It is said that Chen Xiaotang said that the drama "Assassin's Creed" will invest 5 million US dollars, which made people sigh for a while, you must know that the largest investment in the whole Hong Kong drama is only 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to more than 1 million US dollars, but now, it is ...... As soon as the Magic Shadow came out, it was a big production of five million dollars, and even many companies in Hollywood did not have such super strength. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But will this win?

Will it be a thankless effort and call it a suicidal operation?!

The shadow grows fast, should it also be the fast of the loser?

The hearts of the people were full of questions.

"Mr. Chen, why do you dare to take the risk of investing in such a big production? Aren't you afraid of failure? The female reporter chased after her.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" Chen Xiaotang smiled, "I'm not a god, I'm fearless, I'm also an ordinary man, and I'm also afraid of such a big investment, but why should I do this?" The reason is very simple, because someone has to start this matter, and someone has to dare to make history! We Hong Kong filmmakers are talented and creative enough to make stories that amaze the world, but we don't have the courage to make big bets and invest huge sums of money. Why? Because we are still small businessmen in our bones, not big entrepreneurs, we don't have a big risk, we are afraid of capsizing in the gutter, we are afraid of this and that......"

"The most terrible thing is that we are fighting on our own! We tear each other down and stumble each other, I can't make a film, don't think about it! This kind of thinking is terrifying, even to the extent of destroying the entire Hong Kong movie! If you don't believe me, you can recall the shocking movie battle in the 60s......"

The reporters listened like gods, and at the same time they all guessed the meaning of Chen Xiaotang's words.

The Hong Kong film industry has always been a scattered sand, like to fight alone, and the nest fighting in the Chinese nature has become a stumbling block for Hong Kong films. To be honest, you dismantle my stage, I dismantle yours, it's not uncommon for big guys to tear each other down for the box office, even when Shaw Brothers and Denmao had a fight. So much so that friends on the road were dispatched to grab the master tape of the movie, and a group of people took the murder weapon and slashed from Tsim Sha Tsui to Causeway Bay, and then from Causeway Bay to Ngau Tau Kok. caused the biggest conflict in Hong Kong's 60s history because of movies. Even the famous Inspector General China, Lei Luo, had to stand up and be a peacemaker and invite the two movie tycoons to eat and relieve the hangover.

The reporters present were all in their thirties. As a medium. For this history of "movie hegemony", it can be said that I am somewhat familiar.

Sure enough, Chen Xiaotang continued: "No matter what happened before, whether our own family is still beating our own family, and now I stand up to tell everyone that we Hong Kong filmmakers can also unite and play big!" You can also accumulate funds and make blockbusters like Hollywood! ”

"Look back. To say that I'm not afraid is definitely a lie, and to say that I'm not worried is absolutely false. Hehe, don't look at me like that, what I said is true. But why should I do it? ”

Chen Xiaotang took a look at the reporters. Everyone looked at him intently, waiting for his answer.

Chen Xiaotang said: "Actually, it is very simple, there are two points. ”

"Oh?" The reporters were trembling, and the hands holding the pens were a little nervous.

"First, I have extra money in Shadow Entertainment! Hehe, because the initial investment is only the return on our investment in the last few months, if you lose. We're not going to go bankrupt either, haha, that's my biggest leaning back. Second, I believe in good studios. The filmmakers who can compete with Hollywood are all sharpened. ”

He paused, and then continued: "Hong Kong film development to this stage, it can be said that it has reached a certain bottleneck, in the next ten years, I guess that Hong Kong films will enter a period of decline from prosperity, during this period, Hong Kong films will continue to reduce production, there will be fewer and fewer good movies, Hollywood blockbusters will gradually encroach on our Chinese film market, we will be cornered, many film companies will go bankrupt, filmmakers will be laid off, what directors, screenwriters, actors, have changed jobs, to sell insurance, to sell rice noodles, and even reduced to a dance hall miscellaneous ...... This is definitely not alarmism, but the reality of the future! ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the audience, Chen Xiaotang said solemnly.

