Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 226 The first step in the new world

"Script? Bring it to me and take a look."

Zhang Yang curiously took over the script from Big B.

The moment he saw the title of the script, Zhang Yang's hand couldn't help but tremble.

Then he raised his head, glanced at Big B meaningfully, and asked curiously: "Big B, what is your friend's name?"

"My surname is Lin, my name is Lingnan. We were both friends of Hehetu in the past. When I was in prison in Stanley, we often stayed with him. What about Yangzi? Can this script work?"

Can it work?
Great!
Anyone who knows Hong Kong movies will probably not reject this script called "Prison Storm"!
It's just that he really didn't expect that Lin Lingnan was actually a member of the club and actually served prison time in Stanley. No wonder he could write a script like "Prison Storm"...

But just having a script is not enough. Zhang Yang remembered that Lin Lingnan seemed to have a great brother.

"Big B, do you know that Lin Lingnan has a brother?"

"Of course I know. I heard that I am also involved in the film industry. Oh, no wonder you know. You also know Lin Lingdong?"

really!

How could Zhang Yang not know the name Lin Lingdong?

The Wind and Cloud trilogy starting from "The Legend of Dragon and Tiger" is considered to be Lin Lingdong's famous series, and in the follow-up "Goofy" and "Double Dragon Club", he showed his extremely high skills.

If I remember correctly, Lin Lingdong should still be under the banner of New Art City at this time. If he can be brought over through Lin Lingnan's relationship, it will definitely be a big help, but it will be difficult to pry him over. ah……

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang immediately lowered his voice.

"Big B, has Lin Lingdong read this script?"

Big B was startled when he heard this, scratched his head, and subconsciously said: "I must have seen it before, the two of them are brothers. Since Lingnan is determined to develop into the film and television industry, his script should be written by his own brother first Check it out.”

seen it already?
Lin Lingdong had read the script but had no intention of filming it.

Could it be that New Art City has decided to restart the "Best Partner" series?
Zhang Yang vaguely remembers that the last part of the "Best Partner" series, Thousands of Miles to Save the Chapo, was probably directed by Lin Lingdong. If he is busy with this matter now, then it is no wonder that he did not directly start filming Lin Lingnan ’s script.

"You go back and tell Lin Lingnan that I want this script, but you can tell him something for me. I think only Lin Lingdong can film this script well. If you can persuade Lin Lingdong to come to Yingyang to help us film it, , then I will invest money.”

"Okay, let me try it."

Big B didn't expect that much. He just thought that Zhang Yang might think that the two brothers would be more effective if they joined forces, so he simply turned around and left.

After Big B left, Zhang Yang also returned to the crew and continued filming "The Raid 2".

……

In October, among the three theater chains that were secretly competing, Golden Harvest took the lead.

"Dragon's Heart", a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao, fired the first shot in an extremely unexpected way.

As a literary film, even Golden Harvest did not expect that the film would be a huge success at the box office.

The final box office result of 2000 million yuan made everyone at Jiahe feel even more encouraged.

On the other hand, look at Deyang Cinema.

Films led by Pan Disheng released a film called "The Line of Life and Death", but it received a mediocre response at the box office.

Fortunately, Pan Disheng didn't pay too much attention to this matter. At the moment, all his energy was focused on December.

In order to please his admirer Yang Ziqiong, he previously designed a role for Yang Ziqiong when filming "The Owl and Dumbo". Unfortunately, in that movie, the limelight of the film was instead the heartfelt remarks of a female supporting role. Everything was robbed.Fortunately, the film was a hit, and Pan Di-sheng couldn't say much. He could only invite Hong Jinbao again to tailor a movie for Yang Ziqiong. Faced with Hong Jinbao's questions, the competitive Yang Ziqiong did not hesitate to choose to make a movie. Female route.

At this point, "The Royal Sister", the first masterpiece in the Hong Kong movie series about fighting girls, is officially in preparation.

When the time came to mid-October, the filming work of "The Royal Sister" was all completed and the post-production period officially entered. Pan Disheng was naturally eagerly waiting for the release of "The Royal Sister".

A torturous month and a half passed, and the time came to the end of November.

On the night of the premiere of "The Royal Sisters", Pan Disheng took Yang Ziqiong to Deyang Cinema to watch the movie.

Unexpectedly, the audience gave this "Royal Senior Sister" very high praise.

Action movies, after being bombarded by Hung Jin-po, Cheng Lung and Zhang Yang since Li Xiaolong, have already become an indispensable genre trend in the film industry. Although there have been female beaters like Hui Ying-hong before, it can be like It is a modern fashion drama with a female-beating theme, and "Royal Senior Sister" is the first one.

This beautiful scenery has naturally won unanimous praise from movie fans.

As the box office continues to rise, Pan Disheng is also very satisfied. He even prays silently in his heart, hoping that when the time comes for the Christmas season, he can take advantage of the schedule to make "The Royal Sister" a hit again.

It can only be said that his idea is indeed very good, and "Royal Senior Sister" does have the potential to become popular.

But unfortunately, in the Christmas season of 85, they had an opponent they had to face.

That is Jiahe, which just suddenly broke out in October, with its new film.

"Police story".

In just one week after its Christmas release, "Police Story" grossed nearly 900 million at the box office.

Although "Police Story" is indeed inferior to the 1340 million record set by "A Better Tomorrow" some time ago, but looking at the whole year, this is already second only to "A Better Tomorrow" and "Lucky Star" The third ranked video.

Once this result was revealed, it was destined that all movies of the same period would be shrouded in the shadow of "Police Story".

Even more rare than the box office is the tear-jerking performance in "Dragon Heart", coupled with the inheritance of the desperate film pursuit in "Plan A", making Cheng Long suddenly become the film star in the hearts of countless Hong Kong people. First.

In addition, Zhang Yang's performance has been relatively quiet this year. In the Hong Kong film industry, opinions and discussions about the No. 1 action movie "Chenglong" have begun to become more and more popular. Many people even think that even if Zhang Yang is successful in business, No matter how successful he was, he would never be able to compare with Cheng Long.

And as the film review media published one publication after another, even the actors in the crew of "The Raid 2" seemed to be somewhat affected and eager to express themselves.

In the end, Chen Jiashang, who had a close relationship with Zhang Yang, took the lead and couldn't help but ask Zhang Yang questions.

"Yangzi, many people now say that you are not as good as Chenglong. Is this the case?"

Seeing Chen Jiashang's hesitant expression, Zhang Yang smiled.

"I know what you want to say. There is no need to care about this kind of thing."

"I understand, but..."

Raising his hand and waving it, Zhang Yang calmly stared at the venue.

"Cheng Lung dared to risk his life for the film. He deserves the title of Hong Kong film's number one action star."

"As for me? What I want to do is never to be the number one action star in Hong Kong movies. You have been with me for so long, so you should understand my thoughts, right?" Zhang Yang silently clenched his hands into fists, "Hong Kong movies are already satisfied. Can't help me anymore.

"When this "The Raid 2" is over, I will be ready to take the first step into a new world."
