Chapter 271 Making money is too hard

Zhao Chen is a kung fu star, and so is Hong Minghao!
Although there are some differences in temperament and image, there are inevitably some conflicts in resources.

And Zhao Chen was preconceived, and his fame and popularity were better than Hong Minghao's.

If he goes to Thirteen Film and TV, he can only be inferior.

There is nothing wrong with saying that he picked up the leftovers.

"Dad, I want to fight." Hong Minghao said, "If I don't fight, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. Thirteen Film and Television was established not long ago, but in terms of resources, there are probably few companies in the industry that can match it."

Hong Tianping sighed.

Hong Minghao is already in his thirties.

If you don't fight again, I'm afraid you will be old.

Action actors are not like other actors who can play to their seventies and eighties.

Hong Tianping didn't object. He knew better than Hong Minghao that Thirteen Film and Television's resources were definitely better than imagined.

The problem is that there are not many contracted artists under Thirteen Film and Television.

Then there are more resources.

"Ip Man" is the main creative team that he can't eat.

The main creator of the film, apart from the hero Zhao Chen, there is no one from their company at all.

"Go!" Hong Tianping said, "I will ask Uncle Ni to bring some people to go with you."

"Ok?"

Hong Minghao looked at his father in surprise.

"Uncle Ni" named Ni Gang, is an old man in Hong's class and a well-known action director in the circle.

"Thirteen Films doesn't have its own action team yet." Hong Tianping said, "If you take Ni Gang with them, it will be an extra layer of protection. If you can't do anything in front of the screen, at least you can transform behind the scenes."

"Where is the company?" Hong Minghao asked.

This is poaching your own corner!
Although Hong Tianping is not the boss of his company Yingguan Entertainment, he also owns shares.

Otherwise, how could he have signed with Champion Entertainment?
Hong Tianping is a filmmaker at the level of a big brother in Hong Kong. He founded a film and television company decades ago and invested in films.

If it weren't for the decline of Xiangjiang Films and the sluggish market, how could he be inferior to others.

And now?

As I get older, I lose the ambition I had back then.

"Of course there will be no objection from the company." Hong Tianping waved his hand and said, "It's too late for them to be happy! Before, the company's senior management intended to abolish the action team members, but I have been resisting."

"Nowadays, action movies are not as good as before, and the company feels that the team is overstaffed." Hong Tianping said, "But Uncle Ni and the others have been with me for so many years, can I make them lose their jobs?"

"But the company also has difficulties. If it weren't for the explosion of the mainland film market in recent years, the company might not be able to sustain it." Hong Tianping continued, "You have to go to Thirteen Film and Television and take the team there, at least it will be more valued. Some, by the way, also solved a difficult problem for me and the company."

"Uncle Ni and the others?" Hong Minghao asked.

After all, Ni Gang and his family are on the Xiangjiang side, if they go to Shisan Film and Television, they probably have to go to Zhonghai.

Who doesn't want to be with the family?

In addition, he expressed doubts about his father's words.

Maybe what he said was just for his own peace of mind.

"What advice do they have?" Hong Tianping said, "Who doesn't want to earn more money? It's not like you don't know the situation of your Uncle Ni's family."

Hong Minghao said nothing more.

Naturally, he also knew about Ni Gang's family situation.

In fact, apart from their family, many people in the team are not very well-off.

Think about the housing prices in Xiangjiang.

"Really?"

"Transformers" wrapped up in a low-key manner, and Zhang Yu didn't even hold a wrap-up banquet. He just invited the crew to have a good meal afterwards.

When the film was finished, there were not many actors left in the crew.

Zhao Chen was busy running road shows to promote "Ip Man", Xie Qian and others also joined other crews earlier.

And as soon as he returned to the company, Zhang Yu heard Fang Zhengxian mention that Hong Minghao had brought some elite soldiers from Hong's class to the Thirteenth Film and Television.

"Ni Gang also came?"

Zhang Yu said in surprise.

Maybe movie fans are not very familiar with this person, but people in the circle know very well that he is Hong Tianping's number one general.

If the Hong family class took on two plays at the same time.

Then one is led by Hong Tianping, and the other is Ni Gang.

When Zhang Yu filmed "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", he also cooperated with him.

This person is not only experienced, but also very imaginative.

What kind of action style seems to be able to be presented in his hands.

He may not be as well-known as those top action directors in the circle, but his ability may not necessarily be inferior.

"Didn't Yingguan say anything?" Zhang Yu continued to ask.

