Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 121 Cover Characters
The next day, at noon.

Zhang Yang, who had woken up from his sleep, did not wake up Man Yu, who still looked tired, put on his clothes, got up and went downstairs.

Rolling down the car window and feeling the cool wind of Hong Kong Island at the end of December, Zhang Yang returned directly to Yingyang Pictures.

He has promised Mr. Qiu of ATV to plan the "Ultimate Fighter" program. Naturally, the list of contestants will have to be selected. After all, the program is a program after all. If the contestants are not screened well, most of the boxers will His taciturn character naturally makes it difficult to support the watchability of this program.

So for this, Zhang Yang not only looked for people in the boxing gym, but also asked people from Yingyang Pictures to search for martial artists in the Hong Kong film and television industry and ask if anyone was willing to participate in this program, hoping to give "The Ultimate Fighter" injects a different effect.

When he came to the office, Qian Jiale, who stayed in the company, took the initiative to hand a list to Zhang Yang.

"Look at this list, Brother Yang. We have asked all the martial arts masters in Hong Kong, and these are the only ones who are willing to participate in the show."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang took the list and glanced at it, his eyes quickly focused on two names.

"Ask these two if you have time for an interview this afternoon."

Qian Jiale lowered his head and glanced at the two names on the list.

"Zou Zhaolong, Lin Guobin, okay, I'll call them now to ask them."

"Go quickly." Zhang Yang waved his hand, signaling Qian Jiale to hurry up.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yang is so anxious, these two people are both rare talents.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Zou Zhaolong, not to mention the most classic Chang Wei also said you don't know martial arts. His wonderful performance in films such as "The Fuse" alone is destined to make Zhang Yang never miss him.

The other Lin Guobin may be unfamiliar to some people, but as long as his signature role, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, he is definitely a household name. In addition, his handsome face resembles that of Li Ming, and he is obviously malleable. Talent.

After finalizing these two candidates, the other people on the list seemed a little lackluster. Zhang Yang carefully read it twice and made sure that he had not missed any talents who would become famous in the future, so he had to put down the list.

Despite these two unexpected blessings, there is obviously still a long way to go before the quota of sixteen contestants.

There will definitely be more people that can be recruited in the boxing gym, but the problem is that they are afraid that these people will not be able to produce results.

Where else can we get more people to come from?
Just when Zhang Yang was hesitant, Qian Jiale pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Zhang Yang: "Brother Yang, they have already done it. Lin Guobin is on his way to us. Zou Zhaolong said that he would be here at six in the evening." It’ll take about a minute to come.”

"okay."

Zhang Yang nodded, and was about to ask Qian Jiale if he had any other candidates to recommend, but suddenly he reacted.

Isn't there another person who is suitable for fighting and acting in shows?Why do you have to give up the near and seek the far away?

In terms of talent, Qian Jiale is definitely one of the best, and he also has a foundation in kung fu. If he appears on the show, the results will definitely not be bad!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang didn't hide it and said directly to Qian Jiale: "Ale, are you interested in this show?"

"Huh? What? Me?"

Qian Jiale pointed to his nose, feeling surprised.

Obviously he didn't expect that after all the trouble of finding someone, the person to star in the show actually fell on himself.

Then he quickly waved his hands and said: "Brother Yang, I can't do it, I'm not a serious boxer..."

"This show, all the newbies are invited. If you are good at boxing, I won't ask you to come. Ah Le, your athletic talent is very good. If you can show it in the show, everyone can Remembering you will also be beneficial for making movies in the future, so please think about it carefully."

Zhang Yang still knows that a tough melon is not sweet.Therefore, he did not impose any requirements on Qian Jiale, but asked him to consider it carefully.

In his previous life, this king of stand-ins could only hide behind the scenes to show off his talent. This time, Zhang Yang also wanted to give him a chance. He didn't want him to be buried in front of the audience for half his life like he did in his previous life. .

After hearing what Zhang Yang said would be beneficial to filming, Qian Jiale also hesitated and was obviously a little tempted.

But he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he scratched his head and said, "I want to ask my brother about this later."

"Okay, go ask him. Once you've made your decision, tell me as soon as possible. Go ahead."

Zhang Yang waved his hand, indicating that Qian Jiale could leave, but he himself had to stay in the company to prepare for the interview later.

……

While Zhang Yang was preparing for the interview, Hong Kong's "Film Fortnightly" published a summary of the 82 film industry.

Very unexpected.

As the last issue of "Movie Biweekly" in 82, the cover character of the magazine is not the recognized leader in the film industry today, Cheng Long, or Xu Guanjie, who was promoted to the annual box office champion with "The Best Partner", but A new action star...

Show off!

I opened the front page of the magazine and saw a bold title on the title of the first article.

"He may trigger a revolution in action movies!" 》

In the article, the author of this manuscript did not start the discussion directly, but first put a line of data.

The debut film "Black Fist" had a final box office of 630 million in Hong Kong, ranking No. 18 of the year.

A tribute to Li Xiaolong's "Fist of Heroes" with a final box office of 860 million in Hong Kong, ranking third in the annual box office.

The unexpected cross-border director "Mr. Zombie" had a final box office of 890 million in Hong Kong, ranking second in the year!

The innovative and bold work "Slaying the Wolf" has a box office of 480 million in its first week. It is expected to have a total box office of more than 400 million in Hong Kong, locking it into the top ten box office of the year...

After listing a series of data, the author of the article wrote a line of emotion.

Within one year, a total of four films were shot continuously. Except for the debut film, which was surprisingly disappointing, the other three films all reached a box office of tens of millions and entered the top ten at the annual box office. They even won the runner-up and third place at the annual box office. .

As a newcomer to the film industry, Zhang Yang's performance is really eye-catching.

And these are just a list of Zhang Yang's achievements in the film industry. Outside the film industry, Zhang Yang's peak fighting competition has swept the Hong Kong Island fight circle. He even seems to have signed a long-term broadcast contract with ATV, and the mixed martial arts boxing gym is even more popular. It set off a trend across Hong Kong, causing countless colleagues to follow suit and change their names...

There is no doubt that in the entire Hong Kong film industry in 82, if New Arts City's "The Best Partner" was a blockbuster and earth-shattering, then the appearance of Zhang Yang was like a surging wave, and it seems that this wave The turmoil has not subsided yet.

At the end of the article, the writer of "Film Fortnightly" couldn't help but ask questions.

At one time, everyone thought that Cheng Lung would be the second Li Xiaolong to lead the Hong Kong film industry.

With the "failure" of "Master Dragon", the situation has obviously changed.

As Zhang Yang, who revolutionized the fighting circle and led the new trend of action movies in the film industry, he seems to be more qualified to be called the second Li Xiaolong than Cheng Long. But the question is, will he really become the second Li Xiaolong? ?
With the release of "Film Bi-Weekly", this issue suddenly became rampant within Hong Kong Island!
