Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 14 The Forgotten Screenwriter

As for the movie "The True Colors of a Hero", Su Cheng has watched it several times, so he naturally remembers it deeply.It was Fa Ge's rise to get rid of the "box office poison" in the film industry.

It was filmed together with Leslie Cheung.

As for the other "Best Partner", although it is less famous in later generations, it caused a hurricane in Xiangjiang.All because its box office exceeded 2600 million Hong Kong dollars, it can be said to have shocked a large group of people.

Among them, several key figures have to be mentioned, one is the main character Mai Jia, and the other is the screenwriter Huang Baiming.Third, the actor Shi Tian.The three of them were the so-called "Three Giants" of New Art City.It's not established yet.

However, New Art City's predecessor, the Struggle Film Company, which joined the Golden Princess Cinemas, has already shot a lot of films.Such as "Nobody Knows".

Thinking of this, Su Cheng suddenly thought of a person who was almost overlooked, that is, Huang Bingyao, a screenwriter in the Garbo Film Company founded with Sammo Hung, Liu Jiarong and others before Mai Jia established the Struggle Film Company.

Huang Bingyao is a famous screenwriter who is a late bloomer.His fame is still due to the "Prodigal Boy" starring Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others with a box office of over 900 million Hong Kong dollars.

Then, it got out of hand.Writer of many famous movies.

"Beware of Little Hands" with a box office of 1100 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Scary People" with a box office of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Five Lucky Stars" with a box office of 2200 million Hong Kong dollars.

"A Good Dress" with a box office of 1100 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Big and Bad" with a box office of 1100 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Dragon's Heart" with a box office of 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Summer Lucky Star" with a box office of 2900 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Fuxing Gaozhao" with a box office of 3000 million Hong Kong dollars.

……

and so on works.

The most famous one is "Play Back To School" starring Stephen Chow with a box office of over 4300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't sit still anymore.Although he "copied" the three scripts, he gained some experience.But to become a mature screenwriter like Wang Jing, there is still a long way to go.

Taking advantage of this gap, why not expand their company's screenwriting department?
Originally, there were many famous Xiangjiang movies in his mind, but because of his "unskilledness", he dared not write easily for fear of ruining the script.Fat Wang Jing is a personal choice, but he needs to direct the film and has no time for him.

This Huang Bingyao has become a talent that their company urgently needs.

If they want to sign this person to their Tengyue Entertainment Company, the first thing to do is Sammo Hung's work.However, come to think of it, this matter is not too difficult.First of all, the current Huang Bingyao has not yet shined.

In addition, as far as Su Cheng knew, Sammo Hung was not in a very good mood during this time.Among the several films prepared by Garbo Film Company, which he founded, the box office of "Single Sword and Gun" released in August was less than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.The movie "Lin Shirong", which is currently in theaters, has just broken the box office of 300 million Hong Kong dollars. It is almost impossible to exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

But at the beginning of the year, Jackie Chan, the younger brother who was behind Sammo Hung, had a box office of nearly 550 Hong Kong dollars in "Laughing Fist", which was equivalent to the total box office of his two films.

In addition, Golden Harvest is preparing for Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" and is about to finish filming. According to his younger brother Yuen Biao, this movie is even more exciting. Once it is released, it will break Jackie Chan's "Laughing Fist".How much is that? 700 million Hong Kong dollars, 800 Hong Kong dollars?If Sammo Hung knew, what kind of wonderful expression would he have when the box office hits 1100 million Hong Kong dollars in a month or two?
Knowing this, Su Cheng wanted to immediately win Huang Bingyao, the great screenwriter.Otherwise, Golden Harvest will send Jackie Chan to Hollywood to prepare for the filming of "Killer's Trenches" when "Junior Brother" becomes a big hit.At that time, without Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung would be given a lot of support.If he wants to intervene again, the difficulty will be much greater.

……

In a secluded tea restaurant, Chen Shufen took three bodyguards ordered by her boss Su Cheng to go out with her, and met with the only-known girl singer Anita Mui and her family.

Looking at the unattractive girl in front of her, Chen Shufen didn't understand her boss' eyes for a moment. How did she identify talents?But the background status of the boss is there, and she can't talk about it at will.

Showing a professional smile, staring at the 16-year-old girl, Chen Shufen said softly, "Miss Mei, I wonder what you think?"

Before Anita Mui could speak, Tan Meijin, who was sitting beside her, said, "Ms. Chen, do you know how your company treats you?"

Glancing at her lightly, Chen Shufen said: "Auntie, Xiangjiang people can make their own decisions at the age of 16. Do you want to go to our company by yourself? I'm afraid you are not suitable."

Before coming here, Chen Shufen had heard from her boss, Su Cheng, that Anita Mui's mother was still a mother when she was young, but after remarrying, not only was she indifferent to her husband's abuse of her daughter, she even added fuel to it.For this kind of person, it's fine if you don't just give her a slap in the face. Can you give her a warm face?
In an instant, Tan Meijin's face froze on the spot.But the middle-aged man beside her broke out at this moment, and shouted: "You say it again?"

Before Chen Shufen could make a move, Hou Jian, the bodyguard following her, signaled to the two people beside her. Immediately, the noisy middle-aged man was "invited" out. With a loud voice, the man with wide-eyed eyes was dragged away. Whether it was the young Anita Mui, Tan Meijin or the others, they were all in a cold sweat.

After she calmed down, Anita Mui said softly: "I am willing to sign a contract with your company, but can I add my sister."

Hearing this, Mei Aifang hurriedly stopped her and said, "A-mei, you can go! I don't need it!"

At this time, Chen Shufen, who watched their sisters' love, said with relief: "Although we are mainly signing the contract with you today, your sister can also go for an interview. If she passes, she can join with you. Remember, There is only one chance, whether you can grasp it or not depends entirely on you."

Not giving them time to think and discuss, Chen Shufen directly took Anita Mui and Aifang away, leaving Tan Meijin and her son Mei Qiming staring at each other.

After a while, the middle-aged man who was thrown out before came in again, looked at his wife with horror in his heart, and said tremblingly: "You must not let my sister mention us in their company." The matter of beating and scolding her. They are a group of ruthless people, and they may kill people."

"Oh, no, we won't say it." Hearing this, Tan Meijin and Mei Qiming immediately changed their expressions and assured loudly.

After finishing speaking, the three of them tidied up and left in a hurry.
