Chapter 296: The Sunglasses King and Bodhi Ancestor

After the Japanese film company bought the movie, Han Jin also wanted to promote it in order to open up the Japanese film market. In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Japan to record.

He released two Japanese singles in November last year, and because they were both classic Japanese songs, they still achieved very good sales. Now taking advantage of the holidays, launching another Chinese New Year album is also the proper meaning of the title.

In addition to performing albums and promoting films, the beginning of the year is also the day when major music awards are presented in Japan. Han Jin released two best-selling albums and many best-selling singles last year, and also gained endless popularity in the Japanese music scene.

Therefore, this time, all major music awards in Japan have invited him, including the Japan Record Awards, the Japan Cable Awards, the All Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards and so on.

Although the latter two awards have similar names, they are actually two different awards. Because of the location of the event, it is also called the Tokyo Cable Awards and the Osaka Cable Awards.

The Japanese record industry is very good, in addition to these three authoritative awards, there are also the Song Festival Awards, the Best Singer Award, the Outstanding Music Award, etc., Han Jin alone has received more than ten invitations.

He went to Japan this time, because he also had to take care of movie promotion, so he could take people over. This has touched the hearts of many people.

Hong Kong actors all dream of opening up the Japanese market, so that their box office appeal is strong, and their salaries are naturally higher.

Cheng Long's film was a big hit in Japan, and the box office of "Cannonball Speed" reached more than 3 billion yen, which is converted into more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. has such a high box office appeal. It's no wonder that his salary for a movie can reach tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

However, because the number of places is limited, it is natural that not everyone has the opportunity.

Han Jin naturally chose Lan Jieyuan first, and then Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda.

Liu Qingyun and Wu Jiali had other scenes to film, so they didn't have time to go along.

……

Before going to Japan, Han Jin first took care of the affairs in Hong Kong.

Because the first film was a big hit, Yongsheng Entertainment Company made a name for itself in the Hong Kong film industry, attracting many filmmakers to vote.

There is no shortage of talents, directors, screenwriters, and actors in the Hong Kong film industry...... It's not everything. But it is also very wealthy. There are more filmmakers who are not aspiring. Now seeing that Yongsheng is so prosperous, I can't help but rush over.

Han Jin also wants to recruit some talents for his own use, and "Color is Empty" has been released. Now it's time to make a new film.

So in these days. He's been busy meeting these filmmakers. See who works and who doesn't.

Wang Jing has been in this circle for more years than him, and he knows more people than him. So I helped him make a reference on the side.

The first drama "Color is Empty" was a big sale, and Han Jin sealed a big red envelope to Wang Jing.

originally agreed on a director fee of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, but was later divided by Shaw Brothers with a commission of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then invited Huo Yaoliang to work on it, so Wang Jing only got 250,000 Hong Kong dollars in production fees.

Although this amount of money is already a lot, Han Jin knows that Wang Jing is a rare talent and wants to keep him in the company. In addition, this movie did make a lot of money, so he specially sealed a big red envelope of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to him.

The so-called money can make ghosts grind, Han Jin is so generous, which naturally makes Wang Jing very happy. This income is much more than what he earned in Shaw Brothers, so Wang Jing decided to follow Han Jin with all his heart.

When interviewing these people, Wang Jing also gave a lot of opinions on the side. Because he knows that it is easy to lose a family and it is difficult to build a family, Hong Kong films have been around for 50 years, and there are a lot of down-and-out filmmakers.

Some of them don't meet talents, and some of them are to blame, and it's okay if they really meet talents. In case I met just a trickster who cheated Han Jin's money to invest in movies, but it turned out to be a four-way thing. When the time comes, you will lose money, but you will lose all the capital that you have accumulated with great difficulty.

Han Jin has also met seventy or eighty people these days, and the biggest feeling for him is that there are too many unreliable people.

Many directors and screenwriters bring a script and ask him to invest 1.8 million, saying that he will definitely make money after filming. But when I opened the script, most of it was garbage, there were very few scripts that could be used, and even fewer could make money after filming. Some don't even have a script, just one idea wants Han Jin to pay for it, and it is clear that they want to "cheat their father".

Han Jin saw so many filmmakers, but basically didn't see a few reliable ones, and he couldn't help but be depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Wang Jing. Is it because he is not good at eight characters and has a deceitful face, or is it because Hong Kong filmmakers are so pompous? !

Wang Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw him ask, "Ah Jin, it's no wonder that they, who made you too young now, the so-called hairless mouth is not firm, they see that you are young, they think that you have not seen anything in the world, and naturally want to spend money on the two of you." ”

"In fact, there are a lot of reliable filmmakers in Hong Kong, you see that there are many production companies now, and there are hundreds of movies made every year, and they are still very thirsty for talents. Reliable people don't worry about finding opportunities, even if they can't be directors and screenwriters at first, it is easy to join the crew as long as they are willing to endure hardships, and it is not difficult to have the strength to emerge. ”

In this way, most of the reliable people have already found jobs and are working in a down-to-earth manner. Only the kind of people who have no real strength, a bottle less than half a bottle dangling, always feel that they have no talent, and they are bent on finding opportunities for money. Most of the people who come here now are like that. Wang Jing analyzed for him.

When Han Jin heard him say this, he couldn't help but nod his head, feeling that it made sense.

"Then in addition to poaching, there is no reliable filmmaker?" Han Jin couldn't help but say depressedly.

Wang Jing couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this, in fact, to be honest, poaching is really much better than hitting luck.

Many directors, screenwriters, and actors have become famous, and their strength has been tested, even if they spend a lot of money to dig up.

