The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 516 Script Completion
"Hearing what Mr. Xu said, it seems that cooking skills are introduced into movies, and it's like making kung fu movies." Hong Jingbao couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.

Although the stories told by Xu Guanwu are about cooking skills, the routines are practical Kung Fu movies, but the martial arts cheats have become recipes.Master-apprentice teaching martial arts becomes teaching cooking skills, martial arts hegemony becomes God of Cookery hegemony...

"That's right. I think everyone is a little tired of kung fu movies. Even if you still have some movies, the audience is already tired of watching them. This can be seen from the box office revenue in the past two years. Kung fu comedy movies in the early Republic of China Its box office is declining year by year. So you might as well change your tricks and come up with something new.” Xu Guanwu nodded, agreeing with Hong Jingbao’s opinion, “Everyone knows that Chinese food is famous all over the world, especially Hong Kong’s food is a fusion of Chinese and Western. Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown But it is very famous in the United States. By bringing food to the screen, we can not only attract local movie fans in Hong Kong, but also bring a new experience to American movie fans.”

"Mr. Xu's idea sounds really good." Cheng Long nodded and said, "Actually, in addition to kung fu, Hong Kong also has gourmet food as a special feature of Hong Kong. Those of us who go to Hollywood to develop can't follow the old path of European and American actors. We will never be able to succeed. On the contrary, we should show our own characteristics, so that we can become a real superstar in Hollywood. In addition to kung fu, I think there are many oriental characteristics that can be shown to American audiences. For example, the famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, whose films with Japanese characteristics are very popular in the United States. As far as I know, many American directors are influenced by him and think that he is a veritable film master in the world."

Hearing Cheng Long's words, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Cheng Long, who never liked reading, would have such deep thinking. It was beyond his expectation.

"No wonder there are so many kung fu people in Hong Kong, only Cheng Longhong has the longest time." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nodded approvingly.Cheng Long's words were not only very in-depth but also very insightful, and they coincided with many of his thoughts, which he really appreciated very much.

"Aaron is right. If we want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, we must not simply imitate European and American stars." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Because we are Hong Kong people, no matter how much we imitate, we can only rely on skin color and appearance. We are inherently at a disadvantage. If we continue to follow their path, then we will always be left behind. So in order to surpass them, we must find our own way. It is very important to establish our own characteristics and style, since people are Knowing that we are from Hong Kong, we can simply use our unique characteristics of Hong Kong."

"I understand Mr. Xu's words." Yuan Biao nodded and said, "In fact, apart from kung fu and food, Hong Kong has many other characteristics, such as our unique worship of ghosts and gods; such as the beautiful scenery of our Hong Kong; such as our Hong Kong Clubs and so on. In fact, if there is a suitable opportunity, these can also be made into movies.”

Xu Guanwu laughed, he was surprised that Yuan Biao had his own discovery. "What everyone said is very good. Our Hong Kong is the center of cultural exchanges between China and the West. There are many characteristics that cannot be seen in other places. So we must not think that Hong Kong is a cultural desert. In fact, I think it is a cultural gold mine. Yuan The worship of ghosts and gods mentioned by Biao, community culture, gourmet culture, martial arts culture, fairy tale culture... these can all be brought into movies in the future. As long as we are willing to use our brains, even Hollywood is not difficult to conquer."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"Mr. Xu, what you said is great." Hong Jingbao took the lead in applauding, "Then I will take this movie back and shoot it, and I will give you news about it later, Mr. Xu."

"Well, this story of mine is just a rough idea. You can find the screenwriter to revise it later." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Remember to revise it carefully, don't treat it carelessly. This movie is related to your future success. Will it succeed in gaining a foothold in Hollywood?"

"We know, Mr. Xu, we will definitely handle it well." Hong Jingbao nodded and said.

……

After Hong Jingbao and the others left, Xu Guanwu was still very happy.Because the three of them have now matured and started to have their own thinking and ideas, which really makes him very happy, because when filmmakers learn to think for themselves, it is also when his artistic career rises.From now on, the three of them are no longer just popular stars, but have become real filmmakers.

Just when Xu Guanwu was happy for the maturity of Hong Jingbao and the others, he suddenly heard a phone ring. Xu Guanwu answered it, but couldn't help being stunned for a moment. It was Deng Lijun's voice on the other side of the phone.

"Stanley, congratulations, you have both sons and daughters." Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"Terry She?! Where are you now? Have you returned to Hong Kong?" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.

"No, I'm still in Japan." Deng Lijun said, "So the news is two days late, so I congratulate you now, isn't it too late?"

"Not too late, not too late." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "How did you know this news?"

"There are also news reports about Hong Kong's entertainment industry in Japan, but it's not very timely." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "By the way, are the two babies beautiful?"

"Daughters are more beautiful, but sons are uglier." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "People say that daughters look like Qingxia, and sons look a bit like me."

"It's okay, boys, even if they look ordinary, there will definitely be girls who like them. On the contrary, if the girls are beautiful, parents will have to worry more." Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"I haven't thought of that yet." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I hope my daughter will be sensible when she grows up. Don't make me angry, otherwise I might not recognize her."

