"The story of "A Better Tomorrow" is already complete, and I can't write it any more.

Moreover, it is enough to do something like a salted fish turning over once.

If you do it too much, the audience may not buy it."

Lin Chaoyang's last words were somewhat meaningful, and everyone noticed something was wrong in his words.

After chatting with everyone for a few words, Di Long pulled Lin Chaoyang aside and asked seriously:

"Chaoyang, I see you went to the office with Tsui Hark and the others just now to talk about the sequel, right? Didn't we reach an agreement?,

Seeing no one around, Lin Chaoyang said truthfully: "Mai Jia and Tsui Hark want to make a sequel with the original cast."

"You also know that the story of "A Better Tomorrow" is actually quite complete. To write any more about it is actually to sell it to someone else. It would be better to make a new movie."

Ti Lung is a person who has his own pursuit of movies, otherwise he would not be thinking about transformation in middle age, nor would he repeatedly advise Chow Yun-fat on the set not to quit the movie, so he understands Lin Chaoyang's thoughts very well.

"I understand, you don't want to write the script, so they want to do it without you?"

"Yes. You also understand that as long as the wind is released now, film producers from Bay Island and Southeast Asia will definitely come to your doorstep to send money. They will not miss the opportunity to pick up money. I am not the only one who can write scripts."

Ti Long hesitated upon hearing this and said, "If you don't write the script, then I won't act in it either."

"If you don't accept the role, wouldn't you offend someone? I'm not completely in trouble with Xinyi City now. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to make money?"

"I'm not a young man in my twenties. Do you think I'm just doing this out of loyalty?

You and Asen deserve the most credit for the success of "A Better Tomorrow". Without you, the probability of the sequel's failure is greatly increased.

You all say that I have turned around now, so of course I have to take good care of my feathers, or else I can film a few movies while it’s hot,

I’ve made money, but what should I do if I lose my temper?”

Ti Lung's tone was relaxed and his reasons were very sufficient, but Lin Chaoyang knew that the main reason for doing this must be because he decided not to participate in the production of the sequel.

"I'm under a lot of pressure if you do this!"

Ti Long teased him, "Come on! You think I don't know, why did you come out and tell us all this just now?"

"What do you mean by telling you? I am obviously telling John Woo."

"So, you want to poach Xinyi City?"

"Hey, don't say it so harshly. What does poaching mean?

I think it’s a bit underwhelming for him to stay in Xinyi City. He may have better development in our Lin family.”

Di Long looked at him with a surprised expression, "You still said you didn't make trouble with others?"

"We are all adults. When it comes to business, there is nothing to worry about. If it is beneficial, we will cooperate. If it is not beneficial, we will develop separately."

Ti Long worried for him and said: "Then you are not afraid that Xinyi City will cause trouble for you?"

"Do they have time to trouble me?" Lin Chaoyang looked in the direction of Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, indicating something.

The internal strife among the three giants of Xinyi City has been on the table in the past two years. The reason why they can still maintain their dignity now is entirely because the company can still make a lot of money for everyone.

Ti Lung has been in the film industry for so many years and has seen many examples of people who can share adversity but not wealth.

He knows very well that this situation of flourishing flowers and burning oil is difficult to maintain for a long time. If something goes wrong, the building may collapse right before his eyes.

But he still had to lament Lin Chaoyang's big heart.

Xinyi City, backed by Princess Jin, has become famous in the Hong Kong film industry in recent years. If it doesn’t have some confidence and strength,

Who dares to fall out with them easily?

"Even if they are at odds with each other now, it is not easy to deal with. There is no need for you to confront them head-on."

"You don't really think I want to poach John Woo because I'm angry with them, do you?"

Di Long looked at Lin Chaoyang seriously, didn't he?

"If I say it doesn't matter at all, it sounds false to you. But our Lin family also needs to develop. Excellent talents are popular wherever they go. Don't you think so?"

Ti Lung nodded. "A Better Tomorrow" grossed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Director John Woo is as popular in the Hong Kong film industry as Lin Chaoyang.

Not only Lin, many film companies are also extending olive branches to John Woo privately or publicly.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Chaoyang's recruitment seems to be nothing.

The two chatted for a while, and then Mai Jia and Tsui Hark appeared again and went to a restaurant to celebrate. Lin Chaoyang and his wife did not go together. Everyone maintained a pleasant appearance, said hello and left the top floor of the Bank.

On the way home, Lin Chaoyang told Tao Yushu about today's situation, and Tao Yushu looked serious.

"Others can write this script, but you can't write it, let alone let them consume your fame. You are right to cherish your feathers. Filmmakers like Xiangjiang are really ruthless in making money."

