Many filmmakers in Hong Kong are not very professional. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the film companies in Xiangjiang have the idea of making a fortune and leaving, and they have never thought about doing this business for a long time, let alone maintaining this market.

Therefore, they are usually like sharks, seeing what type of movie is making money, they rush to follow the trend and shoot until the series is made bad, and the audience doesn't buy it at all.

Historically, it was the zombie movie created by Hung Jinbao and them that was crazy in a few years.

Next is the biopics of heroes that began around 85, such as Lei Luo, Rimbaud, Lame Hao, etc., which were also made impossible to shoot anymore by a swarm of bad movies.

In the 90s, the first thing to bear the brunt of was gambling movies, and in just two or three years, more than 30 gambling movies were released, and people had to vomit when they watched it.

Later......

There will be no future for Xiangjiang movies.

If it weren't for the cheekiness to survive on the mainland market, Xiangjiang Films would have basically been finished around 2000.

The root of all this is not simply the reason for filmmakers and speculators, but the whole Xiangjiang society and the overall atmosphere of Xiangjiang.

All Xiangjiang people do everything the same as making movies, so movies are the same as their previous toy industry, small electronic goods industry, etc., and they will collapse after glory, which is normal, and it is not normal if they don't cross.

However, it can't be said that Xiangjiang Movies can't even find a person with vision.

There are still many people with vision.

The first is Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cai Yongchang, a group of high-level executives of Golden Harvest.

They have always attached great importance to foreign markets, and have been constantly developing towards Hollywood, which has consumed a lot of profits, and the results achieved are still very average, so after Cheng Long left, Hong Jinbao and Xu Guanwen and others were no longer majestic, Golden Harvest was finally difficult to continue and fell into loneliness.

And then the Wu Siyuan in front of him is also one of them.

In the 70s and 80s, it may not have been noticed, but after 2000, he worked hard to develop towards the mainland and became a pivotal figure in the link between Hong Kong and the mainland film industry, which shows that he has a very long-term vision and a filmmaker with superb means.

Wu Siyuan in the previous life, although he was born from the Shaw Family, has always had a good relationship with Zou Wenhuai, since the 80s, Siyuan Company is Golden Harvest's satellite company, and he himself has also held a position within Golden Harvest, which is why he will come to Hong Jinbao's celebration banquet today One of the important reasons.

Cheng Long's "Serpentine Diaoman" released in March this year was produced by Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Company, and Cheng Long also borrowed it from Luo Wei, and made an appointment with Cheng Long to make two films for him at that time, and now "Serpentine Diaoman" has been released, and "Drunken Fist" is scheduled at the beginning of next month, so that Wu Siyuan is both looking forward to it and some speculation.

After all, he is not the teenager in front of him, not this genius who writes a hot script like drinking water, although he has done his best in "Drunken Fist", but what the situation is, it depends on the market to decide.

Today's banquet originally did not have Wu Siyuan, except for him, most of the people are from the Seven Little Blessings, Lin Zhengying has also known Hong Jinbao for more than ten years, and is considered to be the most important martial arts instructor in the Hong family's class, which can be regarded as his own person.

In addition to learning martial arts from his father, Yuan Heping also studied drama with Master Yu for a period of time, and can also be called Hong Jinbao's classmate. - By the way, Cheng Long's "Serpentine Trickster" became famous, which was directed by Yuan Heping.

In comparison, Wu Siyuan's relationship is still much farther away.

But today, when he saw Cheng Long changing into new clothes and preparing to go out, he asked casually, I heard that Hong Jinbao set up a banquet to invite guests to a big dinner, and when the object of the treat was Yin Jun, who has recently become a hot mess in the Xiangjiang TV industry, Wu Siyuan was immediately moved, and after calling Hong Jinbao, he followed.

He certainly wasn't here to eat, but for something else.

Therefore, in the middle of the banquet, while Hong Jinbao was happily drinking with everyone, Wu Siyuan quietly talked to Yin Jun about a few words.

At about 9 o'clock, after the banquet was dispersed, Wu Siyuan pulled Cheng Long, who had already drunk a lot of wine.

"What?Brother Yuan?" Cheng Long was a little drunk, but his alcohol consumption was very good, but he was not drunk.

"Go to the bathroom inside and wash your face, then follow me to a place. Wu Siyuan pointed to the inside of the hotel.

