Chapter 87 Win the Shaw Brothers Cinema 【Subscription】
On January 1th, the new weekend Hurricane Rescue once again scored 8 million box office, accumulating 170 million Hong Kong dollars in eight days. When Lin Zhengying walked on the street, he really felt the feeling of being popular!
Whether it was going out from home to buy breakfast, or on the way to Golden Harvest's studio, there were people everywhere who exclaimed at him, Uncle Ying, and even came to ask for autographs.
Even though he has been in the industry for more than ten years and is in his 30s, he still has a sense of fantasy.
This hot feeling is really...
When he was enjoying the admiration and envy of a group of Hong family acquaintances on the Golden Harvest film set, a figure came hurriedly and waved to Ah Ying, "A Ying, He Sheng is looking for you."
This is Hong Lingbao.
In the voices of a group of Sanmao brothers, Ah Ying also nodded politely to the left and right, and walked away with Hong Yubao. During the walk, Hong Yubao whispered, "I heard the meaning of some words, Zou Sheng and He Sheng still want to work Let's see if we can bring Hurricane Rescue to Hollywood."
"If this can be done, Ah Ying, that would be really amazing."
Lin Zhengying was startled, but felt it was natural.
Zou Sheng’s international vision was born in the early 70s. Back then, he cooperated with Warner Bros. in Hollywood. The trend created by Brother Xiaolong cost 80 dollars, and he slashed more than 2500 million dollars at Amei’s house. box office.
Globally, excluding the cumulative box office of re-screenings over the years, the global revenue of that year was more than 9000 million US dollars.
With Brother Xiaolong, Zou Wenhuai looked up to Hollywood more than once. After Cheng Long became famous, he still cooperated with Warner. Which one is not an ambitious work to enter Hollywood?
Even if it failed, there were still hits such as Cannonball Run 2 and Veyron Detective, and in 1989, a co-produced Ninja Turtles won a global box office of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Zhengying asked curiously, "Director Zhao owns all the copyrights of Hurricane Rescue?"
Hong Lingbao nodded and refused to comment. Zou Sheng and He Sheng had that kind of idea over there, and they must have considered it. It was nothing more than capital injection and cooperation.
In this regard, Zou Wenhuai is really more grandiose than Lei Tycoon, the future Pan Disheng, etc. No matter the fast food truck in 84 or the later dragon brothers and tiger brothers, it is basic practice to spend a lot of money to film in Europa.
"Now if you are asked to direct a follow-up film about hurricane rescue, can you make it?"
Lin Zhengying looked embarrassed, looked at Sanmao a few times, and found that the other party looked at him seriously, Aying smiled bitterly, "I really can't shoot."
Speaking of which, he took a cigarette, "After the new world, more than a few new types of clothing became popular, and many clothing factories and stores made a lot of money, and similar gangster movies were shot."
"I heard that Brother Big Rong followed suit, didn't he?"
What he was talking about was Deng Huanrong, the leader of the music industry with a certain prestige and strength in the film industry and clubs, and Qin Xianglin's sworn younger brother in the Five Lucky Stars.
Many people in later generations know that Chen Huimin is the big brother of the rivers and lakes, one of the 14 piles of talkers, but the strength of the Lianle Deng Weirong Association is not much weaker than that of the 14 piles of Chen Huimin.
A-Lian and Zhou Runfa broke up, and A-Fa's suicide was all due to Deng Hurong. It was he who betrothed his sister and introduced A-Lian to the eldest brother of A-Mei's family. Brother Hongmen?
Deng Haorong was different. His old man was the former head of the Hongmen in Yangcheng. The Lianle club was founded by his old student and later handed over to Dayong.
"But for Hurricane Rescue, let's not talk about the editing method that ordinary editors can't handle. If you want to shoot well with handheld photography, Director Zhao is the only one on Hong Kong Island at present."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhengying is a little lucky.
Hong Jinbao also smiled wryly, "Speaking of which, I've practiced for so long, and I can do it by holding the camera steady for ten minutes, but the things I shoot... I don't have the face to look at it."
The problem of following the trend of Hong Kong Island movies is too big, destroying every theme of children.
However, there is still hope and opportunity to imitate the new world, but want to follow the hurricane rescue?
That's laughing haha.
A while later, Lin Zhengying arrived at Zou Wenhuai's office, and not only saw Zou Sheng and He Sheng, but also a green-haired foreigner. When he came in, the foreigner kept staring at him with slightly shining eyes.
Ah Ying looked unnatural, mainly because his eyes were also very erratic, and he always felt that the other party's hair color was a bit weird.
Zou Wenhuai smiled and got up, "Aying, this is Mr. Ross from Warner Bros. He and I went to the theater to watch your Hurricane Rescue. Mr. Ross spoke highly of you."
Ross shook hands with Lin Zhengying enthusiastically, and said in awkward Cantonese, "Lin, your new film is much better and more exciting than the big nose two years ago."
Lin Zhengying continued to laugh awkwardly, Zou Wenhuai and the others were a little unnatural, and after a polite chat, Ross went straight to the point, "Lin, do you think we will inject capital, Warner, Golden Harvest and the boss of Zhao's to shoot Hurricane 2 together?" , how hopeful is it?"
Lin Zhengying laughed awkwardly, and what he said was polite and enthusiastic, and he didn't know what to ask.
Ah Ying is very grateful to Director Zhao, okay?At present, Zhao Donghuai is in his heart, that is, a good big brother and good boss who is second only to Brother Sanmao.
Under such circumstances, outsiders wanted to share the profits in Director Zhao's hands. Of course, he didn't know what to ask.
Ross looked at Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Sheng smiled, "A Ying, why don't you help us make an appointment with Xiao Zhao?"
"Actually, I can't participate in Taken 2. We can also ask you to be the protagonist to create a new series. You were a retired instructor of the Flying Tigers before. Next time you can be a retired CIA or FBI."
"Most people can't play hand-held photography, but this technology originated in Hollywood, and it is enough to hire the behind-the-scenes from Hollywood."
Lin Zhengying was speechless.
But he knew that it would not be difficult to hire a Das photographer from there.
Director Zhao pioneered the style and genre of integrating handheld photography into action movies, and then as long as he finds more top-notch editors to study fast editing routines, and more martial arts, he can imitate the same style of shooting.
Generally, Hong Kong island film companies can't play it well, but Zou Sheng can definitely play it, and he can give it a try.
The biggest feature of the action genre of handheld photography is that it doesn’t need Cheng Long to work as hard as Cheng Long. If you play well behind the scenes and photography skills, you can also launch action superstars in batches.
Of course, the premise is that good funds, good technology, good scripts, moving fingers, and action stars are combined.
Warner, a Hollywood giant, has the first three, and Golden Harvest has the last two.
He was just glad that ordinary companies couldn't follow suit, and couldn't quickly drown in this subject matter. In the blink of an eye, he met a tycoon who wanted to follow suit?
After being silent for tens of seconds, Lin Zhengying hurriedly said, "Thank you Zou Sheng for your promotion, but I'm afraid I've got a full schedule in the past two years. Not only do I want to shoot Brother Sanmao's Lucky Star series, the Human Ghost series, but I also signed several films with Director Zhao." play."
