I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 109 Zhang Sheng, You Are My Idol

After flipping through the script handed by his son, Fatty Wang read two pages, a familiar sense of sight emerged in his mind, he closed the script, and said to him, "Isn't this the TV series "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" filmed at the beginning of the year? ? Why do you have to write a play twice?"

"A Thousand Kings and Heroes" is a TV series directed by Du Qifeng and Wang Feibo, starring Xie Sige, Zhou Runfa, Wang Mingquan, Liu Zhaoming, Lu Youhui and other TVB crew. At that time, Wang Zai was the screenwriter, and now Wang Zai has handed over a Gambling film, the general plot has been changed, basically not changed much, the title of the film is called "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants".

Wang Jing can be said to be an expert in gambling movies. The wave of gambling movies in Hong Kong swept East Asia under the hands of Wang Zai. However, "God of Gamblers" did not become popular because of the appearance of "God of Gamblers". On the contrary, the popularity of "God of Gamblers" cannot be separated from Wang Zai cannot do without the accumulation of previous film gambling.

Faced with Lao Dou's questioning, Wang Jing shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said aloud: "One is a TV series and the other is a movie. Can the explanation be the same?"

"The ratings of "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" are good, and it is time to make a movie while the iron is hot."

The audience rating of "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" is still not as good as traditional martial arts dramas. The current martial arts drama market in Xiangjiang is still very large, but it has already proved the market for gambling movies.

Fatty Wang frowned and said, "The audience will scold you for plagiarism."

Wang Zai is confident and confident: "Copy yourself, if you click on the solution, it can be counted as copying!"

"Unreasonable!" Fatty Wang put on his slippers and walked to the dining table, where the food cooked by his wife was already set, but Wang Zai chased after him and said, "Old Dou, pass it to Uncle Six for me, Uncle Six must invest in the filming." of……"

"Your skills are not enough." Fatty Wang sat down, took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by his wife, and said with the dishes in between: "You want to direct another two years, you are going too fast now, and you don't have enough accumulation. If you don’t produce a good film, what you need to know as a director is to establish a good reputation, and if you don’t have a word of mouth, how can investors trust you?”

Fat Uncle Wang is wholeheartedly thinking about his son, but Wang Zai curled his lips, thinking very modern: "You can get quick money, and it's true when you get the money, old man, can you help me pass the script to Uncle Six... ..."

"No way, you wait another two years." Fatty Wang shook his head.

Wang Zai had no choice but to eat, and put the filming on hold for the time being. However, if he wanted to spend a little more time, Uncle Liu would definitely help him talk about it.In history, Wang Zai was the director for the first time under the investment of TVB, filming "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants". try.

Last time, Li Dawei said that Mr. Zhang is very generous in filming. Li Dawei can get ahead in DreamWorks even if he is a street guy, why can't he give it a try?Recently, DreamWorks is short of directors. It is better to go to Mr. Zhang than to ask Uncle Six.

After eating, Wang Zai went out to look for Li Dawei at the Yau Ma Tei studio. Li Dawei was surprised when he saw Wang Jing coming to him. Agreed as expected.

"Mr. Zhang, my name is Wang Jing, and my father is Wang Tianlin." Wang Jing stood in the lobby on the first floor of the artist's apartment, with a flattering expression, stretched out his fat hand, and a pair of small eyes scanned DreamWorks' apartment back and forth.

He knew how to use social resources, and he reported his father's name as soon as he opened his mouth, and directly used Wang Tianlin as a signboard.

Zhang Guobin stretched out his hand to shake Wang Jing, turned his eyes to the sofa, and ordered habitually, "Sit!"

Wang Jing sat down obediently, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. As far as he knew, Mr. Zhang had a background in an association, and his speech was really domineering.

Wang Jing immediately said witty words: "Mr. Zhang, my old man is a gold medal producer of TVB. He has directed "Xiao Shishilang", "Book and Sword Enmity Record", "Little Li Feidao", "Legend of Chu Liuxiang"... "

"I know you." Zhang Guobin sat down and heard what Wang Jing said, with a smile on his lips unconsciously, feeling very interesting.

He handed a bottle of Coke to Wang Jing, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, also holding a bottle of Coke in his hand, smiled, and sat sideways looking at him: "TVB's new screenwriter, "People in the Net", "A Dream of Beijing", "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" is all made up by you..."

"Dawei said that you have a script that you want to submit to DreamWorks. I am very happy. To be honest, I really like your screenwriting style, which is commercial enough!"

Zhang Guobin was flattering people as soon as he said it, and he immediately praised Wang Jing so high that he was overwhelmed and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhang, thank you Mr. Zhang, I will show you the new script."

