In contrast, take a look at the mainland film "Hero", which was released at the same time as "Infernal Affairs".

In the Hong Kong metropolitan area, "Hero" grossed $3 million, $2 million less than "Infernal Affairs."

But what about overseas markets?

It's a world of difference!

The Korean box office is $9 million, the Japanese box office is $31 million, the UK is $5 million, the French box office is $4 million, the Australian box office is $3 million, and the Italian box office is $4.2 million......

Such a box office report is comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.

And that's just part of the story, as "Hero" becomes famous during Hollywood's awards season, the film's global box office is sure to increase even further.

"Infernal Affairs" was cold, but "Hero" rose strongly.

This seems to be an important turning point in an era.

Hong Kong films that dominated Asia and went to the world back then really want to be completely surpassed by mainland films?

Boss Lin is a big boss with a high vision, in addition to making money, the development of the entertainment industry in the Hong Kong government is also what he pays attention to.

He gave the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" to Tang En for free, just to hear the views of the world's No. 1 filmmaker on the current film landscape of the Hong Kong government and the prospects of Hong Kong films.

Tang En said lightly: "There is only one way left for Hong Kong films. ”

"What way?" asked Boss Lin.

Tang En pointed to the north, "Let go of the pride of the Hong Kong government and throw yourself into the arms of the mainland!"

On the left and right, Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, who were nestled in Tang En's arms, both showed surprised expressions.

Boss Lin frowned, "Mr. Walker, you may not know much about the censorship over there...... It's very troublesome, the film "Infernal Affairs" has been communicating with that side for more than half a year, and it can't be released yet. ”

"Oh?"

"They demanded that the ending of the film be changed, and they did not allow the criminal to be the final victor of the film. ”

Don said casually, "Then change it." ”

Boss Lin said: "But the producer and director of the film resolutely disagree with the revision, which is distorting art and ...... the movie Desecrate. ”

Tang En said coldly: "There is no artistry in the first place, a commercial entertainment film, how can it be blasphemous? If they really understand the art of film, they would have been like Wang Jiawei and sold the film to Europe! They want to make money and be an uncle, is this possible? Hmph, this kind of high-minded and empty-eyed mentality of the Hong Kong filmmakers will pay a painful price sooner or later, and Hong Kong films deserve to fall!"

"Not really, right?"

Boss Lin's face changed slightly.

Tang En was not interested, and didn't want to say any more, so he said lightly: "Boss Lin, I thank you for giving me the adaptation rights, but that's all, you can do it yourself." If Hong Kong films want to live, they must cater to mainland officials, curry favor with mainland fans, and pursue the mainland market, which is the only chance. ”

Boss Lin sighed, "Mr. Walker, thank you for your guidance, I will consider your suggestion." ”

Tang En nodded, then hugged the two girls on the left and right tightly in his arms, and said quietly: "Boss Lin, I want to take them back to the hotel tonight, can you arrange it?"

Miss Zhong and Miss Cai both changed their faces.

Boss Lin laughed a few times, "Brother Walker, he is really strong and young, haha!"

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Next, he spoke Cantonese.

Don didn't quite understand.

I can vaguely hear that it seems to be Boss Yang of Emperor Entertainment on the other side.

Then, Miss Zhong and Miss Cai talked to Boss Yang on the phone separately.

At this time, Don En had already pulled Yu Aoi and was ready to leave.

"Dad, do you want these two girls to accompany you at night?" Yu Aoi whispered to Don with his feet crossed.

Don smiled and said, "Clever, can you see this?"

Yu Aoi wrinkled her nose, "But you've only known each other for an hour, is that okay?"

Tang En lowered his voice, "Then what should I do? You can't let Xiaoyou come over to accompany the bed, right?"

Aoi You's face turned red, he stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking about, Xiaoyou doesn't understand." ”

"You'll understand it when you grow up. ”

"Dad, you're bad. ”

Yu Aoi's face is even redder, her eyes are dodgy, and she is shy and cute.

After a while, Boss Lin's hearty voice came from behind him, "Brother, I have already asked people to book a room at the Peninsula Hotel, and let them accompany you, hehe." ”

I saw that Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, who had already put on their caps, sunglasses and masks, walked over to Tang En, their voices were sullen through the masks, "Mr. Walker, Boss Lin and our Boss Yang, let our sisters chat with you tonight." ”

"Yes? Thank you very much. ”

Tang En was not polite, holding Aoi You's small hand with his left hand, and holding Miss Zhong's slender waist on his right, he didn't know if it was Miss Zhong or Miss Cai, and strode away.

……

A night of madness.

The blessings that he had not enjoyed in his previous life, in this life, Tang En got what he wanted.

Early the next morning, Don got up from Gentle Township and saw Yu Aoi in the living room.

"Good morning, Dad. ”

"Hmm, woke up so early?"

"Can't sleep. ”

Don's expression was a little strange, he walked over and sat down beside her, and unceremoniously hugged her waist.

"Daddy~~"

Yu Aoi moved a few times, but he couldn't break free, and his face was red.

Tang En lowered his voice and smiled evilly, "Last night, did you hear something you shouldn't have heard?"

