Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

The larger the market size, the more things that can be manipulated, so those out-of-date star directors in the inland areas of later generations will not live in a bleak life in their later years to the extent of those artist directors in Xiangjiang.

In the final analysis, the market is king, and only a large enough market demand can accommodate movies of various types.

With the continuous expansion of Yang Chen's industry, movie theaters, as the main output channel, are also expanding in Southeast Asia.

With the expansion of theater chains, Heung Kong Films is bound to have a larger market in the future. Once Shaw Brothers had the advantage of having a large number of movie theater chains in Southeast Asia, Boss Shao became the most influential media tycoon in Asia.

Now that the Shaw Brothers has fallen, although Golden Harvest has Ssangyong (Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long) to support the field successively, Golden Harvest has insufficient foundation. Xiangjiang can only rely on the quality of the movie to attract other partners.

But Shaw Brothers is different, because Boss Shaw started his career as a filmmaker in Southeast Asia in his early years, and he owns theaters all over Southeast Asia. No matter whether the movies he makes are good or not, the number of theaters can make up for the gap with Golden Harvest.

The reason why Shaw Brothers Movies closed down in later generations was not because Shaw Brothers Movies lost a lot of money, but because Boss Shaw himself was old and his energy was not as good as when he was young. In addition, he devoted himself to running the TV station in the later stage, which made Xiangjiang Movies the last card in the hole. was drawn away.

Without the theater chain under Shaw Brothers Films, after Southeast Asian countries restricted the import of Xiangjiang movies, it was completely cold, and there was no chance of a comeback.

Later generations of Lao Wang know that in order to make Chinese films go global, apart from relying on Cheng Long's group of capable superstars, the most important thing is to master the distribution channel of theaters.

If you don't have theaters to make movies, you won't be able to speak well.

Now ATV is in a state of prosperity, especially the newly established Asia Entertainment Media Group, which is hailed by the outside world as the largest media company in Asia in the future, and is likely to dominate the future entertainment market in Asia in the future.

As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning on a big tree. It is impossible for Tsui Hark not to understand this truth. As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows how to choose.

After discussing the script with Tsui Hark, Yang Chen said: "Well, don't be sure about the actor for now, I have someone here, if you can find him, you can use him when the time comes."

"I personally think that person has great potential, especially in martial arts action movies. If you want to have a greater breakthrough in movies, especially new martial arts, you need an actor like Cheng Long."

Tsui Hark couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is the boss talking about?"

Yang Chen said with a smile: "It's useless to say it now, he is not from Xiangjiang, so whether he can come to our place depends on whether there is a chance."

The reason why Yang Chen said this was mainly to attract Xu Ke's attention.

In this era, it’s not like the so-called popular stars of later generations, relying on top-level traffic one by one, they are awesome, acting in a movie or TV series, and accepting a play. It’s not uncommon for me to add and subtract scenes by myself, and what’s more, I teach the director how to shoot, which can also be seen in some actors.

If you don’t know how to act in a play, the director has to teach him by hand. If you can’t teach it, you can find a substitute. If you are unhappy, the director has to coax you, like serving a master. Serve people well, and don’t dare to offend them.

Why dare not offend?

Because people are hypocritical sometimes

They just make excuses, it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, they just drag you on for two days, no matter how good your director is, no matter how angry you are, he can still make you lose your temper.

As for changing actors, there is no such thing as well-known directors, but directors who are not very famous or have no sense of presence, the consequences of changing actors are something they cannot afford.

In addition to wasting time, there is also the fan traffic behind each star. It goes without saying how strong the fans are.

Those stars in later generations, that didn't make the director worry about it.

But in Xiangjiang, especially in this era, the number of celebrity entertainers who dare to ask the director to change the script according to his request can be counted on their fingers.

Apart from the investors, the directors of Xiangjiang are all the objects that celebrities need to curry favor with, no matter how popular the stars are, they have to obediently obey the director's arrangement when they arrive on the set.

If you can't act well, even a few words of scolding are light.

If you don’t shoot according to the director’s instructions, change the script randomly, add and subtract scenes yourself, it’s not bad to be abandoned. Once the director is unhappy, say a few words in front of the media, the reputation will be bad, and it’s nothing new to be blocked. .

