Chapter 61: I don't know Prime Minister Cao Cheng when I was young (ask for collection, follow-up)

July 14, 1986.

After many days of preparatory work by the crew, "Prison Storm" officially started filming in Stanley Prison on the island.

At the same time, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has been released for 24 days, has exceeded 23 million at the box office!

Squeezed into the top four of the 1986 box office list!

The "Best Lucky Star" directed by Zeng Zhiwei, which was released on July 3, was defeated one after another.

However, "Best Lucky Star" is a film of Golden Harvest, and under Zhou Wenhuai's signal, Golden Harvest Cinemas immediately reduced the scheduling rate of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

At this moment, among the three major theater chains, only Princess Jin continued to schedule films for "A Chinese Ghost Story" as planned, causing the follow-up box office to plummet.

"Best Lucky Star" also came back to life because of this, and the box office has been popular all the way.

At present, Yan Huang and Golden Harvest are still in the honeymoon period, and even in the starring role of "Best Lucky Star", there is also Yan Huang's artist Lou Dehua.

Therefore, Li Xingchen did not turn his face with Jiahe, but only asked Luo Song to secretly speed up the contact with Uncle Shao Liu.

Debao's cinema chain, for the past two years, has been the former Shaw Brothers cinema chain.

Pan Disheng is also talking to Shaw Brothers about the acquisition.

He has a listed company under his name, and his wealth is powerful, so he can naturally swallow the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.

However, Uncle Shao never let go.

Negotiations between all parties have reached an impasse.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" not only achieved box office success in Hong Kong, but also achieved good results in Guodao and Southeast Asia.

Especially Koshima.

Wang Zuxian was originally from Guodao, and he was born with the aura of his own people.

In less than a month, Yan Huang has received more than 10 million yuan in box office dividends!

Qi Qing even came to Xiangjiang to save his relationship with Wang Zuxian.

As a result, he was rejected by Wang Zuxian.

"As I said, I am yours and will always be yours."

In the crew of "Prison Storm", Wang Zuxian, who played the girlfriend of the male protagonist Lu Jiayao, whispered in Li Xingchen's ear when he found no one.

Looking at Qi Qing who left in a huff, as well as the other party's messy long hair in the wind, and then smelling the fragrance of the beauties around him, Li Xingchen's heart suddenly felt a kind of forbidden happiness.

I didn't know Prime Minister Cao Cheng when I was young, but I only knew extramarital Q when I grew up!

With the speed of escaping, he left Wang Zuxian, who had spring in his eyes and autumn in his eyebrows, and found Luo Song.

"Carefully calculate the profits of "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Li Xingchen said quickly, "Arrange the schedule of several movies such as "The Story of Ah Lang" and "Heavenly Love", make a good cost budget, and see how much money can be drawn." ”

"Let's start with a small theater and buy one or two! Waiting for Uncle Shao Liu's decision to sell the theater chain is not a solution, and we don't have so much money. ”

Looking at the unnatural face of the dead friend, Luo Song smiled obscenely: "You really have a leg with Wang Zuxian?" ”

Li Xingchen sighed: "Not yet, I'm resisting desperately, after all, it's not my style to see the stitches, and I have a good relationship with Wei Wei'an, and I don't have the idea of finding other women." ”

"You TMD just continue to pretend to be a gentleman," Luo Song took a sip, "I will arrange these things, don't forget, Citi has to pay interest on leveraged funds every day." ”

"If you roll out four or five movies at once, our cash flow will be very tight, buy a small theater? I don't have the money to buy a small house! Let's wait until the end of the year. ”

Li Xingchen frowned: "The sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", as soon as it is launched, it will have a stronger impact on "The Best Lucky Star" than "A Chinese Ghost Story", and Golden Harvest will not schedule films for us." ”

"Then it will be postponed until the end of July and the beginning of August."

Luo Song smiled, "How long has it been since "The True Color of Heroes" was painted? As for the sequel, the appearance is too ugly, avoid "Best Lucky Star", which can not only ease relations with Golden Harvest, but also get a better box office. ”

"It's just a movie in August, and there is no one who can play!"

Li Xingchen sighed: "Then it will be released on August 1, urge Wu Yusen and Du Qifeng, speed up post-production, and pick up the schedule." ”

"John Woo is quite pitiful, a movie, filmed for more than three months!"

Luo Song said dissatisfiedly, "I suggest that he take a break and shoot "Bloody Heroes" again, otherwise it will affect the company's cash flow!" ”

The script of "Bloody Heroes", Li Xingchen also took the time to write it.

and handed over this script to John Woo, who was working on the later stage of "The True Colors of Heroes".

