Glory of Rebirth 1989
Chapter 4
There is nothing wrong with waiting for you here. "
Lin Yao originally thought that Xiang Qiang would at least reprimand him when he heard that he was making his own opinions, not to mention making rules. Usually, ordinary club members do such things, earning money is one thing, but misappropriating club funds is another. It's impossible not to pay any price. Unexpectedly, maybe the friendship between this body's father and Xiang Qiang is far deeper than what Lin Yao felt in the past ten days, and he just took the check without hesitation Throwing it aside, he helped Lin Yao up and smiled, "Yaozai has such good means, Uncle Xiang will only be happy." After saying this, Xiang Qiang paused for a while, thinking for a while, "I originally planned to let you go to cooperate with Watanabe. I set up a film company to work, I just thought that you were in the club in the early years and didn't study much. At least you have a place to settle down. Uncle Xiang is not greedy for this 1000 million US dollars. It is counted as [-]% of the shares and incorporated into the company's assets. It is a punishment , don't be unconvinced."
Watanabe Fang and Xiangqiang set up a film company with a total original budget of not necessarily 1000 million US dollars, and it is greatly unfair to only give Lin Yao [-]% of the shares. However, what Lin Yao did in Japan may not be able to completely hide Watanabe. Bian Fangze, Xiang Qiang used Lin Yao's money to give it to Watanabe Fangze in a roundabout way, which can be regarded as an apology on his behalf.
Lin Yao didn't think much of the money when he came here, and he didn't expect Xiang Qiang to let him go so easily, but he seemed very happy, and waved his hands again and again, "Yaozai did something wrong first, and Xiang Shu is willing to give [-]% of the shares. It’s very generous, so there’s nothing to be unconvinced about.”
Seeing that Lin Yao is so knowledgeable, Xiang Qiang is also very pleased. In his eyes, Lin Yao is a good player in gangsters, but running a business may not be that material. Even if Lin Yao earns a lot of money, luck often plays an important role in the stock market. Due to many factors, it cannot change Xiang Qiang's existing impression of Lin Yao. Therefore, when arranging the company's personnel, Lin Yao was not given any specific position. He was only given the title of deputy producer in the company. Usually representing the investor, he is responsible for the total expenditure budget of the film crew and the specific shooting schedule of the film, supervises the director's artistic creation and expenditure, and also assists the director in arranging specific daily affairs.Xiang Qiang believes that Lin Yao has roughly familiarized with the operation of the crew in the new best partner last time, but he is not experienced enough.The two talked directly about the light of the sky, they were both a little tired, and they didn't mention the rest.
Before Lin Yao went to Japan, Xiang Qiang guessed that Fang Watanabe would not refuse, so the site selection and other things were almost arranged, and after the specific planning last night, it was OK to just take the staff to the ready-made venue.A large part of the film company's business is on the set, and the company entity only needs an office space. Unlike other industries, it needs a good location to attract customers.
Lin Yao got up in the afternoon of the next day. First, he went to see the company in Shatian District. The company was located near an industrial park, and there were a few hills nearby. It was not considered a barren mountain, but the location was not good, and the enclosure was cheap, so the site It's quite big, and there are already several studios under construction inside. The signboard and factory logo of Guoxing Film Company are hung on the wall of the five-storey office building. , was replaced by a star, including the full name of the company, after all, it is a club background, and there is no time for those beautiful literature and art.Lin Wei, who hadn't seen him for a while, was instructing several workers to hang red cloth on the signboard, and then take it off when it officially opened.
Seeing Lin Yao and his party, Lin Wei didn't hang up the red cloth anymore, and rushed to Lin Yao to hug him, "Brother Yao~~~" After all, he is still a big child, and his drawn out voice sounded like he was acting like a spoiled child to his parents. It means "He also said that he would lead me to the right path. Brother Yao was not seen when he was discharged from the hospital. If Mr. Xiang hadn't asked me to come here to help you with some chores, I don't know when he would see him again."
Lin Yao still waited to see this child who blocked the knife for him in the first crossing. Looking at the child's acting like a baby, he remembered a husky he raised before. They were almost the same, their eyes were wide open and starry, begging for comfort and comfort.Looking down, I feel inexplicably that the child hanging on the body has grown a tail, and it is shaking vigorously, shaking, shaking, and there are huge words next to it: "Take me to play, play with me..."
"Pfft..." Lin Yao thought to himself and laughed, stroked the child's hair, and pulled him off his body, "Such a big boy, you are still acting coquettish and shy, you. Before that, there were serious things to do, so I didn't stop I don't have much free time. We'll stay here from now on, don't make trouble, Brother Yao will take you to play later, and apologize for not taking you out of the hospital."
"Hey~~" Lin Weile blossomed, "It's a deal~" After getting the benefits, he knew that Lin Yao still had business to do, and the children didn't bother him, so he went aside to continue the work he had just interrupted.
Lin Yao met a few people in charge of administration in the company. The props in the scheduling meeting are fine. The company does not support idlers. Only when the film is opened and the crew system is set according to the actual needs of the crew, the chores are done by subordinates. Leave it to him.Remembering the agreement to take the children to play just now, she asked Lin Wei to leave the venue.
There is a saying that a person has the ability to move freely if he has a driver's license. This body has a driver's license. However, these days, whether in Hong Kong or Japan, Lin Yao always rides in someone else's car, which makes him free to move. Being used to it, he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have time to solve this problem.After finally being free, Lin Yao first took his children to a car dealership to buy a car. At this time, the car was far less comfortable than later generations. Some models didn’t even have air-conditioning. Lin Yao was used to off-road driving back then, and he chose a Land Rover for a long time.The child felt left and right in the back seat by himself, "Brother Yao, I'm going to the playground, I'm going to eat smoothie, I want...!"
Lin Yao focused on the road ahead. The steering wheel of the car in the 80s was much heavier than that of the later generations. He was not used to driving, so he could only be careful, responding to Lin Wei.Suddenly he saw an unlikely person on the side of the road, talking and laughing with two other people who were familiar but couldn't name them.He slammed on the brakes, and the child in the back seat was unprepared, and suddenly fell to this side. Seeing Lin Yao jumping out of the car at an extremely fast speed and slamming the door, he could only hold the window and shout, "Brother Yao, brother Yao!" ~~ What are you doing in such a hurry, I will be too bad if you fall to your death!" Lin Yao didn't turn around, and ran to the side of the road while returning, "You stay in the car!" He rushed to the opposite guardrail in three steps , leaning on the railing, turned over and landed next to the man, stretched out his paw and patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Brother Rong!"
"Ah, it's Yaozi..." Seeing Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong smiling unnaturally, he turned around and said to the two people in the same company, "This is my friend Lin Yao, who has taken a new best partner together. His personality is a bit out of character, let you guys I'm laughing." Lin Yao followed Zheng Shaorong's eyes to look at the two people, one looked a bit feminine, but it was undeniable that he had a very good appearance; the other had an ordinary appearance, and he couldn't be found in the crowd of passers-by.Both of them were familiar with each other, but Lin Yao couldn't name them after thinking hard.Zheng Shaorong turned around to resolve his predicament, "This..." Zheng Shaorong's palm pointed to the feminine man "Da Ming, a school of Huang Mingming" and then to another "poet Lin Xi".Lin Yao suddenly realized that Huang Minming was an idol singer who was very popular in the 80s and 90s, and then gradually disappeared. It is not surprising that he has memories but can't remember them.And Lin Xi. .Although Lin Yao doesn't remember his appearance, he is very familiar with this name. In the field of lyricists, he has a keen observation of things and a keen sense of the city. He is famous for his fast lyrics and high output. , are all words made by him.
