Tao Yushu's character has always been calm and majestic, and she rarely fully reveals her emotions, but when she came back tonight, her behavior was completely different from usual. "The Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association suddenly issued a ban order, requiring actors and directors in Hong Kong to

You are not allowed to cooperate with our Lin Film Company."

"Where did the news come from?"

"The actors and directors of several movies being produced by the company have been notified." Tao Yushu's tone was full of annoyance.

Although I had anticipated this situation, the feeling of being threatened but unable to do anything was not pleasant. "A few directors were a little better, and the actors were a little trembling."

Human beings seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so the concerns and fears of the actors are understandable.

The attitude of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Federation represents the attitude of the pseudo-Cultural Bureau of the Bay Island. Once they are banned for cooperating with Lam Films, what they will face is not a situation where one or two films cannot be made, but no one.

Investors dare to use them again.

After all, Wandao is now the largest foreign market for Hong Kong films, and no film company wants to lose such a big piece of fat. The directors can say that at worst they will film under pseudonyms, but the actors rely on their faces to make a living, and they will avoid them even if they want to.

No. There is no movie to shoot, and no place to find food. No one wants to fall into such a miserable situation just because of filming a movie.

"Don't worry, the most important thing right now is to stabilize people's hearts. Aren't those actors afraid of being banned? Give them a contract.

Depending on their status, Lam Pictures will give them 10 film contracts in the next five years, and the film pay will be 20% higher than the market price.

You tell them whether they sign this contract or not, it's just a guarantee we give them so that they don't have to worry about anything. These actors have cooperated with us first, so they shouldn't be blocked.

I promise both hands and let them finish filming the scene at hand first."

Lin Chaoyang's expression was calm and clear, which immediately calmed down Tao Yushu's somewhat flustered mood. "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."

"Have the contracts with those companies been signed?" "Yes, the investment funds have been received."

Lin Chaoyang nodded, "As long as the account is received, how many people can I tie up now?"

When he said this, there was a hint of joking on his face, and Tao Yu wrote: "You are still in the mood to laugh!" "What if you don't laugh? Are you still crying?"

Lin Chaoyang looked relaxed and continued: "Wandao's biggest reliance now is their market, but except for "The Truman Show" and "A Better Tomorrow," our films have never been screened in Wandao.

It should be said that they have taken a stance of blocking us from the very beginning, but they have not stated it openly before. I guess this time it should be stimulated by seeing us cooperating with Yindu and Xiying Studio on "The Kid King"

arrive."

After the initial panic, Tao Yushu's mood also relaxed.

"It's like this. We don't have a Bay Island market to begin with. Now we mainly need to win over those collaborators. I guess the bosses of these companies will call me tomorrow...

While she was talking, Big Brother rang.

Tao Yushu answered the phone and said, "Hey, Director Wu. I just heard about it. Don't worry, it won't have any impact on our Lin family. Our films are rarely shown in Bay Island."

Tao Yushu chatted on the phone for almost ten minutes. After hanging up the phone, he smiled bitterly and said to Lin Chaoyang:

"Wu Siyuan. Hearing the news about the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association, he was worried about the impact and wanted to break the contract." Lin Chaoyang heard the content of Tao Yushu's phone call just now, and he could guess what Wu Siyuan said.

She warned Wu Siyuan in a tough manner about the consequences of breaking the contract, and then gave him a slap in the face, saying that he could continue to participate in Lin's Pictures' movies in the future. "The response was good. This matter had nothing to do with them in the first place. They were banned.

He can't block them. He's just afraid that the movie will fail and lose money." Tao Yushu sighed, "Yeah, but I'm just afraid of people like him following the trend."

"It doesn't matter. People like this will fall wherever the wind is strong. If they are really like Feng Suifan, then it will be difficult for us." Feng Suifan is the rhinoceros skin in the "Lucky Star" series, Hong Kong

The backbone of the Nine Freedoms Association.

