Chapter 756 Must Get Off to a Good Start
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.
"Black Man" returned to Hong Kong in November, just before the Northeast became cold. First, he took a plane from Dalian to Shanghai, and then to Hong Kong. Chen Qi came and went again and again, but he didn't go home. In ancient times, Dayu controlled floods, but now there are factories making films...
When taking off, Tsui Hark looked at the city with reluctance and sighed: "I will come again if I have the chance. It will be beautiful to go to Changhai County in the summer."
"There are so many places you want to go, so save it!"
Chen Qi leaned back and prepared to take a nap, but he didn't sleep well during this period.
Tsui Hark shook his head, feeling that this person could write extremely delicate love stories, but he was not sentimental at all in life, which was very contradictory. It was boring with no one to chat with, so he took out a magazine and read it.
As he watched, the guy next to him suddenly said again: "What are you going to do for the next part?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Then let me give you an idea, how about "Liao Zhai"?"
""Liao Zhai"?"
Tsui Hark became interested and asked: "Which one should I shoot?"
"Do you know Li Hanxiang's "A Chinese Ghost Story"? The scholar and the female ghost have a lot of stories. Yan Chixia in it can also be perfected. With some stunts, I will find two pretty boys and girls for you. It will be another good drama!"
In the 1960s, Li Hanxiang filmed a movie called "A Chinese Ghost Story", in which Lettie played Nie Xiaoqian.
Tsui Hark is a remake.
He is very good at putting new wine in old bottles and has remade several movies, such as "New Dragon Inn".
At this moment, when Chen Qi mentioned it, he quickly asked: "Which one is the pretty boy and the pretty girl?"
"How about Leslie Cheung playing Ning Caichen?"
"He can! Where is Nie Xiaoqian?"
"I don't have a clue yet. I'll look for it later. Since you're interested, it's decided that the next drama will be "A Chinese Ghost Story."
Chen Qi waved his hand and squinted again.
Tsui Hark started to think that Leslie Cheung had handsome features and a soft temperament, so he was very suitable to play the scholar. Who is Nie Xiaoqian looking for? Zhong Chuhong, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Saifeng, Zhou Huimin, Xia Wenxi?
He passed the left-wing female stars over and over, and they seemed to be able to perform, but they all seemed to be a little bit worse.
As a result, the scope of the product expanded even more, and my thoughts even spread to Japan. I felt that Akina Nakamori could also be tried and open up the Japanese market. Japanese music supports half of the Chinese music scene. Hong Kong and Taiwan are very familiar with the Japanese music scene, and Tsui Hark is a fan of Akina Nakamori.
Chen Qi's few words cheered him up, so he simply took out a pen and paper and began to think about Nie Xiaoqian's image design. It should be pure, beautiful, sexy, good-looking...it's hard to find!
…………
After hard work, the filming of "Black Man" is almost complete, and there are still some fragmentary shots left to complete.
Although Chen Qi is planning to cooperate with Hollywood companies and act as a distribution agent, he also wants to take this film to participate in next year's Cannes Film Festival to raise his profile. Because outside of the North American market, you still have to sell the copyright.
After receiving Gong Xue's letter, he immediately ran to the Jiahe studio.
In the screening room, "Police Story" came to an end.
The tone of this film is actually very depressing. The villain, with the help of a criminal, forges evidence to clear his name, and even bites the protagonist. The protagonist had no choice but to use violence to fight violence. Even at the end, the villain was not punished by the law, but was beaten by the protagonist.
Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and Cheng Long were all there.
My face looked happy and my confidence increased greatly, especially the several thrilling scenes in the film: a car drove down a hillside full of wooden houses, Cheng Long slid down a five-story light pole, and the glass shattered all over the floor...
Definitely rare on the market.
When the lights came back on, several people applauded first. Zou Wenhuai was quite proud and asked: "How do you feel, Mr. Chen? I heard that your "Black Man" has also been completed, and it is all big scenes?"
"We can't compare. Li Lianjie can't do this kind of action. Their styles are different. I regretted "Black Man" because I didn't take it hard. At the end of the filming, Tsui Hark and I both wanted to give up. You guys are so awesome. 40 million is no problem!”
whispering sound!
Zou Wenhuai didn't believe a word of it and asked: "In your opinion, can "Police Story" be released in the mainland?"
"It should be almost the same!"
"Should? This kind of thing needs to be accurate!"
"Nine times out of ten, the remaining part lies in communication. Don't worry, leave it to me. I can only delete a few scenes, but it won't affect the whole film," said Chen Qi.
If in later generations, "Police Story" would not be available.
How to fight violence with violence?
Chen Jiaju can fight villains, but he must not fight hard. At least he must add a line of subtitles: With Chen Jiaju's unremitting efforts, enough evidence has been collected to bring him to justice.
But in this day and age, it is possible.
"Boss Zou, are you really not planning to release it in North America?" Chen Qi asked.
"Sigh, the poor performance of "Pop" will definitely affect "Police Story"."
"You can leave the videotape to me as an agent. Anyway, Jiahe sells copyrights. I'm currently expanding video tape distribution channels."
"Okay, let's discuss the details in detail."
Zou Wenhuai nodded.
Jiahe's video tape business has just started, and it has no distribution capabilities.
He is a very contradictory person. He is one of the few bosses in Hong Kong who has the courage to enter Hollywood, but he is also very self-deprecating. For example, Golden Harvest's American branch hired a group of foreigners to manage it.
As long as Hollywood movies are being made, the branch office has a greater say than the head office, which is unheard of. Cheng Long's early career in Hollywood was not smooth, and Zou Wenhuai personally bears a large responsibility.
At this moment, he asked: "Mr. Chen, it's the end of the year soon. When will the third round of consultations start? Will there be any changes?"
“No, no! We will discuss next month. You will probably get the news in a few days.”
“Wait until next month? This matter has been discussed for a year?”
Zou Wenhuai was speechless.
In fact, the content is not complicated, but the mainland has been studying it repeatedly from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
“You don’t understand. Putting the third round of consultations at the end of the year just proves that the matter has been settled. We usually put things that have been decided on at the end of the year and formally sign them, and then implement them in the second year.
It just so happens that I have to go home at the end of the year, and I will go with you.”
Chen Qi explained and suddenly called out: “By the way, A Long!”
Cheng Long twitched his mouth.
Only Zou Wenhuai and Ho Kuan Chang called him A Long, because of his age and status. Chen Qi was 6 years younger than him, so he also called him A Long, and he had to listen.
"I plan to arrange "Police Story" during the Spring Festival. CCTV has a Spring Festival Gala every year, which is the stage with the greatest exposure. You are not popular enough in the mainland, how about going on the Spring Festival Gala?"
"..."
Cheng Long glanced at the two people, and saw Ho Kuan Chang nodded slightly, and said: "Okay! What should I perform?"
"Sing "True Hero" and then do a martial arts. Then I will accompany you to Guangdong Province to promote it, and we must get a good start!"
(No more, I will make it up tomorrow!
A group has been blocked, and I don't know what you chat about all day, I will create another one)
