Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 172 Liu Jialiang

In a restaurant, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming met with Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiahui brothers.

"I don't know Mr. Mai, what are you looking for?" Liu Jialiang asked.

Mai Jia said with a smile: "Director Liu, I heard that Boss Shao has recently reduced the production of Shaw Brothers films, especially action films. I'm afraid he hasn't filmed a new film for several months?"

Hearing this, Liu Jialiang's heart trembled, and he asked, "Mr. Mai has something to say."

Looking at Huang Baiming, Mai Jia said, "Since Shaw Brothers doesn't value you, I would like to invite you to our New Art City."

"Oh?" Liu Jialiang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Even if I'm not in Shaw Brothers, why did I join New Art City instead of Tengyue Entertainment? Mr. Mai, I think you also know that Ah Rong is doing very well there. .”

"Hahaha……"

As soon as these words came out, Maggie burst out laughing.Regardless of the ugly faces of Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiahui, he said in a trembling voice: "Tengyue Entertainment? Director Liu, if you want to go, you have already taken Liu Jiaban there, why don't you go with your brother? Isn't it because Tengyue already has Hong Jinbao's Hong family class, and Yuan Heping's Yuan family class. Even if there is Liu Jiarong's recommendation, how much resources can be invested in you?"

After a pause, Mai Jia continued: "Furthermore, although there are quite a few films produced by Teng Yue Entertainment, more than [-]% of them come from the scripts of the boss Su Cheng. There are very few others. You also wrote People who have read scripts know that such talents cannot always have good scripts, and their talents will always be exhausted one day. It is no different from martial arts masters Jin Yong and Gu Long. Not to mention, if you observe carefully, you will find that the current The Tengyue Entertainment has placed the main battlefield in Hollywood. The number of local films released in Xiangjiang is decreasing year by year. Especially this year, the plays written by Huang Bingyao, Zhang Jianting, and even Wang Jing and Li Xiuxian have also come out. It can be seen that , this kind of phenomenon will become more and more in the future, and for those people, it is a better opportunity to stand out. But for Tengyue Entertainment, it may not be so."

Shaking his head, Mai Jia continued: "Besides, among the movies produced by Teng Yue in the past few years, how many are action movies? Most of them are comedies. There are not many people who need director Liu's ability. Even if it works, it is enough to have Sammo Hung and Yuen Heping around. Otherwise, Liu Jiarong would not be a director and actor, and let others take care of the action guidance."

Seeing Liu Jialiang's composure, Mai Jia continued: "Besides, your brother Liu Jiahui is an action star. If you go to Tengyue, can you compare with Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and others? But we can do it in Xinyi City! "

Before Liu Jialiang opened his mouth, Liu Jiahui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I be the protagonist?"

"At least the villain is fine." Huang Baiming interjected.

Who made myself look a little fierce!Liu Jiahui sighed secretly.

Hearing this, Liu Jialiang was also a little moved.Just like McGahn said.The reason why he didn't go to Tengyue Entertainment with Liu Jiarong was that the movies he starred in before were martial arts movies, and there weren't many action movies.Currently still in the process of integration.

But who would have thought that Shaw Brothers has been too aggressive recently, and the number of scenes cast is less than [-]% of last year's.ask.It's just that the TV station doesn't have enough funds.It can be seen, what has Shaw Brothers become?It's about to close down!

Just when he was thinking about changing the door, Mai Jia came to the door.Although the current New Art City has not become the overlord of the film industry like Tengyue, it is gradually ranking alongside Golden Harvest.Not inferior to the faintly rising Dingsheng Film Industry.

I want to go, it may be these few.

As Maijia said, Tengyue does not lack him.In a short time, I'm afraid it won't be useful.Who made Tengyue develop too fast, and now his mind is on Hollywood!
Seeing Liu Jialiang's heart moved.Maggie let out a sigh of relief.

Originally, he didn't intend to continue to expand New Art City in a short time.However, Shaw's recent move, as well as the "Shaolin Temple" series filmed by Yindu Agency, Tengyue started newcomers to film the "Huang Feihong" series, made Maijia and the others feel urgent.Who made Jet Li's 2 "Shaolin Temple" a success!Tengyue has started to shoot this kind of subject matter, why can't their new art city face the difficulties?There is no way for this company to last long by relying on comedy alone.

