Yang Lin did not delay too long in Japan, and after arranging the filming of "The Witch Home Delivery Service", he left for Hong Kong. To be honest, he doesn't like these Japanese manga movies very much, but this genre is very popular in Japan, and it is still a very good choice for the most money-making machine. Yang Lin's ultimate goal is, of course, 3D classics such as "Toy Story" and "Ice Age".

He came in a hurry and hurried away, making Sakai a resentful meal. Because of the contract under the banner of "Red Star Animation Studio", Noriko Sakai got the opportunity to sing the theme song "With You" of "Castle in the Sky". With her soft and clear voice, beautiful melody that makes people cry and beautiful rhythm that touches the heartstrings, this song quickly became popular all over Japan, and Sakai Noriko also became popular and became a rising supernova in the Japanese music scene.

Originally, Matsuda Seiko's suggestion made Sakai a little hesitant and unwilling, but now she understands that that handsome man really has the ability to turn stone into gold. Just one song has allowed him to reach a realm that many predecessors in the music industry have been unable to reach in their lifetime, if he can always get Yang Lin's support, where will he go? But Yang Lin left in a hurry, and he didn't even give her the opportunity to dedicate himself, how could he not let the young and beautiful little girl have a little grudge?

Of course, Yang Lin didn't know that there was such a beautiful thing waiting for him, otherwise he would definitely put everything aside and enjoy this sweet pastry first.

Yang Lin returned to Red Star Pictures and began to set up the crew of "Die Hard".

Fortunately, the talent reserve has done well in recent years, so it is not overstretched because of the simultaneous filming of three dramas.

Yang Lin himself served as director and action director. The photographer has become Liu Weiqiang, and there are suitable candidates for other positions. The key is that Yang Lin can be regarded as an "all-round" director, as long as he can get separated. All the work in the crew can be perfectly seated.

"Die Hard" is an action blockbuster, so special effects are the top priority. Therefore, Yang Lin gathered all the people in the stunt team and appointed Luo Lixian as the stunt director to coordinate and manage the stunt effects of this movie.

Wei Jiahui was depressed.

Since resigning from TVB and coming to Red Star Pictures, my luck is not good. First, Yang Lin went to the United States to shoot "The Love of People and Ghosts", and then there was the Red Star Pictures Division. I don't know where to go. finally waited for Yang Lin to return to Hong Kong, and actually got himself an assistant director of Rausch in the crew of "Die Hard".

If you are in another crew, the assistant director is equivalent to the fourth-in-command. In addition to the producers, directors and producers, they have a lot of say. But that's just in other crews. Yang Lin makes movies, which is always strong. Plus he's a producer himself. As the power of both producer and director, that is to say, domineering excessive.

How the photographer shoots and from which angle, he has the final say; He has the final say on how the art director designs the scene; The action design is himself, and he says that whatever action is what he does, and there is no need to discuss.

worked as an assistant director in Yang Lin's crew. In fact, it is a high-profile drama, and to put it bluntly, it is a miscellaneous one. And in order to match Yang Lin's whimsical ideas that pop up from time to time. The assistant director has to grit his teeth and do his best to complete everything he explains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bombing bunker to block the eye-catching.

For example, now, Yang Lin gave him the task of negotiating with the Regent Hotel in Hong Kong, and the crew would rent its rooftop banquet hall as the main filming location of "Die Hard".

Wei Jiahui helplessly looked at the script he was carrying, and looked at the five-star hotel in front of him that was resplendent in the sun, and his heart was full of pathos. Why? According to the script, by the time the filming of this film is completed, the entire top floor of the Regent Hotel will be full of holes, and the internal facilities will probably be razed to the ground, almost indistinguishable from reconstruction. It's a five-star hotel, so you'll get it for a few dollars?

If it weren't for his good friendship with Yang Lin when he was on TVB, Wei Jiahui even wondered if Yang Lin was unhappy with himself, and took the opportunity to give himself a century of problems, so that he could put himself out of the Red Star Picture with one foot, fend for himself, and roll as far as possible.

There is no way, no matter how difficult the task is, you have to work hard to complete it. Wei Jiahui took a deep breath, organized the words he had designed after pondering and studying for a week, and walked towards the door of the Regent Hotel tragically.

The location of the Regent Hong Kong Hotel is very superior, facing Victoria Harbour, overlooking the railing, and the scenery on both sides of the strait. The two-storey floor-to-ceiling glass wall surrounds the ocean, allowing guests to enjoy the light rhythm of the city while watching the sea traffic at various stages. It has been selected as one of the top 10 in the world's best travel hotels, and has even been rated as the top ten more than once.

The decoration in the lobby is extremely luxurious, with magnificent walls and luxurious luxury.

Now that you're here, let's face it calmly. Wei Jiahui relieved his tense emotions and smiled at the lobby manager who greeted him: "Hello, I am Wei Jiahui from Red Star Pictures, and I have an appointment with General Manager Wei." ”

The lobby manager is a foreign devil, tall enough to fit Wei Jiahui in. Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed slightly: "Hello, Mr. Wei, Manager Wei is already waiting for you, and I told me to wait for you to come to his office as soon as you arrive." ”

It seems that this Manager Wei attaches great importance to himself, Wei Jiahui is relieved of everything, and feels that things are probably not so difficult to do. With a smile, he followed the lobby manager to Manager Wei's office.

