Chapter Twenty-Eight: It Turned Out to Be an Adversary
The person who was teased by Zhong Chuhong at this time was the "ghost horse artist" Chen Baixiang. Because he is famous for his love of Ratchak, he is called "Brother Ratak". Lak Ge (Cantonese), which means very smart. In fact, Chen Baixiang is indeed a very smart person, and he is a gambler with a high EQ, the most powerful is betting on horses, once the most 1,000 Hong Kong dollars bought a 3T in 7 million, and the Sing Tao newspaper also published it. I tried 6 times in a row for 3t in a month.
Seeing Chen Baixiang's actions, Lu Yan chuckled. originally thought that there would be some big differences between actors and movies, but I didn't expect Chen Baixiang to be such a humorous person in reality.
"Ah La, Ah B, Honggu, you come here and prepare!"
Lu Yan saw a person not far away, beckoning and shouting. Although the person who spoke was also a little fat, it was obviously not Wang Jing.
An unscrupulous person like Chen Baixiang took the lead and walked over with a straight face.
"Who's that?" Due to the distance, I put on makeup again. Of course, Lu Yan knew that person was also an actor, but he really couldn't think of anyone in the crew of "The Frog Prince" this time who had the 'status of the rivers and lakes' than Zhong Zhentao.
"Wan Ziliang! You may not be familiar with it, but Michelle has a good relationship with him! Zhong Zhentao smiled and said, "It seems that I have to be busy again, so I can't greet you later." If you're bored, just go. You don't have to say hello to me......"
Zhong Zhentao and Chen Baixiang are of course not afraid of each other, but Wan Ziliang is very serious about things at work. And Wan Ziliang was the chief student of Li's TV station back then, and now he is also at the level of a big brother in TVB.
Lu Yan was slightly surprised, nodded at Zhong Zhentao and said, "Brother B, you can get busy!" I'll go back first, and remember to go back to Taiwan tomorrow! ”
"Okay, I won't send you that Yanzai."

When Lu Yan came out of the Shaw Brothers set, he remembered that he was actually ignored by Chen Baixiang just now. But then he smiled and was relieved, after all, he was a big celebrity at the moment, so how could he greet people casually. Even if it's himself, he won't pull someone on the set to chat for some reason.
However, after coming to the Shaw Brothers set this time, Lu Yan really began to worry a little about himself and Tsui Hark. Looking at the situation, Shaw Brothers' "The Frog Prince" is obviously going to be released in the same time period as "Shanghai Night", and it is another box office confrontation, and the two companies are behind the wrestling of the wrists.
In fact, Lu Yan's opportunity is quite good, you must know that 84 is the beginning of the prime time of Hong Kong films.
In the early 80s, Hong Kong movies can be said to be in flux, and the literary and artistic style of the 70s has long gone, followed by a bunch of monster films and kung fu films without a specific direction, and only the first "junior and younger brother" is a box office movie with a box office of 10 million. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are on par, with 6 and 5 films respectively in the 20 majors. It is worth mentioning that some of the new (harmonious) wave films have begun to raise their heads.
Later, it was Lu Yan's current owner - the rise of Xinyicheng (Golden Princess), which was called the wind and rain in the future, and there were 7 movies on the top 20 in 81, and there were only 7 leading brother Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest was even more attacked before and after, Golden Princess plus some new film companies, only 3 of the top 20 were produced by Golden Harvest.
When the movie "Best Shot" is released, it is no longer just the first movie to exceed 20 million box office. It is also the highest number of admissions since the opening of Hong Kong, with more than 2 million people attending the movie at a backseat ticket price of $12 that year, and the population of Hong Kong at that time was only 5 million, which is absolutely unprecedented.
As Hong Kong cinema enters its golden age, filmmaking is no longer the preserve of big companies, as long as there is creativity and good actors, some reading productions will also be popular.
It is precisely because of the opening of the golden age that more and more talents have begun to devote themselves to filmmaking. Lu Yan was like a sponge, quickly absorbing everything he needed. These things are indeed more applicable to filmmaking in this period than what I learned in school.
Even if Tsui Hark can't be called Lu Yan's 'mentor', he can really afford the word 'leader'.
This Lu Yan's 'leader' was patting the table with Shi Tian in the conference room of Xinyi City at this time.
"It must be released within this week, and dragging it out will only make everyone's curiosity slowly cool." Tsui Hark was already on fire on the set, and after talking to them, he became even more violent.
Huang Baiming saw that Xu Hark was getting more and more angry the more he spoke, and hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round and said: "Old Monster Xu, everyone should say it well." Ah Tian, I also think his words make sense...... "On the issue of the release of the film, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark still have the same idea.
When Shi Tian heard this, he was also unhappy and said, "You two don't worry about the box office?" One director, one producer. In such a hurry to push it out? Now that Golden Harvest's "Fast Food Truck" is being screened, it is a step too late for you to launch a new film to fight the ring. I still say the same thing, delaying until the end of "Food Truck". ”
"According to you, the advertising we made in the early stage was in vain? Keep advertising? You are the false name of my director Tsui Hark! ”
"What are you talking about, who is the boss? Who has the right to decide the case! Shi Tian was also hot-tempered, and stood up with a "snap".
Hearing this, Tsui Hark was originally angry, but it was limited to the debate over the release issue. This will Shi Tian say this, where can he stand it: "Yes, I am just a director, and I am responsible for filming for you." I don't have the right to decide, what else do you bosses tell me to talk about? Can't fall in love! ”
After saying that, Tsui Hark turned around and wanted to leave.
Shi Nansheng just sat and watched them argue with cold eyes. She didn't know how many times she had seen such a scene.
Suddenly, Tsui Hark turned around and opened his mouth and said: "The release of "Shanghai Night" only bears the name of 'film studio', and the success or failure is only the responsibility of our film studio, which will not affect the golden lacquer signboard of the new art city." Profit or loss at your own risk! ”
The people who were made to say something couldn't react at all, and as for Tsui Hark, he had already slammed the door and left.
"Ah Tian, your words are indeed a bit excessive. Everything, not all of us discuss it together. What kind of boss is not the boss......" Mai Jia said in a calm voice, but with no expression on his face: "I think it will be released this week!" The minority obeys the majority! ”
But such a result is no longer relevant to Tsui Hark. Because the next day, he took Lu Yan and a group of leading actors to fly to Taiwan for location shooting.
