Chapter 109: Red Star Painting
Starting a film company is too simple to do. Yang Lin didn't have to register at all, so he directly bought a small film company, and the grassroots employees were readily available, so it was so troublesome to recruit people now. As for the backbone team at the top level, Yang Lin naturally has to be formed according to the assumption in his mind, and the old employees will survive the fittest, and it will be too late to replace them slowly. Then ask Huang Ziwei to change the name on the license to "Red Star Pictures" and everything is OK.
directly ventilated Pan Hengsheng, Ma Chucheng, and Ju Jueliang, and several people were very happy, and immediately resigned from wireless and turned their heads to "Red Star Pictures". For these few wireless marginal people, Shao Yifu didn't pay attention to them at all, and immediately let them go with a wave of his big hand, and he had the right to sell Yang Lin's favor. As for Zhang Shuping, I originally thought it would be better to talk to him in person.
The core of "Red Star Pictures" was quickly built, but what really gave Yang Lin a headache was the special effects personnel. The biggest selling point of the drama "Assembly" is the tragedy of the plot, and the other is the real shock of the war scenes, and the use of violent aesthetics can be seen everywhere in the film. There are many well-known special effects companies in Hong Kong, but there is no real strength to meet Yang Lin's expectations. As for the internationally renowned special effects masters who Yang Lin was familiar with in his previous life, they were all white and tender rookies at this time.
The reason why Yang Lin dared to write the script of "Assembly Number" was that he himself was a person who played explosive special effects in his previous life, far from being a master, but he can be called a master in China. When he first arrived in Hengdian, he did this, and he did it for seven or eight years. In those mainstream war TV series, there is a lot of sweat in him, and he can be regarded as a character. When "The Assembly" was released, he was already a small boss, but the blasting special effects in the movie made him breathtaking, and he felt the gap with the world's advanced level, and he also deliberately studied a period of various blasting special effects shots of "The Assembly".
Due to the gap in equipment and technology, in this era, it is impossible to replicate the exact same visual effects of the original "Assembly", and it is enough to imitate seven or eight points.
If it all depends on Yang Lin to do it himself, it will be too late to die of exhaustion.
The new "Red Star Pictures" is also in Tsim Sha Tsui, not far from "Red Star Records", but it is a large abandoned factory. The company was founded shortly after buying the building of a bankrupt factory in the area. But due to a shortage of funds and dismal results, I had to pack **. 500,000 yuan to buy this film company and this piece of land with thousands of square meters, in a few years, this piece of land alone can appreciate dozens of times. Tsim Sha Tsui will never be able to find such a large vacant land again, and when the economy recovers, a building can be directly erected, and it can be sold like crazy.
Wang Jing now has a request for Yang Lin, as long as Yang Lin doesn't deliberately throw it away and act alone, he always wanders around. The fat man looked at the tattered factory building, and his mouth snorted: "I said Yang Lin, why do you taste so weird?" What kind of 'Red Star Pictures' makes it worse than that 'Red Star Records', is it because the mainland's hard and simple style has been perfectly inherited by you, coming to Hong Kong to collect garbage and contribute to the municipal government? ”
Yang Lin didn't care about his sarcasm, but smiled: "How about it, no matter how small the temple is, it can also be used for the Bodhisattva, are you interested in joining the group?" Our brothers merge with their two swords, kill the Quartet, see the road is uneven, and do the right thing for heaven! ”
Wang Jing was really a little moved, but after thinking about it, he sighed again: "Forget it, let's wait until you really win the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line one day." ”
Seeing Wang Jing's somewhat dejected appearance, Yang Lin was puzzled: "Why? Fatty, I can tell you, now 'Red Star Pictures' is just a start-up, and you will have shares when you come in. After a few years of development, I won't care about you if you drive a cash truck! ”
Wang Jing grabbed his hair irritably, and said helplessly: "Don't say that the shares are not shares, I actually don't want to work in the Shaw Brothers Company." The board of directors has just been held, and the production will be reduced next year, and the budget of the set films will also be reduced, which will make people panic and deviate. But my old bean said, no matter what, Shaw Company is Mr. Shao's hard work, even if everyone else leaves, I have to stand the last shift, and my father's life is hard to disobey. ”
Yang Lin nodded, Shao Yifu has now transferred all his resources to TVB and is bent on reducing Shaw Brothers' films. Maybe you can buy Shaw Brothers as well? He shook his head again, as if Shao Yifu finally discontinued the production of Shaw Brothers and did not sell it, and still retained the copyright of all the films.
Then Yang Lin remembered something again and asked Wang Jing: "I seem to have heard you say last time, there is a person named Lan Naicai who is there for you?" ”
"yes, it's the photography of this "Frog Prince", what's wrong?"
"Photography?" Yang Lin scratched his head a little, this guy is a well-known stunt master in the Hong Kong film industry, why did he still engage in photography?
