Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 63 Shi Nansheng

Just when Su Cheng was about to leave, an unexpected and surprised person walked up to him and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Miss Shi, why are you here?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.

Hearing this, before Shi Nansheng could speak, Huang Xizhao introduced with a strange expression: "Boss, she is doing publicity work in our Tengyue TV station."

About this, Su Cheng really didn't know.His memories of Shi Nansheng all come from her famous husband Xu Ke in later generations.When New Art City was first established, Teng Yue Entertainment Company hired her.

Since Zeng Zhiwei's accident, it seems that Shi Nansheng has disappeared. He never thought that he would meet him here.Xiangjiang is really small!
Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I wonder if I still have a chance to work in Tengyue?"

"Oh?" Su Cheng glanced at her with great interest, and Su Cheng said, "Isn't it suitable to work here?"

"I want to change my job!" In front of the general manager Huang Xizhao, Shi Nansheng did not shy away.

Seeing this, Su Cheng first said to Huang Xizhao: "You go and deal with the re-signing of the contract first, and I will talk to Miss Shi."

"Okay, boss!"

After he left, Su Cheng asked curiously, "You and Tsui Hark?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Nansheng's face changed slightly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to do with him."

Slowing down, she continued: "I don't want to continue working in the TV station, nor do I want to do things related to publicity. I wonder if Mr. Su will give me a new job?"

Staring at her for a while, Su Cheng could feel that Shi Nansheng had already felt a little bit tempted by Tsui Hark, but it was not known whether it was because of the scandal or something, but the slightest sprout of affection was suddenly cut off.In fact, this is also good.After maintaining a relationship for decades, isn't it "abandoned" after all?
Such as Alan Tam, Zeng Zhiwei, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Liang Xiaolong, etc., it is very difficult for a group of people to provide a stable and down-to-earth home.In their eyes, as long as they are not brought in front of you and mess around outside, they will show their true qualities.If it weren't for Shi Nansheng's outstanding ability, I'm afraid she and Tsui Hark wouldn't have maintained their husband and wife relationship for so many years.

After thinking this through, Su Cheng said with a smile: "I am honored to have a talented woman like Ms. Shi join me. I just wonder if Ms. Shi is interested in working in Hollywood?"

"What does Mr. Su mean?" Shi Nansheng asked doubtfully.

Su Cheng explained: "Our Tengyue Entertainment intends to enter Hollywood within the next year, but for that side, it must be very difficult in the early stage. Ms. Shi has lived abroad and has outstanding abilities. If possible, I hope You can go there to set up our branch. However, you need to stay at least one or two years before returning to Xiangjiang.”

Regarding this matter, Su Cheng is actually not afraid of others knowing.For one thing, although their company's background is not strong, there is no doubt about its development prospects.No matter how big the steps are, there is still something to be done.After all, there is no shortage of funds, no shortage of good scripts, no shortage of good directors, and no shortage of crews.The only difference is the publicity channels and distribution.

When everything is ready, if Golden Harvest can't do it, they will do their part for Tengyue Entertainment!

After being stunned for a long time, Shi Nansheng finally woke up from the startled state.In her eyes, Tengyue Entertainment is going to enter Hollywood now, which is not a good time!After all, there is not enough foundation.But after thinking about it more carefully, I think there is still a slight possibility of success and a firm foothold.

Why do you think so?

How did Tengyue Entertainment rise?Wasn't it all of a sudden?
Furthermore, even if Su Cheng was so reckless, Liang Shuyi and the others were wise people, and everyone had no opinion on the decision, so why question it?
Thinking of this, Shi Nansheng said: "I'll go! Thank you, Mr. Su, for your appreciation!"

After waving his hand, Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's still too early to say that. Before that, I hope you can stay with Manager Liang Shuyi and learn more about management. It's easy to get started when you go to Hollywood."

"Thank you boss!" Shi Nansheng nodded.

……

On the way away from the TV station, the sound of the system kept ringing.

After blocking the information, Su Cheng looked through it silently.Another batch of rewards arrived.However, there are not many people interested in him on the TV station, so he doesn't pay much attention.Wait until you need to use the script.

The next day.

