Huang Yulang, whose early pen name was Huang Xuansheng. He is a famous cartoonist in Hong Kong, the godfather of the Hong Kong comic industry, and the founder of Yulang International, the largest comic publishing group in Hong Kong. His comics are not only very popular in Hong Kong, but also in Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

This kind of figure who has a deep influence in the cultural world is certainly worthy of being greeted by several bigwigs in Xinyicheng.

However, when they heard that Huang Yulang wanted to invest in making movies, the three high-level executives of Xinyicheng were still a little stunned, and several of them began to think carefully in their hearts. After a long silence in the reception room, Mai Jia asked hesitantly: "Mr. Huang, it shouldn't be difficult for you Yulang International to make a movie, I remember that you have done it before." ”

"Haha, I did make such a film before, but ......" Huang Yulang smiled slightly bitterly before continuing: "But a big reason for making a movie at that time was just to promote our own magazine. And I'm not the material for making movies, so the movie only got more than one million box office, which is a small loss. ”

The movie in the mouths of several people is the "Dragon and Tiger Gate" produced by Yulang International when Li Xuan and Wang Jin took "Scary" to Golden Harvest in 1979, and this movie is also a film written and directed by Huang Yulang.

In the middle of 1979, Huang Yulang, who had been drawing cartoons for many years, had sufficient funds on hand, so he immediately founded Yulang International Co., Ltd. and began to work for himself. In order to promote their Yulang International, Huang Yulang even took out his fist product "Dragon and Tiger Gate" comic book adaptation movie, and even found the famous Hong Jiaban at that time to be the martial arts finger.

In the end, this "Dragon Tiger Gate" got a box office of more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars. This data is in that era when a large amount of money was still to be paid. Certainly did not lose money as Huang Yulang said. But there is basically no money being made. Therefore, after Huang Yulang tried the deep water of the film industry for the first time, he decisively withdrew from the film market and focused on the comic industry for five years.

It's just that now, Huang Yulang obviously wants to kill back.

As a senior filmmaker, Mai Jia could not know the movie market in the 70s, and he would definitely not believe Huang Yulang's nonsense. However, he did not expose it to his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, there are not 100 companies playing movies in Hong Kong now, but 99. As long as you Yulang International make a statement to invest in making a movie, the companies and directors in Hong Kong who want to make this film are estimated to be able to line up from here to Central, so why bother with your boss Huang personally going out. ”

"Haha, although there are many film companies in Hong Kong, how many of them make good movies?" Huang Yulang laughed heartily and continued to reply briskly: "Don't hide it, the movie I invested in this time is a bit literary, and whether it makes money or not is a matter of two words, so I have to be cautious." ”

"Oh?" Huang Baiming was surprised, and then straightened up and asked, "Mr. Huang." Can you show me the script first? ”

Huang Yulang nodded, turned his head slightly and said, "No problem." Shao Yuan, take out the script and give it to the three big bosses to appreciate. ”

The big boss spoke, Wen Shaoyuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out a script from his briefcase and handed it over. As soon as Huang Baiming took over the script, Teddy next to him? Robin also stuck her head over, and the two began to read the script together. Only Mai Jia continued to sit there indifferent, as soon as he heard the words 'partial literature and art' just now, half of his interest in the script was gone, let alone go to Huang Baiming and Teddy again? Robin squeezed through the script.

There were only three big words "I Do" on the cover page of the script, Huang Baiming swept it over, opened it directly and read it.

This movie, called "I Do", is really a little bit more literary, telling a love story that seems a little bloody now.

Ann, a wealthy girl, was pampered since she was a child, and after returning to Hong Kong after studying in the United States, her father forced her to work in a flower shop on her own. As a result, Ann met the second male who was an employee of the photo studio opposite the flower shop, and the second male also fell in love with her at first sight, but unfortunately the second male never had the courage to pursue Ann. Of course, at this time, it's time for the second man's good friend and the male protagonist to appear on the scene.,This male protagonist has done a lot of things in order to match the second male and the female protagonist.,But somehow he got along with the female protagonist later.。 Love is naturally inadmissible, the hero and heroine are still together, but unfortunately this love is strongly opposed by Ann's father. Of course, the final ending is naturally under the great inspiration of love, and the dick silk man worked hard, and finally won the beauty.

This Nima's whole drama is a dick man as the CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and walking on the rhythm of the pinnacle of life!

