Hong Kong Entertainment: Dream Back to 1979

　　Ye Huainan continued to ask, "Are there any suitable candidates? Are you sure they will accompany you to the end?"

　　Huang Jiaju's original firm expression seemed to be somewhat uncertain. He knew that the friends he was talking about actually already had a band.

　　Huang Jiaju pondered for a moment, and after re-determining the candidate in his mind, he whispered with Ye Shirong and said firmly: "We decided that the band's name is Beyond, and I will be the guitarist and lead singer! Rong is the drummer. My brother Huang Jiaqiang is the bassist. There is also a friend in our guitar circle named Huang Guanzhong, who is also the guitarist. Since we are called Beyond, we must surpass other bands and be different from others. !"

　　Ye Huainan didn't ask any more questions, and said directly and affirmatively: "Okay, I respect your choice, but I will only give you one year. During this time, the company's only requirement for you is to run the band well, since the name of the band It's called Beyond, and I hope you all write your first album!"

　　After Huang Jiaju and Ye Shirong looked at each other, they both nodded and said that they would not live up to Ye Huainan's expectations.

　　After the two left happily.

　　He Chaoqiong asked in confusion, "You trust them so much?"

　　Ye Huainan scratched He Chaoqiong's nose lightly and said, "You will understand later."

　　He Chaoqiong didn't even know what happened to him. The more mysterious Ye Huainan was, the more addicted he was, and the more he wanted to push him away layer by layer.

　　More sure that he has already completely fallen.

　　……

　　Lian Xiang Lou

　　Lianxianglou is an old teahouse with a history of more than [-] years and has the reputation of "the first lotus seed shop".

　　When Ye Huainan and He Chaoqiong arrived at Lianxiang Tower, Fang Yihua had already ordered refreshments and was waiting here.

　　"Sorry, it's been a long wait." Ye Huainan said.

　　"I came early, what would you two drink?" Fang Yihua said with a smile.

　　"The waiter came to a pot of Yuqian Longjing."

　　Fang Yihua stared at He Chaoqiong for a while, then said in surprise, "You are the daughter of the Aomen gambling king's family? No wonder President Ye has developed so rapidly recently."

　　He Chaoqiong nodded and said, "Where, you Shaw Brothers are the seniors and the ones we are chasing."

　　"Where, today's world already belongs to you young people. I haven't forgotten that Shaw Brothers' "Modern Local Guy" was suppressed by your first film "Happy Ghost" and painted it ahead of time." Fang Yihua praised road.

　　"Mr. Fang is wrong." He Chaoqiong said modestly.

　　"Mr. Ye, I heard that you haven't finished the overseas release of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie"?" Fang Yihua didn't go around in circles, and directly explained his intentions.

　　"It's true, Mr. Fang doesn't know what to say." Ye Huainan asked humbly for advice.

　　"I don't dare to take a high opinion. In fact, since the establishment of the All-Star Cinema, we have known that President Ye's ambition is lofty. We can still cooperate, after all, you also know that our Shaw Brothers’ strength in Nanyang is still good, and at the same time, as long as the movies are popular in Xiangjiang, the performance of the Nanyang market will not be bad!”

　　"At the same time, Shaw Brothers has already shifted its focus from movies to TV dramas at this time. I don't think there is much business conflict between us. Overseas distribution is handed over to Shaw Brothers, and the account is divided into five and five, which is enough to express our sincerity. Right!" Fang Yihua laughed.

　　"Okay, happy cooperation!" Ye Huainan stood up and stretched out his hand.

　　Because Ye Huainan also knows that although he has no shortage of funds at this time, after all, his qualifications in the industry are still shallow.

　　Only in overseas markets have achieved results.

　　At that time, whether it is with an overseas theater chain or its own acquisition, it will have a greater say. .

Chapter 48

　　With the signing of the cooperation intention with Shaw Brothers, the overseas screenings of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" are finally scheduled.

　　The box office of "Mr. Zombie" in Hong Kong also broke the Hong Kong box office record of "Happy Ghost" again.

　　Although "Ghost Fighting Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" are both supernatural zombie films.However, because of the late release, it was labeled as plagiarism by fans.

