    Lin Zhiling went downstairs to deliver the videotape, and when she came back and was about to report to Lin Youlun, she saw Lin Youlun standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the office with his hands behind his hands, something seemed to be weighing on his eyebrows.

    Before Lin Zhiling could make up her mind whether to disturb her, Lin Youlun suddenly turned her head and glanced at her.

    "Do you think I am becoming more and more timid now?"

    Lin Zhiling was a little confused by this meaningless statement, and she didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

    "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Have the things been handed over to Mai Danxiong?"

    Lin Zhiling nodded, but she was still thinking about what Lin Youlun just said.

    "That's good, I hope he understands what I mean."

    After Lin Youlun finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to stare out the window.

    Lin Zhiling glanced at the script left by Mai Shanxiong on the desk, and finally resisted her curiosity and turned around to leave without asking any more questions.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Although it was daytime, the conference room of Mai Shanxiong Production Company was completely dark.

    The tightly closed curtains blocked the light, and there were only two places of light in the entire conference room. One was the unburned cigarette in Mai Shanxiong's hand, and the other was the TV screen directly in front of him.

    "Tell me is this true?" The beautiful blonde heroine looked at the hero and asked sincerely.

    "No!" The male protagonist answered with certainty.

    The heroine breathed a sigh of relief and threw herself into the hero's arms.

    "Oh, Mike."

    The hero kissed the heroine, patted her on the back, and then let go.

    "I think we both need a drink. I'll pour it." The heroine walked out of the office.  When I went too far, I discovered that three people suddenly and mysteriously appeared in my husband's office.

    The heroine looked back.  One of them came over and closed the door.

    The background music gradually stops as the door closes, the camera goes black, and the video ends.

    With a bang, the curtains in the office were opened, and the entire conference room suddenly became bright, just like the alternation of night and day.

    Mai Shanxiong turned his seat back from facing the TV to facing away from the desk. His eyes scanned the people sitting at the table one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the face of his younger brother Mai Danjie.

    "Ajie. Let's talk about it first!"

    Mai Danjie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

    "Wenjie, what do you think?"

    Mai Shanxiong then moved his eyes to the face of Pan Wenjie, the director of "The Lame Man". The other person also had a blank look on his face, and it seemed that he couldn't explain it.

    After asking two people one after another and getting no answer, Mai Shanxiong couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

    "What have you been doing for more than two hours just now? Let you watch this movie and then help me figure out what the video tape that Mr. Lin gave me means. It's a good thing for you, you can't even answer a question in three sentences!  "

    "Okay, Ah Xiong. Don't embarrass them two." Xiao Ruoyuan stood up to smooth things over, and at the same time gave Mai Shanxiong a wink.

    "Okay. You go out first."

    Mai Shanxiong waved his hand and drove both Mai Shanjie and Pan Wenjie out, leaving Xiao Ruoyuan alone.

    "Ayuan, what did you really see?"

    Xiao Ruoyuan nodded and asked Mai Shanxiong: "Do you think Mike in the film is a good guy or a bad guy?"

    "Of course he is a bad person according to the standards of normal society, but"

    "But no one in the audience will think he is bad, at least no one will see him as a villain. Am I right?" Xiao Ruoyuan interrupted Mai Shanxiong.

    Mai Shanxiong nodded and acknowledged Xiao Ruoyuan's statement.

    Xiao Ruoyuan continued, "In fact, not only do people not regard Mike as a villain, but they also worship him as an idol. Otherwise, the American media would not call this movie a bible for men's growth and become a part of American history."  The greatest gangster movie ever made."

    "But what does this have to do with us?" Mai Shanxiong asked puzzledly.

    "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Xiao Ruoyuan lit a cigarette for herself in a hurry, ""Black Gold" also tells the story of a gangster godfather, but in your script,  He is an out-and-out villain, and now Mr. Lin has given you the videotape of "The Godfather", don't you still understand its meaning?"

    Mai Shanxiong's eyes flashed, "You mean, Mr. Lin wants us to make the Zhou Dynasty in "Black Gold" into a positive character?"

    ?Xiao Ruoyuan spat out a mouthful, "Didn't you always handle it this way in "Lame Hero" and "Haojiang Fengyun"?"

    "But in this case, the police part of the plot will be completely useless. Originally, I wanted to find Liu Dehua to play this role. If the role of this character is reduced, it will be a question whether Liu Tianwang can be hired."

