The richest man

Chapter 13 "Drunken Fist"

Not to mention the sinister intentions of Shao Yizhen and the others, they actually created a father-son confrontation scene for the sake of box office.

At this moment, Zhang Jun and Zhang Zhenghao came to Golden Harvest with the completed "Serpentine Hand" for an internal preview.

"Zhang Sheng, I didn't expect you to make a movie so fast. It took 7 days to complete the filming, and in less than 10 days, the entire post-production of a movie was completed..." Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhang Jun and said, muttering in his heart. Can you still watch it? Fortunately, Golden Harvest did not invest.

"The speed is not bad, but I think I can go faster, and maybe I can finish a movie in four or five days in the future. By then, I will truly deserve the title of 'Hong Kong's No. [-] Fast Shooter'." !” Zhang Jun joked with a smile, laughing at himself about the teasing of the media in the past two days.Obviously, he didn't really care.

Zou Wenhuai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed, "Zhang Sheng, the major newspapers and media have been questioning you recently, but you are open-minded!"

"Haha, what else can I do." Zhang Jun smiled lightly. The newspaper controls the public opinion, and he can say more than others with his mouth.

After all, it still depends on the work.

Everyone chatted, and soon came to the screening room.

Several Golden Harvest executives including Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchong all came to watch the film.

The crew member, Zhang Jun also brought Cheng Long, the leading actor, over.

After everyone was seated, the lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed, and then the big screen began to play "The Snake-Shaped Hand". The first thing that appeared was the very simple logo of "Zhang's Film Industry", which was directly capitalized.

There is no way to make the opening LOGO too simple. On the one hand, time is tight, and on the other hand, if you want to make a good-looking opening LOGO, you must spend money.However, Zhang's Pictures is very poor now, and everything they do is carefully calculated, so it is naturally impossible to spend money on this.

As the plot of the movie unfolded, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud at Cheng Long's humorous fighting scenes. Some daily utensils, such as benches, bowls and chopsticks, and washbasins, can be used as weapons, and they are like juggling , It's very funny, when you run away, you get into your crotch to avoid disaster, jump up and down, it's not serious at all, it's not the demeanor that a hero should have at all.

However, it happened to be such an action design that made everyone laugh.

During the film screening, there was almost constant laughter.

After more than an hour, the movie ended.

When the lights were turned on in the screening room, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchong and others were shocked, and couldn't help admiring Zhang Jun's director ability and screenwriting level.

"Zhang Sheng, this movie is well shot, especially the humorous action design. I heard that you drew the sub-shots when you wrote the script and focused on designing these actions?!" Zou Wenhuai asked curiously.

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile: "Yes, because I think traditional martial arts films are relatively outdated. Hong Kong films need some new ideas, and kung fu comedies should have a great market!"

Zou Wenhuai was noncommittal when he heard the words.

But he is still very optimistic about this "Snake-shaped Diao Shou", and at the same time he has an idea in his heart, if "Snake-Shape Diao" is successful, Jiahe can also try to make a kung fu comedy.

A group of people walked out of the screening hall, and then discussed the details of the film's release in the office, and finally decided to release it on August 8.At that time, Golden Harvest will provide 25 movie theaters to show "The Serpentine Hand".

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Golden Harvest began to promote "The Snake-shaped Hand", and at the same time announced the release date of "The Snake-shaped Hand".

After Shao Brothers received the news, they immediately accelerated the post-production of "Wudang Heroes", and immediately announced that the film "Wudang Heroes" directed by Zhang Jun's father, Zhang Zhenghao, would be released on August 8.

Once Shao's news was announced, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

"Hahaha, Shaw Brothers is going to do something, father and son confrontation, it's so fucking interesting! I also want to know, whether Zhang Jun's "Snake-shaped Hand" is better, or his father Zhang Zhenghao's "Wudang "Heroes" is good-looking, who has the higher box office?" A melon-eating crowd reading a newspaper had a mean smile on his face.

The people of Hong Kong are talking about it, and some casinos even set up gambling games for this purpose.

Naturally, the movie "Wudang Heroes" attracted widespread attention, and Shaw Brothers couldn't help but be very satisfied.

……

At this moment, Zhang Jun's complexion was slightly unsightly.

This fucking Shaw Brothers film company is too dishonest, for the sake of the box office, and to snipe at itself, they did this.

"The Serpentine Hand" is sure to be popular!
If "Wudang Heroes" is defeated, Dad will lose face.

Son hits father?
Damn, the major newspapers will definitely not let go of such good news material.

Zhang Jun yelled shamelessly at Shaw in his heart.

What if "Wudang Heroes" hits the street?

Zhang Jun glanced at his father Zhang Zhenghao's equally unsightly expression, and thought about it, he had to quickly write a movie script for his father that could be a big hit for him to shoot.

Come on, Cheng Long's next movie "Drunken Master" will be handed over to Dad. The box office of this movie is higher than "Serpentine Hands", and it has even entered the RB market and won 19 billion yen Good grades!
"Dad, Shaw Brothers Film Company has sinister intentions!" Zhang Jun scolded, "But we don't need to worry about these, just make our own movies. Even if "Wudang Heroes" hits the market, it's not yours The problem is the script. By the way, dad, I just thought of a good idea, if it is made into a movie, it will definitely be more popular than "Snake-shaped Hands."

Zhang Zhenghao read the newspaper analyzing how he and his son were, and who was more powerful, and he was feeling depressed, because he knew in his heart that "Wudang Heroes" would definitely not be able to compare with "Serpentine Hand".Doesn't this mean that a father is not as good as a son?Where is his old face?

"What good idea did you think of?" Zhang Zhenghao couldn't help asking, he was still rather curious about his son's whimsical ideas.The previous "Zhu Xian" and the subsequent "Serpentine Hand" have undoubtedly proved that Zhang Jun's ability to make up stories is very strong.

Zhang Jun smiled and said: "This is also a kung fu comedy called "Drunken Master". The story of how he stalked and defeated the big villain who came to his house to kick the gym..."

After speaking, Zhang Jun began to introduce in detail based on the plot of the movie he had seen in his previous life.

After Zhang Zhenghao listened, he felt that the play of "Drunken Master" was very similar to "Snake-shaped Diao Hand", almost passed down from generation to generation.

At this time, Zhang Jun took the opportunity to say: "Dad, "Drunken Master" and "Serpentine Hand" are both of the same type, so I leave it to you to shoot. I have already filmed "Serpentine" before." "Hand", and I have almost no motivation to make similar movies! I am going to try new genres, such as ghost comedy ghost movies!"

For the supernatural comedy ghost film, Zhang Jun is talking about "Happy Ghost". This movie is low-cost, high-grossing, and easy to shoot. It is very suitable for him to shoot.

Zhang Zhenghao is also really interested in the movie "Drunken Master", after a little consideration, he agreed: "Okay, I will shoot the movie "Drunken Master"!"

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, "Well, then I'll start writing the script later, after "Serpentine" is released, Dad, you can start preparing the crew!"

"Snake-shaped Diao Hand" almost spent Zhang Jun's manuscript fee, but once the film is released, it will definitely sell well at the box office.At that time, whether it is to ask Golden Harvest to get a part of the box office share first, or to ask for a bank loan, they will be able to raise a sum of money.

Therefore, the funding problem for filming "Drunken Master" is not a big one.