At this time, Hong Jinbao and the others had already left, although Cheng Long had a big mouth, he was not stupid, he knew that Wu Siyuan must have something very important to keep himself, so he hurriedly ran in to wash.

Cheng Long has debuted for so many years, and it wasn't until the beginning of this year that he became popular, and the driving force behind all this is Wu Siyuan, and Wu Siyuan is very good to him, of course he is willing to listen to Wu Siyuan's words.

After a while, Cheng Long, who had washed his face, walked out, although his face was still drunk, but on the whole, he was already a lot more sober.

Wu Siyuan motioned for him to follow him, and the two immediately walked into a tea restaurant more than ten meters away from the Snow Garden Hotel.

The tea restaurants in Xiangjiang generally operate late, and some are still open all night, and now after 9 o'clock, there are still a lot of people in this tea restaurant.

Wu Siyuan took Cheng Long through the first floor, and when he reached the second floor, there were many fewer people here, and Cheng Long saw Yin Jun sitting on a table next to him at a glance, drinking milk tea slowly.

"Why is Jun here?" Cheng Long muttered.

"I invited him over, you will talk less later, be smart, you know?" Wu Siyuan whispered.

"Oh. ”

After Cheng Long finished answering, he followed Wu Siyuan and walked to Yin Jun's side with a smile.

"Mr. Wu, Brother Long. Yin Jun stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Ah Jun, sit, sit!" Wu Siyuan was very polite, "I'm older, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Yuan." ”

"Okay, Brother Yuan. ”

Yin Jun sat down with them, and after the waiter came to order, Yin Jun said again: "Brother Yuan, you came to me to talk about things, if I expected it to be correct, it should be for Brother Long's movie, right?"

"That's right. Wu Siyuan didn't expect Yin Jun to be so direct, but he was not a person who twisted, and said happily: "I want Ah Jun to write a script for Ah Long, what do you think? Don't worry! Brother Yuan will not treat you badly, Jiahe will give you 1 million, and I will also give you 1 million." ”

Yin Jun was stunned, "Didn't you only have a two-movie appointment with Brother Long?"

"This can be talked to Ah Wei, he couldn't find Ah Long's development direction before, and now I have done him a favor, I believe it is not difficult to do this thing. Wu Siyuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Luo is not such a good talker, especially Brother Yuan, you don't have this opportunity anymore. Yin Jun said with deep meaning.

"What do you mean?"

"I've seen the promotional poster in the movie theater, and in two weeks, Brother Long's "Drunken Fist" will be released, right?"

"yes. ”

"I don't know Brother Yuan, what is your estimate of the box office?"

Yin Jun was talking in a circle like this, Wu Siyuan was a little foggy, why did he come here again?

But he still honestly stated his guess, "Aaron's movie is very good, if there are no accidents, I think it should be better than "Serpentine Trickster", and it should reach a high box office of about 4 million." ”

"In my understanding, Brother Long is a very potential star, but his path has diverged before. Yin Jun didn't dare to say that he was an international superstar, let alone that Cheng Long could win the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, otherwise the two would definitely think he was crazy, "After your enlightenment and inspiration, Brother Yuan, I believe that Brother Long has figured out the path he wants to take in the future." Then from now on, what is in front of him is the Cotai Boulevard.

The box office of "Drunken Fist" will definitely be very high, I estimate that it should be more than 5 million. If it's really this box office, do you think Mr. Luo will be willing to let Brother Long go to you again and let you make money? And if Brother Long reaches this level, do you think Golden Harvest will stand by and watch? Don't forget, they have always wanted to find a second Li Xiaolong, can you compete with Golden Harvest?"

Wu Siyuan suddenly realized when he heard this, it turned out that what Yin Jun wanted to say was here.

It's just that Cheng Long listened to "the second Li Xiaolong", and his face showed a trace of unnaturalness.

Yin Jun smiled when he saw this, "Brother Long, this is just people's prejudice. Everyone admires Li Xiaolong's achievements, but Li Xiaolong is Li Xiaolong, and he has only one. And you are Cheng Long, **************, Cheng Long who turns into a dragon in the face of a storm! As long as you follow your own philosophy, sooner or later you will surpass Li Xiaolong!"

At least Li Xiaolong did not win the Oscar.

Yin Jun added such a sentence in his heart.

