The 208th chapter is a dead man(1/2)

Hong Kong is very small, and every inch of land is valuable. Everything is narrow. Steep steps are sandwiched between the two floors and can be seen everywhere, and it is pitifully miserable.

The streets are filled with fluorescent signs protruding horizontally, carrying the strong smell of the movie, neither embraced nor blocked, and dense, but rather beautiful.

Chu Qing got up early. After eating a bowl of 30 yuan beef brisket noodles, he asked Meng and Guess and decided to give up the subway and take the bus to his destination.

He had more than 100,000 yuan in his card, so he took out 20,000 yuan first and exchanged it for Hong Kong dollars. He thought it would take a while, but depending on the situation, he felt it was very unreliable. The daily necessities in Hong Kong were not too expensive, and agricultural and sideline products were very expensive, as well as transportation fees, communication fees, telephone fees, etc., carefully calculate the monthly expenses. Tsk, this is sour! I can only hope that the income can catch up with the expenses.

Guan Jinpeng's studio is in Shatin District, with three rooms inside and outside, front desk, cleaning, finance, corporate publicity, and assistants, less than ten people.

Strictly speaking, Chu Qing is currently a contracted artist in the studio, and both parties have a contract. After all, he has to stay for a long time and must have a reasonable position to take on the job. This kind of relationship between half-friend and half-boss is a good problem, and once a conflict arises, it will be extremely embarrassing.

As for the commission, it is calculated as twenty percent.

A Guan and Zhang Shuping were working on the later stage of "Lan Yu". Zhang Dashen was the master of the editing, and he was not too busy. When Chu Qing arrived, he had already made two cups of coffee and was quietly looking at the newspaper.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he didn't look up and asked casually: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay, have you eaten?"

“I’m not used to eating breakfast.”

Aguan put down the newspaper and pushed another cup of coffee. The advantage that this person likes the most is that he is absolutely punctual.

Chu Qing sat opposite him and sipped his mouth. He didn't like to drink this thing. He was straight and had a good attitude, waiting for the other party to speak first. He did not get bored because of personal relationships.

"Qingzai, I want to talk about the future development direction when I come to you this time."

Guan Jinpeng also straightened his waist with a serious expression and said, "To be honest, Hong Kong is very xenophobic, especially in the film and television industry. Liu Jialing has been called Beimei for many years. Although you have achieved something before, it is not worth mentioning in many people, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"What a problem, I plan to start with playing a supporting role." Chu Qing smiled, holding a strange accent.

A Guan also smiled and said, "In addition, Hong Kong movies are still commercial films as the mainstream. The production of art films is not much, so the route you take may be very different."

He couldn't help but be stunned. I didn't know what route I was going, why did you know? I acted in art films because no one asked me to play other good roles!

"Well, no matter what movie, just have a good script." The guy said.

"Ok!"

After hearing this, Aguan opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of paper, and said, "Since you are ready, you can give these to you."

Chu Qing felt a little confused and picked up one and looked at it. It turned out to be a script. When looking at other things, it looked like seven or eight copies, all of which were scripts.

"The movies that started working in Hong Kong in March and April are all here. Don't watch too many, there are no big characters at all. Some even just a few lines." Guan Jinpeng poured cold water in time.

"Okay, I'll take a look first. Thank you, boss."

He still had the time to joke, so he flipped through the book, and the title was very long, called "Horror Hotline: Big Headed Monster Baby". Director Zheng Baorui, starring Wu Zhenyu and He Chaoyi, with the following words to be determined.

"The radio program received a call from a man saying that one night in 1963, he and six children were playing football on the court, and they found a big-headed monster baby in a nearby cave. They immediately brought the principal of the school, but when the principal of Islam saw it, they were so scared that they fell off the Koran in their hands..."

He was too lazy to finish reading the synopsis, rubbed his head and was unable to complain.

You can tell that you are a bad movie based on this name! You might as well call it "Horror Hotline: Baby Baby", which sounds so fashionable.

Although I know that I am about to fall, I can't be ruined by such a thing. The plot must at least have a normal IQ.

He left the book neatly, picked up the second one, and looked at the name as usual:

"The Twelve Beauty of the Yin and Yang Road".

“…”

I don't believe in evil, continue watching:

"The Peerless Bra".

“…”

Then come:

"The Man Has a Stirring Shock"

“…”

besides!

"New Rogue Doctor"

“…”

besides!

"Glass, Girl"

“…”

Come again!

"Balabala Sakura Flower"

Hey? He stopped suddenly, and after the crazy destruction before, this movie seemed to be acceptable.

