Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 34 Supervision
"Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly" instantly became a hot topic on the first day of the new year.

When the news reached Hu Tianlun, the president was so shocked that he scalded his hands with hot water.I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?

In the evening, the movie "Happy Ghost" produced by Tengyue Entertainment Company and directed by Johnny To was screened in Shaw Cinemas.

Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the premiere hall, Su Cheng also saw Wang Tianlin, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others who came to support him.

It didn't take long for the film to officially begin.

First, a beach trip.Unlike the original version, which only featured a few young girls, this time, Wang Jing found more than a dozen young girls to shoot.However, there are three protagonists in it.One is Zhong Chuhong.The second is Mao Shunyun.The third is the famous actress Michelle's younger sister, Sydney, who later played Li Mochou in Louis Koo's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

When he found out, Su Cheng thought about changing people, but the contract had already been signed, so he didn't say anything.

The reason why Su Cheng was worried was that she would "renew the relationship" with Leslie Cheung.However, thinking about it, Sydney is only 15 years old now, and there is no brother in the crew, so I don't care about it anymore.

After the plot in the temple is over and everyone returns to school, the appearance of the "ghost scholar" and the "interesting story" between the first heroine Zhong Chuhong make people laugh and laugh, and are extremely happy.

When it comes to the "help" on the field, it amuses a large number of people.

Only then did they realize that this is really not a ghost movie, but a comedy movie!

If you watch this during Chinese New Year, you did not buy the wrong ticket!

When the movie was over, Sammo Hung came to announce the good news: "I wish Mr. Su's new movie a big hit at the box office!"

"Thank you Mr. Hong for your blessing!" Su Cheng said with a smile, "Your auspicious words seem to have come true. Find time in the next year, and I must have a drink with Mr. Hong."

"Okay!" The two shook hands again.

Seeing his retreating back, Su Cheng pulled Wang Jing who was on the side and said, "Fatty, when will Sammo Hung's "Beware of Little Hands" be finished?"

"It seems to be coming soon, right?" Wang Jing thought for a while and said.

Glancing at him, Su Cheng said solemnly: "You should pay more attention to this matter. Once the box office is good, we will continue to attack. I hope that he and Hong Jiaban can join our Tengyue Entertainment Company as soon as possible."

"Understood, boss! I will pay attention!" Wang Jing promised.

……

The second day of the new year.

The box office of "Happy Ghost" came out on the first day, 40 Hong Kong dollars.

At the same time, the movie "Modern Bodyguard" has a cumulative box office of 1642 million Hong Kong dollars (30 days after release).The box office of the movie "Chasing Girls" totaled 807 million Hong Kong dollars (it was released for 16 days).

Jackie Chan's "Junior and Brother" has a cumulative box office of 429 million Hong Kong dollars (released for 8 days).

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Hu Tianlun, who had already come out of the hospital, bandaged his left hand, called Su Cheng and said, "Boss, until just now we sold 8500 copies of Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly."

Hearing this, Su Cheng nodded and said: "Take your time, don't worry! After one or two issues, when the citizens of Xiangjiang get used to the revision model of our new newspaper, the sales will increase."

"Okay, boss! I will keep an eye on it, don't worry!" Hu Tianlun said.

……

Big Year.

Not surprisingly, the cumulative box office of "Happy Ghost" did not exceed one million, but came to 98 Hong Kong dollars.

For one thing, it was during the Spring Festival. During the day, everyone was visiting relatives, and not many people went to the cinema.Furthermore, even if many people read newspapers and listen to people's stories, they will inevitably classify it as a "ghost movie".Naturally, there was a lack of attendance.

After two days of deliberation and development, the newspaper also published a photo of Liang Xiaolong fleeing Xiangjiang to the mainland yesterday.That embarrassed look, I'm afraid I will be beaten by others!
After shaking his head and laughing, Su Cheng, who had nothing to do, continued to write the manuscript of "Looking for Qin Ji".

