Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 186 Recruitment

Why does Sammo Hung want Chen Xunqi? This has to start from the previous "Fast and Furious".

Most of the scripts written by Su Cheng are accompanied by corresponding sub-shots. It is also here that as a director, you can intuitively see the whole picture of the finished film. When shooting, you will also be able to do it with ease.

So much so that now other directors and screenwriters within Tengyue have begun to imitate it.

However, in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Fast and the Furious", Su Cheng only completed part of the core, and the rest relied on Sammo Hung and others to perfect it.

On the set at that time, Sammo Hung had a deep understanding of how tiring it was. After all, Hollywood blockbusters are different from Hong Kong movies. Just design some action?

If it were really done, I'm afraid that even Su Cheng wouldn't be able to pass the test. As a result, it would either be deleted and re-filmed, or it would be directly replaced by someone with more ability to direct it.

Looking back now, I still feel scared!

But at this time, after meeting Chen Xunqi, Sammo Hung couldn't help but regret a little. If he asked this person for help at that time, maybe he would be able to relax a lot!

Most people know that Chen Xunqi has outstanding talent in scoring, and is even known as the "Music Master".

But in fact, Chen Xunqi's ability is not just that little! If you really want to talk about it, in the 1970s, more than 70% of the movie soundtracks in Hong Kong and Bay Island came from Chen Xunqi. This shows that his ability

How strong is it? The uncrowned king of movie soundtracks!

Even in Hollywood, there are many movie soundtracks composed by Chen Xunqi.

However, they all overlooked one thing. Chen Xunqi is not only a master of music, but also a master of painting and editing. He is also very accomplished in composition.

With him on board, are you still worried that the storyboarding will not be good? Not to mention, the company is in urgent need of a soundtrack master.

The more he thought about it, the brighter Sammo Hung's eyes became. He said: "Archie, you have been a soundtrack composer at Shaw Brothers for more than ten years, and you have finally become independent as an actor, director, and even screenwriter. Your vision can no longer be limited. Could it be?

Do you want to stay in Yongjia for another ten years?"

"Huh? What does Brother Sanmao mean?" Chen Xunqi said anxiously.

Sammo Hung analyzed: "Look, you have been able to draw since you were a child, and you have the talent to be a photographer, editor, and director. After listening to Aaron's words, you personally participated in the crew to understand the character."

"It's the same. Your music scores and your experience as a director have improved by leaps and bounds. But this is only in Hong Kong. What about Hollywood? Although you have done it, how many have become famous? After all, the crew there attaches great importance to the protection of scripts.

.I’m afraid it’s not as easy as Hong Kong movie soundtracks!”

After slowing down, Sammo Hung continued: "As for us at Tengyue Entertainment, we shoot a lot of Hollywood blockbusters every year, so you have the opportunity to learn."

"As long as I'm here, in less than half a year, you can not only be an assistant director and learn from me, but you can even participate and try out as a supporting role. How much better is this than what you did in Yongjia?"

"Besides, Archie! You are also over 30 years old, how many more years do you have left to squander and waste at will?"

"This..." Chen Xunqi was stunned and fell silent.

Several people around him did not expect that Sammo Hung would suddenly recruit Chen Xunqi. In their inherent concepts, the other party had his own company and was developing quite well.

But then I thought about it, I was afraid that it would be better to stay at Tengyue Entertainment for a few years. Not only to make money, but also to sublimate myself, it is something that others can only hope for!

Huang Bingyao advised with deep understanding: "Archie, I think Sanmao is right. You can come to Tengyue and give it a try. Besides, even if it doesn't work, you already have experience in starting a company, so you can just take this path in the future.

.”

Zheng Zeshi also chimed in: "I think it's okay! In this way, everyone can work together again."

Not knowing what he was thinking, Jackie Chan also said: "Go, Archie, Tengyue is great! In a year or two, you will understand that it will be much more exciting than the ten years you stayed at Shaw Brothers."

"Oh, you guys..." Chen Xunqi laughed and scolded: "Especially Sanmao, my company has just started to improve..."

Sammo Hung interrupted: "You will thank me later!"

"Maybe!" Although he didn't relent, looking at it, Chen Xunqi was already moved. After all, Tengyue's development is indeed very attractive. Not to mention, his age is indeed a flaw.

He is often mistaken for Lin Zixiang.

But in Chen Xunqi's eyes, when he became famous, Lin Zixiang still didn't know where he was?

However, he is tone deaf and has musical talent but no singing talent! He has been working behind the scenes and has become a "neglected" object.

If he gets on the Teng Yue ship, his fame will gradually surpass that of George Lam.

Thinking of this, Chen Xunqi stood up and raised his glass: "I'd like to toast everyone!"

"cheers!"

"..."

After the dinner party was over and everyone dispersed, Zheng Zeshi took Sammo Hung's car back. On the way, he patted the other party and said hesitantly: "For this kind of thing, you don't need to say hello to the boss in advance?"

"No!" waved his hand, Sammo Hung exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said: "I know what you want to say. First of all, Archie is not the Rosamund Kwan. I believe the boss welcomes him to join us more than me. We have him as a leader in our company.

The soundtrack can save a lot of things."

"Furthermore, he is an excellent actor, and he is also talented as an editor and director. I approached him because I wanted to make a career in Hollywood. There are many outstanding actors in our company, but not many have martial arts disciples. Wait for our movie "

You will understand when "The Fast and the Furious" is released. In addition, his appearance is very suitable for European and American aesthetics, with a beard."

"As you like!" Zheng Zeshi said with a smile.

While lying in the back seat, what Sammo Hung was thinking was that if the boss had a team for his next film, Chen Xunqi would be a good "consigliere" because he was "very weak". But when the opponent attacks, he will understand.

It turns out that this "skinny man" is also a hidden master?

Coupled with his comedy talent, he can add a lot of color to the movie.

If Su Cheng knew it, he would definitely give Sammo Hung a thumbs up. Chen Xunqi has many uses, especially as a soundtrack for movies produced by the Hollywood branch of Tengyue Entertainment.

In the past, we all paid masters from Hollywood to do the soundtrack. Not only was it expensive, but the quality was not that good.

Occasionally, even Li Xiaotian and others could not satisfy Su Cheng and others. If it were Chen Xunqi, the situation would be completely different.

Of course, they will not overdo it. They will arrange a large number of roles for this talent to play. As for the director, let's try it with Sammo Hung first!

After all, the currently released movie "A Date with a Beautiful Lady" directed by Chen Xunqi is the first one!
