Evening, August 28, 1982. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info seven o'clock.

At the Golden Harvest Cinema in Tsing Yi Shop, Tsuen Wan, Kowloon, after nightfall, a flood of audiences poured into the cinema. Since many people come by car, the nearby parking lot is even fuller.

Many passers-by feel inexplicable, but after a little inquiry, they will know the reason - the first concert of the Happy Girls Group will be held at the Golden Harvest Cinema in Tsuen Wan, and the original soundtrack of the movie will be sung live.

In addition, the main creators of the "Happy Ghost" movie will also appear in the cinema to thank the audience who supported the movie.

And in order to cheer for the Happy Girl Group, Lin Qi, the boss of the New Entrepreneurship Department, also came to the scene in person, and it seemed that he knew the reason why Lin Qi was coming, and Zou Wenhuai also quietly came to the theater.

"Boss Zou?" Lin Qi said with a smile, "Why are you here too?" ”

"Can't I come?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "This is my own industry, do I need to be notified when I come to my own industry?"

Lin Qi said: "Of course you don't need to, Boss Zou isn't just here to watch the concert, right?"

"That's right. Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "I didn't know that Boss Lin was interested in movies, so he never had the opportunity to cooperate." However, after the establishment of the new venture film and television company, Zou did not pay attention to it and made a fatal mistake. As a result, Xinxin joined forces to make our entire Hong Kong film industry quite embarrassed. ”

"No offense. Lin Qi said apologetically, "Just because, writing a script, I feel that Xinyicheng has the candidates we need, so I chose Xinyicheng." ”

"So, is it possible to co-produce some movies between New Venture Film and Television and Golden Harvest?" Zou Wenhuai said, "In terms of talents and resources, we boast that we are not inferior to New Art City and Golden Princess Cinemas." ”

Lin Qi pondered for a while and said: "It's not impossible, there is a script that may be suitable for Jackie Chan." If Boss Zou is relieved to let Jackie Chan join and participate in the co-production. ”

The main factor in the rise of Golden Harvest is that it is good at betting and concentrating resources on a few of the most potential talents, such as Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan, which have supported the glory of Golden Harvest in three eras.

But it is also because Golden Harvest relies on the most popular stars, so after Jackie Chan opened Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest Movies was unable to find a replacement for Jackie Chan because of the decline of Hong Kong films, and it soon collapsed.

"No problem!" Zou Wenhuai said generously.

Now Jackie Chan has signed a 20-year long contract with Golden Harvest, and he has constantly increased additional terms, and every time Golden Harvest Film Company praises it, it is to bind Jackie Chan more firmly. With the liquidated damages of the additional clauses, it is estimated that no one will dig Jackie Chan, even if there is money, digging Jackie Chan is definitely not a cost-effective deal, because the cost of digging Jackie Chan can at least hold dozens of Jackie Chan. Zou Wenhuai boasts of his discerning eyes, and can find a bunch of characters who can replace Jackie Chan.

"It's OK to have Jackie Chan, and when you have a suitable script, you can adopt a cooperation model similar to that with Xinyicheng. Lin Qi smiled and said, "We will invest in some of the technology and find your company to borrow the crew." ”

Golden Harvest's film production level is not necessarily worse than that of New Arts City. If it was Shaw Brothers, Lin Qi would not dare to cooperate with him.

The filming of Golden Harvest and New Art City is basically a real scene. In order to save money, Shaw Brothers completed all the sets in their own studios, but due to their habit of picking the door in filming, coupled with rising prices, the production of Shaw Brothers has become a stupid production.

There are many bad movies in Hong Kong, but a company as big as Shaw Brothers is actually making bad movies is not news, and it is not news that bad movies are not afraid of bad movies, and it is really speechless to be like this. Now Shaw Brothers movies often write that Fang Yihua is the producer, and I am afraid that Uncle Shao Liu can't afford to lose people, so he asked his wife to be named.

……

Lin Qi and Zou Wenhuai's chat was not risk-averse, and Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen from New Art City were also listening clearly.

