Xiangjiang Movie Super Universe, the key to opening the door to this universe, Chu Huan placed on "Best Partner".
Police and gangster movies have always been the mainstream of Hong Kong movies. Movies such as "The Best Partner", "Five Lucky Stars" or "A Better Tomorrow" can actually be classified as police and gangster movies.
In later generations, Xiangjiang movies declined, and the only genre that could continue the life of Xiangjiang movies was the police and gangster film.
After telling Mika and Huang Baiming the story of "The Best Partner", Chu Huan asked how to transform this story into a movie script, and how different this movie is from "The Best Partner" in another time and space.
Don't think about it anymore.
Since Huang Baiming and Maga are already qualified to start their own satellite company, it means that they have absolute abilities in this aspect. Chu Huan believes that under the guidance of his story, the film they are writing now
"Best Partner" isn't too bad either.
The two of them also had mixed feelings at this time. They didn't expect that Chu Huan was not looking for them for the satellite company's affairs at all, but for a movie script.
Among them, Huang Baiming's heart is the most complicated. Before this, he would write a script for "Happy Ghost" to Liu Pingkui every year. Watching this series of movies making money one after another, he still felt very fond of Chu Huan.
I admire it. After all, Chu Huan has already given the framework. As long as he can fill in interesting plots according to this framework, it will be fine.
Now, Chu Huan has come up with another story, and just listening to Chu Huan tell this story, you can feel the fun in the story.
But at the same time, Maga and Huang Baiming also have some ideas of their own about the movie.
"Director Chu, this story is somewhat similar to 007!" Huang Baiming said cautiously.
Naturally, they are similar. In fact, the idea for the movie "The Best Partner" originally came from the "007" series... Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is also what I saw when I saw the "007" series before.
, I thought of localizing it into a story that happened in Xiangjiang.”
Mika, Huang Baiming nodded.
Chu Huan continued: "In this story, you two are going to add a partridge character to the audience, so that the audience knows that there is such a person in this story.
At the same time, within the counterfeit banknote group, there must be another Mr. Yao's counterfeit banknote group.
No matter it is Partridge Cai or Mr. Yao, they don’t have to appear in this movie, but again, let the audience know that there are two such characters in your story!"
Needless to say, Partridge is the soul of the Five Lucky Stars. The concept of adding him is to introduce Yuliang's series of movies that could compete with "The Best Partner" at the box office in the early 1980s.
Five Lucky Stars".
As for Mr. Yao, this banknote counterfeiting group is somewhat unfamiliar to everyone, but the movie he was in was the famous "A Better Tomorrow."
The first part of "Five Lucky Stars" also faced two counterfeit money syndicates. Now Mr. Yao's team has been added so that the follow-up "Five Lucky Stars" can lead to the movie "A Better Tomorrow".
In the later period, characters like Bawanghua and Chen Jiaju may appear in these movies.
However, there are also some details that need to be paid attention to.
In the first part of "The Best Partner", the character of the man-in-law has a sister, but in another movie of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, the role of the man-in-law is set as an orphan.
So in this matter, the role of the man-in-law set by Chu Huan for Huang Baiming and Mai Jia is indeed an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, and her younger sister grew up together in an orphanage.
younger sister.
In addition, the character of Partridge is also mentioned in the conversation between the man-in-law and her sister.
When Maga and Huang Baiming heard Chu Huan specifically mention these things, they were still a little confused at first.
"Chairman, why do you want to add these characters? Are you considering a sequel?"
Huang Baiming couldn't help but ask.
At this time, he had not thought of the concept of a movie universe, but thought that Chu Huan was thinking about a sequel.
Chu Huan did not tell Huang Baiming his true intention, and said with a smile: "You can think so, but the most important thing is the story itself."
Huang Baiming, Maga nodded, Maga said: "Chairman, we will not let you down!"
Chu Huan smiled with satisfaction: "After this script is approved by me, you and Ishida can plan your own satellite company."
Upon hearing that Chu Huan agreed to their establishment of their own satellite company, Maga and Huang Baiming immediately smiled and expressed their gratitude to Chu Huan seriously again.
