Chapter 17 Secret Joy

That's right. After listening to Li Jie's question, Cai Zhiliang felt that this was the real "A Better Tomorrow" and the "A Better Tomorrow" in his memory. But Li Jie didn't think so. After all, when he invested with

Just imagine, the movie is running wildly on the street.

Although Zhang Guorong has appeared in some movies and TV series, they are far from comparable to his achievements in the field of music.

In 1983, he released the album "The Wind Keeps Blow", and the Cantonese title song "The Wind Keeps Blow" with the same name became one of the most popular songs in Hong Kong. The following year, he released the album "Leslie", and its local sales in Hong Kong exceeded four platinums.

, established Leslie Cheung’s status as a superstar in the music industry in one fell swoop. Last year, he held ten consecutive solo concerts at the Coliseum, breaking the record for the number of first-time concerts held by a Hong Kong singer.

Since this year, the Hong Kong music scene has begun to compete for supremacy between Tan and Zhang.

It is precisely because of Zhang Guorong's influence that he has become the biggest selling point of this "A Better Tomorrow". The reduction of his role is simply another cut of the flesh of investors.

As for the candidate for Brother Ma, Cai Zhiliang naturally knew it, but he still asked cooperatively: "Who is it?"

"It's Zhou Runfa." Li Jie looked like he was filled with sorrow rather than concern.

At this time, Chow Yun-fat has not yet become popular. On the contrary, he is still known as box office poison. In this era when the box office champion in Hong Kong has exceeded 30 million, Chow Yun Fat has not yet had a movie with a box office of over 10 million, which is different from his popularity in Hong Kong.

The status really doesn’t match.

Peng Cheng asked curiously: "Since you think Zhou Runfa is not good, why do you still invest?"

Li Jie was a little confused and said: "The original actor said it was because of the schedule, so he resigned directly. It was obvious that he didn't like this movie. Besides, it's not like there is no one left. Director Wu somehow chose Zhou Runfa and kept adding more

Drama. If this were in Taiwan, I would definitely..."

"Then it's not a case of divestment, and it doesn't necessarily mean losing money." Cai Zhiliang was a little curious. If he had withdrawn his investment, why did he wait until now?

"Let's talk about Chow Yun-fat's movies. There are two of them in theaters right now. One is "The Story of a Rose". It has been in theaters for two weeks and is worth five million. It is estimated that it will only be six or seven million when it is released.

There is a movie called "Romania", which has been released for a week and cost more than 2 million yuan. The cost of "A Better Tomorrow" is already more than 4 million yuan. Do you think it can avoid losing money?" Li Jie said seriously, comparing it to the movie starring Zhou Runfa.

box office.

At that time, Cai Zhiliang wanted to ask if there was any comparability between the two? It is estimated that some actors resigned first, and the cost was rising again, which shocked Li Jie.

"How much did you invest?" This is the question that material material Cai Zhiliang is concerned about.

"Fifty percent, more than two million." Li Jie looked at Cai Zhiliang and asked, "What, Ah Liang, do you want to invest?"

"What I plan to invest in is a literary film directed by Xu Ke. How about we change it? There should be a market for literary films like "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan," Cai Zhiliang suggested.

"Do you think "A Better Tomorrow" can make money?" When Li Jie heard that Cai Zhiliang wanted to invest, he immediately worried about the gains and losses, and was undecided for a while.

Cai Zhiliang certainly had his own plans, saying: "It's better than "Dao Ma Dan" after all."

"That's it?" Li Jie looked at Cai Zhiliang suspiciously. Such a lame reason was not enough to justify investment.

"It's my first time to invest in a movie, as long as I don't lose money. The key is to master the production process of a movie. Furthermore, it is to have a good relationship with Director Xu. I have established a new movie company. When I make movies in the future, the two companies can

Mutual benefit. Otherwise, I would go directly to the stock market, so why bother investing here." Cai Zhiliang said sincerely.

"I'll think about it again." Li Jie did not reply affirmatively.

"A Liang, when did you arrive? I've been looking outside for a long time..." At this moment, Zhao Shuo finally arrived and complained as he came in.

"Sorry, I just met a friend. Let me introduce you..." Cai Zhiliang introduced Zhao Shuo and Li Jie.

As a result, after the two met, Zhao Shuo's first words were: "Pretty boy, you probably won't make any money this time."

Cai Zhiliang was stunned for a moment. He felt that Zhao Shuo's words were really a blessing and would break Li Jie's heart with a professional's perspective. He immediately asked: "Do you know this movie?"

"When I came last week, Zhou Runfa had just joined the crew. I felt that the box office might not be as good as "Dao Ma Dan", so I didn't mention it to you." Zhao Shuo looked like he was smart, but he didn't know that Cai Zhiliang's mentality had already been there for a long time.

Started to curse.

Cai Zhiliang decided to retreat instead of advancing, and said: "It's getting late, let's go meet Director Xu and Ms. Shi first. Ajie, do you want to come with us?"

"Let's get together." Li Jie also stood up and said, "Can you tell me about "Daoma Dan"?"

"Of course, Lao Zhang, let Jie Zai read the plot of "Dao Ma Dan"." Cai Zhiliang felt a little excited that his conspiracy had succeeded.

Zhao Shuo just thought that Li Jie was interested in "Dao Ma Dan" and could share the cost and risk. Who would have thought that Cai Zhiliang was planning to invest in "A Better Tomorrow".

When Cai Zhiliang, Li Jie, Peng Cheng and Zhao Shuo went to see Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, Shi Nansheng was talking to Lin Qingxia about them in the office.

Back in time.

"Sister Nansheng..." Lin Qingxia had a relatively good relationship with Xu Ke and his wife, and they had a smooth journey and walked directly into their office.

"Qingxia, sit down wherever you want..." Shi Nansheng looked up and saw Lin Qingxia, greeted her, and then began to look through the documents on the table.

Lin Qingxia took off her hat, revealing her charming and heroic face, and then sat on the sofa nearby. As the dress tightened, she showed her graceful figure with a curved front and back.

"I heard that your master is still looking for someone to invest?" Lin Qingxia asked casually.

"You are quite well informed. Has anyone contacted you?" Shi Nansheng's words undoubtedly confirmed what Cai Zhiliang said before.

Lin Qingxia explained: "Not yet. I just met a handsome guy named Cai Zhiliang on the road. He said he was here to discuss investment."

Although she became popular ten years ago, they were all literary and artistic films, while Hong Kong City is mainly commercial films, so Lin Qingxia's development in Hong Kong City has not been smooth in recent years. She previously collaborated with Xu Ke on the filming of "New Shushan Swordsman",

With a big cast of 20 million, it was a complete mess.

"Cai..." Shi Nansheng frowned, obviously not impressed by Cai Zhiliang.

"He said he was introduced by Zhao Shuo." Lin Qingxia reminded.

Hearing the name Zhao Shuo, Shi Nansheng felt relieved and said: "A Shuo came here once last week and said he was here to discuss investment matters today. I thought they weren't coming. Where did you meet them?"

Lin Qingxia then recounted how she had just met Cai Zhiliang, except that Cai Zhiliang invited her to play the role of Cao Yun.

"They will probably arrive soon."

But Shi Nansheng's focus was obviously not here, and he asked: "You just said, that Cai..."

"Cai Zhiliang." Lin Qingxia confirmed someone's name again.
