In the study room, Wu Jianye held Wu Qichen who could not speak yet with one hand, and teased him gently with the other hand, and then smiled and lectured to Tsui Hark.
Tsui Hark just mentioned that he wants to remake Jin Yong's "The Swordsman".
Wu Jianye naturally watched the first episode of Tsui Hark's version of "The Swordsman" in which Xu Guanjie played Linghu Chong and Zhang Min played Ren Yingying. In fact, when the film was just being planned, Tsui Hark's choice for Ren Yingying was not Zhang Min. , but Ye Qianwen, but Ye Qianwen refused Tsui Hark's invitation due to health reasons.
As for the real reason, it is actually because in another time and space, martial arts movies have long since declined. Even if Tsui Hark is the producer, some people don't believe that such a movie can be a hit.
This can also be seen in the decline of martial arts movies and the sensation caused in Hong Kong after the success of the movie "New Dragon Inn".
After the success of the first "Swordsman", Tsui Hark released "Swordsman 2" two years later, of which Lin Qingxia became the biggest beneficiary.
But what Wu Jianye didn't expect was that Tsui Hark would have the idea of adapting "The Swordsman" at this time. You must know that in another time and space, this movie would not be released until 1990.
"What does Fengge Entertainment mean?" Tsui Hark asked nervously.
"Let's see, you ask your film studio to make a budget, and then Debao Haoting will invest in this movie!" Wu Jianye did not say that Fengge Entertainment would invest, but Debao Haoting. court.
Tsui Hark said it doesn’t matter which company invests, as long as it is willing to pay, "Thank you, Director Wu. I told Leon about this movie, but unfortunately at that time, Leon was not optimistic about the prospects of martial arts movies in Hong Kong. "
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I guess at this time, Leon will no longer have this idea."
Only then did Tsui Hark think of the terrible nature of the Xiangjiang film industry. With the success of "New Dragon Inn", how could Lei Juekun refuse him? He would probably be eager to film it by himself. Thinking of this, Tsui Hark regretted coming here. Got it
Thinking of this, Tsui Hark felt a little embarrassed. After all, Tsui Hark's film studio was founded by Lei Juekun, and now he is looking for Wu Jianye's investment. If this reaches Lei Juekun's ears, I'm afraid it will cause a stir. Some misunderstandings.
Wu Jianye was so smart. Seeing Tsui Hark's embarrassed look, he immediately smiled and said, "Well, let me call Leon and listen to his opinion!"
"That would be great!" Tsui Hark showed a happy smile.
It's a pity that Shi Nansheng was not next to Tsui Hark at this time, but stayed outside chatting with Gong Yin and Zhong Chuhong. If Shi Nansheng were here, he would definitely not let Wu Jianye make this call to Lei Juekun, but would I suggest you make the call yourself.
Wu Jianye held Wu Qichen with one hand, picked up the phone with the other and dialed Lei Juekun's number.
After the call was connected, Wu Jianye quickly explained the matter and stated that if Lei Juekun was interested in the film, they could cooperate among three parties.
After listening to Wu Jianye's introduction, Lei Juekun was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and asked, "So Tsui Hark is now in Director Wu's villa?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's right. I had a great time chatting with Director Xu, so I invited him to my home as a guest."
Lei Juekun's tone was so calm that no one could guess what he was thinking: "Director Wu, don't forget the agreement between you and me!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I always mean what I say."
Lei Juekun then smiled and said, "Well, since Director Wu is also optimistic about this movie, then our Golden Princess will also vote for it!"
Wu Jianye "Happy cooperation!"
Lei Juekun "Happy cooperation!"
After Wu Jianye hung up the phone, he smiled and said, "The matter has been discussed. You can prepare when you get back!"
Seeing Wu Jianye, Tsui Hark solved his worries with just a few words, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Wu."
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You're welcome!"
Tsui Hark then introduced his thoughts on the adaptation of "The Swordsman" to Wu Jianye, and Wu Jianye also lamented Tsui Hark's unrestrained imagination. At this time, Tsui Hark did not have a formal script, and many of the ideas he proposed, They are all different from the version in Wu Jianye's memory.
