Chapter 14 Fat Man, Do You Want to Buy the Script?
Wang Tianlin saw that Shao Yifu seemed to have a good impression of Yang Lin, so he said tentatively: ""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to start, I want Alin to join the crew, how about exercising?" ”
Shao Yifu was slightly stunned, then said with a smile: "You are the producer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you have the final say in everything, I have no opinion." ”
Fang Yihua also smiled and said, "Ah Lin, you have to work hard and study hard." You know, your Uncle Tian Lin is the most powerful director and the most powerful producer of wireless. Not everyone has this opportunity, so be sure to take it. ”
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes"! Yang Lin's heart was boiling, there was such an unexpected gain, and the surprise fell from the sky! Hurriedly said excitedly: "Thank you Sixth Uncle, thank you Aunt Fang, thank you Uncle Tianlin." I will work hard to repay you for your kindness! ”
He is really excited, the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the highlight of TVB, a super big production, and the cast and crew are all elites of TVB. After that, this drama became popular all over the two sides of the strait, north and south of the river, and all the participants immediately doubled their value, and their qualifications rushed up on a rocket.
What is Yang Lin lacking most now?
It's not money, it's not ability, it's seniority!
After saying a few more words, Yang Lin and Wang Jing said goodbye and left, going to their seats.
Fang Yihua sandwiched a shrimp dumpling for Shao Yifu and asked, "You seem to like this kid very much?" ”
Shao Yifu looked at her with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Don't you like it?" ”
"Hehe," Fang Yihua smiled softly: "This guy is very good at pleasing women, but this won't be the reason why you agreed to let him join the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", right?" You, Shao Tycoon, are not such a sentimental person. ”
Wang Tianlin smiled: "It won't be for my face, right?" ”
Shao Yifu shook his head: "This Alin is very unusual, you see that he seems to be very excited on the surface, but his eyes are calm and calm, and he is definitely not the way he appears." A young man smuggled from the mainland, facing you Wang Tianlin and me Shao Yifu, is neither humble nor arrogant, and advances and retreats freely. I thought to myself that I would never be able to do it at this age. I appreciate this temperament, give him a chance, and give us a chance, and I can't be a thousand miles horse without tasting it. ”
Wang Tianlin admired: "I have always admired your vision, let's wait and see." ”
On the other side, the two sat down, Wang Jing excitedly patted Yang Lin's shoulder and praised: "Good job!"
As long as Shao Yifu falls into the eyes of Shao Yifu, if he does anything in the future, he will enter the sight of the wireless high-level, which is a blessing from heaven for a newcomer.
Yang Lin was also in a good mood: "I have today, thanks to you and Uncle Tian Lin." I don't thank you for the great grace, but look at the after-effects! "Who would have thought that when a good heart is said to be at a moment, it can form such a good fate?
Wang Jing waved his hand disapprovingly: "Because of my old bean's relationship, you have the opportunity to enter the wireless, that's right." is also because of my old bean, I can enter the eyes of the sixth uncle, which is also true. But if you can't help Adou, who can help you for a lifetime? Do you know why my old bean is so familiar with you in this part of the crew? He's watching you! There are many ways to repay his kindness, and if he is a person, if he does not recognize you, he will never speak to you in front of the sixth uncle. ”
Yang Lin nodded, knowing that what he said was true. What's more, if he Yang Lin is really incapable, what can he do if he joins the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? It's not just a miscellaneous one.
Be sure to show your ability in front of Wang Tianlin!
But how do you display it?
Yang Lin rolled his eyes, looked at the fat man in front of him, and thought about it.
Although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of Wang Jing, if they can achieve a win-win situation and take what they need, this small flaw will never become a moral burden for Yang Lin.
"What have you been up to lately? Making a movie? Yang Lin held the white sheath on the handle of the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Wang Jing, and asked casually. The silver teapot turned out to be really silver.
At this time, the waiter pushed the dining cart and put a three-layer iron lunch box on the table, it turned out that Wang Jing had already ordered.
What egg bacon tart, pork pie, corned beef bread, cucumber sandwich a whole bun, dessert with cherry muffins, tiramisu and so on, two people eat, enough to call four people.
However, he has a very good appetite for Yang Lin, and he already eats a lot.
Wang Jing said while eating: "Didn't you just finish filming a drama and wait in line for the release." ”
Yang Linqi said: "Do you still have to queue up for your movie?" "With the relationship between Wang Tianlin and Shao Yifu and the energy of wireless, isn't Wang Jing's movie released if he wants to be released first? Shaw Brothers Cinemas is so good?
Wang Jing pouted and said, "Do you know how many films Shaw Brothers makes in a year?" Do you know how many great directors there are in Shaw Brothers? Even if it's a film directed by my old bean, I don't dare to say that it will be released at any time, let alone me? If it weren't for the sharp decline in Shaw Brothers' production in recent years, it would have to be lined up for a year. ”
Yang Lin is certainly aware of this history.
