Entertainment: Succubus Monk, Starter Tornado Boy

Hong Kong is far away on the other side of the ocean.

It was dark over there in the United States, but it was just dawn over here.

Fanxing Film and Television Company.

Early in the morning.

Xu Ruoxuan, Jia Jingwen and Shu Qi were already sitting in rows in the conference room.

In addition to the three of them, there were also leading actors Xiao Long and Shao Wen, as well as senior brother Da Shu, second senior brother Xu Jinjiang, and Liu Xun, who played the role of the Shaolin abbot. (The monk who plays the life-threatening Sanskrit in A Chinese Ghost Story)

The director is Xiao Long. He came to Hong Kong Island in the late 1980s to develop his career.

In his early years, he made a movie"The King of Southern Boxing" co-produced by the mainland and Hong Kong, but the response was average.

This also caused Xiao Long to lose the opportunity to direct movies. When he came to Xiangjiang, he mostly served as an assistant director or did photography.

He must have the ability, otherwise he would not dare to come here to hang out in Xiangjiang, but he is not very lucky and no one appreciates him.

This also means that Xiao Long has never had the opportunity to direct a movie on his own.

Not long ago, after Li Zhi established Fanxing Film and Television, he signed a ten-year contract with director Xiao Long under the recommendation of friends in the industry who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to work

, and became the exclusive director of Fanxing Film and Television.

In Li Zhi's view, no matter how capable the director is, as long as he can follow the script step by step and follow the script, he will definitely be good.

Besides, the other party has been in Hong Kong Island for seven or eight years, and he is somewhat familiar with the filming style here.

So I’m not worried that this time the movie will be messed up if I leave it to him.

After a brief meeting, Li Zhi stood up and said:"Everyone, the script has been given to you. The filming will officially start in three days. I hope everyone will work together to make the filming of our"Shaolin Laughter in Hong Kong" go smoothly. , it became an instant hit after it was released!"

"bang bang bang……"

There was thunderous applause.

Then they each left.

Nowadays, filming in Hong Kong is very simple. If you give me a script, you can join the crew and film the next day.

Unless you are acting in a fighting scene, there is no need for prior training at all. The"733" meeting was over, and Xiaolong and Shao Wen immediately ran to play with their familiar Xu Ruoxuan.

Xu Ruoxuan happily took her two children to visit the company.

Although Fanxing Film and Television Company is not a big company, it has rented an entire floor and has all the equipment that every department should have.

Seeing Xu Ruoxuan and the others taking Xiaolong and Shao Wen out to play, Li Zhi smiled and shook his head.

Li Zhi is very optimistic about this drama. After being in the film industry for so many years, she still has some experience in evaluating the box office of a movie.

This movie not only plays on the fame of Master Yichen, but also has the gimmick of Shaolin Temple monks starring. At the same time, it also closely follows the current news and has a funny plot. It is hard to think whether it will be popular!

Out of the conference room.

Li Zhi walked straight to her office. She was now the general manager, and she needed to do many things herself, especially the budget of the first film, which must be strictly controlled.

Although the company is all old people in the industry, the budget must be limited by her as a temporary producer.

To avoid exceeding the budget during filming

"Manager Li!"

At this moment, Lin Shiyuan, the department manager in charge of the trainee project, came over quickly.

Li Zhi stopped and said,"What's wrong?"

"Manager Li, we have made a budget. Do you want to take a look at it?"

"Come in with me."

Li Zhi walked into the office with Lin Shiyuan.

After sitting down, she picked up the budget report handed over by the other party and browsed it quickly.

"In other words, it will cost us a total of 10,000 yuan to train a trainee in three years?"

"Yes, Manager Li. Lin Shiyuan nodded and said:"

We have calculated it. If we are paid according to the minimum wage level every month, a trainee will have a salary of at least 25,000 Hong Kong dollars per year, which is about 75,000 Hong Kong dollars in three years."……"

"In addition, we provide food and accommodation, and we also invite music teachers, dance teachers, performance teachers, and musical instruments to contact us.……"

"The cost of training each trainee for three years is about HK$500,000."

Listening to the other party's words, Li Zhi touched his chin and thought about it:"Do you think we can make back this money?"

"This can definitely be earned back.

Lin Shiyuan smiled and said:"Our agency contract has a starting period of 10 years and a maximum period of 20 years.""

"After three years of training, no matter whether the trainees can successfully debut and become big stars or celebrities in the future, at least they will not be so bad that they cannot even earn 500,000 yuan."

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make sense, and nodded:"Well, let's go make arrangements. Starting from tomorrow, go to major schools, weekly magazines, and advertise for trainees."

"Good profit manager. Lin

Shiyuan nodded in agreement, and then asked:"Then, how many trainees will we recruit in the early stage?""

"Let’s start with ten people."