Those newcomers don't know the roots, they don't know the bottom. Even if the salary is small, if the errand is broken, the loss is quite huge.

He was about to do this, but he heard the phone ringing, Han Jin picked up the phone and listened to it, but he couldn't help laughing happily, and then after saying a few words, he hung up the phone.

"This is really what you want, just now I said that there is no talent, Liu Zhir helped me recommend one." Han Jin said with a smile.

"Oh. Who is it? Wang Jing's eyes lit up. Asked with a smile.

"Liu didn't say anything on the phone, saying that people were about to arrive." Han Jin waved his hand and said, "The talents recommended by his old man must have real materials." Ah. I'm really looking forward to it! ”

……

I waited for half an hour. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door.

Han Jin personally walked over and opened the door. There's no way, this company is a leather bag company, and not a single employee has been hired. Although Han Jin is the general manager. But it's also a bare-bones commander.

When I opened the door, I saw that there was not one person, but two people standing at the door.

One person wears sunglasses, and the other has a smiling face, like Maitreya Buddha.

"You are ......" Han Jin couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that these two people were really familiar.

"We were introduced by Mr. Liu Fanggang and came for an interview." The man in sunglasses smiled.

"Oh, please come in, please come in." Han Jin greeted with a smile.

When these two came in, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that the huge office building was empty.

"Please come here~" Han Jin said with a smile, "I'm sorry, the company has only been open for a few days, and I haven't had time to hire someone yet." ”

"Yes, yes......" laughed the man who looked like Maitreya.

Let him sit down in the office, Han Jin smiled, "I don't know if the two are happy to be famous~"

"My name is Wang Jiawei~" "Under Liu Zhenwei~"

Han Jin couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his heartbeat suddenly increased to two hundred.

The King of Sunglasses and the Bodhi Ancestor?!

King of Sunglasses, Wang Jiawei, Hong Kong's most awesome literary film director, has filmed countless classic masterpieces, such as "East Evil and West Poison", "Chongqing Forest", "Springtime", "The True Story of A Fei", etc., which are regarded as supreme classics by petty bourgeoisie, and are also very influential in the international film industry.

However, this person's biggest ability is "pit dad", a "The True Story of A Fei" costs 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was originally expected to shoot two episodes, but the first episode of the king of sunglasses ran out of money.

After the release, there was a lot of ridicule, and many gangsters went to the name of the movie, thinking that they could see the bloody and passionate struggle history of the old boy like "Mong Kok Carmen", but they watched an obscure literary film.

It feels like a deceived audience lining up on a wall, blocking the front of the theater and not letting the people behind enter to watch the movie. Word-of-mouth also fell to the bottom, and the director of this big movie with an investment of 40 million yuan was hurriedly painted two weeks after its release, and in the end the box office was only more than 10 million, with a big loss, and directly put the investor Deng Guangrong into the hospital.

However, the movie "The True Story of A Fei" subsequently won numerous awards, which also made Wang Jiawei famous in the Hong Kong film industry.

Different from Wang Jiawei's "pit father", Bodhi ancestor Liu Zhenwei is an expert in making money, and his biggest ability is to earn high returns with small investments, and his full-time job is to "wipe his ass" for Wang Jiawei.

Wang Jiawei gathered Lin Qingxia, Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, Wang Zuxian, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Jialing and other big-name stars to shoot "East Evil and West Poison", but it took nearly a year to shoot, and Taiwan film companies suffered heavy losses.

Liu Zhenwei had no choice but to gather the original team and spent more than 20 days to shoot a "East Becomes West". Although the filming was rushed and the script was nonsense, the box office sold more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, helping Taiwanese filmmakers make a lot of money and filling the big hole of Wang Jiaweizhi.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Hong Kong film industry, if you want to win an award, please invite Wang Jiawei, and if you want to make money, please invite Liu Zhenwei.

Han Jin knows Wang Jiawei's details deeply, a "2o46" was filmed for five years, and it was almost filmed in 2o46, and the skills of grinding foreign workers are first-class; Filming "The Grandmaster", Zhang Zhen experienced life and learned Bajiquan, and he has cultivated from a layman to a champion, and the movie has not yet been filmed.

Such a "talent" is really hard to find in the world, but he also knows that Wang Jiawei's kung fu in conditioning actors is first-class. Zhang Manyu, Zhang Guorong, Liang Wei and others were all trained by him, and from the perspective of his contribution to the Hong Kong film industry, Wang Jiawei's contribution is still great.

However, Han Jin is now running a company, not opening a good hall, and he knows that Wang Jiawei is not easy to use.

Deng Guangrong was hospitalized because he lost a large amount of money, and he was sick and hospitalized, and his old capital was lost.

Taiwanese film companies also suffered heavy losses because of his support for filmmaking, and their capital turnover was difficult. made Wang Jing bombard, accusing him of squeezing too many resources, so that other filmmakers had no funds to use.

Wang Jiawei has won numerous awards and has become a well-known director in the Hong Kong film industry, and in the future, he will start his own company, make movies, and make a lot of money. It's really a success, stepping on other people's bones to reach the top.

However, Han Jin also knew that he was a talent, and besides, he was strongly recommended by Liu Xinr, and for the sake of his face, he couldn't directly reject him, so he decided to accept it first. At most, let him stay as an acting director, anyway, there will be many artists in the company in the future, so it's better to let him train and train first.

For Wang Jiawei, Han Jin is a mixture of love and hate, but for Liu Zhenwei, Han Jin only likes it in his heart.

This Bodhi Ancestor is so cute. (To be continued!)
