Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 135 "Fast and Furious"

After Tengyue TV officially signed the film and television adaptation rights for several of Liang Yusheng's novels, the movies "Good Encounter" and "Woman's Heart" were successively released.

The box office performance of "Good Encounter" was relatively good, finally staying at 14.12 million Hong Kong dollars. "A Woman's Heart" was slightly worse, reaching a box office of 12.64 million Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the Hollywood blockbuster "True Lies" starring Chow Yun-fat has been released in Hong Kong. It received a high box office of 1.28 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day. In just three days, it grossed 4.29 million Hong Kong dollars.

Box office. I'm afraid it won't be a dream if it exceeds 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, in Hollywood, "The Breakfast Club" produced by Tengyue has officially been released in North America, with the box office remaining at 73.18 million US dollars.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Flashdance" directed by James and starring Phoebe Cates has also been produced and will be promoted soon. If it is released, it may be during the Chinese New Year.

Su Cheng, who was in Tengyue Entertainment Company, was sitting in the office, a little dazed.

After "The Breakfast Club" was finished, system rewards were distributed. Only this time, a Hollywood movie script and a domestic movie script were given.

The Hollywood movie script is "The Hangover". The domestic movie script is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

In later generations, Su Cheng only watched the first part of "The Hangover". Although the film did well at the box office, in his eyes, it was too rough. If it had been filmed by Tengyue Entertainment, it would have required major revisions.

.

What surprised Su Cheng the most was that for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the system only provided the script, and there was no corresponding adaptation rights contract as usual.

This gave him quite a headache. Firstly, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was published as a novel, and it was serialized nearly 40 years ago. Secondly, the original writer of this novel did not remember

If I'm wrong, he passed away a few years ago. It's not easy to get an adaptation contract as soon as possible. You have to find your immediate family members first.

Just when he was thinking about this, Yuan Heping knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, the post-production of "Ip Man" is ready. Do you want to take a look?"

Seeing this person, Su Cheng's eyes lit up instantly. He first asked him to sit on the sofa, and asked his secretary to bring him a cup of tea. He said slowly: "Don't rush to watch the movie. Director Yuan, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Have you read this novel?"

"Ah! No!" Not knowing what the boss wanted to do with this formation, Yuan Heping was surprised at first, then waved his hand.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I haven't read it yet, so don't worry. I want you to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this novel for the company. I will write the movie script here, but I will trouble Director Yuan about the filming."

It’s over!”

"No trouble, no trouble. It's an honor for me to be appreciated by my boss." Yuan Heping said quickly.

Seeing his uncomfortable expression, Su Cheng didn't talk much and said he would go to the movie studio after finishing his work.

On the other side, Yuan Heping, who left Su Cheng's office, immediately asked someone to inquire about the novel called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Who knew that this time, it was actually delayed for five days. Finally, I heard from a newspaper editor that this novel was not yet published in physical form in Xiangjiang and could be purchased inland Shanghai.

However, the good news is that they know that the author of this book is named Wang Dulu. Although he has been born, his first wife Li Danquan is still there. If they find this person, they can get the film and television adaptation rights.

After the discussion, Yuan Heping planned to go over there to handle the matter in person. Of course, after going there, he had to read the original novel first. Otherwise, how could he negotiate?

After deciding on a group of five people, Yuan Heping asked for leave from Sammo Hung, who was still in Hong Kong.

When Su Cheng learned the news, Yuan Heping and others had already headed inland.

He couldn't help but sigh: What a practical person!

…

Not long after Yuan Heping went to the mainland, Tengyue received invitations from the American Golden Globe Awards and Oscars.

Among them, "Back to the Future" starring Leslie Cheung won the American Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the Musical Comedy category and the Best Screenplay nomination. It also won the Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.

The movie "True Lies" starring Chow Yun-fat won the American Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the Musical Comedy category, the Best Screenplay nomination, and the Oscar nomination for Best Editing and Best Visual Effects.