Li Zhi thought for a while:"Ten trainees, depending on the situation, we will choose the best to form a group and debut."

Ten people?

Lin Shiyuan thought for a while, and the number of people is enough.

After all, it takes several years to train, and no one can guarantee who will be more capable of debuting in the end. If ten people are selected, even if a few are ineffective, then the rest People can also debut together.

The most important thing is that the more people sign contracts, the company's costs will also increase.

Ten people, 5 million in three years, seems like a lot, but in fact it is acceptable, it only costs more than 100 a year. Ten thousand, evenly divided, only a few hundred thousand per month.

That afternoon,

Lin Shiyuan formulated a plan for publicity and recruitment. At the same time, she also contacted major weekly magazines and sent people to post them at the entrances of major schools. Promotional advertisements.

The reason why we don’t advertise in newspapers is mainly because we are afraid that too many people will come by then.

Who doesn’t want to be a big star these days?

And when recruiting trainees, there is no strict restriction that they must be beautiful women. Anyone who has a skill or is willing can sign up.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the facial features are good, and you can't just become a trainee if you are a crooked person.

Even if you are outstanding in singing or dancing, you can't Who cares about you after you debut?

"Cage, why did you suddenly disappear again?"

Nicolas Cage's manager David was very unhappy with his artist's behavior of running away without even saying hello.

In his opinion, this was Nicholas's behavior of ignoring him.

Nicolas Cage smiled:"I just went to New York, so there's no need to be so nervous, right? And I went to learn Kung Fu from a master. You don’t know, but today I met a kid at the Shaolin Martial Arts Hall. He……"

"Enough Cage! David frowned and said,"I know you like Eastern culture, and you even think you are an Eastern dragon. None of this matters.""

"But you have to understand that you are now on the rise of your career. Don’t be affected by these external things. Your kung fu is good, but you are not taking the route of an action star."

"Alright alright!"

Seeing that David was about to start preaching again, Nicolas Cage quickly raised his hands in surrender:

"I listen to you and will never go out privately again. Now it’s time for us to talk about the upcoming filming dates."

Seeing him raise his hands to surrender, David was very satisfied with the other party's attitude, which showed that Nicholas was still afraid of him. He took out five scripts from the briefcase and placed them one by one on the table.

"This is the crew that recently extended an olive branch to you. They are either leading actors or very important second male leads, and their pay varies."

David is a qualified agent. He will not arrange for Nicholas to make bad movies just because the film studio pays him a lot of money.

Now Nicholas is on the rise of his career and has made more than a dozen movies.

Whether they are literary films or comedies, they have all achieved success in their respective fields.

Therefore,

David has always carefully chosen movies for him, not just to allow the other party to continue to maintain this success so that he can shoot blockbusters in the future. And asking for more remuneration?

Look at our Cage, he has made more than a dozen movies, whether they are literary films, comedy films, or crime films, all of them have been huge successes!

Nicholas flipped through these five scripts and found that they were all Literary film or comedy, which made him frown:"There is no commercial blockbuster?"

"Yes, but I refused"

"Refused? Why?"

"Because it was a big bad movie"

"Well, you have better taste than me, so forget it since it’s a big bad movie."

Nicolas Cage knows that his agent has a good ability to read scripts.

His success in recent years is actually inseparable from the help of his agent, who selects the highest quality and most likely successful scripts for him. (Read Baoshuan novels, Just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Shawkshank Redemption? Religious movie?"

Nicolas Cage picked up a script, looked at the name on it, and looked at David in surprise.

"There's a bit of a religious flavor to it, noNot much, mainly about how a person escapes from prison"

"If it's jailbroken, forget it."

When he heard that it was a movie about prison escape, Nicholas instantly lost interest. He turned around and looked at the script called"Trouble in Paradise". When he turned it over, he found that it was a comedy. After reading a few pages of the script, Nicholas felt He said with interest:"This seems quite interesting."

"It's quite interesting. In fact, I also recommend that you take this movie. This movie will give you the highest salary, and the chance of success is very high. I have read the script. If it is filmed, it should be released on Christmas Eve next year."

"You know Cage, Christmas is all about comedy and family fun"

"That’s it then. Help me with the rest.……"

Nicholas was just about to turn his agent away when he suddenly remembered the Eastern Saint whom he met in New York this morning.

At that time, the other party said that if there was anything difficult to decide, he might be able to come to him to help resolve any doubts.

Thinking of this, Nicholas hesitated and said:"Let's put the script here for now. I just have nothing to do tonight, so I can read it to pass the time.""

"Okay, I'll leave first then. I'll help you finalize the appointment for this movie."

"Okay David."

After seeing off his agent David, Nicholas picked up the five scripts on the table and turned back to the study upstairs.[]

Just when I was thinking about whether to call Dongfang Shengzi, I realized that it was already eleven o'clock in the night.

