Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 932 Change the script

Chu Jingrong saw Baoyi, his elder sister, kissing him a few more times, and he couldn't help but feel panicked again.

Moreover, he felt that his biological father was a little unreliable. He frowned and thought about it, then suddenly let out a cry.

After attracting everyone's attention, he hurriedly shouted to Zhaodi, "Auntie, I need to pee."

Zhaodi hurried over. After all, Baoyi was still a 10-year-old girl.

Although he felt that he could help Chu Jingrong, when he saw Zhaodi reaching out her hand to Chu Jingrong, he handed the little guy to Zhaodi without thinking.

However, after Zhaodi took the little guy to pee, Chu Jingrong stayed in Zhaodi's arms and refused to get down.

Baoyi was also attracted by the fact that Chu Xiangqian wanted to read the script, and saw Chu Jingrong hugging Zhaodi's neck and refusing to let go.

He put his little face in Zhaodi's arms and pretended to be asleep, and only then did she let the boy go.

The group entered the set and found that the crew had already started work.

Even the second group didn't go home last night and were still filming other actors' night scenes.

While Zheng Shufen was calling to ask for the script, Chu Xiangqian, as the boss, felt it was difficult for him to be lazy since his employees were working so hard.

We did shoot a few scenes first.

It was not until noon that I had time to finish reading the script while eating.

To be honest, from Chu Xiangqian's perspective, although the script is a comedy, there are not many funny moments.

It makes people feel that they want to make a comedy, but they are also a bit cautious about their identity and always want to move towards artistry.

It seemed out of place to Chu Xiangqian, but that was how things were in that era.

The real start of the entertainment-to-death trend was after the mid-80s, when the Hollywood gang emerged and truly abandoned artistry and fully entered comedy mode.

However, everything has its pros and cons.

The movie has more laughs, and the vulgar style is also very popular in Hollywood movies.

In just a few years, this group of comedians from the bad gang has ruined themselves.

But after the 90s, the comedy model is indeed completely different from before.

Chu Xiangqian put down the script, frowned and thought about it. Overall, this "A Twelve Pieces of Gold" is not bad.

Having Baoyi and Chu Jingrong play the children of the protagonist couple has no negative impact on them.

But Chu Xiangqian finally asked someone to bring a pen and changed a few paragraphs in the script.

And he kept revising, and by the time he put down his pen, an hour had passed.

It can be said that he changed one third of the script.

Not only was it funnier, but several passages that he thought had problems were also changed.

However, since it is a movie produced by Great Wall Pictures, Chu Xiangqian does not need to worry about tarnishing the reputation of China.

When he looked up, besides Zheng Shufen, Zhou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were also staring at the script in their hands.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head and smiled, handed the script to Zheng Shufen, and then said to Zhou Wenhuai, "Ask Great Wall Pictures if they need any investment.

If Chu joins us in a three-way partnership, we will promise them that we will be responsible for overseas distribution."

Zheng Shufen was overjoyed after hearing this.

Zhou Wenhuai nodded quickly. A script revised by the boss himself must be a profitable script.

Not to mention that when Chu Xiangqian continued to film, Zheng Shufen laughed several times after watching one-third of the movie.

Wrinkle Huai and others became more and more curious and expectant.

After waiting for a while, when they finally got the script, Zhou Wenhuai and He Guanchang read it together, and they were also amused by the plot or lines from time to time.

The two looked at each other and thought, they didn't expect that the boss's comedy could be so funny.

If we don't invest in this script, it will be the fault of the two of us, the general manager and the production manager.

He hurriedly discussed it with Zheng Shufen.

Unfortunately, there was no need for Zheng Shufen and Wrinkle Huaida to cooperate with Great Wall. As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard that he had changed the script, Chu Film agreed to distribute it overseas.

Without thinking twice, he agreed to give Chu an investment share of 10 Hong Kong dollars.

The investment amount also increased from 30 to 40.

Great Wall Pictures holds half, and the rest is divided equally between Zheng Shufen and Chu.

Not only was the overseas distribution given to the Chu family, the film was also shown in Hong Kong Island in the cinemas jointly owned by Chu Xiangqian and Bai Fanyu.

Now, the box office that Great Wall had originally expected to be 700,000 or 800,000 suddenly turned into a local box office of over one million in Hong Kong Island.

The box office in Southeast Asia exceeded three million.

Although European and American audiences have a low level of acceptance of this kind of East Asian localized jokes, the European, American and Indian markets are large and there are many countries.

The buyout fee is between 20,000 and 30,000 US dollars for each country, and between 50,000 and 60,000 US dollars. There are still some 500,000 or 600,000 US dollars.

The income increased several times in an instant.

So even though the share is only half, Great Wall will definitely make more money.

And with this cooperation, Great Wall’s films will be distributed not only in Europe and the United States in the future.

In Southeast Asia alone, the box office is one or two times higher than that in Hong Kong Island.

If you don’t agree to this, you’re a fool.

Chu Xiangqian filmed non-stop and had no problem with his physical strength. He continued filming until the afternoon and the progress was far beyond expectations.

As a result, the original plan for tomorrow's special performance had to be brought forward.

But because it was early, the props team was not ready yet.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian simply got into the car and went back to the top of the mountain, carrying Chu Jingrong, who had been having fun all day, and Baoyi, who had also been playing all day.

As for Zheng Shufen, she went to Great Wall Pictures in the afternoon.

In addition, there were more than a dozen bodyguards including Zhang Tianzhi, and in the crew, all the martial artists from Sammo Hung and Guo Zhenhua who were free came to act as security.

I wasn't worried at all that Baoyi would get lost.

As soon as Chu Jingrong got in the car, he whispered to Baoyi for a few minutes in his father's arms and fell asleep unknowingly.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but gently kiss his baby son on the forehead.

Then he looked at Baoyi and whispered, "Do you want to sleep on your uncle's arm?"

Baoyi didn't want to sleep at first, but when she heard this, she nodded with a smile.

She moved a little, put her arm around Chu Xiangqian's arm, leaned against him, and when she closed her eyes, she felt so safe in her heart.

Before she knew it, the little girl fell asleep.

More than an hour later, Chu Xiangqian called Baoyi a few times in a low voice, and the little girl woke up yawning.

When he saw that they had reached the top of the mountain, he woke up Chu Jingrong with a smile.

As soon as she entered the door, Xue Jinglan saw that her baby son's clothes were somewhat black. She knew very well that the boy had played crazy outside today.

He glared at Chu Xiangqian several times, then ordered the three Zhaodi sisters to take Jingrong and Baoyi to wash and change into clean clothes.

Before they knew it, ten days had passed and Baoyi and Chu Jingrong had finished filming their scenes.

Chu Xiangqian's role in the entire movie is limited to the plot on the cruise ship, and several scenes of other actors have not been filmed yet.

According to the director and Zhou Wenhuai, everything can be done in three days at most.

And there are actually very few scenes that need to be filmed on the cruise ship.

Most of the scenes on the cruise ship were shot in the casino that was converted from an indoor setting.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but sigh again that the efficiency of Hong Kong filmmakers was really high.
