Chapter 140: Dude only plays the classics

"Shaw Brothers Cinemas" was bought by Yang Lin, and then reorganized into "Red Star Cinemas", which is tantamount to putting a big bomb in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and the people who blew it up turned on their backs, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle.

Although the pattern of the three major cinema chains has not changed, it has attracted enough amazement and attention, just because of Yang Lin's words at the press conference for the establishment of "Red Star Cinemas": "There are good scripts and no funds, come to me; If you make a good film, there is no theater to schedule the film for you, come to me. I am willing to contribute to the future of Hong Kong films and the future of Chinese films. ”

Could it be that Yang Lin's "Red Star Pictures" intends to be both an investor and a publisher? For a long time, Hong Kong's major cinema chains have been screening films produced by their own film companies in pursuit of maximizing profits. Even if the Golden Princess Cinema Line does not have its own film company, it is still by supporting its subordinate satellite companies to occupy shares. And Yang Lin is even more simply, as long as you have a good film, I will release it for you. So does it mean that the spring of reading power production has arrived?

For Yang Lin's words, few people believed it. "There is a script but no funds", do you want to invest the lion's share? "If you have a good film, you will be arranged", what is a good film? It's not just what you say. Most people think that it's just a gimmick, this young man just wants to show his presence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it's all empty words.

Yang Lin didn't care, and he didn't have time to deal with this group of media. The formation of "Red Star Cinema Line" is very simple, just move the management team of "Shaw Cinema Line" as a whole, but change a general manager: Chen Baixiang. This big-eyed boy has been very unsatisfactory recently, and he is all playing tricks with the Shaw Brothers on wireless and playing some small roles. Yang Lin was very confident in the ability of this big-eyed boy known as "Zhila", and he also wanted to pull his brother, so he recruited him to "Red Star Cinema" as the general manager, which moved Chen Baixiang. has been shouting "Tan Yilin is my little wife, you Yang Lin is my little three", Yang Lin is not light, and the word "little three" has appeared this year?

The film scheduling contract of "Shaw Brothers Cinema Line" has been scheduled until the middle of 85 years, during which Yang Lin cannot schedule films by himself, because the contract stipulates that after Yang Lin takes over "Shaw Brothers Cinema Line", the film scheduling contract signed by Shao Yifu must be fulfilled. Yang Lin is also happy to be relaxed, otherwise he will have to worry about the source of the film from now on.

Ke Shouliang walked into the café, his eyes swept around, and he saw Yang Lin sitting in the corner. With a delicate and handsome face, half-length and not short hair, sitting quietly and comfortably sipping coffee and listening to music, just like a college student in school, people can feel a comfortable feeling of youth and tranquility at a glance, where is the momentum of a big celebrity in the entertainment industry? He strode over and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry to keep Mr. Yang waiting." ”

Yang Lin got up and shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, just call me Ah Lin, sit." ”

Ke Shouliang sat down and asked the waiter for coffee, and said to the door: "You are a busy person now, I don't know what to teach a little person like me?" ”

Yang Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say it so ugly. Since you are so direct, Brother Xiaohei, then I will say it directly. I have set up a new stunt team, and I want to invite you to join Brother Xiaohei, I don't know what I think? ”

Ke Shouliang can be said to be the leading stunt master in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and being able to pull him into the gang will be of great help to the strength of the stunt team.

Ke Shouliang was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm in Jiahe now, doing stunts for Cheng Long, it's not good to leave." To be honest, he was indeed a little moved by Yang Lin's invitation. Just look at the use of special effects in the film "Assembly", and you can know how much Yang Lin attaches importance to special effects. This man is willing to spend money, dare to spend money, if you can cooperate with him, it must be a very pleasant thing. But Ke Shouliang is very righteous, and he has received too much favor from Cheng Long and Zou Wei, so he can't do such a thing as changing jobs, so he can only politely decline.

Yang Lin made no secret of his regret and sighed: "I've been following you for a long time, and it's really a pity that I can't work together." "The biggest characteristic of Yang Lin is that no matter what he thinks in his heart, what appears on his face is a sincere and sincere expression, which makes it easy to believe what he says. Besides, now he really regrets it in his heart, this is a cow.

Feeling Yang Lin's pity, Ke Shouliang was also very enthusiastic about Yang Lin's attention, so he said: "I also watched the "Assembly" you filmed, it's really great, no one in Hong Kong can shoot it." If you trust me, I can introduce you to a person who is not below me in the art of speeding, and it is even more rare that he can even play explosives very well, I am not good at this. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Yang Lin was very curious about the character that Ke Shouliang touted so much.

"His name is Luo Lixian, and he is a newcomer, but the technology is definitely not new, and there are few people in Hong Kong who can compare to him."