Yu Aoi said sheepishly, "No...... No......"

"Really?"

"Not really. ”

Yu Aoi's face is flushed and can drip water.

She felt very strange.

This is obviously the presidential suite, the presidential bedroom and the wife's bedroom, separated by a long distance, how could you hear such a loud voice last night?

So much so that she spent the whole night in shyness and crankiness.

How did she know that Don En was busy enough last night.

The door of the president's bedroom was wide open, and later he took two sisters and ran around in the living room for a while, and even ran to the door of the lady's bedroom, and he stayed on the ground for ten minutes.

In this case, it's no wonder that Yu Aoi can't hear the sound!

Tang En secretly laughed, just wanted to tease her for a while, this innocent and lovely girl, blushing when teasing, was very interesting.

At this time, Miss Zhong opened the door of the president's bedroom with fluffy hair, disheveled pajamas, and even saw that she was not wearing anything inside, she looked tired all night, and said with sleepy eyes: "Boss, our Boss Yang said that in 40 minutes, I will come to visit you." ”

"Boss Yang? Okay. ”

Donn nodded.

Another Hong Kong government bigwig.

……

When Boss Yang arrived, Yu Aoi was helping Tang En tie his tie.

Don greeted him very warmly and said to him that he was very satisfied with the careful arrangement last night!

Boss Yang was even cooler than Boss Lin, and in front of Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, he smiled and said, "I have heard that Mr. Walker is a man among men, and looking at their complexions, I know that they have worked hard all night." ”

"Hahahaha. ”

Don laughed a few times.

Immediately afterwards, they talked about business, which was similar to Tang En's expectations, and Boss Yang also came to learn from Tang En, a great god in the entertainment industry, to consult the future direction of the Hong Kong government's entertainment industry.

Tang En had a lot of fun last night, and as a reward, he had to give him some advice, so that he could develop his entertainment career to the mainland.

Boss Yang is really more confident than Boss Lin, and he also knows more about the entertainment industry, so he immediately made a statement, saying that he would immediately go north and set up a branch, especially the focus will be on promoting the popular idol combination of Miss Zhong and Miss Cai to the mainland market!

After chatting about work, Boss Yang was in a very good mood, looked at Yu Aoi, and asked with a smile: "Is this girl a day/me?"

Don didn't hide it either, reaching out and carrying Yu Aoi's shoulder, "Well, my daughter." ”

"Daughter?" Boss Yang paused slightly, gave a thumbs up, and said meaningfully, "Good fortune!"

The two looked at each other and laughed wickedly.

Boss Yang is in Hong Kong, which is not much different from Don's reputation in Hollywood.

Personal style, there are similarities.

Then, Don gave him a detailed explanation of what "daddy's life" is all about in Japan.

Boss Yang listened and nodded repeatedly, "Well, it's the same in any country, right? Just like the United States has Sugar_Daddy, the Hong Kong government also has a similar godfather culture." ”

"Godfather culture?"

Donn was interested.

Boss Yang slowly explained: "Decades ago, the black ...... of the Hong Kong government Anyway, it's quite chaotic, and the personal safety of film and television stars is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, some industry bigwigs came forward to take these stars back as godsons and goddaughters, which is equivalent to protecting them in disguise. Today's world-famous Jack Chen, Jett Lee, and Mary Chang all came over like this. ”

Don was a little curious, "How did I hear that...... Ahem, you know, I'm very good at Mandarin, so I know a little bit about the culture here. I've heard that the meaning of 'godfather' is similar to Sugar_Daddy in the United States, huh?"

Boss Yang waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Two different things, godfather is to provide protection and support for his children! Of course, just like Japan/Ben's 'dad work', in the process of dating, it is inevitable that there will be some out-of-character relationships between men and women, but this is only a few." The kind of meaning you mean is a phenomenon that has only become popular in recent years. ”

"Oh?"

"The entertainment industry in the mainland has always been learning from the Hong Kong government, and there is no real bigwig with status to be a godfather, so I have learned four different things. In addition, some wealthy businessmen in Macao, Taiwan and Hong Kong like to go to the mainland to play actresses, and the image of godfathers has changed. This godfather culture has become a transaction for daughters to provide bodies and godfathers to provide financial resources. ”

Boss Yang sighed, as if he was very annoyed with those bastards who had corrupted the "godfather" culture.

Tang En laughed dumbly and whispered, "Boss Yang, don't you have a few goddaughters?"

Boss Yang laughed a few times, didn't say the answer, but glanced at Tang En meaningfully, "Mr. Walker, since you have accepted a Japanese/Ben actress as your daughter, are you interested in accepting two goddaughters from the Hong Kong government?"

Tang En's heart was hot, and he pretended to hesitate, "This ......"

Boss Yang understood it at once, and waved his big hand, "What do you think of Xiao Zhong and Xiao Cai?"

"They?"

Donn's face changed.

Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, when they got Boss Yang's eyes, also reacted immediately, and shouted in unison: "Godfather!"

Tang En almost squirted out, waving his hand again and again, "Stop, stop!"