Forget it, let’s contact the Holy Son tomorrow morning.

Nicholas thought for a while and put the scripts in the drawer. Finally, he turned around and went back to the bedroom to take a shower and go to bed.

………

Early the next morning...

After Lin Chen finished his daily homework in the room, he walked downstairs and happened to see Senior Brother Yongming cooking.

He went over to say hello and then walked towards the door.

He was going to practice in the garden at the door..

The mansion provided by Mr. Chen is very large because it is located on the outskirts of the city.

There is also a large garden of dozens of square meters at the door.

Lin Chen came to the right side of the garden. This was a large grassland where he could use his fists and feet to stretch his muscles at any time.

Luohan Quan is one of the most basic boxing techniques of Shaolin Temple.

It requires up and down movements, step changes with hands, and a combination of strength and softness. It is an offensive and defensive technical routine.

Lin Chen started practicing Luohan Boxing when he was three years old, and it has been seven years now.

A set of boxing techniques is naturally powerful and elegant.

"Wow!"

Just when Lin Chen finished playing a set and was about to call it a day and go back to the house, suddenly a little girl with long light blond hair appeared on the other side of the garden fence. She looked about eight or nine years old.

The little girl While applauding, he walked to the fence and said excitedly:"Hey, are you practicing Denis Kung Fu?"

Hiss~~

This little girl looks so familiar.

Lin Chen's eyesight is very good, and he can clearly see the other person's appearance from several meters away. With fairly delicate facial features and a straight bridge of nose, isn't this the future Black Widow? Carrie Johnson!

Still the young version... No, not the young version, the lolita version of Black Widow.

Tsk tsk, not to mention, the Black Widow when she was a child was less sexy and more innocent and cute. She still has a different flavor. Well

"canyouspeakEnglish"

Little Scarlett asked curiously when she saw Lin Chen standing there looking over without saying anything.

"yes!

Lin Chen came back to his senses, walked over with a smile and said,"I can speak English.""

"Wow!"

As soon as he walked in, little Scarlett could see Lin Chen's appearance clearly.

He looked a little taller than her, and his face looked cute and charming.

The most important thing was the red pattern like a sticker between his eyebrows. Not only was he It’s beautiful and gives people a sense of mystery.

It’s so cute!

And there’s this little bald head, I really want to touch it.

What should I do if it’s so cute?

Isn’t it love at first sight?

Little Scarlett’s heart skipped a beat She was beating wildly, covering her heart, and her face turned red.

Compared with Asian peers, Westerners have received relevant education very early.

Even though little Scarlett is only ten years old this year, she seems to be just a loli. , but as a Westerner, she is no longer a little girl who doesn’t understand anything.

You must know that Westerners are very precocious. When a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walks on the street, puts on some makeup and wears a set of more mature clothes, who He couldn't tell her actual age.

Seeing Scarlett being fascinated by his happy Buddha image again, Lin Chen had no choice but to interrupt:"Hi, my name is Yichen."

"Hello."

Little Scarlett quickly came to her senses, blushed and said a little shyly:"My name is Scarlett, Scarlett Johansson."

"Hello Scarlett, what did you ask me just now? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly"

"I'm asking you, was it Denis Kung Fu that you just practiced?"

"Yes, 2.2 Nice Kung Fu is broken down, but it’s just Shaolin Kung Fu."

"Shaolin? What is Shaolin?"

"You can think of it as a church"

"church?! So you are from the Eastern Church?"

"Yes, I am a monk, you can understand me as a priest."

After communicating with Nicolas Cage yesterday, Lin Chen understood that it is quite difficult to explain that he is a monk.

Instead of doing this, it is better to directly translate it into a priest.

"Are you a pastor? Are there such small priests in the East? Doesn't this count as hiring minors?"

Scarlett Johansson was stunned. She didn't expect that the boy in front of her who looked about the same age as herself was actually from the Eastern Church.

Uh~~

As expected of an old beauty, she often hires minors to work.

Lin Chen explained:" I was abandoned outside when I was little, and was adopted by my master into the Shaolin Temple.……"

"So pitiful~ Chen, you must be very lonely without your parents."

Scarlett Johansson's eyes instantly turned red, thinking that the cute little priest in front of her was actually abandoned in the wild since she was a child.

At this moment, the maternal nature engraved in Scarlett's genes overflowed, and tears flowed out..

However, she cried and cried, and she was still very grateful to the great leader of the Eastern Church for picking up Chen Chen and adopting him.

Otherwise, she probably would not have seen such a cute little priest.

"You are so pitiful, wuwuwu……"

"Amitabha!"

Looking at the other party crying,

Lin Chen subconsciously bowed his hands, but soon realized that the other party didn't understand.

He also immediately said:"Scarlett Donor, it's okay, I'm used to it, and I live now. Very good, thank you Scarlett donor for your concern"
