The richest man

Chapter 1 It is impossible to make a movie

1973, summer.

Zhang Jun returned from the University of Southern California.

Zhang Jun will never admit that he came back because TVB held the first Miss Hong Kong election.

If people find out about this, wouldn't it mean that he is lustful?But luckily no one will know...

In the scorching sun, Shaw Studios in Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong is still busy.Zhang Jun is working as an assistant director for his father, director Zhang Zhenghao, and is currently filming a low-cost martial arts drama.

Zhang Jun is too embarrassed to mention how low the cost is.

In addition, the script is old-fashioned. The protagonist is bullied and humiliated at the beginning, then learns martial arts cheats to practice miraculous skills, and finally defeats a powerful enemy after going through hardships and succeeds in revenge.

All in all, Zhang Jun couldn't get a little bit excited about this movie, and his thoughts had already drifted to TVB.

This year's Miss Hong Kong election has a future star - Zhao Yazhi.

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but feel distracted, so he didn't even have the heart to make movies.As soon as the crew took a break, he immediately came to his father to ask for leave.

"Dad, I heard that TVB is holding the Miss Hong Kong election, do you think I can take time off to watch the competition live?"

however……

With a "bang", Zhang Zhenghao knocked on the back of Zhang Jun's head, and said with a straight face, "Watch the Miss Hong Kong election! If you don't learn how to be a director, you will know that you want women all day long!"

Zhang Jun touched the back of his head, it really hurt, seeing his father walking away, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "What, who misses women all the time? Besides, what's wrong with thinking about women, don't you want to be a grandfather? !"

"What are you still dawdling about, brat? Why don't you hurry up and start working!" Zhang Zhenghao walked to the director's chair and was about to sit down, but seeing Zhang Jun still standing there, he shouted loudly.

"Ang, I see~"

Zhang Jun hurriedly responded, walked to the shooting scene, and began to check whether the makeup, costumes, and props were accurate.

Alas, it is impossible to work part-time. Boss Shao’s salary is too low, and the assistant director only pays 1000 Hong Kong dollars. What a fucking stingy~
Zhang Jun sighed while working, thinking that he still wanted to make money, "Drunk lying on the lap of a beautiful woman, wake up and take power in the world" This is my brother's dream!
……

……

It is absolutely fine to say that Hong Kong people like to see beautiful women.

Since TVB held the Miss Hong Kong election, the ratings of the TV station have soared a lot.

Recently, the most talked-about topic among Hong Kong people is which contestant is beautiful, well-educated, and able to be elected Miss Hong Kong.

At night, Zhang Jun dragged his exhausted body back to this 80-square-meter home.

Ordinarily, more than 80 square meters is not too small in Hong Kong, but the family has a large population. In addition to Zhang Jun, there are also Zhang Jun's parents, brother and sister.

Now it is possible to squeeze, but once you find a partner, it will be very inconvenient at home...

Zhang Jun was very worried about this, he felt like his hair was falling out!
Still have to make money and buy a big house!
Zhang Jun came to the desk, after a moment of contemplation, he picked up the pen, and began to write vigorously in the notebook.

Uh, that speed is slightly faster than the great writer Ni Kuang's 4500 words per hour. Without being single for 20 years, it is absolutely impossible to practice!
And Zhang Jun happens to be 20 years old this year and has never been in a relationship.

But Zhang Jun has a "little secret", that is, he is from the 21st century.

I won't mention the original name, anyway, no one will pay attention.

but……

This is a super dead house.

Staying at home all day playing games, watching movies, reading novels, listening to music, and reading news online, I haven't even had a serious girlfriend.

After time-traveling, he changed his past, and decided to talk to his girlfriend a little more...

At this moment, Zhang Jun was quick-witted and inspired like a fountain. After a long time, he finally put down the pen!

I opened the script and looked at it, good guy, but I saw this sentence written at the beginning: ""Snake-shaped Hands", starring Cheng Long."

The following is the detailed content of the script, including some humorous action designs with Cheng Long's characteristics.

"After thinking about it, Cheng Long is the only one who is still a martial artist. If you hire him to make a movie, it won't cost you much money. Moreover, this movie is Cheng Long's famous work, with low cost and high box office!" Zhang Jun said to himself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Zhenghao also came back.

"Dad, I have something to discuss with you!" Zhang Jun said very seriously with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhenghao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

He walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Dad, I wrote you a script." Zhang Jun replied.

"Oh, let's take a look!" Zhang Zhenghao was very interested, and he also wanted to see how his son's screenwriting skills were.

"Here, this is it." Zhang Jun said while handing the script to Zhang Zhenghao.

"Serpentine Hand"?action movie…

Zhang Zhenghao nodded secretly, the selection of themes in the script is not bad, and martial arts movies are quite popular recently.

Seven and eight minutes passed.

Zhang Zhenghao put down the script and was very surprised. The martial arts films like "Serpentine Hands" are very different from the current traditional martial arts films. The main difference lies in the humorous actions of the protagonist.

Zhang Zhenghao couldn't help thinking about it carefully, and felt that such a witty and humorous martial arts movie looked very interesting, and it might become popular...

"Dad, what do you think of the script?" Zhang Jun asked.

"The script is well written and ingenious. I can recommend it to Boss Shao."

"No, no, dad, let's go to Golden Harvest Film Company!" Zhang Jun immediately shook his head, "Give the script to Shaw Brothers, at most we can earn some salary and script fee, and how much is the script fee?"

Zhang Jun dismissed it, Boss Shao is too picky, when will my brother be able to afford a big house!

"But if we go to talk about cooperation with Golden Harvest and the film is shown in Golden Harvest Cinemas, then think about it, if this movie becomes popular, how much money can we make?"

"Dad, you don't want to work for Boss Shao all your life, do you? Look at how many movies you have made for Shaw Brothers and how much money you have earned. They live in a mansion of ten thousand feet, but you are still squeezed in such a small Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be in a house like this?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenghao fell silent for a moment, feeling a little heavy in his heart. Zhang Jun's words obviously hit his heart.

Zhang Jun struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I calculated the cost of the movie "The Snake Shaped Hand". Let's not invite a big star, just invite a newcomer to play the leading role. The total cost will not be 20 Hong Kong dollars."

"Furthermore, Golden Harvest has not established itself for a short period of time, and Bruce Lee has just passed away. Golden Harvest has been hit hard and suffered heavy losses. If we cooperate with Golden Harvest, we will definitely be taken seriously. We don't have to worry about the film not being screened in Golden Harvest theaters!"

"By the way, Dad, I've even thought of the name of the film company we're going to set up, it's called Zhang's Films!!!"

The two founders of Golden Harvest are both from Shaw Brothers, and they became independent in 1970. Shaw Brothers is still the dominant one.

Zhang Jun's thinking is absolutely fine. The Xu brothers will not switch to Golden Harvest until next year. It can be said that Golden Harvest is currently out of favor.

Hearing Zhang Jun's proposal, Zhang Zhenghao was quite moved in his heart.In fact, he couldn't bear Boss Shao's stinginess.

So after careful consideration, Zhang Zhenghao finally made a decision. He patted the table and said in a deep voice, "Okay! I've decided, let's go to Jiahe!!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help laughing, and nodded secretly.

That's it!

One step closer to the big house dream.
