Chapter 275: Reusing Lizhi
Kung fu movies were actually very popular in the 80s, but there are countless fashion films that have appeared, all of which are high-quality works, including chasing girls, gangsters, love, etc., all of which are fashion dramas, and everyone will still like them now, these movies have changed the roughness of Hong Kong movies in the 70s, the quality is getting higher and higher, and the filmmakers are also professional, for example, Ye Tian pays great attention to the quality of the movie, the film "Huang Feihong" was taken to Japan to be printed, and finally sold at the box office.
Another "international" image of Hong Kong fashion films in the 80s was to inherit Li Xiaolong's vision in the 70s and bring local productions to the international stage, such as "The Queen's Secret", "Lucky Star" and "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", the three box office champion films, were filmed in France, Japan and Yugoslavia respectively, and the audience saw Hong Kong stars "crisscrossing the world" abroad, which was naturally more psychologically acceptable than costume films, so throughout the 80s, fashion films such as "Hong Kong Japanese films", "Hong Kong Western films" and "Hong Kong Southeast Asian films". Even "Hong Kong-funded Hollywood films" and so on can be said to be endless!
In addition, as two film companies with fashion films as the creative direction: New Arts City and Yongsheng, they are the standard-bearers of the fashion film trend in the 80s - in addition to the "Best Partner" series, the former also started the "hero film" craze for the film industry with "The True Color of Heroes", and the subsequent "Eight Star Annunciation" advertised that Hong Kong-made fashion New Year films have changed from internationalization to family, becoming the precursor of the "Happy Family" series in the 90s; As for the latter, "God of Gamblers" also brought gambling films back to life after years of silence, which had a far-reaching impact.
Now that there is Oriental Entertainment, why bother to let Yongsheng Entertainment Zhuyu be in front, Ye Tian has no intention of being modest with the Xiang brothers, it is worth mentioning that the situation of costume films in the 80s has entered a low ebb, especially after 1982. The only films that can enter the top ten blockbuster movies are often "Shaolin Temple", "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", "Burning the Old Summer Palace", "North and South Shaolin" and other martial arts films or Qing palace films that went to the mainland to shoot, as for the studio-style assembly line operation of Shaw Brothers, it was almost eliminated by the mainstream of the market.
Because of this, fashion literary films that were still unpopular in the 70s were also able to get a share of the commercial pie, such as Liu Dehua's "Running to the Angry Sea" last year, which took the lead in breaking the box office record of literary films with 15 million. Ye Tian still remembers that "Autumn Fairy Tale" made the box office of fashion literary films break through the 25 million box office mark for the first time, and the income of "Rouge Buckle" and "Legal Affair", which were unpopular in terms of plot, also remained above 17 million, and the box office of "Ah Lang's Story" was as high as 30 million!
There are very few literary films that can make money, and the popularity of these films is not inferior to that of commercial flats, and Ye Tian naturally wants to be in the bag.
Xu Ke then analyzed: "In recent years, Hong Kong films have undergone great changes, and many new things have appeared, such as new technologies, equipment, and equipment, and many directors have returned from studying abroad. Bringing back new film concepts, there are also many film practitioners who watch American movies, Japanese movies, or French movies, and then everyone goes together and works together, creating a chemistry that forms a different style than before, and packaging our own stories with new technologies from the outside. ”
Ye Tian praised: "Xu Ke is right. If the company wants to develop, talent is the most important. These filmmakers who have returned from overseas have very advanced ideas, and we need to give priority to recruiting such talents. ”
"Understood!"
At present, Oriental Entertainment does not have a clear personnel manager, and the recruitment of talents is in charge of several veterans such as Zeng Zhiwei, Cen Jianxun, Zhang Yufan, Ju Jueliang, Li Yi, etc., and they take turns to interview.
This situation needs to change. Ye Tian looked around everyone, and finally his eyes stayed on Li Zhi's head, he was still 'his own person' reliable, and he should comfort Li Zhi if he did something like that just now.
"Lizhi!"
"Huh?"
"The personnel department will be handed over to you."
Ye Tian said it very easily. Li Zhi felt that Yali Mountain was big, frowned, and hesitated: "Brother Tian, I'...... I can't. ”
Brother Tian?
When everyone heard Lizhi's name, it was as if they had discovered a new world, and they remembered that Lizhi and Ye Tian were late just now, and some of them looked at each other, revealing tacit expressions.
Ye Tian smiled: "It's okay, I will send someone to assist you." ”
Li Zhi lowered her little head shyly, acquiesced to Ye Tian's arrangement, and faintly felt in her heart that Ye Tian chose her not because of her ability, but because she dedicated her body, which is not good, she was willing just now, and she did not expect to get any compensation.
Ye Tian concluded: "In the future, when the company produces films, it will follow this idea, and other types of films will be ...... It can't be said that all of them are rejected, but the review should be doubly strict, and there will be a maximum of two films per year. ”
The reaction from the top was mixed.
Zeng Zhiwei felt that he had encountered a problem, although he could make any film, he also dabbled in the fashion films he just discussed, and he made "Best Partner", but the film concept imitates the United States 007, which is very different from Hong Kong's local films, he is better at local films, and now Ye Tian wants to carry out reforms and make fashion films, if he wants to get ahead, he needs to find out the essence of fashion films, the problem is that this kind of film has just emerged, and everything has to start from scratch.
Xu Ke nodded again and again, very much in favor of Ye Tian's decision, since returning to the Hong Kong film and television circle, he has been working in this direction, and inadvertently filmed a "Butterfly Change", which was regarded as a new director, and Ye Tian's "Huang Feihong" has a much higher box office than "Disc", and now Ye Tian is a representative of the new wave, and the new directors are happy to go to Oriental Entertainment.
The rest of the people's ideas are not so complicated, Ye Tian is the boss, whatever the boss says, they will do it, Zheng Zeshi is a typical example, shaking his head and pondering the new film.
I didn't expect him to have two brushes, Kong Lei snorted silently, although she didn't want to admit it, but she was really attracted by Ye Tian just now, not a fashion film concept, but by Ye Tian's eloquent and confident appearance.
"That's all for today's meeting, let's disperse." Ye Tian waved his hand, his heart was very relaxed, there are only four monsters left in Xinyi City now, but he is full of talents here, plus his golden finger, it is difficult for Oriental Entertainment to rise or not.
Seeing that Ye Tian didn't leave, Li Zhi also intended to stay, and in the end, there were only two people left in the conference room.
"What's wrong?" Ye Tian was quite surprised, he was satisfied just now, he wouldn't want it again.
Li Zhi showed a shy expression and whispered: "Brother Tian, I am willing, you don't have to be like this." ”
Ye Tian smiled: "You mean the matter of the personnel department?" ”
Li Zhi nodded shyly, and had that kind of relationship with Ye Tian, and the shame in his heart stayed in his heart.
Ye Tian motioned for Lizhi to sit on his lap, enjoying his plump body, and said with a smile: "I believe in you the most in the company, finance and personnel are the two core departments, the finance department has Kong Lei, this beauty is very obedient, I can rest assured, the personnel department can only be handed over to you." ”
Bah!
Kong Lei, who had just turned back, heard Ye Tian comment on her like this, she sighed in her heart and turned her head to leave. (To be continued.) )
