Chapter 103: Jackie Chan

Hong Kong Kowloon Rainbow Village Axe Hill Road Taili Industrial Xia, the newly opened Hong Kong DreamWorks Film Company, Leung Kam-ling is sitting in the conference room for a meeting.

I saw that sitting on his left was Mai Xiaojia, the general manager of DreamWorks, Hong Jiabao's class owner Hong Jinbao, Hong Jinbao's row was followed by Yuan Xiaotian (Yuan Heping's father), Qian Yuesheng of the Qian family's class, Huang Baiming, the company's only screenwriter, and on the right was the director Wu Yusen, the new directors Lan Naicai and Yuan Heping, and Chen Gangsheng (Cheng Xiaolong) and Yuan Xiaobiao, who had just returned from Australia.

Mai Xiaojia worked as an assistant director in the United States to shoot three American films such as "007 The Man with the Golden Gun", which is a bit well-known, and founded Garbo Film Company in Hong Kong with Samin Hung 2 years ago, and made several street movies, which are on the verge of bankruptcy. Liang Jinling took advantage of his bad luck and asked Hong Jinbao to invite him over to be the general manager of DreamWorks.

In later generations, many people said that the new art city collapsed because the seven monsters of the new art city were divided for money, to be honest, Liang Jinling was very disdainful of Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Xiaoke, Huang Baiming, yes, they are talents when making movies, and they are the most diligent in their work, but when it comes to managing companies, they know a bird.

The new art city film company managed by Mai Xiaojia has a profit of hundreds of millions, and if it were not for the major shareholder Jin Princess to withdraw funds and the high-level split, it is estimated that it would not have gone bankrupt.

Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Xiaoke, Huang Baiming's movies are all half-dead in the 21st century, Xu Xiaoke has made so many classic movies, all of them are loss-making, and he is still a poor director in the 21st century.

However, Liang Jinling didn't dare to let Mai Xiaojia interfere in the filming of the movie, this guy can manage the company, and he can act, but there are many people on the street when filming.

As for the screenwriter Huang Baiming, he was invited by Liang Jinling from Hong Kong TVB, Huang Baiming told ghost stories and wrote scripts on TVB, and Zheng Shaoqi and Wang Mingquan filmed "Folk Legends: The Story of the Purple Hairpin" was written by Huang Baiming.

And Chen Gangsheng was sent by Liang Jinling to find someone to find someone to find back from Australia, this year Xintiandi Company was established, signed Chen Gangsheng, and arranged for him to shoot one or two films, namely "Guangdong Little Tiger" and "Northern Kung Fu", but the box office was dismal, Chen Gangsheng couldn't stand the blow and went to Australia to work as a chef with his father.

A year later, Cheng Xiaolong was brought back to Hong Kong from Australia by Chen Ziqiang, joined Luo Wei's film company, changed his name to Chen Yuanlong, and went to Taiwan to invite Gu Xiaolong to write the script, made a few kung fu films, and still hit the street, until 1978, when Wu Siyuan borrowed it from Luo Wei, and cooperated with Yuan Heping to shoot "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist" to become famous in one fell swoop, and became popular all over Asia.

Liang Jinling remembered a breach of contract by Cheng Xiaolong in the later world, that is, after Cheng Xiaolong became an Asian superstar in 1979, Luo Wei, a door-slamming ghost, refused to give Cheng Xiaolong a raise, you must know that Cheng Xiaolong earned more than 10 million yuan for him at that time, and the salary was still more than 1,000 yuan, and later Cheng Xiaolong couldn't stand the temptation, and was poached by Golden Harvest's 500,000 high-tech to propose to his mentor Luo Wei to withdraw from the company.

However, Luo Wei changed the liquidated damages on the contract from 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the two sides started a lawsuit.

Luo Wei used black, social, and social forces to kidnap Cheng Xiaolong in a fit of anger, and frightened the actress Mi Xue, who was pursued by Cheng Xiaolong at that time, and the kidnapping incident caused a sensation in Asia. In the end, it was not easy for Jiahe to settle the matter, and Cheng Xiaolong was able to get out of trouble.

Since then, Luo Wei has continued to make movies to satirize Cheng Xiaolong for lying and using a stand-in (in the 80s, Cheng Xiaolong publicly said that he never used a stand-in, and only admitted that Li Haiqing was his stand-in after the 21st century), and the Ah Long played by Zhang Xueyou is the city dragon.

