The Century-Old Family Began To Rise From Hong Kong Island
Chapter 59 With A Gun On His Head, Will You Make This Movie? [Four More, Please Subscribe! 】
The movie [Tianya Sword] starring Lin Hanxiang was released, and it was really a mess as Sir Shao expected.
The attendance rate was less than 30%, word of mouth collapsed, and the audience scolded him for shit.
To scold Lin Hanxiang for playing a suave young hero in the movie is simply disgusting.
With an investment of 5 million yuan, the movie only won 800,000 yuan at the box office, and Sir Shao would vomit blood for the loss.
Shaw employees are also affected by this!
At noon, in a food stall, little fat man Wang Jing was having dinner with some friends, all of them were employees of Shaw Brothers, and ten of them were moaning and scolding Lin Hanxiang.
This bastard made them miserable!
"I've seen that Lin is not a good guy. He came late and left early to play big names, and secretly harassed actresses. If the director didn't look at him, I would have beaten him up."
"You don't pay for whoring ducks, this bastard really makes a fool of himself, does Wandao sell such things?"
"Hey! It's fine for him to kill himself, but he also implicates us!"
"I heard from my old man today that the next movie will be out, and the company's movies will become less and less in the future." Wang Jing said with a wry smile and shook his head.
Hearing this, several other people were immediately unhappy and shouted.
"How can we do that? What are we going to eat if we don't turn it on? How many people in the family are still waiting for me to raise?"
"That's right! My mother is still on the hospital bed, so she can count on my salary."
"Go back and tell your old man, the movie can't be stopped!"
But Wang Jing patted the table and said: "This is what Uncle Six means. My dad is a director and works. It doesn't count if he says it!"
"In my opinion, the [Tianya Sword] caused the company to lose five million yuan. Uncle Liu must be dying of heartache, and he won't be so happy to use money to make movies in the future!"
"Hey~"
At the wine table, everyone looked downcast and dejected.
Shaw's shutdown, they have no income, how to support a large family?
Looks like there's another way out!
Just when these people scolded Lin Hanxiang and complained about Shao Laogou, they found that the noise in the food stall suddenly disappeared.
Everyone turned their heads in amazement, only to see a group of young and Dangerous boys appearing in front of the door at some point.
There were more than a dozen people, all wearing black clothes, and they looked not to be messed with at first sight, Wang Jing and others lowered their voices one after another.
"Are you a bit unfamiliar? Which club do they belong to?"
"No, they're here!"
Wang Jing and the others were surprised to find that this group of club members came towards them, and all of them were staring at them.
Bad intentions!
Everyone in Wang Jing began to get nervous, but suddenly they heard the young and Dangerous boy in the lead shout.
"Who is Johnnie To?"
To Qifeng?
Wang Jing was a little dazed, and looked at a young man sitting next to him, with an ordinary appearance and a little gentleness.
He is Du Qifeng, who was previously Wang Jing's assistant and Wang Jing's senior brother. He just made his first movie a while ago, and the box office results were mediocre.
Now I heard that Shaw Brothers is going to reduce the production of films, and like everyone else, they are sighing and worrying about their own future!
Hearing these community members call his name suddenly, Du Qifeng was a little confused, and even more frightened, he and the community rarely interacted!
Seeing that everyone was looking at one person, Ah Tian knew that this was the person he wanted to find
"Who wants to see me?" Du Qifeng asked nervously, it's definitely not a good thing to be taken away by these gangsters.
I thought of some rumors I heard before. Some people offended the association and were taken away to be buried alive or reclamated into the sea.
But I don't seem to have offended anyone recently, right?
Du Qifeng's face turned pale, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Of course you'll know when we get there!" Ah Tian snorted softly, and after waving his hands, the two younger brothers stepped forward to take Du Qifeng away.
All of a sudden, the people who drank with Du Qifeng were unwilling, and playing together naturally required loyalty.
"Hey, which club do you belong to? Why do you take people away?"
"Aren't you afraid that the police will arrest you if you rob people in broad daylight?"
"Our Shaw Brothers studio is right next door, we've already gone back to call people, don't be arrogant!"
After these people drank, they blushed and their necks were thick, and they picked up the benches, wine bottles and everything, because they had a posture of going to a big fight.
But Ah Tian was unmoved, took out a gun from behind, and said with a disdainful smile: "What did you just say? There are many of you?"
"Forehead…"
gun?
All of a sudden, everyone's complexion changed, and they suddenly lost their temper. They were so passionate, one by one, like eggplants beaten by frost, they were speechless.
No amount of people can stop a gun!
No one wants to sacrifice their own life for a colleague!
Du Qifeng was dumbfounded, his heart trembled uncontrollably, Wang Jing was also dumbfounded, but the more he looked at Ah Tian, the more familiar he looked.
Finally remembered.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"We're all friends, there's no need to use guns and knives for some trivial matters!" Zai Jing said with a cheap smile.
"Brother, do you still remember? Blue foreign wine! Me~" Wang Jing tried his best to get close to A Tian.
Looking at this chubby face, Ah Tian also remembered.
"It looks familiar! That fake director who wants to pick on our boss, is it you?" Ah Tian said bluntly.
