Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 203
Mong Kok, Temple Street.

As the most prosperous area for the small-town economy in the entire Hong Kong Island, a large number of people from all over the world have blocked this long street with crowded people. The vendors guard their positions and shout loudly in an attempt to attract the attention of passers-by.

Zhang Yang wore a baseball cap and sunglasses on his head and followed the crowds to the middle and back of Temple Street. Only then did he meet the person he wanted to see at an inconspicuous stall on the roadside.

Like himself, the man also wore a pair of sunglasses and a floral shirt. However, compared to other vendors, he did not shout as hard as he could. He just held the futon fan and kept fanning it towards his collar. The small stall in front of him On top were some miscellaneous odds and ends such as bracelets, hair ropes, belts, etc.

Seeing Zhang Yang walking through the crowd and reaching the stall, the man was not as indifferent as he seemed. Instead, he took the initiative and said cheerfully: "Hey, you have a discerning eye, handsome boy. The things I have here are not limited to the whole temple." The best stuff on the street, but it’s pretty much the same. Just tell me what you like, and I’ll give you a preferential price if you’re lucky.”

Zhang Yang glanced at the things on the stall, raised his head and glanced at the other party, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"You're good at chatting, aren't you? Why haven't I seen you soliciting customers and hawking?"

"Now, do you know that there is something called fate in this world? I am selling things now, and I am looking for the word fate. People like you, pretty boy, who have a vision for goods, will naturally come to you, a guy without vision. , even if I force them to come, they may not be able to see how good my stuff is, don’t you think?"

Okay, just by his slippery and sharp tongue, you can tell that this person's energy has not dissipated.

Zhang Yang raised his head and took out a business card from his pocket.

"I won't buy anything. You are quite interesting. Why don't you do something with me?"

Hearing this, the man's face suddenly darkened. He did not accept Zhang Yang's business card, but frowned and said cautiously: "Brother, there are some things I can't do. I just want to do a small business."

"Don't worry, you can definitely do this."

As Zhang Yang spoke, he handed the business card forward again.

The man curiously took the business card after hearing this. After seeing the four characters "Yingyang Entertainment" on it, he was startled and his face became serious. He raised his head, looked at Zhang Yang again, and lowered his voice a bit.

"Are you Zhang Yang? The Zhang Yang from Jiahe?"

Zhang Yang did not answer directly, but raised the brim of his hat and pulled down his sunglasses so that the other party could recognize his face.

"It's guaranteed to be replaced, but it's no longer Jiahe's."

"Do you know me?" the man said anxiously.

"Well, I know."

"Then you still dare to use me? If you don't know, I can tell you clearly, I am now..."

"I know your situation." Zhang Yang waved his hand and interrupted the other party's self-introduction, "Mr. Liang, I am very sincere in inviting you to make a film. You won't ask me to leave empty-handed like this, right? "

"Of course it's no problem." As if he was afraid that Zhang Yang would regret it, Liang Jiahui directly put the business card handed over by Zhang Yang into his pocket, then stepped across the stall, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and said, "This is what you took the initiative to propose. Yes, don’t regret it.”

"If I regret it, why would I come here to find you?"

Zhang Yang smiled, lowered his head and took out his wallet from his pocket, took out 5000 Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it into Liang Jiahui.

"This is considered a deposit. Come to Yingyang Entertainment tomorrow to sign the contract. Go to the front desk and show her my business card. Someone will accompany you to complete the formalities and send you directly to the set. Remember to change into a suit, the role requires it."

Looking down at the 5000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand, and then looking up at Zhang Yang, Liang Jiahui nodded vigorously.

Role needs.

He has been waiting for these four words since he finished filming the sequel "The Curtain" in 83. He has been waiting for too long. He thought he would wait even longer, and might even leave the industry completely. I have been a small vendor peacefully all my life, but now everything seems to have changed.

"gone."

Without saying anything more, Zhang Yang waved his hand and left Temple Street. Only the future actor with a thousand faces was left, touching the business card in his pocket, taking a deep breath, and fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

……

The matter of recruiting Tony Leung Ka-fai has not been exaggerated by Zhang Yang. After all, the film has not been finished yet. Even if he wants to promote it, it is a bit inappropriate. Besides, compared to Jianghuren Pictures' film, Zhang Yang has a more important thing at the moment. To do.

That is to speed up the filming of "The Ultimate Fighter" so that this film can be released as scheduled during the Spring Festival.

Time waits for no one, and if Zhang Yang remembers correctly, the Spring Festival of 85 was also a year with extremely fierce box office battles. During this Spring Festival, Golden Harvest launched Hong Jinbao's leading "Lucky Star", which was a huge success. It has a box office of 3000 million, and New Art City also launched "Gong Xi Fa Cai" with a box office of more than 800 million.

In addition to these two companies that are now at their peak, Great Wall Films, a representative of the left, also introduced "Kapok Kasaya" from the mainland, which grossed more than 500 million at the box office. Although it failed to repeat the glory of Jet Li's Shaolin series, it was a real deal. A blockbuster movie.

Not to mention the follow-up in 85, this is the year when Cheng Long breaks out in full force. If it can't make some noise during the Spring Festival, the box office data in the second half of the year will only be even more ugly.

The shot of "The Ultimate Fighter" doesn't have to be popular, but it must ring, and it must ring in time enough!
With this idea in mind, on the day after the outdoor shooting was completed, Zhang Yang led the camera crew directly to Stanley. Relying on the venue rental plan previously negotiated with Stanley, he took the entire crew and started directly Shooting continuously day and night.

Under this somewhat extreme environment and filming pressure, Zou Zhaolong could not bear the heavy pressure several times. Fortunately, Zhang Yang was there to take care of the scene, so no trouble was caused, and the film was successfully released before January 1th. Officially completed.

After the closing banquet, a large number of props, set managers, and lighting technicians immediately went to Bowling Street to relax. Even some actors were no exception. After all, the shooting environment in Stanley was so special. After struggling for about a month without sleep, I couldn't help but want to vent.

However, the people under his command can vent, but Zhang Yang and Chen Jiashang have no time to vent.

When the filming is over, that is just for ordinary actors. For Zhang Yang and Chen Jiashang, who are also responsible for editing and post-production work, their work is only half done.

After spending more than half a month sleepless in the company, their hard work finally paid off. In time for the 85 Lunar New Year, all work on the "Ultimate Fighter" film was finally completed and is just waiting to be released!
