them. We don't have to worry about blackmail or nonsense from mainlanders."
"I know you've been working hard. We don't have to care about them anymore. Let's just do our own business... Come on, welcome back both of you!"
Mai Jia comforted Tsui Hark and clapped his hands first, and the others also cooperated.
"Let's get started!"
"I have solid news. Golden Harvest is very dissatisfied with being killed by us and is determined to fight back. Sammo Hung wants to transform and make modern films. I heard that he is preparing. Naturally, we have to come up with a response plan."
"Why not make a martial arts film?" Tsui Hark suggested first.
"We have no experience in martial arts films. The risk is too great. I don't think it will work."
"I don't agree either. Let's stick with the genre we are best at!"
"Then let's make "Best Partner 2". Is that even worth thinking about?"
With just a few words, martial arts films were rejected. Tsui Hark sighed. He had a problem with Cinema City. It wasn't that the spoils were divided unfairly, but that he felt it was too utilitarian. They only wanted to make the same type of films and refused to diversify.
And he was a man with ideas and liked to try new things.
"Best Partner 2" was quickly decided, and the stage of brainstorming the story quickly began. Huang Baiming pressed the recorder to record the conversations of everyone. Afterwards, it had to be sorted into text and then written into a script.
Once the script is finalized, it cannot be changed.
For example, when inviting a director from outside to shoot, the seven-member team often sends one person as the producer. The director cannot change a scene, otherwise he will be driven away in minutes, and the producer will direct it himself.
Because the seven people are all-rounders, they are not afraid of you giving up.
This is the model of Cinema City.
Tsui Hark also joined in the discussion of "Best Partner 2", but he was a bit lazy, so no one paid attention to it, thinking that he was a bit tired after filming two movies in a row.
The discussion lasted until dawn.
Seven people smoked, and the study was full of smoke and the air was very bad. They were used to it. Huang Baiming put away the tape and prepared to take it back to sort it out. Mai Jia said, "Continue tonight, don't be late, let's go!"
It takes at least 2-3 days, and at most a week for a script to be formed.
Several people responded and went home yawning.