Later, Luo Wei's son Luo Dawei brought his father Li Lianjie under Luo Wei Film Company to Golden Harvest and cooperated with Xu Xiaoke Film Studio to shoot the Huang Feihong series.

Li Xiaolong's Jeet Kune Do, Cheng Xiaolong's actions that cannot be replicated, Zhou Yanfa's heroic temperament, Li Lianjie's elegant skills, Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy, these labels that no one can copy or imitate, are synonymous with Hong Kong movies, how can Leung Jinling, a shameless traverser, let go of these superstars.

Liang Jinling couldn't help but spoof, if Cheng Xiaolong is made popular by me, and Cheng Xiaolong's stage name is changed by me, then Cheng Xiaolong will not call me a teacher when he sees him in the future, haha, you help me work, do you dare to rob me of a woman by your boss? It's better to act than to be moved, this guy just opened a film company, so he asked Hong Jinbao to send someone to Australia to invite Chen Gangsheng back, and also helped him take a stage name Cheng Xiaolong.

"Okay, guys, you're all the most important executives and talents at our DreamWorks, and we've been in existence for a while, and we've got all the equipment and people in front of and behind the scenes, and it's time to start shooting movies. Screenwriter Huang, did you write a good script? Liang Jinling turned his head and asked Huang Baiming.

"Boss, I'll write it, please take a look." Huang Baiming smiled and handed over a script to Liang Jinling.

Liang Jinling took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written with two big characters "Vortex", five minutes later, Liang Jinling threw away the script, it seems that it is a mistake to ask Huang Baiming, a literary screenwriter, should find the little fat man Wang Xiaojing or the ghost Huang Bingyao. Don't look at Huang Baiming, who has acted in a lot of comedy movies, in fact, he is a literary young man who specializes in writing literary films.

If it is classic movies such as "The Wrong Car", "Best Partner", "Why Have Me" and "The Story of Ah Lang", Liang Jinling will definitely make it, "Vortex", a literary film that hits the street, Liang Jinling has never heard of it, it seems that he can't count on Huang Baiming.

"Our company has just started a business, and we can't take the risk of making literary films, Huang wrote this screenplay, and we will have the opportunity to shoot it again in the future."

Liang Jinling took out a few scripts from his briefcase and distributed them to a few people present, and the script that Hong Jinbao took was called "Ghost Fights Ghost". Ghost Fight is Hong Kong's first psychedelic kung fu film, which was originally the first film of Sammo Hung's Baohe Film Company, but it was only released in 1981.

Hong Jinbao saw that the script read: The coachman Zhang Daring broke his wife Hongxing out of the wall, and the adulterer was afraid that the scandal would leak and killed Zhang's wife and blamed Zhang Daring, and even hired a Maoshan mage to deal with Zhang. The mage's junior brother was dissatisfied with the same brother casting spells to harm others, so he stepped forward to rescue Zhang from danger, and a wonderful and funny fighting method began.

The action scenes in it can't be expressed, but Liang Jinling's guy directly drew the ghost-fighting action scenes in the mobile phone into a doll picture (comic).

Hong Jinbao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the protagonist was himself, and thanked Liang Jinling with a smile: "Thank you, Lingzai, give me a chance, and your doll is so good, you don't want to be an action director, it's a waste of talent." ”

You must know that at this time, Hong Kong's first comedy kung fu film, Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu have not yet been filmed, Hong Jinbao has not been the protagonist, and he is not happy to be the protagonist this time.

When he saw that the investment in this drama was as high as 3 million Hong Kong dollars, Hong Jinbao was shocked: "Boss, the investment is so big, can you recover the cost?" ”

"Absolutely." Liang Jinling muttered to himself: In the later generations, this drama with small investment and simple filming won 5.7 million box office in Hong Kong alone, but the overseas distributor Hong Jinbao was cheated by Zou Wenhuai, and only bought one dollar, which became the source of the split between Hong Jinbao and Golden Harvest.

"Sanmao, this time your Hong family class has to be a little stronger, and strive to shoot the ghosts and ghosts before the Chinese New Year." Liang Jinling gave Hong Jin a task.

