Chapter 186: Fighting in the Ring (Third Update!)
There are many film companies in Hong Kong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In an absolute sense, this sentence is not very correct, and it will not be the case until the early 90s, when foreign capital entered the Hong Kong film industry in a big way.
At present, there are more than 30 film companies in Xiangjiang that can continue to make films, and there are more than a dozen companies that leave after making a movie every year.
In essence, except for the largest film companies in Xiangjiang, the rest of the Xiangjiang film companies are all speculative companies.
Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Film Company, of course, is not a one-man who just makes a fortune and leaves, Wu Siyuan is still a person who wants to make a career by himself.
It's just that Cheng Long, his biggest cash cow, has been poached by Golden Harvest - and it is not poached from him, because Cheng Long was originally Luo Wei's contracted actor.
With this year's very bright results, Wu Siyuan is unwilling to be lonely.
It is not his goal to make a few millions, he hopes that he can make ten movies a year, and then earn hundreds of millions, and become an existence like Shaw Brothers movies.
Although this goal seems very far away, Wu Siyuan is determined to do it.
Fortunately, although Cheng Long was gone, Wu Siyuan found a person who was much more bullish than Cheng Long - Yin Jun.
No matter how powerful Cheng Long is, that is, a kung fu star, compared with Yin Jun, who can create a star with a script, his natural grade and realm are much lower.
So, after careful planning, Wu Siyuan asked Yin Jun out for morning tea, and by the way, he also made his own request.
"What? you want a script too?" Yin Jun was surprised.
"Yes, Jun Shao, we are also friends, there is no reason why you are going to give Sanmao a script, but you won't give it to me, right?" Wu Siyuan poured tea for Yin Jun and said, "Don't worry, what is the market price, I will also give it." And I'm willing to give you a 10% profit share like the two major TV stations, how about it?"
His conditions were generous.
Wu Siyuan is actually a cheerful person, otherwise he would not have a good relationship with so many big stars and directors, and when he opened a theater in the mainland, there would still be so many star directors standing for him.
Originally, now, Jiashi has been out of business for a long time, and Xu Ke should be supported by him to shoot the famous work "Butterfly Change".
But due to Yin Jun's factors, Jiashi not only did not go out of business, but also very thriving, Xu Ke also filmed "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" that did not exist in his previous life in Jiashi, which was very well received, if it weren't for the fact that "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bao Qingtian" were too strong, it would definitely be able to occupy a position at 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock.
Xu Ke has succeeded in making two films in a row, such a talent is still Jiashi's own people, of course, he has to support it.
Liang Shuyi promised Xu Ke, who had already finished filming "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", that he would be given at least 30 days at 7 o'clock next year, and if he performed well, the next drama would be on the 8 o'clock schedule.
This is definitely a huge adventure for Jiashi, which almost relies on Yin Jun's works to play the 8 o'clock file, and it also shows the importance they attach to Xu Ke.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Xu Ke to defect to Wu Siyuan and become his director.
"I've been writing a script for Brother Sanmao recently, if Brother Yuan needs it......" Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "After the Spring Festival next year, I'll try to write one for you, what do you think?"
"Hey, I said Jun Shao, don't hesitate!" Wu Siyuan persuaded Yin Jun and said: "You give me a script, it is equivalent to being in a TV station, with other channels for selling scripts, whether it is Jiahe or Shaw Brothers, there is no way to underestimate you, and they can't lower the value of your labor results, right?"
"Time is so tight, can I give you a good book?" Yin Jun laughed helplessly.
"Don't be modest, as long as you can sell it for money, then I trust it. Wu Siyuan said unrelentingly: "You bring a notebook now, and we will sign a contract to give money." ”
"I've convinced you!"
Yin Jun sighed, "I can prepare a notebook for you, but you have to promise me three things." ”
Wu Siyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Jun Shao, you say!"
"The first one,I set up a prototype of this book.,It was originally going to be used by Brother Sanmao next year.,But now that you have this plan.,I can also help you.,But the actor can't change.。 Yin Jun said.
"Could it be that the protagonist is Sanmao?" Wu Siyuan felt that his head was too big, how could I invite this!
"It's not him, it's his junior brother Yuan Biao. Yin Jun said.
"Oh, Yuan Biao, that's easy to do!" Wu Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, although Yuan Biao had already started filming, most of them were supporting roles, and he hadn't been the protagonist yet, so it was naturally easy to move.
"The second condition, I hope this drama will be directed by Lin Zhengying. Yin Jun said.
"Lin Zhengying, can he do it?" Wu Siyuan frowned.
