Hong Kong drama begins with Liang Kun

Chapter 169 Matchmaking
After leaving Tan Cheng's company, Li Qiankun returned directly to his own company and began to think about the creation of a new script.

On the cover of the script on the table, there are four big characters "The True Colors of a Hero".

It's just that the script Li Qiankun wants to create now is slightly different from the movie directed and written by Wu Yusen in the real world.

The most obvious place is the names of the characters, such as the two brothers Song Zihao and Song Zijie. Since there are such two real characters in this world, and the plot in the play will inevitably contain some real deeds of these two people, so naturally Their real names could not be used, but were changed to the Tang Brothers, that is, Tang Zihao and Tang Zijie.

As for the very brilliant character, Little Ma, Li Qiankun deliberately changed the character's name to Ma Runfa in order to retain the title of "Little Ma".

In addition, a certain degree of revisions have been made to the matter about Brother Xiao Ma going to Baodao alone to kill the gangsters. After all, Brother Xiao Ma is an important suspect in the case that has already occurred, so if If this matter is completely restored, it may leave important clues for the police to investigate.

So Li Qiankun finally changed the plot to Little Ma, who learned that Song Zihao was arrested in Baodao, and planned to visit his elder brother, but he didn't expect to be framed and ambushed by his opponent, and finally started the part in the original movie. Great shootout sequence.

In this way, the wonderful scene of the gunfight in the movie is preserved, and the character of Xiao Ma is portrayed as a passive self-defense counterattack...

But the name and deeds of the big villain Tan Cheng have not changed at all, even Li Qiankun intentionally portrayed the role of Tan Cheng in the script as a more despicable, insidious and cunning villain image, compared to the original movie character. Even worse than that, even the actor who played Tan Cheng specially found an actor with an extremely obscene appearance to play him.

After the script is written, the next step is naturally the choice of actors.

Now with the popularity of prison turmoil, Xian Weicha's popularity has gradually heated up, and he is fully qualified to play the role of Tang Zihao in the movie.

As for the role of Tang Zijie in the original movie, Li Qiankun has even more choices. First of all, Watson is an object that can be chosen, but because his complexion is too dark, and Tang Zijie in the play is a young and green sweetheart. Young people have a feeling of thriving, so Watson's face is not suitable for such a role, nor can it bring a sense of trust to the audience.

So Li Qiankun finally set his sights on Huang Jiaju, and began to consider the possibility of Huang Jiaju playing the role of Tang Zijie.

Right now, Huang Jiaju has been accepted by the record market, especially the recently released "Earth" album, which sold 10 copies and became the first double-platinum record of the Beyond band.

So if Huang Jiaju, the lead singer of the band, plays the role of Tang Zijie, it will naturally bring a lot of traffic to the movie.

As for the role of Brother Ma, Li Qiankun finally decided to let Mark play the role. After all, the temperament of Brother Ma in the script cannot be played by just anyone.

I am afraid that only by letting Mark act in his true colors can the tragedy of this character be more perfectly reflected.

In addition, the ending of the script, Li Qiankun, has also been revised. In the original movie script, Xiao Ma was shot in the head by Tan Cheng without any precautions.

This kind of ending can naturally bring more elements of tragedy to the character of Xiao Ma.

However, the consequences that followed were probably not expected by Director Wu Yusen at the beginning.

After all, in the real world, when Wu Yusen filmed this movie, he probably just regarded it as an ordinary movie. He didn't think that this movie would be so popular in the future, and he didn't think that it was originally regarded as a supporting role. Brother Xiao Ma was actually regarded as the protagonist by the audience, and all kinds of attention were focused on Brother Xiao Ma.

So after the movie The True Colors of Heroes became popular, Wu Yusen naturally came up with the idea of ​​shooting the second part, but the pony brother who was used as a supporting role at the beginning was shot in the head at the end of the first part. It is impossible to survive,

But the audience's enthusiasm for this movie is mainly concentrated on Brother Xiao Ma, so Wu Yusen, who wanted to use the box office appeal of the first movie of Heroes to attract traffic, had to create a brother Xiao Ma in the sequel. The twin brother of the play, in order to avoid the loss of the fans of brother pony.

But the final effect is naturally greatly reduced. After all, for the audience, Brother Xiaoma is dead, so even if it is a twin brother who looks exactly like Brother Xiaoma, it is not Brother Xiaoma himself, and it is difficult to be recognized by the audience. recognized.

So Li Qiankun changed the final ending of the script to change that Xiao Ma found out that Tan Cheng's gun was actually aimed at the Tang brothers, but he resolutely used his body to block the bullet that Tan Cheng shot over.

Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit Brother Xiao Ma's vital parts, it just made Brother Xiao Ma faint.

In this way, when the second part is being filmed, the character of Xiao Ma can naturally appear in the movie and continue to drive the emotions of the audience...

After everything is ready, the true colors of heroes will officially start shooting.

