Chapter 440: Li Zhi has an accident

This year's fundraising order is very strange, and the difficulty is that those small and medium-sized film companies that are not strong enough, for the former opponents of Dark Horse International, Golden Harvest, Debao, and Xinyicheng do not hesitate to participate and subscribe for shares.

More than 3 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to them, but who wouldn't want a stable high return? Even if this is suspected of recognizing Dark Horse International in charge of the Hong Kong film industry, it ...... Isn't that the case?

Chen Ping'an is like a big mountain, spanning the Hong Kong film industry, because of his existence, Dark Horse International has become an unsurpassable mountain, even the old film leader Golden Harvest has to admit this.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an's active aggression is not strong, but because of his existence, there are fewer secret fights in the film industry, and more open battles, which is a bit of healthy competition and speaks by strength.

What's even better is that this small temple in Hong Kong can't accommodate Chen Ping'an's mountain, and his eyes have been set on the United States on the other side of the ocean, which gives Hong Kong gaseous film companies a chance to catch up.

Xin'an Company and Taiwan's Lianhai Pictures naturally will not miss the opportunity to collect money once a year, and after the Jianghu fundraising order was reported, $500,000 was hit into the account of Dark Horse International. I don't want any certificates, just call Zhang Ziyang to let me know.

These two film companies, which are completely from the background of the community, have a very solid relationship with Dark Horse International, and there is no problem with trust at all. The first two fundraising orders brought them more than $500,000, not counting "Terminator 2", which will be released in the United States this summer.

This is the world's first film with an investment of over 100 million US dollars!

All the Hong Kong and Taiwan film companies that participated in the third Jianghu fundraising order basically told Chen Ping'an. In the future, "Terminator 2" will be released in the United States, and they will send people to the United States to attend the premiere.

In addition to these film companies that enjoy a fixed share. Several other film companies have also signed up. This is the same as playing new stocks in a bull market, there is no loss if you don't hit. Once you win the lottery, it means a high return.

No one knows yet. This year's fund-raising order has two more places set.

Two leather bag film companies registered in Hong Kong, one of which is the boss behind the scenes, is a Vietnamese Yankee, who once solved Cai Ziming; The behind-the-scenes boss of the family is Xu Jiakun, the director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency.

Xu Jiakun sold Chen Ping'an a very useful piece of information, and it was this information that made Cai Ziming completely useless to Chen Ping'an, and he could get rid of this guy who had offended him several times without any scruples.

It's only half a million dollars!

Xu Jiakun is too little. At the beginning, he got 100 million yuan from China to set up a company in Hong Kong, but as a result, he lost 100 million yuan in taxes that the people in the mainland had saved and saved from frugality, and fattened himself and his family.

It's easy to get obsessed with the flowery life in Hong Kong. Comrade Lao Xu was unable to withstand the sugar-coated shells of capitalism and was completely degenerated. He originally wanted to use that information as a stepping stone to take a stake in Dark Horse International and enjoy dividends every year, but unfortunately Chen Ping'an refused, so he could only retreat to the second best thing and get a fixed share of the Jianghu fund-raising order. Available in two installments.

But 500,000 is still too little. Even if it is doubled, it will only earn 500,000 US dollars, which is not enough to enjoy a luxurious life!

received a complaining call from Xu Jiakuo. Chen Ping'an should have more diaphragm.

In later generations, he didn't know much about current affairs, and he didn't know that this guy would defect in a few years, but he felt that this old red comrade who had experienced the baptism of artillery fire was too fast and powerful. It did not match his impression of the old revolutionary image at all.

He will certainly not budge. And Comrade Lao Xu was constrained by his physique, so he could only stop complaining. Not to mention that it hasn't fallen yet, even if Hong Kong has returned. He can't move Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an still has the identity of a Chinese-American!

"Have the lambs stopped screaming?"

"You don't have to track this call. I won't be talking for too long. ”

"I'm not going to look for you anymore, the world is more interesting with you."

……

"Cards! Anthony. Very good! ”

At the end of May, the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs" was nearing its end, and today it was Dr. Chiton who fled in panic after learning that Hannibal had escaped. Hannibal, who had changed his dress, called the heroine Lin Qingxia.

This is a specially built set street on the outskirts of San Francisco, and Anthony Hopkins performs alone on the phone, pretending to call Lin Qingxia and saying many lines.

This kind of scene is more about acting skills, and no one plays it all by their own imagination. Anthony Hopkins is very good, and it is still Hannibal's elegant to perverted temperament, and his tone and tone are completely in place.

Later, I will have to shoot the footage of Dr. Chiton escaping and getting off the plane, and I will also need to record a passage from Anthony Hopkins and edit it in post-editing.

