Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 63 Shi Nansheng

Just when Su Cheng was about to leave, an unexpected and surprised person walked up to him and whispered: "Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Miss Shi, why are you here?" Su Cheng said somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, before Shi Nansheng could speak, Huang Xizhao introduced with a strange expression: "Boss, she does publicity work at our Tengyue TV station."

Su Cheng really didn't know about this. His memories of Shi Nansheng came from her famous husband Tsui Hark in later generations. When New Art City was founded, he asked Tengyue Entertainment to poach her.

After Zeng Zhiwei's accident, Shi Nansheng seemed to have disappeared. I never thought that I would meet him here. Xiangjiang is really small!

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Mr. Su, I wonder if I still have a chance to work at Tengyue?"

"Oh?" Su Cheng looked at her with interest and said, "Aren't you comfortable working here?"

"I want to change my job!" Shi Nansheng didn't shy away from it in front of General Manager Huang Xizhao.

Seeing this, Su Cheng first said to Huang Xizhao: "You go and work on re-signing the contract first, and I'll talk to Miss Shi."

"Okay, boss!"

After he left, Su Cheng asked curiously: "You and Tsui Hark?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Nansheng's face changed slightly. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to do with him."

After slowing down, she continued: "I don't want to continue working in the TV station, nor do I want to do anything related to publicity. I wonder if Mr. Su will give me a new job?"

After staring at her for a while, Su Cheng could feel that Shi Nansheng had been attracted to Tsui Hark for a while. I don't know if it was because of the scandal or something else, but the bud of affection was suddenly cut off. In fact, this is not the case.

Okay. After maintaining a relationship for decades, is it still not "abandoned"?

It is very difficult for people like Alan Tam, Eric Tsang, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Bruce Leung, etc. to provide a stable and solid home for a family. In their eyes, as long as they are not brought in front of you and mess around outside, they can show their true nature as a man.

.If it weren’t for Shi Nansheng’s outstanding abilities, I’m afraid she and Tsui Hark wouldn’t have been able to maintain their relationship as husband and wife for so many years.

After thinking about this, Su Cheng smiled and said: "I am extremely honored to have a talented woman like Miss Shi join us. I just wonder if Miss Shi is interested in working in Hollywood?"

"What does Mr. Su mean?" Shi Nansheng asked doubtfully.

Su Cheng explained: "Our Tengyue Entertainment plans to enter Hollywood within the next year. However, it will definitely be very difficult in the early stage. Ms. Shi has lived abroad and has outstanding abilities. If possible, I hope

You can go there and set up our branch. However, you need to stay for at least one or two years before you can return to Hong Kong."

Su Cheng is actually not afraid of others finding out about this matter. First of all, although their company has a weak foundation, there is no doubt about its future. No matter how big the steps are, they still have the ability to make things happen. After all, there is no shortage of funds and good scripts.

, there is no shortage of good directors and crew. The only thing lacking is the publicity channels and distribution.

When everything is ready, whatever Jiahe cannot do, their Tengyue Entertainment company will do their part!

After being stunned for a long time, Shi Nansheng woke up from the state of surprise. In her eyes, Tengyue Entertainment Company is about to enter Hollywood now, which is not a good time! After all, the background is not enough. But after thinking about it carefully, she thinks it is still the same

A glimmer of possibility for success and a firm foothold.

Why do you think so?

How did Tengyue Entertainment rise? Wasn’t it all of a sudden?

Furthermore, even if Su Cheng is so rash, Liang Shuyi and others are wise people. No one has any opinions on the decision, so why should they question it?

Thinking of this, Shi Nansheng said: "I'll go! Thank you Mr. Su for your appreciation!"

Waving his hand, Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's still too early to say this at this time. Before that, I hope you can stay with Manager Liang Shuyi and learn more about management. It will be easier to get started when you go to Hollywood."

"Thank you, boss!" Shi Nansheng nodded.

…

On the way away from the TV station, the sound of the system kept ringing.

After blocking the information, Su Cheng silently looked through it. Another large number of rewards were sent. However, there were not many people interested in him on the TV station, so he didn't pay much attention. He would wait until he needed to use the script.

The next day.

A press conference was held for Tengyue Cinemas to cooperate with Golden Harvest Cinemas to jointly release the movie "The Best Son-in-Law".

