Chapter 2131 Something is going on
After entering the set, Shao Yifu's car drove straight to the administrative building and stopped, followed closely by Chu Heng's motorcade.
Getting off the car and looking at Chu Heng who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Shao Yifu became more curious about the identity of this guy. He saw his eyes flicker and joked with a smile. : "When you go out with so many people, do you have many enemies?"
" Son of a rich man, why don't you sit down in the hall? It's better to be careful." Chu Heng stepped forward, looked around curiously, and asked, "How are you going to take me?"
"Look at you. , do you want to have a cup of tea upstairs first, or do you want to take a walk first?" Shao Yifu asked.
"It's not too tiring to come here by car, let's go shopping first."
"Then let's go to the video studio first? I'll show you how the movie is shot."
"Okay."< br>
“Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
Shao Yifu, who originally thought about sending an assistant to take Chu Heng around, suddenly changed his mind on the way there after seeing his arrogance and wanted to be his tour guide himself. Pay attention to yourself, and the second is to get closer to each other.
So the two of them, accompanied by their respective assistants and bodyguards, set out from the administrative building and walked to the studio not far away, talking and laughing.
“The Clear Water Bay Studio was put into use in 1961, covering an area of 58,000 square feet. At that time, there were only two studios and three outdoor locations. Over the years, it has been built one after another, and now there are seven studios and six A location.”
“Oh, the investment is big enough. It must be worth a lot of money, right?”
“It’s still worth tens of millions... Then this is the Imperial Garden. If you watch more of our movies, you will find that many palace scenes are filmed here. ”
“Hi, I said it looks familiar.”
"That's Minguo Street over there."
"It's so beautiful!"
Shao Yifu, who was introducing as he walked, couldn't help but glance sideways at Chu Heng, who responded to every sentence, this kid Can't it be about cross talk?
But whether you should say it or not, it is really comfortable to talk to him, and he will definitely not let your words fall off the ground.
The group of people left not long ago and soon came to a movie room. At this time, a movie was being filmed inside. The costumes should be from the Republic of China. A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was competing with others. His style was more realistic. , whirring and punching in a serious manner, far less gorgeous and exaggerated than later generations.
The arrival of Shao Yifu and Chu Heng immediately attracted the attention of people in the studio.
"Hello, Uncle Six!"
"Mr. Shao."
"Good morning, Mr. Six."
Amidst the greetings, the director came with Several people came over: "Why is Uncle Six so busy today?"
"Bring a little brother here to show you around." Shao Yifu pointed at Chu Heng who was looking at the shooting scene inside, and then asked: "Is it the Iron Arhat that we are filming now?"
"That's right. ."
"How's it going?"
"Okay. It will be completed in five days, and it will be released almost next month. "Haha, Ah Jun is indeed a fast shooter, and it will only take less than half a month." Shao Yifu was very satisfied with this. He has always been stingy. Not only was he harsh on his employees, but he also had to bargain with others when his son was kidnapped.
The director completed the filming task in such a short time, but it could save him a lot of expenses, so he was naturally happy.
"You can finish a movie in half a month? So fast?" After hearing this, Chu Heng turned around in surprise. He had heard about the speed of Hong Kong movies, but this When I heard it with my own ears, I was still surprised.
The director didn't think it was a big deal, and said with a smile: "Half a month is normal. Lao Wu next door completed the filming in five days, and the post-release was completed in half a month. That's fast." "Then." How much can a movie make? ”
“It’s not necessarily a million, or it could be a loss. I lost hundreds of thousands on my last movie, which almost scared me. I'm running away because I'm afraid Mr. Liu will find someone to kill me," the director joked.
"Ajun, who do you think I am? It's only a hundred thousand, can't I afford the compensation?" Shao Yifu gave him a bluffing look.
“One million?” Chu Heng couldn’t help but be stunned, and quickly asked: “Which film has the highest box office this year?”
“Luo Wei’s Five Tigers Slay the Dragon, Guang Dao It sold for a total of 1.4 million," the director said with envy.
Why is the Hong Kong box office so low now?
Chu Heng blinked and asked again: "How many movies can Shaw Brothers make in a year?"
"It's hard to say, it could be 20, 30, 30 or 40, and in addition to movies, we also make TV series." Shao Yifu said with a smile.
Made, the old sow doesn’t dare to give birth to piglets like you.
Chu Heng couldn't help but was speechless, and then he began to calculate silently in his heart. Counting thirty movies a year, the domestic box office plus the overseas box office, even if there is profit and loss, there must be 20 to 30 million, right? ?
It’s still a bit of a head-scratcher.
After thinking about it secretly, he was about to go to other studios when he suddenly saw a young man carrying a table walking by. Without looking at it, he could see a table with one corner missing. ear.
This ear is so familiar to him!
"Li Yiqiang?" Chu Heng shouted immediately.
Li Yiqiang, who was about to deliver the props, immediately stopped when he heard this. He turned his head in surprise and saw that it was really Chu Heng. He said in surprise: "Master Chu!"
He quickly put down his things and turned around. Came running over.
“Why are you here?”
"I was taking a walk, but you, why are you here?" Chu Heng looked at his outfit and asked with a smile: "Did you become an actor?"
"Hey, it was also a coincidence. That day I Since you left..." Li Yiqiang immediately told him his experience.
"So that's it." Chu Heng nodded suddenly, feeling that it was quite suitable for him. Being a star didn't require brains.
"What, Xiao Chu, do you know each other?" Shao Yifu on the side saw this and stepped forward to ask.
Chu Heng's heart moved, and he immediately pulled the person over, first introduced Shao Yifu to Li Yiqiang, and then said: "Uncle Six, this little brother Li Yiqiang, I didn't expect that he would come to your place to make a living. Here you are, please take good care of me.”
"Haha, it's a small thing." Shao Yifu looked at Li Yiqiang up and down. He was strong and good-looking, and his appearance was passable.
Immediately he asked the director again and learned that this kid was good at kung fu and had some intelligence in his acting skills, so he offered him a favor and asked with a smile: "The young man has a good foundation. Are you interested in signing a contract?" Our Shaw Brothers?”
< br>"Thank you, Mr. Shao, for your support." Li Yiqiang bowed excitedly. He has been here for a few days and likes the work here very much, especially after learning that actors and stars can earn tens of thousands for a movie. After getting paid, I decided to join in.
Because this is the only opportunity he has access to at the moment to make a lot of money.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. I am willing to sign you because your conditions are good. If your conditions are too bad, it will be useless for anyone to say anything." Shao Yifu turned to his secretary and waved to him, and ordered: " Give this little brother an actor contract, just... a guarantee of four hundred and one month."
After hearing this, Chu Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes. You can take such a big breath in four hundred months. Mr. Shao really deserves your reputation.