However, during the filming process, Tan Cheng was still worried about the incident that he was frightened by the bomb in the office before, so he specially asked someone to go to the crew to make trouble, and by the way, continue to prevent Song Zihao and Mark from going the right way.

However, since the main filming location of the crew was located in Mong Kok, the result can be imagined. All the younger brothers sent by Tan Cheng were beaten and maimed by Li Qiankun's younger brothers, and were thrown downstairs in Tan Cheng's company...

This also made Tan Cheng fully aware of the great power of Li Qiankun, and that the title Dazi Hongxing was indeed not a cover.

Therefore, after suffering a loss, Tan Cheng no longer used this head-to-head strategy to be the best with Li Qiankun, but began to secretly look for a suitable opportunity, and then gave Li Qiankun a fatal blow.

But before Tan Cheng did anything out of the ordinary, Mark had already attacked him in advance.

On this day, Mark, Lei Yaoyang, Tony and several others came in front of Li Qiankun.

Among them, Mark had an excited smile on his face. He took out a huge tape from his back and put it in front of Li Qiankun, and said, "Brother Kun, look at what this is."

"Tape, what's so strange about it." Li Qiankun said disapprovingly.

"Yes, this is a tape, but it contains the data and programs that Tan Cheng made counterfeit banknotes, so it can also be regarded as a technology worth hundreds of millions." Mark smiled as if asking for credit.

"How did this thing come into your hands?" Li Qiankun couldn't help but hold the tape in his hand and began to examine it.

The match at the corner of Mark's mouth curled up, and then he raised his head and said, "Of course I got it from Tan Cheng."

"Don't bluff me, how could you get such a thing so casually?" Li Qiankun asked in shock.

Mark smiled mysteriously on his face, then leaned over and pressed his hands on Li Qiankun's desk, and said with a smile: "If you talk about it, I still have to thank you, Brother Kun, do you know that I followed your instructions? The method in the script went to Tan Cheng’s company to get the tape. I didn’t expect the method described in your script to really work. I just took a hostage and got the tape. It’s really smooth..."

After listening to Mark's introduction, Li Qiankun immediately remembered the connection between this incident and the plot in the script.

In the original movie, as a person who has been in and out of the counterfeit banknote production base all year round, Mark is naturally very clear about all the processes.

So he did enter Tan Cheng's counterfeit banknote base single-handedly, hijacked an old man, entered the factory smoothly, and got the tape.

So now after reading the script, Mark actually came up with the idea of ​​going to the counterfeit banknote base to grab the tapes in person, but because Li Qiankun arranged for him to film in the crew, Mark didn't implement it immediately.

But after Tan Cheng took the initiative to send people to the crew to make trouble, Mark's character of vengeance was completely irritated, so he joined forces with Tony, Lei Yaoyang and others to help him outside for the sake of safety, and finally succeeded I got the tape according to the method in the script.

"How many shots were fired?" Li Qiankun asked with a sigh after learning all the situation. After all, he knew that in the original movie, after Mark got the disk, he was chased by Tan Cheng's younger brothers for a long time. If it wasn't for Song Zihao's response, he might not be able to escape at all.

But now that Song Zihao has been waiting by Li Qiankun's side and did not participate in this operation, then Tony, Lei Yaoyang and others who came with Mark are naturally the main force of this operation.

Hearing Li Qiankun's question, everyone couldn't help laughing. Among them, Lei Yaoyang stretched out two fingers with a proud look, and said with a smile: "It's just used two clips."

Li Qiankun slapped his forehead after hearing this, and said helplessly: "That's the Central District, not Yau Tsim Mong. If you shoot there, you will definitely be targeted."

"It's okay, Brother Kun, we can take care of it." Mark patted his chest to assure him.

"Fuck your size, who do you think you are?" Li Qiankun scolded directly, and then said to Mark with a cold look: "Hurry up and go back to filming for me, and don't do this kind of thing in the future."

"Okay, brother Kun, I know, but the show will be finished tomorrow." In order not to make Li Qiankun angry, Mark quickly promised a word obediently, but then he stared at Li Qiankun's reaction and asked tentatively: " Then Brother Kun, this tape, how about I give it back to others?"

"Aren't you stupid? Of course I, the boss, is in charge of keeping such a hot thing. Could it be that you are sending it to your death?" After Li Qiankun finished speaking, he put the tape on the table into his drawer.

Mark, Tony and the others next to him looked at each other, and couldn't help showing a strange smile on their faces. After saying goodbye to Li Qiankun, they left the office quickly.

But as soon as he walked out of the office, Mark couldn't help but hugged Tony and Lei Yaoyang's shoulders and said excitedly: "Look, I'll just say, Brother Kun will definitely like this big gift I gave him."

"Don't be a fart, Brother Kun is right, this kind of thing is only safe if he holds it, and we will definitely burn ourselves if we hold it." Lei Yaoyang said in a solemn tone.

