Chapter 44 The Golden Princess Theater
Chapter 44 Princess Jinyuan Line
On April 13, the film "Best Partner" directed by Wang Jing officially premiered.
However, now that Tengyue Entertainment Company is on the right track, Su Cheng has not made a debut again. Instead, the Tengyue Cinema, which opened for the first time, has attracted many movie fans. After all, the "modern" version of the theater built here can be described as the "modern" version of the theater in later generations, and it has a sense of fashion.
The movie premiered very successfully, and Su Cheng still listened to Wang Jing's brag on the phone.
When the report came out on the second day, he was indeed shocked! The box office on the first day actually reached the highest premiere record among the videos produced by Tengyue Entertainment Company, with a box office of 620,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Due to the outstanding performance of "Best Partner", the box office of "Beware of Little Hand" that is still being released has dropped sharply to just HK$210,000. I am afraid that the box office of the film will be about HK$10 million in a few days!
At the same time, Xiang Huaqiang also spoke, saying that he had found the director who directed "The Wrong Car", not Yu Kanping from Wandao, but unexpected new director Fang Yuping, and the original executive director of the movie "Father and Son Love".
In fact, this is not the first time Fang Yuping has served as a director. As early as 1977, he filmed "Wild Kids". "The Song of Yuanzhouzi" is unknown, but it is a great film invited by the London Film Festival.
Currently working at Phoenix Film Company.
I just don’t know who introduced Xiang Huaqiang to this art film master? If he took action, the quality would not be low.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, the box office of the movie "Best Partner" rose sharply, and it made the total box office reach HK$1.53 million! HK$910,000 in a single day.
In an instant, "Best Partner" became popular and director Wang Jing was sought after. Even the gambling gambler Wu Mengda, who has always been unpopular with the media, became a typical representative of the "prodigal son's return". After all, a few months ago, the movie "Chasing Girls" was also one of his representative works!
However, on this joyful day, news suddenly came that Lisheng Cinema was about to be reorganized into Princess Cinema.
It's a bolt from the blue!
This is a big earthquake in the film industry! Once the news is accurate, it will change the early pattern of Xiangjiang's only Shaw Cinema, Jiahe Cinema, Lisheng Cinema, and Broadway Cinema.
In addition to being "isolated from the world" by Broadway theaters, it has since become a competition among the four companies: Shaw Cinema, Jiahe Cinema, Tengyue Cinema and Princess Cinema.
Judging from the current situation, Jiahe Cinema is targeted by Shaw Cinema and Tengyue Cinema. I don’t know what the situation is in Princess Cinema.
Just as the outside world was talking, Su Cheng was suddenly shocked. The Golden Princess Cinema was established earlier than before! I am afraid that the "New Art City" would be established not long before.
With Shi Tian, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming in, they will definitely have a place in the comedy market. After all, these people are talented. Even if he has obtained many outstanding movies in his previous life through the system, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not create better works again? Perhaps they will be greatly stimulated by the emergence of Tengyue Entertainment Company. A better "new works" will burst out!
...
Xinyang Restaurant.
In the private room on the second floor, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Teddy Robin, Tsang Zhiwei, Alan Tam, Liu Jiarong and others sat together.
While having a meal, Mai Jia, who was the invitation, asked, "I wonder what you are thinking about the previous proposal?"
His partner Shi Tian said directly: "No problem, I'll do it with you!"
Huang Baiming also nodded and said, "I won't leave the company for the time being, just change my name, it's harmless."
As for Teddy Robin, he raised his glass and stopped saying a word.
Tsui Hark was pulled in by force. Besides, he also knew that many companies didn't like the videos he made very much, and he and his wife Shi Nansheng agreed to stay in Mai Jia's company. Moreover, now there is a backstage boss Lei Juekun, who is not worried about investment at least.
The remaining screenwriters and deputy directors left behind by the original company had no objection.
When Alan Tam was about to come and say with a smile, "I'm here to eat and drink today. You all understand. I will come if you need to participate. As for joining, my main business is still in the music industry."
Hearing his words, Teddy Robin stretched out a thumb.
When it was Liu Jiarong's turn, he politely refused: "I just joined Tengyue Entertainment Company and don't want to change it."
Although he is the younger brother of Liu Jialiang and is also a member of the Liu family class, he hopes that he is not only an actor and martial arts director, but also a director. Neither his brother nor Mai Jia nor others are satisfied. Fortunately, the boss Su Cheng did not dislike his directorial ability. He was extremely grateful.
Liu Jiarong's words made Mai Jia silent. His bald head was still kept because of Sammo Hung! Both of them were "ambitious people". However, Mai Jia still cared about his own future after all. On the contrary, Sammo Hung's brothers were the brothers of the Hong family. Otherwise, he would never join the shackles of Tengyue Entertainment Company and open his own film company leisurely.
Even with Princess Jin Cinema, Mai Jia dared not say that he could suppress the arrogance of Tengyue Entertainment Company. Instead, he looked at Zeng Zhiwei on the side and said in a serious tone: "Awei, what are your plans?"
"I, I..." After whining for a long time, Zeng Zhiwei finally gritted his teeth and said, "I have resigned for a while and I'm going to be with you!"
If it were in the past, there would be no difference between them, whether under Sammo Hung or Mai Jia. After all, they were just small movie studios. But now, Tengyue Entertainment Company has Tengyue Cinemas. The company that Mai Jia is about to reorganize, including Golden Princess Cinemas, is a directly linked company.
Zeng Zhiwei and Liu Jiarong had different situations. When he started to come into contact with the film industry, there were two people who needed gratitude, one was Liu Jialiang, and the other was Mai Jia.
Liu Jialiang recommended him to Wandao as a substitute, Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman. Mai Jia told him to learn to write scripts. Among them, "The Thirty-Six Rooms of Shaolin" became a classic work by Shaw Brothers. "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" made Sammo Hung famous.
Since then, with the movie "Kicking the House", Tsang Eric Tsang started his directorial career in his life.
In the past, I was worthy of Sammo Hung at Jiabao Film Company. Now, how can I not go to invite Mai Jia? As for Tengyue Entertainment Company, although it seems superior, it is nothing in the eyes of Zeng Zhiwei. In fact, he is a top-notch screenwriter and an excellent actor and director. He will do well with Su Cheng's favor.
The reason why Sammo Hung joined was just for the Hong family members.
In his opinion, Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen and others in the past, as well as Mai Jia, Wong Pai-ming, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and even Tsang Eric Tsang, were all talented figures. The talented people scrambled by film companies. What are you afraid of in this way?
As soon as he said this, Mai Jia was ecstatic and laughed: "It's still Awei's worth it!"
An awkward and boring dinner gradually ended as the sky darkened.
Walking back, Alan Tam, a good friend who has been playing with since childhood, frowned and said, "Awei, why did you agree like this? At least you should discuss it with Sanmao. Besides, how long have you signed up for the Tengyue Entertainment Company? Is this not suitable?"
In response, Eric Tsang waved his hand and chuckled, "Don't worry, what can you do? At most, you just give some liquidated damages, it's okay."
Seeing his appearance, Alan Tam didn't know how to persuade him for a while. He heard that Su Cheng, the boss of Tengyue Entertainment Company, was not a good character to mess with. How could he be careless if he didn't give face like this?
Why, you have to talk about your resignation in person?
However, after looking at Tsang Zhiwei's indifferent look, Alan Tam finally stopped talking.
