    Why does Zou Wenhuai want to cooperate with Li Mingbao? Isn't it just because Li Mingbao makes money from movies?  It can further achieve the purpose of attacking Uncle Six, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.  But now Li Mingbao said that he would only give the script, and then Jiahe would do the rest.  How could Zou Wenhuai be satisfied with such a semi-finished product?  Seeing Zou Wenhuai's appearance, Li Mingbao smiled and said: "Zou Daheng, I am not being unkind, but I am thinking about you Jiahe. In the film industry, the most important thing for me is the script. You see, I am in Hong Kong  When it comes to the actors in the two films I filmed, there is nothing outstanding about them. The reason why they are so successful is actually due to the script. The same is true for the American film. I did not find any famous actors.  I didn¡¯t find any famous director, and my success all depended on a script, don¡¯t you deny this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that when you shoot a movie, it¡¯s different from the current movie scene in Hong Kong.  The important thing is actually the actors, and the script is not taken very seriously in Hong Kong. Your approach is very similar to that in Hollywood. When a good script makes a movie, the actors become a secondary factor.  "Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Zou Wenhuai nodded in agreement.  When filming a movie here in Hong Kong, actors are the most important factor. As long as you are a star, no matter how bad the movie is, there will still be people who will support it.  Of course, except for "Days of Wild" produced by Wang Jiawei, which deceived a large number of people.  ¡° And Jiahe is dominated by actors. Whether it¡¯s Big Brother Hong Jinbao, Chen Long, or other big-name stars, basically a movie is shot around these stars.  If the stars want to shoot it this way, then the movie must be shot this way. Among them, Chen Long is definitely the most outstanding.  Basically, he alone has the final say on his films. Except for early films that are not yet famous, or those films shot in the United States, he alone has the final say.  Under such circumstances, it is not that important whether a movie has a script or not. What matters is whether there are actors or not.  This situation is not very prominent now. When Hong Kong movies really start to become popular, such things will become an obvious rule.  It¡¯s no wonder that screenwriters in Hong Kong are basically not that famous. Either screenwriters changed careers and became directors, or screenwriters directly became actors.  ¡° Anyway, there are really only two people in the Hong Kong film circle who are famous for their screenwriting.  It is precisely because of this situation that Zou Wenhuai was a little dissatisfied when he heard what Li Mingbao said about the cooperation. Screenwriters are nothing in Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong film industry has not yet reached the point where screenwriters are just decorations as it will be in a few years, screenwriters in Hong Kong are  It is an indisputable fact that he is the practitioner who receives the least attention in the film industry.  "Zou Daheng, you also know that I am a newcomer to the industry. Although I have some achievements now, I still have some luck. But even though I am new to the industry, I have noticed that film shooting here in Hong Kong is a little different. It seems that  We have gone astray. You know, when shooting a movie in the United States, although actors are also important, the most important thing is the director and the script. But I can¡¯t watch it in Hong Kong.  At this point, if Hong Kong movies want to develop, they cannot do without a good script. Without a good script, even if the actors are good but the storyline is not good, the audience will not buy it for a long time." Li Mingbao said.  "I know what you said, and I also know that in the United States, a screenwriter is very important, especially a good screenwriter, who has a high status. But Li Sheng, this is Hong Kong, not the United States. The United States is like that  , may not apply to us in Hong Kong. Take the current mainstream movies in Hong Kong, Kung Fu movies. The first thing those audiences come to watch is not to see whether the plot of your movie is good or not, but to see whether your Kung Fu skills are good or not.  If the fighting is good, no matter how bad the script is, people will read it, but if the kung fu fighting is not good, no matter how good the script is, no one will read it. The same is true in the United States. When Bruce Lee was still there, his movie scripts were actually not read.  That's true, but his kung fu is good, so Americans buy it. If his kung fu is not good, do you think he will still be so famous? So, everything has two sides, especially in Hong Kong.  By the way, I admit that the script has some uses, but when most people watch kung fu movies, the first factor is whether the fighting is good or not. As for the script, this is not taken seriously here in Hong Kong, Li Sheng.  If you want to make a career in Hong Kong, you must keep this in mind," Zou Wenhuai said seriously.  In Chow Man-huai¡¯s mind, Hong Kong movies are roughly kung fu movies. Except for kung fu movies, other movies are just minor films, and there is basically nothing to make money.  Even the two movies Li Mingbao made on his debut did not have any trace of kung fu, but at this time of discussion, Zou Wenhuai still believes that kung fu movies?is the kingly way.  