"Also, you can call Kui Zai when you write the script. I plan to let him be the director of this movie!"
Chu Huan continued to preach.
In another time and space, the director of "The Best Partner" was Eric Tsang, but now that Eric Tsang has just joined Kam-po Hung's film company and is still a member of the Hung family class, it is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to make his first film in the Hong Kong Cinema Universe.
Leave it to Eric Tsang to take charge.
On the contrary, Liu Pingkui's ability to control this type of film is beyond doubt.
Maga and Huang Baiming nodded and said, "Okay!"
After the two of them left Fang Jianhui's office, Chu Huan said to Fang Jianhui: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go back first!"
Fang Jianhui nodded and then sent Chu Huan to the door of the main building.
When Chu Huan's car passed by the set, he saw Hong Jinbao who was leading the Hong family class to go out for lunch. Chu Huan stopped the car, rolled down the window, and called out to Hong Jinbao.
When Hong Jinbao saw it was Chu Huan, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Chu, what's the matter with you?"
Chu Huan asked: "Are you busy?"
Hong Jinbao looked at the dozen or so people behind him and said with a smile: "I just finished filming a movie, and I'm going to take everyone to eat something good first."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan smiled and said: "Get in the car, I'll treat you to this meal today."
Hong Jinbao and others immediately beamed with joy, and Hong Jinbao even took the initiative to get into Chu Huan's car. As for the other members of the Hong family class, they got into different cars in batches.
Because Li Xiaolong did not die, and Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others opened the market for humorous action films in Xiangjiang in advance under Chu Huan's reminder, in another time and space, the death of Li Xiaolong caused the life of martial arts masters in Xiangjiang to be depressed.
Did not happen.
On the contrary, because of the fame of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, the action film market in Hong Kong has begun to flourish, and the role of martial arts masters has become more and more obvious.
As a result, the living standards of these people far exceed that of another time and space, and buying a car is their basic operation!
Under the command of Hong Jinbao, Chu Huan went with them to a restaurant near the black and white studio.
Obviously Hong Jinbao and others come here often, so the boss came over to say hello cordially as soon as he entered.
Although the boss didn't recognize Chu Huan, seeing the way Hong Jinbao was polite to Chu Huan, he knew that Chu Huan's identity was not simple. Hong Jinbao had already called here before coming here, so when they came here
After that, there were already two dining tables filled with wine and food.
Hong Jinbao was a little embarrassed and said to Chu Huan: "Director Chu, I didn't know you were coming before, why don't we open a private room?"
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands: "No, it will be quite lively for everyone to eat together. As long as you are not restrained, I will be fine."
It was impossible to make them feel free. Although these martial arts masters were willing to eat with Chu Huan, and going out could be used as bragging rights, but when they really sat with Chu Huan, they would inevitably feel nervous.
.
There was nothing Chu Huan could do about this. He couldn't be allowed to stand up and have a drink with these people first.
The reason why Chu Huan wanted to come with Hong Jinbao was mainly because there were three things he wanted to talk to Hong Jinbao about.
The first thing was naturally about the content of the script of the movie "Five Lucky Stars", but now this occasion was definitely not suitable to tell stories to Hong Jinbao, so Chu Huan told Hong Jinbao to let him go after completing the wrapping party of the crew.
I was on a Chinese trip and I had something to talk to him about.
"No problem, then what time is a good time for me to go there tomorrow morning?" Hong Jinbao asked, knowing that Chu Huan would definitely not let him go to the Chinese Bank for no reason.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "At 10 o'clock in the morning, I will leave you an hour at that time."
If there is no special matter, Chu Huan's time is scheduled now, and Xu Yi has already arranged Chu Huan's schedule for a month later.
While talking, Chu Huan noticed Zeng Zhiwei sitting in the corner.
Sometimes people have to marvel at the magic of the Hong Kong film industry. It is a very inclusive circle. As long as you have the ability, it is very possible to get ahead.
And Zeng Chiwei is the absolute representative of them. In his early years, he was a member of the Hong Kong professional football team... In fact, Zeng Chiwei's football level is not very good. He is only a member of the reserve team of the Xiangjiang Xingdao football team. In official games,
In fact, I didn’t play a few games.
