Chapter 138 Black and White Movies (Second update!)

  Many things, no accident, is the biggest accident.

   A few days after Chu Huan had dinner with Hong Jinbao and others, Hong Jinbao came to Chu Huan with a script.

   "Young Master Huan, this is a script I wrote myself, take a look!"

  Sitting in the office of the general manager of Black and White Image, Chu Huan took the script from Hong Jinbao.

The script is very different from the novel, and ordinary people may not be able to understand the script, but Chu Huan is an exception. Although he has never been in this circle, don't forget that Chu Huan had a female celebrity before. friend's.

  Chu Huan also discussed the script with her.

  So Chu Huan still has no problem reading the script.

The content of the script, in Chu Huan’s opinion, is not much new, it is the revenge story of the current traditional routine, but for people like Hong Jinbao, the content of the script can only reflect 50% of the movie. It's more important to see how they handle the action in the movie.

  So after reading the movie script for a while, Chu Huan began to ask Hong Jinbao about the action design of the movie.

  Hong Jinbao obviously came prepared, and began to introduce to Chu Huan some of his action designs in this movie.

   When it comes to rising, Hong Jinbao will show Chu Huan some props from the office.

   After finishing speaking, Hong Jinbao also began to pant slightly, but his face still had an excited expression: "Young Master Huan, what do you think?"

  Chu Huan sighed inwardly. Although what Hong Jinbao said just now was exciting, he still couldn't let go of it. In terms of action design, he still tended to the current Li Xiaolong's style, closer to the hard bridge and hard horse style.

   But no matter what, this is the first film that Hong Jinbao has produced. As a person who is now responsible for black and white images, Chu Huan still has to give a certain degree of respect.

"It looks pretty good to me, but Brother Sanmao, I still feel that your action design is a bit similar to that of Brother Long, but you also listened to my opinion and tried to design it as funny as possible, but you This kind of idea of ​​trying to balance both ends, I am worried that it will backfire in the end and make a mess."

  Hearing Chu Huan's opinion, Hong Jinbao was inevitably a little disappointed. He designed this movie very seriously, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan would still have an opinion.

This is like a web writer struggling to come up with an opening, thinking that his novel must be a book, and then submitting the opening to the editor, but the editor was able to pick out a bunch of faults from it, so that Writers are hit hard.

   "Then Huan Shao, what do you mean?"

  Hong Jinbao restrained his disappointment and looked at Chu Huan tentatively.

Chu Huan encouraged: "The story is still very good, and the action design is actually quite good, so I voted for this movie, but if the movie is released in the future and the box office is not very good, Sanmao, you have to learn from it. Experience, of course, if the box office sells well, the company will give priority to investing in your movies Sanmao in the future, and will give you greater rights!"

   This is not a certain movie in memory. Chu Huan has no way of judging whether this movie is a big hit or hit the market, but it will definitely not be a big hit if you don’t try it.

  It's only hundreds of thousands of investment, Chu Huan is still willing to give Hong Jinbao and the others a chance.

  Hearing Chu Huan's opinion before, Hong Jinbao thought that his movie was dead, but he didn't expect Chu Huan to change the subject, and he was willing to invest in this movie. The mood in his heart was naturally like a roller coaster.

   There was a joyful expression on his face, and he quickly expressed his loyalty and said: "Don't worry, Young Master Huan, I will definitely work hard to shoot this movie, and try to get a good start for the company when the time comes!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, looking at Hong Jinbao's excited expression, he knew that this time he had actually succeeded.

  Using this little money to promote Hong Jinbao, in Chu Huan's opinion, is definitely worth the money.

   "Who are you going to use as the leading role in this movie?" Chu Huan asked aloud.

  Hong Jinbao hurriedly said: "I and Lou Zai will co-star together, and Miao Kexiu will be the female lead."

  Chu Huan laughed: "You have mobilized the entire company!"

  Hong Jinbao sneered, and said, "However, Young Master Huan, we don't have to worry about the actors, but because this is a play from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, we may have to use the studios of Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers."

  Chu Huan had already noticed it when he read the script just now, but Chu Huan is not a professional when it comes to movies, so Chu Huan asked.

   "Do you think we should use Golden Harvest's studio or Shaw Brothers' studio?"

  In Chu Huan's view, for things he is not familiar with, try not to lead the experts by the outsiders, otherwise it is very likely to become like the Huaguo men's football team in the end, losing even face, and being stubborn.

  Hong Jinbao said: "I think Shaw's is better. After all, our relationship with Golden Harvest is not so good now. Even if we want to borrow their studio, the other party may not agree!"

The Lisheng Theater Line was already rented out by Golden Harvest, but Chu Huan stepped in and snatched the Lisheng Theater Line. The incense is completely gone.

   On the contrary, Shaw Brothers will be very happy to see Jiahe deflated.

  In addition, in terms of the scale of the studio alone, Golden Harvest can't compare with Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio.

  Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay Studio has a total area of ​​650,000 square feet, with 6 independent studios and 2 set streets; in 1967, the number of studios under expansion reached 12.

  At that time, the Shaw Studios in Qingshuiwan occupied the entire hilltop and built more than a dozen houses. At the same time, countless streets, city walls, suspension bridges, and forts were built on the front and back of the mountain.

  When ancient costume martial arts films were popular in Xiangjiang in the 1960s and 1970s, there were thousands of people working in front of and behind the scenes in the Shaw Brothers studio every day.

   This is why foreign media call Shaw Brothers Studios Oriental Hollywood.

  Shaw Brothers Studios does not only serve Shaw Brothers films. In order to increase income and reduce expenditure, Shaw Brothers also leases Shaw Brothers Studios to other film companies in Xiangjiang for filming.

   Simply put, just give money.

  Finally, Chu Huan discussed with Hong Jinbao and decided to rent Shaw Studios to shoot Hong Jinbao's new movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight"!

  Because there is no official general manager of Black and White Image, so Chu Huan handed over this matter to Hong Jinbao to operate it himself.

  Anyway, now that black and white images are in the film industry, he is the one with the most connections.

  Do those who can do more work?

  However, this also reminded Chu Huan that there should be no further delay in finding a general manager for the black and white image.

   Fortunately, film companies are different from other types of companies. Many film companies in Xiangjiang are founded by filmmakers themselves.

   During this period, there were not many publicity activities, and the company's operations could be handled with just a few clerks.

  The most important thing for a film company is to be able to produce qualified films.

  Of course, when the company gets on the right track, Chu Huan will definitely improve the company's structure.

  Now that the black and white image is starting, Chu Huan can delegate all the rights to a movie to Hong Jinbao, but when the company grows bigger, this situation must be avoided.

   But at that time, Chu Huan may have already funded Hong Jinbao to create a subsidiary company of black and white images.

There is one thing that Golden Harvest did very well, that is, to give great respect to filmmakers, allowing them to establish their own film companies and participate in the operation of capital. It is precisely because of this that Golden Harvest was able to get Li Xiaolong one after another. A film giant like Xu Guanwen.

   Later, superstars such as Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were successively awarded.

  Since this policy has been confirmed by Jiahe, Chu Huan will naturally not let it go.

   Moreover, Hong Jinbao is also a person who likes to make troubles very much. He has left Golden Harvest many times to start a film company with others, but because of the lack of Golden Harvest's support, Hong Jinbao's movies can't continue to keep selling.

   This is also one of the reasons why Hong Jinbao was slowly caught up by his junior brother Cheng Long.

  Xiangjiang's work efficiency is very fast. After the discussion between Chu Huan and Hong Jinbao, Hong Jinbao immediately mobilized his own relationship and found the person in charge of the Shaw Brothers studio.

  The Shaw Brothers studio was originally on loan. After Hong Jinbao negotiated the price with the other party, he agreed to allow Hong Jinbao's crew to settle in the Shaw Brothers studio.

   The whole process took less than a day.

   Hong Jinbao took care of everything.

  The accident mentioned at the beginning also happened at this time.

   But the accident happened not on Hong Jinbao's studio, but when Chu Huan, accompanied by Hong Jinbao, came to visit the Shaw Brothers studio, he met an unexpected person.

  The other party is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face, and a suit with a bit of elegance.

  Chu Huan didn't know the other party, but after seeing the other party, Hong Jinbao immediately smiled, and even trotted all the way to the other party's side.

   "Director Li, haven't you been on Taiwan Island all this time? When did you come back?"

  The director Li also laughed when he saw Hong Jinbao, and said, "So it's Sanmao. It's been a while since you came back. I heard that you have changed to a film company and become a director yourself?"

  Hong Jinbao replied: "It's just luck, and the boss appreciates it."

   "This is not luck, Sanmao, you still have the ability, I believe you will be able to become a superstar in the future!" Director Li encouraged with a smile.

  Chu Huan stood aside, seeing that Hong Jinbao looked like a little boy, he knew that Director Li was not an ordinary person.

   "I need to learn more from Director Li in the future!" Hong Jinbao said modestly.

  After that, Hong Jinbao remembered Chu Huan who came with him, and hurriedly introduced him to Chu Huan.

   "Young Master Huan, this is Li Hanxiang, a well-known director in Xiangjiang, and "Beauty of the River and Mountain" is the work of Director Li!"

   Then Hong Jinbao introduced Chu Huandao to Li Hanxiang.

   "Director Li, this is the boss of our black and white image, Mr. Chu Huan."

  At this time, Chu Huan finally knew why Hong Jinbao respected each other so much. It turned out to be Li Hanxiang, one of the four directors of Xiangjiang in the 1960s and 1970s!

   There are many more, the next chapter is at 11 am~
