Chapter 546 I want a salary increase!


    There are three movies being filmed on the Clear Water Bay set.


    "Happy Ghost 2" and "The Frog Prince" are about to be completed, as well as Tsui Hark''s new work "The Working Emperor", which is a script collected by his studio. Chen Qi is happy to see this situation, so that he will not become a script writing machine.


    He circled around and returned to the main building.


    After being busy for a while, someone came to report: "Mr. Yuan Kui is here!"


    "Please come in!"


    Then, a guy with a big face, thick eyebrows and an unattractive appearance walked in and said in standard old Beijing dialect: "Mr. Chen, I have admired you for a long time, and finally I have a chance to meet you!"


    This of yours is very authentic.


    In the South, especially the Cantonese-speaking area, there is no distinction between you and you.


    "I should thank you for coming to help."


    "Oh, don''t say anything else, just let me use a pseudonym."


    Yuan Kui has a very upright attitude. He just works secretly to make money.


    Immediately, Chen Qi told him about the setting of "Fatal Express" and said: "The real director is Lam Ling-tung. He is filming "Happy Ghost 2" and is temporarily unavailable. I don''t want to delay it for so long. Let''s shoot some first. Play."


    "You are the boss, you have the final say. Can I see the actors first?"


    "Can!"


    …


    Yindu dormitory.


    Yu Rongguang, Ji Chunhua, Sun Jiankui, and Xiong Xinxin were playing cards noisily.


    In another room on the same floor, Li Lianlian was lying on the sofa watching TV. After watching for a while, he turned it off. Then he noticed the noise next door, so he ran to the balcony to enjoy the air. When he looked out, he saw the busy streets of Hong Kong.


    He is a little anxious now.


    I have been in Hong Kong for several months and have never started working. I have been learning things like acting, lines, English, and even dressing up. These are rough old men, how can they have the patience to learn this?


    Li Lianlian is still sensible and studies English seriously. He knows that Chen Qi wants to take him to Hollywood.


    Chen Qi came back from the United States in July and has been busy with the Good Voice project. Li Lianjie was holding back something he didn''t dare to talk about, and it was his income. Cheng Long gets two to three million for a movie, and Xu Guanjie gets two million. I don’t expect that much, but it has to be a bit higher, right?


    He still received the salary standard of a martial arts team, with a daily subsidy of three yuan when filming a movie.


    The income is all in bonuses.


    The three "Tai Chi" movies received 30,000 yuan.


    He admitted that Chen Qi treated him well, but staying in a hellish place like Hong Kong would inevitably give rise to some thoughts.


    "Hey, how can I tell Brother Qi? I don''t dare to say it. What should I do?"


    Compared with history, Li Lianlian has had a smooth journey and has not suffered any setbacks, but he is not stupid. Chen Qi has already seen his methods of dealing with Hong Kong people. He is a deceitful guy who does not blink an eye.


    He was blowing the wind and talking, and suddenly someone knocked on the door outside.


    "Ajie, are you here?" came Guan Lijie''s voice.


    "Well, what''s the matter?"


    "Brother Qi asked us all to go to the set. The martial arts instructor is here!"


    "Right now!"


    Li Lianjie immediately became energetic and ran to the next door first: "Stop playing, go to the set, it''s time to start working!"


    "It''s finally time to start work! I''m almost suffocating!"


    "I would rather be pushed to the ground and eat **** than learn English!"


    "Brother Qi is going to take us to Hollywood. How can we do it if we don''t know English?"


    Ji Chunhua and others also set off energetically, went downstairs, got into a van with Guan Lijie, and hurriedly headed to the set.


    …


    When we got to the place, we went straight to the studio.


    Everyone stood in a row, and Chen Qi introduced Yuan Kui: "Li Lianjie, the male protagonist, is withdrawn and a loner, and the one who can fight best. Yu Rongguang, the gangster villain, has a perverse and cruel personality, and is as good as the protagonist."


    Those three strange-looking ones are probably Yu Rongguang''s men, little villains.