"People die for money, and birds die for food. This is normal. If nothing else, our two films have locked up the first and second place in the annual box office in Hong Kong this year, and our reputation has also been opened up.

After the dividends from "A Better Tomorrow" arrive, the funds will be abundant, and you can flex your muscles in the future. Lin Chaoyang said in a relaxed tone.

"The Truman Show" brought Lam Pictures tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue, which seemed like a lot, but it was just enough for Lam Pictures to recruit some talents and launch two new movies independently.

The revenue from "A Better Tomorrow" is the bulk of it, as it ensures that Lin's Pictures has a sufficient capital chain and does not need to wait for payment, so it can continuously release new movies, creating a snowball effect.

As the couple chatted, Tao Yushu asked: "Chaoyang, is our strategy a bit radical?"

"Radical is definitely radical, but now Hong Kong movies are like a racing game. If you don't catch up,

It's easy to be left behind.

As long as we can attract a group of talents, there will be no major problems in the company's development."

Tao Yushu nodded. In the past two years, her understanding of the Hong Kong film industry has become more and more profound, and she knows that what Lin Chaoyang said is indeed reasonable.

The next morning, the launch ceremony of "The Hardcover Chasing Girls", the first film to be invested and produced by Lam Films since its establishment, was held at the Jiahe Studio.

Tao Yushu is the producer and producer of this film. The director and screenwriter of this film is Wang Jing, the male lead (bad mouth) is Chow Yun-fat, the second male lead (Wu Zhun Shao) is Chen Baixiang, and the third male traffic light is

Stephen Chow and the heroine Dong Dong are Maggie Cheung.

Lam Pictures was about to launch a new film, and Maggie Cheung volunteered to play the heroine. The role of the heroine in "Fashionable Girls" was not difficult for her, so Tao Yushu gave it to her.

Chen Baixiang was recommended by Wang Jing, and he has a good relationship with Wang Jing.

On the day of filming, many reporters came to the studio, and most of them came for Chow Yun-fat's new film.

In "A Better Tomorrow", "poison hair" became "fairy hair". The character of Ponyboy earned Chow Yun-fat enough tears from the audience, and he is now so red that he turns purple.

During the interview, reporters almost all gathered around him and producer Tao Yushu, while the other leading actors were reduced to backgrounds.

Stephen Chow looked at Chow Yun-fat surrounded by reporters with envy, "Fa Ge is so popular!"

Chen Baixiang teased him with a mean smile: "Xingzi, don't be envious, I've calculated it for you, it won't take three years.

You must be more popular than him!"

Stephen Chow looked shy and said, "Brother La, don't let me have fun!"

"How could they be making fun of you? They all say that Lin Sheng is very optimistic about you. Look at Brother Fa. I heard that it was Lin Sheng who personally selected him to play the role of Brother Ma. How popular he is now!

You don’t still question Lin Sheng’s vision, do you?”

He knew that Chen Baixiang was making fun of him, but Stephen Chow didn't know how to refute, so he could only smile.

"Okay, Brother La, Ah Xing has just started acting, so stop teasing him."

At this time, Maggie Cheung came out to rescue Stephen Chow, and Stephen Chow couldn't help but give her a grateful warning.

While several people were talking, Tao Yushu and Chow Yun-fat were answering questions from reporters. One reporter asked: "Brother Fa, I heard that New Art City and the film studio are planning to shoot "A Better Tomorrow 2". I don't know when it will start filming.

?」

Since "A Better Tomorrow" became popular, Chow Yun-fat's name in the film industry has evolved from "Ah Fa" to "Fa Ge".

He listened to the reporter's question without answering, but looked at Tao Yushu.

The movie sequel is just an idea now. I didn’t expect these reporters to have gotten the news. The news is really well-informed!

Tao Yushu said at this time: "For the sequel, you should ask New Art City or the film studio.'

After listening to Tao Yushu's words, the reporter noticed something was wrong, "Mrs. Lin, will Lin's Pictures participate in the production of "A Better Tomorrow 2"?"

"No comment!"

Tao Yushu did not answer reporters' questions, but did not prevent these reporters from asking shamelessly. In the end, she was disturbed and could only leave Chow Yun-fat to face the reporters alone.

As soon as Maggie Cheung saw her coming out of the crowd, she immediately followed her.

"Sister Jade!"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, when will Yumo come back?"

"It should be just these two days, this damn girl is going crazy in Japan!" Tao Yushu said angrily.

At this moment, on the 7th floor of Building H1, Oriental Garden, Tao Yumo carried her suitcase and rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door.

"What's going on? Are you all out?"

No one opened the door, so she put down her luggage and took out her key to open the door.

The door opened and it was clean and spotless, as if no one had ever lived there.
