Chapter 824 - Scene 824 All-Star Gathering

Whether it is the mainland, Taiwan, or Hong Kong, when people see the list of dream actors composed of Hong Kong's performing arts elites, Li Xiaole and Ha Ji Yuan, they can't help but feel excited......

Sohu, Sina portals, as well as Tianya, Iron Blood Network and other large forums, or Sina Weibo, all fans are ecstatic for this news~! left messages of support for Li Xiaole.

"OMG! This is the gathering of all the elites of the Hong Kong TV and film industry! Li Xiaole is going to lead Hong Kong to counterattack Hollywood this time! "How many years~! Finally looking forward to a big-budget martial arts film~! Awesome! "Finally the fuck there's hope! Zhang Guorong, Li Lianjie, Zheng Shaoqiu, Liang Chaowei, Huang Rihua played the five uniques, this is really amazing~! This is even more fierce than the regathering of the wireless 'Five Tigers'!! "Li Xiaole didn't say anything big, this time it is definitely the domestic drama with the highest production specifications in history, in addition to Li Xiaole, which director has such a great appeal in the industry!?"

Although everyone had heard of Li Xiaole filming martial arts films before, no one expected that he would be able to find so many Hong Kong stars to play supporting roles for them, you must know that the audience on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places of the road are all looking at Huang Rihua, Zheng Shaoqiu These Hong Kong stars in the TV series Zhang Da, when "Chu Liuxiang" and "Qiao Feng" appeared in the Condor Shooting to play one of the "Five Uniques of the Condor Shooting", this scene is fascinating just in my mind!

Not to mention Liu Qingyun, Miao Qiaowei, Leung Jiahui, Huang Qiusheng, these actor-level people play supporting roles, which is almost the strongest lineup that can be theoretically discharged in Hong Kong at present......

This is definitely a big event that makes anyone who grew up watching Hong Kong films get their blood boiling!! Tianya netizens reposted the official vote of the pirate station, calling: "If it is Chinese, go and top the new "Condor Shooting"!" Soon, this voting option spread rapidly from forums, QQ groups, and the Internet, jumping from 500,000 to 2.5 million overnight, and 83.7 percent of people chose "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is worth looking forward to.

More than half of the votes were cast from Chinese ...... This made many American fans feel stunned......

The big reversal of this vote made the pirate station feel very shocked, and the most opposed to the filming of this series, the minister of finance, Eddie Jones, knew about this matter, and couldn't help muttering: "These Chinese, do you think this is an NBA All-Star vote...... "In the past, this kind of thing would only happen every time Yao Ming was selected for the All-Star team, but I didn't expect it to happen in the Pirate Station this time...... These Chinese are just terrible......

In the midst of the overwhelming support of the Chinese people and the polarization of public opinion in North America, Li Xiaole also returned to Hong Kong at the last project meeting, and reported the news of the weekly drama of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the heads of TVB, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, and Zeng Zhiwei, Cheng Long and all the actors.

In addition to Li Lianjie who did not attend the public welfare activities, Zheng Shaoqiu, Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Huang Qiusheng, Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Bozhi All the Hong Kong actors who participated in this time gathered together for the first gathering of the crew......

Hearing Li Xiaole announce the news in the conference room, everyone was silent for a long time, and everyone felt that Li Xiaole was a little too risky this time, although the contract was signed and led by Pirate TV, but TVB and the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association mobilized all their network resources to convene such a cast, and now if you tell these actors that they may be able to shoot two episodes and go home, it would be too nonsense......

But everyone can't criticize Li Xiaole for anything, because after all, he is an investment, you must know that the pirate station has already prepared the script, venue, and resources for filming 30 episodes, if only two episodes are filmed, the biggest loss is undoubtedly Li Xiaole and the pirate TV station itself.

After being silent for a while, Shao Yifu, the head of TVB, raised his electric wheelchair and said a few vague words in Cantonese, Fang Yihua translated:

"Mr. Shao said, this is your drama, you are in charge, how to do it is your business, you just have to do it...... But you have to be more restrained in your life and work, and if you publicize it in the media, it will attract too much right and wrong, and you have to understand this......"

After speaking, Shoyiv came over and patted Li Xiaole's shoulder gently, and left in a wheelchair, which means "You are so self-conscious." ”

No matter how dissatisfied, Li Xiaole's things have already been done, and now it is to catch the ducks on the shelves, what else can TVB say......