After such a long time, the intermittent is coming to an end.When the novel is finished, he should write the new book "Myth" which has already prepared the outline.

As for the few scripts obtained from the system, there is no rush at the moment.Who made their company's new drama line up!

……

In the blink of an eye, this new year is over.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, just after arriving at the company, Su Chengcheng was held back by Zhang Jianting and asked him to watch a rough cut of "Father and Son Love".

In addition to Su Cheng, Huang Bingyao and Liang Shuyi also participated in the "film viewing session".

To be honest, Su Cheng is not very interested in this kind of drama.After finally getting through it, she directly asked Liang Shuyi who was on the side, and said, "Mr. Liang, what do you think?"

"The box office may not be very high, but the story is quite educational and very good." Liang Shuyi commented.

Hearing this, Su Cheng fell silent.Instead, Zhang Jianting looked excited.

Seeing his appearance, Su Cheng could only comfort him: "You should know that our company cannot vigorously promote this film. We can only increase its popularity through the midnight show."

"Boss, I understand!" It's not bad to be able to direct a film, let alone see it in theaters.For the novice Zhang Jianting, it is not surprising at all.After all, just as Su Cheng said, this time it's just practice.

Leaving the 9th floor, Liang Shuyi said abruptly, "Boss, is our company still recruiting supervisors?"

"Supervisor?" Su Cheng was stunned.

Although the current Xiangjiang is preparing to make a film, the investor's production company or the producer will lead, and then, the producer, supervisor, director, starring, behind-the-scenes and so on.

As for the several films produced by Teng Yue Entertainment Company, the producers are all in the name of the company.The producer is Leung Suk Yee.The producer and director are one person.Most of the leading actors and behind-the-scenes are set up by the director.

In Su Cheng's mind, the separation of producer and director will affect the speed of filming, and if the ideas are different, who should he listen to?
As if aware of Su Cheng's hesitation and worries, Liang Shuyi said: "Boss, the producer only cares about money and travel, and the crew is still the director."

This is very pleasant to hear.

He asked with great interest: "Who is Manager Liang looking for?"

Liang Shuyi said bluntly: "One is Feng Suifan, an old acquaintance who self-recommended, and the other is Wu Yaohan who needs to be invited."

Fearing that Su Cheng didn't know much about these two people, Liang Shuyi gave a brief introduction, and finally said: "Boss, Feng Suifan can not only be a producer, but also a director, an actor, and even write scripts."

Slowing down, Liang Shuyi continued: "As for Wu Yaohan, what I value most is that he has worked for the BBC. Although he was a host and actor at the time. But if our company wants to open up the Hollywood market, this person must be able to Be a pioneer. Besides, his directing ability is not weak."

"Then I'll trouble Manager Liang with this matter!" In fact, Su Cheng only knew a little about Feng Suifan and Wu Yaohan in some of Sammo Hung's movies, and he only regarded them as golden supporting roles like Wu Mengda.

But through Liang Shuyi's introduction, Su Cheng knew that he underestimated these two people!Feng Suifan was the producer when Liang Shuyi joined Jiayi TV Station.At the moment, Ren is working as a producer at TVB.

However, he is self-recommended.Furthermore, for a character like him, resignation is not as troublesome as it is for an artist.

The other Wu Yaohan currently has his own business, the boss of Pioneer Pictures.However, the box office of several films invested in such as "Panic and Lost", "A Lot of Thieves", "Face and Mind", "It's So Simple to Catch a Thief", and "A Bachelor Walks the World" are all poor at the box office, so they still have a lot of money. I owe a lot of money.It can be said to be heavily in debt.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to invite him to join their Teng Yue Entertainment Company.

What moved Su Cheng the most was what Liang Shuyi said about their company's future development route, going to Hollywood.It is indeed a good thing to have someone lead the past.Furthermore, Wu Yaohan's foreign languages ​​are really awesome!After all, there are a lot of lines and dialogues involved in it!

If there is such a person, general film directors, especially comedy types, don't have to bother to hire outsiders, and don't worry about it!
