Chapter 21: Infernal Affairs
Yang Siwei made a phone call to remind Li Chen that "New Police Stories" was on the same day as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
Li Chen slapped his forehead, he really didn’t pay attention to this matter.
Li Chen also felt a little bright when he met Ying Huang, a model-turned-artist director in the company.
Beauty like that of a fairy is two completely different kinds of beauty
It is a kind of intellectual beauty mixed with valor and capability and the unique confidence of successful women.
The other party contacted him before "Jonky Road" was released, but Li Chen didn't have time to socialize at that time.
After all, I just had a bad career at that time, and it didn’t mean anything if I couldn’t get it on the stage.
If this person hadn’t said that he intended to introduce and distribute stones in Hong Kong today, he might have been on the plane by now.
Li Chen shook hands with the other party and motioned for the other party to sit down.
"Director Huo is saying that the Emperor wants 10 million to bring in stones?"
Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "That's right, Director Li."
Li Chen could vaguely guess the other party's intention.
But he still asked knowingly: "There are already pirated versions of Stone on the Internet, wouldn't the Emperor be unaware?"
Huo Wenxi said with a professional smile: "I know."
Li Chen leaned back slightly and said with a smile: "This type of movie has its limitations."
Huo Wenxi said: "We know this too."
Li Chen nodded and said: "So? Gain favors at a loss?"
Huo Wenxi was slightly surprised.
Li Chen said again: "If that's the case, it's not necessary."
"Although Rongchen Pictures is not as big as the Emperor, it is not inferior to the Emperor."
Huo Wenxi suddenly realized that the other party had misunderstood, but the other party's tone was really loud.
Ten million dollars is enough to get three melons and two dates. Li Chen’s economic conditions are as transparent as before the Emperor.
Ten million is definitely not a small amount to him.
Huo Wenxi was somewhat relieved: "Director Li, you have misunderstood. Our Director Yang did not mean this."
Li Chen raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Do you want to cooperate in the future, and take 10 million as sincerity?"
Huo Wenxi paused: "Well, Director Li knows all about it."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Then just say it. I don't like this method when money comes up to clear the way."
Huo Wenxi paused again, and then said apologetically: "Sorry, Director Li, It was our Emperor who was rude."
Huo Wenxi secretly thought that what Yang Dong said was indeed correct.
Talented people have weird tempers, and there are still people who don’t like money?
“Our Director Yang said that Emperor hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with young talents like Director Li in the future.”
“Ten million is a stepping stone. Of course, Director Li His talent is obvious to all.
“Emperor fully believes that with Director Li’s ability, there will be no shortage of investment. "
Li Chen smiled and said: "Okay, don't put a high hat on me. I am a straightforward person, please forgive me. ”
Huo Wenxi smiled and said: "Director Li is too polite, please tell me."
Li Chen nodded and said: "I see the sincerity of the Emperor."
"But since it is cooperation, then It’s profitable for both parties.”
“I can’t do anything just taking advantage of it”
What does Director Li mean?
Li Chen said: "Forget it about stones. The biggest difference between Hong Kong Island and the Mainland is the film system."
"Films that cannot be made in the Mainland can be made in Hong Kong Island."
Huo Wenxi smiled Said: "Director Li is going to Hong Kong Island to film?"
"If so, the Emperor can escort Director Li."
Li Chen waved his hand and smiled: "You misunderstood, I I have been very busy in the past two years and have no time at all.”
"But I don't have time. The Emperor has everything ready. The only thing missing is a good script."
Huo Wenxi understood and said with a smile: "That's it, Director Li, can I read the script first?" ?”
Li Chen smiled: “Of course it’s no problem.”
Li Chen took out a document bag from the safe and handed it to Huo Wenxi. Huo Wenxi opened the document bag and found the three characters "New World" on the first page of the script
Huo Wenxi became more and more fascinated as he watched. Half an hour later, Huo Wenxi closed the script and let out a sigh of relief.
Li Chen smiled and said: "How is it? Director Huo."
Huo Wenxi nodded and said: "It is widely rumored that Director Li's scripts are famous for their exquisite conception and bold style. Today I believe it."
"This "New World" can completely reflect Biao Huanya's Infernal Affairs, and is even more realistic than Infernal Affairs."
Li Chen said: "Yes, my "New World" ” is also inspired by “Infernal Affairs”
"You can ask your opinion, Director Yang, and bring my words to him."
"I will write the script for this drama and take 30% of the share. I will not care about anything else."
“But when it comes to the selection of actors, I don’t want bad people with bad views to appear.”
“Those bad guys who are eating the Chinese’s food and smashing the Chinese’s troubles, I don’t want to be in my company. "I saw it in the movie produced."
Huo Wenxi was stunned: "I understand what Director Li means. I will return to Hong Kong Island today."
The paparazzi captured Huo Wenxi leaving Rongchen Pictures.
The news came out that afternoon.
“Emperor’s artist director visited Rongchen Pictures. The details are unknown. Fok Wenxi looked relaxed when he left Rongchen Pictures.”
“It is suspected that Director Li’s next work will be with Emperor Produced by cooperation. "
The efficiency on Hong Kong Island was very fast. Yang Shoucheng personally called me that night.
"Director Li, this is Yang Shoucheng."
"Hello, Director Yang."
"I have read Director Li's script and it is a good one. But the investment must be a lot, especially It’s about dealing with Infernal Affairs.”
“The actors’ salary is not comparable to what it was two years ago. Director Li’s 30% share is a bit too much.”
Li Chen laughed. Said: "It doesn't matter, Director Yang. Cooperation is something you and I are willing to do."
"If Emperor can't accept it, I can find another company to cooperate."
Over there, Yang Shoucheng looked at his company's screenwriting team, and they all shook their heads slightly.
Yang Shoucheng said: "Okay, just do what Director Li said."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Yang, the facts will prove that Director Yang's choice today is absolutely That's right."
Yang Shoucheng said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, Director Li, I will arrange for Wen Xi to finalize the contract as soon as possible."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Li Chen hung up the phone, New World will definitely not lose money.
Regardless of the box office, even if the copyright is sold to Southeast Asia, you will definitely make a profit without losing money.
Yang Shoucheng hung up the phone.
Several screenwriters in the office said one after another: "Director Yang, in this case, the risk for us is too great."
Huo Wenxi stood aside silently.
Yang Shoucheng ignored the three screenwriters and turned to look at Huo Wenxi: "Mani, what do you say?"
Huo Wenxi didn't even look at the three screenwriters: "I think Director Yang's decision is completely It is in the interest of the group.”
“Director Li is worthy of Director Yang’s investment.”
Yang Shoucheng laughed and said, “Mani still understands my feelings.”
Huo Wenxi had already seen what his boss meant.
Whether the other party agrees to reduce the share or not, the boss has already decided to cooperate before he called.
If the boss doesn't want to cooperate, there is no need to call the other party, you can just decline the other party politely.
She had a hunch that the boss's decision was definitely worth the money.
Early the next morning, several acquaintances called to ask what was going on with Li Chen.
Han Sanping was the first, followed by Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei and so on.
Li Chen didn’t hide anything. When they heard that filming in the mainland was not possible, they didn’t say much.
Han Sanping also complained that Yang Shoucheng was stretching his hands longer and longer.
Looking for collection and reading, family members
