The original Hong Le Building has been renamed as Yiu Kwong Building!
The headquarters of Yaoguang Group has been moved here. At the same time, major companies under Yaoguang Group are moving their headquarters in Xiangjiang here, including Jinxiu Garment, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui
Beverage, Yuzhi Investment, Fengge Entertainment, Fengge Cinema Line, etc. are all preparing to move their headquarters here.
Yaoguang Building is 52 stories high, providing offices and shopping malls with over 690,000 square feet. It was once the highest floor in Hong Kong.
Sitting here working, you can see the entire Victoria Harbor!
Although the whole move has not yet been completed, Jiang Zhiqiang has already started working here. Sitting in the office on the 49th floor, looking at Victoria Harbor outside the window, Jiang Zhiqiang felt a sense of pride in his heart.
In just over a year, Jiang Zhiqiang has become one of the most influential bosses in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He can be on an equal footing with Zou Wenhuai and Sir Shao. This makes Jiang Zhiqiang think that when he occasionally dreams back at midnight,
It's all a dream.
But Jiang Zhiqiang's beautiful heart was soon destroyed.
"You said that Wanwan has officially ordered that Zhi Fengge Entertainment's movies enter the Wanwan market?" Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Gong Jiapei with a stern expression.
Gong Jiapei, 37 years old, is the manager of Fengge Entertainment. He is a confidant appointed by Jiang Zhiqiang over the past year. He has good working ability, is steady and rarely makes mistakes, and can perfectly complete the tasks assigned by him.
Gong Jiapei's expression at this time was also very solemn: "Yes, the news we just got, although there is no official information on the Wanwan side, the major theaters have already received the news."
Snapped!
Jiang Zhiqiang slammed the document in his hand on the table, "Over the years, our money has been given away for free. Do you know why?"
Because of Fengge Entertainment's special background, in order to have its movies released in Wanwan, Fengge Entertainment has spent part of its public relations expenses every year in recent years. But now Wanwan suddenly ordered Fengge to be banned.
Entertainment movie screenings.
If this matter is not handled properly, Fengge Entertainment's film career will suffer heavy losses.
"The notice over at Wanwan is in the name of the Liberty Federation." Gong Jiapei said.
"What age are we in now, and are you still using the 'Freedom Association' to take advantage of us?" Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but raise his head, with an angry look on his face.
The full name of the Free Federation is the "Free Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Film Professionals". The official division between left-wing and right-wing filmmakers was due to the emergence of this association.
At that time, the Wanwan News Bureau stipulated that films shot by non-members of the "Freedom Federation" were not allowed to enter the Wanwan Market.
Not to mention, a few years ago director Xu Anhua filmed "Journey to the Wrathful Sea" in Qiongdao, his motherland, and was investigated by the Wanwan News Bureau. The film was under investigation in Wanwan and was not released until 2008... One more thing
, this drama was also banned in the Mainland. At that time, both Lin Mustache and Musset published a "statement of repentance" in the "Hong Kong Times" to get through.
On the contrary, Liu Dehua, who was worried about being implicated, was not affected at all because he was not well-known at the time...
So, if you are reborn to make a movie in Hong Kong at the wrong time, or if you are not strong enough and have connections with China, it is basically courting death!
Liang Jiahui's "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Hearing Behind the Curtain" were "blocked". Of course, the Bayan authorities couldn't clearly explain that the reason they found at that time was that Liang Jiahui was on the "Freedom Association" blacklist... so it was normal that he couldn't enter the Bayan market.
. Even though I took off my pants to put them on, the unnecessary effort would make the pants unable to carry the bag...
In 1983 and 1984, the Information Bureau launched a series of heavy blows, and new wave directors such as Fang Yuping, Yan Hao, and Weng Weiquan had their films frozen.
Not to mention other things, in 1986, "Happy Ghost Collision" was originally planned to be screened at the left-wing theater "Puhua Theater", but under the pressure of the Wanwan Information Bureau, it had no choice but to throw away 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars to withdraw the film...
"The Free Federation is now in name only, so naturally there will be no interference. However, if there is news about this matter, it must not be without purpose..." Gong Jiapei's face was full of worry.
The Bay Market is extremely important to any Hong Kong film company based on its main market.
As a branch manager, one can imagine the pressure on Gong Jiapei!
"Since the other party reported it privately, it also means that the issue may not be based on principles." After Jiang Zhiqiang became angry, he calmed down.
"It makes sense. Unlike Director Song who was overbearing back then, Director Shao now is more tactful..."
