MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 370
Since the 1980s, the Hong Kong Island film and television industry has had the term "Big Three", referring to three of them: Wu Mengda, Zhou Runfa and Fang Long.
The three of them became famous at about the same time, and their status was not much different.
However, with the development of time, with the support of the huge capital and channels of Su's film industry, the development of Wu Mengda and Zhou Runfa is much better than his.
Wu Mengda is the leading actor of the popular sci-fi action blockbuster.
Then Zhou Runfa is also a generalist with excellent acting skills. With the strong resources of Su's film industry, at least two movies are made every year, and the annual box office performance is completely worse than that of Wu Mengda.
Only Fang Long has an embarrassing position!
There is a slight gap between the upward and the two, and the downward has to face the pursuit of a group of newcomers.
Among them, the one with the strongest momentum is the people from Su's Films!
The guy from the mainland named Li Jie, the champion of action martial arts, has much stronger kung fu skills than Fang Long. Although it is not the same action style, it is also an action movie, and the threat of Fang Long is still great.
Then there are Zhou Xingxing and Liu Dehua!
But what really made Fang Long unacceptable was the rise of another person.
Carrie Lam!
A few years ago, this guy was just a dragon and tiger martial artist. He mixed with Fang Long and his brothers, often filming and drinking together.
In the movie, he still played some minor supporting roles and was the villain who was beaten by Fang Long.
But for some reason, this guy had a bad luck and was favored by Su's Films.
Job hopping!
At that time, when Lin Zhengying left, he was scolded by Fang Long and his fellow apprentices for a long time, traitor, traitor, etc.
As far as his appearance is concerned, he can't play the leading role when he goes to Su's film industry.
But I didn't expect that Lin Zhengying would be assigned the lead role in a movie soon after going to Su's Films!
But fortunately, it is the male protagonist of a trash movie.
"Zombie movies? Old-fashioned stuff from many years ago, it's all been filmed badly, and the audience has long disliked it, so it must be thrown into the street."
Fang Long and his fellow apprentices laughed like that at the time.
But when the movie was released and the box office results came out, they were dumbfounded.
It even took more than 32 million box office, which was higher than Fang Long's own movie box office.
Is a trash zombie movie even more popular than Fang Long's action comedy?
Slap in the face, hot and sour.
It made Fang Long suddenly feel like a clown.
At the same time, he also had a grudge against Lin Zhengying in his heart, so he was about to burn incense and worship the Buddha to let this guy go down the street.
But after that, Lin Zhengying seemed to be on the hook, one zombie movie after another, and the box office was very good.
Carrie Lam has also sorted out the hottest stars on Hong Kong Island. Although it is limited to the type of zombie movies, in terms of card positions, Fang Long is not too bad.
A traitor caught up by a sidekick who was despised by him back then, this is what makes Fang Long the most uncomfortable.
But now, Fang Long has the idea of being a traitor and quitting the Su family.
"I have ideals too? I want to go to Hollywood too?"
"I heard that Zhou Runfa and Wu Mengda were called by Chen Fangsheng today, and they were very happy when they left."
"There must be some news, maybe it won't be long before I can go to Hollywood." Fang Long said to himself.
At the same time, both of them were ready to go to Hollywood, but he was still hanging out on Hong Kong Island.
In the past, Fang Long didn't sprint to Hollywood, but Jiahe was really incompetent!
There is no channel to negotiate fair cooperation with Hollywood film companies. Even if Fang Long’s films went to Hollywood, they were bought out at low prices, and after two weeks of screening in a few cinemas, they were immediately taken off the shelves and sold instead. videotape.
After a few times, Fang Long did not make a name for himself, but was rather disheartened.
He was hit by reality, and he had already extinguished the idea of going to Hollywood, but with the acquisition of Universal Pictures by Galaxy Group, Fang Long began to be restless.
"If I join Su's Films on the condition that I go to Hollywood, will they agree?"
"It should be!"
Fang Long said to himself, as if he was giving himself confidence and helping him make a decision.
He is an action movie superstar on Hong Kong Island. He can create tens of millions of box office results for the company every year. There is no reason for Su's film industry to reject him.
With itself, Su's Films can truly say that it is the leader in the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island.
And all he wanted was a chance to go to Hollywood.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Fang Long, who was stunned and fantasized by herself, but she said, "But your contract is still in Jiahe, and the liquidated damages are nearly 50 million. Su's Pictures may not be willing to pay such a large sum for you. money."
Fang Long shook his head gently: "This is not a problem, the contract will expire in more than a year, and it is fine not to renew the contract with the company at that time."
"I can afford to wait a year."
"But in that case, you will bear the infamy of being a traitor. After all, Jiahe has nothing to regret you."
"Besides, the Su Clan's film industry is full of talented people. Even if you go, you will definitely be overwhelmed by Wu Mengda and Zhou Runfa." Lin Jiaojiao said.
