Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 156: Police Story

Shortly after the end of the Falklands War, the inland side held talks with Hong Kong and Britain.

This time, the negotiation time has been completely set.And subject to Mrs Thatcher's visit to China.In an instant, all major newspapers in Xiangjiang began to analyze and report.

However, most are leaning towards failure of the negotiations.Who made the British side win a big victory this time, so that people can't see the trend of bowing their heads?
When Su Cheng was about to go to Tengyue Entertainment Company, Wu Guangzheng called and told him again to remember what he said before.Support that side, and if possible, follow the Bao family and go there in person.

He promised with all his mouth, but Su Cheng also knew in his heart that even if he wanted to go, he might have to wait until two years later to formally sign the return agreement with Hong Kong Ying in the inland area in 2.Otherwise, even in the past, wanting to invest a large amount of money is just wishful thinking.If you do it without any scruples, you may face strong suppression from the Governor of Hong Kong.This is not a good thing for their Tengyue Entertainment Company!The current Su Cheng is in no way comparable to a wealthy family like Bao Yugang.

"Autumn's Tale" has not been released yet, but there is good news from Hollywood. Chow Yun-fat has once again won the honor of Best Actor for his movie "True Lies"!In addition to him, Su Cheng also won the Best Screenplay Award.To Qifeng won the Best Director Award.And the final "True Lies" also won the best action film award.

In addition, the film also won the Best Supporting Actress Award and the Best Special Effects Award.

It is a big win at the Saturn Awards in the United States!
At the same time, "ET Alien", which was jointly released by Tengyue Cinemas and Universal Cinemas, was officially released in North America, and the final box office totaled 3.78 million US dollars.It jumped to No. 8 on the global movie box office list, only after Steven Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" directed by himself.

When the box office of other countries and regions comes out, it is very likely to surpass the "Star Wars" that is still at the top of the box office.

Just when Hollywood was cheering loudly for this movie, the Hong Kong mainland had already begun to release the Hollywood blockbuster "The Story of Hachiko" produced by Tengyue.This film is invested by Golden Harvest Films and Dingsheng Films.All of a sudden, the TV stations and newspapers were all overwhelmed with publicity.

It led to a rare breakthrough on the premiere day to a super high record of 183 million Hong Kong dollars!

At this time, Wang Jing came to Su Cheng's office and said with a happy face: "Boss, the first batch of discs we produced have been successfully sold in various places. At the same time, the cooperation of audio tapes has also made a breakthrough. Come to think of it, a Within a month, the sales of these two items will usher in a climax.”

After hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes lit up.After all, the reason why they first entered the disc market was that it was cheap and easy to operate.Unlike audio cassettes, one is easy to store.Another is the high cost.It is not so easy to open this market.Who would have thought that it would only take so long for Wang Jing to finish this matter?
After encouraging him a few words, Su Cheng said: "After you sort it out, leave this matter to other people to deal with. Your major is screenwriting and directing."

At this point, Su Cheng paused, and said in a deep voice: "About the screenwriter, you have to hold a meeting. Seriously rectify it. You can't always let me, the boss, take action. You have to write the script yourself. Huang Bingyao and Zhang Jianting, Even Sammo Hung did a good job. But you and Guan Jinpeng are far behind. If you don’t have screenwriting talent, I don’t care about it. But your talent is not weak. You can’t just sit back and enjoy your success.”

"Yes, the boss is right! I will take this matter seriously." Wang Jing rarely put away her hippie smile.If Su Cheng didn't say anything, he really didn't realize it.I always think that the company arranges a lot of plays, so there is no shortage of scripts!
But how did he know?Su Cheng's scripts were all awarded from the system.But with the continuous development of Tengyue Entertainment and the increase in the cost of filming a movie, the time for rewards has become less and less.In recent months, there are less than 10 scripts!You know, their Tengyue entertainment company has also signed several new artists.This shows how rare it is to obtain a new script.

