Chapter 338
"Ah——Mr. Luobin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the company was delayed because it was late. I'm really sorry." Huang Yulang apologized as soon as he entered the Wenhua Oriental cafe, and said with an apology.
"Haha, Mr. Huang is polite, don't care." Teddy Robin waved his hand casually and continued to smile: "I've arrived just now. Besides, one minute has passed since the agreed time, so it's not that late."
Huang Yulang sat down and replied, "Anyway, since it was Mr. Luobin I made an appointment with, and the host came later than the guest, even if he was late, I must say this apology."
"This..." Teddy Robin was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "Why should Mr. Huang be so polite?"
"It should be!"
Huang Yulang was polite with a shy face, but after he ordered the waiter to serve a cup of coffee, both of them skipped the link tacitly, and both sides began to have a detailed conversation.
"Mr. Huang's Wen Shaolun is very good, and he has the potential to be an actor." Teddy Robin sipped a sip of tea and said first without saying anything.
"Haha, that kid is a talent, but he was too bored before." Huang Yulang waved his head proudly and continued, "But he is my right-hand man, I can't bear to let him go to make a movie. By the way, Mr. Luobin, "I Will" should be almost finished, right?"
"Forehead……"
Teddy Robin's face turned slightly, and then he forced a smile and said, "It should be soon. Our boss Mai has been staring at this matter. Mr. Huang, please don't worry."
Huang Yulang obviously also heard the depression in Teddy Robin's words, and pretended to be careless and asked again: "That's right. You all have talents in New Art City who play movies. What's wrong with me? I heard that Mr. Mai went through a lot of trouble for this movie and personally went to find a little beauty known as the "Ice Skating Queen" to play the heroine. Thank you so much for everyone."
"Not bitter or not, I have to suffer..." Teddy Robin grinned and said, "It will be a pain for Boss Mai to suffer alone. Then Mr. Huang just thanks Boss Mai directly. By the way, Mr. Huang, you made an appointment with me here today. What's wrong?"
This time, Huang Yulang suddenly made a secret appointment to meet at Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Teddy Robin felt something was wrong first. The base camps of New Art City and Yulang International are both in Kowloon, but why did Huang Yulang ask him to meet him across the sea and meet on Hong Kong Island? Isn’t it the end to meet and have tea at the Peninsula Hotel?
If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Teddy Robin is worried on the way, but he seems to have scratched something in a vague way, which makes him feel itchy.
Now that he had been tangling with Huang Yulang for a long time, he had been impatient for a long time, so he simply asked directly.
"hehe--"
After hearing Teddy Robin's words, Huang Yulang was not surprised at all. Instead, he chuckled and asked slowly: "Don't you know Mr. Luobin, do you know Boss Cai Songlin, who knows Taiwan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Yulang saw Teddy Luobin's face and asked solemnly: "Scholar?"
"Not bad!" Huang Yulang nodded neatly and said, "Boss Cai sees the Hong Kong movie market very much. He and I have some spare money now, so Boss Cai and I want to play movies."
“…”
As soon as these words were said, the vague guess in Teddy Robin's heart turned into reality. Only Teddy Robin swallowed and murmured: "Boss Huang means, do you want to find me to do it?"
"Not bad!" Huang Yulang responded with the corner of his mouth.
Today's meeting is five years after Yulang International's first movie "Dragon and Tiger Gate", and Huang Yulang once again released his ambitions for movies. And this big step he took in film obviously starts with digging the corners of Xinyi City.
Among the only four remaining big bosses in Xinyi City, three are major shareholders. So the best and most capable one is Teddy Robin, who has no equity at all. Anyway, Debao has dug Xu Ke and his wife without bloodshed, and it is not necessary for him to stab him Huang Yulang again!
In fact, in normal history, Huang Yulang also returned to the film industry at this time, and made a movie "Walking the Wrong Yin and Yang Road". Then, after tasting the sweetness, he would set his sights on Xinyi City, which has gradually shown a sign of disintegration, and began his poaching action next year.
However, Li Xuan's butterfly flapped his wings a little faster, which began the golden age of Hong Kong movies in advance, and also greatly advanced the influx of a large amount of hot money in Taiwan.
