Hong Kong Comic Master

In the end, there were 4 people who chose to open their own studios, namely: Ma Rongcheng, Wen Rizhu, Niu Lao and Zheng Wen.

As for the others, they were not interested. Either they felt that they did not have enough energy. Just serializing comics every week was almost taking half of their lives. How could they have time to open a studio?

Or they felt that they had enough money and did not need to open a studio in such a troublesome way.

But no matter what, with the abilities of these four people, it would be too easy for their works to pass the review of "Yu Huangchao"!

In this way, more than a month passed, more than half a month after New Year's Day, and as the New Year approached, the works of the four of them were all officially launched in "Yu Huangchao", namely Ma Rongcheng's "Two Poles", Wen Rizhu's "Black Panther Biography", Niu Lao's "Red Light District" and Zheng Wen's "Assassin Biography".

Of course, their works are mainly named, and the real painters are just 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 that was released.

"Our play is a gathering of heroes, but no star can overshadow Ah Xing's brilliance, he is really outstanding!"

"You are too flattering, Mr. Huang!"

"I am not flattering, he deserves it!"

The celebration party was very lively, with bright lights and wine, and a banner on the wall that read "Warmly congratulate "All's Well, Ends Well" for its successful opening" was hung in the hall with clinking glasses. At the dining table where people were coming and going, a man and a woman were chatting at this time.

The man in a black suit and black-framed glasses was the protagonist of the party, Huang Baiming, the general manager of Baiming Film Production Company and the producer of "All's Well, Ends Well".

As for the lady with a bright dress and ordinary appearance with whom he was polite, her name was Zhou Wenji, the sister of the now popular actor Zhou Xingxing, and also his agent.

With the release of "God of Gamblers" and "Casino Tycoon", Zhou Xingxing, who was already a first-line actor in Hong Kong, immediately became a superstar comparable to "Shuang Zhou".

In the year before last, Huang Baiming officially withdrew from Xinyicheng and founded Baiming Film Company, which became a new subsidiary of Qilin Entertainment.

Today, Qilin Entertainment can be called a giant in the Hong Kong film industry. It has more than 20 subsidiaries for film production alone, including some well-known companies.

The effect of the large number of people is also visible to the naked eye. In the top ten box office charts in Hong Kong, more than half of the films produced by Qilin Entertainment are produced by Qilin Entertainment, and the top fifty in the box office charts can account for 70%.

In this case, practitioners in other film companies in Hong Kong are very resentful!

They not only hate that Qilin Entertainment earns a lot, but also hate why they are not a member of Qilin Entertainment?

However, fortunately, Qilin Entertainment did not eat alone. Not only did they give most of the film profits in the local market of Hong Kong to various subsidiaries, but they also did not prohibit their stars from taking on films of other companies.

Of course, most of the stars of Qilin Entertainment can't even shoot the dramas of their own subsidiaries, so how can they have the time and energy to shoot the dramas of other companies.

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

"It's a pity that Ah Xing didn't come today, so this celebration banquet lacks some star flavor!"

"Today there are so many stars such as Zhang Guorong and Zhang Manyu, how can it lack star flavor?"

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

Seeing that Zhou Wenji didn't respond, Huang Baiming had to say: "I have another drama recently, I wonder if Ah Xing has time?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, Ah Xing is too busy recently. You know, in addition to taking the drama directed by Wang Jing, he also has two other dramas. At least in the first half of the year, I'm afraid he won't have time!"

"I can understand!"

Huang Baiming's smile remained unchanged, and he even toasted to Zhou Wenji, but what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

Anyway, Huang Baiming left soon after he said this.

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

"Humph, stingy guy, you don't even mention the salary! You still want to invite Ah Xing?"

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

Why did he come to the celebration banquet today instead of Ah Xing? Isn't it because Ah Xing wanted to avoid this boss Huang?

The whole 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 an autograph for me?"

"Hahaha, of course!"

When Zhang Guorong starred in "Hong Kong Love Story", Zhou Wenji was in middle school, so Zhang Guorong could be said to be her childhood male god. Now seeing Zhang Guorong, she was naturally very excited!

Zhang Guorong knew the identity of the visitor, and he and Zhou Xingxing got along well in the crew, 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's.

This is mainly because he retired from the music industry, and his performance in the film industry is not as peak as in 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 ultimately a commercial city. Movies are a commodity after all, and they still have to rely on box office sales.

Therefore, compared with Stephen Chow, he still has a gap in the ability to resist box office sales.

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

"Yes, it seems to be called "Tricky Brains", and it is estimated that it will be finished soon!"

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

"What about after that? I heard that Director Wang Jing's next new movie is already in preparation, and he has also purchased the copyright of Mr. Li's comics?"

Suddenly, Zhang Guorong asked Zhou Wenji mysteriously.

"That's the case, but he only bought the portrait rights of the comic characters, not the copyright of the entire comic!"

"Is this true? Will Ah Xing participate?"

"There is no relevant news at present. Director Wang said that he will select the actors for the next movie after this one is finished!"

Hearing Zhou Wenji say this, Zhang Guorong sensed a strange atmosphere.

What does Wang Jing mean by this? Doesn't he plan to find Zhou Xingxing to be the protagonist of his next play? Otherwise, why did he make the decision directly? Is there a conflict between the two?
