Chapter 146: Chaos (Part II)

Almost at the same time, the new art city film company.

Mecca touched her bald head and was silent. Huang Baiming wiped his glasses with a handkerchief, as if there was something on the lenses, and he couldn't finish wiping it off. Xu Ke crossed Erlang's legs, with a cigarette between his fingers, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Shi Tian stood there angrily and said loudly: "The "Best Partner" series and three films have been filmed, and the box office is not as good as one, if it continues, there is only a dead end. ”

The first part of "Best Partner" in 82 grossed 26 million, the second part "Best Partner: The Great Miracle of Magic" reached 23 million, and the third part "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" reached 29 million. However, due to the significant increase in investment, the seemingly highest-grossing "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" is actually the least profitable one, which is why Shi Tian said that "the box office is not as good as one".

Mecca had a calm face: "Then what did you say to shoot?" ”

"There is a script of "Wishing you prosperity" here, I will play it myself, and it will definitely be a big seller." Shi Tian said as he took out a script from his pocket and put it on the table. Xu Ke was closest to him, reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Huang Baiming saw that Mecca and Xu Ke didn't speak, he put on his glasses and said, "I don't approve."

"Why?" Shi Tian was very displeased.

Huang Baiming ignored him and said slowly: "Now the Shaw Brothers are no longer good, but the momentum of Red Star Pictures is strong, and Yang Lin has the ability and funds, so he has to do a big job." Golden Harvest is also a blockbuster attack this year, with several major productions in a row, with Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, the two box office guarantees, who dares to despise it? I think it's better to be on the safe side, invest more, and shoot the "Best Partner" series. In any case, even if it is not profitable, it is necessary to keep the throne of the box office champion. Otherwise, Red Star Pictures will rise strongly or Golden Harvest will go further, and we will be under too much pressure. ”

New Art City has won the annual box office champion for three consecutive years with the "Best Partner" series, which is both an honor and a pressure. If you can continue to maintain this position, then no matter how broken and bad the movies in Xinyicheng are, the box office will not be much worse, and the appeal is there. And vice versa, once this position is lost, the blow to Xinyicheng will be fatal, and I don't know how many times the effort will have to be put in if I want to move back.

Therefore, among the three giants of the new art city, the one with the best brain and the best at doing business is Huang Baiming.

Shi Tian said: "I insist on my opinion, only by taking the initiative to change can we take the initiative." "Actually, Shi Tian has his own abacus. The shares of Xinyicheng, Mai Canada's head, he and Huang Baiming only take a very pitiful little head. You Huang Bai is silent, why don't I Shi Tian say anything? Everyone is the same partner, and no one does less work than anyone else, so why do I take a small head? If he can shoot this "Wishing you prosperity", he is the starring role, and he can not only get paid, but also get more dividends.

"What do you think?" Mecca looked at Xu Ke and asked. How could he not see Shi Tian's thoughts? But he also knows that everyone has selfish intentions, and it's not a big deal. And he also agrees with Shi Tian's point of view, thinking that it is good to change. But he is the boss of Xinyi City, and he has to find ways to balance the thoughts and opinions of all aspects, and he is also a little tired in his heart.

Xu Ke was expressionless: "I have no opinion." ”

Are you okay with that? No opinion is the biggest opinion! Mecca began to subconsciously touch her bald head again, feeling a pain in her head, and she could see that something was not going well. Xu Ke has a strange temper, sometimes shouting when he disagrees, and sometimes he is silent. Mecca knows Xu Ke's spleen too well, and the more fierce he shouts, the more he shouts, it's nothing, it's the silence or coldness that is the most dangerous now.

He realized that he couldn't continue to argue like this, it would only get worse and worse, and that he had to cut through the mess quickly and nip the signs of danger in the cradle. Thinking about this, Mecca said in a deep voice: "I also think that we should change our style and take the initiative to change." It was Ah Tian who played this "Wishing you prosperity", and he also directed it. ”

Mecca thought that it had dealt with it in a timely manner, but it did not know that once the rift had occurred, it could not be repaired to its original appearance. Huang Baiming was dissatisfied, and Xu Ke simply had the idea of going. It's a comedy filmed and filmed, can this bite of rice last a lifetime? Golden Harvest's kung fu films are becoming more and more fierce, and Red Star Pictures has also opened new shootout films, only they are still lying on the credit book and eating the old book.

The era of the end of comedy is coming soon, where should I go?

**********

Compared with the old calculations of Golden Harvest and New Art City, Debao Film Company, which was established a few days earlier than Red Star Pictures, does not have so much thought, nor does it have the ability to think so much. Debao has only one thought: big investment, big production, wholeheartedly do a good job in "Royal Sister", and compete for the Christmas schedule!

In the drama "Royal Senior Sister", Pan Disheng adopted Yang Lin's strategy of filming "Assembly Number", and did not find too many big names, saving all his salary and investing in the production. The starring roles are, of course, Miss "Malaysia" Yang Ziqiong, who has been pursued by Pan Disheng for a long time, and the "authentic ghost girl" American white girl Lo Flo, who has just won the world karate routine group and equipment group championship.

