1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 335 Xia Yu Fang Hong
The company's busy work has come to a temporary halt.

Shi Nansheng took the time to make a phone call to Dongyang and report the situation to Zhai Yuan's company.

As usual, I would like to talk about the business during this period.

Since 1024 had the reserve resource of the Film Association, it has had a constant supply of films. It is no longer the glass chain that could only show a few films a year. It has become the cinema chain that screens the most new films in Hong Kong today.

However, ever since Zhai Yuan gave up and stopped personally participating in script writing, the quality of films shown in theaters has seriously declined.

In the past, films released were of the same level as "A Better Tomorrow", "Mr. Vampire" and "God of Gamblers".

Since funding was allocated to the Film Association to allow freelance directors to display their talents, various films of varying quality have begun to emerge.

Over time, the audience also learned their lesson.

For movies released on 1024, as long as they don’t have the logo of Entertainment Productions, you have to be careful when buying tickets.

When Zhai Yuan was not in Hong Kong.

The low-budget comedy "The Haunted Cop Shop" starring Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei was released in theaters under the name of 91 Entertainment.

It was a great success in both box office and good reputation.

The third episode of Huang Boming's Happy Ghost series, "Happy Ghost Encounters a Ghost", is also being produced in full swing.

The early promotional posters stated that the film was jointly produced by New One City and Jiuyi Entertainment, and the reputation of the first two films alone has made a large number of movie fans start to look forward to it.

"There is a man called Lin Lingdong. I wonder if Mr. Zhai has any impression of him. He was also a capable subordinate of Huang Boming in the past."

Shi Nansheng's voice reached his ears through the receiver: "He and his boss Lin Lingnan wrote a script called "Dragon Tiger Storm", which is a police and gangster film. He wants to borrow 500 million from the company and hire a few good cast members to shoot it."

In the room of Toyo Hotel.

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhai Yuan was still lying on the bed in a daze, his left arm trapped in the snow by Nishixie Michiko, and on his right, a waterfall of Aoyama Chikako's long hair hung down on his chest.

"Lin Lingdong, 'Dragon and Tiger'?"

Zhai Yuan became interested when he heard the title of the film.

Shi Nansheng said that although there are many movies now, the quality is uneven. This is normal. Even in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, excellent Hong Kong films can never get around those few famous directors, who almost supported most of the Hong Kong movies.

This has created a false image of prosperity - a city producing more than 200 films a year, with tens of thousands of people working in the industry.

However, when these truly talented directors retired, moved north, grew old, and passed away.

The false prosperity of Hong Kong films will be exposed immediately.

At present, Lin Lingdong is one of the directors supporting this prosperous scene.

The Fengyun Trilogy...

Zhai Yuan thought about it and said to Shi Nansheng on the other end of the phone, "They are old members of Xinyicheng. Huang Baiming is willing to lead the troops to transfer. Give them more care. 500 million production fee is no problem. By the way, lend Wan Ziliang to them and charge them a lower price."

"Understood." Shi Nansheng responded on the phone, and then said, "In addition, Chen Shilong, Zhong Chuhong, Liang Jiahui, Qin Pei, the actors you specifically requested, have already booked their tickets and will arrive in Japan in three days. The props team will have to wait until the blueprints are made for them to study before they can bring their food to the crew, two days later than the actors."

The people specifically mentioned are all major characters in "Hiroshima Monster".

The male protagonist, Ah Long, played by Chen Shilong, is a Chinese of Japanese descent. He has strong limbs but a dull personality. He was injured when he was a child and suffered from narcolepsy. He depends on his daughter for life, but his daughter is kidnapped by a monster...

According to Shi Nansheng, Chen Shilong was very satisfied with this role. He is now invincible in the field of kung fu movies and has been seeking for a breakthrough. However, he was concerned about the box office and did not dare to make a transition easily, so much so that he had to add a fight scene to his previous art film "Heart of Dragon".

This time, with Jiuyi Entertainment as his backup, Chen Shilong no longer has to make up his mind.

The second male lead, Ah Hui, played by Leung Ka Fai, plays Chan Shih-lung's younger brother. He is an unemployed alcoholic with a hot temper, and he actually has more action scenes than Chan Shih-lung.

The heroine, Ah Hong, played by Zhong Chuhong, plays their younger sister, a professional archery athlete who is indecisive in character.

The movie brings together these three characters, each with their own personality flaws, and finally defeats the monster.

As for Qin Pei, since he played Uncle Xin in "Wushuang", he has been signed to the company and specializes in playing the roles of older people. This time he was invited to play the old father of three siblings.

In fact, he is only in his early 40s. "Got it~ Let me know before they come and arrange for someone to pick them up."

Zhai Yuan smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Explain work matters clearly.

Shi Nansheng then told the inside information he heard from Sylvia Chang:
Martial law will soon be lifted on Formosa Island.

After Zhai Yuan heard this, his reaction was not as big as she had imagined.

It's only a matter of time.
"Sister Nan, the president of the association who has been making things difficult for us, I remember her name is Tong Yuejuan?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhai."

"Well...if you have the chance to go to Taiwan in the future, please remind me to visit you in person."

Zhai Yuan's smiling voice came through the receiver, making Shi Nansheng feel a little chilly for no reason.

Is this called kicking a fallen dog?

"One last little thing."

Shi Nansheng's voice was full of laughter again, and he deliberately kept the audience in suspense and said, "If the Hong Kong and Formosa markets are opened up, I have a good friend who I have known for more than ten years who wants to sign with the company. I hope the boss will support her more."

Zhai Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about Lin Qingxia?"

Shi Nansheng asked in surprise on the phone: "How did you know?"

Zhai Yuan sneered.

Your group of girlfriends was full of gamblers, and they were later exposed by marketing accounts, okay?

hang up the phone.

The familiar face of Lin Qingxia appeared in Zhai Yuan's mind.

Dongfang Bubai, Six-Fingered Qin Demon, Murong Yan...

Due to the times, most of his impressions of Aunt Lin are of cross-dressing roles.

Apart from his lack of experience in film production, he is considered a top star in Hong Kong films.

"If Lin Qingxia also transfers, and Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu are signed to the company, wouldn't it be the legendary Xia-Yu-Fang-Hong combination? I wonder what kind of experience it would be..."

Zhai Yuan leaned against the head of the bed, playing with the ends of Qingshan Zhikezi's hair that fell on his chest, and an indescribable smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

Preparations for "Hiroshima Monster" are progressing slowly in Japan and Hong Kong.

at the same time.

Qvod and Toshiba Electronics Corporation have reached a preliminary consensus on their cooperation.

The negotiation process between Tao Zongyi and Helen and the other party went quite smoothly.

At a time when big manufacturers like Sony and Philips were eyeing VCDs, Qvod was willing to take the initiative to negotiate business, and Toshiba naturally welcomed it with open arms.

With a 15% profit share plus a patent fee of US$0.1 per machine, Jiuyi Entertainment’s films, TV shows and music programs will be included in Toshiba’s list of content providers.

Toshiba did not reject these two most critical requirements, and what remained was some details to be fine-tuned.

"Brother Tanaka, I've already taken care of it. Once the contract is officially signed, Toshiba's first batch of VCD production lines will be officially launched in the second half of the year. The Yokohama factory is expected to produce and assemble 200,000 machines and burn one million content discs in the first quarter."

Zhai Yuan made a promise to Tanaka Shota on the phone: "There is a lot of money waiting for us to make, but the prerequisite is to quickly complete those three production lines..."
