Chapter 183: Everything is ready

"Colorful Lin Yazhen" is Wu Yusen's last film for Golden Harvest, and now he has terminated his contract with Golden Harvest and officially joined New Art City.

Wu Yusen and Huang Baiming and others have a very close personal relationship, and in the early days of the creation of the new art city, he also used the pseudonym Wu Shangfei to help the new art city film, but his biggest contribution to the new art city was to discover Xu Ke for the new art city.

Now Xu Ke has become the core figure of Xinyicheng because of several acclaimed and popular movies, and his wife Shi Nanqi has become the housekeeper of the entire Xinyicheng, but two years earlier, when Xinyicheng had just opened to recruit talents, he actually stayed away from the name Xu Ke.

The reason is that Xu Ke, as a cutting-edge director, likes to take the sword sideways in the subject matter of filming, and his works are applauded but not popular, and he often exceeds the budget, which is really not a good candidate for the new art city that is still in its infancy.

Or Wu Yusen patted his chest and packed tickets to Xinyicheng, Xu Ke will definitely be able to make a well-received movie, and finally Xinyicheng chose Xu Ke.

This time Wu Yusen joined the new art city, Golden Harvest was originally very angry, if it weren't for Lin Xi's entry into the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line that attracted everyone's attention, it is estimated that Golden Harvest would have pinched up with the new art city.

Wu Yusen is very welcome to join Xinyicheng, but how to place Wu Yusen is a problem.

Xinyicheng has now formed a fixed seven-person creative team, Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Zeng Zhiwei, Teddy Robin plus Shi Nanwei, everyone performs their own duties, and their positions have been fixed, and Wu Yusen helped the company a lot in the early days of the establishment of Xinyicheng, and it is not suitable for him to be a little brother.

Again, the owner behind the new art city, the owner of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, is not very fond of John Woo.

The reason is that Wu Yusen has not made any outstanding achievements in Golden Harvest over the years, and most of the films he has shot are petty fights, with the rapid rise of New Art City, Boss Lei's vision is also high, and Wu Yusen at this moment is really a little out of his eyes.

Another Wu Yusen jumped from Jiahe, this kind of thing would have been strongly welcomed by Lei Juekun in the past, but at this time it was a bit of a headache.

Lin Xi entered the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and Golden Harvest and Princess Jin were preparing to join forces to suppress this new competitor.

Lei Juekun was unhappy, and Mecca, Huang Baiming and others also thought about it.

In the end, Huang Baiming came up with an idea to let Wu Yusen go to Taiwan to open up new markets for the company.

At this time, the Taiwan market is still a big piece of the cake for Hong Kong films, after all, there are only a few million people in Hong Kong, and there are only 90 theaters in Hong Kong.

Especially at present, affected by the political factors of the Sino-British negotiations, the entire Hong Kong economy has been dragged down, and the film industry has of course also been dragged down, although there are constantly films to set new box office records, but the total box office of Hong Kong films in a year has not increased much, in this case, the role of the Taiwan market has become more and more prominent.

For many Hong Kong filmmakers, the Taiwan market is no longer just a big cake, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a lifeline.

Giving such an important piece of market to Wu Yusen to open up is enough to be worthy of his love for helping Xinyicheng back then, and at the same time it can open people, so that he doesn't have to be an eyesore under Lei Juekun's nose at this sensitive moment, which is a happy result for everyone in Xinyicheng.

Wu Yusen was also full of ambition before he left, and he believed that he would be able to make a big deal after he arrived in Taiwan, but Lin Xi knew that if history hadn't changed much, Wu Yusen would have lost money in making his first movie after arriving in Taiwan, and he was so scared that Xinyicheng didn't dare to look for him to film again, so he left him on the cold bench in Taiwan for more than two years.

In Lin Xi's view, Wu Yusen's failure in Taiwan is mainly because Xinyicheng will not employ people. Wu Yusen himself is not a good hand at making comedies, but Xinyicheng started by making comedies, and Wu Yusen has a lifetime of skills, but he can't show it.

"Colorful Lin Yazhen", as Wu Yusen's work before leaving Golden Harvest, can't talk about coping with things, but it is definitely not a well-made product, although there are two leading actors Xiao Fangfang and Xu Guanjie as signboards, but in Lin Xi's impression, the box office of this movie is not satisfactory.

In this way, whether it is "Little Life Afraid" of New Art City or "Eight Colorful Lin Yazhen" of Golden Harvest, there is no great threat to Oriental Film and Television's "Baby Plan" and "Crayon Little Life", which will be released on June 1st.

As for the strategy of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" used by the two companies, Lin Xi was not careful at all, in the eyes of Jiahe and Princess Jin, "Baby Plan" was his biggest reliance, but in fact, for Lin Xi, this was just the beginning.

This year, Lin Xi's goal is to win the top three in the top ten grossing movies of the year, and the top five next year, and the year after tomorrow, Lin Xi wants to make this list full of works from Oriental Film and Television Company.