"But I can send a message to help you make an appointment with Director Zhao."
Being rejected, Zou Wenhuai didn't see any anger or dissatisfaction, but laughed instead.
It was the green-haired Ross who frowned a little, "Lin, we're going to push you to Hollywood?? You didn't understand, did you?"
………………
After a while, Lin Zhengying and Hong Yubao walked out of the big office together. This was agreed before, so call Director Zhao and make an appointment.
While walking, Hong Yubao smiled curiously, "You refused so quickly just now, how willing you are? That's Hollywood."
Lin Zhengying spread her hands, "I'm telling the truth. Whether it's the third part of the Human and Ghost series, or the second part of Fu Xing, or the Hurricane series with Director Zhao, aren't they all pre-determined?"
Hong Yubao laughed and patted A Ying's shoulder, "The third part of Human Ghost should have started filming a long time ago... Now, I don't think that book is very good."
"If you still don't have much strength, you are a good person pretending to be a celestial master and scaring ghosts. You are too weak. After watching your hurricane rescue, so many viewers have already set you as a super boss in their minds."
"It should be like that in Scary People, or stronger than the Taoist masters in Scary People."
"The setting of the last script is abolished. I will find you 300 million, and then ask Zou Sheng if he is willing to pursue funding. When you want to make a film, you can find someone to build a team yourself. You will be the biggest male lead and move your fingers."
Originally, the third part of Human and Ghost, the box office was squeezed by a group of blockbuster blockbusters. After hitting the street, Ah Yingcai and Liu Guanwei made a Mr. Zombie play together. The zombies were all played by Yuan Hua, which will be next year.
As soon as Hurricane Rescue exploded, Hong Lingbao directly rejected the original third human ghost script.
Lao Liu is also a master of zombie films, Mr. Zombie, Zombie Family, Uncle Zombie, Mr. New Zombie, etc. All of them were produced by Lao Liu as a director. He started working with Hong Yubao in the late 70s.
Like he said, Hurricane Rescue was too much!
If you position Lin Zhengying's next play or the next part as a Taoist priest or celestial master who pretends to be a ghost and frightens people without much strength, it is too easy to give the audience a sense of separation.
Even if the Taoist masters in the continuation of people are scary, they will not be too divided.
Lin Zhengying nodded excitedly, "Okay."
The meaning of Director Zhao is to throw Hurricane 2 to him, and let him find the script, act as a finger, choose actors, etc., and when it is done, Zhao Donghuai will be the producer, inject capital, and hold the camera. It's just Teacher Si.
Hong Lingbao continued to walk, and said helplessly as he walked, "Hey, what about the lucky stars? It was originally planned that you would be a villain and attract our five lucky stars to the island country. In the end, A Biao or Aaron can defeat you alone."
"In this current environment, it doesn't allow it, or if we defeated all the masters of the villains, you could easily play, beat me, Aaron, and Abiao to the ground, and we had no power to fight back. "
"Then being attacked by Vase Girl or Luo Han Guo with a single shot? Add some funny style, the stronger you are, the more dramatic you will be when you are attacked and knocked down."
Lin Zhengying, "..."
"Brother Sanmao, you can decide on this kind of thing. I will call Director Zhao and remind him that it is still being screened by Shao Brothers. If Shao Sheng is displeased by rumors, it would be a pity to drop the film directly. "
Hong Lingbao, "..."
He almost forgot about it.
If Director Zhao heard that there was an opportunity to go to Hollywood, he would happily come to talk with Zou Sheng, and while talking about Boss Shao, if he heard about it, he would lose a lot if he directly gave it to the next step.
If so?Zou Sheng will be beaming with joy. At worst, Golden Harvest Cinemas will take over the film and re-screen it. It will be on January 1th. Plan A will be released for 9 days, and the box office will be squeezed to the point of pitifulness.
………………
Radio Channel TVB City.
Director Zhao, who was discussing Liu Dehua's contract with Shao Daheng, received Lin Zhengying's BB machine, found a phone nearby and finished the conversation, then came back with a smile and said, "That Zou Sheng came to me, it seems that he still wants to hit Hollywood .”
Shao Yifu, who was drinking tea, frowned greatly. The most memorable thing in his life was Zou Wenhuai...
"If you say that, you're not afraid that I'll put Hurricane Rescue on hold?"
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Shao Sheng calmed down, the profits involved in Hollywood are too big, and the profits are calculated at tens of millions of dollars. I don't believe you don't want to make money."
Shao Yifu frowned and put the tea cup down, "So you not only want to make money, but also come here to poach my five tigers? Or even rent and buy my theater?"
Zhao Donghuai continued to laugh and said, "Shao Sheng, I think I'm very righteous in what I do. I didn't dig out any of them when I praised Ah Fa and the others. It was Lan Jieying. It was the first time I asked her to interview the heroine. At that time, she hadn't met Wireless has officially signed the contract."
"This has happened several times, and now I am also asking, if Ah Hua is really selected for the new film, I hope to sign all his film contracts and records with my company. As for the TV contract, the rest of the contract period between him and TVB. Make TV, or let you discuss with him."
"Shao Sheng, I have always felt that I am a human being who likes win-win and multiple wins. He is the only one I want. TVB has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of this one."
In 85, Ah Hua was buried for more than a year because of not renewing his contract. He felt that he was sincerely looking for someone to talk about win-win and multi-win issues.
After he grabbed the teacup and took a sip of tea, Shao Yifu said, "Win-win? That's fine, I can rent more than a dozen movie theaters to you, and the annual rent is 5000 million."
Director Zhao looked at Shao Daheng speechlessly, you are too dark.
He knew that after more than a year, Pan Disheng spent 3500 million for renting only four houses, and now he rents more than a dozen houses, 11500 million...the remaining dozen houses are [-] million?
That's not how the accounts are calculated. The value of the four leading theaters is far higher than that of the rest.
The luxurious leading theaters in the downtown area of Tsim Sha Tsui and the theaters near the Kwun Tong Industrial Estate are not in the same dimension.
His various accounts are coming back one after another, coupled with the sale of Hurricane Rescue East Asia and Southeast Asia distribution rights, he will be able to raise more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars in the next month, and selling car glass is the biggest money.
But 5000 million, a year's rent?
In 1983, all the box offices of all theaters on Hong Kong Island had a revenue of more than 5 million yuan, and the theater chains took half of it, pocketing 7000 million yuan.
But it was Golden Harvest and Golden Princess who took the lead, and Shuangnan and Anle Cinemas all relied on Shaolin Temple, Burning the Old Summer Palace and other mainland blockbusters or Hollywood movies to get a part.
Shaw Brothers... Do the dozen or so theaters of Shaw Brothers have a total revenue of 4000 to 1000 million?That's New World contributed more than 84 million! At the beginning of [-], Hurricane Rescue is now in support.
What a new world brings to Shaw Brothers theaters is more than the sum of dozens of Shaw Brothers films.
It's too dark to ask for 5000 million rent a year, and it's not just the lion who opens his mouth.
No wonder in the future the rich second generation like Pan Disheng will only dare to rent four leading theaters, rent and buy or recruit other small theaters to join, share dividends, and form a theater chain.
