Chapter 18: Cinema, Boot, Ask for Help (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
That evening, Zhao Ya's house.
In the evening, I ate steamed buns.
After exploring the origin of life, Zhao Yazhi urgently hugged Xu Jiajun, rested his head on his chest, and said softly with a blurred look: "Ah Jun, I have already said hello to Ms. Fang, you can rent a set for filming on the set of Shaw Brothers, and if you want to film in Shaw Brothers' theaters, you can also talk about the specifics." ”
She is now the pillar of the wireless station, a hot existence, and she still has this face.
"Sister, why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand, everything was arranged for me, what kind of person are you, eating soft rice?" Xu Jiajun's face changed, and he let go of her as pretended to be displeased.
"Ah Jun, I didn't ......" Zhao Yazhi saw Xu Jiajun slap at her for the first time, knowing that he had hurt his self-esteem, and hurriedly apologized: "I just want to help you, I never thought about it that way, I am willing to spend money on you these days." ”
"Not next time, I'm a man, how can you let me face you like this?" Xu Jiajun hugged her into his arms again, and his tone slowed down: "Since you have already negotiated, then I don't want to live up to your kindness, it's okay to rent a studio, but forget about the film." ”
Although he just eats soft rice, he can think so, but he can't let Zhao Ya think so for a long time, this soft rice has to be eaten hard!
"Well, I'll definitely discuss it with you next time I do something." Zhao Yazhi reassured again and again, and then asked, "But why don't you make a film at Shaw Brothers?" ”
"Fool, I don't want you to owe you that much favor." Xu Jiajun touched her face, in fact, Shao Yifu was too picky, and the share he gave him would definitely not be high, and he had a better choice.
Zhao Yazhi didn't know what he really thought, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed: "Then which theater are you going to film in?" It's only Golden Harvest, right? ”
Nowadays, there are only three cinema chains that are the most prosperous in the Xiangjiang market, namely Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Shuangnan, because these three cinema chains have their own stable and high-quality film supply companies, and cinemas and film companies complement each other.
But Shuangnan is a leftist cinema, and if the movie is released in Shuangnan, it will be banned by Taiwan, and Taiwan is currently the largest box office market in Xiangjiang, so Xu Jiajun will definitely not choose Shuangnan, then there is only Golden Harvest.
Golden Harvest is a satellite system, which is more enlightened and flexible than Shaw Brothers, and any film made by an independent film company can be released on Golden Harvest and make money together.
Of course, in terms of film scheduling and sharing conditions, it is definitely inferior to the films of Golden Harvest's satellite subsidiaries.
"You'll know when the time comes." Xu Jiajun only smiled and didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
In fact, there is a fourth cinema chain in Hong Kong, that is, Lisheng Cinema Line, the predecessor of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, with 18 cinemas, which have just been acquired by Lei Juekun, the major shareholder of Kowloon Bus Corporation, and are ready to do a big job.
However, it was targeted by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and Lei Juekun was helpless, and there was no high-quality film company to provide films, resulting in Lisheng having no theaters and no good films to show, which could not attract people, and the cinemas were full of people, and they were losing money every day.
So the current presence is not strong.
Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are not short of film sources, and Xu Jiajun, an unknown person, can share how many resources can he get if he takes a group of movies made by unknown people? How good can you get?
Therefore, it is better to burn the cold stove of Lisheng, Lisheng lacks good films to break through the blockade of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, Xu Jiajun lacks theaters to release his own films, the two sides are adulterers and adulteresses, a match made in heaven, and they achieve each other!
…………………
January 15, 1980, 8 a.m.
On the set of Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay, Xu Jiajun, Gao Zhisen, Zhao Yazhi, Li Saifeng and other main creators are holding a ceremony to reward the gods before the start of "Happy Ghost".
Zhao Yazhi was also pulled by Xu Jiajun to play a small role, because she is popular now, and she can do false propaganda in her name when the time comes.
After all, except for some behind-the-scenes personnel, the entire crew, from the director to the actors, are all newcomers, and it is difficult to trick the audience into the theater without a publicity point.
And as long as they are tricked, Xu Jiajun is confident that they will be deceived with the quality of the movie.
The other crew members on the set were also surprised and curious after seeing that Zhao Yazhi would actually play such a scene with a grass stage team, and the matter gradually spread and attracted more people's attention.
With the end of burning incense and worshipping God, the red cloth on the camera was lifted, and "Happy Ghost" officially started.
Today's filming is a scene in a broken temple, so it must be set up on the set, as for the beach, and the school scene has already found a good place, and the real scene is directly filmed.
After the start-up ceremony, Zhao Yazhi left.
Xu Jiajun watched the scene for a while, mainly to help Gao Zhisen find a rhythm, and by the way, he used his experience in later generations to give some guidance on shooting techniques.
I didn't leave until I received a call from Spicy Ginger.
Half an hour later, on the roof of a building in Mong Kok.
Today, the wind was very strong, blowing the hair in front of Xu Jiajun's forehead messy, the corner of his suit was lifted, and he squinted slightly and walked towards the spicy ginger with his back to the edge of the rooftop.
Spicy Jiang turned around after hearing the footsteps, and when he saw Xu Jiajun, he hurriedly took two steps forward and handed over the cigarette: "Brother Jun." ”
Xu Jiajun took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, Spicy Ginger took out a lighter, and helped him light it with one hand blocking the wind.
"Whew~" Xu Jiajun took a puff, spit out a puff of smoke, looked around and said casually: "Don't meet you on the rooftop next time, this place is unlucky." ”
"Huh?" Spicy Ginger glanced around and didn't see anything unlucky, but what the big guy said was what it was, nodded to show that he remembered, then rubbed his face and said, "Brother Jun, I took over the position of the speaker of Mong Kok Hall." ”
"Yes, congratulations, Brother Spicy Jiang, I will be regarded as a big old man in the future." Xu Jiajun said in a casual tone, slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop, supported the railing with both hands, and looked down at the ant-like crowd below.
"Brother Jun, don't me." Spicy Jiang showed a wry smile, chased after him, and said with a sigh: "I came to the throne too quickly, and many brothers below are not convinced, and they disobey me." This internal problem, as long as I give me time, I can solve it, the key is that there are still external enemies peeping, this time Brother Jun, you must support me. ”
"Foreign enemies? Who is it. Xu Jiajun didn't look back at him, and calmly flicked the cigarette ash.
Spicy ginger walked to his left hand side, leaned on the railing and leaned on Xu Jiajun: "Xinji's turkey, Xinji has developed rapidly over the years, and I have always wanted to plant a flag in Mong Kok, and now I am eyeing this soft persimmon." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and the expression on his face became more and more bitter: "I can ask the community for help in the fight, but in that case, even if I can hold the territory, I am afraid it will not be mine in the end." ”
The Black Club is a person who eats people, not only outsiders want to eat him, but his own people still stare at his piece of fat.
Xu Jiajun, the person of turkey, has heard of it, he is a new double-flowered red stick, narrow-minded, mean and unkind, but he is particularly capable of fighting, and he is purely a reckless man.
"One thing." Xu Jiajun muttered quietly for a moment, and then lightly raised a finger.
Spicy ginger hurriedly said: "Brother Jun, you say." ”
Xu Jiajun turned his head to look at him, and said slowly with a serious and serious expression: "I can help you pass this level, but you are not allowed to touch the flour business in the future." ”
As a traveler in the new century, he has zero tolerance for flour, and he has nothing to do with gambling and drugs!
Xu Jiajun can support a black club that is in his own interests, but he will never support a poisonous club.
