Reborn in Hong Kong: The Kung Fu Movie Star's Additional Training

Chapter 85 Everything is ready
Sitting in Chenfei's general manager's office, Zhong Chuhong and her daughter were in two completely different states.

Chen Fei looked at them quietly across the executive desk, feeling very comfortable.

Zhong Chuhong was inexplicably shy and reserved, and her calmness and composure during the audition completely disappeared.

In addition to the fact that this was her first time discussing such a formal cooperation, it was also because she didn't dare to look directly into Chen Fei's eyes.

But Mother Zhong kept laughing, so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows.

Especially when she heard clearly what Chen Fei said about the salary for making a movie: a two-month shooting period, Hong Kong dollars.

This is equivalent to three or four years of hard work in their fashion store!
More importantly, the dazzling golden door of the entertainment industry has since been opened to his daughter.

She seemed to see her rebellious eldest daughter suddenly sprouting gorgeous golden wings and about to take off and fly!
"You guys go back and discuss it. After you think it through, Chu Hong, come over and sign the contract."

"Three days later it will still be the same time, still here, I will wait here."

When Chen Fei said these words slowly, he inexplicably remembered the interview between himself and Wu Siyuan two months ago.

Two months later, I had become Wu Siyuan's character at that time.

"It's also time for the booting ceremony in three days. Chu Hong can participate together." Chen Fei looked at Zhong Chuhong with a smile.

He said calmly, "Do you have any other questions to ask me?"

Zhong Chuhong smiled shyly, and her erratic eyes briefly touched Chen Fei, then moved to her mother.

"I'm fine."

Mother Zhong responded: "Ahong will come here on time in three days, and I will ask Chen Fei to take care of her from now on."

Chen Fei smiled and said: "Definitely, Chu Hong has a bright future."

……

After finalizing the heroine, everything is ready for the new movie.

Chenfei is going to report to the chairman.

At this time, Chen Fei was very popular at Jiahe headquarters, and Zou Wenhuai's female secretary immediately beamed when she saw him.

He immediately called the chairman for instructions, and then led Chen Fei to the chairman's office.

In the distance, a heroic figure came out and stared directly at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei recognized this art superstar at a glance and looked at him with a smile.

Xu Guanjie was born with a prodigal temperament in his heart, and was indescribably chic and suave.

The way he looked at Chen Fei at this moment was completely different from that of his brother.

Xu Guanjie has an optimistic and lively personality, which is completely different from his eldest brother Xu Guanwen, who is always burdened to move forward.

Almost approaching, Xu Guanjie stretched out his index finger, squeezed it into a pistol gesture, and compared it to Chen Fei.

He put his finger to his mouth and blew lightly, then pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen Fei reached out and grabbed it in the air, clenching his fists as if he had caught all the bullets.

He spread his fingers again and seemed to scatter all the bullets on the ground.

He raised his eyebrows vigorously towards Xu Guanjie.

Xu Guanjie understood and laughed loudly.

The female secretary looked sideways at Chen Fei, then at Xu Guanjie's expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

……

Chen Fei is now sitting on the sofa and reporting to the two bosses who have high hopes for him.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang also liked this relaxed way of communication and sat quietly on the sofa.

First of all, the script that Chen Fei has compiled is based on the memory of the previous life, and the story is complete.

The name of the new movie is "Plan A".

The background of "Plan A" is Xiangjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and in the early days of the opening of the port in the th century.

At that time, the Xiangjiang pirate Luo Sanpao was ruthless and rampant, and repeatedly hijacked merchant ships.

In order to consolidate Xiangjiang's status as an international trade center, the Xiangjiang government reorganized the navy and established a marine police to resist pirates.And Plan A was formulated, but the operation failed repeatedly.

Marine Police Captain Ma Rulong was framed while performing his official duties and resigned angrily.

The pirate Luo Sanpao took the British general and his family hostage, and the government used Zhou Yongling, a businessman who had colluded with the pirates, to mediate.

Ma Rulong volunteered to pretend to be Zhou Yongling and went deep into the thieves' den to rescue the hostages.

He reorganized the Marine Police and continued with Plan A.

By cooperating with his boss Hong Tianci and his good brother Zhuo Yifei, they battle wits and courage with the pirates.

Finally, catch them all in one fell swoop.

……

Chen Fei emphasized his thoughts to Zou Wenhuai and the others.

"Plan A" has a bigger picture, unlike previous kung fu movies that only focused on grievances and petty conflicts.

Instead, the theme is to protect the people, the country and the world.

The second is that in terms of comedy style, "Plan A" will not only continue the juggling and humorous style of "Drunken Master", but also sublimate it.

"I plan to learn from Chaplin, the master of comedy in the Western silent film era." Chen Fei explained.

Zou Wenhuai clapped his hands and applauded: "I support this. Chaplin's style is particularly brilliant if used skillfully."

Then came the staff list.

Starring: Chen Fei, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Di Wei, Zhong Chuhong.

Supporting roles: Yuan Biao, Mars, Taibao, Guan Haishan, Wang Wei, Li Haisheng.

The behind-the-scenes team including photography, lighting props, makeup, and soundtrack were called from Jiahe headquarters.

"Zhong Chuhong?" Zou Wenhuai was confused. He had never heard of this name.

Chen Fei replied: "A new actor with both good looks and vitality is very suitable for the role in this film."

"The most important thing is that the cost can be controlled, because the heroine's role is not too heavy."

Zou Wenhuai nodded with confidence.

Chen Fei replied: "However, because this film involves many characters and scenes, the overall cost budget is still not low."

Zou Wenhuai asked: "What's the estimated cost?"

Chen Fei said: "The initial budget for the overall cost is 1000 million, and it may be increased depending on the specific situation."

He Guanchang blurted out in surprise: "1000 million?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at each other calmly, maintaining his usual light smile.

In this era, film investments usually only amount to a few million. It is common to shoot a kung fu movie with 200 million, but it is extremely rare for a high budget to reach 1000 million.

However, Golden Harvest also has the confidence to spend money. It once spent the highest budget on Bruce Lee. The production cost of "Enter the Dragon" was as high as 85 US dollars, equivalent to nearly 900 million Hong Kong dollars.

But the film was released worldwide in 1973 and grossed $9000 million at the box office that year alone.

Chen Fei had the box office success of Drunken Master, and Bruce Lee was a reference, so he was sure of the budget.

And he knows in his heart that a sufficient budget is the guarantee of the quality of the film.

"Does it include your personal remuneration?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Of course this budget includes personal remuneration."

Zou Wenhuai said slowly: "Jiahe will fully support your new movie, and I agree with this budget."

"But the expected box office of this movie in Hong Kong is at least 500 million yuan."

Chen Fei replied firmly: "I am confident."

……

After everything was settled, Chen Fei had one last wish before leaving for the shoot.
