Chapter 178 There is no way Hong Kong Island is without law!
Seeing that Wang Jing refused, Zhou Shengpeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not rush to speak, but took out a Marlboro and threw it on the table.
The fly next to him had been following Zhou Shengpeng for so long that he could tell at a glance that Big Peng was unhappy.
As a younger brother, he felt that he should share the worries of the boss.
"boom!"
Wuying didn't dare to stand there anymore, so he leaned over and slapped the table.
He glared at Wang Jing fiercely and said, "My boss invited you to be the director because he was giving you face."
"How dare you be so shameless?"
Wang Jing also decided to go all out, shouting, "Joining a gang is great! There's no way Hong Kong Island is lawless!"
"Even though I'm just a little-known director, I still have human rights and the right to choose!"
"You guys want to use force, I'll just fight you to the end!"
Zhou Shengpeng raised his eyebrows and without saying a word, reached into his arms.
In fact, he took out a handful of black stars from the system space.
Then, holding a cigarette in one hand, he casually threw the gun onto the table.
The gun rotated 180 degrees on the table, with the muzzle pointing directly at Wang Jing.
"Forehead..…."
black Star?
At this moment, Wang Jing’s face turned pale and he was immediately choked with speech.
He had originally planned to fight to the end, but suddenly he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
Damn it, no matter how tough you are, who can be tougher than a gun!
He was completely dumbfounded, and his calves were shaking uncontrollably.
Wang Jing was also a smart guy, and he immediately put on a flattering smile.
Then he shrank his neck and said with a mean smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
"Mr. Zhou, that's not what I meant."
"I'm worried that I don't have enough experience and I might not be able to capture the effect you want."
"But if you don't have any requirements for directing experience, I can give it a try."
"It's normal to have some misunderstandings at work. There's no need to pull out a gun or a knife."
Seeing that Wang Jing's attitude had softened, Wuying put away his ferocious face and stood beside Zhou Shengpeng again, acting as a transparent person.
Zhou Shengpeng looked at Wang Jing, who could only hold his ground for three seconds, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He pushed the gun in front of Wang Jing and said, "This is a prop I prepared for the Jianghu movie I'm about to shoot. It looks realistic enough, so let's use this standard."
"Mr. Zhou is really humorous." Wang Jing smiled bitterly.
He cursed in his heart, what a flop, the filming hasn't even started yet, and he still carries a prop gun with him.
It's obviously true, okay? Do you think I'm blind?
"This is the script. Director Wang can take a look at it first."
Zhou Shengpeng took out a stack of photocopied scripts, with "A Better Tomorrow" written on the top cover.
Wang Jing opened the script and quickly immersed himself in it, as if he was caught up in the grudges and hatreds of the martial arts world and couldn't extricate himself.
The more he looked, the more his heart pounded.
For him, who lacks opportunities and good scripts, this script is too attractive.
“This script is so brilliantly written.”
"It is full of poetic and romantic sentiments, expressing emotions through objects, focusing on the friendship between people, the violent entanglements between people, and the advancement of the relationship between the times."
"It fully showcases the romance of men."
"Especially the line: You don't owe me anything. I never force my friends to do anything they don't want to do. I have my own principles, and I don't want to be trampled underfoot all my life.
"You think I'm a beggar. I've been waiting for three years just for an opportunity."
"I want to fight for my own success, not to prove myself great. I want to tell everyone that I must get back what I lost!"
“It’s so passionate and full of emotion.”
"There's also a line: Sir, I haven't been a boss for many years."
"This sentence is simply the soul of the entire script, and it immediately brings out the flavor of the Jianghu years to the extreme."
"I am confident that once this film is released, it will become a unique twist on the commercial gangster film and a pioneering work in the new-style martial arts film."
"Wonderful, so wonderful!"
"I've decided to make this movie."
Wang Jing was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he looked very energetic.
This film is so much to his liking that he would make it even if he didn't get paid.
He had a feeling that this movie would be a hit.
Zhou Shengpeng took out a contract slowly.
Strike while the iron is hot. Since Wang Jing has decided to make this movie, he doesn't like to drag things out.
Wang Jing was a little surprised at Zhou Shengpeng's control over people.
He took the contract and began to read it page by page.
I didn't expect that the other party was well prepared, as if they had expected that a contract would be signed during this trip.
However, with such a high-quality script in hand, only a fool would refuse it.
What's more, Zhou Shengpeng decided to invest six million in the filming, which is a huge investment in Hong Kong Island today.
With so much money, there is plenty of room for props, actors, and special effects, and we can definitely make a masterpiece.
The time, the place and the people are all right, so there is no need to hesitate.
Wang Jing also felt a little regretful. He looked at the boss of the society with tinted glasses. He didn't expect that not all the people in the society were there to make bad movies and launder money.
There are also people who sincerely want to make good movies.
