Zhang Ce is 56 years old this year.

At this age when ordinary people should consider retirement, he came out of Shaw Brothers and opened his own film company.

Whatever he thinks, the courage alone is remarkable.

Of course, whether the film company can do a good job and meet his expectations is another matter.

In fact, Zhang Ce's Changhe Film Company has always been a money-losing product, but the first two or three movies made money, but they all failed later, and they lost a lot of money, and finally had to close the company and take his wife to the staff dormitory of Shaw Brothers Film to live temporarily.

The reason for Zhang Ce's failure is simple.

Because he can't keep up with the times.

80 and 81 have been better in the past two years, and there is still some market for old-school martial arts movies.

Once the big-budget movie of Xinyicheng is released, waiting for Cheng Long to be stimulated into the attributes of modern witty police movies, Zhang Ce will be completely eliminated.

This can't be said to be cruel, it can only be said that this is an inevitable stage in the development of film.

This is the case in any industry, a generation of new people replace the old, do not adapt to the times, and can only be eliminated.

Not everyone is called Woody Allen.

It's a bit surprising to say.

Zhang Ce, who was in his previous life, started his own company last year and made several movies in one go, and three years later, "The Thirteen Taibao of Shanghai Beach" will be his last afterglow in Xiangjiang.

But this life is different, perhaps because the pressure on Jiahe and Xinyicheng is too great, Shao Yifu stayed with Zhang Ce for an extra year.

And Zhang Ce also relied on last year's whimsical "Golden Sword Woman", which had never appeared in his previous life, and suddenly hit a high box office of 8 million Hong Kong dollars, and the most important thing is that he actually sold 22 million Hong Kong dollars in one go, which made him completely raise his eyebrows.

As a result, Zhang Ce also began to make a living and the idea of establishing his own door.

It's just that looking at the current competition for hegemony in the Xiangjiang film industry, Zhang Ce behaved very cautiously, and directly learned the methods of Wu Siyuan and Hong Jinbao, and asked Yin Jun for a notebook, which he used as a pioneering work.

After getting the book "Jin Yiwei", Zhang Ce liked it very much.

This is about a Jinyi Wei master who is against the evil forces, similar to the setting of a lonely hero, which is very much an appetite for Zhang Ce.

Without hesitation, Zhang Ce chose his most powerful disciple - Di Long to play the male protagonist Qinglong, and the heroine is naturally Hui Yinghong, who has made great contributions.

Originally, Zhang Ce preferred Fu Sheng, his most spiritual foundation, but unfortunately Fu Sheng's fame is not as big as Di Long, as the pioneering work of Changhe Company, of course, Di Long, who is more famous and has a more guaranteed box office, will star.

Whether it is Di Long or Fu Sheng, or the disciples of Zhang Ce who appeared in the movie, they are all signed actors of Shaw Brothers movies.

is also the relationship between Zhang Ce and Shao Yifu is too good, and Zhang Ce said a long time ago that the movies of his Changhe Company will be released by Shaw Brothers, which makes Shao Yifu regard Changhe Company as Shaw Brothers' satellite company - just like those of Golden Harvest, so there is no obstacle to borrowing these disciples to come out to film.

The people who come out of Shaw Brothers movies have a characteristic, that is, they are filming very fast.

Wang Fatzi is like this, Du Qifeng is like this, and Zhang Ce is of course like this.

From the end of December, when he got the book, after pondering for more than ten days, he began to gather his disciples to shoot.

In the middle, excluding the 7 days of the Spring Festival, it took a total of 35 days for "Jin Yiwei" to be filmed, and then it was post-production and waiting for release.

The reason why Shaw Brothers decided to release "Jin Yiwei" one day after "The Story of Hu Yue" is not that they deliberately fight in the ring, but that the two movies are not the kind that can dominate the box office, even if they are together, there is not much conflict.

Besides, a literary film and a martial arts film, the audience is obviously not overlapping.

Zhang Ce himself is also very satisfied, because in late April, Cheng Long's new film "Red Fan Zone" will be released worldwide.

It's hard to say elsewhere, here in Xiangjiang, there are Yin Jun's script and Cheng Long's starring, so if there are no too strong movies in the same period, they are basically delivered food.

When he got up in the morning, Zhang Ce went outside to drink morning tea, slept for another two hours at noon, and when he woke up, he was already in good spirits, and under the escort of Jiang Dawei's car, he came to a Shaw Brothers theater on Guangdong East Road.

This cinema is one of the two best in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and the other one is in Central, but not as big as this one.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Ce was greeted by dozens of reporters' flashing lights, and the momentum was so fierce that he almost didn't take two steps back.

"Director Zhang, are you here?"

"May I ask Director Zhang, are you optimistic about the box office of "Jinyiwei" on the first day today?"

"Yesterday, Junshao's other movie "The Story of Hu Yue" won 630,000 at the box office, how much do you think "Jin Yiwei" will surpass it?"

"Director Zhang, Shaw Brothers fully supports you this time, but there are only 17 Shaw Brothers co-screenings, which are not as good as the movie theaters of twenty or thirty people, do you feel a little aggrieved?"

"People say that Di Long is already out of breath, not as good as Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, what do you think?

“……”

The reporters rushed up and asked all kinds of questions, which made Zhang Ce have a headache.

Fortunately, a group of disciples not far away rushed over and escorted Zhang Ce into the hall of the theater, which made his head quiet.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ce said with some surprise: "Not only are there so many reporters, but there are also so many flower baskets...... What did you do?"