After taking another sip of tea, Zhao Donghuai said with a smile, "Well, I only need the four leading theaters in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, with a rent of 3500 million a year, one contract a year, and then I have the priority to renew the contract."
"Look, if you open more than a dozen theaters, Shaosheng, you open 3500 million yuan, and I will give you [-] million yuan for renting only four theaters. Isn't it very kind?"
He knew that he only asked for 3500 million now, and he would get more in the end, which would make Boss Shao earn more, but still the same sentence, Zhao Donghuai boasted that he was a kind person, and it was so exaggerated to get money from the waste paper and glass business.
Now I'm still planning to win Liu Dehua's contract, and then go to win new action stars and singers.
Let Boss Shao earn a few million more, it’s nothing, just treat it as a favor, but you have to just say that you will bring Liu Dehua’s contract, and I will buy A Hua according to the liquidated damages above... That’s not good, and now the two parties are also happy to cooperate , there is no need to make things ugly.
It's Shao Yifu's turn to be speechless, you are such a bargaining ghost!
Holding the teacup in his hands for a while, Shao Yifu said, "Four leading theaters are also fine, 5000 million a year."
In the future, he can only split it up for rent, and he also understands that there are too few people who can use tens of millions or hundreds of millions of cash flow to rent this.
There are many rich people on Hong Kong Island, and those who are willing to enter the entertainment industry are...
Regardless of Pan Disheng in the future or Zhao Donghuai now, what matters most is not only whether you can make money renting a theater, but how much you can earn, but after you have your own theater, your influence and prestige in the Hong Kong film industry will become another kind. The person standing on another step.
There have been so many film companies in Hong Kong, why are there only a few film tycoons with theater chains?
As for Pan Disheng's renting of the theater, it was in April 1985, and the deal was made after Shao Daheng's third brother died of illness. On the surface, the third brother of Shaw Brothers Theater is in charge of everything.
Would it not work now so far in advance?It really doesn't have that influence. Shao Daheng's third brother mainly focuses on Nanyang Theater, Xingmatai, etc., and that one likes to delegate power and let the juniors take over.
It is far from the character of Shao Yifu who wants to cover the sky with one hand in Shaw Brothers Films and TVB.
In the Shaw Theater on Hong Kong Island, his third brother rarely intervened.
As early as the early 80s, with the rise of New Arts City, Golden Harvest relied on Cheng Long, Hong Yubao and others to gradually gain supremacy. Blockbuster movies appeared one after another even in the mainland, and Anle Cinemas could also play Hollywood movies to make money.
As far as Shaw Brothers is concerned, it loses money every year, and there are no good films.
The theaters can't sell tickets, so many of the films produced by Shaw Brothers Films are at a loss, not to mention the wages of the big crews from the front stage to the backstage are also long-term losses.
Zhao Donghuai said again, "Shao Sheng, the four leading theaters, I can give up to 4000 million, and I have the priority to renew the contract every year, but if Shao Sheng reorganizes Shaw Films and releases new films, I will definitely support them."
Shao Yifu took a sip of tea, "Speaking of now, I feel that you really want to rent a theater, not just joking."
"Is it really that profitable to sell waste paper?"
When the first New World movie was being filmed, the bad boy in front of him wanted to mortgage the IOUs owed to him by the mainland public paper mills to raise funds.
It's only been a few months?Is it not difficult for you to spend tens of millions?Doesn't it affect your filming plan?That's it, he's still playing newspaper.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and said nothing.
Shao Yifu thought again, and after a few minutes, he said, "Okay, I can rent the four leading theaters to you at a rent of 3500 million yuan a year, but this matter will have to wait at least one or two months. I will do it." Good overall arrangements and proper measures."
"Then Andy Lau's movie contract and record contract will also be given to you."
Zhao Donghuai was surprised, this is not like the black person you asked for 4000 million before, is it?He even took the initiative to raise the price to [-] million a year, can you still hear you offer a discount?
"What about the conditions?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "I want you to help me promote a group similar to Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Hu Huizhong. Of course, it's not right now. Your girl group has just debuted and has just become popular."
"Now let you praise their competitors, you will definitely not do it."
"Wait for a year and a half, and their booming trend will stabilize. You are helping my TVB. At that time, your newspaper resources, movie resources, and my TVB will all complement each other. Didn't you say you like a win-win situation? This condition How about it?"
Zhao Donghuai was a little dumbfounded.
Shao Yifu's vision is really... Let's not talk about the mainland, Hong Kong Island is basically a group of happy girls after the popularity of happy ghosts. Wanwan also started in 84. The city girl group appeared under the influence of the island country, and the flying eagle three appeared in 86. Shu.
The early girl groups, the originators of girl groups, really have no way of operating in the future.
The group in his company is only in its infancy and in the early stage of trial operation. The newspaper photo album is still limited to [-] copies a day, and it is also in the early stages of ordering songs and bombing the street.
But organized by these groups, if you want to become popular, you will be a cash cow, not just one but a group.Shao Daheng's proposal is really a win-win... He really needs the cooperation of the TV station to form a logical loop with the newspaper and the movie.
Shao Daheng is certainly not at a loss.
There are too many beauties in TVB, and it dominates the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, which is year after year, with newcomers constantly!
Who will be Miss Hong Kong in the next few years?
If he really helps TVB to support a new group, the impact on him is the same. If he doesn't help TVB, as long as Shao Yifu has the heart, he can do homework. TVB has a lot of beautiful girls.
In this era, Hong Kong Island and Wanwan singers also emerged in large numbers.
Shao Daheng has no shortage of publicity platforms, if he just finds Ming Pao and Dongfang Daily to cooperate with the media, it may even affect the sales of his new group of Kowloon Daily.
It's not just Shao Yifu, these years are the birthplace of girl groups in island countries, South Korea, and even everywhere.In addition to the women's group, Wanwan soon formed the Little Tigers in 1988.
After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Okay, that's the deal."
Shao Yifu smiled, "With your current influence and me, don't talk about signing a contract, just make a verbal agreement first, you can ask someone to ask for A Hua's contract at any time."
"It's the combination in your hand, and the record release can also be done in Leslie's way."
Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Is it really profitable to make waste paper? Pretty boy, you are the fastest rookie I have ever seen. Bruce Lee was born as a child star, and before joining Golden Harvest, he had already earned his fame through kung fu!"
"I also starred in a TV series at Amei's house."
"Not to mention the big-nosed Aaron and Sanmao, but I advise you, don't easily think about getting involved in Hollywood in the early stages of development. It's not too late to lay a solid foundation."
"Once you stumble in the rapid development, not to mention outside, Zou Wenhuai can swallow you up. Now he helps Sanmao to open a play, isn't it just 300 million, and there is no dividend from other places? "
Zhao Donghuai couldn't help laughing, now that he didn't forget to dig a hole for Zou Sheng during his words? ?
However, the last time I approached Hua Xing to talk about making a record for Guan Jiahui and his daughters, I was rejected... Shao Daheng himself agreed?It saved him a lot of trouble.
