"The best director and the best film were all taken away by "The Year of Flowing Water", don't you have any ideas in your heart?" Wang Jing took the golden statue trophy sent by Lan Naicai before getting into the car and played with it in his hand.

"If you want the box office, don't think about winning awards, otherwise what awards will be awarded, just send which movie has a high box office." Lin Youlun doesn't care very much about whether "Legend of the Night" wins the award or not, Zhong Chuhong wins the Best Actress, and his goal has been achieved.

Wang Jing withdrew his gaze from the trophy and asked curiously: "The media say that the woman on this trophy has a prototype in reality, but I don't think it looks like Miss Zhou, Miss Wang, and Honggu, are there other people outside?" ”

In the early days, there was no fixed trophy design, the trophy of the first ceremony was a simple metal figure, the trophy of the second ceremony was a man holding up the planet, and the trophy of the third ceremony was a blue crystal square. In order to show the dynamics of the characters, the characters have two heads, one in front and one behind, connected by flowing cloud-like lines, but the design plan was rejected in the hands of Lin Youlun, because he thought that although this trophy was artistic, the shape was too weird, and it looked like a "two-headed monster".

Later, this "two-headed monster" once served as a fixed image of the Academy Awards, and was awarded for many consecutive years, until 1990, when it was reshaped, and it was naturally not so troublesome to Lin Youlun's hands, he found a designer from the Hong Kong Artists Alliance, and it took less than a week. The current goddess-shaped trophy with a planet in hand, surrounded by film, and a positive posture full of yearning was designed.

"Do you believe what the media says?"

"Or would you be willing to squeeze a car with me to the awards dinner?" Wang Jing's eyes were originally not big, but they became more and more small when they squinted. Like two glowing black beans.

"This is 'one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, three monks have no water to eat', the reason is very simple, but you don't understand it."

Zhong Chuhong deliberately avoided Zhou Yimin and Wang Guxian, and did not come to Lin Youlun after the award ceremony; And Zhou Yimin and Wang Guxian were the emcees of the award ceremony, and they couldn't get out alone before the end of the dinner, so Lin Youlun became a real "loner".

——

The awards dinner was held at a five-star hotel. Lin Youlun and Wang Jing got out of the car and were walking into the hall, when Wu Yusen trotted behind them to catch up.

"I'll go to the bathroom, you go first, don't wait for me." Wang Jingzhi said that Wu Yusen had something to say to Lin Youlun. Excuse yourself to leave.

Lin Youlun and Wu Yusen walked into the elevator together, and before Wu Yusen could speak, Lin Youlun asked: "Is it a pity that I didn't get the best director and best film today?" ”

Wu Yusen can see it: "This film has brought me a lot, and I didn't win an award, so I can only say that the opportunity has not yet come." ”

"What's next?"

Wu Yusen was about to talk about it. didn't expect Lin Youlun to take the initiative to ask.

The ending of "Legend of the Night" has already explained that there will be a sequel to the film, and Golden Harvest hopes to shoot this movie as soon as possible, but Wu Yusen has other plans in his heart.

"When Xu Ke came to Taiwan to ask me for a drink last year, he had the idea of making a movie together. We had already thought of the specific story, and at that time we said that it would be filmed and produced by a film studio. It doesn't matter who directs me or him. ”

Lin Youlun thought that Wu Yusen should be going to make "that movie", without "Legend of the Night". That movie should be Wu Yusen's turnaround.

"Have you figured out how to convince Golden Harvest?".

Wu Yusen was also worried about this. Before directing "Tales of the Night", he signed a three-year contract with Golden Harvest, although the contract is very lenient and does not stipulate how many films must be made, but as long as he cooperates with other film companies, it is considered a breach of contract. …,

"The film studio has also helped Golden Harvest make movies before, why can't you ask Golden Harvest to invest in this time?"

Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess merged to form Jiayi Cinemas, and for independent production companies such as film studios, there is no need to go to a single cinema as before, and there are more choices. Xu Ke asked Golden Harvest to invest in this movie, and then let Wu Yusen serve as the director, so that it would not be considered a breach of contract.

Wu Yusen didn't expect that the matter that he had been distressed about for so long would be solved by Lin Youlun in a few words, and he admired it very much, but Lin Youlun knew that Wu Yusen and Xu Ke were both fans of the authorities.

The merger of the three major cinema chains is a major reshuffle for all film companies in Hong Kong, and whoever adapts quickly will be able to seize the opportunity.

Wu Yusen came out of the elevator upstairs, and then turned around and entered the elevator downstairs, but Lin Youlun himself did not go to the hall where the banquet was held, but entered the café next to him.

I found a corner where no one was around, and as soon as I ordered a cup of coffee, someone in the hall was already looking for me.

