Chapter Forty-Eight: Being a Director Is Not Enough!

In addition to thinking of these, Ke Zihua also decided to set up his own film and television company!

What to shoot? Pure kung fu movies?

Of course, he is not naΓ―ve enough to think that he can dominate Hollywood by making one or two kung fu movies, and there is a good master in front of him at this point.

That is the famous director on Hong Kong Island, Wang Jiawei, who is good at making art films, and his Zedong Film and Television Company.

Since its establishment, Zedong Film and Television Company has been committed to shooting high-quality films with international standards, and shooting films with a meticulous and rigorous attitude.

Founded 23 years ago, Zedong Film and Television Company, although it has only made a total of 15 films, it is one of the top ten well-known film companies on Hong Kong Island, and has won numerous awards at major film and television festivals over the years!

Of course, Wang Jiawei and his Zedong Film and Television Company have also left many classic screen images for the majority of fans, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the creator of the classics in the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island.

From the original "Chongqing Forest", "Mong Kok Carmen", "The True Story of A Fei", "East Evil and West Poison" and "Springtime", and then to the later "In the Mood for Love", "2046" and "The Grandmaster".

Step by step, Wang Jiawei used his unique perspective to make pure, sad, or poignant art films, which also achieved his artistic path.

But it is impossible to make art films to get a high box office, it can be said that this is a money-burning business, especially Wang Jiawei, who is known for "grinding" and "shaft", how can he make money when he makes films? !

Except for "Mong Kok Carmen", all the films he made did not make any money!

When filming "Mong Kok Carmen", Wang Jiawei was still working for a film and television company, and later "A Fei" also caused the company to lose tens of millions, which greatly damaged its vitality.

But even so, his Zedong Film and Television Company has not been dragged down by him, but has been developing steadily.

Why is this so?

This is going to start with "East Evil and West Poison", when he was catching up with the fire of Jin Dada's martial arts drama, a boss found him and wanted to invest in martial arts films.

Wang Jiawei was very happy and agreed, but after more than half a year, he spent all the investors' money, but nothing was filmed. There was really no way, so he asked his partner, the famous director Liu Zhenwei, to save the scene.

As soon as Liu Zhenwei saw that the actors were ready-made, he filmed "East City and West West" in 28 days, officially this nonsensical comedy filmed temporarily to save the scene, and solved Wang Jiawei's urgent need.

Not only did the box office of the film be very good, but it also created a classic screen image.

At the same time, this also gave Wang Jiawei a great inspiration, and since then he has changed his previous strategy and adopted the method of making movies by raising films.

To put it bluntly, it is to make commercial films to make money, and then use the money to make money-losing literary films, so that you can not only achieve the purpose of making profits, but also realize your artistic dreams.

And in the later stage, Wang Jiawei's Zedong company also used its own advantages to shoot a lot of advertisements and became a famous advertising company on Hong Kong Island, which also brought them very rich benefits.

With such a senior as an example, Ke Zihua quickly sorted out his own development ideas.

Not only do he have to make Hollywood-style action movies, but also Jackie Chan's kung fu comedies, and of course, Bruce Lee-style pure kung fu movies must also be made!

He believes that as long as he can grasp this degree, he will definitely be able to gradually develop his company, and although most Hollywood-style animated films have relatively large investments, they will also have a good box office.

And because he is a stuntman himself, he will have a great advantage in cost control, plus he has more than ten years of vision than others, I believe that as long as he can invest in the film, he will have a good appearance.

And if he makes a kung fu movie, he will not have to grind off a lot of investment like Wang Jiawei in order to polish the artistic effect.

He could have tried to combine kung fu movies with Hollywood-style action movies so that he could achieve his goals and get enough box office, so why not?

But Rome was not built in a day, and he did not have such strength now, either in terms of ability, nor in terms of wealth and connections.

Only by doing the things at hand first and taking every step in a down-to-earth manner can you finally realize your ambitions.

After taking a sip of the tea that had been cooled, Ke Zihua said to himself: "It seems that I will learn more from John in the future, how to be a director." ”

"Jingle Bell"

The phone on the table rang, Ke Zihua took it and took a look, it turned out to be Su Luo calling.

After pressing the answer, Ke Zihua asked softly, "Hey, are you having fun?" What did you buy? ”

Su Luo's voice came from the other end of the phone: "We're eating on Robson Street, there is a noodle restaurant on Jiatai Island, it's very good." ”

"Hee-hee, I thought of you when I ate beef noodles, are you home now? Have you had lunch? ”

Ke Zihua replied with a smile: "I know the one you said, the beef noodles there are really good, so you can eat more." ”

"I'm at home, I'm not hungry yet, I'll get some food myself later."

