"I'm really curious when you say this." Han Jin said with a smile, "Let's take a look at the script for me."

"Okay." Wang Jing nodded, "The other one is "The Unheardable Speak" submitted for review by David Jiang." He then said.

Han Jin was stunned. This was the name of a song.

At the song auction at the beginning of the year, this song was bought by Chen Baiqiang. In June, the album of the same name "The Unheard" was released, which became his title song.

Because the song is touching, it has achieved a very good reputation and has also sold platinum in terms of sales. It is the best result Chen Baiqiang has achieved in the past two years.

I didn't expect that the name of this song was actually used in the movie name again.

"The name is interesting, what does the story mean?" Han Jin asked with a smile.

"It tells the story of a group of deaf and mute teenagers who have been taking care of five people all day long, then have a grudge with Hei X, and are finally attacked by the police and Hei X, resulting in one death and the other being imprisoned." Wang Jing said simply.

Han Jin nodded, and when he heard this story, he knew it was quite alternative.

The Hong Kong film industry does not pay much attention to vulnerable groups, such as mentally ill, disabled, homosexual, lonely and elderly people, and almost no one wants to film them.

Ultimately, it is all about interests. Art films are not easy to make money. Art films that focus on disadvantaged groups are even more niche among the niches.

If you are filming a literary romance film, it seems that Zhou Runfa and Chung Chuhong starred in "Fairy Tales in Autumn" and Zhang Manyu and Li Ming starred in "Sweet Honey". The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with romantic and touching love, is actually guaranteed.

However, if you make a social problem film, you will not be able to recover the investment. You may win one or two awards, but it will be of no help to the film company.

Therefore, small film companies generally do not invest in films of this type. Only large film companies like Xinyi City, Jiahe, and Yongsheng have such strength to take risks.

Of course, the most popular social art films in Hong Kong are not the three of them, but the Yindu Institution with mainland background. Most of the winning films of the Film Awards are produced by Yindu Institution, such as "Half of the People", "American Heart", "Father and Son", etc.

Because they have financial support from the mainland, they basically don’t have to worry about box office pressure. Their background is also destined to pay more attention to social issues in Hong Kong, and thus become the base camp of art films.

Yongsheng Entertainment was originally a company that pursued commercial interests. The first pioneering work was "Sex is Empty" which was playing the edge of love.

However, this year it has invested in two art films, one is "Why Have Me" starring Zheng Zeshi. It is about mentally retarded children; the other is "Woman's Heart" directed by Kwan Jinpeng, which tells the way couples get along.

This is all because of Han Jin's financial support, so the company dares to invest in such niche movies. For example, Jiahe and Xinyi City have to make money because their bosses still have to make money, so their support is not as strong as Han Jin.

This "The Unheard of Speak" was originally voted for Jiahe. After Hong Jingbao read the script, he decided to invest in the film.

However, because the box office of "Summer Lucky Star" was not as good as expected, his Baohe did not have that extra money, so he had to give up regretfully.

David Jiang felt that such a good story would be a very big loss if shelved due to lack of capital investment. She was planning to invest money by herself. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she heard the news that the Yongsheng Entertainment Film Investment Foundation was established.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, David Jiang handed over the script, but unexpectedly he was attracted by the King of Kings.

"Well, this story sounds pretty good. Just take the script to me when you look back." Han Jin nodded. Then he smiled and said, "David Jiang, can it be that David Jiang?"

"That's right, it's that David Jiang." Wang Jing nodded and smiled.

Han Jin smiled, "Why is it popular to cross-dress now? Actors are screenwriters and directors, and they are really versatile. Which next script is the next one? Could it be that it is also a cross-dressing, right?"

"That's right, the script below is really a cross-dressing." Wang Jing said with a smile.

Han Jin was stunned and couldn't help but shake his head, "Why is this popular now? Whose next script is from?"

"It was David Jiang's younger brother Er Dongsheng." Wang Jing said.

Han Jin smiled, "Okay, the two brothers have come in a group to cross-dress. What kind of script is his?"

"It is also a movie about mentally ill patients, called "The Legend of the Epilepsy." Wang Jing said.

Han Jin nodded. He had watched this movie before and left a very deep impression on him.

Especially the scene where Qin Pei, one of the leading actors, finally splattered blood in kindergarten with a knife, is probably the most chilling scene in Hong Kong films.

"Well, let's tell this story." Han Jin said.

Wang Jing nodded and told the story of "The Legend of the Episode".

This story is about a writer who took the initiative to approach a volunteer responsible for rescuing mental patients because he wanted to write a story about a mentally ill patient.

When he was serving the mentally ill patients in the community with him, he saw all kinds of mentally ill patients. The two of them also sparked sparks during their work but there were also many frictions.

In the end, the volunteer was buried under the knife of a mentally ill patient, and the writer wiped away his tears and decided to continue to volunteer unfinished responsibilities and continue to take care of these mentally ill patients.

"I didn't expect Xiaobao's first movie to be so amazing~" After hearing the entire story, Han Jin couldn't help but sigh.

When ordinary new directors make movies for the first time, they usually make some likable movies, such as comedy and romance movies. The box office is guaranteed and easy to be outstanding. Once it becomes popular, they will immediately gain a foothold.