………………
When Zhao Donghuai returned to Zhao's Mansion, it was still early for the time he had agreed with Jiahe Zousheng. He originally wanted to call the mainland and ask his subordinates to recruit some theater management talents... He had already placed the advertisement for novel writers in Yangma. out.
The Pengcheng branch office, where the letter was received, sent an editor-in-chief and three editors to visit the house and screen the manuscripts.
Now that the movie theater line is about to be acquired, it certainly cannot use all the managers of the previous Shaw Brothers. It must be recruited by itself. Hong Kong Island is also good at recruiting people, but the mainland is such a large market, with a large population base, and the salary is even cheaper.
It is the kingly way to recruit a few from the mainland and a few from Hong Kong Island.
To Director Zhao's surprise, when he had just arrived at the company and waited for the elevator, he saw Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Hu Huizhong running from a photo studio of the newspaper office on the first floor. Guan Jiahui held his arm even more excitedly, "Brother Huai, New World 2 samples, Director Du is waiting for you to come back and watch."
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "No wonder you are so excited."
Good news keeps coming.
New World 1, which has the core of Infernal Affairs 2, almost started shooting together with Hurricane Rescue. Hurricane was released and scored 8 million box office in 1100 days.
It's normal for the three daughters of Guan Jiahui to be so excited.
Infernal Affairs 1 has three female characters.
Zhou Runfa played Liu Jianming, Wan Ziliang played Chen Yongren, Lu Liangwei was Lin Guoping who shot and killed Lao Wan at the end, and Qin Pei played the most fierce boss Han Chen. This veteran actor has no pressure to play this role.
Huang Zhicheng is Zeng Jiang.
Guan Lijie and Zhou Xingxing played Dilu and Shaqiang under Han Chen, um, Lao Guan played Shaqiang.
Compared with New World 1, the original cast really gathered together.
Wu Zhenyu didn't play the role, Zhao Donghuai intends to push Lao Wu's potential, and let him try to play the leading role in the third part.
The three women also starred in a group, and the three received one hundred thousand. The best acting Hu Huizhong played the female doctor Li Xiner.
Kwan Ka Wai plays May, an ex-girlfriend, and He Qing plays Mary, who discovers her girlfriend!
It's still the same sentence, if you play a combination, you should often appear together.
After laughing, he waved his hand, "Let's go, first watch the samples with Du Sir."
His current company does not have a separate screening room yet. However, since the theater chain rents out once a year, and he will take 3500 million yuan first, he is considering buying these six-storey buildings in turn.
If you don't buy the land of Shao Daheng's current theater line, you can also make money by buying other land. It is much more cost-effective to demolish the old six-story building in a few years and build a new building. The new building can be built with [-] or [-] floors.
Buy layer by layer. After buying, you can build an internal screening hall first, including editing rooms, recording studios, etc., which also need to be renovated and built one by one. You can’t rent outsiders again and again.
In a month, he can collect more than 1 million cash flow, use 1000 million to continue to buy car windshields, and several million to continue to operate the waste paper business, and the rest to buy buildings and houses? ?Not only office buildings can buy more.
In the high-end residential complex of Broadcasting Road where I live, I can also buy a few more sets to serve as dormitories for more and more employees in the future.After 1984, house prices should rise again, not to say that they rose a lot immediately. In 1985, the average price of real estate in Kowloon only increased by several hundred yuan per square meter.
But those who are eager to immigrate to flee Hong Kong Island and sell their properties cheaply are gradually decreasing.
After a while, Zhao Donghuai, his daughters and bodyguards showed up at Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio, and Du Qifeng, Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, Qin Pei and others appeared one after another, beckoning over from afar.
When the crowd converged and walked towards the screening hall, Zhao Donghuai laughed and teased, "Du sir, do you blame me for writing too detailed storyboard scripts, which reduced your performance?"
Du Qifeng shook his head and smirked, "No, of course I don't dare. Your script is so good that I really let me shoot it myself. I'm afraid it will be a mess. To be honest, I became a brother during the shooting process, so I understand a lot of things. Still can't take care of it."
"After filming this movie, I am confident that I can remake the movie. When the time comes..."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "As long as the script is good, I will vote for your play."
He was originally one of the banner directors of Hong Kong Island gang films, and now he has filmed two New World films!
Even if Director Du awakens early, it's normal.
After a while, the voices in the projection hall fell silent, and the melodious bell sounded at the beginning of the chapter.
The landscape of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in Shatian also jumped out. Qin Pei walked out of the country with his back, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and worshiped the Buddha. After the worship, he thanked the master for the sesame oil money. In front of the young people.
Here, the two went directly out of the country, and the make-up was specially cleaned up to make Lu Liang Wei Xian's image different from the normal image, so as to avoid being recognized at a glance, but Ah Fa's image was very clear, and he could be known as an undercover agent from the beginning.
"Five years ago, in Daxing Village, Tuen Mun, the parking stall at the entrance of the Palace Restaurant opened for business."
Along with the lines, Qin Pei's expression became more and more rich, and the picture was walking... Everyone watched.
Until the line "I wish you all the best in the police department, cheers, sirs!"
When the tense soundtrack played, Qin Pei drank tea with Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei and even a few extras. Guan Jiahui, who was holding Director Zhao's arm, burst out laughing. The laughter started from her and spread to more and more people.
On the contrary, Qin Pei was confused by the laughter, and was a little nervous and restless.
Is he acting too funny?
Zhao Donghuai also smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, keep watching, Uncle Pei, don't be nervous, it's just that there is a big difference in the image of the two dramas, and everyone has a sense of contrast. When the New World was released, Ah Fa was called Xu Wenqiang as soon as he appeared on the stage. "
Qin Pei was relieved, and the others also slowly put down their minds and watched the movie again.
The story of the sequel has nothing to do with the previous work at first glance, and it is not uncommon to have a greater sense of fragmentation.
The key is to look at the video quality!
At the end of watching the movie, Wan Ziliang was shot in the head by Lu Liangwei. The desolate and sad soundtrack of "Goodbye, Police" played, and the scene was still flashing back. Lu Liangwei explained that he was also an undercover black policeman, and complained about Han Chen again and again. don't value him...
The audience in the screening hall exclaimed, shocked and shocked!
This kind of shock is almost as powerful as the original hero's true self, when Brother Xiao Ma was shot in the head when he roared!
As Ah Fa was descending in the elevator, the sound of gunshots filled the air. Facing a group of military uniforms outside the elevator, Ah Fa was wearing a handsome slim suit, almost the same style as in the new world. He held his ID and put it on his chest. It's the police!"
In the finale, of course, Liu Jianming (Zhou Runfa), who was promoted and made a fortune, brought a group of heroines and supporting actors to salute in front of the tomb of Chen Yongren (Wan Ziliang).
Salute that moment.
The few people in the screening hall started to applaud crazily from Hu Huizhong.
While applauding, Hu Huizhong couldn't help exclaiming, "Boss, if you don't award two Best Directors at the 84 and 85 Academy Awards, why don't we reorganize a Hong Kong Island Film Awards!"
"Then Ah Fa and Ah Liang took turns to win the Best Actor."
A lot of people agreed, but Du Qifeng hesitated to speak... Fuck, he made the second film, Zhao Donghuai didn't name the director, okay? !
