Chapter Fifty-Six: Despised (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Soon, Zhang Shaojie came to the office building of Jiahe Company.

"Sir, how can I help you?" A front desk lady with a few cute freckles on her face asked.

"Oh, can you help me contact the top management of your company?" Zhang Shaojie said without blinking his eyelids, "For example, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang!" ”

When he opened his mouth, he said that he wanted to see Boss Zou and Manager He?

This person's tone is really not small!

Who this young man thinks he is, he really doesn't know who the sky is high!

The front desk lady seemed to feel amused and said, "Boss Zou and Manager He are not just anyone, but if you can explain your intentions, maybe I can help you convey them." ”

Zhang Shaojie was stunned for a moment, but was quickly relieved.

Because he knew that there were so many big stars in Hong Kong at this time, and the most popular Xu Guanwen, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others were all popular by Golden Harvest Company.

In this era, Golden Harvest's bosses Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are almost single-handedly covered figures in the Hong Kong film industry, and ordinary big directors need to make an appointment if they want to meet them.

What's more, there is no name in the film industry?

"Oh, it's all because I didn't make it clear. Hehe, the younger brother Zhang Shaojie is currently a fiction writer, writing manuscripts for "Ming Pao" and Yulang International Company, and the main works he has written are "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". Some time ago, I suddenly became interested in Xu Guanwen's movie. So, I wrote a ghost horse-style movie by myself. You Golden Harvest is the most powerful film company in Hong Kong, and there are 'cold-faced smilers' like Xu Guanwen, so I plan to talk to Boss Zou of Golden Harvest about film-related cooperation! Zhang Shaojie smiled.

Originally, Zhang Shaojie thought that after he reported his name, the other party would have an impression.

However, what made him depressed was that the receptionist was actually a person who didn't read novels, maybe even the latest newspaper news. Zhang Shaojie, a big celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans, reported his home, and the other party didn't even have expressions such as "shocked", "surprised", and "surprised".

The unimpressed expression doesn't seem to be fake!

In this case, Zhang Shaojie didn't want to say anything more to this front desk lady.

A movie script paper wrapped in kraft paper was placed on the table, and Zhang Shaojie floated away.

The front desk lady of Golden Harvest Company was stunned for a long time before hurriedly shouting: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, you haven't left your contact information yet."

――――――

Leave the Golden Harvest set.

Zhang Shaojie went straight to the pier and took a ferry to the Yau Tsim Mong area of the Kowloon Peninsula.

In Hong Kong and Kowloon, Hong Kong Island is more Westernized because of its wealthy and middle-class population. Kowloon and the New Territories, on the other hand, are more representative of Hong Kong's local culture because they have always retained the most Chinese traditions.

Yau Tsim Mong area is a cultural gathering place for ordinary citizens in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

For example, the "Lai Yuen Playground" in Mong Kok not only gathers all kinds of game halls, children's playgrounds, zoos, but also the largest number of theaters and song halls in Hong Kong.

Traditional Chinese Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, Western stage plays, popular songs and dances, you can find a stage to show your skills here.

It can be said that Liyuan is a place that continuously sends talents to the entertainment industry and provides aspiring artists to make a living. Many famous singers and actors in Hong Kong have had the experience of performing in Lai Yuen.

At the same time, there is no shortage of scouts in Liyuan's performance venues to see if they can find some surprises and tap some newcomers with star potential in the song hall.

If, a singer, needs a stage to exercise and grow, then the cabaret is sufficient.

The blowing sea breeze and the faint smell of the sea water, leaning on the ferry cabin, especially feel the peace of mind.

After getting off the boat, Zhang Shaojie vaguely heard someone calling him.

In the crowd, I saw Anita Mui holding one hand very high, and shouted from afar: "Zhang Shaojie, I'm here!" ”

Zhang Shaojie became in a happy mood, rushed over quickly, took Anita Mui's hand, and said, "Where are you going today?" ”

"I don't know, or do you suggest?" was held by Zhang Shaojie's little hand, Anita Mui's little face was red, and she looked a little cute.