No one is so bold. He made such an art film for the first time he made a film, and it was a niche art film. He was simply a joke about his directorial career. If this movie was lost, I believe no one would dare to invest in him anymore.

"It's really awesome to play." Wang Jing sighed.

His first movie was "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Kings", which not only followed the popular TV series "The Kings of Thousand Kings" in terms of themes. It was also an action movie, so the box office was naturally guaranteed.

In comparison, Er Dongsheng is indeed brave enough to dare to touch such an alternative subject. That is, Han Jinren is willing to invest in such a movie, otherwise he can change his company and make sure to throw the script out in minutes.

Movies with themes like this are sure and will definitely not make money.

"I think this story is OK." Han Jin nodded, "Get the script back and call the three of them to see."

Wang Jing agreed, then helped Han Jin bring the script over, and invited Wan Ziliang, Jiang David and Er Dongsheng to come over for him.

"Brother Wan, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Er, sit down. sit down~" Han Jin had already finished reading the script at this time. When he saw the three of them coming, he immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"You don't have to be polite, thank you Jin Shao." Seeing Han Jin so enthusiastic, the three of them couldn't help but feel relieved, and they all sat down with a smile.

"Congratulations to all three, your script has passed the review and the company has decided to invest." Han Jin said with a smile.

Wan Ziliang and the other two looked at each other and were very happy.

"Brother Wan, your script of "Murdering Wife Duo" is really well written. It's quite interesting." Han Jin said with a smile, "Are you determined as an actor?"

"I want to invite Zhong Zhentao to direct and star in this drama," said Wan Ziliang.

Han Jin was stunned. Zhong Zhentao was banned by himself because he stole the show. Because he was too lethal, he had not recovered his energy until now. Unexpectedly, Wan Ziliang would choose him as the director.

"Does Brother Wan and A B feel very familiar?" Han Jin asked in confusion.

"Yes. We often play ball together." Wan Ziliang said with a smile, "This story was also written by him, so I want to give him a favor."

"Oh, so that's it." Han Jin nodded, "Okay. Another male lead, I think Zhou Runfa is quite suitable. What do you think?"

"Well, I think he is more suitable, too." Wan Ziliang said with a smile. Zhou Runfa looked tall and handsome. Although he was known as the box office poison, many film companies still like to use him.

One is that the pay is cheap, but if you play a supporting role, it will be enough for 50,000 yuan; the other is that the acting is good, although it is infamous for the box office poison, its acting skills are actually obvious to all.

"Okay, for the two heroines, I think Mei Yanfang and Wang Xiaoxian are quite suitable. What do you think?" Han Jin asked again.

Wan Ziliang nodded. Mei Yeon-fang is the most popular female singer in Hong Kong now, and her popularity is already very good. She is also very spiritual in her performance. She also won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the Film Award for "Adventure" with Zhang Guorong. If she was the heroine, I believe she would definitely get a good box office.

As for the other nominee Wang Qixian, Wan Ziliang has never had any contact with her, but he also knows this lucky Taiwanese girl.

As soon as he came to Hong Kong, he was able to work with Han Jin to film "The Emperor of Work" and achieved very good box office results. Not everyone has this luck. Moreover, Wang Xiaoxian looks pure and cute, and has a talent for acting in comedy, so he can definitely act in this movie "The Duo of Killing Wife".

"Okay, just do what you said, "Wan Ziliang nodded.

"Okay, I won't say much about other actors. You have discussed with Ah B yourself. Is it enough to approve three million Hong Kong dollars in terms of funds?" Han Jin asked again.

"Enough, enough." Wan Ziliang said quickly. Unexpectedly, Han Jin gave the money so happily, and he gave it three million Hong Kong dollars as soon as he said it.

He has been in the industry for so many years and has starred in many movies. He is also a star in the Hong Kong film industry, but his total net worth is not yet three million.

"Okay," Han Jin nodded and said to David Jiang, "Mr. Jiang, I have read your script, and it is very touching and touching."

"Thank you, this is all the credit of the two screenwriters Shao Guohua and Anxi." David Jiang said with a smile.

Han Jin smiled and invited him, "I appreciate the talents of these two screenwriters. I wonder if they are interested in joining our Yongsheng Entertainment?"

If he remembers correctly, this Anxi is a well-known talented woman in Hong Kong. She has written many good scripts such as "Sweet Honey", "Man Forty", and "Three Forks". She is a rare talent.

"I don't know much about this, but I will convey Mr. Xu's meaning to them." David Jiang nodded.

"Okay, then I'll bother Mr. Jiang." Han Jin smiled, "Then let's talk about the cast of this movie. I hope my classmate Liu Qingyun will play the role of starring McGee."

David Jiang nodded. He knew Liu Qingyun.

Last year's "Sex is Empty" made him suddenly become the newcomer king in the Hong Kong film industry last year, with a box office of 24 million Hong Kong dollars and successfully entered the Japanese market. The newcomer's first step was very solid.

Then this year's "Flying Tiger Soldier" made him show his manly spirit, showing that he is an actor with strong plasticity, which is very good.

"In addition, I hope Wu Qirong will play the role of the Leopard who was beaten to death." Han Jin said again.

Although Liu Qingyun and Wu Qilong are still filming "Demon Jade", they are just supporting roles, similar to guest appearances. If the filming is fast, they can be finished in a few days and will not waste too much time.