(End of this chapter)
On January 1th, the new weekend Hurricane Rescue once again scored 8 million box office, accumulating 170 million Hong Kong dollars in eight days. When Lin Zhengying walked on the street, he really felt the feeling of being popular!
Whether it was going out from home to buy breakfast, or on the way to Golden Harvest's studio, there were people everywhere who exclaimed at him, Uncle Ying, and even came to ask for autographs.
Even though he has been in the industry for more than ten years and is in his 30s, he still has a sense of fantasy.
This hot feeling is really...
When he was enjoying the admiration and envy of a group of Hong family acquaintances on the Golden Harvest film set, a figure came hurriedly and waved to Ah Ying, "A Ying, He Sheng is looking for you."
This is Hong Lingbao.
In the voices of a group of Sanmao brothers, Ah Ying also nodded politely to the left and right, and walked away with Hong Yubao. During the walk, Hong Yubao whispered, "I heard the meaning of some words, Zou Sheng and He Sheng still want to work Let's see if we can bring Hurricane Rescue to Hollywood."
"If this can be done, Ah Ying, that would be really amazing."
Lin Zhengying was startled, but felt it was natural.
Zou Sheng’s international vision was born in the early 70s. Back then, he cooperated with Warner Bros. in Hollywood. The trend created by Brother Xiaolong cost 80 dollars, and he slashed more than 2500 million dollars at Amei’s house. box office.
Globally, excluding the cumulative box office of re-screenings over the years, the global revenue of that year was more than 9000 million US dollars.
With Brother Xiaolong, Zou Wenhuai looked up to Hollywood more than once. After Cheng Long became famous, he still cooperated with Warner. Which one is not an ambitious work to enter Hollywood?
Even if it failed, there were still hits such as Cannonball Run 2 and Veyron Detective, and in 1989, a co-produced Ninja Turtles won a global box office of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Zhengying asked curiously, "Director Zhao owns all the copyrights of Hurricane Rescue?"
Hong Lingbao nodded and refused to comment. Zou Sheng and He Sheng had that kind of idea over there, and they must have considered it. It was nothing more than capital injection and cooperation.
In this regard, Zou Wenhuai is really more grandiose than Lei Tycoon, the future Pan Disheng, etc. No matter the fast food truck in 84 or the later dragon brothers and tiger brothers, it is basic practice to spend a lot of money to film in Europa.
"Now if you are asked to direct a follow-up film about hurricane rescue, can you make it?"
Lin Zhengying looked embarrassed, looked at Sanmao a few times, and found that the other party looked at him seriously, Aying smiled bitterly, "I really can't shoot."
Speaking of which, he took a cigarette, "After the new world, more than a few new types of clothing became popular, and many clothing factories and stores made a lot of money, and similar gangster movies were shot."
"I heard that Brother Big Rong followed suit, didn't he?"
What he was talking about was Deng Huanrong, the leader of the music industry with a certain prestige and strength in the film industry and clubs, and Qin Xianglin's sworn younger brother in the Five Lucky Stars.
Many people in later generations know that Chen Huimin is the big brother of the rivers and lakes, one of the 14 piles of talkers, but the strength of the Lianle Deng Weirong Association is not much weaker than that of the 14 piles of Chen Huimin.
A-Lian and Zhou Runfa broke up, and A-Fa's suicide was all due to Deng Hurong. It was he who betrothed his sister and introduced A-Lian to the eldest brother of A-Mei's family. Brother Hongmen?
Deng Haorong was different. His old man was the former head of the Hongmen in Yangcheng. The Lianle club was founded by his old student and later handed over to Dayong.
"But for Hurricane Rescue, let's not talk about the editing method that ordinary editors can't handle. If you want to shoot well with handheld photography, Director Zhao is the only one on Hong Kong Island at present."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhengying is a little lucky.
Hong Jinbao also smiled wryly, "Speaking of which, I've practiced for so long, and I can do it by holding the camera steady for ten minutes, but the things I shoot... I don't have the face to look at it."
The problem of following the trend of Hong Kong Island movies is too big, destroying every theme of children.
However, there is still hope and opportunity to imitate the new world, but want to follow the hurricane rescue?
That's laughing haha.
A while later, Lin Zhengying arrived at Zou Wenhuai's office, and not only saw Zou Sheng and He Sheng, but also a green-haired foreigner. When he came in, the foreigner kept staring at him with slightly shining eyes.
Ah Ying looked unnatural, mainly because his eyes were also very erratic, and he always felt that the other party's hair color was a bit weird.
Zou Wenhuai smiled and got up, "Aying, this is Mr. Ross from Warner Bros. He and I went to the theater to watch your Hurricane Rescue. Mr. Ross spoke highly of you."
Ross shook hands with Lin Zhengying enthusiastically, and said in awkward Cantonese, "Lin, your new film is much better and more exciting than the big nose two years ago."
Lin Zhengying continued to laugh awkwardly, Zou Wenhuai and the others were a little unnatural, and after a polite chat, Ross went straight to the point, "Lin, do you think we will inject capital, Warner, Golden Harvest and the boss of Zhao's to shoot Hurricane 2 together?" , how hopeful is it?"
Lin Zhengying laughed awkwardly, and what he said was polite and enthusiastic, and he didn't know what to ask.
Ah Ying is very grateful to Director Zhao, okay?At present, Zhao Donghuai is in his heart, that is, a good big brother and good boss who is second only to Brother Sanmao.
Under such circumstances, outsiders wanted to share the profits in Director Zhao's hands. Of course, he didn't know what to ask.
Ross looked at Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Sheng smiled, "A Ying, why don't you help us make an appointment with Xiao Zhao?"
"Actually, I can't participate in Taken 2. We can also ask you to be the protagonist to create a new series. You were a retired instructor of the Flying Tigers before. Next time you can be a retired CIA or FBI."
"Most people can't play hand-held photography, but this technology originated in Hollywood, and it is enough to hire the behind-the-scenes from Hollywood."
Lin Zhengying was speechless.
But he knew that it would not be difficult to hire a Das photographer from there.
Director Zhao pioneered the style and genre of integrating handheld photography into action movies, and then as long as he finds more top-notch editors to study fast editing routines, and more martial arts, he can imitate the same style of shooting.
Generally, Hong Kong island film companies can't play it well, but Zou Sheng can definitely play it, and he can give it a try.
The biggest feature of the action genre of handheld photography is that it doesn’t need Cheng Long to work as hard as Cheng Long. If you play well behind the scenes and photography skills, you can also launch action superstars in batches.
Of course, the premise is that good funds, good technology, good scripts, moving fingers, and action stars are combined.
Warner, a Hollywood giant, has the first three, and Golden Harvest has the last two.
He was just glad that ordinary companies couldn't follow suit, and couldn't quickly drown in this subject matter. In the blink of an eye, he met a tycoon who wanted to follow suit?
After being silent for tens of seconds, Lin Zhengying hurriedly said, "Thank you Zou Sheng for your promotion, but I'm afraid I've got a full schedule in the past two years. Not only do I want to shoot Brother Sanmao's Lucky Star series, the Human Ghost series, but I also signed several films with Director Zhao." play."
