Chapter 43: Specializing in the Corner "What do you think of this guy?" Zou Wenhuai chatted with Zhang Yi for a while, then left, entered a VIP private room, and asked He Guanchang next to him. He Guanchang naturally knew that the person Zou Wenhuai was referring to was Zhang Yi, and immediately said: "This boy is talented, young and mature, and his mind is extremely determined." Zou Wenhuai nodded. Zhang Yi became famous at the age of sixteen, and is as popular as some first-line stars. It's worse than anything else, but he is calm and calm. If his character is not firm, he is afraid that he will go up to the sky. "Do you think he will become Jiahe's strong rival?" Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked. He Guanchang glanced at Zou Wenhuai. The two had worked together for many years, and he naturally understood why Zou Wenhuai asked. He felt threatened by Zhang Yi and wanted to suppress him because he failed to recruit him. "The scripts written by this guy have extremely high commercial value. The cumulative box office of three movies in Hong Kong is nearly 100 million. As for the movies he makes, we will only know after his "Nightclub" is released. However, even if he opens a movie company, He doesn't have a theater network, so he's not a threat to Jiahe. Besides, he doesn't seem to be interested in starting a film company," He Guanchang said after thinking about it. "Shaw Brothers is no longer something that Zhang Yi can turn around, so if he goes to Shaw Brothers, he won't be a threat to Jiahe. But if he goes to Xinyi City, I'm afraid" Zou Wenhuai said, and now he has repeatedly recruited Zhang Yi. Being rejected, I felt resentful and worried. "Shao Yifu spent his energy on TVB, and Shaw Brothers gradually reduced production. With Zhang Yi's current situation, it should be impossible to join Shaw Brothers. Otherwise, he would not have written scripts for Sanmao and the others again and again. If he wanted to join Shaw Brothers, it is estimated that " After "Baby Zhi Duo Xing", I have already joined him. I haven't had much contact with him, but I can also feel that Zhang Yi doesn't like to be restrained. "As for Xinyi City, that's even more impossible." , when he wrote "Baby Smart Stars", the first person he approached was Xinyicheng. As a result, Xinyicheng thought he was too young, didn't read the script, and even humiliated Zhang Yi. I met Shi Tian. He threatened that they would regret it. "Haha! Xinyi City must have regretted it a long time ago. Wasn't it just that the two movies of "Baby Zhi Duo Xing" were overwhelmed. Are they dead? If they had read Zhang Yi's script at that time" Zou Wenhuai said, but couldn't continue. There is no doubt that if New Art City had read the script of "Baby Smart Stars", now the top four box office hits would have been occupied by New Art City. That was undoubtedly something Jiahe was unwilling to accept. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Jiahe was also among the film companies that rejected Zhang Yi. For this reason, Zou Daheng also copied the receptionist and stipulated that if someone submits a script in the future, no matter who comes, the script must be reviewed. ¡°I wonder if the people who invited New Art City will come this time?¡± He Guanchang said again. "Maybe? But Shi Tian probably won't come. I heard that the people in New Art City have a lot of opinions about him." Zou Daheng felt happy when he thought about this. "I guess the biggest problem with him is Boss Lei." He Guanchang also smiled and said. In inviting Xinyi City, Jiahe undoubtedly had the intention of demonstrating and disgusting. Zhang Yi's story has been a hot topic in the media, and the fact that he was rejected by more than a dozen film companies, large and small, for his film "Baby Wisdom" was naturally exposed. Although Jiahe is among the dozen or so film companies, it has now collaborated with Zhang Yi on two films, which has saved a lot of money. As for Xinyi City, it's even more tragic. One reason is that Zhang Yi was the first to find him, and the other reason is that the top management of Xinyi City directly rejected it. Being rejected by the reception staff below, it can also be said that those reception staff have limited skills and are ignorant of gold and jade. But as a senior executive of a film company, he actually refused something that was easily available to him. This slap was undoubtedly a bit harsh. The impact is also somewhat bad. Cheng Long and others seemed to understand the purpose of inviting people from Xinyi City, so when Xu Ke and Maijia came on behalf of Xinyi, Cheng Long directly led him to Zhang Yi and introduced him "kindly". Zhang Yi glanced at the two thin men in front of him, one with