Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 324 Really discussing the script
After chatting about the MV shooting, Chen Qiming and Tsui Hark walked out together. After taking a few steps, Tsui Hark smiled and said:
"I came here to give you a MV this time, but there were movies from Oriental Movies that I didn't shoot. You have to remember this!"

"Of course!" Chen Qiming nodded and turned his eyes, "How is your cooperation with Oriental Films?"

This year, Tsui Hark’s cooperation with Jiahe officially came to an end.

As one of the directors with the strongest box office appeal in the 90s and [-]s, as soon as Tsui Hark and Golden Harvest broke up, many film and television companies pounced on him.

Among them are Yongsheng and Oriental Film Company.

Wong Pak Ming had worked with Tsui Hark at New Art City before, and with this relationship of old friends, Tsui Hark left after finishing his cooperation with Golden Harvest and reached a cooperation with Oriental Film and Television.

Currently, "Big Three Yuan" co-produced by both parties is being filmed, and Tsui Hark said that this is the project that he has put down.

However, Chen Qiming heard a different meaning from Tsui Hark's words.

That is, the cooperation between Oriental Film and Tsui Hark did not go smoothly.

And this gave Chen Qiming some different thoughts.

The reason why he invited Tsui Hark to be his MV director this time.

Except this guy does have a way as a director.

Another reason is that he actually wants to try to poach someone.

It has been almost half a year since Pacific Cinemas was established.

Until now, theater chains have had no fixed partners.

Among several cinema chains, Pacific Cinema currently ranks at the bottom in terms of the number of movies released.

The reason for all this is that Pacific Cinemas has too few cooperative film companies.

Currently, Pacific Cinemas has only reached cooperation with one and a half companies.

One of them is Changhong Film and Television.

As one of the eight major business operators in Baodao.

Changhong has not withdrawn its investment from Hong Kong in the past two years, and Changhong Film and Television's Hong Kong branch continues to make films.

Changhong Film and Television is a company owned by Baodao film producers, and the movies it invests in will definitely be given priority to be released in Baodao.

But at the same time, they will definitely not give up on the Hong Kong market.

There was a relationship between Chen Qiming and Changhong before. After Chen Qiming established Pacific Cinemas, the two parties immediately reached a cooperation. Films shot by Changhong would be given priority to be released in Pacific Cinemas in Hong Kong.

Besides Changhong, the other half is the best partner formed by Wang Jing.

Originally, there was some turmoil between Chen Qiming and Wang Jing.

But before that, Wang Jing took the initiative to contact Chen Qiming and put an end to the matter.

The two parties also reached a verbal agreement that future films with the best partners will be screened in Pacific Cinemas.

However, although Best Partner Film and Television Company has been established, due to the complicated relationship between Wang Jing and Yong Sheng, all of Best Partner's movies are currently in a state of storage and will probably not be released until next year.

In fact, Chen Qiming also reached a cooperation agreement with another company.

This company is Stephen Chow's film company.

However, because Stephen Chow had just withdrawn his shares from Cai Xing Company, there was no sign of a new company, and according to what Chen Qiming knew from the information in his dream, Stephen Chow's film company would be very slow in filming in the future.

Although his movies in the following years have done very well at the box office, for a theater chain, he still prefers movie companies that release movies more frequently.

Therefore, Stephen Chow basically does not have a partner at present.

So, all in all, Pacific Cinemas currently has only one and a half partners.

One and a half, plus Chen Qiming's Qiming Film and Television, this is simply not enough for a theater chain that needs movies to maintain operations.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is currently planning to vigorously explore partners.

Tsui Hark is one of his targets.

It's just a pity that Tsui Hark had just broken up with Golden Harvest, and Huang Baiming contacted Tsui Hark and added him to the lineup of Oriental Cinema. Chen Qiming had no chance at all.

Therefore, Chen Qiming could only choose to slowly explore Tsui Hark's tone.

But he didn't expect that before he mentioned it, he actually heard Tsui Hark express his dissatisfaction with Oriental Cinemas.

"It's not very pleasant. Huang Baiming likes to get involved in film shooting. I'm thinking about whether to continue to cooperate with him."

Tsui Hark did not hide anything and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Huang Baiming.

Chen Qiming was not surprised at all by this.

Who is Huang Baiming?That was one of the Seven Monsters of New Art City.

Although Tsui Hark was on the same level as him, Huang Baiming was Tsui Hark's boss in the original Xinyi City.