This can be said to have caused another huge wave.

Currently, the four major theater chains in Hong Kong are vying for supremacy. Since the rise of Tengyue Entertainment, although Shaw Brothers are also making profits, they have not only produced few self-produced movies, but their box office is also poor. As a result, many people think that Shaw Brothers

The film industry is about to close down, leaving only the theater chain to maintain it.

Boss Lei's Golden Princess Cinema has just been established and is still waiting to be seen. Since the guarantee system has been abolished for the number of films being released, more and more independent films have been released.

Once the two "giants" Jiahe and Tengyue cooperate, it is likely that Shaw Brothers will suffer the most serious losses! After all, it and Jiahe are sworn enemies, and it has also broken up with Tengyue. It looks like the sun is setting in the west.

wireless.

After hearing the news, Fang Yihua slammed the table and said angrily: "Then what does the Su boy mean? Doesn't he know about our relationship with Jiahe? How dare he?"

Run Run Shaw looked leisurely and said with a slight smile: "Why don't you dare? They are poaching people from our place and attracting Shu Qi, making it impossible for us to broadcast the awards ceremony live. This is not too surprising if we join forces with Jiahe

thing."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua became even more angry and said with an ugly face: "Brother Six, what should we do?"

He waved his hand and asked her to calm down for a while. After calming down, Run Run Shaw said: "As promised before, let's hold steady first and wait until the dust settles here before thinking of countermeasures. Let's let them jump around first.

!Also, find the person in charge at Cathay Pacific and give them some trouble."

"It's so cheap for them." Fang Yihua muttered.

In this regard, Run Run Shao still smiled. However, an imperceptible sneer flashed away, and even the sixth sister-in-law beside him did not notice it.

…

New Art City.

Everyone in Mecca sat together for a meeting.

Huang Baiming said disdainfully: "In my opinion, instead of paying attention to them, it is better to do our job well. When the movie is released, we will compare the box office. What is this afraid of? Didn't Golden Harvest defeat the flourishing Shaw Brothers?

?With our wisdom, Tengyue is still the same. I don’t believe that every film they produce can be a hit? Even Hollywood film companies can’t guarantee it!”

These words were true, and they immediately aroused everyone's confidence.

If you are afraid of this and that, why are you still making movies and starting a company? Why not break up the partnership and change industries!

Looking at him with a smile, Maijia said: "That's right! That's the truth!"

Shi Tian also said: "Most of us here are famous in the industry earlier than Tengyue Entertainment. If it succeeds, will we fail? I think everyone is frightened by the box office of their series of movies.

Wow. Furthermore, didn't the previous movie "Junior Brother" produced by Golden Harvest also stand out among them? Although the box office did not exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it was not low! With it as a template, what should we worry about?"

Immediately afterwards, people in twos and threes cheered themselves up.

After a long time, Mai Jia said: "I want to tell you some good news. The first movie we are planning to shoot in New Art City will be completed soon. When it is a big hit at the box office, I will make the decision and treat everyone to a big dinner. How about it?"

"Boss Mai is so brave!" a group of people cheered.

After the meeting, the three shareholders, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian, ​​sat together. Mai Jia smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know yet, right? Boss Su of Tengyue Entertainment wants to go to Hollywood to develop, and the script is already in preparation. Regarding Xiangjiang

People don't look down on the box office market at all. They keep their eyes on North America. Who knows, one day a blockbuster with a box office of over 100 million will appear."

"Over 100 million? If it's Hong Kong dollars, maybe US dollars? Go to sleep!" Shi Tian said sarcastically.

Huang Baiming also had a look of disbelief. But Mai Jia felt heavy. He had lived abroad and knew the impact of Hollywood blockbusters. He didn't know whether Tengyue Entertainment could become brilliant. But at least, if he had the drive and courage, it wouldn't be

He can compare with it.

Furthermore, who knows whether he will succeed or not? Didn’t Bruce Lee become famous amidst everyone’s ridicule back then?

You must face your opponents squarely and not blindly believe that your own abilities are the best.

They just looked at the two people around them, but in the end there was no reminder. They shook their heads, stopped mentioning the topic, and moved to the drama that was about to be completed. This was the first drama they directed, so they must not be careless.

