When Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi walked in with Hu Yinmeng, Tang Huan's basketball coaching career naturally stopped.

He clapped his hands and shouted, "The eldest third eldest and fourth eldest come to gather here for the seventh and eighth children." ”

"Dad, why don't you keep counting, shouldn't these two younger brothers be the fifth and sixth?" After the four eldest babies lined up decently, Lin Fengjiao's youngest son Jin Liang, who was ranked fourth, asked curiously.

"The fifth and sixth have already arrived, find a time for you to play together." Tang Huan laughed and touched the fourth child's head.

Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi glared at Tang Huan angrily, and took the child away separately so that Hu Yinmeng and Tang Huan could talk quietly.

"Now that my son's sequence has reached the eighth ranking, he really has the ability." Hu Yinmeng smiled and squeezed Tang Huan's words.

"That's it." Tang Huan nodded proudly, "So, you have to hurry up." Otherwise, you will miss out on the top 10 places. ”

"Get out." Hu Yinmeng, who was teased, threw the towel over in shame.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, changed his words, and found a step for Hu Yinmeng, "I heard that at the Treasure Island Golden Horse Awards this time, you were invited to be the host, how do you feel, aren't you nervous?" ”

"I haven't seen any big scenes now, and I don't know what nervousness is for a long time." Hu Yinmeng cut off, and then sighed with some annoyance, "I don't know, whether this is a comfort to DreamWorks for doing nothing at the Golden Horse Awards." ”

At this year's Golden Horse Awards, Hong Kong films are still the big winners.

However, this time it was the turn of Shaw Brothers' films, and its co-production with China Film "Xinhai Double Ten" won the best feature film, and "Wu Song" directed by Li Hanxiang made Baodao develop in Xiangjiang after his debut. Wang Ping, who played Pan Jinlian, won the Best Actress, and Gu Feng, who played Wu Dalang, won the Best Supporting Actor.

In 1981, the Hong Kong film "Marginal People", which was released last year, unexpectedly won the best director, best actor and best original screenplay, which made Century Pictures Co., Ltd. really show its face. It can also be regarded as an affirmation of the new wave of Hong Kong films.

In fact, the filmmakers who have brought this new atmosphere to Hong Kong films, including Tsui Hark, Xu Anhua, Yan Hao, Tam Jiaming, Fang Yuping, etc., basically have a common characteristic, that is, they have the qualifications to take American or British film courses.

Yu Yunkang, the founder of Century Pictures, also belongs to this category, but he is more financially savvy and good at mining commercial elements that can attract attention, and "Mountain Dog" released in 1980 is one of his directorial works.

In the original time and space. Many important figures in the new wave of Hong Kong films began to lose their reputation after Hong Kong films completely entered the era of commercial films, and even changed careers altogether. Yu Yunkang was one of them, and he eventually turned to business.

At present, Yu Yunkang has an important partner in Century Pictures Co., Ltd., that is, Liu Zhenwei, this name should be more well-known in the original time and space because of the movies "East Becomes West" and "Journey to the West". And the planner of "Marginal Man" is this person.

In fact, these promoters of the new wave of Hong Kong films. The reason why it can become a trend-setter is nothing more than to stand out in Xiangjiang by virtue of the more advanced European and American film concepts that it has mastered. is like "Fang Shiyu" launched by Tang Huan, who has a cross-era consciousness, and uses more novel filmmaking techniques to crush the current kung fu films. The Shaw Brothers movie "Wu Song" created a fight scene that is outdated.

This year, DreamWorks fell out of favor with the Golden Horse Awards. In addition to the fact that Baodao is trying to create another form of political propaganda film, there are no factors from outside the market.

Tang Huan's business made it clear that he could eat all the two sides of the strait, and some people on the treasure island were very uncomfortable when they saw it.

But Tang Huan is not only mixed in the United States, but also has a head and a face. Moreover, he has made friends with the local business forces of the treasure island, and the reputation is excellent, coupled with the importance of high-tech industries to the economy of the treasure island, so no one dares to jump out and swing his fist at the open fire, and can only find an opportunity to knock it.

DreamWorks' movies are very popular on Treasure Island, and the stumbling blocks are not good, but in terms of awards, it is much easier to operate in the dark at this stage.

