……

At this stage, it is the most active period of Hong Jinbao in the Xiangjiang film industry, moving among various investors, producer, director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, actor...... Behind the scenes, all kinds of work can be said to be at your fingertips. The award of Best Actor to him at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards reflects an affirmation.

Of course, Hong Jinbao also missed, and this year's "Mr. Zombie", which made him a little big.

Liu Guanwei, who served as the director, was transferred from photography, and he had the qualifications to direct movies before, but the level is the level where the camera is coherent and does not jump, and his prestige is limited, so he naturally can't suppress the crew whose members are almost all old fritters; As a result, the money was like water, and I thought that the budget of 4.5 million was very abundant, but I didn't expect the gap to be nearly doubled.

I have to say that this part of the Xiangjiang filmmakers who have come out of practice now often rely more on feeling to do things, coupled with the bonds of brotherhood and human affection, it is too normal for the project to lose control.

The matter has come to this point, Hong Jinbao can only admit it, after all, a brother, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he said it too ruthlessly, except for hurting his feelings, it will not help, and he will have to rely on this team to continue to work hard in the future.

Just as Hong Jinbao was thinking of a remedy, the peak turned around, and DreamWorks was willing to come forward to fill the gap, on the condition that he make a new film.

This quid pro quo is normal, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" is predicted to be about 6 million, and the cost has reached 8.5 million, and it will have to lose 2 million all of a sudden.

Therefore, Hong Jinbao has no resistance, just as the exchange of artist schedules between film companies is the norm in the industry, and it also shows that he has the capital to be valued, which can be regarded as a bad thing and a good thing.

When Hong Jinbao told the almost suspended crew of "Mr. Zombie" about this situation. In addition to gratitude, everyone is obedient, and the prestige has grown a lot.

This full harvest of being embraced made Hong Jinbao feel very good, and as soon as he saw Tang Huan, he sincerely thanked the big boss for his generous assistance.

"I made the movie I confessed to. Remuneration and dividends will not be less. Tang Huan first pointed out this point directly, after all, Hong Jinbao and these people worked so hard to make movies, isn't it just for money, so naturally they have to increase their motivation first.

"I personally don't ask for this, without Tang Sheng's help, the film "Mr. Zombie" may have happened." Hong Jinbao, who knew the advance and retreat, hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.

"One yard is one yard, if you come to make this movie, you will make up for the favor." Tang Huan pushed the script on the table. "This war film will involve differences at the political level of some countries. You are responsible, and you always have to take some risks. ”

Hong Jinbao glanced at Wu Hanrun next to him, he had already guessed a little bit from "War and Slaughter City", which the Oscar Best Supporting Actor relied on to become famous, and immediately patted his chest heroically, "Although I Sanmao is a rough person, I also know that the word righteousness comes first, since Tang Sheng looks up to me." It is my duty to do so. ”

Tang Huan bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, pointed to the script and said with a smile: "You take a look first." There's a lot of new areas of cinema that you haven't been exposed to. ”

Hong Jinbao immediately picked up the script called "Oriental Eagle" in front of him and browsed it at a glance.

It is roughly the story of a wealthy man's son of a strange-tempered archaeologist who goes to Angkor Wat despite the dangers and is betrayed. It was hijacked and used as a bargaining chip in political negotiations, which dragged on for many years without results.

As the rich man's health deteriorated, he desperately needed to find his son to inherit the family business, so he found a group of people from the refugee camp who were willing to risk their lives to improve the future of themselves and their families. Led by a mercenary, he went to the rescue, and the operation was called the Eastern Condor.

When the team with heavy losses finds the target, they find that the other party has been "transformed" to the point that they are unwilling to leave......

Hong Jinbao closed the script, scratched his head, and said with a wry smile: "Tang Sheng is right, the filming of this movie does involve many unfamiliar areas, such as fierce gunfights, large-scale explosions and other new elements, and I almost became a novice all of a sudden." ”

"Everything is the same, and this movie still has to be supported by your kung fu in the final analysis." Tang Huan laughed, "DreamWorks has been ready for a long time, and will provide the best munitions and explosives experts to assist, you just need to explain the effect you want to achieve to them, and then follow the safety process." ”

"Even if blasting is used for film shooting, there are many restrictions on the Xiangjiang side. Most of the shots of this movie may have to be completed overseas. Hong Jinbao felt the pressure of cost.

