Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 156 "Police Story"

Shortly after the Falklands War ended, the inland side held talks with the British in Hong Kong.

This time, the time for negotiations was finally set, and it was determined by Mrs. Thatcher’s visit to China. In an instant, major newspapers in Hong Kong began to carry out analysis and reports.

However, most of them tend to fail in the negotiations. Who gave the British another great victory this time and made people unable to see the trend of bowing their heads?

When Su Cheng was about to go to Tengyue Entertainment Company, Wu Guangzheng called and told him again that he must remember what he said before. Support them, and if possible, follow the Bao family and go there in person.

He promised with all his words, but Su Cheng also knew in his heart that even if he wanted to go, he would have to wait until 2 years later to formally sign the agreement with the British on the return of Hong Kong in 1997 in the mainland. Otherwise, even if it was over, he would not be able to do anything.

An investment is just wishful thinking. If you do it without any scruples, you may face strong suppression from the Hong Kong Governor. This is not a good thing for their Tengyue Entertainment Company! The current big names like Su Cheng and Pao Yugang

There is no way to compare with a wealthy family.

"Autumn Story" has not yet been finished, good news came from Hollywood. Chow Yun-fat once again won the Best Actor Award for his movie "True Lies"! In addition to him, Su Cheng also won the Best Screenplay Award. Johnnie To

It even won the Best Director Award. And the final "True Lies" also won the Best Action Film Award.

In addition, the film also won the Best Supporting Actress Award and the Best Special Effects Award.

It’s a big win at the American Saturn Awards!

At the same time, "ET", a film jointly released by Tengyue Cinemas and Universal Cinemas, was officially released in North America, with a final box office total of US$378 million. It became the 8th place on the global movie box office list.

, only after "Raiders of the Lost Ark" directed by Steven Spielberg himself.

When the box office results in other countries and regions are released, it is very likely to surpass the "Star Wars" that currently ranks first at the box office.

Just as Hollywood is cheering loudly for this movie, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Story of Hachigong" produced by Tengyue has begun to be released in Hong Kong. This film is invested by Golden Harvest Pictures and Dingsheng Pictures

.For a time, TV stations and newspapers were completely overwhelming with publicity.

This resulted in a rare breakthrough of 1.83 million Hong Kong dollars on the opening day!

Just at this time, Wang Jing came to Su Cheng's office and said with joy: "Boss, the first batch of discs we produced have been successfully sold in various places. At the same time, there has also been a breakthrough in the cooperation of audio tapes. Come to think of it, a

Within this month, sales of these two items will reach a climax."

After hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes lit up. After all, the reason why he entered the disc market in the first place was that it was low-cost and easy to operate. But audio tapes are different. One is easy to save. The other is that the cost is high. I want to

It is not easy to open this market. Who would have thought that Wang Jing would have done this so long ago?

After encouraging him for a few words, Su Cheng said: "After you sort it out, leave this matter to others to handle. Your major is screenwriting and directing."

At this point, Su Cheng paused and said in a deep voice: "As for the screenwriter, you have to hold a meeting to seriously rectify it. You can't always let me, the boss, take action. You also have to write the script yourself. Huang Bingyao and Zhang Jianting,

Even Sammo Hung has done a good job. But you and Kwan Kam Peng are far behind. If you don’t have screenwriting talent, I won’t pay attention. But your talent is not weak. You can’t just sit back and enjoy the success.”

"Yes, the boss is right! I will take this matter seriously." Wang Jing rarely put away his playful smile. If Su Cheng hadn't said it, he really didn't realize it. He always thought that the company arranged a lot of dramas and there was no shortage of scripts.

That’s right!

But how did he know? Su Cheng's scripts all came from awards within the system. But with the continuous development of Tengyue Entertainment and the increase in the cost of filming a movie, the number of awards has become less and less.

In recent months, there have been less than 10 scripts! You know, Tengyue Entertainment has also signed several new artists. This shows how rare it is to obtain new scripts.

When Su Cheng's scripts dry up, will Tengyue Entertainment Company face a sharp drop in revenue? This is not what Su Cheng wants to see.

With the addition of this group of screenwriters, a film and television company can develop normally and healthily. It does not just rely on the merits of one person or a few people.

…

Jackie Chan has returned to Hong Kong.

With the experience of filming "Food Truck" before, the speed of filming "Red Zone" this time was completed nearly a month earlier than the previously budgeted time.

What surprised Su Cheng was that he neither chose to go to a nightclub nor find a random woman, but instead came to the headquarters of Tengyue Entertainment and came to Su Cheng to film his next movie.

Originally, Jackie Chan had indeed planned to take a rest, but before he returned to Hong Kong, he learned that Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and even Yuen Hua had already started filming Hollywood movies produced by Tengyue, and his senior brother Sammo Hung was still absolutely

Male number one! How can Jackie Chan bear this?

Although there are "Fast Truck" and the just-concluded movie "Red Zone", this is only the first film to break into Hollywood. It can be regarded as a stable popularity in Southeast Asia and a slight appearance in Hollywood. With Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and even

Tony Leung Ka Fai, who has just become popular in North America, cannot be compared at all!

In the blink of an eye, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah became the protagonists in Hollywood blockbusters, which made Jackie Chan unable to let go. And who told him that he was not a contracted artist under Tengyue? He could only bite the bullet and come to the door.

Su Cheng smiled and invited Jackie Chan to sit down in the office, and asked his secretary to pour him a cup of tea. Then he said solemnly: "Aaron, the plan I told you last year is still valid today. If you want to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster, there is no way."

The problem is, you have to help us finish a Hong Kong film first. At the end of the year, you can go and shoot that "Rush Hour"."

This can be regarded as Jackie Chan's most glorious moment. The influence and evaluation of subsequent Hollywood blockbusters have been weakened. And after the filming of "Rush Hour" is completed, I am afraid that Jackie Chan will have to return to Jiahe for more than half a year. Su Cheng naturally

Don't waste too much time.

Although he still couldn't shoot a Hollywood blockbuster right away, it wasn't that long before the end of the year. Jackie Chan happily agreed.

Subsequently, Su Chengcheng asked his secretary to take him to see Chen Shufen. Then he reported to Wang Jing and arranged for Jackie Chan to shoot the movie "Police Story" immediately.

After all, after "Rush Hour", Jackie Chan may not be so motivated! In order to prevent this from happening, even "Eagle Project" has to be postponed.

When Jackie Chan left Tengyue Entertainment with satisfaction, Liang Shuyi walked in and said: "Boss, if we do this, will we cultivate talents for Jiahe?"

Waving his hand, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Rush Hour" can be regarded as his most glorious time. Furthermore, without our script, Jiahe's attempt to push him to a higher status is just a fantasy. Hollywood is not like that.

It's easy to mess around. Unless Jackie Chan himself becomes an artist of a major Hollywood film company, he might have a chance."

With this in mind, he warned: "When filming "Rush Hour", remember to sign a series contract with Jackie Chan. One film a year. Three films in total. This is a necessary condition, otherwise, he will have no choice but to withdraw from the film."

"Okay, boss!" Although Liang Shuyi didn't understand why Su Chengcheng cared so much about "Rush Hour". But what the boss said must be carried out!

But Su Cheng was thinking in his heart, should he also sign a series contract for "Police Story"? He just thought that the success of the subsequent films was not great, so he gave up.

To be honest, many of Jackie Chan's movies can be played by other artists. For example, Leslie Cheung's "Miracle" has already been filmed. The fighting is not very dangerous, and the thrilling actions are not that frequent.

Another example is the "Master Dragon" that has not appeared until now. If Jackie Chan was replaced, it would not be a big deal.