Su Luo wanted to say a few more words, but Liu Qianwei snatched the phone and complained: "Stinky boy, you won't come back all night, and you won't make a phone call to tell us." ”

"The most hateful thing is that, like last time, your phone is turned off, and John's phone is also turned off! Hmph, next time I'll see how I clean you up. ”

Ke Zihua hurriedly made amends: "Hehe, didn't I forget, I'll tell you first next time." ”

Liu Qian snorted slightly: "Hmph, this is about the same, there are instant noodles in the refrigerator, you deal with it first, eat some, and let's celebrate again when we go back in the evening." ”

"Okay, auntie, then you can eat, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qianwei saw Su Luo pouting and looking at her with a strange expression.

He asked, "What's wrong?" Not happy? ”

Su Luo said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't finished speaking, you snatched the phone." ”

Liu Qianwei didn't care about that, and said toughly: "I did it on purpose, do you have any opinions?" ”

Su Luo lowered his head, stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and said unconvinced: "You are Fascist, you are the old witch." ”

Liu Qianwei was not angry at all, but laughed happily: "Haha, I'm an old witch, are you not convinced?" ”

"Auntie, I'm eighteen years old and already an adult, don't you want to be like this? I have my own freedom. ”

Looking at Su Luo teasingly, Liu Qian asked with a strange smile, "Do you dare to say this to your mother?" ”

"Amount"

Su Luo suddenly lost her temper, lowered her head and ate noodles silently, this is for her mother to know, she has to come over to watch her tomorrow.

Liu Qianwei saw him like this, and then said seriously: "I said a long time ago that I won't hinder you, but at least I have to wait until that stupid boy has something to say, right?" ”

Su Luo raised his head and showed a strange expression, "What does it mean?" ”

Liu Qianwei smiled helplessly: "Silly girl, look at it, you are exactly the same as I was at the beginning!" ”

"I ask you, did he tell you he liked you?"

"Nope"

"Did he say anything about his plans for the future?"

"Not either."

"Oh my God, he must have said something to you, right? For example, I gave you a small gift or something? ”

Su Luo shook his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head gently: "Although none of these have happened, I know that he likes me!" ”

Liu Qian patted her forehead weakly, "I didn't expect you to be even more stupid than me!" ”

Thinking of Ke Zihua, Su Luo felt a trace of sweetness in his heart, although he didn't say anything to himself. But Su Luo could read his mind from his gaze, she didn't want much, as long as he had her in his heart, it was enough.

"Auntie, it's not what you think, in fact, I can understand his mind."

"Don't you think it's good to like each other like this stupidly, free, without any purpose?"

Liu Qianwei didn't know what to say, she didn't expect Su Luo to fall so deeply, but she seemed to be very reasonable, "Silly, free, pure like, isn't it?" ”

Thinking of her own experience again, Liu Qianwei found that she could only bless them, and she could only pray for Su Luo, "I hope she can be luckier than me." ”

But she still said inwardly: "Hmph, this stinky boy dares to bully you, see how I clean him up!" ”

Su Luo was amused by her appearance, and also waved his fist, and echoed mischievously: "Yes, if he dares to bully me, auntie, you will help me teach him a lesson." ”

"Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze."

"It's cold, and I can't open the windows in the future."

"When they come back, you have to remind them not to forget to close the windows."

Ke Zihua, who was watching TV at home, sneezed three times in succession, then got up and walked to the window, muttering while closing the window.

Subsequently, Ke Zihua put on a thick coat and left the house to walk to the supermarket outside, Liu Qianwei said that he would celebrate in the evening, and he saw that there was no food in the refrigerator, so he planned to go to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables.

When I passed by the gate, I saw that Martin was on duty again, so I greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Martin, don't you have a weekend off?" ”

Martin still looked like he was blowing his beard and glaring, and said stiffly: "Hmph, we don't have a weekend to defend. ”

When his partner heard the movement outside, he also stuck his head out of the security room, pointed at Martin behind his back, and said with a smile: "Ke, don't pay attention to him, he has been trained by us again." ”

Ke Zihua shrugged his shoulders to show understanding, and walked in the direction of the supermarket without asking too much, although he was willing to be kind to others, it did not mean that he could accept the cold reception of others without restrictions.

Ke Zihua didn't have any guilt about what happened last time, he just felt that he would meet every day, and he didn't want to be too stiff.

Originally, he and Martin had no intersection, just because of a misunderstanding Ke Zihua taught him a lesson, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, he had shown favor to him, but he never let go, so there was no need to communicate.