However, Wu Jianye has no objections to this. Movies have always been like this. In the initial preparation stage, both the director and the screenwriter will come up with countless ideas, but the final movie script is a process of making choices. After the movie is formed, It's another process of making choices.
It wasn't until the servant came to remind him that it was time to eat, that Wu Jianye carried Wu Qichen and Tsui Hark out of the study. After coming out, Wu Jianye handed Wu Qichen to the nanny and went to the restaurant with Tsui Hark.
At this time, Gong Ying, Shi Nansheng, and Zhong Chuhong were already sitting here waiting for them. Seeing Xu Hark's excited look, Shi Nansheng knew that the matter must be done.
The five people at the table were also chatting and laughing, and seemed very harmonious.
"Master, I have a call for you!" At this time, the servant in the living room suddenly came over and whispered to Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye nodded, "Sorry, everyone, I'm going to take a call."
Then Wu Jianye got up and went to answer the phone.
After picking up the phone, Wu Jianye heard Huang Jianxin's nervous voice on the other end of the phone, "Oh no, something happened to Teacher Wu!"
Wu Jianye said calmly, "What happened? Speak slowly. Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"
Then Huang Jianxin nervously told Wu Jianye what had just happened.
It turned out that with the success of "New Dragon Inn", He Qing and other people who came to participate in the promotion were also very happy, so in the evening, everyone staying in the hotel suggested going out to take a look at the night scenery of Xiangjiang.
Naturally, He Qing, Wu Bo, Zhang Hanyu, Zhao Xie and others had no objections. We were all young people, and naturally we were very yearning for the colorful world of Xiangjiang. So we responded with a chorus, and everyone left the hotel in a mighty manner.
After walking around in the night scenery of Xiangjiang for a while, they felt a little hungry, so they came to a food stall. With the popularity of "New Dragon Inn", He Qing also became famous in Xiangjiang.
However, Xiangjiang, a small place, has always had no shortage of stars, so everyone is relatively rational. After all, He Qing is not a real superstar yet and cannot cause too much of a sensation.
However, there were still more people around them than at other tables, so they were stared at by a group of people eating at the food stall.
Jimmy Zai is a double-bonus stick in Hong Kong Yixing. He has always been arrogant. Today he and his brothers visited a nightclub. It was a time of high spirits, so he took his brothers to the food stall to celebrate.
When He Qing and others came to the food stall, they had already drank a lot, so when they saw He Qing, Jimmy Zai immediately showed a surprised expression.
When the subordinates saw this, they naturally understood what their boss meant, so they immediately walked to He Qing's side and drunkenly asked He Qing to go over and drink with their boss.
He Qing had never seen such a scene before, so he naturally refused directly. The other party had already drunk too much. When He Qing refused, he immediately felt that he could not lose face. In addition, they had swept the place before, so they were arrogant.
At that time, if Zhang Hanyu and others were not there to stop him, He Qing would have been slapped.
But even so, He Qing and others were surrounded. Looking at a group of short mules with tattoos, He Qing and others were naturally more worried. Huang Jianxin was the most sober, and immediately took out his big brother to Wu
Jianye called.
After listening to Huang Jianxin's narration, Wu Jianye said calmly, "Don't worry, tell me your location and I will rush over immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye called Zhou Tao. Zhou Tao would naturally have no problem solving this kind of matter.
After putting down the phone, Wu Jianye also asked his servant to take his coat.
"I'm sorry, there's something going on at the company, you guys eat first." Wu Jianye came to the dining table while putting on his coat.
Gong Ying stood up and looked at Wu Jianye worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's a small matter!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
This kind of thing is indeed a small matter for Wu Jianye, but Huang Jianxin and others brought Xiangjiang themselves, so he naturally had to be at the scene.
Soon Wu Jianye arrived at the scene. At this time, the scene here was about to enter a chaotic situation.
There were at least twenty people gathered around a dining table at this food stall, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
"Brother, don't move yet!" At this time, Dai Zhen stopped Wu Jianye who was about to step forward.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment, sat back in the car, then opened the car door and looked at the situation over there. Dai Zhen and four bodyguards came with him.
