Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 436 Surpassing New Art City?
Although I don't know why Mai Jia and Huang Baiming came to the celebration banquet of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", Wang Jing and Wen Jun still showed a very enthusiastic attitude.

How to say that Mai Jia and Huang Baiming also played a cameo role in "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants". Although the time is not long, it still has a lot of help to the box office revenue.

"You two are too kind. This drama is all thanks to the help of you two. Speaking of it, I should thank you two."

At this time, Wang Jing was just a chubby little fat man, and he spoke politely, at least people would think he was telling the truth after listening to it.

"Director Wang, you're being polite. We're just playing a cameo role in this movie, and the time is not long. The most important thing is that the movie is well shot, otherwise it wouldn't be such a hit."

Although Maijia said so, he definitely didn't think so in his heart, even Huang Baiming who was beside him was the same.

"You two are too polite, you must drink a few more glasses today, Ari, you bring Mr. Mai and Huang Baiming in."

After a few words of politeness, Zheng Danrui hurried inside with Mai Jia and Huang Baiming.

After they left, Wang Jing and Wen Jun glanced at each other, and then both of them had confused expressions on their faces.

If it were them, they would definitely not have come to this celebration banquet under such circumstances.

Although they are all from New Oriental, in fact, everyone is fighting on their own. In fact, there is still a bit of competition, especially after the establishment of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Originally, Wen Jun's studio was not paid much attention by Lin Daoqiu at all, and even Wen Jun believed that Xinyicheng was undoubtedly the production company Lin Daoqiu relied on most.

With the addition of Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, as well as Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui believed that they should be at the bottom of the list.

However, a "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" allowed them to defeat "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing 2". Although there are many external factors in it, it is undeniable that they seem to have hope to surpass New Art City.

"I think there will be a few more movies this year? You know, our company has only made one movie since its establishment. Compared with New Art City, it is far behind."

More dramas means more income. Although Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui have been assigned to ATV to shoot TV dramas, it doesn't mean they don't have time to write movie scripts.

And now they already have a little money in their hands. This time, they can all get over one million in income from the split of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", which made Wen Jun's thoughts come alive all of a sudden.

Of course Wang Jing hopes to have more movies, but he is worried that if Lin Daoqiu continues to treat "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" in the next movie, if he is allowed to suffer like this, he will only be able to make one movie a year at most.

"It's okay to have more plays. I have a few scripts in my hand, but I'm afraid that those scripts won't be able to pass Mr. Lin's test."

Wang Jing originally joined Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's film company because he wanted to hug their thighs, but he didn't expect him to become the company's thighs instead.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Brother Qiu, and I think that since he helped you get Xie Xian to New Oriental, it means that his requirements for you should not be as high as before."

Although Wen Jun's words sounded uncomfortable to Wang Jing, it has to be said that his judgment was quite correct.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to completely change Wang Jing's mind, then he would not have forced Xie Xian to come over from Shaw Brothers.

But now that everyone has found New Oriental, it is naturally impossible to only shoot one movie a year. If this is the case, Xie Xian may be the first to refuse to agree.

"Well, then when Mr. Lin comes later, you can test his tone. If there is no problem, I will go to him with the script tomorrow."

And when Wang Jing and Wen Jun had just talked about Xie Xian, as the protagonist of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", Xie Xian was walking out of the elevator with his wife Deborah.

"Brother Xian, you, the protagonist, are finally here."

At this time, Xie Xian has not filmed "The King of Thousand Kings", so naturally no one will call him the fourth brother.

"There's a little traffic jam on the road, I shouldn't be late."

Xie Xian is only 40 years old at this time, and he is in the prime of his life. His gestures are full of handsomeness. In the eyes of others, it is not that kind of artificial feeling, but it makes people feel that this is what he exudes. out of the temperament.

"Brother Xian came just in time, please come in, everyone is waiting for you inside."

Wang Jing quickly invited Xie Xian and Deborah in, leaving only Wen Jun at the door, because he still had to wait for Lin Daoqiu here.

Not long after Xie Xian entered, Lin Daoqiu also came late, and this time it was Zhong Chuhong who followed him.

With the lessons learned from the last time, Lin Daoqiu always reminded himself that he must bring a companion by his side when he attended these events, and the reason why he was late was because he had to pick up Zhong Chuhong, so he was delayed on the way.

"Brother Qiu..."

As soon as Wen Jun saw Lin Daoqiu, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Looking at Wen Jun who was full of smiles, Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say. After all, the box office of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" broke tens of millions, and he didn't seem to be unhappy.

"Congratulations, Boss Wen."

Lin Daoqiu's address made Wen Jun's smile freeze instantly, and then turned into an embarrassing smile.

"Brother Qiu, don't laugh at me. What kind of boss am I? Now I'm honestly writing scripts for ATV every day. I'm definitely not lazy. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Zhong."

After Wen Jun finished speaking, he quickly cast a look of help to Zhong Chuhong.

But in fact, Zhong Chuhong has no intersection with Wen Jun at ATV, and she doesn't appear in dramas. At most, she just greets each other briefly when they meet each other.

But looking at Wen Jun's begging eyes for help, Zhong Chuhong could only say a few good words for him.

"The screenwriter Wen is really hardworking at ATV."

Lin Daoqiu just smiled after hearing Zhong Chuhong's words, and he didn't know whether he believed what Zhong Chuhong said.

At this moment, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing were coming out from the inside. As soon as they saw that Lin Daoqiu had arrived, they immediately stepped forward to say hello to each other.

"By the way, is Mr. Xie here?"

"Come on, he's inside right now, brother Qiu, what can I do with him?"

Wen Jun's question is obviously a bit redundant, because Xie Xian's current artist contract is signed with New Oriental.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu mentioned Xie Xian today was because Xie Xian went to Li Maowen and talked about his work.

Since the filming of "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", Xie Xian has been idle all of a sudden, which made him a little uncomfortable.

After all, when Lin Daoqiu poached him from Shaw Brothers, Xie Xian agreed because he wanted to act in more film and television dramas.

As a result, he was recruited to New Oriental last year and now, he has only filmed "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Bastards". Although his income will not drop sharply, if he does not appear on the screen for too long, it will not be a good thing for him after all.

And Lin Daoqiu had heard about it from Li Maowen before he came, so he planned to arrange something for Xie Xian.