Tengyue Cinemas cooperated with Golden Harvest Cinemas to hold a press conference for the release of the film "The Best Son-in-Law" in a "two-line joint".

This can be said to have caused another huge wave.

At present, the large theater chain in Xiangjiang is originally the four of them competing for supremacy.Since the rise of Tengyue Entertainment, although Shaw Brothers is also making profits, not only are they making fewer films, but the box office is still poor.As a result, many people thought that Shaw Brothers Films was going to close down, and only the theaters were left to maintain it.

Boss Lei's Golden Princess theater line has just been established and is still on the sidelines.Due to the abolition of the guarantee system for movies released, there are more and more independent movies.

Once the two "Big Macs" of Golden Harvest and Tengyue cooperate, the Shaw Brothers will suffer the most serious losses!After all, it and Jiahe are rivals, and it also broke up with Tengyue.It looks like a miserable sunset.

wireless.

Fang Yihua, who heard the news, slammed the table down, and said angrily: "Then what does the Su family kid mean? Doesn't he know about our relationship with Jiahe? How dare he?"

Run Run Shaw looked leisurely, and said with a light smile, "Why don't you dare? They can poach people here and bring Shu Qi over here, so that we can't live broadcast the awards ceremony. It's not too unexpected to join forces with Golden Harvest things."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua became even more angry, and said with an ugly face: "Sixth brother, what should we do?"

After waving his hands to let her calm down for a while, Run Run Shaw said, "It's still what we said before, let's hold on first, and wait for the dust to settle here before thinking about countermeasures. Let them jump up and down first." ! In addition, find the person in charge of Cathay Pacific and make trouble for them."

"It's too cheap for them." Fang Yihua muttered.

In this regard, Run Run Shaw still smiled.However, an imperceptible sneer disappeared in a flash, and even the sixth sister-in-law beside her didn't notice it.

……

New Art City.

Everyone in Maijia sat together for a meeting.

Huang Baiming said disdainfully: "In my opinion, instead of paying attention to them, it is better to do our job well. When the movie is released, compare the box office. What are you afraid of? Didn't Golden Harvest back then kill the prosperous Shaw Brothers?" ? With our wisdom, Tengyue is still the same. I don’t believe that every movie they produce can be a big hit? Hollywood studios can’t guarantee it!”

These words were true, and immediately aroused everyone's confidence.

If you are afraid of this and that, and still make movies, why start a company?It's better to break up and change industries!

Glancing at him with a smile, Mai Jia said, "That's right! That's the reason!"

Shi Tian also said: "Most of us here are famous in the industry earlier than Tengyue Entertainment. If it succeeds, we will fail? I think everyone is scared by the box office of a series of movies they produced. Stop it. Besides, didn’t Golden Harvest’s "Junior and Brother" also stand out in it? Although the box office did not exceed [-] million Hong Kong dollars, it is not low! With it as a template, why should we worry about it?"

Immediately afterwards, they cheered themselves up in twos and threes.

After a long time, Mai Jia said: "I have good news for everyone. The first film we are planning to shoot in New Art City will be finished soon. When the box office sells well, I will be the master. How about treating everyone to a big meal?"

"Boss Mai is proud!" A group of people booed.

After the meeting, the three shareholders, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian, ​​sat together.Mai Jia smiled wryly and said: "You don't know yet, do you? The boss Su of Tengyue Entertainment wants to go to Hollywood to develop, and the script is already in preparation. As for the Xiangjiang box office market, people don't look down on them at all. They have always focused on North America. Maybe, one day a blockbuster movie with a box office of over [-] million will come out."

"Over [-] million? If it's Hong Kong dollars, it might be possible. U.S. dollars? Go to sleep!" Shi Tian sarcastically said.

Huang Baiming also showed disbelief.But Maggie had a heavy heart.He has spent time abroad and knows the impact of Hollywood blockbusters.He didn't know whether Tengyue Entertainment would be able to flourish.But at least, the drive and courage that others have are not comparable to him.

Besides, who knows if it will be successful?Didn't Bruce Lee gain a great reputation amidst the ridicule of everyone?
You have to face up to your opponents, and you can't blindly believe that your abilities are the top ones.

