Chapter 57: Crowd Night
"Wen Qiang, you mean to put the commercial film on the opening of the movie?
And also fancy the "Lying World" that we are filming? ”
In the Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse not far from the Hou Wang Temple, Zhou Wenqiang, Yuan Yangan and Xia Meng sat in the private room, talking about Zhou Wenqiang's first commercial film on Hong Kong Island.
Xia Meng has just signed a contract with Great Wall Pictures, and she was not eligible to participate, but since she is the heroine of the advertising film designated by Zhou Wenqiang, she must be there.
Zhou Wenqiang's whimsy not only surprised Yuan Yangan, but Xia Meng's eyes widened in surprise, the commercial was played in front of the movie, he could think of this kind of idea, isn't he afraid that the audience will be disgusted?
"Brother Yuan's "Lying World" will definitely cause a sensation, which is determined by the current situation on Hong Kong Island, and today's Hong Kong Island needs such a movie that is in dire straits.
That's why I value this movie.
If I could play my ad at the beginning of the film, the slogan would be 'Maybe the world is lying, but Wang Laoji must be sincere', and it would have a very good advertising effect. ”
Zhou Wenqiang smiled: "The commercial I conceived is like this, Miss Yang is wearing a cool white dress, waiting for her sweetheart in the hot summer, the weather is very hot, and her forehead is densely covered with fine beads of sweat......"
Regardless of whether Zhou Wenqiang is whimsical or not, the creative plot of this commercial really attracted Yuan Yangan and Xia Meng, and the two did not interrupt Zhou Wenqiang, and they were quietly listening to his narration.
"At this time, Miss Yang's sweetheart came, and Miss Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to get angry, when his sweetheart took out a pack of Wanglaoji herbal tea and handed it over, and said with a smile, 'Wanglaoji herbal tea, on behalf of my love for you'.
Below is a close-up, Miss Yang happily drinking herbal tea with a sweet smile......"
"Brother Yuan, this kind of novel and contented advertisement will not only not arouse the audience's disgust, but will become a bright spot."
If it is placed in the era of the flood of various advertisements in later generations, Zhou Wenqiang's idea is at most a third-rate level, but in this era when most movies are supported by opera, it is simply groundbreaking greatness.
Yuan Yangan and Xia Meng were stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but applaud.
"That's amazing!
Uncle Yuan, I really want to shoot this commercial! ”
Xia Meng's face was a little red, and it turned out that she was touched by this advertisement.
Zhou Wenqiang said with a smile: "I heard that Great Wall Pictures does not have a color camera now, so there is no way to shoot color films, but this commercial film must have a color picture to highlight the effect."
So I decided to privately sponsor two color cameras to Great Wall Pictures, and it was the latest one! ”
Yuan Yang'an was unconsciously moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Wen Qiang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't deceive you."
This "Lying World" will not be released until three months later, and just now you said that herbal tea will be on the market in six days, I'm afraid it won't be in time.
I can't take your two color cameras, and the commercials that shoot them have no effect, which is too much to say. ”
"Brother Yuan is really a gentleman, ......"
Zhou Wenqiang nodded secretly, Yuan Yangan is a principled person, such a person is a friend who can be made.
"But that's what I want the commercial to be released in three months."
Zhou Wenqiang smiled slightly: "According to my estimate, if nothing else, three months later should be the critical moment for Wanglaoji herbal tea to break through the daily sales of 150,000 bags."
This point in time is very important, and the release time of "Lying World" happens to be at this important juncture.
With the advertising film shot by Miss Yang, I am confident that the daily sales of herbal tea will successfully exceed 150,000 bags! ”
This is "The World of Lies"! As soon as it was launched, it caused tens of thousands of empty alleys.
The film was screened for 28 consecutive performances, and the venue was full, and it was hard to find a ticket, and it was hailed as a masterpiece of Hong Kong Island cinema in 1950.
The cumulative box office has historically exceeded 120,000 Hong Kong dollars!
If you convert it to newspapers, that's 1.2 million copies sold!
That's why Zhou Wenqiang has so much confidence.
Yuan Yangan glanced at Zhou Wenqiang, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Wenqiang, you are really amazing, since you have seen it for three months, then what else do I have to say?"
It seems that I can only laugh at your two color cameras.
However, these two machines can't let you give them away for nothing, even if you take a stake in Great Wall Pictures, what do you think of Wen Qiang? ”
Zhou Wenqiang said with a smile: "Everything is up to Brother Yuan, of course I have no opinion." ”
After speaking, he took a deep look at Xia Meng and said, "Miss Yang, I don't know if you are willing to be the heroine of my commercial?" ”
Xia Meng said happily: "Of course, of course, I just said that I want to make this commercial, Mr. Zhou, you can't talk and don't count." ”
Zhou Wenqiang laughed: "Don't worry, except for Miss Yang, no one else is qualified to shoot this commercial."
However, I will be unhappy if I want to call Brother Zhou and Mr. Zhou again in the future....."
"Zhou ...... Brother Zhou......"
No matter how innocent Xia Meng was, he could hear the flirtatious meaning in Zhou Wenqiang's words at this moment, and he immediately lowered his head in shame.
