Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 318 Zhou Xingxing’s first starring movie

"Hey, Xingzi, this way."

Inside a cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Zhang Yang looked at Xing Zai who looked confused after getting out of the taxi, smiled and raised his hand to say hello.

"Brother Yang!"

With a hint of excitement, Zhou Xingxing walked forward quickly and looked at Zhang Yang who was wearing a mask and a peaked cap in front of him.

Ever since Zhang Yang called and told Xingzai that he wanted to meet him last night, Zhou Xingxing had been so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. It wasn't that Zhou Xingxing had never seen a big-name star like Zhang Yang. In fact, the two of them had met before. Many times, what really excited Zhou Xingxing was Zhang Yang's promise to give him a chance.

Over the years, Zhang Yang was the first person to affirm Zhou Xingxing and sincerely believe in Zhou Xingxing's talent when Zhou Xingxing was most confused, even when Zhou Xingxing could only host children's programs like "Time Shuttle Machine" At that time, Zhang Yang encouraged him and affirmed him more than once.

Even later, Zhang Yang promised him that he would set up a separate branch for him in the future, allowing him to have a space where he could flourish. But now, after so many years of hard work, Zhou Xingxing has been looking forward to something , it seemed that it was finally coming to him.

In the small box of the cafe.

Zhang Yang and Zhou Xingxing sat down opposite each other.

Zhou Xingxing looked at the coffee cup in front of him, still unable to calm down the excitement in his heart.

However, compared to his youthful days, Zhou Xingxing's years of experience have long smoothed away some of his sharp edges, so he did not expect Zhang Yang to fulfill his promise, even if this time Zhang Yang only gave him an important supporting role, allowing him to He was filled with gratitude and expectation when he had the opportunity to prove himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingxing took the lead and spoke slowly.

"Brother Yang, you asked me to come here this time. Do you have any role for me?"

"Well, there is a role I want to entrust to you."

Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but lean forward.

"Really, who are you cooperating with this time? Could it be Fa Ge? He is very popular now. Don't worry, Brother Yang. When the time comes, I will never be embarrassed to act with him. I have been doing this for so long. I’m practicing my acting skills hard, I’m sure there will be no problem!”

"It's not Afa."

Seeing Zhang Yang shaking his head, Zhou Xingxing's eyes dimmed a little, and then he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's true, Brother Fa is such a big name now, and I came up to play with him. Maybe it's a little early. Is that Mr. Tong Ren or Mr. Liang co-starring with them?"

"Not at all."

Zhang Yang shook his head again, which made Zhou Xingxing feel a little panicked.

Be it Simon Yam or Tony Leung Ka-fai, they are already well-known actors in Ying Yang Entertainment. If he is not acting with them, or with someone bigger like Chow Yun-fat, then how can he Who should we cooperate with?

Just when Zhou Xingxing was troubled, Zhang Yang revealed the answer to the mystery in advance.

"This play is not for you to act with someone, but for you to be the leading role."

"Me? Starring?"

Zhang Yang's words immediately made Zhou Xingxing overjoyed.

To be honest, ever since the last time he was called on by Zhang Yang to participate in "The Brave Heroes", Zhou Xingxing could feel that Zhang Yang seemed to be vaguely supporting him, but he really didn't expect that this support would come. So fast. Obviously in the last film, he was only a marginal supporting role. He thought that Zhang Yang would only give him an important supporting role this time. Who would have thought that he would rise to the top in one fell swoop, and Zhang Yang would directly give him the opportunity to be the protagonist!

Zhou Xingxing stood up excitedly and held Zhang Yang's hand tightly.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I will definitely perform well in this film!"

"I believe you. Don't be so excited. Sit down first. I have something else to tell you about this film."

Zhou Xingxing nodded, sat on the chair again, and then asked impatiently: "Brother Yang, what is the name of our movie? What role do you need me to play?"

"The role you need to play is the most popular gangster you have ever played. As for the name of the movie..."

"It's called "A Comic to the End of the World"."

"A Comic to the End of the World"

This movie, this movie is not Zhou Xingxing's most profitable and famous movie.

But for him, the importance of this movie is unique.

Because it was this movie that established Zhou Xingxing's unique nonsensical performance style. A large number of expressions and nonsensical comedy scenes derived from comics were put on the big screen by Zhou Xingxing, creating a comedy style unique to him in the future.

So when Zhang Yang decided to promote Zhou Xingxing and support him to become the third superstar of Yingyang Entertainment after Zhang Yang and Zhou Runfa, he chose this movie for Zhou Xingxing without hesitation.

Although in terms of box office performance alone, "A Comic to the End of the World" only had a box office of more than 15 million, which is not worth mentioning within today's Yingyang Entertainment, but in order to establish Zhou Xingxing's performance style and lay the foundation, this The importance of this film is definitely among the best.

After confirming Zhou Xingxing's film, Zhang Yang did not waste any time. After returning to Yingyang Entertainment, he announced that he had officially signed a long-term contract with Zhou Xingxing. At the same time, he arranged for people to build a crew for Zhou Xingxing. As for the film director, Zhang Yang invited the original director. The Liang family of this film came forward to take charge.

The other actors in the film are not big names. With Ying Yang's influence now, it is not a big problem to invite them to participate in the film. Therefore, the cast was quickly finalized and the crew arrangements were quickly on track.

……

With Zhou Xingxing's filming officially on track, Yingyang Entertainment's arrangements have finally come to an end.

However, Yingyang Entertainment has just finished its work, and Binny has already sent back the news from the United States.

With Binny's arrival in the United States, the American top fighting league project has finally been officially launched. IBF's Robert has experienced a big setback before and is really eager to set up a league now. He doesn't even need Binny and Lewis to urge him. Has proactively resolved licensing issues for many leagues.

With his unstinting help, the league construction progressed smoothly.

With the outstanding performance of the localization process of the league, the broadcast plan of the Hong Kong Island Fighting Peak League has also been successfully approved by CBS. After a period of negotiation by the management sent by Zhang Yang, CBS successfully signed the broadcast plan. The book is signed.

Since then, Hong Kong Island’s Peak Fighting League has finally successfully landed in thousands of households in the United States.

Although the contract has been signed, the management is not in a hurry to leave the United States, because in two days, CBS will officially show the Peak Fighting League on the big screen. They will stay in the United States and be on the TV station throughout the entire process. After seeing the screening effect of the Fighting Peak League, he compiled a report and gave it to Zhang Yang.