In 1980, Run Run Shaw became the largest shareholder of TVB and became Chairman of the Board. During the same period, Shaw Brothers' film business continued to shrink and reduce production, and in 1985 it sold all theatrical chains to the newly established Debao Film Company under Dickson Poon, and in May 1987, Shaw Brothers announced that it would cease film production.
The primary pressure on the survival of Hong Kong's film companies is the cinema chain.
Several major cinema chains such as Shaw Brothers, Golden Princess, and Golden Harvest have basically monopolized film screenings in Xiangjiang. To a certain extent, as long as there is a theater release, no matter what kind of film, the box office will not be too ugly. On the contrary, you can't even release it, what's the use of shooting it well?
Golden Harvest produces its own films, and Golden Princess owns Xinyicheng, once Shaw Brothers withdraws from the film industry, his cinema chain will be the sweetheart of the whole Xiangjiang Film Company.
In the previous life, Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao co-founded "Debao" with the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.
Whoever can get Shaw Brothers Cinemas will become one of the overlords of the Hong Kong film industry.
Of course, Yang Lin also has the idea of buying Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But now until the end of '85, it's only two and a half years. How much power, what kind of influence, and how much money do you have to defeat Debao and buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas?
What's more, Shaw Brothers Cinemas can be said to be the half-life effort of the Shao Yifu brothers, and ordinary people are rich, and he may not sell them to you. Even if it is sold, he wants Shaw Brothers Cinemas to continue its former glory.
Yang Lin sighed, the time was too tight, it was too difficult, it was almost a dream.
Wang Jing ate a lot, and when he saw Yang Lin frowning and silent, he said strangely: "What's wrong, wrong appetite?" ”
Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "An opportunity to soar into the sky, you can see it, you can't touch it, it's depressing." ”
Wang Jing was very interested: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Can't tell." Yang Lin shook his head, now that he said that the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line was to be transferred, he must not be regarded as a madman? "Tell me about you, what's going to be the next movie?"
"Cut, mysterious fart." Wang Jing muttered dissatisfiedly. "The script I just talked about, "Born to Laugh Star"." Wang Jing wiped his mouth, took out a notebook from his handbag and put it in front of Yang Lin.
Yang Lin quickly ate his stomach, took a sip of tea, took out a cigarette, thought for a while, and asked Wang Jing: "Can you smoke?" ”
Wang Jing lowered his head and ate the cherry muffin, pointed around with one hand, and said vaguely: "It is stipulated that smoking is not allowed, but with so many tycoon bosses, the waiter does not dare to stop it." ”
Yang Lin glanced at it, and sure enough, the bad people were swallowing clouds and spitting fog, so he took out a cigarette and lit it.
The name of the script is "Born to Laugh Star". Yang Lin thought carefully for a while, and vaguely remembered that the film that Wang Jing is waiting for to be released now should be "Flower Heart", and the next film should be "The Frog Prince" to be released next year. Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by his crossing?
This drama is about a series of stories about a repairman in a repair shop who repairs a rich lady's sports car more and more badly.
The laughter is barely okay, but the plot is not coherent, the jump is too big, and the sense of stacking is too heavy.
Wang Jing also took a sip of tea and asked, "How is it?" ”
Yang Lin casually threw the script on the table: "Scum." ”
Wang Jing didn't get angry, but sighed and said: "I also know that this script is not very good, but there are only a few good screenwriters in Xiangjiang, and I don't know when I can write it myself." ”
Yang Lin smiled weirdly: "Why don't I sell you a script to ensure that you are a seller?" ”
Wang Jing's face was full of surprise, and he blinked his small eyes: "I'll pick!" Do you also write screenplays? ”
"Of course!" Yang Lin held a cigarette, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "Back then, we were called 'a flower in the rivers and lakes, and a famous sword and a ghost'......"
Wang Jing laughed: "Haha---- please, don't rob my lines, okay?" So there are a lot of girls like you? ”
"Hey! Don't mention it, brother, what a pure person I am? Yang Lin made a regretful statement: "Back in the kindergarten, everyone was young..."
"Wow Ka Ka Ka ..."Wang Jing laughed loudly, causing everyone to look at their table.
At the table next to him was a family of three, the little boy was seven or eight years old, took his mother's hand, and said a little frightened: "Mommy, that person laughs so horrible..."
His mother looked at Wang Jing very dissatisfied, and her eyes seemed to say: This is the Peninsula Hotel Tea Restaurant, how did you come in with such a lack of quality? The smile is still so ugly.
Wang Jing hurriedly pulled Yang Lin and fled in the eyes of everyone looking at the giant panda.
