I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 81 Chapter 7980 Two in one, 1981 (on shelves, please subscribe)

Sorry, I can't drive the 82-year Lafite, only the 78-year-old...

Zhang Guobin may consider hoarding a batch of 82 Lafite.

same year.

The Xiangjiang movie world is even more chaotic.

The two movies of Prince Bin became popular and pocketed [-] million.

Is anyone in the Xiangjiang Club envious?"Yongsheng" under Xinji, "Changhui" of Number Gang, "Agni" of Shenghe... more than a dozen film companies with community backgrounds began to use all kinds of tough methods to hire stars/directors to make films. Movies, and then use the box office appeal of stars/directors to defraud the box office of the movie market.

They can't be the second "Prince Brother", but they can be villains who destroy the market and make bad money!
……

"Crack!" Huang Zhiming slapped a copy of "Film Biweekly" on the table, lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and cursed loudly: "Mother Dio Lei, a rotten red stick from an association, finally started to look like a dog." Pretend to be gentle."

"What do movie magazines call him?"

"The prince of the film industry!" Huang Zhiming breathed out with the strength of alcohol, "The prince of the film industry? Could it be that he can still be the emperor of the film industry?"

If it weren't for the effect of alcohol to stimulate consciousness, Huang Zhiming would never show his fear of Zhang Guobin in front of his subordinates, but Zhang Guobin finally started to walk on the road that Huang Zhiming was most afraid of. Du Zhenghui, Li Yongli and other police officers surrounded the meal Drinking and having dinner, drinking beer, with a silent expression.

Zhang Guobin, the cover character of the first issue of "Film Biweekly" in 1981.

In the first six months since his debut, he has produced three films with a box office of tens of millions. "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Happy Ghost" all set off a movie-watching frenzy.

Founded Universal DreamWorks Film Company, broke through the dilemma of the Hong Kong film industry in the late 70s, successfully jumped out of the quagmire of kung fu movies, and brought a new wave of Hong Kong film...

"Movie Biweekly" gave Zhang Guobin's films a high rating, and the company gave him a very high evaluation. At the end of the article, he was called the prince of the film industry. I don't know if he was alluding to Zhang Guobin's club status or touting Zhang Guobin's film potential. There are many ways!Huang Zhiming obviously read all the reports about Zhang Guobin.

Du Zhenghui was wearing a white shirt, put down his wine glass, and yelled: "Fuck the prince of the film industry, he is a scumbag, he will be arrested and imprisoned sooner or later!"

"By the way, is there any news from Sir Zhong of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division?" Huang Zhiming asked suddenly.

Du Zhenghui shook his head: "Nothing."

"Sir Zhong investigated the accounts of Prince Bin's two films and found no major problems, but Sir Zhong reassures you that he will always keep an eye on the operation of Universal DreamWorks."

"There are also those two factories and shops."

Huang Zhiming nodded: "On the business side, I can only trouble Sir Zhong first."

"I don't believe that a young and Dangerous boy is doing legitimate business. He really wants to do righteous business. Dogs can't change eating shit. Maybe there is some dirty deal behind it."

"Forget it, let's have a New Year's dinner today, don't talk about business."

"Come and have a drink..."

"I wish you all a smooth and successful next year and make great achievements."

"Sir Wen from the Criminal Intelligence Division will come over later... He has handled several cases recently, and he will be promoted to inspector next year. You should learn more from him. In the future, we will need his help in handling cases..."

Huang Zhiming raised his glass.

But Du Zhenghui stood up holding his wine glass, and said in a loud voice: "May we eradicate Yihai Club next year! Get rid of Prince Bin!"

"The most important thing is safety..."

Huang Zhiming sighed.

……

In 1981, the Hong Kong Film Awards had not yet been established. Zhang Guobin was not very interested in being on the cover of "Movie Fortnightly". It is also known as the predecessor of the Academy Awards, but after all, it is just a new magazine that has just been published, and its influence is general.

There was no special film magazine on Hong Kong Island before, which made the "Film Biweekly" come up with a bit of fame.

The "Film Biweekly" itself is more similar to a critical magazine, often commenting and criticizing the shortcomings of some films, but it may be due to Zhang Guobin's status as a social organization, and he used his title of "Prince of the Film Industry" to insinuate others. community background.

Zhang Guobin chuckled and made a note secretly.

……

The seventh day of the first month.

Peninsula Hotel, Ballroom.

Golden Harvest Company year-end dinner.

Zhang Guobin arrived at the entrance of the hotel in a Mercedes limousine, wearing a black suit as usual. After the greeter trotted forward and opened the door, he led Zhu Baoyi in a white dress to get out of the car slowly.

The two entered the hotel hand in hand, and immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the banquet hall. There were familiar Zou Huaiwen, Wu Yusen, etc...

There are also Cheng Long and Sammo Hung who have never met face to face.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Guobin walked forward with Zhu Baoyi on his arm and greeted his host, Zou Huaiwen, and immediately walked among the actors and directors with a glass of wine, looking for his favorite candidates for the next movie.

Zhang Guobin already has his own heart.

