"You don't even know how dangerous it was just now. As soon as you said you wanted to get a massage, within ten minutes, Brother Chen said he had to do something."
On the road in Lantau Island, Zhang Chu and Zha Zhahui were sitting in a car. The car was fixed on a trailer and was surrounded by cameras.
Many people who don't know the production of film and television dramas probably think that this kind of drama is really performed by actors while driving.
"Wow, I'm really scared. You know I'm always serious about sneaking up to the end."
This scene was shot when Chen Yongren witnessed Huang Zhicheng being thrown from a building to his tragic death.
Subsequently, the police arrived and a fierce gun battle ensued.
Shaqiang took advantage of the chaos and took Chen Yongren into a car and fled.
"There are still guns. I really want to tell everyone that I have something to do and I'll leave first."
At this moment, Chen Yongren wanted to shut up Shaqiang, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Huang Zhicheng is dead, and the only person in the world who can prove his identity is no longer there.
Chen Yongren didn't know what to do, and felt even more heartbroken for Huang Zhicheng, who was like his father and brother.
"Two days ago, Brother Chen asked me to go to his room. He asked me, Aqiang, how long have you been with me? Where do I remember it?"
Shaqiang kept chattering.
"Then he said: Aqiang, you have been following me for five years. You have been very capable in these few years."
Silly Qiang's state began to look a little strange, but unfortunately Chen Yongren didn't notice.
"I have a question for you, that is, if a brother is an undercover agent, do you dare to kill him?"
Shaqiang took a deep breath and tried to laugh.
"He asked me face to face like this. Of course I said yes. Do you think I am really a fool?"
Shaqiang is not stupid. It is mentioned many times in the script, for example, he and Di Lu were watching at the door.
As a result, Shaqiang can tell who the police are from the behavior of passers-by.
"What's the result? Of course we can't find the undercover agent."
Shaqiang's breathing became more and more rapid.
This performance of Zha Zhahui can be said to have conquered everyone.
A large amount of narration must be matched with movements and expressions, and the true state of the characters must also be presented.
"That policeman was really tough. He arrested him and beat him for ten minutes. He didn't say a word for ten minutes."
Chen Yongren felt depressed and really didn't want to listen to Shaqiang's nagging.
"Aqiang!"
Shaqiang didn't seem to hear it: "Brother Chen also said that he said that the policeman was very good at covering up."
Chen Yongren also noticed something was wrong and shouted again: "Aqiang!"
Shaqiang's cough became more and more severe and he couldn't speak anymore. His face was ashen, he was holding the steering wheel with one hand and pressing his chest and abdomen with his left hand. Purple blood seeped out from between his fingers.
Silly Qiang's face suddenly turned pale: "Whoever didn't show up today is an undercover agent."
Silly Qiang's spirit gradually weakened, and his speech became intermittent: "I didn't, I didn't say you were going for a massage. If Brother Chen knew that you were going for a massage, you would be in trouble."
"CUT!"
Liu Weiqiang shouted to stop, and then a staff member drove the car out.
Reshooting, Zha Zhahui kicked the accelerator and the car hit a tree.
Silly Qiang was lying on the steering wheel, vomiting blood: "Brother Ren, I really want to ask you, is the massage girl today pretty? You know, if the massage girl is not beautiful, then it is boring."
Chen Yongren wanted to help him up, pressing his bleeding wound with his hand.
"Come on, we crashed the car, the police will be here soon."
Shaqiang tilted his head and looked at Chen Yongren.
"Anyway, you must remember that if someone is not paying attention and looks at you, he is the police."
After saying that, Shaqiang tilted his head and stopped moving.
What Zhang Chu presented at this moment was a state of helplessness.
In the white world, Chen Yongren's best friend is Huang Zhicheng, and in the black world, he is Shaqiang.
Now, his only two good friends have left him.
When Zhang Chu thought about it, Chen Yongren should be able to cry.
It's just helpless that he can't cry anymore.
In the story, the last words Shaqiang said clearly indicated that Chen Yongren was an undercover agent.
He didn't tell Han Chen that Chen Yongren didn't show up, just to reassure Chen Yongren.
Similarly, he said that Huang Zhicheng was beaten for ten minutes without saying a word, just to reassure Chen Yongren.
The car horn sounded for a long time before Liu Weiqiang shouted stop.
He didn't know how Du Wenze would have performed if he had not been replaced.
However, the stupidity and strength that Zha Zhahui presented was exactly what he wanted.
When the director shouted to stop, a group of staff members quickly stepped forward.
When the car hit the tree just now, although the speed was not high, it was still a real hit.
Despite taking protective measures, Zhang Chu's leg was still knocked.
Zhang Jiahui was even worse. In pursuit of reality, he was directly sandwiched between the seat and the steering wheel.
That is to say, the airbag of this car has been removed. Otherwise, the airbag would have popped out long ago.
It took a while to get Zhang Jiahui out.
As soon as the results came out, he immediately ran to Liu Weiqiang.
"Director, how about it? If it doesn't work, I can do another one."
Again?
Liu Weiqiang looked at Zhang Jiahui. He had several scratches on his arms, neck, and face.
