In Japan, the release of "Midnight Bell" caused a scream.

As for the reason for the screaming, there are those who are frightened, those who are surprised, and even more so who exclaim.

The legendary incident of frightening people to death did not happen, but the news of being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to a heart attack caused by the audience's excessive panic did happen from time to time.

"Midnight Bell", which was released in China in the previous life, is an "improved version" that has undergone a lot of cuts. According to the censorship system of the Celestial Empire, many too horrific and bloody scenes have been removed, and an excellent movie has long become nondescript, I don't know what to say.

Yang Lin was fortunate to have seen the original uncut version of "Midnight Bell" from a Japanese film company.

Especially one of them, which can be called a classic shot of "Midnight Bell", Yang Lin felt a little creepy at that time.

Sadako actually has a scene after crawling out of the TV and scaring Ryuji to death, which may have been cut out because it was too terrifying. This shot looks like this: Sadako scares the dragon to death, her face slowly turns to the TV, and then slowly walks over to the camera, stretches out her hand, and crawls out of your TV. At this time, because the Japanese director used 3D animation stunts, you will see that Sadako's hand seems to really come out of your TV, which is the real climax of Midnight Brother Suzu's first part. It is said that this shot scared several people to death in Japan.

However, after the release of this version of "Midnight Bell", it also caused a huge response in Japan, and was finally forced to be deleted. So this version has basically disappeared, except for some industry insiders. It's impossible to see it on the market.

Yang Lin doesn't care, since he wants to shoot, of course, he takes out the most classic. As for whether it will be cut out. That's for later, too.

Yu Yunhang directed this movie, but in fact, he didn't have much room to play. The whole has basically been set by Yang Lin in detail and rigorously, every shot, every scene, there is no possibility of any change. It's not that Yang Lin doesn't trust Yu Yunhang, but he wants to let Yu Yunhang touch the soul of real horror movies through this method. Know those unique expressions. How to integrate into the movie more freely and smoothly.

Therefore, for the sequel to "Midnight Bell", Yang Lin didn't even give Yu Yunhang the script at all. Just a rough framework that allows him complete freedom to play. The cultivation of talents is what Yang Lin is more willing to do. As for whether he will smash the signboard of "Midnight Bell", Yang Lin doesn't care at all. Classic horror film. Yang Lin has a lot in his head. If a movie can really make an excellent director, Yang Lin will almost burst into laughter.

With "Midnight Bell" causing huge controversy in Japan because it is too terrifying, the box office is naturally soaring and invincible.

"Midnight Bell" is scary because it understands the human psyche too well.

In the subconscious, people will use images as metaphors and symbols to express some meanings that are different from the superficial meaning. The clearest example of this is dreams. The dream is ridiculous on the surface, and there is no logic. But. If we understand psychology, we can know that these seemingly inexplicable things actually express the psychology of the person's subconscious. If a person dreams of flying in the sky with a person of the opposite sex, it is illogical. However, this may indicate that he wants to have sex with this opposite sex, and flying with him can represent love, because the feeling of happiness is like flying.

The screenwriter of "Midnight Bell" must know the psychology of the subconscious. To tell a terrifying story, to achieve the more terrifying the better, the story he tells must be the one that can make him the most afraid, and it is also the one that can make the audience the most susceptible to fear. He knows what kind of plot will make the audience afraid, and this movie is like a nightmare for the screenwriter.

I have to say that this screenwriter is great, although the original work of "Midnight Bell" is a novel, but Yang Lin agrees that this changed screenwriter is definitely a master screenwriter of horror movies.

Even the male protagonist in the movie said that after filming "Midnight Bell", he would have a huge fear in the face of the TV set full of snowflakes.

Of course, for such a movie that has no connotation, Yang Lin behaved very casually. He just slowly and skillfully tinkered with his "Die Hard" in Hong Kong, and didn't care much about "Midnight Bell" released in Japan. This is a "gold rush" work, if you can make money at the same time, and cultivate a horror master who thinks Hong Kong movies, of course, it is the most perfect ending.

