Chapter 633 The tree fell and the hozens scattered
What Zhuang Cheng is preparing is also a family comedy.
Looking at the synopsis of the story, it’s a routine where three couples get together, noisy, and end up happily reunited. The planned lineup: Director Zhang Jianting, starring Xu Guanjie, Zhong Zhentao, Chen Baiqiang, Ye Tong, Xia Wenxi, and Li Lizhen.
Zhang Jianting filmed "Seven Days of Love" and "Two Wives in One House" for Legendary Pictures. The male lead was Zhong Zhentao, and the three actresses were all from Legendary Pictures. This lineup was extremely logical, and Feng Bingzhong did not have any doubts.
He was even surprised by Zhuang Cheng's generosity in inviting Xu Guanjie and Chen Baiqiang.
Xu Guanjie's salary is second only to Cheng Long!
And Feng Bingzhong made a rough calculation based on this lineup: "It needs a budget of at least 6 million, which is quite cruel! Legendary Pictures is really getting better, and they dare to invest in such a large production."
Comparing it with Huang Baiming's one again, I can't see it.
From face to face, Zhuang Cheng's drama is the most suitable to be placed in the Spring Festival period, and Huang Baiming can only be wronged.
Feng Bingzhong thought for a while, and realized that Huang Baiming's skills were pretty good. It would be a pity not to take the photo. It could be put on the Christmas show and it would be a family fun. But he didn't say it directly. He would definitely be dissatisfied if he said it directly.
"Hey, how about that movie?"
"Don't worry, you'd better finish filming early, we will promote it vigorously this time!"
He also called Huang Baiming to appease him. His actual idea was to let the other party finish the film, and at the end of the year, he would tell him that the plan had changed and that it would be ready for Christmas.
When there are many movies and few theaters, it is a buyer's market. On the other hand, it is a seller's market.
Zhuang Cheng had already proven that he was stronger than Huang Baiming. After careful consideration, Feng Bingzhong still chose the former. After all, Huang Baiming was one of his own, and his own people could often be wronged.
…………
Hong Kong has more than 230 islands, large and small, collectively known as the outlying island area.
Some are habitable, such as Lantau Island, Lamma Island, etc. Cheung Chau Island is also one of them.
There is a theater on Cheung Chau Island that opened in 1931. It has a traditional two-story structure. The key is that it comes with a small studio for filming in the outlying island area.
Recently, this small studio was rented and a seven-day contract was signed.
The confidentiality measures are very good. No one knows what is going on inside. They only know that the male protagonist is a foreigner and the heroine is an innocent and cute little girl who looks like a Japanese woman.
"I can't do it anymore! Change the shift!"
At this moment, a staff member suddenly ran out in a hurry, with a physiological red color on his face.
A colleague who was smoking outside shouted: "Aren't you? It's only 20 minutes?"
"No, no, it's too exciting!"
"What are you filming now?"
"Tie it up! Tied it up!"
Hiss!
The colleague outside took a breath and threw away the cigarette butt: "I'm going to change my shift!"
He rushed in with dignity, and saw that the small studio was decorated as the interior of a small wooden house, with messy things and a simple bed. There were not many staff members, and Zhuang Cheng was also watching.
The American guy with a big belly was sitting on a chair drinking beer. He stepped on her head and cursed in English.
Tadokoro Yumiko was very dedicated. She was curled up on the ground and sobbing. She was so pitiful...
oops!
This person was stimulated as soon as he came in. He is young and in good health.
They all have no experience. Hong Kong has only experienced Li Hanxiang's romantic movies, and it has not yet reached the heyday of Category III movies. Who has seen anything like this? This expression method is bolder than simple nudity.
"..."
After looking at this man for a while, he felt a little unbearable. Looking at his colleagues who were also supporting him, and looking at Zhuang Cheng whose expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but admire him: He is indeed a boss, and he is very determined...
"cough!"
Zhuang Chengqiang coughed calmly and went out casually, sighing in his heart: "It's incredible! Let alone the United States, if this thing was released in Hong Kong, it would have a box office of at least 20 million!"
Mr. Chen is really capable of literary, military, coquettish and romantic ways. How did he come up with this idea?
