Chapter 1777 1779 [Newcomer Wang Jing]
Thinking of Xiang Nan's terrifying skill, that he might die without knowing why, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but start to feel terrified.
"Raimeng, Ning Wei's skill, you and I both know it. A pair of fleshy palms can open monuments and crack stones. You really don't need a second move to kill people. If you really offend him, our lives may be in danger." Cai Yongchang persuaded, "Since this is the case, don't use force. Let's do what he says."
"Yes, after all, life is at stake." He Guanchang also persuaded.
Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to nod his head.
Originally thought that Xiang Nan was a martial artist from the mainland, alone, with no one to rely on, and he could let himself be flattened and rounded. Unexpectedly, he was so powerful, like a ghost, not only not threatened, but threatened himself instead.
I really capsized in the gutter this time, fighting geese all day long but being pecked by geese.
Afterwards, Zou Wenhuai returned all the dividends that belonged to Real Kung Fu Pictures to Real Kung Fu. This amount of money was as much as 36 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows how greedy he is.
At the same time, he personally apologized to Warner executives, saying that this cooperation was his mistake, and he was willing to bear certain responsibilities and compensations in order to maintain the relationship between Golden Harvest and Warner.
Even so, Warner is still not satisfied.
Because it has been evaluated internally, a youth school action movie like "Longwei Boy" is likely to get a high box office. After all, "Rocky" comes first, and this kind of inspirational and growth-themed movies are currently very popular.
But now because the script was withdrawn, such a good project had to be suspended. Not only did Warner lose a blockbuster film, but what was even more troublesome was that it had to compensate the producers, directors, actors, and other crew members for losses.
As a result, Warner's direct loss exceeded five million dollars. Indirect losses may even reach tens of millions of dollars.
Even if Golden Harvest is willing to take responsibility and compensate for the losses, how much money can they get? ! It really doesn't make sense!
…
Just when Golden Harvest and Warner were torn apart, Xiang Nan also made Zhu Mu's last movie - "Tongtian Boy Red Gunman".
But this time he learned how to behave, so he played a small role for a long time, so that Zhu Mu would not make a fuss about him again.
Because Zhu Mu's movies are of average quality. Bearing his name, although he can sell more money, it also overdraws his box office appeal.
It's like "The Hotel Where the Sun Never Sets" selling money under the banner of Shen Ting. In name, it is the third male supporting role, the most important role. As a result, Shen Ting himself didn't appear in the role, so a humanoid stand poked there.
Shen Ting's fans were lured into the theater in this way, and they were naturally disappointed to see this scene. What they did was gain a lot of wisdom, and when they saw the words [starred by Shen Ting] in the future, they would naturally not buy tickets in the first place.
After finishing the film, he and Zhu Mu's account was completely settled.
"Thank you Ning Wei, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Zhu Mu said while shaking his hand.
"You're welcome, I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to come to Xiangjiang." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I also hope to cooperate with you again in the future."
…
After guest-starring in this movie, Xiang Nan then accepted the invitation of First Film Corporation to film the Kung Fu movie "Fearless" for them with a salary of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars.
He learns from the pain, learns martial arts from Huang Feihong, but in the end he defeats his opponent and avenges his brother by virtue of his unintentional laundry skills.
Xiang Nan thinks this script is very innovative. Although it is still a routine of enmity, martial arts, and revenge, it is old wine in new bottles and does not follow the stereotypes.
After inquiring, he found out that the script was actually written by Wang Jing.
"No wonder~" Xiang Nan laughed.
Wang Jing is a genius screenwriter, "God of Gamblers" series, "Hardcover Chasing Girls" series, "Deer and Ding Tale" series, "Best Lost Friend" series, "Play Back to School" series...all are written by him.
He himself said that he is a first-rate screenwriter, a second-rate director, and a third-rate actor. The screenwriter's kung fu is more powerful than the director's kung fu.
…
The filming of "Fearless" started immediately.
Xiang Nan took the time to make an appointment with Wang Jing.
Wang Jing was only twenty-five years old at this time, in the prime of his youth. Although he was a little fat, he not only looked greasy, but also looked gentle, soft and weak.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I read the script you wrote. It is very well written and very talented. I admire you very much." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Thank you, thank you. Mr. Ning, I also like your movie very much. It is so well shot and so beautiful." Wang Jing laughed immediately after hearing it.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan nodded, "I heard that Mr. Wang Tianlin, the great director, is your father?"
Wang Tianlin is a very experienced director who has already started filming in the 1950s. Later, after the decline of Cantonese films, he entered TVB to work, and made "Lu Xiaofeng", "Chu Liuxiang", "The King of Thousand Kings", "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Condor Heroes" ", "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and other classic dramas, there are countless superstars who have become popular, so they are affectionately called Uncle Tianlin.
"Yes, he is my father." Wang Jing nodded.
"It really is a family of film and television, and the family has a long history." Xiang Nan laughed, "I wonder if Mr. Wang is interested in directing besides screenwriting?"
"Director?!" Wang Jing was taken aback.
Although the script is called the script of a play, the status of the screenwriter should be very high. But in fact, in the Xiangjiang film industry, the status of screenwriters is very low.
On the one hand, Xiangjiang film industry is not formal. Before filming started, there was even an idea, not a complete script. Many of the scripts are written on the spot, so the status of screenwriters cannot be designated high.
On the one hand, even if there is a script, it will be changed and changed. Anyone who thinks of a good plot can make suggestions. If applicable, it will be amended immediately.
For example, in "Mr. Zombie", the setting that people hold their breath when encountering zombies, so that they will not be discovered by zombies, is the setting that the crew members thought of unintentionally when they were idle and bored and playing games in the hotel. After joining, it really caused a lot of jokes, and even became the basic setting of zombie movies.
Since everyone can be a screenwriter and everyone is a screenwriter, then the screenwriter is naturally irrelevant. Therefore, in Xiangjiang, the status of screenwriters is very low. Not only are they not respected, but they are often deducted.
So well-written screenwriters are all writers, and good directors are directors. When you are a director yourself, it is easier to stand out.
Wang Jing naturally also has a dream of being a director, but no one is willing to give it to him.
After all, for a movie, no matter how small the investment is, there are hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. At that time, you could buy a luxury house in the middle of the mountain, and who would dare to hand it over to a newcomer.