Moreover, Huang Baiming himself is a very outstanding filmmaker.

Tsui Hark went to work under his film company. It would be strange for Huang Baiming not to interfere in his film shooting!

“Are you interested in cooperating with Pacific?

You know, although I am a producer, I never interfere in the filming of the movie.

If you come to the Pacific side, you don’t have to worry about freedom of filming. "

Chen Qiming stopped and looked at Tsui Hark.

"This..." Tsui Hark smiled bitterly, "Boss, if you had told me this two days earlier, I would have agreed directly. Now..."

"What do you mean?" Chen Qiming's heart sank.

Tsui Hark smiled bitterly:
"I took the lead with my boss and planned to let Jet Li and I collaborate on a heroic film similar to "The Green Hornet."

There is also a remake of the drama Shanghai Tang! "

After a pause, he looked at Chen Qiming, "How about I tell Boss Xiang and let you get involved?"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

Chen Qiming shook his head.

After staying in Hong Kong for a long time, Chen Qiming also found out some situations of major companies.

On the surface, Jiahe is the most difficult company to get along with, domineering and likes to go it alone.

But from the perspective of theater chains, Yongsheng is actually the most difficult and annoying company to deal with.

Two sides and three swords.

This is the title Chen Qiming gave to this company.

Because of the company's large scale, it has many actors who have signed film contracts, including Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Jet Li and many other actors with box office appeal in Hong Kong.

This makes Yongsheng feel like I am the best in the world.

among all film companies in Hong Kong.

Yongsheng's share is the highest compared with theater chains.

With theaters independently responsible for publicity, their share is still as high as [-]%.

This was the case with Andy Lau's "Chariots of Fire" before.

Although Pacific Ocean made money from this drama, the money earned was really very small, only equivalent to a movie with a box office of 2000 million.

In addition, Yongsheng is also very domineering when it comes to investing in movies. They generally do not accept investment from theaters.

Well, this is very uncomfortable for theaters.

Especially in the past few years, when the economy has started to slump, it all depends on getting movies released. If you don't invest, you really can't make much money.

Let Chen Qiming seek cooperation with Yongsheng, but Chen Qiming is unwilling.

Therefore, he did not give up on Tsui Hark, but thought about it and said:

"Actually, if you haven't signed an agreement with Yongsheng, you can consider my side.

I've never been a solitary eater.

If you cooperate with me, I will appropriately give up my investment share to you! "

Chen Qiming's words had a great impact on Tsui Hark.

He couldn't help but ponder.

Investment share is definitely very attractive to Tsui Hark.

This is what he always expected.

In recent years, Tsui Hark has become very famous in Hong Kong and is a top filmmaker.

But no one knows that he is actually just a part-time worker.

His films first came from New Art City, and later he established a film company studio with the support of Golden Harvest.

At that time, his idea was to make a lot of money.

As a result, the results were far from satisfactory.

Over the past few years, he personally could not account for any investment share in the movies he produced.Finally, I had the opportunity to occupy part of the investment, but it was taken away by Golden Harvest in the form of a theater chain.

In short, after all these years, he is still a wage earner.

Thinking of the original Jiahe Cinema Line, Tsui Hark couldn't help but ask: "How do you plan to cooperate with me?"

"It's still a satellite model, but you are not my branch. You have autonomy, and if you don't need my investment, you can invest in production independently.

The only thing I need is that your movie can only be released in Pacific theaters.

in addition……"

Seeing that Tsui Hark was interested in making a move, Chen Qiming immediately gave an overview of his cooperation model.

Overall, there is no improvement in the cooperation model of Chen Qiming's Pacific Cinemas.

The only advantage is that he promises not to interfere in the film production of the partner company.

In addition, he is not greedy when it comes to film investment.

Anyway, if you are short of investment, I can help make up for it. If you are not short, I will not invest, and I will not not arrange a schedule for you just because I have no investment.

In short, what Pacific pays attention to is fairness and justice.

"let me consider it!"

Tsui Hark seemed moved, but he didn't agree immediately.

In this regard, Chen Qiming did not rush him.

Everything must be done slowly.

……

In the evening, the entire crew of the MV shooting went to a nearby restaurant to have a good meal.

Well, this meal is not a treat for Chen Qiming.

It was Li Ruotong who invited him.