Perhaps as a person who has come over, only he knows best about the future of Hong Kong movies, especially when he has seen a play called "Movie Duck", which vividly portrays this situation.

"Movie Duck", this is a film based on the unprecedented predicament of the Hong Kong film industry. At the beginning, the box office record of Hong Kong films in the 90s fell sharply, which is really shocking. Then the filmmakers lost their jobs one after another, the stars had no jobs, and the screenwriters had no food. Luo Jialiang plays actor Zhou Songchi, Guan Xiumei plays actress Zhu Qi, Zhang Jincheng plays screenwriter, Zeng Zhiwei plays director Chen Guoxin, and Chen Baixiang plays producer Xu Qu. The five-person group did everything possible to prepare for the start of the play, the big boss went bankrupt and jumped off the building, and trained Zhu Qi to show his beauty tricks, and finally the four male filmmakers wanted to be ducks, curry favor with the rich woman, and seek filming funds. The five-member group started filming "Spring Premature Ejaculation", and later the film successfully won the award, and the five were invited to enter Hollywood, and they were blackmailed and made a lot of wrong farce.

Although this drama is a spoof, the content of the film market reflected in this drama is really incomparable.

Hong Kong movies are dead, Hong Kong movies are not saved!

Such slogans and slogans can be seen everywhere.

It's just that only Chen Xiaotang himself can "see" these things, and everyone else is still immersed in the bubble of Hong Kong film prosperity, and they have their own opinions on his "unashamed" or "earth-shattering" remarks.

"Interesting, so interesting!" Shao Mansion, the sixth uncle has been smiling, and the sixth sister-in-law Fang Yihua, the woman behind him, is also smiling, with a kind of relief in her eyes.

"This Ah Tang is amazing!" Shao Daheng looked at his sixth sister-in-law and said, "The studio is being built in full swing, and he has set his sights on Hollywood farther away, and it is even more rare that he is so young that he has seen the future crisis of Hong Kong films!" ”

This remark fully shows Shao Tycoon's appreciation of Chen Xiaotang, you must know that the reason why Shaw Brothers reduced production is because Shao Tycoon saw the twilight of Hong Kong films early on.

And Chen Xiaotang is so young that he dares to say the future decline of Hong Kong films, which can't help but surprise Shao Daheng.

Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua nodded, "Anyway, he also went out from us wirelessly, his pride is our pride!" ”

There was a rare appreciation and relief between the words.

Meanwhile.

Hong Kong Yongsheng Entertainment.

Xiang Huasheng looked at Chen Xiaotang who was talking eloquently on TV, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "What the hell." is ashamed to say that Hong Kong movies will decline, heh, could it be that he Chen Xiaotang has front and rear eyes? ! ”

"Brother Eleven, don't drill the horns anymore, then what Chen Xiaotang says is also related to us, and we should support him. At least in the future we will be able to reap greater benefits! Xiang Huaqiang said.

"I just can't swallow this!" Xiang Huasheng said. "Why can he Chen Xiaotang be majestic, but I want to fall behind him and be laughed at? In terms of intelligence, family background, and connections, what point do I lose to him?! ”

"Alas, you just lost to him......"

"What?"

"Yundao!"

Xiang Huasheng thought about it and was silent.

Not to mention how other people reacted, the reporters at the scene were even more deeply touched, and they all looked at Chen Xiaotang with puzzled looks.

They really can't believe that Hong Kong films will really decline or decay in the future.

Chen Xiaotang saw everyone like this. He added: "I know that everyone has doubts about my words, but I can only say that everything needs time to prove!" Let's get down to business, today is the launch of our new movie, who else has any questions? ”

"I, I'm coming!"

"Let me come!" ……

People started shouting again.

Seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic. Chen Xiaotang snickered in his heart and touched his nose, and then shouted directly: "Okay, just the one wearing the hat in the back, yes, it's you, you can ask." ”

"Rafite, as far as we know, the Shadow is going to be ready to enter Hollywood. Can you elaborate on the actors? ”

Introducing the cast? Of course it's necessary!

So Chen Xiaotang replied with a smile: "You asked this question very well. First of all, I will lead the play, and Mr. Shange Winton and Mr. Runger will play opposite me. Now, let them introduce their respective characters, and everyone applauds! ”

Originally, they appeared majestic, and then listened to Chen Xiaotang talk eloquently---- mainly because they couldn't understand Hong Kong dialect, and Shang Ge Yunton and Long Ge, who were already a little drowsy, were startled by the applause, and they were all scared away.

At this time, a translator stepped forward and told them the question. The two of you are so happy, mother's head, it's finally our turn to play.

The two big guys rubbed their noses and began to talk in turns.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Shange Winton, I play the evil Templar leader in this play, brutal, with strong power, I am the protagonist's nemesis, and I have been sending people to catch up with the protagonist!"

Then Longer said: "I am the master of the male protagonist in the play, and I am also a hidden kung fu master, in fact, the protagonist's worst enemy, in order to obtain an artifact such as the Piece of Eden, I used the protagonist to find the artifact in pretending to be dead, and almost took the protagonist's life several times, and finally had a life-and-death duel with the protagonist." ”

The two big guys talked eloquently, foaming at the stars, and they didn't care if the big guys could hear it clearly, they just cared about themselves.

Until a reporter interrupted them and asked them: "We basically understand the roles of the two, so we all know that a drama has a protagonist and an antagonist, and there will be a heroine---- may I ask who the heroine is?" ”

This sentence stopped the two big guys, damn, they just signed a contract with Magic Shadow Entertainment, who knows which one is the heroine?

Helpless, Lao Shang scratched his head and said, "Let this question be answered by dear Chen, we are thirsty, take a rest!" ”

Chen Xiaotang once again became the focus of attention, he said: "As for the heroine, after careful consideration, we decided to use Miss Wang Zuxian!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused people's discussions.

"Wang Zuxian? Isn't it a little too young? ”

"yes, it's not a super big name, can it be qualified for such a big production?"

"Could it be the inside story? I heard that this Wang beauty is a famous vixen, and whoever is with her will be fascinated! ”…….

Chen Xiaotang is not deaf, of course these words have been heard in his ears, to be honest, he is really a bit of a loss, who let him accidentally be pushed back by Wang Zuxian, now that people have skin to skin with him, it is normal to give a role, of course. Chen Xiaotang is not the kind of emotional person, on the contrary, he is super calm in serious matters.

So in the face of many media reporters, he said: "I know that everyone has objections to my choice of Miss Wang Zuxian to play the heroine, but what I want to tell you is that the reason why she is allowed to lead the starring role." Not considering how famous she is. How she looks, how she acts, but because of one reason---- she has great foreign language skills! ”

Chen Xiaotang's words directly blocked everyone's mouths, because everyone knows that Chen Xiaotang's drama takes the international route, so at least you have to croak in foreign languages, but now many female stars are from poor families and have no chance to study abroad.......

Of course, this reason may not be sufficient. However, I believe that Miss Wang Zuxian can play this role well, because from the very beginning, this role was specially tailored for her! ”

This sentence also blocked the mouth of the person who just wanted to open his mouth to refute.

Pick, didn't you hear clearly, people have already said it very bluntly, the heroine of this play is designed for Wang Zuxian, you are a bird!

Still, there were some reporters who couldn't help but shout: "Rafite. To be honest, you take so much care of Wang Zuxian, do you like her? ”

I'm picking, this question is good gossip, but we like it!

The more gossip and the more blood, the more flavorful!

Everyone pricked up their ears. Waiting for Chen Xiaotang's answer.