"Mr. Lin is so laid-back, he actually drinks coffee here alone." Mai Danxiong pointed to the sofa opposite, "Can I sit down?" ”。

Lin Youlun nodded, "Mr. Mai also made a special trip here to drink coffee?" ”

Mai Danxiong went straight to the point, "I'm here specifically to find Mr. Lin." ”

In the past, with the Hong Kong film "New. However, due to the lack of mainstream cinema support, these independent companies fell into a vicious circle of funding, and these independent companies quickly declined, and only two companies can survive and develop well.

Mai Danxiong does not have the good luck of Xu Ke, his production company from 1982 "Pretty Girl" to 1984 "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", during which nearly 10 films were launched, all of which were greatly discounted at the box office because they did not receive theatrical support to get the best release schedule. At that time, Mak Danxiong had tried to focus on overseas markets, running around, bringing films to Cannes, Milan and Asian film festivals, but he made good overseas profits.

It's just that although the overseas market can be profitable, Hong Kong films have good sales income in Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Then the independent production company has no theater, and if you want to focus on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, you must deal with big film companies to share profits, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" is the result of the cooperation between Mai Danxiong and Golden Harvest, this film was a box office hit, Mai Danxiong decided to give up the guide tube, and cooperated with the producer to make films with large film companies.

The merger of the three major cinema chains, when many people have not yet reacted, Mai Danxiong has already seen an opportunity from it. Lin Youlun, as the leader and major shareholder of Jiayi Cinema Line, has agreed with Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess that he will not directly set up a film company to compete with these three.

In order to integrate the three major cinema chains, Lin Youlun had to make concessions.

Just because you don't have a film company doesn't mean you can't invest in making movies.

Mai Danxiong saw this and came directly to the door. He knew that this kind of thing was that those who are fast have slow hands, and when other film companies also reacted, the movies in Lin Youlun's hands had already been divided up by Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Princess Jin, and it was estimated that the others would not even be able to drink the soup.

"I remember Mr. Mai said last time that as long as you need it for filming, you can get the aircraft cannon, right?"

Mai Danxiong was stunned when he heard this, he did say such a thing last time, but it was just a joke. He was just about to deny it, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lin Youlun would not mention this matter for no reason, was he hinting at himself...... Countless thoughts flashed through Mai Danxiong's mind in an instant, and he gritted his teeth at the end: "This is indeed what I said, or that sentence, except for the atomic bomb explosion, I can't do it, I can find a way to complete any other big scene!" ”…,

Lin Youlun closed his eyes, and began to search for the memory fragments of that movie in his mind, slowly told the story and sorted it out, and told it orally.

Zhou Wen is a secret member of Interpol who is investigating a case orchestrated by an international criminal organization to steal and transport four missiles. For a long time, Zhou Wen has not explained his true identity to his wife Ah Hui, who is ostensibly a salesman, and the two have a teenage daughter.

Zhou Wen is busy with work and has no time to take care of his family, and the dull life and tedious housework after marriage make Ah Hui bored with her husband, and she begins to mess with Liu Hua, a car dealer, and Liu Hua, who claims to be an Interpol, uses a concocted romantic and exciting story to make Ah Hui's heart shake.

The sensitive Zhou Wen noticed the change in his wife and began to stalk Liu Hua, discovering that he was nothing more than an old car salesman, just taking advantage of some women's desire for excitement to seduce them. After figuring out the details of Liu Hua, Zhou Wen asked his partner Akai for help, and when Ah Hui and Liu Hua went on a date, he pretended to be a special police officer to capture them and debunk Liu Hua's face.

In order to surprise his wife, Zhou Wen pretended that Ah Hui had been involved in the activities of an international criminal organization, and if she wanted to atone for her crimes, she had to be an informant under him, otherwise her husband and daughter would be in danger of their lives, and Ah Hui had to agree.

On one occasion, Zhou Wenhua pretended to be a "Shangfeng" to direct Ah Hui's "operation", and a gang of criminals rushed in and kidnapped them as hostages on a small tropical island in the Philippines. This small island is the base of the criminal organization "Poison Dragon", and it was the leader of this criminal organization, Aziz and his gang, who stole the missiles. Zhou Wen's identity as Interpol was exposed, Azi used a sharp knife against Ah Hui, and forced Zhou Wen to admit to the video that the organization did have a missile, Zhou Wen reluctantly told the facts, Azi made a comment on the camera, shouting that unless Interpol released his brother from prison, he would use missiles to attack a big city every week, and said that the first target of the attack was Hong Kong.

The more Mai Danxiong listened, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, if you really want to make the film with the effect that Lin Youlun said, how much money do you have to spend on it?

Lin Youlun said categorically: "I'm going to spend 100 million Hong Kong dollars to make this movie, and if you want to play, you have to play a big ticket!" ”