"Didn't you? Don't you see that Brother Kun really appreciates what I do?" Mark stared at Lei Yaoyang with a surprised expression.

"I can see it, but can we talk about it after leaving here? I know Brother Kun's ears are very good." Lei Yaoyang sneaked a glance at the door of Li Qiankun's office while speaking.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, then surrounded each other and left the office area of ​​Qiankun Films.

During this time, the filming of The True Colors of Heroes was completed intensively, and after a few days of post-production, it has reached the level where it can be released.

Now Qiankun Films has its own theater resources, so as long as the film production is completed, the release time is naturally at its discretion.

So the company took advantage of the time of July 7 to officially release the movie.

For others, this movie is just an ordinary movie. After all, Qiankun Films will release a new movie every month. Although each of them is relatively popular, there are highs and lows in comparison. of.

Judging from the current situation, Zhou Xingchi is undoubtedly the actor with the most box office appeal in Qiankun Films, so the people in the company put their main attention on Zhou Xingchi.

But since the release of True Colors, the views of the company staff have gradually changed.

The box office was 70 on the first day, 90 on the second day, 100 million on the third day, and 120 million on the fourth day...

As the box office revenue of the movie "The True Colors of Heroes" is getting higher and higher, all the cast and crew of Qiankun Films have also begun to cheer up,
They are paying attention to the movie's box office revenue and the audience's feedback every day, and gradually interacting with the audience, forming an upsurge of discussions about the movie in the market...

Among them, besides the plot of the movie, the most heated discussion is naturally the protagonists in it.

After the three main characters have gained countless fans, the character with the most fans gradually surfaced...

And this role is undoubtedly Brother Ma.

Mark didn't expect that he participated in this movie just out of curiosity, but he didn't expect his performance to be so popular with the audience, and he also gained so many fans.

This caused Mark's mentality to change gradually. He felt that he had been living in society for so many years, and his life was wonderful enough, especially after becoming Li Qiankun's younger brother, his life became even more wonderful.

But all the splendor is nothing compared to the current state of life.

This new status as an actor seems to give Mark a brand new life path, and everything begins to become full of possibilities...

So Mark finally formally told Li Qiankun that he wanted to be an actor at the celebration banquet of the true nature of a hero...

This is also Li Qiankun's arrangement for Mark, so after hearing Mark's thoughts with his own ears, Li Qiankun formally agreed with Mark to continue to customize a special script for Mark in the future, so that he can shine in the movie...

However, after Tan Cheng lost the tape for making counterfeit banknotes, he would naturally not stop there. After all, the tape can be said to be the main technical support of the counterfeit banknote group that Tan Cheng belongs to. Perhaps due to the leakage of data and technology, its unique advantage in the counterfeit banknote market no longer exists.

So in order to avoid these crises, Tan Cheng has been using various means to deal with Li Qiankun.

But every time Tan Cheng's team entered Mong Kok, they felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them, and there was no chance to attack them.

In addition, Tan Cheng has also watched the movie The True Colors of a Hero. He originally thought that the movie was just a movie, and it would not really have anything to do with him as the younger brothers said.

But when he discovered that the character with the same name and surname as himself in the movie not only had the same background as him, but also used the same name as the financial company used by the counterfeit banknote group to disguise himself,
In this way, as the movie became more and more popular, the audience became wider and wider, so the citizens were curious about whether there was really a counterfeit banknote business behind the scenes of Tan Cheng's financial company, and some people were even more worried about this company. The company's complicated background chose not to borrow money from this company, which led to a sharp decline in the company's business volume...

All of this made Tan Cheng dissatisfied with the plot of this movie, so in the current situation, Tan Cheng must resolve the grievances between himself and Li Qiankun as soon as possible, otherwise not only the company will be damaged , I will finish playing myself.

What's even more exasperating is that Tan Cheng thinks that he can be regarded as a hero no matter what, but he is portrayed as a villain in the movie, and the actor who plays him is very obscene, one look can make people feel like beating him impulse.

Therefore, the furious Tan became faster to resolve the grievances between him and Li Qiankun. He could only let his behind-the-scenes boss contact Jiang Tiansheng, and explained the various grievances between the two.

After learning the truth, Jiang Tiansheng didn't have much reaction to this. After all, the technology of making counterfeit banknotes is not within the scope of Hongxing Society's gang regulations.
So even though Li Qiankun now has the technology to make counterfeit banknotes, Jiang Tiansheng can't find any reason to restrict Li Qiankun, and even came up with the idea of ​​doing counterfeit banknote business with Li Qiankun...

But when Tan Cheng gave Jiang Tiansheng 500 million U.S. dollars and promised to cooperate with Jiang Tiansheng in the counterfeit banknote business if he could get the tape back from Li Qiankun, Jiang Tiansheng's thoughts changed, and he gradually began to favor On Tan Cheng's side...

So under Jiang Tiansheng's matchmaking, Li Qiankun had no choice but to agree to meet Tan Cheng.