"But I can send a message to help you make an appointment with Director Zhao."
Being rejected, Zou Wenhuai didn't see any anger or dissatisfaction, but laughed instead.
It was the green-haired Ross who frowned a little, "Lin, we're going to push you to Hollywood?? You didn't understand, did you?"
………………
After a while, Lin Zhengying and Hong Yubao walked out of the big office together. This was agreed before, so call Director Zhao and make an appointment.
While walking, Hong Yubao smiled curiously, "You refused so quickly just now, how willing you are? That's Hollywood."
Lin Zhengying spread her hands, "I'm telling the truth. Whether it's the third part of the Human and Ghost series, or the second part of Fu Xing, or the Hurricane series with Director Zhao, aren't they all pre-determined?"
Hong Yubao laughed and patted A Ying's shoulder, "The third part of Human Ghost should have started filming a long time ago... Now, I don't think that book is very good."
"If you still don't have much strength, you are a good person pretending to be a celestial master and scaring ghosts. You are too weak. After watching your hurricane rescue, so many viewers have already set you as a super boss in their minds."
"It should be like that in Scary People, or stronger than the Taoist masters in Scary People."
"The setting of the last script is abolished. I will find you 300 million, and then ask Zou Sheng if he is willing to pursue funding. When you want to make a film, you can find someone to build a team yourself. You will be the biggest male lead and move your fingers."
Originally, the third part of Human and Ghost, the box office was squeezed by a group of blockbuster blockbusters. After hitting the street, Ah Yingcai and Liu Guanwei made a Mr. Zombie play together. The zombies were all played by Yuan Hua, which will be next year.
As soon as Hurricane Rescue exploded, Hong Lingbao directly rejected the original third human ghost script.
Lao Liu is also a master of zombie films, Mr. Zombie, Zombie Family, Uncle Zombie, Mr. New Zombie, etc. All of them were produced by Lao Liu as a director. He started working with Hong Yubao in the late 70s.
Like he said, Hurricane Rescue was too much!
If you position Lin Zhengying's next play or the next part as a Taoist priest or celestial master who pretends to be a ghost and frightens people without much strength, it is too easy to give the audience a sense of separation.
Even if the Taoist masters in the continuation of people are scary, they will not be too divided.
Lin Zhengying nodded excitedly, "Okay."
The meaning of Director Zhao is to throw Hurricane 2 to him, and let him find the script, act as a finger, choose actors, etc., and when it is done, Zhao Donghuai will be the producer, inject capital, and hold the camera. It's just Teacher Si.
Hong Lingbao continued to walk, and said helplessly as he walked, "Hey, what about the lucky stars? It was originally planned that you would be a villain and attract our five lucky stars to the island country. In the end, A Biao or Aaron can defeat you alone."
"In this current environment, it doesn't allow it, or if we defeated all the masters of the villains, you could easily play, beat me, Aaron, and Abiao to the ground, and we had no power to fight back. "
"Then being attacked by Vase Girl or Luo Han Guo with a single shot? Add some funny style, the stronger you are, the more dramatic you will be when you are attacked and knocked down."
Lin Zhengying, "..."
"Brother Sanmao, you can decide on this kind of thing. I will call Director Zhao and remind him that it is still being screened by Shao Brothers. If Shao Sheng is displeased by rumors, it would be a pity to drop the film directly. "
Hong Lingbao, "..."
He almost forgot about it.
If Director Zhao heard that there was an opportunity to go to Hollywood, he would happily come to talk with Zou Sheng, and while talking about Boss Shao, if he heard about it, he would lose a lot if he directly gave it to the next step.
If so?Zou Sheng will be beaming with joy. At worst, Golden Harvest Cinemas will take over the film and re-screen it. It will be on January 1th. Plan A will be released for 9 days, and the box office will be squeezed to the point of pitifulness.
………………
Radio Channel TVB City.
Director Zhao, who was discussing Liu Dehua's contract with Shao Daheng, received Lin Zhengying's BB machine, found a phone nearby and finished the conversation, then came back with a smile and said, "That Zou Sheng came to me, it seems that he still wants to hit Hollywood .”
Shao Yifu, who was drinking tea, frowned greatly. The most memorable thing in his life was Zou Wenhuai...
"If you say that, you're not afraid that I'll put Hurricane Rescue on hold?"
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Shao Sheng calmed down, the profits involved in Hollywood are too big, and the profits are calculated at tens of millions of dollars. I don't believe you don't want to make money."
Shao Yifu frowned and put the tea cup down, "So you not only want to make money, but also come here to poach my five tigers? Or even rent and buy my theater?"
Zhao Donghuai continued to laugh and said, "Shao Sheng, I think I'm very righteous in what I do. I didn't dig out any of them when I praised Ah Fa and the others. It was Lan Jieying. It was the first time I asked her to interview the heroine. At that time, she hadn't met Wireless has officially signed the contract."
"This has happened several times, and now I am also asking, if Ah Hua is really selected for the new film, I hope to sign all his film contracts and records with my company. As for the TV contract, the rest of the contract period between him and TVB. Make TV, or let you discuss with him."
"Shao Sheng, I have always felt that I am a human being who likes win-win and multiple wins. He is the only one I want. TVB has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of this one."
In 85, Ah Hua was buried for more than a year because of not renewing his contract. He felt that he was sincerely looking for someone to talk about win-win and multi-win issues.
After he grabbed the teacup and took a sip of tea, Shao Yifu said, "Win-win? That's fine, I can rent more than a dozen movie theaters to you, and the annual rent is 5000 million."
Director Zhao looked at Shao Daheng speechlessly, you are too dark.
He knew that after more than a year, Pan Disheng spent 3500 million for renting only four houses, and now he rents more than a dozen houses, 11500 million...the remaining dozen houses are [-] million?
That's not how the accounts are calculated. The value of the four leading theaters is far higher than that of the rest.
The luxurious leading theaters in the downtown area of Tsim Sha Tsui and the theaters near the Kwun Tong Industrial Estate are not in the same dimension.
His various accounts are coming back one after another, coupled with the sale of Hurricane Rescue East Asia and Southeast Asia distribution rights, he will be able to raise more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars in the next month, and selling car glass is the biggest money.
But 5000 million, a year's rent?
In 1983, all the box offices of all theaters on Hong Kong Island had a revenue of more than 5 million yuan, and the theater chains took half of it, pocketing 7000 million yuan.
But it was Golden Harvest and Golden Princess who took the lead, and Shuangnan and Anle Cinemas all relied on Shaolin Temple, Burning the Old Summer Palace and other mainland blockbusters or Hollywood movies to get a part.
Shaw Brothers... Do the dozen or so theaters of Shaw Brothers have a total revenue of 4000 to 1000 million?That's New World contributed more than 84 million! At the beginning of [-], Hurricane Rescue is now in support.
What a new world brings to Shaw Brothers theaters is more than the sum of dozens of Shaw Brothers films.
It's too dark to ask for 5000 million rent a year, and it's not just the lion who opens his mouth.
No wonder in the future the rich second generation like Pan Disheng will only dare to rent four leading theaters, rent and buy or recruit other small theaters to join, share dividends, and form a theater chain.