The four bodyguards were dressed in black suits and had strong bodies. They walked over directly. The group of short mules were shouting something at this time. After seeing the four bodyguards, they were stunned for a moment and were subconsciously shocked by their momentum.
A path was opened, and then through this crack, Wu Jianye saw what was going on inside.
Inside, a sturdy man wearing a vest with his arms open and a cobra tattooed on his belly was sitting arrogantly on the dining table and was talking to He Qing and others who looked worried.
The cobra was naturally Jimmy Zai. The reason why he did not take action at this time was not because Huang Jianxin made a phone call, but because he wanted to show his demeanor in front of He Qing. Well, the demeanor of exposing his belly.
Jimmy Zai also saw four bodyguards at this time, but Jimmy Zai was already drunk at this time, and with the help of alcohol, he did not take them seriously.
This is just like ordinary people who drink too much. Before drinking, I am a part of the world, but after drinking, the world is mine.
"Hey, there are bodyguards, but it's just the four of you, so I'm afraid it won't be enough!" Jimmy sat there with a golden sword, looking at the four bodyguards with disdain.
The four bodyguards didn't say anything. They just wanted to make sure that the person was fine. At this time, they just needed to wait for backup to arrive.
When Jimmy saw that they were ignoring him, he suddenly felt ashamed and dropped a tea cup on the dining table to the ground.
"Damn it, if you dare to show off to me, teach them a lesson."
Following Jimmie's order, more than twenty people gathered around the dining table were about to take action, but were immediately interrupted by the harsh sound of brakes.
Looking at this moment, a dozen vans suddenly surrounded us from all directions and stopped directly around. Then we saw a lot of people getting out of the vans.
A large encirclement was formed directly.
Then several more Mercedes-Benzes drove up, and the person getting out of the latest black Mercedes-Benz at the front was none other than Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao, who got off the car, also saw Wu Jianye and walked over quickly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go take a look!" Wu Jianye also walked out of the car at this time and said calmly.
In a silver-white old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz, two old men in their fifties dressed in Tang suits got out. They also walked a few steps quickly and came to Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, the people under my command are ignorant and bumped into people from your company."
The old man was a talker in Yixing. He was supposed to be eating dog meat hot pot in Kowloon City, but he rushed over immediately after receiving the call.
Don't look at how powerful these associations are in the movies in Hong Kong. In fact, these associations are not worth mentioning in front of big financial groups.
To put it clearly, it is too easy for these big financial groups to deal with a society. If they just use some sweeteners, they may mess up the entire society.
Wu Jianye didn't say anything and walked straight over. At this time, Jimmy Zai's people saw this formation and were sober even after drinking too much wine.
When Jimmy saw the explosion, he immediately stood up and walked a few steps quickly, "Boss, why are you here?"
"Humph, if I don't come, you will be in big trouble. Why don't you apologize to Mr. Zhou and Director Wu quickly!" Kuan Bao reprimanded. In fact, he also wanted to keep Jimi Zi. If the other party refused to give up, Jimi Zi
I guess I won’t be able to continue living in Hong Kong.
Wu Jianye didn't give them this chance at all. He didn't even stop and walked directly to He Qing and others.
Seeing that He Qing and others were still in shock, he asked, "Did you suffer any loss?"
He Qing shook his head and said, "No, fortunately, Director Wu, you came in time."
"Well, let's go back to the hotel first. Someone will take care of things here!" Wu Jianye said with a smile when he saw that everyone was fine.
Then he led He Qing and others through the crowd again. Halfway there, he suddenly turned back and said to Zhou Tao, "There are more people here. Please arrange two cars for me."
"Okay!" Zhou Tao nodded.
Then Wu Jianye didn't say anything else, took He Qing and others into the car and left directly. From the beginning to the end, he never spoke to Kuanbao and others.
Seeing Wu Jianye's momentum, Wu Bo and the other young men couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Several people got into the arranged car and were taken directly back to the hotel by Wu Jianye.
As for the food stall matter, Wu Jianye believed that Zhou Tao understood what he meant.
"I didn't take care of your safety this time. Take a good rest after you go back and everything will be fine!" Wu Jianye said to He Qing who was sitting in his car.
