Chapter 327: Sell Clothes
"Why haven't you made a movie ...... in recent years?"
Yu Yunkang was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Li, isn't being a producer the same as making a movie, isn't it all the same bowl of rice." ”
"That's different, as long as you can coordinate and supervise the producer, and the director ......" Li Xuan let out a long breath and said: "The director is the soul of a crew and a movie." ”
“……”
Li Xuan is indeed a little sorry for Yu Yunkang, this guy is a good at making horror movies, and as a result, he wasted nearly three years or so in the film production business. Hong Kong's golden decade is only three or three years, and this guy will grind on the production business, and when he wants to make a movie, he can't find anyone to watch it.
It is a pity that the representative of the New Wave has fallen so far.
Besides, Li Xuan still lacks someone to make horror movies. However, Yu Yunkang is also one of the bosses of Century Pictures, so it is inconvenient for him to say these digressions. But it would be a good thing to stimulate Yu Yunkang's ambition and let him release a few horror movies in his theater.
"Haha, Mr. Li, Lao Yu has always wanted to be a director, but you know that our century, small companies are busy." Seeing that the two sides were a little cold, Liu Zhenwei laughed on the side.
Li Xuan smiled helplessly, then looked at the two and said, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, I just think it's a pity that Mr. Yu is not a director." But it's okay to be a producer, it's a service for the crew. By the way, Mr. Liu, you've been playing movies for so many years, don't you want to get started with it yourself? ”
"Well, no, no, no." Liu Zhenwei hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "I have been playing movies for many years. But I don't know how many millimeters of film is in the camera. How can you really play this. ”
"Forehead ......"
Li Xuan felt very strange. Liu Zhenwei's later fame was much better than Yu Yunkang's, but how many people know that this guy didn't want to be a director at all? As for how he became a director later, it is not for Li Xuan to know.
In short, creation makes people.
Li Xuan and the Century duo got together for a while, and then left to continue wandering around the banquet hall. The Century Duo, who had just finished talking, muttered in a low voice again.
"Ah Kang, you really don't plan to make a movie?" Liu Zhenwei asked with a chattering expression.
Yu Yunkang thought about it and said helplessly: "It's not a question of whether to make a movie or not. We don't have much money to spend. ”
"Uh......" As soon as Liu Zhenwei heard this, he immediately became speechless.
Don't look at Century Pictures' prospects in the early 80s, the prospects were very good, and a series of acclaimed and popular movies such as "Murder List", "Marginal Man" and "Killing Out of Xiyingpun" were produced, but its film roots were not deep, and a "Youth on Fire" by New Wave director Tan Jiaming at the end of 1982 made it lose a lot of money.
Fortunately, the previous savings did not make the century really bankrupt.
But the result was that Liu Zhenwei and the two took a whole year to relieve Century in 1983, and Century Pictures, which produced at least three or four movies a year in the past, only released one movie in 1983, and this movie called "Blood in Blood" was actually filmed in 1982.
In other words, Century Pictures never opened a camera in 1983.
However, the 1983 movie called "Blood in Blood" did not bring good luck to Century Pictures. It only got a box office of about one million. Although this movie has fewer stars than "Youth on Fire" and the cost is lower. But this data still made them lose money.
The current box office of one million is not as good as before, at least it has been filmed behind the 90s of the Hong Kong box office list, how can you not lose money.
Although Century Pictures is a film company invested by a financial company, 1983 was the worst moment of the Hong Kong stock market crash, so the parent company of Century was also seriously affected and was unable to rescue Century Pictures. So until now, Century has been supporting itself with its previous foundation, Liu Zhenwei and Yu Yunkang gritted their teeth and scraped together some funds to make two movies, intending to fight a real turnaround.
Now the hopes of the two of them can all be placed on the two movies in Wanda's source library.
If the two movies win, it's okay to say, if they lose ......, Liu Zhenwei shuddered inexplicably, and now at this moment, if the movie loses, and the parent company doesn't come to his senses, the death of the century will really fall.
