Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 125 Changing roles

On the day "True Lies" was released in North America, Sammo Hung came to Su Cheng's office.

"Brother Sanmao, look at this."

After filming the movie "Food Truck", Jackie Chan continued to complete the movie "Heart of the Dragon" with Sammo Hung here in Hong Kong. By the way, he finished filming the unfinished "Train".

After that, he entered Hollywood, first filming the movie "Red Zone" and then the movie "Rush Hour".

The movie script handed over to Sammo Hung was "Rush Hour". As for "Red Zone", he cooperated with Golden Harvest and asked him to find someone to be the director. However, the characters in this film, Su

Cheng will still let Anita Mui, Dong Piao and others star.

Many people in later generations said that "Red Zone" was the pinnacle of Jackie Chan's action films. In fact, this was not the case. The subsequent "Rush Hour" series were not bad. It was just because they were collaboration films that Jackie Chan's skills were weakened.

This time, Su Cheng asked Sammo Hung to be the director and action director. Naturally, the partner had to be selected from the Tengyue Entertainment Division.

After receiving the script, Sammo Hung roughly read it over. Finally he said in surprise: "Boss, is this a Hollywood blockbuster model?"

Nodding, Su Cheng said: "After Wang Jing and Johnnie To, you are the third director of our Tengyue Entertainment to be promoted to Hollywood. Moreover, I plan to make this "Rush Hour" into a series. How many films can I make?

It all depends on your ability, Brother Sanmao."

Hearing this, Sammo Hung was shocked and said in surprise: "Thank you boss for your trust! I will work hard!"

After talking about this matter, Su Cheng said with a smile: "However, if you want to film this movie, you have to wait for Jackie Chan to finish it. I'm afraid it will have to be at least until the end of the year, or even after the year. In the meantime, I

I hope Brother Sanmao can film two more movies for the company in Xiangjiang."

"That's for sure!" Hearing this, Sammo Hung did not refuse at all. After all, once he waits for the filming of "Rush Hour", most of the roles he will take in the future will be Hollywood blockbusters.

Who knows that Wong Jing is already directing the second movie "Home Alone"! As for Johnnie To, it goes without saying that Su Cheng is the most admired director and his films are indispensable.

Thinking of this, Sammo Hung couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that in just one year, he would have such an opportunity? A Hollywood blockbuster! What many directors in Hong Kong dream of!

Holding the script in his hand tightly, Sammo Hung said: "Boss, before returning to Hong Kong, I went to the branch. Manager Shi Nansheng asked me to tell the boss that the leading actor in "Die Hard" has been replaced.

What’s the name Tom Cruise?”

"Is it him?" Su Cheng originally arranged for Tom Hanks. Since he chose to replace him, I'm afraid it was the director's intention. Shi Nansheng actually asked Sammo Hung to take the message instead of making the call in person. It seemed that she didn't care about this matter.

Take it seriously!

After thinking about it, Su Chengcheng understood. It was probably because in her eyes, these two people were newcomers! If she had known about their future achievements, she would not be so negligent.

After sending Sammo Hung away, Su Cheng directly contacted Shi Nansheng and asked: "Has the male lead in "Die Hard" been replaced?"

"Yes, boss, the director thinks that another Cruise is more suitable for this role." Shi Nansheng on the other side said.

Su Cheng said solemnly: "For once, I don't want the protagonist to appear in the script I wrote without my consent. Do you think the director's power is greater than that of my boss?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Nansheng was startled and he immediately said nervously: "That's not what I meant."

Interrupting what she was going to say next, Su Cheng said calmly: "You signed that Cruise to the company."

"Ah! Yes, yes!" Shi Nansheng replied in a panic.

I was overjoyed, but my voice was still calm and I didn't hide it: "Forget it this time. Remember, we are producing a Hollywood blockbuster. A wrong choice will directly lead to a disastrous ending at the box office. We Teng Yue cannot make such a mistake.

Something happened and a lot of losses were caused. Who is responsible? The director or you, the general manager? If something like this happens again in the future, remember to tell me as soon as possible. No one can do anything without my consent."

After a pause, he continued: "You go to the crew tomorrow and tell me that the director has been fired. The crew will continue filming and let the assistant director take charge. In addition, let James Cameron find a suitable person to shoot this film."

The director of the play.”

"Okay, boss, I know what to do."

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng felt helpless for a while.

The branch company is too far away, and many things cannot be communicated effectively in the first time. It is inevitable that such things will happen. But what makes Su Cheng angry is that Shi Nansheng actually listened to the hired director's suggestion and directly transferred him

The recommended male protagonist has been replaced. What are you trying to do? Ignore him?

Although the action scenes may have been better with Cruise, he did too much and he had to beat her up! I hope she can wake up. Otherwise, he can only choose to replace him as the general manager.

…

Wireless performing arts training class.

Andy Lau has been in a bad mood recently.

Because of his handsome appearance, when he was in class, he was often roped into TV series to play minor roles. Finally, he played a famous role in the TV series "Hong Kong Bayi" that was just aired.

When he became happy, he heard the news that Tengyue Entertainment had poached classmates Wu Jiali and Xu Jinjiang.

For a while, even if I got the leading role in the unit drama "Goodbye", I couldn't be happy.

After all, TV dramas like this usually don't perform well, let alone get much ratings. It's just a test scene.

As for when I can become the third male or the fourth male, that's not certain.

But what about Tengyue Entertainment? As long as you are poached, within half a year, you will be the second or third actor. In about a year, you will be the leading actor. If you perform well, you will even go to Hollywood to work as a supporting actor. You will become an international star.

.

Even at Tengyue TV, within a year, he will be the leading actor.

The gold content is completely incomparable!

In his impression, the big TV station Wireless was not as good as he imagined.

I don't know when, but deep regret flashed through his mind. Why did Tengyue Entertainment refuse him when they approached him? He still wanted to join TVB.

But now he can't help but go directly to Tengyue. He doesn't know what to choose?

However, what he didn't expect was that in order to make him regret, Su Cheng specifically asked Boss Shao to send Wu Jiali and Xu Jinjiang to Tengyue Entertainment. Only in this way can people feel that in Xiangjiang, Tengyue Entertainment is the overlord in that circle!

Even Shaw Brothers and Wireless have no choice but to succumb.

Why not continue to poach Andy Lau now? Su Cheng wants him to understand the principles of survival in society. It’s not about appearance, potential, and talent that can be valued by others. Without perseverance and decisive determination, there is still no way to survive in the short term.

Success, let alone rise.

It’s not too late to dig it again when it’s ripe!

Besides, he doesn't rely solely on his talent to make a living. He has good looks, so what are he afraid of?
