It can be seen that after Yang Lin's guidance and Michael Jackson's words and deeds, Liu Dehua's grasp of the stage has improved rapidly, and he is very good at mobilizing the audience's emotions and mediating the atmosphere of the scene. The whole concert was very successful, not only the Hong Kong audience was addicted, but even the fans of Michael Jackson from the United States also gave a thumbs up and gave this concert and Liu Dehua a very high evaluation.

The "Explosive New Year" series of concerts has ended so far and has been a complete success. All kinds of media and all walks of life have given positive comments. Although on the whole, these concerts were unable to make ends meet and suffered a big loss, Yang Lin didn't care. He can already predict that in the near future, "Red Star Records" is about to usher in a violent blowout period.

At the last regular meeting of the "Red Star Record" year ago, and also the summary meeting of the "Hot New Year" series of concerts, Yang Lin put forward this point. The whole company must be prepared, the production of records, the recording of songs, and the supporting publicity must be closely followed, and the sales of records must not be affected by the factors that are perceived. Fortunately, "Red Star Records" has experienced a big explosion of record sales after the concert of Zhang Xueyou and Chen Huixian, and there is absolutely no lack of experience. Everyone complemented each other and soon came up with a complete plan, and Yang Lin was very satisfied.

The last is to send red envelopes, announce the holiday, and the Spring Festival will be over soon. Although Hong Kong at this time does not attach much importance to the Spring Festival, it is still necessary for the family to sit together and have a reunion dinner.

"Red Star Records" and "Red Star Cinemas" are relatively easy, and there are not many things. There are too many troubles with "Red Star Pictures".

Except for Liu Guanwei, several generals of "Red Star Pictures" have set up their own film companies, which are hung under the name of "Red Star Cinemas", and most of the funds are invested by Yang Lin. That's why. It was only then that Yang Lin's funds were stretched thin and almost cut off. After the "Explosive New Year" concert, Shi Nansheng settled the account and told Yang Lin that your current total liquidity is less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which scared Yang Lin a lot.

But it makes sense to think about it. "The Love of People and Ghosts" has invested almost 20 million US dollars before and after, and has not yet been edited in the later stage. It is estimated that the release will have to wait until July and August. It's not that he is slacking off, but even if you edit it out and make it all now, you won't be able to schedule the film.

Xu Ke, this guy is a guy who eats money. A "A Chinese Ghost Story" made an additional investment on the left and an additional investment on the right, with an original budget of 8 million, but it took 13 million to shoot it for half a year. Fortunately, it will be released soon, and you can recover some funds first. It can slightly alleviate Yang Lin's urgent need.

The sequel to Wu Yusen's "True Colors of Heroes" is also being filmed. The script was made by him and Xu Ke, and it was not much different from the previous life. It's just that in the previous life, the two were about to part ways because of different concepts, but now they are in love with adultery, and helping each other can be called "friends".

Liu Guanwei's "Mr. Zombie" sequel "Zombie Family" has also entered the filming stage, and it is still the original cast, but the plot has made great progress. Because of the small cost and box office success of "Mr. Zombie", there are countless works that have followed the trend in Hong Kong, setting off a "zombie boom" for a while. The box office is actually good, which is a miracle. The biggest difference between "Zombie Family" and Hong Kong zombie movies of the same period is that zombies have feelings. Zombies were originally depicted as monsters with no sense of humanity, but the three zombies in the film are naturally licking their calves because of the relationship between parents and sons. The little zombie fell into the world by mistake, and had a deep friendship with a few children, playing some warm and interesting tricks, and the zombie was also a little bit of family and friendship.

This "Zombie Family" is not a small cost of the previous film, this time Yang Lin plans to invest 15 million Hong Kong dollars, whether it is props, costumes, scene construction, or computer special effects post-production, it can be regarded as a big production in the Hong Kong film industry. There's no way, the zombie theme is popular, if you don't keep improving in production and plot, who will watch it? Following the trend is sometimes the same as piracy, it is a very disgusting thing.

Du Qifeng was the most surprising to Yang Lin, originally the representative of "police and gangster films" in Yang Lin's mind, and went to bring Yang Lin a comedy script. "Eight Stars Annunciation"? Of course, Yang Lin knew about this movie.

"Eight-Star Annunciation" was originally a work of New Art City in 1988, and the director was Du Qifeng, which is a masterpiece of Du Qifeng's fame. Du Qifeng is not only a good police film, this "Eight Star Annunciation" is also very exciting, and it topped the Hong Kong movie box office list that year. What "Police Story Sequel" or "Flying Dragon General" were all cut off, which made Xinyicheng raise his eyebrows again.

After a cursory look at the script, it is no different from the previous life, it tells the story of three brothers with different personalities who have gone through a detour in their relationship, and after making countless love jokes, they all ended in a happy ending.

