"The 'Asian Rising Star Guide Program' hasn't started for long, and Andy Lau has invested another 10 million in agent action movies."
"Andy Lau spent a lot of money in the mainland to support the works of new directors."
"Andy Lau collaborates with the youngest director in the mainland in a new film, which is actually a spy film!"
"Andy Lau starred in a domestic spy film, the director is 23 years old!"
・・・・・・
The next day, of course, the media was lively, and because of Liu Tianwang, Zhou Chunwang finally made entertainment headlines this time. Even Xiangjiang and Baodao reported the news. Only then did they find out that a 23-year-old director had quietly appeared on the other side of the shore?
And many companies that have contacted Star Pictures before regretted that Andy Lau actually invested? Is he going to star in this movie? If he comes to star, there is a great possibility of making money. Feng Xiaogang just said not long ago that if you want the box office of the movie to exceed 100 million, you have to find Andy Lau to play it.
China Film also contacted Zhou Chunwang as soon as possible to inquire about the specific situation, but Zhou Chunwang refused. He said that now Andy Lau is the producer, and now the main person in charge of pulling investment is Andy Lau.
Of course, Andy Lau also has people to inquire about the news with him, in fact, no matter what new actions Andy Lau has, someone will inquire about the news with him. The first to contact him was the Huayi brothers. Because Huayi Brothers is too familiar with him, "No Thieves in the World" has just been cooperated, and there will be a new movie "Ink Attack" starring him. Moreover, Wang Zhonglei, the president of Huayi Brothers, is also very familiar with him, so it can be said that it is like a phone call between friends, he directly called Andy Lau and asked about the specific situation.
Since Andy Lau has taken this matter over, of course he will do a good job in this regard, so Wang Zhonglei said in detail.
Wang Zhonglei was also surprised to hear that he did not star in "Uncle". Then I heard him say that he wanted to be the leading actor, but was rejected by the director, and Wang Zhonglei was even more surprised.
This director is amazing, Andy Lau dares to refuse, you must know that their Huayi brothers can't wait for Liu Tianwang to continue to cooperate with him. Therefore, "No Thieves in the World" quickly restarted the next project for Andy Lau.
However, speaking of Zhou Chunwang, in fact, Feng Xiaogang also mentioned it to him before, saying that this young man has ideas and ability, and he can consider signing in. As a result, as soon as I learned about it, I knew that I had opened a company, and I had a good cooperation with China Film, so I didn't pay attention to it anymore; I didn't want to go around in a circle, the other party and Zhongying seem to have a yellow relationship, so the Huayi brothers want to try to cooperate?
Wang Zhonglei felt that he could meet and talk about it first.
・・・・・・
This time, Zhou Chunwang took Su Zhiguo to meet with Andy Lau and Wang Zhonglei, but Wang Zhonglei was successfully persuaded and decided to sign a contract with Zhou Chunwang. Therefore, in the end, it was invested by three companies together, Huayi contributed 20 million, and the producer was Wang Zhonglei; Andy Lau and Fanxing Pictures each contributed 1000; Andy Lau is the producer, and the director is Zhou Chunwang. And Zhou Chunwang still didn't get paid this time, and once again took the form of account sharing.
But now Star Pictures only has 4 million, so what should I do? Of course, I still found someone to borrow money.
Zhou Chunwang will not be too pedantic about this, and he will definitely talk to his friends if necessary. And it will be returned to others as soon as there is money.
Everyone has good times, and there are times when they carry backs, and there is no shame in borrowing money from friends. It's a blessing to have friends who are willing to lend it to you, as long as you don't be the kind of person who owes money and doesn't pay it back.
Before, Han Han told him that he had 4 million to borrow him, so he looked for him. and then borrowed 2 million from Xu Yuan, and it was about the same.
Then there is the preparation of the movie, the first and most important thing is casting, and the first thing to determine is, of course, the actor.
・・・・・・
Almost everyone will think that Wu Yanzu is from Xiangjiang, but his parents are actually from Modu, and he himself was born and raised in the United States. In 1997, at the age of 23, he graduated from a university in the United States, majoring in architecture, and his academic grades were often top A+. This year, he was going to take a graduation trip in Asia, and it happened that Xiangjiang was "returning" for a while, so he planned to come to Xiangjiang to see the "return", and then go to Japan to find a friend. But at this time, he didn't have much money, and he was tall and handsome, so his sister suggested that he could go to a part-time model, and the money he earned could allow him to continue traveling.
As a result, Xiangjiang director Yang Fan saw him in a magazine, so he contacted him and asked him to star in his movie "Beautiful Boy's Love". But Wu Yanzu refused on the grounds that he had not studied acting and could not speak Cantonese (they communicated in English). didn't think that Yang Fan thought that he was the best candidate, so he called him every day and successfully persuaded him. So Wu Yanzu, who was originally going to go back to the United States to find a job and never thought of living in Asia, was changed his fate and became an actor in Xiangjiang from then on.
Wu Yanzu is a smart and serious person, so he can learn well when he studies architecture and design, and now he is studying acting, of course, he is also very successful. In the past seven or eight years, he has participated in dozens of works, some of which are good and bad, and the bad works were only released for a week; The good has already made him nominated for several Best Actor, and last year he played the villain in Chenglong's "New Police Story", and won a Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
And when he was resting in the hotel tonight, he suddenly received a call from Andy Lau, so he picked it up.
Wu Yanzu's first language was English, and then because his parents were from the Demon Capital, he could also speak the Demon Capital; He learned Cantonese and Mandarin over the years, as well as Spanish and a little Japanese. At this time, he spoke Cantonese to Andy Lau.
"Brother Hua." Wu Yanzu said.
"Azu, what have you been busy with lately?"
"It's been fine lately, but I just arrived in the mainland today."
"You're in the mainland?" Wu Yanzu's words surprised Liu Dehua, who wanted to greet first.
"yes, just arrived in the capital." Wu Yanzu said.
This sentence made Andy Lau even more speechless: "Is it so coincidental? ”
This also surprised Wu Yanzu, as if Andy Lau did have something important to look for him: "Brother Hua, you are also in the capital?" ”
"yes." Andy Lau simply said directly, "Since we are so fated, let's make an appointment to meet and talk tomorrow." ”
"What time is tomorrow? I have an appointment in the afternoon. Wu Yanzu said.
"What time is the afternoon?"
"Two points."
"That's okay, let's have a meal together, I'll introduce someone to you, and you can go to the appointment after eating."
"Okay."
So the two made an appointment for a time and place.
"Then we'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Hua."
So the two hung up the phone, although Wu Yanzu was curious about what Andy Lau was looking for him for, he didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, he would know tomorrow. But Andy Lau felt that Wu Yanzu had come too coincidentally, and he felt a little bad in his heart. (To be continued.) )
