Chapter 101 The Eighth Day
When Li Fangjie helped Qiao Beiyan to take a lunch break, Zhao Qiang became more and more active.
Wang Ruolin had an old relationship with an elder in her family, so she directly shouted: "Uncle Ruolin, I will open a film company in Hong Kong Island later and prepare for movies. There are many places where Uncle Ruolin's skills are used, so don't be offended.
Trouble!"
Wang Ruolin was surprised when he heard this: "Didn't Qingzai say that we won't do it until next year?"
Zhao Qiang said with disdain: "He is just a hands-off shopkeeper. How could he know that if he talks, he will break his legs. Does it mean that it will be done next year? We have to start preparations now, and if we want to co-produce with the mainland, we must obtain
With relevant qualifications. There are more than hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong City, and you can co-produce anywhere. We need to set up companies in Hong Kong City now. After returning home, I will set up a mainland film and television company, get it filed, and then
Only by building connections can you get the qualifications."
Wang Ruolin was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Zhang Qing and saw that he was confused. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Qingzi, I envy you so much. If I had such a confidante to help me back then, I might not be as good as Uncle Liu."
Difference!"
Zhang Qing smiled, glanced at Zhao Qiang who looked proud, and said: "Sister Zhao really helped me a lot."
Zhao Qiang laughed and said: "Don't come here! I'm not helping you, but also to realize my dream and life value." Then he explained to Wang Ruolin: "Zhang Qing has a girlfriend, who is beautiful, rich and powerful.
Wealth and honor are incomparable to mine. If Uncle Lin opens a film company, we can figure out how to make money ourselves. The main thing is manpower, manpower behind the scenes, and there is a lack of experienced hands."
Wang Ruolin saw that she was very motivated, but he still reminded her: "Girl Zhao, the current movie situation in mainland China is not good. As far as I know, there are about 3,000 screens in total in mainland China. In such a big country, there are only 3,000 screens in total.
Block. Why do you say left and right? Because our people investigated and found that some cinemas sell woolen sweaters during the day and show movies at night. I don’t know whether they are counted or not. Many times only one or two people watch a movie. Big
The market is not good, so it is difficult to make movies now."
Zhao Qiang was not afraid and said: "The movie is not selling well. You can't blame the audience for not appreciating it. It's because the movie is not well made. Let me tell you an idea, Uncle Lin, do you think it will work? After "The Condor" is released, it will definitely be packed with people.
It is very popular. I don’t know about Hong Kong City, but it must be like this in mainland China. Just in time, when the popularity is rapidly expanding, we will launch a movie of "The Condor" and use part of it to make it. It will definitely attract people!"
Wang Ruolin sighed and said: "It's amazing. If you have an idea, you can do it. As for the need for manpower... it's not a big problem. Hong Kong movies are also going downhill. At the peak of 1993, Hong Kong Island released 230 movies a year.
Four movies. This year, they are already halfway through, and there seem to be only about fifty movies. The ones that do well at the box office are always just a few people, and most of the others are losing money, and more movie companies are going bankrupt. So you want to recruit people,
It’s not difficult to recruit them yourself.”
Zhao Qiang smiled angrily and said: "Uncle Ruolin, you are a veteran and an elder, and you are still fooling me? Those people outside know how to make money. Even the rich people in Hong Kong Island have to work hard to fool them, and they will fool them if they can.
With so many bad movies made, let alone the boss from Mainland China? If he were not loyal, reliable and trustworthy, I would be afraid that my boss would become a pauper."
Wang Ruolin laughed and said: "What a smart girl Zhao. Well, you apply for the license first, and I will slowly find some reliable old people for you. But first of all, honest people also need to eat."
Zhao Qiang was overjoyed when she heard this and thanked her: "Uncle Ruo Lin, don't worry, we Du Juan are by no means stingy people!"
Wang Ruolin laughed, pointed at her and said, "You little devil, I think you are more like Huang Rong."
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, if you say that again, we, Mr. Zhang, will not be able to pay the errand when we go back."
Wang Ruolin became even more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "According to you, Qingzai's girlfriend is rich and powerful, isn't she Princess Huazheng?"
Zhao Qiang sighed and said: "Uncle Ruolin, when you see that girl next time, you will know that she is the real Huang Rong. Qingzi wrote about Huang Rong, describing that girl."
Wang Zitong, who had not dared to speak until now, nodded and said: "Qi Juan is really smart, beautiful and good at talking, and her mouth can make people die. My mother is a high school teacher, very strict, and the students are afraid, but she is not afraid.
And the teacher likes it.”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a man in his thirties coming in.
As soon as this man came in, his eyes first turned around in front of Zhao Qiang and Wang Zitong, and then he said with a smile: "Dad, I heard that Mr. Jin Yong is here?"
Wang Ruolin snorted and ignored him, but said to Zhang Qing: "This is my bad boy, just call him Wang Chang."
Zhang Qing stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Wang."
Wang Chang smiled with chrysanthemums all over his face. He stepped forward to hold Zhang Qing's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, I have long heard that there is a young genius in mainland China. Even Mr. Zhong Qu was full of praise and praised his successor. Unexpectedly,
He is so young and handsome."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Director Wang, thank you. Director Wang started making movies in his early twenties. From the 1980s to now, almost half of the top-grossing blockbusters in Hong Kong were produced by Director Wang. As for the word "genius"
, in front of Director Wang, I feel ashamed."