"These constraints you consider are not a problem, and the crew will go to Funan to shoot on the spot, and there will be troops there to provide assistance and protection."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan stretched out his finger and concluded: "What needs to be paid attention to is that the movie should be exciting, and it is best to be released in November this year to coincide with the arrival of Funan's independence day." In addition, Mr. Wu may still be a little unaccustomed, take care of it. ”

Hong Jinbao, who had already calculated in his heart, immediately said: "Tang Sheng is so particular about doing things, I will definitely live up to the trust." ”

……

After Hong Jinbao and Wu Hanrun said goodbye and left, Tang Huan casually called Jiang Zhiqiang and told him to pay attention to the movie "Mr. Zombie".

You must know that this unpromising film, I don't know how to cater to the audience's tastes in the original time and space, and then started a zombie film boom that lasted until the early 1990s, and the local box office alone received 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

If this achievement follows the historical trajectory as scheduled, I wonder how the parties will react at that time?

Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are not a big deal in Tang Huan's eyes, but this feeling of playing with everyone is really interesting. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the following time, Tang Huan, accompanied by Yu Zheng, Le Yiling and others, inspected DreamWorks.

The TV drama production department is the most stable and busy, and the costume dramas in their heyday have differentiated a large number of popular themes after combining elements such as martial arts, history, dynastic hegemony, grievances and hatreds, fairies and ghosts, folklore, etc., and it can only be said that the cultural wealth of 5,000 years is simply inexhaustible.

Of course, the fashion drama has not been left behind. In particular, Wei Jiahui's type of enmity dramas began to emerge.

The comics and video game divisions are marginalized at DreamWorks, but that doesn't mean they suffer from discrimination and passivity.

In addition to works that originally existed in time and space such as "Fengyun", the former also launched new works such as "Magical Beautiful Girl" and "Kung Fu Panda", which greatly enriched the material library of film and television adaptations.

The latter has formed its own system in martial arts games. At present, I am busy developing the "Three Kingdoms" game patch package outsourced by EA.

The competition faced by the record department is very fierce, Chen Baiqiang, who was popular in the past two years, began to decline in popularity, Alan Tam became purple in his place, Leslie Cheung rose rapidly, and other changes show how dizzying the speed of renewal of the Hong Kong music scene is.

The competition between female singers once again reflects the effect of Tang Huan's intervention.

In the original time and space, in addition to Anita Mui's popularity during this period, Chen Huixian was not inferior at all. But the latter was robbed of her famous song, and she was born in a well-off family. According to the intention of his parents who are civil servants, he went to the United States to study for a university degree, and did not enter the bizarre Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

The most intriguing thing is that Chen Huixian still applied for a scholarship set up by Tang Huan to go to the United States, and it is very likely that she will serve his company in the future.

However, to be honest, Zhang Delan, who got the golden finger, is also very popular. But it's still not as popular as Anita Mui. It follows a Madonna-like route, which is eye-catching in itself. Coupled with the stage sense of hot singing and dancing, the performance is extremely talented, and the status of a superstar has been laid.

Moreover, the film and music scenes in Xiangjiang are not so pure, the taste of the entertainment industry is stronger, and the impact of strong and weak communication skills on the star journey cannot be ignored. The obedient girl who took the route of the jade girl fell into disadvantage again.

Generally speaking, the ecology of the Hong Kong music scene is changing rapidly, and it is deeply influenced by the Japanese music scene, and singers who are not suitable may really have only one way to retire.

To some extent, this also reflects the lack of inclusiveness in the Hong Kong music scene, not only Cantonese pop music completely suppresses Chinese pop music. Even the living space of rock music is not optimistic, and the Beyond band that Tang Huan once met seems to be still far from becoming famous.

As for the film department, the situation is even more complicated, and many people take advantage of Hu Yinmeng's trip to the United States to change jobs. Perhaps, the turbulent process of digesting the resources of Shaw Brothers also played a role in fueling the fire.

In the end, Tang Huan came to the rehearsal room of the artist's department to take a look, and happened to run into - maybe it was arranged by heart, and the members of Girls' Generation were practicing.

