A month and a half after returning from Taiwan, the movie "The Gods" was finally completed.

This film took two months in total, and it was the slowest drama Ye Jin filmed.

The reason for this is mainly because Ye Jin has higher requirements for this drama.

When filming "Snake Shame Hand" and "Drunk Fist", Ye Jin was just an actor. He only needed to do what the director told him and did not have much say.

But now he has been promoted to producer and has strengthened his control over his works. He hopes that he can produce more fine works, so he keeps improving the drama "The God of Fight".

Even though Director Ding had already agreed to all the fight scenes in the movie, Ye Jin still asked to shoot them twice so that he could have more good materials for editing.

In terms of literary dramas, Ye Jin also strictly requires that every actor must be involved in the drama, and if he is not in good mood, he must reshoot it, without being careless at all.

In fact, Ye Jin's acting skills are not very good. So he often asks director Ding Shanxi, senior Lin Xue and others for advice, and humbly learn.

The male protagonists are so eager to learn, so the others naturally dare not be casual. Therefore, the learning atmosphere of the crew of "The God of Fight" is very strong. After filming this drama, each crew member felt that he had learned a lot.

After two months of hard shooting, the movie was finally successfully completed.

As the producer, Ye Jin announced the news, warm cheers rang out from the entire crew.

"Thank you for your efforts over the past two months." Ye Jin bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you for your tolerance and support for me over the past two months! I announced that I will hold a final banquet at Haibawang Restaurant at 8 o'clock tonight. Brothers must support you!"

Hearing what he said, the people present cheered again, and their voices were much louder than before.

...

The final banquet was not very popular in the early 1970s. Because at that time, the general investment of movies was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and film merchants wanted to spend a penny in half.

At a finale, sixty or seventy people in the crew would have to set up six or seven tables. One table should be priced at 500 Hong Kong dollars, and seven tables would be 3,500 yuan. That much money is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person for half a year.

The most important point is that the film company has paid the film, so naturally he is unwilling to spend the money again.

However, Ye Jin's idea is different from that of a film company.

He is now just opening mythology film industry and is in urgent need of talents. Many of the crew members are the targets he wants to win over.

As the saying goes, talent is rare. In ancient times, kings were willing to build a golden platform for recruiting talents. What is a mere final banquet?

...

At 7:30 pm, Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia and Chen Ziqiang had already arrived at Haibawang Restaurant.

"A Jin, I have ordered the banquet. But to be honest, is it too extravagant for a table of 888 yuan?" Chen Ziqiang said smacking his lips.

In 1974, the banquet worth 888 yuan per table was higher than the monthly salary of ordinary people. In 2019, the monthly salary of ordinary office workers in first-tier cities in mainland China was 6,000 yuan.

Ye Jin ordered a banquet worth 888 yuan, which is equivalent to ordering a banquet worth 10,000 yuan in 2019, which is quite luxurious.

"It's okay, Willie, I'm spending money on my brothers anyway, and there are no outsiders on the left and right." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled.

Starting from 7:45, people arrived one after another.

"Director Ding, welcome, please go upstairs!"

"Brother Hong, Brother Ying, Brother Wu, Abiao, Afa... You are all here too, please sit upstairs!"

"Uncle Mosquito, I'm waiting for you!"

Ye Jin took Lin Qingxia downstairs to welcome guests.

At eight o'clock, everyone was here.

Everyone in the crew, unless they really can't come, there is nothing that won't be given face.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the meal right away!" Ye Jin smiled, and then ordered the manager to serve the food.

With a sound of [Serving], the delicacies of mountains and sea were delivered soon.

Lobster, sea cucumber, abalone, bird's nest, grouper, sea crab, oyster...

Seeing so many delicious food, everyone was naturally amazed. The richness of the banquet was far beyond their imagination.

"Wow, A Jin, you are so brother!" Sammo Hung smiled.

Before, Ye Jin said he wanted to invite everyone to the final banquet, but in fact, everyone had never thought that it would be so good. It was considered good to have fish, meat and wine. Unexpectedly, Ye Jin was really willing to spend money and had everything, which was beyond their expectations. It was really interesting!

"Of course, brothers, it's me!" Ye Jin smiled and said, "Come on, I'll give you a drink first, thank you for your efforts over the past two months!" After that, Ye Jin drank the beer in the glass in one go.

"Wow, okay!" Everyone cheered when they saw him drinking proudly.

...

With Ye Jin as the leader, everyone is no longer reserved.

Drinking, joking, and joking, and it’s extremely lively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ye Jin smiled and said to Sammo Hung, "Brother Hong, I think it's a pity for you to be a martial arts director. Why don't you come to my company? I'll let you be a director."

"Director?!" Sammo Hung was stunned, and his eyes lit up.

Chen Huiyi, Feng Kean and others at the same table also looked at Ye Jin and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ye, are you really fake? Can you really let Brother Sanmao be the director?"

Martial arts director, also known as action director, although the name also contains the word "director". Compared with a real director, it is far inferior to a famous, status, and pay.

For example, Tang Jia has been in charge of martial arts for director Zhang Che for more than ten years, such as "One-Armed Knife", "One-Armed Knife King", "Thirteen Taibao", "New One-Armed Knife", "The Horse", "Five Poisons Tianluo" and other classic martial arts films, all of which were written by him.

However, director Zhang Che can leave a strong mark in the history of Xiangjiang film and even in the history of Chinese film. However, Tang Jia is unknown. Except for Xiao’s martial arts fans, no one can remember his name anymore.

In terms of film pay, directors start with five digits. A director like Luo Wei can get a salary of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. In comparison, no matter how powerful a martial arts coach is, the salary is only a few thousand yuan.

Just like Sammo Hung, this time he played the villain and served as a martial arts director in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", his salary was only 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was not even as good as Lin Qingxia.

There is no precedent for action directors to be promoted to directors at present.

Liu Jialiang has worked for Xiao for more than ten years and has participated in the production of countless fine films. Until now, he has not been promoted to director.

This year, he followed Zhang Che to Taiwan to start Changgong Film. The reason why he was willing to let go of everything about Xiao and went to Changgong to be a wasteland bull was because Zhang Che promised him to improve him as a director. Unfortunately, Zhang Che has not fulfilled his promise yet. It is said that Liu Jialiang is very uncomfortable and is almost having a fight with Zhang Che.

As an old senior in the martial arts guidance industry and the direct descendant of Huang Feihong, Liu Jialiang can be said to be famous in the martial arts world and has a high status. It is so difficult for him to be a director, so naturally no one else can think of it.

Therefore, if Sammo Hung can really be promoted to director, it would be like three consecutive levels, a huge leap.