a bald head and the other with a beard. He naturally knows who is who. "It's a pleasure to meet you two. I didn't expect that Zhang Yi would also meet two big figures in the film industry. It's a great honor." Zhang Yi said with a smile. ¡°Both Xu Ke and Mecca are indeed relatively famous in the film industry at this time, and their status is not low. When it comes to being a big shot, I'm probably a little short of that. The only person who can truly be called a big shot, apart from Shao Daheng, is Zou Daheng. Even Lei Juekun, the boss of Xinyi City, is probably a bit worse than the previous two. After all, the first two started their careers in movies and are relatively more professional. Therefore, Zhang Yi, the "big man", is somewhat ironic. Whether it is MeccaIt was Xu Ke, who naturally heard the irony in Zhang Yi's words about the high threshold of Xinyi City. Mecca and Xu Ke looked at each other, smiling bitterly and feeling angry. Zhang Yi has not long been in the industry, but where are his achievements after all. Although he is only a screenwriter, which screenwriter can do what he does. "Haha! How can we be considered big shots? People like Mr. Zhang are big shots in the film industry. There are tens of millions of screenwriters, but not everyone can do it." Xu Xiao smiled and said. There are tens of millions of screenwriters, this is what the media gave Zhang Yi. The average box office of the three movies is over 30 million, and the commission is over 10 million, which is worthy of the name. "Haha, I didn't expect that the movie was so simple. I, a fifth-form student, could actually play with it." Zhang Yi smiled and said without humility. It was nothing more than a satire on what Shi Tian said to him. . "You'd better go back to school! Movies are not as simple as you think!" "I heard that a new movie will be released in New Art City soon. I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Yi smiled and then asked. When Mika and Xu Ke heard this, their expressions changed. It seemed that the guy opposite had a lot of opinions about Shi Tian. New Art City recently finished filming a movie, "Piecing the Corner", directed and starred by Shi Tian. The screenwriter and producer is Huang Baiming, and the producers are Shi Tianhe Majia. "I'm also looking forward to Mr. Zhang's movie!" Mecca narrowed his eyes and said immediately. Naturally, he heard from Zhang Yi's words that Zhang Yi meant to challenge him, so naturally he would not show weakness. "I heard that the movie is called "Prying the Corner"?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile. Zhang Yi knew that the box office of that movie was pretty good, over 10 million, and it ranked seventh in the box office rankings of 1983 in the parallel world. "Not bad!" Mecca said simply. "As the saying goes: As long as you use a hoe well, there is no corner that you can't pry! I wonder if the protagonist in the movie was born a farmer, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pry corners with a hoe?" Zhang Yi said, still smiling. As long as you play well with your hoe, there is no corner that you can't pry! Farmer? This girl seems to be mocking that guy Shi Tian? Xu Keke's gunpowder smell gradually became stronger, and then he said: "Haha, Mr. Zhang wants to know that when the premiere comes, you will be invited to attend." "Haha! Thank you very much. But I'm afraid I can't go, I The low-budget film that I wrote, directed, and invested in will also be released at that time! Of course, if you can participate, I will definitely welcome it! "The post-production of "Nightclub" is basically completed, and there is no need to spend any effort on promotion. This movie has long been hyped because of the scandal between Zhang Yi and Zhong Lianhong. As for the movie that Shi Tian directed and acted in Xinyi City, Zhang Yi learned about it from Fatty Wang. So, he was targeted. Because of the success of "Baby", "Nightclub" was well received in Shaw Brothers theaters. Originally, Shao Daheng wanted to compete with Jiahe's "Plan A". But Zhang Yi naturally wouldn't agree. After all, he also gets a share of the box office profits from "Plan A". No matter who wins or loses in a fight between the two films, Zhang Yi will lose. ????????? Shaw Brothers is in high spirits because of its "Baby" occupying the first and second place in the box office list. And I have full confidence in Zhang Yi's film. After all, with Zhang Yi's current popularity and the audience's expectations for this film, even if the film is rubbish, it won't be too bad no matter how bad it is. Since we can¡¯t defeat Jiahe, then we can defeat Xinyi City! This can be regarded as enemies on a narrow road, and Zhang Yi is also happy to see this.
