Chapter 0487 - Protecting Flowers is about to start filming

When Xia Meng, who was on the side of "Fleeing to the Angry Sea", won the best film, Xu Anhua won the best director, Dai Anping won the best screenplay, Miao Qianren won the best actress, Ma Sichen won the best new actor and so on.

I have been worried that the Academy Awards, which have Tang Huan's shadow behind them, will favor the bosses of various film companies in DreamWorks, and they are also collectively speechless.

DreamWorks has won some awards, but they are all technical-focused awards such as Best Action Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, and Best Costume Design, and the rest of the time they are running alongside.

Mai Dangxiong, who sat in the center of the "Pretty Girl" team, watched the Academy Awards create reasonable accidents with cold eyes, and all he had in his heart was the awe of the resources controlled by huge commercial capital.

When Mai Dangxiong flew out from Li's TV single, he thought that with the prestige he had accumulated in the TV station over the years, he could take away a few extremely important helpers and make money in the emerging film field together, but the other party politely refused.

Later, these people rose through the ranks and were even sent to the United States and Canada to help develop Chinese channels there.

And as DreamWorks' tentacles extend to all corners of entertainment content production, McDonald feels that his film career always seems to be shrouded in its shadow, and even the newcomer Wen Bi has turned his head to enter DreamWorks and become a member of the Girls' Generation group, and even just appeared on stage.

Mak Dangxiong, who is quite business-minded, has a faint feeling in his heart that the Hong Kong film industry is rapidly entering an era of big capital that is completely different from the past. A small film company without support, even if it has good works, may not get a good theater schedule, should I take the initiative to improve the relationship with my old club?

Compared to this heavy thought. The lack of harvest in "Pretty Girl" seems irrelevant. What's more, although this movie is a dark horse at the box office and has aroused social attention, "Running to the Angry Sea" is not bad, the box office of nearly 16 million is better, and the pattern is not comparable to his own works.

saw Hong Jinbao, who has cooperated repeatedly, and won the best actor with "Beware of Little Hands". Mecca, who was the favorite to win the award, laughed disappreciatively, then glanced at Zou Wenhuai, and secretly muttered that this Boss Zou was going to have a headache, and after his new art city poached Xu Guanjie with 2 million, the other party seemed to have fallen into the suspicion of a cup bow and snake shadow.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Hong Jinbao, who was excitedly speaking, and really had a headache about how to continue to control the other party in the future.

Hong Jinbao, who has been in the film industry for many years, has long been trained to write, direct, and act. When people's abilities are great, they are naturally unwilling to wait for her, and Hong Jinbao is dissatisfied with Jiahe's old-fashioned economic exploitation. There are already several independent film companies out there.

With his ambitious brother as an example, Cheng Long, the pillar of Golden Harvest, also has the same mind.

"The current team is really getting harder and harder to lead." Zou Wenhuai sighed secretly while looking at Run Run Shaw who walked to the stage.

This time, the Academy Awards added the Professionalism Award and presented it to Run Run Shaw.

After the movie tycoon came to power, he sighed, "Another decade." Hong Kong Films has once again started a new era. ”

Those who are at the top of the food chain of the film industry in Hong Kong immediately resonated - a dream factory backed by the super-rich. It has completed the expansion step by step in the horizontal and vertical directions, and it is like the fourth giant after Dianmao, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

……

As Tang Huan, who controls all this, he doesn't have so much mind to care what others think.

He looked carefully at the brochures printed at the Academy Awards, especially the shortlisted films that reflected the current social situation in Hong Kong, which can be described as a microcosm of social contradictions to a certain extent.

History is always similar, and today Hong Kong is confused and lost under the rapid economic development. It is not a rehearsal for the mainland tomorrow.

However, Tang Huan's thinking that was very different from ordinary people was soon interrupted by the performance of the Academy Awards.

"This is the girl group you created?" Tang Huan turned his head sideways and asked with a sense of absurdity, because of these members, he could almost recognize half of the heels in the original time and space. It can only be said that the circle of Xiangjiang is too small.

