Chapter 202: Starry Sky Cinema

202

The soundtrack of the movie "Those Years", after more than two weeks of recording, was finally completed.

Among them, Fang Jianhui and Wang Zuxian's "Ping Ju" sung by them took the longest time, and this song, which only had eight sentences back and forth, took two days.

Wang Zuxian knows that it is easier said than done, watching Teresa Teng sing easily and happily, only when it is his turn to know how difficult it is, either it is stuck here, or the breath there can't keep up. I can't help but sigh, the difference between singing karaoke and recording in the studio is really big.

Fortunately, Fang Jianhui spoiled her throughout the whole process, and never said anything heavy about her, usually as: "You sang very well just now, can we try to sing like this?", "I think the effect should be better if you sing like that." Often Wang Zuxian himself felt embarrassed, and Fang Jianhui was still spoiled: "It's okay, let's do it again." ”

As long as she makes a little progress, Fang Jianhui always sends encouragement in time, and the prize is either a kiss or a hug, full of warmth and fun.

When Fang Jianhui gave her a thumbs up after it was finally done, Wang Zuxian was extremely excited, regardless of the presence of the staff, rushed into his arms, and kissed him wetly.

It is difficult to deal with Wang Zuxian, when Fang Jianhui sings by himself, it is much simpler, his singing skills are full marks, his understanding and interpretation of the song are superb, as long as other departments do not make mistakes, he can record a song in just an hour.

On August 21, Angel Cinema's "Family Portrait" ended the hall screening and was transferred to multiple halls to continue the screening, which was taken over by "The Frog Prince".

At this time, the advantages of Angel Cinema Line after the renovation of the multi-hall are fully displayed, the hall is the strong film "The Frog Prince", and the small hall is "Family Portrait" and "Pretty Woman", which can not only meet the viewing needs of different groups of people, but also fully exert the box office potential of the films that should have been offline.

On the other hand, Golden Harvest Cinemas, the competitor of Angel Cinemas, is in difficulty at this time, and wants to take "Food Truck" offline, but it is clear that there are still many people watching it in the evening, if it is not offline, the attendance rate is not high, and it is not appropriate to give up and stay, which is really a dilemma.

By the time it was completely offline, the box office of "Family Portrait" reached 25 million Hong Kong dollars, beating "Food Truck" released at the same time, temporarily ranking third at the annual box office, second only to the Chinese New Year film "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" and Fang Jianhui's "Mr. Zombie".

On September 1, Shaw Brothers held a press conference to officially announce that from now on, the production business will be suspended indefinitely. In addition, it also reached an agreement with Angel Holdings to transfer its Shaw Brothers Cinemas Line to Angel Holdings. Subsequently, Angel Holdings issued a statement confirming the fact of the transfer.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion in Xiangjiang was in an uproar: first, it was a sigh and a sigh that the once incomparably brilliant Shaw Brothers had come to this step, and for a while, various articles in newspapers and magazines to commemorate and commemorate the Shaw Brothers appeared in endlessly.

Second, there is a question, didn't Shao Lao have a hard time with Fang Gongzi, and how did he get such a big deal? Because neither side disclosed the behind-the-scenes information of the transaction, which attracted all kinds of speculation from the media.

In the end, according to authoritative information sources, it was said that Fang Gongzi and Shao Lao met by chance on the plane, and such a large deal was negotiated by the two of them in more than an hour. also revealed the transaction amount, saying that it was about 320 million Hong Kong dollars, which is conclusive and unbelievable.

The news attracted another round of praise from everyone, Fang Gongzi did not care about the previous suspicions, and when the opponent was in trouble, he did not take advantage of the danger of others, but pulled a hand, what a measure, what a courage!

The touting comments from the outside world are irrelevant, the top priority is to find a general manager for the new cinema line, Wu Diming recommended a young man named Huang Shi to Fang Jianhui, this person is less than 30 years old, returned from studying in the United States, and previously worked as the manager of the planning department of Angel Cinema, and did an excellent job.

Fang Jianhui summoned Huang Shi and talked to him in person.

Huang Shi wore black-rimmed glasses, a little fat, and his appearance was not good, Fang Jianhui secretly swept it with his eyes, and found that his profession was 'entrepreneur', he had a 'commercial real estate' skill, and his ability value was as high as 93, he was an extremely rare talent, before Huang Shi spoke, Fang Jianhui had already identified him in his heart.

Huang Shi talked about his idea of theater management, Fang Jianhui nodded frequently, the dark channel system was as wise as a torch, this person really had a level.

"Boss. After talking about the idea, Huang Shi actually made a request to Fang Jianhui: "If I manage the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line..."

Fang Jianhui interrupted him: "It's not called Shaw Cinemas now, it's called Starry Sky Cinemas." ”

Huang Shi immediately changed his words: "If I am in charge of the Starry Sky Cinema Line, I hope you can agree to my two requests." ”

"You say. ”

"First, to give me complete autonomy, as long as it does not violate the guidelines of the theater, it is up to me to decide what films to put in the theater, when to show it, how to promote it, etc., please try not to interfere with you and Mr. Wu. ”

"Yes. Fang Jianhui responded, and Wu Diming also nodded.

