Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 34

In the office of Brother Cheng in the Snowman Times, the two sat opposite each other across the desk.

Brother Cheng has read Maggie Cheung’s information, frowned, and asked, “A Jun, how did you know that she is not a local from Xiangjiang?”

Luo Junyan drank the tea and said, “Master, there are two main groups of fans and fans. One is middle-aged women aged 35 to 40, and the other is young men and women aged 15 to 20. If she is a local People, you can dislike me, but it is impossible not to know me.”

Brother Cheng asked again: “How much did you pay for signing a contract with her?”

Luo Junyan replied: “Twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars. A little sister followed me away from home. I can’t keep the price down too hard. Master, you taught me to raise fish in living water.”

After listening to Brother Cheng, he almost didn’t scold him, but he calmed down and said, “It’s dark enough. I can see it. This time, you are planning to lower the cost and shoot the film at the least cost.”

Luo Junyan said: “The main thing is to support newcomers and support younger generations.”

Brother Cheng squinted at him, feeling that he had taught the child crookedly, and then asked: “Twenty thousand yuan can make Maggie Cheung come all the way to Xiangjiang to make a movie with you?”

Luo Junyan stood up, walked to the table, and said: “This girl is a ghost, insisting on signing a one-year contract with a monthly salary of not less than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. Am I not coming to you?”

Brother Cheng said, “What’s the use of you looking for me? I can’t pay her for you.”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, Snowman Era can sign her. She is really good and her temperament is top-notch. As long as you shoot a few ads for Snowman Era, 3000 monthly salary is not a cost.”

Brother Cheng turned his thoughts in his heart, and happened to pick up Jin Dafu’s jewelry advertisement. He has designed the ad slogan “Diamonds are forever, and a diamond is forever”. He really needs a heroine in the advertisement.

Seeing that Brother Cheng didn’t say anything, she knew that it was done, so she continued: “Next year she plans to participate in the Hong Kong sister competition, and the salary does not need to be paid too long. I would not recommend her to participate in the competition, and continue to make movies. Right way, but that girl has too much vanity.”

Brother Cheng said, “Let’s do it, Snowman Times signed her for one year, which is a favor for my apprentice. Who are you going to call for the director?”

Luo Junyan said: “Chen Xunqi, he is good at making this type of film. Director Chen Xunqi has enough level, but the director’s qualifications are not enough, and he is a versatile player who can also play guest roles. He is a cheap candidate. But last year he I just established Yongjia Film Company in a joint venture with Princess Jin. I plan to visit the thatched cottage and invite him out for a low salary.”

Brother Cheng nodded. In fact, he had never heard of this person. Then he asked, “How are you going to get the placement ads for this film?”

Luo Junyan was silent for a while, sat back on the sofa, and said, “Master, or forget it this time, I want to act purely.”

Brother Cheng looked at him and said, “Damn it. I tell you, KFC and big-name women’s clothing will rush to sponsor you, and if you have money, you won’t make a bastard.”

Luo Junyan did not answer the question, but changed the subject and said, “Master, the theme song “IBelieve” that you wrote is really unbelievable. Why are you so talented? I admire it. I have already asked Uncle Zhan to help find it. Someone wrote the words, and Uncle Zhan praised me to heaven this time.”

Brother Cheng thought to himself, but unfortunately he didn’t know the words, so he could only hum and sing the original Korean song, which was even better.

What Luo Junyan didn’t expect was that when the script was handed to Chen Xunqi, Chen Xunqi agreed very happily, and didn’t even care about the pay. He needed the opportunity to direct himself so much. He used his company’s investment film to practice, but he always felt that he was not so open. It just happened to be daring.

So the preparatory work for “My Savage Girl” was speeded up in an all-round way, and the crew began to be formed.

According to Luo Junyan’s budget, the production cost of the entire film is around 750,000. This is because he can’t bear to see low-quality images, which increases the investment in equipment rental. The cost is so low, mainly because the actors’ pay is too cheap, the main supporting role and even the dragon set are counted, and the total pay is only 140,000.

There is a martial arts scene in the film, which is a scene imagined by the heroine. Luo Junyan originally planned to simply find a martial artist to shoot it and it would be over.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhanyuan came to visit, and didn’t know how to get involved in this scene while chatting. As a result, Yu Zhanyuan immediately called each apprentice and asked them to come and star in a guest appearance, and Master didn’t easily ask for his apprentice.