"That's right." Hu Yinmeng nodded, "Don't you think that the name should be atmospheric and in line with international standards, then it will be called Girls' Generation as you wish." ”

"That little bean sprout is the youngest, isn't it?" Tang Huan asked funny.

"Her name is Lizi, and she was the last to be added, and she came to sign up behind her family's back during the winter vacation, falsely claiming to be 16 years old, and after verification, she turned out to be 12 years old. I saw that she was a big ghost and had a special family background, so I stayed. This girl didn't live up to my trust, she worked very hard and performed very well on stage. ”

Hu Yinmeng then briefly introduced Lin Shanshan, Luo Meiwei, Li Lizhen, Wen Bibian, Chen Jialing and other members one by one.

Among these girls, in addition to Li Zi, there are several people with quite backgrounds, such as Lin Shanshan is Dillon's niece, and Chen Jialing is the sister of Chen Xiuwen, a popular DreamWorks artist.

"You're really good, your looting ability is simply overwhelming." Tang Huan sincerely admired.

"Don't think that's all, if it weren't for the fact that Li Saifeng and Liu Jialing have already developed a good momentum in TV dramas, I plan to adjust them with a good dance background." Hu Yinmeng proudly invited credit.

Looking at the Xiangjiang version of Girls' Generation that began to exit, Tang Huan couldn't help but be curious, "Then how do you plan for their future?" ”

"Idol groups, of course, are in full development. The entertainment circles in Xiangjiang, including the music scene, have borrowed a lot from Japan, and the consumer market in Xiangjiang is also very buying, so I am not blind to the elephant. Speaking of this, Hu Yinmeng pretended to be mysterious.

……

The second Xiangjiang Film Awards on April 23 was very successful in terms of the experience of the first session, and even after a period of time after the end, it could attract endless media discussions about it, and the popularity was completely opened.

After Tang Huan affirmed Chen Baisheng and the achievements of "Film Fortnightly" in terms of hosting, he hurriedly took time out to attend an investor meeting.

Heungjiang's investors invest in EA shares through trusts. Now that the North American home video game console market is beginning to decline, Xiangjiang is not unaware of the fact that the factories related to it have closed down one after another, and at least thousands of employees who directly serve it have lost their jobs, which can be said to be a heavy blow to Xiangjiang Electronics.

Suspicious of Hong Kong investors, Tang Huan did not beat around the bush. "The North American market has indeed entered a period of recession, but the industry has just begun to enter a rational stage of development. ”

Looking around at everyone, Tang Huan sincerely emphasized, "In the current situation, everyone needs to preserve the value of assets. If you guys don't like EA, then it's time to make a move. On the American side, I made it clear. As soon as the EA stock price falls below $50, I will increase my holdings. ”

"Tang Sheng, can we turn EA's investment into the investment of Fangyuan Computer Company, or the investment of Epson and Taidong in Japan?" Someone asked tentatively.

"Of course, there is no problem, but it needs to go through special business calculation rules. If you are impatient, then completely sell EA stocks, and the minimum will not be less than $50. I believe. This price is definitely a lot of money compared to the starting price when everyone supported me to acquire Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson. Tang Huan boldly gave the final word to this matter.

I have to say. The reason why Tang Huan did not stay in Xiangjiang all year round, but his prestige in Xiangjiang is still growing day by day, is largely due to this economic connection.

……

After solving this urgent task, Tang Huan was carefully pulled to participate in the banquet of the rich circle of Xiangjiang again.

The reason for this is nothing more than that everyone wants to touch his views on the future of Xiangjiang - Tang Huan's absence from public does not mean that it is necessary for him to remain silent in his private circle.

"I think people should learn more about the history of China. Don't look at the Chinese as the main body of the Xiangjiang society, but like the West, they may not know much about China's development for thousands of years. ”

As soon as Tang Huan's voice fell, it immediately attracted complaints from several famous rich second generations, "Don't sell Guanzi in a foggy way." In movies and TV series, shouting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty all day long is enough to show how alienated this place is from the former Central Plains Dynasty, who still wants to read history. ”

Tang Huan smiled unhurriedly, "It takes experience to do things, and it is even more so to do great things." Decades of proletarian glory and thousands of years of proletarian impermanence will naturally be chosen unconsciously. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan stretched his waist, "I've been tired for more than half a year, don't bother me with these trivial things." I went to Xiangjiang this time, mainly to relax, tomorrow to go fishing, who will go with me? ”

Tang Huan's carelessness made everyone think of the black line, and said in his heart that you have a wide road and a big mouth, don't worry about the back road, but how can we compare.