As for the drama "Shaolin Temple", New Art City will not contact it for the time being, because it is going to the inland area after all.But "Huang Feihong" can be mixed up.This is the act of plotting against Brother Liu Jialiang.

Huang Feihong filmed by Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, etc. is not as formal as Liu Jialiang. After all, no matter how you say it, Liu Jialiang's father Liu Zhan is a direct disciple of Lin Shirong, the serious disciple of Huang Feihong who entered the house.

The roots are red!
Only they can shoot the authentic Hong Fist of Huang Feihong.

For the "Ip Man" filmed by Tengyue, Ye Zhun was also appointed as a martial arts consultant for the authenticity of boxing.

It's all the same!

In Mai Jia's view, "Once Upon a Time" filmed by Tengyue is just selling dog meat with sheep's tricks.He didn't pay much attention to Hong Quan at all.

But when the actual filming is done, he will understand how ridiculous his thoughts are.

That's a classic!

After the scene was silent for a while, Liu Jialiang said: "Mr. Mai, I have to discuss this matter with my brothers."

"Don't worry!" Mai Jia waved his hand, and said with a smile: "However, I hope Director Liu can do it as soon as possible. You also know that action movies are still very popular during this period. Boss Lei, the sponsor, probably only wants us to continue making comedies with low investment costs."

Nodding his head, Liu Jialiang said: "I am aware of Mr. Mai's difficulties. I will give you an answer to this matter as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

……

On the way back to Xinyi City, Huang Baiming asked doubtfully, "Are you sure that Liu Jialiang will join us?"

"uncertain!"

"Then you still say so much? I thought you were sure!"

With a slight smile, Maijia said: "But if he has ideas, he will definitely join us. And the probability of this is very high."

"Oh?" Huang Baiming was puzzled.

Maijia explained: "Actually, when Liu Jiarong joined Tengyue Entertainment Company, their Liu Jiaban had the opportunity to follow. But no. First, Liu Jialiang at that time might not have looked down on Tengyue Entertainment. Second Well, maybe it is to repay Shaw for accepting him."

"However, for Shaw Brothers, Liu Jialiang has always had some estrangement in his heart. You should understand. If it weren't for Zhang Che's abrupt teasing at the beginning, Liu Jialiang would have become a generation of martial arts director a few years earlier."

"In the Liu family class, only Liu Jialiang, Liu Jiarong, and Liu Jiahui are really outstanding. Among them, Liu Jiarong often gets along with Hong Jinbao and the others. Liu Jialiang can use Liu Jiahui. But after all, they are not brothers! Let alone , Liu Jiahui was quite popular in the island country in his early years. Although he played villains. To a certain extent, life is better than that of Liu Jialiang. Liu Jialiang can only rely on the investment of Shaw Brothers to make movies. His own ability is not affected by the film company. The boss likes it. After all, the box office of the movies he shot is not very good. There are not many outstanding ones."

"I won't join Tengyue. In my opinion, apart from his self-consciousness, the films he directs won't bring high box office to Tengyue, but he just doesn't want to admit that his achievements are not as good as Liu Jiarong's."

"Uh... love face!" Huang Baiming muttered.

Glancing at him, Mai Jia continued: "And the most important point, if Liu Jialiang is in our Xinyi City, he has a great say in the production crew, but if he goes to Tengyue, he may be suppressed by a large number of people. Live. Randomly pick a few directors, either won the Hong Kong Film Awards, or were nominated. Even internationally and in Hollywood, they are all well-known directors. How can anyone value him!"

"Except for our New Art City, Golden Harvest doesn't need an action film director like him. Dingsheng needs someone who can make money. Liu Jialiang is not suitable for the past."

Hearing this, Huang Baiming didn't argue any more.Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Have you convinced Boss Lei to cast the "Once Upon a Time" series?"

"Almost! After all, although our New Art City is not as good as Tengyue, our performance over the past year is no worse than Jiahe. It has also made a lot of money for Boss Lei! He still supports what should be invested." Maggie laughed.

"That's good!"

……

the other side.

Liu Jialiang found all the current members of Liu's class at home.After everyone arrived, he said calmly: "I think everyone knows that due to Shaw's production reduction recently, we have no filming for a while. For this reason, I decided to officially leave Shaw and find another way. I don't know What do you think?"

"This..." As soon as his words fell, the people below talked a lot.