"You are stubborn now, and then you will be reluctant to part with it." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "Azhi and Qingxia are both okay? Have you been discharged from the hospital now?"

"I have been discharged from the hospital. I planned to take them to Australia for a few days to avoid the limelight in Hong Kong. I didn't expect them to die, saying that they hadn't tasted the taste of being a star for a long time because of pregnancy, so this The second thing is to take advantage of the baby's light to enjoy it again. I really don't understand their weird psychology." Xu Guanwu couldn't help complaining.

"It's actually very simple, because you are not a celebrity, so you naturally don't understand." Deng Lijun said with a smile, "Even though every celebrity says that reporters are annoying, every time they follow secretly every time they want to go out to do business. Difficult. In fact, I am very happy in my heart. I wish more reporters would follow me. This is actually a star’s little thought. Qingxia and Azhi were the most popular actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan before, and they were sleepy at home because of you. It's been ten months, and now I can finally be relieved, so naturally I have to make up for it."

"So that's the case. It seems that you and them have a common topic." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Actually, what's so good about being a celebrity? If you want to make money, I can definitely support them."

"Hehe, being a celebrity attracts all the attention, and the feeling of being adored by others cannot be bought with money." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "Besides, Azhi and Qingxia are not the kind of people who are willing to be canaries at home. Why do you have to trap them?"

"You are also a person who refuses to be a canary." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "How is your stay in Japan?"

"Fortunately, the fans here are very enthusiastic, and there are many fans who come to support each performance." Deng Lijun smiled and said, "Actually, I am very envious of Qingxia and Azhi, they already have their own babies now But I'm still alone."

Hearing what she said, Xu Guanwu couldn't help sighing, "Teresa, at least they have me now, although Qingxia and I don't have that piece of paper, but at least we have real status, even if we have children, we will get Everyone agrees. But Teresa, you have been unwilling to disclose our relationship, if you are discovered by the outside world after you have a child in the future, it will be very troublesome."

"I know, so I don't plan to have a child now." Deng Lijun said sadly, "When I feel that I have sung enough, I will directly announce my retirement from the music scene, and then I will give birth to a child for you, and then I will Take him to hide and find a place where no one can find me."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being sad when he heard her say this, "Actually, why do you do this? It's not that I can't afford you. Even if you want to be free, I won't stop you. Just let me support you, okay?"

"No, I've actually made a lot of money over the years, and I've invested all of this money. I bought several properties in Tokyo, Japan, and the prospect of appreciation is very good now." Deng Lijun refused, "I always feel that financial independence between men and women should be maintained, otherwise there will be attachment mentality."

"This..." After hearing this, Xu Guanwu didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Deng Lijun looked like a little woman, but in fact she had the thoughts of a big woman in her heart.

"Okay, come and see me in Tokyo if you have time, I'll hang up first." Deng Lijun said, and hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to smile wryly and hang up the phone.

……

Although Deng Lijun wanted Xu Guanwu to go across the ocean to see her, and Xu Guanwu really missed her, but now he really couldn't spare the time.One is that the baby has just been born, so he is naturally reluctant to leave the baby behind and go to Tokyo alone.The second is that Christmas will be in two months, and now the company is busy from top to bottom, and there are so many things that it is impossible to get out.

After the three brothers Hong Jingbao got the outline of Xu Guanwu's story, they immediately found Huang Bingyao and others to start writing the screenplay.Huang Bingyao edited the script three times, five times, and two times, but he was not very satisfied when he showed it to Hong Jingbao.Huang Bingyao is known as the military adviser of the King of Bridges. Du Qiao has a very strong skill in making up jokes, but his shortcoming is in terms of the rationality of the script.If this script is only released in Hong Kong, it will definitely achieve a good box office, but if it is released in Hollywood, the story is still not enough.

The most important point is that American audiences watch movies more carefully, and they like to investigate the rationality of them. If the story is not satisfactory and there are obvious loopholes, it will definitely be disgusted by movie fans.

When the three of Hong Jingbao were filming "Cannonball Run", although they only played small roles in it, these three roles also have their own identity settings. Each person has different ages, personalities, thoughts, education levels, and growth experiences. The way you deal with things will be different.

When they saw the thick set of roles, they couldn't help admiring the professionalism of European and American screenwriters.Compared with those professional screenwriters in Europe and America, Huang Bingyao, who only knows how to compose jokes, is a little bit behind.

Huang Bingyao revised it twice in a row but still failed to meet Hong Jingbao's requirements. In the end, he had to join forces with Huang Baiming, Wang Jing, Situ An and other Xu's top screenwriting talents to make revisions together, and finally came up with a film that made Hong Jingbao feel happy. Satisfied with the script.

And through this incident, these screenwriters also benefited a lot.Originally, they were all monks halfway, and the scripts they wrote were only intended to be good-looking, exciting, funny, exciting, and often lacked in rationality. Now they finally made up for this moment, and they dare not be careless in the future.
