Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Because you don't know the boss, what new ideas did he come up with that day, which caught you off guard.

Chapter 531 Seven Little Fortunes Switched to ATV

After talking about the beauty pageant and singing competition, Yang Chen called Huang Xizhao back to the chairman's office.

"Mr. Huang, have Sammo Hung and the others come to ATV?"

Huang Xizhao nodded and said, "Yesterday, a few people signed a contract with ATV's talent department, and they also handed over a script. I thought it was good, so I approved it."

To be honest, Huang Xizhao couldn't help being a little surprised that Yang Chen had just cooperated with Golden Harvest and poached the other party's corner in a blink of an eye.

If it's one or two, it's okay to say, once Yang Chen dug, he directly dug Hong Jinbao and the other seven little blessings over. He didn't have to think about it, just guessing with his toes, he could guess that Jiahe and the two would be cursing.

After all, the status of Sammo Hung and his party in Golden Harvest was second only to the Xu brothers. As for Cheng Long, the other party was only one person after all.

"Oh, they're all signed?" Yang Chen was taken aback when he heard the words.

Huang Xizhao grinned: "They all signed, not only the Seven Little Fortunes headed by Sammo Hung, but also their former members of Debao Company signed contracts with the artist department."

To be honest, the star entertainers in ATV's talent department are not willing to set up their own small companies, because it will not only be troublesome, but also not earn much money.

ATV's talent department does not prohibit actors from privately investing in ATV-approved films, as long as they have money, they will always come.

The salary is not low, and you can also participate in the investment of ATV's various movies and TV shows. If you are confident, you can also direct and act on your own. If the funds are not enough, ATV will also help raise money.

In this case, who would like to go it alone.

Knowing this, Sammo Hung brought his own juniors here. Leaving nothing else aside, ATV's straightforwardness in investing in movies already made Sammo Hung feel much more comfortable staying at ATV than staying at Golden Harvest.

"You go and inform Hong Jinbao and Lin Zhengying, and ask them to come to my office."

"Okay, boss." Huang Xi responded, then turned and left.

After leaving the office, Huang Xizhao couldn't help but be thankful that when Sammo Hung handed him the movie script yesterday, he thought that the other party was new, no matter what, they couldn't let the other party down, so he agreed with a swipe of the pen.

Looking at it now, it was obvious that his boss didn't attach great importance to Sammo Hung and the others. Now that he was ready to meet with the other party, his intentions were obvious.

dong dong——

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on Yang Chen's office door.

"Please come in." Yang Chen responded, and continued to write on the table. To be precise, it was writing a script.

He promised to create a tailor-made script for Lin Zhengying, so of course he didn't just talk about it, and Lin Zhengying is most familiar to future generations than the image of the priest in zombie movies.

The Taoist image of Lin Zhengying, Yang Chen still remembers it most, is that in Mr. Zombie movie, Lin Zhengying played Maoshan Taoist Ninth Uncle, the image of Taoist priest holding a mahogany sword and wearing Taoist robes is like ghosts and gods.

When I watched it when I was a child, I just found it very enjoyable. I liked tearing up a piece of paper, licking it with my tongue, sticking it on my forehead, and jumping like the zombie image in the movie.

When I was young, I really didn’t know what it meant to be afraid. The more scary things were, the more I liked to watch them. The bigger the back, the after-effects appeared. I often had nightmares at night, and I didn’t even dare to turn off the lights all night. His eyes stared at the ceiling.

Of course, the more classic the role, the easier it is to bind a person.

With a single role, generations of people are influenced, and many people live and drink for a lifetime with a single role.

Lin Zhengying belongs to that kind of person. He created the image of the leader of the zombie film, so that when everyone sees him, his identity as the ninth uncle is automatically added in their minds.

After Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying opened the door and came in, they originally wanted to say hello to Yang Chen, but seeing Yang Chen lying on the table seriously writing something, the two opened their mouths and closed them again.

Yang Chen, who couldn't hear anything, looked up with a puzzled expression, only to see Hong Jinbao and Lin Zhengying's distant cats standing still at the door, Yang Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What are you doing standing there?"

"Boss (Yang Sheng, uh, boss)" the two hurried over to say hello. Sammo Hung changed quickly and was not at all awkward. , they have always been the two bosses of Jiahe, and they are not used to Yang Chen's immature face for a while.

"You sit down and drink tea first, I'll be fine soon."

The two of them glanced at the table, it was densely packed, and they wrote almost half a page. After nodding their heads, they sat across from Yang Chen.

While writing, Yang Chen asked without raising his head: "I heard from Manager Huang that you have a new movie, Sanmao?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Yang Chen continued: "How is it? Can the filming be finished by the end of the year?"

Sammo Hung: "There will be no problem at the end of the year. Ah Ying and I have been anticipating this movie for a long time. Before Golden Harvest, the funding has been stuck, so it has been delayed."

Yang Chen raised his head and said with a smile: "In the future, that kind of thing won't happen again at ATV, but ATV has very high requirements for the quality of movies, this is your first work here, don't smash the signboard.

You should have known that ATV can accept external investment. Whether the performance is good or not will directly affect the trust of investors in you. "

Sammo Hung nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will pay attention."

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by Yang Chen, Sammo Hung is also aware of this point, Xiangjiang movies have been better for a few days, now one or two months, and then half a year or a year later.

To put it bluntly, it means that the quality of movies is improving, people watch more, and their eyes are picky. If they don't keep pace with the times, they won't be able to eat this bowl of rice.

"I said last time that I want to write a script for Ah Ying. Hey, what do you guys think?"

Yang Chen handed the draft to the two of them. Regarding the plot of Mr. Zombie, he only briefly described it, and did not detail the entire plot.

After the two of them watched it, Yang Chen said: "I think the image of Uncle Jiu in the film is very suitable for Ah Ying, maybe he will become famous because of it, but"

Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying raised their heads together, looking like they were waiting for the afternoon.

"There is one thing you need to be mentally prepared for Ah Ying, that is, this movie may start a brand new series of movies, and your impression may become popular at that time, but after the fire, your image is likely to be fixed. You were in other movies at the time, but you"

Yang Chen didn't say the whole thing, but the meaning is obvious, it depends on how the other party chooses.

To be honest, if Lin Zhengying's acting career hadn't been for the zombie series of movies, he would have been reduced to a golden supporting role like the others in Seven Little Fortunes, and he would never have the lead role.

Chapter 532 Stepping towards the Taoist leader's steps

Sometimes, the fate of a person is really doomed from birth.

Everyone in the Seven Little Fortunes is not short of opportunities, and they work very hard, but the film and television industry has always been a place where people rely on their faces and talents. Not everyone who has opportunities and talents can become popular and become a big star.

Either be beautiful and invincible, or ugly and unique, even if you are mediocre, you must show your high EQ...

Lin Zhengying, who has been in the film and television industry for almost ten years, knows how difficult it is for a person to have an opportunity. To become famous in one fell swoop, strength and luck are indispensable.

A person doesn't even have the chance to become the protagonist, do you think you will care about your own affairs after becoming famous?

Lin Zhengying is like this at the moment, he doesn't care about being confined within the framework after becoming famous, if that's the case, it means that the role he played is very successful.

Lin Zhengying held Yang Chen's manuscript without any hesitation, and said, "Boss, I want to try."

Yang Chen: "I've decided, don't you regret it?"

"No regrets," Lin Zhengying said firmly, tightening her hands.