Fang Long nodded tangled, this was indeed a problem.
In Jiahe, he is the center of gravity of the entire company, the absolute pillar, and all the shooting plans are carried out around him.
But when he went to Su Clan Films, he would never have such a position.
And reputation is something he has to consider.
After all, when he was a young actor, Jiahe discovered him, and the big boss Zhou Wenhuai boldly promoted him.
The second boss, He Guanchang, is still his godfather!
Do you want him to betray the king and kill his father?
"Of course, going to Su's Films will be better for your future development. There will definitely be no shortage of opportunities to go to Hollywood in the future."
"How to choose, I can't help you." Lin Jiao said softly, then wrapped in a bath towel and walked into the bedroom.
Leaving Fang Long sitting alone on the sofa and thinking: "I still have to consider it carefully."
"Are you saying that Fang Long wants to change jobs to Su's Films?" Su Shaoze couldn't hold back his hand while flipping through the documents, and then looked down at Lin Jiaojiao who was kneeling under his desk.
"Well, this is what Fang Long told me last night."
"Drinking a lot of wine, I'm in a bad mood. I want to have the same opportunity to enter Hollywood as Wu Mengda and the others. I'm also worried that I won't be valued in Su's film industry, and Jiahe 170 and his brothers and sisters, he also wants to consider."
"Anyway, he is worried and undecided." Lin Jiaojiao nodded and said.
As for why she appeared in Su Shaoze's office? He also told Su Shaoze what Fang Long thought?
It was said that when Lin Jiaojiao got involved with Su Shaoze, it was completely forced by Su Shaoze.
But later, with the gradual contact, Lin Jiaojiao felt that Su Shaoze was a really powerful man.
Especially that time, the trouble Fang Long caused was about to have two hands chopped off, but it was solved by Su Shaoze with a fluttering word.
Lin Jiaojiao felt that she had fallen. Although she was under the same roof and on the same bed, she gradually despised the arrogant Fang Long in her heart. If it wasn't for her children, she might have divorced.
As soon as the woman's mind changed, she became more open, and gradually he became a frequent visitor to Su Shaoze's office.
At the beginning, she was two flowers that were as famous as Lin Qingxia in Wandao. Although she was married and had a child, Lin Jiaojiao maintained her figure very well and was very feminine.
Every once in a while, I will receive a call from Su Shaoze, but this time she came on her own initiative.
Mainly for Fang Long's business.
"Haha, this guy Fang Long has a big brain and a lot of scheming, but no one likes disloyal subordinates." Su Shaoze shook his head gently.
"But he wants to jump ship to Su's Films. It's not impossible. Isn't it an opportunity to go to Hollywood? Anyway, whether he can make a name for himself in Hollywood depends on him."
It would be a good thing for Fang Long to change jobs to Su's Films, although the help to Su's Films itself is limited, because Su's Films does not lack good actors.
But why not do it if you can attack Jiahe?
Of course, at this time, Su Shaoze paid little attention to the specific matters of the film and television company, and left it all to the media group.
Therefore, whether it is Jiahe or Fang Long, they are just an insignificant person.
The most important reason why Su Shaoze pays attention to Fang Long is because he has a good wife.

"What? Do you want to jump ship to the Su family?"
Fang Long's words surprised Lin Jiaojiao: "How could you have such an idea?"
Fang Long was still lying on the sofa with a tired look, shaking his head and said, "You know the news about the Galaxy Group's acquisition of Universal Pictures, right?"
Lin Jiaojiao nodded lightly: "I saw it on TV today, it's amazing!"
"Yeah, what a surprise!"
"That's one of the seven Hollywood giants with a complete distribution channel all over the world."
Fang Long said in a low tone.
For ordinary people, Universal Pictures is just a relatively large-scale, well-known and influential American company.
But these filmmakers, these actors, are more aware of what Universal Pictures stands for.
It represents the cultural export pioneer of the United States and represents the top of the world stage.
As an actor, who doesn't want to go to the world's stage?
"Over the years, my development on Hong Kong Island has reached a bottleneck. Although the film box office is very good, my influence has always been limited to the generation of island countries and Bay Island."
"Farther away, even in the United States, I don't even know who Fang Long is!" Fang Long said depressedly.
He has long wanted to go to Hollywood!
Although Fang Long has looked beautiful on Hong Kong Island in recent years, the star of action martial arts films can contribute tens of millions of box office to the Hong Kong Island film market every year. He is the eldest brother of Hong Kong Island actors.
But in fact, only he himself knows the pressure of these 20.
Since the 1980s, the Hong Kong Island film and television industry has had the term "Big Three", referring to three of them: Wu Mengda, Zhou Runfa and Fang Long.
The three of them became famous at about the same time, and their status was not much different.