…

Wang Jing once again showed the storyboards he drew to Su Cheng.

Although it was still a mess, there was some progress. After thinking about it, Su Cheng gave him the footage of the script "Back to the Future" that he was perfecting.

Half an hour later, Wang Jingcai said with a frustrated look: "Sorry, boss, I'll go back and study it again."

Instructing him to sit down first, Su Cheng pointed to the script and said, "Tell me your opinion first."

Scratching his head, Wang Jing said: "I think some of the dialogues are not good enough."

Then, the fat man took out the script, pointed to the issues in it, and spoke carefully. Although the Xiangjiang script written by this guy himself was also a general content, not very detailed. But when talking about Hollywood blockbusters, he was very clear-cut.

I don't know whether it was because he already understood it or because he had made up for it recently, but Su Cheng didn't care.

The point is, what he said really makes sense.

Nodding with satisfaction, Su Cheng said: "This is the Hollywood script I'm going to prepare for you. I haven't finished the split shots yet, but you can take the script to modify and polish it. Remember, you must not let others see it.

, this is confidential. Regarding science fiction themes, there are very few completed films, and I don’t want to be censored before this happens.”

"Boss, I know the seriousness of the matter!" As he said this, he clenched the hand holding the script tightly.

After looking at him, Su Cheng asked, "How was the meeting there?"

Wang Jing said: "Almost all directors have the idea of ​​​​going to Hollywood to shoot blockbusters. I told them what my boss said, but I don't know what the final result will be?"

"Ignore it! When the first film we produce becomes a box office hit, those directors may panic." Except for those directors of art films, who doesn't panic? One of their films can be as good as dozens of yours.

, then where is your motivation?

Naturally, more people will come to your door!

When mentioning this, Wang Jing hesitated and said: "Boss, if the shots they draw are not up to par, do we really plan not to let them direct Hollywood blockbusters in the future?"

Staring at him jokingly, Su Cheng said, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"

After a pause, he continued: "I just want to force their courage. If you want to shoot a film like that, the production cost is a big problem. If you don't have enough ability, do you dare to delegate power? Take the ""

"The Kramers" is an example. If you make a blockbuster like this into a short story, do you think it will have such fame and achievements?"

"That's true!" Wang Jing muttered.

Su Cheng went on to say: "The reason why Hollywood blockbusters have grand scenes and lively characters, unlike the small-minded ones here in Xiangjiang, is that in addition to the large investment, the key is that the director's filming techniques are different. They will use sports shooting methods. If there is

If necessary, I hope you can take the lead in learning."

Why does Director Xiangjiang know this method but doesn't use it? It's all because the camera is too heavy to carry. He can only use the joystick method, which is simple and convenient.

But some shots, when produced this way, don't have the feeling of a blockbuster.

Hearing this, Wang Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, why don't we ask a photographer from Hollywood to take the photo?"

"hehe……"

With a sarcastic smile, Su Cheng said: "Do you know what my intention is in setting up a Hollywood branch? I don't want Hong Kong movies to be like the martial arts movies of the 1960s, the action movies of the 1970s, the current comedies, or the gun battles of the future.

Films and so on gradually disappeared into the long river of history."

After a pause, he continued: "To shoot a drama, you can hire directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes production staff from Hollywood, but my idea is that they cannot take the lead. This is how to promote Hong Kong movies. If it goes according to what you said

In that case, if the photographer is from Hollywood, then why should I look for you? What can be done by a mature director in Hollywood, but I have to put in so much effort and have nothing to do?"

These words made Wang Jing blush.

Think about it, the boss’s intentions are really deep! He pushed the directors, artists, and other behind-the-scenes staff to Hollywood, firstly to reduce costs, and secondly to make them famous. I really don’t know what is good or bad!

Bite the bullet, Wang Jing said: "Well, I will talk to the photographers. Let them have ideas and practice them. Then they can get started directly."

Glancing at him lightly, Su Chengcheng stopped talking. As for whether Wang Jingfang cared about it, he actually didn't care at all. Although talents in this world are rare, there are also many. If there is no awareness, even if he is forcibly promoted, he will still be able to leave.

How far?

Everything depends on your choice!
