Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 532 Beauty is afraid of getting late, communication with beauty!

March 4th, late.

Cao Jun and Zeng Li were invited by Xu Zheng and Xiao Tao Hong to have dinner at the latter's home.

Because of the presence of Xu Zheng and Zeng Li, the conversation between Cao Jun and Xiao Tao Hong was no different from normal.

Compared with little Tao Hong, Zeng Li at this time is obviously superior in terms of figure, appearance, and temperament.

It is said that fists are afraid of young men, sticks are afraid of old men, and beauties are afraid of old age. Especially when the two of them are sitting together, Zeng Li makes people feel more eye-catching and attractive.

Cao Jun would also involuntarily compare little Tao Hong with Zeng Li in his heart.

There is one thing to say, Zeng Li is at the peak of his career, compared with Xiao Tao Hong who has passed his peak, it is definitely worse than anything.

In this regard, Xu Zheng also agreed, this girl Zeng Li is really good-looking, and it is true that the more she looks, the more beautiful she is.

However, Cao Jun and Xu Zheng met this time, in addition to chatting about old times, they also discussed the preparations for the new film.

To put it bluntly, Xu Zheng wants to transform into a director.

As for the movie "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand", since breaking the box office record of Chinese-language movies, Cao Jun has no idea of ​​​​preparing for a third sequel.

If the filming of "On the Journey 3" is not started, not only the other investors are very anxious, but even the protagonist Xu Zheng is also anxious.

Because everyone knows that if the sequel of "People on the Journey 3" can be successfully filmed and released, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Cao Jun didn't want to make the third film, not because he was high-spirited, but mainly because he didn't have a good script.

Because in another time and space, the movie "囧囧 in Hong Kong" directed and acted by Xu Zheng is really eye-catching, and compared with the quality of the first two "People on the Journey", it has also dropped a lot.

To put it simply, if "Lost in Hong Kong" is made, it is likely to be a popular movie.

For Cao Jun, who has never made bad movies, it is an insult and suffering to let him make bad movies. He still cherishes his feathers very much.

Even if the film "Lost in Hong Kong" is really going to be filmed, Cao Jun will no longer participate in the director's work, but will only participate in the preparation and announcement of the film "Lost in Hong Kong" as a producer and investor.

Because Cao Jun didn't want to be a director for the time being, Xu Zheng moved his mind and wanted to take over from Cao Jun and become a director himself, shooting the "囧" series of movies.

After learning about Xu Zheng's thoughts, Cao Jun said straightforwardly: "Old Xu, if others want to make the third part of "On the Journey", I will definitely not agree."

"But if you, Old Xu, want to take a picture, I will raise my hands and agree!"

Seeing Cao Jun's righteousness, Xu Zheng was also very moved. He immediately picked up his wine glass and touched Cao Jun.

"Don't say anything, do it!"

"Okay, done!"

After speaking, the two drank the red wine in the glass.

Seeing Cao Jun and Xu Zheng's arrogance, Zeng Li and Xiao Tao Hong followed suit and drank a glass of red wine.

Xu Zheng continued to drink, and had a general chat with Cao Jun about his thoughts on the script of the third movie of "On the Journey".

Xu Zheng conceived the script of the third "People on the Journey", which tells the story of the designer Xu Lai who went through a series of embarrassing things in Hong Kong in order to reunite with his first love goddess 20 years ago, and finally found out that his wife , is the most cherished story...

There are no surprises. Xu Zheng's scripts are basically a routine. They are all stories about middle-aged men in the city who encounter a mid-life crisis, then go out to steal food, and then return to the prodigal son.

As far as the creation itself is concerned, Xu Zheng decided to break through Cao Jun’s style and create a more advanced film after summarizing the experience and lessons of the two films "People on the Journey" and "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand". story.

After years of exploration and study, Xu Zheng confidently believes that he has gradually understood and mastered the essence of comedy.

Compared with the funny ways of shaking the burden and playing wit in the previous two "People on the Journey", Xu Zheng is more willing to use plot conflicts and character creation to create high-level jokes, creating a comedy effect that hides sadness in joy and tears in laughter , the pursuit is to touch the soul, not to laugh and forget.

In addition, Xu Zheng also intends to combine various elements such as love, youth, nostalgia, suspense, police and robbers, and action, so that they can be integrated into the movie "Lost in Hong Kong".

Xu Zheng's goal is to combine all these elements in one movie, trying to make sure that they don't compete with each other, are not boring or chaotic, but instead collide with each other, inspiring different interests, while youth line, family line, dream The line and the killer line run side by side at the same time, forming an interesting pattern of multi-line intersecting narratives.

All in all, in Xu Zheng's vision, "Lost in Hong Kong" is no longer a pure comedy, and its genre and content have been fully upgraded. The middle-aged man's nostalgia for youth and reflection on life are even more meaningful, not just laughing, but also moving and thinking.

Regarding Xu Zheng's grand blueprint, Cao Jun has a different view. He thinks that comedies are mainly meant to be funny, and it's useless to talk about so much mess.

Audiences go to the cinema to watch the "囧" series of movies, mainly watching comedies.

Cao Jun said bluntly: "Old Xu, let me tell you this, comedies are meant to be funny, and if they are not funny, they are rubbish!"

"However, as a bystander, I can only give you my opinion. How to do it and how to create it is up to you, the director, to decide!"

There is a saying, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, since Cao Jun has decided to let Xu Zheng be the director of the movie "Lost in Hong Kong", he doesn't want to interfere too much.

Because no matter what kind of film Xu Zheng makes of "Lost in Hong Kong", no one will scold him. If the filming is good, Xu Zheng is awesome, but if the filming is not good, it is Xu Zheng's trash.

And Cao Jun, as the producer of the movie "Lost in Thailand", just wants to lie quietly and count the money, and doesn't want to interfere too much with other things.

Cao Jun was also very kind. He did ideological work with Xu Zheng and analyzed the pros and cons.

Xu Zheng is not a fool, he understood the pros and cons at the time, but now he lacks an opportunity, an opportunity to become famous, become a director, and become capital.

Cao Jun didn't treat Xu Zheng badly either, and directly had a showdown with Xu Zheng: "Old Xu, you can do what you want. If you want to do it so much, I will give you 4% of the box office share. How much you can get in the end depends on your ability." !"

Xu Zheng thought to himself, if the movie "Lost in Hong Kong" can earn more than 10 billion box office like "Lost in Thailand", even if it takes 4% of the box office, it will still be thousands of dollars. Wan bottomed out.

Regarding Cao Jun's arrangement, Xu Zheng not only had no opinion at all, but also happily and gratefully accepted the conditions offered by Cao Jun.

Xu Zheng picked up his wine glass, touched Cao Jun, and said, "Brother, let's not say polite words, except thank you or thank you, I did it! You can do whatever you want!"

Cao Jun said angrily: "Whatever you want, you have already done it, why can I not do it! Come on! Let's do it together!"

Hearing Cao Jun's words, Xu Zheng was also full of passion. He stood up directly, filled his wine glass, and drank a big glass with Cao Jun.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and it is rare to be so happy today. Cao Jun and Xu Zheng also drank to their heart's content.

This meal, from 7 o'clock in the evening, has been drinking until one o'clock in the morning, before it dies down.

Because it was late, and Xu Zheng and his wife were more hospitable, they let Cao Jun and Zeng Li stay in the guest room.

After drinking, Cao Jun also became interested...
