- Although such a bloody thing happened in Wang Ben's love life, life still has to go on.
February 14th, New Year¡¯s Eve, is also Valentine¡¯s Day.
Because of everything that happened yesterday, Wang Ben lived a very simple Valentine's Day. After a busy day of shopping for New Year's goods, moving to Sham Shui Po, and preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Ben and Zhong Zhen spent the New Year's Eve in the villa.
Wang Ben found time to call Zhao Yazhi and the others during the day, except for Pan Yingzi who got tired of him for a while after receiving the call. Zhao Yazhi and Wang Minquan both received calls. After hearing Wang Ben's voice, they immediately hung up the phone. This made Wang Ben feel very uncomfortable. But Wang Ben knew in his heart that he had asked for it. No wonder others hung up on him.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Ben spent a few days relaxing with countless calls from New Year greetings and New Year greetings. Originally, Wang Ben wanted to go to Zhao Yazhi's house to pay New Year greetings, but thinking of the embarrassment of being turned away, Wang Ben decisively gave up the plan of knocking on the door and entering the house. He just placed the gift in front of Zhao Yazhi's house and rang the doorbell. He ran away feeling very guilty.
The free time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the fifth day of the new year, and it was also time to go to work.
The legal Spring Festival holiday in Xiangjiang is generally only three days, that is, the first, second and third day of the lunar month. Work starts on the fourth day of the lunar month. Wang Ben generously put the holiday on the fifth day of the lunar month, and the company started working on the sixth day of the lunar month.
As soon as Wang Ben arrived at the company, he began to convene a meeting with the company's main employees.
The meeting location is in the office hall. There is no way, the company does not have a conference room yet, and Wang Ben's office is too cramped. When Wang Ben and Zhong Zhen came out of the office, he found that everyone they had summoned had already arrived.
Huang Zhan, the salty and lustful ghost, took the secretary's little hand and sat aside to read her palm; Gu Jiahui sat seriously opposite Wang Ben with a notebook; Chen Zhiqiang sat energetically in a suit and tie; Zhang Zheng brought a The secretary was running around preparing tea for everyone; Hong Jinbao was sitting there smiling, nodding and bowing to say hello to everyone
Wang Ben casually found a desk and sat down, and greeted everyone kindly, "Everyone, sit wherever you want, don't be restrained. Miss He, please sit next to me, and I will take the minutes of the meeting later."
He Qinglian silently pulled up a chair and sat next to Wang Ben. Grab a notebook and start taking minutes of the meeting.
Although Wang Ben said that everyone should sit casually, this is the first meeting held by the boss after all. How can anyone dare to sit casually? All of them immediately sat upright and looked at Wang Ben pretending to be serious.
Wang Ben glanced at a few people with a smile and said with a smile: "Today is the first meeting of our Phantom International. Maybe everyone is not familiar with each other yet. Zhengzi, please introduce yourself first"
Zhang Zheng smiled and said: "Happy New Year everyone! Congratulations on getting rich! My name is Zhang Zheng. My main job is to assist the boss with film shooting matters, and I am also responsible for communicating with Shaw Brothers"
Chen Zhiqiang stood up and said with a smile: "Chen Zhiqiang, Artist Department Manager. Please take care of me in the future!"
Hong Jinbao nodded and bowed with a smile: "Hello everyone. My name is Hong Jinbao, you can just call me Sanmao. I am mainly in charge of the company's dragon and tiger martial arts masters now"
¡¡
After everyone introduced themselves one by one, Wang Ben nodded and said: "Now we all know each other! Okay, now let me say a few words. You all work to make money to support your family, and so do I. I also opened a film company to make money. . What is love for movies and the pursuit of art? You can only pursue it when you have a full stomach. If your wife, children, and children can¡¯t do anything about it, don¡¯t you think we can do Nanhai Ten? Saburo!"
This morning, Wang Ben met a ragged old beggar on the way to the company, who was talking crazy and uninhibited words. What to say "I am a white phoenix in the snow mountain".
Wang Ben suddenly remembered a biographical movie "The Thirteenth Man of the South China Sea" that he watched in his previous life, and he knew that this crazy old beggar might be the Thirteenth Man of the South China Sea. (I recommend everyone to watch this movie, it is really touching.)
The Thirteenth Man of Nanhai is Jiang Yuluo. He is a proud idiot. He is a wild and uninhibited man who relies on his talents and prides himself on things. He adhered to his ideals throughout his life and seemed particularly out of place in the turbulent world.
Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea appears like a flash in the pan, its most beautiful youth, the fireworks burn its most splendid moment, but then it is hard to find again!
The creative career is at its peak. Criticism of certain films in Hong Kong as being too kitsch and indecent has offended some people. He was said to be a "fool", so that he could not gain a foothold in Hong Kong and his life became a problem. Now he is so depressed that he wanders the streets of Central and often appears in Lu Yu Teahouse. Later, due to mental disorder, he was sent to Qingshan Hospital. He wandered around in his later years, and finally ended up in Qingshan Hospital.Died in hospital at the age of 75.