Chu Qing held the script and read it briefly, feeling that it was acceptable. The normal romance film was also good for him, and he was considered the number one male supporting role.

I was determined to agree, but then I looked at the column of the shooting location, with a few bright words marked: Shang*hai, Japan.

“…”

Well, I just couldn't make it in the mainland and ran to Hong Kong. As a result, I had to go back to the mainland in the first drama. I wasted the number of times I entered and left, and I was still thinking about occasionally going home and feeling sorry for my wife.

Guan Jinpeng slowly drank coffee, looking up from time to time, seeing this guy rushing around, he didn't like his virtue, and he didn't give any advice at all, it was up to him to decide.

Chu Qing passed seven-eighth of the script, leaving only the last one left. He picked it up without much hope and couldn't help but blink.

""Full Time Killer", director: Du Qifeng, Wei Jiahui.

Screenwriter: Peng Haoxiang, Wei Jiahui.

Starring: Liu Dehua, Takashi Omachi, Ren Dahua, and Lin Xilei.

Produced by: Galaxy Image."

...

Guan Jinpeng is not surprised that he chose "The Full-Time Killer". This character has no weight, but Cass is the most powerful and has excellent quality. Moreover, the film is adapted from a best-selling novel and is popular before it is released. It has attracted a large number of book and movie fans early on.

Lao Du started filming in March. He has completed the scenes in Macau and Singapore. It is planned to be completed by the end of April and released in August.

Chu Qing was immediately scared. He was used to the slow pace of filming in mainland China this year and next year, and was particularly frightened by the production cycle of Hong Kong movies.

There is no way. Who has caused Hong Kong films to shrink significantly for several consecutive years? From January to early April, only thirty movies were released. Not to mention compared with the past, even compared with the same period last year, the production volume has been reduced by ten.

There are so many theaters in Hong Kong that they can’t feed them at all. What should I do? Let’s do it if I’m a fool!

Liu Weiqiang's "Young and Dangerous" can be filmed three times a year, and two such big-name movies like Yin and Yang Road are so slim.

Old filmmakers like Aguan and his generation are extremely nostalgic about the situation of the 190s. Whether it is gunfighting movies, action movies, witty movies, romance movies, horror movies, or even salty movies, excellent works are frequently released, celebrities work hard and audience support, and it is a golden era.

Chu Qing listens to the story and A Guan talks about the memories, and they all have relish. It's just one thing that makes him quite strange: this guy has actually secretly watched it, setting a record of the midnight scene of the third-level film "Yu * Putuan: The Stole Love Treasure Mirror".

Are you going to see Ye Zimei or Xu Jinjiang?

…………

Afternoon. Uh, to be exact, this afternoon.

That's right, it's just so willful! After Chu Qing finalized the role, Guan Jinpeng immediately called Luo Yongchang, and the latter was even more awkward. He asked him to come and start filming.

I'm going crazy, rushing to reincarnate!

His slow temperament was really unable to adapt to the fast pace of the metropolis for a while. He didn't even have time to eat lunch and said goodbye to Aguan. He hurried to a restaurant in Causeway Bay, which is the film.

The restaurant was not open during the day and was rented by the crew for several hours. On two floors, there was a circle of bars downstairs, next to several tables and chairs, and next to the table at the foot of the stairs, a greasy short and fat man was sitting with an extremely shamat hairstyle and was doing nothing while smoking.

The staff dimmed the set, and the deputy director Luo Yongchang was giving the group speech: "Just sit down later, don't move, pretend to be chatting, but don't make a sound."

When the diners expressed their understanding, he looked at his watch and turned around and shouted, "Is that mainland boy here?"

"No!"

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Chu Qing flashed in and greeted with a smile: "Director!"

He was startled and looked at it slightly, and asked, "Are you the actor introduced by A Guan?"

"Yes, my name is Chu..."

"Okay OK!"

He waved his hand and interrupted, "Let's hurry up, I'll tell you all the time, come here."

Chu Qing shrugged. Although this man had a bad attitude, he had no malice. He followed him to the fat man and was pressed to sit down.

"When the shooting starts, Andy Lau will sit there playing the erhu." Luo Yongchang pointed to the small round chair at the bar, and said in a very detailed manner: "You carry the box, he signaled you to take the money, and then you first look at the boss, that is, this one."

He patted the fat man on the shoulder and added: "Even if this shot is OK, let's take another shot, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Do you really understand?" The other party was very suspicious.

"I really understand, director." Chu Qing said with a smile.

"Okay." Luo Yongchang was too lazy to ask again.
