962 [Good Friends]

"I have admired Mr. Liu, you have also admired the name for a long time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Summer smiled slightly, ""Murder List", "Burning Youth", "Killing Out of Xiyingpun"...... These movies are all produced by you, yes, all of them are wonderful. ”

The films he mentioned were all produced by Century Film Company, and they were all classics of the new era of Hong Kong films, and they were all sensational.

"I was just starting out in the industry and didn't know anything. When Liu Zhenwei heard this, he said modestly.

Century Film Company, formerly known as a financial company, invested in movies when it saw that the Hong Kong film market was good. Liu Zhenwei was the manager of the finance company at the time, so he took the opportunity to become the general manager of the film company. Although he holds the title of executive producer, he is not actually involved in the creation of films, but is mainly in charge of administration and finance.

But after making more movies and having more contact with people in the film industry, he finally became interested in movies. After that, Century Film Company closed, and he did not go back to finance, but continued to devote himself to the film industry.

Summer smiled, "Later, the script you wrote was also good, "Dragon and Phoenix Wisdom and Many Stars", "Little Fox Fairy", "Imposter Thief", ...... I've seen them all, and they're all good. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your compliment. However, I co-wrote those scripts with others, not entirely my own work. Liu Zhenwei said humbly.

Summer was stunned for a moment, then laughed. This grape is so interesting.

Others hate to take all the credit for themselves, but he is good, and he is very modest. I don't know whether to praise him for being really good, or to call him stupid.

"Anyway, I think you're a talent, and I want to invite you to join our World Pictures, what do you think?" Xia asked with a smile.

"I think it's good. Liu Zhenwei said briskly, "I just don't have a place to go now, if Mr. Xia is willing to take it in, of course it would be great." ”

"Why, aren't you at Yongjia Film Company now?" Xia asked suspiciously.

He remembered that Liu Zhenwei was a screenwriter for Chen Xunqi, why did he say that there was no place to go now?

"Mr. Xia, don't you know that Yongjia Film Company is going to close. Liu Zhenwei explained.

"Really, what's going on?" Summer was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly asked.

"That's the ......" Liu Zhenwei asked, and then tactfully explained the reason.

……

It turns out that Yongjia Film Company is the satellite company of Golden Princess, just like Baohe and Weihe are to Golden Harvest Pictures. Yongjia made a movie with the help of the Golden Princess's funds, and then released it in the Golden Princess Theater, and everyone made money together.

Chen Xunqi, the owner of Yongjia Company, is a talent, a writer and director, and has made a lot of acclaimed and popular movies, such as "Beware of Little Hands", which pioneered urban action films, the psychedelic romance film "Little Fox Fairy", the police film "Dragon and Phoenix Zhi Duoxing" and so on, which are very remarkable.

But people miss, and horses leak. Last year, Chen Xunqi's "Evil Man", "Sweet Sixteen", "Fake Thief", etc., were dismal at the box office after their launch, causing strong dissatisfaction from the parent company Golden Princess.

Because of the rapid rise of this dark horse in the past two summers, the golden princess, who was once in the limelight in her previous life, has not had a good time in the past two years. In particular, the early division of the new art city made it even worse, and there was a financial crisis.

In this case, of course, Princess Jin was very dissatisfied with Chen Xunqi, who had suffered a large loss. And Chen Xunqi is also a red-faced man, since Princess Jin is dissatisfied with him and can no longer cooperate happily, fortunately he decided to turn off Yongjia. Anyway, he is a movie wizard, and he doesn't have to worry about running out of food anywhere.

As soon as Yongjia closed the door, he suffered employees like Liu Zhenwei. He hasn't made a name for himself yet, just a little-known screenwriter.

And people like him in the Hong Kong film industry don't have 1,000 but 800, and they can't be seen at all, so if he doesn't look for him in the summer, Liu Zhenwei really has to worry about his future livelihood.

"Uh, Yongjia is really closing?" asked Xia in disbelief after listening to Liu Zhenwei's account.

Yongjia Film Company has always been good at producing films with urban themes, with action, love, funny, fresh style, positive thoughts, which is very suitable for the taste of young people.

I didn't expect such a company to close down, which is really regrettable.

"Yes, now Brother Qi is accounting with Princess Jin, and it is estimated that it will be closed in half a month. Liu Zhenwei nodded.

"Then do you know where Mr. Chen Xunqi will go next?" Xia quickly asked curiously when he heard this.

Chen Xunqi is a genius in the Hong Kong film industry, writing and directing, producer, soundtrack, martial arts, speed car director, etc., almost all-round.

There is a saying that praises him so much, "Chen Xunqi is recognized as a Hong Kong film all-rounder, he is the best soundtrack among Hong Kong directors, the best producer in the soundtrack, the best speed car director in production, the best screenwriter in speed car coaching, one of the most famous actors in screenwriting, and one of the most successful directors among actors." ”

If this all-rounder can be introduced into the company, it will certainly be a very good thing for Tianxia Pictures.