    Guan Lijie plays a policeman with a positive image. He has no martial arts background and the action design can be simpler. "


    "Are there any female characters?"


    "Female characters don''t fight!"


    "What style do you want?" "Modern!"


    Yuan Kui glanced at him and said speechlessly: "This is too general."


    "First of all, it needs to be clean, sharp, and ruthless. No fancy tricks. The scale of blood can be larger. Secondly, it needs to use various modern props. There are very few guns in this film, and most of them are cold weapons.


    For example, baseball bats, daggers, machetes, and axes. The male protagonist does not carry weapons with him. What are they used for? Make full use of the surrounding environment. Can you understand this? "


    “…”


    Yuan Kui thought for a while and said: "I can give it a try. I have watched several movies, but it is my first time contacting them and I don''t understand them yet. Let''s get familiar with the movements first."


    "No problem, how do you want to show it? How about I do a set of punches?"


    Li Lianjie patted his chest, he was absolutely confident in martial arts routines.


    "No, no, no! This is not a period film, no punching."


    Yuan Kui glanced at several people and secretly thought that these were all good fighters, but they lacked experience as martial arts masters. He picked out Ji Chunhua and Xiong Xinxin and said, "You fight, I will simply design a few moves."


    He asked Ji Chunhua and Xiong Xinxin to attack from both sides and devised several moves.


    Mainly depends on their accuracy.


    In the filming scene, no matter how you fight, you have to set up the action in advance, and it won''t work even if it''s half a second off. Your fist came over, but I missed half a second without turning my head, so it hit me. You turn around and chop, and I lie down in advance, then it becomes "Oh, doesn''t this show that your marksmanship is accurate!"


    The three of them practiced having sex.


    Yuan Kui''s eyes shone, and he felt the same way as Yuan Heping and Tsui Hark when they patted Li Lianlian. They had found a treasure!


    "Okay! No need to try, I understand your skills."


    Yuan Kui nodded and said, "Give me a few days to prepare. Once the scenery is set up, we can start shooting."


    "If you have nothing to do today, you might as well stay a little longer and communicate more." Chen Qidao.


    "Yeah, that''s fine!"


    With that said, Yuan Kui took a few people there to compete, and Chen Musheng also followed. He is the deputy director of "Fatal Express" and is commonly known as a handyman.


    …


    Chen Qi came out temporarily, took a chair and sat at the door of the studio to bask in the sun.


    I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of chirping came, but it was the filming of "Happy Ghost 2" next door. Four little girls were wearing the same sailor uniforms from the first film, with a section of their calves exposed, running towards the car.


    The steps are brisk and the skirts are flying.


    "Mr. Chen!"


    "Mr. Chen!"


    “We shot the exteriors and then they sent us straight home!”


    "Oh, be careful when you go out."


    Chen Qi said hello, took a quick glance with the experience of two LSPs, and accurately concluded: "Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin have the best legs, long, straight and well-proportioned, Yuan Jieying is a little bit worse, and Bai Anni is a little bit worse."


    Oops, speaking of legs, Wan Qiwen’s are the prettiest. "


    He watched the van go away and continued to lie down on the chair, like a salted fish.


    After a while, Yuan Kui led everyone out. He was very excited and seemed to be communicating very well. He said, "Mr. Chen, your people are all excellent. This must be a good movie!"


    "Then it''s hard work!"


    "It''s easy to talk about. I''ll go back today and come back tomorrow."


    Yuan Kui left first.


    Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, everyone naturally stayed in the cafeteria. Yu Rongguang and the others went to Tsui Hark''s place to watch the fun and maybe make a guest appearance. Li Lianjie did not move, standing next to him nervously.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Chen Qi asked.


    "Brother Qi, is "Fatal Express" about to be officially launched?"


    "Well, what''s wrong?"


    "My, uh..."


    Li Lianjie gritted his teeth, but his courage to raise his salary prevailed: "Will my salary for this film still be according to the previous standards?"


    (No more!)