During the filming of "The Forbidden Room", he took the time to come and watch it, and learned a lot. Director Huang Tailai was so inspired that he exposed his dark side and actively offered many opinions to make the effect more sinister.
These people all have pseudonyms.
Hiding on an island is a perfect place to shoot this kind of anti-pornography and anti-illegal work stuff.
However, Zhuang Cheng was very satisfied with this place. If he continued filming in the future, he could rent it for a long time. This film was said to be made into a video tape and sold exclusively to the United States. He didn't know how to operate it, but Mr. Chen was willing to do it, so the profits would be huge.
After Zhuang Cheng finished his visit, he left Cheung Chau Island and returned to Hong Kong and Kowloon.
As soon as I got back, I received a message from Feng Bingzhong saying that the Spring Festival stall was OK!
"Thank you, happy cooperation!"
"ha!"
Zhuang Cheng wanted to laugh three times. There is no such thing as a Spring Festival stall. They are all just to fool people, just to mess with Huang Baiming. The more experience he has, the more disenchanted he is with big shots. Dute Niang is a member of the Caotai team.
…………
People in Xinyi City are now in panic.
Mai Jia has stopped coming, and Feng Bingzhong came to comfort him personally, but the effect was very little. There are well-informed people everywhere. It is said that the big boss Lei Juekun angrily scolded Mai Jia, and even involved his shares.
The bald man was so angry that he simply went to Japan and waited there for the filming of "Lucky Star".
The boss didn't come, but the employees were enjoying themselves. One person looked at the newspaper, suddenly frowned, and said after a few seconds: "That's not right! Wasn't the Spring Festival slot reserved for Mr. Huang? Why was it given to Legendary Pictures?"
"What Legendary Pictures?"
Everyone came over one after another, but it was an interview with Zhuang Cheng.
"There are plans for two movies next. "Mr. Zombie" is so popular, of course I won't give it up. I'm going to make another zombie movie... With Uncle Nine, how would you watch it without Uncle Nine?
The other one is a comedy, and I have already set my sights on the Spring Festival slot... I know that the Spring Festival slot is a battleground, and only those who can dominate the Spring Festival slot are considered winners. Legendary Pictures has achieved some results, and I want to give it a try.
We have made an agreement with Princess Jin, and please support us when the time comes..."
The employees looked at each other, and a thought passed through each other's eyes. It was different from the past. This time, I'm afraid it's really going to be doomed!
"Hey, hey, do you have any connections in Jiahe? Do you still need someone? Why don't you take me with you when you go there?"
"If Shaw Brothers is declining, why not go to TVB... Wu Siyuan, Chen Xunqi's company will also work!"
"Hey, how about the leftists? The leftists get good treatment and I heard they even share housing. I can be patriotic too!"
"What a beautiful idea. We want talents, not idiots! Are you qualified?"
…………
"Mr. Feng, you are going too far!"
"Listen to my explanation!"
"It doesn't matter if you tell me the truth. I was in the ring with Zhuang Cheng and I gave up because I was not strong enough. Why did you lie to me... No need to tell me, I don't want to meet either, that's it!"
Huang Baiming prides himself on being a cultured person, and rarely loses his temper. His bookish face turns red and his glasses are crooked.
Gao Zhisen also looked angry: "You clearly don't take us seriously!"
"They want Zhuang Cheng, and they want us! After we finish shooting the film and postpone it, they give us a non-Spring Festival schedule, and we have no choice but to agree to it!"
"Then shall we film now?"
"Why film in this situation? Let Princess Jin make money after filming?"
Huang Baiming adjusted his glasses and said cruelly: "When a tree falls, the monkey will scatter. They are all greedy for money. Don't laugh at anyone. If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
…………
"This makes no sense. We are in a cooperative relationship. You still care about what I say to the media? What you do to Huang Baiming is your business. I don't know your inside story. Does it have anything to do with me? It's inexplicable!"
Snap!
Zhuang Cheng didn't give Feng Bingzhong a good temper and hung up directly.
Feng Bingzhong finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He felt that a dark cloud was approaching silently, and by the time he noticed it, it was already hanging over his head. Zhuang Cheng had tricked him into surrendering to the enemy, and he would not naively think it was a coincidence.
One thing is a coincidence, two things are a coincidence?
Someone is clearly causing trouble!