After this pass, the staff began to get busy. Move equipment, arrange extras, adjust brightness, re-set up cameras......

"Okay, all departments pay attention to ......"

In this way, three days later, "The Silence of the Lambs" was finally finished, but Anthony Hopkins questioned the film.

"Director, isn't it too fast?"

Three months, a movie, in Hong Kong, is considered slow, but in the United States, it is definitely a bit fast, so fast that it feels rushed.

Just like Wu Yusen's "That Killer Is Not Too Cold", which started before "The Silence of the Lambs", the current filming progress is only three-fifths, according to Wu Yusen's estimate, it will be good to be able to finish it before late July.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is not a multi-million dollar shoddy production of small productions, or a simple B-grade film, Anthony Hopkins originally agreed to take over this film, in addition to the script, but also to Chen Ping'an, the director.

The investment in this film is more than 10 million US dollars, which is not too big, but Chen Ping'an, as the best screenwriter of this year's Oscars and the director of the best picture, will definitely not smash his signboard. It is not easy for Chinese people in the United States, and the signboard that is easy to erect should be cherished.

"He's always been fast." Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of "Blood Spot", the one starring Shang Geyundun, there are many scenes in it that were filmed in the Kowloon Walled City. That movie was released in the spring in the United States, with a box office of more than 40 million, and he finished it in ten days. ”

"Ten days? Oh cake sellers! ”

Anthony Hopkins hadn't heard of the movie "Blood Spots", but he had heard of the Kowloon Walled City. He loved the documentary "City of Myths", and he also went to the Kowloon Walled City to experience life there.

Chen Ping'an patted him on the shoulder: "Let's get along for three months, can't you see my attitude towards movies?" When the post-production is over, I will invite you to watch the master together. Dustin Hoffman starred in my Rain Man last year and won this year's Oscar, and I'm hoping that next year's Oscar will be a film I directed. ”

"You mean me?" Foreigners never think that modesty is a virtue, but rather that it is a sign of hypocrisy, the title of Oscar-winning actor, and also has a super attraction to Anthony Hopkins, "Best actor who appeared for less than twenty minutes?" ”

Although it has not yet been post-edited, according to Anthony's calculations, the time he appears in this movie will not add up to more than twenty minutes. This is probably the saddest male lead, shorter than the appearance time of the second and third male leads in many movies.

Since one morning, when he accidentally found Chen Ping'an wearing pajamas and coming out of Lin Qingxia's room, he guessed that the relationship between the two was not limited to the director and actor.

Thinking back to the whole movie, although he is very important, he appeared for a short time, and the villain in the movie, Dr. Chiton and the psychopathic murderer Bill, did not appear for a long time, and it seems that everyone in the movie is around Lin Qingxia.

Therefore, he boldly speculated that the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" was specially shot by Chen Ping'an for Lin Qingxia.

When he first made this speculation, he was very unhappy, and he was not in a good state for two days, and ng often appeared during filming. When Chen Ping'an, who didn't know it, was talking to him about the play, the seriousness and sincerity on his body moved him.

Although he persuaded himself to devote himself to filming again, he still left a shadow in his heart.

And now, he actually heard Chen Ping'an say that he hopes he can hit the Academy Awards for Best Actor next year...... Do Orientals like to joke like that?

"His words are very powerful a lot of the time." Chen Ping'an in Lin Qingxia's heart is a little mysterious, and there is a feeling of blind worship, just like a woman who blindly trusts the man she loves deeply, "In Asia, he has a name, called 'God-given eyes', and he sees people very accurately." ”

Anthony Hopkins is still not convinced.

He can't be blamed for that. After so many years of movie advent and countless movies have been shot in various countries, which movie has the male protagonist in the film less than one-fifth of the whole film? Can this be called a male lead?

"This movie will be the film of Dark Horse International to hit the Oscars next year. If you attended this year's Oscars, you should be able to see that I am haunted by the omission of the best director. This time, I'm going to hit the best director again, and you're shouldering the responsibility of hitting the best actor.

I know you don't have a lot of time in movies, but if you still live as the best actor, you'll be one of the 'most' in Oscar history. Isn't it? Also, don't you think your performance is outstanding? ”

What else can Anthony say?

looked at Chen Ping'an seriously, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I hope your words can come true." However, whether or not I win the Oscar for Best Actor next year, I have no regrets about taking on this film, and I am very happy to meet Miss Lin, who is full of oriental charm, and Mr. Chen, who is different from my impression of Orientals. ”

"The Silence of the Lambs" was finished, and Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to visit Ban Zhong Chuhong, and then play in the United States for a few days, when I received a call from Hong Kong:

Something happened to Lizhi! (To be continued......) R1292