Since Jiahe and Princess Jin are unwilling to cooperate, they must be ready to face the storm!

——

Lin Yanni pushed the door and walked into the office and saw Huang Zhan holding a landline and talking to someone on the phone.

Seeing Lin Yanni come in, Huang Zhan nodded at her, turned sideways into the microphone and said, "That's it, you give me three days to think about it, and then I'll reply to you, okay?" ”

"What, must give you an answer today, you're in a hurry! Okay, okay, I'll think about it and give you an answer in the evening. ”

Huang Zhan hung up the phone angrily, shook his head, and then changed his flattering expression to sit down in front of Lin Yanni.

"Where are we going to eat tonight, my dear?"

Lin Yanni put down the magazine in front of her, glanced at Huang Zhan, and then asked who he was talking to on the phone just now.

"Who else, Lin Xi's stinky boy, said that he wanted me to make a cameo in the movie he invested, you said that if you asked me to be a screenwriter or director or something, I might still think about it, I was too lazy to do such a low-level thing as acting, but he begged me on the phone, saying that there is no other suitable candidate now, let me save the emergency, I watched him stay in the company before, and for the sake of his father's face, I reluctantly agreed to him to think about it, and then give him an answer at night."

Huang Zhan proudly took out a cigar and lit it for himself.

Lin Yanni reached over, took the cigar out of his mouth, and threw it into the ashtray on the side.

"You're going to die if you don't brag? Why else Lin Xi begged you to act, I'm afraid you want to act, but you can't put it down, so you deliberately take a posture, worried that you will turn your head and end up beating chickens and eggs! ”

Huang Zhan was unceremoniously reprimanded and exposed by Lin Yanni, but he didn't dare to show her any face, and immediately defended himself: "Yanni, you misunderstood me by saying this, but I, Huang Zhan, is also famous and surnamed in Hong Kong, Lin Xi, this kid wants to invite me to make a movie, why do you have to come to see me in person to appear sincere, what does such a call mean?" ”

"What do you mean? That means you're not worth his visit! Lin Yanni closed the magazine in her hand and put it aside, "You really think of yourself as a great person, yes, in the newspaper and advertising world, you are a little famous, but when you go to the street and don't report your name, how many people can recognize you?" Therefore, people are self-aware, and if they are worried that they will not be able to act well and be ugly, they will say it clearly, is it useful to find these boring excuses for themselves? ”

Huang Zhan's expression froze there suddenly, his mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.

"If you are embarrassed to speak, I will tell Lin Xi for you, take a stand in front of a junior, and you are not afraid that others will laugh at you when this matter spreads!"

Seeing that Lin Yanni got up to call Lin Xi, Huang Zhan hurriedly took the first step to hold down the microphone.

"I'm not saying no, you let me think about it first!"

Lin Yanni glanced at him puzzled, "It's nothing more than agreeing or not agreeing, what's there to think about?" ”

"It's not as simple as you think."

Huang Zhan held Lin Yanni's shoulders, coaxed her back to her seat, and sat down with her.

"Do you know which movie Lin Xi is looking for me to make a cameo appearance in this time? It's the movie where Princess Jin withdrew and Mecca of New Arts City withdrew, Lin Xi wanted me to take the role of Mecca, if I agreed, it would be equivalent to getting on a boat with him, this time he took over the Shaw Brothers Cinemas in my opinion, I was really anxious, and if he waited for two years for his company to grow, it would not cause such a big backlash from Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, and now those two companies are standing and going against him in front of each other, and it seems a little irrational for me to go to this troubled water at this time. ”

Huang Zhan's implication was that he was not very optimistic that Lin Xi would be able to please too much under the siege of Jiahe and Princess Jin.

Lin Yanni followed up and asked: "Then if Lin Xi really encounters difficulties, will you help or not?" ”

Huang Zhan said without hesitation: "Of course you have to help with this, but isn't he still at that point?" ”

"Then have you ever thought about what the situation will be like in the future if Lin Xi withstands this time?"

Lin Yanni's words stopped Huang Zhan, if it was really like what she said, Lin Xi, who had the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line in hand, would be able to mix with Jiahe and Princess Jin on an equal footing no matter how bad she was in the future.

"Have you ever thought that helping Lin Xi at this time is equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow, and you will only help him when Lin Xi is developed, at most it can be regarded as the icing on the cake, which is more selling? That's all I have to say, you can think about the rest for yourself! ”

After Lin Yanni finished speaking, she got up to leave, but Huang Zhan hurriedly stopped her.

"Yanni, you've said so, what else do I have to hesitate about? I'll call Lin Xi and tell him that I played that role! ”

Seeing Huang Zhan reaching out to take the microphone, the corners of Lin Yanni's mouth couldn't help but curl up with an imperceptible smug smile.

Lin Xi just called her to beg for something, and it was finally done!