He hurriedly dug out the prepared script in his bag and handed it over. After Zhang Guobin took the script, he raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Isn't this "The Meeting of Thousand Kings and Heroes"?"

Wang Jing sneered a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, they are all gambling movies with different plots. This movie is called "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants."

"The script is really well written." Zhang Guobin praised.

"I voted for this play!"

Historically, "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Kings" ranked among the top ten in the annual box office of the Xiangjiang film industry in 81, and achieved a box office of [-] million. It is not a very popular movie, but it is enough to earn a fortune.

Although Wang Jing is not a very talented film director in Xiangjiang, he is a standard commercial director, which is very suitable for DreamWorks' business model.

From the first moment Zhang Guobin approached him, he didn't intend to let go of a high-quality wage earner. What's more, he is currently filming "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", "A Thousand Tyrants Fighting a Thousand Heroes" Yun Yun, and in the future he will film "God of Gamblers". "The Gambler" is a matter of course, salvage special fishing, the director of "God of Gamblers" is Wang Jing.

"Wow, Mr. Zhang, you are so generous!" Wang Jing slapped his thigh excitedly, and exclaimed, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will help you make money!"

"Hehe, I believe it... "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" has good ratings. It is not too bold to launch a gambling movie now. Commercial movies are not about artistry, and you can make some money." Zhang Guobin smiled. drink coke.

"Zhang Sheng, you are really my confidant!" Wang Jing is very respectful of the film's commercialization route, and also explained Hollywood's approach. It seems that Wang Jing himself has a certain research on film. Although he is young, he is not Cai, mainly because his qualifications are relatively low, and he can only be a screenwriter in TVB.

"A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" is a standard action comedy, and it is also the first gambling movie. The previous gambling movies written by Wang Jing were all TV dramas...

Wang Jing thought that when Zhang Guobin talked about investment, Zhang Guobin would definitely talk about his old man. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guobin didn't mention Wang Tianlin at all, but also very much agreed with his shooting theory, which made Wang Zai excited and shouted that the trip was not in vain. Zhang Guobin offered Wang Jing an investment of [-] yuan, which was more than enough to shoot a low-budget movie. At the same time, the casting of actors had to be done within DreamWorks.

These are the basic operations of the film company, and the conditions even have preferential treatment. Not only will director Wang Jing be paid, but also a small amount of movie revenue. It must be filmed for Universal DreamWorks.

This reveals the nature of a businessman. Wang Jing was not angry when he heard it, but happily reduced the number of films to six. Zhang Guobin nodded in agreement, and the two sides negotiated the price.

Zhang Guobin said: "Just go to DreamWorks tomorrow to sign the contract."

"OK, I'll be there early tomorrow morning." Wang Jing stood up, took the script, rolled his eyes mischievously, and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to go out for a bath together? I know there is a girl in Yau Ma Tei. The plate is neat and orderly, so wow."

Since it was already evening when Wang Jing became a monk, and now it is night, Wang Jing proposed a business event appropriately, but Zhang Guobin shook his head, and said with Xiang Jiang in between: "No, my girlfriend will go back to the house immediately after filming. Please."

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang." At this time, Wen Bixia was wearing a pair of denim shorts, white running shoes, and a white printed T-shirt. She returned to the artist's apartment in a sweaty sweat, and saw Zhang Guobin sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and greeted him with a light smile .

Li Lizhen was wearing a V-neck white shirt, a blue and white striped skirt, and dressed in student attire. She followed her into the apartment and rushed to say hello.

Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen's clothes are not considered revealing, but after acting in one or two plays, they already know how to use their own advantages. My sister is used to dress up.

As soon as Wang Jing turned his head, he was dazzled by his white thighs and the leather balls put on by the students. His eyes followed the second daughter upstairs, and his eyes almost flowed down to his neckline.

Zhang Guobin nodded towards Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen, their eyes were closed at the touch of a touch, they are not real gentlemen, but they look at them every day, they really do not miss a glance...

Turning around to see Wang Jing's nymphomaniac round eyes, Wang Jing opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are really my idol."

Zhang Guobin shook his head, knowing that Wang Jing's misunderstanding was too deep. Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen came back from school, not from filming, but Wang Jing looked at him with ambiguous eyes and took the initiative to leave: "Mr. Zhang, then I won't disturb you." ,do your stuff."

"Wang Zai, slow down on the road." Zhang Guobin raised his hand and asked Xianshui who was guarding him to see him out.Wang Jing went out, turned around while walking, looked at the apartment building, rubbed his hands together and said, "Mr. Zhang really knows how to play, a girl in a building, lose it, when I become the big boss, I want to learn from Mr. Zhang." Hold girls by yourself, play by yourself!"

