Chapter 511 Coming to Hong Kong to build momentum

Wei Jiahui, who is a Hong Kong gold medal producer, couldn't help but snort, ignoring Zhou Shaoming's words and saying: "You are just lucky!" Either way, I won't say yes to your invitation! ”

Zhou Shaoming could only frown at Wei Jiahui's frank words, there was no way, although Wei Jiahui said it very bluntly, but he could see that Wei Jiahui was an upright person, so he said helplessly: "Since you don't want to, I can't force you!" ”

Zhou Shaoming said and got up slowly, Jackie Chan looked at Wei Jiahui's demeanor, and gritted his teeth angrily, but the treacherous and cunning Jackie Chan did not lose the demeanor of a big brother, just smiled at Wei Jiahui, got up and prepared to leave with Zhou Shaoming!

"Director Zhou, what are you going to do next?" Jackie Chan really wanted to promote the cooperation between Zhou Shaoming and Wei Jiahui this time, but in the face of Wei Jiahui's stubborn character, Jackie Chan couldn't match it for a while!

In the face of Jackie Chan's inquiry, Zhou Shaoming sighed and hesitated, it was indeed a headache to be unable to find a suitable screenwriter for a while! said: "Stay in Hong Kong for a while, anyway, I plan to come here to film, so get familiar with the environment first!" But there will be trouble for Jackie Chan in the future, and it is best to find an excellent screenwriter here in China! ”

Jackie Chan patted his chest and said with a package ticket: "You can rest assured about this matter, wrap it up on me!" ”

Faced with Jackie Chan's confident promise, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when the two were about to leave, Wei Jiahui, who was behind him, couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward and asked in the back: "Wait, what did you just say?" Coming to Hong Kong to shoot? ”

Zhou Shaoming and Jackie Chan listened to Wei Jiahui's inquiry, and couldn't help but turn their heads, looking at Wei Jiahui's expression, Zhou Shaoming narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "It's our freedom to shoot where our crew plans to shoot, you can't control this matter!" ”

Zhou Shaoming did recognize Wei Jiahui's ability in film and television production in advance, but for a person who did not have a good impression of himself. There is no need for Zhou Shaoming to greet Wei Jiahui with a smile!

Wei Jiahui's demeanor became a little hurried, and he hurriedly walked in front of Zhou Shaoming and responded: "Director Smith Zhou, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean what you said, I'm just curious, why don't you want to come to Hong Kong to shoot movies in the North American market?" ”

Zhou Shaoming and Jackie Chan couldn't help but look at each other, looking at Wei Jiahui's demeanor at this time, compared to before, they were like two people! Zhou Shaoming was stunned in place at first!

Wee Ka-fai's attitude has changed 360 degrees. said to Zhou Shaoming: "It's my rudeness, please sit down and explain to me slowly!" What do you think? ”

Zhou Shaoming followed Wei Jiahui again, facing Wei Jiahui in front of him, Zhou Shaoming more or less felt Wei Jiahui's kindness!

Zhou Shaoming pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "You are an upright person and speak very straightforwardly, so I won't spare you!" I had no intention of giving up the North American market at all when I made this "Detective" movie! On the contrary, in the film market where I shoot, it is still mainly the North American market! ”

Wei Jiahui listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker. nodded in agreement: "Yes, the North American film market is so lucrative, how can a world-class director like you give up the North American market!" But. What did you just say about coming to Hong Kong to shoot? ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes narrowed, looking at Wei Jiahui's appearance, as if he cared about this matter! At this time, Zhou Shaoming somewhat understood Wei Jiahui's mood! Compared with the North American market, the Hong Kong film market has been sluggish in recent years. It really makes film and television workers worried, although there are series of movies such as Infernal Affairs to save the Hong Kong film market!

But it always seems a drop in the bucket and can't achieve the expected effect! And after the makeover of the police film shot by himself in the context of Hong Kong. After being released worldwide on the scale of Hollywood, although the reputation is extremely poor, the box office results are compared with Hong Kong classic Infernal Affairs series and other police and gangster films, like stars in the sky, out of reach!

It's no wonder that as a Hong Kong gold medal producer, he was so angry when he heard that he was filming a movie with the theme of Hong Kong police and bandits! Zhou Shaoming, who finally figured out the state, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, facing the time when he was anxious to know why he came to Hong Kong to shoot a movie!

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, and he said seriously: "Don't forget, although I became famous in Hollywood and stepped into the ranks of gold medal directors, but I am always a Chinese, I can't forget my roots, I just have an idea, once again to shoot a Hong Kong-style police and bandit film, this film I hope whether it is box office or word of mouth, can achieve good results!" Coming to Hong Kong to shoot is the most crucial step of this shooting! After all, there is a plot of dirty things in the conception of this film, and if these contents are forced to be filmed in the West, I think the film will also look nondescript, what do you think? ”

Zhou Shaoming said all his thoughts to Wei Jiahui in one breath, and he also thanked Wei Jiahui for giving him the opportunity to say it! In fact, when Zhou Shaoming came to Wei Jiahui, he thought of when Wei Jiahui asked why he wanted to help himself and cooperate with him! So how do you answer this question?

