Chapter 36: Buy One Get One Free
Han Ziguang touched the place where Guan Zhilin had kissed and shook his head, fortunately no one paid attention, otherwise it would probably be in the headlines.
Leslie Cheung was also very surprised, he didn't expect Han Ziguang's film to be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, which is much more famous than the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
The reason for this is that the Qing Dynasty closed the country and finally opened the door by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Xiangjiang has been a British colony for a long time, and has always been a second-class citizen, so it naturally has a different sense of worship for foreigners.
Because of this, Han Ziguang quietly won the invitation to the Cannes Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, even if he did not win the award, but it is definitely a commendable thing. After all, Li Jiacheng became the owner of Hutchison Whampoa with Cheung Kong Industrial in 79 years, and was basically regarded as a national hero, and if Han Ziguang can win a big award in the world, it is estimated that he will be blown up.
Han Ziguang didn't care much about those false names, but more about actual interests, but he could take advantage of this to hype up. "Shop" is a small-budget movie, and it's not good to hype it up. At the same time, Han Ziguang is also aware of a problem, the current movies basically rely on big stars to support the scenes, and basically don't care much about publicity, in fact, he thinks that the publicity of movies is more important.
As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that if a movie does not have a big star to support the scene, it will basically become cannon fodder, which is really a very terrible thing, and it is also the reason why the salary of movie stars was inflated later.
Light and Shadow Entertainment Company, there will basically be no more than ten movies a year, that is to say, most of the time other companies' movies will be released, so it shows the importance of film promotion, sometimes it is a scumbag film, as long as the publicity is in place, the box office will naturally not be less.
In fact, Night. "Shop" has now been fully promoted in "Light and Shadow Entertainment Fashion Magazine", and it has become popular before it is released, especially those comic fans of Han Ziguang, it is also very much looking forward to seeing idols performing on the big screen, and I have to say that he is also a group of loyal fans.
Han Ziguang took Guan Zhilin's dishonest hand away, and then continued to write his own script, although Gao Zhisen taught him how to write a script, but he still liked his own way very much, of course, he would also use some words to replace some scenes.
The Xiangjiang Film Awards began under the auspices of the hosts Zeng Zhiwei and Xiao Fangfang, and I have to say that the current Xiangjiang Film Awards still have many shortcomings, and the winners are not as excited as they imagined, and the people below are not so enthusiastic.
Seeing such a situation, Han Ziguang couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, it seems that the current Xiangjiang Film Awards still have a long way to go, and I have to say that the pride of Xiangjiang filmmakers has not yet been cultivated, and the next thing is basically the performance show time of the crew of "Running to the Angry Sea".
"Brother Rong, do you feel disappointed?" Han Ziguang looked at Mecca and Hong Jingbao holding the little gold man on the stage, and then looked at Leslie Cheung, who was also nominated but gained nothing, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! As long as you believe in yourself and sharpen your acting skills, you will definitely not be worse than them. β
"Thank you! I'm fine. Leslie Cheung smiled and said: "I'm not so fragile yet, and I also know that my acting skills need to be strengthened." β
"Really?" Han Ziguang smiled slightly, I have to say that Leslie Cheung's attitude is very correct, and he said with a smile: "I believe there will be many opportunities in the future." β
"Hmmm! Thank you very much, Guangzai, for giving me the opportunity to participate in "The True Colors of Heroes". Leslie Cheung also smiled and said.
Time passed quickly, today's Xiangjiang Film Awards was broadcast by TongguΓ² TVB, and that night also caused a miracle in ratings, it is obvious that the citizens of Xiangjiang also like to watch the excitement, so that TVB has tasted the sweetness, and the investment next year will definitely be greater.
After the Xiangjiang Film Awards ended, it was already eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, after Han Ziguang and Guan Zhilin said goodbye to Leslie Cheung, they walked towards the place that Wu Yusen had made an appointment, and Wu Yusen did not live up to his expectations, and directly asked Lin Zhengying out, and at the same time, there was another person, he also felt a little familiar, and at this time Lin Zhengying was still an action director, occasionally playing tricks in Hong Jingbao's films.
"Boss! Let me introduce you to you, this is Lin Zhengying, this is Liu Guanwei, they are all my friends! Wu Yusen smiled at Han Ziguang and said.
What the? Buy 1 get 1 free? Han Ziguang was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Liu Guanwei's name, he remembered that Liu Guanwei was the director of "Mr. Zombie", and he originally wanted to support Lin Zhengying, but now it's good, he doesn't have to worry about it.
"Hello Mr. Han!" Liu Guanwei hurriedly greeted Han Ziguang and said: "I happen to have an idea now, it is a zombie film, if I can, I hope Mr. Han can invest, and the script is almost done." β
"Oh!? We'll talk about that later, and if the script is good, I'll invest in it. Han Ziguang nodded and said with a smile: "I have already booked a table at the hotel, how about everyone eating and chatting together?" And I'd love to hear Mr. Lin's thoughts. β
"Thank you, Mr. Han!" Liu Guanwei hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time said to Lin Zhengying: "A-Ying, why don't you say hello to Mr. Lin?" β
"Hello Mr. Lin!" Lin Zhengying looked a little nervous, he had done martial arts instruction for Bruce Lee before, and those years were when the spring breeze was proud, but unfortunately after Bruce Lee died, his status plummeted, and he joined the Hong family class, although Hong Jingbao was also good to him, but he was not less excluded, after all, he was also an outsider, and he robbed many people's jobs.
"Good!" Han Ziguang smiled and nodded in response, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, if your new script is good, I think it is feasible to have Mr. Lin as the leading actor, of course, Director Liu and Mr. Lin are interested in joining my company." β
"Mr. Han! Yes, we are willing to join. Liu Guanwei was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly promised.
Liu Guanwei's wish is to be a director, but unfortunately it backfired, and Hong Jingbao had no chance to make a film at all, this time he was also quietly preparing the script when filming "Beware of Little Hands", but unfortunately others were not optimistic, he heard that Han Ziguang was going to dig Lin Zhengying this time, so he recommended himself.
Lin Zhengying originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, although he won the honor of the best action director today, but everyone knows that this is the victory of Hong Jiaban, and it basically has nothing to do with himself, after all, the first one is Hong Jingbao, and basically there is no chance to get ahead.