　　Hong Jinbao, who is the main creator, is also helpless. Although the shooting time of the two films is roughly the same, due to the filming time of Lei Juekun, not only the box office has shrunk seriously, but it has also suffered from infamy. The cooperation between the two has just begun. some clearance.

　　As the culprit of the break with All-Star Films, Lei Juekun has gradually weakened his right to speak within the Golden Princess Academy.

　　At this time, Lei Juekun, who had nowhere to vent, could only vent his anger on Mecca and Shi Tian, ​​who were also shareholders of Xinyi City.

　　"What's the use of investing so much money on you guys? Before the release, you swore and promised me that you could compete with Ye Huainan at the box office for "Funny Times"!" Lei Juekun slapped the table and roared.

　　"How did we know Ye Huainan's "Mr. Zombie" would be so popular." Mecca whispered.

　　This society is the same in every era. The rich is the uncle. This is an eternal law.

　　"What do you know? You know about additional investment, and what else do you know! If I can't come up with a good script, I will withdraw the investment."

　　Lei Juekun angrily swept away the documents on the table and roared, "What are you still doing? Why don't you start writing the script!"

　　……

　　Golden Harvest Headquarters

　　Zou Wenhuai snorted coldly and threw a copy of Ming Pao on the table.

　　"All-Star Pictures' new film "Mr. Zombie" has created a new box office myth! It has once again set off the trend of supernatural kung fu films. All-Star Pictures is the biggest dark horse in the history of Hong Kong Films!"

　　To be honest, Zou Wenhuai was surprised at Ye Huainan's birth!

　　He has been in the film industry for more than ten years, and no one knows better than him. As the pioneering work of All-Star Films, "Happy Ghost" broke the first [-] million record at the Hong Kong box office, what it means.

　　As a new director, Ye Huainan can achieve this kind of achievement in his first film, which can already be described as a miracle.

　　And the second film "Mr. Zombie" directed this time is about to create another miracle.

　　What annoyed him the most was that the protagonist of the movie was actually the Dragon Tiger martial artist who had been in Jiahe for many years.

　　What kind of so-called fantasy kung fu film has also been created!

　　That's what worries him the most.

　　Ten years ago, Li Xiaolong's kung fu film came out, bringing Jia He infinite glory, but also sentenced the death penalty of traditional martial arts movies.

　　Jiahe spent a lot of resources and finally cultivated a Chen Long.

　　And because of the birth of Chen Long's witty kung fu film, it changed the pattern of Xiangjiang action films again.

　　At this time, the fantasy kung fu film shot by Ye Huainan became popular again, how could this make Zou Wenhuai not worried.

　　You must know that at this time, Golden Harvest is preparing to enter the Western market.

　　In October 1979, Zou Wenhuai once announced in Hollywood arrogantly that Golden Harvest would invest 10 million US dollars to shoot 6000 large-scale production films with international superstars!

　　And the main player of this battle is Chen Long, the head of the witty kung fu film.

　　When Chen Long signed with Golden Harvest, he already had a very strong ability to attract money at the box office in Asia.

　　Zou Wenhuai wants to make Chen Long an international superstar like Li Xiaolong.

　　So breaking the shackles of the European and American markets has become a crucial link.

　　He Guanchang seemed to see Zou Wenhuai's concern and said with a smile: "Wenhuai, don't worry, Jiahe has always been targeting the international market, and the All-Star Films at this time can only jump around in Xiangjiang without seeing it. "Happy Ghost" has not been released in overseas markets so far. And in the United States, the filming of Chen Long's "Killer Trench" is progressing very smoothly. As long as "Killer Trench" is released, all eyes will be on it. Just come back to our Jiahe."

　　Hearing that "Killer Trench" was going well, the corner of Zou Wenhuai's mouth did not smile again.

　　"The Killer Trench" did not hesitate to hire a big Hollywood star Josefara Kistin Choubeier.

　　The director is also Hollywood's Rob Golos.

　　As the starring Chen Long, the remuneration has also begun to catch up with Hollywood stars.

　　Reached the peak of the Chinese movie star's salary at this time.

　　However, Zou Wenhuai did not relax his vigilance because of this, and said to He Guanchang: "You can save more snacks during this time and see if there is a way to dig Lin Zhenying back?"