"It's not. Fu Sheng said with a smile, "These reporters don't know what medicine they have taken wrong, so they came here in the afternoon, and it is still increasing." The flower basket was given by some celebrities, it should be for the sake of your face, Master!"

"Yes, Master, you have been in the film industry for so many years, and you have a lot of acquaintances, how can they not come to cheer?" another apprentice joked beside him.

When Zhang Ce heard this, he smiled, and he didn't care about it.

At this time, Hui Yinghong, who was greeting guests inside, walked out, wearing jeans and a white shirt, she was very capable, and she was very beautiful.

"Godfather, Uncle Chu and Uncle Wang have already arrived, and there is still a while before the show starts, do you want to go and sit down first?" Hui Yinghong asked with a chuckle.

Uncle Chu is Chu Yuan, and Uncle Wang is Wang Tianlin, they are all from the Shaw Brothers, and they have been friends with Zhang Ce for decades.

Although there have been a lot of fights between each other, now that they are older, they are naturally not as hot as before.

"Well, okay, I'm ......"

Before Zhang Ce's words were finished, suddenly the sound of "Peng" came from outside.

When he turned his head, he saw that a small apprentice who was following him outside had rushed in.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ce scolded, "You walk frizzy!"

"No, it's not, Master...... Jun Shao...... Yin Jun is here!" The little apprentice stammered a little in excitement, "He brought a lot of stars such as Zhou Yanfa and Wu Weiguo to come over to cheer!"

"Huh!?"

Zhang Ce was also surprised.

I don't have any friendship with Yin Jun, and I even ask for a script...... Well?

His eyes turned to Hui Yinghong, "Ah Hong, Yin Jun was invited by you?"

"I ......" Hui Yinghong's heart is also a little messy now, she wants to run away, why did this guy come suddenly?

Zhang Ce didn't have time to ask a few more questions, but he heard the hearty laughter of Di Long and Jiang Dawei standing outside.

Seeing a handsome and handsome young man standing in front of the two, Zhang Ce didn't care about talking to his goddaughter, so he quickly turned around and walked out.

"Hehe, Mr. Yin, why are you here? It's really brilliant!" Zhang Ce is also an old Jianghu, he took Yin Jun's hand a few steps forward, made a very familiar look, and let the reporters take a few more photos before taking Yin Jun inside, "Speaking of which, I originally wanted to ask you to correct the film I made, but you were busy with the filming of "Speed of Life and Death", so I didn't dare to alarm you......"

"Zhang Lao is polite. Yin Jun said kindly as he walked, "With your understanding of martial arts films, "Jin Yiwei" will definitely be very good. ”

"Where, my old routine has a lot of shortcomings, if you have time, Mr. Yin, I still look forward to you explaining it to me more. Zhang Ce said with some emotion: "The script and detailed explanation you asked Ah Hong to bring back last time were eye-opening for me. It also opened a new window for me, and gave me the confidence to fight for several years again. ”

Yes.

If you follow Zhang Ce's previous shooting method, it is definitely a male god who sells meat, and then uses cruel fights to render the atmosphere.

Xiangjiang people have been watching this practice for one or two decades, and they have long been tired of it.

Yin Jun gave "Jin Yiwei" this time, specifically in terms of style and color layout, as well as the smoothness of the whole film, and made a lot of reminders, just for fear that Zhang Ce would be overconfident, and he would shoot "Jin Yiwei" as before.

Now it seems that Zhang Ce didn't dare to say that he completely accepted Yin Jun's opinion, but he finally listened to it.

In this way, the box office will definitely not be bad, and I will have an explanation for Hui Yinghong's request for help.

In fact, the movie "Jin Yiwei" is handed over to Zhang Ce to shoot, it is better to hand it over to Hu Jinquan to shoot, his elegant and gorgeous style, although not as changeable as Xu Laowei, is also very good.

It's just that Yin Jun and Hu Jinquan don't have a relationship, and if they want to give favors, they will naturally be good for the talents around them.

Seeing Zhang Ce and Yin Jun walking in side by side, everyone looked at them, but Hui Yinghong shrank to the side.

But even so, Yin Jun didn't let her go.

The young man pretended to be very coincidental, and waved his hand to greet Hui Yinghong: "Sister Hong, are you here? I haven't seen you for so long, you are beautiful again!"

"Haha......"

A group of people, including Zhang Ce, laughed.

They thought that Yin Jun was ridiculing Hui Yinghong, but no one knew that these two people even went to bed, and their relationship was so close, how could Yin Jun simply tease her?

At least Hui Ying's red face turned red, and she glared at Yin Jun coquettishly, but she didn't say anything.

"After watching the movie later, Sister Hong, wait for me, Brother Wei has something for you to entrust!" Just in front of the big guys, Yin Jun said so arrogantly.

Hui Yinghong is a smart person in Bingxue, and immediately knew that he was doing this on purpose, and the more generous he was, the less others would guess the relationship between the two.

The relationship between the two ......

Phew!

Thinking of her boldness that night, Hui Yinghong quickly clenched her fists to dissipate the heat and shyness in her heart.

With Yin Jun's words, he will definitely not be able to escape later.

It's just that I don't know what Yin Jun is looking for himself.

That thing...... That thing has happened for so long, he didn't come to him halfway, and he happened to meet it today, so he shouldn't talk about it, right?

Or is it really that Brother Fan has something for himself?

But what if not?

If it's something so embarrassing that he wants to talk to himself...... What should I do?

Ah!

It's annoying!

The heroic young woman had a red and white face, and she didn't feel the sweat soaking out.