Tao Yushu said: "Wu Siyuan is fine. What I'm most worried about is the theater chain. Golden Harvest and Xinyi City will definitely add insult to injury when they get this news. Shaw Brothers may also take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"The strength of the Double South Line is a bit lacking, but it's better to have it than not. That's our fundamentals. The price of the Shaw Theater Line is bound to increase, and it doesn't matter if we share a little profit. Making money has never been our first priority.

The most important thing is to live and live more and more nourishingly.

Xiangjiang movies now seem to be in bloom, but in fact they are just cooking oil, and only the one who laughs to the end is the winner." Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Tao Yushu nodded.

"Originally, I planned to have "Autumn Fairy Tale" compete with Golden Harvest's "Oriental Condor" in July, but now it seems that it would be safer to release it earlier. If it succeeds at the box office, it can boost morale, but I am afraid that the box office will not be satisfactory.

"

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "You have to have confidence in Ah Fa. He is very popular now. From last year to now, no matter how bad the movies he starred in have not made less than 10 million at the box office. "Autumn Fairy Tale" is of good quality.

The box office won’t be bad.”

Tao Yushu felt much relieved after hearing this.

After talking to her for a while, Lin Chaoyang finally said: "Call Ah Jing and ask him to come to the company tomorrow." "Tell him to go to the company? Why?"

"Give Lin some more ammunition!" Lin Chaoyang smiled, with a somewhat mysterious expression.

Tao Yushu saw that he was mysterious and was curious, but Lin Chaoyang said that he would tell her later.

She added: "The comrades introduced by Du Feng have been arranged. I am wondering whether to recruit more people from Yanjing." The hostility from the Bay Island and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association became increasingly obvious.

, which made Tao Yushu feel a little uneasy.

She was not afraid of fair competition, but what she was afraid of was that the other party would use some underhanded tricks. Lin Chaoyang took a close look and felt that Tao Yushu's idea was right.

But Tao Yushu was a little worried about how to arrange the arrival of people.

"If you come here to become martial arts practitioners, give them better martial arts skills. Two or three low-cost action movies a year will be enough to feed a group of people." No matter how many soldiers there are, it will not be enough for them to be skilled.

Lin Chaoyang believes that the person sent by his uncle Du Ruolin must be good. "This is a good idea. I will contact my uncle now."

After Tao Yushu finished speaking, he excitedly went to make a phone call. After more than 20 minutes, he came back and gestured to Lin Chaoyang with an OK sign, with a bright smile on his face. It felt good to have someone supporting him.

The next morning, Wang Jing drove his newly purchased Mercedes-Benz to the downstairs of the Prince's Building. After getting off the car, he couldn't help but admire his car, and then turned around and went upstairs. After joining Lin's Pictures for more than half a year, he

I made two movies for Lam, both of which grossed more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office, not counting the box office in other places.

With the huge sales of these two movies, he himself also received nearly 7 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends.

This does not include the brand value generated by Wong Jing Film Studio, which is affiliated to Lam Pictures, due to the success of "Girls" and "Best Friend". In the mouths of many media reporters, Wong Jing

He has become the "second Tsui Hark".

But Wang Jing knew very well that he was much luckier than Tsui Hark.

Although Tsui Hark opened a film studio that seemed independent, in fact the big boss behind him was still Boss Lei, and he still relied on New Art City for film production and distribution.

Nowadays, the internal fighting in Xinyi City is becoming more and more fierce. The Maijia family is the dominant one and has control over many others. In the final analysis, the money is still not distributed properly. There are not many good and generous bosses like Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Mrs. Lin!"

Arriving at the office, Wang Jing saw Tao Yushu lowering his head and writing and drawing on paper, and said hello. "A Jing is here, sit down!"

After Wang Jing sat down, Tao Yushu joked with him for a few words, her expression was full of relaxation and not depressed at all. After chatting for a while, she asked: "Have you heard about the rumors in the past two days?"

Wang Jing's face turned serious and he nodded.