Some people say that Cheng Long won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, which is lucky, and after the 21st century, the influence of the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, so Hollywood also has a lot of kneeling and licking China, and the Oscar is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

But they don't want to think about it, why is it Cheng Long, not someone else? If it weren't for Cheng Long's hard work in filming for more than 40 years, would the Oscar give him the Lifetime Achievement Award?

When Cheng Long heard this, his face suddenly looked much better.

He is not famous yet, what he is most afraid of is being seen as "Li Xiaolong's successor" and "Li Xiaolong's second", as a person with career ambitions, he is naturally willing to be Cheng Long's first.

Wu Siyuan's face was a little ugly.

Thinking back on what Yin Jun said, of course he understood what Yin Jun meant.

No matter how optimistic he is about Cheng Long, the cooperative relationship between him and Cheng Long should be just this "Drunken Fist".

In the future, even if Cheng Long jumps out of Luo Wei's company, he will not come to his Siyuan Film Company, and Golden Harvest will definitely snatch him away.

Therefore, Yin Juncai said that Wu Siyuan did not have this opportunity.

He worked hard to dig out the characteristics of Cheng Long, tailor-made a movie for Cheng Long, and spent a lot of relationships to invite Old Man Yuan and Yuan Laoba to help set off Cheng Long, which led to the great success of Cheng Long's "Serpentine Trickster".

Seeing the great popularity of "Snake Trick", Wu Siyuan immediately understood that he had found the right direction, and hurriedly cooperated with Cheng Long to come out with such a "Drunken Fist", this "Drunken Fist" Cheng Long has more room to play, even He Guanchang of Golden Harvest thinks that he is much more mature and sublimated than "Snake Trickster", and gradually has the shadow of a superstar.

Even a big man like He Guanchang......

Wait a minute!

Wu Siyuan's heart was shocked.

I don't know when He Guanchang has come to the set to watch the filming of "Drunken Fist" every once in a while, or even every day.

If it was before, he would not think that now that he heard Yin Jun say this, He Guanchang, this old guy, must have been premeditated!

No wonder, no wonder he praised Cheng Long, and often pulled Cheng Long to chat, and carefully explained to him the details to be paid attention to in the movie!

I see!

This old fox!

Wu Siyuan's heart suddenly brightened at the same time, but he sighed abruptly.

Since Golden Harvest really has this meaning, how can its own small film company compete with them?

Thinking that he had worked hard, but he was making wedding dresses for others, Wu Siyuan felt another wave of anger in his heart.

Cheng Long was also scared in a cold sweat at this time.

He Guanchang had already invited him to eat several times without Wu Siyuan's knowledge, which was more or less solicitative.

Especially in this month, He Guanchang has made it clear that he wants him to pass the Golden Harvest, and there is no problem with all the liquidated damages, and he directly gave him a cash check of 1 million first!

Cheng Long was moved at that time.

After the success of "Serpentine Trickster", Wu Siyuan gave him 50,000, and Cheng Longren was also simple and honest, and directly gave 50,000 to his boss Luo Wei.

Luo Wei also did it, he signed a contract with Cheng Long before, saying that he would give him 3,000 for a play, and now he lent Cheng Long to Wu Siyuan, and he has already collected the money, and then Cheng Long earned 50,000 and handed it to him, he has to give half of it, right?

No, Luo Wei still only gave Cheng Long 3000.

Cheng Long didn't say anything at the time, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His contract with Luo Wei expired in 1979, and now it is only about a year away.

He is already relatively famous, but Luo Wei still treats himself like a little minion, and Cheng Long is naturally not very happy.

So, He Guanchang's 1 million cash check was put into Cheng Long's arms.

Cheng Long's most trusted person is naturally not Luo Wei, let alone Wu Siyuan, but his agent Chen Zhiqiang.

Cheng Long felt that his filming was hopeless, so he ran back to Australia to prepare for other work, but Chen Zhiqiang, who was still a manager at Luo Wei Film Company at the time, chased him to Australia and found him back.

And Cheng Long's stage name was also given to him by Chen Zhiqiang, before Cheng Long's stage name was called Yuanlou, and Yuanlong was his senior brother Hong Jinbao.

It is precisely because of the sharing of adversity that Cheng Long regards Chen Zhiqiang as his brother, and Chen Zhiqiang is also his agent, so he will tell him everything.

