Hong Kong drama begins with Liang Kun

Chapter 7 Preparation
After Zhou Xingchi left, Li Qiankun began to organize the company's accounts.

These days, he spent 25 yuan on Zhou Xingchi alone, plus the money for Li Ahua and other company expenses, more than 30 yuan has disappeared from the company's account.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, basically all the funds were used for the shooting of the first pornographic film.
This movie did not disappoint Li Qiankun either. A total of 4 videotapes were released, and Qiankun Films could earn a profit of 20 yuan per videotape. In this way, the company had 80 yuan in its account.

Compared with the original cost of 15 yuan for filming this movie, this is really a big profit.

No wonder everyone in the company didn't quite understand Li Qiankun's proposal to change his career to filming theater movies.

This is tantamount to taking risks instead of doing a business that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Li Qiankun finally decided to continue making pornographic movies to make money, and handed over this business to Sha Qiang. After all, Sha Qiang has been involved in this business since the company started until now. Li Qiankun felt more at ease if he gave it to him.

Li Qiankun himself, on the other hand, put most of his energy on the theater movie business.

According to the filming requirements of the movie Truant Veyron, the main shooting location is in a school,

So contacting a school that is willing to provide a shooting location has become the first problem to be solved right now.

With Li Qiankun's current contact information, it is easy to contact nightclubs, dance halls, mahjong halls and other places, but he is really not very familiar with the school.

So he handed over these things to his subordinates, hoping to get this done through other people's contacts.

After two days of contact, Tsz Wan Shan English School finally agreed to the request of Qiankun Films for live-action shooting, and vacated a classroom that has been vacant all year round to facilitate filming.

The price that Qiankun Pictures needs to pay is also very simple, that is, the rent of 2000 yuan per day.

The next step is the selection of actors.

The male number one among the truant Weilong is naturally Zhou Xingchi who has recently joined the company.
But Zhou Xingchi's reputation is still very small now, if even the female lead is unknown, I'm afraid this movie may not get much attention in the future, and even the theaters will reduce the film's screening rate because of this.

Therefore, for the choice of female number one, Li Qiankun planned to find a familiar female star from another company to help out.

In such a complicated world, the male and female stars in the entertainment industry are different from the previous life, so in the process of looking for the female number one, Li Qiankun has never heard of any of the names of some female stars recommended by Sha Qiang , but looking at Shaqiang's appearance, these female stars seem to be very famous.

Seeing that Li Qiankun was not very satisfied, Shaqiang recommended a few more beautiful actresses, among which Lin Qingxia's name finally caught Li Qiankun's eyes.

At this stage, Lin Qingxia has already filmed many films in Baodao and Xiangjiang, so she has some market appeal in these two major film markets.

"It's her." Li Qiankun drew a circle on Lin Qingxia's name, and then asked Sha Qiang to bring the script and go to contact Lin Qingxia's manager in person.

After all, an actor of Lin Qingxia's level must read the script before deciding to sign a contract.

Especially when cooperating with a newly established film company like Qiankun Films, the script is the most important thing for this kind of actor, not just the salary.

As for the other roles, it's much easier to choose.

The actor of Uncle Da must be Cui Shuida. After all, Li Qiankun decided to accept Cui Shuida as his younger brother, and he had planned to let him act in the movie.

In order to be more down-to-earth, Li Qiankun changed the role of the director who lost his gun to chief inspector, and decided to invite Liu Jialiang to play the role. After all, Liu Jialiang was also born as a martial artist in this world. Later, he changed careers and became an actor and martial arts instructor.

And Li Qiankun planned to ask Liu Jialiang to play the role of chief inspector in this movie with a salary of 15 yuan, and at the same time be responsible for all the action directors in the play.

At this time, the contract between Liu Jialiang and Shaw Brothers is about to expire, and he is looking for a new home.

Li Qiankun can take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to discuss with Liu Jialiang the opportunity for long-term cooperation in the future.

As for the big villain named Da Fei in the movie, it is natural that Da Fei should play the role. After all, it is really not easy to find an actor who looks like a gangster.

With a ready-made artist like Da Fei, Li Qiankun would save a lot of trouble.

After Dafei learned that he got such a role, he was very happy, especially after knowing that the character in the play had the same name as his own, he thought that Li Qiankun was taking care of him specially.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the characters in the play are called, and Xiangjiang movies have always had the same words as the actors' real names in the names of the characters in the play for so many years. This is not intentional by the screenwriter or director, but I'm really too lazy to spend my time on this, just improvising.

As for the roles of other teachers and students, most of them are looking for suitable candidates in the school. Li Qiankun will only let his own actors play the roles with more roles.

Especially the school bully student, the first thing Li Qiankun thought of was Ahu. After all, the current Ahu is only 18 years old, coupled with his naturally fierce appearance, it is perfect to play a school bully student.

A few days later, Sha Qiang took the company's people to the school to decorate the vacant classroom. At the same time, the staff of the lighting, props and other departments also began to prepare their own work according to the requirements of the scene.

As Cui Shuida is an important supporting role in this movie, Li Qiankun specifically explained that he should prepare his lines carefully during this period of time, so as to avoid ng because of forgetting words during the official filming.

In that case, who knows how much film will be wasted and how much production cost will be spent.

But at such a juncture, Cui Shuida couldn't find anyone,
After calling Cui Shuida's pager more than a dozen times, Li Qiankun finally received a call from a girl on his mobile phone.

The other party claimed that she was Cui Shuida's daughter and was taking care of Cui Shuida who was seriously injured at home.

When Li Qiankun heard that Cui Shuida was seriously injured, he immediately lost his composure.

It's not a good sign that an important supporting actor is seriously injured when filming is about to start.

So Li Qiankun immediately came to Cui Shuida's home, wanting to ask what happened.

Cui Shuida's home is located on the famous Bolan Street.

This is the famous red-light district of Xiangjiang, especially in the 80s, where good and bad people are mixed, and the people who live here will inevitably be involved in associations as long as they have not received much education.

For example, people like Cui Shuida have been living with the Lianhe club all the time, and even his daughter has been in contact with various club people since she was a child.
