Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 64 Reminder

The movie "The Best Son-in-Law" has become well-known to the people of Hong Kong through press conferences held by Tengyue Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas. Its premiere grossed an astonishing box office of HK$730,000.

Just when everyone was expecting this film to be a hit, something shocking happened. On the second day, the single-day box office was HK$810,000. On the third day, it was HK$530,000. On the fourth day, it was HK$450,000. On the fifth day

, 420,000 Hong Kong dollars. On the sixth day, 390,000 Hong Kong dollars. On the seventh day, 360,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The box office keeps falling, and there is no way to stop it.

Although the box office in the first week was HK$3.69 million, everyone with a discerning eye knows that this film will be canceled if it does not reach a cumulative box office of HK$5 million. This is also a new rule set by Tengyue Cinemas. Every film released

, it will be screened for at least 25 days while ensuring an attendance rate of over 10%.

Su Cheng actually had a premonition about this movie that was a "failure" in the eyes of others. His purpose was to train the newcomers' acting skills. He also wanted to get rid of Stephen Chow's "entanglement" and recognize his own "ignorance."

Fortunately, the film "Pretty Girl" that was released at the same time performed well, and despite the unfavorable circumstances of Shaw Brothers withdrawing the film, it also accumulated good results of 9.86 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Su Cheng's office on the 12th floor of Tengyue Entertainment Company.

Just after discussing with Liang Shuyi about the promotion of the movie "Happy Ghost 2", a frustrated Stephen Chow knocked on the door and came in accompanied by Tony Leung.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Stephen Chow stood there and said this after a long time.

Tony Leung, who was standing next to him, was even more silent.

Looking at these two people, Su Cheng has one head and two big heads. However, the one who should be comforted should be comforted. He said slowly: "The success or failure of the movie's box office has nothing to do with you. I think you also know that the movies produced by our company will

It will be screened in the movie theater and will be promoted and released with my consent."

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, although the box office of the movie you filmed this time was not high, it still made money for the company, which is considered a success. In addition, usually the movies produced by our company are full of famous names.

Foreign actors play the leading roles. And this time, you young actors play the leading roles. It is already very good to have this box office. Many of the films directed by Sammo Hung before were of this level. If you know the gap with others, you have to

Learn to summarize. Never be overly conceited."

At this point, Su Cheng said to Stephen Chow: "Axing, you are a fan of Bruce Lee. You should know that his Jeet Kune Do was created by integrating a lot of martial arts. Without enough accumulation, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to do it."

It won’t help. Think about it!”

After hearing these words, Stephen Chow was filled with emotion and solemnly said: "Thank you very much, boss!"

When they left, Su Cheng shook his head slightly. In fact, most of what he just said were exaggerations. It is innocuous that a newcomer plays the leading role and the box office is low. The same movie, if Chung Chu-hong is the heroine and Liang Jiahui is the heroine, it is innocuous.

The male protagonist will surely easily exceed HK$5 million at the box office. Why? Just focus and investment.

Tony Leung could be better, but Stephen Chow's acting skills and Wang Zuxian's acting skills are unsatisfactory at this time. Apart from his good looks, they have nothing.

Who likes too many exaggerated actions? Even if it’s a comedy, don’t do it like this! It makes people feel uncomfortable. Such a movie is just wishful thinking to get high box office!

When watching the film, Su Chengcheng discovered it. But the crew has already finished filming, so we can't say let's just reshoot it! It will be saved for release!

…

Sammo Hung's "The Five Lucky Stars" was shot very well, exceeding Su Cheng's expectations. It seems that he has a good feel for this "new type" of films.

As for "The Prodigal Son" starring Yuen Biao, it is similar to the films in the system rewards.

In a good mood, a group of them came to the conference room. Su Cheng said to Sammo Hung: "Brother Sanmao, if I want you to collaborate with Jackie Chan once, what do you think?"

"Of course that's good! We are all brothers!" These words were a bit insincere!

Smiling, Su Cheng explained: "Due to the cooperation with Golden Harvest Cinema, I agreed to write a script for Jackie Chan. There is a role in it that is suitable for Yuan Biao, and I hope he can participate."

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, there is a script invested by our company and starring Jackie Chan. Of course, this drama will be directed by Brother Sanmao. The reason why Jackie Chan is invited is

Because his acting is life-threatening, and there are many dangerous and classic scenes that ordinary people really can’t learn.”

These words made Sammo Hung silent.

Su Cheng smiled again and said: "Of course, before that, both you and Yuan Biao have new movies to shoot. Of these two movies, one will start shooting in September at the earliest. The other one will probably arrive soon."

During the Chinese New Year.”

In addition, Tengyue Entertainment Company has at least 5 films waiting for Sammo Hung’s people to take over.

Sammo Hung said: "Don't worry, boss! I will cooperate well!"

"That's OK!" After saying that, he took out the scripts brought by his secretary and said: "Here are new scripts for you. One is "Legacy Pioneer", with Yuan Biao as the starring role. The other is "The Owl and Xiao Fei"

"Elephant", Brother Sanmao, you and Ng Meng-tat will star. In addition, there is also a script for "Wealth Train", which is a large-scale production. Wait until you are free to prepare for filming. Once these filming is completed, it is almost time for us to enter Hollywood.

"

Hearing the last sentence, Sammo Hung's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Okay, boss!"

None of the others sitting next to him spoke. Seeing this, Su Cheng felt helpless. Even though everyone had joined Tengyue Entertainment, Sammo Hung would still be the backbone of the company.

Just when he was about to leave, Su Cheng suddenly said: "Brother Sanmao, if you have time, you can also learn Hollywood sports shooting techniques. Maybe we will use it in the first film prepared by our company. By then

I'll definitely let you and Wang Jing take action. I'm really not worried about the others."

After all, there are only a few senior directors like Sammo Hung in the company, and the others are "new directors" who have made one or two films.

"Understood!" After saying this, he turned around and Sammo Hung and others left.

Looking at his back, Su Cheng fell into deep thought for a moment.

…

After the script of "Plan A" was written, Su Chengcheng contacted Zou Wenhuai.

It’s still the same tea restaurant as last time.

When Zou Wenhuai finished reading, Su Chengyan said: "How about it? Can it still catch Mr. Zou's eyes?"

Without any words, Zou Wenhuai raised his thumb.

Su Cheng also included a storyboard for this script. Even if Zou Wenhuai was not the director, he could clearly think of the finished film. Suddenly, I couldn't help but admire it.

No wonder Tengyue Entertainment has risen so quickly in such a short period of time? What a great screenwriter!

"Mr. Su's conditions?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

"Not much!" Su Cheng held out two fingers and said calmly: "First, our Tengyue Entertainment company needs to invest 30%, and the distribution needs cash buyout. You can just give us an appraisal price. In addition, in North America,

Our company wants it to be released. Secondly, we need Yuan Biao to play a role in it."

The reason why Yuen Biao was allowed to go over was because he and Jackie Chan were brothers, and many crew insiders knew about it. Naturally, Sammo Hung and him also knew about it. Furthermore, he wanted Yuan Biao's reputation to increase as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time.

Paving the way for Hollywood in the future.