After ending his career as a professional athlete, he joined the film industry in Hong Kong under the guidance of his friends in the entertainment industry. He first worked as a martial artist with Liu Jialiang, and later went to Taiwan with Liu Jialiang to develop for a period of time. After returning to Hong Kong,
Joined the Hong Family Class!
Slowly, from a martial artist, he became an actor, screenwriter, director, and later became one of the Seven Monsters of Xiangjiang New Art City. Later, he supported Chen Kexin, founded UFO Pictures, became the boss, and actually supervised the production of
Several good movies have come out.
From a martial artist to one of the big names in the Hong Kong film industry, on his sixtieth birthday, the Hong Kong Film Awards had to make time for his birthday.
Later, he returned to TVB and became the absolute top executive of TVB.
It can be said that in various industries in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, except for those who are born with poor voices, they have done all other jobs and have achieved results.
The "Prize Doorman" series of variety shows hosted by TVB has succeeded "Happy Tonight" and become TVB's top-rated variety show.
All-rounder!
Only the Almighty can call him.
"Are you Eric Tsang?"
Chu Huan preached to Zeng Zhiwei who was sitting there.
Zeng Zhiwei nodded quickly and asked excitedly in his drake voice: "Director Chu, do you know me?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Of course we know each other, not just you, I know everyone in your Hong family class."
Hearing what Chu Huan said, the entire Hong family class showed excited expressions.
"You and Sanmao come to my office tomorrow."
Chu Huan preached to Zeng Zhiwei.
This time, Eric Tsang received the envy of everyone in the Hong family.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Chairman, thank you, Chairman!" Zeng Zhiwei stood up and hurriedly bowed to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and pressed his hand, and asked Zeng Zhiwei to sit down. There are actually two versions of the Five Lucky Stars series. The earliest Five Lucky Stars were Teapot, Dead Qi Throat, Curly Hair, Vaseline, and Luqi. There were no five.
Luo Han Guo by Eric Tsang.
It was only in the second part that the five lucky stars, partridge, mangosteen, dashi, American ginseng and rhinoceros skin were re-identified.
Among them, the names of the five lucky stars were changed, and the curly hair was replaced by Luo Han Guo.
Since Chu Huan wants to create a Xiangjiang movie universe, it is naturally impossible for the "Five Lucky Stars Series" to have such a situation again, so the five names in the first part must not be used.
Just use the most classic names of the Five Lucky Stars.
Since Zeng Zhiwei is a rare all-rounder in the film industry and a great all-rounder, Chu Huan naturally doesn't mind supporting him. As for the rumors about him...
What does it have to do with me?
"I heard that another martial artist from your Hong family class was sent to the hospital a few days ago?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan ignored the envious eyes of those people and started to talk about the second thing with Hong Jinbao.
The members of the Hong Family Class and the Married Family Class go to the hospital as often as they go to the set. This is something that the entire circle knows.
Hong Jinbao thought Chu Huan wanted to remind him, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Director Chu, we will be more careful in the future!"
Chu Huan knew that Hong Jinbao had misunderstood her. For Chu Huan, whether it was a member of the Hong Family Class or a member of the Marriage Class, it was completely normal for him to go to the hospital for filming. If he tried to dissuade her from doing so,
, but it is not conducive to them making classic movies.
If the movie is not a good one, there will naturally be no way to sell it, and Chu Huan's income will naturally decrease.
Chu Huan would not stop this kind of thing.
So Chu Huan smiled and said: "That's not what I meant. I was just thinking that you people work so hard for the company. If the company can't relieve you of your worries, then the company is not doing enough!"
Hong Jinbao was stunned, and the entire Hong family class also looked at Chu Huan expectantly.
These martial artists in the Hong Family Class are nominally employees of the satellite company founded by Hong Jinbao, and are naturally employees of Black and White Image, but in fact these people have no guarantee at all.
Nowadays, insurance companies in Xiangjiang have begun to be unwilling to accept the insurance of the Hong family class and the married class.
If these people are injured during filming and can no longer work, the company will not pay them a penny and they will have to fend for themselves.
