Wen Bixia, who took a break from acting for a while, ended her middle school studies and has returned to the Hong Kong film and television industry since the end of 1986.
The little girl was still very smart. When she came back, she took the initiative to find Ren Kuangwei and asked to sign into the Friendship League.
Ren Kuang's status in Youlian was transcendent, and he still had the right to handle this matter by himself. Therefore, Wen Bixia, the first Xiangjiang actress Sun Dahai met, also signed a contract with Youlian.
When the "God of Gamblers" project was launched last year, Wang Sanri called Sun Dahai and told him that Yongsheng hoped to participate in the investment of this project.
After thinking about it, Sun Dahai promised to give Yongsheng 20% of the investment amount and also made it clear that the cast list has basically been determined. If Yongsheng's Xiang Qiang is interested in appearing in the film, Wang Sanri can make the decision and arrange a supporting role for him in the film. However,
Recommendations for other roles will not be accepted.
Sun Dahai was somewhat conflicted about whether Xiang Qiang should be used in the role of "Long Wu".
Later, Sun Dahai decided to ignore it and just sit back and watch the natural development of the matter. If Xiang Qiang is willing to play this role, let him play it. If he is not willing, then replace him.
The result was the same as history. Xiang Qiang still starred in the role of "Dragon Five" in the film. When he was young, he worked as a martial artist and actor in the Hong Kong film industry. Although he has stopped doing so over the years, his foundation is still there. Anyway,
The performance of the role of "Long Wu" is not difficult, just pretending to be cool.
As for Zhang Min's roles in the two movies "God of Gamblers" and "The Gambler" in her previous life, it's a bit nonsense to talk about her acting skills. It's just that there are people who praise her and there are resources to allow her to appear on the scene.
In terms of acting skills, Zhang Min at this time is not really as good as Wen Bixia. Even though the two are about the same age, Wen Bixia, who has been on the big screen since 1981, is considered an experienced actor. She has participated in a lot of film and television works.
, was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Newcomer.
And Zhang Min just debuted not long ago. If it weren't for Xiang Sheng's support, she would still be working in group performances.
You Lian was already a full-fledged actress, and she had been invited to join the cast in advance, so Yong Sheng did not force her to join the crew, but assigned her to other films.
Sun Dahai doesn't want to use Zhang Min, not because he has any prejudice against her, but because of Xiang Sheng.
In his previous life, Wang Sanri gave his girlfriend Qiu Shuzhen more scenes and had a bad attitude towards Zhang Min, which prompted Zhang Min to go back and file a complaint. As a result, Wang Sanri was beaten up that night and was recuperated in the hospital.
The injury lasted several months.
Although Sun Dahai is not afraid of Yongsheng, he does not want people from his company to get involved in such things, so he is stuck from the source.
Yongsheng had no problem if he wanted to make money through investment, but Sun Dahai understood that being alone in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang would not work. But if Yongsheng wanted to recommend actors, he had better forget it. The crew of Youlian was for making movies, not for serving others.
Speaking of Wang Sanri, after the success of last year's "God of Gamblers" directed by this little fat guy, he kept getting film appointments. With an average time of less than two months for one movie, he has continuously produced a lot of junk works. Although he
Most of his films did not lose money, but their reputations declined rapidly.
Wang Sanri also realized this, and last month he went to Youlian and submitted a script, hoping that Youlian would give him authorization and investment.
The script he submitted this time is also a gambling film, a sequel to "God of Gamblers".
It is said that he has long wanted to follow his own example and make a sequel to "God of Gamblers". Unfortunately, the copyright of "God of Gamblers" belongs to Youlian, and Youlian will not allow him to make random sequels and ruin this classic series.
Therefore, Wang Sanri had no choice but to write the script honestly and accept the review opinions of the Youlian editorial team.
Youlian's "The Gambler" has already been approved and will start filming in the second half of the year. Naturally, it will not agree to produce a film with the same theme at this time.
Fatty Wang knew what was going on. He knew that it was because of conflicting themes, so after his script was rejected, he went to find Gao Yi.
He hopes that through personal connections, the script can be registered with the Friendship Alliance first, even if it is left until next year for filming.
Gao Yi told Sun Dahai and faxed Fatty Wang's script. After Sun Dahai read it, he also agreed with the editorial team's opinions on the script: the script follows the character relationships and settings of "God of Gamblers", and the plot design is simple
It’s repetitive, not much new, and doesn’t have much investment value.
This script is indeed very good, and it also habitually piles many old jokes into it.
Sun Dahai thought to himself that if this script was really followed, "God of Gamblers" would probably be almost ruined by the sequel movie like "A Better Tomorrow".
For the sake of their acquaintance, Sun Dahai called Fatty Wang. Sun Dahai suggested that he study it carefully and re-write a script after "The Gambler" was released.
If the script can be approved by the editorial team, Youlian will wait until next year to approve his script. Forget about the script in Sun Dahai's hands now. It has no investment value and will be a bad movie.
Wang Sanri followed his good example and promised to write another script and submit it to Youlian after "The Gambler" was filmed.
Fatty Wang has no shortage of investors now, but he also hopes to make a good movie from time to time instead of just making shoddy movies just to make quick money.
What Sun Dahai wanted him to shoot was naturally "The Gambler". When it comes to shooting gambling movies, including all the directors in Hong Kong, no one can compare with Wang Sanri.
As for gambling films, Sun Dahai only wants to make three series under the same setting: "God of Gamblers", "The Gambler" and "The Gambler". As for other gambling film series such as "The Supremes", who would like to make them?
Whoever takes the photo, Youlian will not be involved.
There are currently four directors under Youlian. Cheng Xiaodong, who successfully completed "Ancient and Modern War", was borrowed by Lei Juekun's Princess Jin and began to prepare for the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story".
There was serious internal strife in New Art City, and as the final boss behind the scenes, Lei Juekun couldn't control it. So he simply used the golden princess he had to film the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story" to prevent this series from being ruined by New Art City's wrangling.
Already.
The internal strife in New Art City has a lot to do with Lei Juekun. From the time when New Art City was first established, he had promised that he would not interfere in the affairs of New Art City.
Although he said that, it was impossible for him to completely let go. Therefore, under his leadership, Xinyi City's share distribution had major hidden dangers from the beginning.
Xinyi City is a typical multi-person collective entrepreneurial model. However, there is a serious imbalance in the shares, resulting in everyone making the same efforts, but the benefits are vastly different.
As New Art City's works continued to be successful and sold out at the box office, the gap in income became wider and wider. This led to the growing resentment between several people, until it finally became out of control.
Therefore, in the short history of Xinyi City, it was only prosperous for the first few years and then began to decline.
