Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong.
Sylvia Chang dragged her suitcase out, and Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark outside immediately met.
Huang Baiming stretched out his hand and said: Miss Zhang, hello, I am Huang Baiming.
Recognize your name for a long time!Sylvia Chang shook hands with Huang Baiming and said with a smile.
Tsui Hark and Wong Pak-ming helped Sylvia get on the car with their luggage, Wong Pak-ming acted as the driver, while Tsui Hark and Sylvia-ming sat in the back row.
Tsui Hark had some friendship with Sylvia when he was working at Jiashi.
This time, Mai Jia, Wong Pai Ming and others were preparing to make a Hong Kong version of the 007 movie, and needed an actress with a relatively famous reputation in Taiwan to open up the box office in Taiwan. Tsui Hark recommended Chang Ai Jia.
Sylvia Chang was originally from Taiwan, but because his elders in his family had a good relationship with Zou Wenhuai, he went to Hong Kong to join Jiahe Company.Zhang Aijia was also the stage name given to her by her elders at that time, which means loving Jiahe.
However, after staying in Jiahe for a year, Sylvia Chang returned to Taiwan to become a voice actor before making a movie again.
Two years ago, Sylvia Chang married the president of the Associated Press branch in Hong Kong, and she moved to Hong Kong to settle down.
After Jiashi went bankrupt, Jiashi's general manager Liang Shuyi and Zhang Aijia jointly opened a Bigao Film Company. Bigao Company made a movie last year and this year, and the box office was not very ideal.
A few months ago, Zhang Aijia had a quarrel with her husband and returned to Taiwan in anger.Liang Shuyi also compared her company without any hope, so she opened a Fucai Film Company with her husband.
Wong Pai-ming and others invited Chang Ai-jia to Hong Kong, not just to invite her to star in a movie.
Also, because Xinyi City is in urgent need of talents, Mai Jia and his team are unable to work at all, so they want to recruit Sylvia Chang, who has rich experience in film and music production, into the company.
Shortly after getting in the car, Chang Aijia talked about the serious matter and said: I didn’t say it clearly on the phone, what kind of film do you want to make?Copy 007?
Wong Baiming explained: The film planning plan is still under discussion, but we unanimously agree that 007 movies cannot be adapted and must be combined with the style of Hong Kong movies.The story style is similar to "The Royal Sister" of Oriental DreamWorks, and the protagonist is also set as three people.
"The Royal Senior Sister"?It was the newspaper that was very popular a while ago, which one starred Brigitte Lin?Zhang Aijia asked.
Tsui Hark nodded and said: This movie was released five days ago and the box office was very strong.
Zhang Aijia stayed in Taiwan and didn’t know the situation, so she asked: Is this movie very good?
Huang Baiming sighed: It’s not just good-looking, it’s simply shocking. Kang Jianfei’s plot design convinced me.
Zhang Aijia asked: Did you hear that Qingxia personally acted in the movie?
Tsui Hark said: It's Ah, he played pretty well.
True or fake?Then I must go and have a look.
Sylvia Chang smiled.
When she met Brigitte Lin, Brigitte Lin was far less famous than she is now. The two have always had a good personal relationship. They also starred in "The Dream of Red Mansions" together, with Sylvia Chang playing Lin Daiyu, while Brigitte Lin played Jia Baoyu.
Huang Baiming smiled and said: If you want to see Ah, that ticket is not easy to buy.
Zhang Aijia asked in confusion: Why is it difficult to buy?
Huang Baiming smiled and said: You can see it yourself later.
Although Kai Tak Airport is the third largest international airport in the world in terms of passenger traffic, it is located in the center of the city.
As soon as Huang Baiming finished speaking, the car had already passed by a theater under Princess Jin Cinema. There was a long ticket purchase outside the theater.
Sylvia Chang said astonished: It’s only past two o’clock in the afternoon, and it has been released for five days. Why are there so many people queuing up to buy movie tickets during the day?
Huang Baiming sighed: That's why I said that this movie is crazy. The "Best Partner" we are going to film is following the routine of "The Royal Sister".However, there must be innovation in the plot and give full play to the advantages of our New Art City's funny films, so that we can hope to compete with DreamWorks for the schedule.
Zhang Aijia returned to Hong Kong this time, not only to come back to work, but also to make peace with her husband.
After Huang Baiming and the others sent Chang Aijia home, Zhang Aijia saw that there was no one at home, so she took their car to the company.
Tsui Hark's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been completed and he is about to do the post-production. He got off the car and went to edit it halfway.
Mai Jia, Tsui Hark and Teddy Robin are doing the late stages of "The Legend of the Swordsman", and the company in New Art City is Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and Shi Nansheng.
Shortly after Sylvia Chang arrived in Xinyi City, Eric Tsang also arrived and continued to discuss as he talked yesterday.
Huang Baiming analyzed: We have confirmed yesterday that, like "The Royal Senior Sister", it is also a model of two men and one woman.First of all, there must be a more terrifying protagonist responsible for making fun of it, so let Mai Jia play this role; then use a more handsome male lead to attract female audiences. I think Chow Yun-fat from Wireless Channel is good.Chow Yun-fat already has many TV fans. If he starred in "Best Partner", he would definitely bring a lot of audiences.
Eric Tsang said: Chow Yun-fat is a TVB person, and he has many dramas recently, so I'm afraid it's not easy to invite him.
Shi Tian suggested: How about Xu Guanjie?He is a big singer and a big-name actor, and he has more fans than Chow Yun-fat.
