President Jia's visit to Hong Kong this time is not just to attend a premiere. One of his main purposes is to find Xingye to shoot the journey to the West.
Everyone has his own Douban in his heart. Among the Douban in Jia Yapeng's heart, two of the three films with the highest scores belong to Xingye, one is Dahua journey to the west, the other is Kung Fu, and the other is wandering the earth.
As a reborn person or a very rich reborn person, our president Jia decided not to waste his time and get all the three best films in his mind.
If you have money, you have to be willful. Just don't destroy the original.
Besides, the fate of the previous life's "journey to the west" is really too bumpy. Unlike the current "Farewell My Concubine", although the current start of "Farewell My Concubine" is still a little bad, it will be plain sailing. Later, even because of the great international influence, China had to lift the seal and allow "Farewell My Concubine" to be released in China.
However, in the few years after birth, Dahua journey to the west is basically synonymous with bad films. It is the culprit who destroyed the original book of journey to the West. It should be killed.
It was not until a few years later, with the prevalence of deconstruction, that the value behind the journey to the West and the true feelings contained in it were accepted by people, and the love between zhizunbao and Zixia fairy became one of the classic love in memory.
And that sentence of loving you for 10000 years is a classic among the classics.
Since President Jia has established Daqian entertainment, all these films must be put into his pocket, otherwise he will be reborn.
Therefore, before coming to Hong Kong, President Jia, with his own memory, wrote all the scripts of the upper and lower films of Da Hua's journey to the West.
Thanks to Jia Yapeng's Xueba body, some forgotten memories have become profound. As long as president Jia recalls, he can recall all the classic paragraphs, lines and even the expressions of the actors in the journey to the West.
Of course, there are some things I can't remember clearly. President Jia gave free play to his creation. Finally, it took less than 5 days to sort out the whole book.
Then president Jia is going to shoot the film.
However, President Jia is still a little uneasy, because "journey to the west" was filmed in 1994 and officially released in 1995. It is now January 1, 93. In history, there is still more than a year for film shooting. If the original director Liu Zhengwei has already got out the script, President Jia will be a little embarrassed.
Mr. Jia can copy, but if he already has the book and creativity, Mr. Jia will copy again. Although there is no legal problem, this behavior will be a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, after thinking about it, President Jia decided not to go to Xingye first, but to go to Liu Zhengwei first to find out whether the yuan director already had the script and creativity of Da Hua's journey to the West.
If not, Mr. Jia will have no psychological burden to copy. If he already has it, Mr. Jia will buy the script or simply invest in shooting himself. Anyway, as long as he has money, Mr. Jia doesn't believe he can't get it down.
Then president Jia went to find Liu Zhengwei.
At this time, Liu Zhengwei was the most proud. His film gambling Saint won 40 million box office. His "92 black roses against black roses" helped him win the Hong Kong golden statue award and the honor of best screenwriter.
A while ago, he and Wong Kar Wai founded the "x-east film company" [PS: the name doesn't dare to be typed. God knows how he thought of such a name]. It was at the peak of the limelight when he lived in the villa area in Hong Kong.
"President Jia, I heard you want to invest in movies!" Zhu Qiushui had contacted Liu Zhengwei before, and Liu Zhengwei also checked the background of President Jia. He knew that Jia always came from the mainland, so he was despised in his heart.
However, Jia always has a lot of money, so he still has to receive him.
"That's great. Our film company has plans to shoot two films this year. If President Jia is interested, welcome to invest!" Liu Zhengwei enthusiastically handed over the materials of the two films to President Jia. President Jia took a look. Good guy, they are all famous films.
One is called forever, and the other is called east evil and West poison.
By the way, although Liu Zhengwei said there were two films, in fact, President Jia also found the name of the film "Dongcheng Xijiu" under "east evil and West poison".
It turns out that this film has already been made!
"I'm very interested in this film!" President Jia picked up the materials of "East and west", smiled and said, "can I invest?"
"It's a little late. It was finished last week, and now it's being edited in the later stage!" Liu Zhengwei found that President Jia actually saw the film, and immediately smiled and said, "in fact, the film was given away for nothing. He invested in the film The director of was worried that my brother's film was too artistic and didn't make money, so he grabbed me for the top bag last month and tossed around for a week with the original team of "east evil and West poison" to get out of this film. "
"As a result, up to now," east evil and West poison "has not been filmed, and many people are still suffering in the desert!"
"Can I invest in this film?" Mr. Jia asked with a smile.
"Of course there's no problem with investment, but this is a film that the investor of" east evil and West poison "has invested. If Mr. Jia wants to join the investment, he has to ask the investment talents there. I don't have the right to make a decision!" Liu Zhengwei said with some embarrassment.
"By the way, are you interested in these two films? Now these two films can be invested!" Liu Zhengwei said hurriedly.
"Isn't it that someone has invested in" east evil and West poison? "Mr. Jia asked curiously.
"Well, because there is a lot of capital pressure on investors, they made it clear that they are willing to introduce third-party investors!" Liu Zhengwei said.
"Ha ha, I'm not interested in literary and artistic films. I'd better forget it!" President Jia put aside the materials of "east evil and West poison". Are you kidding? Wong Kar Wai's films were born to win awards. They can't earn a penny.
If you can win an Oscar or something, it doesn't matter if Mr. Jia invests. But although the name of "east evil and West poison" is very famous, he hasn't even won the golden statue award in Hong Kong. Only when Mr. Jia is willing to invest can there be a ghost.
"Then I'll help Mr. Jia ask about" east becomes West! "Liu Zhengwei said. Hearing that Jia Yapeng refused to invest in" east evil and West poison ", Liu Zhengwei looked a little impatient.
"Director Liu, in fact, I came here today mainly for another thing. I want to independently invest in a film related to the journey to the West. I don't know if director Liu has any idea.
"Movies related to the journey to the West!" Liu Zhengwei thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "this is not."
"Oh!" President Jia nodded and smiled. It's not good. There's no psychological pressure when copying.
But then Liu Zhengwei smiled and said, "by the way, I remember, when I watched the film of journey to the West Pansi cave when I was a child, I thought I would make a film related to Pansi cave in the future, the small waist of those spider spirits..."
Liu Zhengwei said, unconsciously showing a silver smile on his face. Although he quickly reacted, he was still somewhat embarrassed when looking at President Jia.
"Mr. Jia, if you want to invest in journey to the west, we might as well take a picture of Pansi cave. With the Tang Monk and the seven spider spirits of Pansi cave as the protagonists, there are not only laughter, stories, but also some color!"
"What do you think?"
After hearing what Liu Zhengwei said, President Jia basically understood completely. At most, Liu Zhengwei has only a simple introduction in his mind. He doesn't even have a specific idea. He can copy the script without any pressure.
However, considering that Liu Zhengwei was the original director and screenwriter of the film, it was a good idea to shoot the film for people who really knew what to do, so president Jia nodded "Heroes think alike. I didn't expect director Liu to go with me. I just wrote a movie script related to Pansi cave. Please see director Liu. If you are interested, I don't know whether director Liu is willing to make this movie!"
After Jia Yapeng finished, he put a screenplay named "Dahua journey to the west" in front of Liu Zhengwei.
