Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 86 Experiments

Just when Su Cheng was upset, Tengyue TV station finally ushered in a "good start".

The TV series "The Grace of the Earth" directed by Xu Xiaoming surpassed the "Twin-leaf Butterfly" currently being broadcast on TVB in one fell swoop, just like the scene when "Shanghai Bund" was broadcast.

Walking in the streets and alleys, there are voices discussing this TV series everywhere.

Together with Liang Shuyi, who was in Tengyue Entertainment, they found Su Cheng in person, and complimented Su Cheng with a smile: "Congratulations boss, your career is going smoothly."

However, at the moment, Tengyue TV Station is busy.

General Manager Le Yiling said with a solemn expression: "Remember, the boss has already said something about TV dramas, and everything is high-quality. You must not add advertisements just to make money."

"However, those advertisers are clamoring to add drama, otherwise they won't come to our TV station to promote their products."

Hearing this, Le Yiling said coldly: "Remember this group of people. Since they are unwilling to cooperate, our TV station will not beg. Everything will follow the procedure."

"General manager, but this..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Le Yiling interrupted: "Just do as I say! If something happens, I will take responsibility!"

"Yes!"

Le Yiling looked at the other director of the production department again, and said seriously: "Tell Director Xiao, what our TV station wants to do is work, not what it likes. Which TV series can guarantee that everyone will like it? Good!" It’s filming, don’t worry about the rest. Even if the ratings are not good, let him direct the next suitable film.”

"Ah! General Manager, Director Xiao still insists on filming and broadcasting at the same time."

Staring at him coldly, Le Yiling said: "Ask Director Xiao, is he a qualified director or a researcher? Is it for the work or the glitzy honor? Don't tell me he's not good enough to shoot TV series with low ratings. ? Filming and broadcasting at the same time, that was before! I can’t control other TV stations, as long as I work at Tengyue TV station, once we decide on the filming work, we must complete it.”

"Yes, yes, yes, general manager, I will notify you right away!"

After he left, Le Yiling glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Except for TV dramas, other programs produced are the same. Unless we have a meeting to study the withdrawal of it, otherwise, we will go on with it If you want to please the audience, you might as well think about how to improve the program itself. There are no programs that are worthless, and there are no TV series with poor ratings. The key is to see how we do it.”

After a pause, he continued: "You should also know how many comedy movies we had in Xiangjiang before the boss opened Tengyue Entertainment Company? Why did the "Modern Bodyguard" in which the three brothers of the Xu family acted become the most popular movie when the boss made a move? Breaking the previous box office record? Why did Sammo Hung become a popular movie star in one fell swoop? It’s just that they didn’t find the performance mode that suits their own way of acting. If they can’t grasp the core problem, they won’t break through themselves at all.”

"Yes, general manager, we will study the program itself and try to dig out the core content."

Seeing that this group of people understood what she meant, Le Yiling finally breathed a sigh of relief.Finally, he exhorted: "Everyone works together. I hope that in the next year, I can at least stand shoulder to shoulder with TVB, or even surpass it. Do you have confidence?"

"Have confidence!" Everyone said in unison.

Hearing this, Le Yiling smiled in relief.Unite as one, go forward bravely, what else can't be done?
……

Just when the popularity of the TV series "Grace of the Earth" led to crowds of people emptying the streets, the movie "Merry Christmas" was also quietly withdrawn. Although the final box office did not exceed the data value given by the system, it also accumulated a good score of 2413 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.In one fell swoop, it became the top box office movie produced by Tengyue Entertainment.

Due to the huge popularity of the TV series, it caused a chain reaction. Su Cheng postponed the premiere date of "Happy Not to Speak" which had already completed the post-production.It's not too late to wait until it cools down.

At this time, Hollywood has released the movie "Dragon and Tiger", directed by Johnny To and starring Chow Yun-fat.

The film has been promoted for more than half a month, and the Hollywood Ascension Cinemas has a total of 328 theaters and 1682 screens showing it at the same time.Because it is a hot-blooded gunfight type movie, the box office of the premiere broke through 500 million US dollars in one fell swoop, reaching a high box office of 536 million US dollars.This is currently the highest box office record for a Xiangjiang film in North America.

And when Jiang Zhiqiang sent back the good news, "Dragon and Tiger" had already been released for 3 days, and the box office in North America had broken through tens of millions of dollars, reaching 1387 million dollars.Although in Hollywood, this box office is not impressive, but for Xiangjiang, or the entire Tengyue Entertainment Company, it is an unprecedented surprise!