She has a strong temperament, loves sports, and has unlimited vitality, but she is very shy, and she is also an actress who has no scandals in the film and television industry for life.
Yuan Yangan peeked at Zhou Wenqiang, then at Xia Meng, and laughed out loud: "Come on, Wenqiang, Xiaomeng, let us do this cup of tea......"
***
"Jie Shao, if you say this, I have to be serious.
A fairy-like woman?
I'm not afraid of Jie Shaoxiao, I haven't seen it.
It can't be a product from the bar street, right? ”
While Zhou Wenqiang and the three of them were enjoying the tea, in the box of Lee Garden Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, Changle helped Cao Shijie to boast to others about how stunning the beauties he had seen in Great Wall Pictures.
In addition to Cao Shijie, there were also his friend Ma Jingsheng, Liu He, who was raped and beaten by Zhou Wen, and a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man with a round face, a big nose and a big mouth, and a smile on his face if he didn't speak.
Among them, Ma Jingsheng is from "Ip Man 3" and "Ip Man Gaiden: Zhang Tianzhi", helping the black boss played by Tyson to engage in violent demolition... He was the one who moved.
The one with a round face is even more famous, he is Yan Tong, the current Sha Zhan of the Mong Kok Police Station, is the 'senior brother' of Gao Zhou Wenqiang for the third term, from "The Biography of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 million".
He was able to get to the position of Sha Zhan in a short period of time, in addition to relying on Liu Fu's sycophancy, he is indeed extremely capable, making countless friends in black and white, and he can find face everywhere.
Among Cao Shijie's friends, the most wasteful is Liu He, if it weren't for the fact that he was Liu Fu's nephew, Cao Shijie's gang would not have taken him to play at all.
Seeing that it was this waste wood that questioned himself first, Cao Shijie was immediately displeased, and sneered: "The goods in the bar street?
Hehe, that's your Liu Dashao's favorite.
Cao Shao, I either don't eat it, if I want to eat it, it's a fairy peach, will I only pick 'rotten apricots' like you? ”
Ma Jingsheng is Cao Shijie's sworn friend, and he looks down on Liu He the most, and immediately laughs when he hears this: "Oh, it's the first time I know that Liu Shao will not only be beaten like rotten apricots, but also love to eat 'rotten apricots'?"
Hahaha, Liu Shao is Liu Shao, and the taste is very unique. ”
He is clearly exposing Liu He's shortcomings, and now who doesn't know that Liu He was beaten by Zhou Wenqiang, but his uncle is Zhou Wenqiang's top boss, but he refuses to help him.
This incident also made the prestige of the Tiger of the New Territories even more famous, and Liu He confirmed the identity of the waste wood.
Only Yan Tong sat next to him without saying a word, and glanced at Liu He, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.
Liu He was angry at this time, so he didn't care if he didn't look at him, and said angrily: "Hehe, Xiantao? That's amazing!
Then I'm going to open my eyes.
But don't blame me for not explaining, if Jie Shao's 'fairy peach' is not as good as 'rotten apricot', don't be a woman in front of me in the future, I will blush. ”
Cao Shijie slapped his palm on the table: "The surname is Liu, what do you mean?"
Don't think that Liu Fu is your uncle, so I don't dare to touch you.
It's not like you've never been touched! ”
Seeing this, Yan Tong hurriedly got up: "Okay, okay, Jie Shao, Liu Shao, just give me the same face as Yan."
It's all your own people, why bother turning your face for a woman?
By the way, why hasn't the Miss Yang you mentioned arrived yet? ”
One sentence reminded Cao Shijie: "Hit the street!" Skinny Dog has always been safe enough to do things, what's going on today?
Look back, I don't tear down his bones! ”
Before the words fell, I heard the little brother outside the box say, "Jie Shao, the thin dog is back." ”
"Let him invite Miss Yang in, and then get out of here!"
Cao Shijie laughed: "Everyone, the Lord has arrived."
Liu Shao, I advise you to prepare a handkerchief, don't bleed your nose, it's too embarrassing. ”
Liu He smiled: "Jie Shao, I really want to bleed, but you let me have a nosebleed at the 'thin dog', which is very difficult......"
"What?"
Cao Shijie was stunned for a moment, quickly turned his head to look, and saw the 'thin dog' standing in front of him with a panicked face, and suddenly his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees: "Jie Shao, I'm ...... I ......"
"You're paralyzed!"
Cao Shijie knew that things were messed up at a glance, and kicked the thin dog in the face hard, and his face was suddenly full of peach blossoms.
"Great Wall Pictures is a bunch of cultural people, you can't even invite a girl, what's the use of me keeping you!"
"Jie Shao spare his life, spare his life, yes...... It's Zhou Wenqiang, it's he who covered Great Wall Pictures and that girl.
The leader said that he is not allowed to conflict with Zhou Wenqiang!
Jie Shao, we really can't afford to mess with this tiger of the New Territories. ”
"Tiger of the New Territories, Zhou Wenqiang?"
Cao Shijie was stunned for a moment, and the box became quiet.
