Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 193 I don’t like it
Wang Rixiang was slightly surprised when he received a message from an acquaintance saying that Huang Ze was looking for him.

Because there is no intersection between him and Huang Ze.

We did meet, but only from a distance and never spoke.

How would he find himself?

Filming?
"That's no problem."

His attitude towards accepting films is simple.

As long as you give me the director's fee, invest in my film, and choose to trust me, then I will shoot it, and I will also try my best to make the final box office worthy of your investment and make money for you.

Huang Ze’s director’s fee is also money, so of course he is willing to earn it.

He even felt that cooperating with Huang Ze was a better choice.

Compared to many movie company bosses, Huang Ze has nothing to do with black things, doesn't have to worry about his life and health after losing money, and is famous for being generous.

What is more important is the number of films produced by Xinghai Films. It is well known that the number is small, and the quality is unexpectedly high.

From the establishment of the company to date, only "In the Mood for Love", "Flavor of Cherry", "As Tears Go By", "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "The Ring" and "Once Upon a Time in China" have been released.

There are seven films in total, four of which grossed over 30 million in Hong Kong Island, two won major awards in Europe, and only one, "As Tears Go By", was a little weaker, but it was also a work that grossed over 10 million in Hong Kong Island.

Since the other party specifically came to me, he must have a good idea.

If you can get a ride, why not?
Thinking that he might usher in a new spring in his directorial career, Wang Rixiang felt much happier and arrived at the restaurant where Huang Ze invited him ten minutes early.

"Director Wang is here?" Huang Ze saw the fat man with a round face that made people feel festive. He smiled and made a gesture to invite him to sit down, asking him to sit opposite him.

"Drink tea."

"Thank you, Director Huang." Wang Rixiang took a sip and said, "I wonder what Director Huang wants to talk to me about?"

"Making a movie. I have a project I want to give to you. Are you willing to take it?" Huang Ze said straight to the point.

"Of course I am willing, but Director Huang, you have to tell me what project it is." Wang Rixiang smiled embarrassedly, "If you give me a movie like In the Mood for Love, I will definitely not be able to shoot it. If you insist on taking it, you will only lose money."

"You can definitely do it, betting movie."

"That's no problem." Wang Rixiang was full of confidence.

He started out making films like this.

His debut film, "The King of Gamblers", was a gambling film, but "The Romance of the Condor Heroes" was popular enough that he filmed a series of romantic comedies in the past two years.

He felt it would not be difficult at all for him to return to his old job.

"Okay, that's settled then." Huang Ze and Qi chatted for a while, "I can't provide the script, but I can give you a rough idea of ​​the story."

"It's actually quite simple. It's about a gambling master nicknamed the God of Gamblers who lost his memory due to being framed by his enemies, but his cheating skills were still there. He was rescued by a gangster who took him to gamble, and later he regained his memory and defeated the villain."

"The highlight of this film is the various dazzling gambling techniques and the excitement of the masters going down the mountain and playing the role of pigs to eat tigers."

"Don't just listen, eat, let's talk while we eat." Huang Ze decided to instill the story into the other party first, and then go to the United States peacefully.

As for Wang Rixiang taking his own ideas to other film companies, Wang Rixiang is a smart man and he believes that the other party will not do that.

After the meal, the general story of "God of Gamblers" was also finished.

Wang Rixiang was a little stunned.

He can't make art films, but he can still guess roughly whether a movie will be a box office hit.

He had a feeling that this film had great selling points!
Maybe he could achieve his own personal box office record. "Director Huang, can you cast Chow Yun-fat for the role of Gao Jin in this film?" Wang Rixiang was asking and suggesting.

"Liang Jiahui."

If you have your own people, of course you should use your own people.

As for the original film's leading actor Chow Yun-fat, Huang Ze didn't want to use him.

The reason is simple, I don’t like it!

Since it is a film produced by my own company, of course I can use whoever I like.

Moreover, Huang Ze feels that even if the leading actor is changed, it may not necessarily affect the final box office. Liang Jiahui now has box office appeal, not to mention his acting skills, he can definitely play the role.

Besides, even if it affects me, I am happy with it!
"Liang Jiahui is indeed a suitable candidate. I was wrong." Since the big boss said so, Wang Rixiang would not force anyone to be hired.

I didn't even bother to think about the remaining characters, "What about the remaining characters?"

"As long as the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, that's fine." There is only Zhou Xingchi left in the Star Ocean among the young male actors. He is not suitable for Chen Daozai. "Just arrange the role of Chen Daozai's buddy for Zhou Xingchi in our company."

"By the way, leave the role of Gao Jin's girlfriend to my secretary, Zhang Min." She played this role in the original film. It's time for her to appear on the stage. It's a bit of a waste of her talent to be a secretary all the time.

"Secretary." Wang Rixiang nodded repeatedly, "I understand!"

You know nothing!
Huang Ze complained in his heart, but was too lazy to explain. This was also a form of protection for Zhang Min.

After all, they were from the same hometown, so he was helping her. He instructed, "Take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her."

"Don't worry, whoever bullies others will be kicked out." Wang Rixiang nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Huang, what do you think of Liu Dehua?"

"Okay, you can handle the rest of the roles. I won't interfere." Huang Ze stretched out his hand. "The rest is up to you. You connect with Liu Zhenwei. I will just provide ideas and pay for it."

"Don't let me down!"

"No problem." Wang Rixiang said with a smile, "The story given by Mr. Huang himself will definitely sell well."

"Then I wish you a big box office success in advance." Huang Ze once again made a big promise, "If it really does sell well, you will definitely get a red envelope."

"Thank you, Director Huang."

After the chat, he took him to the company to sign the contract and gave some instructions to Wang Rixiang and Liu Zhenwei. Seeing that it was getting dark, Huang Ze returned home.

When they arrived at the master bedroom, the child was sitting in the crib, and Gong Xing was writing and drawing something with a brush.

"You can also draw portraits? I thought you could only draw grapes, flowers, birds and the like." Huang Ze teased.

"Of course! It's just that I have never shown it." Gong Xing picked up the pen, blew on it, and handed the paper to Huang Ze.

Above is a cute big fat boy.

"Here, take this painting and look at it when you miss your son in the United States."

"Ah? Is that so?" Huang Ze took it, "Does that mean I don't have to look at photos anymore?"

"You don't have to come back every now and then. Wait until you finish filming Pulp Fiction?"

"Are you willing to do this?" Gong Xing looked at his son, then pressed Huang Ze's shoulders to let him sit down, and put his son in Huang Ze's arms, "Sit tight, I'll draw a picture of you and your son too.