"Long admiration, long admiration" Lin Yao couldn't help taking a few more glances. He had also heard some gossip in his previous life. The two had been entangled for more than 20 years. One was romantic and the other was ruthless. Huang Minming's contribution is indispensable, because he expresses his deepest feelings, emotions, and experiences through words and sentences. Every singer who sings Lin Xi's lyrics is singing love songs and love poems to Huang Minming on his behalf. He expressed his sadness, which has lasted for more than 20 years and has not changed. Unfortunately, with many lyrics and many awards, he couldn't win the person he wanted.
Withdrawing his wandering thoughts and gaze, Lin Yao knew that the three of them were just taking a casual walk, and volunteered to invite a guest to take them to play together.Then they went to the place where children wanted to go, the playground, eating smoothies, going to the beach to have a bonfire and barbecue, and a group of people played like children until the sun went down.
When returning home, Lin Wei was so tired that she fell asleep lying on the car window, unlike when she woke up making noise.Huang Minming's and Lin Xi's homes are relatively close, after Lin Yao sent them home first, only the sleeping child and Zheng Shaorong were left in the car.
In the silent carriage of "Yaozi", Zheng Shaorong suddenly called Lin Yao.
"Huh?" Lin Yao felt that Qifeng in Cheli was too dull, but he didn't know how to start a conversation, he turned on the FM radio and looked for a music station.
"thanks..."
"What is there to thank, we were just on the same road..."
"sorry..."
"what?"
"I don't want to start a new relationship for the time being, thank you for your love...and, I'm sorry."
Lin Yao's FM hand paused slightly. It turned out that the incident in Japan was not a hallucination. Is this a refusal?
"Hehe..." There was only a dry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Whenever Brother Rong wants to start over, I will wait for you at the same place."
Zheng Shaorong didn't know what to say, he hadn't been in contact with her for a long time, so why is the other party obsessed with him?Appearance? "Yao Tsai,..."
Lin Yao interrupted Zheng Shaorong's unspoken words, "I don't know the origin of the love, but the love is deep...I don't read much, so I saw this sentence by chance, and it was inexplicably very satisfying."
At this time, the radio station that has been on FM, only rustling, finally heard music. Lin Yao heard the familiar melody, and couldn't help singing along, "You ask... how deeply I love you, how much I love you , my love is true, my love is true, and the moon represents my heart. A light kiss has already touched my heart..." In the quiet car, only Lin Yao's deep and melodious voice remained. Voice.
They sent Zheng Shaorong directly downstairs to his house, neither of them said a word, Lin Yao quietly lay on the steering wheel and watched him get off the car, watched him go upstairs, watched him switch on and off the lights in his room, without moving. . . .
7. The initial development of the business...
After that night, Lin Yao needed to prepare for the opening of the company, and Zheng Shaorong also accepted a movie with an unknown director, so neither of them had time to spare, or Zheng Shaorong deliberately avoided it, because Lin Yao couldn't go to the set because of the rejection last time. Visiting the class, occasionally going downstairs to him several times, but never being lucky enough to meet him again, calling his home every day, and the only thing coming from the other end of the line is a cold mechanical voice.
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, is the crew busy with work? Pay attention to rest..."
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, there is a torrential rain and typhoon today, and you are still rushing to the set? Be careful and safe..."
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, the weather has changed suddenly, add more clothes, and be careful of catching a cold..."
. . . . . . . .
When the midsummer comes, Guoxing has already made preparations, and the invitations are only waiting for the ribbon-cutting of the opening. Although Xiang Qiang has not been too involved in the film industry before, relying on the power of Xin Ngee Ann, people related to the film industry, no matter whether they have invitations or not. , all came to join us.
On the opening day, there were a lot of guests at the gate of the remote Guoxing Company, and many famous cars were parked.The welcome guests announced the identity of the guests one after another, "Mr. Xu from New Art City Film Company sent flower baskets, Mr. Zou from Golden Harvest Film Company sent flower baskets, Mr. Shao Shao sent flower baskets... Ms. Mei Lanfangmei sent flower baskets... "Lin Yao deliberately dressed up, wearing a high-end custom-made suit, which made him look more like a tree, and stood at the gate with Xiang Qiang to welcome the film company executives who came to the scene.
"Hello, Mr. Zou, thank you for your support..." Lin Yaojing introduced to Qiang, who was busy shaking hands with different bosses to thank him, "Hello, Mr. Shao, please come in and wait for the ribbon cutting..."
After all the guests had entered and sat down, Lin Yao's eyes kept scanning the crowd, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to meet. He sent out the invitation card early in the morning, but. . .
It was a great day, but Lin Yao was not interested, so he stopped participating in the following activities after the ribbon cutting, and sat in a corner drinking.Lin Yao was holding the wine glass, his eyes were empty and he forgot about the gentlemen and celebrities on the dance floor with their fragrant clothes and temples.The sofa beside him suddenly sank, "Mr. Lin, why didn't you socialize and sit here drinking alone?" He turned his head and saw a familiar face by accident.
"Isn't Mr. Zhou too?" The person who came was none other than Zhou Xingchi, the comedian star who will become famous in the future. At this time, the star was still a little immature, wearing a dress that didn't fit well, obviously he didn't get along very well. .
I wanted to get close to Lin Yao to find an opportunity to introduce myself, but Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but smile wryly, "It's hard for Mr. Lin to know my name. I'm just a trickster. What qualifications do I have to be on the stage with these big names and celebrities." The dress is also rented, but it is because I have some friendship with Section Master Zhou that I have the opportunity to come here."
At this time, Zhou Xingchi was very down and out, and he was far from the glory of the future. The students who were at the same time as him in the ATV artist training class, such as Tony Leung, had already made their mark, but he was still hosting children's programs, playing small roles in various sets, such as "The Condor Shooting" Song Bingjia in "The Legend of Heroes".
Lin Yao put down his wine glass, propped his chin with his hands, and looked at the other party for a while, "I have seen some of your roles, which have great potential. Are you interested in leaving the current Universal Company and signing a film contract with us?" Seeing the right On the other hand, he was overjoyed, and then continued to say, "The number one male lead..."
Zhou Xingchi was overjoyed. He didn't have any expectations when he talked to Lin Yao, but he was familiar with each other. It would be beneficial to meet him in the future. Who would have thought that a huge pie would fall from the sky and smash him to death? "Thank you, Mr. What kind of film is it? When will the contract be signed?" The tone was rather urgent.
Lin Yao looked at Zhou Xingchi, who was a bit out of his mind, with a half-smile, "I'm still writing the script, it's only two or three days. As for signing the contract...you can come to the company tomorrow."
Hearing that the script was written by Lin Yao, Zhou Xingchi's excitement disappeared a lot. He knew that Lin Yao was just a young and dangerous boy before, so Xiang Qiang valued it inexplicably and asked him to form the National Star Company. This script is probably an outsider A low-budget movie for playing tickets, but I didn’t let go of my mistakes, and I couldn’t even pay the rent, so what qualifications did I have to be picky about the script?What's more, it's the first time to play the leading role, even if it's a bad movie, this is still an opportunity.
Originally, the movie "The God of Gamblers" was created by Liu Zhenwei, the director and screenwriter of another small film company that has just been established, Zheng Shaorong, who is currently taking over the film. It follows the trend of "God of Gamblers" starring Chow Yun-fat, the box office champion for 90 years. do.Lin Yao took him out ahead of time, a little sorry for the original author Liu Zhenwei, but in order to keep Zhou Xingchi, a cash cow, he didn't care about that much.
When he went back that day, Lin Yao locked himself in his study and recalled the plot. Although he was born in the director department of Beijing Film Academy, he has been in the TV circle of the imperial court after graduation. Except for the short films shot in school, he has never actually made a movie. Circle, Saint of Gamblers, the pioneering work of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical film, I have seen and talked about it back then, but this is not the pinnacle of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical film. He could only add some funny jokes from later generations, fabricate and intersperse certain plots, and it took far longer than he imagined to complete the creation. He was born half a month later. He showed Xiang Qiang the script and declared that he would He was in charge of the film as the director, and the cost was not high, so Xiang Qiang let him go.
