Zhao Chen didn't want to take risks, and he also combined with the connections he had, so he finally chose the low-cost movie "Happy Ghost".

He plans to write the script himself and invest in "Happy Ghost" in full so that he can earn enough money to pay the owed money. The other purpose is nothing more than to gain a reputation and accumulate connections. After all, even if Zhao Chen is genius, there are many things that he can't do. It is a headache to have no corresponding connections at that time.

In terms of existing connections, what Zhao Chen can use is Shao Yifu, Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and Wen Biyu!

For example, photographers, lighting engineers, assistant directors, recording teams, art teams, recording engineers, makeup artists and various shooting tools can be borrowed from Shaw Brothers and TVB. At this time, the connection between Shaw Yifu and Fang Yihua is needed. With the friendly relationship between the two parties, Zhao Chen only needs to pay a certain salary and rent to handle it.

Wang Tianlin needs help in the director's aspect. To be precise, it is his son Wang Jing. Wang Jing was still a screenwriter at this time, but due to his father Wang Tianlin, his director skills are not bad. The most important thing is that Zhao Chen knows that Wang Jing is best at directing in the future. As a campus comedy, "Happy Ghost" can be said to be very suitable for Wang Jing.

As for Wen Biyu, who starred in playing the heroine with the most roles, Wen Biyu's grades were not very good at this time. She only needed Zhao Chen to preach, and I believe she would succeed soon. As for the other two heroines and male protagonists, they only need to have better appearances. In this regard, Shaw Brothers and TVB have a lot of them. As long as you borrow it at that time, you don't need to spend much salary.

"Happy Ghost" was originally a 1984 movie. In that era, the cost was only one million Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Chen was a newcomer, both the starring and the director. It can be said that the cost can be reduced by a part of it, and it only takes hundreds of thousands to complete the shooting. As for the theater chains that will be released at that time, it will depend on Shao Yifu.

At this time, Shaw Brothers can be said to have begun to decline and was suppressed by Jiahe Film Company. If this continues, it will disappear like history without a few years. I think with the Shaw Brothers scene at this time, when "Happy Ghost" is finished, they may receive the support of Shaw Yifu.

Of course, it is too early to say that at this time, everything needs to be fully staffed.

After all, Zhao Chen has millions of assets, belongs to Xiangjiang celebrities, and has a certain status in the Xiangjiang screenwriter industry.

For Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, what Zhao Chen asked for was just a small matter, but because of the perverted ratings of "Shanghai Bund", he tended to invest in "Happy Ghost".

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chen felt that letting Shao Yifu invest was not a bad thing. As long as the film was completed, he would probably get greater support at Shaw Brothers Theater. At that time, the increased box office alone would be enough to make up for the gap in this area. It can be said that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so he handed the written script to Shao Yifu.

Shao Yifu has been working in movies for decades and his vision is naturally quite unique. After reading the script, he can see that "Happy Ghost" has the potential to sell well at the box office.

After discussion, the two sides finally decided to invest 500,000 yuan to obtain a 20% box office share in "Happy Ghost". Shao Yifu originally wanted to invest more to increase the box office share, but Zhao Chen refused to agree and finally maintained this share plan.

With Shao Daheng's investment and permission, Zhao Chen basically didn't need any expenses, and it was a standard no-price transaction. It was through this relationship that Zhao Chen successfully convinced Wang Tianlin and asked his son Wang Jing to be the director of "Happy Ghost".

Wang Jing never expected someone to invite him to be the director. This was something he never dreamed of, so he naturally agreed. Even if he was shooting a floppy movie, he didn't care. Not to mention that the script given by Zhao Chen seemed quite exciting to him.

As for the male lead, Zhao Chen finally used his familiar Zhou Runfa. Zhou Runfa became famous after starring in "Shanghai Band". Although his pay rose, he was still an actor in the TV series. This directly led to Zhao Chen only using 30,000 yuan to invite Zhou Runfa.