Yingguan Film and Television is one of the three major film and television companies in Xiangjiang.

Many of Xiangjiang's biggest names are under its banner.

This company was the first to enter the mainland market, and now it can be said to be the best-developed film and television company in Hong Kong.

"Hong Minghao brought his team here because of Hong Tianping's intention." Fang Zhengxian shook his head and said, "Hong Minghao has never been very popular in Yingguan Film and Television, and the few small fires were all because of our film, so he wanted to come to our company Take a gamble."

Zhang Yu nodded, and finally figured it out.

Poor parents!
"It is estimated that Hong Tianping was afraid that Hong Minghao would be neglected when he signed with our company, so he added weight and asked him to bring the team with him." Fang Zhengxian said, "This probably has something to do with Zhao Chen."

"Although they are both action actors, their styles are different." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Hong Minghao's foundation is not as good as Zhao Chen's. If he is given a movie directly, the possibility of hitting the street is very high."

Hong Minghao's current popularity cannot support a movie.

His action style is somewhat different from Zhao Chen's, and the two actually don't have much conflict.

"What do you mean?" Fang Zhengxian said, "He brought the team here, which undoubtedly made up for a shortcoming of our company, and there should be some resources to lean on both emotionally and rationally. Whether it's a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone, or something else"

"Wait a few days, I'll talk to him." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "Let him test the waters with a TV series first. If it succeeds, it will also allow him to accumulate popularity and completely open up his popularity."

"It seems that you already have an idea." Fang Zhengxian looked at Zhang Yu and said with a smile.

The personal relationship between Zhang Yu and Fang Zhengxian is actually pretty good.

The relationship definitely surpassed Zhao Chen.

Hong Minghao came with his team, how could Zhang Yu just sit back and ignore him.

Hong Minghao can't support the male lead of a movie now.

If you continue to play a supporting role, what is the difference from before you came to Thirteen Film and Television?
Therefore, TV dramas have undoubtedly become a breakthrough for them.

Don't underestimate the power of TV shows.

If it becomes popular, then Hong Minghao's popularity and fame will increase significantly.

This also makes up for his current shortcomings.

So which TV series should you praise him?
There are not many that suit him and are easy to get angry.

Such as "Fist of Fury", "Huo Yuanjia" and so on.

The first thing Zhang Yu thought of was "Fist of Fury".

There are many versions of this film, and if we say the most famous one, it is not the Zhen version.

That TV series was popular in Asia back then.

And Zhang Yu prepared this version for Hong Minghao.

As for whether the film will be popular, he doesn't know.

There is a high chance of fire.

Even if it is not popular, it will never lose money.

"Transformers" finished, and the film entered post-production.

As a director, Zhang Yu naturally needs to follow up.

However, there is no need to stare at it all the time, you can spare some time to do other things.

For example, write some of his plays.

"The new film has just finished filming, so it's unavoidably busy." Zhang Yu looked at Hong Minghao with a smile, and said, "Brother Hao can come, and he brought Mr. Ni and others, which undoubtedly solved our company's urgent need. It helped me Very busy."

Hong Minghao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "In the future, please take care of me."

He was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Yu to call him like before.

After all, their identities have changed.

They used to be friends, but now it's the relationship between the boss and the contracted artists.

In addition to the change of identity, Hong Minghao also has self-knowledge.

As for the words of help, they are just polite words.

It is not difficult for Thirteen Film and Television to form an excellent action team.

There are many unemployed people in Xiangjiang.

"What do you think Brother Hao?" Zhang Yu asked.

Hong Minghao shook his head.

If he had thought, he would not have come to Thirteen Film and TV.

What's more, what use is his own idea.

If it's useful, why is he still half-dead, playing a supporting role all the time?

His idea is useful and early fire.

"Where's Teacher Ni?"

Zhang Yu then looked at Ni Gang and asked.

"I have no opinion on how the company arranges it." Ni Gang said with a smile.

He came to Thirteen Film and TV, among other things, the salary is much better than before.

This has satisfied him.

If there is work to do, there is money to be taken.

And get more than before.

"Brother Hao, if you star in a movie directly, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good." Zhang Yu said.

starring?

Hong Minghao was taken aback again.

He really didn't expect to come to Thirteen Film and Television to star in a movie right away.

With his current popularity, it is really difficult to support a movie.

He knows this himself.

Of course, if it's an online movie, that's another story.

He came to Thirteen Film and Television to take a step forward, not to retreat to make online movies.

