Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"If you are willing to come to our company, I can let you be the director." Xiang Nan said to Wang Jing with a smile.

"Really?" Wang Jing asked in surprise.

In the 1970s, being a director was not an easy task. In Shaw Brothers, everyone pays attention to seniority. If you don't work as an assistant director for a few years, you are not qualified to be a director at all.

And now he hasn't even worked as an assistant director, so he became a director all of a sudden? ! It sounds like a joke.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Xiang Nan laughed.

"Of course not." Wang Jing quickly waved his hand, "I'm just worried that my qualifications are shallow and I'm not competent."

"Hey, it's the 1980s. We are a new generation of young people who are all about breaking the rules and pioneering and innovating. What about seniority? If you want to talk about seniority, I'm still playing tricks. Who dares to use me as the leading actor ?” Xiang Nan laughed.

Shaw Brothers actors also pay attention to seniority, many artists have to go out of their way for a while, playing supporting roles and so on before they become the leading roles.

Di Lung, David Jiang, Yue Hua, Zheng Peipei, etc. are all like this. It is rare for an actor to be the protagonist as soon as he debuts.

Compared with them, Xiang Nan was really lucky. He was the leading role in the first play, became popular in the first play, and never sat on the bench even once.

When Wang Jing heard this, he was also greatly moved, "Mr. Ning, you are so courageous, it is really a blessing for me."

"Then do you dare to come?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

Wang Jing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He is currently working as a screenwriter on TVB. Although he can make some money, he is far behind being a director.

As a director, you can get tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in salary for a film. If you become a famous director in the future, your salary will be doubled directly. In comparison, as a screenwriter, a salary of tens of thousands of yuan is considered high, and no matter how well the script is written, it is just to make others look good.

"Okay, you are welcome to join Real Kungfu." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

...

Wang Jing then resigned, left TVB, and joined Real Kung Fu Films.

Anyway, for him, his father is the chief producer of TVB. If he can't hang around outside, he can go back to wireless. With this relationship as a backing, he naturally didn't mind giving it a go.

In case the bicycle becomes a motorcycle, he will be able to copy it.

"Director Wang, you are welcome to join our real kung fu." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's not too late. Let's hurry up and make a movie. Do you have a good script now?"

Wang Jing nodded, and came up with a few ideas, all of which he had been thinking about.

Xiang Nan took a look and found that most of them were popular kung fu movies, such as "Tiger Swinging Teeth", "Two Treasures Breaking Through Eight Levels", "The Lion King of the North and South" and so on.

This is not what he expected, because Wang Jingben likes to follow suit.

When New Art City's "Chasing Girls" became popular, he made "Chasing Girls in Hardcover"; when Golden Harvest's "Once Upon a Time" series became popular, he made "Once Upon a Time: Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede"; " became popular, so he used the original cast to shoot "Still Pretending to Be Brothers and Difficult Brothers"...

Now that kung fu movies are on fire, he naturally wants to follow suit.

However, Xiang Nan was not very interested in these scripts. With the development of kung fu movies to this day, I dare not say that they are dying and dying, but they are indeed going downhill.

In the final analysis, there are too many people photographed. You shoot it too, and I shoot it too, and the audience will get tired of watching it sooner or later. Therefore, Xiang Nan is not going to make any more kung fu movies.

He picked and picked, and picked one of them, "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants".

This script is the sequel to the popular drama "The King of Thousand Kings" written by Wang Jing. "The King of Thousand Kings", which he wrote earlier this year, was very popular after it was launched on TVB, and the ratings were once high.

Therefore, Wang Jing wrote a movie version of the script and planned to sell it to Shaw Brothers, so that he could eat more fish and earn more money. But before he had time to show it to Shaw Brothers, he was selected by Xiang Nan first.

"Okay, I think this script is good. There are relatively few themes to bet on now, and the audience is looking fresh. I think there will be a market for it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

He has never watched the movie "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", but he knows that Wang Jing's gambling movies are a masterpiece. He believes that Wang Jing can make it well.

Wang Jing nodded.

...

Subsequently, "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" began preparations for filming.

Xiang Nan prepared a budget of 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. At that time, this amount of money was enough to make a movie.

At the same time as the preparations for "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", the filming of "Man Scaring Ghosts" starring Xiang Nanrang and Yuan Biao has also been completed.

Xiang Nan didn't intend to let Golden Harvest release it, so he went to the owner of Kowloon Bus, Lei Juekun.

"Mr. Lei, I've heard of your name for a long time~" he cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Mr. Ning, hello." Lei Juekun couldn't help being a little curious when he saw Xiang Nan coming to visit, "I don't know how I can help you?"

"Yes, Mr. Lei, I know you intend to enter the film industry, and I am also planning to leave Golden Harvest. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with me?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

Lei Juekun was taken aback.

He really wanted to enter the film industry, but he was still in the investigation stage and hadn't released any rumors. He didn't know where Xiang Nan received the news, and he was really well informed.

And Xiang Nan's proposal also made his heart skip a beat. Now Xiang Nan can be said to be the hottest movie star in Xiangjiang. The movies he starred in, "The Prodigal Boy", "The Prodigal Boy", and "Master Dragon" have broken box office records three times, earning tens of millions of box office, more than other stars. Get up even more.

More importantly, these movies are all written, directed and acted by him, which is very powerful. Such a generalist, recruiting one, is enough to revitalize the company.

It is thanks to Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen who are all-rounders, self-written, directed and acted, that Golden Harvest got rid of the oppression of Shaw Brothers and developed stronger.

Therefore, if he has Xiang Nan, he believes that he will also have the opportunity to become the overlord of the Xiangjiang film industry.

"Mr. Ning, are you really willing to cooperate with me?" Lei Juekun asked afterward.

"Mr. Lei, my sincerity is absolutely sufficient." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Okay, let me think about it." Lei Juekun nodded.

...

The news that Xiang Nan went to find Lei Juekun did not hide it from those who cared.

Zou Wenhuai soon received word that Lei Juekun intended to enter the film industry. And Xiang Nan's Real Kung Fu Films was the first company he wanted to incorporate.

Hearing the news, Zou Wenhuai also panicked.

Xiang Nan is now the backbone of Golden Harvest. Although there have been conflicts between the two of them, as said in "The Godfather", business is business.

For businessmen like them, a slap in the face is nothing, as long as there are enough interests, he can even ask Xiang Nan to slap him on the other side of the face.

Just like when Bruce Lee embarrassed him in public, didn't he endure the same.

Moreover, in real life, due to the rapid rise of New Art City, Zou Wenhuai even teamed up with Sir Shao to suppress others.

Although they once strangled you to death, the enemy still chooses to join forces. It can be seen that as long as there are enough interests, enemies can be turned into partners.
