Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 51 Making Money

In Tengyue Entertainment Company, Su Cheng was reading the new script "Double Star Intelligence" written by Huang Bingyao.

The story roughly tells the story of an Interpol police officer who went to Hong Kong to track down a large-scale fugitive. Unexpectedly, he was arrested by a trainee police officer. After resolving the misunderstanding, the two began to work together to solve the case. During the period, they met a pair of sisters and had an emotional entanglement with them.

Unexpectedly, when the fugitive appeared again, he actually captured them and threatened them to take away the original witnesses and the video from the camera obtained by the police station in exchange.

The ending of the story is that for the sake of justice and female dignity, the sister suddenly committed suicide and destroyed the bomb that the fugitive had arranged in advance during the exchange. Later, the man was also killed by two angry policemen.

I scanned the memories in my mind and found no impression of this script. Either it was not good at the box office, or there were no big stars joining the cast, or this is a "new script".

However, the story inside was quite novel for the current Xiangjiang market, so Su Chengcheng nodded and passed.

At this time, he remembered again that since Zhang Jianting became the director, the only "professional screenwriter" left in Tengyue Entertainment was Huang Bingyao.

For this reason, after perfecting the three scripts of "Five Lucky Stars", "Lucky Stars" and "Summer Lucky Stars", Wang Jing also conceived the outline of his own new film, which was originally the first film he directed.

The script of "Thousands of Kings Fighting Thousands of Tyrants" was given to Huang Bingyao to complete and supplement.

Perhaps because of his increasing experience, the fighting scenes and humor elements of "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Tyrants" are much richer than what Su Cheng remembered. He remembered that it was a film starring Xie Xian, who wore glasses in the play and was in the same position as Su Cheng.

Xu Guanwen is similar to a "trickster" with good skills.

If Wong Jing had his temper, he would probably design the action fights to be "martial arts-style" slow motion, unlike the "fast motion" in "Beware of Little Hands".

Coincidentally, Huang Bingyao made up for this major flaw. I think, when the time comes, the box office of this film will be even higher.

Seeing that Su Cheng was very satisfied with the script, Huang Bingyao hesitated for a while and whispered: "Boss, do you think I can be a director?"

"Director?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

Huang Bingyao said uneasily: "That's right, I think you can make more money as a director."

"Huh?" He looked at him in surprise, and then Su Cheng understood. In Tengyue Entertainment Company, although the screenwriters can get a share of the dividends, most of the previous scripts were signed "

Screenwriters: Su Cheng, Huang Bingyao". After all, the story originally came from Su Cheng's mouth.

Of course, the money will be less.

Directors are different! In addition to getting dividends, they also get salary. Moreover, Huang Bingyao is now 34 years old and is no longer young. If he can earn more, his family can live a better life.

However, in Su Cheng's impression, most of Huang Bingyao's talents were in screenwriting. As for actors and producers, he was not very outstanding, let alone the director position that he had never been exposed to. However, seeing his appearance, Su Cheng also

Unwilling to refuse, he frowned and said, "It's not impossible!"

After a pause, Su Cheng continued: "Let's do that! Since you helped Director Wang Jing enrich the script "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Tyrants", go directly to his crew to report on "Merry Christmas". When will you feel that you can be a director?

If you have the job, I will let you direct the film. However, we have to say something ugly beforehand. We must have the ability before we say it. We can't just become a director and fool around. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand everything! Thank you, boss!" Huang Bingyao said excitedly.

Seeing his happy look, Su Cheng did not dampen his enthusiasm. As for what happens in the future, it all depends on him. In his eyes, that director is not easy to be! Who can do it without years of training? Wait until

If you can't hold on, or if you feel like you're not that good at it, you'll understand that being a good screenwriter is your way out!

…

After Huang Bingyao left, Chen Shufen knocked on the door and came in and reported: "Boss, Leslie Cheung's concert has been scheduled. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be arranged?"

"For the singers, in addition to Anita Mui, whom Li Xiaotian mentioned before, call Wang Jie over. As for the songs to be sung, he will understand them himself!" Su Cheng ordered.

Although Anita Mui is now known to many people because of the movie "Happy Ghost", she is not very famous after all. At least, she is not as well-known as Zhong Chuhong who is the leading actor.

Leslie Cheung's concert this time is an opportunity to let more people know about her talent.

As for Wang Jie, he is considered a moderate celebrity in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially in Shaw Brothers. Many people know him, so letting him appear on the stage can be considered as paving the way in advance.

In fact, Su Cheng's original plan was to postpone the concert until the end of the year and let Leslie Cheung shine in the movie first. After all, there are many talented people in the current music scene.

Not counting Leslie Cheung's own song album that won a platinum record, Alan Tam's "Love You Crazy" released in the same period also sold well.

In addition, Chen Baiqiang's "No More Tears" and Lin Zixiang's "A Person".

There are also Xu Guanying, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Zheng Shaoqiu and others who have released albums or singles. Their momentum is not weak at all!

Especially Luo Wen and Zheng Shaoqiu, at this stage, they are the "big guys" in the music industry!

It's a pity that Leslie Cheung is stubborn and Su Cheng can't do anything about it, so just let him be! As long as he is happy.

At this time, Chen Shufen said: "Boss, I heard in the past two days that Boss Shao of TVB seems to be restricting us from filming in Shaw Brothers Studios."

"You mean Shaw Brothers Cinemas? The one at Pu Tsai in Clear Water Bay?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, boss!" Chen Shufen affirmed.

This was beyond Su Cheng's expectation. Once the film could not be filmed at Shaw Brothers Studios, the only option left was to go to Jiahe. But their relationship with Jiahe? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shake my head.

In the past, it might have been possible. Now, at least in the short term, I'm afraid it's impossible. After all, their Tengyue Entertainment company had just poached Sammo Hung and others, so if Zou Wenhuai doesn't hate them, it's considered a big deal.

After thinking about it, Su Cheng felt that something was wrong. Even if Run Run Shaw wanted to take action, it would not be at this time. After all, Princess Jin and Xinyi City showed up. At least, they would have to wait for a few months.

Let's see how things develop.

However, if you don’t have your own studio, you will still have to be controlled by others. The films currently produced are not that big, but Johnnie To’s "The Legend of the Dragon" and the future "A Better Tomorrow" series of films must use film

city, otherwise the danger would be too great.

Is this to delay the filming speed of Tengyue Entertainment Company?

Boss Shao is really good at it!

After thinking about it with a frown, Su Cheng felt that it was better to take it one step at a time. If that didn't work, he would go to Wandao to film. And if Run Run Shaw really did this, he would not go to Hollywood to buy a theater for the time being.

We also want to acquire Li's TV station. When the time comes, let's see if Boss Shao should laugh or cry.