But fortunately, both Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are loyal enough. If a member of their class is injured while filming, they will support each other for the rest of their lives.
This is also why the members of the Hong Family Class and the Married Family Class dare to work so hard.
In later generations, there was a documentary specifically about them, in which many dragon and tiger martial arts masters once said that this was the reason why they dared to fight so hard.
Now that Chu Huan said this, it was obvious that what people like Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were doing was planned for the company, so these people suddenly stopped moving and were all staring at Chu Huan.
After all, this is a matter of one's own welfare, and no one can ignore it.
"Director Chu, what do you mean?" Hong Jinbao looked at Chu Huan expectantly, not realizing that his voice was already trembling a little at this time.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have been thinking about the future development of the company during this period. At the same time, I am also reviewing how the company has grown from scratch over the years, from a small company to the largest consortium in Hong Kong. How did it achieve this?
One step.”
Hong Jinbao flattered Chu Huan and said, "Of course it's because, Director Chu, you are an unparalleled top business genius!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are wrong. When I saw you guys on the black and white set just now, I figured this out. The reason why I was able to succeed is because I have San Mao and the Hong family class under me.
There are other people who work hard.
It is because I brought you together that we have achieved what we have now."
"Dr. Chu, you are so humble!" Hong Jinbao said a little flattered. This time it was not humility, but real emotions. Although they had filmed several blockbuster movies, they were only responsible for the filming, release, promotion, and work in other places.
Nothing they can do is beyond their control.
If it weren't for Chu Huan, Hong Jinbao thinks that he would be just a relatively well-known film director and actor in Hong Kong now!
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I know if you are being modest or not, so don't talk about it anymore, so I just made a decision...two decisions!"
Hong Jinbao and others did not speak, but they all held their breath and looked at Chu Huan seriously. After what Chu Huan just said, they could feel that it was probably something that was very beneficial to them.
"First, I decided to let Jiaku set up an insurance company to set up insurance projects for the people in the company. At that time, a series of insurance projects will be set up for you. If you are injured, the company will treat you. If you become disabled,
As long as there are problems with the company's projects, the company will be responsible for the rest of your life. At that time, the company will set up a night school to train you in other professional skills. As long as you pass the school's exam, you can join any one of Jiaku's
The company carries out work.
If your life is really bad and you are paralyzed in bed and cannot get up, the company will also pay you basic living expenses every month."
Hong Jinbao and others' eyes were a little red at this time. Chu Huan was trying to relieve them of all worries.
In other words, from now on, these people are no longer stepmothers.
Hong Jinbao raised his wine glass on behalf of the entire Hong family class and said seriously: "Director Chu, on behalf of the entire Hong family class, thank you!"
After speaking, Hong Jinbao raised his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
The rest of the people also raised their wine glasses at this time and said: "Thank you, Director Chu!"
At this time, everyone drank down their glasses of wine. Although it was only a glass of wine, everyone's faces were already rosy.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Secondly, I think none of you are people who can save money, right?"
After hearing what Chu Huan said, everyone in the Hong family class, except for a few people, started laughing.
"Young people love to play and make trouble. I don't have a problem with that. I personally won't give you any investment advice. But as employees of the company, as I just said, the company will always be responsible for some of your things.
Yes, I don’t want people outside to say in the future that Chu Huan only knows how to make money and doesn’t care about his own life or death.
So during this time, I will discuss with Mr. He and Mr. Lu from Zhulu Real Estate to allocate a piece of land from the company’s existing land bank specifically to modify the company’s employee apartments.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing Chu Huan say this, the members of the Hong family class are still a little strange. After all, there are employee apartments on the set of Black and White Video. I don’t know what Chu Huan said.
What difference will this staff apartment make?
Chu Huan did not let these people's curiosity last long, and continued to talk with a smile: "This employee apartment is different from the black and white employee apartment. As long as you have worked in the company for more than 5 years, you can get one for free.
The apartment you live in daily will always be yours as long as you are in the company. You can live in it however you want. Even if you retire in the future, this apartment will still be yours, unless you leave one day.
Oh God, the company will take back this apartment."
Wow!