The results of the hospital's examination made him greatly relieved. He is strong and strong, and a certain part is fully functional, as for the reason why he can't make a woman pregnant, the female doctor who makes Yang Lin secretly hate can't tell what is going on, but just suggests that he should do more "exercise" appropriately, and if the seeds are sown more, the harvest will naturally come.

Yang Lin is not worried about the harvest, he is worried about the seeds. As long as the seeds are fine, it doesn't matter if the harvest is late.

In addition to filming, his eyes were quietly aimed at ATV.

The predecessor of Asia Television was Leigh's TV, the first television station in Hong Kong. The predecessor of Li's TV station was the first commercial radio station in Hong Kong. In 1982, Far Eastern Bank tycoon Qiu Degen bought a 50% stake in the TV station, renamed it "Asia Television", and reorganized the organization, making himself chairman of the board.

After Qiu Degen settled in ATV, he showed his strength. He invited Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming from the film and television industry to serve as the director and program manager respectively, responsible for the production business of "ATV". These two really lived up to Qiu Degen's high expectations, and successively launched costume martial arts films "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", "Huo Dongge" and other films. "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" has always been admired by the Chinese, and these three TV dramas promote this tradition, so as soon as they were broadcast, they immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong and the mainland, becoming a classic that has been popular for decades, and the natural benefits of "ATV" have greatly increased. Since then, "ATV" has successively launched a series of costume dramas: "Wu Zetian", "Qin Shi Huang", and "Xi Shi", all of which have been successful and have extremely high ratings. The rapid development of Asia Television has caused panic among TVB. The two sides engaged in a fierce competition.

For example, the selection of "Miss Asia" is to boycott TVB's "Miss Hong Kong" selection. In order to fight back against ATV, TVB launched the election of "Miss Bodybuilding". And it was broadcast live on the same night. Before the first "Miss Asia" election last year, TVB's "Miss Bodybuilding" was also grandly launched. Both sides made a lot of publicity, and for a while, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling and talking about it. People were both excited and complaining about it, and they had to keep switching channels while watching. It can be seen that the influence of "ATV" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However. ATV's operation has not been proportional to its huge investment. Behind the appearance of booming ratings, there are dismal commercial gains.

Thereupon. In 1987, Mr Chiu sold a majority stake in ATV to the Lai Sun Group, led by businessman Lam Pak Yan and the real estate developer Cheng Yu Tung's New World Group.

It can be said that TVB has always been a strong opponent of ATV's development. And the other way around. There is also only ATV. in order to challenge TVB. Since Yang Lin wants to teach Shao Yifu a hard lesson and take a bad breath in his heart, it is a very good choice to acquire ATV and start a battle with TVB in an upright manner.

Of course, he can't wait until next year. Once Lin Baixin and Zheng Yutong decide to join forces to acquire ATV, then he Yang Lin is just a small grasshopper, and he will be swallowed by these two super predators. Hiccups won't hit one.

Lin Baixin buys ATV and buys two-thirds of the shares in Chu Degen. spent almost half a billion Hong Kong dollars. This amount of money doesn't seem to be a big difficulty for Yang Lin, but you must know that it is in the context of the "87 stock market crash". In order to pump out the money to inject money into his Bank of East Asia, Chud had to reluctantly cut his flesh and sell ATV's shares at a very low price.

Now that people's business is doing well, although ATV has a small setback, it is a problem to even buy or sell shares, and don't even think about the price.

As long as Qiu Degen can be allowed to sell his shares, Yang Lin can pay any price. Because he knows too well that once it comes next year, he won't have a chance at all.

However, how can we get Qiu Degen to sell ATV's shares?

Yang Lin pondered for a long time, and was so worried that his hair almost turned gray.

Just when Yang Lin was in a hurry about how to get started with ATV, Qiu Degen, chairman of ATV, was also at a loss in the face of ATV's business report last year.

Chud started in the entertainment industry at all, and after suffering from his wife's plane crash, he quit the entertainment industry and devoted himself to the financial industry. Perhaps, he was born a lucky man, and he actually made some achievements in the financial world and established the Far Eastern Bank.

