That night, Chen Xuanting chartered the entire banquet hall at the Yanjing Hotel, and such a large amount of money made the whole hotel nervous and busy, especially the dishes ordered by Chen Xuanting were basically the best in the hotel.

It was precisely because of such a big customer that the hotel's senior management even took the initiative to contact Chen Xuanting and asked him what the hotel was lacking in and what still needed to be improved.

Chen Xuanting looked at the hotel senior management and just replied with a smile: "There is nothing wrong, if there is really something wrong, I will buy this hotel and rectify it slowly, instead of spending time discussing with you!" ”

"What do you mean?" The hotel executive said with a blurred face.

Chen Xuanting patted him on the shoulder: "I mean that my time is very precious, and it is not expensive to waste it on helping you improve the hotel!" ”

Hotel Executives: "......"

Looking at Chen Xuanting's back, in order to avoid being laughed at by the people around him, the high-level executive laughed and said: "What's the matter, you still have to buy this hotel, brag and don't make drafts!" ”

A person next to him suddenly whispered: "Boss, you can't say that, I heard that this Hong Kong people have a great background!" ”

"From, what's the origin, isn't it just a few stinky Hong Kong people!" Roll your eyes. "Delay his time, I'm too late to delay my own time!" The hotel boss took a sip of mineral water.

"Ahem. That person is rich, because he is the richest man in the world - Chen Xuanting! ”

"Poof!" The hotel boss who was drinking mineral water squirted out the water in one gulp. "What? You repeat, who is he? ”

"The richest man in the world - Chen Xuanting!"

"That 100 billion tycoon, a legend in the film industry?" The boss suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost a good opportunity just now, an opportunity to make friends with others. No wonder people will say that they delay the time, and a little leakage in the fingers of others is enough for them to eat for a lifetime!

Thinking of this, and thinking about the appearance of Chen Xuanting patting him on the shoulder just now, the hotel boss suddenly felt crispy all over his body, and what an honor it was to be patted on the shoulder by the world's No. 1 billionaire! At this moment, he had already thrown his previous complaints and dissatisfaction to the horizon.

On this night, the media in the entertainment industry in Yanjing suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, whether it is a famous director or actor in the mainland, they are all heading towards the same destination - Yanjing International Hotel.

Although the mainland entertainment reporters at this time are not as "paparazzi" as Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are also very curious to see so many big names collectively "migrating", so there was a very spectacular scene at the door of Yanjing International Hotel, including, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, Feng Xiaogang, as well as Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wenli, as well as Liu Xiaoqing, Siqin Gaowa and many other celebrities were all present. I saw them smiling one by one, or talking softly, or nodding, and then stepping on the red carpet of the hotel and walking in together.

The reporters next to him pressed the shutter of the camera very dedicatedly, cracked it, and took pictures of them.

Such a scene provoked some confused foreigners to mutter, "What's going on?" God, these Chinese are really strange, and eating a meal is like the Oscar red carpet! ”

No matter how others nag, those mainland filmmakers directly received a beautiful gift after entering the door, and when they opened it, it turned out to be a valuable gold pen, and what surprised everyone was that their name was engraved on the gold pen!

As a filmmaker in the mainland, basically they all have a surname, in a fairly pure environment - if you give them something particularly expensive, they will feel a little too "coppery", and this time Chen Xuanting chose a gold pen as a gift with ulterior motives, and engraved the name of each of them, although it is just a small matter, but I can see his carefulness. Ling De couldn't help but sigh for everyone.

Looking at the hall again, the traditional Chinese banquet ceremony has already been set up, with red curtains, antique tables of eight immortals, waitresses wearing red cheongsams, and elegant music of "Mountains and Flowing Water", everything seems so high-end and full of elegance.

Everyone sat down one by one, and at this time, the waiter stepped forward and helped them pour the Longjing tea on the West Lake, and the fragrance of tea immediately filled the entire hall.

Just when everyone was talking softly, they saw a burst of greetings not far away, but accompanied by the two great directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, Chen Xuanting, as the host, walked in gently holding the jade hand of the beautiful Gong Li.

"This one is the legendary 100 billion tycoon Chen Xuanting, I didn't expect to be so young!" The director with the most stinky temper, Jiang Wen, said.

"I heard that he is quite talented, and he writes scripts very well, and I don't know if he likes Wang Shuo's novels, if you like it, you can also invest a little in me!" Feng Xiaogang, who had big teeth, said hopefully.

"Feng pants, don't dream, even if Boss Chen really wants to invest, it is also an investment in Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's movie, how can such a good thing be cheap for you?" Jiang Wen, who has always liked to talk with Feng Xiaogang next to him, said.

"You won't pick up some nice ones to say, if I become a director, I will invite you Jiang Wen to be the leading actor!"

"Come on, I can't shoot the scene directed by your Feng pants!" Jiang Wen said with a smile.