Yu Zhanyuan has a good intention. I heard that the investment of this film is so small, and the forecast for the box office is definitely not optimistic. This is a deliberate addition to some selling points.

Luo Junyan disagreed, this favor was too great, and Brother Long and Brother San Mao both got in. Yu Zhanyuan said that you will also go to their films in the future to make a cameo, even if it is even, just settle the matter.

As a result, a rally turned into a solitary fight by the heroine. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, and Yuan Tak made up 7 people, which coincided with the meaning of the Seven Little Fortunes. Relying on the popularity of these kung fu stars, how can this show drive millions of box office? And no one wants Luo Junyan’s money.

Chen Xunqi joked with Luo Junyan, saying that he is a lucky star in the film industry.

In the next half month, a large number of actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan recommended themselves to Luo Junyan through their agents or in person, including Ye Qianwen and Hu Huizhong.

To be honest, these two are candidates that Luo Junyan has considered. But in the end, she declined, and she declined in front of Maggie Cheung. Of course Maggie Cheung would not know the true thoughts of Luo Junyan’s heart, and would only be grateful for Luo Junyan’s kindness.

The crew of “My Savage Girlfriend” officially started worshipping God on May 21. The day chosen by Brother Cheng was a bit rushed, but the omen was good.

Luo Junyan didn’t cooperate with Snowman Times to attract investment placement ads. Both the hostess clothing and KFC were sponsored in kind, and the money was confiscated without spending the money. Of course, the brand owner was happy and very actively cooperated.

After the filming started, Luo Junyan was completely blinded, and Maggie Cheung was a waste of time and film.

“NG” Director Chen shouted feebly.

Luo Junyan squatted on the ground, looking at Maggie Zhang.

Maggie Cheung hung her head, frowned her eyebrows, and put her hands in front of her thighs, looking very aggrieved.

Luo Junyan said: “Come on, come here.”

Maggie Cheung slowly rubbed in front of him, aimed at him with her eyes, and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Luo Junyan waved his hand and said, “Don’t blame you, blame me. You haven’t learned acting, even if you act poorly, it’s not your problem. But now is not the time to discuss this, I need a solution to the problem.”

Maggie Cheung raised her head and asked, “I have been studying very hard and earnestly.”

Luo Junyan said: “I think the method is wrong. We can’t let a primary school student take a university course, but use the method of treating primary school students to discover her spirituality. Would you like to try my method?”

Zhang Manyu looked at him suspiciously and nodded slightly.

Luo Junyan stood up, pressed her very close, stared, with blue veins bursting out of her neck, and shouted: “What to try? Do you have a face to try? Do you know how much film you waste and how much everyone wasted Time? Let you stand on the street and put on a more domineering look, you are either like a street girl or a bewitched boy, do you have a brain? Let you imitate the drunk appearance, you dangling with your eyes closed, I think you are seasick, do you usually have no common sense of life?”

Maggie Cheung’s tears fell down, shaking her whole body, her hands clenched into fists.

Luo Junyan glanced at the crew members who dared not speak out around him, adjusted his breathing, as if he wanted to calm down.

Then he walked up, hugged Maggie Cheung, and said, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

Maggie Cheung tried to break free from him, shouting: “You let me go, get out.”

Luo Junyan was pushed to the ground by her and looked at her blankly.

Zhang Manyu stared, breathed, pinched her waist with one hand, pointed at Luo Junyan with one finger, and shouted hoarsely: “I’m not going to act. Who do you like to act and whom to act, in short, don’t let me see you in the future, see You will scold you once.”

Luo Junyan stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and said, “OK. GG (Luo Junyan’s nickname, the middle two letters of Maggie), you have to find this state in your performance. No need Think about acting. You don’t need to think about doing good or bad. I just want you to express your true emotions.”

Zhang Manyu stared at him, her mouth twitched twice, and she squatted on the ground holding her head and started howling.

Luo Junyan shrugged to the crew and said, “Don’t surround yourself. Mingzai will help me get a bottle of water. She will have to add water after crying enough to not delay the shooting.”

In the subsequent performances, Maggie Cheung let go a lot, no longer caring about surrounding factors. But finding different emotions and feelings is not easy for a super novice.

Director Chen basically handed over the job of training vase actresses to Luo Junyan. This job has a long cycle, slow results, and if it doesn’t, it will have side effects.