Director Shao is the protagonist who was later written by Master Li Goudan in the book "Shao xx". At that time, he was the director of the Information Bureau of the Bayan Executive Yuan. Li Goudan wrote the book at that time and damaged Director Shao to death...
Jiang Zhiqiang took a long breath and said, "I'm afraid that this matter will be taken advantage of by others."
Gong Jiapei fell into silence.
"It seems that I still need Mr. Jiang to make a trip to Wanwan." Gong Jiapei finally said.
"That's exactly what I meant."
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, "This matter is not suitable for publicity, but we still need to communicate with Director Wu. If something like this happened over at Wanwan, it must have something to do with Director Wu."
"Could it be a Wanwan film producer?" Gong Jiapei suddenly said.
"You mean..." Jiang Zhiqiang was startled, then frowned, picked up the document with his fingers, and looked at it.
"That's right."
Gong Jiapei explained: "In 1981, Xinyi City, which was only one year old at the time, announced the establishment of a branch in Wanwan. The person in charge at that time was Mr. Yu, who became the person in charge of the branch."
"Director Yu Kanping?" Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at Gong Jiapei.
"Yes, it's director Yu Kanping"
Director Yu Kanping is the director of "The Wrong Ride".
"Starting from the second year, New Art City began to have market power in Wanwan. In fact, there is a hidden meaning here. New Art City was able to expand its business in Wanwan because of the help of Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Pictures, who was an insider in the Wanwan circle.
The boss.
The so-called branch of Xinyi City in Wanwan is actually registered in the name of Boss Wang’s Yatai Film Company... This kind of reciprocal investment and joint venture have contributed to the establishment of Hong Kong Island’s Golden Princess.
Lisheng Cinemas, China Theaters in the Bay Area and Cathay Cinemas in Southeast Asia have combined to form a network..."
Since Gong Jiapei became the manager of Fengge Entertainment, he has carefully studied the information of major film companies in Hong Kong. At this time, he was already an expert in the industry and knew many inside stories. "Actually, in October 1985
, Debao and Longtai signed the Wanwan Bank Agency, and the backer of Longtai is also Wang Yingxiang!"
Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly realized.
"I need to discuss this matter with Director Wu carefully. This time it is obviously a joint effort by the film producers of Wanwan!"
By this time Jiang Zhiqiang had already discovered the problem.
As Fengge Entertainment develops, the better, and at the same time, Xiangjiang's film industry has officially entered its peak period. China Film, Scholars, Times, Longxiang, Xiongwei, Judeng and other eight major film studios in Wanwan have also long been interested in Xiangjiang's film industry.
Film production companies are eyeing it, and Fengge Entertainment, one of the leading companies in Hong Kong, is naturally their main target.
However, Fengge Entertainment is different from Jiahe and New Art City. Fengge Entertainment has sufficient capital and does not need to bring in external funds at all. Therefore, these eight major film producers have approached Jiang Zhiqiang several times and want to jointly participate in Fengge Entertainment's film investment.
, were all rejected by Jiang Zhiqiang.
This time the other party was obviously prepared.
Wanting to take advantage of the Wanwan market, bī) forced Fengge Entertainment to submit.
If you want to break this deadlock, you need film producers from Wanwan to join in investing in the film. Jiang Zhiqiang will definitely have to talk to Wu Jianye about such a major matter.
Soon, the news about Wanwan Market targeting Fengge Entertainment spread throughout Xiangjiang. Many film companies were watching how Fengge Entertainment prepared to deal with this crisis.
You must know that Fengge Entertainment’s annual revenue in the Wanwan market in the past few years has been measured in billions. If the Wanwan market really blocks Fengge Entertainment, then these film companies will also have to consider their own follow-up.
Planned.
Is it possible to get a share of this?
But the most unlucky one was Jiahe, because Jiahe lent Zhang Manyu to Wu Jianye for the filming of "New Dragon Gate Inn".
If Wanwan doesn't care about it, this matter actually doesn't matter at all, because Zhang Manyu has not really become famous at this time, and Wanwan will not be serious with a young actor.
Just like Liu Dehua who was filming "Journey to the Angry Sea".
But things are different now. Wanwan obviously wants to target Fengge Entertainment, so they won't let Zhang Manyu go.
Therefore, documents have been issued to Jiahe, and in the future, Wanwan will refuse movies starring Zhang Manyu from entering the Wanwan market.
"What should we do now?" He Guanchang sat opposite Zou Wenhuai and asked with some worry.
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment and asked, "Did Aaron send back any news from North America?"