Even if he had to do it all over again, he would have to wait until the injury on his face healed.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like wearing a gang!
Besides, the crew didn't have any other cars for him to fiddle with.
After filming this scene, Liu Weiqiang announced the end of work.
Before leaving, he looked at Zhang Jiahui again.
This actor is good, why hasn't he been popular before?
Zhang Chu was originally going to take Mai Zhaohui's car back, but was stopped by Liu Dehua.
"Achu, I'll see you off."
Naturally, he couldn't refuse the invitation from the King of Heaven. It was obvious that Liu Dehua had something to tell him.
After getting in the car and chatting for a while, Andy Lau brought the topic to "Hurricane Rescue".
The film has been in theaters for nearly three months, and it's safe to say that its box office potential has been almost exhausted.
The reason why it is still being released is entirely due to Xiang Huaqiang’s obsession.
Hong Kong's first movie with a box office of over 100 million.
No matter who can achieve this achievement, he is destined to leave his name in Hong Kong film history.
"The last figure I heard seemed to be 93 million."
Andy Lau couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this. The movie with the best box office performance of his Tianmu Film Company in so many years was only "Ahu" released last year, which achieved a box office of 2100.
"It should have increased a little during this period!"
Zhang Chu had heard Chen Lan say before that recently "Hurricane Rescue" was still making hundreds of thousands at the box office every day.
I just don’t know how close it is to the box office of over 100 million that Xiang Huaqiang has been dreaming of.
In fact, "Hurricane Rescue" should have been released half a month ago.
The reason why it is still hanging on is that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers Cinemas also hope that Xiangjiang will produce a movie with a box office of over 100 million.
It's all obsession.
Speaking of which, the global box office results of "Taken" have far exceeded expectations.
Mainland China has 68 million, Treasure Island has 120 million, Southeast Asia has a total of 137 million, Japan has gained 4.3 billion yen, and Europe has received 4,700 US dollars.
Last month, it was introduced to North America by Columbia Company, and it has received US$107 million so far.
Plus more than 90 million from Xiangjiang.
Yongsheng has already made a lot of money.
With a global box office of more than 200 million US dollars, what else is there to be satisfied with?
Zhang Chu must be satisfied. There was a clause in the original contract that 5% of the global box office was his share.
After all, it's more than ten million US dollars.
You know, the total investment in "Hurricane Rescue" is 70 million, and it is in Hong Kong dollars.
If you add in the VCD copyright income, all the movies produced by Yongsheng over the years since its establishment may not be as profitable as "Hurricane Rescue".
When Liu Dehua listened, he felt no longer envious, but jealous.
This is too unfair.
For so many years, he has been working hard to make movies, but after working hard for so long, there are not even a few profitable works, let alone hits like "Taken".
But Yong Sheng directly dominated the Hong Kong film industry with just one movie.
"Achu, if there is a chance, how about we cooperate once?"
Zhang Chu heard this and did not respond immediately.
In recent times, as "Taken" has taken off at the global box office, he has heard too many overt or covert solicitations.
Most people from these film and television companies want to sign an exclusive agency contract with Zhang Chu.
Naturally, all of them were rejected by Zhang Chu without exception.
He doesn't want to be constrained by anyone, and a boss like Yongsheng is very good.
If there is a suitable script, shoot it; if not, just wait.
Zhang Chu is not short of money now, so there is no need to make himself so tired.
"That depends on the script."
Zhang Chu is now qualified to choose scripts.
"Okay, it's settled, wait until I get a good script."
Well?
What is decided?
Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. Zhang Chu answered the call, and Chen Lan's voice came from the other side.
The tone seemed very excited.
"Achu, I just got the latest data."
"It's over 100 million."
Chen Lan was about to say something, but was overtaken by Zhang Chu. She suddenly felt as if she had gathered all her strength and punched cotton.
accurate.
"You're such a letdown, Ah Chu. You won't be able to get a girlfriend in the future if you're so careful."
What does this thing have to do with my girlfriend?
What's more, does Master Zhang still need to worry about women?
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Chu didn't speak, so Chen Lan had to sing a one-man show.
"In the evening, there will be a celebration banquet at the Victoria Hotel. You, the biggest contributor, have to show up."
"Definitely arriving."
As soon as Zhang Chu put down his phone, Liu Dehua couldn't wait to ask.
"Really over 100 million?"
Although I have known for a long time that it would be a matter of time before the box office of "Taken" exceeded 100 million.
But it really happened, and Liu Dehua felt that it was extremely unreal.
When Zhou Xingchi's "Shaolin Soccer" took in 60 million at the box office in the first half of the year, people were still amazed. Some even said that no movie would break this record in the next 10 years.
The results of it?
Only half a year has passed, and not only has a movie achieved this, but it has also directly completed the feat of over 100 million.
Glancing at Zhang Chu sitting next to him, Liu Dehua actually felt like "I'm old."
The phone rang again, this time it was Liu Dehua.
"Okay, Mrs. Xiang, I will definitely support you."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehua ordered the driver.
"To the Victoria Hotel."