"Okay, no problem." Hong Jinbao patted his chest, in this era, Hong Kong people are filming very fast, and they can shoot a drama in 30-40 days.

Hong Jinbao has a wide range of people and pulls his friends over to form a Hong family class, and Liang Jinling knows Yuan Xiaobiao, Yuan Hao, Yuan Kui and other members of the Seven Little Blessings, as well as Lin Zhengying, Wuma, Taibao, Zhong Fa, Liu Guanwei, Huang Xiaoying, Qian Shengwei and so on.

And the script that Yuan Heping and his son got was Drunken Boxing, the famous work of Cheng Xiaolong. Because the boss designated Cheng Xiaolong to be the male protagonist and Yuan Jiaban to film, Yuan Heping pulled Cheng Xiaolong over and watched the script together.

The members of the Yuan family class and the members of the Cheng Xiaolong and Hong family classes themselves knew each other, and some of them were Yu Zhanyuan's apprentices, such as Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren, Qi Xiaofu, etc.

The current head of the Yuan family class is Yuan Xiaotian (that is, the Su beggar in the drunken boxing), and there are 6 of his sons in the Yuan family's class, including Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren (the one who takes the secret of the god palm in Kung Fu), etc., amazing, can you give birth to 6, he also has a daughter.

Cheng Xiaolong and Yuan Heping couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the storyboard script and the doll picture involving the action scene, and finally couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the eight moves of Drunken Boxing, the boss is really a genius, such a powerful move can be created by him.

Eight tricks of drunken boxing, the first move: Lu Dongbin: drunk and lifting the pot to force Qianjun, the second move: Uncle Cao Guo's immortal toast and lock the throat buckle, the third move: Han Xiangzi grabbed his wrist and hit the chest drunk, the fourth move: He Xiangu bounced his waist and offered a drunken step, the fifth move: Lan Cai and Shan Ti toasted to stop the waist and break, the sixth move: Tie Guan Li Xuan's elbow Teng was drunk and was really drunk, the seventh move: Zhang Guolao was drunk and threw the cup and kicked it in a row, and the eighth move: Han Zhongli fell and hugged the top of his heart.

Cheng Xiaolong couldn't help but ask when he saw He Xiangu jumping around drunk, "Boss, this is too sissy, can you change it." ”

Liang Jinling wondered that this trick seemed to have been invented by your city Xiaolong himself in later generations, shook his head and said, "If you don't like it, you can not shoot it." ”

Cheng Xiaolong was terrified when he heard this, and quickly shook his head and responded: "Shoot, I'll shoot." ”

Yuan He, who was on the side, commented: "Boss, you are really a genius, you draw action scenes into comics, and you are definitely the first person in history." Liang Jinling thought to himself: Of course, I have read a lot of time-traveling novels.

And the script that Wu Yusen was holding was called "Fa Qian Han", and a trace of doubt surged in his mind, how could this script be so similar to the play I had in mind. Let's take a look at the heroes and heroines of this play, who are designated as Xu Xiying, Wu Yaohan, and Zhao Yuzhi.

Wu Yusen threw away the script and asked the boss: "This Xu Yiying, Wu Yaohan, and Zhao Yuzhi are not from our company." ”

"Didn't you work with them when you were half-a pound or two, why don't you just invite them to come over and film. I have already said hello to Zhao Yuzhi and Xu Xiying. Liang Jinling said secretly: Wait until Zhao Yuzhi finishes filming the new hundred ladies and pull her into the film circle.

"Oh." Since the boss has helped him build a good relationship, Wu Yusen has nothing else to say.

And the script in the hand of the mouse boy Lan Naicai is called "Curse", and he is watching it with relish. This "Curse" is the same as "Drunken Fist", which is a weapon for Liang Jinling to attack the Japanese film market.

Seeing that everyone had a script in his hand, Mai Xiaojia began to speak to express his savings, "Boss, have you noticed that the employees of our company are all men, should we sign some actresses to be the heroines?" ”

"yes, how did I forget." Liang Jinling slapped his forehead, and pulled Lin Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng, Guan Zhilin, and Xue Bixia in, and it was not enough to let Pan Yingzi and them come over to make a cameo.

But Guan Zhilin and Xue Bixia came to make some films, and with that, Liang Jinling remembered a famous thriller "Orphan Resentment" in later generations.
