99, Shaw Cinemas Transfer
Koji Fujita was very efficient. That night, he found a house for Zhao Yazhi in Tiaojingling. It was newly built. The owner rented the top floor, and the rent was 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a year.
After renting the house, Zhao Yazhi went to Shaw Brothers to buy out her contract early the next morning, and then moved to Jijingling.
In the afternoon, she arrived at the company to study the shooting work of [Sister Royal].
The crew was quickly formed. In this drama, Liu Dapao asked Yuan Kui to direct. Yuan Kui had joined Feitian Group for some time and had been waiting for an opportunity. Therefore, Liu Dapao asked him to direct, and he immediately agreed.
[The Royal Senior Sister] has many action scenes. Yuan Kui debuted as a martial artist, so he is naturally familiar with it.
Zhao Yazhi played the leading actress No. 1 without any surprises, and Liu Dapao, the Scottish policewoman in the play, also hopes that a kung fu girl can be starred, at least a dancer, and can make some good-looking moves.
In the original time and space, this character was starring Rolflo, but Rolflo had not made his debut in the entertainment industry yet and should still be learning martial arts.
It was impossible for Liu Dapao to go to inquire about her news, so the crew directly recruited one.
As for other supporting roles, Liu Dapao did not deliberately arrange the artists from the original time and space to play, but chose them from the company.
But things are so coincidental. As soon as the recruitment information was published on the newspaper, a girl came to the company for an interview, and she was officially Rolflo!
Although Rovro is not very beautiful, he has a very toned figure and is obviously a practice.
Therefore, she directly approved the job and joined the crew.
After the other actors were soon in place, [Sister Royal] officially started filming.
On the first day of shooting, Liu Dapao watched Zhao Yazhi on the spot, and she had many scenes. Her appearance completely subverted her previous image, with short hair and sportswear. If you don’t know, where did you know her as Zhao Yazhi?
In order to transform, Zhao Yazhi also fought hard, and this image was completely changed.
As the filming began, Zhao Yazhi's actions were quickly praised by director Yuan Kui. They were not only beautiful, but also in place, but their expressions were slightly exaggerated.
It can be seen that Zhao Yazhi has not completely changed from the role of the TV series and is slowly getting into the role. After some preaching, she gradually entered the role.
With such a good way to cover up all the ugly things, Zhao Yazhi's actions made up for her awkward acting skills.
Rolflo's characteristics are also somewhat similar. She is also excellent in movements and awkward in acting.
In contrast, the performances of other supporting roles are much more proficient.
After one day's shooting, the crew made a smooth progress. There was a period when someone came to settle the score.
Liu Dapao was still satisfied with the first day of shooting. After everyone left, he returned to the company alone with Yuan Kui and had a conversation.
The main purpose is to arrange the action scenes. Yuan Kui has strict requirements and every action must be in place.
Liu Dapao asked Yuan Kui to grasp the measure himself, as long as he ensured fluency.
As for Zhao Yazhi's Jeet Kune Do moves, Liu Dapao hopes that Yuan Kui can let him play, as long as he doesn't go out of the show, because Jeet Kune Do will be the main element that attracts the audience.
After hearing what Liu Dapao said, Yuan Kui understood.
"Village Chief, don't worry, I will integrate Jeet Kune Do's movements into the play. Miss Zhao's transformation is quite successful. When did she learn martial arts scenes? I'm very strange."
Yuan Kui said.
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "Sister Zhi is very talented, so it is normal to learn martial arts scenes. Okay, if you don't pursue fast this drama, you can grasp it yourself. It's okay to finish it in two months."
Previously, Feitian Film Studio's dramas were usually completed within one month, and even the [Fast Food Truck] did not exceed this deadline.
But for the first time Zhao Yazhi was filming such a scene, Liu Dapao was worried that her body could not stand it, so he could relax some periods.
The two were talking, and Lao Zeng came over.
"The village chief, [Plan a] has been released for 25 days and was removed from the shelves last night. The box office has already come out, with HK$73.6 million, which is much worse than [Police Story]."
Lao Zeng said.
Liu Dapao nodded and said, "As expected, we will make a VCD disc of [Plan A] immediately and sell it out. In addition, we will adjust the schedule and give way to [Mr. Zombie], and we must also promote it well. After all, it will be sold well, and we will also benefit."
[Plan a] It is quite good to be able to win such a box office. Although it has not broken the record again, Liu Dapao thinks it is okay. If each movie exceeds 100 million, can others still survive?
As for the reason, Liu Dapao guessed that there must be some problems with the action scenes, which made the audience feel aesthetically exhausted. However, being able to gain more than 70 million is considered a successful work.
Liu Dapao didn't have to do anything else, so he could only do his own good and try his best to do every work of Feitian Film.
Lao Zeng said: "Okay, I will arrange a theater chain right away, and the [Mr. Zombie] will be released tomorrow night. In addition, the [Plan a] celebration banquet, should the village chief attend? "
"No need, just play by yourself. Remember to give everyone in the crew a reward."
Liu Dapao is no longer interested in the celebration banquet now.
Lao Zeng continued: "Village Chief, there is a news that you may be interested in. Shaw Brothers Cinema is selling to the outside world. Should we follow up?"
"Is Shaw Cinema going to sell? Haha, it seems that they can't hold on. I originally thought they could support it for a year or two, but I didn't expect that they can't hold on now. I will go to Shaw Cinema immediately. Shaw Cinema must be won. If necessary, it's okay to pay a little price."
Liu Dapao said with a smile.
There is nothing to read about Shaw's works now, and there are no good works released within it. It is inevitable that Shaw Yifu's withdrawal will be made.
Liu Dapao then spoke to Shao Yifu on the phone.
"Uncle Six, I heard that Shaw Brothers Cinemas are going to be sold? If you want to sell it, then it might as well sell it to me directly. You can offer a price for how much."
Liu Dapao said directly.
Shaw Yifu said: "You are quite well-informed. However, if you want to acquire Shaw Pictures, you not only need to accept theaters, but also Shaw's movie inventory. The total value is more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Cannons, can you eat it?"
Shao Yifu is an old fox. He took advantage of the opportunity to sell the theater chain and actually wanted to sell all the movies that Shaw had stockpiled.
Liu Dapao thought for a while and said, "Uncle Six, let me look at the inventory before talking about it. If it works, I will naturally accept it. But if it is really rotten, I'm afraid you don't need to force it, right? Now that I can eat Shaw Brothers theaters, except me, I'm afraid they can't pay a high price. Uncle Six, let's meet tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