After signing the contract, Zhou Xingchi would come to the company to report every day full of joy, but every time he would return disappointed. This time when he came to Guoxing again, he happened to meet Lin Yao who came back from Xiang Qiang's place in the corridor, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, That show..."
Lin Yao knew that Zhou Xingchi would come these days, and he said it would only be three or five days, but he couldn't help being ashamed that he couldn't do it for such a long time. When we met again this time, he happened to have a script for Xiang Qiang at hand, so he handed it over immediately. To Zhou Xingchi, "The script has already been written. I didn't think it was enough to make you wait too long. I'm really sorry."
"Ah, it's all right..." Zhou Xingchi took the script and buried his head in it, he didn't care much about Lin Yao's apology, he just stood in the corridor and just looked down at it.Different from the mediocre book he imagined before, as a gambling film, there are not too many bloody scenes such as gun battles and revenge, but more humorous and witty.It fits surprisingly well with his acting style, just. . .
"Mr. Lin, something is inappropriate here." Zhou Xingchi pointed to a certain line in the script and showed it to Lin Yao. It happened to be one of the parts that Lin Yao added on his own, and it was a bit out of the contemporary Hong Kong style. "Here, change it..."
After Lin Yao listened to Zhou Xingchi's opinion, it was indeed more suitable than what he had written.Zhou Xingchi is an actor with a lot of ideas and ideas. When playing the role of "The Condor Heroes", Mei Chaofeng beat him to death with a slap when he showed his face. When they died, the two stood in the corridor, revising and revising the script, which attracted the attention of many staff members.
It took another two days to finish revising the script. Lin Yao did not change the original cast, and Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Wu Junru and others still starred. The crew and actors had been recruited properly. Lin Yao also directed and acted as a martial artist.Because Zhou Xingchi is very spiritual, Lin Yao gave him the title of assistant director, so that he can implement his own ideas and suggestions more conveniently.
A young man from mainland China has a star who can see through the supernatural power of playing cards, and he comes to Hong Kong to seek refuge with Uncle Da. The two collide in Hong Kong by mistake and get involved in the underworld gambling hegemony. It doesn't need to be too high, but only 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
In the first scene, Ah Xing just came from the mainland to look for Uncle Da. Uncle Da was only playing mahjong and did not go to pick up Ah Xing. Ah Xing was downstairs at his house. He didn’t know how to play with the electronic doorman. The clip where the roommate apologizes and asks to come in.Lin Yao had some selfishness in this intercom role, so he played this part by himself.
Ah Xing squatted downstairs with his luggage in his arms and complained that people in Hong Kong didn't start work at seven o'clock. Lin Yao stood in front of the walkie-talkie and explained to the other party, "I really started working all night last night..."
A male voice on the intercom "I don't want to hear your explanation"
Lin Yao's character is very helpless, and he sighed with his forehead raised, "I really didn't date other boys."
"I do not believe"
"If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him, really... Cary, what do I have to say before you open the door?"
"You say I love you ten times and I will open the door"
"Ok, ok, ok... I love you~ I love you~~ I love you..." Turning around and seeing Ah Xing approaching, Lin Yao's voice became much softer, "I... love you. .I~love~you...”
Ah Xing had never seen anyone talking to the wall in the mainland, so he simply put down his luggage and stood a punch away from Lin Yao, leaning his head close to the walkie-talkie to carefully observe whether there was anyone inside.
"I..." Just as Lin Yao was about to speak, he leaned forward with a big head. . . .
"I..." The big head moved closer
Lin Yao, who was interrupted several times, simply ignored him, hugged the walkie-talkie and yelled, "I love you, I love you...I love you..." He fled into the building almost at the same time as the iron door opened, and locked it behind him. Ah Xing who wants to follow.
Ah Xing thought that he could open the iron door by saying "I love you" to the walkie-talkie. He tidied up his appearance and imitated Lin Yao and shouted loudly to the walkie-talkie, "I love you, I love you, I love you..." People passing by They all looked at A Xing with crazy eyes. It happened that an old woman in the building came back from exercising and hurriedly opened the iron door to escape into the building like Lin Yao. So developed..."
"CUT!" The director shouted the card, and Lin Yao came down from the building. He admitted that when he wrote this paragraph, he thought about doing this, so he changed the name of the other party to Zheng Shaorong in the script.Looking at the screen just now, there is no problem and continue to end.
After a whole day, Zhou Xingchi's acting was so familiar that he didn't look like a newcomer at all, and even improvised to enrich some details that were not in the script, such as the marker under the arm of the heroine Qi Meng, a huge birthmark that runs through the whole play.The acting skills of the supporting actors Wu Mengda and others are also very good, setting off Zhou Xingchi, he still has a sense of presence. The weakness of fighting in the original film was also improved because Lin Yao also served as a martial arts instructor.
The entire crew is in good condition, and it was originally a quick shoot. Before the end of the summer, Lin Yao cut out a part of the source material. The Gambler was about to wrap up, only to realize that he had overlooked a huge problem before ---- -Cinema.
Guoxing was originally set up for money laundering. Xiang Qiang set up a shelf for him. He didn't expect to start filming so soon, so some things, Guoxing didn't accumulate enough. Lin Yao made a movie for the first time, Xiang Qiang didn't have any What expectations, relying on those theater chains under him is enough, but Lin Yao is not satisfied. .
Anytime, anywhere, people will have the idea of getting rich overnight, but how can ordinary people realize this dream more easily?That is gambling.This also explains the popularity of gambling movies in the 80s and 90s. After all, everyone has a dream of getting rich.
The gambling film "God of Gamblers", which was originally released in 90, has not yet started filming. It is the first time for this film to win the game with supernatural powers, high technology and gambling skills. Lin Yao has no doubt that this comedy film will achieve a good box office. , even surpassed the previous life, but if there are not enough theaters, all this is just empty talk. Once entering the film world, the company with theaters can easily hold Lin Yao by the throat, so he can only urge his subordinates to step up the acquisition At the same time, the theaters are discussing with Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao and other companies to obtain support from their theaters.
When is the right time for a comedy movie to be released?Summer holidays and holidays.Now that October is approaching, the summer holidays have already passed. At this time, there is no seven-day National Day holiday in Hong Kong, so the only holiday left is Christmas. Lin Yao and various company bosses have not made any progress in discussing the release of the film in theaters.
National Star participates in the film market. The established company is already facing a formidable enemy. This time, it will borrow its own theater during the Christmas holiday to show National Star's films. The company's films will lose one schedule, which makes them also have distribution rights. How are other companies willing to do it.Lin Yao had no choice but to mobilize the strength of Xin Ngee Ann's network and at the same time increase the proportion of theater chains, so he persuaded some theaters to release the non-important time of the Christmas prime time.
The difficulty of leasing the theater chain made Lin Yao more determined to acquire the theater chain. He frequently had a good time, and recently began to decline.
Debao Company was established in 1984. It was a joint-stock company funded by Pan Disheng, Cen Jianxun, Hong Jinbao and others. At that time, Hong Kong was different from other film and television group family development models. It adopted a professional manager system. Unfortunately, This manager likes to spend a lot of money, and hires superstar and famous directors to make movies. The results of the movies are good, but he can't make ends meet.Debao couldn't quell the disagreement among internal shareholders, and the income was not good. It had planned to sell the film and television business. After receiving Lin Yao's acquisition intention, the senior management agreed to discuss it.
Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they landed, Lin Yao made an appointment to discuss in the meeting room of the other party in order to show his sincerity, but he didn't expect that the price offered by Debao was too high. "Mr. Pan, please do me a favor for Mr. Xiang. The acquisition of Shaw Cinemas is only 3000 million Hong Kong papers, and the current asking price of [-] million will not be too much."
