1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 147 Trailer (Part )
The last scene was in Fenglin Pavilion. After dealing with several gang members, Wan Ziliang bit a toothpick into his mouth, looking a little handsome.

The screen went dark.

According to Zhai Yuan's design, the title of the film - "A Better Tomorrow" in four big characters will pop up here.

But there’s no time to do the special effects now, so the first half of the trailer ends here.

The first half of the trailer is a total of forty seconds.

The second half is a little longer because Zhai Yuan asked Wu Yusen to edit in some famous lines.

"The higher-ups are now investigating the infiltration of gangs into the police force, and they dislike it most when the family members of police officers are gang members."

91 Entertainment's own artist Luo Jiaying wore a wig and played Zhang Guorong's police boss. If you don't look at it through the tinted glasses of a comedian, his acting is just average.

"Hey, you don't even know how to be a boss?"

"Sir, I haven't been a boss for many years!"

Zhang Guorong and Di Long are on opposite sides of the brothers.

"I've never cried in my life. I swear I will never let anyone point a gun to my head again!"

"The code of conduct no longer exists. There is no one around me I can trust."

"It's okay for you to insult me, but you can't insult my friends."

"Do you believe in God?"

"Believe, I am God!"

The scene stopped abruptly.

There was silence in the editing room for a few seconds, and Wu Yusen looked at Zhai Yuan with some trepidation.

"How's it going, boss? Is it okay?"

Zhai Yuan closed his eyes and thought about it. Since there was no background music or dubbing, he had to rely on his imagination most of the time.

After a moment, Zhai Yuan hummed, "Almost. Let's get the actors back to do the dubbing first. I'll make some background music and insert it in. Then, we'll play a theme song in the second half. Once the trailer is three minutes long, we can start to build momentum."

"Which song do you think would be a good theme song?"

Wu Yusen directly brought up two music industry bigwigs and asked, "If it's original, should we invite Joseph Koo and James Wong to come and discuss it?"

“That’s totally unnecessary.”

Zhai Yuan raised his chin, raised a finger and shook it gently.

Pretending is like the wind, always with me.

He said: "There is no need to bother hiring someone. I will do all the background music and theme songs for this movie myself!"

"The Love of Those Days" has not been released yet. I promised to write two songs for Zhang Guorong every year. With the previous "Monica" and this one, this year's target has been met!

"Finished it, huh?"

Peng Jiayan's voice sounded faintly behind him.

"Of course, easily."

Zhai Yuan, who had just finished showing off, was still immersed in his euphoria and had no idea that the crisis was approaching.

"That's good."

The back of his neck was tightened, and Peng Jiayan gritted her teeth as she lifted him up from the stool.

Then she dragged him out of the editing room, saying, "Didn't you just ask me to reflect on myself? I've almost reflected on myself. Come on, come out and let's talk about the US dollar again!"

…………

Zhai Yuan had a bold guess.

He suspected that the reason why Peng Jiayan had an upset stomach was due to excessive secretion of male hormones.

Otherwise, when Zhou Haimei and Deng Leling are angry, they either pound their chests with their fists or pull their ears, which at least makes them look pretty feminine.

She was really good at hitting hard, using the Seven Injury Fist and the Shadowless Kick at the same time, chasing Zhai Yuan without stopping, and she was still full of energy.

Woohoo what a scumbag, little Zhang Yide!

After escaping from the clutches of the devil, Zhai Yuan continued to focus on the movie trailer. A trailer is a kind of promotional material, and its main function is to trick the audience into going to the theater. In Hong Kong, this thing is called a "trailer".

Zhai Yuan didn't go to the cinema often, but he had run a video hall business. Usually, the videotapes would have a forced trailer at the beginning, and some would even play it at the beginning and end, which was quite annoying.

The filming progress of "A Better Tomorrow" has temporarily slowed down.

Zhai Yuan took the re-edited film copy and led several actors to do the post-production dubbing for the trailer.

It's okay for the others, they can basically complete the dubbing work by themselves, but Michiko Nishiwaki needs to find a special voice actor.

So Zhai Yuan met again the actress from Zhao's dubbing department who helped him dub Jennifer last year, Miss He Jinhua, the original voice of Nie Xiaoqian.

"Ms. He, are you interested in developing a career in my company?"

For the second time, Zhai Yuan was struck by He Jinhua's varied voice and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to this talent.

He Jinhua asked in confusion: "Does Jiuyi Entertainment also have a dubbing department?"

Zhai Yuan shook his head: "No, I also have a company called Secret Garden. You can go there as a mentor and help me train the workers."

The Secret Garden has now expanded in size.

Taking advantage of the recent drop in land prices, Zhai Yuan rented both the upper and lower floors of the office building at a low price.

The three floors could originally be equipped with thirty-six telephones, but there were not enough employees at the moment, so only twenty-four telephones were available on shifts.

Thanks to the influence brought by the increased popularity of "Secretly Obsessed" and "Self-Delusion", Twenty-Four Telephones was able to maintain an almost full performance, and the revenue simply doubled. Secret Garden has also become the most profitable cash cow under his company.

The office building where Jiuyi Entertainment is located now has three floors: upper, middle and lower.

According to Zhai Yuan's plan, he will then be able to renovate his own editing and recording studio, and the company will gradually get on track.

"Secret Garden?"

He Jinhua repeated the name and felt it was a bit strange, so he asked curiously, "What kind of job do you do?"

"Emotional Pay Phone Company."

Zhai Yuan blinked his innocent eyes and copied down an address for her: "If you are interested, you can go there and take a look. The person in charge is Chen Jiale. If he is not in the company, you can find a woman named Aunt Lian and say that I introduced her."

Then he added: "I can offer you a base salary of 4,000 yuan, plus commissions, you can earn 6,000 to 8,000 yuan a month."

He Jinhua's mouth suddenly opened into an O shape.

She worked as an ordinary voice actor at Zhaoshi, earning only 1,500 yuan a month, and relied on taking private jobs to make a living.

A base salary of 4,000 plus commission? This is a great temptation.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Yuan added: "In addition, my company will also set up a dubbing department in the future, and will continue to hire you and pay you double the salary."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhai. I'll be there right after I finish work."

He Jinhua's last bit of hesitation was dispelled, and he said something grateful, and he had already begun to think about handing in his resignation to Miss Fang.

The current business model of Secret Garden is more like creating virtual idols, and it needs a few top stars who can be shown off. He Jinhua meets Zhai Yuan's requirements.

Professional voice actors can not only stay in Secret Garden, but their own dubbing department will also need such talents in the future.

In the future, let her slowly recruit other people from the Zhao family.

Zhai Yuan suddenly had the idea of taking advantage of his sixth uncle, and he couldn't stop the idea once it came to him.

The Zhao family is a huge treasury!

The largest artist training class in Hong Kong, with the most complete studio system and all departments of film, television and music.

Apart from the inability to make good movies, there are almost no shortcomings.

However, he didn't seem to realize that he had already poached a lot of people from Uncle Zhao Liu:
Di Long, Wan Ziliang, Liang Xiaolong, and He Jinhua.

Including Zhang Guorong of Huaxing Records.

"Mr. Rong, please come to the company soon. I wrote a new song for you. It's really amazing!"

After seeing He Jinhua off, Zhai Yuan called Zhang Guorong again.

"When Love Was There", a rare golden song that is not adapted from Japanese style, will be released ahead of schedule with the release of "A Better Tomorrow".
