Chapter 43 - Prying the Corner
Chapter 43 Prying the Corner
"What do you think of this man?" Zou Wenhuai talked with Zhang Yi for a while, then left, entered a VIP private room, and asked He Guanchang next to him.
He Guanchang naturally knew that the person in Zou Wenhuai's mouth was referring to Zhang Yi, and then said: "This son is talented, young and old, and his heart is extremely firm. β
Zou Wenhuai nodded, Zhang Yi became famous at the age of sixteen, and the popular Cheng dΓΉ is as good as some first-line stars, but he is calm, and if his heart is not firm, he will go to the sky if he is afraid of looking for it.
"Do you think he will become a fierce rival of Golden Harvest?" Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked.
He Guanchang glanced at Zou Wenhuai, the two had worked together for many years, so he naturally understood why Zou Wenhuai asked this, it was because he felt Zhang Yi's threat, and he couldn't recruit him, so he started to suppress him.
The script written by this son has a very high commercial value, and the cumulative box office of the three movies in Hong Kong is nearly 100 million. As for the movie, I will only know after his "Nightclub" is released. However, even if he runs a film company and does not have a cinema chain in his hands, he cannot talk about a threat to Golden Harvest. His background is too poor. What's more, looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be interested in opening a film company. He Guanchang thought for a while and said.
"The Shaw Brothers are no longer a Zhang Yi that can be reversed, so he goes to the Shaw Brothers and can't threaten Jiahe. But if he goes to Xinyi City, I'm afraid," Zou Wenhuai said, and now he is resentful and worried about the repeated rejection of Zhang Yi.
"Shaw Yifu spent his energy on TVB, and Shaw Brothers gradually reduced production, with Zhang Yi's current situation, it should be impossible to join Shaw Brothers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly written scripts for Sanmao and them. If you want to join the Shaw Brothers, it is estimated that after "Baby Zhiduoxing", you will already be in. I didn't have much contact with him, but I also felt that Zhang Yi didn't like to be restrained. He Guanchang said, "As for the new art city, it is even more impossible." Listening to Sanmao, when he wrote "Baby Zhiduoxing", the first thing he found was Xinyicheng, but Xinyicheng's dislike was too young, he didn't read the script, and he humiliated Zhang Yi. Moreover, he also met Shi Tian at that time. He threatened that they would regret it. β
"Huh! Xinyicheng is afraid that it will regret it a long time ago. Aren't the two parts of "Best Partner" crushed to death by the two parts of "Baby Zhiduoxing"? If they had read Zhang Yi's script at that time," Zou Wenhuai said, but he couldn't go on.
There is no doubt that if Xinyicheng had read the script of "Baby Zhiduoxing", then the top four at the box office would now be occupied by Xinyicheng. That is undoubtedly something that Golden Harvest is unwilling to accept.
It's a pity that in the film company that rejected Zhang Yi at the beginning, Golden Harvest was also among them. For this reason, Zou Daheng also copied the reception staff, and stipulated that if someone submits in the future, no matter who comes, the script must be reviewed.
"I don't know if the people who invited Xinyi City will come this time?" He Guanchang said again.
"Probably will? However, Shi Tian is not expected to come. I heard that the people in the new art city now have a lot of opinions about him. Zou Daheng thought of this and was in a happy mood.
"I guess the biggest opinion for him is Boss Lei." He Guanchang also smiled and said.
Inviting the new art city, Golden Harvest undoubtedly has a demonstrative and disgusting intention. Zhang Yi's matter was copied by the media, and the fact that he was rejected by more than a dozen large and small film companies with "Baby Zhiduoxing" was naturally exposed.
Although Golden Harvest is among the dozen or so film companies, he and Zhang Yi have now cooperated in two movies and saved a lot. And the new art city is more sad, one is because Zhang Yi was the first to find it, and the other is that the senior management of the new art city directly refused.
Rejected by the reception staff below, this can also be said that the level of those reception staff is limited, and they have eyes and do not know gold and jade. But as a high-level executive of a film company, he actually refused what was within his reach, and this slap was undoubtedly a bit harsh. The impact is also a bit bad.
And Cheng Long and others seemed to understand the purpose of inviting the people from Xinyi City, so when Xu Ke and Mecca came on behalf of Xinyi, they were directly led by Cheng Long in front of Zhang Yi, and then introduced them "kindly".