Before 1985, there were three theater lines in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City. Among them, Shaw Brothers was the largest, but it always lost money year after year due to insufficient quality of film sources.When Debao Company was established, the films were released in Golden Harvest Cinemas. After experiencing many times like Lin Yao’s predicament of not being able to make it into the prime time slot, it was only after purchasing the theaters in Run Run Shaw’s hands for [-] million Hong Kong dollars. The right to speak, who would have guessed that five years later, Debao would repeat the same mistakes of Shaw Brothers, and reached the point where it needed to sell its theater business.
Pan Disheng didn't seem to hear Lin Yao's words, so he turned around and asked the secretary, "How much did we donate to the mainland last time?"
"Two million Hong Kong dollars." After listening to the secretary's respectful answer, Pan Disheng smiled apologetically at Lin Yao, "I'm sorry, Lin Sheng, I didn't hear what you said clearly just now."
Seeing that Pan Disheng meant that he was not short of money, Lin Yao refused to sell the cinema at a lower price.But now Lin Yao really needed to release new films in theaters, and when Debao completely gave up the film and television business and sold them at a low price in less than two years, he could only agree to the ridiculous price offered by Pan Disheng.
The author has something to say: My hair is almost graying because of these two scenes, I am really not suitable for writing this stuff, put the lid on the pot and step back~
When I was writing this article, I heard this song by chance, and I really felt kakaka. .
still leaning on sleepless nights
staring at the sky
still hear the violin
tease again
Why is there only one crescent moon left
stay in my sky
Audio is blocked after this night
people like the moon in the sky
is not available
Love is past and only left behind
irreparable parting
why just disappointed
fill my void
no kiss goodbye tonight
still saying forever
unexpected is an excuse
never meant to break up
but my heart every minute
still possessed by him
he looks like this moon
still not open
violin solo
The moon is half leaning on late autumn
my concern
my longing
until later
8. Dating in Hawaii...
After the acquisition and rectification of Debao Cinemas, editing and editing, many things were busy in the preview, and the Christmas holiday was approaching. The audience responded well in the preview. Critics and the media were very surprised by Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance style. The use of supernatural powers in the film is the first and also attracts attention. Therefore, the publicity and comments in newspapers and magazines are basically praise words, which greatly aroused the curiosity of the audience.
The box office statistics on the first day of the Christmas holiday are as high as 500 million Hong Kong dollars!Zhou Xingchi and the crew at the venue couldn't believe it. A film with a total cost of less than 200 million can achieve this kind of box office. Not to mention a myth, it is also very rare. This is only the first day. Judging from this trend, the box office after the release period At least it can break through 2000 million, because the theaters are their own, and they can get rid of the theater's share, excluding the cost of producing promotional actors' salaries, etc., and can make a net profit of at least 1500 million.
Lin Yao smiled and said nothing at Zhou Xingchi and others' excited speculation, not enough, not enough!Historically, the box office of The Saint of Gamblers has reached more than 4000 million, and it was the box office champion of the year. The mere 2000 million is only half of it.
Unexpectedly, the development of the next thing was somewhat beyond Lin Yao's expectations, and the box office of the gambling saint dropped sharply the next day.Lin Yao found out that a newly released movie stole the rest of the show. The director of this movie was unknown, and the promotional campaign was not violent, so it was unnoticed, so not many were released on the first day. The next day, the number of screening theaters increased suddenly, and even squeezed out the prime-time films of other big companies, just because the audience lined up day and night to strongly demand more screenings!
When seeing this film and the name of the main creator, Lin Yao was not at all surprised that the Holy Gambler could not compete with the other party at the box office. The director may be unknown at this time, but in later generations, he and this film have become a Hong Kong movie. Representative symbols, it is "Days of Being Wild" and Wong Kar-wai, which can be called the pinnacle milestones of Hong Kong movies.
This film describes the inner world of a group of lonely and rebellious young people, full of strong nostalgic atmosphere.The six protagonists chase after each other in several entangled love affairs between men and women, and each bears the teasing of fate.It truly reproduces the living environment and social conditions of ordinary young people in Hong Kong.In this environment, they are eager to find their own value and position, but also struggle, wandering in the sourness of frustration, reflecting the tired souls of people in the 8s and 90s. Compared with their own funny movies, they are obviously Days of Being Wild more resonant.
He couldn't understand why The Story of Being Wild, which was only released in 90, jumped out to grab the box office at this time. In the end, it could only be attributed to his own butterfly effect. Since the Saint of Gamblers and National Star Film Company can be released in advance, why can't Story of Being Wild?
Wei Dao never sees Zheng Shaorong. Zheng Shaorong is the leading actor in this film. Wong Kar-wai's films are famous for their high quality and literary art, but his production speed is surprisingly slow compared to the film industry at that time. Zheng Shaorong spent half a year on the set .
Lin Yao had watched Days of Being Wild before, but he hadn't seen Zheng Shaorong for half a year, even if he only saw him on the big screen, it would be good, and he also wanted to see if this movie would be because of his butterfly wings Something changed, so on the third day of the Christmas holiday, Lin Yao, holding popcorn and Coke, appeared in front of a movie theater in Golden Harvest Cinemas like an ordinary audience.
"Pretty girl, give me a movie ticket for the next episode of Days of Being Wild." Lin Yao leaned over the ticket window, took the movie ticket handed by the conductor, and was about to squeeze out of the crowded crowd when suddenly someone behind him The person patted his palm, "Yaozai..."
"Huh?" Lin Yao looked at the person who patted himself on the back, even though he was wearing a trench coat, a hat, a mask and a scarf, he still recognized him at a glance, "Brother Rong~~~~Hmm!"
"Hush..." Zheng Shaorong looked around, covered Lin Yao's words with his palms, and dragged him away from the crowd. A superstar, who appeared on the set of a movie he starred in, would have no idea what would happen if his identity was revealed. can guess.After being dragged to a corner with few people, Zheng Shaorong let go of Lin Yao's covered mouth and nose, and pulled down the scarf and mask.
"Brother Rong...you've lost weight and turned dark..." Lin Yao looked up and down at Zheng Shaorong who had been separated for a long time. The half-year-long filming was obviously not a comfortable job. The light blue stubble covered his small face. Lin Yao believes that even if he shouts Zheng Shaorong now, fans may not be able to recognize him
"Ha, how can you not get tanned when filming, don't you think Brother Rong is more manly?" Zheng Shaorong has heard this kind of talk a lot recently, and he rubbed the stubble on his chin without paying attention.
After half a year of adjustment, he is much more cheerful than before. Occasionally when he comes home, he hears the caring greetings on the phone recording that have not been interrupted for half a year. many. "I heard that you, Yaozi, directed a movie yourself, why don't you invite Brother Rong to watch it together?"
This is, a date? ? ? ?The theater in Lin Yao's brain was running quickly, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly responded, "Hey~~Brother Rong, wait for me here, and I will queue up to buy tickets." Then go to the ticket sales at a speed comparable to a [-]-meter sprint run everywhere. "Beautiful girl, please give me another movie ticket for Days of Being Wild and two tickets for The Gambler"
Holding four movie tickets, Lin Yao was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether to watch the true story of A Fei first or the Gambler first. He wanted to watch A Fei first to show his importance to Zheng Shaorong, and also wanted his sweetheart to see his little thoughts. , it is difficult to decide at the moment.In the end, it was Zheng Shaorong who made up his mind and looked at the gambler first.
The two followed the crowd into the arena, found their seats and sat down. The lights in the auditorium were gradually turned off. After the company's logo and the list of main creators were displayed on the screen, the opening scene was A Xing at the vending machine. Before buying water with RMB, the money was refunded every time. The border police tricked him into calling the boss at the vending machine, and the vending machine would give him face to lend him water.The audience below were all overwhelmed with laughter at Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance.