After taking another sip of tea, Zhao Donghuai said with a smile, "Well, I only need the four leading theaters in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, with a rent of 3500 million a year, one contract a year, and then I have the priority to renew the contract."
"Look, if you open more than a dozen theaters, Shaosheng, you open 3500 million yuan, and I will give you [-] million yuan for renting only four theaters. Isn't it very kind?"
He knew that he only asked for 3500 million now, and he would get more in the end, which would make Boss Shao earn more, but still the same sentence, Zhao Donghuai boasted that he was a kind person, and it was so exaggerated to get money from the waste paper and glass business.
Now I'm still planning to win Liu Dehua's contract, and then go to win new action stars and singers.
Let Boss Shao earn a few million more, it’s nothing, just treat it as a favor, but you have to just say that you will bring Liu Dehua’s contract, and I will buy A Hua according to the liquidated damages above... That’s not good, and now the two parties are also happy to cooperate , there is no need to make things ugly.
It's Shao Yifu's turn to be speechless, you are such a bargaining ghost!
Holding the teacup in his hands for a while, Shao Yifu said, "Four leading theaters are also fine, 5000 million a year."
In the future, he can only split it up for rent, and he also understands that there are too few people who can use tens of millions or hundreds of millions of cash flow to rent this.
There are many rich people on Hong Kong Island, and those who are willing to enter the entertainment industry are...
Regardless of Pan Disheng in the future or Zhao Donghuai now, what matters most is not only whether you can make money renting a theater, but how much you can earn, but after you have your own theater, your influence and prestige in the Hong Kong film industry will become another kind. The person standing on another step.
There have been so many film companies in Hong Kong, why are there only a few film tycoons with theater chains?
As for Pan Disheng's renting of the theater, it was in April 1985, and the deal was made after Shao Daheng's third brother died of illness. On the surface, the third brother of Shaw Brothers Theater is in charge of everything.
Would it not work now so far in advance?It really doesn't have that influence. Shao Daheng's third brother mainly focuses on Nanyang Theater, Xingmatai, etc., and that one likes to delegate power and let the juniors take over.
It is far from the character of Shao Yifu who wants to cover the sky with one hand in Shaw Brothers Films and TVB.
In the Shaw Theater on Hong Kong Island, his third brother rarely intervened.
As early as the early 80s, with the rise of New Arts City, Golden Harvest relied on Cheng Long, Hong Yubao and others to gradually gain supremacy. Blockbuster movies appeared one after another even in the mainland, and Anle Cinemas could also play Hollywood movies to make money.
As far as Shaw Brothers is concerned, it loses money every year, and there are no good films.
The theaters can't sell tickets, so many of the films produced by Shaw Brothers Films are at a loss, not to mention the wages of the big crews from the front stage to the backstage are also long-term losses.
Zhao Donghuai said again, "Shao Sheng, the four leading theaters, I can give up to 4000 million, and I have the priority to renew the contract every year, but if Shao Sheng reorganizes Shaw Films and releases new films, I will definitely support them."
Shao Yifu took a sip of tea, "Speaking of now, I feel that you really want to rent a theater, not just joking."
"Is it really that profitable to sell waste paper?"
When the first New World movie was being filmed, the bad boy in front of him wanted to mortgage the IOUs owed to him by the mainland public paper mills to raise funds.
It's only been a few months?Is it not difficult for you to spend tens of millions?Doesn't it affect your filming plan?That's it, he's still playing newspaper.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and said nothing.
Shao Yifu thought again, and after a few minutes, he said, "Okay, I can rent the four leading theaters to you at a rent of 3500 million yuan a year, but this matter will have to wait at least one or two months. I will do it." Good overall arrangements and proper measures."
"Then Andy Lau's movie contract and record contract will also be given to you."
Zhao Donghuai was surprised, this is not like the black person you asked for 4000 million before, is it?He even took the initiative to raise the price to [-] million a year, can you still hear you offer a discount?
"What about the conditions?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "I want you to help me promote a group similar to Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Hu Huizhong. Of course, it's not right now. Your girl group has just debuted and has just become popular."
"Now let you praise their competitors, you will definitely not do it."
"Wait for a year and a half, and their booming trend will stabilize. You are helping my TVB. At that time, your newspaper resources, movie resources, and my TVB will all complement each other. Didn't you say you like a win-win situation? This condition How about it?"
Zhao Donghuai was a little dumbfounded.
Shao Yifu's vision is really... Let's not talk about the mainland, Hong Kong Island is basically a group of happy girls after the popularity of happy ghosts. Wanwan also started in 84. The city girl group appeared under the influence of the island country, and the flying eagle three appeared in 86. Shu.
The early girl groups, the originators of girl groups, really have no way of operating in the future.
The group in his company is only in its infancy and in the early stage of trial operation. The newspaper photo album is still limited to [-] copies a day, and it is also in the early stages of ordering songs and bombing the street.
But organized by these groups, if you want to become popular, you will be a cash cow, not just one but a group.Shao Daheng's proposal is really a win-win... He really needs the cooperation of the TV station to form a logical loop with the newspaper and the movie.
Shao Daheng is certainly not at a loss.
There are too many beauties in TVB, and it dominates the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, which is year after year, with newcomers constantly!
Who will be Miss Hong Kong in the next few years?
If he really helps TVB to support a new group, the impact on him is the same. If he doesn't help TVB, as long as Shao Yifu has the heart, he can do homework. TVB has a lot of beautiful girls.
In this era, Hong Kong Island and Wanwan singers also emerged in large numbers.
Shao Daheng has no shortage of publicity platforms, if he just finds Ming Pao and Dongfang Daily to cooperate with the media, it may even affect the sales of his new group of Kowloon Daily.
It's not just Shao Yifu, these years are the birthplace of girl groups in island countries, South Korea, and even everywhere.In addition to the women's group, Wanwan soon formed the Little Tigers in 1988.
After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Okay, that's the deal."
Shao Yifu smiled, "With your current influence and me, don't talk about signing a contract, just make a verbal agreement first, you can ask someone to ask for A Hua's contract at any time."
"It's the combination in your hand, and the record release can also be done in Leslie's way."
Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Is it really profitable to make waste paper? Pretty boy, you are the fastest rookie I have ever seen. Bruce Lee was born as a child star, and before joining Golden Harvest, he had already earned his fame through kung fu!"
"I also starred in a TV series at Amei's house."
"Not to mention the big-nosed Aaron and Sanmao, but I advise you, don't easily think about getting involved in Hollywood in the early stages of development. It's not too late to lay a solid foundation."
"Once you stumble in the rapid development, not to mention outside, Zou Wenhuai can swallow you up. Now he helps Sanmao to open a play, isn't it just 300 million, and there is no dividend from other places? "
Zhao Donghuai couldn't help laughing, now that he didn't forget to dig a hole for Zou Sheng during his words? ?
However, the last time I approached Hua Xing to talk about making a record for Guan Jiahui and his daughters, I was rejected... Shao Daheng himself agreed?It saved him a lot of trouble.