The other two heroines are even simpler. Zhao Chen doesn’t need them to have superb acting skills. As long as they look beautiful, they just need to find two vases. Of course, it’s best to need some acting skills. Zhao Chen just went to the wireless training class and looked for two vase actresses with some acting skills.

Everything was ready, and the next step was filming. Although Wang Jing was just a rookie director at this time, his experience was not bad. But just in case, Zhao Chen still borrowed two experienced assistant directors from Shaw Brothers to assist Wang Jing.

On the eve of the filming of "Happy Ghost", Tianxia Comics Company launched "Girls Weekly" with the Heat of "Football Player".

This can be said to be the first girl comic magazine in Xiangjiang. It can be said that what it opens is a huge market hidden in Xiangjiang.

"Girls Weekly" only includes a girl comic like "Sailor Moon". It is really impossible for Zhao Chen to find a cartoonist who can draw girl comics.

Although "Girls Weekly" is a new comic publication, since "Sailor Moon" was created by Zhao Chen, some Zhao Chen's comic fans can be said to have responded, and they plan to buy a book after "Girls Weekly" is released. They believe that Zhao Chen will not disappoint them.

But "Girls Weekly" serializes girl comics, which leads to Zhao Chen's advantages being unable to be fully utilized. After all, Zhao Chen's actions have been serialized by three comics, and many comic fans can use limited money, especially those students.

"Girls Weekly" was released on Sunday. The reason why it was released on weekends is mainly because "Girls Weekly" and "Tianxia Weekly" have a huge advantage, that is, there is almost no need to compete with other comic magazines.

Sunday is a weekend, and many comic magazines will be published at this time, including Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate". But even Huang Yulang regards Zhao Chen as his opponent, a sense of powerlessness emerges in front of "Girls Weekly", because the nature of the two is different from the reader group.

Of course, the reason why "Girls Weekly" was published on Sunday is mainly to consider the female readership group. After all, the female readership group has not been developed yet. If you want to develop this hidden readership group as soon as possible, weekends are the best choice.

On the day when "Girls Weekly" was released, many Zhao Chen's comic fans were away from the bookstore or book stall early in the morning, wanting to see Zhao Chen's new comics as soon as possible. Among them, there are few female readers, many of these female readers are comic fans of "Football Player", but there are also some things that I want to witness Zhao Chen's girl comics when I hear the news. After all, Zhao Chen's fame is there.

At Tseung Kwan O Yaxuan Bookstore, Zhao Chen arrived at the door early in the morning, of course he was indispensable to bringing a pair of sunglasses. Now he is a celebrity in Hong Kong and has many comic fans. If he is recognized, a small number will have some trouble.

"I don't know if it can succeed!"

Zhao Chen has no idea whether "Sailor Moon" can activate the female readership. In fact, few female readers in Xiangjiang read comics, so he will observe them personally.

The fat boss came very early this time, and he really had to get up early for business because he knew that another new comic by Zhao Chen would be released today.

Although it is an unprecedented girl comic magazine in Xiangjiang, the fat boss read it after he delivered it last night. When he saw that the painting style of "Sailor Moon" was delicate, the fat boss was shocked at that time. He did not expect that Zhao Chen, who has always been known for his tough comics, would suddenly change his style and draw delicate girl comics.

Today's girl comics have not become popular even in island countries. After all, the base of the reader group is there, and most of the people who read comics are teenagers. It can be seen from the fact that "The Man of Flowers", which has the highest cumulative sales of single-line books in Girl comics, only sold more than 50 million copies. This is also a big gap compared to those classic comics that often exceed 100 million.

But among them, I have to talk about another thing. Those works sold over 100 million yuan are basically delayed, and at least it takes several years to complete the book, and it has existed for more than ten years or even decades, such as the painful book "This is the former police station in Katsushika District Katsushika City Katsuki Park"!

The length of the girl comic is relatively short. It is just a classic girl comic like the American War. It only has two hundred episodes, and the single-line version released is only 18 volumes. Even if Zhao Chen does not delete a small part of the plot, it will only take less than two years to complete. It can be said that the American War can only be regarded as a novella comic.
Chapter completed!