Lin Yao turned his head to look at Zheng Shaorong in the dim light, and saw a slight curve at the corner of his lips. His heart was filled with all kinds of satisfaction and happiness. After buying the water, he went to the part where Lin Yao played tricks. Looking at the real person, at this moment, the dubbing "Cary boy,
Lin Yao originally thought that Xiang Qiang would at least reprimand him when he heard that he was making his own opinions, not to mention making rules. Usually, ordinary club members do such things, earning money is one thing, but misappropriating club funds is another. It's impossible not to pay any price. Unexpectedly, maybe the friendship between this body's father and Xiang Qiang is far deeper than what Lin Yao felt in the past ten days, and he just took the check without hesitation Throwing it aside, he helped Lin Yao up and smiled, "Yaozai has such good means, Uncle Xiang will only be happy." After saying this, Xiang Qiang paused for a while, thinking for a while, "I originally planned to let you go to cooperate with Watanabe. I set up a film company to work, I just thought that you were in the club in the early years and didn't study much. At least you have a place to settle down. Uncle Xiang is not greedy for this 1000 million US dollars. It is counted as [-]% of the shares and incorporated into the company's assets. It is a punishment , don't be unconvinced."
Watanabe Fang and Xiangqiang set up a film company with a total original budget of not necessarily 1000 million US dollars, and it is greatly unfair to only give Lin Yao [-]% of the shares. However, what Lin Yao did in Japan may not be able to completely hide Watanabe. Bian Fangze, Xiang Qiang used Lin Yao's money to give it to Watanabe Fangze in a roundabout way, which can be regarded as an apology on his behalf.
Lin Yao didn't think much of the money when he came here, and he didn't expect Xiang Qiang to let him go so easily, but he seemed very happy, and waved his hands again and again, "Yaozai did something wrong first, and Xiang Shu is willing to give [-]% of the shares. It’s very generous, so there’s nothing to be unconvinced about.”
Seeing that Lin Yao is so knowledgeable, Xiang Qiang is also very pleased. In his eyes, Lin Yao is a good player in gangsters, but running a business may not be that material. Even if Lin Yao earns a lot of money, luck often plays an important role in the stock market. Due to many factors, it cannot change Xiang Qiang's existing impression of Lin Yao. Therefore, when arranging the company's personnel, Lin Yao was not given any specific position. He was only given the title of deputy producer in the company. Usually representing the investor, he is responsible for the total expenditure budget of the film crew and the specific shooting schedule of the film, supervises the director's artistic creation and expenditure, and also assists the director in arranging specific daily affairs.Xiang Qiang believes that Lin Yao has roughly familiarized with the operation of the crew in the new best partner last time, but he is not experienced enough.The two talked directly about the light of the sky, they were both a little tired, and they didn't mention the rest.
Before Lin Yao went to Japan, Xiang Qiang guessed that Fang Watanabe would not refuse, so the site selection and other things were almost arranged, and after the specific planning last night, it was OK to just take the staff to the ready-made venue.A large part of the film company's business is on the set, and the company entity only needs an office space. Unlike other industries, it needs a good location to attract customers.
Lin Yao got up in the afternoon of the next day. First, he went to see the company in Shatian District. The company was located near an industrial park, and there were a few hills nearby. It was not considered a barren mountain, but the location was not good, and the enclosure was cheap, so the site It's quite big, and there are already several studios under construction inside. The signboard and factory logo of Guoxing Film Company are hung on the wall of the five-storey office building. , was replaced by a star, including the full name of the company, after all, it is a club background, and there is no time for those beautiful literature and art.Lin Wei, who hadn't seen him for a while, was instructing several workers to hang red cloth on the signboard, and then take it off when it officially opened.
Seeing Lin Yao and his party, Lin Wei didn't hang up the red cloth anymore, and rushed to Lin Yao to hug him, "Brother Yao~~~" After all, he is still a big child, and his drawn out voice sounded like he was acting like a spoiled child to his parents. It means "He also said that he would lead me to the right path. Brother Yao was not seen when he was discharged from the hospital. If Mr. Xiang hadn't asked me to come here to help you with some chores, I don't know when he would see him again."
Lin Yao still waited to see this child who blocked the knife for him in the first crossing. Looking at the child's acting like a baby, he remembered a husky he raised before. They were almost the same, their eyes were wide open and starry, begging for comfort and comfort.Looking down, I feel inexplicably that the child hanging on the body has grown a tail, and it is shaking vigorously, shaking, shaking, and there are huge words next to it: "Take me to play, play with me..."
"Pfft..." Lin Yao thought to himself and laughed, stroked the child's hair, and pulled him off his body, "Such a big boy, you are still acting coquettish and shy, you. Before that, there were serious things to do, so I didn't stop I don't have much free time. We'll stay here from now on, don't make trouble, Brother Yao will take you to play later, and apologize for not taking you out of the hospital."
"Hey~~" Lin Weile blossomed, "It's a deal~" After getting the benefits, he knew that Lin Yao still had business to do, and the children didn't bother him, so he went aside to continue the work he had just interrupted.
Lin Yao met a few people in charge of administration in the company. The props in the scheduling meeting are fine. The company does not support idlers. Only when the film is opened and the crew system is set according to the actual needs of the crew, the chores are done by subordinates. Leave it to him.Remembering the agreement to take the children to play just now, she asked Lin Wei to leave the venue.
There is a saying that a person has the ability to move freely if he has a driver's license. This body has a driver's license. However, these days, whether in Hong Kong or Japan, Lin Yao always rides in someone else's car, which makes him free to move. Being used to it, he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have time to solve this problem.After finally being free, Lin Yao first took his children to a car dealership to buy a car. At this time, the car was far less comfortable than later generations. Some models didn’t even have air-conditioning. Lin Yao was used to off-road driving back then, and he chose a Land Rover for a long time.The child felt left and right in the back seat by himself, "Brother Yao, I'm going to the playground, I'm going to eat smoothie, I want...!"
Lin Yao focused on the road ahead. The steering wheel of the car in the 80s was much heavier than that of the later generations. He was not used to driving, so he could only be careful, responding to Lin Wei.Suddenly he saw an unlikely person on the side of the road, talking and laughing with two other people who were familiar but couldn't name them.He slammed on the brakes, and the child in the back seat was unprepared, and suddenly fell to this side. Seeing Lin Yao jumping out of the car at an extremely fast speed and slamming the door, he could only hold the window and shout, "Brother Yao, brother Yao!" ~~ What are you doing in such a hurry, I will be too bad if you fall to your death!" Lin Yao didn't turn around, and ran to the side of the road while returning, "You stay in the car!" He rushed to the opposite guardrail in three steps , leaning on the railing, turned over and landed next to the man, stretched out his paw and patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Brother Rong!"
"Ah, it's Yaozi..." Seeing Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong smiling unnaturally, he turned around and said to the two people in the same company, "This is my friend Lin Yao, who has taken a new best partner together. His personality is a bit out of character, let you guys I'm laughing." Lin Yao followed Zheng Shaorong's eyes to look at the two people, one looked a bit feminine, but it was undeniable that he had a very good appearance; the other had an ordinary appearance, and he couldn't be found in the crowd of passers-by.Both of them were familiar with each other, but Lin Yao couldn't name them after thinking hard.Zheng Shaorong turned around to resolve his predicament, "This..." Zheng Shaorong's palm pointed to the feminine man "Da Ming, a school of Huang Mingming" and then to another "poet Lin Xi".Lin Yao suddenly realized that Huang Minming was an idol singer who was very popular in the 80s and 90s, and then gradually disappeared. It is not surprising that he has memories but can't remember them.And Lin Xi. .Although Lin Yao doesn't remember his appearance, he is very familiar with this name. In the field of lyricists, he has a keen observation of things and a keen sense of the city. He is famous for his fast lyrics and high output. , are all words made by him.
"Long admiration, long admiration" Lin Yao couldn't help taking a few more glances. He had also heard some gossip in his previous life. The two had been entangled for more than 20 years. One was romantic and the other was ruthless. Huang Minming's contribution is indispensable, because he expresses his deepest feelings, emotions, and experiences through words and sentences. Every singer who sings Lin Xi's lyrics is singing love songs and love poems to Huang Minming on his behalf. He expressed his sadness, which has lasted for more than 20 years and has not changed. Unfortunately, with many lyrics and many awards, he couldn't win the person he wanted.