However, to Zhou Shaoming's surprise, when Wei Jiahui heard that he was going to shoot a Hong Kong-style movie, he didn't give himself a chance to say his reasons at all! I didn't expect that my words with Jackie Chan would once again dramatically let Wei Jiahui give himself the opportunity to say his ideas!

Wei Jiahui nodded and said, "No wonder you gave up the resources of your Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Screenwriting Department and came to Hong Kong to cooperate with me?" ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't say anything, and waited for Wei Jiahui to say more! Wei Jiahui sat on the sofa and pondered, and after his eyes rolled, he asked Zhou Shaoming again: "I don't know if Director Zhou was looking for the idea of cooperation just now, are you still willing to do it?" ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, and Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, waited for Wei Jiahui's words, and responded with a kind smile: "Of course I am willing!" How could I possibly have a reason to object! ”

When Wei Jiahui heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment: "After all, I said something embarrassing to everyone just now, I thought you would take it to heart!" ”

Zhou Shaoming smiled and said lightly: "How come? I can understand your feelings, as Chinese, we work together, for our Chinese film market, but also for the Hong Kong film market, we all need to do our part! ”

If you want to get something, you have to be willing to give. Zhou Shaoming thinks that he is not a Da Luo immortal and cannot control the fate of China and the film market, but as a Chinese, within the scope of his ability, as long as he can contribute something to help the Chinese film market flourish, even if it is a drop in the ocean, it is worth it! I want to know, in addition to Zhou Shaoming, there are more people who have the same concept, although one person's strength seems to be very smiling. But if thousands of idealistic Chinese people fight for this idea together, then its power cannot be ignored!

Wei Jiahui listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, and couldn't help patting his thigh and said: "Okay, since Director Zhou is so happy, then I can't sit idly by, you just have to order!" What I can do must be unambiguous! ”

Zhou Shaoming heard Wei Jiahui's ambition and responded: "We are just making movies, not going to the battlefield, which makes such a tense atmosphere." I'm overwhelmed! ”

Jackie Chan on the side hit it off when he saw the two, as the middleman who matched this matter, Jackie Chan was of course overjoyed, and said jokingly: "Wei Jiahui's current appearance is better than those of us who practice martial arts." It's a bit of a shame for me now! ”

Wei Jiahui was a little excited, hurriedly got up, personally poured tea for Zhou Shaoming and Jackie Chan, and looked at the excited Wei Jiahui. Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Shaoming, who was still worried about the screenwriter, finally felt leisurely!

After obtaining Wei Jiahui to become the screenwriter of this "Detective". Zhou Shaoming began to prepare for the crew members, with photographers, makeup artists, lighting engineers and others! Especially the actors who starred in this work!

In mid-January, Zhou Shaoming came to Hong Kong again with a huge crew member, and after coming to Hong Kong at the beginning of the month to reach a cooperation with Wei Jiahui, Zhou Shaoming returned to Los Angeles to prepare everything, and after ten days of preparation, Zhou Shaoming set foot on the land of Hong Kong again!

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw that the airport was already full of reporters!

Seeing that Zhou Shaoming and his party just came out, reporters began to besiege them, and the news media in Hong Kong and even all over China are paying attention to the filming of "Detective"!

For Hong Kong and even the world, the eyes are on this matter! No one would have thought that as a gold medal director in Hollywood, he would choose Hong Kong as the background to shoot a movie about police and bandits! Will such a film be welcomed when it moves to the North American market? If Hong Kong's films with this theme can really be favored in the North American market, then Hong Kong directors have long been favored in Hollywood, leaving unforgettable memories in the hearts of audiences in the North American market.

"Crazy? Or will he once again show his demonic talent in front of the world? Director Smith Zhou's unbelievable practices again and again really make people can't believe that he is still a normal person? Los Angeles Daily News

Normal person, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw this report, as a person engaged in art, which one is still a normal person? When others are resting and relaxing, as a director, I sit in front of the camera again and again, and cut and follow the film all night!

Whenever the film is filmed, it is the most tormenting time for the directors, it is not an exaggeration to have back pain and leg cramps, and frozen shoulder has long been the director's occupational disease!

Of course, all this toil is nothing! As a director, it's that kind of unwarranted pressure! This pressure comes from box office results and the word-of-mouth of the movie! But these things are beyond the control of directors!

Some box office results may have to bring some luck, no matter the time or place of release, there is a little element of luck, but after all, it still depends on the quality of the movie!

However, in the film market, there are some classic movies that also had no influence at the time, but became popular in the following years! But such a movie can't bring any income to the director and film and television company!

The huge expenses of the crew, and the investment in the cost of the film are all risky projects, and the pressure on the director is thousands of times that of normal, under such a life, Zhou Shaoming feels that as a director, he is not a normal person at all!

Even if the news media renders himself so much, Zhou Shaoming doesn't dare to be surprised! Have you ever seen someone who is an artist and is a normal person?