This early internal conflict between having money and Xinyi City made Huang Yulang's ambition explode more than a year earlier.
Don’t look at Teddy Robin, short and thin, and has been under the three giants of New Art City in New Art City. In fact, he is also an all-round talent who can direct, act, write, supervise, produce, and compose music. Moreover, his administrative abilities are also very good. Teddy Robin never lets Zhucheng lose money when he was a manager of Liang Li Shaoxia’s Zhucheng Film and Television.
As for why Teddy? Robin did a good job at Zhucheng Pictures, but in the end he would go to Xinyi City to film. All of this was Xu Ke's credit.
Zhucheng Film, like Ye Zhiming's Binbian, was the rise of New Wave movies. Teddy Robin of course met Xu Ke, the representative figure of New Wave, and the two became good friends. After Xu Ke later made a good job in New Art City, he pulled Teddy Robin over.
His grandmother! Thinking of this, Teddy Robin cursed in his heart. Xu Ke and his wife walked easily and left him alone in Xinyi City to suffer.
Suffer? That's right, it's suffering!
At this time, there was a deep conflict between Teddy Robin and the three giants of New Art City. The root cause of this contradiction starts with the disagreement of the concept of several people making movies.
As mentioned in the previous article, the three bigwigs in New Art City almost all filmed for the purpose of making money, so most of the movies they produced were comedy, and rarely involved art and tragic films with connotation.
On the other hand, Teddy Robin, he was from Zhucheng Film, such as "Pointing the Bingbing", "Mountain Dog", "Savior", etc., but they are all representative works of New Wave, so there is no comedy that makes a lot of money.
As an authentic filmmaker, Teddy Robin is not satisfied with only filming comedy without connotation.
After this concept was not in line with each other, they began to have a quarrel between Mai Jia, who was in the eyes of money, and Teddy Robin, who wanted to make art films, had already had a secret fight several times.
For example, two months ago, "The British Pipa" produced by Teddy Robin was released on Princess Jin, but it ended up getting a box office of more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a year ago. This outstanding result is already very good among Hong Kong film companies.
But what did Mai Jia say about the box office results?
"Haha, it's only more than 10 million, so what kind of blockbuster movies are there?"
Teddy Robin was almost angry with this sentence. Boss Mai, Brother Mai, this is an art film. Can the box office be compared with the comedy films you made? How many art films in Hong Kong can have a box office of over 10 million now? Don’t talk about the box office at all?
The two of them were almost quarreling, and the more they were quarreling. Now it was Mai Jia who asked Teddy Robin to not film the scenes that Teddy Robin wanted to film, but Mai Jia, the big boss, refused to agree to the scenes that Teddy Robin wanted. After the two of them had almost turned upside down, Mai Jia would barely nod and agreed to Teddy Robin's scenes.
In later generations, Xu Ke was used as lubricant and coordinated between the two sides. Later, Xu Ke went out to open a studio by himself, and Zeng Zhiwei took over the baton to comfort him, so that the two of them were always in peace on the surface.
However, when Zeng Zhiwei was poached by Huang Yulang and asked if Teddy Robin was going to join the new film company, Teddy Robin, who knew that he could no longer stay in the New Art City, simply followed Zeng Zhiwei and ran away.
In this time and space, Xu Ke has long left Xinyi City. Zeng Zhiwei has never been to Xinyi City. The remaining Huang Baiming and Shi Tian are not a talent to coordinate internally.
At this time, Teddy Robin had long been thinking about not working in Xinyi City!
So when all these grudges and entanglements were not clear about their future, Li Xuan received two red invitations that surprised him ten days later.
One of the invitations was naturally a red post sent by Shaw Brothers’ current backbone Zhang Jianting and Chen You, who established Eryou Film Company; as for the other invitation, it was Teddy Robin, the fourth big boss of New Art City, who was accompanied by New Wave director Yu Qitai, and jointly opened a good friend film company.
Looking at these two invitations, Li Xuan knew that Shaw Brothers and New Art City were going to be in chaos... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
