Chapter 92: The Four Great Talents
On the evening of June 15th.
At Tianxing Wharf, Zhang Shaojie, Anita Mui, Shaohuai, Zhang Yimou, Hu Bo, Yishu, Zhang Xiaoxian, Gu Long, Ni Kuang and many others boarded a yacht.
The yacht was borrowed by Hu Bo from his aunt, the press queen, Ms. Hu Xian.
The Hu family is a big family during the Republic of China, "Wanjin Oil", "Tiger Daily" and other famous brands in modern history, all of which were created by Hu Wenhu, in the 50s, Hu Wenhu gave his children and nephews a share of property.
Hu Wenhu is not a bowl of water, but that the children and nephews like more, so they give him more property, which he hates a little, and even only gives a little money that barely makes ends meet.
Hu Xianfen's property, which is neither good nor bad, is a small newspaper "Sing Tao Yuebao".
Over the years, some of the properties inherited by the descendants of the Hu family have been lost, and some are unknown.
However, the originally inconspicuous Hu Xian has developed an inconspicuous small newspaper into a big newspaper in Hong Kong, and she herself has become a famous news queen in Hong Kong!
"Wow, what a big yacht! If you have such a yacht, how much does it cost to maintain it every year? Zhang Xiaoxian asked in surprise.
Hu Bo shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the purchase price of this ship from the shipyard alone has exceeded 10 million pounds, and Britain is no different from those old aristocrats." ”
Anita Mui, Shaohuai, and Zhang Yimou, although they didn't make a sound, were obviously stopped by the yacht.
This is not a small guy, but a 70-meter-long boat, the yacht has 15 crew members, can accommodate 200 passengers, in Hong Kong, a city full of wealthy families, should also be regarded as one of the top yachts!
Gu Long and Ni Kuang, although they are also paper fans, are extremely luxurious.
However, their annual consumption is only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. Such a yacht has a maintenance fee of at least several million a year, no matter how diligent Gu Long and Ni Kuang write, they can't afford it!
Because Zhang Shaojie's friends were able to borrow such a high-end luxury yacht, Gu Long and Ni Kuang couldn't help but look down on Zhang Shaojie!
Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Thanks to you, Hu Shao!" If you hadn't borrowed a boat from Ms. Hu and watched a movie at night, most of you would have been in the soup! ”
Hu Bo pointed to Zhang Shaojie's nose and said with a smile: "Forget it, Shaojie, I can see through your conspiracy!" A movie ticket for a free transfer to a luxury yacht. ”
――――――――――――――――――
Golden Harvest Mong Kok Cinema. It is a large-scale movie screening base with eight theaters.
"Modern Bodyguard" chose to conduct a midnight test screening in a cinema in Mong Kok, also in order to drive the business of many cinemas of the surrounding Golden Harvest Company as soon as possible after it became a word of mouth.
Zhang Shaojie and others came to the theater.
You can see the promotional poster of "Modern Bodyguard" in the distance.
The poster is an exaggerated comedy comic style, and it was also produced by Xu Guanwen.
Xu Guanwen is versatile, not only as a gold medal host of TVB TV, but also as a cartoonist. His funny cartoons, serialized in newspapers in the 60s, were also all the rage.
If Xu Guanwen hadn't been a host, an actor, or a director. Then, he may be like Huang Yulang to join the wave of comic creation in Hong Kong at that time!
Now, Xu Guanwen is a big-name director and star, but his painting ability is still good.
During the period of "Ghost Horse Double Star", Xu Guanwen used his brush to draw a comedy poster, and the publicity effect was very amazing. Since then, most of Xu Guanwen's movie posters have used comedy comics as poster promotion.
At this time, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, two powerful figures of Golden Harvest Company, had already come to the scene in person. And the crew members, under the leadership of the three brothers Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie, are nervously waiting for the test screening.
Although everyone thinks that the quality of "Modern Bodyguard" is very good, this is the opinion of the members of the film crew, not the opinion of film critics and audiences.
Seeing Zhang Shaojie with Gu Long, Ni Kuang, and Yishu, Zou Wenhuai was also surprised!
Especially the ancient dragon!
At this time, Gu Long, not only is the martial arts novel industry the existence of Taishan Beidou, but in the film industry, at least martial arts movies, Gu Long is also a golden signboard.
In the past, after Golden Harvest poached Bruce Lee, Shaw Brothers relied on a large number of ancient dragon dramas, although they were not defeated by Golden Harvest's might, but they also made a lot of money.
Shaw Brothers has made at least dozens of Gulong movies with a box office of more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and Shaw Brothers has trained young directors for more than ten years with Gulong dramas! Therefore, Gu Long's ability cannot be admired by others!
Of course, although Gu Long has a strong ability to write novels and screenplays, he is often like Run Run Shaw and looks away in the film industry.
For example, when Jackie Chan was in Shaw Brothers, he was not very famous, but Gu Long was the gold medal screenwriter of Shaw Brothers.
Jackie Chan wanted to break into the fame, after seeing Gu Long, he took out his meager savings and invited Gu Long to spend a lot of time in Hong Kong, and after having a certain friendship, Jackie Chan begged Gu Long to tailor a martial arts movie script for him.
As a result, Gu Long said: "My script was written for Jiang David and Dillon, not for you." ”
At that time, Jackie Chan was disheartened, drunk in the bathroom, vomiting and crying.
However, now that Jackie Chan has jumped to Golden Harvest Company, he has already made a name for himself, and has been praised by Golden Harvest as a big star second only to Xu Guanwen!
Gu Long's blindness to Jackie Chan is an absolute case of blindness in the Hong Kong film industry!
Of course, if Gu Long admired Jackie Chan and really wrote a script for him, Jackie Chan stayed in Shaw Brothers, and he might not have such a big reputation as he is now
"Shaojie, you really give face, not only did you come by yourself. And brought Gu Long, Yishu, and Ni Kuang, the three major talents, to stage a movie today? Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Hehe, it's not intentional. It's just that Yanfang and I have a total of 12 movie tickets in our hands, and if you don't invite friends to watch, it's a waste! ”
Gu Long, Ni Kuang and others are no strangers to Zou Wenhuai.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zou Wenhuai's words showed sincerity, and he did not let go of the opportunity to win over Gu Long.
Gu Long smiled: "I don't do it for someone else to work." Because, I have already established Baolong Film Company myself! ”
Zou Wenhuai nodded and said with a smile: "Baolong Film Company, I have also heard that after you and Shaw Brothers ended their cooperation last year, you went to Taiwan to open a company. However, it doesn't matter, in addition to my Golden Harvest company's own production, theatrical distribution is also an important business. If there is a good movie in Baolong Company, it can be handed over to us Golden Harvest for distribution! I, Zou Wenhuai, am confident, in the Hong Kong film circle, and my distribution strength should be my first. Not to mention Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places, I also have distribution channels in other Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe and other places."
"Boss Xie Zou, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely cooperate with you!" Gu Long smiled. Many friends and many roads, although Gu Long mainly cooperated with Shaw Brothers and TVB in the past, but when he had the opportunity to cooperate with Golden Harvest, Gu Long didn't mind.
Soon, Zhang Shaojie and others found their own places, sat down, and waited for the movie to be screened.