There was fierce applause at the scene. The wages of these dragon and tiger martial arts masters are not low. They can earn at least two to three thousand per month. With their wages, if they can save up the down payment to buy a house, there will be no problem.
But how could these people have this kind of mentality? They buy cars to look sexy and pick up girls, but they don’t have the energy to buy a house.
As for the construction of staff apartments, Chu Huan did not have the idea after meeting Hong Jinbao, but Chu Huan had been thinking about it this year.
It is true that the real estate market in Xiangjiang will get better and better, the development space will become larger and larger, and the profits will naturally become more and more generous, but at this point in Chu Huan's life, there is no longer a need to simply consider making money.
In other words, Chu Huan no longer needs to focus on making money in the residential area.
At this time, in addition to making money in the real estate industry, Chu Huan also had to consider more things, such as his own reputation.
Chu Huan knew very well how Xiangjiang's real estate developers were scolded in later generations, and the reason why these people were scolded was because of their monopoly in the housing industry.
Chu Huan has been thinking about the future development of Zhulu Real Estate this year. Which path should he take? Should he continue to do what he is doing now, with commercial, industrial, and residential developments going hand in hand, or should he shift the development route? It does not mean giving up that line, but
It is to be shown in another way.
Of course, the details of this will have to be decided after a collective meeting between the top management of Jiaku and Zhulu Real Estate.
But now that Chu Huan is building a staff apartment, this is not the performance of Chu Huan as a virgin bitch, but an attempt to win people's hearts and create a different persona for herself in Xiangjiang.
How many businessmen in later generations went from being admired by everyone to being despised by everyone was actually a matter of the direction of public opinion.
What Chu Huan has to do is to avoid this kind of public opinion trend as much as possible. Chu Huan doesn't care about ordinary public opinion trends, but if this kind of public opinion trend affects the decisions of high-level officials, it will be a matter of more gain than loss.
The most important thing is that building employee apartments is really a very simple matter now. Taking Huaye City as an example, each unit only requires an investment of HK$1 billion. Although prices in Hong Kong are rising now, the cost is also very low.
It is rising, but the cost per unit will never exceed HK$1.5 billion.
Let's not talk about Chu Huan's current income. Just rebuilding such a city within a city and just the commercial facilities inside can easily recoup the cost within two or three years!
But Chu Huan's gains are huge. Not only can he perfectly win the hearts and minds of most employees in the entire company, but more importantly, Chu Huan's doing this is equivalent to adding a thick layer of love to himself.
An impenetrable protective shield.
"Director Chu, is this true?" Hong Jinbao couldn't help but asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Why, have I ever lied to you?"
"No, no, no!" Hong Jinbao said no three times in a row. He had a thousand words and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only raise his wine glass again and loudly said to Chu Huan: "Thank you, Director Chu!"
The rest of the Hong family class looked at Chu Huan with deep gratitude in their eyes, "Thank you, Director Chu!"
Chu Huan believed that even if he asked them to fight for him at this time, they would not hesitate.
In fact, at this time, these people are no longer simply members of the Hong family class, but employees of Chu Huan!
"There is a third thing, which is a relatively simple thing!" Chu Huan said to Hong Jinbao who had just finished drinking.
The excitement in Hong Jinbao's heart had not disappeared, and he asked: "Director Chu, please tell me!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I want you to help me find some people who understand Chinese mythology and stories and have certain screenwriting abilities. If these two conditions cannot be both, then one of the conditions must be met!"
Although Hong Jinbao didn't know what Chu Huan was going to do, at this time, Hong Jinbao still patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Director Chu, I promise to find such a talent for you."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't promise me yet, I want a lot of people!"
Hong Jinbao was stunned for a moment and asked: "How much?"
Chu Huan said: "At least a hundred people are needed!"
Was Hong Jinbao really frightened by the number Chu Huan mentioned this time? One hundred people?
But in the end, Hong Jinbao still gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, even if I search the entire Xiangjiang, I will find all these people for you!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Then I will wait for your good news."
"Um!"
Looking at Hong Jinbao's firm eyes, Chu Huan knew that the cultural export plan he wanted to do had successfully taken the first step!