………………
When Zhao Donghuai returned to Zhao's Mansion, it was still early for the time he had agreed with Jiahe Zousheng. He originally wanted to call the mainland and ask his subordinates to recruit some theater management talents... He had already placed the advertisement for novel writers in Yangma. out.
The Pengcheng branch office, where the letter was received, sent an editor-in-chief and three editors to visit the house and screen the manuscripts.
Now that the movie theater line is about to be acquired, it certainly cannot use all the managers of the previous Shaw Brothers. It must be recruited by itself. Hong Kong Island is also good at recruiting people, but the mainland is such a large market, with a large population base, and the salary is even cheaper.
It is the kingly way to recruit a few from the mainland and a few from Hong Kong Island.
To Director Zhao's surprise, when he had just arrived at the company and waited for the elevator, he saw Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Hu Huizhong running from a photo studio of the newspaper office on the first floor. Guan Jiahui held his arm even more excitedly, "Brother Huai, New World 2 samples, Director Du is waiting for you to come back and watch."
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "No wonder you are so excited."
Good news keeps coming.
New World 1, which has the core of Infernal Affairs 2, almost started shooting together with Hurricane Rescue. Hurricane was released and scored 8 million box office in 1100 days.
It's normal for the three daughters of Guan Jiahui to be so excited.
Infernal Affairs 1 has three female characters.
Zhou Runfa played Liu Jianming, Wan Ziliang played Chen Yongren, Lu Liangwei was Lin Guoping who shot and killed Lao Wan at the end, and Qin Pei played the most fierce boss Han Chen. This veteran actor has no pressure to play this role.
Huang Zhicheng is Zeng Jiang.
Guan Lijie and Zhou Xingxing played Dilu and Shaqiang under Han Chen, um, Lao Guan played Shaqiang.
Compared with New World 1, the original cast really gathered together.
Wu Zhenyu didn't play the role, Zhao Donghuai intends to push Lao Wu's potential, and let him try to play the leading role in the third part.
The three women also starred in a group, and the three received one hundred thousand. The best acting Hu Huizhong played the female doctor Li Xiner.
Kwan Ka Wai plays May, an ex-girlfriend, and He Qing plays Mary, who discovers her girlfriend!
It's still the same sentence, if you play a combination, you should often appear together.
After laughing, he waved his hand, "Let's go, first watch the samples with Du Sir."
His current company does not have a separate screening room yet. However, since the theater chain rents out once a year, and he will take 3500 million yuan first, he is considering buying these six-storey buildings in turn.
If you don't buy the land of Shao Daheng's current theater line, you can also make money by buying other land. It is much more cost-effective to demolish the old six-story building in a few years and build a new building. The new building can be built with [-] or [-] floors.
Buy layer by layer. After buying, you can build an internal screening hall first, including editing rooms, recording studios, etc., which also need to be renovated and built one by one. You can’t rent outsiders again and again.
In a month, he can collect more than 1 million cash flow, use 1000 million to continue to buy car windshields, and several million to continue to operate the waste paper business, and the rest to buy buildings and houses? ?Not only office buildings can buy more.
In the high-end residential complex of Broadcasting Road where I live, I can also buy a few more sets to serve as dormitories for more and more employees in the future.After 1984, house prices should rise again, not to say that they rose a lot immediately. In 1985, the average price of real estate in Kowloon only increased by several hundred yuan per square meter.
But those who are eager to immigrate to flee Hong Kong Island and sell their properties cheaply are gradually decreasing.
After a while, Zhao Donghuai, his daughters and bodyguards showed up at Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio, and Du Qifeng, Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, Qin Pei and others appeared one after another, beckoning over from afar.
When the crowd converged and walked towards the screening hall, Zhao Donghuai laughed and teased, "Du sir, do you blame me for writing too detailed storyboard scripts, which reduced your performance?"
Du Qifeng shook his head and smirked, "No, of course I don't dare. Your script is so good that I really let me shoot it myself. I'm afraid it will be a mess. To be honest, I became a brother during the shooting process, so I understand a lot of things. Still can't take care of it."
"After filming this movie, I am confident that I can remake the movie. When the time comes..."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "As long as the script is good, I will vote for your play."
He was originally one of the banner directors of Hong Kong Island gang films, and now he has filmed two New World films!
Even if Director Du awakens early, it's normal.
After a while, the voices in the projection hall fell silent, and the melodious bell sounded at the beginning of the chapter.
The landscape of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in Shatian also jumped out. Qin Pei walked out of the country with his back, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and worshiped the Buddha. After the worship, he thanked the master for the sesame oil money. In front of the young people.
Here, the two went directly out of the country, and the make-up was specially cleaned up to make Lu Liang Wei Xian's image different from the normal image, so as to avoid being recognized at a glance, but Ah Fa's image was very clear, and he could be known as an undercover agent from the beginning.
"Five years ago, in Daxing Village, Tuen Mun, the parking stall at the entrance of the Palace Restaurant opened for business."
Along with the lines, Qin Pei's expression became more and more rich, and the picture was walking... Everyone watched.
Until the line "I wish you all the best in the police department, cheers, sirs!"
When the tense soundtrack played, Qin Pei drank tea with Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei and even a few extras. Guan Jiahui, who was holding Director Zhao's arm, burst out laughing. The laughter started from her and spread to more and more people.
On the contrary, Qin Pei was confused by the laughter, and was a little nervous and restless.
Is he acting too funny?
Zhao Donghuai also smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, keep watching, Uncle Pei, don't be nervous, it's just that there is a big difference in the image of the two dramas, and everyone has a sense of contrast. When the New World was released, Ah Fa was called Xu Wenqiang as soon as he appeared on the stage. "
Qin Pei was relieved, and the others also slowly put down their minds and watched the movie again.
The story of the sequel has nothing to do with the previous work at first glance, and it is not uncommon to have a greater sense of fragmentation.
The key is to look at the video quality!
At the end of watching the movie, Wan Ziliang was shot in the head by Lu Liangwei. The desolate and sad soundtrack of "Goodbye, Police" played, and the scene was still flashing back. Lu Liangwei explained that he was also an undercover black policeman, and complained about Han Chen again and again. don't value him...
The audience in the screening hall exclaimed, shocked and shocked!
This kind of shock is almost as powerful as the original hero's true self, when Brother Xiao Ma was shot in the head when he roared!
As Ah Fa was descending in the elevator, the sound of gunshots filled the air. Facing a group of military uniforms outside the elevator, Ah Fa was wearing a handsome slim suit, almost the same style as in the new world. He held his ID and put it on his chest. It's the police!"
In the finale, of course, Liu Jianming (Zhou Runfa), who was promoted and made a fortune, brought a group of heroines and supporting actors to salute in front of the tomb of Chen Yongren (Wan Ziliang).
Salute that moment.
The few people in the screening hall started to applaud crazily from Hu Huizhong.
While applauding, Hu Huizhong couldn't help exclaiming, "Boss, if you don't award two Best Directors at the 84 and 85 Academy Awards, why don't we reorganize a Hong Kong Island Film Awards!"
"Then Ah Fa and Ah Liang took turns to win the Best Actor."
A lot of people agreed, but Du Qifeng hesitated to speak... Fuck, he made the second film, Zhao Donghuai didn't name the director, okay? !