At this time, Chen Xuanting had already walked towards their table after introducing the others.

Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang immediately stood up.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Wen!" Chen Xuanting stretched out his hand and smiled at Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen was excited in his heart, look, other world-class tycoons actually know me! It seems that I, Jiang Wen, am not without fame.

Feng Xiaogang next to him was jealous, and he didn't know what luck this Jiang Wen had, but he was recognized by Chen Xuanting - he hadn't come back to his senses yet, Chen Xuanting said again: "You are the great director Feng Xiaogang!" ”

Feng Xiaogang: "......"

After being stunned for a few seconds, he reacted, immediately held Chen Xuanting's hand, and said excitedly: "I don't dare to be a big director, I'm just a fledgling and unknown person now, and I'll give Boss Chen a lot of help in the future!" ”

In fact, Feng Xiaogang is indeed not famous now, otherwise he would not have eaten Jiang Wen's vinegar, but now Chen Xuanting recognized him at once, which couldn't help but make Feng Xiaogang a little surprised, and a little happy, as for Chen Xuanting saying that he is a big director, in Feng Xiaogang's opinion, people are just saying polite words, and he doesn't dare to take it seriously. At this time, where would Feng Xiaogang know that twenty years later, he would become one of the most valuable and powerful directors in Chinese mainland.

After shaking hands with everyone, Chen Xuanting walked straight to the stage arranged in the banquet hall, with a microphone standing on it.

Chen Xuanting straightened the microphone with his hand, and then said: "First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to come here to participate in this dinner; This time, I would like to thank Director Wu Tianming, Director Chen Kaige, Director Zhang Yimou, etc., for inviting so many mainland film colleagues! ”

Chen Xuanting applauded gently, and the people below also responded politely.

The applause fell, and Chen Xuanting continued: "As for why I want to hold this grand dinner this time, the purpose is very simple, I want to get to know you and be friends with you!" Compared with before, some of the friends here already have some understanding of our Thunder Group, but I don't think it's enough, now I will give you a specific introduction! ”

Next, Chen Xuanting introduced the entertainment companies under the Thunder Group to everyone one by one, and invited everyone to go to Hong Kong when they have time, and he will help them arrange everything, including round-trip air tickets!

As soon as a smart person heard Chen Xuanting's words, he understood that there must be a deep meaning, and he introduced his company in such detail, unless he had one purpose, that is, Chen Xuanting continued on the stage: "The reason why I want to invite everyone to Hong Kong to see our company is also for only one purpose, that is, I hope everyone can understand that joining Thunder is definitely the most correct choice for you!" ”

"Join the Thunder?"

"Won't it?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Is that okay?"

...... "That's absolutely possible!" Chen Xuanting suddenly smiled, "Please rest assured, I won't let you leave your hometown to follow me back to Hong Kong to film, I have already planned it." I'm going to open an entertainment company in Yanjing, and everyone who is doing it is a shareholder of this company! ”

"What? Shareholder? Did I hear me right? ”

"Really? Can we be bosses too? ”

"Not in... Just kidding, right? ”

............ "I'm definitely not kidding! Chen Xuanting said firmly on stage, "I know that everyone is a very famous filmmaker, some are directors, some are actors, some are screenwriters, and some are photographers - what I want to tell you is that as long as you are willing, we can all work together to start a business and build our dreams on the same stage, with you, me, and everyone!" ”

"Although we are very old, long past the age of chasing dreams, what I want to say is that no matter how old we are, whether our youth has been lost or not, whether our passion is still there, what we can do now is to stand up and say loudly - I will not admit defeat!"

"Don't admit defeat!"

"Never admit defeat!"

"I'm going to fulfill my dream!"

"I want to be the best director!"

"I want to be the best actor!" …… Everyone stood up, shouting in a roar.

Looking at Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Liu Xiaoqing and many other powerful directors and stars in the mainland in the future, who are all excited by their own enthusiasm at the moment, and inspire the Sisthics, Chen Xuanting suddenly has a star in his hand, and I have the pride of the world!

……………………… In this way, under this feast planned by Chen Xuanting, including well-known mainland directors Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang and others, as well as famous movie stars Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Liu Xiaoqing, Siqin Gaowa, etc., were all persuaded by him to join the new company set up by Thunder Group in Yanjing - Yanjing Thunder Entertainment Company in the mode of shareholding.

Andy Lau, who witnessed the whole process in person, couldn't help but admire Chen Xuanting, look, a simple feast has simply wiped out all the big stars in Yanjing City, just ask such a big deal, except for Chen Xuanting, who can do it? !

Of course, Chen Xuanting will not personally inquire about the business of establishing a new company, he has to rush to Guilin to shoot "Avatar", so he called Hong Kong and asked his lover Qiu Shuzhen to take a plane to handle the matter. Qiu Shuzhen once set up a company in Guangdong, and she is also comfortable with this kind of thing.