Zhang Shaojie thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's go watch the movie, recently, I've been quite interested in movie scripts." Go to the theater and learn about the current movie trends. ”

"Yes."

Anita Mui is not opposed to watching movies, although the future Anita Mui is the eldest sister in the music world, but the current Anita Mui is just a little girl in love.

For a young and wealthy prince like Zhang Shaojie, who knows how to create a romantic prince, it is easy for a girl to obey him.

There is naturally no shortage of cinemas in Mong Kok, and Anita Mui is very familiar with this place, and took Zhang Shaojie to find a cinema that can accommodate more than 1,000 audiences.

The poster posted in front of the door is "Crazy Boss".

The poster is a cartoon that vividly outlines the appearance of the bald guy Mai Jia.

Because Mai Jia's image itself is full of joy, people know that it is a comedy movie just by seeing this poster.

At this time, the ticket price of Hong Kong movies is HK$10 per person for the balcony, HK$8 for the front seat, and HK$6 for the back seat.

Compared to economically developed areas, it is not expensive. However, compared to the movie ticket price in the mainland at this time, which is only 0.1 yuan, it is sky-high.

At the ticket office, I bought two movie tickets for the balcony of the box that were connected together, and in addition, I bought some drinks, melon seeds, biscuits and other snacks with the trend.

The surging crowd poured into the theater, and Anita Mui tightly pulled Zhang Shaojie's next door, afraid of being dispersed by the crowd.

Finally, the two of them found their seats with difficulty, and at this time, Anita Mui breathed a sigh of relief and said with palpitations: "There are many people in the movie theater, they were almost pushed down!" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "It's okay, if you fall, I will protect you at all costs!" ”

Hearing this, Anita Mui lowered her head shyly, opened a bottle of soda, and inhaled it slowly with her habit.

After a while, the lights dimmed, and the words "Struggle Pictures" began to appear on the screen, and the movie began.

To be honest, Zhang Shaojie knew that Struggle Pictures Company was the predecessor of the mythical New Art City.

And "Crazy Boss", according to film history data, this is the debut film of Struggle Company, which achieved a box office of 3.12 million Hong Kong dollars that year, ranking among the top 10 local box office in Hong Kong.

Originally, Zhang Shaojie was still interested in this film, but he was soon scorched by the performance in the play.

Although it is a funny movie, the jokes in it are outrageous and not worth scrutinizing at all.

To put it simply, this is simply a bad movie.

If, in the 90s, after Stephen Chow's classic nonsensical funny movie appeared, a bloody movie of such quality as "Crazy Boss" would definitely be scolded by the audience.

However, at this time, there was little scolding in the theater, but laughter continued.

Even Anita Mui, who was beside her, covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing.

Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but sigh secretly, even such a vulgar and bad movie that could not stand up to scrutiny at all could satisfy the taste of the audience at this time, and it is no wonder that the Hong Kong film industry did not want to make progress later.

Hollywood directors are willing to spend a year, or even years, making a classic.

Hong Kong actors are desperately rushing to the scene, participating in more than 10 film performances a year.

Later, the decline of Hong Kong films was not to a large extent not due to problems in the market, but the impetuous mentality of Hong Kong filmmakers that ruined the market.

"Hey" Anita Mui suddenly nudged him with her hand.

Zhang Shaojie was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I think the movie is funny, why aren't you laughing at all?" She asked, confused.

"Maybe I just recently wrote a movie script in the style of Ghost Horse's funny style, and I read too many jokes and my taste has become very picky. In the same type of movie, if you don't have a serious plot, no classic funny lines, and the actors' performances can't be perfect, then it's hard to make me laugh! Zhang Shaojie said.

Anita Mui was a little expectant: "Wow, a picky person like you, the script you write is definitely better than the script of this movie." I don't know when I'll be able to see your film work on the silver screen. ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "It should be soon!" I'm going to pitch the script to a big company like Golden Harvest, and if they don't want to invest, I'll shoot it myself! Although, I can't afford to make a big production like Hollywood. However, it should be possible to invest millions of dollars and hire some talented comedy directors to shoot a movie that can stand up to scrutiny. ”
