Chapter 211: The End of Xu Zhi (2) (4700+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
"Looks like it's going to happen!"
Hong Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye here and spared no effort to praise Xu Zhi, muttering to himself.
"Senior brother, what did you say?"
Cheng Long next to him didn't hear clearly, and asked curiously.
"Didn't say anything. Hong Jinbao shook his head, and then whispered to Cheng Long: "Ah Long, you can have more contact with Fengge Entertainment in the future, but don't get too close!"
Cheng Long was slightly stunned, in fact, when he came to the scene today, Cheng Long had some doubts in his heart, Fengge Entertainment is just a newly established entertainment company, according to Hong Jinbao's status in the Xiangjiang film industry, there is no need to be so concerned about a newly opened film company, and now not only come over in person, and preside over the company's film release ceremony, but even bring himself here, which was impossible in the past.
"Senior brother, does this company have any background?" asked Cheng Long.
"You don't care about this, anyway, this company is not simple, we are making movies, we can't worry about so many things, and besides, there are many friends and many ways out in this world, this company is not bad for money, maybe it will be used in the future." ”
Hong Jinbao looked at Wu Jianye, who was talking and laughing with Chen Wenlun and Xie Wanqing, and couldn't help but sigh, businessmen are really born actors, obviously both sides are eager to strangle each other, but now they are like old friends for many years, it's really exciting.......
"Then we won't delay Wu Sheng here to greet the distinguished guests, and after the movie is over, we will congratulate Wu Sheng again!" Chen Wenlun accentuated the tone of the words 'the movie is over'!
"No problem, our company will have a celebration banquet at that time, and Chen Sheng and Miss Xie must participate in it then!"
"That's a sure thing! Such a good opportunity, we will definitely not let it go!"
"Ah Zhi, help me greet Chen Sheng and Miss Xie, these two are my distinguished guests, and they must not be neglected!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Brother Ang, don't worry!" Xu Zhi said happily.
Fengge Entertainment has just been established, and there are no connections in Xiangjiang, so when "Mr. Zombie" was released, no celebrities came to cheer, but a few unknown third-rate movie stars came over to see if there was a chance, but these people, Wu Jianye had never even seen them, so naturally they didn't deliberately make friends.
originally thought that the guests who came were almost there, and Wu Jianye was ready to enter the theater to prepare for the release of the movie.
Suddenly saw a man in his fifties, already full of gray hair, and a thin figure walking over with a smile, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao were also surprised when they saw this man, and then immediately greeted him.
"Godfather, why are you here?" Cheng Long said in surprise.
"Haha, today is the release of Fengge Entertainment's new movie, and it will be released in our Golden Harvest theaters, of course I want to come to cheer. ”
"Wu Sheng, let me introduce to you, this is the general manager of Golden Harvest Films, Mr. He Guanchang. Hong Jinbao pointed to the old man and introduced to Wu Jianye, and then introduced to He Guanchang: "Manager He, this is the ...... of Fengge Entertainment" He really didn't know how to introduce Wu Jianye's identity in Fengge Entertainment.
"Old He, hello, Wu Jianye, the consultant of the contemptible Fengge Entertainment, please give me more advice in the future!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Heroes come out of teenagers, Fengge Entertainment's first movie, the investment reached 8 million, which requires a lot of courage!" He Guanchang said with a smile.
"He Lao praised it, we are just a small fight, it is comparable to Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest has also made great achievements in Hollywood in the past two years, winning glory for Hong Kong people!" Wu Jianye said complimentingly.
"Hey, the place of the ghost guy is always not as good as the place where we are Chinese, so I won't delay Wu Sheng, just let Ah Long accompany me, let's go in first and wait for the movie to be released!" He Guanchang didn't say anything more to Wu Jianye, and walked into the theater with Cheng Long.
Wu Jianye looked at his back curiously, this is the top boss in the Xiangjiang film industry, he followed Zou Wenhuai out of the Shaw Brothers and established Golden Harvest, after Bruce Lee died, he personally operated Cheng Long to sign Golden Harvest, it can be said that Golden Harvest is one person and more than ten thousand people.
Is there no reason for such a character to come and cheer in person today?
However, what made Wu Jianye even more curious was that the Shaw Brothers even sent someone to send a flower basket, although there was no management over, but such a situation is still very rare.
Wu Jianye looked at Hong Jinbao with some doubts.
Hong Jinbao hurriedly smiled bitterly: "I don't have such a big face!"
Wu Jianye thought about it for a while and didn't understand the reason for this, so he simply didn't want to, and there were no guests next, Wu Jianye took Hong Jinbao and approached the theater directly.
But what Wu Jianye didn't notice was that not long after they entered the theater, Johnson also approached the theater with a movie ticket with an excited face.......
Since Johnson left the United States, he has felt a lot more relieved because he has no "Jurassic Park" and no rock songs around him.
