Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 51 Make Money
In Tengyue Entertainment Company, Su Cheng was flipping through the new script "Double Star Smart Police" written by Huang Bingyao.

The story roughly tells that an Interpol went to Xiangjiang to track down a large fugitive. Unexpectedly, he was arrested by a trainee police officer.After resolving the misunderstanding, the two began to work together to solve the case. During this period, they met a pair of sisters and had emotional entanglements with them.Unexpectedly, when the fugitive reappeared, he even took them away, threatening them to take the original witness and the video from the camera obtained by the police station in exchange.

The ending of the story is that for the sake of justice and women's dignity, during the exchange, the sister abruptly destroyed the bomb that the fugitive had placed in advance by suicide.Subsequently, that person was also eliminated by two angry policemen.

I searched the memories in my mind, but I have no impression of this script. Either the box office is not good, or there are no big stars joining, or this is a "new script".

However, the story inside is still new to the current Xiangjiang market, so Su Chengcheng nodded and let it pass.

At this time, he remembered that since Zhang Jianting became the director, Huang Bingyao was the only "professional screenwriter" left in Tengyue Entertainment.

It is also for this reason that after perfecting the three scripts of "Five Lucky Stars", "Five Lucky Stars", "Summer Lucky Stars", together with Wang Jing, they will also conceive a new work of their own outline, the first film that was originally directed. The script of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" was handed over to Huang Bingyao to perfect and supplement.

Maybe it's because of more and more experience, but the fighting scenes and humor elements in "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" are much fuller than those in Su Cheng's memory.He remembered that it was a film starring Xie Xian, the "old man" who wore glasses in the play, was similar to Xu Guanwen, and had good skills.

If it was Wang Jing's temperament, I'm afraid that the action fighting will be designed as a "martial arts" slow motion, which is not like the "fast motion" in "Beware of Little Hands".

It just so happened that Huang Bingyao made up for this big defect.Come to think of it, by then, the box office of this film will be even higher.

Seeing that Su Cheng was satisfied with the script, Huang Bingyao hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Boss, do you think I can be a director?"

"Director?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

Huang Bingyao said anxiously: "That's right, I think, as a director, you can earn more."

"Huh?" He glanced at him in surprise, and then, Su Cheng understood.In Tengyue Entertainment Company, although the screenwriter can get a share of dividends, most of the first few scripts are signed with the words "Screenwriter: Su Cheng, Huang Bingyao".After all, the story originally came from Su Cheng's mouth.

Of course, the money is less.

But the director is different!In addition to getting dividends, there are also paychecks to get.Furthermore, Huang Bingyao is now 34 years old and is no longer young.If I can earn more, my family can live a better life.

However, in Su Cheng's impression, most of Huang Bingyao's talents are in the screenwriting area. As for the actors and producers, they are not very good, let alone the job of director, which he has never been in contact with.However, seeing his appearance, Su Cheng was unwilling to refuse, and frowned and said, "It's not impossible!"

After a pause, Su Cheng continued: "Let's do it this way! Since you have helped director Wang Jing enrich the script "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", go directly to his crew "Merry Christmas" to report. When do you think you can be the director? I will let you direct the film. However, we must have the ability to talk about the ugly things beforehand, and we can’t fool around after becoming a director. Do you understand?”

"I understand, I understand everything! Thank you boss!" Huang Bingyao said excitedly.

Seeing his happy appearance, Su Cheng didn't dampen his enthusiasm.As for the future, it all depends on oneself.In his eyes, that director is not easy to be!Without a few years of training, who can do it?When he can't hold on anymore, or feels that it's not that material, he will understand that being a good screenwriter is his way out!

……

After Huang Bingyao left, Chen Shufen knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Boss, Leslie Cheung's concert has been confirmed, do you think there is anything else that needs to be arranged?"

"As for the singer, besides the Mei Yanfang that Li Xiaotian mentioned earlier, call Wang Jie over. As for the song to sing, he will understand it himself!" Su Cheng ordered.

Although Anita Mui is already known by many people because of the movie "Happy Ghost", she is still not very famous after all.At least, Zhong Chuhong is not as well-known as the leading actor.

Leslie Cheung's concert this time is just an opportunity to let more people know about her talent.

As for Wang Jie, he is considered a moderate celebrity in Xiangjiang entertainment industry, especially in Shaw Brothers, many people know him, and letting him appear on the stage can be regarded as paving the way in advance.

In fact, Su Cheng's original plan was to postpone the concert until the end of the year, and let Leslie Cheung shine in the movie first.After all, there are many capable people in the current music scene.

Leslie Cheung's own song album won a platinum record, even Alan Tam's "Love You Crazy" released in the same period also sold well.

In addition, Chen Baiqiang's "No More Tears", Lin Zixiang's "One Person".

There are also Xu Guanying, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Zheng Shaoqiu and others who either released albums or singles.The momentum is not weak at all!

Especially Luo Wen and Zheng Shaoqiu, at this stage, they are the "everyone" in the music world!

It's a pity that Leslie Cheung is stubborn, and Su Cheng has no choice but to let him go!As long as he is happy with himself.

At this moment, Chen Shufen said: "Boss, I heard that TVB's Boss Shao seems to be restricting us from filming in Shaw Studios these two days."

"You mean Shaw Studios? The one in Dapuzi, Qingshuiwan?" Su Cheng asked with some surprise.

"Yes, boss!" Chen Shufen affirmed.

This was beyond Su Cheng's expectation. Once he couldn't make a film in Shaw Brothers Studios, the only choice left was to go to Jiahe.But their relationship with Jiahe?Thinking about it, I couldn't help shaking my head.

If it was before, it might still be possible.Now, at least in the short term, that may not be possible.After all, their Tengyue Entertainment Company had just dug up Sammo Hung and others, and Zou Wenhuai didn't hate them for being big.

After thinking about it, Su Cheng felt that something was wrong. Even if Run Run Shaw wanted to do something, it would not be at this time. After all, Princess Jin and New Art City appeared.At least, you need to wait for a few months to see how the situation develops.

However, if you don't have your own studio, you still have to be controlled by others.The current films are not that big, but Johnnie To's "Dragon and Tiger" and the subsequent "A Hero's True Colors" series must use the studio, otherwise, the danger will be too great.

Is this to delay the filming speed of their Tengyue Entertainment Company?
Boss Shao is really skilled!

Frowning and thinking for a while, Su Cheng felt that it was better to take one step at a time.If it doesn't work, I will go to Bay Island to film.And if Run Run Shaw really did this, he would not go to Hollywood to buy theaters for the time being, but would also buy Li's TV station.When the time comes, let's see if Boss Shao should laugh or cry?