I just looked at the two people around me, but there was no reminder in the end.Shaking his head, he stopped bringing up this topic, and shifted to the drama that was about to be completed.This is the first film they directed, so don't be careless.

……

Wang Jing once again gave Su Cheng the sub-shots he drew.

Although it is still a mess, there is always some progress.After thinking about it, Su Cheng gave him the storyboard of the script "Back to the Future" that he was perfecting.

Half an hour later, Wang Jing said with a frustrated face, "I'm sorry, boss, I'll go back and study."

Signaling him to sit down first, Su Cheng pointed to the script and said, "Talk about your own opinion first."

Scratching her head, Wang Jing said, "I think some dialogues are not good enough."

Then, the fat man took out the script, pointed to the questions in it, and spoke carefully.Although the Xiangjiang script written by this guy himself is also a rough idea, not very detailed.But when it comes to talking about Hollywood blockbusters, it turns out to be straightforward.I don't know if he knew it already, or he just made up for it recently, but Su Cheng didn't care.

The point is, what he said really makes sense.

Nodding in satisfaction, Su Cheng said: "This is the Hollywood script I'm going to prepare for you. I haven't finished the sub-camera, but you can use the script to modify and polish it. Remember, don't let others see it. , This is classified. There are very few films about sci-fi themes, and I don’t want to be cut off before then.”

"Boss, I know the seriousness of the matter!" As he said, he tightly clenched the hand holding the script.

Glancing at him, Su Cheng asked, "How is your drive going?"

Wang Jing said: "Almost all directors have the idea of ​​going to Hollywood to shoot blockbuster movies. I told them what the boss said, so I don't know what the final result will be?"

"Leave it alone! When the first film we made sells well at the box office, those directors may panic." Except for the directors of literary films, who doesn't panic?There are dozens of other people's dramas, so where is your motivation?

Naturally, more people will come to your door!

When mentioning this, Wang Jing hesitated and said, "Boss, if their storyboards are not good enough, do we really plan to stop them from directing Hollywood blockbusters in the future?"

Gazing at him jokingly, Su Cheng said, "Do you think I look like a villain?"

After a pause, he continued: "I just want to force their courage. If you want to shoot such a film, the production cost is a big problem. If you don't have enough ability, do you dare to delegate power? Take the " Kramer and Mrs. Kramer” as an example, making this kind of blockbuster into a family story, do you think it has this fame and achievement?”

"That's true!" Wang Jing muttered.

Su Cheng further said: "The reason why Hollywood blockbusters are grand and the characters are energetic is not like our small family here in Xiangjiang. In addition to the large investment, the key is that the director's filming techniques are different. They will use sports shooting methods. If there is If necessary, I hope you can take the lead in learning."

Why did director Xiangjiang know this method and not use it?All because the camera is too heavy to carry.You can only use the rocker method, which is simple and convenient.

However, if some shots are produced in this way, they will not feel like a blockbuster.

Hearing this, Wang Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, why don't we hire Hollywood photographers to take pictures."

"Ha ha……"

With a sarcastic smile, Su Cheng said, "Do you know what I want to set up a Hollywood branch for? I don't want Hong Kong movies to be like martial arts movies in the 60s, action movies in the 70s, comedies today, or gunfights in the future." Movies and so on gradually disappeared in the long river of history."

Paused, and then said: "To shoot a drama, you can hire directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes production staff from Hollywood, but my idea is that they cannot take the lead. This is to promote Xiangjiang movies. If it is according to what you said In that case, if the photographer is looking for someone from Hollywood, then why should I look for you? I have spent so much effort on something that a mature director in Hollywood can accomplish, so I am in a hurry? "

These words made Wang Jing's face blush.

Think about it, the boss's intentions are really deep!Pushing Xiangjiang directors, entertainers, and other behind-the-scenes staff to Hollywood is to reduce costs, and to make them famous.I really don't know what is good or bad!

Bite the bullet, Wang Jing said: "Well, then I will talk to those photographers. If they have ideas, they should practice hard. Then they can get started directly."

Glancing at him lightly, Su Chengcheng stopped talking.As for whether Wang Jing didn't care about it, he actually didn't care.Although talents are rare in this world, there are also many.If you don't have any awareness, how far can you go even if you are forced to promote?

Everything depends on your choice!