Zeng Zhiwei shook his head and said: Jiahe has always supported Xu's company. It is hundreds of times more difficult to ask Xu Guanjie to film than to hire Chow Yun-fat.
Huang Baiming gritted his teeth and said: If it is difficult to ask for it, you have to invite it. At worst, you can give him a 2 million yuan salary, so I don’t believe it and don’t want to ask him.
Looking at the results of their discussion yesterday, Chang Aijia suddenly said: I think the personality of this female character can be changed.
Huang Baiming asked: How to change it?
Sylvia Chang said: This character can be more a man and can interact more with the male protagonist.
Yes, yes, the bald detective conquered the man's wife, and many viewers must love to watch it.Eric Tsang agreed repeatedly.
A few people said at a glance and perfected the characters and stories of "Best Partner" little by little, and then Wong Pai-ming was responsible for writing the script.
Of course, before writing the script, you have to wait for Mai Jia to nod. The core of the creation of Xinyi City is Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian.
Everyone discussed for an afternoon and went out for dinner together in the evening.
When ordering, Wong Baiming took the opportunity to say to Eric Tsang: How are you thinking about that?
The smile on Zeng Zhiwei's face froze, and then he said with a smile: I haven't thought about it yet, I'll consider it again.
Wong Pai-ming is inviting Eric Tsang to join the New Art City, but Eric Tsang is still shaking his heart.
Eric Tsang first went to work with Xinyi City, but was pulled by Sammo Hung.
As a result, after a collaboration, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others felt that Eric Tsang was very capable, so they kept using his benefits to win him over. Even this "Best Partner" was planned to let Eric Tsang be the director.
But Zhiwei Zeng had a director's appointment with an actor at Oriental DreamWorks, and DreamWorks' development momentum was so strong that he really couldn't make up his mind to leave.
Eric Tsang was upset when he had a meal, so he called Sammo Hung after he got home.
He has been with Sammo Hung for several years. Sammo Hung is equivalent to his elder brother, so when he is unsure of his mind, he always asks Sammo Hung to help analyze it.
Zeng Zhiwei talked about his difficulties and asked with the phone: Hello, Brother Sanmao, where do you think I should stay?
Sammo Hung said: You go to Oriental Dream Factory tomorrow to test it and see how Kang Jianfei is doing to you.If he really wants you to keep you, you can continue working with him. This person is very powerful and has a promising future in his work.If he doesn't care about you, go to Xinyi City...
Sammo Hung said a lot, and Eric Tsang remembered it all in his heart. He ran to Oriental Dream Factory early the next morning.
After greeting several employees, Zeng Zhiwei waited for half a minute before entering Kang Jianfei's office and said with a smile: Mr. Kang, morning.
Early, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Sit as you like."
Thanks!Zeng Zhiwei nodded and sat down.
Before Zeng Zhiwei could speak out, Kang Jianfei was the first to speak: Why did you have time to find me today? Do you have any new ideas?As long as you bring the script, I will definitely support you. Just let it go and shoot it.
Zeng Zhiwei's old face turned red. He didn't have any plans for a new film. He has been helping Xinyi City filming in the past few months, and he also received a meager salary from DreamWorks in the middle.
Kang Jianfei said this so generously, but every sentence seemed to be mocking him, Zeng Zhiwei was slandering him. How could Zeng Zhiwei have the face to speak out?
Seeing that Zeng Zhiwei was silent, Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Tell me, what's wrong with me today?
Eric Tsang hesitated for a moment and finally said: I am going to make a new film in New Art City, and I am going to invite me to be a director.
Oh, what movie?Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
The title of the film is tentatively set to be "Best Partner".Zeng Zhiwei felt that it was nothing to reveal his name, just as long as he didn’t say the content.
"Best Partner"?Kang Jianfei was so amused and couldn't tell what it felt like.
In the first half of the year, Kang Jianfei released "Mr. Zombie" in advance, which gave birth to Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", and also released a movie version of Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Taoist Master".
Now that he is filming a movie called "The Royal Sister", he actually made "Best Partner" come out more than a year in advance, which is completely messy!
It is estimated that the details of "Best Partner" will change greatly, such as adding some exciting speed and explosion scenes, which can be learned from "Sister Royal".
When Kang Jianfei heard that the New Art City was going to film the fierce film "Best Partner", he immediately became alert. Even if he could not stop the filming of this movie, he would still keep Eric Tsang.
Anyway, after the company was hit by the hit "Senior Sister Royal", it was preparing to expand its scale, and Zeng Zhiwei is a capable talent, so it would not be wasted any time for him to give him an important position.
Kang Jianfei said with a kind smile: Brother Zeng, I decided to officially expand the company's production department. Pan Yingzi would definitely not be able to do it alone.Why not do this? If you become the manager of the company's production department, Pan Yingzi is still the vice president of film and television and also serves as the manager of the artist department.
Zeng Zhiwei was stunned when he heard this. The production department was very important to a film company. He never dreamed that Kang Jianfei would ask him to manage the production department.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: Why, don’t you want to?
I am willing, thank you Mr. Kang for your trust, I will definitely manage the production department.
Eric Tsang nodded repeatedly, as for the director of "Best Partner", how can he compare with the production manager of DreamWorks?
Go to the hell of the New Art City.
Sylvia Chang dragged her suitcase out, and Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark outside immediately met.
Huang Baiming stretched out his hand and said: Miss Zhang, hello, I am Huang Baiming.
Recognize your name for a long time!Sylvia Chang shook hands with Huang Baiming and said with a smile.
