Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 33 Newspaper Story

The final filming of the crew went very smoothly. After all, the subsequent parts were just some old routines, just a few people fighting in the back mountain. After Chen Long spent 3,000 yuan on film, he successfully completed the filming of the salmon ladder. Although it was not perfect, it was done step by step and looked very real.

After the filming was completed, Yuan Heping took Xu Zhi to an industrial building in Hung Hom, Kowloon. This was the cutting room of Yuan Heping's friend.

After the filming of the film was completed, we basically completed 90 meters of the 100-meter sprint, but everyone knows that the most likely problem is the last ten meters, because the running is slow in the front, and you can still work harder until the last ten meters. , if it fails, it fails.

After taking out all the negatives, Yuan Heping and Xu Zhi both gasped from exhaustion. The film reel is very heavy, about ten kilograms per film, and Drunken Master shot six reels in total.

"Only 6 plates?" The visitor looked at the box and noticed a strange smell.

Yuan Heping replied: "Yes, there are only 6 sets. Our plot was decided before filming. Lao Fang, we can't make mistakes in this film."

Lao Fang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it's your first debut, so there won't be any problems."

Yuan Heping shouted: "Go away and talk nicely. This is my boss Xu Sheng."

Lao Fang shook hands quickly and said: "Just call me Lao Fang. I heard that you wrote Kunlun?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Lao Fang said: "Then why did you write Liang Wenjing to death! I like him the most. Even if you want to write a story about his son, just kick him off the cliff."

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Then what does it say next, that Liang Wenjing obtained the unparalleled magical power under the cliff?"

Lao Fang waved his hand: "You are a writer, you have the final say on how you write."

Yuan Heping interrupted: "Okay, let's talk about the small talk later, finish the work first."

"Okay, help me carry it in." Lao Fang quickly directed the two of them, and together they put the films in the two boxes in.

Different from the digital age, a reel of film in this era is a disposable item and extremely expensive. To put it simply, although Xiangjiang Film continues to export RB, almost all the film is purchased from RB. Really In total, it is difficult to say clearly whether Xiangjiang and RB have a surplus or a deficit in the film industry alone.

When the film is being shot, it will be re-shot in many cases. For example, if you forget the words, say the wrong words, the movements are not in place, and the scenery is not shot well, even if the producer can save things to a certain extent, there will definitely be N times of NG, but it is impossible to change the film reel after NG. We will continue to shoot, so that the really necessary plots will be mixed with a bunch of wrong plots.

After the filming is completed, all the plots need to be completed by the editor. Of course, some plot choices will also remove a lot of film. There may even be situations where the plot is wrong only to be discovered after editing and then re-shooted.

In this aspect, Drunken Master is relatively simple. Except for many NG shots, most of the plot does not require selection, because the entire filming is based on the script step by step. Even Yuan Heping does not have the right to modify the plot.

However, cutting requires a very careful wage, and slow work produces fine work. Only fools think that quality and speed can be achieved at the same time.

It took three days, with the assistance of Xu Zhi and Yuan Heping, to finally complete the original version of Drunken Master.

Everything after that was simple. I spent a fortune and made several copies of the film. Everything was almost done. I just had to wait for the film to be released in the middle of the month.

The sky in the south changes as fast as a woman's face. The sun is still shining brightly in the morning, but by noon it is covered with dark clouds, thunder rolls, and heavy rain pours down.

Fortunately, the taxi driver drove the car to the underground parking lot and Xu Zhi avoided becoming a drowned rat.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Wenzhou was thinking about something at the newspaper when he was startled by Xu Zhi and replied: "It's nothing. The company's cash flow has been a little tight recently, so I'm just a little worried."

Xu Zhi asked: "What's wrong? Aren't newspaper sales pretty good?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "It's just because it's good that I'm worried. Now the cost of newspapers alone is close to 20,000 yuan a day, not to mention the purchase of various office equipment and personnel salaries."

Xu Zhidao: "Can't you get back the money from the newspaper?"

Lin Wenzhou nodded and said: "Yes, we don't have the ability to distribute by ourselves, so we handed over all distribution to a company. But we agreed at the beginning that it would be done once a week, but now it has been more than ten days, and I have been asked several times on the phone, but still no one act dumb."

Xu Zhi asked: "Didn't your Huixing Daily publish it yourself before?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, but Huixing's coverage area at that time was small, mainly in the central area of ​​Kowloon, so we could basically handle it ourselves. But now Jiahe Daily is sold throughout Hong Kong, so we can only entrust others."

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Can't you go to court?"

Lin Wenzhou shook his head and said: "No, this is the largest newspaper distribution company in Hong Kong. It almost monopolizes this industry. Not to mention how long it will take to file a lawsuit. Even if the money is to be returned, it is not worthwhile if we lose the channel."

Xu Zhidao: "Can you please ask Zou Wenhuai to come forward? He should be able to solve this matter."

Lin Wenzhou sighed: "Impossible, this matter is not that simple. Just by looking at the name of our newspaper, you know the relationship with Zou Wenhuai, but now you are being targeted as well. Why do you think it is?"

Xu Zhidao: "You mean several other major newspapers?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, Zou Sheng should also know about this situation. It may not only be several major newspapers, but also people from other industries may be involved. They are not just targeting our newspaper!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I understand, but it is impossible for them to win over Zou Wenhuai with this approach. With Zou Wenhuai's financial resources, it is probably not difficult to set up a distribution channel by himself!"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, that's the situation. When I used to run a small newspaper in Huixing, I guess these predators didn't pay attention at all. If this kind of trick was aimed at ordinary people, it would probably kill a newly growing family." newspaper office."

Xu Zhidao: "It is not so easy to start a business, especially when there is a huge threat to traditional companies. How many newspapers are sold now?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "About 40,000 to 50,000 a day. Fortunately, sales have been good recently. Some companies have come to advertise, and some funds have returned."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "The results are quite good. No wonder those people want to suppress our newspaper. Then Zou Sheng should also know about this! What is he going to do?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Zou Sheng has already planned to build a small transportation company by himself to publish our newspapers. No matter how influential those people are, they can at most control the transportation channels. It is impossible for all newsstands not to sell our newspapers. As long as they are We have our own channels, so we don’t have to worry about stabbing people in the back.”

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "This is another large amount of money!"

Lin Wenzhou said: "I have talked with Zou Sheng. In fact, a larger newspaper needs to have its own distribution channel. This is the case for Mingpao Oriental Daily. Because of the joint venture nature of our newspaper, he knows that you will definitely not agree to build this channel, so he will Set up a company by yourself first.”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, as long as the channel is established, you don't have to worry about being stuck."

"Yes, the channel has been established. If the money cannot be recovered, we will immediately go to court." Lin Wenzhou asked again: "By the way, how was the filming of your movie?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's basically over. I'm just waiting for it to be released in a few days."

Lin Wenzhou smiled and said: "Then first I would like to congratulate Xu Sheng on the success of his film."
