Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 77 The Furious Mr. He

"Zombies can't see things clearly, they can only perceive things by breath. Black dog blood and glutinous rice can restrain zombies and prevent corpses from turning into corpses... Where did all your messy ideas come from? It's really interesting."

In Jiahe's screenwriter's room, Huang Bingyao looked at the "Mr. Zombie" script written by Zhang Yang, touched his chin and marveled.

In fact, if we only talk about the story of the script, Huang Bingyao has not seen any kind of story mode in his many years of working experience. The story of "Mr. Zombie" can only be said to be interesting, but it cannot be said to be amazing.

But the settings and descriptions involving zombies in the story script aroused his interest.

Zombie movies have appeared very early in the history of Hong Kong Island movies. Not to mention, in the 80s alone, Hong Jinbao created Baohe Company's entrepreneurial work "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", which already had elements of zombies, but like Zhang Yang , made detailed settings for the zombies, and even explained the origin and restraint methods. This is the first time Huang Bingyao has seen it.

"Brother Bingyao, so the script is okay?"

Seeing Huang Bingyao's compliment, Zhang Yang immediately asked impatiently.

"This is..."

Huang Bingyao hesitated for a moment. In fact, in his opinion, with this novel idea and an interesting story and script, this film is worthy of filming, but it is only worthy of filming.

After all, since the creation of Psychedelic Kung Fu movies, even the best-performing Ghost Fighting Ghost has only made more than 500 million at the box office. Although it is already the annual box office No. 5, it has been 80 years. Whether to eat or not is a question mark in my heart.

Just when Huang Bingyao was in a dilemma, Zhang Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed Huang Bingyao's wrist.

"Brother Bingyao, since you think it's novel and interesting, it's absolutely fine in my opinion. After all, no matter how picky and experienced the movie fans are, they are definitely no match for you. You are an expert in this field. What do you think I said? right?"

When Zhang Yang flattered Huang Bingyao, Huang Bingyao felt a little flustered.

In fact, Huang Bingyao would not take this sentence too seriously if someone else said it, but Zhang Yang is now a veritable box office superstar with tens of millions of dollars. Can he be unhappy that he can be praised as an expert in the industry?

Not to mention that Zhang Yang can achieve today's achievements, and he has more or less a little relationship with him, right?
Thinking of this, Huang Bingyao felt that he had to trust Zhang Yang's ability again.

Maybe this kid can really give him another surprise?
"You're right, this script...I approved it!"

Huang Bingyao took the document reviewed by Zhang Yang, swiped his pen, and simply wrote the two big characters approved.

Seeing that the script had been approved, Zhang Yang didn't waste much time. After a few words of greeting with Huang Bingyao, he stood up and left.

After seeing off Zhang Yang, Huang Bingyao returned to his seat, thinking about whether Zhang Yang could surprise him this time, the door of the office was suddenly opened again, and He Guanchong, one of the founders of Golden Harvest, walked in. .

"Bingyao, I heard that Zhang Yang sent the script of the new movie?"

"Yes, Mr. He, I just passed the review."

When he saw that the boss was coming in person, Huang Bingyao stood up quickly and replied in a panic.

"Where's the script? Let me see."

After receiving the script from Huang Bingyao, He Guanchong glanced at it, frowned, and cursed.

"What kind of mess is this! You passed such a script?! You are a pig!"

"Mr. He, I think this script is okay..."

Huang Bingyao was a little stunned when He Guan, who was always good-tempered, suddenly pointed his nose and scolded him.

"Zhang Yang's two movies rely on his mixed martial arts style to make money. What is this script now? A fantasy zombie movie? Do you think everyone buys tickets to go to the theater to watch him pretend to be a zombie? He has no brains. You have no brains, you idiot!"

He Guanchang was so angry that his head was about to smoke.

Golden Harvest spent a full 500 million yuan to build a satellite company for Zhang Yang. What is it important?
Isn't it because of Zhang Yang's ability to create topics and his unique mixed martial arts style!
Now that there is actually a zombie movie coming out, He Guanchang can't help but wonder if Zhang Yang is deliberately cheating Golden Harvest of his money.

"I'll kill this script and ask him to change the movie to make the thing he's best at."

He Guanchang threw down the script and wanted to ask Huang Bingyao to change the result of the review. However, after Huang Bingyao took the script, he stood there without moving. Instead, he braved his courage and said tentatively: "Mr. He, this script is really good." It’s okay, why don’t you let Zhang Yang try it first, you won’t lose money..."

"Oh, okay, you are so confident, then you just pray that it doesn't lose money, or you can just pack up and get out!"

After finishing his sentence angrily, He Guanchang left the frightened Huang Bingyao behind and hurriedly left the room.

……

the other side.

Zhang Yang, who had left Golden Harvest headquarters, returned to the boxing gym first.

With the script of "Mr. Zombie" finalized, Yingyang Company is barely on track.

Because Liu Guanwei, a potential stock who combines photography and directing skills, has already borrowed from Hong Jinbao in advance, plus Chen Jiashang's assistance, and most of the original crew of the film, so Zhang Yang does not intend to be in this film. Too much blended into the film.

Because in essence, this "Mr. Zombie" is just about making money, Zhang Yang has little interest, and he doesn't even plan to act in the film. Fame is enough.

As for the focus during the filming of "Mr. Zombie", Zhang Yang chose to focus on the boxing gym and He Guanchang's upcoming invitational tournament, because he keenly felt that the Jingwu Cup invitational tournament held by He Guanchong this time, It will be a good opportunity for him to start a mixed martial arts competition.

Anyway, the purpose of Golden Harvest holding this invitational tournament is for publicity. It shouldn't be wrong for me to promote mixed martial arts and my boxing gym by the way, right?If there is an advantage, do not take advantage of it.

Standing in front of the gate of the boxing gym, Zhang Yang hugged his shoulders and looked up and down carefully.

Chen Yijie at the counter saw that Zhang Yang didn't enter the door after he came back, but stood at the door, dazed, and moved over curiously, asking, "Hey, Yang Zi, what are you looking at?"

"I'm wondering if it's time for this boxing gym to expand."

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to the signboard hanging in front of the boxing gym.

"In the future, an octagonal cage will be placed in the middle of the hall on the first floor, surrounded by spectator seats, and then the current training venue will be changed from the first floor to the second floor. It is best to change the last signboard too. Ajie, you have no objections. Bar?"

"I don't have any objection to changing the sign. After all, you are also the owner of this boxing gym now, but what do you plan to change it to?"

Zhang Yang stared at the signboard with burning eyes, and spoke slowly.

"The new name is... the Mixed Martial Arts Alliance!"