Withdrawing his wandering thoughts and gaze, Lin Yao knew that the three of them were just taking a casual walk, and volunteered to invite a guest to take them to play together.Then they went to the place where children wanted to go, the playground, eating smoothies, going to the beach to have a bonfire and barbecue, and a group of people played like children until the sun went down.
When returning home, Lin Wei was so tired that she fell asleep lying on the car window, unlike when she woke up making noise.Huang Minming's and Lin Xi's homes are relatively close, after Lin Yao sent them home first, only the sleeping child and Zheng Shaorong were left in the car.
In the silent carriage of "Yaozi", Zheng Shaorong suddenly called Lin Yao.
"Huh?" Lin Yao felt that Qifeng in Cheli was too dull, but he didn't know how to start a conversation, he turned on the FM radio and looked for a music station.
"thanks..."
"What is there to thank, we were just on the same road..."
"sorry..."
"what?"
"I don't want to start a new relationship for the time being, thank you for your love...and, I'm sorry."
Lin Yao's FM hand paused slightly. It turned out that the incident in Japan was not a hallucination. Is this a refusal?
"Hehe..." There was only a dry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Whenever Brother Rong wants to start over, I will wait for you at the same place."
Zheng Shaorong didn't know what to say, he hadn't been in contact with her for a long time, so why is the other party obsessed with him?Appearance? "Yao Tsai,..."
Lin Yao interrupted Zheng Shaorong's unspoken words, "I don't know the origin of the love, but the love is deep...I don't read much, so I saw this sentence by chance, and it was inexplicably very satisfying."
At this time, the radio station that has been on FM, only rustling, finally heard music. Lin Yao heard the familiar melody, and couldn't help singing along, "You ask... how deeply I love you, how much I love you , my love is true, my love is true, and the moon represents my heart. A light kiss has already touched my heart..." In the quiet car, only Lin Yao's deep and melodious voice remained. Voice.
They sent Zheng Shaorong directly downstairs to his house, neither of them said a word, Lin Yao quietly lay on the steering wheel and watched him get off the car, watched him go upstairs, watched him switch on and off the lights in his room, without moving. . . .
7. The initial development of the business...
After that night, Lin Yao needed to prepare for the opening of the company, and Zheng Shaorong also accepted a movie with an unknown director, so neither of them had time to spare, or Zheng Shaorong deliberately avoided it, because Lin Yao couldn't go to the set because of the rejection last time. Visiting the class, occasionally going downstairs to him several times, but never being lucky enough to meet him again, calling his home every day, and the only thing coming from the other end of the line is a cold mechanical voice.
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, is the crew busy with work? Pay attention to rest..."
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, there is a torrential rain and typhoon today, and you are still rushing to the set? Be careful and safe..."
"The master is not here, please leave a message..."
"Brother Rong, the weather has changed suddenly, add more clothes, and be careful of catching a cold..."
. . . . . . . .
When the midsummer comes, Guoxing has already made preparations, and the invitations are only waiting for the ribbon-cutting of the opening. Although Xiang Qiang has not been too involved in the film industry before, relying on the power of Xin Ngee Ann, people related to the film industry, no matter whether they have invitations or not. , all came to join us.
On the opening day, there were a lot of guests at the gate of the remote Guoxing Company, and many famous cars were parked.The welcome guests announced the identity of the guests one after another, "Mr. Xu from New Art City Film Company sent flower baskets, Mr. Zou from Golden Harvest Film Company sent flower baskets, Mr. Shao Shao sent flower baskets... Ms. Mei Lanfangmei sent flower baskets... "Lin Yao deliberately dressed up, wearing a high-end custom-made suit, which made him look more like a tree, and stood at the gate with Xiang Qiang to welcome the film company executives who came to the scene.
"Hello, Mr. Zou, thank you for your support..." Lin Yaojing introduced to Qiang, who was busy shaking hands with different bosses to thank him, "Hello, Mr. Shao, please come in and wait for the ribbon cutting..."
After all the guests had entered and sat down, Lin Yao's eyes kept scanning the crowd, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to meet. He sent out the invitation card early in the morning, but. . .
It was a great day, but Lin Yao was not interested, so he stopped participating in the following activities after the ribbon cutting, and sat in a corner drinking.Lin Yao was holding the wine glass, his eyes were empty and he forgot about the gentlemen and celebrities on the dance floor with their fragrant clothes and temples.The sofa beside him suddenly sank, "Mr. Lin, why didn't you socialize and sit here drinking alone?" He turned his head and saw a familiar face by accident.
"Isn't Mr. Zhou too?" The person who came was none other than Zhou Xingchi, the comedian star who will become famous in the future. At this time, the star was still a little immature, wearing a dress that didn't fit well, obviously he didn't get along very well. .
I wanted to get close to Lin Yao to find an opportunity to introduce myself, but Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but smile wryly, "It's hard for Mr. Lin to know my name. I'm just a trickster. What qualifications do I have to be on the stage with these big names and celebrities." The dress is also rented, but it is because I have some friendship with Section Master Zhou that I have the opportunity to come here."
At this time, Zhou Xingchi was very down and out, and he was far from the glory of the future. The students who were at the same time as him in the ATV artist training class, such as Tony Leung, had already made their mark, but he was still hosting children's programs, playing small roles in various sets, such as "The Condor Shooting" Song Bingjia in "The Legend of Heroes".
Lin Yao put down his wine glass, propped his chin with his hands, and looked at the other party for a while, "I have seen some of your roles, which have great potential. Are you interested in leaving the current Universal Company and signing a film contract with us?" Seeing the right On the other hand, he was overjoyed, and then continued to say, "The number one male lead..."
Zhou Xingchi was overjoyed. He didn't have any expectations when he talked to Lin Yao, but he was familiar with each other. It would be beneficial to meet him in the future. Who would have thought that a huge pie would fall from the sky and smash him to death? "Thank you, Mr. What kind of film is it? When will the contract be signed?" The tone was rather urgent.
Lin Yao looked at Zhou Xingchi, who was a bit out of his mind, with a half-smile, "I'm still writing the script, it's only two or three days. As for signing the contract...you can come to the company tomorrow."
Hearing that the script was written by Lin Yao, Zhou Xingchi's excitement disappeared a lot. He knew that Lin Yao was just a young and dangerous boy before, so Xiang Qiang valued it inexplicably and asked him to form the National Star Company. This script is probably an outsider A low-budget movie for playing tickets, but I didn’t let go of my mistakes, and I couldn’t even pay the rent, so what qualifications did I have to be picky about the script?What's more, it's the first time to play the leading role, even if it's a bad movie, this is still an opportunity.
Originally, the movie "The God of Gamblers" was created by Liu Zhenwei, the director and screenwriter of another small film company that has just been established, Zheng Shaorong, who is currently taking over the film. It follows the trend of "God of Gamblers" starring Chow Yun-fat, the box office champion for 90 years. do.Lin Yao took him out ahead of time, a little sorry for the original author Liu Zhenwei, but in order to keep Zhou Xingchi, a cash cow, he didn't care about that much.
When he went back that day, Lin Yao locked himself in his study and recalled the plot. Although he was born in the director department of Beijing Film Academy, he has been in the TV circle of the imperial court after graduation. Except for the short films shot in school, he has never actually made a movie. Circle, Saint of Gamblers, the pioneering work of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical film, I have seen and talked about it back then, but this is not the pinnacle of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical film. He could only add some funny jokes from later generations, fabricate and intersperse certain plots, and it took far longer than he imagined to complete the creation. He was born half a month later. He showed Xiang Qiang the script and declared that he would He was in charge of the film as the director, and the cost was not high, so Xiang Qiang let him go.