Such a life is really respectable, sad and pitiful!
Other young people like Hong Jinbao may not know the deeds of the Thirteenth Lang of Nanhai, but Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui know it very well. When they heard Wang Ben's words, they couldn't help but nodded and said: "Mr. Wang, you are right!"
Wang Ben said seriously: "You are all people with great talents. If you feel that your skills are of no use, then you can only wrong everyone first. I will set a rule for Phantom International today, that is, Phantom International mainly shoots Your film is a commercial film. I don¡¯t expect you to be a hit, but you must ensure that it can bring fame to the company and expand its influence. Of course, if you can both be a hit and win awards, that¡¯s even better! But!¡±
Listening to Wang Ben¡¯s words, everyone started thinking. The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat silent for a while.
Wang Ben saw everyone bowing their heads in silence, knowing that what he said was a bit serious, so he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now! Everyone just has an idea. After all, we are all here to make money. ! Only when the company makes money can we take it, don¡¯t you think? The company will release a new movie in a while, called "New Dragon Gate Inn".
"New Longmen Inn"?
Everyone became confused and thought: Does this have anything to do with "Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan a few years ago?
Huang Zhan directly expressed the question in his heart, "Ahu, does this "New Dragon Gate Inn" have anything to do with the "Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan?"
Wang Ben smiled and said: "It is related. "New Longmen Inn" is a remake of Hu Jinquan's "Longmen Inn", so Brother Zhan, you have to handle the copyright matter well!"
Huang Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
Wang Ben smiled and said: "From now on, we must fully prepare for the filming of the movie, the movie budget, actor selection and rehearsal, preparation of shooting equipment, costumes and props, etc. Everyone must work together and go all out to make the movie a success!"
As he said this, Wang Ben began to assign work.
"Manager Chen, I will tell you the actors you need in a moment, and you will contact them and coordinate the schedule with them. Sanmao, you have to lead the brothers in Wang's class to practice the use of wires. When the actors come, you still have to We need to teach them how to use wire. Well, the martial arts design of this movie is different from the previous ones. I will be the martial arts instructor first, and you can learn from it. You go to the company that rents the shooting equipment and costumes. We don¡¯t have any shooting and post-production equipment yet, so it¡¯s really limited! Let¡¯s rent someone else¡¯s equipment first! We¡¯ll buy it later when the company expands!¡¡±
Chen Zhiqiang, Hong Jinbao and others agreed.
Wang Ben thought for a while and continued: "There are still a few issues that I need your help to think about. The first is that there is still a heroine who has not yet been decided. My requirements for this heroine are somewhat high. The heroine must disguise herself as a man. He should be handsome, but there is also a sense of infatuation and charm inside, and he should have a heroic spirit and a chivalrous spirit. "
A woman disguised as a man?
Everyone immediately thought of one person: Ling Bo.
"Ahu, what do you think of Ling Bo?" Huang Zhan said what everyone was thinking.
"Ling Bo?" Wang Ben asked doubtfully.
Wang Ben has no impression of this name. He had never heard of this person at all.
"Who is Ling Bo? Brother Zhan, come and tell me."
This time it was Huang Zhan's turn to be surprised. Huang Zhan asked with a smile: "Ahu, you don't even know about Ling Bo, right?"
Wang Ben shook his head. He smiled and said, ¡°I really don¡¯t know!¡±
If you talk about the actresses who disguised themselves as men in the 1990s, everyone will first think of Lin Qingxia. A series of classic images such as Dongfang Bubai and Qiu Moyan played by Lin Qingxia are almost indelible memories in the history of Chinese martial arts movies.
And in the 1960s and 1970s, Lingbo was a figure that had to be mentioned. Any mention of Shaw Brothers' Huangmei Tiao films cannot fail to mention Ling Bo. Because she is also one of the contributors to the prosperity of Shaw Brothers' Huangmei Tiao movies, especially her cross-dressing charm. His first visit to Taiwan in 1963 was a crowd-pleaser. Hundreds of thousands of people in Taipei lined up to see Liang Shanbo. As a result, Taipei had to dispatch military police to maintain order. Taipei was therefore dubbed the "Madman City".
And Ling Bo also won the Golden Horse Award for "Best Actor Special Award" for her performance in "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". The Special Award for Best Actor was given because the judges did not know whether to award her the Leading Actor Award or the Leading Actress Award for her role as the leading actor, so they cleverly created a name to reward her outstanding acting skills.
Huang Zhan told Wang Ben the story of Ling Bo in detail.
Wang Ben immediately became interested. "She's long?What does it look like? Are there any pictures of her? Bring it to me and take a look. "
Huang Zhan chuckled and took out his wallet, brought it to Wang Ben and said, "Hey! That's her."
Yo! There really is!
Wang Bi took the wallet, glanced at Huang Zhan jokingly, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan, if you put photos of other women in your wallet, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will deal with you?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Huang Zhan chuckled and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty! Besides, Ling Bo is already married, so I'm just fantasizing about it."
