Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 130 Cooperation
On the eve of the Spring Festival.

In the Jiahe headquarters, the employees have all left for the holidays, but the conference room is brightly lit.

Chenglong, Hong Jinbao, Zhang Yang.

Golden Harvest is famous for its action movies on Hong Kong Island, and now within Golden Harvest, the people who can best carry the three banners of action movies are sitting on the left and right sides of the conference table. Chow Wenhuai is sitting at the head of the table, and He Guanchang is sitting Beside Cheng Long, his face was as gloomy as water.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, after a while, Hong Jinbao coughed lightly and took the lead to break the deadlock.

"Mr. Zou, Mr. He, we probably all know the matter. What do you two mean?"

He Guanshang and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other.

In the end, it was He Guanchang who spoke first.

But he did not get directly to the topic. Instead, he looked at Chenglong beside him and said, "Aaron, how long will it take for your new film to be finished?"

"It's hard to say, Mr. He, as you know, I want to try something new for this film, so here I am..."

When Cheng Long hesitated, He Guanzhang raised his hand, indicating that Cheng Long didn't need to say any more.

Chenglong's film production efficiency has never been high, and Jiahe's senior management has always been aware of this.

Fortunately, there have never been any mistakes in terms of box office appeal or film quality. Even "The Dragon", which was considered a box office failure, only caused Golden Harvest a small loss of 200 million in local box office results. , and in overseas ticket warehouses, just the word "city dragon" can bring a steady stream of income to Jiahe.

Coupled with the relationship between He Guanshang and Cheng Long, Cheng Long, who is regarded as a flag within Jiahe, has a large degree of freedom. In terms of the filming time of the film, Jiahe will naturally give him full freedom. tolerant.

Until Chenglong couldn't stretch out his hand, He Guanchang's eyes fell on Hong Jinbao.

"I heard you say last time that you have a plan for the Five Lucky Stars. How are the preparations going?"

"Now the script still needs to be polished, and the selection of Lucky Star has not been completely finalized. According to the most optimistic estimate at the moment, it will be released in June at most..."

As the internal marshal of Jiahe, Hong Jinbao has an extremely complete shooting plan compared to Cheng Long.

But precisely because his planning and design were so complete, it was obviously impossible for him to come into battle at the last moment.

After listening to what the two of them said, He Guanchang sighed helplessly, and then silently shook his head at Zou Wenhuai.

His meaning is very obvious. The two people who are close to me obviously do not have the potential to be a fire brigade. As for the one sitting opposite, I don’t have a good relationship with him. It’s better for you, Brother Zou, to do it yourself. .

Zou Wenhuai gave a bitter laugh, turned his head, looked at the seat with his back, spoke calmly and calmly, and spoke softly.

"Yang Zai, after the Spring Festival is over, are you interested in making a new movie?"

"I?"

Zhang Yang pointed to his nose, then shrugged and chuckled: "Mr. Zou, have you forgotten? In December last year, you personally told me that you would have enough time to ask me to submit a new script in March this year. Now, It’s only mid-February, and all my employees are on holiday for the Chinese New Year. Even if I write a script on the spot and take it back for filming, it will still be too late.”

The three of them each had their own reasons. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had no choice but to look sad again.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhang Yang spoke slowly.

"But I think the two bosses don't need to be too anxious."

As soon as the words came out, not only Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang cast curious glances at Zhang Yang, but also Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were curious about Zhang Yang's plans.

Facing the curious eyes of everyone, Zhang Yang spoke slowly. "In "Best Partner", New Art City integrated all their efforts, and even included Xu Guanjie, to achieve such a good result. However, New Art City put all their efforts into it. We, Jiahe, haven't done it yet. Are you going to do your best?"

We are Jiahe.

These four words sound pleasant to the ear.

The corners of He Guanshang's lips raised slightly, while Zou Wenhuai pushed up his glasses and continued: "What are your plans?"

"It's definitely too late to rush to make the film now. The Spring Festival schedule of 83 has been given up. However, I think that during the Spring Festival schedule of 84, we can try to compete with the people of Xinyi City with all our strength."

Having said this, Zhang Yang folded his hands and placed them on his chin, turning his head to look at Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long in front of him.

"I wonder if you two are interested in making a film with me?"

Filming with Zhang Yang?
Hong Jinbao had an indifferent attitude towards this. Anyway, he and Zhang Yang had already cooperated once before in "Beware of Little Hands", but Cheng Long seemed to be quite hesitant at this time.

Cheng Long nodded silently. Although He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai were very moved, they couldn't force a match, so they could only remain silent, looking at Cheng Long quietly, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Yang was not surprised by Cheng Long's silence.

After all, he attaches great importance to his image on the screen. This is an unwritten secret in the Hong Kong film industry. This is what Hollywood left Cheng Long after the failure of the filming of "The Killer" and "Cannonball Run". Because of his psychological shadow, Zhang Yang took the initiative to make concessions on this matter.

"When the time comes, I will write the script for this film, and Brother Hong will direct it. Brother Chenglong will do the action design. The three of us will control the overall process. In terms of the quality of the film, I think there will definitely be no problems. ,What do you think?"

Script, director, director.

The three of them each performed their own duties and had their own weight. This arrangement immediately made Chenglong feel at ease.

After all, although Cheng Long could not trust him, he was obviously relieved that Hong Jinbao was the director.

With Hong Jinbao as the director and himself responsible for the martial arts movements, even if the script arranged by Zhang Yang is not satisfactory, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao can maintain Cheng Long's screen image in the film performance. This can be regarded as a blessing to Cheng Long. I took a reassurance.

"I'm OK."

Finally, Cheng Long nodded, and Hong Jinbao also agreed. In front of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, the matter was officially finalized. The depressing atmosphere in the room was completely dissipated, and the meeting ended.

After walking out of the Jiahe headquarters building, Zhang Yang got into the car, put his hands on the steering wheel, and exhaled.

In terms of profit alone, cooperating with Hong Jinbao and Cheng Lung to make a film is definitely not as good as Zhang Yang's solo effort.

But even so, Zhang Yang didn't want to miss this opportunity.

After all, those were Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao!

It is the dream of many actors to be able to make a movie with the two of them in person. Zhang Yang naturally cannot resist this temptation. Therefore, whether this Spring Festival film makes money or not is secondary. Being able to appear with Cheng Long Hong Jinbao in On the same big screen, it actually makes Zhang Yang more confident.

After all, this kind of opportunity will never happen again.

By 84, Pan Disheng's Debao Pictures was about to officially start operations.

This also means that I have left Jiahe and entered the countdown...