He thought that Tao Yushu asked him to come to the company to appease him, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, those things outside will never affect my filming for the company!" Wang Jing's guarantee was resounding. With his philistine, of course it couldn't be that kind of thing.

He is a loyal minister and good general, but his words are not entirely false.

The Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Federation has a great influence in the Hong Kong film industry, but it has not reached the level of covering the sky with one hand.

Especially now that Lin's Film Industry is booming, the ban may have some impact, but Lin's Pictures shouldn't have any big problems in the short term. As long as he can make money, Wang Jing will not change jobs easily.

He has been working hard in the Hong Kong film industry for ten years, and he knows very well the moral character of the bosses outside.

Ever since "Fashionable Girls" became popular, film company bosses have been contacting him, and some of them offered better terms than Lin's Pictures. But Wang Jing knew clearly that if he really changed jobs, those who agreed would

It would be good if half of the conditions can be implemented.

Tao Yushu had a smile on his face and seemed very satisfied with his statement. Then he asked Wang Jing, "How is the writing of the script going?"

After "Best Friend" was released, Wong Jing did not continue filming. Instead, he played for a few days to relax and then started writing the script behind closed doors.

The box office sales of "Girls" and "Best Friend" both stopped at 20 million. He plans to polish a high-quality script and strive for higher box office results. On the one hand, it is to earn more dividends;

To launch an impact on the position of first-line director in the film industry.

There is no film with a box office of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the local area. He is still a little far behind the top director in the Hong Kong film industry. "I have written more than half of it, and I will finish it next month."

Tao Yushu nodded slightly. She did not speak in a hurry, but handed over the notebook in her hand, "Look at this." Wang Jing took the notebook and quickly glanced at the contents, her face changed slightly, "Mrs. Lin, this is.

.”

"Please perfect these three scripts. In "The God of Gamblers" let Ah Fa play the male lead, in "The Gambler" let Ah Xing play the male lead, and in "The Gambler" the male lead will be played by Andy Lau, who is currently in the entertainment industry.

The movie you wrote, "The Supreme Being," will be released next month after it is finished. It can be regarded as a guide for this type of film. "

In the notebook that Tao Yushu handed to Wang Jing, he wrote the plot summaries and synopses of three movies, namely "The God of Gamblers", "The Gambler" and "The Gambler".

Among these three movies, "The God of Gamblers" and "The Gambler" were originally written by Wang Jing, and the other "The Gambler" is also an imitation of "The God of Gamblers", which can be said to be in the same vein as the first two works.

The Bay Island side is now beginning to exert extreme pressure on Lin's Pictures. Lin's Pictures must take action. The "God of Gamblers" trilogy is the big move Lin Chaoyang has prepared for Lin's Pictures.

In later years, in 1989 and 1990, the local box office of the three films "God of Gamblers", "The Gambler" and "The Gambler" each exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and a total of 120 million Hong Kong dollars was earned in Hong Kong.

If you include other places, the cumulative box office exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars, almost sweeping the Hong Kong, Bay Island and Southeast Asian film markets at that time, setting off a wave of gambling movies. Yong Sheng, a film company that started out as a slut, quickly rose to become the Hong Kong film industry.

important force.

In addition, "The God of Gamblers" also made Chow Yun-fat reach new heights, "The God of Gamblers" made Stephen Chow become the "Xingye", and "The God of Gamblers" made Andy Lau a box office star. Actor, director, screenwriter... one-stop movie maker

Because of the success of these films, their status has skyrocketed.

This kind of film that can create huge profits for the film company and win people's praise is what Lin's Pictures urgently needs. "Given one year and a total investment of 40 million, can you finish these four films?"

Tao Yushu didn't give Wang Jing much time to think, and asked straight to the point. Wang Jing was taken aback by Tao Yushu's generous words.

Shooting four films in one year is definitely a bit tight for many directors, but it is not difficult for Wong Jing.

It can even be said that three months is a long time to make a film, and what he cares more about is the "40 million" Tao Yushu said.
