Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 1859's Plan

Seeing the box office success, the film company also increased its promotional efforts.

Everyone at the film company was incredibly excited, like they'd been injected with adrenaline.

Zhou Zhixiong came to He Yuzhu with a company development plan in hand.

"Mr. He, this is a development plan I have prepared. Please take a look."

He Yuzhu began to read it carefully. He had to admit, Zhou Zhixiong was a talented individual.

He was not blinded by the achievements of the hero, and he stayed true to himself.

The core of his development plan is to maintain good relationships with other film and television companies and strive for win-win cooperation.

He Yuzhu supported the idea, and apart from pointing out a few minor issues, he didn't find any faults.

"Your plan is good. Let's proceed with it. Besides the issues I just raised, there's one more thing you should pay attention to."

Zhou Zhixiong immediately picked up his pen and notebook, ready to take notes carefully.

He Yuzhu's speech at that party began to show its power.

Before the film started, even the lead actors lacked confidence, but He Yuzhu was able to predict that the film would become the highest-grossing film of the year.

Based on this insight alone, no one would dare to underestimate He Yuzhu's opinion.

He Yuzhu said, "Your idea of ​​filming Jin Yong's martial arts novels is excellent."

However, the copyright period is too short.

My idea is to buy all the copyrights if possible.

If we really can't buy it, then how about we acquire the copyright for the next thirty years in mainland China?

"Copyright in mainland China?" Zhou Zhixiong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although the mainland has reformed and opened up, some areas are still subject to strict regulations.

The film industry is one of them.

"Mr. He, why did you single out the mainland?"

He Yuzhu explained, "Every Chinese person has a dream of martial arts. I believe that Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels will be very popular."

Filming is prohibited now, but that doesn't mean it will be prohibited in the future.

“But we’ve already started filming here?” Zhou Zhixiong explained.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "It's different. Our current filming uses only Hong Kong actors."

In the future, it will be necessary to film a movie using local actors.

Judging from Zhou Zhixiong's expression, he didn't seem to quite understand what He Yuzhu meant.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain to him. At that time, mainland China was still synonymous with poverty.

Zhou Zhixiong believes that Hong Kong productions are the best. If they are to be shown in mainland China, they can be directly used there.

But he forgot that society is constantly evolving. Poverty now does not mean backwardness in the future.

Seeing that He Yuzhu insisted, Zhou Zhixiong agreed: "There's another matter, which is that we're preparing to film a second part of A Better Tomorrow."

The second film was also a decent movie, though it didn't quite reach the heights of the first.

He Yuzhu recalled that there seemed to be quite a few problems when filming the second movie. The biggest problem was that the movie was being filmed without a complete script.

This is one of the reasons why the final box office results were not as good as the first film.

Now that He Yuzhu is here, we must avoid this problem and strive to make the second part surpass the first.

"Strike while the iron is hot, that's a good idea. But, is the script ready yet?"

"We already have an idea. Director Wu is going to ask Ni Kuang to help rewrite the script."

As expected, some things will not change. The script for the second part was originally rewritten by Ni Kuang.

He Yuzhu tapped his hand on the desk. He knew there would be some problems with the film.

However, he is not a professional film actor and cannot offer opinions on the content of the film.

If you ask him to suggest how to revise the movie, his ideas might not be as good as the ones that a few directors come up with on the spot.

It's a major taboo for an outsider to instruct an expert. If he really interferes, his newly established prestige will probably be ruined.

After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu said, "Filming is no problem, and funding is not a problem either."

I have two requests. First, the script. The script must be ready before filming begins. I hope the second film will surpass the first.

"If our company wants to truly establish itself in the film industry, we need another film to back it up." Zhou Zhixiong understood He Yuzhu's meaning; one film, "A Better Tomorrow," was not enough for the company to gain a foothold in the film industry.

This is also why he supports filming a second installment.

"Don't worry, the script issue will definitely be resolved."

He Yuzhu couldn't rest easy. He knew the Hong Kong film industry all too well.

The most famous thing is the filming of "East Meets West".

The actors were originally there to film "Ashes of Time," but the filming schedule was repeatedly delayed.

"The Eagle Shooting Heroes" was filmed out of necessity in order to recoup costs.

This is just one typical example; there are many other films without scripts.

However, He Yuzhu didn't have any good solutions.

"Pay close attention to the script. Another suggestion is to do an advertisement for Mr. Lou's clothing during filming."

No need to be too deliberate.

Fearing that it would offend the director and actors, He Yuzhu did not insist too much.

Making movies doesn't necessarily mean making money from them. You can earn money through other means as well.

Clothing is a good point.

Lou's Clothing is a well-known brand in Hong Kong, and its innovative design concepts have made it popular with the public.

The first film used Lou's clothing. After the film's release, Lou's clothing sales also surged.

Especially the outfit worn by Little Ma, it sold out completely.

However, in the first movie, for the sake of the film's visual appeal, there was no close-up of Mark's clothes.

He Yuzhu plans to give her a close-up shot in the second part.

Zhou Zhixiong thought for a moment and then agreed. As the CEO of a film and television company, he had comprehensive information.

He knew that the movie had boosted Lou's clothing business.

Moreover, the owner of Lou's is Lou Xiao'e, and the booming sales of Lou's clothing are also beneficial to him.

The filming funds also need to be transferred from Lou's Clothing.

BJ side
After Tang Yanling ran away, she never returned to the courtyard house.

Bang Geng went to look for Tang Yanling several times, but couldn't find her. He was even beaten up by Tang Yanling's brother.

He didn't dare to cause trouble outside, so he vented his anger in the courtyard.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for your terrible idea, Yanling wouldn't have been able to see me."

Qin Huairu became the punching bag for Bang Geng's anger.

This scapegoat should have been Sha Zhu. Whenever the Jia family encountered something unpleasant, Qin Huairu would dump the trouble on Sha Zhu.

But in this lifetime, there was no such person as Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu had no way to shift the blame to others, so he had to bear it all himself.

Faced with Bang Geng's accusations, Qin Huairu could only weep bitterly.

Yi Zhonghai felt extremely distressed. According to the original script, he should have stood up, gone to Sha Zhu, and accused Sha Zhu of being heartless.

Then, through his silver tongue, he forced Sha Zhu to solve Qin Huairu's problem.

This way, Qin Huairu will be grateful.

But without Shazhu, he also lacked someone to transfer the trouble.

At this point, the only way to help Qin Huairu is to step in personally.

"You idiot, how dare you talk to your mother like that. She's only doing this for your own good."

Qin Huairu was waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak: "Zhonghai, stop talking. It's all my fault for being an incompetent mother."

If I had any ability, I wouldn't have let Bang Geng suffer.

This tactic is called retreating to advance.

By openly admitting her own incompetence, she was actually shifting the blame onto Yi Zhonghai.

She has a responsibility, and Yi Zhonghai has an unshirkable duty to stand up for Bang Geng.
