In the evening, Tan Jiabao, Fan Nu, Li Hanxiang, Chu Yuan, Wu Yusen, Franco Zeffirelli, Francis Ford Coppola and others watched "The Godfather" in the small movie screening room of Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company and "Romeo and Juliet."

After several months of efforts by Coppola and three revisions proposed by Tan Jiabao, this "The Godfather" has been quite perfect, and in some places it even surpassed the "Godfather" in Tan Jiabao's memory.This time, Tan Jiabao just made some changes to some lines, and then it will definitely be released before Christmas.

After watching "The Godfather", Franco Zeffirelli, the director of "Romeo and Juliet", sighed: "It's really unbelievable that a young man has made such a great movie. I have to admit that "The Godfather" It will be the most powerful opponent of "Romeo and Juliet" in this Oscar. Hehe, I admit that I have a chance to win "The Graduate", but it is very difficult to win this competition with "The Godfather."

In fact, after the appearance of Tan Jiabao, the film structure in 1967 has undergone tremendous changes, and the Oscar Awards have also become confusing.The dark horse British film "Oliver! "Under the impact of movies such as "The Godfather", "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Graduate", I am afraid that the dark horse will no longer be there.

"Hehe, Coppola, even Mr. Franco said that this movie was made well, so I won't say anything more. Next, you take a break, and then come to Hong Kong to serve as a consultant for the Hong Kong film "The True Colors of Heroes", During the filming process, you have to give this film your own suggestions." Tan Jiabao praised Coppola and assigned tasks to him.

Coppola nodded endlessly. In front of this child, he no longer dared to have the slightest arrogance.

Tan Jiabao then said to Fan Nu: "Old Fan, I decided to ask Zhang Che to shoot "The True Colors of a Hero". You have to try your best to convince Boss Shao. I don't think he will refuse."

Fan Nu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already got in touch with Zhang Che. He promised to finish filming the movie at hand, and as long as Mr. Shao let him go, he will come over immediately."

The script of "The True Colors of Heroes" has been produced by Gu Long overtime.Tan Jiabao found that Gu Long's version of "The True Colors of Heroes" is quite different from the version of "The True Colors of Heroes" by Wu Yusen in the previous life. "The True Colors of Heroes" is already full of Gu Long's taste. There are two male protagonists who are so cool that people are crazy, with ups and downs, suspenseful storylines, short, wonderful and philosophical dialogues, and grand gun battles. Gu Long It seems to inject new vitality into "The True Colors of Heroes", and at the same time make the meaning of "The True Colors of Heroes" more lingering and full of profound meaning.

Tan Jiabao only modified a little bit, and then handed it over to Fan Nu.For the gunfight movie in Hong Kong, Tan Jiabao thought of Zhang Cheh.He has watched Chang Cheh's "Great Shanghai 1937", and he still values ​​his directing skills.He believes that "The True Colors of a Hero" directed by Zhang Cheh will definitely shine.

"A Sen, you will be the assistant director of this film. You must actively learn from Director Zhang Cheh, actively use your brains, and put forward your own suggestions to the director..." Tan Jiabao said sincerely to Wu Yusen. He knew that in the last life, Wu Yusen It is Zhang Cheh's apprentice, and this time, he has the experience of filming "The Godfather", so he should be able to grasp the idea and story line of the film better.

Wu Yusen looked at Tan Jiabao gratefully and said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

Tan Jiabao turned to Chu Yuan again.

Chu Yuan's third Hollywood movie "Thelma & Louise" has been released for a while, and although it did not achieve the same results as the first road movie "Easy Rider", the box office revenue is still considerable.Taking advantage of this gap, Tan Jiabao recalled him to Hong Kong and asked him to do his "old business" and temporarily shoot some ancient dragon movies.

In the last life, Chu Yuan was recognized as the most successful director of Gu Long movies, often "Gu Long + Chu Yuan + Di Lon" is the best box office guarantee.In this life, Tang Dynasty Entertainment only filmed a Gu Long movie, namely Hu Jinquan's "Peerless Twins". Due to schedule reasons, the first and second episodes of the movie have not yet been released in Hong Kong.

"Ah Yuan, you are a rare talent, so I plan to make you work harder in the future. In the future, you will spend half a year in Hong Kong shooting a few Gu Long novels and movies, and then go to Hollywood for half a year to shoot a Hollywood movie. When you return to Hong Kong this time, I I ask you to make three Gu Long movies, in short, I will leave all Gu Long's novels to you to shoot, and you can choose the material yourself." Tan Jiabao said to Chu Yuan with a smile.

Chu Yuan opened his mouth wide and said after a long time: "Boss, although I have made several martial arts movies before, I prefer literary movies, even romantic movies. I'm afraid I won't be able to make movies based on Gu Long's novels."

"You can do it, you can do it!" Tan Jiabao said in his heart, even if you can't shoot well, who else can do it well?He knew that Chu Yuan was reluctant to make a movie in Hollywood, so he said: "Actually, Gu Long's movies are quite good, and you have been with Gu Long for a while. This is the truth of 'Wen Ru Qi Ren'. You should experience it carefully. In the second half of next year, I will shoot a Hollywood movie with a bigger investment for you, I believe you will like it."

"What movie?" Chu Yuan was really ecstatic. Although he made three movies in Hollywood, they were all low-cost movies. "Big movies" are what every director yearns for.

Tan Jiabao smiled slightly and said, "I'll give you the script later, the title is "Last Tango in Paris". I want to ask Marlon Brando to be the male lead, and the female lead is still your favorite Jane Fonda."

