On March 8th, the Chinese New Year movie was drawn, and various theaters have replaced with new films. The period from March 9th to the end of March is special, for 20 days, the front is the Chinese New Year stall and the back is the Easter stall, and generally the good show will not be painted at this time, but this year is an exception.

"Good Boy" was finally released under the anticipation of many student parties, and on the first day of the release, many middle school students were absent from class, just to go to the Shaw Brothers Cinema to have a look, and to brag to their classmates after returning to school.

This drama did not disappoint them, the cheerful rhythm and funny plot made the audience laugh and have fun, and the way the good boy cheated in the exam opened the eyes of many student parties. Back to school after their publicity, more and more student parties poured into the theater accompanied by their parents, and the theme song "Good Boy" has also become one of the most popular songs in the school.

In a high-end café in Causeway Bay, Chen Ping'an, Wu Yusen and Xu Ke sat together, drinking coffee and chatting.

Wu Yusen has been very low-key since returning to Hong Kong, pondering the script at home every day, conceiving every scene in his head, and basically not contacting insiders. This afternoon, he received a call from Xu Ke, who asked him to meet at the Causeway Bay Cafe, and he informed Chen Ping'an again, and the two came to the café together.

Suddenly seeing Wu Yusen and Chen Ping'an walking together, Xu Ke was stunned for a long time, but Shi Nansheng touched him before he reacted. After the waiter brought coffee to Chen Ping'an and Wu Yusen, Xu Ke asked, "It seems that you are ready to join Dark Horse International?" ”

Wu Yusen and Xu Ke have a good relationship. At the beginning, he was the director of Golden Harvest, and was asked by Golden Harvest to direct comedy movies and not touch other genres. The year before last, he joined Xinyicheng at the strong invitation of Xu Ke, thinking that he could make his ideal movie, but he knew that joining Xinyicheng became the beginning of his defeat Huarong Dao, and it was several years after he left.

"I didn't want to hide it from you......"

"But you still haven't told me! I didn't even know that you came back from Taiwan, and if I hadn't talked to a friend in Taiwan on the phone two days ago, I wouldn't have known that you had returned to Hong Kong! ”

Chen Ping'an took over the conversation: "Director Xu, don't be angry, I asked him not to contact anyone." ”

"Why?"

Shi Nansheng reacted quickly: "Could it be some kind of propaganda method of yours again?" ”

"Sister-in-law is so smart! A big director like Lao Wu joined our Dark Horse International, and this kind of epoch-making event will naturally make a sensation. ”

Great Director...... Epoch-making significance......

Well, Xu Ke and his wife have a very good relationship with Wu Yusen, but they don't think these words have anything to do with him, don't you see Wu Yusen himself blushing?

They all thought that this was Chen Ping'an's joke, Xu Ke glared at him and said to Wu Yusen: "Why don't you come and help me, my studio has not been established for a long time and lacks manpower." ”

If it had been before, Wu Yusen would definitely agree, but now ......, "No, I decided to join Dark Horse International and follow Mr. Chen." ”

"Why?"

"Because he understands me."

With just one sentence, Xu Ke knew that it was impossible for Wu Yusen to help him, but he didn't understand why Wu Yusen would say that Chen Ping'an understood him. You must know that Chen Ping'an is only in his early twenties, with such a big age gap, how can he say "understand me"?

Shi Nansheng suddenly asked, "He opened a play for you?" ”

Wu Yusen nodded: "It's my ideal type." The idea was Mr. Chen's, and he helped me create the script. ”

"How much to invest?" Xu Ke was worried that his old friend would be deceived, the script was false, and the investment was real, but Wu Yusen's answer made him stunned: "The initial budget is 12 million." ”

Twelve million? This is definitely a big deal!

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng glanced at each other, and the former asked Chen Ping'an: "Twelve million?" ”

"That's right, the initial budget of 12 million is not enough. You don't have to doubt it, I am very optimistic about Lao Wu, tomorrow the newspaper will report that he signed a contract with our company, and this summer vacation will be his first step towards glory. ”

Wu Yusen has been silent for several years, but he has been touted so high by Chen Ping'an, he can't help but make Xu Ke suspicious. But the investment of 12 million made him unable to doubt Chen Ping'an's motives, no one would take this amount of money to waste, the only explanation was that Chen Ping'an came for real this time!

Xu Ke really wanted to read the script. What kind of script made Chen Ping'an invest a lot of money, and let Wu Yusen say things like "he understands me". But this is not in accordance with the rules, he can only endure the curiosity in his heart to congratulate Wu Yusen, and send blessings to his old friend for a good future.

The four chatted for a while, Chen Ping'an proposed that he would like to have the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Ke in filming in the future, Xu Ke hesitated, and Shi Nansheng agreed for him. Chen Ping'an knew that Xu Ke had concerns, so he didn't say more, and when "The True Color of Heroes" was released this summer, Dark Horse International would completely make a name for itself in the Hong Kong film industry, and it would be easy to talk about cooperation at that time.