Cheng Long told Chen Zhiqiang about this when he went back, and after Chen Zhiqiang heard it, he immediately asked Cheng Long to return the money.

Cheng Long was unwilling, so Chen Zhiqiang said three words to him.

"Are you willing to forget Luo Wei's support for you in the past few years and leave with an ungrateful reputation?"

"Jiahe's side, the conditions for digging you are so high, the contract must be more demanding, otherwise how can they make money back?"

"Why don't you wait until you're more successful and then sell at a price? Do you think now is your limit?"

Hearing this, Cheng Long immediately came to his senses and returned the money to He Guanchang, which surprised He Guanchang.

But He Guanchang was not angry, but appreciated Cheng Long more and more, and proposed to accept Cheng Long as his godson.

With He Guanchang's status and status, being Cheng Long's godfather is purely promoting him, and with Cheng Long's help in the future, he will naturally develop more smoothly in the film circle.

Cheng Long was still hesitating about this, after all, he knew that He Guanchang was just to recruit him to go to Jiahe, and with Chen Zhiqiang's reminder, he hadn't made a decision yet.

Today, Wu Siyuan came to Yin Jun to write a script for him, and Cheng Long was very happy.

Because of Yin Jun's script, the senior brother Hong Jinbao suddenly rose from the previous box office of one or two million to 5 million box office.

But Cheng Long didn't expect that Yin Jun not only did not agree to write the script, but also directly said why he didn't write the script, which involved Cheng Long's future.

The key to Cheng Long's horror is that Yin Jun's analysis is similar to Chen Zhiqiang's analysis of his future path, he has never been in contact with him before, why is he so familiar with himself, this is simply terrifying!

Fortunately, Wu Siyuan no longer has the heart to pay attention to Cheng Long, otherwise he will definitely find that the contact between Cheng Long and Jiahe is deeper than he imagined.

Wu Siyuan's mind is now full of paste, angry, helpless, and desperate...... And so on the negative emotions are piled up.

"Brother Yuan, I don't think you need to be disappointed. Yin Jun waited for a while before speaking, "Actually, I think this is a good thing for you. ”

"Good thing?" Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly.

"It allows you to see yourself clearly and find your own direction. Yin Jun said.

"Huh?"

"What I'm talking about proves that you're not fit to train stars and grow your own film company. After you have a good script, invite good stars to star in your own movies, so that everyone can cooperate to make money. Yin Jun said, "For example, Brother Long, you said that with your kindness to help him find the right direction, if there is any movie, you ask him to help make one, he will not disagree, right?"

"Of course not. Cheng Long hurriedly said at this time, "Brother Yuan, I am not an ungrateful person, as long as you have a calling, I will definitely try my best to help." ”

"Then, you have an outstanding vision, so that you can see that other people's scripts are good, so you can invest in them, cooperate with that director, and everyone will make a movie together, won't you make a fortune together?"

Wu Siyuan's eyes were getting brighter and brighter when he heard this.

When Yin Jun finished speaking, his eyes sparkled, obviously inspired.

Just like Yin Jun said, stop from this road and look at other roads, maybe it will be wider and straighter, and it will be easier to lead to success?

In fact, in his previous life, after Wu Siyuan did not recruit Cheng Long, he did not fail, because at this time, Jiashi went out of business, and he signed the newcomer producer who performed well in Jiashi to his company.

The name of this executive producer is Xu Ke.

Although Xu Ke was recruited by Xinyicheng after only making two movies, Xu Ke still remembers Wu Siyuan very much.

So after he established the studio, he deepened his cooperation with Wu Siyuan, including Li Lianjie's Huang Feihong series, which was basically funded by Wu Siyuan, and then personally helped to do the producer, and finally the two achieved great success in martial arts movies together.

This happens to be the same path as Yin Jun and him.

Wu Siyuan, a person who has no big backers, but has excellent eyesight and superb communication skills, is suitable for this routine!

And Yin Jun still had something to say to him.

If Wu Siyuan has been trained for a few years, after Yin Jun's film and television career starts, he will be entrusted to go to the mainland for further cultivation and development.

With rich experience, Wu Siyuan will definitely be like a fish in water when the time comes, and he will definitely be able to pave a bright road for Xiangjiang Films to enter the mainland market! )
