Chapter 487 Spending one million Hong Kong dollars to film "Journey to the West" in China!

When Tu Yingxiong came over, he didn't expect to see Huang Xizhao and Liang Shuyi here.

Tu Yingxiong first reported to his boss about Asia Film Company.

Because Asia Film was established, in addition to having large financial support, it also shared actors with Asia Television, and Asia Television had its own directors.

Directors like Tsui Hark, after the establishment of Asia Film Company, immediately prepared new film projects and started filming.

In the Hong Kong movie era.

Filmmaking in Xiangjiang is very fast. It can take as little as one week to get the script, to project approval, to finalization, and to theaters. The speed is very fast.

Tsui Hark and others had been itching for a long time. After learning that Asia Film Company was established and they had the opportunity to make movies, they immediately approached Tu Yingxiong. Tu Yingxiong knew the abilities of Tsui Hark and others, so naturally he had no objection.

However, the funds to invest in a movie are very low now.

In addition to the directors and actors of Asian TV making movies.

Tu Yingxiong actually found a group of suitable actors according to the mysterious list given by his boss.

There have been zombie movies for a long time in Hong Kong.

Yang Ming shook his head.

As Bruce Lee's former martial arts instructor, Lin Zhengying, after Bruce Lee's death, Hong Jinbao grew rapidly. After the establishment of the Hong Family Class, Lin Zhengying also joined the Hong Family Class and became one of them because there were no movies to make.

Especially the current Hongjiaban has not developed for a long time, and it is not like what it will be in the future.

"Yes, boss."

"Boss, is there anything else you can do?"

Historically, it was precisely because Lin Zhengying started to be the main actor in zombie movies that she completely made zombie movies popular.

Nowadays, Asia Television has been acquired by Empire Group, and its strength is already higher than that of TVB. It is impossible to say that Lin Zhengying does not want to be taken seriously and join Asia Television.

"That's right. I'm going to let Asia Television spend 1 million Hong Kong dollars to film "Journey to the West" which is one of the Four Great Classics."

Tu Yingxiong felt that since his boss felt that Lin Zhengying was suitable for making zombie movies, he immediately found a screenwriter to write a script.

"Boss, when I get back I'll have people start the project and choose good actors."

"Tu Yingxiong, you did a good job."

Nowadays, there are many talents from all walks of life in Hong Kong, especially the influx of talents from the mainland. These people also make a big difference in terms of film screenwriting, scripts, etc., which further promotes the development of Hong Kong movies.

Choosing at home?

Not only were the actors selected domestically, but even the directors were selected domestically.

"Don't let this matter spread out for the time being, otherwise TVB will definitely follow suit. After this time's great success, TVB will definitely follow suit. From now on, it will be difficult for TVB to surpass Asia Television. "

How did the boss come up with this?

The three of them admired their boss's ideas more and more.

1 million Hong Kong dollars?

This is definitely a lot of money.

It was the zombie movie that Yang Ming mentioned to Tu Yingxiong intentionally or unintentionally.

Huang Xizhao is still a little strange.

When Tu Yingxiong found Lin Zhengying and hoped that he would join Asia Film Company and focused on training him, Lin Zhengying was still a little embarrassed at first.

They don't know.

Liang Shuyi and Tu Yingxiong also left first.

Tu Yingxiong already knew about the Spring Festival Gala just now.

It's already 1980.

With the addition of these new actors, they have indeed become the focus of training. Basically, every Asian movie has their role.

It is mainly about Asia Television, involving singers and actors, from three companies, so the three companies need to work together.

In addition to Lin Zhengying, other actors including the Hong Family Class are very interested.

In this day and age, this amount of money can be used to make many movies.

"I don't care about the film company's affairs. I called you here this time about the Spring Festival Gala. The three of you have discussed this Spring Festival Gala, including the programs to participate in, the actors to participate, etc. This Spring Festival Gala will be done well.

, it will be held every year in the future and strive to be the program with the highest ratings in Hong Kong."

Aren’t there many directors and actors in Hong Kong?

Why does the boss want to choose from China?

"Do you know about the Four Great Classics?"

Judging from what Tu Yingxiong said, Tu Yingxiong is indeed very capable.

Tu Yingxiong is very well-known in the Hong Kong film and television industry, in addition to being one of the three giants of Asian TV.

"Yes, boss."

Before that, it had not been well-known.

When the three of them thought the boss had finished talking to them, Yang Ming asked Huang Xizhao to stay.

Among ancient novels, these four are indeed the most famous.

But now because of Yang Ming's joining, Xiangjiang Film Club is developing faster.

How could he have done this if it wasn't for Sir Yang's trust.

After all, he joined the Hong Jia Ban and had not really worked for the Hong Jia Ban yet, but now the general manager of the newly established Asia Film Company approached him.

At this time, the four major domestic masterpieces have not yet been truly determined.

He didn't expect that his boss actually wanted to use 1 million Hong Kong dollars to film a Journey to the West.

"Boss, among these movies, ten have been released, of which three have made a profit, four have neither made a profit nor lost money, and the remaining three have lost money. However, the copyrights of these movies have not been sold yet.

If we sell Wanwan and Nanyang, we should still be able to make a lot of profits by then."

Tu Yingxiong knew that if Huang Xizhao hadn't recommended him, he would have had no chance.

Although Hongjiaban is developing well, compared with the wealthy Asian film companies, it is certainly far behind.

In the era of capital, it is difficult to fight against personal power.

The emergence and speed of Asian film companies has frightened film companies such as Jiazhao.

Tu Yingxiong reported to his boss in detail there.

In the past two months, Asian Film Company has produced and released more than ten films, and there may be more than a dozen films currently being produced.

Yang Ming knew that Xiangjiang's movies were rapidly developing. Even without his participation, Xiangjiang's movies would still be developing rapidly.

In the end, Hong Jinbao could only look at Lin Zhengying, and even when Yuan Biao and others left, they were almost gone.

"Boss, are you talking about "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "A Dream of Red Mansions" or something else?"

"Thank you, General Manager Huang, for your recommendation and your boss's trust."

"This time I hope to select actors in China."

In fact, Asian film companies have even begun to tailor new movies for Lin Zhengying and others.

Yang Ming was deeply impressed by the 1982 version of Journey to the West he had seen in his previous life. In addition, this Journey to the West not only has very high ratings in China, but also has very high ratings in Asia, including Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries.

Except for this Journey to the West, the effects and ratings of those later filmed were much worse.

Historically, many directors have filmed Journey to the West in Xiangjiang, but the ratings were not high. Except for Xiangjiang's own people, Yang Ming later remembered searching on the Internet and found out that Sun Wukong was actually a monster in love. Yang Ming knew that Xiangjiang filmed it.

Journey to the West may be eye-catching.

This time Yang Ming is planning to let the mainland choose the director and actors for the film, not only because of the high ratings, but also to prepare for future cooperation with the mainland.
