At about 11 o'clock in the evening on March 4, Xie Changhua, Wang Jing and Cheng Xiaodong were sitting together eating and chatting in an ordinary food stall. Under Wang Jing's guidance, they gradually became familiar with each other. The atmosphere gradually improved.

"Xie Sheng, I heard that you want to make an action movie. How much money do you plan to invest?" Xu Xiaodong did not mention joining, but just asked first.

Xie Changhua smiled and said: "At least 300,000, maybe 600,000 or 700,000 at most."

Upon hearing these words, the other two people were stunned, and then their breathing became rapid.

"Ahua, are you sure it's 600,000-700,000? It's a big production. Are you sure they're not trying to trick you?" Wang Jing widened his eyes and said, while Cheng Xiaodong also looked at Xie Changhua eagerly.

"Of course not. This time I will invest at least half and all my wealth. You don't have to persuade me. I decided to take a gamble. If I die, my eggs will fall into the sky, but I will die for thousands of years." Xie Changhua looked at it seriously. After taking a look at it, he said that he had thought about this decision for several days.

Wang Jing moved the corner of his mouth and did not continue to persuade. He just said: "Since you said so, I won't persuade you anymore. I will help you change the script when I go back."

"That would be the best, but we have changed it for so many days and it's almost done."

Seeing Xie Changhua being so courageous, young Cheng Xiaodong felt moved, but also a little unsure. He drank a glass of beer and asked with a smile: "Sir Xie, can you let me read the script first? I want to know what your requirements are." , if I can’t meet your requirements, I won’t accept it, otherwise it won’t look good if you fire me.”

"Of course. To be honest, you are just one of my candidates. I also have some tests. If you can't meet my requirements, I will replace you even if you don't tell me." Xie Changhua looked at Wang Jing. Knowingly, I handed him the rough plot direction, fighting level, and scenes that I had prepared.

After a while, Cheng Xiaodong came to his senses, closed the script and said: "Sheng Xie, I can see that you are well prepared. 600,000 yuan is enough to complete the filming of this movie, and the funds are still sufficient, but I It’s very strange, aren’t Liu Jia Ban and Yuan Jia Ban better, especially for a kung fu comedy like yours, Yuan Jia Ban who just finished filming Drunken Master is more suitable, why did you come to me?”

"I said it's cheap, believe it or not!" Xie Changhua said.

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head seriously and forced a smile: "Sheng Xie is really joking. I invested all my belongings in it. If you say it is to save money, I won't believe it."

"It's not that I don't want to, but it's a bit inappropriate. Yuan's class is really good, but on the one hand, they charge a very high price, and whether they can arrange it in the right place, my requirements for kung fu dramas are different. I want it." It's elegant and agile. I know you came from the drama class. What I need more is beauty. Even for the sake of beauty, you don't have to go against the common sense of kung fu." Xie Changhua raised his glass and saluted him, and he immediately picked up his glass and returned. one time.

After taking a sip, Xie Changhua continued: "Don't worry, I have booked another martial arts designer Tang Jia. He can set up hard bridges and group fights and change them with you. He is not strong yet and is easy to get along with." , I hope your two methods can be integrated."

Cheng Xiaodong frowned: "Are you going to add some flowers and guns?"

"Yes, but it's more realistic. For example, in the opera, when someone falls to the ground and stabbed with a gun, it feels a bit fake. I want it to be more realistic, with coherent, compact and beautiful movements."

Cheng Xiaodong smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, I'm familiar with this and I know how to change it."

Xie Changhua glanced at him and shook his head: "This is not the point. Regarding the action scenes of my film, the cooperation of the fighting actors and the position of the camera are very important, even the first one. If the time difference between joining the battle is too much Or if you block the position, the effect will not meet the requirements. You have learned in the theater troupe that drama is about the control of rhythm, so people who study drama will become famous very quickly when they practice. So I really need you to train them, even you Its role is very important, equivalent to the first military commander."

"The number one martial artist?" He was frightened by the pie painted by Xie Changhua.

Ever since Liu Jialiang successfully transformed from a martial artist to a director, and then to Hung Jiabao's success in recent years, every martial artist wants to be a director, but first of all, you have to be a credible martial artist to have a chance. This is obviously a unique opportunity. What a great opportunity.

"We can take some time to demonstrate. If you can't meet my requirements, I can't use you!" Looking at his excited and confused expression, Xie Changhua began to apply pressure. If he couldn't withstand it, the price would be several hundred lower. .

Cheng Xiaodong thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Sheng Xie, please give me some time, and I will try it out right away. You can see what happens tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is only night, and we all have to work. It's a bit late to get off work. Besides, Mr. Cheng, maybe you need to be more patient. You may not understand the situation at once, and it may be early in the morning by the end of the day. "Xie Changhua thought for a while and said.

"That's no problem. Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll prepare my martial arts masters tomorrow and wait for your news." He said immediately.

"Okay, then it's a deal!" Xie Changhua readily agreed.

"Okay, come on, come on, since we all talked so happily today, how about a drink!" Wang Jing picked up the wine glass at the right time.

"Yes, Xie Sheng, come on, let me toast you." Cheng Xiaodong immediately raised his glass.

"Hey, let's cooperate!"

A few people drank a cup, their faces turned red, and they gradually let go of the topic.

"Brother Changhua, you are also drinking here. Boss, please bring a few more three-headed abalone and a few bottles of wine. The account will be settled on my head." Just as the conversation was getting heated, Chen Xi walked over casually and took a picture. He raised his chest, turned around and yelled at the boss.

"Okay, Brother Chen will be here soon." A voice immediately came from the kitchen.

After Chen Xi sat down, he smiled and said, "Brother Hua, we are still talking about business so late."

"Where is it? It's a private matter. This is Master Cheng, the martial arts instructor we hired for the next film. We are talking about how to shoot it." Xie Changhua introduced him.

"Oh, Master Cheng, hello, hello, I am also one of the investors of that film, but everything in the filming is decided by Brother Hua." He immediately extended his hand and greeted with a smile.

"Oh, hello, hello." Cheng Xiaodong shook it eagerly.

After seeing him greeting the two of them, Xie Changhua patted his chest and said, "Why, you're here to eat too!"

"How could it be? It's only 12 o'clock so early, and it's not even supper time yet. After 12 o'clock, it's time for us to get up, collect protection fees, and just go to work." Chen Xi poured a glass of wine and started drinking.

"Come on, come on, let's have a few more drinks. Let me first toast the great directors, screenwriters and directors in the future." He said, holding up the cup.

"Don't be ridiculous, we are all panicking!" Xie Changhua touched him and shook his head.
