Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 14 The Forgotten Screenwriter

Su Cheng has watched the movie "A Better Tomorrow" several times and has a deep memory of it. It was the film that helped Fa Ge break away from the "box office poison" in his film career.

It was even shot together with Leslie Cheung.

Although the other movie "The Best Partner" is less famous in later generations, it caused a hurricane in Hong Kong. All because its box office exceeded 26 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to have shocked a lot of people.

.

Among them, we have to mention a few key figures. One is the main actor Mai Jia. The other is the screenwriter Huang Baiming. The third is the actor Shi Tian. The three of them are the so-called "three big ones" of Xinyi City later.

Giant". It has not been established yet.

However, New Art City's predecessor, Struggle Film Company, which joined the Golden Princess Cinema Line, has already shot many films, such as "The Unknown Man".

Thinking of this, Su Cheng suddenly thought of an almost ignored figure, that is, before Mai Jia established Endeavor Film Company, he was a screenwriter at Garbo Film Company founded with Sammo Hung, Lau Kar-wing and others, Huang Bingyao.

Wong Ping-yao is a famous screenwriter who became a late bloomer. He became famous because of "The Prodigal Son" starring Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others, which grossed over 9 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

After that, it got out of control. He has written many famous movies.

"Beware of Little Hands" with a box office of HK$11 million.

"The Scary Man" grossed HK$10 million at the box office.

"Five Lucky Stars" with a box office of 22 million Hong Kong dollars.

"The Skirt" grossed HK$11 million at the box office.

"Delinquents" with a box office of HK$11 million.

"Dragon Heart" with a box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Summer Lucky Star" with a box office of 29 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Lucky Star" with a box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

…

Waiting for the works.

The most famous one is "The Dragon" starring Stephen Chow, which grossed over HK$43 million at the box office.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng could no longer sit still. Although he had gained some experience through the three "copied" scripts, he still had to go a long way to become a mature screenwriter like Wang Jing.

.

Taking advantage of this free period, why not expand their company's screenwriting department?

I originally had many famous Hong Kong movies in my mind, but because of his "unskilledness", I didn't dare to write them easily for fear of ruining the script. Fatty Wang Jing was my choice, but he needed to direct the movie, so he had no time to take care of it.

.

This Huang Bingyao has become the talent that their company is in urgent need of.

If you want to sign this person to Tengyue Entertainment, the first thing you have to do is get Sammo Hung's job. However, thinking about it, this matter is not too difficult. First of all, Huang Bingyao has not yet shined.

In addition, as far as Su Cheng knew, Sammo Hung was not in a very good mood during this period. Among the several films planned to be produced by Garbo Film Company, which he founded, "Single Sword" released in August was less than 300

The box office of HKD 10,000. The movie "Lam Sai Wing" currently in theaters has just exceeded the box office of HKD 3 million. It is almost impossible to exceed the box office of HKD 4 million.

However, the junior brother Jackie Chan who followed Sammo Hung at the beginning of the year had a box office of nearly HK$550, which was equivalent to the total box office of his two movies.

In addition, the filming of "Junior Brother" that Jiahe is preparing for Jackie Chan is about to be completed. According to what he heard from his junior brother Yuan Biao, this movie will be even more brilliant. Once released, it will beat Jackie Chan's "Laughing Fist". Then

How much is it? 7 million Hong Kong dollars, 800 Hong Kong dollars? If Sammo Hung knew that in a month or two, when the box office exceeded 11 million Hong Kong dollars, what kind of wonderful expression would he have?

It is precisely because of knowing this that Su Cheng wants to win over the great screenwriter Huang Bingyao immediately. Otherwise, when "Junior Brother" is a hit, Jiahe will send Jackie Chan to Hollywood to prepare for the filming of "The Killer Trench". At that time, without Jackie Chan, will

He will give Sammo Hung a lot of support. If he wants to intervene again, it will be much more difficult.

…

In a quiet tea restaurant, Chen Shufen took the three bodyguards who were ordered by her boss Su Cheng to accompany her when she went out, and met the girl singer Anita Mui, whose name she only knew, and her family.

Looking at the unattractive girl in front of her, Chen Shufen couldn't understand her boss's vision for a moment. How did she identify talented people? But the boss's background and status were there, and she couldn't judge them at will.

Showing a professional smile, Chen Shufen stared at the 16-year-old girl and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Mei, I wonder what you are thinking about?"

Before Anita Mui spoke, Qin Meijin, who was sitting next to her, said, "Ms. Chen, do you know the treatment in your company?"

Glancing at her lightly, Chen Shufen said: "Auntie, people in Xiangjiang can make their own decisions at the age of 16. Do you want to join our company on your own? I'm afraid you are not suitable."

Before coming here, Chen Shufen had heard her boss Su Cheng say that Anita Mui's mother was still a mother when she was young, but after she remarried, she not only remained indifferent to her husband's insults to her daughter, but even made her more jealous.

For such a person, it would be fine if she didn't just slap her, but how could he give her a warm face?

In an instant, Tan Meijin's face froze on the spot. But the middle-aged man beside her exploded and yelled: "You say that again?"

Before Chen Shufen could make a move, the bodyguard Hou Jian who was following her motioned to the two people beside her. Immediately, the noisy middle-aged man was "invited" out. Looking at the man who could only say "woo woo woo"

With a loud voice, the man with wide-eyed eyes was dragged away, and both the young Anita Mui, Tan Meijin and others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.

After she calmed down, Anita Mui said softly: "I am willing to sign a contract with your company, but can you add my sister?"

Hearing this, Mei Aifang quickly stopped her and said, "Amei, go ahead! I don't have to!"

At this time, Chen Shufen, who was looking at their deep sisterly affection, said happily: "Although we are mainly signing the contract with you today, your sister can also go for an interview. If she passes, she can join you. Remember,

You only have one chance, and whether you can seize it or not is entirely up to you."

Without leaving them time to think and discuss, Chen Shufen took Anita Mui and Mei Aifang away directly, leaving only Tan Meijin and her son Mei Qiming looking at each other.

After a while, the middle-aged man who was thrown out before came back in. He looked at his wife with horror in his heart and said tremblingly: "You must not let me mention us in their company."

Beating and scolding her. Those are a group of ruthless people, and they might kill someone."

"Oh, no, we won't tell you." After hearing this, Tan Meijin and Mei Qiming immediately changed their expressions and promised loudly.

After saying this, the three of them packed up and left in a hurry.
