But there is another reason why I am so happy today.

New Kunlun Pictures is his own film company, which has always been an inconspicuous presence in today's booming Hong Kong film industry.

Originally, Li Hanxiang established the company just for the purpose of filming "Curtain Behind the Curtain", and he never thought about the future development of this company.

But no one expected that after three or four years, New Kunlun Pictures would successively produce two critically acclaimed and well-received films, "The Man behind the Curtain" and "The Master of Chess".

Not only did it make him a lot of money, but it also made the name of New Kunlun Pictures famous.

"Chess" won the Academy Award at the Academy Awards, which not only brought fame and popularity to the creators of the show, but also made New Kunlun Pictures the darling of some bosses and film companies. Today, the boss has asked Li Hanxiang to talk about his future.

Investment in a movie.

You must know that since Li Hanxiang went to the mainland to make movies, it is rare to meet bosses in Xiangjiang who take the initiative to invest in him. Basically, he has to take the initiative to negotiate. Such a change is naturally gratifying.

.

The atmosphere of the celebration banquet gradually became more and more lively. As more and more wine was drunk, some people started to act dissolutely with their faces glowing red.

Lin Chaoyang drank a few glasses of wine with everyone, and spent most of the time listening to them chatting about various gossips in the Hong Kong film industry.

Most of the people present today were from the Shaw Brothers. As soon as they drank some wine, they couldn't help but talk about the past. As they chatted, they came up with the haunting of the Shaw Brothers dormitory.

Everyone said something to each other, chatting back and forth, which made the originally good atmosphere quiet.

The idea of ​​being haunted is certainly nonsense to outsiders, but for people like Li Hanxiang and Di Long who experienced that period personally, it is an indelible memory.

Li Ting, Lin Dai, Mochou, Leti, Bai Xiaoman...

In Li Hanxiang's words, the stars of Shaw Brothers seemed to be bewitched in those years, and they died mysteriously one after another, which further confirmed the rumors that the Shaw Brothers studio was haunted.

By the end of the conversation, these people's voices were full of regret.

"Alas, Shaw Brothers is about to close its doors soon! There are talented people from generation to generation, and we people have become antiques." Yue Hua said with great emotion.

He became famous at a young age, and was also a popular niche player in the 1970s. His fame at that time was not much worse than that of Ti Lung.

But in recent years, with the decline of Shaw Brothers' traditional martial arts movies, Yue Hua can no longer act in decent movies in the film industry. In the past two years, he has started to play supporting roles in TV series.

"You're good, at least there is still filming. Aaron is the one who is miserable. He offended Miss Fang, and now he can't even film!" Li Hanxiang patted Ti Long on the shoulder and said.

Di Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, his face full of bitterness.

I think back then, he was firmly seated as the "number one brother" in Shaw Brothers and was a popular star in the Hong Kong film industry. When he became popular, Bruce Lee was not there yet. What happened to Cheng Long?

Unfortunately, times have changed, and in the 1980s, Shaw Brothers was defeated by Golden Harvest and New Art City, and Ti Lung's acting career also fell into a trough.

By the beginning of this year, Dillon's contract with Shaw Brothers was about to expire. Shaw Brothers urged him to renew his contract several times, but Dillon refused.

In the past few years, he has watched his juniors who were not as good as him develop rapidly after leaving Shaw Brothers. It is impossible to say that Ti Lung has no ideas in his heart.

As a result, Ti Lung was naturally put in cold storage by Shaw Brothers and has not been filming for the past six months.

Last month, his contract with Shaw Brothers expired. He thought he would be able to fly freely from now on, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

In the past few years, the Hong Kong film industry has seen a large number of talents, and new stars are like crucian carp crossing the river. He only came out of Shaw Brothers in his forties, and his acting career has been fixed on martial arts movies. There are not many investors and film companies who are optimistic about him.

Before he came out of Shaw Brothers, many film companies had lively chats with him, but after he came out, none of these film companies made any move.

If there was no obstruction from Miss Fang, Di Long would not believe it.

The huge gap between before and after made Di Long feel the harshness of the world, and even more so the ruthlessness of the waves.

"Aaron, haven't any film companies contacted you recently?" Xu Guanwen asked.

Di Long shook his head, Yue Hua frowned and said, "Miss Fang is so cruel, how much effort did you spend?"

"I guess he wants to scare the monkeys."

Everyone was discussing Ti Lung's situation. On the one hand, Miss Fang was causing trouble. Another important reason was that Ti Lung's status in the world was here, and ordinary productions and roles were not worthy of him.

Otherwise, with Ti Lung's fame, he would not be in a situation where he would have no filming.

"Aaron, don't be too picky. We are no longer in that era."

Yue Hua's words were very unambitious and very realistic, but if Ti Lung wanted to bow to reality, he would have renewed his contract with Shaw Brothers long ago. Why would he have to go to this point?

Di Long expressed his attitude in silence, and everyone could understand his thoughts, but they just shook their heads helplessly.

Movies are entertainment and also a world of entertainment.

Beauties grow old, heroes grow old, and things in the world are hard to change.

The celebration banquet continues, the successful ones are rejoicing, the frustrated ones are lonely, and in the end it all comes to an end.

