Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 111 A Yu
"Mr. Zhang, where should we go next?"

"Send me to Jiahe first. I'll check on the progress of the filming. Ayu, there's a new car. Drive carefully."

"Know it."

Looking at Zhang Manyu, who was smiling playfully, holding the steering wheel and full of confidence, Zhang Yang, the co-pilot, silently fastened his seat belt.

Speaking of which, the reason why we were able to recruit the future Miss Hong Kong runner-up as an assistant has something to do with Simon Yam.

Ever since he had the idea of ​​hiring an assistant, Zhang Yang asked people from Yingyang Pictures to help him find someone.

It just so happened that Zhang Manyu also returned to Hong Kong from England for vacation in 82. She was spotted by Simon Yam's modeling company and signed a contract to become a part-time model for the company.

Because of Ren Dahua, the modeling company has recently been working closely with Zhang Yang's Yingyang Pictures. As soon as the news that Yingyang Pictures was recruiting assistants for Zhang Yang was sent out, the modeling company recommended a group of candidates.

Obviously, from their point of view, since Simon Yam in the company and people from Yingyang Pictures can film movies, if they send an assistant to the other party's boss, they will not have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. How many?
As long as they grasp this resource, their company's appeal to model artists will be greatly enhanced in the future.

After Yingyang's people received the list from the model company, they immediately handed it over to Zhang Yang.

After Zhang Yang sifted around, he saw Zhang Manyu among them at a glance.

This is a future movie queen level figure.

If you have a chance to get it, why miss it?

Without hesitation, Zhang Yang made the decision immediately.

Although the model company repeatedly reminded that Zhang Manyu had not completed her studies in England and would not be in Hong Kong for long. Even if she served as Zhang Yang's assistant, she would probably not last long, but Zhang Yang still chose her without hesitation.

Are you kidding me?
How about building a good relationship now and inviting a Miss Hong Kong runner-up back in the future? Who knows how much it will cost!

Rather than miss this time and spend a lot of money to hire someone later, it is better to let her be tied to death on his boat now!
"Buzz!"

The bright red Porsche shuttles on the road.

Zhang Manyu, who was 18 years old at the time, was at a lively age. Although her family was relatively wealthy, she obviously didn't have many opportunities to touch a sports car, especially a new sports car like the 944, which was just launched in 82.

Her pretty face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and her eyes were shining.

Zhang Yang, who was in the passenger seat, had a wry smile on his face.

To be honest, for this potential future movie queen, even if the Ferrari was hit and scrapped by her, Zhang Yang wouldn't feel bad at all. But the problem is... he is still in the car now!

Auntie, please calm down a little.

Zhang Yang tightened his seat belt and prayed silently in his heart.

……

A little over half an hour later, the Porsche finally stopped safely outside Jiahe headquarters.

Zhang Manyu let go of the steering wheel without saying anything, turned to Zhang Yang and said, "How about it, boss, my driving skills are not bad!"

"Very good, very good. It will be better if you drive slower next time."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and unbuckled his seat belt, taking a long breath of relief.

"Huh? It's rare to drive such a good car. It would be a waste if you don't drive faster."

Zhang Manyu pouted and reluctantly got out of the car with Zhang Yang.

After getting out of the car, we walked all the way towards the studio.

Halfway through, Zhang Manyu, who had just focused on the Porsche, was suddenly attracted by the novel scene in front of him.

Studio No. [-] is the remaining set from when Sammo Hung was filming "The Scary Man". Although the entire film has been completed and has entered the post-editing phase, the empty set at this moment makes the film even more "ghostly". Get intense.

"Ayu, stop looking, our studio is on the other side." "Oh."

Amidst Zhang Yang's greeting, Zhang Manyu came back to his senses, took two hurried steps and followed Zhang Yang.

"Boss, what was being filmed on that set just now?"

“It’s Sammo Hung’s The Scary Man.”

"Hong Jin Bao! Wow, I know him! I have seen his film "Ghost Fighter". That movie was so interesting!"

"Really? If you like him, I'll ask him for an autograph later."

"Really, boss! That's great, thank you!" Zhang Manyu's eyes lit up and she hugged Zhang Yang excitedly.

The youthful vitality of the 18-year-old girl made Zhang Yang dizzy.

"Okay, be quiet, we are about to arrive at our set."

Zhang Manyu smiled apologetically as Zhang Yang drank lightly, then put her finger on her lips, took the initiative to make a gesture of silence, and slowly followed Zhang Yang towards the set.

"The lighting team, change the position of the light source and shoot this again!"

There was still some distance from the studio, but Chen Jiashang's energetic shouts could already be heard from afar.

With the development of many films, this "assistant director" who did not dare to speak loudly in "Fist of Heroes" has now grown into a qualified director and is becoming more and more comfortable on the set.

Zhang Yang glanced at the scene, and what he was filming should be a scene where Ren Dahua and other police officers were discussing sending an informant to undercover Wang Bao.

Among them, Ren Dahua's performance was completely at ease, which not only surprised Chen Jiashang, but also slightly surprised Zhang Yang.

Looking back carefully, although Simon Yam has participated in many bad movies, his acting skills never seem to disappoint.

Is this talent?

Zhang Yang touched his chin, feeling secretly envious.

After the filming of this scene was completed and the crew started busy changing the scenery, Zhang Yang approached Chen Jiashang.

"How's it going? How long will it take for the film to be finished?"

"When Lu Huiguang comes back and shoot some more scenes, it should be almost done. If nothing else happens, it will be completed around the [-]th."

tenth……

Does this mean there is less than a month and a half left for post-editing?

"The task this time is a bit heavy. I will pay you a bonus later."

Since the post-production editing had to rely on this director, Zhang Yang had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder and give him a thumbs up.

Fortunately, people these days are relatively "simple", and they naturally eat the pie with a lot of flavour.

Chen Jiashang nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I promise I won't let you down."

After walking around the set and confirming that the filming was going on normally, Zhang Yang didn't want to waste the crew's time anymore and was ready to leave.

But when he turned around, he saw that Zhang Manyu, who was following him, suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Yang was startled, looked around twice, and then realized that this little girl had actually ran to Ren Dahua's side, saying something with a proud face. When Zhang Yang came closer with a dark face, he could still hear her gushing Bragging.

"Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to make a movie. The boss will definitely invite me to make a movie later!"