"Le Zai, are you really confident......" Zeng Zhiwei looked at Li Xiaole with a solemn face and asked, if the series is interrupted, then the face and vitality of the Hong Kong entertainment industry this time may be greatly damaged, and the dignity of Hong Kong films is the last.

"I invest $6 million per episode, and I will sign a contract with each actor for 30 episodes," Li Xiaole replied with a smile.

"Understood, you pay the money, we pay the people, you are not afraid, what are we afraid of, even if we lose, it is just a loss of this face." Cheng Long was also relieved when he heard this, at least Li Xiaole really wanted to fight once, and he also nodded: "Okay, we should be preparing for the press conference in Beijing now, now the media can't wait, if we don't say anything, I'm afraid there will be rumors again." ”

"The press conference is going to be held, but it is not in Beijing." Li Xiaole shook his head and said in a calm tone: "We are going to Los Angeles to open it, and I have rented a Chinese theater to hold this press conference." "This is the first time he has used a Chinese work in North America, and of course it needs to be more formal.

"To Los Angeles?" Cheng Long couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this, Li Xiaole's intentions were good, but it was obviously too ostentatious to do so.

"We still have some influence in the Chinese-speaking community, but in the United States, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to invite so many reporters by then. Cheng Long also rarely showed embarrassment, and it was the first time that a Chinese film went to Los Angeles to hold a press conference...... You must know that this is not a movie, there is no film festival, the support of the organizing committee, and the development of the conference by itself, if there is no American media to participate, isn't it collapsed before the filming momentum?

"I think it's more appropriate to open in Beijing or Hong Kong." Zheng Shaoqiu, who has the highest ranking among the actors, also gently said, and the older generation of Hong Kong actors such as Huang Rihua and Liu Songren also echoed this proposal.

Actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are used to keeping a low profile, and everyone thinks that Li Xiaole's style is too flamboyant, and if it fails, then these early high-profile films will become jokes, Hong Kong and mainland co-productions are not without luxurious casts, but what is the result? What's more, facing the North American audience this time, all the actors feel that they have no confidence in their hearts.

This sounds ridiculous, but this is the truth, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has a transcendent sense of superiority over the mainland, and every time they come to the mainland, they are extremely respected, and even some outdated actors can make a lot of money in the mainland, but they can ...... Hollywood They have a natural inferiority complex......

Even superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie play the role of clowns or villains in Hollywood...... Most people can't even mix up a small supporting role, and now they are treated as first-line stars, except for Nicholas Tse and Zhang Bozhi, who are full of interest, other middle-aged actors are a little uneasy.

You must know that the famous Chinese theater can hold a press conference, but it is the treatment that only Hollywood super blockbusters have, and they are small roles that no one knows in the United States, can there really be reporters to interview and pay attention to them?

Li Xiaole looked at the more than a dozen Hong Kong actors in the conference room with different expressions, and many of them showed worried and uneasy expressions, obviously lacking confidence in him, the director, and the crew, many actors even muttered and complained in private, even Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Songren and other old-timers shook their heads frequently, feeling that it was a little inappropriate for him to do this.

Looking at everything that happened in the conference room, Li Xiaole also felt a little headache, after all, he was a junior, for these big stars in Hong Kong, he couldn't say whatever he wanted to say before, this kind of morale was really something he didn't expect, and when he was a little helpless, he suddenly felt a hand behind him patting his shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw that Zeng Zhiwei, who was short in stature, had already stood up.

He didn't say anything immediately, but just looked around slowly with a cold face, looking at these TVB-born actors, until they felt a little embarrassed and turned their eyes to their side, Zeng Zhiwei looked at it and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, today is the first time that the seniors of Director Li TVB have met, I know that most of you don't know Director Li very well, only because of the sixth uncle, Brother Cheng Long and I came here, and many people feel very aggrieved because of their supporting roles."

Zeng Zhiwei paused, and saw that many people showed embarrassed expressions, and then said slowly:

"I know that you are worried, worried that Director Li will smash this scene, worried that he is just using your fame to achieve his own personal goals, which will affect your prestige in the Chinese community for many years, and I feel that I will definitely fail in the United States...... And I don't feel ...... I understand all of this.

But including me and Director Li, all the Chinese directors feel that in fact, they have always felt that everyone here is no worse than American actors, you just lack an opportunity, whether it is Brother Cheng Long, or you, many people have complained to me that Hong Kong film and television are declining too fast, you complain that no one invests in this industry, and the government does not support it......