……

Tang Huan is indeed a little tired of these noises, smart people don't need to say more, they naturally know how to choose, and stupid people don't need to say more, it's useless.

The key is that these people not only seek "rich", but also "expensive", once they leave Xiangjiang, the latter will basically pass away. Xiangjiang, a small place, does have too many things for them that are difficult to give up.

So turning over the sky, Tang Huan really drove the yacht out to sea to fish, anyway, there was no official business to burn his eyebrows, and he just took it to the boat to deal with it.

The accompanying personnel include Deng Lijun, Xu Anhua, Cheng Xiaodong, Chen Kexin, Ang Lee, etc., who have completed the production team of the film "Protecting Flowers".

The purpose of this film is to further enhance Deng Lijun's reputation in the Japanese music scene and really open up the American market, so the preparations have been done very carefully.

Tang Lijun released her second Cantonese album "Walking on the Road of Life" this year, which is another platinum selling record, and the song of the same name "Walking on the Road of Life" quickly spread, becoming the most popular Cantonese song released by Tang Lijun.

This achievement further strengthened Deng Lijun's confidence in holding a concert to commemorate the 15th anniversary of entering the music scene.

It can be said that at this time, Deng Lijun's development in Xiangjiang has entered its heyday. But having truly seen how wide the world is, she has never let go of her desire not to prove her musical talent in Japan.

Tang Huan is optimistic, in his opinion, the ability to be on his own kang is not ability, and it is called ability to really go out.

As a result, filming the movie "Protecting Flowers" has become a preferred plan to promote the rapid development of his career, after all, singers do have many successful precedents that complement each other by shooting movies across borders.

Deng Lijun's first electrocution dates back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, and since then she has concentrated on the development of the music scene.

After more than ten years, Deng Lijun is really nervous about getting in touch with the field of film, which has developed a lot.

And according to the shooting plan, the film scenes should involve Baodao, Xiangjiang, Japan, and the United States to show Deng Lijun's achievements in Chinese songs, Cantonese songs, Japanese songs, English songs, etc., as well as amazing language skills, and the complexity of the whole process can be imagined.

To this end, Tang Huan specially equipped Cheng Xiaodong as the action director for Xu Anhua, the new director of the Academy Awards, and two additional assistants - Chen Kexin and Ang Lee, although they are newcomers, they are enough.

It is completely foreseeable that the filming process of the movie "Protecting Flowers" may be very troublesome, because Tang Huan's time is also squeezed out, so the crew will not leave the ground when they are busy, and it is equivalent to a vacation when they are free.

Fortunately, Tang Huan is not imperious, the investment in this film is not a problem, of course it is best to complete the shooting this year, if it is delayed until next year, it will be too late to delay the layout.

Of course, if this project is really delayed to such an extent, then Deng Lijun's schedule will become a new problem, after all, when the time comes, she will start holding a concert to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of entering the music scene.

When he saw Tang Huan's Ang Lee again, he was very excited, he didn't expect that he and his girlfriend would be able to participate in such a powerful film production team so quickly after they both successfully applied for the job and got the job they wanted.

Seeing Tang Huan put down his work plan, Xu Anhua said: "This film will involve a concert in the filming process of four places, although it can be solved through Miss Deng's fan club, but the on-site coordination work may not be easy." ”

"It's not terrible to be able to anticipate difficulties in advance." Tang Huan smiled and comforted the other party, "I have large-scale companies in Japan and the United States, so I am not unfamiliar with life there, and I also have the convenience of fighting at home." ”

Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan's fishing rod and asked, "How long do you plan to spend time on the yacht?" Do you participate in the worship ceremony at the beginning of the filming? ”

"I'm also a member of the crew, of course I can't be an exception." Tang Huan laughed. (To be continued......)