Wei Wenheng, the general manager of the Regent Hotel, is a young man in his early thirties, tall and thin, handsome, gentle and elegant, more like a scholar than a businessman.

"Hello Mr. Wei, I have admired your Red Star Pictures for a long time." As soon as he saw Wei Jiahui, Wei Wenheng stood up and walked over from behind the desk, shook hands with Wei Jiahui with a spring breeze, invited him to sit on the sofa in the hospitality area, and shouted to the secretary to bring coffee.

Wei Jiahui was a little flattered, and his originally depressed mood instantly improved. Judging by Wei Wenheng's attitude, this negotiation shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"Mr. Wei, you are a rising star in our Hong Kong, and now in the Hong Kong business community. Which one is not allowed to give a thumbs up when talking about Mr. Wei? Capable and courageous. The most important thing is to have a vision, the Regent Hotel is thriving under your leadership, is it lucky? ”

Wei Jiahui first sent it to the sycophants, and also deliberately pointed out the "visionary" comment to lay the groundwork for his remarks for a while.

Wei Wenheng laughed, waved his hand and said: "After awards, Wei doesn't dare to be a rising star in this sentence." On Hong Kong's rising stars. Which one can compare to Mr. Yang Lin of your company? Single-handedly in Hong Kong, starting from scratch and smiling proudly in Hong Kong, every time I think about it. Wei is yearning, but unfortunately it has always been a fate, which is a bit of a pity. ”

Wei Jiahui was overjoyed, this Wei Wenheng actually brought his words to his own road. God help me. He immediately said: "You and Mr. Yang are both handsome for a while. can be called the Yu Liang of the world, and it should be close to each other. I'll be blunt, the reason why I came here today is because of Mr. Yang's mission, and I want to ask Mr. Wei for a favor. ”

The corners of Wei Wenheng's lips twitched, revealing a somewhat weird smile: "But it doesn't matter, as long as I, Wei, can help, I can't give up my name." ”

Wei Jiahui looked into Wei Wenheng's eyes. I feel a little weird in my heart. But he didn't have time to think about it, so he said: "Our Red Star Pictures are going to shoot a movie recently. It's called "Die Hard". This is a super big production, and it is going to be released in North America, so for the production of the movie, all aspects must strive for perfection. Mr. Yang meant to rent the top floor of your hotel for the filming of the film for two months. As long as you can help us with this, the cost is not an issue. ”

After speaking, Wei Jiahui looked at Wei Wenheng with burning eyes, and he was very nervous. As for what cost is not a problem, Wei Jiahui doesn't care, he only knows that it is good to be able to complete this impossible task. The problem of money is not a problem at all in the eyes of others. If people don't agree, they won't agree to how much money you give, this is a problem of business ideas, and money can't be solved.

Wei Wenheng raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and pondered, put his hand on the coffee table, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the table top, making a clear sound of "tuk tuk".

Wei Jiahui was nervous, and he didn't know how much Wei Wenheng would really want to think about whether he would agree or not. He couldn't interject, so he had to pick up the coffee on the coffee table and take a sip to hide his nervousness.

After a while, Wei Wenheng opened his eyes and said, "Since it was Red Star Pictures who made such a request, I will have a meeting with the hotel's senior management to study it, and I agree in principle." Hehe, you know, Mr. Yang's "The True Color of Heroes", I have watched it several times, and it was so good! ”

Wei Jiahui was overjoyed, he really didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Of course Mr. Yang's movie didn't say it, and this "Die Hard" will definitely not be under "The True Colors of Heroes". But, with all due respect, how much do you need for your ideal cost? ”

Wei Wenheng smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know that after filming the movie, my top floor should almost be completely renovated." So, two months, 30 million Hong Kong dollars, how about it? ”

The Regent Hotel is a five-star hotel, with a banquet hall on the top floor, and more than a dozen rooms. The rent plus the cost of decoration, 30 million Hong Kong dollars is indeed not much, which is very fair.

However, this does not take into account the advertising effect that the filming of "Die Hard" will bring to the Regent Hotel, and it is completely the unilateral cost borne by Red Star Pictures.

"You should know that if this film is a success in the United States, it will be released worldwide. At that time, it will be equivalent to a free global promotion for the Regent Hotel, and I think Mr. Wei should have some understanding of such a situation. Therefore, please Mr. Wei carefully consider whether to reduce the fee appropriately. Because if Mr. Yang abandons the Regent Hotel because of budget problems, I think it will be a loss for both you and our Red Star Pictures. ”

Now that Wei Wenheng has expressed his position, Wei Jiahui certainly wants to take the opportunity to seek some benefits for the company, which is also the proper meaning of the question. Is it possible that you want as much as you want, and you are not allowed to pay back?

Wei Wenheng thought for a while and said, "In this case, then after I meet with the hotel executives, I will give Mr. Wei an answer, what do you think?" ”

With such a big matter, Wei Wenheng, as the general manager, can't make a decision in one word, so it is natural for the big boss to ask for instructions.

Wei Jiahui nodded and said goodbye happily.

Seeing Wei Jiahui away, Wei Wenheng returned to the back of his desk, picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Hehe, I've done what you asked me to do."

"Of course I won't let him know, but is it necessary?"

"You really don't know how to say hello. Since you can't be together, then just break it off cleanly, why torture yourself so much? ”

"Okay, okay, I don't say it, you're a princess, you're a queen, whatever you say is what you say."

Putting down the phone, Wei Wenheng smiled helplessly. (To be continued......)