After a brief meeting, Chen Xuanting told Qiu Shuzhen about the focus of the newly established company, of course, the two were outside of business, and it was inevitable that Xiao Biesheng would linger on the newlywed, and afterwards Chen Xuanting took a plane directly and rushed to Guilin!

I have to say that the filming process of the drama "Avatar" was difficult, the actors' performances were painful, and Chen Xuanting, as the director, was anxious. However, as time slowly progressed, finally, it was time for the drama to be completed. At that moment, he couldn't find champagne, so Chen Xuanting replaced it with beer, raised the bottle, and drank it all with everyone!

Boils!

Scream!

This is the lineup of the film's final moment.

Back in Hong Kong, Chen Xuanting held a publicity meeting and distributed posters and movie footage for his big-budget movie. One of the most important links is the promotion of "Avatar" in the newly released 3D movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", after all, both dramas belong to 3D movies that lead the trend of technology and have something in common.

Sure enough, through this kind of publicity, while "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was a big hit in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, the call for the upcoming release of "Avatar" was getting louder and louder.

In fact, there is no need for Chen Xuanting to do this, after all, the 300 million US dollar big production, anyone wants to see it!

Therefore, when Chen Xuanting was doing the post-release promotion, there was an incredible phenomenon in the whole Hong Kong - the tourism range of the whole Hong Kong soared like a rocket, and the only purpose of these locals who rushed to Hong Kong was to see the 3D blockbuster "Avatar" that cost a huge amount of 300 million yuan to produce quickly!

These people come from Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Yueben, Singapore, South Korea, but also the United Kingdom, France, and even the United States!

It can't be said that it is not a miracle that a movie can boost Hong Kong's tourism industry!

June 25, 1995. On Wednesday, the day was a test screening for Avatar. Chen Xuanting is determined to continue the advantage of the test screening, and in Hong Kong, no underworld will dare to steal the record, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

"Avatar" is a powerful blow to Hollywood movies by Chen Xuanting, and he wants to announce this film that the Hong Kong film industry can also make such a powerful sci-fi effect without relying on the power of Hollywood.

In fact, Chen Xuanting has always been extremely disdainful of the media's claim that a certain film is to find a special effects company or special effects personnel who produce the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" to do this kind of remark, and those media people don't understand the truth that the price is different, the effect is different. If you spend 30 million on special effects for a movie, it's absolutely different from 10 million for special effects. And it's never just one, it's a whole team, a team that is absolutely so big that we can't even imagine it.

Before the official release of "Avatar", there were still several commercials, including two tech commercials. followed by a trailer, in which the Hong Kong film industry paid more and more attention to the advocacy of Chen Xuanting.

Chen Xuanting is not stupid enough to edit a few clips and shots in the film like CCTV, and that is the trailer. For trailers, he has always liked to be elaborate, made by the director himself, and edited by professional trailer personnel.

This trailer is the trailer for "100,000 Urgent" -- it's a 30-second trailer. The first thing that came to mind was a skyscraper, as well as a bustling crowd on the street.

There is a subtitle on it: "This is our usual life, but who knows that the crisis lurks at this moment......"

The scene quickly switched, it was still the same busy street scene just now, but suddenly, a gas tank exploded, and flames rose from the skyscraper!

Broken glass, people screaming, make up an image of disaster.

What's even more interesting is that the theater faintly resounded with the sound of flames crackling, hinting at the fire of "One Hundred Thousand Urgent". Again, the subtitle is typed: "That's the scariest thing!" Then the title was hit.

The film officially begins, and the words of Chen Xuanting's work are displayed on it. In fact, this is an unwritten rule, under normal circumstances, the parties need to be conscious, if they have box office appeal, or are good at winning awards, they can type this paragraph. Of course, there are also thick-skinned people, but this kind of person is often looked down upon by insiders. This is naturally that the connoisseur is very angry, and the consequences are serious.

As a result, there are absolutely very few people who dare to put such a personal label like Chen Xuanting. This is a symbol of identity and status, Tsui Hark can fight, John Woo can also fight, and Jackie Chan, who successfully directed "Police Story" and "Plan A".

Jackie Chan dares to play such a label for a reason, and it is completely logical. As we all know, the power of popular actors in Hong Kong in history is even greater than that of directors, and Jackie Chan himself is more popular among the red, plus his personal style is so strong that it cannot be suppressed, and the director can't show his own style at all, so the statement that Jackie Chan's works is absolutely reasonable.

As a director, Chen Xuanting definitely doesn't like this kind of actor. The director's needs for actors are different with different films and themes, for example, "Lonely Men and Widows" is an entertainment film, Johnny To chose Andy Lau, and when filming personal style works such as "Gunfire" and "PTU", Johnny To will adjust the actors with the style of the film.
