374 Complex Hong Kong entertainment circle
This time, I didn't choose a big hotel like Shangri-La, which is more upscale, but it doesn't have the atmosphere of everyone sitting together and having a lively meal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The hotel was booked by someone from the crew's side, and a red banner was placed at the front desk. When Liu Anran and the other main creators arrived here, there were already reporters squatting here, and they were really powerful.
Liu Anran pressed his hat, and as soon as he was short, he slipped past these reporters. With Andy's bright signboard, it was easy to avoid the interception of these reporters.
"The reporters are still guessing your identity, but I didn't expect you to slip through again." Seeing Liu Anran easily walking into the banquet hall, Liu Weiqiang said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm a newcomer, no one will notice my presence. Tell me who these two are. Liu Anran said with a smile after a joke.
In fact, he knew the two people sitting here, this is To Qifeng who Andy invited over, but he didn't expect him to bring a slightly legendary You Dazhi. There are not many movies by You Dazhi, but each one is very interesting.
"These two are Director Du and Director You of Galaxy Imaging invited by Andy, and their Galaxy Images are the mainstay of our Hong Kong films." Liu Weiqiang introduced with a smile.
"Today is considered to be seeing the true god, and I like the films of both directors very much." After shaking hands with the two of them respectively, Liu Anran said with emotion.
"Andy, you are so polite, congratulations to your company on getting the right to introduce overseas films." After sitting down, Du Qifeng said with a smile.
"Thank you. In fact, it's just that we are lucky, and China also intends to increase the competitiveness of the film, so we will get this opportunity. Liu Anran nodded and said modestly.
It seems that Du Qifeng has also done a certain background understanding of his side, and this news has just been announced, and he already understands it very clearly. But this is normal, after all, this is also a big event in the entertainment industry.
"You already know each other? Then I don't need to introduce it anymore. At this time, Andy, who had finished the interview, also came over.
"I'm wondering if tomorrow's news will focus on our gathering, not to mention that it occupies half of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. I don't know what script Director Du plans to work with me this time? Liu Anran asked after a joke.
"It's mainly about a warrior monk with some bizarre abilities. This was inspired by the Big Buddha we had seen during filming in the mainland, and my partner Wai Ka-fai thought it would be nice to have Andy play it. Du Qifeng said.
"Andy called me and told me briefly what you had discussed. That's why I came up with this idea, this film will work with you to strengthen the communication between the two sides. ā
Liu Anran nodded, but he didn't expect it to be "Big Guy", that is, the film that was renamed "Big Man with Great Wisdom" after it was released in China.
He was a little hesitant, mainly because this film involved China Star Film Company. When mentioning this company, it will inevitably involve the character Xiang Huaqiang. And once he is involved, then what was originally a simple matter will become complicated.
It's not that Liu Anran will be afraid of Xiang Huaqiang, but there is a good saying, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Xiang Huaqiang has been entrenched in the Xiangjiang film and television circle for many years, and naturally has a strong influence, but the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is still quite complicated.
"Director Du, I don't know if this film will involve the rest of the troubles when it is being produced?" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Anran still asked directly.
Hearing Liu Anran's words, Du Qifeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Andy, don't worry, there will be no interference in this matter." It's just a simple film, and it won't involve too much of it. ā
"That's good, because in my heart, movies have always been movies. The purpose of making a movie is to make money, but the premise is to make a good movie. Liu Anran nodded.
"To be honest, I have heard a lot of negative news about the film and television industry in Hong Kong. So even if I will increase my investment in the film and television industry in Hong Kong, I will do it cautiously, and I don't want to bother me with something inexplicable. ā
"It's like before we started the camera this time, there were even old boys who came to make trouble. I always thought that they wouldn't be as simple as just collecting protection money, but the matter is over, and I don't account too much. ā
Everyone here is somewhat embarrassed, in fact, this is also a problem that every crew in Xiangjiang has to face. Even if you say hello to the leading characters when you shoot on location, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not eye-opening to collect some money and spend money. This is a common thing, but this time the people who came to make trouble didn't expect to kick the iron plate and let the officials intervene.
"Enron, in fact, the reason why I plan to cooperate with you is to ask you to help recommend a better mold making company. I'm not that big, and I wanted to make it more realistic this time. Andy said.
"No problem, I'll get you in touch with that. Although it is not guaranteed to be the top makeup artist in Hollywood, it will definitely be a first-class makeup artist. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"One thing I want to remind is that, after all, the environment in China is different from that of Xiangjiang. Therefore, if this film wants to be released in China, it should also be paid attention to when shooting. Just like "Infernal Affairs", which we are filming, I can guarantee a smooth release in China, but a premise is that it must meet the standards of domestic release. ā
He could think that the reason why he chose to cooperate with him this time was that being able to release it in China was also an important consideration. But he is not omnipotent, and even the "Infernal Affairs" that he invested in has to make certain changes.
Liu Weiqiang nodded, at this point, he had already been mentally prepared.
Now that the film and television industry in Xiangjiang is not in a good climate, many people have set their sights on the mainland, but his current attitude is to wait and see for the time being. This time I plan to cooperate with Liu Anran, which is also an attempt. If the cooperation is successful, more cooperation can be carried out in the future.
Another consideration is Liu Anran's identity in the United States.
There are too few good scripts now, and if you plan to remake foreign movies in the future, it will be much easier to buy the copyright with Liu Anran as a medium.
Plates of dishes were served, and everyone turned from business to small talk. The most active is Andy, who strung together the whole scene. Wei Tsai became a little silent again, only occasionally agreeing to a sentence. (To be continued.) )