The next day, the crew of "Women's Heart" started, this drama is Guan Jinpeng's debut film, and he is very interested. used his connections to borrow staff and filming equipment from the Shaw Brothers studio, and invited Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong, and Miao Qianren to play the leading roles, and Zhang Manyu also played a role in the play.

With the completion of "Police Story", the media's interest in Dark Horse International has decreased significantly, and Kwan Jinpeng is only a rookie director, so there are not many media at the opening ceremony. However, this is the second drama of Dark Horse International, whether Dark Horse International is a meteor in the film industry or can become the second new art city, this topic can attract some media.

The boot ceremony is very routine, and there is nothing remarkable about it. The three leading actors, that is, Zhong Chuhong, can attract the attention of reporters, and the TV series made by Zhou Yunfa and Miao Qianren, a couple on the screen, are very popular, but they really dare not compliment making movies, and most of the movies starring Zhou Yunfa are not popular.

Seeing that the media reporters were not interested, after the opening ceremony, Chen Ping'an suddenly announced that Dark Horse International would sign one of the best directors in Hong Kong today, which immediately attracted the attention of all reporters, and thought that Chen Ping'an had poached a popular director from a film company, but he saw Wu Yusen appear next to Chen Ping'an.

The reporter was in an uproar, and someone immediately asked directly: "Mr. Chen, when you say 'one of the most outstanding directors in Hong Kong', is it referring to director Wu Yusen?" ”

"That's right! Mr. Ng Yu-sum is definitely one of the best and most talented directors in Hong Kong, and his joining Dark Horse International is of great significance to the company. I know that reporters and friends think that I am grandstanding, and I won't explain too much today, just wait and see, this summer vacation will prove my words, this year's summer vacation is destined to belong to Dark Horse International, belong to Wu Yusen! ”

Summer vacation? The reporters reacted quickly, and at that time, someone asked whether Dark Horse International was preparing to invest in a drama, directed by Wu Yusen.

"That's right, the most important drama of Dark Horse International in the first half of this year is directed by Mr. Wu Yusen, and the Hong Kong box office record will also be refreshed by him, you can wait and see! In addition, I can tell you that the budget for this play will not be less than 12 million. ”

Large-scale zuò!

The reporters were as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and they kept asking one question after another.

But when they learned that the protagonist of the play had not yet been chosen, they lost interest. Who wouldn't be able to play tricks, isn't this a fun game for reporters and inappropriate reporters?

Such a result makes reporters more convinced of Chen Ping'an's grandstanding, but it doesn't matter, as long as it has news value, especially most of the reporters who come to the opening ceremony are tabloid reporters, they pay more attention to the explosiveness of the news, whether they can attract the attention of the public and increase newspaper sales, so no matter what sensationalism.

When someone asked what would happen if Chen Ping'an couldn't do it, Chen Ping'an directly filmed "Police Story" again, and turned the bet with the reporter over: "If I can't do it, I will jump off Victoria Harbor naked in public!" ”

The opening ceremony of "Women's Heart" was turned into a solo show by Chen Ping'an, and the actors on the side were eye-opening.

Zhong Chuhong and Miao Qianren stood aside and whispered, looking at Chen Ping'an, who was "boastful", from time to time, with a strange smile on their faces.

Zhou Yanfa walked up to Guan Jinpeng: "Director Guan, your boss is really wonderful." ”

"Brother Fa, our boss said that if you do it, you will definitely be able to do it, don't underestimate him."

"Really?" Zhong Chuhong leaned over, "He can say that he will break the box office record, 30 million, but it's not that easy, maybe he is really going to jump into the sea." ”

"He won't!" It was Zhang Manyu who spoke, "30 million is just a small meaning to him, don't forget that last Christmas, it was our boss's "Police Story" that broke 30 million at the box office for the first time!" ”

Zeng Zhiwei also starred in this play, and he also came to the opening ceremony today, he was very curious about Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Manyu's confidence in Chen Ping'an, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you worried at all?" ”

Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Manyu looked at each other and smiled: "We believe in him, everyone in the company believes in him!" ”

At the end of the opening ceremony, the reporters attending today returned satisfied, and tomorrow's entertainment newspaper has explosive news, and the sales will definitely increase greatly; Chen Ping'an is also very satisfied, although it is difficult to escape the suspicion of grandstanding, but "The True Color of Heroes" has been promoted in advance, and "Women's Heart", a drama with no news points, will also be on the entertainment version, which is also a kind of publicity, I hope that after the release in the future, the box office will be more.

Chen Ping'an stayed in the crew for a day, not because he couldn't trust Guan Jinpeng, but because he was the producer of this play, it was necessary to appear in the crew, and he could also observe Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong's acting skills up close and whether they met his requirements. These two people are related to the results of Dark Horse International this year, and the latter is even more important, and this year's huge funding gap falls on Zhong Chuhong - at least 100 million, US dollars!

On the first day, the crew finished work relatively early, and it was not yet seven o'clock when Chen Ping'an drove back to Longxiangyuan, when he received a call from Dwarf Niu.

"Boss, Huang Rong is dancing with Zou Shilong again tonight, and she is blowing up the disco!"
