Chapter 24: Brave the New Art City

When Hong Kong films are mentioned in later generations, it is absolutely impossible not to mention the New Arts City Film Company, which played a dominant role in the most glorious decade of Hong Kong films. The most glorious time of New Arts City was also the peak period of Hong Kong films.

In the 80s, the new art city film company single-handedly forced the old oligarchy Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to join forces against the new art city in its heyday, which can show how strong the new art city was at that time.

At that time, Hong Kong films were also due to the three-legged reason, which made Asia a market for Hong Kong films to ravage and make money, and even Europe was affected, and "Hollywood" also sank in Hong Kong.

Li Yihua remembers that even if it weren't for the decline of Hong Kong films themselves, even if it weren't for the decline of Hong Kong films themselves, it is foreseeable that Hollywood movies in later generations would not necessarily sweep the world movies like that!

In this era, the influence of Hong Kong's movie stars is definitely far greater than that of later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers Asia and mirrors Europe and the United States. At that time, holding a world tour was a real world tour; Unlike later generations, singing once in Hong Kong and Yanjing is considered a world tour!

Now that the new art city company has been established for almost four years, this brilliant film company has also completed the initial stage, which is the rising stage!

Li Yihua looked at the various staff members hurrying around him, looked at the 20-story high-rise building in front of him, took a deep breath, and confidently walked into the building. Among the many signboards, I found "New Art City Film Co., Ltd."

"Sir, who are you looking for?" Seeing Li Yihua walking towards his company from the elevator, a delicate girl with light makeup and eye shadow on her face, wearing a typical light gray shoulder pad suit in the 80s, stood up from the front desk with a smile, and greeted Li Yihua with a sweet voice.

This delicate girl kept looking at Li Yihua in her eyes, and her eyes were full of curiosity. Xinyicheng has been established for almost four years, and there is a lot of business, and it is the first time that she has come to the door without taking anything, which makes this girl curious.

"Hello, is your company Mecca here? Excuse me, beauty, please help me report it. Li Yihua smiled and showed his clean little white teeth, and said with a friendly smile.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady asked politely.

"Nope." Li Yihua said with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't let you in without an appointment." The front desk lady smiled professionally.

"Beauty, it doesn't matter, you just say that Li Yihua is visiting, and it has nothing to do with you if you don't call in." Li Yihua did not embarrass the front desk lady and took the initiative to explain.

"Hey, manager, there's a guy named Li Yihua outside, and Mr. Li wants to see the boss." The front desk lady asked, "Well, I see, I'll do this right away." ”

This "beauty" was really good, which made the front desk lady blush, and the front desk lady called and brought Li Yihua into the company.

Li Yihua walked into the company, only to find that the scale of the new art city company is really large, and I saw many staff members working non-stop along the way, and it was generally lively and extraordinary, worthy of being a big film company. In later generations, large companies are just like this, Li Yihua walked in and did not attract anyone's attention, it is obvious that everyone is used to it, everyone is only busy with their own affairs.

The front desk lady sent Li Yihua to the door of the office, and then stopped walking, looking at Li Yihua with a smile and bowing his head and saying shyly, "Sir, this is the office of our boss in Mecca, please inside"

"Thank you, beauty." Li Yihua smiled at the girl and nodded. Li Yihua's words made the girl shy for a while. She only felt that the big boy in front of her laughed very naturally and confidently, which made her a little shy.

Watching this girl leave quickly, Li Yihua pushed the door directly and walked into this Mai Jia office.

As soon as Li Yihua walked in, he unexpectedly saw a seven-member creative team composed of Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin, which startled Li Yihua and couldn't help but gasp.

The "Struggle Group of Seven" is all here, is this the legendary "Struggle Release"? But in later generations, the struggle house should be in the villa in Mecca, right? Is there a misunderstanding? Li Yihua thought puzzled.

The large gathering of seven people surprised Li Yihua, but his eyes immediately looked at the structure of the entire office. The office is very simple, with a dark solid wood desk, a milky white typewriter on the top of the office, and a small bookshelf behind it, which is messy, in addition to books, there are also some awards, photos, car models, which look very messy, but you can also see some of the owner's preferences.

Li Yihua keenly knew through the photos that Mecca should be a man who attaches great importance to his family and likes cars very much; As can be seen from the certificate of merit, Mecca received the honor at NYU.

Mecca and the other six sat on dark couches, smoking cigarettes, frowning and pondering what was going on. Suddenly seeing Li Yihua walk in, the seven people looked over in surprise, their eyes revealing curiosity.

"You are the famous Mr. Li Yihua, do you have anything to do with me?" Mecca touched her bald head, looked at Li Yihua with a smile and asked.

Mai Jia looked at the man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him, Li Yihua in front of him gave him a very peculiar feeling, and he always felt that the young man in front of him had an unusual feeling, although he seemed to be restrained and low, but it was as if there was a sharp blade hidden in his calm body.

Seeing Mecca asking, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, and Teddy Robin also stared at Li Yihua and looked at him, not knowing what was going on with this young man, they all looked at Li Yihua with doubts in their eyes. The seven people looked at themselves in unison, and suddenly there was a pressure rushing towards Li Yihua, but Li Yihua's face remained unchanged, he still looked natural and free, and his temperament was indifferent, which made several people's eyes shine.

The seven people got together for next year's script and started to communicate together, which is the most famous "group of seven" in later generations, that is, the seven of them will only collide, and one by one extraordinary creative scripts continue to appear. Who would have thought that these seven people would bring a "big bang" storm to Hong Kong films, and excellent movies were quickly formed among these seven people, and even later filmmakers had to admire the efficiency of Hong Kong films at that time.
