180 "Tai Chi Grandmaster" went to the mainland
November 10, 1988, this day was recorded in the history of the Hong Kong film industry.
According to the laws of Hong Kong, films intended for release or distribution on videotapes or CDs in Hong Kong are required to be sent to the Film Censorship Division (hereinafter referred to as the Censorship Division) under the Hong Kong Film, Television and Entertainment Affairs Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Censorship Division) for grading, and approved by the Director of the Film and Television Division, which will classify the films into I., II. and III. according to the age limit of the audience.
As soon as the classification system came out, it was a mixed bag in the film industry, with those who agreed and those who opposed.
"Oh, in this way, "Fang Shiyu" also has to be submitted for review." Wei Jiahui looked at the grading system with some pain, pouted and asked Zhang Jin: "If you say that you want to give a class III. rating, how much box office will we lose for no reason!" ”
Zhang Jin smiled and said: "If you say "Raid" or "Slaying the Wolf", it may be Class III., "Fang Shiyu" is given to Class II at most, and the impact of classification on the box office is actually not great, but it can promote the rapid development of Class III films, and next year's film production may break through a record high." ”
Wei Jiahui didn't know much about the film industry, so he nodded and didn't say anything at the moment.
At this time, Chen Shaohua knocked on the door and came in and said: "I just got the news that "Black Sun 731" produced by Yindu Organization has been rated as the first third-level film on Hong Kong Island, this is the first third-level film in the Chinese entertainment film industry, which has cross-era historical significance, and Yindu asked us to interview in the past." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jin reminded: "It's best to send a male reporter over." ”
Chen Shaohua didn't know what to do, and asked suspiciously: "Why?" ”
Zhang Jin rubbed his nose and said: "Because the special effects they make are very realistic, some human body test pictures are unbearable, such as the dissection of a person immediately after anesthesia, and the heart taken out is thumping and jumping......"
"Hey, don't talk about it, it's too infiltrating!" Chen Shaohua said goodbye with goosebumps.
"That's what you say. Instead, I'm looking forward to the movie. Wei Jiahui smiled and said, "How about going to see it together when it is released?" ”
Zhang Jin said: "Look at yourself, don't drag me." ”
"Okay, I've been resting for nearly a month and a half, and if I don't get paid for nothing, I'll be upset, do you have any errands for me?" Wei Jiahui said very consciously.
Zhang Jin said with a smile: "The "Tai Chi Grandmaster" that we cooperated with the eighth master is going to the mainland to shoot in the second half of the year. You're the producer, so let's keep an eye on the progress and quality of the shooting. ”
Wei Jiahui nodded again and again: "No problem!" ”
Zhang Jin continued: "Ding Xiaowei will go over in advance to discuss the cooperation process, will monitor the movement of funds with the group, you have to do a good job of relevant cooperation, and don't have any conflicts with the mainland." ”
Wei Jiahui frowned and said: "We're just going to shoot a TV series, what kind of conflict can there be, it's so backward over there now." ”
Zhang Jin smiled bitterly and didn't explain, and said in his heart Now you say so. When mainland film and television develop in the future, hundreds of filmmakers will collectively go north to beg for a living!
It is to take advantage of the immature stage of exploration of mainland film and television, so that it is good to intervene in the past to cooperate, and by the way, to contact the Hope Project or something, and erect a memorial arch for Jinlong in the mainland.
In late November, the day before "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi" went to the mainland for filming, Zhang Jin summoned all the crew members, main and secondary actors for a farewell party.
At the meeting, Zhang Jinsan's orders were emphasised on various requirements and discipline, especially when cooperating with mainland personnel. Don't have any colored eyes, and don't have regional discrimination. When it is necessary to hire local extras, there is no room for any surprise with the local staff in terms of salary and living conditions, and they must be treated equally.
More than ninety percent of the crew are Hong Kong people, and seeing that the boss said it so seriously, he also thought that the boss was originally a mainland talent. Although I was a little disapproving, I still listened carefully, who made the family the boss, and the rules set by the boss had to be followed.
After the meeting ended, Li Lianjie came to Zhang Jin. With a smile on his face, he said, "I didn't expect you to think it so thoroughly." ”
Zhang Jin waved his hand and said: "Aside from the identity that you and I are both mainlanders, from the perspective of businessmen, we have to cooperate in the past to make money harmoniously, of course, what happened to you back then gave me a lot of inspiration to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past." ”
Li Lianjie suffered unfair treatment when filming "North and South Shaolin", and the actors and staff of the Hong Kong and mainland sides could not balance their salaries and meals, which eventually led to a quarrel or even a fight between the two sides, that is, from then on, Li Lianjie was destined to be unsatisfactory in the Xiangjiang film industry.