Looking at the youngest Li Zi, Tang Huan smiled and nodded, and emphasized: "This team is not easy to form, you must manage it well." ”

"Boss, don't worry, I will take care of them like taking care of my eyes." Le Yiling glanced at the artists under her hand, and the queen was full of promises.

……

Now that he knew that TVB was looking for excellent candidates from the mainland for Miss Xiangjiang, Tang Huan specially called Xie Ning in the evening and asked her what she thought.

"TVB and Media Asia TV are in a competitive relationship, and the beauty pageants on both sides are naturally in the ring. If I run for Miss Hong Kong, it's not good. Besides, I'm quite satisfied with my current career, and the duo brand is getting closer and closer to the goal of the Xiangjiang Codex, and I don't want to be distracted. Xie Ning's concerns were really the same as Le Yiling's previous analysis.

"It's because you have this idea that you didn't mention me a little bit of news?" Tang Huan shook his head disappreciatively, "I have a lot of industries, if I all uphold the attitude of either friend or foe, it will be difficult to move an inch." Besides, at present, you are only a makeup artist and model in DreamWorks, and you are not a popular artist, and your personal decision has nothing to do with the competition of TVB, Media Asia TV, and DreamWorks. ”

"You mean, if I go to the Miss Hong Kong election, it won't have any negative impact?" Xie Ning's face flashed with surprise, after all, girls love beauty, and the opportunity in front of them is not so easy to give up.

"Of course it doesn't matter." Tang Huan laughed, his arm was a little harder, and he hugged it tighter, "If there is an impact, I will also affect you." Once our relationship is exposed, you may lose your chance to compete. ”

Xie Ning blushed and replied in a low voice: "I know you like to keep a low profile, so you have always kept it a secret." ”

"Little fool, your so-called strict secrets can't escape the eyes of people with hearts." Tang Huan took a bite lovingly, "But as long as you don't get caught by the media, everything will be fine." I'll find you a nominee for Miss Xiangjiang, huh...... How about Zheng Yutong, it just so happens that he is also from Nanyue. ”

"Don't be so public, if the grades are not good, it will be too embarrassing." Shainin pleaded softly.

"Don't worry, your strength, my face, and your grades are not bad." Tang Huan's tone and movements were unquestionably domineering.

……

With the episode of Xie Ning's participation in the Miss Xiangjiang contest, Tang Huan planned to learn about the extent to which the beauty pageant of Media Asia TV had been prepared.

Don't look at it as his own business, based on the impression of the original time and space, Tang Huan has little interest in this plan to fight with TVB's Miss Xiangjiang in the ring.

When Zhou Liang Shuyi and Hu Yinmeng sent the document over, Tang Huan looked at the content and really didn't have much new ideas, so he casually suggested two sentences, "Simply copying Miss Xiangjiang's model has a limited pattern, and it makes sense to expand the election target to the entire Chinese community." ”

In this way, Media Asia TV and DreamWorks completely revamped their plans. Tang Huan only learned about the simplest recent situation, that is, the beauty pageant was renamed MissChineseCosmosPageant - Miss Chinese Universe Contest, referred to as the Chinese Sister Contest.

Seeing that the boss came to Media Asia TV, the first thing he asked about was the progress of the preparations for the beauty pageant, Zhou Liang Shuyi couldn't help but feel refreshed, and speculated in her heart, "The boss has changed from his previous cold attitude to the current special inquiry, does it mean that he clearly supports the Hua Sister Competition?" ”

"After listening to Tang Sheng's suggestion, we redesigned the beauty pageant, with the theme of 'narrowing the distance between Chinese around the world and establishing the beauty standard of the new generation of Chinese', advocating 'beauty and wisdom together, both internal and external', and promoting the establishment of a new Chinese female image of "beauty and vitality, courage and wisdom, personality and love". What remains unchanged is that the winners will have the opportunity to enter Media Asia Television and DreamWorks. ”

At this point, Zhou Liang Shuyi added again, "The Sister Hua Contest is not simply at the level of competition with Miss Xiangjiang. For example, the final time, Miss Hong Kong is at the end of May and early June, and we are scheduled for August, avoiding these deliberate battles, which is conducive to better mobilizing resources and serving the beauty pageant itself. ”

Tang Huan nodded and praised when he heard this, "You guys really have a heart, this plan sounds much more interesting." (To be continued.) )