Zou Wenhuai deliberately did this, giving eye medicine to Xinyicheng. And Lin Qi is not at all, whether it is cooperating with Xinyicheng or cooperating with Golden Harvest, the initiative is in the hands of Lin Qi, and he is not a chess piece like Jackie Chan and Xu Guanjie, after being bound by the contract, he can only be at the mercy of the chess players.

Lin Qi is a higher-level chess player than Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, and the film and television industry is just a tool for Lin Qi to attract attention and incubate IP. Before the Internet era, the time to incubate IP was relatively long, and the effect of using film and television to incubate IP and attract attention was often stronger than that of novels and comics.

The IP incubation cycle of novels is relatively long, for example, Jin Yong's novels were created in the 60s ~ early 70s. However, the copyright adaptation of Jin Yong's novel did not start gradually until Jin Yong closed his pen.

Jin Yong's novels adapted from films, television, comics, and even games are easy to become popular, because their classics have stood the test of time, and his novels have been written for decades, and people have not forgotten them with the passage of time. Therefore, time is an effective tool to test the classics, so that the real classics are naturally the best IP!

For example, Huang Yulang's "Palm of the Gods" is a few points worse, although the highest sales volume has exceeded 100,000 copies, it seems that its sales are similar to those when Jin Yong's novel was just published in the sixties and seventies. However...... "The Palm of the Gods" has long been forgotten later.

If it weren't for the fact that Stephen Chow's movies later appeared in the Fire Cloud Evil God and the Divine Palm, who would have known that this popular comic that was once very popular in the 80s?

In terms of classicity, "Huoyun Evil God" is not even as good as "Dragon Tiger Gate", at least, decades later, "Dragon Tiger Gate" is still mentioned by many people. And "Dragon Tiger Gate" is a distance from "Sea Tiger", "Fengyun", "Chinese Hero", "Legend of the Son of Heaven", and "Divine Soldier Xuanqi".

In general, the influence of Hong Kong comics is still relatively niche, and the popular scope is mainly Hong Kong. Unlike Hong Kong films, music, and martial arts novels, the influence has long radiated beyond Hong Kong.

Especially Hong Kong films, and later the domestic film industry, still talk about the 60s ~ early 90s, the golden age of Hong Kong films. Bad movies and classics fly together, this is a true portrayal of Hong Kong films in this era. It's not that Hong Kong films are good-looking, but most of the bad ones have been drowned in the tide of history, and some have even been out of print.

……

After a long wait, the Happy Girl Group finally arrived belatedly. The stage darkened, and then the spotlights lit up.

Shine on the members of the Happy Girl Group one by one, Weng Meiling, Maggie Cheung, Du Lisha, and Zhou Huimin appeared one by one.

"Be optimistic and have no closed eyes (happy ghosts, happy ghosts)

Worry about no one every day (I don't control it, I don't control it)

Always pretend to be deceitful and deceitful (happy ghost, happy ghost)

Happy and the most stacked ghosts

The time that flies will pass in a blink of an eye

There are a lot of youth and beauty (happy ghosts)

In short, it doesn't matter if the ghosts are all turned into ghosts (remember) ......"

On the stage, Du Lisha sang the lead song, and the other girl groups sang the chorus on the side. I have to say that with this song, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly turned upside down......

"Lin Xiaohua!"

"Lin Qingqing ......"

In the middle of the night, Huang Baiming also came to the stage and danced.

"Zhu Xiucai?"

", we're going to see the beauties. ”

"Huang Baiming, what are you doing to make a scene, today is the Happy Girls Group concert. ”

Some fans screamed with excitement.

Unexpectedly, Du Lisha, who sings hard, is actually regarded as transparent air, while the girls who play important roles in other movies are more concerned.

Although Lin Xiaohua played by Maggie Cheung came on stage, her voice was very small, and she sang the chorus with the girl group, but her voice would not be exposed.

In the movie, although Maggie Cheung's role is not the protagonist, she has become a public lover because of her appearance.

Of course, I like Lin Qingqing played by Weng Meiling more, after all, she also played very well. However, in terms of attracting brain-dead fans, the current Weng Meiling actually didn't win Maggie Cheung, which was another surprise to Lin Qi.
