Three days later, on the Clear Water Bay set.

Zhang Qing, along with Wang Ruolin and his son, visited the obviously British-style administrative building, studios No. 1 to No. 6, film warehouse, dubbing studio, color printing room, Qiao's villa, dormitories No. 2 to No. 4, and the production department.

"Every celebrity on Hong Kong Island has never been here. The location here is excellent, next to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with a view of Silver Bay. If it is used for real estate, I don't know how much money it will make. Uncle Liu only relies on this

Anyone can become a tycoon!"

Wang Chang was extremely envious.

Wang Ruolin glared at his son as if he was looking at someone crazy, but he did not teach him a lesson in public. Instead, he led Zhang Qing to visit the ancient fashion street, teahouse, winery, inn, casino, pawnshop, yamen, brothel, and mansion.

There are all levels, and the four corners are temples, towers, mansions and teahouses.

“I don’t know how many movies have been filmed here over the past few decades.”

Wang Ruolin seemed to be watching the history of Joe's movies, with countless years flying before his eyes.

We also saw Minguo Street, churches, theaters, movie theaters, commercial shops, teahouses, nightclubs, etc.

Although they are not large in scale and are very old, they should be enough for setting scenery.

After walking around for a long time, Wang Ruolin was out of breath from exhaustion. When he sat down to rest in a pavilion, he looked at Zhang Qing with a smile in his old eyes and said, "I didn't expect, Qingzi, you are right

I’m good at gambling on movies.”

The book Zhang Qing took out was beyond his expectation. It was full of Hong Kong film style and the story was complete and mature.

If Zhang Qing hadn't done it on the spot, he wouldn't have believed it was written by a mainlander.

Wang Chang was even more happy, and said with a smile: "This drama written by Qingzi will definitely be popular, I'm so jealous!"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "Actually, it's just a trick. Even if it's a distillation of elements from some of your classic gambling films, Director Wang, it can't be considered original."

These words made Wang Changle unable to close his mouth, but he still waved his hands and said: "Those things were all added when inspiration came from patting them. It's ridiculous that I am so crazy that I don't know how to pick up all these good things.

If I had known it could be like this, tsk..."

Seeing the excitement on his face, Wang Ruolin snorted and said: "The stories of the world are there, how many people can be picked to form a perfect story? Furthermore, what Qingzi said was polite, do you take it seriously?"

Is your protagonist also a crazy person?"

Wang Chang was amused when he heard this, looked at Zhang Qing and said: "Qingzi, how could you think of writing a crazy line? No movie has done this before, will the audience scold it?"

Zhang Qing asked: "Director Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Chang thought about it carefully and still couldn't make up his mind, but he said with a smile on his greasy face: "In the past, most of the protagonists were handsome guys like Li Qifa and Zhang Zechen. All of them could either fight, or they were shrewd and flattering.

It's the first time to play a fool, and the audience may find it very fresh."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "You are not just a fool. After eating chocolate, don't you become the God of Gamblers? I have watched and studied many of Director Wang's gambling films. To sum up the reason for success, it is to highlight one thing. The audience spends money to buy tickets and enter the cinema.

, just to stimulate happiness.”

Wang Chang was more serious and said: "It's not just fun for you, it's also depressing, with the plot of a woman fucking her sister-in-law... Tsk, Tsk, Qingzi, you are so arrogant. Do you know that this kind of thing happens in Hong Kong Island?

Is he going to be executed with three swords and six holes? I don’t even dare to write like that.”

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "You are so humble. I took the experience from Hong Kong movies to express emotions."

Wang Ruolin looked at Wang Chang who gradually showed admiration on his face and said, "Do you understand?"

It's my first time to get involved in movies, and I actually know how to express emotions, and use all the plots to highlight the word "shuang". With such understanding, what else can I say?

Wang Chang smiled bitterly and said: "God, the thief of Pu Ta Amu, how unfair it is. I, Chang Zai, am pretty and humble, but I don't have such a mind? Qing Zai is not even twenty, so he can learn from the movie in his hands."

Just show your eyesight? Qing Zai, if you do a few model plays from your mainland, I will also convince you. How can you even master our Hong Kong Island plays so quickly? It’s unreasonable and inhumane.”

Wang Ruolin ignored this idiot, but looked at Zhang Qing and said, "The plays you wrote are all familiar to this idiot. Do you want him to be the director?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "On Hong Kong Island, apart from Uncle Ruo Lin and Director Wang, I don't know anyone else."

After Zhao Qiang went to "Ming Pao" to get her latest royalties, she took Zhang Lan back to Beijing and had a lot of things to do at home.

Currently, Zhang Qing, Hua Die and Wang Zitong live in a rented house downstairs from Wang Ruolin.

It was also Zhong Qu who learned that Zhang Qing wanted money and personally sent the message, so that "Ming Pao" could advance the publishing share of Wanwan and Southeast Asia.

In addition to the huge royalties of 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars already shared in the previous period, including Hong Kong Island, a total of 6.8 million Hong Kong dollars in royalties were shared this time.

The Wanwan side accounts for the majority, but there, "Ming Pao" concealed Zhang Qing's identity as a mainlander.

The Four Little Dragons and Four Little Tigers are currently in a period of economic fever, with hot money surging among the people, and there has not been a martial arts masterpiece for many years, so the purchasing power is amazing.

In addition to the 3 million Hong Kong dollars invested in the stock market and part of the money set aside for living, the budget for the first film of Zhang Qingxin's company was 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

Ten years ago, it could barely be considered a big production on Hong Kong Island.

In the 1990s, two kings and one Li emerged in the film industry, especially the comedy genius Li Xingxing. The salary of an actor alone can exceed tens of millions.

