Chapter 131: Old Yang (1/3)
(It's basically done, just change the medicine a few times...) Give me two more days to ensure the recovery of the sixth watch)
China Star is Xiangjia's film company, after the listing, the Hong Kong film market is sluggish, China Star entered the gaming industry, real estate, the acquisition of health care products in the north and south...
Diversification in the true sense of the word!
In 2014, Fifth Brother Long was attracted by the popularity of the mainland film industry and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
put forward a five-year plan: five to eight works in five years, not to mention returning to the top, at least let the industry feel the Chinese star... It's back!
"Legend of the Gods" was created in this context!
Known as a Chinese fantasy epic blockbuster, with an investment of 500 million, Li Lianjie, Fan Xiaopang, Liang Jiahui, Gu Tianluo, the leader and his wife and other big names in the circle starred, the Chinese star in the annual report is full of praise for this new work: "The film is produced by the Group at a cost of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, with a strong cast, with the assistance of the Hollywood 3D special effects team. ”
Chinese stars have been in the limelight recently - Huayi guarantees a minimum of one billion issuance!
In addition, Orange and Zhou Xingxing fell out...
Therefore, Zhong Lifang's proposal to find a Chinese star to cooperate, it is understandable...
Lu Xiaoran doesn't like Fifth Brother Long very much, for no other reason, he can't keep up with the times!
It's 6012 years, and you still want to make money by relying on the cast lineup?
Big guy, times have changed!
Sun Entertainment, the gold lord of Gu Tianrao...
Emperor...
Needless to say!
Lao Yang and Fifth Brother Long are known as the "two heroes" of Hong Kong movies.
"Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", they are also investors - Ge You is their signed artist...
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran said: "Contact Yang Shoucheng, the last time we cooperated was very pleasant..."
“... Yes. ”
Zhong Lifang was a little surprised...
"Have you thought about it?"
"What have you thought about?"
Lu Xiaoran: "The artists under the Emperor have never attacked the owner... What is the reason for this?"
The way of doing business is also the way of dealing with people!
Of course, Yang Shoucheng is lustful, and his jokes are all over the Internet, but Xie Tingfeng, Joey Yung, Twins, so many Hong Kong stars, even if they are prosperous in the mainland, they have not proposed to terminate the contract with the Emperor...
What's with?
There must be something special!
Also, in the past few years, the Hong Kong circle has been sluggish, and Emperor still has "Firefighting Heroes", "Breaking the Wind", "Lucky is Me" and other masterpieces with good reputation...
Later, it launched a hit like "The Nameless"!
What does it mean?
Lao Yang still has a filmmaker's vision!
It's just that the overall recession of the Hong Kong film environment is limited, and there is very little he can do...
Then, Zhong Lifang's phone rang... It's Yang Shoucheng.
He said he was in Beijing and wanted to make an appointment with Lu Xiaoran...
......
The news of "Wushuang" can be regarded as shocking the Hong Kong circle...
Chow Yun-fat + Liang Jiahui + Zhang Ziyi + Lu Xiaoran, or a crime theme...
Infinite reverie.
Hong Kong media report - Lu Shoufu wants to create Asia's top commercial crime film!
They really call Lu Xiaoran the richest man in Lu - TVB's "Kua Generation" quotes Lu Xiaoran and pretends to be quoted 'two small goals'...
Yang Shoucheng knew that Lu Xiaoran would definitely need a partner in Hong Kong if he wanted to shoot in Hong Kong, so he simply flew over.
Why so positive?
Make money!
Glamorous participated in the trilogy of "Looking for the Dragon", "Mermaid", and "Nine Ghost Generals", and the financial report is good-looking...
Oranges are not as solitary as they used to be, basically every time they launch a work, they will find three to five partners, and there are more than a dozen publishers and co-distributors...
On the one hand, it is because the current market is not easy to figure out, and film investment is a very risky activity, and if the box office is a big hit, it may be profitable, and if the box office is dismal, it may lose all its money.
With the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic film market, the investment threshold for domestic blockbusters has also risen.
Investors of films face a very real problem: how to reduce the risk?
It's the same with oranges...
The more issuers, the smoother it will be when finalizing and publicizing, which is another form of integration of resources.
......
Lu Xiaoran has changed a lot recently...
It's not recent, since the release of "Thai Embarrassment" in 12 years, he has not been so hostile to the Hong Kong circle...
What Hong Kong circle and mainland circle are all their own people, there is no need to distinguish them so clearly...
As for the guys who don't think they're our own, let's boycott them together!
Solidarity can be united, resist that batch of garbage together!
Lu Xiaoran met with Lao Yang, chatted for a few words, and then said: ""Wushuang", I am going to participate in the Academy Awards!"
“... Hong Kong's Academy Awards?"
"Yes!"
“... I'll figure it out!"
“... I would like to invite Chen Baixiang, Liang Liewei, Ouyang Zhenhua, Kwan Lijie, Li Yaoxiang, Wu Qihua, and Charmaine Sheh to star in "Wushuang"..."
"No problem, trifle!"
"Thank you..."
Why invite these people...
Because they are all patriotic artists, especially Chen Baixiang...
The big golden retriever said, 'Chen Baixiang and Du Wenze were on a show, Du Wenze knew all kinds of shouting, Chen Baixiang was very calm, and said, 'A big voice doesn't mean that you are reasonable'!"
It's handsome!
Writing these people down in the notebook, Lao Yang then asked, "Do you want to add a few more stars?"
“... No need, Zhou Yanfa and Liang Jiahui are enough!"
"If you want to find it, I can find you all the four heavenly kings!"
“... Haha..."
What can the Four Heavenly Kings do when they come?
Playing a supporting role...
The Four Heavenly Kings collectively played soy sauce...
Even Lu Xiaoran felt very emotional!
Of course, with a feeling is a feeling, but there is no need...
On the one hand, it's too extravagant, and on the other hand... Frankly speaking, no matter how many kings are added, the most handsome in "Wushuang" is still Zhou Runfa...
It's a bit of a waste of such a lineup!
"No need..."
"What about Geyu?"
“... Such a pure Hong Kong cast, plus a mainland actor, is not suitable..."
Think about Mr. Daoming's performance in "Infernal Affairs 3", it's called an embarrassment...
Heroine...
I don't need a mainland actress, you can find me a Hong Kong actress who can play.
"It's a little out of place... In fact, after signing Ge You, I also think a lot of books are not suitable for him... Fortunately, you filmed "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", otherwise, it would really be a waste of him!"
Do you know it's wasted?
Take a look at what Uncle Ge joined the Queen of England and filmed: "The Battle of the Bad Movie: The God of Food", "The Dangerous Road to the Treasure of the Bad Movie"...
If it weren't for the deep-rooted national level, it would have been marked as a pillar of shame!
Can't you just pick a good script?
Alas...
It's really not that Lao Yang doesn't want to pick a good script, in recent years, Hong Kong film production companies have become marginal and non-mainstream, and good absorption shrubs are basically not their turn...
Lu Xiaoran smiled, then thought of "New World", and suddenly thought: "Boss Yang, you said you can help me make an appointment with the Four Heavenly Kings?"
“... Do you have an idea?"
"I also have a book, which is based on "Infernal Affairs", called "New World"..."
