1979 Golden Age

Maybe the expression is not clear, please explain again:

If the copy sales are between 99 and 120, China Film will buy it for the lowest price of 900,000 yuan and the highest price of 1.08 million yuan. Those outside this range, no matter high or low, will be purchased by China Film at a fixed price of 990,000.

For example, this film sold 200 copies, and China Film only spent 990,000, making a profit.

But the other film only sold 5 copies, and China Film was able to acquire it for 990,000 yuan.

The original intention was to use more subsidies and less subsidies in order to achieve a balance, but domestically produced films are not strong enough, and most of them cannot sell copies, so China Film can only suffer losses.

It is said that there are four major classes in Hong Kong, namely the Chengjia class, the Hong family class, the Liu family class and the Yuan family class.

The founder of Yuan Jia Ban is Yuan Xiaotian, a native of Beijing who studied Peking Opera and came to Hong Kong in 1937.

Yuan Heping was the second of seven children. He had been thin and in poor health since he was a child, and was not good at academics. However, he was diligent in using his brain and had particularly strong theoretical knowledge. For example, the Eight Drunken Immortals in "Drunken Master" were compiled by him after reading several boxing books.

All the esoteric stories about the Eight Immortals and the Eight Immortals in later generations are actually derived from this movie, and it belongs to Tiangang.

In short, Yuan Heping is Wang Yuyan's type.

He started doing martial arts in 1970 and became famous with "Snake" and "Drunken Master". He won the favor of Golden Harvest and was able to open a satellite company called "Peace Pictures".

At this moment, the brothers in Yuan's class were sitting in a narrow office and were very excited.

"There is Sammo Hung in the Hung family class, Jackie Chan in the starting family class, and Liu Jialiang in the Liu family class. They are all big stars. You see, each of us looks strange and strange, and we have even opened a company!"

"You can make a lot of money by opening a company and become prosperous!"

"Don't be too happy too early. When you start a company, you have to make movies. We are a small business. If one movie fails, we will close down."

"Speaking of which, what exactly are we filming?"

"Think about it, starting a business must get off to a good start, otherwise if you open your business today, you will lose your job tomorrow!"

Everyone is talking about it. They have advantages. They are very proficient in martial arts instruction. They also have disadvantages. There are no stars who can appear on the stage. They are all behind the scenes. As the eldest brother, Yuan Heping didn't speak, and just watched the brothers discuss with a smile.

Start a business! It is the most fulfilling thing for a man.

While they were discussing, someone came to report: "The people from the Great Wall are here!"

brush!

The atmosphere dropped instantly. Yuan Heping also panicked and said: "Please come quickly!"

Not long after, a man came in. Yuan Heping invited him into the inner room and said with a little helplessness: "Sir, I have already expressed my intention, what are you doing here again?"

"Let's talk business, don't be nervous."

nonsense!

Can I not be nervous?

You guys are engaging in assassinations and planting bombs, that's really deadly!

Does Jin Yong have a high status in Hong Kong?

At that time, I was so frightened that I took my whole family to Singapore.

Have you ever seen this in the entertainment industry? Those so-called ruthless and fierce people are just scum in comparison. Therefore, these Hong Kong stars neither dare to offend Taiwan nor the left.

Moreover, many Hong Kong celebrities came from leftist backgrounds in their early years and would go and help under pseudonyms.

The same was true for Yuan Heping. "Tai Chi" invited him to be a martial artist, but he didn't dare to refuse bluntly, so he raised the price three times, hoping to scare the other party away, but he didn't know that he would come again today.

"I'm here for two things. You previously offered HK$100,000, right?"

"right!"

"I agreed over there!"

puff!

Yuan Heping's eyes were so big that he was nicknamed Big Eyes. At this moment, they looked more like goldfish eyes, almost bulging out. "Agree?"

"Yes, you won't deny the price you offered, right?"

"I……"

Yuan Heping looked confused. He fully understood what it means to ride a tiger and find it hard to make a move. If someone accepts the price he offered, then he has to go. Otherwise, how can he survive in the future? He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you are joking, of course I admit it."

