Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 423 At the Celebration Banquet

In the end, a total of four people chose to open a personal studio, namely: Ma Rongcheng, Wen Rili, Niu Lao and Zheng Wen.

As for other people, they don't have this interest, or they feel that they don't have enough energy. The weekly comics alone are almost half of his life, so how can he still have time to open a studio?

Or maybe I feel that I have enough money and there is no need to go to such trouble to open a studio.

But no matter what, based on the abilities of these four people, it will not be too easy for their works to pass the review of "Jade Dynasty"!

In this way, more than a month has passed, and more than half a month has passed since New Year's Day. As the New Year approaches, all the works of the four of them have been officially launched on "Jade Dynasty", namely "Two Poles" by Ma Rongcheng, "The Black Panther" by Wen Rili, "Red Light District" by Niu Lao and "The Assassin" by Zheng Wen.

Of course, their works are mainly by names, and the real painters are the painters they recruited.

With more and more comics and more and more entertainment methods, it is difficult for young people today to focus on one thing as before!

For example, the appearance of these comics did not cause any waves in Hong Kong Island, because everyone's attention was attracted by a movie released.

"Our drama is a gathering of stars, but no star can cover up Ah Xing's brilliance. He is really outstanding!"

"You're flattered, Mr. Huang!"

"I didn't get any awards, he deserves it all!"

A celebration reception was very lively, with bright lights and green lights, and people drinking and drinking. A banner saying "Warmly congratulate the success of "A Happy Family"" was hung on the wall. In front of the dining table where people were coming and going, a man and a woman were chatting.

The man wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses is the protagonist of this party, Huang Baiming, general manager of Baiming Film Production Company and producer of "Happy Events at Home".

As for the well-dressed and plain-looking lady he was polite to, her name was Zhou Wenji. She was the sister of Zhou Xingxing, a popular actor, and also his agent.

With the release of "The Gambler" and "The Gambler", Zhou Xingxing, who was already a first-line actor in Hong Kong, immediately became a superstar comparable to "Fortnight".

The year before last, Huang Baiming officially withdrew from New Art City and founded Baiming Film Company, which became a new subsidiary of Kirin Entertainment.

Today, Kirin Entertainment is a giant in the Hong Kong film industry. It has more than 20 film production subsidiaries, including some well-known companies.

The effect of strength in numbers is also visible to the naked eye. Among the top ten box office films in Hong Kong, more than half of the films produced by Kirin Entertainment are in the top ten, and the top fifty in the box office can account for 70% of the total.

Under such circumstances, practitioners from other film companies in Hong Kong would not be able to hold any grudges in their hearts!

Not only do they hate that Kirin Entertainment earns so much, but they also hate why they are not a member of Kirin Entertainment.

However, fortunately, Kirin Entertainment does not go it alone. Not only does it give most of the profits from movies in the local Hong Kong market to its subsidiaries, it also does not prohibit its stars from accepting movies from other companies.

Of course, most of the stars of Kirin Entertainment cannot film films for the various subsidiaries within their own company, so how can they have the time and energy to film films for other companies?

But at least there is no such ban, and everyone is given relative freedom.

"It's a pity that Ah Xing is not here today, so this celebration banquet is a little less star-like!"

"Today there are so many celebrities such as Leslie Cheung and Maggie Cheung, how can it be less starry?"

Zhou Wenji pretended not to understand what Huang Baiming meant and deliberately misinterpreted Huang Baiming's meaning.

Seeing Zhou Wenji not answering, Huang Baiming had no choice but to say: "I have another drama recently. I wonder if A Xing has time?"

"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry. Ah Xing has been too busy recently. As you know, in addition to the film directed by Wang Jing, he also has two other films. At least for the first half of the year, I'm afraid I won't have time!"

"I can understand!" The smile on Huang Baiming's face remained unchanged, and he even toasted Zhou Wenji, but only he knew what he was thinking.

Anyway, Huang Baiming left shortly after saying this.

Shortly after Huang Baiming left, Zhou Wenji, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned cold.

"Humph, you stingy guy, you didn't mention anything about the remuneration! You still want to hire A Xing like this?"

Zhou Wenji could see through the other party's thoughts at a glance. He just wanted Ah Xing to help him film the movie, and he didn't want to pay more!

Why did I come to the celebration banquet today instead of Ah Xing? Isn't it just Ah Xing trying to avoid this boss Huang?

The entire celebration banquet was a bit boring for Zhou Wenji, except for Zhang Guorong.

"Hello, I am Zhou Xingxing's sister, Mr. Zhang, can you sign your name for me?"

"Hahaha, of course!"

When Leslie Cheung starred in "Hong Kong Island Love Story", Zhou Wenji happened to be in middle school, so Leslie Cheung can be said to be her childhood boyfriend. Now that she sees Leslie Cheung, she is naturally very excited!

Zhang Guorong knew the identity of the visitor, and he and Zhou Xingxing got along well on the set, so he readily agreed.

Although Zhang Guorong started much better than Zhou Xingxing, his development in the past two years is really not as good as Zhou Xingxing.

This is mainly because he quit the music industry, and his performance in the film industry is not as peak as the music industry.

Although he has also starred in classic movies such as "A Better Tomorrow", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Rouge", Hong Kong Island is a commercial city after all, and movies are ultimately a commodity, and box office still has to speak for itself.

Therefore, compared with Zhou Xingxing, there is still a gap in his ability to withstand box office.

"I heard that Zhou Xingxing and Liu Dehua are filming a movie directed by Wang Jing recently?"

"Yeah, it seems to be called "The Tricky Expert", and it's probably about to be filmed!"

Regarding Zhang Guorong, Zhou Wenji has nothing to hide, these are all things reported in the media.

"What happens after that? I heard that director Wang Jing is already preparing for his next movie, and has also purchased the copyright of Mr. Li's comics?"

Suddenly, Zhang Guorong asked Zhou Wenji mysteriously.

"There is such a thing, but he only bought the portrait rights of the comic characters, not the copyright of the entire comic!"

"Is this really happening? Will Ah Xing participate in the show?"

"There is no relevant news at the moment. Director Wang said that he will finish filming this movie and then choose the actors for the next movie!"

Hearing Zhou Wenji say this, Zhang Guorong noticed a strange aura.

Wang Jing, what does this mean? Isn't he planning to find Zhou Xingxing to be the protagonist of the next drama? Otherwise, why make the decision directly? Is there any conflict between the two of them?