He clearly remembered that after Wu Yusen read the script.

The whole person's hands were shaking.

A middle-aged man, full of tears, looked at himself: "Li Sheng, I give up my life and want to make this movie well!" ”

Li Xingchen shook his head: "Wu Yusen's loyalty to the company far exceeds that of other directors, and he regards me as his life confidant." ”

"If he doesn't live up to me, I won't fail him, or according to the original plan, let him prepare "Bloody Heroes".

"There are too many movies, Wang Jiawei and Lou Zhenwei also reported a 1 million project, called "Fierce Ghost Mission", and started five movies at the same time, there are not enough people, and the money may not be enough!"

Luo Song stared at the dead friend, "The stall is too big, and it is easy to have big problems!" ”

Li Xingchen laughed: "It's not a problem that there are not enough people, the most important thing in Xiangjiang is filmmakers, just increase recruitment!" ”

"As for the money, save a little money, then don't think about buying a theater first, anyway, we will give in, and Golden Harvest will not block us, you usually communicate with them more, and when necessary, you can temporarily pretend to be a little brother."

Luo Song sighed: "TMD, since I was a child, you haven't let me be an uncle!" ”

"When the uncle was a child, they were all grandsons!"

Li Xingchen smiled slightly.

......

Stanley Prison is a beautiful prison surrounded by the sea on three sides, located on the east side of Repulse Bay, not far from Li Xingchen's villa.

Everything was arranged in such a short period of time, with the full support of the Public Relations Division of the Police Headquarters and the Correctional Services Department.

It is the result of the hard work of Luo Song and the newly recruited Gan Guoliang and others.

received three plays at the same time, and Zou Yun-fat, who was very nervous, received a call from Luo Song, without saying a word, and put the schedule of the other two plays directly in a secondary position.

"Li Sheng is my benefactor, no matter when, as long as he needs it, I will be there at any time."

Chow Yun-fat is very good at talking and dancing with long sleeves.

Not a word will be left behind.

But the money that should be collected will not be less!

As the first leading actor, his salary reached 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars!

It is more than three times that of the other leading actor Liang Jiahui!

"Li Sheng, my salary is less," Liang Jiahui said sincerely, "Spend all the money on this movie, I have a salary every month, and in the past few months, I have also taken on a lot of films at the same time, and I am not short of money for the time being." ”

Li Xingchen smiled: "Don't you want to marry Miss Jiang as soon as possible?" Others follow you, but you haven't had a good life, no matter what, you have to buy a house and get married, right? ”

"Love without a house cannot be blessed by both parents!"

Liang Jiahui said embarrassedly: "Then 250,000, the same as "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”

Li Xingchen shook his head: "No, that one, you are a dragon set, this one, you are a double male lead, 500,000, not a penny less!" ”

"Li Sheng!" Liang Jiahui's eyes suddenly turned red, "I ......"

When he was most depressed, it was Li Xingchen who saved him.

And he has never been asked to repay his kindness, and the salary is far more than his current coffee position!

You know, if it weren't for Li Xingchen promoting him as the leading actor.

He, an outdated golden statue actor, is also a tricky life!

Li Xingchen patted him on the shoulder: "Tony, in the company, you and Andy are the actors I value the most, do a good job, this "Prison Storm" is your real turnaround!" ”

In another time and space.

Liang Jiahui, who has been down for many years, relied on this movie to regain the position of a first-line movie star.

"Well, Li Sheng, I will definitely do my best to do a good job in this play!"

Soldiers die for their confidants.

Liang Jiahui decided to play with Zou Yun-fat.

Although they are good friends, in "The True Color of Heroes", Zou Yun-fat's god-level acting skills still crushed him who played the eldest brother.

This time in "Prison Storm", he decided to compete with his friends.

You must not let the other party crush you again!

The most important thing is not to let Li Sheng, a great benefactor, down!

If Li Xingchen could know his thoughts, he would definitely jump for joy.

In another time and space, Lu Jiayao played by Liang Jiahui, although his personality is not likable, his acting skills really hold Chow Yun-fat.

By the way, the rest of the supporting roles also brought out their acting skills.

Especially Zhang Yaoyang, who is a newcomer.

This former model, through the role of Brother Xiong, began his extremely arrogant screen role career.

The future is left with famous scenes such as crows flipping the table.

This is the benefit of Liang Jiahui and Zou Yun-fat's acting skills.

can make all the actors reach their best.

Make a classic movie.