It¡¯s no wonder that Chow Wen-huai¡¯s success lies in kung fu movies. From the time he started to get involved in movies, and later when he came out of Shaw Brothers, he promoted Li Xiaolong to become famous, and later created Hung Kam-bo and Chen Lung, including later using tricks to get Li Lianjie.  Zou Wenhuai basically follows the path of kung fu movies.  Even in comedies, he likes plots involving kung fu.  In Chow Wenhuai¡¯s heart, there would be no Hong Kong movies without Kung Fu movies, and he had too many benefits from them.  Of course, success requires effort, and failure also requires effort.  The decline of Jiahe in later generations was indeed caused by environmental problems, but it was not because Kung Fu movies had no successors. Zou Wenhuai's old path was blocked, so naturally there was only decline.  That was still more than ten or twenty years later, but now, Zou Wenhuai has just praised Chen Long, and Chen Long's main focus is kung fu. The mainstays in Jiahe are basically stars who debuted in kung fu movies. Under such circumstances,  Zou Wenhuai regards kung fu movies as a magic weapon, which is actually not a strange thing.  From the early kung fu film "One-Armed Knife" to the later urban kung fu films, Jiahe has produced the most and most profitable films, and they are basically all based on this routine.  Under such circumstances, how can such a theory leave traces in his mind if Zou Wenhuai is told to value the script and despise the actors?  After hearing Zou Wenhuai's words, Li Mingbao immediately understood that it was not a good idea to discuss this topic with Zou Wenhuai now. Zou Wenhuai was a stubborn person. If he wanted to change his mind with new theories, it would not be possible at all.  arrive.  Rather than having a conflict with Zou Wenhuai on such an issue, it would be better to let the topic go.  "Zou Daheng, you have your thoughts, and I understand. I also have mine, and I hope you can understand, Zou Daheng. We won't discuss this topic much because there is no result. This is a matter of philosophy. Fortunately,  The script I want to give you is tailor-made for the people of your company. There is no problem with the concept. For this script, I think it is much better to let your own people in Jiahe shoot it than to let me dictate. After all, you guys.  It's much easier for us to use it than for me, an outsider. It's also beneficial to our cooperation to only give you Jiahe the script," Li Mingbao explained.  When Zou Wenhuai heard Li Mingbao talk about ideas again, he knew that he could not go any further on this topic.  After all, although Li Mingbao's success and his own success are both in movies, the specific paths are different. There is really not much practical significance to discuss this topic.  Then I heard Li Mingbao say that this script was tailor-made for their Jiahe people. In addition, their own Jiahe people filmed it, and it was indeed better than Li Mingbao, an airborne soldier. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai did not want to delve into the concept issue.  .  He wanted to know which person in Jiahe Li Mingbao's script was tailor-made for.  Even though it was already said that it was time, Li Mingbao didn't show any concern and directly took out the script from his bag and handed it to Zou Wenhuai.  Li Mingbao is not afraid that after Zou Wenhuai gets the script, he will plagiarize the ideas in it and then not use his script.  Because it is completely unnecessary for Zou Wenhuai to do this. Zou Wenhuai is not the boss of one of those small companies. He is ready to just make a profit and leave without any scruples.  As a big boss like him, now is the time to work well with Li Mingbao. No matter how good the script is, he will not do such stupid things.  The script that Li Mingbao gave to Chow Wenhuai was the famous "Plan A". As Chen Lung's second movie with a box office of over 10 million in Hong Kong, this movie is of great significance to Chen Lung.  At this time, Chen Long was not as arrogant as later generations. Although he had previously filmed "Junior Brother", which had a box office of tens of millions, which made Chen Long famous, but then Chen Long went to Hollywood to work hard, and he immediately understood that Hollywood can be  It's not an easy place to hang out, I was beaten to pieces.  For Chen Long, "Plan A" is a movie that affirms his achievements and makes him understand that if he can't make it in Hollywood, he can still make it in Hong Kong.  Originally, the film was shot in 1983, but Li Mingbao wanted to cooperate with Jiahe at this time. In addition, Chen Long is also an actor promoted by Zou Wenhuai. It is not psychological for Li Mingbao to mix Chen Long's oil and water.  burden on.  When Zou Wenhuai saw this script, he knew that Li Mingbao had really worked hard to cooperate with Jiahe, otherwise this script would not be like this.  Previously, Li Mingbao said that this script was tailor-made for the actors of his company. He thought that Li Mingbao was bragging, but after seeing the script, he realized that there was absolutely no adulterated information in Li Mingbao's words.  Now Chen Long can be said to be Zou Wenhuai¡¯s pain.  Although the previous "Junior Brother" did give Chen Long enough limelight, he even asked Zou Wenhuai to directly bring Chen Long to Hollywood for training, just to make Chen Long not only popular in Hong Kong, but also in Hollywood.?Make money.  Zou Wenhuai is not Shao Liushu. He knows better that the money an actor can earn by becoming famous in Hollywood is not comparable to that in Hong Kong. When Li Xiaolong was there, he received a lot of benefits.