Tang Huan, who knew these situations well, naturally didn't have anything to think about, and immediately smiled: "The "Wrong Car" you are preparing has a very good prospect, and it should be able to win the favor of the Golden Horse Award again, and you will be able to get your face back when the time comes." ”

"I hope so." Hu Yinmeng nodded, "Fortunately, DreamWorks' revenue and influence have developed well this year, so I won't seem to be idle with you." ”

"With me, you will always be a capable person." Tang Huan smiled, but only got Hu Yinmeng's white eyes, so he had to change the topic, "The large troops you brought are all settled?" ”

This time, Hu Yin dreamed of coming to the United States, and he led the crew of "Fang Shiyu" to appear on stage and interact with fans. Because "Fang Shiyu's Sequel" is going to take advantage of the aftermath of "Fang Shiyu", it will immediately premiere in North American theaters.

At present, "E.T. Alien" still occupies the top spot at the North American box office, especially after this film was screened in Ukraine by Tang Huan, and the marketing department boasted that it had entered the entire Soviet Union, which really attracted a lot of audiences.

You must know that Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev died of illness just this month, which can be called a very important event in international relations, and the Chinese foreign minister and US Vice President George H.W. Bush both attended the funeral.

Therefore, the Soviet Union and the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union are both hot spots in the near future, and it is difficult to attract people's attention when it is packaged as "E.T. the Extraterrestrial" released in the Soviet Union.

If this gimmick has moisture, then the scene of the test screening of "E.T. Alien" in Yanjing filmed by a media TV reporter is real.

According to the current trend, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" has no problem staying in North American theaters until the end of the year, but the position of the weekend box office champion is becoming more and more precarious, and it has recently been lifted down three times in a row by "First Blood", which is also released by United States.

There is no doubt that First Blood was a commercial success, and Sylvester . The protagonist played by Stallone is impressive.

Luen Mei plans to take advantage of the fact that "First Blood" is being screened, so that the oriental kung fu of "Fang Shiyu's sequel" will be a little fresh, so as to see if there are any unexpected surprises in the market.

I have to say. As the relationship between China and the United States has gradually become closer, Americans have become more and more curious about China, especially cultural heritage such as Chinese kung fu.

In this general situation, coupled with the successive momentum of "Shaolin Temple" and "Fang Shiyu", the publicity of "Fang Shiyu's sequel" has received positive feedback from a large number of die-hard cult movie lovers.

See there is an article to do. Luen Mei suggested that DreamWorks arrange a crew, hold a premiere, meet with the media, and interact with fans.

Of course, Luen Mei is acting in accordance with the will of the big boss Tang Huan, otherwise, these Hollywood elites would not have risked the market and worked so hard.

Hu Yinmeng has always strived to be fair in his work, so he included "Fang Shiyu" and "Fang Shiyu Sequel". Huhula brought dozens of people over, and it was really a problem that needed to be taken seriously.

"Gillian has helped arrange it properly, showing the demeanor of the young grandmother in the main house." Hu Yinmeng replied stupidly.

Tang Huan didn't say anything, he didn't bother to pay attention to these inexplicable little fights between his women, he just picked up urgent things such as DreamWorks Theaters and inquired about it, and finally agreed to Hu Yinmeng's request to participate in the premiere of "Fang Shiyu's Sequel".

……

When he saw the crowded scene in the theater, Tang Huan was very pleased. In addition to the Chinese compatriots who cheered on the scene, there were also many people of other colors. That's influence.

The highlight of the interactive session, of course, was the real kung fu shown by Jet Li, which not only attracted bursts of cheers, but also made many young people eager to learn from the teacher on the spot.

Seeing that Li Lianjie was at a loss for questions about whether he would open a martial arts gym in the United States, Tang Huan smiled slightly and signaled that Hu Yinmeng could agree to consider this suggestion.

The climax of the interactive process is the link of "teaching two tricks". Especially when an American girl in her twenties was studying, she was praised by Jet Li as "should be a practitioner" and took the initiative to perform, and her professionalism surprised everyone - this is simply a living example of Americans who have succeeded in learning martial arts.

After the introduction, everyone learned that this woman's name was Cynthia Rothrock. She is a rare female martial artist.

Hu Yin dreamed that he was happy to hunt and wanted to recruit him to film, and the other party also verbally agreed, which became a good story in this event.