After signing the contract, Zhou Xingchi would come to the company to report every day full of joy, but every time he would return disappointed. This time when he came to Guoxing again, he happened to meet Lin Yao who came back from Xiang Qiang's place in the corridor, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, That show..."
Lin Yao knew that Zhou Xingchi would come these days, and he said it would only be three or five days, but he couldn't help being ashamed that he couldn't do it for such a long time. When we met again this time, he happened to have a script for Xiang Qiang at hand, so he handed it over immediately. To Zhou Xingchi, "The script has already been written. I didn't think it was enough to make you wait too long. I'm really sorry."
"Ah, it's all right..." Zhou Xingchi took the script and buried his head in it, he didn't care much about Lin Yao's apology, he just stood in the corridor and just looked down at it.Different from the mediocre book he imagined before, as a gambling film, there are not too many bloody scenes such as gun battles and revenge, but more humorous and witty.It fits surprisingly well with his acting style, just. . .
"Mr. Lin, something is inappropriate here." Zhou Xingchi pointed to a certain line in the script and showed it to Lin Yao. It happened to be one of the parts that Lin Yao added on his own, and it was a bit out of the contemporary Hong Kong style. "Here, change it..."
After Lin Yao listened to Zhou Xingchi's opinion, it was indeed more suitable than what he had written.Zhou Xingchi is an actor with a lot of ideas and ideas. When playing the role of "The Condor Heroes", Mei Chaofeng beat him to death with a slap when he showed his face. When they died, the two stood in the corridor, revising and revising the script, which attracted the attention of many staff members.
It took another two days to finish revising the script. Lin Yao did not change the original cast, and Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Wu Junru and others still starred. The crew and actors had been recruited properly. Lin Yao also directed and acted as a martial artist.Because Zhou Xingchi is very spiritual, Lin Yao gave him the title of assistant director, so that he can implement his own ideas and suggestions more conveniently.
A young man from mainland China has a star who can see through the supernatural power of playing cards, and he comes to Hong Kong to seek refuge with Uncle Da. The two collide in Hong Kong by mistake and get involved in the underworld gambling hegemony. It doesn't need to be too high, but only 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
In the first scene, Ah Xing just came from the mainland to look for Uncle Da. Uncle Da was only playing mahjong and did not go to pick up Ah Xing. Ah Xing was downstairs at his house. He didn’t know how to play with the electronic doorman. The clip where the roommate apologizes and asks to come in.Lin Yao had some selfishness in this intercom role, so he played this part by himself.
Ah Xing squatted downstairs with his luggage in his arms and complained that people in Hong Kong didn't start work at seven o'clock. Lin Yao stood in front of the walkie-talkie and explained to the other party, "I really started working all night last night..."
A male voice on the intercom "I don't want to hear your explanation"
Lin Yao's character is very helpless, and he sighed with his forehead raised, "I really didn't date other boys."
"I do not believe"
"If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him, really... Cary, what do I have to say before you open the door?"
"You say I love you ten times and I will open the door"
"Ok, ok, ok... I love you~ I love you~~ I love you..." Turning around and seeing Ah Xing approaching, Lin Yao's voice became much softer, "I... love you. .I~love~you...”
Ah Xing had never seen anyone talking to the wall in the mainland, so he simply put down his luggage and stood a punch away from Lin Yao, leaning his head close to the walkie-talkie to carefully observe whether there was anyone inside.
"I..." Just as Lin Yao was about to speak, he leaned forward with a big head. . . .
"I..." The big head moved closer
Lin Yao, who was interrupted several times, simply ignored him, hugged the walkie-talkie and yelled, "I love you, I love you...I love you..." He fled into the building almost at the same time as the iron door opened, and locked it behind him. Ah Xing who wants to follow.
Ah Xing thought that he could open the iron door by saying "I love you" to the walkie-talkie. He tidied up his appearance and imitated Lin Yao and shouted loudly to the walkie-talkie, "I love you, I love you, I love you..." People passing by They all looked at A Xing with crazy eyes. It happened that an old woman in the building came back from exercising and hurriedly opened the iron door to escape into the building like Lin Yao. So developed..."
"CUT!" The director shouted the card, and Lin Yao came down from the building. He admitted that when he wrote this paragraph, he thought about doing this, so he changed the name of the other party to Zheng Shaorong in the script.Looking at the screen just now, there is no problem and continue to end.
After a whole day, Zhou Xingchi's acting was so familiar that he didn't look like a newcomer at all, and even improvised to enrich some details that were not in the script, such as the marker under the arm of the heroine Qi Meng, a huge birthmark that runs through the whole play.The acting skills of the supporting actors Wu Mengda and others are also very good, setting off Zhou Xingchi, he still has a sense of presence. The weakness of fighting in the original film was also improved because Lin Yao also served as a martial arts instructor.
The entire crew is in good condition, and it was originally a quick shoot. Before the end of the summer, Lin Yao cut out a part of the source material. The Gambler was about to wrap up, only to realize that he had overlooked a huge problem before ---- -Cinema.
Guoxing was originally set up for money laundering. Xiang Qiang set up a shelf for him. He didn't expect to start filming so soon, so some things, Guoxing didn't accumulate enough. Lin Yao made a movie for the first time, Xiang Qiang didn't have any What expectations, relying on those theater chains under him is enough, but Lin Yao is not satisfied. .
Anytime, anywhere, people will have the idea of getting rich overnight, but how can ordinary people realize this dream more easily?That is gambling.This also explains the popularity of gambling movies in the 80s and 90s. After all, everyone has a dream of getting rich.
The gambling film "God of Gamblers", which was originally released in 90, has not yet started filming. It is the first time for this film to win the game with supernatural powers, high technology and gambling skills. Lin Yao has no doubt that this comedy film will achieve a good box office. , even surpassed the previous life, but if there are not enough theaters, all this is just empty talk. Once entering the film world, the company with theaters can easily hold Lin Yao by the throat, so he can only urge his subordinates to step up the acquisition At the same time, the theaters are discussing with Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao and other companies to obtain support from their theaters.
When is the right time for a comedy movie to be released?Summer holidays and holidays.Now that October is approaching, the summer holidays have already passed. At this time, there is no seven-day National Day holiday in Hong Kong, so the only holiday left is Christmas. Lin Yao and various company bosses have not made any progress in discussing the release of the film in theaters.
National Star participates in the film market. The established company is already facing a formidable enemy. This time, it will borrow its own theater during the Christmas holiday to show National Star's films. The company's films will lose one schedule, which makes them also have distribution rights. How are other companies willing to do it.Lin Yao had no choice but to mobilize the strength of Xin Ngee Ann's network and at the same time increase the proportion of theater chains, so he persuaded some theaters to release the non-important time of the Christmas prime time.
The difficulty of leasing the theater chain made Lin Yao more determined to acquire the theater chain. He frequently had a good time, and recently began to decline.
Debao Company was established in 1984. It was a joint-stock company funded by Pan Disheng, Cen Jianxun, Hong Jinbao and others. At that time, Hong Kong was different from other film and television group family development models. It adopted a professional manager system. Unfortunately, This manager likes to spend a lot of money, and hires superstar and famous directors to make movies. The results of the movies are good, but he can't make ends meet.Debao couldn't quell the disagreement among internal shareholders, and the income was not good. It had planned to sell the film and television business. After receiving Lin Yao's acquisition intention, the senior management agreed to discuss it.
Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they landed, Lin Yao made an appointment to discuss in the meeting room of the other party in order to show his sincerity, but he didn't expect that the price offered by Debao was too high. "Mr. Pan, please do me a favor for Mr. Xiang. The acquisition of Shaw Cinemas is only 3000 million Hong Kong papers, and the current asking price of [-] million will not be too much."