When everyone parted, Lin Chaoyang patted Di Long on the shoulder and said, "Brother Long, I have a hunch that your fortune will turn around soon."

Di Long chuckled, thinking that Lin Chaoyang was comforting him, and everyone around him thought the same way.

Xu Guanwen joked: "Chaoyang, I think Brother Long's fortune depends on you. You must be responsible for him to the end."

Cai Lam also joked: "What? Chaoyang wants to be the 'man behind the actor' again?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Apparently everyone had seen today's news report.

After the joke, everyone waved goodbye.

In the days after the Hong Kong Film Awards, news about the awards has been very popular in the media. Lin Chaoyang also benefited from this and gained a lot of fame in the Hong Kong film industry.

Even the movie "The Truman Show" that is being prepared has received a lot of attention.

Apart from him, the one who benefited the most from this year's Academy Awards is undoubtedly Tony Leung Ka Fai.

A young man in his twenties, who has not yet acted in a few movies, and who still carries a banning order from Wan Dao, has already won two Best Actor Awards. There has never been such a legendary figure in the Hong Kong film industry.

If we compare the popularity he and Lin Chaoyang have received these days, Lin Chaoyang is equivalent to being a third-tier internet celebrity, while Tony Leung is treated like a top-tier celebrity attending events.

Invitations from various film companies came one after another, and the conditions were more attractive than the last, making it dazzling.

Although some film companies came to visit Tony Leung Ka Fai last time when he won the Best Actor Award, the treatment he received this time was completely different. He really felt what it was like to be a popular star.

But when there were too many choices, he was a little confused and didn't know how to make a decision. Then he ran to Lin Chaoyang's house with a few scripts and asked Lin Chaoyang to help him decide.

Lin Chaoyang suddenly felt embarrassed. It wasn't that he couldn't help make this choice, but that he had to treat it with caution due to the high expectations of responsibility.

"Yushu, what do you think?"

Tao Yushu asked Liang Jiahui: "Does Jiahui want to make money or reputation?"

Liang Jiahui hesitated for a moment. If it was from his true heart, of course he wanted to make money.

He has been acting for three years and won two Best Actors, but to be honest, the remuneration he received was really pitiful.

But whenever he thought about the two Best Actor Awards he had been lucky enough to win, his eager pursuit of money seemed to be shackled and became tame.

“Want word of mouth!”

Tao Yushu flipped through the three scripts on the coffee table. These three scripts were from Luo Wei Pictures, Baohe Pictures and Film Studio.

The boss of Luo Wei Pictures is Luo Wei, a well-known director in Hong Kong in his early years, who single-handedly produced two Kung Fu superstars, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long.

Baohe Pictures is Sammo Hung's film company and a satellite company of Golden Harvest Films.

The film studio is a film company established last year after Tsui Hark and his wife Shi Nansheng launched New Art City. The financial backer behind it is Princess Jin's boss Lei.

"If you want word-of-mouth, then choose the movie studio "Dao Ma Dan"."

"Why?"

"Since Luo Wei Pictures broke up with Cheng Long, its influence has become less and less. Liu Jianquan, the director of "Ghost Informer" is also not famous. In the end, the quality of the film depends entirely on luck.

The quality of "The Best Lucky Star" produced by Baohe Pictures is guaranteed based on the cast, but this film is obviously an entertainment film. Moreover, the cast includes Sammo Hung, Michael Mak, Alan Tam, and Jiahui is equivalent to playing the fourth male lead. I think

It's so hard for people to remember.

The film studio's "Dao Ma Dan" is different. Looking at the synopsis of the script, although it is a film dominated by women and has only a few roles, it is still the male protagonist.

You are also working with female stars like Brigitte Lin and Chung Chuhong, which will help your fame and your future roles.

Moreover, I have watched several of Tsui Hark's movies. He is not the kind of director who only makes comedies. He is very talented. The investment in this movie is guaranteed by the lineup in front of and behind the scenes.

Considering all the above, I think "Daoma Dan" is the best choice right now."

Tao Yushu's analysis was so reasonable that Lin Chaoyang and Liang Jiahui couldn't help but nod in conviction.

Liang Jiahui looked at Lin Chaoyang again, "Mr. Lin, what do you think?"

"What Yu Shu said is very pertinent."

Liang Jiahui listened to his words and said happily: "Then I will accept "Dao Ma Dan"!"

Being trusted without reservation, Lin Chaoyang and his wife felt very happy, and continued to chat with Tony Leung Jiahui to learn more about the specific situation.

It turns out that no less than twenty film companies have contacted him in the past few days, and seven or eight have submitted scripts.

The three scripts that Tony Leung Ka Fai brought over were carefully selected by him.

Although he has achieved unprecedented achievements in the Hong Kong film industry, he has yet to prove himself in commercial films.

The invitations from these film companies were largely due to his fame, so the roles offered were not the kind of absolute leading men with heavy roles. "Dao Ma Dan" can be regarded as a big one.

After talking about his own affairs, Liang Jiahui remembered something again and said to Lin Chaoyang: "By the way, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Xu said she wanted to meet you when she gave me the script."

The "Mrs. Tsui" mentioned by Tony Leung Ka-fai is Tsui Hark's wife Shi Nansheng. Lin Chaoyang asked curiously: "See me? Did you say something happened?"
