Since the news of Chen Tiandu's arrival in Hong Kong was exposed, more than 10 reporters have been watching several gates outside the Four Seasons Hotel 24 hours a day, making him have to change his thoughts. The original plan to taste a variety of Hong Kong delicacies was also put on hold.

The security guards of the hotel are like a great enemy, and they have stepped up their defense against the security work on the floor where Chen Tiandu lives, so as not to make international jokes. With Chen Tiandu's current attention, once the problem is in the hotel, the signboard of their Four Seasons Hotel will be smashed, and they naturally dare not be negligent.

Chen Tiandu also simply stayed at home, and all his work was handled in the hotel.

"Lao Chen, good news. I just received a phone call that the script has been reviewed on the radio and television side. Kong Yiji rushed into the room excitedly and said, "But China Film hopes that you can attend the premiere of "The Matrix" on October 1. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded, "It's indeed good news." After all, I am in China, so it is not impossible to attend the premiere...... How did they arrange it? ”

Kong Yiji shook his head, "I didn't say anything specific." However, the country is so urine, although our movies are introduced in a split account, even if the box office exceeds 100 million, it will be divided into 100 million US dollars. Moreover, the film was screened overseas more than two months earlier than in China, and the current pirates are so powerful that it is estimated that they have already released pirated discs with rough pictures. ”

"If this doesn't work, isn't there a way to curb piracy?" Chen Tiandu naturally knows the domestic situation, and the reason why domestic films are sluggish is all for pirates. In this era when it all depends on the audience's consciousness, the problem of piracy has been repeatedly banned, and Chen Tiandu asked Kong Yiji obviously in vain.

Now the global box office of "The Matrix" has approached $500 million last weekend, and it has set off a movie-watching boom in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. However, if the piracy problem is not suppressed, and high-definition Chinese translation pirated discs appear just after release, the box office will be tens of millions.

He pondered and wondered which drama would be successful in fighting piracy in the next few years...... looked for it, but found that the best thing was when Lao Mouzi's movie "Hero" was released a few years later. And their method of curbing piracy has also been traditional, and finding someone to guard it is like a life-and-death football game, and it is also a man-to-man tactic.

As a result, they really succeeded, and within a week of its release, they couldn't find a clear disc.

Chen Tiandu thought about it and felt that he still couldn't be indifferent, he did everything possible to let the movie be released in China, but not for that box office share. "Lao Kong, you go back to China now, cooperate with the bosses of China Film to discuss the premiere of the movie, and the most important thing is to establish a way to curb piracy."

Kong Yiji was stunned, "Is it necessary for us to be so serious?" China Film has been like this for so many years. ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly bared his teeth, raised his foot and kicked him in the ass, "Don't talk nonsense." This question must not be compromised, all you see is "The Matrix", but what are we going to do with the next movie? If "Infernal Affairs" was still like this when it was released, it would be better not to shoot it. ”

Kong Yiji knew that his brain was simple, so he rubbed his fat buttocks, which were getting more and more fleshy, and said, "Then you have a way to prevent piracy?" Find a law firm to report the crime one by one, and then stare at the police to do things? ”

"Huh?" Chen Tiandu's eyes lit up, "This method is not bad." ”

"No, it won't!" Kong Yiji shouted, "It will tire people to death." ”

Chen Tiandu said: "If we do it this time, then each movie will at least double the income in China in the future." People marking people is not a good way to do it, at least for a week, there should be no high-definition version of the disc with Chinese translation on the market. You can also unite with China Film, ask them what they mean, and if you are willing, you can report the two parties on the joint funding reward. As long as the report is verified, the whistleblower can get a bonus ranging from 5,000~10,000 yuan. If Zhongying doesn't pay for it, we can also figure it out ourselves, you keep an eye on this matter for me, don't be half-hearted. ”

"Got it, so I'm going to fly now? When are you going back...... Can you do it when I'm gone? "He's still in love.

Chen Tiandu said disdainfully: "Hey, I can't live without you, right?" Less nonsense, I can't leave now, I'll be back in two days, and Peck will be there tomorrow. ”

"Oh." Kong Yiji answered, and finally ran out of interfaces, and hurried back with people.

And Chen Tiandu's side quickly started work after Peck's arrival. They rented two floors of the building as a temporary office space, and after a short break, they held several meetings to talk about the preparation of the film.

Andy Lau's landlord this time can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, pushed all the work, and accompanied and participated in the whole process.

"That's right, Brother Hua. My crew still lacks a reliable costume designer, if I can, I would like to meet Miss Li Bijun, can Brother Hua help contact me. ”

"Yo, you have a good eye. Li Bijun just won the Golden Horse Award last year, and this year he won the Golden Image Award. Andy Lau approvingly: "I'll help you contact and ask about the situation first." ”

He said that the award was last year's Hong Kong blockbuster movie "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", probably thinking that Chen Tiandu knew Li Bijun about this, and Chen Tiandu did not explain. Niu Yingying, who came in while pouring coffee, heard it and asked, "Director, that Miss Li Bijun, is it my new teacher?" ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "It's possible, you have to learn hard from others." ”

Niu Yingying muttered: "I thought that people had been promoted to assistant director." ”

"Huh? What do you say, if you don't do a good fashion design major, you have to be a professional assistant. ”

"It's the assistant director." Niu Yingying retorted, "The position is higher." ”

"Heh......"

Everyone in the room laughed, Chen Tian was helpless, he really needed an assistant, and Niu Yingying was mostly responsible for taking care of it when there was no one before. Rubbing his nose and said, "Then I will examine you for a period of time, if you are not clever enough, I will fire people at any time." ”

"Really?" Niu Yingying was overjoyed, "Great, director, I will do it well." ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, and discussed with everyone about the shots and scenes, except for the makeup artist, no one else brought the photographer and makeup artist. The soundtrack can be put on hold, and the rest of the jobs, Peck has also begun to interview one by one.

“…… In addition, except for the two main actors, the rest of the roles are all undecided. "I don't know if there have been large-scale auditions for film roles in Hong Kong in the past, but I hope to have a formal audition to select the most suitable actors for the roles," Chen said. There are more than a dozen roles in total, with main supporting roles with many scenes, and supporting roles with several shots...... Although there are only a few shots, I don't want a novice who has never acted. It doesn't matter how much I get paid, as long as he fits my role. Of course, my focus on this drama is to consider the North American market and take into account the situation in the mainland. Therefore, I will not use all Hong Kong actors, but also insert a few young mainland actors. The situation of the role, I will give the information to Brother Hua later, and I hope that the news can be passed on through the Hong Kong Actors Guild......"

(PS: Maybe the story of "Infernal Affairs" Yu Zhuang and Mai had an idea in 97, but for the needs of the plot, the old donkey can only know it.) The world in the book, just a refreshing picture, there are some places that are not in harmony with the reality, there is no way, please do not delve into it, thank you!