Without hesitation, he signed the contract. Putting down the pen, he looked at Zhou Shengpeng and asked weakly, "Can I ask a question? Who wrote this script?"
"I write."
Zhou Shengpeng couldn't say that it was a reward from the system.
Maybe this script will not be published until six years later, and I can only shamelessly say that I wrote it.
Wang Jing was even more excited when he heard that the script was written by Zhou Shengpeng.
In his impression, ten people in a gang couldn't even get a high school diploma.
It is such a surprise that Zhou Shengpeng can write such a touching script.
He also admired her immensely in his heart.
Faced with Wang Jing who instantly turned into a fanboy, Zhou Shengpeng touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
It seems that to be a plagiarist, one must have strong psychological qualities.
After Wang Jing signed the contract, he couldn't wait to ask, "Boss Zhou, when will our film start shooting?"
"Also, regarding the main roles and actors, is there anyone currently interested in collaborating?"
A good movie requires director, actors and post-production, none of which can be missing.
Otherwise, even if the script is written to the sky, if the actors, director, and post-editing are not good enough, it will become a bad movie.
Therefore, he is very concerned about the selection of actors.
For example, many big bosses in social groups will spend money to praise their women just to win their smile.
Or arrange some people with connections, which will greatly affect the shooting effect.
Wang Jing didn't want his pioneering work of transformation to be ruined because of this.
The most important thing is not to waste such a good script.
Zhou Shengpeng actually had an idea a long time ago, which was to just follow the original cast.
However, he still pretended to be cautious and said, "I would like to ask Di Long to play the role of Song Zihao. What do you think?"
Since the film was given to Wang Jing to shoot, it was natural to ask for his opinion.
Wang Jing was slightly stunned. Dilong was known as one of the Four Asian Dragons.
He has already won the 11th Golden Horse Film Awards, the 'Special Award for Outstanding Acting Skills' for his role in "The Assassin".
There is also the 19th Asia Pacific Film Outstanding Acting Awards.
On the screen, his suave, handsome Li Xunhuan is very eye-catching.
In later generations, this movie was adapted into "The Warlords".
Di Long currently has a certain status in the film industry.
Let an actor of this caliber star in a brand new underworld movie produced by a brand new company.
This is probably somewhat difficult.
However, Wang Jing's gaze swept over the black star on the table.
He swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Recently, Dilong is still filming kung fu movies and is also preparing to transform."
"I think he will be interested after reading this script."
"Then does Mr. Zhou have a candidate for this little brother Ma?"
Zhou Shengpeng said confidently, "I've decided to use Zhou Runfa."
"Zhou Runfa?"
Wang Jing was a little confused. In order to ensure the box office, it was understandable to choose a popular star like Di Long.
But Zhou Runfa is not very famous at the moment.
People in the circle heard that he and Zhao Yazhi had just finished filming "The Bund".
The film hasn't been released yet, so it's hard to know whether he's a hit or not.
He felt it was a bit risky to use a little-known actor to play such an important role as Mark.
"I wrote the script, I have a certain control over the characters, I'll decide on the lead role, and you'll be responsible for the rest."
Zhou Shengpeng saw Wang Jing's worry.
After all, Chow Yun-fat had not yet become popular during this period, and was not even considered a box office poison. He could only be considered a newcomer.
However, he chose Chow Yun-fat, not only because he was one of the original actors of Mark, but also mainly because he wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "The Bund".
You know, Chow Yun-fat has started filming "A Better Tomorrow" now.
During this period, "The Bund 29" began to be broadcast.
You can sign a hot star at the price of an ordinary actor, and after filming the movie, you can also get free publicity and promotion.
Kill two birds with one stone, don't be too cost-effective.
Although Zhou Runfa's acting skills are relatively immature now, he has reached a certain level after being tempered by "The Bund".
With his guidance, I will definitely be able to reproduce the original version.
By then, the film will surely be a big hit.
"Okay, then, has Mr. Zhou specified any actresses?"
Wang Jing said this and blinked at Zhou Shengpeng.
If a gang leader makes a movie, it would be strange if he doesn’t specify a female actress.
"As for the actresses, I'll leave it to Director Wang. I trust your vision in choosing female roles."
Zhou Shengpeng smiled with deep meaning.
After all, in later generations, Wang Jing made a lot of "Jing girls" famous, and many female stars wanted to be in his movies for free.
"Okay, I'll take the movie. Mr. Zhou thinks so highly of me, Wang Jing. I will definitely do my best to make the movie a success!"
Wang Jing said firmly.
Even the actress gave up on choosing the big boss, which shows that he really wants to make a good movie.
Such a high investment, such a good script.
If he can't shoot well, then he will only be a second-rate three-color film director in this life.
"Okay, I believe in Director Wang's ability. You set up the crew first. I will arrange for Jimmy to provide the funds. The casting of other roles will also be handed over to you."
Zhou Shengpeng said with a smile.