Zhang Yi glanced at the two thin men in front of him, one with a bald head and the other with a beard. Who is who, he naturally knows.
"It's been a pleasure to meet both. I didn't expect that I, Zhang Yi, also knew two big names in the film industry. It's a great honor. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Whether Xu Ke or Mecca are in the film industry at this time, they are indeed relatively famous, and their status is not low. When it comes to big shots, it is estimated that it is still a little worse. The one who can really be called a big man is afraid that in addition to Shao Daheng, it is Zou Daheng. is the boss of Xinyi City, Lei Juekun, I am afraid that compared with the previous two, I am afraid that it is a few points worse, after all, the first two started with movies and are relatively more professional.
Therefore, Zhang Yi, the "big man", is somewhat ironic. Whether it was Mecca or Xu Ke, they naturally heard the high threshold of the sarcasm in Zhang Yi's words.
Mecca and Xu Ke glanced at each other, a little wry and a little angry. Zhang Yi has not been in the industry for a long time, but after all, where are the achievements. Although he is only a screenwriter, which screenwriter can do what he does.
"Huh! We're some kind of big guys. People like Mr. Zhang are the big names in the film industry. Tens of millions of screenwriters, not everyone can do it. Xu Ke smiled and said.
Tens of millions of screenwriters, this is what the media pressed for Zhang Yi. The three movies have an average box office of more than 30 million, and the commission is more than 10 million, which is worthy of the name.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the movie to be so simple, I, a Form 5 student, actually played with him." Zhang Yi smiled and said without modesty, it was nothing more than a sarcasm of what Shi Tian told him at the beginning.
"You'd better go back to study! Movies are not as simple as you think! β
"I heard that there will be a new film released in Xinyi City soon, and I am looking forward to it." Zhang Yi smiled and asked.
When Mecca and Xu Ke heard this, their expressions moved, it seems that this guy on the other side has a lot of opinions about Shi Tian. Xinyicheng recently completed a movie, which is Shi Tian's self-directed and self-starred "Prying the Corner". The screenwriter and producer are Huang Baiming, and the producers are Shi Tian and Mecca.
"I'm also looking forward to Mr. Zhang's movie!" Mecca's eyes narrowed, and then she said. He naturally heard from Zhang Yi's words that Zhang Yi meant to fight, and naturally he would not show weakness.
"I heard that the movie is called "Corner"?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile. Zhang Yi knew that the box office of that movie was not bad, after 10 million, it ranked seventh in the box office list of 83 years in the parallel world.
"Not bad!" Mecca said dryly.
"As the saying goes: as long as the hoe is played well, there is no corner that cannot be pried! I don't know if the protagonist in the movie was born as a farmer, otherwise he wouldn't have played the hoe into a corner? Zhang Yi still smiled and said.
As long as the hoe is played well, there is no corner that cannot be pried!
Farmer? This girl seems to be sarcastic about Shi Tian, huh?
Xu could see that the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger, and then said: "Hehe, Mr. Zhang wants to know, when the time comes, you will definitely be invited to participate." β
"Huh! Thank you very much. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, and my small-budget movie that I wrote, directed, and invested in by myself will also be released at that time! Of course, if you can participate, I would welcome you! β
The post-production of "Nightclub" is basically completed, and the publicity does not need to take much effort at all, and this movie has long been hyped because of the scandal between Zhang Yi and Zhong Menghong.
As for the movie directed and acted by Shi Tian in Xinyicheng, Zhang Yi learned about it from Wang Fatzi. So, he was targeted.
Because of "Baby Wisdom and Stars", "Nightclub" was very well taken care of in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. Originally, Shao Daheng wanted to fight with Golden Harvest's "Plan A". But Zhang Yi naturally won't agree, after all, the box office of "Plan A" and he also get box office dividends, no matter who wins or loses in the two films, Zhang Yi will lose.
Shaw Brothers occupies the first and second place in the box office list because of "Baby Wisdom and Stars", which can be described as high-spirited. And I am full of confidence in Zhang Yi's film, after all, with Zhang Yi's current popularity and the audience's expectations for this movie, even if it is garbage, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.
Since you can't beat Golden Harvest, let's hit New Art City! This can be regarded as a narrow road, and Zhang Yi is also happy to see it.