Especially after coming into contact with Xiangjiang movies, he has a strong interest in Xiangjiang movies, his family's business is originally related to movies, and he also likes to watch movies very much, he used to watch more Hollywood movies, but after coming to Xiangjiang this time, when he watched Xiangjiang movies, he was immediately attracted by Xiangjiang movies.
The almost crazy style made him fascinated, this is a completely different way of acting from Hollywood movies, which fascinated him very much, during this time in Xiangjiang, he either watched movies in the theater, or rented videos in the hotel where he lived, and today he saw in the newspaper that a movie about 'vampire' ghosts was going to be released, and he naturally couldn't let it go.
When Wu Jianye and Hong Jinbao walked into the theater, the lights in the theater were still fully turned on at this time, and it was very bright, so Wu Jianye saw Xu Zhi sitting there chatting with Chen Wenlun and Xie Wanqing at a glance.
"Chen Sheng, Miss Xie, Xu Zhi is the distribution manager of our company, you should return the person to me!" Wu Jianye said affectionately, as if Xu Zhi was his right-hand man.
"Haha, this is natural!" Chen Wenlun looked very happy, and then suddenly smiled: "By the way, Wu Sheng, the release of the movie is not a trivial matter, have you checked the copies or everything clearly, there won't be any problems, right?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't worry, Manager Xu will check all this for us, and Manager Xu's work experience will definitely be no problem." ”
"Then I wish Wu Sheng's movie a big hit again!" Chen Wenlun was also very happy.
However, Xu Zhi, who had already walked to Wu Jianye's side, was slightly stunned in his heart, when did he check these things?
In fact, Wu Jianye and the others were not too far away from Chen Wenlun, and there was only a row of seats in the middle.
Seeing Wu Jianye and the others sitting in their places, Chen Wenlun had a sneer on his face, "I'll see how you can laugh in a while!"
In this era, there is no concept of premieres at all, so before the release of the movie, it is impossible for many main creators to go up and gag, but after the movie, there is a rule that all film creators like the most and fear the most, do you want to know why? At the midnight preview screening, the main staff of each film must be present to understand the word-of-mouth, generally the director, the leading actors, and the producer.
This midnight show is the most unruly, if the film is not good, it will be pointed at the nose and scolded by the audience. If it looks good, it will usher in full applause and heartfelt admiration from the audience, and it will spread word of mouth. Therefore, in this era, even dull literary films, as long as the test screening has a good reputation, it can also have some box office.
This is where the future of Hong Kong films is far behind, and the directors and actors are very afraid of this. Because in the midnight field, if the audience is not satisfied, it is still a trivial matter to scold a few words, and it is even possible to hit someone without taking responsibility.
Therefore, every director and actor always do their best to do everything well, so as to please the audience and escape the catastrophe of the test screening. As a result, when everyone was deliberately trying to please the audience, Hong Kong movies gradually became Hong Kong films that were easy to understand and extremely entertaining, and even the Hollywood films of that era were far inferior.
In Wu Jianye's view, this unwritten rule is both good and bad. The advantage is that it can urge filmmakers to work harder, which is a hundred times better than those actors and directors in the 21st century who only get paid and don't make good films. The downside is that the audience often dominates the creator's thinking, and once a film is a success, it will be copied by others. Wu Jianye believes that this is one of the reasons why the trend was rampant in the 80s and early 90s.
Cheng Long, who was sitting on the other side of the theater, asked He Guanchang with some curiosity: "Godfather, why did you come over?"
He Guanchang smiled: "This Fengge Entertainment is not simple, I dared to invest 8 million Hong Kong dollars in the first movie, and then invited a domestic delegation, which obviously has a mainland background." ”
The crew of "Mr. Zombie" used the set of Golden Harvest, and most of the actors were signed actors of Golden Harvest, how could the senior management of Golden Harvest not know about the inspection group, but in the final analysis, this is all about Fengge Entertainment, what does it have to do with him Golden Harvest.
This kind of don't have to bear anything, and it can be sold well to the mainland, so it should be regarded as an investment in advance, as for whether the investment will receive results, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang will not care.
As for the Shaw Brothers, who had just sent the flower basket, they naturally had this in mind.
Cheng Long was taken aback: "Do you have a mainland background......?"
"You just came back, and you don't know what Fengge Entertainment did some time ago, this company can't see him as a simple entertainment company, Sanmao should have been calculated by the other party!"
"Since the other party has a background in the mainland, why do you want to come here in person, Wanwan?"
He Guanchang smiled faintly: "Who said that I know that he has a background in the mainland? I came here this time just to support my colleagues in Xiangjiang!"
The lights in the theater were turned off completely, and it was plunged into darkness.
"Haha, look at it, Fengge Entertainment is about to become a joke in Xiangjiang!" Chen Wenlun was a little emotional.
However, when a fiery phoenix flew by on the big screen, and the header of Fengge Entertainment appeared, Chen Wenlun showed a puzzled look on his face.