Before 1985, there were three theater lines in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City. Among them, Shaw Brothers was the largest, but it always lost money year after year due to insufficient quality of film sources.When Debao Company was established, the films were released in Golden Harvest Cinemas. After experiencing many times like Lin Yao’s predicament of not being able to make it into the prime time slot, it was only after purchasing the theaters in Run Run Shaw’s hands for [-] million Hong Kong dollars. The right to speak, who would have guessed that five years later, Debao would repeat the same mistakes of Shaw Brothers, and reached the point where it needed to sell its theater business.
Pan Disheng didn't seem to hear Lin Yao's words, so he turned around and asked the secretary, "How much did we donate to the mainland last time?"
"Two million Hong Kong dollars." After listening to the secretary's respectful answer, Pan Disheng smiled apologetically at Lin Yao, "I'm sorry, Lin Sheng, I didn't hear what you said clearly just now."
Seeing that Pan Disheng meant that he was not short of money, Lin Yao refused to sell the cinema at a lower price.But now Lin Yao really needed to release new films in theaters, and when Debao completely gave up the film and television business and sold them at a low price in less than two years, he could only agree to the ridiculous price offered by Pan Disheng.
The author has something to say: My hair is almost graying because of these two scenes, I am really not suitable for writing this stuff, put the lid on the pot and step back~
When I was writing this article, I heard this song by chance, and I really felt kakaka. .
still leaning on sleepless nights
staring at the sky
still hear the violin
tease again
Why is there only one crescent moon left
stay in my sky
Audio is blocked after this night
people like the moon in the sky
is not available
Love is past and only left behind
irreparable parting
why just disappointed
fill my void
no kiss goodbye tonight
still saying forever
unexpected is an excuse
never meant to break up
but my heart every minute
still possessed by him
he looks like this moon
still not open
violin solo
The moon is half leaning on late autumn
my concern
my longing
until later
8. Dating in Hawaii...
After the acquisition and rectification of Debao Cinemas, editing and editing, many things were busy in the preview, and the Christmas holiday was approaching. The audience responded well in the preview. Critics and the media were very surprised by Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance style. The use of supernatural powers in the film is the first and also attracts attention. Therefore, the publicity and comments in newspapers and magazines are basically praise words, which greatly aroused the curiosity of the audience.
The box office statistics on the first day of the Christmas holiday are as high as 500 million Hong Kong dollars!Zhou Xingchi and the crew at the venue couldn't believe it. A film with a total cost of less than 200 million can achieve this kind of box office. Not to mention a myth, it is also very rare. This is only the first day. Judging from this trend, the box office after the release period At least it can break through 2000 million, because the theaters are their own, and they can get rid of the theater's share, excluding the cost of producing promotional actors' salaries, etc., and can make a net profit of at least 1500 million.
Lin Yao smiled and said nothing at Zhou Xingchi and others' excited speculation, not enough, not enough!Historically, the box office of The Saint of Gamblers has reached more than 4000 million, and it was the box office champion of the year. The mere 2000 million is only half of it.
Unexpectedly, the development of the next thing was somewhat beyond Lin Yao's expectations, and the box office of the gambling saint dropped sharply the next day.Lin Yao found out that a newly released movie stole the rest of the show. The director of this movie was unknown, and the promotional campaign was not violent, so it was unnoticed, so not many were released on the first day. The next day, the number of screening theaters increased suddenly, and even squeezed out the prime-time films of other big companies, just because the audience lined up day and night to strongly demand more screenings!
When seeing this film and the name of the main creator, Lin Yao was not at all surprised that the Holy Gambler could not compete with the other party at the box office. The director may be unknown at this time, but in later generations, he and this film have become a Hong Kong movie. Representative symbols, it is "Days of Being Wild" and Wong Kar-wai, which can be called the pinnacle milestones of Hong Kong movies.
This film describes the inner world of a group of lonely and rebellious young people, full of strong nostalgic atmosphere.The six protagonists chase after each other in several entangled love affairs between men and women, and each bears the teasing of fate.It truly reproduces the living environment and social conditions of ordinary young people in Hong Kong.In this environment, they are eager to find their own value and position, but also struggle, wandering in the sourness of frustration, reflecting the tired souls of people in the 8s and 90s. Compared with their own funny movies, they are obviously Days of Being Wild more resonant.
He couldn't understand why The Story of Being Wild, which was only released in 90, jumped out to grab the box office at this time. In the end, it could only be attributed to his own butterfly effect. Since the Saint of Gamblers and National Star Film Company can be released in advance, why can't Story of Being Wild?
Wei Dao never sees Zheng Shaorong. Zheng Shaorong is the leading actor in this film. Wong Kar-wai's films are famous for their high quality and literary art, but his production speed is surprisingly slow compared to the film industry at that time. Zheng Shaorong spent half a year on the set .
Lin Yao had watched Days of Being Wild before, but he hadn't seen Zheng Shaorong for half a year, even if he only saw him on the big screen, it would be good, and he also wanted to see if this movie would be because of his butterfly wings Something changed, so on the third day of the Christmas holiday, Lin Yao, holding popcorn and Coke, appeared in front of a movie theater in Golden Harvest Cinemas like an ordinary audience.
"Pretty girl, give me a movie ticket for the next episode of Days of Being Wild." Lin Yao leaned over the ticket window, took the movie ticket handed by the conductor, and was about to squeeze out of the crowded crowd when suddenly someone behind him The person patted his palm, "Yaozai..."
"Huh?" Lin Yao looked at the person who patted himself on the back, even though he was wearing a trench coat, a hat, a mask and a scarf, he still recognized him at a glance, "Brother Rong~~~~Hmm!"
"Hush..." Zheng Shaorong looked around, covered Lin Yao's words with his palms, and dragged him away from the crowd. A superstar, who appeared on the set of a movie he starred in, would have no idea what would happen if his identity was revealed. can guess.After being dragged to a corner with few people, Zheng Shaorong let go of Lin Yao's covered mouth and nose, and pulled down the scarf and mask.
"Brother Rong...you've lost weight and turned dark..." Lin Yao looked up and down at Zheng Shaorong who had been separated for a long time. The half-year-long filming was obviously not a comfortable job. The light blue stubble covered his small face. Lin Yao believes that even if he shouts Zheng Shaorong now, fans may not be able to recognize him
"Ha, how can you not get tanned when filming, don't you think Brother Rong is more manly?" Zheng Shaorong has heard this kind of talk a lot recently, and he rubbed the stubble on his chin without paying attention.
After half a year of adjustment, he is much more cheerful than before. Occasionally when he comes home, he hears the caring greetings on the phone recording that have not been interrupted for half a year. many. "I heard that you, Yaozi, directed a movie yourself, why don't you invite Brother Rong to watch it together?"
This is, a date? ? ? ?The theater in Lin Yao's brain was running quickly, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly responded, "Hey~~Brother Rong, wait for me here, and I will queue up to buy tickets." Then go to the ticket sales at a speed comparable to a [-]-meter sprint run everywhere. "Beautiful girl, please give me another movie ticket for Days of Being Wild and two tickets for The Gambler"
Holding four movie tickets, Lin Yao was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether to watch the true story of A Fei first or the Gambler first. He wanted to watch A Fei first to show his importance to Zheng Shaorong, and also wanted his sweetheart to see his little thoughts. , it is difficult to decide at the moment.In the end, it was Zheng Shaorong who made up his mind and looked at the gambler first.
The two followed the crowd into the arena, found their seats and sat down. The lights in the auditorium were gradually turned off. After the company's logo and the list of main creators were displayed on the screen, the opening scene was A Xing at the vending machine. Before buying water with RMB, the money was refunded every time. The border police tricked him into calling the boss at the vending machine, and the vending machine would give him face to lend him water.The audience below were all overwhelmed with laughter at Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance.
Lin Yao turned his head to look at Zheng Shaorong in the dim light, and saw a slight curve at the corner of his lips. His heart was filled with all kinds of satisfaction and happiness. After buying the water, he went to the part where Lin Yao played tricks. Looking at the real person, at this moment, the dubbing "Cary boy,
