Chapter 119: "Chasing Girls in Hardcover"
The movie mode mentioned by Meng Chao, in fact, Wang Jing has already thought about it, and after watching "The True Colors of Heroes" the night before, he already had such thoughts!
It's just that he is still waiting for investors to cooperate before filming starts, and the name of this movie is "Hardcover Chasing Girls", in which Zhou Yanfa will play a garage boy who likes to speak foul language, working in Feng Qufan's car dealership, and Chen Baixiang and Zeng Zhiwei will also play Zhou Yanfa's colleagues in it.
The main content of the movie is four men chasing girls, which is interspersed with a lot of spoofs of "The True Color of Heroes", which is a very contemporary funny movie.
With Meng Chao's current fame and resources, if Wang Jing really finds an investor to start filming this movie, he will definitely talk to Meng Chao in advance and ask for his consent.
And the reason why he didn't find Meng Chao now is that Wang Jing doesn't want this movie to be made for Shaw Brothers, because Wang Jing feels that Shaw Brothers still treats him a little less arrogantly.
From the perspective of treating employees, Mr. Shao Yifu can be said to be a very mean boss, for example, he was once forced to invite actors to eat because of the show, but after the actors discussed, they felt that the boss was so stingy and would definitely not be willing to give up good things, so he proposed to eat fresh steamed buns made outside.
But Shao Daheng felt that there were still steamed buns sold in his canteen, and they could be ten yuan cheaper, so he firmly disagreed to let the field staff go out to buy them.
In the end, a group of actors were annoyed by his meanness and stinginess and went on strike!
And because of the strike, the director of the Shaw lost thousands of dollars that day!
Therefore, Shao Tycoon has never been a person who treats his subordinates well, which is why many actors from Shaw Brothers and TVB TV stations have jumped ship after becoming popular.
And now Wang Jing has not waited for his investors, but he has waited for Meng Chao.
Wang Jing is a very keen and smart person, saying that a filmmaker is actually more like a businessman, so when he heard Meng Chao's words, he understood that Meng Chao was actually recruiting himself, so Wang Jing hurriedly answered: "Mr. Meng's construction sounds very interesting, why don't you invest, I will be the director, how about we make a movie according to this concept?" ”
Sure enough, it's on the road!
Meng Chao felt that it was really worry-free to cooperate with such a smart person, so he said: "Then let's make up our mind, Brother Jing will be the director of our Genesis Film Company in the future, but you have to write the script of this new movie first, hand it over to the company for review, and after going through the process, there will be no problem with the start of filming, and the director of our company will not only have a salary for filming, but also a share of box office revenue......
Hearing the share of box office revenue, Wang Jing's eyes lit up, and Shao Daheng was the most angry about the sharing of remuneration and movie box office.
Once the movie is a big hit, the director and actors don't have much reward, just like the Monkey King played by Zhang Weijian in the future, the ratings rank first in the whole year, and the advertising fees of TV stations have risen a lot, but Zhang Weijian still gets a dead salary, how can such a mechanism retain people? ……
Meng Chao, like Wang Jing, are both very business-minded filmmakers, especially the two of them are the fastest first-class masters in the circle.
Three days later, Wang Jing's "Hardcover Chasing Girls" had already written the script, and after handing it over to Genesis Film Company, Meng Chao personally reviewed it, and there was basically no problem after a few changes.
The four main characters in the movie are still Zhou Yanfa played by Liu Dingjian, Feng Qufan played by Liu Dingjian, Zeng Zhiwei played by Wu Zhunxiao and Chen Baixiang played by the traffic light, the fight between the four and the ridicule of the movie "The True Color of Heroes" is one of the biggest highlights, and the other highlight is naturally placed on the heroine.
Meng Chao found the original version of Zhang Manyu and signed her five-year film contract, intending to train her step by step to become a future actress, and Zhang Manyu must have been acting in TV series and filming commercials since the Hong Kong sister draft, and she only had the opportunity to receive a movie by chance, so she naturally didn't care that her film contract was signed for five years!
What's more, it was Meng Chao of Genesis Film Company who took the initiative to sign her, which made Zhang Manyu even more excited, so she agreed without thinking too much.
Soon the lineup was already assembled, so "Hardcover Chasing Girls" quickly started filming!
For this movie, Meng Chao has a lot of expectations, after all, in the parallel world, this is a movie that has entered the top ten at the annual box office, and the main success lies in the profound description of the reality of men's pursuit of women, and the ridicule of "The True Color of Heroes" has accumulated a lot of jokes, which can be regarded as a movie that adults will smile at when they watch it.
What's more, in this world, "The True Color of Heroes" has been a greater success at the box office, and now many filmmakers are speculating that the final box office may exceed 200 million, which may be a little stronger than "Shaolin Temple" in previous years.
Therefore, it can be expected that "Hardcover Chasing Girls", which uses "The True Colors of Heroes" as a selling point, will definitely have a good harvest at the box office, which is why Meng Chao immediately found Wang Jing after seeing the box office success of "The True Colors of Heroes".
……
June 27, 1986.
When "The True Color of Heroes" was released nationwide for 17 days, the total box office finally exceeded 100 million!
This made many domestic media report on it, and in the past, Meng Chao took the initiative to find the door and wanted to sign some potential actors and singers, but now these singers and actors have come to the door one by one!
Among the female stars, such as Lin Qingxia , Zhang Manyu , Zhong Chuhong , Zhao Yazhi , Zheng Yuling , Lin Yilian , Hu Huizhong , Wu Junru ......
There are more male stars, Alan Tam, Zhong Zhentao, Wan Ziliang, Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun, Ren Dahua, Liu Dehua, Huang Qiujiao, Li Lianjie......
And when they signed the film contract to Meng Chao, they were all very happy, and some of them were even willing to not only sign the head contract, but give the priority of the film for three to five consecutive years to Genesis Film Company, the reason is that Meng Chao's movies can be popular!
You must know that a "True Colors of Heroes" made the former Shaw Brothers superstar Dillon who has gradually gone downhill rebound again, and major film companies have extended olive branches, and Zhang Guorong has also created his own status in the film industry with this movie, thus becoming a model of a successful singer who sings and acts, as for Xiao Ma Ge's role as Zhou Runfa, he is already the hottest movie actor in China, and was nominated for the Best Actor at the 3rd Chinese Film Golden Bull Awards this year!
At present, the call for supporting Zhou Runfa to win the actor can be said to be the highest, and many netizens even said that if this year's actor is not Zhou Runfa, he will take to the streets to demonstrate!