"So the company is going to let you star in a TV series first to accumulate popularity and increase your reputation." Zhang Yu continued, "A kung fu drama. What's your opinion?"

Kung Fu dramas have been rare these years.

Zhang Yu is still very optimistic about the market situation of this kind of drama.

Especially after "Ip Man" became popular.

"I have no objection. How could I have any objection?" Hong Minghao laughed immediately when he heard it.

He never thought that he would be able to star in a drama as soon as he came to Thirteen Film and Television.

It's not that he didn't have the opportunity to act in TV dramas before, but they were all supporting roles, and he went to the male N number.

"Then you should familiarize yourself with the script first!"

Zhang Yu took out the script and handed it to Hong Minghao and Ni Gang.

"Mr. Ni, I have to work on the action design of this show." Zhang Yu said, "If the TV series becomes popular, a movie of the same name will be made right after."

Ni Gang took the script and nodded.

It's a good thing to have something to do.

After all, you can make more money.

As for whether it is a movie or a TV series, what does it matter?

Ugh!
It's stressful!

Ni Gang is not young, almost sixty years old.

Of course, compared with other famous action directors, he is considered young.

He just became a grandfather not long ago.

Although the son is not cheating, but he is not very good, and he is not as good as him in earning money.

Everything costs money.

Otherwise, who would want to go to the mainland to find food!
Who doesn't want to stay at home.

Isn't it good to tease grandson?
It's so hard to make money.

"You wrote the script?"

Hong Minghao took a look at the script and said in surprise.

"Correct!"

Zhang Yu nodded.

When Ni Gang heard this, he was also surprised.

Zhang Shisan's script is now very popular in the circle.

And he also deserves the word "God".

Needless to say, the movies, the TV series are also amazing.

Three TV shows "Bright Sword", "Snow Leopard", and "Langya Bang", which one is not a big hit?
This drama is just a "screenwriter Zhang Shisan", I am afraid it can attract countless people to sit in front of the TV.

"Mr. Ni, you should familiarize yourself with the script first, and then we will discuss the action style with the director." Zhang Yu said.

Ni Gang nodded.

Zhang Yu himself is a kung fu master, he knows this in his heart.

And he has some very unique insights into motion design.

"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is not so much an action designed by him, as it is designed by Zhang Shisan, who perfected and presented it with his team.

The action design of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also done by Zhang Yu.

Ni Gang watched it and was amazed.

A small number of movie fans feel that the action inside is limp and has no sense of power.

But Ni Gang is very clear that the action style is integrated with the film style.

This is enough to show its power in action design.

Next year's Golden Dragon Award, Best Action Design Award, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is definitely the biggest competitor of "Ip Man".

At least that's how it looks in the movies released today.

This play is written by Zhang Shisan, so he must have some ideas about the actions in it.

""Fist of Fury"?"

Ni Gang flipped through it.

Although he works behind the scenes, he occasionally goes to the front of the stage and plays some roles.

This is also a feature of the Hong family class.

Some even became famous because of this, and transformed into actors.

"Fist of Fury" is a work full of family and country feelings, with only [-] episodes.

This is undoubtedly shorter than those TV series with sixty or seventy episodes.

However, this makes the plot more compact.

Even though there are only thirty episodes, the characters in it are undoubtedly vivid.

Chen Zhen, Huo Yuanjia, Takeda Yumi, Cai Xuefu, Cai Liujin, Ishii Hideaki and so on.

The theme promoted by the film is a spirit of patriotism and national self-improvement.

At the same time, in addition to the wonderful fights in the play, the emotional drama is equally delicate, especially the relationship between Chen Zhen and the Japanese girl Yumi Takeda, as well as the conflicts and twists and turns between personal emotions and national justice.

As expected of Zhang Shisan!

"This show should be popular."

After a while, Ni Gang flipped through the script, saw Hong Minghao looking at him, and said immediately.

At this time, Zhang Yu had already left.

"Is the script he wrote popular?" Hong Minghao smiled.

He had no doubts about it.

He looked at Ni Gang, not actually asking.

"Uncle Ni, if you are interested in playing Huo Yuanjia, I think the company will not refuse." Hong Minghao said, "Anyway, if you want to stay on the set, why don't you earn a penny more? Huo Yuanjia's role is not Not much, I think the salary offered by the company is not low."

When Ni Gang heard this, his heart moved immediately.

He actually likes the role of Fearless.

Not to mention making money.

Well, it doesn't seem that difficult to make money!