"Compared to his action director, his directing talent has not yet appeared, but there is no doubt that he is a well-rounded talent, otherwise how could Li Xiaolong value him so much back then?" Yin Jun said, "If Lin Zhengying doesn't direct well, I'll give you another script." ”
"Since Jun Shao, you said so, then what else can I say?" Okay!" Wu Siyuan immediately laughed when he heard Yin Jun's last words.
"The third condition, the action director, I hope to let viagra, Dong Wei to direct. Yin Jun said.
"Dong Wei, this young man is very good!" Wu Siyuan said hesitantly, "But since Lin Zhengying is here, can he still give up the position of action director to others?"
"He's all a director, can't he give others this opportunity?" Yin Jun said with a straight face, "Please ask Brother Yuan to communicate with him about this matter, no matter what, viagra is also his junior brother, he will not be so stubborn." ”
"That'...... I'll talk about it!" Wu Siyuan didn't dare to guarantee, "If it really doesn't work, I'll give Wei Zai the position of the first deputy action director." ”
"I hope it's the action direction. Yin Jun insisted again.
"I'll do my best!" Looking at Yin Jun's attitude, Wu Siyuan could only stubbornly add a guarantee.
The next moment, he said with some excitement, "Jun Shao, what is this story about?"
"This story is about the story of Mr. Ryazan in Foshan. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice.
"Ryazan?" Wu Siyuan said in surprise, "Isn't Sanmao going to release a movie about Ryazan next month?"
"He is talking about the story of Ryazan when he was old, and the protagonist is not Ryazan. Yin Jun said, "How is it, do you have the confidence to fight with him?"
"Why don't you dare?" Wu Siyuan said without thinking.
In terms of strength and influence, Wu Siyuan is much stronger than Hong Jinbao.
Besides, this movie is Yin Jun's script, can it be worse than Hung Jinbao's?
It's just that he has also made up his mind in his heart.
It takes time to make this film, and it will definitely not be released until after the Spring Festival in February, so that it can completely diverge from Hung Jinbao's movie, so as not to make the audience have aesthetic fatigue.
Until Wu Siyuan left, he didn't think about why Yin Jun took out a script similar to "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qian Hua" to him.
This is because Yin Jun wants to let the filmmakers of Xiangjiang see what a really good story is with the same movie character and the same background.
Yin Jun also wants everyone to know that only by constantly conceiving better stories can there be better returns.
The pay and return must be proportional!
The script that will be given to Wu Siyuan is Yuan Biao's real masterpiece - "The Loser".
Of course, this "Loser" is not the original Loser, one-third of the plot and scenes in it have been redesigned by Yin Jun, and even added a little element of the future "Once Upon a Time" series.
After writing and comparing the two, Yin Jun felt that he could at least increase his strength by more than 50%.
Although Yuan Biao began to play various soy sauces in the early 70s, and after 75 years, he also began to exercise various supporting roles, which is relatively brilliant, but there has never been a movie that can make him a major beam.
That is, two years later, Hong Jinbao felt that his movie path was too simple, so he created a new star to come out, and Yuan Biao, an obedient and martial arts junior brother, became the best choice for Hong Jinbao.
If it is changed at other times, Yuan Biao has a lot of fatal shortcomings.
For example, he is relatively short, for example, his appearance is very average, for example, he does not have a strong aura...... Wait a minute.
This is also an important reason why Yuan Biao did not really become a first-class kung fu superstar.
But at present, in the current Xiangjiang film industry, Yuan Biao is a very good potential star.
First of all, his martial arts kung fu is relatively good, even more solid than Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long.
Then Yuan Biao's relationship network is very strong, Hong Jinbao takes care of him, Cheng Long treats him well, plus a few senior brothers who will be martial arts instructors and producers in the future, they also like this little junior brother very much, so in the 80s and 90s, Yuan Biao got a lot of opportunities and performed a lot of classic movies.
Although Yuan Biao really failed to excel in the movies he starred in, the movies he collaborated with his two senior brothers are classics among the classics.
"Plan A", "Plan A Sequel", "Food Truck", "Oriental Condor", etc., will not feel outdated when you watch it in ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years, and you can still watch it with relish.
"The Loser", which was released at the end of 1982, had a box office of about 9 million in this city.
Yin Jun is pushing Yuan Biao out now, not to let him get rid of Hung Jinbao's support, but to complete his layout in Xiangjiang movies as soon as possible.
You must know that Yuan Biao has not become popular in the mainland, but for two years, this small man has become more famous than Cheng Long in Japan! )
