Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fighting

Zhou Yan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and couldn't figure out his intention.

Yang Lin sat down opposite Zhou Yan unceremoniously as if he had arrived at his own home, put the script that he had spent five or six days writing on the table, and said straight to the point: "This is a TV drama script, and the plot is to describe the touching story that happened between a pair of brothers who separated the mainland from Xiangjiang. As soon as this drama is released, it will definitely arouse the blood kinship of the people of Xiangjiang, and make people feel that Xiangjiang on the mainland is a family, and no one can be separated. It will be of great help to the current situation, and once this sentiment of the people arises, you can take a lot of initiative. Moreover, I would persuade Mr. Shao that the drama could be co-produced by TVB and Great Wall Film Company, or added to the mainland. You also know the status of TVB in Hong Kong, what it means to co-produce, I don't need to say more. ”

Zhou Yan smiled: "I don't have the money to buy your script, you know I'm just a civil servant." ”

Yang Lin touched his nose and secretly annoyed that Zhou Yan was pretending, so he had to say directly: "You don't have money, but the Great Wall Film Company has it, and the mainland also has it, and I don't want money." It is the duty of every Chinese son and daughter to do something for the country, and it is also a supreme honor. ”

Looking at Yang Lin's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Zhou Yan was a little amused, so he nodded: "Okay, I thank you for your contribution on behalf of the country!" I would like to apply to the relevant departments and give you a medal of honor. ”

Yang Lin also smiled, and he didn't expect to take advantage of a negotiator like Zhou Yan: "I have a small request, I hope you can agree." ”

Zhou Yan pointed at Yang Lin and laughed: "You kid, you know that you have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace." Tell me, within my ability, no problem. ”

Yang Lin was a little stunned, this is too happy, right? Such a character can be so frank, and his good impression of Zhou Yan has increased greatly, so he said: "I hope that the Great Wall Film Company can stand on Shao Yifu's side and help him control the board of directors." ”

Zhou Yanqi said: "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Yang Lin was stern in his words, and his face was full of righteousness: "Mr. Shao has the grace of knowing me, and the grace of receiving water from others, he should repay him with a spring." I am the most affectionate person, and I know how to repay my kindness. ”

Zhou Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Lin, as if he was very suspicious of his real surname.

Yang Lin was fearless and calm. But the drum is beating in my heart, this Zhou Yan's eyes are too sharp, buddy can't stand it!

Zhou Yan retracted his gaze, took the script in his hand, and flipped through it casually: "This script is very good?" ”

Yang Lin said proudly: "Of course, you haven't heard of my reputation as a 'Xiangjiang genius'?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled dumbly: "There are several talented people in Xiangjiang, and there are many who can write good scripts, why do you offer such a sky-high price?" ”

Yang Lin said: "This is a script that reflects the close relationship between the mainland and Xiangjiang, and none of them have me to understand the situation in the mainland. ”

"Hehe," Zhou Yan said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, there are still many directors and screenwriters in Xiangjiang, all of whom come from the mainland." ”

Yang Lin said: "What they see is the previous continent, not the current continent. ”

Zhou Yan thought for a while, and then agreed with Yang Lin's statement: "Okay, I don't understand this thing, and I don't count the Great Wall Film Company." I promised you to send them this script along with your idea, but whether it succeeds or not, is not something I can control. ”

! Who do they listen to if they don't listen to you? But Zhou Yan agreed to think about it, and he was a little hopeful, so he nodded, and left with some regret.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the door next to him opened, and two people walked out. The two men, a man and a woman, both had eyes. The man is over the age of six, his hair is gray, he combs his back neatly back, his body is tough, and his spirit is strong. The woman is in her thirties, not tall, with a round face and short hair, and is very energetic.

Zhou Yan stood up and said with a smile: "This kid doesn't know what to do, but he actually supports Shao Yifu." ”

The sixtieth man came to the desk with a smile and sat down in the seat Yang Lin had just now: "Wouldn't it be because I was afraid that Shao Yifu would lose his power, and he would also be swept out of the house and fired squid?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head and picked up a stack of files on the corner of the table: "With his background, would he be afraid of this?" What's more, this kid is indeed talented, and some people are rushing to ask for him. On that stack of information, Yang Lin's origin, identity, experience, and what happened after arriving in Xiangjiang are detailed, detailed, and comprehensive. There are even several photos of him and Ah Shun when they were competing in boxing. Zhou Yan deliberately put those photos together with the photos of him singing at the Peninsula Hotel on the day of the launch of "People on the Journey". Yang Lin in the photo is the same naked body, strong muscles, and clear tattoos.

