Chapter 189: The Emperor of Kung Fu (Subscription !!)
A meeting room at Star Group. X
Several people are fooling ATV's young owner Lin Jianyue to invest in the establishment of a film company.
The leader is called Zhuang Cheng, who used to be the person in charge of the publicity and promotion of the Golden Princess, and also served as the creative director of the Golden Princess, "Truant Gaiden" and "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" are the scripts he wrote, and he can be regarded as a senior insider.
After Princess Jin announced the disbandment, he went to Star Media to do TV variety shows, not long ago Star Media dismantled and sold the Chinese channel of Satellite TV, he felt that the future was bleak, so he took a group of brothers who worked together in the Chinese channel to prepare to make movies.
You need money to make movies, and you need to find someone to spend money, and ATV's young owner Lin Jianyue is undoubtedly a very suitable Kaizi.
Although Lin Jianyue is now famous in Xiangjiang for being a loser and playing female stars, he is not a fool, he asked: "Didn't you say that from last year to this year, the Xiangjiang film market has been sluggish?
Zhuang Cheng flickered: "Mr. Lin, now is a good time to get involved in the film industry...... Today's situation of Hong Kong movies is the same as it was more than ten years ago. Don't look at the downturn in the market, that's because the filmmaking techniques and concepts can't keep up with the audience's needs. Take Zeng Zhiwei's UFO as an example, this company has only been established for more than a year, and two movies ranked first and second at the box office last Christmas, beating all established companies. On the surface, the cinema business in Xiangjiang is not easy to do now, but it is like the stock market bottoming, Mr. Lin, you can buy and establish a large cinema chain at the lowest price. ”
Lin Jianyue said: "But I don't understand the film industry. ”
Zhuang Cheng hit the railway while it was hot: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, as long as the film company is established, you will be responsible for administration and finance, and I will take care of the production and publicity." I was responsible for the publicity and distribution of Princess Jin back then, and I also had the production team, all of whom were old people who had been in the business for many years. In addition, I am also very familiar with Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen, and Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming does not say, Gao Zhisen, I will definitely be able to bring him in as a director to make films. ”
"I'll think about it again. Lin Jianyue was actually tempted.
He came back from studying abroad a few years ago and became the vice president of the group with the favor of his father, but the business did not do well.
Of course, there are reasons why he is ambitious and careless, but also because the internal relationship of the Lin family is very complicated, and he wants to do things because he is held back by all kinds of malice, and some people expect him to be unlucky, such as his eldest brother Lin Jianming
In the family business, he can't use his hands and feet, and he has been looking for new investment areas, and the appearance of Zhuang Cheng just scratched his itch.
Lin Jianyue only thought about it for two days before calling Zhuang Cheng over.
At the end of April, news was suddenly released that Media Asia Film and Television officially announced its establishment, a start-up work, adapted from the musical "I Have a Date with Spring", directed by Gao Zhisen.
In 1994, when Hong Kong films were in decline, a big film company was finally established.
In the last life, Huanya, who was backed by the Lin family, invested in the production of films such as "Casting Names", "Wounded City", and "Assembly Number", and the most famous masterpiece is the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, which can be described as fruitful, becoming one of the two major entertainment empires in Xiangjiang after the "97".
But
That was from the previous life.
……
Fate actually has an unfair side to Li Lianjie.
From the mid-eighties to the end of the eighties, due to various reasons, Li Lianjie almost completely stopped production, and even almost went to open a martial arts gym.
It wasn't until the "Huang Feihong" series in 91 that Li Lianjie became a little popular, breaking the career bottleneck caused by the failure of works such as "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon in the World" at the end of the 80s.
However, the great fame did not give Li Lianjie a corresponding sense of career achievement.
The bondage of the Golden Harvest contract and the coercion of David Luo made Li Lianjie both angry and helpless!
Fortunately, with the help of his friend Cai Ziming, Li Lianjie was finally able to get rid of Jiahe and get rid of the unscrupulous agent Luo David.
But after the new agent Cai Ziming watched "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", he decided to tailor "New Dragon Gate Inn" for Li Lianjie and prepared to enter the international market with this film.
Out again......
After Cai Ziming's death, David Luo found Li Lianjie again, took the opportunity of Li Lianjie's weak body to take revenge, and wanted to confront Bo Gong with Li Lianjie and sue Li Lianjie for breach of contract.
Because Li Lianjie was becoming famous in the circle at that time, he already had a strong box office appeal in Southeast Asia and even the world, and could be used as a cash cow, coupled with some reasons within Golden Harvest, Li Lianjie finally got rid of David Luo completely with the help of Golden Harvest Company's pressure.
Just in time for the imminent return of Xiangjiang, Li Lianjie went north to find a tough backstage in Kyoto, which can be regarded as a real foothold in Xiangjiang and can influence his own fate.
This shows how difficult it is for a mainland star to make a name for himself in Xiangjiang.
Unable to freely control the screen image, Li Lianjie began to reflect a long time ago, where does the future go?
After getting rid of Golden Harvest and David Luo, Li Lianjie established his own film company, Zhengdong Film Company, and soon found professional and powerful partners such as Cui Baozhu, Yang Dengkui, and Cai Yongchang.
Relying on his own solid and handsome kung fu and a strong team, Li Lianjie has successively filmed three films in the past few years: "Fang Shiyu" series, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" and "Jingwu Hero", making Li Lianjie the second only kung fu emperor after Shuang Zhou Cheng in one fell swoop.
Li Lianjie's peak came so quickly, in just two or three years, Li Lianjie quickly won the scenery.
In addition to being addicted to being an actor, Li Lianjie also experienced the success of being a producer and even a boss.
However, Hong Kong films are inevitably weakening overall, from Xiangjiang to Taiwan, and Southeast Asia are all spared, Li Lianjie's painstaking filming of "Jingwu Heroes", although widely acclaimed and praised by Westerners as a textbook of action movies, has only achieved a box office of more than 14 million.
Faced with this situation, Li Lianjie inevitably remembered the path that Cai Ziming planned for him before his death, went west to Hollywood, entered the international market, and became an international superstar.
At the beginning, Cai Ziming actively invited the famous Hollywood action star Stallone to cooperate with Li Lianjie, and was recognized by Stallone's agent, just waiting for specific negotiations.
Pity......
Now, Li Lianjie wants to go west to Hollywood, but he lacks the pedal of the most critical thing to go west.
In the last life, Li Lianjie was recommended by Yuan Heping, who entered Hollywood with "The Matrix", four years later, and played the role of Gu Huaxing, the first-class gangster coach of fists and feet in the action movie "Lethal Weapon 4", and won the Best Villain nomination at the 8th MTV Film Awards for this film, and successfully entered Hollywood.
And in this life, Li Lianjie's pedal for the West Expedition, no, it should be said to be a rocket, it was given to him by Li Qing After Li Qing returned to Xiangjiang from Los Angeles, he found Li Lianjie for the first time......