"That's good! The second thing is that we are preparing a project and would like to invite you to do martial arts. But we have never filmed this type of film. We just think it is interesting. I have brought some information and I want you to see how you can do it. Can not do?"

The man took out the manuscript paper and handed it over.

""Qi Men Dun Jia"?"

Yuan Heping took it, his eyes lit up when he saw the name, and then he saw a few pictures. The first one was the man in the jar, weird, novel, scary, but also magically cute.

Looking at the text description again, my heart skipped a beat.

I quickly turned to the second and third pages. There were murals with flowing water, roasted chickens that could fly, and the mysterious art of folding paper into a knife...

Hong Kong Kung Fu movies are roughly divided into three stages:

During the Shaw Brothers stage, it was about taking advantage of the situation, doing hard work and hard work, and the movements were very slow, just like doing radio gymnastics.

In the transitional stage, the most obvious change is that the action speed has accelerated and the martial arts design has become more and more fancy.

During Tsui Hark's stage, he began to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, to fly freely and freely, and to express martial arts freely.

From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, it was a transitional stage. Jackie Chan had already found his own path, and Sammo Hung was also able to handle the box office. During this period, another branch genre emerged: the fantasy kung fu film!

Combining folklore such as ghosts, zombies, and Taoist priests with kung fu, the first work to be released at the end of this year is "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

Not yet!

Yuan Heping has a particularly good eye for selecting films, and he is keenly aware of the value of the thing in his hand. The first point is that it is novel. If the audience has not seen it before, the chance of a box office hit is very high.

"How about it? Can this style be designed?"

"Can!"

Yuan Heping paused, and couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, can your company make this type of movie?"

"We have already published it in the newspaper. The mainland is reforming and opening up, and the mind is liberated. We are the vanguard in making movies. The company's market conditions were not good in the past few years, but now it is trying to regain its glory.

Of course, I dare not guarantee it. You know about movies.

It may be implemented, or it may fail. If it is confirmed to be filmed, please help. I know your concerns. You can use a pseudonym. The martial arts instructor is a behind-the-scenes staff and there are not so many restrictions."

Don't let it fail!

Yuan Heping was anxious. What a good subject, and it is very suitable for the Yuan family. If it is used as a start-up work, it will definitely be a success.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I will notify you to go north when "Tai Chi" in Beijing starts shooting."

The man left.

Leaving a grass behind, scratching Yuan Heping's heart. He didn't think the leftists could make such a movie. It was feudal superstition. It had basically never been made before. If it was not made, it would be a waste.

He thought about it and discussed it with his brothers.

A few days later.

The man sent another message, saying that "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" was not finally approved and was rejected by the company.

Yuan Heping could not wait any longer, and secretly met with the other party, saying: "Sir, since your company does not want to shoot, can you transfer it to me? I will buy it at the market price, and I will definitely remember this favor... Oh, and "Tai Chi", I am willing to go north at a friendly price."

...

"The Thousand Faces of Dunjia", released in 1982, directed by Yuan Heping, produced by: Peace Pictures!

This film is very exciting, and later generations also made a remake version, Yuan Heping and Tsui Hark teamed up, starring Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni, Wu Bai, a big bad movie.

When the news came back, Chen Qi was very happy.

This is not called plagiarism, this is called taking your things and doing my business.

If he wants to let domestic films go overseas, he must deal with Hong Kong. Among these Hong Kong guys, 1% have a real stance, such as Xu Xiaoming, Wang Mingquan and others, which are towards the mainland.

There is also a weirdo named Feng Cuifan, whose representative work is the "Five Lucky Stars" series.

He hates both the mainland and Hong Kong. He calls himself a "Guangdong Province of the Republic of China". When he later learned that Taiwan was going to demolish the tomb of the bald man, he actually took a large group of people to guard the tomb and fight with the other side.

Don't worry about whether he is mentally ill or not, this is also called having a stance.

The remaining 99% have no stance, only the market.

Chen Qi is contacting Hong Kong thousands of miles away. Xu Xiaoming, Wang Mingquan, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Liang Xiaolong and other "bandit-attached film people" must be pulled over, and at the same time, some less annoying ones, such as Yuan Heping, will naturally be useful in the future.
