Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1835 Hong Kong Style Horror Movie
Followed Lin Daoqiu into his office, and then sat down opposite to Lin Daoqiu.

When receiving Fang Jinsheng's call last night, Wang Jing spent the whole night wondering why Lin Daoqiu called him to New Oriental early in the morning.

After thinking about it for a long time in the study, Wang Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Mr. Lin probably planned to ask me to make a movie, so he let me go there earlier, it must be like this."

Wang Jing felt that Lin Daoqiu called him to New Oriental so early, he must be looking for him to film, otherwise he would not have done so.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu didn't want to find Wang Jing to make a movie. He just wanted to know about Yu Yunxing and his movie "The Fierce Cat".

"Last night, Ah Hong and I went to watch "The Fierce Cat."

""The Fierce Cat"? Oh, the one directed by Yu Yunxing, right? I also played a role in it."

The role that Wang Jing participated in was not charged a lot of money, it was completely a friendship, and his role in the play was not very important, so it would be no problem to find any actor to play it.

"What do you think of Yu Yunxing?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked Wang Jing about Yu Yunxing.

Wang Jing is so shrewd, when he heard Lin Daoqiu's question, he immediately realized that Lin Daoqiu had brought him here just to get to know Yu Yunxing.

Thinking that she was not looking for her to film, Wang Jing secretly sighed inwardly.

"Director Yu is a representative figure of Hong Kong's New Wave film period. He is best at suspense and horror films. Mr. Lin has already seen "The Fierce Cat". I believe you should know something about him from it."

Wang Jing still admires Yu Yunkang very much, especially in the field of horror films, he is very famous in Xiangjiang.

After all, it is very difficult for such niche-themed movies to survive in Hong Kong. There are few big-selling movies, but there are not a few movies made at low cost that sell well.

It's just that this time Yu Yunkang's "The Fierce Cat" did not perform very well at the box office.

When Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong went to the theater last night, the attendance rate was only about [-]%, and it had only been shown for seven days.

In Lin Daoqiu's opinion, the rationing theaters for "The Fierce Cat" should be cut in half these days to increase attendance.

"Boss, this is the box office performance of "The Fierce Cat" for a period of time."

Fang Jinsheng has already brought over the box office results of "The Fierce Cat".

Lin Daoqiu picked it up and took a look, and found that the box office of this movie only broke one million on the day it was released.

It is estimated that after the release, the final box office of "The Fierce Cat" will probably be fixed at between 500 and [-] million.

"In my opinion, the filming of this film is really not very good, and the box office performance also reflects it from the side."

At first, Wang Jing thought that Lin Daoqiu admired Yu Yunkang, so he specifically asked him about Yu Yunkang.

But after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Wang Jing immediately became very confused. Since Lin Daoqiu felt that the filming of "The Fierce Cat" was not good, why did he still pay attention to Yu Yunkang?
"Although the box office of niche-themed movies in Xiangjiang has always been poor, it doesn't mean that I don't like these types of movies. Yu Yunkang is a talent, but he didn't get any good resources before."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, the reason why Yu Yunkang has not been able to become famous is that apart from not getting any good resources, the script is also one aspect that limits him.

The atmosphere of the horror film he created is really easy for people to immerse themselves in, and the process of the film is sometimes tense and sometimes frightening.

But the problem is that in addition to being scary, a good horror movie must have a step-by-step plot, so that people can be more immersed in it.

"Mr. Lin is right. After working with Director Yu these days, I think he is indeed excellent. It is already remarkable to be able to make "The Fierce Cat" like this with limited funds."

Speaking of Yu Yunkang, Wang Jing admired him very much. It seemed that he really respected Yu Yunkang, after all, he did have real materials.

"Please contact him for me and invite him over. I want to have a chat with him."

Naturally, Wang Jing would not refuse Lin Daoqiu's request. Although the relationship between him and Yu Yunkang was not very good, the two of them still established some friendship during the filming of "The Fierce Cat".

If Lin Daoqiu is willing to lend a helping hand to Yu Yunkang, then in time, Yu Yunkang may not only be based in Xiangjiang, but it is not impossible for Yu Yunkang to become an excellent horror film master in the world.

When receiving Wang Jing's movie, Yu Yunkang was fast asleep.

After seeing that the box office results had fallen to the bottom yesterday, he didn't have any thoughts about the follow-up box office of "The Fierce Cat".

He knew very well that the number of theaters for "The Fierce Cat" would definitely be cut from today, so he planned to take a good night's sleep and rest.

When Yu Yunkang got up from the bed when he heard the ringing of the phone in the haze, he picked up the phone and gave a hello.

The person on the phone spoke very fast, Yu Yunkang couldn't hear clearly, he just kept humming, and then hung up the phone.

After returning to the bed and sitting down, Yu Yunkang hadn't realized what he was talking on the phone just now, so he continued to fall down and sleep with his big head.

I don't know how long it took, but when the phone rang again and woke him up, two hours had passed.

"I'm resting, call me later if something happens."

Yu Yunkang who was woken up twice was very unhappy.Because he went to bed very late last night, and he managed to sleep well today, so it's no wonder he would be angry if he was woken up like this.

"Old Yu, I'm Wang Jing, don't sleep, Mr. Lin has been waiting for you for two hours, if you don't come, I'm going to die."

Wang Jing on the other end of the phone didn't expect that when he called Yu Yunkang before, the other party promised well on the phone and kept humming.

But after waiting for almost two hours, Yu Yunkang still hadn't arrived, so Wang Jing hurriedly called him again, unexpectedly he was still sleeping.

"Oh...it's Director Wang. I'm sorry I slept too late last night. I didn't hear your voice clearly just now. What's the matter? You mean Mr. Lin?"

Yu Yunkang still doesn't know why Wang Jing is so anxious.

Wang Jing on the other end of the phone didn't expect that Yu Yunkang didn't understand what he said before, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lin Daoqiu, the boss of New Oriental Pictures, he told me to call you two hours ago when I called you. I would like to invite you to New Oriental for a chat. He has been waiting for you for two hours. You can make up your own mind if you can't come over." Bar."

After Wang Jing finished speaking, she hung up the phone in anger.