"Ahh
Liu Zhenwei glanced at the staggered scene in front of him, then looked at Yu Yunkang and said: "Ah Kang, you said in case, uh, I mean in case, in case the century falls, what are you going to do?" ”
"The century has fallen?" Yu Yunkang, who was drinking alcohol, was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "If the century really falls, I won't be able to do movies, and I won't be able to do anything other than this." It's just that at that time, I didn't be my own boss, but to help others work. ”
"Uh......" Liu Zhenwei paused and replied with a smile: "That's too." ”
Yu Yunkang suddenly asked, "What about you?" ”
"Me?" Liu Zhenwei was stunned for a moment, blinking his little eyes.
"yes!" Yu Yunkang nodded, filled himself with wine and continued: "In case the century falls, what are you going to do?" ”
"I-" Liu Zhenwei sighed, looked up at the ceiling and said, "I don't know how to film, and I don't even know what film to put in the camera." I've been a producer for several years, but if I can bring down a company, no one will ask me to be the head of the company. If you are a screenwriter, the money is too little, and it is not enough to support the family. yes, what will I do if the century falls? ”
Yu Yunkang was silent for a while, and only after half a sound did he sigh: "You think so ......."
"Smack-"
Liu Zhenwei slapped his thigh violently, and said in a huffing voice: "Yes, I can go sell clothes then!" ”
"Selling clothes? Where did you come up with such an idea that you can't beat with eight poles? Yu Yun asked dumbfounded.
Liu Zhenwei said with a smile: "How can you not beat the eight poles, isn't there a person named Chen Baixiang in the loser band, who sings and acts, and sells clothes and sells tens of millions of net worth." This is all a lesson from the past, I have to follow him and learn hard. ”
"That ......" Yu Yun paused and kindly reminded: "That Chen Baixiang, it seems that he lost all his net worth in the end." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Liu Zhenwei waved his hand and said indifferently: "I don't have a big goal like him, if he earns 10 million, I will earn half and 5 million, and if I earn it, I will collect the mountain and enjoy the blessings." ”
I'm ¥#@......%*~&+―!
Yu Yunkang was speechless for a while, he really felt that although Liu Zhenwei's administrative ability was good, he was really stunned when doing business. If he sells clothes, he will probably lose both of his bodies.
But thinking that this was all a joke between the two, Yu Yunkang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and drank Liu Zhenwei's words with a glass of wine in front of him.
Just when the two of them were frowning at their company, Hong Jingbao's table was not very quiet. However, it was not Hong Jingbao or Pan Disheng who was the one who picked up the words, but Yuan Dart, who ranked third in the Hong family's class.
"Brother Sanmao, I, I'm ......" Yuan Dart hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and continued to whisper: "I have something I want to tell you." ”
Hong Jingbao, who was talking to Pan Disheng, was slightly stunned, and then asked quietly with a straight face: "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's ......" Yuan Dart glanced at Pan Disheng, then stood up and whispered, "Can we go to the side and talk?" ”
"Let's go."
Hong Jingbao nodded, then stood up and confessed to Pan Disheng, and then walked straight to a no-man's corner with Yuan Dart. Yuan Kui, who was sharp-eyed at the same table, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then as if he understood something, he quietly stood up and followed behind Hong Jingbao.
"Ah Kui, why did you come with you?" Hong Jingbao turned around and looked at Yuan Kui behind him and asked in surprise.
"He'll follow, anyway, ......" Yuan Dart was so entangled that his brows furrowed, and he paused for a while before continuing: "Anyway, what I said is also related to him." ”
Hong Jingbao was even more surprised at this time, looked at his two junior disciples, and said with a straight face: "Now there are no outsiders, you can talk about it, let's say, what do you two have to do so strictly?" ”
Yuan Dart and Yuan Kui glanced at each other, there seemed to be a little struggle in their eyes, and Hong Jingbao on the side was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the two junior brothers to give the next step.
After half a ring......
The older Yuan Kui finally couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "Third brother, Ah Dart and I want to open a film company by ourselves." (To be continued......)
