Chapter 488 Quarterly Summary

John Woo started his career in comedy films.

All parties recognized him as a comedy director. He wanted to make a gangster film, but neither Golden Harvest nor New Arts City allowed it. This time "The Comedian" failed at the box office, he had no excuse. He just apologized softly: "Yes." My fault, sorry.”

♦︎♦︎♦︎♦︎♦︎♦︎

"never mind!"

Mai Jia got angry and had no choice. There was really a shortage of people under his command, so he said: "Go back and have a good rest. Go ahead." "When will the next film be shot?"

John Woo mustered up the courage to ask.

"I don't know. I have to wait for the script. If you have a script, bring it to me."

Zheng Zeshi listened for a while, and then the dog walked away quietly. He returned to his workroom and pulled out a half-written script called "The Divorced Father."

It tells the story of a divorced middle-aged man with a son who rented a house to live in. The landlord was also a divorced man with a daughter. The landlord had always been indifferent to the family and ignored his daughter. But after the male protagonist moved in, he kept everything in order and took good care of his daughter. The landlord gradually became infected...

He mingled in the creative group of Xinyi City, slowly learned, and had a clear understanding of his own image and positioning. "The Broken Married Dad" is tailor-made for myself.

The male protagonist is a good man who is a bit useless, good at cooking and knitting good sweaters. The wife is highly educated and has a strong personality. This kind of setting in the bad streets of later generations was still relatively new in the 1980s.

Zheng Zeshi wanted to make a light comedy, light and humorous, with tears in his eyes. It is impossible to be a box office hit, but the probability of losing money is low, and the cost is low anyway.

Zheng Zeshi was hesitant. He knew that Mai Jia had no one under his command. He had finished writing the script and took it over. Mai Jia should support it. Xinyi City was in a precarious situation, so he might take the opportunity to take over.

However, Mr. Chen said that Xinyi City can last until next year at most!

He doesn't think Mr. Chen is bragging. The leftists must kill New Art City, and the leftists have proven that they have this strength. "If a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of thousands of years!"

Zheng Zeshi cheered himself up, put away the script, wrote a letter of resignation, got up and knocked on the door of Mai Jia's office. "Fat Kent (Zheng Zeshi's English name), do you have a problem with me?"

"Mr. Mai!"

He was still a little nervous when it came to the matter. When he handed the letter over, Mai Jia thought he was going to come up with a script, but when he saw it was a resignation letter, the anger he had been scolding John Woo arose again: "What are you doing? Do you have any conscience and loyalty? Resigning at this time? Do you know that this is when the company needs you?”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mai!"

No matter what Mai Jia said, Zheng Zeshi just apologized. Mai Jia scolded for a while, becoming increasingly weak: "Are you sure you want to leave?" "Yeah!"

"Don't let me see you again. If you live on the street in the future, I won't even reward you a dollar!"

Mai Jia patted the table, and Zheng Zeshi said another scene, turned and walked out. This kind of thing is the most painful when making a decision, but it becomes relaxed and happy after it is settled. He went back to pack his things and called Chen Qi by the way.

"Fat Kent!"

At this moment, a female colleague suddenly slipped in with a surprised look on her face: "They said you were leaving?" "Yes!"

"Where to go? Jiahe?"

"Sister Li, don't ask about this kind of thing!"

"You're not going back to TVB, are you? That's impossible, could it be...hiss!"

The female colleague's eyes suddenly widened. Zheng Zeshi hissed and said, "We are just friends. Don't think about me dying!" "Wow! Fat Kent, you are so brave. Do you really dare to go?"

"People are prospering one by one, and Lin Lingdong is shooting movies. Why can't I? Okay, okay, I'm leaving. See you in the world!" Zheng Zeshi walked away holding a bunch of things.

The female colleague sighed: "It's only been a few years, and Xinyi City is about to collapse? It seems that I have to prepare a way out. Her name is Gu Weili, she works as a producer and coordinator. She has a younger brother who is in middle school. His name is Gu Dezhao.

The core of Xinyi City's ability to create brilliance is the seven-member creative team.

Secondly, there are these backbones. Their films may not be big hits, but they have effectively increased the number of films produced by New Art City and basically have no losses.

