Chapter 20: The Hong family class's win

Hong Jinbao didn't let others wait too much, and explained to the crew a few words, asking Lin Zhengying to take charge of the overall situation, so he went out to meet the guests. There were many talents in the Hong family class who could direct and act. There was no need to stop after walking away for a while, and there was no need to feel worried.

When I walked to the living room, I saw Wang Jin and a young man sitting in a guest chair, whispering with his head down.

"Jinzai!"

"Brother Sanmao," Wang Jin and Li Xuechu saw Hong Jinbao walking in, and quickly stood up and greeted.

"Sit as you sit there, you don't have to be so polite when you are so familiar." Hong Jinbao's voice was quite loud, giving people a cheerful feeling, but Hong Jinbao's personality is indeed quite straightforward and rarely speaks.

"You are Mr. Li. I heard from Wuma that I was a young talent, but I still couldn't believe it after reading it. Mr. Li is not simple." Hong Jinbao was really surprised by Li Xuechu's youth. At this age, he should be at the age of junior high school. "I was still playing supporting roles in the martial arts team when I was at this age."

This is a polite statement. Hong Jinbao participated in his first movie at the age of twelve or thirteen, and had already formed the Hong family class in his early twenties. Although he is only in his early thirties, his qualifications and achievements in the industry are no less low. Chen Long is still his junior brother.

"Brother Sanmao praised me. Actually, I have wanted to visit Brother Sanmao for a long time. I have been busy with the movies with Jin Zai for a few days." Li Xuechu was so polite, "Brother Sanmao will call me Chu Zai, everyone calls it that." Xiangjiang's film industry is still relatively traditional, especially the martial arts team. His speaking style always reminds Li Xuechu of later film and television dramas in the Republic of China, but when he comes, he can only follow the local customs.

"What's late? I just said a few days ago." Hong Jinbao waved his hand and didn't care, and then said, "Then I'll call you Chuzai because of how old I'm older than you. Are you working with Jinzai to make movies now?"

The two of them looked at each other and nodded.

"Are you interested in joining the Hong family class? We are all short of other things now, but we are short of talents like Chuzai." Hong Jinbao didn't make too many courtesy and directly threw out his olive branch. "Our Hong family class has been established for more than ten years. Whether it is the connections in the circle or the internal conditions in Xiangjiang, it is definitely not bad. If you are interested in the movie industry, you might as well come to us. You can learn a lot, which will be very good for you in the future. If you want to work alone in a few years, I won't stop you."

Referring to later generations, Li Xuechu knew that this was not a fool. The Hong family class was indeed an ideal partner. Now unless Jiahe or Xinyi City directly wins over, the Hong family class and the Chen family class that are about to be formed in Xiangjiang will be formed. Chen Long's Chen family class fell apart due to internal discord just a few years after the establishment of Chen Long's Chen family class. Although the Hong family class gradually declined in later generations, the main reason is that the film themes are lacking, and the more filmed it becomes worse, the more money it is made, and it is actually quite harmonious inside and there is no intrigue. Hong Jinbao is also a good boss. When the members want to leave their own way out, they don't have much trouble. They also help others with their connections and have a first-class reputation in the circle.

Actually, thinking about it, I and the Hong family team are quite complementary.

However, Li Xuechu still doesn't want to join others in helping others, especially in the martial arts team, where there are more rules than anywhere else. Although others value themselves, they may be able to get some privileges, but others will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they see it, and they will just cooperate freely.

"Brother Sanmao, I don't know much about the movie industry. I'm interested in it, but I haven't made any plans to go deeper. And I'm still used to being free by myself. I've registered a film company now and plan to write some scripts and find someone to work together in the future. Just like now, I'm working with Ajin. If Brother Sanmao is interested, we still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"That's it!" Hong Jinbao lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Since Chu Zai said that, there is nothing he can do. After all, this matter cannot be forced. If Chu Zai is interested in the future, remember that our Hong family class will welcome you at any time."

