Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 53: Recruiting Yuan Yangan

"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I was rude!" As a lawyer, Yuan Yangan was naturally very good at observing people's words and expressions. He saw through the situation at a glance and quickly stood up to apologize.

“Haha, it’s okay!
The film industry is very important, and it is related to the spread of our culture, but it also requires mutual consent, right?" Zhang Chaoyang said softly, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Master Zhang is right!" Yuan Yangan did not dare to hesitate at all and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood what Zhang Chaoyang meant.

"Don't call me Uncle Zhang. Just give me some respect and call me Mr. Zhang, or you can just call me by my name!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile and a very kind tone.

"Mr. Zhang!" Yuan Yangan called out quickly.

"Director Yuan, how is your Great Wall Pictures doing now?" Zhang Chaoyang looked at Yuan Yangan with a smile on his face, a hint of curiosity and casualness in his eyes, and asked him softly.

"It's OK! We've already shot two films so far!"

"That's not bad. We were just established last year and have already shot two movies. We are currently planning to shoot two more!" Yuan Yangan replied quickly.

“Come and help me!

I have a Pacific Film Company under my name. You come and help me make a movie. It's much better than your Great Wall Film Company!" Zhang Chaoyang said directly.

"Mr. Zhang, this..."

"Director Yuan, you should know the situation of Great Wall Pictures better than I do. After shooting these two movies, do you still have money to continue shooting movies?
It seems like your first two films didn’t make any money?
Can you guarantee that these two movies will make money?" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I..."

“Joining Pacific Films, you will have unprecedented autonomy and creative space to make your own film work.

There are no constraints or restrictions here, only encouragement and support for artistic pursuits.

In this passionate and innovative environment, you can give full play to your imagination, carefully carve out every shot, and strive to make the movie perfect.

You don't have to worry about external interference or pressure, just focus on the stories and emotions you really want to express.

Not only that, I also plan to invest a huge amount of money to build 24 brand new modern cinemas in Hong Kong.

This means that in the future you won’t have to worry about the distribution of the film after it’s finished, let alone the problems of tight release schedules and insufficient screenings.

We will provide sufficient screening resources and a broad display platform to ensure that your hard work can be fully demonstrated.

Joining Pacific Films means choosing a stage where you can realize your dreams.

Here, you can display your talents without any scruples and carefully create unforgettable classics.

I can provide you with the most advanced filming equipment and technical team, and can give you the best support and guarantee.

No matter what kind of innovative techniques or forms of expression you want to try, you can have ample space to play with them." Zhang Chaoyang's voice is full of affection, as if it can penetrate people's hearts.

Pointing his finger into the distance, as if pointing at a vast landscape, he described to Yuan Yangan all the beautiful scenes that happened after he joined Pacific Film Company.

The reason why Zhang Chaoyang did this is because Yuan Yangan is really a talented person.

According to historical developments, this year Yuan Yangan will separate from Zhang Shankun and establish New Great Wall, which is the Great Wall Film Production Company.

The Great Wall Film Studio can be said to be the mainstay of Hong Kong Mandarin films and has a huge impact on the development of Hong Kong films.

If it weren't for the political, economic and other reasons that led to the decline of Mandarin films in Hong Kong, Cantonese films would have taken over the market. Second, because of political reasons, Cantonese became the unofficial main language in Hong Kong in the past. Ordinary people who couldn't speak Cantonese had difficulty getting around in Hong Kong and were looked down upon.

Language directly creates a barrier between Hong Kong and the mainland.

This kind of situation must never happen again in this life.

In the future, Rediffusion called for insisting on broadcasting in Mandarin, developing and expanding Mandarin films, and directly nipping Cantonese films in the bud.

If Run Run Shaw wants to make a movie, he should make a Mandarin movie. If he dares to make a Cantonese movie, he will be stopped from scheduling it.

In short, from now on, Hong Kong can only have Mandarin films, and Cantonese films are absolutely not allowed.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your appreciation!" Yuan Yangan felt Zhang Chaoyang's sincerity and quickly stood up to thank him.

"Director Yuan, you are a cultured person. Although you are a latecomer, you only started working in the film industry in your forties.

However, I sent someone to check on Director Yuan, and found out that you are a talented person.

I agree with some of your thoughts on the movie!

When we make a movie, we cannot simply flatter the audience for the sake of box office, by making ugly faces, exposing the actresses' bodies, etc. to attract and please the audience.

Instead, it aims to attract the audience through easy-to-understand plots, warm and cheerful rhythms, and twists and turns in content.

We need healthy and positive content to guide the audience to face the hardships of life optimistically, so that the audience will not forget history and look forward to a better future. "

"Mr. Zhang, you said it very well!" Yuan Yangan felt as if he had met a close friend, and excitedly grasped Zhang Chaoyang's hand.

"Haha, Director Yuan, how about you come over and help me?" Zhang Chaoyang chuckled.

"Mr. Zhang thinks highly of me, so I'm going to give these 100-plus pounds to Mr. Zhang!"

"Haha, I don't want your 100-plus pounds!
Lao Zhao, I just found someone for you, let's chat!" Zhang Chaoyang chuckled and said to Zhao Dong who had just arrived.

"Sir, Director Yuan and I are old acquaintances. I have communicated with Director Yuan a lot during this period, and I have long wanted to recruit Director Yuan.

I didn't expect you to help me fulfill my wish!" Zhao Donglai came over, nodded and greeted Zhang Chaoyang, then shook hands with Yuan Yangan and said with a smile.

“Since you know each other, it’s good that you can cooperate well in the future.

Director Yuan's opinions on how to make the film are the main focus, and you just need to do the logistics work for him!"

"Sir, I have already found several directors..." Zhao Donglai said after a moment of hesitation.

“This is easy to do. In the future, we can set up several production departments under Pacific Film Company.

Director Yuan serves as the head of the Production Department 1, and is in charge of all matters of the Production Department.

You can arrange the other two and three production departments.

I know that directors all have their own ideas. What they hate most is laymen leading professionals, and they hate others giving orders at random.

We should give them enough space so that they can freely use their imagination and create." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile, waving his hand.