Just two days ago, Phantom Entertainment officially extended an invitation to Jiahe, inviting Jiahe's ace Cheng Long to star in an action film in North America.
Mentioning Cheng Long, He Guanchang showed a smile: "Aaron has already called back. He likes the script of that movie very much, and there is also news from Phantom Entertainment that he fully complied with Aaron's opinions during the filming!"
"
Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Okay, let's send a message back to Wanwan. Just say that we know it and will not use Zhang Manyu to participate in our Jiahe movies in the future!"
It is obvious that Zou Wenhuai is ready to give up on Zhang Manyu. For Zou Wenhuai at this time, the most important thing is Cheng Long's new film plan in Hollywood. As long as Cheng Long can make a name for himself in North America this time, for Jiahe
It was a strategic success.
Then sacrificing Zhang Manyu is very worthwhile for Jiahe.
He Guanchang said with some pity: "It's a pity that Zhang Manyu, the actress, is actually a spiritual actress. If she is carefully cultivated, she may become a good actor in the future!"
Zou Wenhuai smiled, comforted his old partner, and said with a smile: "Is there a shortage of actresses in Hong Kong?"
He Guanchang laughed at himself: "That's true."
.......
Inside the Longmen Inn!
What is being filmed at this time is the scene when Jin Xiangyu appears for the first time. This scene has been shot for a day, but it has never met Wu Jianye's requirements.
The problem arises with Zhang Manyu, who Wu Jianye thinks should not have a problem.
At this time, Zhang Manyu has never been able to enter the role of Jin Xiangyu. The feeling of the performance is the same as Yuan A4's exaggerated performance in "Pancake Man", which is extremely entertaining... .
But at this time, Wu Jianye already knew the reason. That was when Tsui Hark was filming "New Dragon Inn", Zhang Manyu's acting skills had already passed through "Carmen", "The Man Who Never Takes Off His Socks", and "Days of Being Wild". ", "Ruan Lingyu" and other classic movies have been adapted.
So later Zhang Manyu seemed to be able to play the role of Jin Xiangyu with ease, but now, Zhang Manyu is just making her own vase seriously.
Therefore, the role of Jin Xiangyu is naturally difficult to fully understand.
"Click!"
Wu Jianye stopped the performance again, his face as dark as a black pot. Everyone in the crew knew that Wu Jianye was very unhappy now.
Especially Zhang Manyu, who had made a mistake, felt even more aggrieved. She felt that she had obviously performed the feeling of gold inlaid with jade, so why could she not do it?
"Ayu, your role is a charming boss lady. Look what you are playing now? A righteous and well-behaved boss lady?"
There was a hint of grievance on Zhang Manyu's face, and her eyes were slightly red. She was obviously aggrieved by Wu Jianye's reprimand.
"Okay, everyone, let's take a rest. Ayu, you should think about your role carefully and forget about all the worries in your heart!"
What are Zhang Manyu's worries?
Naturally, it is an image problem. What should I do if I am misunderstood by people in Xiangjiang when such a role as Feng Wanzhong's boss lady is broadcast?
The crew fell into silence at this time. No one wanted to touch Wu Jianye's bad luck at this time. Everyone knew that it had been a day and not even a scene had passed. Wu Jianye must be very angry at this time. Who could Come forward, no matter who gets into trouble.
Didn’t you see that the beautiful Zhang Manyu was scolded by Wu Jianye and was almost in tears?
Zhang Manyu, who was sitting there alone, felt infinite regret for accepting this movie. Not only did he have to worry about the reaction from Wanwan, but he also had to face Wu Jianye, the tyrant on the set. He had been scolded so many times throughout the day. ?
Before filming started, didn't you think Wu Jianye was so annoying?
"Don't think too much, let's try to figure out this role!" Liang Jiahui finally walked over and comforted Zhang Manyu.
"Brother Hui..." Zhang Manyu looked at Liang Jiahui with red eyes.
Liang Jiahui smiled comfortingly: "I have read the script, and I know what you are worried about, but now that you have accepted this play, don't think about anything else. Those external factors will not have any impact on your performance. Any help will bring even more trouble."
Zhang Manyu nodded and said, "I understand."
"But, I really don't know how to play Jin Xiangyu?"
Liang Jiahui shook his head: "How could it be? I watched your performance during the rehearsal before. At that time, you acted very well. Just show your mentality at that time. I have already read the script. Do you want me to Let me analyze it for you."
"Thank you, Brother Hui!"
Seeing Liang Jiahui comforting Zhang Manyu over there, Wu Jianye didn't say anything, but Dai Zhen soon ran over.