Therefore, Yang Chen wanted to use his own opinion to let Tsui Hark know that he attached great importance to Li Lianjie, so as to avoid any unpleasant incidents between the two of them during their cooperation.

After all, every young person who becomes famous has his own temper and character, and it is difficult for ordinary people to control such a person.

Chapter 865 Yangcheng

end of April

After spending about a month leisurely in Xiangjiang, Yang Chen took Xue Yufei, who was on an inland journey for the first time, to Yangcheng (Guangzhou).

The person who followed Yang Chen to the inland last time was He Chaoqiong. Although Xue Yufei was busy with work this time, Yangcheng was relatively close to Xiangjiang, so it didn't take long to go back and forth.

Therefore, Xue Yufei took a little time to come with him.

"Achen, is this the special zone?" Xue Yufei looked at the bustling scene outside the car as the car passed through Shekou, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Looking at the storefronts with the same height outside the car, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the special zone, this road has changed a lot, when I passed by here last year, the houses on both sides of the road hadn't been built yet, now there are people doing business .”

Xue Yufei stuck her chin and looked out the window thoughtfully, at the crowds and low houses far away, not knowing how to describe what she saw.

Although she had always learned from Yang Chen's mouth how much development potential the inland area has after the reform and opening up, especially the current special zone, from Yang Chen's mouth, it is only a matter of time before this place surpasses Xiangjiang in the future.

To be honest, before she came here, she had been imagining what the special zone was like, because she had never been here, and now after seeing the special zone that Yang Chen said had changed a lot, she suddenly couldn't believe what Yang Chen said before.

Although the special zone has changed a lot, from a small fishing village to a small town that has begun to take shape, this is just the beginning. Naturally, the special zone at this time cannot be compared with the economically prosperous Xiangjiang.

This kind of gap is not for future generations. It is impossible to believe that in just three to forty years, the economy here will surpass that of Xiangjiang, an international metropolis that has been ahead for decades.

Yang Chen didn't notice the changes in the woman beside him, he was currently concentrating on admiring the scenery along the way.

There are tall buildings everywhere in the special zone in later generations. Compared with the present, it is really two different worlds. Being able to witness this change with his own eyes, Yang Chen has an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he doesn't know how to describe it.

We can learn a lot from many business leaders in later generations. Different times have created different characters.

The bigwigs who have experienced the background of the great era have a different temperament from the newly promoted rich men of later generations.

To put it more simply, it is a reckless temperament.

We can see the earliest batch of entrepreneurs in later generations. Their every move and words are very contagious. You can laugh at them sourly.

However, when they were bragging to you in a serious manner, the big guys listened with great interest, and even used their cowhide as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Even if it is someone like Boss Cao, the glass king, who is not very educated and whose appearance is one level lower than the richest man in Ma, what they say can make you unconsciously feel reasonable.

Those bigwigs are not afraid to talk in front of the media, which may have a lot to do with their background in the big era.

Only those who have really stepped out of this era will have that very obvious imprint of the times on them.

Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as courageous as others.

The richest man Wang of later generations has used his own words to explain the necessary conditions for people to succeed in this era.

This time, Yang Chen did not take the train to Yangcheng, but directly drove into the pass. Unlike other bosses who either took the train or chartered a bus and ran to Yangcheng in a low-key way, Yang Chen directly took his own motorcade this time. into the interior.

More than a dozen small cars came all the way, attracting many people to watch. He was able to enter in such a swaggering manner mainly because of special orders from above to pass.

The reason why Yang Chen made such a big show this time was mainly because Huo Daheng, when doing the first thing, especially in the inland during this period, it was a very difficult and troublesome thing.

In order to build the White Swan Hotel, Huo Daheng really exhausted his strength. For this big guy who helped him first, although Yang Chen couldn't repay him with anything substantial, he stood behind and gave Huo Daheng a knock. Playing the side drum is still no problem.

It took a few hours to drive all the way from Xiangjiang to Yangcheng. Yang Chen came here one day earlier in order to better visit the first five-star hotel in the inland area that reached the standard of a five-star hotel in the early days.