Wang Jing shuddered, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Okay, it's none of your business today, let Du Qifeng come with us." A Tianmin said.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"
Wang Jing and the others were helpless, and Du Qifeng could only follow A Tian and the others as if resigned to fate.
As soon as they left, Wang Jing and others quickly ran back to the set, calling for help, and then looking for someone to use their connections to find a way to get Du Qifeng back!
Su Shaoze is speechless!
He asked Ah Tian to find a director named Du Qifeng, but he didn't expect that Ah Tian finally tied him back with a gun!
Su Shaoze thought about the next ten years, during the golden age of Hong Kong film in the 1980s and 1990s, many societies entered the film industry one after another.
It is not uncommon to put guns on the heads of actors and force them to film. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and the actors have suffered greatly.
Su Shaoze didn't expect that he would also be a villain this time!
The reputation in the film industry may not be very good in the future, but Su Shaoze doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't plan to become friends with those actors, except of course his own woman!
It's not a good thing to be respected blindly, you have to be feared.
Su Shaoze just let them launder money for him!
In the bar, looking at Du Qifeng who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, looking very nervous, Su Shaoze handed him a cigarette and poured him a glass of wine himself.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, my subordinates are ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you on their behalf!" Su Shaoze said with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Du Qifeng hurriedly got up and waved his hands and said [I'm so scared.
The young man on the opposite side looked a few years younger than himself, and a bit more handsome than the current popular stars, but Du Qifeng didn't dare to push him too hard.
Even cautiously, fearfully!
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Su Shaoze!" Su Shaoze introduced himself.
"Young Master Su, hello!" Du Qifeng said hastily.
Su Shaoze smiled lightly, and didn't care about these titles, but said: "Today I take the liberty to invite Director Du here because there is a movie that I want Director Du to be the director of.
"Of course, I will pay as much as I deserve. I, Su Shaoze, will not be as stingy as Sir Shao."
After Su Shaoze finished speaking, Du Qifeng was stunned.
He didn't expect that these club members 'tied' him to make a movie for him!
"Well, what you said is true? Ask me to make a movie?" Du Qifeng said in disbelief.
He is a newcomer and has only made one movie. He doesn't understand why Su Ze chose him.
But now Shaw Brothers is about to stop working, and his next film is still far away. If he can continue to be a director and make films, Johnny To is of course very willing.
The only thing I worry about is the identity of the investor, the underworld!
But if Su Shaoze knows his worry, he will only laugh at him as a fool!
You know, throughout the 1980s and 1990s on Hong Kong Island, more than half of the investment in filming came from associations, which were not very clean.
I don't see how many of those directors have backbone!
Seeing that Johnnie To was still hesitant, Su Shaoze continued: ".This time I plan to invest 5 million to shoot a most realistic and exciting science fiction movie."
"If Director Du is willing to direct, you will get a salary of 200,000 yuan!"
After Su Shaoze finished speaking, Du Qifeng opened his eyes wide, and kept recalling a few key words in his mind.
"Sci-fi movie, five million, two hundred thousand~"
Five million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie is definitely a big investment in this era, and being able to become the director of such a big production is simply too attractive to Johnnie To.
Moreover, sci-fi films are also a genre that all directors dare not touch, because if there is not enough funds, there is no way to make a sci-fi feel.
This time, someone unexpectedly spent five million yuan to make a sci-fi film, Du Qifeng's heartbeat began to speed up.
What's more important is the 200,000 yuan salary!
One must know that Du Qifeng has only just made a movie, so he is considered a newcomer.
For the first movie, he didn't have any salary at all, and he only got a basic salary of several thousand yuan. Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was a sky-high price for him!
And Du Qifeng had no choice.
The person opposite him (Liao Wang's) is a mafia tycoon, and the conditions are so generous, if you still don't agree, will you look down on him?
Johnnie To was worried that he would not be able to get out of this bar!
"Okay, I'll take this movie. Since Young Master Su thinks highly of me, Du Qifeng, then I must work my hardest to make the movie well." Du Qifeng said firmly.
"Okay, I believe in Director Du's strength!" Su Shaoze laughed and raised his glass.
Du Qifeng also hastily got up and touched Su Shaoze, and drank it down!
Then Su Shaoze began to arrange: "You set up the crew first, the funds will be in place soon, and I will arrange for the heroine!"
Du Qifeng nodded quickly, but secretly said in his heart: "This heroine must have a lot of connections with Young Master Su, so she must be careful in the future!"
The two roles of investor and heroine are simply the makers of scandals.
Du Qifeng is not a fool, he must understand that Su Shaolong is a woman who spends money to praise him!
The feudal lords of Fenghuo opera only smile for the beauties, this kind of thing is too normal now!
He thought to himself, even if that aunt had a particularly bad temper and was particularly difficult to serve, he still had to endure it!
But on the surface, he said: "Young Master Su, don't worry, the Shaw Brothers is about to stop working now, and many people have no jobs. If you bring some people over, you can build a good crew, and you can also rent the Shaw Brothers' filming equipment."
"Well, the crew will leave it to you. This is the script. Take it back and read it carefully." Su Shaoze took out a stack of printing paper.
There are three large characters written on the top cover.
Terminator!.