After the movie started, Tang Huan suddenly slapped his thigh, remembering that this Cynthia Rothrock was not the same Rover Luo in the original time and space movies "Royal Senior Sister" and "Overlord Flower", he was really a martial artist.

"It seems that the release of "Shaolin Temple" and "Fang Shiyu" in the United States has indeed formed a certain influence, as long as people who have a little bit of Chinese kung fu can be attracted to it." Tang Huan thought.

This version of "Fang Shiyu's sequel" is very different from the original version, such as Sun An'er, another vase heroine played by Yu An'an, who ended up dying in Fang Shiyu's arms; The setting of the Japanese ronin who sent the brocade box was also changed to a group of "mercenaries"; The rationality and cohesion of the storyline have also been carefully polished.

In addition, in addition to the Chinese and Cantonese dubbing, the film also has extremely accurate English subtitles so that American audiences can understand the jokes in the movie, and the technology is fully supported by Tang Huan's engineers.

Therefore, in addition to marveling at the dazzling fight scenes on the big screen, the audience also laughed heartily as the plot progressed from time to time, and even the professional martial arts term such as dotting points seemed to understand a little bit of understanding.

Of course, the climax part of the movie is the part where Fang Shiyu blindfolded all the way into the Heaven and Earth Society and saved his mother from Zhenhai, which made the audience not generally enjoyable.

There is another detail worth mentioning, the soundtrack with Chinese characteristics in the movie made many viewers shake their heads with the sound of drums, which shows how invested they are.

Sun An'er, who was dressed in women's clothes, met Fang Shiyu who came to grab the brocade box on the river, and then the two of them hovered in the air with umbrellas, which made many viewers swallow their saliva directly.

With this comparison, when the delicate and lively Sun An'er died in Fang Shiyu's arms, many viewers said they couldn't accept it, which is the biggest objection to this movie.

Although "Fang Shiyu's Sequel" and "Fang Shiyu" are in the same vein, both have martial arts competitions, iconic witty lines, rescuing parents, and beautiful women dying of incense, it seems that the screenwriter is suspected of being lazy, but the victory lies in the sincerity of the expression, and the audience is still willing to buy it, and this is also conducive to their better understanding of the content of the movie.

After the audience left with a smile, Tang Huan said to Jet Li with a smile: "Next year, we will continue to make movies of this style and match you with other beauties." ”

Although Jet Li is working very hard now and is occasionally injured, his life and his family's economic situation have improved significantly.

Especially the obvious gap in treatment between the crew of "Shaolin Temple" and the crew of "Fang Shiyu" made Li Lianjie more and more aware of where his Bole and nobles were, so his loyalty to Tang Huan can be described as dead.

"I listened to Mr. Tang's orders, but I promised Director Zhang Xinyan that I would make another Shaolin-themed movie, I don't know if the time can be turned around." Li Lianjie replied respectfully.

"It seems to be the "Shaolin Kid" that also performed well at the box office. This is not only Li Lianjie's gratitude to Zhang Xinyan for his support, but also the favor he owes when he signs Li Lianjie into his hand, and he will have to repay it sooner or later. Tang Huan, who thought of this, nodded, "You don't have to worry about it, DreamWorks will help you coordinate it." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "You have to continue to work the language, you have to master some Cantonese and English, otherwise, it will be very inconvenient in the United States." ”

"Does Mr. Tang want me to film in the United States?" Li Lianjie was slightly stunned.

"Not yet, although I want to promote you to Hollywood, but the time is not yet ripe." Tang Huan smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't dare to have such an extravagant hope." Li Lianjie scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's too late to discuss the matter of entering Hollywood later, as long as you pay attention to accumulation." Tang Huan bowed slightly, "I want you to take the brothers next to you to open a martial arts gym in the United States, and take advantage of the great opportunity for Americans to be interested in Chinese kung fu and accumulate popularity." Of course, I will help you prepare for all kinds of conditions. ”

Tang Huan was explaining his thoughts, and Hu Yinmeng came over and asked, "Let's go to Los Angeles next, do you want to go over and help with the publicity." ”

"I don't have time to go on with him." Tang Huan waved his hand, "COMDEX is about to start, this year's situation is quite special, I want to go to Las Vegas for an on-site inspection." (To be continued......)