Li Ruotong's purpose in becoming the heroine of this MV is very clear, that is, she came for Chen Qiming.

Li Ruotong made his debut in Hong Kong in 1990, during which time he collaborated with Tsui Hark twice.

She appears in "City of Monsters" and "Burning Red Lotus Temple".

Last year's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" even made her a new generation of goddess in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and her popularity was overwhelming.

However, after the TV series became popular, her popularity increased greatly.

But the role has its advantages and disadvantages. The role of Xiao Longnu completely imprisoned her.

She starred in two movies during this period, both of which were unsatisfactory in terms of reputation and box office.

As time goes by, the increase given to her by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is slowly weakening, but she is still the same.

This made her anxious.

This time she learned from Tsui Hark that Chen Qiming was filming a music video and after listening to some of Tsui Hark's suggestions, she immediately took action.

I plan to take this opportunity to catch up with Chen Qiming, a man who has considerable influence in the film industry.

Therefore, during the filming period, she was treated every now and then, just to build a good relationship with Chen Qiming in order to get a good role in Qiming Film and Television's subsequent movies.

After all, Michelle Reis and Vivian Chow are examples of this.

Each of them received the support of Chen Qiming's recording resources and suddenly became a new big singer.

One person became the heroine of "Death is Coming" with the support of a Hollywood team, sharing the stage with Lai Ming. It is said that Zhou Huimin is also the leading heroine.

This is really envious!

The group of people ate and drank until about twelve o'clock.

In order to protect his throat, Chen Qiming didn't plan to drink more, but he couldn't resist Li Ruotong who came over to toast again and again, and finally returned to the hotel in a daze after drinking.

Less than 2 minutes after he lay down, a knock on the door woke him up from the bed again.

"Sister Ruotong, you..."

Looking at Li Ruotong leaning against the door frame, Chen Qiming was very drunk.

He realized there might be meat tonight.

Is Li Ruotong beautiful?

To be honest, it's really pretty.

She is not a pure classical beauty.

If you look carefully, you will find that her eyes look like they are of mixed race.

The only thing that's a bit of a pity is...it's too small...

"Mingzai, let me discuss with you the...plot we will be filming tomorrow!"

Li Ruotong showed Yang the MV script in his hand.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming felt a little funny.

What kind of plot can a MV have? It only takes one or two pages of words.

Moreover, looking at Li Ruotong's drunken appearance, does it look like he is discussing the plot?
They are obviously here to clear the pipes!

Chen Qiming did not let Li Ruotong in immediately.

He was thinking about whether letting her in would have a bad impact on him.

Moreover, he is still in contact with Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin.

He really can't hold off on one thing.

If you really do this, will it affect you?

These are all things to consider.

Finally, Chen Qiming came to a conclusion.

I think too much.

This is obviously a discussion about the plot, right?

The King of Heaven also came to discuss the plot.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask Li Ruotong.

Therefore, Chen Qiming let Li Ruotong into the house.

As for what you did after entering the house?
Discuss the plot, discuss the plot, discuss the plot.

Say the important thing three times.

……

With Li Ruotong participating in the discussion of the plot, Chen Qiming finally felt less lonely while filming the MV in the Mainland.

This situation lasted for about three days.

On October [-]th, the MV for the song "Jiangnan" officially came to an end.

After filming the MV for "Jiangnan", Chen Qiming did not immediately invest in the remaining MV filming. Instead, he flew back to Hong Kong with Li Ruotong after filming.

Chen Qiming certainly didn't want to follow Li Ruotong to discuss the plot.

He came to Hong Kong for business.

The 1995 Rookie Singing Contest sponsored by TVB has begun.

He got to spend a few days as a judge.

In addition, he was invited by TVB to attend this year's Jade Singer Congratulations on the 13th day.

In recent years, TVB’s suppression of ATV has gradually weakened.

ATV has begun to emerge, and there is a strong tendency to eliminate TVB from its position as the number one TV station in Hong Kong.

Affected by this, TVB began to invite celebrities to help out.

This year's Jade Singer Congratulations celebration is like this.

In addition to Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings and other popular singers, TVB also spent HK$300 million to invite Chen Qiming to sing on stage.

For the sake of money, Chen Qiming agreed to attend.

At that time, he will perform three songs on stage.

As for the game show about Jade Singer He Taiqing.

To be honest, that has little to do with Chen Qiming.

His task is to sing three songs and let TVB gain popularity in his name.