After Zhang Guobin signed the contract with Wang Jing in DreamWorks, he decided to let Ren Dahua sit in the male lead "Luo Sihai" in "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Overlords". He is the male number one in "A Thousand Kings and Heroes", the two dramas are equal to the same class, and the audience accepts them well, but instead of DreamWorks investing in the filming, and then using Shaw's pillars, it is a waste of Hong Kong papers, it is better to praise your own people .

Liang Chaowei, Lin Wei, Zhu Baoyi, and Li Lizhen also all starred in "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants".

Ren Dahua received the news that Zhang Sheng praised him as the number one male, came to Zhang Sheng's office, and came to express his thanks to Zhang Sheng, but Zhang Guobin handed him a cigarette, sat at the corner of the desk, dressed in a suit, and asked with a smile : "It took so long to praise you as the leading actor, didn't I make you wait too long?"

"Mr. Zhang." Ren Dahua put the cigarette butt on his lips, opened his mouth, his eyes sparkled with emotion.

.......
At the end of May, Universal DreamWorks' "A Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Kings" and "The True Colors of Heroes II" started shooting at the same time. In addition to the ongoing filming of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", a total of three major dramas are in production. At present, there is an extra "Wong Jing" among DreamWorks' film contract directors. The addition of this iconic figure in the commercialization of Hong Kong films will undoubtedly promote the production speed of DreamWorks.

Zhang Guobin feels that DreamWorks now needs to find more directors, just "Li Dawei" and "Wang Jing" carry the flag, plus a guest professor "White Pigeon Wu" and a potential newcomer "Liu Weiqiang", the lineup is too narrow , the production volume is low, it is not good to grab the cake in the next Hong Kong film era, we can only share the cake with others through cooperation, it is better to train a few more newcomers, Zhang Guobin has ordered Li Dawei to recruit film coordinators and planners in the industry , Supervising talents.

A Thai translator named Chen Kexin saw that DreamWorks was recruiting for a film coordinator position, and remembered that the production of "A Hero's True Colors" was produced by Universal DreamWorks, so he immediately handed over his resume to the company.

Zhu Baoyi lay on the bed at night, lightly touched Zhang Guobin's heel with his foot, put his head close to his pillow, and blew into his ear: "Brother Abin, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guobin turned around, facing Zhu Baoyi's beautiful nose.

Zhu Baoyi squeezed forward, put his hands on his chest, pressed against him, and said softly: "Sister Azhi wants to move into the artist's apartment."

Ms. Zhao's contract has been officially transferred to DreamWorks this month. The departure of TVB's four major stars has also caused a storm in the film and television industry. However, it is normal operation to terminate the contract when it expires. TVB's resources will definitely plummet, and the outside world is also very puzzled about one of the four major actresses jumping to a new film company. Ms. Zhao is not short of TVB's film resources. Why do you want to take such a big risk?What is the charm of the film prince?

Hearing Zhu Baoyi's words, Zhang Guobin frowned and said, "Ah Bao, Miss Zhao has a family. Husband chases his wife so closely, why would he want to move into the artist's apartment?"

"A Zhijie has already separated from Huang Hanwei. She used to live in the TVB artist apartment, but now she wants to move to the Dreamworks apartment." Zhu Baoyi whispered: "She asked me to ask your opinion."

During this period of time, Zhu Baoyi and Zhao Yazhi got along very well. The two often went shopping, eating desserts. Ah Zhi wanted to move into the DreamWorks apartment, and he also hoped that there would be more people and livelier. Living outside alone was too cold and lonely. , let alone being entangled by Huang Yuansheng.

"The explanation is Huang Yuansheng?" Zhang Guobin looked at his girlfriend with question marks on his face, and Zhu Baoyi said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Ah Zhi is very popular, and people have been chasing her. Recently, Huang Yuansheng heard that she was separated and chased her fiercely. The elder sister is a bit annoying to him."

"It's her right to move into the artist's apartment. She can come if she wants, and don't go to the top floor if she has nothing to do."

On the day Ms. Zhao moved, Wang Jing happened to come to the apartment to talk to Mr. Zhang about revising the script. He saw Ms. Zhao wearing a white dress, dragging the suitcase, and she was moving with big and small bags. He was dumbfounded and murmured, "Zhang Health... you are really my idol... again and again, even Ms. Zhao will not let it go!"

He turned his head and glanced up and down Zhang Sheng's face, then at Zhang Sheng's trousers.He had a vague idea of ​​the charm of the "Prince of the Movie World".