However, Hong Kong and even Asia are not booing everything like North America, but because of Zhou Shaoming's arrival, the media here has shown more enthusiasm!

Think about the arrival of a gold medal in Hollywood, not to mention Hong Kong, even in Asia, it is a sensation!

For the time being, I don't know why Zhou Shaoming came to Hong Kong to shoot, and Zhou Shaoming, who focuses on the North American market, chose to shoot in Hong Kong this time. Will it be a representative, the focus of filming movies in the future will be on China, after all, Zhou Shaoming himself is Chinese! After becoming famous, it is reasonable to return to China for development!

Zhou Shaoming heard the onlookers constantly asking about these topics, Zhou Shaoming just smiled faintly! did not answer positively, because Zhou Shaoming knew that two days later, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company would hold a press conference here in Hong Kong, the main purpose of which was to start the filming ceremony of "Detective" and have the effect of publicity when filming started!

For the questions raised by the journalists at this time. Zhou Shaoming does not plan to respond for the time being!

Avril's appearance made the fans present scream loudly, and the appearance of this popular musician in every corner of the world undoubtedly increased the atmosphere of the scene! However, Avril, who was escorted by several bodyguards, seemed very calm in the crowd, listening to the song with headphones!

Under the protection of the security guards, Zhou Shaoming and his entourage walked out of the airport through the green channel, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to the reporters at the airport, the front page of Hong Kong Entertainment on the second day was basically the topic of Zhou Shaoming and Avril!

Of course. This time I came to Hong Kong to shoot, and the main members also included two actors, Bell Murphy! Although Bell is a little popular in the North American market, after coming to China, obviously no one knows this Hollywood movie star!

People's focus is all on Zhou Shaoming and Avril!

"The arrival of Director Smith Chow. It is undoubtedly a grand event in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and according to reliable sources, director Smith Zhou will bring his new work to Hong Kong for filming. A film set in Hong Kong will be released at the North American Film Market, which is really a dream! "Hong Kong Entertainment News

But. When Zhou Shaoming came to Hong Kong for filming this time, he was more thoughtful in terms of publicity and momentum, and before the news was released, the confidentiality of the cast was quite in place!

When the press conference is on, when the reporters come early!

To everyone's surprise, except for Zhou Shaoming and Avril Lavril and Bell, Avril and Bell have seen both reporters! For Avril Lavigne, she is a familiar face in front of the world!

However, the faces of the two leading actors, Avril and Bale, were not enough, when Jackie Chan politely asked Zhou Shaoming to sit down, the reporters took a deep breath and looked at each other!

At this time, sitting at the press conference, three superstars suddenly appeared, which really made the reporters' eyes shine, not only Jackie Chan, but also the powerful superstar Wu Jing, who recently successfully entered the North American market with the villain of "Fuse"!

There is also the fact that no one guessed that it was Andy Lau, one of the four kings of Hong Kong!

The reporters were a little dumbfounded when they looked at such a powerful formation, and they forgot that they still had cameras in their hands! After a while, the reporters plucked up the strength to eat milk and kept taking photos in front of them!

What the hell is going on? In fact, Jackie Chan's presence is not unexpected, I heard that Jackie Chan is the middleman who matched the cooperation between Zhou Shaoming and Wei Jiahui, of course, starring in this movie, it is also imaginable!

But the appearance of Wu Jing and Andy Lau was something that the reporters never expected! For the two superstars who are super popular in the Chinese film market, the reporters couldn't help but pick up the microphone and keep asking questions!

The venue began to be in a commotion, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help frowning, the atmosphere at the scene was too warm, would this affect our press conference!

Zhou Shaoming was indeed a little worried, the reporters began to stir, and the corners of Jackie Chan's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he responded lightly: "Don't worry, I've seen a lot of this kind of scene." ”

Jackie Chan stood up as he spoke, picked up the microphone, and said, "Fellow journalists, stop first and listen to me say a few words!" ”

After hearing Jackie Chan's voice at the scene, he began to quiet down, and Jackie Chan said: "Friends from the media, today's press conference is the time for all the reporters present to ask questions, everyone abides by the order here, I guarantee that each reporter who comes here can ask at least one question, and will not let everyone go back empty-handed!" ”

The expression on Jackie Chan's face became serious, and he said: "But if the scene is not under control as just now, then we, as the organizers of this time, will not continue this press conference without taking the situation out of control, which is not good for both of us!" I hope that all the reporters will first get to their original positions in order, so that our press conference can go smoothly! ”

After hearing Jackie Chan's words, the reporters and friends couldn't help but pause, and after thinking for a while, they began to slowly sit back to their original positions!

After Wu Jing opened the North American film market in one fell swoop through "Fuse", of course, he has been tepid in the Chinese film and television industry, and he has also won the recognition of everyone.

Even Wu Jing, who is in the limelight, can't compare with the popularity of Liu Tianwang around him, Liu Tianwang, who is known as an evergreen tree in China, did the press conference, and the camera lens began to focus on Andy Lau from time to time to take photos! (To be continued......)
