There are four prime times in the Hong Kong film industry every year, Spring Festival, Easter, Summer Vacation and Christmas.

In next year's Spring Festival, it has been set to be released "Home Alone" directed by Chen Ping'an. During the Easter schedule, Dark Horse International's convention is literary films, mainly with two major literary film directors, Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Wanting.

However, literary films are different from commercial films, and they are not more sophisticated, which is diametrically opposed to commercial films. Neither of them has a very good book next year, and after watching the book "The Story of Ah Lang", the two have no opinion on the release of this movie on Easter.

The problem with this movie is the lead actors. Zhang Yijia said that although he is the general manager of Dark Horse International Film Company, it is not a problem to find time to film. The biggest problem is Zhou Runfa. If he wants to shoot two movies in the first half of next year, "The Story of Alang" and "God of Gamblers 2", it will inevitably affect his development in the United States.

"Then according to Brother Xiang's construction, the filming of "God of Gamblers 2" will be postponed. Sister Ai Jia, when you go back, you contact Brother Fa and make an appointment with him to shoot "Ah Lang's Story". ”

"No problem." Zhang Yijia nodded, "What about the salary?" ”

"According to the value of the United States." Chen Ping'an replied very happily, he didn't care about money. Just like when Zhang Yijia summarized the company's profits last year, he was distracted and began to think about what way to prevent the engagement reception between He Chaoqiong and Xu Jinheng scheduled for New Year's Day next year.

"Wang Jing and Du Qifeng's problem was solved, Xu Ke asked again: "Boss, I heard that you promised Golden Harvest that we won't make Huang Feihong series of movies next year?" ”

"That's right. One a year, isn't it annoying? ”

"But there is a market for the Wong Fei Hung series of movies! How can you give it to Golden Harvest? ”

Xu Ke is currently a bit of a bottleneck and can't find a particularly satisfactory script. It is also difficult to create on your own. He's still worried about the special effects studio, so the creative side of the film will definitely be affected.

The Wong Fei Hung series he has already filmed handy. It's not bad to get a third part next year. to a director of his level, the local box office of each movie. will enjoy additional dividends.

"Do you have a proper notebook?" Chen Ping'an asked.

"Nothing particularly satisfying at the moment."

"Look at this." Chen Ping'an took out a script from the text in his hand and pushed it in front of Xu Ke.

"Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu"?

After a cursory reading of the script, Xu Ke frowned.

He's not the kind of person who is like a crowd or a supremacist, and as a director, he has his own ethics. Therefore, even if this book was taken out by Chen Ping'an, the style of the storyboard script in it should be from Chen Ping'an, and he is not optimistic.

Since Dark Horse International launched "Once Upon a Time" last year, it has created a new style of martial arts. It immediately attracted a lot of follow-up films. These follow-up films don't care much about the new line, they care about the theme of Huang Feihong.

Therefore, many small companies have produced a number of movies with the theme of Huang Feihong, because they are not new-school martial arts movies, and there are no martial arts stars like Li Lianjie to join, so most of them are very miserable, and they have not had a bad impact on "Huang Feihong".

This summer, Golden Harvest and Dark Horse International launched a series of Huang Feihong movies at the same time, and they were released at the same time to directly confront, and Huang Feihong's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chen Ping'an's "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" and "Huang Feihong" are similar in type. The success rate of this transformation is only very low, and may even be zero.

"Is this okay?" Xu Ke said his inner voice.

"Old Monster Xu, are you worried that I will smash my name as a gold medal screenwriter?"

"......"

"Needless to say, you can shoot this book. As long as you shoot according to the book, if you smash it, count me, but I have to set a few main actors for you. ”

In "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu". It is very important to have three actors. starring Li Lianjie, needless to say; The second is the child star period, which was praised as China's Xiulan by Hong Kong and Taiwan fans. Deng Boer's Xiao Fangfang, although she played Miao Cuihua is a supporting role. But the role is very heavy, and it also shoulders the heavy responsibility of being funny; The third is Taiwanese actor Chen Songyong. plays Lei Laohu, although there are not many scenes, but his domineering is not a cute performance, which is memorable.

Compared with these three, Hu Huizhong, who plays Mrs. Lei, is slightly inferior, and Li Jiaxin, who plays Lei Tingting...... That's a vase, just change to a young, beautiful and popular female star...... It should be fine.

Chen Ping'an pointed out the names of the five actors one by one, and everyone present realized that Chen Ping'an was very serious this time. Because I did my homework a lot, even the actor candidates were finalized. Just like Chen Songyong, except for Zhang Yijia, who is more familiar with him, everyone else knows very little, and some people have not even heard of it......

At this time, Xu Ke didn't insist anymore.

He's an old freak, but not an idiot. Chen Ping'an's emphasis on this drama can be seen from Cheng dù. The company's newly promoted actress Li Jiaxin, who is ready to be promoted, plays the heroine in the play, how can Chen Ping'an be a child's play?