That was the sole purpose of his coming to the dinner party.

……

"Mr. Zhang, I have paid attention to the "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" produced by you. There are many novel speeding action scenes in this movie."

"I'm very interested in this kind of action drama."

Two days later.

Peninsula Hotel.

Zhang Guobin and Cheng Long sat opposite each other.

Zhang Guobin picked up his coffee cup and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you are interested in speeding scenes, the new movie can tailor one for you."

"Mr. Cheng is a kung fu superstar, so he has to consider safety issues. I'm afraid no insurance company will dare to accept the order for flying the car himself. The risk is too high. It is recommended to use a substitute instead."

"I never use a double when I make movies." Cheng Long said proudly.

At least he doesn't now.

Zhang Guobin curled his lips: "OK, then with Mr. Cheng's driving skills, he can't shoot speeding scenes for the time being. There is a compromise method, which is to design some action scenes during the car chase."

"Action scene in a car chase?"

Cheng Long nodded slightly, and began to build movements in his head, thinking about the picture, the more he thought about it, the more exciting it felt.

Last year, Cheng Long's "Junior and Brother" won the first [-] million box office in Hong Kong Island, and became the most popular Kung Fu star in the Hong Kong film industry.If the former Zhang Guobin went to cooperate with Cheng Long, Cheng Long might not be easily tempted. Even if he agreed, the negotiation process would be very difficult and there would be no profit.

However, Zhang Guobin now holds three movies with a box office of tens of millions. To put it arrogantly, he has never made a movie with a box office of less than [-] million!It is much easier to talk about cooperation with Cheng Long, and Cheng Long went to Hollywood to develop with the full support of Golden Harvest after filming "Junior Brother", and filmed "Killer Trench" in an effort to open up overseas markets, but he rushed to the street miserably. Golden Harvest's tens of millions of production costs were wasted, and Golden Harvest's vitality was seriously injured.

Right now, Cheng Long is striving to transform Kung Fu movies!

To put it bluntly, "Junior and Brother" is still an old-fashioned kung fu movie.
It's just that Cheng Long discovered his personal style,
Cause a hit.

Therefore, he was very interested in the "cops and gangster movies" Zhang Guobin talked about. The two had a chat at the Golden Harvest Dinner and they had the intention of cooperating. After two days, they sat together to plan a new movie.

This year, Zhang Guobin plans to use Cheng Long to make action movies to make money. As for the "Patriotic Line", he will use other overseas movies with low box office, high reputation, and topical movies as a bridge to build the line. After all, Cheng Long's overseas box office revenue is a big one, let alone the leftists. Theaters didn't necessarily like the earliest cop films.

Cheng Long paid great attention to the tone of his speech to Mr. Zhang,
no way.

He is afraid!

Although Xiangjiang martial arts is also very group, Cheng Long has the famous Cheng family class, but the martial arts group is even more group!

In the final analysis, martial arts is selling kung fu, but clubs are really selling their lives!
Cheng Long has already heard Mr. Sammo Hung talk about Mr. Zhang's club background.

How dare you provoke me now?

You know, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have many well-known movie stars recently, and the directors have been invited by club bosses to drink tea and chat, and the movie world is in chaos.

Boss Shao and Boss Zou dealt with each other to adjust human affairs, which cost a lot of connections and money, and the benefits were actually not great.

Even some popular stars and directors.

The two bosses both turned a blind eye, closed one eye, and asked to leave as well.

Don't give me a penny, don't hit people, just save some face...

And Boss Zhang sitting in front of him is the first gangster who made a movie with the power of an association, and he is still making a lot of money, with three consecutive masterpieces worth tens of millions. How dare he provoke such a person?

Cheng Long didn't dare to offend Zhang Guobin's Universal DreamWorks, but asking him to make a film is not something that can be solved in a few words. In fact, Zhang Guobin's "cop action movie" hit his mind and hooked him hard.

At present, Xiangjiang has produced a large number of crime-type movies, the main selling point of which is blood and crime.

The violent aesthetics expressed in "The True Colors of Heroes" is already a kind of sublimation, and the expression of socially sensitive issues in "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" is even more of an improvement...

However, Xiangjiang seldom made films with police as the protagonists before.

"The True Colors of a Hero" can be regarded as a step forward, at least there are policemen in the supporting role, and a young and Dangerous boy, but others dare not make police movies, sorry, young and Dangerous is the bravest!He dares!

With the police as the protagonist, punishing evil and promoting good is indeed a very good movie theme. First, it can create many action scenes and continue Kung Fu movies in a new form. Second, it can shoot many big scenes and establish a leading role. Positive impact, three-energy filming of social issues, pros and cons, etc...

It's hard for Cheng Long to refuse!

The script given by Zhang Guobin this time is not "Police Story", but "Plan A".First of all, "Project A" itself is a successful movie, and secondly, in order to bind Cheng Long's cooperation with DreamWorks, there is no need to bombard Wang for the first time. Finally, the production cost of "Project A" is higher than that of "Police Story". "Low, the first cooperation can make more money.