Although the nomination awards are not many, there is a high chance that the Best Actor Award at the American Golden Globe Awards will be awarded to one of Leslie Cheung or Chow Yun-fat.

As for the Oscar, the Best Editing Award may go to Mai Zishan. He is Tengyue's dedicated editor specially equipped for Hollywood blockbusters. Huang Yuetai is the dedicated cinematographer.

I hope they will leave a big name in Hollywood soon.

Another year's New Year's Day came, and Sammo Hung brought the brothers from the Hong family class and Su Cheng together again.

After having a drink together, Yuan Biao stood up first and said sincerely: "Thank you boss for your support."

"That's serious!" Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, thank you to Brother Sanmao. It was him who filmed you so well. Otherwise, if it were a different director, we might not have achieved what we have now."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Sammo Hung quickly said: "No, I'm not that capable! It's all the boss's credit!"

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the boss!" Others immediately started cheering.

Su Cheng shook his head and cursed with a smile: "You have learned bad things from Brother Sanmao!"

After a burst of laughter, Su Cheng solemnly said to everyone: "Now we have a firm foothold in Hollywood. Starting from the end of the year, Brother Sanmao will start as the director and protagonist. Naturally, inside

Yuan Biao and you all are indispensable. But..."

After a pause, Su Cheng said: "Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma, Liu Guanwei, and Liu Jiarong have to stay here in Hong Kong first. The company still has a lot of Hong Kong films waiting for you to shoot. As for the others, they all follow Sanmao.

I’m going to Hollywood. As for the script, I’ll shoot the Fast and Furious movie first.”

Ever since he started filming the movie "Back to the Future," Su Cheng has been recalling the many Hollywood blockbusters he has watched in his later years, in order to not rely too much on system rewards.

After all, after several years of exploration, no new rewards have emerged for the TV series scripts obtained from the system, regardless of the post-production effects, ratings, and influence.

As for Hong Kong films, as the salaries of actors and directors increase, and the company's internal requirements for high-quality production, the cost is gradually rising. Even if the box office is good, it is even more difficult to earn more than 5 times the revenue.

.More than 2 times, all are beginning to shrink. (Naturally, it is the first premiere area for the film to be released).

The same goes for Hollywood blockbusters. With the increase in special effects, the cost is increasing, and subsequently, the income is decreasing. In the future, there will be fewer people who want to get rewards for two movies. Even slowly, there will be fewer people who want to get one movie.

There are no rewards. At least, many Hong Kong movies that have been released no longer have systematic rewards. (There is no more than 2 times the income)

For this reason, Su Cheng began to write the script by himself. But the actual situation was that he only had a rough plot in his memory, which was not complete. After thinking about it, he began to work with Sammo Hung, Yuen Kui, Yuan Hua, Johnnie To and others to perfect the script.

A script I want to write.

"Fast and Furious" is the first Hollywood blockbuster they perfected. It was adapted from "Fast and Furious 4" that Su Cheng had seen. He had never seen the first three movies, so naturally he had no impression of it.

Different from the original version, in addition to the "team", in addition to "racing skills", a lot of action and fighting are added. There are 7 protagonists in it.

Three foreigners and four Xiangjiang people.

The leader is the leader of Xiangjiang. The character is called Zhi Zhi Hong. He has a photographic memory, is highly skilled, and knows all about firearms and the like. (Boss).

The second-in-command, Hong's deputy, butler Cao, a legendary craftsman, can open any lock in the world within 3 minutes.

The third child, the abandoned prodigal Fei. The top three hacker figures in the world.

My little sister is Xiangxiang. It’s hard to tell the real from the fake with the art of disguise.

A foreigner, a Filipino black guy, fluent in eight languages, and a good swimmer.

A muscular European man who competes in underground boxing matches all year round and ranks in the top five.

The last one is a black-haired American girl, a mechanical expert. She can modify more than 90% of mechanical equipment. She is best at modifying scrapped cars.