"Second, because you own both Angel Cinemas and Starry Sky Cinemas (Anle mainly screens foreign films), there is a competitive relationship between the two, and in some important schedules, there will even be fierce competition, please don't deliberately suppress Starry Sky Cinemas. ”

"Yes. ”

Fang Jianhui is very generous, Angel Cinema mainly screens films produced by Angel Pictures and affiliated companies, with the blessing of his insight, the quality is guaranteed, and Star Cinema mainly undertakes films from independent producers, if this can't beat his own Star Cinema, if he has to rely on human means to suppress it, he doesn't have such a thick skin.

Huang Shi dared to make two requests, but he didn't expect Fang Jianhui to agree without hesitation, which made him full of confidence in the development of the Star Cinema Line.

"I don't just agree to your request. Talent is rare, Fang Jianhui said: "I can also give you 5% of the dry shares of Star Cinema Line, in addition to the annual salary, you can get a profit share according to the shares every year." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Huang Shi was overjoyed.

After finishing the soundtrack of the movie "Those Years", Fang Jianhui had nothing to do, and after a few days of idleness, he decided to inspect the various crews that were being filmed.

Angel Pictures is currently shooting movies such as McDonald's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Chen Jiashang's "Fate" and Liu Zhengwei's "Zombie Taoist".

went to see the crew of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" first, Fang Jianhui got out of the car and found that the crew was chaotic, as if someone was fighting.

What is the situation?Fang Jianhui frowned and gradually approached.

"Mr. Fang is here!" someone shouted, and the chaotic crowd immediately quieted down.

"Mr. Fang!" Mai Dangxiong greeted him, followed by Chen Xinjian, Xiao Ruoyuan and others.

Fang Jianhui shook hands with everyone and said hello, and then asked, "What was the mess just now?"

Well, several people looked at each other with a little embarrassment. Fang Jianhui swept his eyes and found that there was a fat man over there who was hugged by several people and couldn't move, it was estimated that it should be related to this person.

Fang Jianhui approached the fat man, motioned for a few people to let go of him, and asked, "Are you making trouble?"

"Yes!" replied the fat man.

By the way, Fang Jianhui remembered that this person's name was Shen Wei, and he was an actor in the crew: "Why?"

"Because this madman is going to burn me!" Shen Wei was still angry, pointing at McDonald Bear and yelling.

"Burn you?" Fang Jianhui looked at McDonald Bear strangely.

"In a scene just now, he told me to shoot a shot of me being tied up in the car, but he..."Shen Wei said angrily: "After tying me up in the car, he actually asked someone to pour gasoline on the outside of the car and ignite it, almost burning me to death!"

Ah!?Fang Jianhui Khan, there is still this kind of operation?Lao Mai, you are too crazy, no wonder people want to fight with you.

The madness of McDonald's bear, Fang Jianhui has long heard of it, as early as when ATV's predecessor - Li's TV station, he has a bad record, when he filmed the drama "Big Husband", he didn't go to the police station to apply, he filmed the scene of the actor driving on the street covered in blood, and even more absolutely, he dared to drive directly to the Mong Kok Police Station to shoot a scene where the actor died in the parking lot and honked his horn. At that time, McDonald's team walked around the police station for half an hour to shoot, and the police officers present didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't figure out whether the gang had applied, so they were completely overwhelmed and stupidly slipped out of the back door.

During the filming of "Ten Strange Cases", he threw a child into the pool to make him struggle and almost drowned the child; in order to film "Flying Corpse on a Foggy Night", when the train was coming, the lights suddenly turned on and threw the "corpse" over, which frightened the driver to brake sharply and the train almost derailed; in "Big Husband", Wang Zhong jumped down from the crane, causing the alarm bell of Ocean Park to ring for a long time.

Fang Jianhui only thought that the rumors should be exaggerated before, but when he saw it today, it was really better.

McDonald Bear is not only ATV's general, but also his important partner in movies, Fang Jianhui is not good at criticizing him in public, so he comforted Shen Wei and said: "This is not right with Director Mai, I apologize to you on his behalf, you dissipate your anger, let's see how the filming goes." ”

Shen Wei chased McDonald Bear just now, but it was just a stress reaction after being too frightened, in fact, he also knew that it was impossible to do anything to McDonald's Bear, just vent it. What kind of status does Fang Jianhui have, as soon as he said this, Shen Wei immediately got off the donkey, and the matter was revealed without mentioning it.

Several people came to the camera and watched the footage just taken, only to see that in the shot, Shen Wei, who was not mentally prepared, was frightened on the spot, and his panicked expression was completely real.

McDonald Bear is crazy, Fang Jianhui has to admit that this shot is very real and the effect is very good. He patted Shen Wei on the shoulder and persuaded: "Your performance is very real and exciting, in my opinion, you are likely to get Best Supporting Actor at next year's Academy Awards." ”

Everyone laughed together, and Shen Wei couldn't cry or laugh.