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that someone would dare to ask so straightforwardly, so he smiled and said, "Yes, she is a very beautiful girl, don't you like it?!" ”

Such an ambiguous rhetorical question. is very skillful, and then Chen Xiaotang said again: "I like all the artists of our Magic Shadow Entertainment Company, because they have created countless wealth for the company, and they are also really dedicated to the movie!" Here, I would like to thank them all!! Chen Xiaotang bowed.

The gossip reporters who just wanted to pull the topic to the relationship between men and women ~ were gagged again.

It seems that this Chen Xiaotang has really practiced the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, and he is invulnerable!

No, you can't just stop today, you must dig out some gossip and break the news.

Just as all the reporters were sharpening their knives and preparing to attack again, Chen Xiaotang did not give them a chance, but immediately began to introduce the production team of "Assassin's Creed".

Among them are the nominal producer of this play, the fat man Wang Jing, the kung fu director Cheng Xiaodong, as well as the cinematographer of this play, Du Kefeng, the old man of the film soundtrack, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, etc.

After these people finished making brief speeches one after another, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Xiaotang began to introduce some cameos in this play, including Brother Cheng Long, Brother Fa, as well as Qiu Guan, Liu Dehua and others.

Brother Cheng Long and Fa Ge originally wanted to get a leading role in this play, but unfortunately Chen Xiaotang refused very shamelessly, so he had no choice but to settle for the second best thing, and a cameo appearance in friendship can be regarded as adding strength to entering Hollywood.

Another ten minutes passed, and all the media reporters had thunderous stomachs and were about to drop their pants with hunger, so Chen Xiaotang stopped the topic and said: "Tomorrow our "Assassin's Creed" will fly to the first external location to film, and this external venue is ---- Egypt!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately shook everyone and flew to Egypt? This drama is really generous, I envy those actors who can travel for free, pyramids, mummies, pharaohs, and Arab girls....... oh yes!

Some daydreaming journalists roared.

Maybe the newspaper will send itself out to cover the story in order to track the report.

Others began to roar in heat.

At this moment, they have long forgotten that their stomachs are growling with hunger.

The next day, the entire Hong Kong media reported on Magic Entertainment's drama "Assassin's Creed".

"The Shadow Drama is about to start filming, and Hollywood is just around the corner!"

"Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed, Tomorrow!"

"Good play, big play, wonderful play!" …….

"Assassin's Creed is ready to march, Chen Xiaotang reappears as a hero!"

"Hollywood bigwigs join, kung fu superstars perform assassin legends!"

"Keep up with the blockbuster and create a historical picture for five million dollars!" ……

"The beauty queen Zu Xian has transformed into a heroine, and her relationship with Chen Xiaotang is ambiguous!"

"I don't watch the drama during the festival this year, I only watch this one when I watch the play!" ……

All kinds of reports can be said to be overwhelming, overwhelming other movies.

To be honest, it's no wonder that this drama is so eye-catching, just imagine, with an investment of five million US dollars, with Hollywood "superstars" joining, the big star Chen Xiaotang himself starring, and with the female goblin Wang Zuxian, Brother Cheng Long, Fa Ge and others cameo cameo, it can be said that the gimmick that this drama should have is almost all.

You say, what do those media not report on these reports?!

Taking advantage of the heat, ATV, which has a good relationship with Chen Xiaotang, took the opportunity to give Chen Xiaotang's "Assassin's Creed" crew an exclusive interview, and the ratings soared all the way on the entertainment channel at the same time, which made the wireless side very unhappy, and the sixth aunt Fang Yihua immediately called Chen Xiaotang and said: "Come, let's also give you an interview." ”

Chen Xiaotang was so hard that he had to say: "I don't have time, Aunt Six, we are going to Egypt to film, tonight's plane, next time!" ”

"Flying to Egypt to film?" In an instant, the sixth aunt Fang Yihua had an idea. (To be continued)