Referring to the past, Li Lianjie sighed with emotion, "It would be nice if I met an open-minded boss like you at that time." ”
"Huh." Zhang Jin smiled and said something serious, "You have a certain reputation in the mainland, and Ding Xiaowei, an executive of the company, has gone to the mainland to discuss cooperation matters, and by the way, he will also cooperate with the official to launch the Hope Project charity activities, as well as a series of issues such as the import of our film and television works, videotapes, and songs to the mainland, I hope you can help at that time." ”
"Don't worry, I'll fully cooperate." Li Lianjie shoots boobs guaranteed.
Zhang Jin smiled and nodded, Li Lianjie is a big star in China, although he has not made a movie in the past few years, but he still has some influence in China, and it is better for him to come forward to pull the strings than Ding Xiaowei to touch nails like a fly without a head.
The next day, Zhang Jin and Chen Shaohua came forward and personally sent the "Tai Chi Grandmaster" and his party to the mainland, and when they came back from the pass, Chen Shaohua said: "It's almost the end of the month, and the agreement between you and Zhang Xueyou is almost here, do you think he can insist on reforming?" ”
Zhang Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be much of a problem." ”
"I've also read the script, if you really can't do it, you can star it yourself, I feel that your image and temperament and onion head are quite suitable." Chen Shaohua teased while driving.
"It's okay for me to act, can you play Yu Qiunan?" Zhang Jin responded with a smile.
Chen Shaohua hurriedly pouted and said: "Forget it, since you fooled me into the cover girl of the first issue, I am nervous when I see the camera now, and I can't make a movie in my life." ”
"When we were filming "I'm Kind" in Rome before, the reporters you made cameos in it were still clear-eyed."
Chen Shaohua said: "That's acting in your true colors without knowing it, once I know that I am in a state of acting, I will immediately faint, but your acting is still very promising." ”
"Liar, I'm a scumbag in acting."
Chen Shaohua said: "Really, I watched the "Raid" video recorded by the company a few days ago, and found that you are still a little talented, just like you sing, a little training, you can definitely get a big improvement." ”
After three months of construction, the videotape has been scripted for assembly operation conditions, and the films such as "Raid", "God of Gamblers", "Gambling Saint", "Slaying the Wolf", "Fang Shiyu" and other films, "I am kind" TV series have all been produced, and have begun to cover Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia for comprehensive distribution.
Ding Xiaowei's project to negotiate in the mainland this time also includes the release of video tapes and audio tapes, and it is still unknown whether it can be negotiated.
However, there is still plenty of time left for Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin believes that after several contacts, it is still very promising to knock on the channels of the mainland.
After returning to the company, Zhang Jin squatted in the office to learn English with Zhou Mengshan, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, Zhang Jin, who performed well in the script and other aspects, really suffered an old sin when he learned English.
Zhou Mengshan didn't expect the boss's English foundation to be so scummy, and patiently laid a foundation for him, even so, it made the two of them tired enough.
Fortunately, at this time, the phone on the table rang, an internal line.
"Boss, can you come to my office, there is something you need to confirm."
The call came from Liu Jialing, Liu Jialing's office is also on the second floor, and Zhang Jin is east and west...... What are you doing~
Zhang Jin entered Liu Jialing's office with a broken heart, "It's just two steps away, what's wrong with not being clear on the phone, do you have to come over in person?" ”
Liu Jialing glanced at him and said, "There is a blue-eyed vixen squatting in your office, and I feel uncomfortable watching you and her eyebrows." ”
"Please, forget about eating Zhang Min's vinegar, why don't you even eat Zhou Mengshan's vinegar, I'll learn English with her." Zhang Jin couldn't cry or laugh, "Say, what the hell is going on." ”
Liu Jialing put a contract on the table and said with a smile: "This is the contract of Zhou Huimin you want, I just signed it at noon, how about it, I did a good job, right?" ”
Zhang Jin picked it up and looked at it, and the English characters in front of him were a little dazzled, but after seeing that the last signature was Zhou Huimin, Fang nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, I signed three artists as soon as I took office, and the results are outstanding." ”
Liu Jialing held her chin and smiled: "People are so diligent, is there any reward?" ”
Zhang Jin said: "Yes, I will add 100 yuan to your salary this month." ”
Liu Jialing said: "Cut, it's not sincere, it's better to stay with me for one more day a month." ”
Zhang Jin nodded and said, "This is a good idea, I will accompany you for 20 days in the future, and I will only pay you 10 days' salary!" ”
"you!" Liu Jialing scolded with a smile: "There is a man like you who lacks heart." ”
"Don't be greedy." Zhang Jin said with a smile: "At the end of this year, your task is relatively leisurely, if nothing else, signing Zhang Xueyou over can be regarded as a complete task." ”
"Ah, isn't he a Polygram singer? You're digging into the corners of Polygram! Liu Jialing was surprised.
Zhang Jin advised: "At present, there are only four people who know about this matter, and you must do a good job of confidentiality." ”
Jokes aside, Liu Jialing is still quite responsible at work, and nodded busily: "Don't worry, my little man." ”
"Looking for a fight!" Zhang Jin stepped forward.
"Hey, what are you doing, this is an office, and someone will come in at any time." (To be continued......)