The woman went straight to the table, picked up Yang Lin's script, and looked at it carefully.

The sixtieth man took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you think this kid is worth cultivating?" ”

Zhou Yan also sat down, lit a cigarette, pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I can't see clearly." But if I really want to choose someone in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, I will choose him. ”

The man raised his white eyebrows: "Oh? Why? ”

Zhou Yan muttered: "First of all, his identity and background determine his politics. Governing tendencies. Moreover, his experience and talent are enough to make him a blockbuster in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry without negatively affecting us. ”

The sixtieth man was silent, just kept smoking. After a while, he said, "This matter has too much impact, so be cautious." Otherwise, how about we give a little support and make a conclusion after careful observation? ”

Zhou Yan also nodded and said, "That's the best, I agree." He looked at the woman again and said with a smile: "How is it, Anwar, how is this kid's script?" ”

The woman who asked Anwar put down the script and sighed a little unsatisfied: "Well written, the storyline, character dialogues, and scene descriptions are all impeccable!" In the Hong Kong screenwriting industry, this person's level is absolutely first-class. ”

The sixtieth man and Zhou Yan glanced at each other, and the latter said, "Then do you think it is more appropriate to shoot this script?" ”

Anwar pouted: "This kid's script is too detailed, everything has been arranged perfectly, even if it is a shot, it can't be easily changed, otherwise it will destroy the overall concept and theme." It can be said that as long as you are a person who can film, you can shoot! Because whoever shoots is the same, they can't play tricks. ”

The sixtieth man said with great interest: "Give me the script, I'll take a look, this co-production idea is good, and the political impact is greater than the TV series itself." He took the thick script and glanced at the cover: ""Years and Clouds", well, this name is good, atmospheric enough." Then he took a closer look.

Zhou Yan was silent in thought, his eyes behind his glasses flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

*****************

Send the script over, Yang Lin can only wait. His real purpose is to co-produce this proposal, and the script is just a starting point. In his imagination, Zhou Yan and the top leaders in the mainland are unlikely to let go of such an opportunity.

I also took the time to prepare for the filming of "Hooligan Tycoon", although the budget is small, but I also have to do my best to make a classic. After all, whether this drama is good or not is his "masterpiece" work on TVB, and whether he will have the opportunity to film on TVB in the future is a matter of words.

But before that, he must talk to Shao Yifu, after all, he came up with the idea of "co-production" by himself, and he had to inform Shao Yifu, although he knew that Shao Yifu could not oppose it at all, and even strongly agreed.

In 1980, Phoenix Pictures' martial arts film "Blue Water and Cold Mountain" (Johnny To's directorial debut) was the first to return to the mainland for filming, and the Hong Kong-mainland co-production business has been on the right track since then. However, most of the production companies in Hong Kong were leftist "Changfeng Xin" (i.e., Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian), while the big companies in the Xiangjiang film industry at that time, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City did not move. Don't these big companies in Hong Kong want to enter the mainland? The answer, of course, is no, and their heads hurt when they think about it. Just look at the "Shaolin Temple" released in the mainland in 81, the ticket price of one cent at that time was as high as more than 100 million. What is this concept? Last year's box office champion of Hong Kong films, "Best Partner" in New Arts City, was only 26 million.

The reason for this can probably be glimpsed from the "Measures for the Administration of Imported Films" promulgated in 1981. Article 7 of the "Measures" stipulates that, with the exception of the Hong Kong Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian companies returning to the mainland to make films, and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council will have direct contact with the relevant regions and units, all Sino-foreign or Chinese co-production businesses with Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Province shall be managed by the China Film Co-production Company. -- That is, the Hong Kong leftist film companies are given special care.

This year, as the first non-leftist company filmmaker to return to the mainland to make films, the famous director Li Hanxiang formed his own "New Kunlun" film company and co-produced "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" with the mainland, for which Li Hanxiang suffered heavy political pressure, but the film is very magnificent and historical, realistic and realistic, just painted, has achieved 15 million good results, and is currently ranked first at this year's box office. No matter what kind of results Golden Harvest's much-hyped "Plan A" gets, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" will not fall out of the top two, and the movie bigwigs who watched it were red-eyed.

Now that we have the opportunity to connect with the mainland, it can be said that it is a good start. What's more, this matter will definitely be raised by the mainland delegation, and if it can be reached, it will not bear the slightest bit of politics. Treat stress.

It can also get the support of the Great Wall Film Company, and in the future, it will be as stable as Mount Tai and as safe as a rock in TVB, why not?