Wang Jing looked at him strangely: "That Pan Hengsheng under you is very good, Lan Naicai will not be much stronger than him." ”
"How about lending him to me for a film? How did I hear that he did a good job of special effects? "No matter, let's get him first.
Wang Jingdao: "Who did you listen to?" This guy is just very talented at modeling. If you're looking for a special effects master, I'll introduce you to someone, it's definitely [***]! ”
"Who?"
"Chen Jiashang! This person is a master of the Shaw Brothers stunt group, and he made the stunts of last year's "Interstellar Blunt Tire", and the gunfight explosion is also very powerful. ”
Yang Lin almost slapped **, why did he forget this person? hurriedly said: "You contact him, change jobs or rent, let him come over to help me shoot a movie, and the remuneration is not a problem." "Such a bull who has filmed "Truant Dragon" and "Jingwu Hero", as long as he fools him, he must not be let go.
Wang Jing's small eyes blinked, a little hesitant.
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Something?" ”
"Yes, it's still a big problem." Wang Jing said.
"What's the problem?"
Wang Jing glanced around and said, "I'm not hitting you, you said that people are doing a good job in Shaw Brothers Company, why did they come to your place?" ”
Yang Lin smiled and said confidently: "Then you tell him that there is a big production with an investment of 15 million waiting for him, and he will take the lead in the stunt team in the play." "I don't believe it, for these unwilling bulls, what is more attractive than a big production?
Wang Jing was startled, and said in anticipation: "Fifteen million? You're not lying, are you? The kindergarten teacher said that it is not a good child who lies."
Yang Lin flew up and kicked him **: "I, Yang Lin, am I a liar?" ”
Wang Jing's eyes were full of little stars, and he said curiously: "What film?" Who invested? You're going to shoot? ”
Yang Lin pretended to smile mysteriously, shook his head and said, "Since you refuse to join the gang, then you are an outsider." Trade secrets, no comment! ”
Wang Jing was so angry that he scolded: "You decrepit boy! I know you've been sneaky lately, and you might be up to some kind of machination! It turned out that such a big production was secretly planned, fifteen million! A record, right? Such a big thing is still hidden from me, should I be a brother? ”
Yang Lin ignored him and walked quickly into an air-conditioned office, Wang Jing followed in, still chattering in his mouth.
In the office, Ju Jueliang and others were busy tidying up, and there were no documents, mainly tidying up. Seeing Wang Jing and Yang Lin coming in together, Ju Jueliang greeted with a smile: "Jing Shao!" ”
Wang Jing rolled his eyes: "Come less, you can just call Mr. Wang or Director Wang, keep your distance, I'm an outsider, do I know you very well?" ”
Ju Jueliang was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, presumably this person was deflated by Yang Lin and took his anger out on him, laughed, and turned his head to work.
Yang Lin smiled and looked at Wang Jing sitting on the sofa with a snort, knowing that this guy was mostly pretending, and deliberately said: "In this way, if you can do me a small favor, I will tell you the inside story." ”
Wang Jing looked at him cautiously and asked, "What's busy?" Let's say okay first, I resolutely don't do anything about killing people and setting fires, and I've been washing my hands for a long time! ”
Yang Lin laughed and laughed, still looking for you for murder and arson? Don't get killed. He leaned over to Wang Jing's ear and whispered a few times.
Wang Jing was puzzled: "That's it?" ”
"That's all!"
"It's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that."
Wang Jing shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, there must be a conspiracy." ”
Yang Lin couldn't cry or laugh: "Is there something wrong with you?" It's not easy enough, it has to be complicated? ”
Wang Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, who called us brothers?" Even if it's a pit, I jumped! Tell me, what's going on with that fifteen million big production? ”
Yang Lin was about to speak, when the big brother in his pocket rang out. When the phone was connected, Jia Yuyao's crisp voice came from inside: "Hey, what are you doing?" Do you have time to eat with me? ”
Yang Lin only felt that the 35,000 pores on his body were happily opened, and he said with a smile: "Of course there is, I am negotiating with the President of the United States, but the beauty has an appointment, so I will push him." ”
Jia Yuyao chuckled: "Poor mouth! I'm going to Depu Road Crystal Tea House now, I haven't eaten for a long time, I guarantee that you applaud, first come, first served. Another girl's laughter suddenly came from the phone, Jia Yuyao said something to her, and hung up the phone.
This girl, why did you take the initiative to ask me out? Yang Lin has a big heart, it seems that the cause of picking up girls is progressing rapidly! Since the two of them felt good during the rehearsal of the last concert, they have only spoken on the phone a few times. Yang Lin has been too busy recently, and he has to secretly make some small moves, so he has never had the opportunity to meet.
Yang Lin immediately got up and threw a sentence to Wang Jing: "If you have a date, let's talk about it later, let's get things done first!" "Run as fast as you can.
Wang Jing was so angry that he scolded: "You are too heavy and light on friends, right?" ”
He knew that Yang Lin was really close to hitting the street. (To be continued.) )