All kinds of hot money have entered the film and television industry, and the cost of movie production has soared.

If it weren't for the use of Qiao's Studio, Zhang Qing would never be able to film a big movie with the eight million.

Even without Wang Ruolin's face, Li Qifa, one of the two Li's grandsons, might not be able to invite him.

Although Li Qifa went to Hollywood and even his mother didn't recognize him, in the Hong Kong film industry, he will always be at the top, and his salary is almost second only to Sun Kuohai, which is in the tens of millions.

Of course, the bidding is a bidding, and the actual remuneration is another matter, including the face of Qiao Beiyan and Wang Ruolin.

I believe that the salary can be controlled within 4 million.

He was grateful to the Wang family and his son, who were equally moved by him.

A young man is willing to invest all his savings and trust them to let a director who has already started making salty and wet movies make a movie. This trust is not easy.

Not to mention, without the connection between Zhang Qing and Qiao Beiyan, they would not have been able to use the convenience of Qiao's studio to film.

Making movies is really not that simple. There are now more than 100 movies released in Hong Kong Island a year, but there are at least 500 movies that have actually started production.

Although most of them are shoddy, if a movie wants to be released, and it can get a good schedule, good publicity, good distribution, and stay on the screen for a longer time, it is not just something that can be done with money.

And these all require the strong support of TVB.

Whether Wang Chang can turn over or not depends on this fate.

"Qingzi, don't worry, I will personally escort this bad boy to film this movie for you!"

Wang Ruolin looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile.

His last movie was more than ten years ago. It was a hard-hitting martial arts drama, and the result was that he almost lost his decades-old face.

This time, he wants to regain his face!

Wang Changze was overjoyed and said: "Dad, this kind of scene is actually the easiest to shoot. There are no action scenes that are too difficult, and there are no emotional scenes that are too showy. It's just as easy as you want. As long as Li Qifa can make this fool As for the acting, everything is fine. The film can be completed in a month at most..."

The current average filming cycle for Hong Kong films is less than 18 days, and the fastest one can be completed in seven days. Therefore, it is known as "Seven Days Fresh", which is pure fast food.

Wang Ruolin scolded seriously: "Don't take it for granted! Shaozi, I'm warning you, if you miss this opportunity, I won't even pay attention to you if you eat shit in the future."

Wang Chang said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Dad! I'm not a crazy person. How could I miss such an opportunity? This time, Dadou and Uncle Liu came forward to support Qingzi. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and all the major theaters will give it face. I Guess, even Qingzi only has this chance... It's not that Uncle Six and my dad won't like you in the future, it's just..."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "I understand. Everyone's opportunities are limited. Otherwise, how can we call them opportunities?"

Wang Ruolin shook his head and said: "We are old and our strength has declined, so we cannot do much. But as long as you work hard and work hard, we old bones will still support you."

Wang Chang said with a smile: "Dad, I will trouble you to make a few phone calls for this drama. After the filming is completed, I will ask Uncle Six to help me and make a few phone calls. I guarantee that this drama will be a big hit! But! …”

Wang Ruolin frowned and said, "But what?"

Wang Chang looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Qingzi, are you willing to hide your identity for the time being and let me take over the title of this drama?"

Wang Ruolin said angrily: "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Director Wang, don't you want to lose it, Wanwan Market?"

Wang Chang nodded repeatedly and said: "Qingzi, even if the box office in this city can sell 50 million, but after taking into account the mess and the theater chain's share, the maximum you can get is more than 20 million. After the cost, you can't make much. Now. Although the box office in other places is not as good as the previous year, the total box office is definitely higher than the box office in this city! Especially for red movies, winner takes all! As a mainlander, you will definitely not be able to get in there. So..."

Wang Ruolin looked at Zhang Qing hesitantly, he was not sure whether Zhang Qing would change.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It would be best if this is the case. There are no other requirements for the first drama. It is to maximize the company's reputation. Director Wang will be the producer, of course."

As long as we set up a big banner, we won't be afraid that we won't be able to attract talents.

It doesn't matter what celebrities are, but the talent behind the scenes is a treasure.

Furthermore, if Zhao Qiang wants to return to the mainland to open up channels and obtain the qualifications for co-production between the two places, she also needs a big enough name to do it easily.

As for the owners of the company, it is most appropriate to hide them.

Wang Ruolin said happily: "Qingzi, are you willing to deal with the other side?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Why wouldn't you want to earn their money? After all, we are all Chinese."

Wang Ruolin and Wang Chang burst out laughing after hearing this. Wang Ruolin praised: "Okay, okay! Just know how to adapt. No matter where you are, we are all Chinese. Of course you can make money from your own people."

Wang Chang couldn't help but couldn't help himself. Zhang Qing looked at him and said: "This movie has a limited budget, so Director Wang's director's salary will be lower, 1.8 million. But he can get a share, and it's a stepped share."

…”

This was based on Wang Chang's director's salary in the past ten years, and it was on the low side.

However, before he finished speaking, Wang Chang smiled bitterly and said: "Qingzi, please stop talking. It will make my heart hurt if you talk too much."

Zhang Qing was puzzled, so Wang Chang explained with resentment: "Ah Qiang signed a contract with me before she left. She made it clear that what you said does not count, and she also said that you are a golden boy who makes money. Sure enough, what she gave

Not half as much as you gave me."

Wang Ruolin burst into laughter and coughed. After laughing, he stood up, patted Zhang Qing on the shoulder, and said, "Young boy, don't be a golden boy who makes money. This bad guy is not worth so much now."

Wang Chang: "..."