Chu Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and his expression was very strange.It took him a long time to say: "Well, I will follow the boss's arrangement."

After Chu Yuan was settled, Tan Jiabao said to Franco Zeffirelli: "Mr. Franco, I appreciate your talent very much. Your "Romeo and Juliet" simply makes me unable to put it down."

Franco Zeffirelli smiled and said: "I am Italian, and I have admired your talent for a long time. To be honest, "The Godfather" is like a person who has lived in Italy for at least 10 years. The Mafia is so vividly written. Hehe, but I have a soft spot for Shakespeare's works. This movie also has your credit, your soundtrack and teresateng singing also add a lot of color to the movie."

"What do you think about "Love in Hong Kong"?" Tan Jiabao said with a faint smile.

"I like "Love in Hong Kong" very much. I have been in Hong Kong for half a month, and I have selected all the scenes in the play. What excites me the most is that I shot a group of real scenes yesterday. The scene of Hong Kong citizens taking to the streets. Hehe, I hope this kind of scene can still be seen after the filming starts." Franco Zeffirelli shrugged.

The storyline of "Love in Hong Kong" is based on the "Love in New Bridge" in the previous life, but the background of the story has become Hong Kong in 1967.At this time, Hong Kong is experiencing the June 67th riots and vigorous actions to take over Ryukyu. Under this background, two men and women from different countries meet unexpectedly, and a beautiful and confusing love story is performed...

Tan Jiabao smiled wryly in his heart, thinking, how can there be such a person who actually hopes that Hong Kong will continue to be turbulent like this.He said: "This situation will pass soon. By the way, Mr. Franco, have you decided on your hero?"

Franco Zeffirelli thought for a while, and then said: "It is really difficult to find someone from Hong Kong who can act with Audrey Hepburn. But I found a young man named 'Zeng', He’s 32 years old, he’s good at acting, he’s good at English, and he said he graduated from the University of California. However, he seems to have low self-confidence.”

"Zeng? Who is it?" Tan Jiabao hurriedly asked Fan Nu.

"His name is Zeng Jiang. He has acted in many movies, but most of them are supporting roles." Fan Nu replied immediately.

Tan Jiabao gasped. He was too familiar with Zeng Jiang.He has appeared in many movies. This person has a wide range of roles. Although most of them play supporting roles, the police, gangsters, Dongxie, lawyers and bosses all play very well.He is an actor Tan Jiabao likes very much.

"Old Fan, it's up to you to inspire his confidence. This person has a good talent for acting, and if he cultivates it well, he will definitely become a big man." Although Tan Jiabao said this, he also felt guilty in his heart, even if he himself could not guarantee that he could make it. This "millennium supporting role" stood up and became an indomitable protagonist.

Tan Jiabao said to Franco Zeffirelli: "Mr. Franco, I know you are a Shakespeare fan. I would like to shoot Shakespeare plays for you, such as "Hamlet", such as "Othello", "Lee "Your King" and so on. However, after "Hong Kong Love", you have to shoot a movie called "Shakespeare in Love" for us first."

""Shakespeare in Love"? Shakespeare has a "Love History"? How come I don't know?" Franco Zeffirelli was taken aback. He thought he was already an expert on Shakespeare, but he had never read about Shakespeare's Love History. He couldn't help but look at Tan Jiabao suspiciously.

Tan Jiabao laughed, took out a script and said to him: "It's a human being, Metropolis has a 'love history', especially a character like the great Shakespeare! If he didn't have an unforgettable love, how could there be so many immortal loves?" Although there is no record of him in historical materials, we can imagine Shakespeare’s love history, and a lingering romance film was born. This is the script I wrote, please take a closer look.”

After hearing what Tan Jiabao said, Franco Zeffirelli was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter. He began to look at Tan Jiabao with admiration and said, "I have been reading Shakespeare since I was a child, why didn't I think of giving it to you?" How about he 'arranged' a love story? Haha, I finally believe it, you are the smartest person in the world!"

For such praise, Tan Jiabao, who was getting thicker and thicker, had become accustomed to it, and felt at ease, and now he no longer felt the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Tan Jiabao no longer paid attention to the Italian, but turned his attention to Li Hanxiang.At this time, Franco Zeffirelli was already ecstatic, and he left with the script.Obviously, this play is a kind of temptation for a Shakespeare fan.

"Old Li, after watching "Romeo and Juliet", how do you feel?" Li Hanxiang remained silent, and Tan Jiabao took the initiative to talk to him at this time.

Now Li Hanxiang has sold Taiwan's Guolian Film Company, which has suffered a lot of losses, to Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company at a price of NT$0.He knew that the 0 NT dollars was entirely for his face, otherwise, even if he didn't receive a cent, he would not take it, because the League of Nations has already owed tens of millions of debts.

Hearing Tan Jiabao's question, Li Hanxiang said seriously: "I have watched several "Romeo and Juliet", I think this one is the best, it will definitely become a classic in the future, and it will be difficult for future generations to surpass it!"

Tan Jiabao was secretly startled. A famous director is a famous director, and an expert is an expert. He is like a prophet, telling the immortal status of this film.In fact, in the next few decades, many people have the idea of ​​remaking this movie, but after seeing this movie many times, they give up because it is really difficult to surpass. In 1996, Century Fox decided to shoot this film, but they cleverly put the plot in modern times.In the final analysis, they still dare not touch this immortal classic.