Of course, this is a reduced plot synopsis, many of the scenes of love in it are described very beautifully, and some of the things that the male protagonist does to match the second male and female protagonists are also full of jokes, and the plot of the whole script looks very relaxed.

In short, this is a warm comedy, which is not bad.

"This script, not bad." Huang Baiming gave the same definition after reading the script briefly, although at this time he was still a little surprised that Huang Yulang did not adapt the comic book to make the script.

On the other hand, Huang Yulang's face was happy and said, "What are the three bosses going to do?" ”

"Does Mr. Huang really plan to find us to make a joint venture to make a movie?" Huang Baiming's hand loosened slightly as he spoke, and the script was replaced by Teddy next to him? Robin took it.

Huang Yulang nodded and responded: "Yes, don't talk about funds, as long as Xinyicheng can agree to me a request, I will cover all the funds for the filming of this movie, you just have to pay for the labor, and when the time comes, we will split the account between the two of us." ”

The three bigwigs of Xinyicheng were slightly stunned, and then glanced at each other, now in this golden age of the film industry, is there still this kind of good thing to pick up money? As for whether the movie can make money, they are still very confident in themselves, because in the past two years, Xinyicheng has not made a loss-making movie!

Even if this "I Do" doesn't sell well at the box office by then, don't forget that it's just a warm comedy, with little investment, even if it loses, it won't lose much.

Making money or something, they like it the most.

So Mai Jia, the biggest boss of Xinyi City, immediately asked, "Mr. Huang, what are your conditions?" ”

"Haha, it's easy!" Huang Yulang laughed heartily, patted Wen Shaoyuan on the shoulder and said: "The actor of this movie, I want Shaoyuan to play." ”

"What ——!"

"Mr. Huang, this ......"

"Brother Lang, I can't!"

“……”

As soon as Huang Yulang's earth-shattering words came out, the other four people in the living room were stunned, and only after half a sound did they exclaim. Especially Huang Yulang's handsome follower Wen Shaoyuan, he didn't expect that he could run such a thing with the boss today, so he hurriedly waved his hand next to him and said: "Brother Lang, I can't, no, I'm a comic painter, how can I know how to act, you might as well kill ...... if you let me act."

"!" Huang Yulang interrupted Wen Shaoyuan's words in a vicious voice, and continued with a bit of hatred for iron and steel: "How can anyone be born to act, don't you just learn, there are so many teachers in Xinyi City, can't you still learn?" That's stupid. ”

Looking at Wen Shaoyuan, who was blushing and thick-necked, Huang Yulang let him go for the time being, then looked at Mai Jia and the three of them and said, "Three bosses, this request of my Huang is not too much, right?" ”

This request, uh, is indeed not excessive.

The investor wants to install a few people as actors in the movies he invests in, which has been an easy thing for all times. Unless film directors and producers are so powerful that investors can't afford to offend, they will reluctantly give up these rights.

Huang Yulang is a person who can be on an equal footing with the three bigwigs of Xinyicheng, and he is the full investor of this movie, so there is no problem at all in choosing his own person as the leading actor. As for Wen Shaoyuan's lack of acting skills, don't think too deeply about this thing. "Happy Ghost", "Father and Son Love" and "Pretty Girl" are these movies, which are not all newcomers to star, and in the end they are not popular and popular.

Mainly, you find a director who can be trained.

And the director, there will be no shortage of new art cities that have gradually become larger, so Mai Jia hurriedly replied: "It's not too much, it's not too much, a few of our current film actors are from professional classes, and it's not that they don't know anything at the beginning." Mr. Huang can rest assured that he will hand over the person to me, and he will definitely return you a very wonderful movie when the time comes. ”

"Haha, then Huang will thank Mr. Mai first." Huang Yulang arched his hand, and looked at Teddy who was still reading the script meaningfully? Robin said: "It seems that Mr. Robin likes this script very much, then I can rest assured." ”

"It's a really good script, and I like it very much." Teddy? Robin closed the script and replied with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Huang saw it, all the senior executives of our new art city approve of your script very much." Mai Jia interjected a sentence next to him, and continued with his hands dancing: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the first half of the year, I have taken care of the production of this movie, Mr. Huang, don't worry!" ”

Huang Yulang only felt that his eyes lit up, and then laughed loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Boss Mai is responsible, I'm 10,000 at ease!" (To be continued......)