"I don't know, it seems that I will go to Brother Hong Jingbao's Baohe. Liu Zhenwei scratched his head and said.

"Well, in this case, you go back and help me ask him, would you like to come to our World Pictures? I am in urgent need of manpower now, and I promise not to treat him badly. Summer thought for a moment.

……

"Okay. Liu Zhenwei nodded, and then said cautiously, "Ah, Mr. Xia, if you want to recruit people, I also have a friend who is more talented than me and writes better scripts than me, and I have learned a lot from him." ”

"Oh, who is that person you are talking about?" Xia asked with a smile, wondering if it could be Wang Jiawei?

"His name is Wang Jiawei. Sure enough, I heard Liu Zhenwei speak.

When Xia heard this, he smiled slightly, it was really him.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei were a pair of good friends in the Hong Kong film industry in their previous lives, the two worked together in Xinyi City, and then went to Yongjia together, and then went to Yingzhijie, and then formed Zedong Film Company...... We have worked together for more than 20 years. And most of the time, it was Liu Zhenwei who helped Wang Jiawei wipe his buttocks.

The most typical examples are "East Evil and West Poison" and "East Becomes West". The reason why Liu Zhenwei will shoot "East Becomes West" is because Wang Jiawei's "East Evil and West Poison" has not been filmed for more than a year, and the financier can't wait and is furious. So Liu Zhenwei had to shoot a "East Becomes West" first to cope.

Later, Zedong Film Company was formed, and Wang Jiawei's filming of "2046" started filming in 99 and was not officially released until 04. During this period, in order to maintain the operation of the company, Liu Zhenwei, who had immigrated to Canada and enjoyed the joy of family, was forced to go out of the mountain to help his old friend direct "Unparalleled in the World", and made a sum of money, so that Zedong Film Company did not collapse.

So there is a saying in the Hong Kong film industry, "Find Wang Jiawei for awards, and find Liu Zhenwei for money." ”

"Invite him. Summer thought for a moment.

Although Wang Jiawei's filming speed is relatively slow, almost every one of them is a masterpiece.

"Carmen in Mong Kok", "The True Story of Ah Fei", "East Evil and West Poison", "In the Mood for Love", "Licking the Light", "Chongqing Forest", "Fallen Angel" ...... Every movie can stimulate the G-spot of literary and artistic youth and make them climax.

Although I am not very interested in literary films in the summer, I also know that if Hong Kong films want to develop, they must be full of flowers and a hundred schools of thought. Commercial films and literary films are indispensable.

In addition, his films have a good market overseas. Especially in Europe and South Korea, Wang Jiawei's movies are well received by fans and can also be sold at relatively high prices.

If it is like "East Evil and West Poison Ultimate Edition" in the previous life, it will be re-screened for the second time after editing, and it will also be able to achieve a very good box office. So if it works well, in fact, Wang Jiawei's movies rarely lose money.

In addition, Wang Jiawei's adjustment of actors is a must.

Before Zhang Manyu filmed "Mong Kok Carmen", she was playing roles such as vases. She said that it was Wang Jiawei who opened her mind and knew how to really act;

Liang Chaowei also gradually found his acting skills in cooperation with Wang Jiawei, and also won many actor awards; Zhang Guorong, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Jialing, Lin Qingxia, Faye Wong, Zhang Zhen...... Under Wang Jiawei's adjustment, the acting skills of these actors have been further improved.

Even Li Jiaxin, the vase in the vase, contributed the best acting skills in her career as an actor in "Fallen Angel" with him.

There are eight Academy Award winners and actresses who have been adjusted by Wang Jiawei, which is the most among all directors in Hong Kong. This is a terrifying record.

A director who can win awards, make money, adjust actors, and shoot good dramas, such a good director, of course is willing to accept it in the summer.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia. Liu Zhenwei heard it and said happily.

His friend Wang Jiawei is an unsociable person, and he does things slowly, grinding and chirping, delaying patients with advanced cancer. He was also fired by Huang Baiming because he was slow to write scripts.

So a character like Wang Jiawei is actually difficult to get out of the way, and no matter how talented he is, it's useless.

Because Hong Kong is a place where everything is fast, go to school quickly, graduate quickly, go to work quickly, make money quickly, get married quickly, have children quickly, and die quickly!

The Hong Kong film industry now only takes one or two months to make a movie, and if the script is not enough, it uses "flying paper", writing a little and shooting a little. Wang Jiawei will write a script for a month or two, which film company will stand him.

But Liu Zhenwei knew that he was really talented and didn't want him to be buried, so he helped and supported him everywhere, hoping that he could show his strengths.

Now that I heard that Summer had agreed to take him in, I was of course happy.

"Well, you're welcome. Summer waved his hand and said, "You are willing to join my World Pictures, and I want to thank you for your trust and support." (To be continued.) )
