Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 101 Watching Movies

February 2th, New Year's Eve.

Same as last year, after the "New Year's Eve dinner", everyone in the Su residence went to the cinema except for a few "elders" who were unwilling to move.

This can be regarded as a "custom characteristic" of the "Su family".

I didn't go to see the two films "Pry the Corner" and "The Frog Prince" produced by Tengyue Entertainment.Instead, I went to the Golden Princess Cinema to watch the movie "Pointing Fingers" jointly produced by Darong Film Company and Binbin Film Company.

The director of this movie is Zhang Guoming, who previously filmed promotional videos for TVB TV and Tengyue TV. It can be regarded as his first work in the film industry.

Since the producer is owned by Binbin Films, the film is naturally still biased towards the police and robber series.It tells the story of the male protagonist who was not admitted to the police station due to an eye disease. Unbalanced in his heart, he went around killing people to vent his anger.

At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the character played by Xu Guanying in the "Modern Bodyguard" produced by Tengyue Entertainment Company.However, this film is moving towards a "regular bandit film" rather than a "comedy film".

The reason why I came to watch this drama was that the golden supporting role played by Su Cheng, He Jiaju, who plays the "villain" appeared in it.Another point is that this is currently a joint production of some famous film companies, so I can't help but pay attention to it!

Darong Film Company is famous only for its boss, Deng Guangrong.What Su Cheng cared about was his courage.The "Days of Being Wild" directed by Wong Kar Wai, starring Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and others cost a huge sum of 4000 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot!The box office was less than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.If there is no distribution in other parts of Southeast Asia, it will be a disaster.

At present, besides Zou Wenhuai, he is the most impactful and ambitious generation.

As for his "special status" in Xiangjiang, no one dared to provoke him.However, this person is considered a loyal person, and he will not easily anger others.Compared with Xin Ngee Ann, etc., it is much better.

In addition, Binbin Film Company, in the past two years, the achievements of the films produced are much stronger than Shaw Brothers, and can compete with the previous Golden Harvest.The same is true, the two companies have a lot of grievances and grievances, which has led to the fact that Golden Harvest no longer shows any works of Binbin Film Company.As a result, Tengyue Cinemas gave up on it and allowed Golden Princess Cinemas to make money.

Speaking of this company, I have to mention their boss Ye Zhiming, who is the brother of the later beautiful sister Ye Yuqing.A person who is very powerful and loves "adventures". In the film industry, there are very few films that do not make money.However, his ambition was not here, which led to the gradual decline of Binbin Film Company.

You know, plus Ren Dahua, who they had dug over from Tengyue before, in Su Cheng's memory, Leslie Cheung, Yu Yunkang, Chen Xinjian and others all joined this company around 80 or 81, which shows how strong it is.

Except for the first part of the movie, it is still worth watching. After that, it is like a running account. After a little thought, you will know the ending.

After walking out of the cinema, Su Cheng first asked the driver to take Xiao Amin and the others back, and then took Liu Qing to the restaurant that Sammo Hung had booked.It is rare to gather together with everyone from the Hong family class.The purpose of this trip is to appease Jackie Chan and let him make a few movies for Tengyue Entertainment Company.As for Cannonball Run.Anyway, he is just a supporting role, so he is not in a hurry right now.

……

Hongsheng restaurant, private room on the second floor.

"Hello boss!" When Su Cheng arrived, everyone present got up to say hello.

"Everyone sit down!"

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng looked at Jackie Chan, and said gently: "Aaron, how is it? I asked Brother Sanmao to invite you. I wonder if we can set aside some time for our Tengyue entertainment in the first half of the year."

"Of course no problem!" Jackie Chan excitedly said.After finishing speaking, he hesitated and said: "However, I have to tell Mr. Zou about this matter."

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Before I met you, I have already asked Mr. Zou for his consent, and he agreed. You can be released to us for a year. However, we require you to participate in at least three films." , male number one, or male number two."

After a pause, he continued: "For the leading male lead, it is naturally a Hong Kong film. For the leading male lead, there is a high probability that it will be a Hollywood film. However, you can rest assured that the filming in Hollywood will be directed by Brother Sanmao."

Winning over Jackie Chan is what Su Cheng has to do. On top of this, he has discussed several times with Sammo Hung, Wong Jing, and Johnnie To. He has to act in several movies, even if Yuen Biao participates in it. , the effect will be very unsatisfactory.no way.Finally reached an agreement with Zou Wenhuai.Golden Harvest can invest 3% in it.

Jackie Chan's obstacle is not Zou Wenhuai, but his godfather He Guanchang.However, with Zou Wenhuai's restraint on this matter, people will definitely be in place.Rao even He Guanchang also understands that participating in the films produced by Tengyue Entertainment will have high popularity and box office.As long as it's for Jackie Chan's benefit, he can't stop it!
As for the movies that Su Cheng wants Jackie Chan to shoot, the three movies he has decided so far are "Dragon's Heart", "Red Fan District", and "Rush Hour".

Among them, Su Cheng obtained "Dragon's Heart" and "Red Fan District" from the system early on, and handed over the scripts to Sammo Hung.As for the film "Rush Hour", it was obtained from James Cameron before returning to Hong Kong.

"Thank you, Boss Su!" Jackie Chan was overjoyed to be able to participate in a movie produced by Tengyue Entertainment Company, and to be the leading actor, even in a Hollywood blockbuster.After all, the previous movie "Plan A" has already given him a sweet taste.Although the box office of that film was not high in North America, it jumped to the top five of the year in the island country, Bay Island, Xiangjiang, and even other parts of Southeast Asia.Even the number one position of the year.Before this, it was unimaginable!
He Jackie Chan is also an international big movie star, even though his popularity is still very low.

That's enough to be proud of!
After all, among the stars in Hong Kong, how many are comparable to him?Chow Yun-fat from Tengyue Entertainment!After "Back to the Future" is released, maybe Jackie Chan won't think so.I'm afraid Leslie Cheung and Ye Qianwen will also become famous internationally.

Smiling, Su Cheng turned to Sammo Hung and said, "Brother Sanmao, after you finish filming "True Lies", you will take the lead in directing Aaron's films. As for "Rich Train", the director will Let Yuan Kui come. Of course, your role is still indispensable."

"Understood, boss!" Sammo Hung did not hesitate at all.

On the other hand, Yuan Kui said happily, "Thank you boss!"

After all, they all know the script of "The Rich and Noble Train". Once it is shot well, the box office may reach 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.Among all the films currently screened in Xiangjiang, there are not many of them!
If he succeeded, wouldn't Yuen Biao soar into the sky?
"That's what you deserve!" Smiling, Su Cheng stopped talking about business affairs and started to have a happy meal with them. After all, today is New Year's Eve, so you can't spoil the fun.
