Yang Lin and Wang Jie did not sign a contract. He still wants Wang Jie to move forward step by step in the "The Voice of Chinese" competition, bringing ratings to ATV, and also bringing higher popularity to himself. Regarding the matter of other people's "interception", Yang Lin thought about it carefully, and he was not too worried.

Who else in Hong Kong can be more famous than himself? Can you be more talented than your own "creation"? Now that he has his own commitment, presumably Wang Jie will not be willing to go far and risk offending himself to sign a contract with another record company.

Of course, Yang Lin knew that Wang Jie now had a low income, poor living conditions, and a daughter to bring, so he privately lent him a sum of money to improve his life, at least, he couldn't lose his children.

When he took the money that Yang Lin lent him, Wang Jie was in tears, he couldn't be moved, and said on the spot: "As long as Yang Lin is willing to sign him, it is someone else who gives him an earth, and he will never agree." ”

Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand, asking him to prepare and continue to compete in the "The Voice of Chinese" competition. With Wang Jie's strength, no matter how unexpected it is, this year's top three will not be able to run. Unless, Jay Chou was born and Liu Huan participated in the war. Liu Huan is now, the song "Plainclothes Policeman" has been sung all over the country, and there is no need to participate in such a talent show. As for Jay Chou, I don't know if you graduated from elementary school?

"What's the matter, can't you talk about it on the phone? You have to make a trip. ”

Zhou Runfa walked in, walked with the wind, sat on the edge of the poplar forest, picked up a pot of tea, tested the water temperature, and dried it up in one go.

Yang Lin smiled and handed over a cigarette and lit it for Zhou Runfa.

Zhou Yanfa took a hard breath. Slowly spit it out, squinting his eyes, looking at Yang Lin. He smiled and said, "It's so attentive, it's not in line with Boss Yang's style, what's the matter, do you need my help?" But the ugly words come first, and the matter of delaying time is forgotten. I have everything now, I just don't have time. ”

Now the week is leaping. Since a "True Colors of Heroes" has been a big hit, and he has won the title of actor, it is really a thousand-year-old turtle who has turned over. Salaries skyrocketed. The film appointments are one after another, often opening several plays at the same time, and there is no time to sleep.

Red and purple.

Yang Lin suddenly glared. Pretending to be displeased: "What is the grandeur of a big boss?" In front of you. Brother, when did I brush the style? We are brothers in distress, and we are speaking of true feelings. I think that at the beginning, when filming "The True Color of Heroes", the whole of Hong Kong said that I was a fool, and I invested so much money, and sooner or later I would be in vain. What about you? Everyone calls you 'poison hair', and no one asks you to film. However, it's just the two of us. A fool, a poison. The result? Box office record, actor title, isn't it easy to catch? ”

"Hey—"

Zhou Runfa rubbed his forehead and looked bitter: "Okay, don't turn over the yellow calendar, I, Zhou Runfa, remember your love." If there is anything bad, you can say it directly, I will do it; If it can't be done, I'll find a way to do it, OK? I knew that it would be okay for you kid to look for me! ”

Who is Yang Lin? Now in Hong Kong, it is an exaggeration to say that one hand covers the sky. But if you want to say it, it's really not blowing water, who can not give him face? Strength, prestige, there is no shortage of the same. The only thing missing is qualifications. Qualifications are a thing that depends on a few years, and it comes naturally.

What good thing can he do when he asks for someone? The more likely is to make a film. To say that it is really cool to follow Yang Lin to make a film. But now, Zhou Yunfa has multiple crews, and there are countless scripts, waiting in line. After taking Yang Lin's play, what should others do? You can't make friends with a single Yang Lin and offend the whole of Hong Kong, right?

But as soon as Yang Lin came up, he turned over the old yellow calendar, and Zhou Yanfa knew that this time, I was afraid that he would not be able to shirk it. Yang Lin is not a person who brings Entu to report, and he will not deliberately mention these things, so that you can't shirk it. When he says this, he is telling you: stop pushing, you can't push it off!

Friendship is here, and it can't be pushed. What's more, Yang Lin doesn't bring grace to repay, you can't know how to repay it? Without Yang Lin, without "The True Color of Heroes", you Zhou Runfa, I don't know what it is like now.

"Hehe," Yang Lin smiled proudly: "Come on, what's the pity?" I, Yang Lin, when did I lose my brother? I'm looking for you, that's your luck, it proves that there are only one actors in Hong Kong, and I'm only optimistic about you. How about it, do you have a sense of accomplishment? ”

Zhou Yanfa smiled bitterly: "The sense of accomplishment of fart." Let's put it bluntly, what film? ”

Yang Lin gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sure enough, Bing Xue is smart, Lan Xinhui is good!" ”

Zhou Yanfa couldn't cry or laugh, is this a compliment? It's all a girl. took the script handed over by Yang Lin and took a look: "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"? ”

Yang Lin nodded and motioned for Zhou Yunfa to take a closer look.