After all, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, the box office has broken more than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars!
However, judging from the attendance rate and daily box office, the box office of this film is in a decline mode. However, if it is a pure "Hong Kong film", it should be regarded as an experimental product.Su Cheng was not too disappointed.At least, through this film, the fame of director Johnnie To and actor Chow Yun-fat has been made public.Great for future releases of True Lies!
……

At Tengyue Entertainment Company, when Su Cheng was discussing with Liang Shuyi which movie to release after the movie "Dragon and Tiger" at the Hollywood Tengyue Cinemas, Xiang Huaqiang came over abruptly.

"Boss Su!"

"To the boss!"

After the two of them sat down, Xiang Huaqiang said bluntly, "Congratulations, Boss Su, for making great achievements in Hollywood!"

Since the news of "Dragon and Tiger" was a big hit at the box office in North America, I don't know how many people in the circle are envious and jealous.

Su Cheng just smiled lightly and said, "I wonder if Boss Xiang is here today?"

For general matters, Xiang Huaqiang would call and come to the door in person, so it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

Xiang Huaqiang said: "Presumably Boss Su also knows that my film company has not produced any good works since "Hitching the Wrong Car". This time, I asked the famous Wen Jun to write a script, and I want to invite your company's I don't know what Mr. Su means when the actors participate in the performance?"

"Of course no problem! I don't know who Xiang Boss wants to find?"

"Wu Mengda and Liang Jiahui."

Hearing this, Su Cheng suddenly understood, no wonder Xiang Huaqiang would go out in person!As long as Wu Mengda is not forced to take on a foreign film and the script is "regular", their Tengyue Entertainment Company will never refuse.On the contrary, because of Li Hanxiang's incident some time ago, all the colleagues involved knew that Liang Jiahui was Su Cheng's "baby lump", and it was difficult to imagine the difficulty of borrowing it out for filming.

Regarding Li Hanxiang's matter, Su Cheng didn't explain too much, and said calmly: "Boss Xiang, can you let me read the script?"

"Others can't do it, you, Boss Su, can't do anything!"

Seeing that Xiang Huaqiang directly took out the script, Su Cheng sighed inwardly: This is well prepared!
At the eye, there are a few big characters "Your My Love" written on it.

Afterwards, Su Cheng opened the contents and looked at it.The story roughly tells that a girl named Xiaojun was beaten by her father in her early years. After she was imprisoned, her mother remarried.Because his stepfather was unwilling to take care of them, Xiaojun went out to work to earn money at a young age in order to support himself and his younger siblings.

Over time, she was introduced as a dancer.During this time, I made a boyfriend.Unfortunately, after she got pregnant unexpectedly, she was abandoned by him.In desperation, in order to make a living, she became a dancer again.

Due to the distress of the family, Xiaojun's younger sister also followed in her footsteps.

At this gloomy moment, she fell in love with a rich doctor at first sight.It's a pity that due to my background, I finally felt inferior and couldn't be together.It wasn't until the two quarreled and got into a car accident that they realized the sincerity of their relationship.

Putting down the script in his hand, Su Cheng understood a little bit, this is very similar to the later "Unstoppable Love".Probably because the script was not perfect, or it was changed during shooting!Looking at the outline of the script, it has borrowed from the previous "Pretty Girl".

According to what Su Cheng's later generations know about Wen Jun, I'm afraid the box office of this film will not be lower than that of "Pretty Girl".

While feeling emotional, Su Cheng said: "The script is good! If you choose a good director, it is expected to break the box office of tens of millions."

These words made Xiang Huaqiang happy in an instant.He asked, "What does Boss Su mean?"

"Leung Ka Fai plays that doctor?"

"Not bad!"

Hearing the definite answer, Su Cheng said: "No problem, he can take on this drama."

Xiang Huaqiang was a little puzzled and said, "Li Hanxiang before that?"

Under a wry smile, Su Cheng explained the matter roughly, and Xiang Huaqiang clicked his tongue and said, "Boss Su is still cautious. If it were me, I'm afraid I won't be able to react. For a play, an actor's future is ruined. not worth!"

How to say Xiang Huaqiang himself is also an actor.I can best understand that feeling.

It's good to refuse!
Stretching out a thumb, he said to Huaqiang: "Then I hope Boss Su will support you in the future!"

"Go forward together!" After a pause, Su Cheng said again: "Make money together!"

When the words fell, both of them laughed.
