As Zhou Xinchi did not like to talk much, Eighth Master Yuan was older and was not used to the style of discussing things at the wine table. As a result, Chen Jinfa, Feng Gangpao, and Hong Jinbao were the only ones chatting at the banquet.
"Director Feng, look at your expression. Is there something on your mind?"”
"President Chen, you have good eyes. To be honest, I've saved up a script, but after changing it several times, it still can't pass the review. I'm worried.”Feng Gangpao.
"Is that so? If Director Feng didn't mind, he could say it out loud for everyone to discuss.”
"Alright, let's get Director Chen, Director Zhou, Teacher Hong, and Teacher Yuan to give us some advice."”
This was the story of two groups of thieves on a train, who were involved in a theft and anti-theft campaign against a peasant worker named " Shagan." Wang Bo and Wang Li were a pair of pickpocketing lovers. The two of them extorted a BMW from a rich man and wanted to sell it in the west.
Thus, on the train ride, he met a migrant worker named Shagan. He brought the money he earned from working to his hometown to build a house. After chatting, the two of them learned that Shagan was really stupid. He actually believed that there were no thieves in the world, so they decided to help him make his dream come true.
However, who would have thought that there would be another group of pickpockets on the train. They soon targeted Shagan and wanted to take his money away. Therefore, the two groups of people started a series of open and secret fights around Shagan's money.
When Chen Jinfa heard this, he knew that it was the plot of " A World Without Thieves ". He thought that it was indeed time to shoot this work.
Hong Jinbao: " Creating intense dramatic conflict in a single scene. Good work."”
"Of course!" Feng Gangpao replied proudly,"It's just that I've changed several versions of this script, but I still can't get it approved.”
"Then what is the reason?"
"You're not allowed to appear as a thief!”Feng Gangpao explained as he gritted his teeth.
This time, everyone had no choice. The biggest highlight of this work was the pickpocketing and anti-pickpocketing between the two groups of thieves. If one of them changed their position and identity, the conflict would be weakened a lot, just like plain water that had lost its taste.
Eighth Yuan tried to ask,"Can we take the path of being in sync?"”
This question was on point. The mainland's standards for movies were quite strict, but as long as they " burned some newspapers ", pulled in a Hong Kong investor, and took the road of co-production, the standards would increase.
"I had this idea before. I even specifically found Heavenly King Liu, Milk Tea Liu, Liu Jiadong, and the others to act in it. However…"
Before he could finish his words, those who understood naturally understood.
Feng Gangpao was with the Huayi Brothers. They played in the circle culture. Two thousand years ago, no one was interested in them. Two thousand years later, with Wang Shuo's departure to the beautiful country, he could no longer stand out in the film industry. Feng Gangpao and Chen Kaige could not defeat the Northwest gang at all, so they gradually opened up the circle.
However, it wasn't just anyone who could join. The first to be recruited was the group of old and young people from the previous dynasty. Their iconic work was 2002's " Big Shot." Why was the female lead Guan Zhilin?
They would understand if they checked her background. In the end, she had too much dark history and could not be promoted at all. Was she playing golf?
After a few years, Guan Xiaotong found an opportunity.
However, these were all things for the future. The Huayi Brothers would not accept Hong Kong investment now. Even if they really accepted it, it would not be the project of the iconic figure, Feng Gangpao. It was even more impossible for the other party to occupy the main investment position. This was a matter of the company's ranking.
"I have an idea," Chen Jinfa thought for a while and said,"Maybe we can try it."”
"What is it?" Feng Gangpao looked at him with hope.
Chen Jinfa shook his head and said," I'm a businessman. Business is profit. If you can use my method to solve this problem, I have a condition."”
Sure enough, it was impossible for a pie to fall from the sky for no reason.
"What condition?"
"I want to participate in this project."
"Only participating?"
"That's right." Chen Jinfa knew that the Huayi Brothers would never give up their main investment position in " A World Without Thieves ", so it was better to stop as soon as possible.
Chen Jinfa's conditions were really beyond Feng Gangpao's expectations. He thought that Chen Jinfa wanted to take the opportunity to get a role for Liu Tianxian, so he thought hard for a long time. But who would have thought that his condition was actually to participate in the project.
"I personally think very highly of Director Feng's ability, so I want to get on such an express train. What do you think, Director Feng?”
"It's not something I can decide when it comes to investment.”Feng Gangpao did not refuse and said truthfully,"But later, I will contact President Wang as soon as possible.”
At this point, the meal became interesting.
Perhaps because he had something on his mind, Feng Gangpao became much quieter, and the dinner quickly came to an end.
Lying on the bed, Chen Jinfa was smoking while hugging Liu Xiaoli. He was as happy as a god.
"I thought you didn't like Feng Gangpao?"”
"Yes, I am!"
"Then why are you still working with him?”
"It's not embarrassing to earn money!"
"You think so highly of him?“
"Feng Gangpao is a nobody. He has his own methods and foresight. Unfortunately, his ambition is higher than the sky. He's destined not to become a master, but as a movie businessman, he'll definitely be very successful.”
This was not Chen Jinfa's subjective judgment, but a conclusion based on Feng Gangpao's later career as a director. It could be said that the opening of the mainland's Spring Festival was a commercial film. However, it was precisely because they followed the old man's footsteps and began to make art films. Whether it was 'Aftershock' or 'Youth,' they were art films, but the filming methods were very commercial. After they were released, they did not lose money.
Because he knew exactly what the audience wanted to see. It was precisely because of this cleverness that he was able to create the current director of commercial films.
It was also because of this intelligence that he could never become artistic.
Even though he had the heart, he was powerless. Even if he spent eight hours studying the script with the beautiful host at night, it could not compare to Xu Fan's light " men don't suffer losses " and " I'll take the money."
"Then do you not like me either and only covet my beauty?”
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoli seemed to have thought of something. She propped up her upper body with her hands and exposed her fair and smooth skin and graceful figure to the air. She asked very seriously.
"There are many beauties in the world, why do I only covet your beauty?”"This is love!" He Zu Dao retorted.”
After saying that, Chen Jinfa turned around and pressed Liu Xiaoli onto the bed. Perhaps it was because of the intense exercise that made him look a little blurry. In his eyes, Liu Xiaoli was getting younger and younger, as if she was 17 years old again. Even Chen Jinfa was more energetic.