The copy I prepared for them didn't have these headers.......
First his face was blue, and then he saw that the movie Chinese appeared, and when the movie officially began, Chen Wenlun's face was completely red, looking at his lower row, just in time to see Wu Jianye also looking back at him, and by the way gave him a victor's smile.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Wenlun saw Wu Jianye hugging Xu Zhi's shoulders affectionately, and whispered that he didn't know what he was talking about, but looking at the appearance of the two, he was obviously very happy, especially Xu Zhi nodded excitedly.
At this time, Chen Wenlun knew that he was tricked by Wu Jianye again, but this time what he hated the most was not Wu Jianye, but Xu Zhi who took the money and didn't do anything, this is Chiguo's provoking himself.
"Hmph, let's go!" After speaking, Chen Wenlun took Xie Wanqing's hand and left the cinema.
At the beginning of the movie, Xu Zhi was also confused, and then his body was trembling in an instant, obviously he did not complete what Chen Wenlun explained, Chen Wenlun and Wu Jianye are different, the Chen family is a veteran rich family in Xiangjiang, and it is inextricably linked with the community in Xiangjiang, now that there is such a situation, how can Xu Zhi not be afraid.
Suddenly, Xu Zhi stood up and went to explain to Chen Wenlun, but immediately a strong hand wrapped around his shoulder, making him unable to move.
"My distribution manager, you just left as soon as the movie started, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Wu Jianye's voice sounded in Xu Zhi's ears with compassion.
Looking at Wu Jianye's smiling expression, Xu Zhi immediately understood his previous behavior, and Wu Jianye must have known it.
For a while, Xu Zhi's heart was like falling into the abyss, and his mind was rarely sober, and he understood that this was a pit dug by Wu Jianye for himself, and he always thought that he had played Wu Jianye in the palm of his hand, but now it seems that he is not a big horse monkey, jumping up and down where he thinks he is proud.
In fact, he was jumping around in the cage that Wu Jianye prepared for himself, that is, the bananas he ate were all thrown by Wu Jianye.
"Wu Sheng, I ......."
"You said that when you walk out of the theater after the movie is over, what will the Chen family do to you?"
"Wu Sheng, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, you save me, I don't dare anymore!" Xu Zhi's mind began to make up that when he left the theater, there must have been a group of knife fighters ready, and he was afraid that he would be unlucky at that time.
Now the only one who can save himself is Wu Jianye.
"Why should I save you, according to your current behavior, it should be eating inside and out, if it is according to the rules of the community, it is estimated that three knives and six holes will not be avoided, if you are sent to the police station, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out before the return, and then you will have to go to the North "Big" Wilderness to receive re-education!"
"Wu Sheng, I really know it's wrong, I was a ghost at that time, so you can be merciful and save me, I followed you all the way to work hard, and there is no merit and hard work!" Xu Zhidu knelt down for Wu Jianye.
"Alas, Ah Zhi, what you did made me very heartbroken, you know? It hurts!" Wu Jianye patted his chest and said, "Zhou Tao was able to come to Xiangjiang because of your help, we could have made a fortune together, why do you have to do this?"
"Wu Sheng, I really know it's wrong, will you spare me this time?" Xu Zhi grabbed Wu Jianye's arm tightly and begged, at this time, Wu Jianye could help him.
"Okay!" Wu Jianye said with a sigh on his face.
"Thank you Wu Sheng, thank you Wu Sheng!" Xu Zhi hurriedly said.
"Xiangjiang, you can't stay, after all, you also know the Chen family's power in Xiangjiang, the country is too close to Xiangjiang, it is inevitable that you will be found by the Chen family, I think you should go to Thailand to avoid for a short time, and when the wind in Xiangjiang is not so tight, you can come back, and then you can't think about it like this now!" Wu Jianye said seductively.
"Thank you Wu Sheng, thank you Wu Sheng!" Xu Zhi said gratefully.
"Okay, don't talk about this, it's all your own brother, although you betrayed me, but I can't help but be affectionate, but you have to remember that this is the last time!"
"Understood!"
"Zhou Sheng, you take Ah Zhi to leave at the back door first. At this time, Xu Zhicai saw a man with sunglasses sitting next to Wu Jianye, wearing sunglasses in the cinema, and there was no one, but Xu Zhi didn't dare to ask.
Wu Jianye continued to say to Xu Zhi: "I have already arranged the boat that ran away, you should leave quickly!"
Under Xu Zhi's repeated thanks, Wu Jianye watched Xu Zhi and Zhou Jiuliang leave the theater, but in the aisle, Zhou Jiuliang's body suddenly shook, as if he had been hit by something.
"Wu Sheng, did you really arrange for Xu Zhi to run away to Thailand?" Hong Jinbao was always there, and he couldn't help but ask curiously at this time.
"What Thailand? Obviously Equatorial Guinea ......."
