Chapter 239: If the sky is lovely
"Hahaha, you, you, you have cast a trick on yourself. β
Chen Jialuo pointed at Liu Haitang and laughed: "After Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei's new cinema is officially launched, will there be fewer films needed? Even if it is non-stop shooting, it will take time, right? And I have reached a consensus with Boss Chen that the number of films will be arranged according to the investment, rest assured!"
"Hey, hey. Liu Haitang actually remembered the previous news, Chen Jialuo was photographed going to Chen Rongmei's company.
Liu Haitang suddenly opened his mind and said: "Seriously, Ah Luo, you are also surnamed Chen, you won't be the son-in-law of the Chen family, right?"
Chen Jialuo scolded with a smile: "If I were the son-in-law of the Chen family, I would still need to sit here and rack my brains for this little money." β
"That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have to mortgage the property. Thinking of this, Liu Haitang gave Chen Jialuo a thumbs up.
Chen Jialuo grinned: "I mortgage the property not just to make a good movie, but to defeat all opponents." β
Liu Haitang was slightly stunned and said, "You people in Xinyi City, are everyone so ambitious!"
Whether it is the Big Three of Xinyicheng or the remaining Seven Monsters, each of them is full of confidence, dare to fight, and can't defeat Zeng Zhiwei no matter how many failures he makes, he still has to continue to do it.
Mai Jia said that he thinks that making movies is very similar to fighting the country, and he must be familiar with the Three Kingdoms and Chairman Mao, which all talk about how to fight the world, which is of great help to him.
In fact, in the early Hong Kong film industry, the class was very distinct, the boss was the boss, the guy was the guy, the boss could make a lot of money, and the guy was used like a dog.
The bald guy felt unfair and vowed to bring down the two most powerful film companies, the most powerful ones at that time were Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and he made movies with his buddies.
At the beginning, it was a failure, including "A Singleton Walks the World", a total of two or three were failures, and then slowly felt the pulse of the audience.
In response to Chairman Mao's two sentences, learn war from war, and the second sentence is that persistence is victory, and you must not quit.
An entertainment expert once said to him: Mecca, genius will not be buried, what is buried is definitely not genius, you have to persevere. The entertainment industry seems to be in line, the person in front of you may change careers and can't survive, your wife asks you to change careers, and you may leave, but as long as you persevere, it will be your turn in the end. It's just a queue. There is also a foreigner who said: Life is like a candle, all the way down to a little light will inevitably be the most beautiful and brilliant, everyone will have it. In the words of fortune telling, five years of good luck, ten years of good luck, you have to grasp this luck, when you grasp it well, the money you earn in a year is equal to the sum of the money you earn in your life, and he also met.
That's why Mecca believes in a saying that perseverance is victory.
Chen Jialuo also believes in this sentence, not to mention, he has a great advantage over others.
At the beginning, Maijia had the opportunity to encounter a win-win situation, there was a boss, he was a major shareholder of Kowloon Bus, Mr. Lui Juekun, and Mr. Wu Zhaocan, they had a cinema chain, they needed a movie, came to talk to him.
Mecca organized a company and needed the support of the backstage boss, which was a win-win situation, and then they started a new art city.
What is in front of Chen Jialuo now is also an opportunity, an opportunity given to him by Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei, and an opportunity that belongs to a win-win situation for each other.
The Hong Kong film industry is like a martial arts industry, with many strange people: there is a generation of grandmasters, such as Xu Meng and Mai Danxiong, who have created a trend and made people follow the trend, and there are also leaders of a faction, such as Mai Jia and Wu Feiyuan, who have an independent foundation and form a stable force.
Of course, since it is a martial arts in the rivers and lakes, it is necessary to compete for hegemony, but in the past hundred years of Hong Kong films, I am afraid that only Shao Yifu has been the king of hegemony.
Those who are qualified to compete with him for hegemony in the 60s were Cathay Pacific's Lu Yuntao, in the 70s it was Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai, and in the 80s, a new art city emerged, breaking the duel between the two heroes, not only forming a three-legged situation, but even forcing Shaw Brothers and Jiahe to join forces to face the battle.
Dare to compete for hegemony in the industry, there must be a unique model, different from the Shaw Brothers' factory system and Golden Harvest's outsourcing system, what is the new art city, it is a brother class.
It's just that there is always a time when the brothers break up, and the glory is only ten years. If you want to build a solid foundation, you still need a reasonable fit and long-term development goals.
What is the small goal for the time being? Of course, it is to earn him 100 million first. Well, of course, it is to make a few commercial films that are both popular and blockbuster to stabilize the position, rather than being an independent film production company with no name.
"Show you the script and do me a favor. β
"Help you choose a woman?" When Chen Jialuo took out a script from the drawer and handed it over, Liu Haitang had already seen a lot of photos of women in the drawer.
Chen Jialuo said speechlessly: "What is the choice of a woman, is the choice of the heroine!"
Liu Haitang instinctively asked: "Qiu Shuzhen, you won't really spend 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy her as a girlfriend, right? Even if it's a girlfriend, don't you want to praise her even more?"
ββ¦β¦ It also depends on whether it is suitable or not!" Chen Jialuo rolled his eyes and said, "You should read the script first!"
""If there is love in the sky"?"
This movie title, which can be said to be a panacea, did not make Liu Haitang feel good or bad, and he read it carefully after opening the script.
However, the word study may be an overestimation of this script. Almost only after looking at it for a while, Liu Haitang began to look at ten lines. Compared with when he first watched "The Birth of a Word", "Heavenly Love" seemed so naΓ―ve, simple, and completely unattractive.
Especially when he saw the actor die, Liu Haitang was stunned: "The tragedy ends?"
In this period when spoof comedy is in power, few movies will end in tragedy, not long ago it ended in tragedy, the first one Liu Haitang remembered was "Carmen in Mong Kok", this movie seems to be played by Liu Dehua.
A movie mixed with gangsters, love and drag racing, and it ended in tragedy? No wonder Liu Haitang looked at Chen Jialuo with a confused face, this is what you said about a commercial movie that is ready to make money?
"Most of the classics are not the most perfect endings. β
Chen Jialuo said: "Now our Hong Kong movies are too many cookie-cutter, whatever is popular will follow what is filmed, a swarm of people comes, and the good ones make money." Whether it is "The True Color of Heroes", "Prison Storm", or even "The Birth of a Word" that we are filming now, it does not involve too many emotions between men and women. β
""Heavenly Love" is a romance film, gangsters, drag racing and everything is just an embellishment, you don't just think about hero films, gunfights, rivers and lakes, jump out of that thinking. β
can understand what Chen Jialuo means, but Liu Haitang still feels a little risky in his heart. It's just that his personality and his own position make him uncertain about his judgment, especially in front of Chen Jialuo, who is good at creating miracles.
There was almost no hesitation at all, Liu Haitang said: "I'm a photographer, instead of asking me to give you advice on your script, it's better to quickly take out the photos of those beautiful women and pick them out for me." β