But Yang Lin scratched his head and looked puzzled: it seems that the screenwriter of this "Eight Star Annunciation" is Huang Baiming, in his previous life, Du Qifeng left TVB and was directly co-opted by Xinyicheng, and he can be regarded as one of the cadres of Xinyicheng. But now that Du Qifeng has been pulled over by himself, what is the matter with Huang Baiming? So how did this script come about?

Du Qifeng saw Yang Lin's strange face, and thought that he couldn't read this script, so his heart jumped, and he quickly asked nervously: "Ah Lin, how is it?" ”

"Who wrote this script?" Yang Lin asked.

"Huh?" Du Qifeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Lin to ask this question, he scratched his hair awkwardly, and said, "That was written by Huang Baiming with me." In fact, I just happened to meet Huang Baiming when I was drinking with my friends that day, and I met my friend after introduction. At that time, I just put forward an idea casually, and then Huang Baiming said that it was good, and we used the strength of the wine to figure out a rough idea. Afterwards, we both thought it was good, so we got together again and perfected the script. Huang Baiming said that he had the idea I wanted, and he didn't want to take advantage of it, so he gave me the script. ”

Xinyicheng is now a competitor of Red Star Pictures, the most newcomer of Red Star Pictures, but he hooks up with the generals of Xinyicheng, but it is not good-looking. If Yang Lin is a narrow-minded person, it is estimated that Du Qifeng will not have a good life in Red Star Pictures in the future. Of course, Du Qifeng knew what kind of person Yang Lin was, but he was also worried that others would mumble, saying that he was messing around with his relationship with Yang Lin, which was not a good thing in short.

Of course, Yang Lin understood Du Qifeng's thoughts, and waved his hand with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that the jokes in this script were very familiar, and it was obviously not your style, Brother Feng." It's no problem to write a script with anyone, even if you write a script and sell it to others, and it ends up being a box office hit, it's not a problem, which only proves that my vision is not good. This script is good, so let's get a new one, directed by Brother Feng, you can choose the actors, and make a budget for me afterwards. ”

Du Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after he came to Red Star Films, he didn't build an inch, but he didn't want others to say behind his back that he was involved in the relationship with Yang Lin's senior brothers. In other words, Lao Duna is quite self-respecting.

Thinking about the script in his head, one thing came to Yang Lin's mind.

"I had an idea a few days ago, let me tell you, everyone can help figure it out, can it be written into a script." Yang Lin roughly said the "Chainsaw Horror" that he remembered when he was in the United States a few days ago. Of course, he didn't want everyone to help him write the script, every detail of the whole movie was in his mind, and he just needed to write it down.

He just wanted to come up with an introduction, asking everyone to develop a habit: don't hold any good ideas in your mind, like a treasure map Yang pondered by himself, for fear that others would know about it. The script is a thing that needs to be brainstormed. The current Hong Kong film industry does not pay much attention to screenwriters and scripts. Sometimes I take a script to film, and only the name does not change in the end. What's more, he thought of a concept, a name, a few actors and started filming, and pondered the script while filming.

There is no need to name names, Xu Ke is this kind of person.

Yang Lin briefly talked about the plot of "Chainsaw", and everyone started talking about it, and always thought that it was a good idea of a "thriller".

The first "Saw Horror" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004, bringing in $55.18 million at the box office in North America. Due to the success of the first series, the production team filmed 6 sequels in the following 6 years. The film's short shooting time, low cost, and high box office have set records one after another, and it is regarded as the most classic horror film.

Due to the excessive violence and gore of the "Chainsaw" series of movies, there were many incidents of moviegoers being scared in the theater after the release, and later the cinema had no choice but to advise people with poor psychological tolerance and sensitivity to internal organs and dismemberment not to watch it.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Yang Lin said to Wang Jing: "What about that Lan Naicai? ”

Wang Jingzheng didn't know what to think about, he was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's next door, and now it's the person in charge of our props production, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Lin didn't notice Wang Jing's emotions at first, so he said: "You go and call him, let him direct this movie." ”

In his previous life, Lan Naicai's "King of Force" Yang Lin was extremely admired, and the bloody violence was disgusting. Combined with his attainments in prop models, he is definitely the most suitable candidate for the "Saw Horror" series.

Wang Jing "oh" and got up to call Lan Naicai.

When everyone heard that they had asked someone who had never made a movie independently to direct this movie, they were all stunned.

Yang Lin wanted this effect, and smiled slightly: "Sometimes a person's ability is limited, and he can't be insatiable and greedy for one thing or the other, and always wants to contact more subjects." Everyone has their own suitable genre, I don't care what kind of subject you want to shoot, but the premise is that on the basis of shooting the most suitable field for yourself, I will spare no effort to support you. Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that we are not strong enough now, and we must ensure our dominant position in Hong Kong films in order to give you more opportunities to experience, please be extremely considerate of my hardships.