When Wang Chang heard this, he smiled more sincerely and said happily: "Mr. Jin Yong has heard of me in mainland China?"
Zhang Qing smiled, but Wang Ruolin didn't want his son to stay any longer, so he rushed to the crowd and said, "Go and shoot your salty and wet movie, and your time to make money will be wasted here."
Zhao Qiang almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and couldn't help but lament that no matter how talented a person is, one day they will eventually run out of energy.
In the past ten years, Wang Chang has been so prosperous. He has made one hit and another. As long as he intervenes and writes, there is no movie that will not be a hit.
At that time, which star in Hong Kong didn't want to be in his movie?
It's a pity that now I can only make money by making some bad movies and salty movies that I have never heard of.
The reputation of the past has almost been exhausted.
but……
The talent is exhausted, it is the creative talent, but the shooting experience is still there, the story-telling skills are still there, and the connections are still there.
Just like Zhong Qu, although he has already closed his book, he can still distinguish between good and bad. Therefore, he sits in "Ming Pao" and is the only one in the martial arts world.
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Uncle Ruo Lin, if our company makes a movie, Brother Wang Chang can help us."
Wang Ruolin shook his head repeatedly and said: "Girl Zhao, this bad guy was more reliable three or five years ago, but now..."
Seeing the disdain on his father's face and pushing him into the mud, Wang Chang blushed, but did not dare to say anything for fear of making the old man angry, so he only gave Zhang Qing and Zhao Qiang a wink, and hurried away.
.
Little did he know that Wang Ruolin looked melancholy after he left.
A man who has made so many classic and good movies is now reduced to this situation. How can a father not feel sad?
Zhao Qiang could certainly see it, and she smiled and said: "Uncle Ruolin, brother Wang Chang is very talented. It's just that all his ideas have been photographed, but his ability is still there. There is nothing else among us young people, but our creative talent is unmatched. The two of them are incomparable.
If people cooperate, wouldn't they become a perfect match and become invincible?"
Zhang Qing laughed and said, "I don't even dare to say that, but Sister Zhao, you dare to brag everywhere."
Wang Ruolin was a little moved, not only because of the book "Shooting the Condor", but also because of the song "Iron-Blooded Heart".
People like him and Qiao Beiyan, who have truly experienced the years and seen countless ebbs and flows, can best tell whether a person has something in his stomach.
Talent is something that ordinary people cannot see and may not be able to understand.
But veterans like them understand best that talent truly exists and cannot be hidden or faked.
Just writing "The Condor" or just composing a piece of music called "Iron-Blooded Heart" may be considered lucky for a while, but when the two are combined, that's true talent.
His son Wang Chang was originally a Sanluzi and was very smart, but he was just a little smart. Therefore, even though Wang Chang had been popular for ten years, in the eyes of his sixth uncle Qiao Beiyan, he was just a little loser in the world, and he had never taken a serious look at him.
Sure enough, after the tide rose, the tide fell, and he was left on the beach to die.
Looking at how Qiao Beiyan treats Zhang Qing, it is completely on the same level as his treatment of Zhong Qu.
If such a great talent could help his son, Wang Ruolin felt that he would be able to rest assured in the future.
…
At night, Cuihua Restaurant.
Qiao Beiyan treated guests and of course reserved the best floor.
At six o'clock in the evening, Qiao Beiyan's exclusive car Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, license plate number dk6, slowly parked in front of the restaurant.
The parking staff stepped forward to guide them. Qiao Beiyan and Li Fangjie got off the car. In a Bentley behind them, Wang Ruolin, Zhang Qing and Zhao Qiang got off together.
The people who got off the third car were Wang Zitong, Hua Die and Zhang Lan.
At almost the same time, a Mercedes Benz slowly drove in. After the car stopped, the two people who got out were Zhong Qu and his friend, Hu Mu.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to arrive first. I'm rude and disrespectful."
Zhong Qu said with a smile on his face, and then stepped forward step by step.
Qiao Beiyan looked at him with a smile. Sure enough, when the bell light fell on Zhang Qing's face next to Qiao Beiyan, he was startled at first, his eyes were a little blank, and then his expression changed drastically.
Wang Ruolin stepped forward first, supported Zhong Qu, and said comfortingly: "Zhong Sheng, don't worry, he is an old man in his seventies."
Zhong Qu still had a look of disbelief in his eyes, pointing at Zhang Qing and saying: "He, he, he..."
Qiao Beiyan smiled and said: "You look like Xia Zai, right? I just came to give you a surprise. But Zhongsheng, you are also an old man in the world, and you are used to the troubles. Don't lose your identity in front of the younger generation."
Zhong Qu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but tears filled his eyes. He looked at Zhang Qing who came up to salute him and said, "Okay, okay... In what year are you born?"
Zhang Qing told him his birth year, but Zhong Qu refused to give up and asked about the day of the month. After Zhang Qing told him, what caught him off guard was that the old man burst into tears and burst into tears.
The whole group was confused. Wang Ruolin and Hu Mu were also old acquaintances and asked: "Hu Sheng, Zhong Sheng, what is this...?"
Hu Mu's face didn't look too good either, but his eyes were a little more suspicious and uneasy, and he said angrily: "This is the eighth day since Zhong Xia left."
Everyone suddenly realized that after a person dies, he will return to his soul after seven days, and on the eighth day, he will be reincarnated...
Zhang Qing frowned, panicking, what the hell?