Chen Qi broke up the seven-member creative team and began to dig out the middle layer. He dug around and dug around, and sooner or later, an empty shell was left. Mai Jia and Shi Tian have poor creative abilities and are already rotten meat in the pot. People like Huang Baiming can hang out anywhere. If Xinyi City collapses, he can still go elsewhere, or simply stand on his own.

Chen Qi plans to spend one year on it. Next year, the leftists must expand the number of theaters. End of April.

When Zheng Zeshi came over, the first important thing was to hold a meeting.

Early in the morning, all the backbone of the leftist party arrived. Chen Qi and Shi Nansheng presided over it, representing Dongfang Company and Yindu respectively.

Those present include: Tsui Hark, Xian Qiran, Lam Lingdong, Mou Dundi, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong, Liu Xuehua, Zheng Zeshi, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Saifeng, Guan Lijie, Wu Zhenyu, Li Lianjie, Ji Chunhua, Xiong Xinxin, Sun Jiankui.

These people, plus Li Hanxiang and Chen Musheng who were not present, are the entire productive force of the left. Shi Nansheng first summarized the first quarter of Yindu.

Later, Chen Qi also said: "Dongfang Company only released one movie, "Life is Beautiful" in the first quarter, and the final box office was 17 million, breaking the record for Hong Kong literary films. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so high. I thought 10 million would be pretty good.

Let me briefly report the situation to everyone..."

"Master, I'm afraid you are so polite!" Qiu Shuzhen said with a smile.

"That's right, you are the boss, what do you report to us?" Liang Jiahui said. "Attitude! Do you understand your attitude? Do you understand your humility?"

Chen Qi snorted, cosplayed Lei Jun's friendly smile, and said: ""Life is Beautiful" made about 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and 7.85 million US dollars overseas. It will be released in mainland China in the future. Different from the past, this film we You may get some mainland income.

In addition, I have reached an agreement with 20th Century Fox to sign up for next year's Oscars, and there will be a series of activities that I won't go into details here. ""Tai Chi 3" will be exhibiting at the Cannes Film Festival in May. I have other important matters and will not attend. Led by Nan Sheng, the film also includes several films such as "Kapok Kasaya". "Tell me about this year's filming plans!" "

""Happy Ghost 2", directed by Lin Lingdong, starring Liang Jiahui, plus three young and beautiful new faces!" "Master, you dislike us!"

"Shut up! "Happy Ghost 2" is filming in the summer and is expected to be completed in one month. A Dong has a heavy task this year, and there is also a film "Fatal Express" next, starring Li Lianjie, Qiu Shuzhen, Yu Rongguang, Guan Lijie, Zheng Zeshi, Ji Chunhua , Xiong Xinxin, Sun Jiankui, Wu Zhenyu!

The script has been completed, so you can prepare accordingly and try to finish filming within this year and release it next year. ""laugh! "

Qiu Shuzhen immediately became happy when she heard that her name was listed behind Li Lianlian. She must be the heroine. Li Saifeng glanced at her, feeling a little disappointed. He only filmed one film, "Happy Ghost", and then it was gone.

"The Frog Prince, directed by Xian Qiran, stars Andy Lau, Chung Chuhong, Liang Jiahui, Zheng Zeshi, plus a young and beautiful actress. I have finished writing the script for a comedy film right away, and it will be released on Christmas or Spring Festival."

Chen Qi looked at this group of people, especially those who have not yet become famous, and thought to himself: "Grow up quickly, so that I can film "Eight Stars Announcement" and "Nine Stars Announcement". This is called the serious Spring Festival film. , All-Stars is lively and lively, Hong Kong people love to watch this.

After he finished speaking, he called out: "Old Zheng? Old Zheng?" "Ah?"

Zheng Zeshi didn't react for a moment and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, they used to call me Fat Kent." "What's Fat Kent and Thin Kent? It's Lao Zheng. When will your script be written?"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"After you finish writing it, bring it to me, and I will set up a project for you!" "Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qi scanned around and said again: "Ah Feng!" "Brother Qi!" Li Saifeng cheered up.

"Don't worry, I'm too busy right now. I'll arrange your play when I get some time." "I'll be fine!"

Li Saifeng said hurriedly, but felt a lot more comfortable.

Historically, she was the heroine of "Mr. Zombie". Now "Mr. Zombie" is being filmed by Zhuang Cheng. Zhuang Cheng cannot use any left-wing actors, otherwise the secret will be revealed. This role is planned to be played by Li Lizhen.
