Chapter 146 Chen Long Beats Chen Long
Chen Long personally sent Tang Long downstairs to the Eagle Emperor Group building. He patted Tang Long on the shoulder, "Along, thank you for your hard work, don't worry, Yang Sheng will give you an explanation..."
Tang Long was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Chen Long was talking about was neglected by Huo Manni before. He had already turned the story on this matter, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay, Yang Sheng said he would treat me to dinner tonight, and I dare to care about it. Uncle Master, is this script interesting enough?"
Hearing this, Chen Long pinched Tang Long's shoulder hard and smiled, "Satisfied, it's much more exciting than the previous script. I like Chen Guorong in this script more. He has never given up, but just investigated it secretly, which is in line with his character! The decadent and alcoholic Chen Guorong is really meaningless. Moreover, in this script, the big scenes are one after another, and it also involves the game of human nature. I am confident that I will bring this movie to the United States!"
Tang Long said helplessly: "According to the new script of "New Police Story", the filming cycle of the movie will definitely be extended..."
Chen Long nodded and agreed: "There is no way, the plot schedule you have increased is very difficult, and there are several explosion scenes, so it is normal to extend the shooting cycle..."
Tang Long asked: "Uncle Master, what should I do if "The Big Man"?"
“…”
Chen Long was stunned and didn't know how to reply to Tang Long.
According to the original plan, "New Police Story" should have started filming in early November, but due to script issues, it was postponed. With Tang Long's new script, the new filming time is set at the end of this month.
The delay was almost one month. The original 45-day shooting cycle was planned, but now it will probably take 60 days. It is estimated that it will be taken until the end of January 2003.
The filming time of "Big Man" is scheduled to be in the second half of December, with a shooting cycle of 45 days, and is expected to be completed before the Spring Festival in early February 2003.
But now "New Police Story" is delayed by one month, and the shooting cycle is extended by another half month, and the shooting time of the two movies has collided together.
Chen Long asked: "Can "Big Man" be postponed?"
Tang Long smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Master, Bonayu's schedule has been set!"
Chen Long grabbed his hair with a look of distress, "Blame me for this, blame me for it, what do you think you should do? Since you mentioned it, there must be a way..."
Tang Long looked helpless, "What else can I do? I can only do it. I will shoot both sides at the same time, so that the two crews can try to adjust our shooting time..."
Chen Long frowned, "Are you sure you can? We both are the protagonists?"
Both of them play the leading role and the anti-I play, and it is really difficult to operate.
Tang Long looked relaxed. As long as Chen Long agreed to play the show, it would not be a problem. "Don't worry, Wang Ri and Benny are both veterans, and there are few action scenes in "The Big Man", so the shooting is relatively simple. Maybe Wang Ri will finish the filming in advance..."
Chen Long shook his big nose and shook his head and said, "That's all I can do. If I didn't act in "Big Man", I wouldn't have encountered such a thing. I haven't been involved in the show for many years..."
Tang Long ignored Chen Long's complaint and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, congratulations, you will have to beat yourself up next summer. Then see which Chen Long is more powerful..."
Tang Long was a little curious about this. Although he was a little more inclined to "The Big Man", he rationally knew that "New Police Story" had a greater chance of winning.
Chen Long was stunned and smiled happily. This kind of thing is indeed rare, and the release date is so close. "New Police Story" is also scheduled for next year's summer vacation.
The last time he released two movies in a year was in 1995. One movie "Red Fan District" hit 56 million, ranking first in the annual box office list.
The movie "Thunderbolt Fire" had a box office of 45 million, ranking second, and it was his most glorious year in Hong Kong.
It was also that year after that, he went to Hollywood.
When Chen Long recovered from his excitement, Tang Long had already gotten in the car and was waving goodbye to him.
He immediately cursed, "Boy, you're just beating yourself..."
...
When Tang Long took May into the private room of the Peninsula Hotel, Xiang Lan Linyao and the others were already there and the dishes were served.
He quickly apologized: "Sorry, I'm late..."
In addition to Xiang Lan Linyao and the others, there are also screenwriters Zhuang Wenqing and Mai Hui of "Infernal Affairs" and another director Liu Wei in the room.
The director of "Infernal Affairs" has been confirmed, and is jointly directed by Liu Wei and Mai Hui. Liu Wei was recommended by Tang Long. When they saw Tang Long coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The reason why Tang Long was so courteous was naturally not because he was popular, but because he was the screenwriter and producer of "Crazy Diamond" that just won 40 million yuan in box office.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Tang Long is also one of the producers of "Infernal Affairs".
This was the first time Tang Long saw Liu Wei, so he hurried over to shake hands. This person was amazing. He grew up watching his movies. "Director Liu, I am Tang Long, I'm very happy that you promised to direct this film industry..."
He said to Zhuang Wenqing and Mai Hui on the side again: "Sit, sit, don't be polite..."
Liu Wei looked at Tang Long, was shocked by his youth, and smiled and said, "I'll call you Along, just call me andrew. Thank you for recommending me to direct this movie!"
Chen Qiang sat down at Lan Lin Yaoamy and the others. Xiang Lan waited for Tang Long and the others to greet each other, and then smiled and said, "Come and sit here, how about it? The meeting is going well?"
Another explanation, "I asked May and knew that you were about to arrive and we had not moved our chopsticks yet..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, they are all my own people, don't have to wait for me..."
Tang Long sat down to the position left for him between Xiang Lan and Lin Yao, while May walked to the position next to wendy and sat down.
Lin Yao picked up the teapot and poured tea for Tang Long's tea cup, looking virtuous and obedient.
Tang Long thanked him, picked up the tea and took a sip, and then replied to Xiang Lan, "It's still going well, it's already scheduled, and the computer will be turned on at the end of the month."
He put down the teacup and continued, "This time, the script for helping Eagle Emperor change "New Police Story" was not stopped. It was very good. The more I thought about it during the meeting, the more I felt the loss, so I mentioned to Yang Sheng and said that we could bear some funds. Unexpectedly, Yang Sheng actually agreed..."
Xiang Lan was stunned, then smiled happily and said, "This is a good thing! This is Chen Long's movie! In the past, many people used to wield checks to find Jiasui to invest in Chen Long's movies, but they were rejected by Boss Zhou..."
Tang Long shrugged and said, "I guess the investment amount is 10 million yuan and the title of a producer. By the way, Mrs. Chen, are you free at night? Yang Sheng wants to invite you to have dinner with Chen Sheng tonight..."
Xiang Lang was puzzled and asked, "Why did he treat us to a meal?"
Tang Long looked at May and smiled and said, "Let May say it!"
So May began to tell their trip to the Eagle Emperor this morning. Liu Wei and the other two also listened curiously. This was Chen Long's first movie after all, and the entire movie circle was paying attention, especially when I heard that Tang Long actually helped to change the script.
When May started talking, Amy handed over a piece of paper through Lin Yao, "This is the candidate for supporting actors in "Infernal Affairs" discussed in the morning. Do you see if there is any problem?"
Liu Wei, who was sitting opposite, saw this scene and quickly exchanged his eyes with Maihui, Zhuang Wenqing.
Amy is one of the producers of the "Infernal Affairs" crew. She was asking Tang Long for instructions, but Xiang Lan didn't care at all, but instead focused on listening to what the assistant said.
He had heard Mai Hui and Zhuang Wenqing say that Shengshi Film was willing to invest in "Infernal Affairs" by Tang Long, but he was a little unbelievable.
