The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 51 The Rise of Yongsheng Movies and TVB
In the spring of 1966, Zhang Jin married Zhou Anni and went to Europe for their honeymoon.

In June of the same year, Zhou Yecheng quietly established the Jiahao Shipping Company in Xiangjiang, bought and refurbished the cargo ships eliminated by the family's European shipping company at a low price, and began to operate the freight business from Xiangjiang to East and Southeast Asian countries.And signed a ship preservation contract with Heyi Baoquan Company, and handed over the safety of ship transportation to Heyi Baoquan Company.

Heyi Security Company was founded by Wang Weimin and Wu Shihao. The company's security personnel were jointly dispatched by He Yongyi and Kowloon Walled City, and the instructors invited by Chengzhai Gambler and Zhu Youzai taught fighting and shooting at the same time.

In July of the same year, the two places of Kowloon and New Territories completed a complete integration. So far, the prefixes of the rivers and lakes, large and small, including Hong Kong Island, all belonged to the alliance of Zhang Jin and Lei Luo. A situation of rapid development.

Two years later, with the support of Zhang Jin's later scripts and strong financial support, Yongsheng Film Company successively produced films that were well received by the market audience. The average domestic box office of each film was between one million and two million.

Among them, he served as the producer, directed by Wei Hongsheng, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Xia Meng, Gao Yuan, and Chen Sisi, successfully detonated the box office of local movies and set a box office record of up to 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

The film was a great success in China, and also set off a movie-watching frenzy in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Japan, sweeping a total box office of more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

And in the 17th Golden Horse Awards of the same year, he won the titles of "Dragon Inn", "Love in the Beacon", "Lonely [-] Years Old" and other films, winning top-notch feature films, best director, best screenwriter, and best actor , Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Color Photography, Best Editing, Best Color Art Design, Best Music, Best Sound Recording, Best Special Award for Filming Technology and other thirteen awards , almost completed all the Golden Horse Awards.

The news spread back to Xiangjiang, and the public opinion became turbulent again. The newspapers reported it one after another, and called it the light of Xiangjiang.

Zhang Jin asked his Xiangjiang Times to do a special interview, which was published in several serials, exclusively disclosing the front and back of the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and various detailed descriptions, which immediately attracted many fans to buy and watch. Sales skyrocketed.

After this wave of operations, the sales volume of the Hong Kong Times increased from [-] to [-]. After all, although the current affairs news of the Hong Kong Times is not interesting, the two news sections of Citizen Voice and Entertainment Exchange are very down-to-earth and attractive. force.

In addition to the hit film "A Chinese Ghost Story", the sequels of "Big Hero" "True Hero", "A Hero No Regrets" and "Tangshan Big Brother" cast by Yongsheng Films have achieved a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.

That's right, "Tangshan Big Brother" was written by Zhang Jin, and it copied Bruce Lee's first work after returning to Hong Kong a few years later.

Although Luo Hao's kung fu may not be as strong as Bruce Lee's, but under the advanced editing methods of later generations, the fighting effect on the movie screen is not lost to the other party at all.

Playing leading roles and supporting roles in several hit movies one after another, Luo Hao's career as a movie star went smoothly, and he soon became a well-known martial arts movie star in Hong Kong. He can be recognized by movie fans even if he wears sunglasses while walking on the street.

At the beginning, he quite enjoyed this kind of star treatment, and often greeted fans, shook hands, signed autographs and even took photos with fans.But after a long time, he felt troubled.

In his words - "I just wanted to get out of the car and go to the bathroom, but I was surrounded by a group of fans for an hour, and almost got pulled in my crotch."

After this horrific experience, he's been much more low-key.

Besides Luo Hao, Bai Yue'e also got a lot of credit.

As the signed singer of Yongsheng Films, and Da Laojia Baifanyu as her father, she was taken care of by Zhang Jin. Not only did she sing the theme song of the movie, but she also copied a lot of songs for her, such as What are the classic Cantonese female voice songs such as "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques", "Walking on the Road of Life", "Promise" and so on.

It's not that Zhang Jin specially copied classic songs, the key is that he has never heard of non-classic Cantonese songs.

While promoting Luo Hao and Bai Yue'e, Zhang Jin did not forget his wife Zhou Anni.

Although at the beginning it was to gain the influence of Zhou's family and Zhou Yecheng's network, after some contact, he found that this innocent girl who was not as beautiful as Bai Yue'e had a special temperament, and she could give people a quiet, leisurely and comfortable feeling when getting along.

Zhang Jin, who often wanders in the midst of intrigue, likes to have such a company in his life who can completely relax him.

For Zhou Anni, Zhang Jin gave unconditional support. After marriage, he insisted on sending a piece of music to his wife every month, and also spent money to hold a concert for two people every two months.Relying on the super high quality of the pieces, as well as the two people's superb playing skills and tacit cooperation, within half a year they became famous in the upper class circles of Xiangjiang.

It is also because all the pieces played are gentle and lyrical tunes, the British call it a "Dear Annie" concert.

Relying on his success in movies and concerts, in just two years, Zhang Jin successfully broke into the high society and developed some personal connections of his own. Many dignitaries and family members in the British Hong Kong government have a good impression of him.

He also created his identity background as a Chinese who lived in Europe and the United States with his parents when he was a teenager, and returned to his hometown of Xiangjiang after a family accident.As for things like stowaways and the Kowloon Walled City, they were completely buried by him.

Wan Chai, an ordinary restaurant box.

Zhang Jin looked at Run Run Shaw, who was in his early sixties, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shao, I'm glad you took time out of your busy schedule to meet me. I've been dating you for half a year and finally found the opportunity."

Run Run Shaw waved his hand, smiled and said kindly: "It sounds too much to call it that way, you are considered a junior in the film industry, why don't you call me Uncle Six?"

Among the eight brothers and sisters of the Shao family, he is the sixth. He was called Shao Lao Liu in Shanghai, and he was honored as the sixth uncle after he came to Hong Kong.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and call you Sixth Uncle."

"Hehe, Young Master Jin, do you have anything to discuss with me? If it's about buying shares in TVB, you can save some effort. We have already discussed it at the founder's shareholder meeting, and we don't accept other partners for the time being." Run Run Shaw He said while drinking tea.

Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. officially opened at the end of 1967. At that time, Zhang Jin planned to join in, but unfortunately he failed.Then half a year ago when he heard that Shaw Brothers had financial difficulties, he planned to invest in TVB, but was rejected.

Investing in TVB is part of his plan to be the uncrowned king. The newspaper has the Xiangjiang Times as its mouthpiece, and the radio station is already in contact. The only new industry he can't get involved in is the TV station.

He had approached Lei Luo, Bai Fanyu, and the father-in-law Zhou Yecheng, but none of the three could help him, so he had no choice but to find the right owner himself to talk to.Since then, I have tried to meet Run Run Shaw and other founders many times without success, and I have not been able to meet until today.