Wang Ben looked at Ling Bo's photo and said with a smile: "Fortunately you are just imagining it. If you do something, I don't know how your sister-in-law will deal with you!"
The woman in the photo is wearing a vertical collar cheongsam, with black hair and jingle ears, very thick eyebrows, and exudes a dignified and elegant temperament. This is far from the chivalrous and heroic spirit required by Wang Ben. And looking at Ling Bo's appearance, the appearance of a woman disguised as a man can only be said to be handsome, but there is nothing handsome about it.
Wang Ben threw his wallet to Huang Zhan and said with a regretful smile: "No. She doesn't have the heroic feeling I mentioned, let alone the chivalry. Think about it again, are there any other candidates? "
Chen Zhiqiang suddenly said from the side: "Boss, what do you think of Zheng Peipei? She is known as the 'Martial Arts Queen'! She has the heroic and chivalrous temperament that you require, boss. And she is also very beautiful! I It must be very suitable for a woman to disguise herself as a man.¡±
"Zheng Peipei?"
Wang Ben's mind suddenly flashed into the scene where Mrs. Hua and Tang Bohu were bragging to each other about losing their lives in one day and being half-mad with a smile, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Hua: Haha Let me tell you, the cup of ginseng tea you just drank has been poisoned by me with the strangest poison in the world - "a poison that kills you in one day"!
Tang Bohu: Haha The most strange poison in the world, how will you get your "life-killing powder in one day"? ! It should be our Tang family's "smiling half-step"!
Mrs. Hua: Haha nonsense! Our "One Day Killing Powder" is made from seven different kinds of poisonous insects, plus Crane's Crown Red, refined for 7,749 days. It is colorless and odorless, killing people without a trace.
Tang Bohu: Our "Smiling Banbudan" is made of honey, Sichuan clams, Platycodon grandiflorum, and Tianshan snow lotus. It does not require refrigeration and has no preservatives. In addition to being highly toxic, it also tastes delicious.
Mrs. Hua: People who take our "One Day Death Powder" will lose all their martial arts within one day, their muscles and veins will flow backwards, they will have wild thoughts, and become possessed, and eventually their blood vessels will burst and die.
Tang Bohu: That¡¯s right! Friends who have eaten "Half-step with a smile", as the name suggests, must not walk half a step or smile, otherwise their whole body will explode and die. It¡¯s really a home trip Mrs. Hua: Murder and silence
Both people: (in unison) A must-have medicine!
Wang Ben really never cared about what Mrs. Hua looked like when she was young. But looking at the appearance of her daughter Atomic Sui, you can tell that she is definitely the same.
"Hey! Boss, this is a photo of Zheng Peipei! What do you think?"
With long hair shawl, delicate facial features, gentle eyes, and a slight smile on her lips, she is such a beautiful woman! What's even more rare is the valiant and heroic appearance on his body. This is exactly what Wang Ben is looking for.
Wang Ben laughed loudly and said: "That's right! It's her! Manager Chen, how do you think we can contact Zheng Peipei and ask her if she is willing to participate in "New Dragon Gate Inn"?"
Chen Zhiqiang smiled awkwardly: "Boss, I'm sorry! Zheng Peipei is already married"
Wang Ben waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What does it matter if you get married! Doesn't this delay the filming of the movie? At worst, I can just pay more!"
Chen Zhiqiang continued: "The key is that Zheng Peipei has disappeared since her marriage and has moved to the United States!"
"Forehead!"
Wang Ben couldn't help but glared at Chen Zhiqiang, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Forget it, let's not talk about the actors for now. There is another problem, it is that the filming location of "New Dragon Inn" is difficult to find. Everyone, who are you? Do you know a place where you can take pictures of the vast desert and the sky full of yellow sand?¡±
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Xiangjiang is really too crowded and I can¡¯t find a place like this for shooting.
The best shooting location is in Gansu, Xinjiang, where the long yellow sand and the vast desert scenery are really ordinary. But now, for the sake of his life, it is impossible for Wang Ben to return there to make movies. Even if Wang Ben is willing to risk his life to make a movie there, it is estimated that no one in Xiangjiang will go with him.
Wang Ben really can¡¯t think of any other suitable location for filming.
EverybodyThey were all thinking silently, and suddenly Huang Zhan said: "Ahu, what do you think of Treasure Island? Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn" was filmed there!"
Treasure island?
Wang Ben has never seen Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn". But one can imagine that there is no desert anywhere in Treasure Island! I guess Hu Jinquan just found a rocky beach to fool the audience.
Wang Ben shook his head and said: "Have you all seen Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn"? Do you think the scenery in it is like what I described? Is there a rough and lonely scene like the lonely smoke in the desert and the sun setting over the long river? ?no!"
There is no Xiangjiang or Treasure Island, so you can¡¯t go there. It¡¯s really embarrassing!
"Think again where there are deserts suitable for filming."