The action design was done by Hong Jinbao and Yuan Kui, as well as the martial artists of the Hong family class.

Pan Disheng is sometimes very persistent, such as pursuing Yang Ziqiong. Bringing people from Malaysia to Hong Kong is money and flowers, and sweet words are persevering. It's still true on film. He recognized that the prospects of Hong Kong films were very broad, so he put all his mind into it, even if he lost to Yang Lin in the competition for the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, Pan Disheng was not discouraged.

And this person is quite ambitious, and he can't get the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, so he was immediately listed under the name of Golden Harvest by Debao Film Company. signed a contract with Golden Harvest, and the film was released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and he would never beg Yang Lin. He believes in his vision and ability, and with the assistance of Shum Kim-ho and Hung Jinbao, he is full of confidence that he can make a name for himself and his career in the Hong Kong film industry.

For a time, the major film companies in Hong Kong worked hard to prepare for the war, hoping to get a big cake at the box office in 85 years and establish their own company's status.

**********

The Hong Kong film industry was stirred up by Yang Lin's out-of-the-box appearance, and people from all walks of life were high-spirited and murderous, vowing to have a real chapter. Yang Lin was hiding in his "Red Star Record", thinking about holding a concert for Mei Yanfang, which also mixed up the water in the Hong Kong music scene.

Given the popularity of Cheung's "Louie Brothers" and the memories of Yang Lin's past life, he concluded that dance music style songs would be popular in the Hong Kong music scene during this period. He searched his stomach and wanted to get a few such songs out, and established Mei Yanfang's status as the "Queen of Dance Music" in one fell swoop. Anyway, this sister is known as the "Queen of Variety", so it's a big deal to come up with a few songs to change her image later. With Mei Yanfang's ability to control various styles of songs, the transformation is effortless, otherwise how can she be called the "Queen of Variety"?

Mei Yanfang sat opposite Yang Lin, looking at him quietly, feeling a little entangled in her heart. To be honest, she didn't know what kind of opinion she should maintain about Yang Lin. She likes Zhou Shilong very much, it is said that her sweetheart was beaten by Yang Lin several times, and she was ruthlessly cheated in the theater, so she should hate Yang Lin. But she also knew that in fact, it was caused by Zhou Shilong at the beginning, and with the incident of Paramount's young daughter, her good impression of Zhou Shilong plummeted. It's just because of the love of the past that she will come to ask Yang Lin, she is such a surname, although she is a woman, she is bold and has clear grievances.

Now looking at Yang Lin frowning two thick eyebrows and thinking hard, looking like a primary school student biting a pencil from time to time, it is a little funny at the same time, but also a deep shock. Does anyone still write songs like this? Just think about it with your head and write a song? Could it be that how did he write all his popular works before, without having to think about it and delete it left and right? It's also scary.

Yang Lin frowned, scratching his hair irritably, feeling that his brain was a little messy, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember. He lit a cigarette, his gaze inadvertently swept over Mei Yanfang's bright eyes, and his heart moved. Mui Yanfang was one of the most popular female singers in Hong Kong in the 80s, but whether it was the previous two albums of "Red Mui Yanfang" or "Flying Stage", they only laid a firm foundation for her to become a superstar, and what really made her a superstar was the "Bad Girl" album. In the album, Mui Yanfang sang a cover of "strnt" by the pop diva Sina Aston in the 80s, which became popular all over Hong Kong.

It's just that this song is a bit cold to him, he only remembers the melody, but he can't remember the lyrics. He picked up the pen and hummed the melody softly to himself as he recalled the lyrics.

"She pressed her body close to me, and kissed me gently from the center of her eyebrows, and the breath in her ears ironed everything about me, uh what?" Yang Lin had a bitter face, he hadn't heard this song a few times. I thought, thought, wrote, wrote, and couldn't write the lyrics completely in an hour. Just fill it in according to your own ideas, and you can write the song well anyway.

After writing this "strnt", Yang Lin wrote another rumba divine comedy "Lambada". This "Lambada" was spread all over the world with rumba dancing back then, and it was definitely a divine comedy. Of course, it was much easier to write this "lambada", and after writing the song, I even filled in two different lyrics, Cantonese and English. After writing it, he directly pushed it in front of Mei Yanfang: "Hurry up and practice it, and if you don't understand it, you can find a master." All you need to do is practice the song, and I'll design you a set of dance steps, costume styling, and stage dance for you when I have the time. After he finished speaking, he got up and planned to rush to the set of "The True Color of Heroes", but when he saw Mei Yanfang looking at him blankly, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?" ”

Mei Yanfang said "ah", looked down at the song, and then looked up at Yang Lin, scratching her head very unladylikely, her face full of shock: "This is the end?" ”

Yang Linqi said: "It's over, what's the matter?" After asking, she reacted, and it was estimated that this sister was frightened by her "creative style" and "creative talent", so she smiled and turned around and left, without explaining.

Only Mei Yanfang was still in shock. (To be continued.) )
