Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 323 Li Lianjie

Shortly after Deyang Cinema Line changed its name to Yingyang Cinema Line, a piece of exciting news came for Jiahe.

Chenglong's "Red Zone" was successfully shot and edited in the United States, and was highly praised by the theaters for its internal preview screenings in the new theater chain, and the invited media also praised it.

Because Zhang Yang's "John Wick" became famous in the United States, all Hong Kong film and television people have realized that the current ticket warehouse in the United States is fertile ground for the entire Hong Kong film industry, especially in Hong Kong. As domestic audiences have gradually become tired of watching Kung Fu movies, this path in the United States becomes particularly important.

And this is not the only good news that excites Jiahe.

After Cheng Long went to the United States to start his Hollywood journey, Golden Harvest Pictures desperately lacked a movie star who could support their appearance on Hong Kong Island. However, with the hard work of Golden Harvest, they finally found one. Someone who is qualified to carry the flag.

This person is Jet Li, who became popular on Hong Kong Island through "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boys"!

In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, Li Lianjie went to the United States as a scholar to shoot a martial arts documentary in 88, and was invited by Luo Wei to discover and bring him back to Hong Kong Island, where he officially started his life in the Hong Kong Island Film Industry.

But because of Zhang Yang's sudden appearance, the structure of Hong Kong Film Industry was completely disrupted, and many things changed a lot faster.

Just like this time.

If it weren't for the success of Zhang Yang's "John Wick" in the United States, Golden Harvest would never have launched the plan for Cheng Long to go to the United States again to join Hollywood so quickly. And precisely because of Cheng Long's departure to the United States, Golden Harvest was in urgent need of Another actor who can carry the flag, Li Lianjie will naturally not be invited to Hong Kong Island in advance because of this.

As for Li Jianjie himself.

In fact, he has always wanted to go to Hong Kong Island to develop his career after cooperating in "Shaolin Boys". However, he had no chance before. Now that Golden Harvest has sent an invitation, everything will naturally fall into place.

By the time Li Lianjie packed up his things in the mainland and set off for Hong Kong Island, it was already Christmas.

When Li Lianjie arrived at Jiahe Company and met with the two bosses, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, he found that the two men were far less happy than he imagined, and even looked a little gloomy.

Li Lianjie didn't know why, but in fact, he was not to blame for this incident.

The reason why Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked ugly was because this year's Christmas season, Ying Yang Cinema, which had just changed its name, released a new film during this Christmas season.

Title: "Alang's Story"

This film starring Chow Yun-fat and starring Zhang Manyu became a hit in Hong Kong as soon as it was released.

It seems that Zhou Runfa continues to show off her fairy-haired character. In just one week after the film was released, the box office exceeded 12 million Hong Kong dollars. The marketing department estimates that the final box office result of the film will definitely not be less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars...

You know, this film is a literary film!

Whether it is Hong Kong Island or the film industry around the world, literary and artistic films have never been known to the public by virtue of their box office performance. However, this film "A Lang's Story" by Ying Yang Entertainment has broken the previous In the past few years, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Lung's "Dragon Heart" has set a box office ceiling for literary and artistic films, and has successfully become the highest-grossing literary and artistic film in Hong Kong Island!

Their own box office records were broken by their rivals. How could Chow Wenhuai and He Guanchang be happy?

Fortunately, the two of them soon realized that showing such a disappointed expression to Li Lianjie was obviously suspected of discouraging their own morale, so the two of them quickly put the matter behind them and took the initiative. Discussed the next arrangements with Li Lianjie. Due to the sudden incident, Jiahe has not yet arranged Li Lianjie's script, so after some discussions, everyone only reached some tentative agreements based on the intention of cooperation. As for the specific release of the film, it will have to wait for a while.

……

Just as Jiahe was excited about welcoming Li Lianjie, Zhang Yang was standing in the studio, laughing at Zhou Xingxing's exaggerated and nonsensical performance.

As his first starring role in the film industry, Zhou Xingxing has been filming every day and night since the project was announced.

Although he is not the director in this film, Zhou Xingxing has not lowered his requirements at all. Even facing the Liang family, he has the courage to express his ideas and suggestions. Fortunately, the Liang family has good personalities and is not special. A strong director, otherwise the filming progress of the film may be even slower than it is now.

Zhang Yang was quite indulgent of Zhou Xingxing's constant pursuit of perfection, even at the expense of affecting the filming schedule.

From 82 to 87, his career as a bit player for more than five years was exactly the same as Zhou Xingxing's original life situation. Zhang Yang believed that with the same experience, coupled with Zhou Xingxing's own talent, he would definitely still become the well-deserved comedy star King of.

And this "Comic to the End of the World" is a film for Zhou Xingxing to clarify his acting style and build his own confidence. No matter how long Zhou Xingxing spends or how much money he wastes, Zhang Yang will not mind.

Because he knew very well that no matter how much money he spent, Zhou Xingxing would make it back to him twice in the end.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhou Xingxing's shooting finally came to an end. Zhang Yang did not bother him, but just quietly left the shooting scene.

He didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhou Xingxing, so he showed up on the set just to tell Zhou Xingxing that he was always paying attention to him and trusting him. If he didn't continue to wait, he would avoid Zhou Xingxing from being too worried.

Although Zhou Xingxing's emotional intelligence is not very high, fortunately the two have been together for many years. Zhang Yang believes that Zhou Xingxing will understand what he means.

After leaving the set, Zhang Yang got in the car, but instead of returning to Ying Yang Entertainment, he went straight to the Tuen Mun Mixed Martial Arts Center.

This building, which Zhang Yang spent tens of millions to finally build, has now become not only the main location of the league, but also the headquarters of the Major League Fighting Company.

Because of the league's fame in the United States and its glory in Southeast Asia, I don't know how long ago, the number of foreign faces appearing in the mixed martial arts training center gradually increased quietly. When walking through the training hall on the first floor, Zhang Yang clearly discovered that not only Players from the Hong Kong Island local league and a large number of foreign boxers who appeared out of nowhere also appeared here like pilgrims.

Zhang Yang is naturally happy to see this happen.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Yang stepped into the elevator and went straight to the fifth floor.

The top floor of this mixed martial arts center has now become the core management area of ​​the major martial arts league, and a special line has been set up in Zhang Yang's office. This special line is not an internal line within the company, but is specifically for international communications.

As for the target of communication...that is of course the United States on the other side of the ocean.
