Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

One movie a month, or even one movie every half a month is not unusual in Hong Kong. What's more important is that the quality of the movies shot in such a short period of time is not low, which shows how capable these directors and actors are.

"The King of Comedy" was directed by Stephen Chow and had sufficient funds, so there weren't that many messy things. So Stephen Chow worked hard on it, but it was almost finished after just over three months of filming.

Everyone made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Stephen Chow's phone rang, and he called the director and actors from another crew to gather together.

It turns out that in addition to "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow is also filming "The King of Kings 2000". That movie is progressing faster than his, and it has now begun to enter post-production editing in preparation for publicity and release.

Stephen Chow also added Yang Dongxu and Cecilia Cheung, and the director of the other crew was Wang Jing, so he called on the other lead actor Nick Cheung, the heroine Lin Xilei, and Lee Shau Kee.

Zhang Jiahui must know Yang Dongxu, because he is a contracted artist of Haina. Compared with Zhang Jiahui’s Mandarin in the previous life, his Mandarin in this life is much better. After all, the boss is a mainlander, and there are scenes that need to be filmed in the mainland.

My proficiency in Mandarin has improved very quickly.

When I saw Lin Xilei for the first time at the dinner party, her eyes suddenly lit up. After all, she was a recognized beauty. Then I was shocked by Lee Shau Kee, one of the four villains in Hong Kong. Some people are really blessed by God.

For example, Lee Shau Kee is a very kind person in private, but no matter what his tone and temper are, as soon as you see his face, you will think of Heisehui.

A few people sat down and ordered a table of dishes. Compared to celebrity gatherings in the Mainland, they tend to go to private clubs or sit in boxes. Celebrity gatherings here in Hong Kong are much more casual, and you may encounter them occasionally when you are having skewers on the roadside.

So a few people sat directly in the hall, chatting and laughing when they met familiar people. As the only two women at the table, Cecilia Cheung and Lin Xilei sat together, peeking at Yang Dongxu from time to time, sitting next to her.

The same is true for Lin Xilei.

When they were first introduced, the two of them thought that Yang Dongxu was just a friend of Stephen Chow, but when Wang Jing, a big director who in their eyes could determine their future, called him Mr. Yang, and Brother Zhang next to him also looked very respectful. This made them

I have to think more about who this young man is.

"Hey, that handsome guy that Jiaxin met at the hotel." At another table not far from the hotel lobby, Li Jiaxin and a few friends were also having a dinner party here.

"Wow, Stephen Chow and the great director Wang Jing!" Someone recognized the identities of the two people sitting next to Yang Dongxu. Compared to other directors who were not known to many viewers, Wang Jing's recognition was quite high. After all, he also liked one side.

As a director, he also plays a role in the play, so many people know him.

"Would you like to go over and say hello?" a little sister encouraged.

"No, it's too embarrassing if we don't know each other." Li Jiaxin waved her hand.

To be honest, she really didn't notice Yang Dongxu at first. The two of them could only meet by chance. And she was used to being stared at by men. Even though Yang Dongxu looked good and handsome, she was not a nymphomaniac, so she walked out of the elevator.

The subsequent teasing was just a joke.

However, although she said it was too embarrassing to go over, in her heart Li Jiaxin still really wanted to go over and make friends with the people at the table. It was not that she had any thoughts about Yang Dongxu.

But I want to get to know Wang Jing and Stephen Chow to see if I can get some acting roles. Although she wears the crown of the most beautiful Hong Kong sister, she has also appeared in many movies.

But Li Jiaxin has never had a masterpiece of her own, not even a film in which she is the absolute heroine. Most of her income comes from being a model and shooting covers. The salary is really pitiful because of the lack of box office appeal.

.So he always wanted to be able to make a big drama to prove himself.

After chatting and laughing for a few drinks, the atmosphere on the table was basically relaxed, and everyone was less restrained. Cecilia Cheung even toasted Yang Dongxu with a glass of wine under Wang Jing's teasing.

"Young Master Yang, I have a pretty good book here, are you interested in investing in it?" Wang Jing put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled, his eyes narrowed with joy.

In fact, with Wang Jing's current ability to make commercial films, there is no shortage of investment if he wants to make movies. After all, there are many people waving money and trying to get involved in this matter.

The only reason why Yang Dongxu invested was that he really wanted to get to know the other person and build a relationship. The other reason was naturally that he was interested in Haina's resources.

This resource is not limited to the number of artists under Haina's banner. Wang Jing wants to choose actors for filming movies at will, not just from all over Hong Kong, but there are very few that he cannot hire.

He was interested in Haina's theater resources. The key to making a movie is to make money at the box office, and the key to box office is not only related to the quality of the film itself, but also the production of the film.

Although Haina rebounded in the past few years because of his excessive oppression, he has not done much with the theater chain. But this refers to the theater chains in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Mainland, South Korea and even Japan.

