Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 137 The Difficult Big Brother

Inside the Jiahe Building.

In the office, Huang Bingyao finished reading the script submitted by Zhang Yang, turned to He Guanshang and said: "Boss, there is no problem. Although the structure of the script seems a bit simple, it is a very complete story, and it is an action movie..."

At the end of these words, although Huang Bingyao didn't say any more, the meaning was obvious.

In the final analysis of action movies, it depends on the fighting scenes. He is not an expert in this aspect, but the publicity in front of him is.

He Guanchang nodded and said nothing more.

After experiencing the popularity of "Mr. Zombie" and "Slaying the Wolf", he no longer has any doubts about Zhang Yang's talent in action films. What's more, "The Legend of Shushan", which he and Zou Wenhuai were optimistic about, has hit the market. It really hit the two of them a bit, so much so that they still haven't recovered yet.

"1000 million investment is not a small amount, Yangzi, you have to take a good shot this time."

Looking at Zhang Yang in front of him, He Guanchang actually took the initiative to hold Zhang Yang's hand, with a serious look on his face.

There is no trace of his previous arrogance in his appearance.

It is said that one learns from one's mistakes. Xu Ke's 3000 million investment only made a huge loss of 500 million at the box office, which really made He Guanchang sober.

So much so that when he saw Zhang Yang now, he couldn't remember the previous quarrel between the two, but could only remember how good Zhang Yang was.

Yes, it’s great to be public.

"Fist of Heroes" won the third place in Hong Kong Island this year, and the overseas box office is even more popular. The low-cost "Mr. Zombie" is even more outstanding in terms of making money, especially the box office performance in the Japanese market, which is no better than Golden Harvest's top star Chenglong. To be worse.

Although the momentum of "Slaying the Wolf" has slowed down slightly, compared with the production cost of 800 million, its final box office results of around 500 million also successfully allowed Golden Harvest to recover the cost and make a small profit at the same time...

Compared with Xu Ke, the gold-eating beast, the Zhang Yang in front of him really made He Guanchang more and more pleasing to the eye.

And He Guanchang's warm and polite greetings made Zhang Yang, who was sitting opposite him, particularly uncomfortable.

What is this old guy doing?

Didn't he think that he was very unhappy before, but the face he showed now really made Zhang Yang uncomfortable.

"Mr. He, don't worry, I know exactly how to film."

After getting the script back from Huang Bingyao, Zhang Yang couldn't stay in this office for even a second.

After replying politely, he immediately stood up and left Jiahe, returning to Yingyang.

After sitting in the office of Yingyang Pictures again, Zhang Yang began to arrange the cast according to the script.

Naturally, the starring role will be played by Zhang Yang himself, and the following roles will need to be carefully considered by Zhang Yang.

First of all, Watson, this undercover role is not easy to play. After Zhang Yang thought about it again and again, he finally decided that Simon Yam, the best actor under Yingyang Pictures, will play the role. With him in charge, Zhang Yang can feel at ease even if the role is difficult to control. few.

The partner of the Vietnamese gang in the film, who was later turned into a tainted witness, was originally played by Lin Guobin. Now Lin Guobin happens to be under his banner, so naturally he can play the role. Watson's girlfriend Qiu Di can be played by Li Saifeng If Yang Tsai, who is under Ma Jun, can be asked to take the post, Qian Jiale or the young Zou Zhaolong can be asked to take the post.

In addition to the roles of these actors, the most critical thing is definitely the Vietnamese gang trio.

The third brother Ah Hu, this role is not too important. If Qian Jiale does not appear, Qian Xiaohao can be played.

As for the second brother Tony, the casting of this role became more troublesome.

The first is Zou Zhaolong, the star of the original film. He is only 16 years old now. The difference in appearance and temperament is really too big to allow him to play. As for Zhou Billy, although he is domineering, he does not have any vicious gangster spirit. If something unexpected happens, Zhang Yang seems to have no choice but to let Lu Huiguang play the role.

As for whether Lu Huiguang can perfectly recreate the taste of Tony, we will have to wait until the audition to know. However, even if Lu Huiguang is really not qualified, Zhang Yang does not have other candidates available, and he is not in a hurry.Among these candidates, the most difficult one to deal with is Brother Zha, the boss of the Vietnam Gang trio.

After all, Lu Liangwei's big boss temperament cannot be picked out among thousands of people. Even if Chen Huimin is invited to fight, he can only play a good boss temperament, but cannot play the role of Lu Liangwei in his bones. The crazy energy of a big boss at the end of his life.

Sure enough, it would be best to invite Lu Liangwei himself.

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, then reached for the phone on the table, found the number in the phone book, and dialed it.

After a while, the phone was connected, and a slightly surprised and excited voice rang.

"Brother Yang? Wow, why are you looking for me when you have time?"

"I have something to ask you for a favor. If you have time, can we come out and get together tonight?"

"Okay, okay, when?"

"Let's do this. I'll wait for you at Broadcast Road Cafe. You can come find me after get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang stood up and left the office.

……

Evening, 06:30.

In a private room of a cafe next to Broadcasting Channel.

Zhang Yang was stirring the coffee with a spoon when the box door was suddenly pushed open and Zhou Xingxing walked in with a happy face.

Ever since the two met by chance during the last episode of "Fist of Heroes", Zhang Yang had promised Zhou Xingxing that if he came to the boxing gym, he could learn boxing for free in the future. He also told Chen Yijie to take more care of this young man.

Zhou Xingxing, who got the promise, actually came to the boxing gym several times. However, because he still had to make money for food, even though Zhang Yang provided free lessons, Zhou Xingxing did not stay too long.

Later, when Zhang Yang held the "Fighting Peak" program, he also tried to invite Zhou Xingxing, but in November Zhou Xingxing had passed the re-examination, was admitted to TVB's wireless actor training class, and signed a contract with TVB , so I had no choice but to refuse.

Fortunately, although cooperation failed many times, the relationship between the two has been tightened unknowingly.

Although Zhou Xingxing is a somewhat withdrawn person in nature, Zhang Yang's repeated support when he was at the bottom has long made him remember Zhang Yang in his heart, so he is naturally very happy to see Zhang Yang at this moment.

"Xingzi, sit down. What would you like to drink? I'll treat you."

"No need, Brother Yang, don't you have something to ask me for? What's the matter?"

Zhou Xingxing was particularly interested in the opportunity to help Zhang Yang, and even asked eagerly.

"I want to invite one of your TVB actors. He has also been in the wireless training class, so I want to ask you if there is any way to contact him so that we can have a chance to talk."

"Looking for an actor?"

Zhou Xingxing was startled, the disappointment in his eyes flashed away, and then he showed a smile and said: "Who is it, Brother Yang?"

"Lu Liangwei, how are you? Do you recognize him?"

"Brother Liangwei? I can try."