    Mai Shanxiong frowned as he spoke, "One more thing, my original intention in making this movie was to expose Taiwan's black money politics. If I were to portray the Zhou Dynasty in a positive image, wouldn't all my intentions be in vain?  "

    "Are these two in conflict?" Xiao Ruoyuan spread her hands, "Aren't the actions of Mike's gang in "The Godfather" cruel? And didn't the audience see this? They saw it, but they didn't take it to heart.  The reason is that in this film, the boundaries between good and evil have been blurred by factors such as elegance, warmth, kindness, and family. The image of the godfather in the film also subverts people's traditional understanding of gangsters. Gangsters  No longer domineering and domineering, he can be gentle and kind. No longer carrying a pistol in his waist, a gold chain on his neck, or a tattoo on his chest, he can be extremely decent and elegant, but behind this image, there is still a cruel gangster business These are listed in "Black Gold"  "The character Zhou Chaoxian in "The Legend of Zhou Dynasty" can be realized. The story is still the same as before, but it is told in a different way. I think this is Mr. Lin's intention."

    Xiao Ruoyuan¡¯s words suddenly enlightened Mai Shanxiong, and a new story idea took shape in his mind.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "Why¡­¡­"

    With a long sigh, Liang Jiahui closed the script in his hand.

    My wife Jiang Jianian happened to be passing by, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

    ¡°This script makes me very embarrassed.¡±

    For Jiang Jianian, Liang Jiahui had nothing to hide, so he told his troubles face to face.

    "Is it the script that Mai Shanxiong sent over?" Jiang Jianian put down what he was doing, sat next to Liang Jiahui, and asked considerately: "Is Mai Shanxiong planning to shoot some difficult and dangerous scenes again this time?  It would be better if you refused directly. With your current reputation and achievements, you really don¡¯t have to fight so hard."

    Liang Jiahui shook his head, "It has little to do with Mai Shanxiong, it's mainly a problem with the script itself."

    "That means you are dissatisfied with the plot?"

    Liang Jiahui shook his head again.

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s the plot or the characters, this script can be said to be the best one I¡¯ve received in recent years, but¡±

    Jiang Jianian pushed Liang Jiahui, "Okay, stop hesitating, just say it if you have any concerns."

    "Mai Shanxiong asked me to play a Taiwanese gang boss this time. This man almost became a legislator through a series of means of intimidation and bribery. Then just when he was about to succeed, he was illegally committed by the Bureau of Investigation.  We obtained evidence of his crime through eavesdropping, but failed, and in the process of evading police arrest, the woman I loved most also lost her life."

    Liang Jiahui gave a brief summary of the plot of "Black Gold". After hearing this, Jiang Jianian said decisively: "No need to think about it, just reject it."

    Although he has not read the script directly, based on Liang Jiahui's description, Jiang Jianian realized that this movie is very likely to cause some trouble for Liang Jiahui.

    After persuading Liang Jiahui, Jiang Jianian couldn't help but complain: "It's true that Mai Danxiong likes to cause trouble, but he still wants to find you. Doesn't he know that you have been in trouble for this kind of thing?"  Is it too much of a somersault?¡±

    Mai Shanxiong wants to make a movie to expose Taiwan's black money politics. Jiang Jianian still admires him a bit, but this guy couldn't find anyone to star in, so he chose Liang Jiahui, who had been banned by Taiwan once.  Do you deliberately cause trouble for others?

    Seeing Jiang Jianian's indignant look, Liang Jiahui turned to comfort her and said, "Actually, the situation is not as serious as you think. Now that Taiwan wants to ban me, they have to consider the impressions from all sides. It won't be like back then."  So casual."

    Today's Liang Jiahui is not the newcomer who just debuted back then. After starring in "Pirates of Malacca", he has become a Chinese-speaking superstar who is famous overseas. Since Taiwan opened the ban on reporting, the entire speech environment has been greatly improved, and it is no longer  There are stories of a certain star being banned just because he appeared in a movie that offended the authorities.

    "Then he couldn't have found someone else to play the role? He chose you to play the role. I think he did it deliberately!" Jiang Jianian was still resentful.

    If Mak Shanxiong were present at this time, he would definitely scream aggrieved. It was actually not his idea to ask Tony Leung to play "Black Gold". Originally, he wanted to find Andy Lau to play it, because he had previouslyIn "The Legend of Lei Luo", Andy Lau has already played a similar role, and his performance is acceptable. And the most important thing is that Andy Lau now has a market. As long as there are movies in which he stars, he will basically not lose money.

    But when this idea reached Lin Youlun¡¯s ears, he rejected it immediately.

    Because soon Yulun Lam is also planning to shoot a gangster movie, and Andy Lau is one of the male leads.

    Such a reason left Mai Shanxiong speechless. He believed that his reputation was not big enough to compete with Lin Youlun, and in the filming of the movie "Black Gold", although Lin Youlun stated that he would not directly invest, he would not  He will admit that he has anything to do with this movie, but secretly he can provide a lot of help to Mai Shanxiong.

    In this case, Mai Shanxiong could only choose to compromise.  (To be continued)