When Su Cheng's scripts are exhausted, will it be rare for Tengyue Entertainment to face a sharp drop in revenue?This is not what Su Cheng wants to see.

With the addition of this group of screenwriters, it is the normal and healthy development of a film and television company.It's not just relying on the credit of a certain person, or a few people.

……

Jackie Chan has returned to Hong Kong.

With the experience of filming "Fast Food Truck" before, the speed of filming "Red Fan District" this time was nearly a month earlier than the previous budget.

What surprised Su Cheng was that he didn't choose to go to a nightclub, nor did he choose to find a random woman. Instead, he came to the headquarters of Tengyue Entertainment and came to find Su Cheng to film the next movie.

Originally, Jackie Chan did plan to take a break, but before he returned to Hong Kong, he learned that Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and even Yuen Wah had already started filming Hollywood movies produced by Tengyue, and that his elder brother, Sammo Hung, was absolutely Male number one!How can Jackie Chan stand this?
Although it has "Food Truck" and the just-concluded movie "Red Fan District", this is only the first film to break into Hollywood. It can be regarded as a solid popularity in Southeast Asia, and it has a slight appearance in Hollywood.With Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and even Liang Jiahui, who has just become popular in North America, there is no comparison at all!

In the blink of an eye, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Yuen Wah became the protagonists in Hollywood blockbusters, which Jackie Chan couldn't let go of.And who told him not to be a signed artist under Tengyue?I can only bite the bullet and come to the door.

Su Cheng smiled and invited Jackie Chan to the office to sit down, asked the secretary to pour him a cup of tea, and then said solemnly: "Aaron, the plan I told you last year is still valid today. If you want to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster, there is absolutely no Problem. You have to help us Teng Yue finish a Hong Kong film first. By the end of the year, you will be able to shoot that "Rush Hour"."

This can be regarded as Jackie Chan's most glorious moment, and the influence and evaluation of subsequent Hollywood blockbusters have been weakened.And after the filming of "Rush Hour" is finished, Jackie Chan may have to go back to Golden Harvest in half a year.Naturally, Su Cheng couldn't waste too much time.

Although it is still impossible to shoot Hollywood blockbusters immediately, the time until the end of the year is not too long.Jackie Chan happily agreed.

Afterwards, Su Chengcheng asked his secretary to take him to see Chen Shufen.Report to Wong Jing again and arrange for Jackie Chan to shoot the movie "Police Story" immediately.

After all, after "Rush Hour", maybe Jackie Chan's enthusiasm will not be so good!In order to prevent this from happening, even the "Flying Eagle Project" had to be postponed.

When Jackie Chan left Tengyue Entertainment Company satisfied, Liang Shuyi walked in and said, "Boss, if we do this, will we train talents for Golden Harvest?"

After waving his hand, Su Cheng smiled and said, ""Rush Hour" can be regarded as his most brilliant time, and besides, without our script, Golden Harvest's desire to push him to a higher status is just a fantasy. Hollywood is not so It's so messy. Unless Jackie Chan himself becomes an entertainer of a major Hollywood film company, maybe he will have a chance."

With this in mind, he warned: "When filming "Rush Hour", remember to sign a series contract with Jackie Chan. One film a year. There are three films in total. This is a necessary condition, otherwise, he can only withdraw from this film."

"Okay, boss!" Although Liang Shuyi didn't understand why Su Cheng cared so much about "Rush Hour".But what the boss said, naturally has to be implemented!
But Su Cheng was thinking in his heart, should he also sign the "Police Story" series contract?I just thought about the success of the next few films, so I gave up.

To be honest, many of Jackie Chan's movies can be played by other artists.For example, let Leslie Cheung have already finished filming the "Miracle".Fighting isn't that dangerous.The thrills aren't that frequent either.

Another example is the "Master Dragon", which has not appeared until now, and it will be no problem if Jackie Chan is replaced.