Yang Dongxu has used his influence to establish and control the ownership of many theater chains. Coupled with Haina's current influence in the Asian market, it will not be too easy to promote films to other countries. In addition, including the impact on the Chinese community around the world

If you don’t have enough power, it’s not impossible to go overseas. What is this? It’s all money.

"No problem, you submit the script to the company and we will discuss how much it will cost." Yang Dongxu nodded and agreed.

Cooperation is about mutual benefit and win-win, and the quality of the scammers shot by Wang Jing are all good. Although he makes money through Haina's theater chain, Haina can also use the film to get a share, which is beneficial to everyone.

"Then thank you in advance, Mr. Yang, for the meal." Wang Jing happily toasted with another glass of wine.

As long as Haina is willing to invest, then the theater chain's affairs will basically be stable. By then, the income from filming his own films will not be doubled from before, but it will still be guaranteed to increase by at least 50%.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Wang Jing decided to go back and start preparing the script in a while, and send it directly to Haina Company tomorrow. He also decided not to invest in this drama, Haina

After taking the majority of the investment, you can use your own money to invest and share some of the soup. This is much more than just being a director and getting paid.

"Director Wang is preparing to film a movie again. What kind of movie is it?" Lin Xilei, who had been silent next to her, couldn't help but ask.

In fact, it's not just him, Cecilia Cheung, whose eyes are flickering, but Lee Shau-kee next to him is also doing the same. Only Nick Cheung and Stephen Chow are relatively stable.

Nick Cheung is stable because he has signed a contract with Haina, and now he has no worries about filming. Although he has not won a role as a leading actor so far, his reputation has gradually increased, and his acting skills have improved after so many films.

Polishing has been improving. So he believes that whenever he encounters a suitable opportunity, Hainer will definitely push him out.

Not to mention Stephen Chow, Heiner is very supportive whether he is a director or the leading actor. He is more confident than Nick Cheung, so he can stay calm when facing the role in Wong Jing's new drama.

"The script is still in the process of being polished. When the time comes, I would like to thank you for your help if needed." Wang Jing muttered something vaguely, raising his glass as if he really hoped that the casting would be supported by those present.

A toast to everyone.

The people sitting on the table are all human beings, and who doesn’t know that Wang Jing is a famous fast shooter when he makes movies, so polishing the script is obviously an excuse.

So everyone changed the subject and did not mention this matter again. Lin Xilei also felt that her question was a bit abrupt. It is obviously better to communicate such questions in private.

So she quickly raised a glass to Wang Jing to express her apology, but her eyes were looking at Yang Dongxu intentionally or unintentionally. She was considered an old man in this circle, and she accidentally grasped the key points.

Even Wang Jing is actively looking for him to film a movie, and he looks like he is trying to please him. And Yang Dongxu is also ready to invest, which is undoubtedly very influential in the casting of this movie. She even thinks that Wang Jing is vague at this time.

If he doesn't take up the challenge, maybe he has already thought about leaving the casting matter to Yang Dongxu.

Or maybe after Haina told him what he wanted, he would see if he could get some other roles. Since he wanted to please Yang Dongxu, he would definitely provide a one-stop service. Just now, he was flattering others, and they just agreed here.

When it comes to investment, if you directly decide on the male protagonist or the female protagonist, this does not mean that you are efficient and work hard, but that is stupid.

So after toasting Wang Jing, she toasted Yang Dongxu again. In order not to be so obvious, she generously drank with Stephen Chow, Nick Cheung Ka Fai and opposite Lee Shau Kee.

Seeing Lin Xilei toasting like this, Cecilia Cheung, who was a little confused as one of the only two girls at the table, also stood up and toasted one by one.

Looking at her confused look, Stephen Chow shook his head a little and decided to order some of this little girl after dinner. She was just 19 years old and "The King of Comedy" was her first film in the true sense, and she still discovered it on her own.

The newcomers naturally have to take care of them.

Many people say that Stephen Chow is ruthless and caressing about things. In fact, he is not ruthless. He is just too serious about everything. For example, if you borrow money, you will borrow it. Whether you borrow ten yuan or five yuan, this is very important to him.

Even if it is not worth mentioning, he will ask you for it.

But if you want to give me some money, then you know from the beginning that you are not going to pay it back. Then if he feels sorry for you, he will give it to you directly. Whether it is 80,000 or 100,000, he will never look for you in the future.

I'm going to ask for an account. I won't tell anyone how much favor I've given you to show off.

So as long as you understand this and don't worry about it, you will find that it is really good to be Stephen Chow's friend. He will really care about you, and you don't have to worry about him stabbing you in the back.

After the meal, Yang Dongxu and Stephen Chow chatted for a while and waved goodbye. After getting into the car and looking at the night view of Hong Kong in the dark, Yang Dongxu fell into deep thought. Sister Mei would be back tomorrow, and he had to think carefully about how to persuade him.

Stab...

boom!

After a piercing sound of brakes, Yang Dongxu's body suddenly swayed and the moving car stopped, and a piercing siren sounded in his ears.
