Chapter 69: Everything is ready
"Brother Chen's trip to Taiwan is for your movie, which claims to create a new era of action movies and has a large investment of 15 million, right?" After some jokes, Cai Songlin cut straight to the point and told Chen Yongren his name.
"That's right......"; Chen Yongren nodded yes.
"I don't have any other hobbies, I just like movies, without the driving force of movies, I may not have today's achievements, I am very curious about the new model that Brother Chen said, I don't know if Brother Chen is convenient, let's ......."
"It's easy to say......" Chen Yongren smiled and talked to the two......
The difficulty of filming "Die Hard" is not in the crew, but in terms of public relations with the relevant departments of the Taiwan authorities. All this will not be lifted until a few years later, when the ban on Taiwanese films will be lifted.
And the plot of "Die Hard" will, to a certain extent, show a satire on some aspects of Taiwan, not to mention that it also involves sensitive departments such as the Taiwan Security Bureau, which may not be there in a few years, but now, if Chen Yongren is not careful, he may be detained by the Taiwan authorities for satirizing politics and criticizing the government.
Chen Yongren said that he was not afraid of Taiwan, nor did he care about Taiwan's box office market; But he doesn't care, but others don't care, he was blocked by Taiwan, and it is estimated that whether it is Hong Kong or Taiwan, there are few people willing to cooperate with him.
Cai Songlin listened to what Chen Yongren said, nodded and praised: "Although no one dares to judge the quality of this movie before it comes out, I can hear it, Brother Chen, you are very confident, not for your own self-confidence, but for the confidence of this movie, I am looking forward to ......."
Chen Yongren arched his hand and smiled: "Boss Xie Cai is ...... Jiyan."
Cai Songlin waved his hand and interrupted Chen Yongren and said: "I, Brother Chen, Brother Chen, have been calling for a long time, you are still Boss Cai, Boss Cai keeps calling, could it be that in the eyes of Brother Chen, Cai is not qualified to intersect with your brother?" ”。
Chen Yongren was speechless, and said in his heart that you are about the same age as my father, I call you brothers, what do you call my father when you see me one day? Never mind...... In ancient times, there were martial arts people who accepted apprentices on behalf of teachers, and today I, Chen Yongren, will replace my old bean and accept a tycoon as a junior for him!
"The little brother was rude, and I ask Brother Cai to forgive me......."
Cai Songlin's brows furrowed, and he smiled at Chen Yongren: "Brother just said that the filming site of your movie is still being searched?" ”。
"That's right......"; Chen Yongren said with a smile: "I also just asked Senior Brother Wang!" ”。
Wang Yu waved his hand, squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Yongren and smiled: "I don't think I can help with this!" Saying that, he looked at Cai Songlin, "Isn't it?" Brother Cai ......".
Cai Songlin laughed and said to Chen Yongren: "I have a brother who is in the real estate business, he has just built a new commercial building, and it has not yet been fully opened, I greet him, and Brother Chen can only use the ......."
Chen Yongren said "thank you", and before he continued to speak, he heard Wang Yu on the side suddenly interject, "Ah Ren, don't be in a hurry to thank him first......"; As he spoke, he turned to Cai Songlin and said, "You finish talking at one time!" ”。
Cai Songlin didn't care, and smiled at Chen Yongren: "I know that Brother Chen has established his own film company, and he must be confident and ambitious, so I want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Brother Chen, what do you think?" ”。
Chen Yongren knows that although Cai Songlin now controls 40% of Taiwan's theater chains, he is not the largest theater chain in Taiwan, Wang Yingxiang's Longxiang Pictures is not weaker than Cai Songlin at all.
However, Wang Yingxiang became famous very early, and his foundation is much thicker than Cai Songlin, the former has been cooperating with large companies such as Golden Harvest and New Art City, and has almost monopolized the distribution of all high-quality Hong Kong films in Taiwan, while Cai Songlin can only participate in investing in some independent production companies' films to supplement the lack of cinema film sources.
The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, not to mention that Cai Songlin not only came to the door in person, but also "full of sincerity".
The next day, Chen Yongren, Zhang Che, Wang Jing, Huang Yuetai and others met Cai Songlin's eldest brother Cai Songge, who was mainly responsible for Cai Songlin's real estate business, operating hotels and large shopping malls.
Tsai Songge has long been prepared for the arrival of Chen Yongren and his entourage, and now it is the stage of economic take-off of the Asian tigers, and Taipei, as the first city in Taiwan, is gradually transforming into an international metropolis.
Director Tsai's 150-meter-tall commercial building is just a microcosm of Taiwan's economy at this time, and was built by Tsai Songlin in a joint venture with several Taiwanese chaebols, and has not yet opened.