In the United States, Yang Lin pondered for a long time, but he didn't find that he was suitable for the actor of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". The male protagonist of this play, who is between thirty and forty years old, has a sense of vicissitudes and wants to be atmospheric, giving people a feeling that they can rely on. Although most of the movie, this person is in the midst of failure and frustration, but if he doesn't have that momentum, how can he succeed in the end? Moreover, one of the most important reasons is that you want the audience to have a kind of trust in this actor as soon as they see him, trust this person, and in the end, they will definitely succeed.

It's a pity that in Hollywood, Yang Lin didn't find such an actor.

Until a few days ago, Yang Lin suddenly had a whim: the heroine of "The Love of People and Ghosts" became Zhong Chuhong; Most of the supporting roles in "Die Hard" were replaced by Hong Kong actors. And both of these films were successful. Then, that is to say, the reason why Hong Kong movies are not accepted by American audiences is not that the main actor is Chinese or American.

The real focus is on whether the message of the film, and the way in which it is expressed, will be accepted by American audiences. There are definitely differences between Eastern and Western cultures. However, cultures will never exist in isolation from each other, and there must be some similarities. How to seek common ground while reserving differences, and make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses is the key to whether Hong Kong films can enter Hollywood.

For example, in the previous life, the American blockbusters that were arrogant and domineering and swept the domestic box office, if you take a closer look, you will find that there are very few things that are exclusive to the United States, or in other words, very American. American blockbusters express content that is superficial or easily accepted by foreign audiences. Such as apocalyptic wars, such as lone heroes. There will definitely be no very literary and American-style existence, and such films cannot be eaten in foreign countries, especially in Asian countries. Even if you take a hundred Oscars, you still can't eat them.

The reason is simple, either you don't like it, or you can't understand it.

Of course no one looked.

Just like this time, Yang Lin's "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" has been a box office success in Europe and the United States. In Hong Kong, there are only tens of millions, and there must be sixty or seventy percent of this, which is attributed to the appeal of the word "Yang Lin" and Zhong Chuhong's Oscar "actress" title.

If the same story is expressed in a way that is acceptable to everyone, a "Hong Kong blockbuster" can be born.

Therefore, in Yang Lin's heart, this time "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is an experiment. The story plot that combines Chinese and Western is a way of expression that has no style, but is very interesting.

However, whether it is good or not, Yang Lin has no bottom. Then, you have to find an actor with good acting skills and an appearance that is easy to accept in Europe and the United States to play the leading role in this movie. Unfortunately, Zhou Runfa is this, in Yang Lin's opinion, a very qualified actor.

At present, the male number one in the Hong Kong film industry is none other than Zhou Yunfa.

The script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is very simple compared to Yang Lin's previous scripts. In fact, as long as it is a movie made by himself, the script is generally very simple. The use of lenses, the choice of camera positions, and the layout of the scene are all in his heart, and there is no need to show it.

Even so, Zhou Yanfa watched it for a long time. I read it carefully, almost line by line.

After reading it, Zhou Yanfa was even more worried, rubbed his hair vigorously, and glared at Yang Lin: "Aren't you blocking me?" ”

Yang Lin was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"If I don't take your play, I guess I will regret it for several years, it's really good! I just want to act in a movie like this, pure acting. A few days ago, Zhang Wanting showed me a script of "Autumn Fairy Tale", which was also very good, and I have already agreed. Say, if I take over your play, what about those contracts? You can't call me untrustworthy, can you? ”

Zhou Yanfa was in a dilemma, and he didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up.

Yang Lin snorted: "What's so difficult about this?" Hurry up and finish filming the scene at hand. As for those film appointments, it's easier to do. After a while, you make a list, and I ask Miss Shi to send notices door-to-door. These film contracts will all be postponed for three months, and the theater chain will give two percentage points of compensation to each of them in terms of box office sharing. If you don't give face, hehe, buddy will arrange a film for him, and he will go to 97! ”

Domineering!

Zhou Yunfa raised his thumb. Of course, the so-called 97 is just a joke. Not to mention the Hong Kong theater chain, it is not Yang Lin's own, even if it is, Yang Lin will not take the lead in breaking his own rules for a movie.

As long as Yang Lin comes forward, everyone will give face. What's more, there is also a two-percentage point compensation? A movie with a box office of 20 million, two percentage points, is 400,000. This money naturally cannot be from the theater, and can only be taken out of Yang Lin's own pocket.

If so, who still doesn't give face, it will really tear the face. In Hong Kong, those who dare to publicly tear their faces with Yang Lin, except for Shao Yifu, have really never heard of it again. Don't say anything else, but the relationship between Xiang Huaqiang and Yang Lin, everyone has to weigh it.

Since Yang Lin was able to settle the matter of the film appointment, Zhou Yanfa naturally had nothing to say. Don't say that this movie is very good, it's just a piece of garbage, Yang Lin's face, Zhou Yanfa also has to buy it. It has nothing to do with anything else, it's just a friendship.