If Cheng Long refuses to continue to cooperate with DreamWorks after cooperating with "Project A", DreamWorks will transfer the scripts of the "Police Story" series to the leather bag company and invite stars to make bad movies, ruining Cheng Long's transformation. Although it may not necessarily cause much hindrance to Cheng Long, at least it can disgust him.

There is no way, this series of films "Cheng Long" is indeed an irreplaceable soul, both as the leading actor and director, in perfect Cheng Long's style.

Zhang Guobin must find him to cooperate!
After several times of thinking, Cheng Long nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can go into battle myself."

"However, the flying car scene in "Project A" is not suitable for the main character. How about flying a bicycle? Jumping off a building, and punching, it's almost there." Zhang Guobin laughed: "If you must speed, then I will arrange for you to fly a police car."

"Flying bicycle?" Cheng Long frowned, showing fear: "Will this be too bold?"

"Don't be bold, don't be bold, it's normal for the police to fly the police car." Zhang Guobin stirred the coffee with a spoon, lowered his head and showed a slight smile.

Originally, he planned to design a bus scene similar to that in Police Story, but it doesn’t matter if you think about flying one or two police cars. There are so many scrapped police cars in the Hong Kong Police Department. Besides, to make a police movie, you must have a good relationship with the General Administration, and you will inevitably spend some money. money, develop contacts.

What's the matter?

Young and Dangerous can't drink tea with the police?
cannot?

Hello!Who said I was young and Dangerous, I was a serious businessman!

Zhang Guobin didn't think it was difficult to get through the relationship with the police department at all.

After all, it is in the interests of the police department to make police movies and promote a positive image of the police.

It's your business to catch young and Dangerous boys, and the public relations department needs to do publicity and it's the performance of the public relations department... One talks to the prince, and the other talks to Boss Zhang, no conflict!Can you still stop it?
Filming in Hong Kong does not require police approval, but police films do, but you are not afraid of the police, so why are you afraid of making police films?

Movies about police and gangsters in Xiangjiang are the code of wealth. Zhang Guobin opened a film company, and it is impossible not to make police movies. Since sooner or later, it is a good thing to open up relationships early.

After listening to Zhang Guobin's explanation, Cheng Long smiled wryly and said, "Zhang Sheng, what you said is so right, I can't refute it."

"Yes, let's shoot, don't hesitate." Zhang Guobin picked up his coffee cup and took a sip of coffee: "The script of this movie will be sent to you tomorrow."

"The box office share, the actor's remuneration, everything is a bit more than Golden Harvest, and the production fee is covered by DreamWorks. If you are happy, you will be the director. If you are not happy, I will direct."

"If you are happy, you choose an actor. If you are not happy, I will choose for you. How about it?" Zhang Guobin said word by word, his tone was unhurried, but firm and powerful. In all fairness, the conditions are very good.

"Thank you Zhang Sheng, I will give you an answer after watching the movie tomorrow." Cheng Long raised his teacup and drank his tea with his head down.

In fact, he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to shoot "Project A", but he had to support a group of people from Cheng's family and a group of martial artists by his side, so he couldn't make a decision in a hurry.

To be honest, Cheng Long is very good to the brothers.

Probably also from the lower class, experienced hard work, abided by the rules of martial arts, and showed loyalty.

He also admired Zhang Guobin's straightforward style, and immediately said: "But don't worry, Mr. Zhang, if we can't cooperate, we are also friends."

"Hehe." Zhang Guobin chuckled twice.

There are many ways to have one more friend in the rivers and lakes, but now is the time to talk about interests, don't talk about friends, it is not easy to talk about interests between friends, if you want his friends, you must first learn to work hard for him.

"I'm waiting for your answer."

Zhang Guobin finished his coffee and put down his cup.

Suddenly, Cheng Long remembered a friend who was invited to make a movie, and sighed: "If all the bosses who want to make a movie do the same thing as Mr. Zhang, take the movie seriously, and earn money based on their ability, how good would it be?"

"Our mixed martial arts is just a way to eat."

"No one wants to risk their lives."

Zhang Guobin's eyes flickered, and he probably heard Cheng Long's intentions, but he didn't follow up. The world is very chaotic now, so let's not interfere if we can.

He earns money hard, so don't interfere with his affairs.

No one can force him to make a move.

Unless his patriotism is to be tested.

Seeing that the discussion was over, Zhang Guobin decided to arrange some programs that men would like. He immediately closed his suit, stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, I asked my brothers to arrange some pretty items in the venue, are you interested in having a sauna together? "

"Not good... Boss Zhang..." Cheng Long suddenly hesitated, but his face was full of excitement, and his butt almost left the chair. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have picked up his jacket.

Zhang Guobin narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Aaron, everyone is a man..."

"That's right, we're just playing a game that men all over the world can play..." Cheng Long no longer refused, and stood up with a smile.

the next day.

Before the script of "Project A" was sent out, Cheng Long called and agreed to participate.

　Junzi is handicapped, he made a mistake in the previous operation, and the 80 chapters are even more wrong. Now 79/80 is combined into one chapter, let the brothers spend 10 coins to watch 4k!