　　He Guanchang said in surprise: "Lin Zhenying? How did you think of poaching him? He is just a dragon and tiger martial artist from the Hong family class. I think Ye Huainan's script is good, so he became popular."

　　Zou Wenhuai sighed and said: "Now Chen Long is going to enter Hollywood, and Hong Jinbao has gone to Princess Jin's side to join in the fun. If Ye Huainan solves the problem of overseas screening, with the influence of "Mr. Zombie" in Hong Kong now, It’s hard to guarantee that there will be no sequels, and it doesn’t matter if a film like “Happy Ghost” is a small joke! But “Mr. Zombie” and Chen Long’s kung fu style are different, so they can only be strangled in the cradle.”

　　Zou Wenhuai continued: "What's more, Ye Huainan is not the master of peace no matter how you look at it. At this time, the water of Xiangjiang has been muddyed by him. If the overseas market is attacked by him again, then we Jiahe will not be better off."

　　He Guanchang nodded and said: "Okay, I'll try it out. I hope Lin Zhenying will remember the old love of Jiahe.".

Chapter 49

　　The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Hong Kong and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world.

　　Since the 1950s, the Peninsula Hotel has been known as the Movie Café, because many movie stars love to have afternoon tea in the Peninsula.

　　He Guanchang looked at Lin Zhenying, who was sitting across from him and was a little restless, and said with a smile, "Why are you nervous, Zhenying? It's just an afternoon tea together."

　　With a simple and honest face, Lin Zhenying said a little embarrassedly: "No, Mr. He has been thinking too much. I don't know what is going on with me today."

　　He Guanchang filled Lin Zhenying with a cup of tea, and said slowly, "Zhenying, you have been at Jiahe for some years before. It is the first time you have come here to drink tea in so many years. I am neglecting you."

　　Lin Zhenying said seriously: "Yes, I have been in Jiahe for eight years."

　　He Guanchang moistened his throat and said, "Remember, Li Xiaolong specially invited you back to Xiangjiang to be a martial arts instructor. When you weren't by his side, he would rather not start filming. Are you still happy in All-Star Pictures during this time? After the Hong family class came out, have you considered continuing to return to Jiahe, just recently Jiahe's "Killer Trench" in Hollywood can get you a role for you."

　　Lin Zhenying was also quite surprised, as He Guanchang, a senior executive of Jiahe, which one did he sing.

　　However, he didn't show any emotion, and said proudly: "Thank you, Mr. He, for your high regard. I'm here today to say something to you and thank Jiahe for your cultivation over the years. All-Star Films treats me well. As for Hollywood, I think it's just a matter of time for us at All-Star."

　　He Guanchang had no choice but to smile awkwardly and sighed: "Okay, let's stop talking about these shabby words, drink tea, drink tea, but I'm getting more and more curious about this young man Ye Huainan."

　　At this time, Lin Zhenying smiled again and said, "Mr. Ye is indeed young and promising, and he takes good care of us both in and out of the movie, unlike other directors who make movies as if they are on a mission. He pursues perfection. His dedicated attitude is what I admire most about him. One of the things he often says to us is that if you want to end the shooting early, you can show your best state, you will always be Remember it for me, the All-Star product must be a fine product! Otherwise, I would rather let it rot in the warehouse than take it out and pollute the audience's eyeballs."

　　He Guanchang was silent for a long time, and seemed to fall into memory. He remembered that when he first entered the industry, he was also full of devotion to movies.

　　With success and fame, there may only be a copper stench all over the eyes.

　　……

　　Being on "Fashion for All" is already an artist's benefit as an all-star, and the first filming was basically shot by Ye Huainan himself.

　　Just to give readers the most perfect experience.

　　And this time, the seven new artists added by All-Star Records (Huang Jiaqiang and Huang Guanzhong also teamed up successfully).

　　Different in appearance.

　　Beyond's four are all dressed in black punk outfits with rivets. The unique shape makes them look full of personality and at the same time they are more coquettish.

　　Although the four of them initially refused to dress up like this, when they saw Ye Huainan's work, they all said it was really sweet.

　　He also told Ye Huainan that this would be the shirt for their first concert in the future.

　　And Mei Yanfang's style is neutral, in fact, Ye Huainan's bad taste, that is, according to the design of men's clothing in later generations.
