108 Attack on the Dragon

Few people know that Li Zhengdong is Li Lianjie, even when the Shaolin boy was in the limelight in Xiangjiang, Hong Kong people only remember him as a monk Jueyuan, in the eyes of Hong Kong people, Li Lianjie is a monk professional.

In 1986, after the failure of "North and South Shaolin", Li Lianjie embarked on the road of directing with curiosity and a desire to try under the persuasion of his friends.

Because Li Lianjie had only filmed three dramas before and lacked acting experience, he said that the director was not something that anyone could do, but he made frequent mistakes during the filming, and he also filmed with old injuries.

The monk professional household incarnated as an anti-Japanese hero, and his new image was not recognized by Hong Kong people, and the role was too hard and mature, without the mischievous alertness of Shaolin monks.

What's even worse is that during this period, the Xiangjiang film industry has changed, hero films, female ghost films, royal sister films, and Cheng Long films are popular, Li Lianjie did not understand the market, and failure is inevitable.

After a series of blows, "Chinese Heroes" did not even have a chance to be released, Li Lianjie lost confidence in the film industry, sold the film to a company, and took his wife, who was seven months pregnant, to the United States in the name of a government research fund, and opened a martial arts gym in San Francisco, Los Angeles to make a living.

Two years later, at the beginning of this year, "Chinese Heroes" was released, and it came up with a box office score of 10 million in a month, but Li Lianjie, who was far away in the United States, didn't know it.

It wasn't until Zhang Jin sent someone to send a letter that Li Lianjie knew that "Chinese Heroes" had collected 10 million box office, and it turned out that he still had some commercial value in Xiangjiang.

In the next few weeks, he received letters from Zhang Jin, which contained a variety of contents, including a summary of the failure of "Chinese Heroes", an analysis of the current development trend of the Xiangjiang film industry, and several videos of the current box office hit, of course, "Raid" starring Zhang Jin.

After Li Lianjie finished reading "Raid", he took Zhang Jin's last letter and read it for a long time.

In the end, the letter has a lot of content, almost Zhang Jin is talking about his past, about the discrimination he and his eldest brother have accepted after coming to Hong Kong, about how he struggles with fate, how he survives in TVB, how he shoots "Raid", and how he looks forward to the future......

To tell the truth, Li Lianjie was moved by Zhang Jin's sincerity, but he did not draw conclusions easily, but called a friend in Xiangjiang to ask about the situation of Jinlong, it doesn't matter if he doesn't ask, after learning that the box office of "Raid" is 19 million, the box office of Taiwan is 25 million, and the cumulative number of Southeast Asian countries is 11 million, Li Lianjie was surprised and couldn't close his mouth.

Good guy, it turns out that Zhang Jin didn't brag, Jinlong is really strong.

What made Li Lianjie decide directly was a script and a check for 500,000 yuan, Zhang Jin's meaning is obvious: Although the money is not much, it represents my sincerity, as long as you are willing to come to Jinlong to develop, this script will let you star in it, and I will use resources to support you, about 500,000 yuan per film.

There is strength, sincerity, script, and the key is money.

After Li Lianjie discussed with his wife, he sold the house to pay off the debt, and dragged his family to join Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin held Li Lianjie's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Li, I finally looked forward to you!" ”

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to be younger than I imagined." Li Lianjie was quite surprised.

After a brief introduction, Li Lianjie took out the check from his pocket, handed it over with both hands and said, "Mr. Zhang, the check will be returned to you." ”

"It's ...... Do you feel too little? Zhang Jin frowned.

Li Lianjie shook his head and smiled: "I didn't come here just looking at the money, it was your sincerity that moved me and made me see hope, I hope that through my own efforts, I will earn this check back in a dignified manner." ”

"Good!" Li Lianjie's character is like this, Zhang Jin also feels sincerely gratified, "In this way, I will send someone to take you to the Peninsula Hotel to rest, and after the company is busy with the release of the new film, we will sit down and talk about the script in detail, how about it?" ”

Li Lianjie nodded: "Yes." ”

After letting Li Lianjie's family go, Zhang Jin and the others returned to the conference room, and Chen Shaohua asked a little puzzled: "Why did you invite him here?" ”

Zhang Jin didn't tell everyone about inviting Li Lianjie, because it was still unknown whether he could be invited, but now when he saw Li Lianjie's family of four coming back, he was completely relieved.

"Ask him to come back and make a film, and the company will expand its scale." Zhang Jin said as a matter of course: "It can't be limited to action movies and comedies, and the next step is to develop into costume martial arts." ”

Wei Jiahui said: "There are new films again? Give me, give me, let me practice! ”

"Brother Hui, you are still on vacation, what are you anxious about?" Zhang Jin smiled bitterly: "The new film is a partnership between Yuan Kui and Li Lianjie. ”

"Me!" Yuan Kui pointed at himself in surprise: "No, "The Saint of Gambling" has just finished filming, why don't you give me a few days off." ”

"Give it to me, give it to me!" Liu Zhenwei also coaxed.

Zhang Jin said: "You and Brother Kui continue to cooperate, and after you finish the new film with Li Lianjie, hurry up and run in with Zhou Xingchi, I feel that the two of you have a tacit understanding." ”

Chen Shaohua held his chin and groaned: "If you are a martial artist in ancient costumes, unless you graft the shell of a ghost movie, it will be difficult to make achievements at the box office." ”

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "Let's shoot martial arts, ghost movies or something, that's Xu Ke's patent." ”

Please go back to Li Lianjie, Zhang Jin just wants to grab the position of the new martial arts before "Smiling Proud Jianghu", of course, before that, let Li Lianjie get familiar with it, and let him get started with "Huang Feihong" a little early.

The little secretary Li Xiaowei knocked on the door and came in and said, "Boss, ATV is looking for you." ”

…… Dividing line ......

Because of Wei Jiahui's resignation, the new Changyue is domineering and arrogant, whether it is the behind-the-scenes staff or the various Huadan Xiaosheng, they are all in a state of panic.

Liang Jiashu, who took office, was very courageous, selected ten senior screenwriters from the creative department, analyzed the script of "Intolerable", and stared at the box office of "North and South Mom", quite absent-mindedly, and directly made Wang Jing almost vomit blood in anger and ran to Fang Yihua to complain.

"Sister Hua, if I knew that filming was so difficult, I shouldn't have taken your film in the first place."

Fang Yihua sneered: "No way, Wei Jiahui just left, I need to stabilize Liang Jiashu, otherwise you go back to TVB to help me, and I will arrange for the release of "The Gambler" immediately." ”

Wang Jing shook his head vigorously, what are you kidding, he just jumped out of the fire pit of TVB, and he didn't come back until he was funny.

"Then you can't drag it out, now everyone outside is calling me a coward, saying that I don't dare to have a hard time with Zhang Jin!" Wang Jing pretended to be pitiful and said: "Besides, I am very confident in the box office, Sister Hua, you think about it." ”

After Wang Jing left disappointed, Fang Yihua rubbed his eyebrows, "Zhang Jin, you bastard, you said that a new drama would be released in a week, but now half a month has passed, even if you don't see the script, you can't even see the figure!" ”

With the popularity of "This is the Same Root" and the Miss Asia selection, ATV has launched a series of actions to buy people's hearts, and through these efforts, many viewers have regained their confidence in ATV, so TVB is quite passive now.

"Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin, what the hell are you up to?"

Just when Fang Yihua was talking about Zhang Jin, a phone call came in.

"Miss Fang is not good, there is news from ATV's internal line, saying ......"

"Say what?"

"Said that ATV sent someone to find Zhang Jin."
