Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 44 The Golden Princess Theater

On April 4, the film "Best Partner" directed by Wang Jing officially premiered.

However, the current Tengyue Entertainment Company is on the right track, so Su Cheng didn't appear again.On the contrary, the Tengyue Cinemas, which opened for the first time, attracted the interest of many movie fans.After all, what is built here can be said to be the "modern" version of the theater in later generations, with a sense of fashion.

The premiere of the movie was very successful, Su Cheng still listened to Wang Jing brag on the phone.

When the report came out the next day, it really shocked him!The box office on the first day actually reached the highest premiere record among the films produced by Tengyue Entertainment, with a box office of 62 Hong Kong dollars!
However, due to the success of "Best Partner", the box office of "Beware of Little Hands", which is still in theaters, plummeted to a mere 21 Hong Kong dollars that day.I'm afraid that after a few days, the film will be released, and it can reach the box office of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!

At the same time, Xiang Huaqiang also called to talk, saying that he had found the director of "Hitch the Wrong Car", not the Yu Kanping from Bay Island, but the unexpected new director Fang Yuping, also known as the director of the movie "The Wrong Car". The original executive director of "Father and Son Love".

In fact, Fang Yuping is not the first director at this time. As early as 77, he filmed "Wild Child". piece.

Currently working for Phoenix Film Company.

I just don't know, who introduced Xiang Huaqiang to find this master of literary films?If he makes a shot, the quality will not be low.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day, the box office of the movie "Best Partner" rose sharply, bringing the total box office to 153 million Hong Kong dollars!Single-day box office of 91 Hong Kong dollars.

In an instant, "Best Partner" became popular, and director Wang Jing was sought after.Even the gambler Wu Mengda, who has always been disliked by the media, has become a typical representative of "the prodigal son turns back".After all, a few months ago, that "Chasing Girls" was also one of his masterpieces!
However, on this happy day, the news that Lisheng Cinemas will be reorganized into Golden Princess Cinemas suddenly came out.

Thunderbolt!
This is a big earthquake in the film industry!Once the news is accurate, it will change the early pattern of Xiangjiang having only Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Lisheng Cinemas, and Broadway Cinemas.

Except for the "isolation" of Broadway theaters, since then, it has become the competition of Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Tengyue Cinemas, and Golden Princess Cinemas.

Judging from the current situation, Golden Harvest Cinemas is targeted by Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Tengyue Cinemas.I don't know what's going on with the Golden Princess Cinemas.

While the outside world was talking about it, Su Cheng was shocked.The Golden Princess Theater was established earlier than in the previous life!I'm afraid that the "New Art City" will be established soon.

With Shi Tian, ​​Mai Jia, and Huang Baiming here, they will definitely occupy a place in the comedy market.After all, these people are very talented.Even if he obtained a lot of movies with better box office in his previous life through the system, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not create better works again?Maybe they will be greatly stimulated by the birth of their Tengyue Entertainment Company.There are even better "new works" coming out!

……

Xinyang restaurant.

In the large private room on the second floor, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Teddy Robin, Zeng Zhiwei, Alan Tam, Liu Jiarong and others sat together.

While eating, Mai Jia, who was the inviter, asked, "I don't know what you think about the previous proposal?"

Partner Shi Tian said directly: "No problem, let's do it with you!"

Huang Baiming also nodded and said, "I won't leave the company for the time being, just change my name, it's harmless."

As for Teddy Robin, he raised his glass and said nothing.

Tsui Hark was forced to come in. Moreover, he also knew that many companies didn't like his films very much, so he and his wife Shi Nansheng agreed to stay in Mai Jia's company.Furthermore, now that there is Lei Juekun, the backstage boss, at least he is not worried about investment.

The remaining screenwriters and assistant directors left by the original company have no objections.

When Alan Tam arrived, he just smiled and said: "I'm here today to eat and drink. You all know that I will come if I need to participate in performances. As for joining, my main business is still in the music industry."

Hearing his words, Teddy Robin gave a thumbs up.

When it was Liu Jiarong's turn, he politely refused, "I just joined Tengyue Entertainment, and I don't want to change again."

Although he is the younger brother of Liu Jialiang, he is also a member of Liu Jiaban.But he hopes that he is not only an actor and martial arts instructor, but also a director.Whether it's his brother, or Mai Jia and the others, I'm afraid they can't be satisfied.Fortunately, the boss Su Cheng did not dislike his director ability.He was very grateful.

Liu Jiarong's words made Mai Jia silent.His current bald head is still because of Sammo Hung!Both of them are "ambitious people".However, after all, what Mai Jia cares about is her own future.On the contrary, it was the brothers of the Hong family class that Sammo Hung considered the most.Otherwise, she would never join the fettered Teng Yue Entertainment Company and open her own movie company leisurely.

Even with the presence of the Golden Princess Cinemas, Mai Jia dare not say that she can suppress the arrogance of Tengyue Entertainment.Instead, he turned to Zeng Zhiwei, who was on the side, and said in a solemn tone, "Ah Wei, what's your plan?"

"I, I..." After squeaking for a long time, Zeng Zhiwei finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will resign in this period of time and hang out with you!"

If it was in the past, whether it was under Sammo Hung or under Mai Jia, there would be little difference.After all, they're just a tiny movie studio.But now, Tengyue Entertainment Company owns Tengyue Cinemas.The company that Mai Jia is about to reorganize is the Golden Princess Cinema Line, which is a directly linked company.

The situation of Zeng Zhiwei and Liu Jiarong is different.When he first came into contact with the film industry, there were two people who needed special gratitude, one of them was Liu Jialiang.Second, Maggie.

Liu Jialiang recommended him to Wandao as a stand-in, dragon and tiger martial artist.Maijia taught him to write scripts.Among them, "Shaolin 36 Rooms" has become a classic of Shaw Brothers. "The Fat Dragon Crossing the River" made Sammo Hung an instant hit.

Since then, since the movie "Kicking the Hall", Zeng Zhiwei started his career as a director in his life.

In the past at Garbo Film Company, I was worthy of Sammo Hung, but now that Maggie invites me, how can I not go?As for Tengyue Entertainment Company, although it seemed superior, in Zeng Zhiwei's eyes, it was nothing.First of all, he himself is a top-notch screenwriter, an excellent actor and director, and he will do well with or without Su Cheng's favor.

The reason why Sammo Hung joined in was only for the sake of everyone in the Hong family.

In his opinion, Bruce Lee in the past, Xu Guanwen and others in the future, as well as Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and even himself Zeng Zhiwei, are all great talents.A talent that various film companies are vying for.So, what are you afraid of?
As soon as his words came out, Mai Jia was ecstatic, and laughed loudly: "Ah Wei is still interesting!"

An awkward and boring dinner party gradually ended as the sky darkened.

On the way back, Alan Tan, a good friend who has played since childhood, frowned and said, "Awei, why did you agree like this? At least you should discuss it with Sanmao. Besides, how long have you signed with Tengyue Entertainment Company?" ? Is this inappropriate?"

Regarding this, Zeng Zhiwei waved his hand and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, what can happen? At most, it's just a liquidated damages. It's okay."

Seeing him like this, Alan Tam didn't know how to persuade him for a while.He had heard that Su Cheng, the owner of Tengyue Entertainment Company, was not a character to be trifled with.How can you forgive me if you don't give face like this?
What's the matter, why don't you tell me about your resignation face to face?

However, seeing Zeng Zhiwei's indifferent face, Alan Tam finally stopped opening his mouth.