Li Xuechu thanked him but failed to bring in. Although Hong Jinbao was a little unwilling, he immediately let go. There is still a chance to cooperate in the future, so the future will be long. Then several people chatted about things in the movie circle. Hong Jinbao has been in the industry for a long time and has come into contact with many people. Even with the former kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong. He knew many interesting stories in the circle, and Wang and Li listened with relish.

After chatting for a while, Wang and Li stood up to say goodbye, but Hong Jinbao didn't try to keep him. After all, the movie was still being filmed and he had a lot of things to do, so he got up and sent them out.

When he arrived at the door, Hong Jinbao told Li Xuechu that the filming of "The Hero after Drinking" he participated in the investment in the script would be completed in three or four days, and invited Li Xuechu and Wang Jin to attend the final banquet at that time. Li Xuechu was stunned for the first time.

"The Hong family class started filming too quickly. How many days have passed?" Li Xuechu said to Wang Jin.

"We are not slow either. If we don't consider the preliminary preparations, our show will be completed in just over twenty days." Wang Jin said proudly, "If it's speed, I, Mr. Wang, have never been afraid of anyone. If this was not my pioneering work, I would have been faster."

"What's so proud of this?" Li Xuechu looked at the fat man with annoyance, "Don't make a bad movie. If no one watches it, what's the use of you no longer shooting it?"

"Don't I know this yet? But we only have a little money. If we don't take photos quickly, how can we afford to consume it? As soon as the camera is turned on, the money is flowing. Some things are not careless at all. Do you think I don't want to take photos better? They are all money." Fatty Wang complained.

Li Xuechu no longer said anything. If you don’t join the crew, you won’t know how the money is burned. Among the king of Daches, you can play brother, Wu Yaohan, and others are good at shooting TV. If you shoot movies, you won’t have enough acting skills. Li Xuechu feels that some of the people who play supporting roles in later generations are better than some of the current TV actors. His expressions are all stiff, which makes Li Xuechu, who is used to watching movies in later generations, feels that he can’t stand watching. It seems that the times are indeed improving. Although there are rumors in later generations that are unspoken rules, relationships, and so on, the overall level of actors is indeed much higher than that in now.

Fatty Wang seems to have a natural sense of cost control. If you invest more, you can shoot better, and if you invest less, you can be careless. There are fewer cases of NG 10 or 20 times in a row. If you don’t work, just turn off the camera and let the actor practice a few times, then choose a camera that feels similar and let it go.

"Don't worry, I have a clear idea. I won't be able to shoot it badly. If you don't believe it, you'll know it when the time comes, it's definitely not bad." Fatty Wang comforted Li Xuechu for a few words.

"I hope." Although he said that, Li Xuechu believed it. At least the overall level of the movies made by Fatty Wang is still acceptable compared to the current overall level of Xiangjiang. He just thought about the original works of later generations and felt that it was a waste of resources. The movies made by the Hong family should be higher than Fatty Wang. After all, there are many old actors and rich experiences in it, but there must be a gap with those of later generations.

Now I can only look forward to Wu Yushen's "Home Imperial". Although I feel that it is always a bit inconsistent for the master of violent aesthetics to shoot comedy, he is a master at least, and he has been filming comedy for several years.

I heard from several people in New Art City that Wu Yushen was filming with his own script. He was asked to film the little kid first, but he didn't say anything after reading the script. He prepared a lot of time in the early stage and started shooting two days ago. The shooting speed was not fast, which made everyone in New Art City a little dissatisfied. But Li Xuechu was relieved. It would be better to be slow, not to mention his other works, and to do a slow job, and perhaps this one might catch up or surpass the previous work, at least the original director Li Xuechu had never heard of it.

Thinking of the master of violent aesthetics, maybe he would ask him to shoot his next work?

After writing four comedy in a row, Li Xuechu didn't want to write comedy anymore. This time he chose a action drama he liked to write - Killer Lyon. Perhaps only Wu Yushen can shoot this emotional drama with an action film coat now: a murder scene filled with unique beauty, an art-like killing plot, a killer with a cold appearance and a fiery heart, a dangerous and powerful villain policeman, and the most lolita complex in the whole film... At least for now, only Wu Yushen can do these things in Xiangjiang.