Except for Liu Jiahui, who knew the inside story in advance, Wang Yu, who has a promising future in Shaw Brothers, frowned and said, "Master, can you tell us, where will you go after leaving Shaw Brothers?"

"New Art City!" Liu Jialiang said in a deep voice.

"Ah! This..." They all thought it was the prosperous Tengyue Entertainment Company!After all, Liu Jiarong found something good there!
At this moment, Wang Yu who asked the question was a little dumbfounded.For a moment I didn't know what to say.But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and said, "I will go wherever the master goes. In a few days, I will terminate the contract with Shao."

Without Lau Ka Leung's strong support, how could he have achieved what he is now?

However, in history, this person will race with Fu Sheng next year, resulting in the death of the other party and being scolded himself.In the end, the career fell to the bottom.Later, he became infected with drugs and used to beat his girlfriend.Not a nice guy.But for Liu Jialiang, he really respected him.At least, for now.

After Wang Yu made his statement, Yang Jingjing, Liu Jialiang's female disciple, said, "I listen to Master!"

Afterwards, Ren Shiguan, Huang Xia and others all expressed that they followed Liu Jialiang.

"David, what do you think?" Liu Jialiang finally set his sights on David Jiang.

"Master, I still hope to be in Shaw Brothers. If it doesn't work, I will go to Wireless." David Jiang said.

For this, everyone present will not feel any surprise or harshness.Although he is Liu Jialiang's disciple.But he was favored by Shao, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, Wang Tianlin and others.As early as more than ten years ago, he was the Asian actor.His reputation is no lower than that of Ti Lung, Wang Yu, and Zheng Shaoqiu.However, he is still the ancient martial arts.Whether they went to Tengyue or New Art City, the development was not very good.Or Shaw Brothers, and wireless opportunities are great.

Nodding his head, Liu Jialiang didn't say much.At this time, his girlfriend Weng Jingjing suddenly said: "David, I think you should go to Tengyue to try. Shaw Brothers is down, go to Tengyue, and you can go to Hollywood! Well, even though Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others are Action movie stars. But they are incomparable to people like you and Bruce Lee. There is always a chance for you to stand out. And TVB and Shaw Brothers, even if they stay for ten years, they haven’t changed much. It will be heartless.”

"Master..."

Waving his hands, Liu Jialiang comforted: "Your wife is right! You have real kung fu, and your acting skills are also excellent. If you stay at Shaw Brothers, it is better to go to Tengyue. We are different. Going to Tengyue is not as good as Xinyi City."

Speaking of this, Liu Jialiang said to Liu Jiahui, Yang Jingjing, and Wang Yu: "The three of you are all good candidates to become actors. I suggest that you should go to Tengyue Entertainment to try. I will ask Ah Rong to help you with this matter." Yes. You can’t get in, or it’s not suitable for you. It’s the same if you go to New Art City with me.”

"master……"

"That's it. It's a deal! It's going to be fast, and it needs to be kept secret. You must not let Shao know about it now. When the dust settles, there is nothing you can do there. Remember?" Liu Jialiang said solemnly.

"remember!"

After sending them away, Liu Jialiang looked at Weng Jingjing, puzzled and said, "Why do you want David to go to Teng Yue Entertainment?"

"It's not for you!" Weng Jingjing rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Although Ah Rong is not in Liu's class, he is your biological brother after all. You all went to Xinyi City and let Tengyue Entertainment Company What do you think? Let Ah Rong think about it? Should he do nothing, or join New Art City like you?"

"David is the most famous one in Liu's class. If he joins Tengyue Entertainment Company, even if you go to New Art City, the others will have nothing to say. After all, father and son, brothers are not in the same company. Go. At that time, you can stay safely in New Art City."

Weng Jingjing said: "But once you let David stay in Shaw Brothers, you will offend many people. The first one is New Art City. They are looking for you as a director and David as an actor. Jiahui and Wang Yu is second. The second is Boss Shao. I feel that you have betrayed him. Even my disciple David knows how to be grateful. The third is Tengyue Entertainment. At least, at present, New Art City is still a hostile company to them! More Don't talk about the hostile relationship between TVB and Tengyue TV."

"Oh...it's thanks to you!" Hearing the analysis, Liu Jialiang said with emotion: "The world is unpredictable! It has been going back and forth for decades. I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Don't think so much. You have the ability, and sooner or later you will be a big success!" Weng Jingjing comforted.

"I hope..." Liu Jialiang sighed deeply.
