Chapter Ninety-Three: I'm Not Worried
"No way!"
Without waiting for Huang Baiming to finish speaking, Xu Yan's fiery temper was instantly ignited. He Xu is not easy to fool, even if he is the boss of Xinyi City, he can't go back on his word.
Shi Nansheng on the side said calmly: "Master, what are you anxious about." ”
Xu Qi re-lit a cigar and said, "This time, I don't sell anyone's face." "The Legend of Wesley" is a big name, but when it comes to box office appeal, it's not sure who is worse than who!"
"The 'Best Partner' series has made Xu Guanjie one of the highest-grossing actors, and 'The Legend of Wesley' has pushed him out again, and this time as a nominal ......producer," Huang said.
In the movie "The Legend of Wesley", although Xu Wei is no longer in Xinyicheng, he still knows it. Xu Guanjie was originally picked up by them, and he can be regarded as the first real king of music and box office king in the film industry, and his importance to the new art city is self-evident, this is a signboard.
At the beginning, everyone signed this 'God of Songs' with a sky-high price of 200W plus RB's box office dividends, and then made him the king of movie grosses. But in Xu Qing's view, Zhou Yanfa's box office appeal is definitely not inferior to Xu Guanjie now.
The reason why the film will be changed is because "The Legend of Wesley" is directed by Teddy Robin and Sun Hailong, and Teddy Robin starred in person. In addition, Wang Xian, who became popular with "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is no wonder that they have the confidence to say that they want to change the film.
But how did Wang Xian become popular, it was pushed out by Chen Jialuo's "A Chinese Ghost Story". In terms of topicality and film quality, Xu Wei naturally believes in Chen Jialuo's ability.
As for Teddy Luo Bin, it's good to play music, not to mention that Sun Hailong, a puppet director. Now look at Huang Baiming's meaning, this "Wesley Legend" is obviously made up by Mecca and Shi Wu themselves.
Huang Baiming said: "Ah Yan, it's not that I'm fighting for anything, it's just that the bald guys are going too far." If it continues like this, the new art city will be disbanded sooner or later!!"
Scatter?
In fact, isn't the current New Art City already like a plate of loose sand?
The words have been said for this part, and it is not clear where Huang Baiming's intentions are Xu and his wife. It is estimated that he couldn't fight Maijia and Shiwu alone in the 'Struggle Room', so he ran to the film studio to move the rescuers.
However, it is not considered to be a rescuer, but a 'common hatred of the enemy'. It's going to change gears for the movie, where is such a good thing.
……
"Sister Nansheng, where is Brother Mi?"
In the office, Xu Wei was nowhere to be seen, and only Shi Nansheng was working on the documents. Seeing that it was Chen Jialuo, Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "I was dragged by Huang Baiming to fight in Xinyi City." ”
"Huh?" Chen Jialuo heard this, and the second monk couldn't figure it out.
"The three bosses quarreled again, so Brother Bai Ming asked Brother Qi to cheer?"
Hearing Chen Jialuo's understanding, Shi Nansheng chuckled and said, "Yes! Why, now everyone knows that the 'Big Three' of Xinyi City are not in harmony?"
Chen Jialuo said bluntly: "Aren't the newspapers always published, haha." ”
In fact, as Shi Yan and Huang Baiming became more and more dissatisfied with the distribution of interests, the contradictions between the three giants also increased, and later developed into their own affairs.
The other four are not satisfied with their own interests, Xu Wei and his wife have opened up a new world, Teddy Luo Bin has gradually faded out, Zeng Zhiwei has fled, and now that the Seven Monsters of the New Art City have long existed in name only.
During this period, the three giants of the new art city fought their own battles, and Maijia reused Lin Shanling to shoot the "Fengyun" series, and the big sales of violent realistic films made Maijia smile.
Huang Baiming started a family New Year comedy, Gao Zhisen, Du Qifeng and others were reused, and their works were also very popular.
Only Shi Yan set up a creative team by himself, and the filming of films such as "Eight Treasures" was a fiasco, so he had the idea of retreating, and the fortress of Xinyi City would collapse in a few years.
In fact, Chen Jialuo's opportunities should be said to be quite good, whether it is the identity of the director of the New Wave film, or the golden age of the Xiangjiang film industry.
In the early 80s, Xiangjiang movies can be said to be in the green and yellow, and the literary and artistic style of the 70s has long been gone, followed by a bunch of monster films and kung fu movies without a specific direction, and only the first "junior and younger brother" is a box office movie with a box office of 10 million.
Then comedy movies began to rise, such as the originator of chasing girls - "chasing girls" and "ghost horses and smart stars" and other movies began to sell out.
Then the rise of the new art city (Golden Princess) shocked Xiangjiang Films, this film company that is calling for wind and rain in the coming days, in 81 years, there are 7 movies on the top 20, and the leading brother Shaw Brothers has only 7, and Golden Harvest has been attacked before and after, Golden Princess plus some new film companies, only 3 of the top 20 are produced by Golden Harvest.
When the movie "Best Shot" is released, it is no longer just the first movie to exceed 20 million box office. It is also the highest number of admissions since the opening of Hong Kong, with more than 2 million people attending the movie at a backseat ticket price of $12 that year, and the population of Hong Kong at that time was only 5 million, which is absolutely unprecedented.
As Hong Kong cinema enters its golden age, film production is no longer the preserve of big companies, as long as there is creativity and good actors, some independent productions will also be popular.
It is precisely because of the opening of the golden age that more and more talents have begun to devote themselves to filmmaking. Chen Jialuo is like a sponge, quickly absorbing everything he needs. These things are indeed more applicable to the filmmaking of this period than some of my own film knowledge.
"It's a pity that the myth of the film industry will still be broken down after all. ”
Regarding the situation of the new art city, Chen Jialuo sighed with emotion, but he couldn't talk about any sadness. In general, the disintegration of Xinyicheng can be regarded as a complete liberation of filmmakers such as Xu Xian, and many outstanding filmmakers began to emerge with the skills of Xinyicheng.
From Chen Jialuo's personal point of view, the disintegration of New Arts City is also one of the reasons why independent production companies have sprung up. He has the heart to show his strength in Xiangjiang Films, so naturally he can't let a few large companies dominate the market, and the layer will remain the same.
As long as there is change, there will be opportunities.
However, the big changes that Chen Jialuo wants have not yet come, and the small changes are already in front of him.
"Arlo, if "Prison Storm" is postponed, ......"
"Brother Mian is going to Xinyi City to fight for the movie schedule?" No need for Shi Nansheng to say anything, Chen Jialuo has already understood: "Brother Mian is out of the horse, I'm not worried!"
"I'm not worried. ”
Shi Nansheng smiled calmly and said, "Well, your next itinerary, promote it well, and wait for the release at Christmas." ”
