Chapter 35 "Happy Ghost" test screening
In the editing room of Shaw Brothers, "Happy Ghost" is in post-production, thanks to Wang Jin's face, he can rent it here for three days, but the rent is really expensive!
"You don't need to cut this!"
"Cut this out!"
"You don't have to cut this clip! Hey, why don't you listen to me. ”
……
Wang Jin saw that the editors' faces were getting darker and darker, and hurriedly pulled Wang Zichuan out, and said with a wry smile: "Chuanzai, let's leave it alone, no matter how you understand, you can't compare to other professionals, I sue you, you can't offend anyone who offends them, these editors are the best in Xiangjiang, whether the film sells well or not, you have to rely on them." ”
Wang Zichuan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and said honestly: "I just followed ...... Forget it, let them go. ”
Wang Jin wiped his sweat at this time, this Chuanzi is good at everything, but he does things unexpectedly.
"That's right, let's leave it alone, let's go have a couple of drinks first."
On August 15th, the editing of "Happy Ghost" was completed, Wang Jin kept looking for someone to dub it, and he hurriedly lived for two days to do the post-production.
On August 17, Wang Jin and Wang Zichuan came to Jiahe Company with the film, and as soon as they arrived at the front desk, Wang Jin couldn't wait to rush over.
"Miss, remember me? I've been obsessed with you for the past few days, and I've been calling your name when I sleep. ”
The beauty at the front desk raised her head, covered her mouth and smiled: "Hey, it's you again, little fat man, who are you looking for?" There are no reservations! ”
Wang Jin smiled lewdly: "You first say if you miss me......"
Wang Zichuan couldn't wait to step forward and kick him twice, and said: "Dead fatty, you can't finish your business and then pick up girls, hello Miss, we are looking for Mr. Zou Wenhuai, there is an appointment." ”
The front desk lady flipped through the record and said with a smile: "You are Mr. Wang, your appointment is at two o'clock in the afternoon, there is still half an hour, you can wait in the lounge for a while." ”
Wang Jin smiled: "Xiaole, give face, if Uncle Huai is fine, let us go in." ”
The beauty at the front desk shook her head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zou is in a meeting." ”
Wang Jin smiled bitterly at Wang Zichuan: "Some of us have waited." ”
Wang Zichuan comforted instead: "Since you are here, let's wait." ”
"Fat man, you say, what about people?" Wang Zichuan saw that Wang Jin was still teasing the beautiful woman named Xiaole at the front desk, and couldn't help but shake his head, this Wang Jin can't forget this hobby anywhere.
In the spring of 1970, Fang Yihua took control of the purchasing department of the company, which began to shift its focus from film to television while controlling expenses, a move strongly opposed by Zou Wenhuai, a veteran of the company. Under the experience of Li Han's dismal departure from Taiwan's "League of Nations", Zou Wenhuai still united He Yichang and Liang Feng, and the three of them started a new stove together to create Jiahe Company, and Cai Yongchang, Zhao Yaojun and other top pillars also followed Zou Wenhuai to abandon the Wei clan and go to another future.
As soon as Wang Jin entered the lounge, he shouted excitedly: "Chuanzai, I inquired!" ”
Wang Zichuan was puzzled and asked, "What did you inquire?" It can't be the measurements of that beauty, then I'm not interested in listening to it. ”
Wang Jin hurriedly said: "No, I inquired about the movie released in Golden Harvest Cinema!" It turns out that they haven't released any good movies at all in the past few months, and our opponent is only left on the side of Xinyi City. ”
Wang Zichuan asked, "How do you know that there are no good movies to be released?" ”
Wang Jin said with a smile: "The people who have come to Golden Harvest these days are all small companies, and the movies they make are all shoddy, and they will be satisfied if they can make hundreds of thousands, which is like our ambition!" ”
Wang Zichuan nodded and praised, and asked suspiciously: "You are really not a pickled girl?" ”
"Two gentlemen, Mr. Zou is free, let you go and see him."
Wang Zichuan pursed his lips and whispered: "This Mr. Zou is quite big, and he makes himself like the emperor!" ”
Wang Jin smiled: "You will also have such a day." ”
"Of course!" Wang Zichuan looked forward to it for a while, and followed Wang Jin honestly.
After a while, Wang Jin took Wang Zichuan to a luxurious office, in addition to a middle-aged man sitting, there was also a person standing and saying something.
Wang Zichuan listened attentively.
"The recently released film has received a general response in Japan, "Wonderful Five Lucky Stars" is preparing to be released to Japan, but Xinyicheng is contacting Japanese theaters, and it seems that it plans to release the film directly to Japan......"
Zou Wenhuai motioned for the man to stop and said to Wang Jin: "Ah Jin, you are here!" ”
Wang Jin immediately looked respectful, pulled Wang Zichuan over, and replied: "Uncle Huai, this is the Chuanzi I mentioned to you, don't look at him young, he is a good hand at writing scripts!" ”
Zou Wenhuai said to Wang Zichuan: "You are the 300,000 screenwriter? Ah Long did this to Meng Lang. ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "Mr. Zou, I really feel that I lost that business, if it weren't for Brother Long's insistence, I planned to shoot "Plan A" by myself, the script is good or bad, whether the film sells well or not, Mr. Zou knows best." ”
Zou Wenhuai didn't laugh angrily, and said, "Hahaha...... Young people are energetic, I like such young people, are you interested in doing things with me, as long as the script is good, I will focus on cultivating you! ”
Wang Zichuan shook his head and said with a smile: "We are here to discuss business with Mr. Zou today, why don't we talk about business first, how about talking about anything else?" ”
Wang Jin smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Huai, this movie is really good!" Why don't you take a look at the wool first? ”
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said to the person standing in the middle, "You continue." ”
"Yes! Mr. Zou, I think we should pay more attention to the Japanese market, we are all yellow people, we have a certain common language, our company should do our best to release "Wonderful Ideas Five Lucky Stars" to Japan, not only to snipe the new art city, but also to strengthen publicity in Japan. ”
Zou Wenhuai nodded, and said with a straight face: "Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, the Japanese side will be responsible for you this time." ”
"Yes! Mr. Zou, please rest assured! Then I'll go out and prepare some materials first. ”
Wang Zichuan's heart moved, remembering this person's appearance, this is a talent, the most important thing is that this person can open the Japanese market, and he must be poached when he opens a film company.
Zou Wenhuai smiled: "Hehe, I've kept you waiting, now we can watch the movie made by the two of you." ”
Wang Jin introduced as he walked: "Uncle Huai, you already know the name of the movie is "Happy Ghost", this film has a total investment of one million, which is considered a small-cost system. ”
Wang Zichuan knew that "Happy Ghost" only used 800,000 yuan, including 70,000 quick lyrics and music, and 20 were not spent.
In the screening room, "Happy Ghost" was only screened for half an hour, Zou Wenhuai knew that this film must be a blockbuster, and now he is more and more interested in Wang Zichuan, Aaron is full of praise for him, claiming that the screenwriter is a genius and can write a book in two days.