"Luo Lixian?" Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, this is the next goal of the buddy, and immediately smiled: "Okay, since it was recommended by you Brother Xiaohei, then let him come and report directly to the 'Red Star Pictures'." ”

Ke Shouliang was very surprised, Luo Lixian is just a stunt stand-in now, full of talent and unknown, it stands to reason that Yang Lin should not have heard of this person's name. But Yang Lin directly said that he was hired just because of his own words, which is not only a respect for him, but also a trust.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Hong Kong is so big, I think there will be a chance to cooperate with you, Brother Xiaohei." ”

Ke Shouliang nodded heavily: "I'm looking forward to it." ”

**********

didn't win over Ke Shouliang, but unexpectedly got the news of Luo Lixian, and it is expected that this stunt master network, which is more comprehensive and younger than Ke Shouliang, will have a little bit of a taste of lost harvest in the east.

When he returned to the office of "Red Star Pictures", he saw Wang Jing's fat body sitting on his boss's chair, which was overwhelmed, and seemed to fall apart at any time as Wang Jing shook and creaked.

"Hey, why are you here, have you been idle lately?" Yang Lin was quite surprised. Now that Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been sold to him by Shaw Yifu, the films of Shaw Brothers Film Company, which had already been put on the agenda, must step up production, and strive to release them before the original film scheduling contract expires. Otherwise, when Yang Lin officially takes over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, it will not be Shao Yifu's final say on the film schedule of the cinema line. Although Yang Lin will definitely sell Shao Yifu's face for the works of the Shaw Brothers, with Shao Yifu's status, I am afraid that Yang Lin will not be given this favor.

Wang Jing's small eyes were rolling for a while, and he said, "Yes, I was fired by the sixth uncle, and I wanted to ask you for a bowl of rice." I just don't know if your small temple can accommodate my big Buddha? These words were a statement that Wang Jing thought about and thought about for a long time. In front of Yang Lin, he has always maintained an equal mentality, but now if he wants to work under others, he is three points shorter. But his self-esteem is troublesome, even if he is three points shorter, he doesn't want to say his original meaning directly.

Yang Lin looked at him funny, and his mouth was full of slurp: "It's really a big Buddha, it's a fat Buddha." He sat down on the desk with half of his buttocks, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Wang Jing, and said with a smile: "What, figured it out?" ”

Wang Jing lit a cigarette silently on Yang Lin's lighter and did not speak.

"Hehe," Yang Lin looked at Wang Jing with a smile, "I know what you're thinking now." ”

"Are you the roundworm in my stomach?" Wang Jing rolled his eyes.

Yang Lin spat out the smoke ring comfortably, and said leisurely: "The news from the mainland hasn't come yet, do you know how much the mainland box office of "Assembly" has now?" Converted to Hong Kong dollars, it will immediately reach 100 million! Counting before and after, the profit of this movie is definitely more than 20 million. If you have moved in before, you will receive at least 5 million. Five million, someone doesn't know how much black work they have to do to earn five million? Twenty films? Or thirty? ”

Wang Jing had already blushed his face, not because he was angry with Yang Lin, but because he regretted it. I blame myself, why didn't I talk to Lao Dou earlier? Missed out on this great opportunity. He took the opportunity to send all this evil fire to Yang Lin's head, and said fiercely: "The villain has a will!" ”

Yang Lin didn't care, and made a thoughtful gesture: "Oh, by the way, my theater still lacks a projectionist, do you want to be wronged, and give in for a while?" ”

"Hey, Yang Lin! Don't overdo it. Anyway, I'm half your benefactor, right? Tell me, how much did I do for you with all that bullshit, ah? Projectionist? I'll let you fart! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs? I, Wang Jingyushu, Ling Feng, am a natural genius, so you have to give me an assistant director," said the two of them, laughing together.

Yang Lin laughed and patted Wang Jing's shoulder: "You should have come a long time ago, you want to save face." One person and two brothers, what's so embarrassing? ”

Wang Jing was a little embarrassed by Yang Lin's words, and his fat face was slightly red: "I have rejected you several times, and now I am always a little embarrassed to come over again." ”

"Since you're embarrassed, why didn't you go to Golden Harvest or New Art City? With your Wang Fatty's ability, and Uncle Tian Lin's connections behind him, which one is not rushing to keep you? Yang Lin looked at Wang Jing with a smile and said.

Wang Jing's small eyes blinked, and he suddenly smiled, laughing happily and easily: "What are you kidding, if I really go to be there and sing against you, you kid still have to cry and run to my house to cry?" My mom was going to beat me up. ”

Ever since Wang Jing had the idea of leaving the Shaw Brothers, he had never thought about anyone except Yang Lin. Wang Jing attaches great importance to this relationship with Yang Lin, and he also knows that Yang Lin is the same. Although "Red Star Pictures" is a little smaller, what does it matter if brothers can work together?

"Recently, I'm preparing a new film, you will be the assistant director first, and when the theater is on the right track, I will open a new play for you."

Wang Jing was happy when he heard the new drama and asked, "What kind of film are you preparing?" ”

The corners of Yang Lin's mouth curled: "Of course it's a big production, every movie is a classic." (To be continued.) )