However, doing the entertainment industry has always been an indelible dream in his heart. Therefore, he resolutely returned to the entertainment industry, and as soon as he made a move, he made a big deal and directly spent 100 million yuan to acquire ATV. Later, it successively acquired all the shares of ATV from the Australian consortium.

He has the ambition to make a difference in the television industry.

However, he also has to admit that Shao Yifu is definitely a strong opponent that he has only encountered in his life.

In the past two years, ATV has just improved, and it has caused Shao Yifu's full blow. Whether it is a TV series or an entertainment program, ATV has been defeated again and again, and it has collapsed.

Huang Xizhao stood in front of Qiu Degen's desk, looking at Qiu Degen's two Guan Dao eyebrows that had been screwed together, and sighed secretly in his heart. Even if Qiu Degen has many methods and no changes, he is still a little bit of an opponent in front of Shao Yifu. Shao Yifu is like an old fox, he can smell any danger, even if it is only a little. Thinking about the "Miss Asia" selection made by himself, he just got a little better, and he was immediately put down by the "Miss Bodybuilding" made by Shao Yifu, and Huang Xizhao was unwilling.

"How's the preparation for this year's Miss Asia?" Qiu Degen rubbed his brow and asked in a muffled voice.

Huang Xizhao said respectfully: "Everything is ready, the venue, personnel, and funds are in place. The only thing that is uncertain now is the judges, who have not yet replied to all of them. A few of them are probably busy with affairs, and there is no clear news whether they will attend. ”

The judges of Miss Asia are much more formal than the judges of Miss Hong Kong, basically all of them are celebrities in the entertainment industry, and the results of the selection are of course more authoritative than Miss Hong Kong. However, due to the difference in strength between ATV and TVB, Miss Asia's achievements are far inferior to Miss Hong Kong.

Li Yanshan, the champion of the first Miss Asia last year, is not famous, but she has no good works. At the same time, Hong Kong sister Xie Ning, who was highly praised by TVB, coupled with the scandal with the "entertainment genius" Yang Lin, is already famous in Xiangjiang, in the movie "Yang Jiajiang", although it is only a small role, but the reputation is very good.

Qiu Degen nodded: "Hurry up and decide, if you really can't participate, find a replacement immediately, don't delay the production of the show." Looking at Huang Xizhao and nodding, Qiu Degen remembered something again: "It seems that Yang Lin was invited to be a judge, right?" What did he say? ”

Qiu Degen has always been interested in Yang Lin. When he came to Hong Kong, he only had a few hundred Hong Kong dollars in his body, and finally created his great worth and status today. And this Yang Lin is almost worse than him, with nothing, but he is rising like a comet, not much better than he was back then, and even surpassing.

The key is that Yang Lin not only has excellent business acumen, but also has stronger professional skills than him. Writing songs, arranging, writing and directing, all of them are all proficient and proficient. The name of "entertainment genius" made Qiu Degen very curious about Yang Lin.

This young man is simply a demonic existence.

Huang Xizhao saw that Qiu Degen asked about Yang Lin, and hurriedly said: "Yang Lin hasn't replied yet, our employees have urged him several times, but he has not expressed his position vaguely. There was neither a promise nor a clear refusal. Could it be that he thinks that our Miss Asia is not influential enough and damages his reputation? ”

"Fame?" Qiu Degen smiled dumbly, and said slowly: "Look at the road Yang Lin has walked, what point does he care about fame and reputation? This is a character, an unearthly character, and cannot be viewed by those earthly rules. What people are pursuing is either substantial money or more lofty ideals, and no one cares about fame. When you get to this level, you are the same, fame, it's bullshit. ”

Closing his eyes, Qiu Degen thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Give me an appointment, I'll have a good chat with this entertainment talent." ”

Huang Xizhao was a little stunned, Qiu Degen wanted to see Yang Lin?

After thinking about it again, he seemed to care about Yang Lin's age, but he forgot that he was almost a level of character with Qiu Degen now.

Yang Lin, what an unusual guy! (To be continued......)