Referring to Li Jiaxin, Chen Ping'an put forward a suggestion: the company's focus next year, in addition to ensuring that those stars who have become popular continue to maintain their fame, should focus on cultivating several male and female stars.

Wang Jing immediately gave a "I know" look, old people like Guan Jinpeng, Dwarf Niu, and Zhang Ziyang began to look at each other and snickered, Zhang Yijia and Xu Ke sighed helplessly, and the others ...... Just as if nothing was heard.

The female star must be Li Jiaxin, which can be figured out with her toes. The same thing that can be figured out with the toes is the relationship between the two. However, this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, and Chen Ping'an has never been less than a woman around him, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Among the actors, Chen Ping'an emphasized that in addition to continuing to make Andy Lau popular and consolidating Li Lianjie's status as the number one star, he also cultivated two new film newcomers - Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, which made everyone present stunned.

Everyone here knows both of them. Wu Mengda is a veteran actor, and he has matured much now, and the popularity of the show "Love Letter" has reached a higher level and is loved by many audiences.

Some time ago, I followed Chen Ping'an to the mainland to film, and the director did not participate in the recording of two episodes of "Love Letter", and many viewers either called or wrote to the TV station to express their love for Wu Mengda and hoped that he would come back soon.

Wu Mengda has also acted in movies, but they all appear in funny supporting roles, there is no problem with his acting skills, his attitude is no problem, and his popularity is also no problem, but his age still has an image...... He is no longer the suave Hu Tiehua of the past, but the current Da Ge.

Zhou Xingchi was from wireless when Chen Ping'an joined ATV, and got Chen Ping'an's attention, and starred in "He is from Jianghu" and two other TV series not long after coming to ATV, and the response was not bad.

But he has never acted in a movie, and he lacks the handsomeness and handsomeness of Andy Lau, so making the two popular as one of the company's policies next year is a bit of a joke?

In the face of everyone's opinions, Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the opinions are not unanimous, we can wait until the Chinese New Year, after the release of "Home Alone", it will be decided according to the audience's reaction." ”

Not only that, Chen Ping'an has a lot of Hong Kong films that he plans to start filming next year.

The Spring Festival file "Home Alone" has been completed; The preliminary work of "Jurassic Park" is almost ready, the construction of the theme park in Qiao Tsui Chau is completed, and filming can start early next year, and it will be released in the summer vacation; plus the thunderous romance movies that can't be beaten next Christmas, these are three.

Chen Ping'an made a Hong Kong film this year, and the Golden Horse Awards swept by Dark Horse International were broken monopoly, and the situation will definitely be different next year with three films.

What everyone didn't expect was that Chen Ping'an will not direct three Hong Kong films next year, but four! He is also preparing to make another "Gambling Saint", starring Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Min, Wu Mengda, Wu Junru and others.

This is an iron heart to make the two of them popular!

Do Zhou and Wu really have that much potential?

"Boss, when is "The Saint of Gambling" scheduled to be released? Summer vacation? Wang Jing asked.

The movies directed by Chen Ping'an have always been scheduled to be released on prime time. Next year's four major schedules, except for the summer vacation, there are still vacancies, and the other schedules have been arranged for movies. But if "The Saint of Gambling" is also released in the summer vacation, there will be two gambling films in the three films of Dark Horse International...... There is no such arrangement.

Chen Ping'an shook his head with a smile: "Brother Xiang, don't worry, I plan to release "The Saint of Gambling" in October, and it will be staggered with your "Supreme". ”

"October?"

"It's okay, don't forget that "Bloody Heroes" was also released in November."

Movies released in prime time often have an advantage at the box office, but with the increasing prosperity of Hong Kong films, movies released in ordinary schedules, if they are good enough, will not disappoint at the box office.

Just like this year's Hong Kong film industry, the box office of some movies is higher than that of some prime-time movies. In the final analysis, the box office depends more on the quality of the movie.

After finalizing the films to be prepared for next year, the meeting continued, and finally ended in the excitement of everyone's discussion and dividends. The dividends of Dark Horse International Film and Television are really the envy of all peers.

Just ordinary employees at the grassroots level can receive 14 months' salary, and they will also receive different bonuses according to their work situation, which is almost equivalent to 15 months' salary, not to mention these pillars of the company who directly create profits!

The employee turnover rate of Dark Horse International Film and Television Company is very low, because the welfare package is super good, and a large number of social personnel will come to apply for a rare recruitment every year. If it weren't for the fact that the number of employees recruited every year is very small, only twenty or thirty, other film companies would have protested - you are so corrupt and corrupt, we can't live anymore?

After the meeting, a few more people exchanged some things with Chen Ping'an alone, and by the time they were done, it was already half past five in the afternoon.

After drinking saliva and relieving his breath, Chen Ping'an asked his secretary Amy to inform Qiu Shuzhen to come to his office.

He promised Qiu Shuzhen to shoot "God of Gamblers 2" next year, Qiu is the heroine, but now he is discredited. As a particular person, you need to give Qiu Shuzhen an explanation, don't you? (To be continued......) R1292