"How's it going, Mr. Chen?" After everyone looked around, Cai Songge asked, "Does it meet your requirements?" ”。
Chen Yongren and Zhang Che glanced at each other, nodded together, and then looked at Huang Yuetai, who nodded and smiled: "According to the director's requirements, there is nothing wrong with the photography......
Cai Songge said proudly: "Although this Tengfei building is not the highest in Taiwan, it is definitely the safest, we specially invited the best design team in Europe, and the 8-magnitude earthquake can withstand it, I heard that your movie is going to blow up the building, as long as it is not a missile or an atomic bomb, even if it is blown up, it will be repainted at most once and the glass ...... replaced."
Chen Yongren couldn't smile bitterly, "Brother Cai, we are making movies, not real terrorists, the explosives used in filming movies are all specially treated, and they are useless, besides, let alone real bombs, we don't even know where we can get them!" ”。
Cai Songge smiled awkwardly: "What did I say...... I heard that the total investment in your movie is only 15 million, how can you afford to blow up dozens of floors? It doesn't matter if the maintenance cost is enough or not......".
Chen Yongren was speechless and relied on ...... Dare to look down on those who make movies, one day, the master will let you see and understand, what is called robbing money.
……
After solving the preliminary preparations of the crew, Chen Yongren rushed back to Hong Kong that afternoon, thinking that the results of the European World Championships would not be available until tomorrow, and it was not good to go directly to Chengyulian, so he rushed back to the company.
Cui Baozhu organized the company in an orderly manner, and she was very surprised to see Chen Yongren, "Ah Ren, didn't you just go to Taiwan yesterday?" Coming back so soon? ”。
"Taiwan's affairs are almost ready, just wait for the crew to pass, and I have a bit of an urgent need to deal with when I come back," Chen Yongren said with a smile; He respects Cui Baozhu very much, there is no way, people don't know what they think in their hearts, in order to continue his laziness, he has to greet others comfortably.
Cui Baozhu nodded, "By the way, Mr. Chen of Yongjia seems to have something to do with you, and said that he couldn't get through the phone call to you for a day, let me contact you, you see ......."
Chen Yongren was stunned when he heard this, he went to Tengfei Mansion early this morning, went around and around, and had a meal with Cai Songge, rambling nonsense for a long time, and then got on the plane directly, and was on the road all day; Alas...... It's a hassle not to have a mobile phone, big brother, when will you come to Hong Kong?
Xiang Yongjia went to the phone and got through......
"Hey...... Yongjia Film Company, who are you looking for? ”。
Hearing Chen Xunqi's voice, Chen Yongren hung up the phone directly. Over there, Chen Xunqi listened to the busy tone on the phone, and hung up the phone inexplicably.
Seeing this, Cui Baozhu said strangely: "Didn't anyone pick it up?" ”。
"There are ......"; Seeing Cui Baozhu was even more strange, Chen Yongren smiled and said: "My brother said that it was inconvenient on the phone, let me go to see him ......."
Cui Baozhu is still puzzled, you haven't opened your mouth once from beginning to end, how does Mr. Chen know that it's yours?
When he arrived at Yongjia and greeted some acquaintances, Chen Yongren broke into Chen Xunqi's office directly......
Chen Yongren was discussing things with others, when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Chen Yongren stunned: "Why are you here?" ”。
"Didn't you call me?" Chen Yongren is strange.
"When did I call you?".
"Sister Baozhu told me that you called me for a day ......."
"You know?".
"Yes!" Chen Yongren nodded.
"Then you don't reply...... Chen Xunqi suddenly frowned, and suddenly realized: "The person who called me just now and hung up without saying anything was you, right?" ”。
Seeing that Chen Yongren nodded meaninglessly, Chen Xunqi opened his mouth but didn't say anything again, he shook his head helplessly, and said to Chen Yongren: "I'll introduce you to two ......."
Chen Xunqi pointed to the fat man next to him; "This is the royal screenwriter Huang Bingyao ...... of Brother Gold"; pointed to another person, "This is director Tan Jiamin's apprentice Wang Jiawei......."
Chen Yongren's eyes lit up, and he ran into these two people; Just thinking of this, I heard Chen Xunqi continue: "They are the screenwriters of my new movie......
Chen Yongren suddenly realized that Chen Xunqi was talking about "Goodbye to the Yiren"; Seeing that the latter was about to point to himself, he took the initiative to take a few steps forward and shook hands with the two; "There is still a lack of a manager in the editorial review department of my company, who is interested in the two?".
Chen Xunqi, Wang Jiawei and Huang Bingyao were dumbfounded......