The newcomer stage is not even understandable even when he is acting in his true colors. In particular, the vase actress with a good appearance can attract the attention of the audience, but the expressions and actions made are not substantiated, and they don’t know how to implant feelings into the characters, which will make the audience play.

So the first step after entering the showbiz is usually to accumulate performance experience. Unless your acting talent is different from that of ordinary people, commonly known as the ancestor to enjoy food, or rich experience in life.

So Luo Junyan felt sad, and had to think of various ways to arouse her emotions. What kind of flowers do she like? What kind of sweets do you like? What bugs are you afraid of? What kind of jokes do you giggle? Where is the body even sensitive?

Maggie Cheung’s happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy can basically be controlled by Luo Junyan, provided that Maggie Cheung did not intend to really turn her face, and let him make trouble. If it can make people cheer, who would be willing to make a vase?

Luo Junyan is so powerful that he can be a kindergarten teacher.

It wasn’t until late June that the Seven Little Fortunes had the schedule, and the filming of the scene was completed in one day.

In the evening, Luo Junyan must take the crowd to drink, these few basically like the excitement, so he didn’t refuse too much.

I had a great time drinking this wine. Luo Junyan didn’t care about his seniority either, he always greeted her brother and sister, and asked Maggie Cheung to pour wine at any time. He was not restrained by Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung’s fame, nor did he leave other seniors in the cold. The atmosphere on the scene was very warm.

Jackie Chan drank a lot, gave a thumbs up, and said: “A Jun, 80 and 81 consecutive two years, all of your films are box office champions, I really admire you.”

Luo Junyan said: “Brother Long, actually your movie with Brother Sanmao is much better than my movie, but let me tell you the truth, the theme song of your movie is not good. I take too much advantage in this respect. Many young people go to watch it only when they are rushing to listen to songs.”

Luo Junyan asked them to digest it, and then said: “Brother Sanmao, I am definitely not able to help. I guess I dare to write, but Brother Sanmao dare not sing. Long, you have the basis for singing, that is, every time you choose The songs are not suitable for you. When I finish this film, I will write one for you, and I promise you will catch fire after you sing it.”

Jackie Chan really likes to sing. After listening, he smiled and put his arms around his shoulders and said: “Good brother, interesting.” Then he announced loudly: “Don’t leave for a while. We will change to a fun place for the next game. I will treat you.”

Everyone laughed and applauded, only Yuan Qiu said, “Hey, Along, Ajun is still a kid, don’t take him badly.”

Jackie Chan smiled and said: “19 years old is not young. Jun, you haven’t gone to the overnight club yet, have you?”

Ah Jun said: “I have always wanted to open my eyes, no one is willing to take me.”

Sammo Hung said: “A Jun, you are too courageous. Among us, the money you make is one of the best. Are you afraid that you will be driven out if you have money?”

Luo Junyan smiled and said: “Brother Sanmao, I have always been very courageous. But if I follow the brothers tonight, then I am not afraid of anything. Who dares to look down on me?”

While talking, sister army walked in from outside.

Everyone at the table stood up and said hello, Jackie Chan said enthusiastically: “Hey, army, after you took the golden statue, didn’t you ask everyone to go out and cheer?”

Sister Army smiled and said: “Brother Long, it’s better to meet by chance. I just came to pick Maggie home, and you are all here again. Then there is any show below, why I would please.”

Sammo Hung hadn’t drank too much, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, “Army, do you live with Maggie?”

Sister Army said: “Maggie signed a one-year contract with Snowman Age. She lives in Xiangjiang by herself. I am not at ease, so I let her live with me temporarily.”

Brother Long had already drunk too much and was excited, and said, “That’s right, there is a new Asian Palace nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui. Why don’t we go have a drink together.”

Everyone next to him stopped speaking, Yuan Qiu stood up and said, “You guys can go if you want. The three of us won’t accompany you.”

Sister Army pulled her and said, “Sister Qiu, since everyone is still not having fun and I’ll pay the bill again, we might as well give them one time. At that time, the three of us will be drinking and chatting, singing and singing karaoke. , They are free.”

Including Jackie Chan, they are all dumbfounded. How will they play the show then? How can this be happily promised?

This is the end of the matter, and it is too late to regret. As a result, a group of more than a dozen men and women went straight to the Asian Palace nightclub.
