Chapter 106: Hong Kong, How old
The title of this chapter is: Chapter 1o6 Hong Kong, hoo1dare lure!
Shen Zhenghui went to Hong Kong this time, with a whole team, composition, soundtrack, editing and other staff, so going to Hong Kong has become a benefit. 6 Yang has long been in Hong Kong, he and Zhu Xinghe also came to pick up the airport, Zhu Xinghe has already booked the hotel, the group lives near the Xiantao company, Zhu Jiafu, the boss of the Xiantao company, came to pick up the airport in person, which is quite a large list, converted into more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
After meeting Shen Zhenghui, Zhu Jiafu didn't seem too surprised, he was a little reserved, "We are very honored that Mr. Shen chose our Xiantao company, but we will prove that your choice is correct." ”
Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word, Zhu Jiafu brought out his wife, this famous star still has the same temperament, Shen Zhenghui shook hands with her politely. Mrs. Zhu seemed to be a little curious about Shen Zhenghui's choice of her husband's company, "Mr. Shen, please forgive me for being curious," she asked, "There should be similar companies in Japan, why do you fancy our Xiantao?" ”
Zhu Jiafu interjected on the side, "Because we did a good job!" The success of "Fengyun" and "Chinese Heroes" made Zhu Jiafu full of confidence.
Pursing his lips, Shen Zhenghui replied, "This is a very important aspect, I have seen Xiantao's works, and it should be able to meet our requirements." ”
"And what else?"
"Because it's cheap!"
"Huh?"
"American and Japanese stunt production zuò is too expensive, I also have a Japanese animation company in my hand, and they can also make the zuò I need, but the price is too high, even my company I won't use it." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand, "Big 6 doesn't have this technology for the time being, so it's still cost-effective in Hong Kong if you think about it." ”
Zhu Jiafu is not angry because of this, and the cheap price and good quality are also his comparative advantages.
Mrs. Zhu Miss Zhong smiled reluctantly, "The cooperation is pleasant, and I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”
"There is a chance," Shen Zhenghui nodded, "My film is an experiment, and if it succeeds, there is still a big film to be made." ”
Zhu Jiafu's eyes lit up, and he became more and more attentive.
For the next few days, Shen Zhenghui was busy communicating ideas with engineers and technicians from all walks of life, watching the film clips that came out of the production, and then he estimated the workload, if it was really to be completed completely, it would not take three months, and it was estimated that more than two months would be enough.
His acquaintances in Hong Kong couldn't wait for him to be idle, first Lin Jian called him, he recently invested in a series of small-budget films, some made and lost, and the overall flat had a slight surplus, but this is not what he wants, if there is no film that can generate a huge box office or word of mouth, Uniasia is not worth anything at all. Lin Jian called him and wanted to talk to him in detail about the script "The Departed" he recommended, although Lin Jian was very excited about this script and wanted to make a blockbuster to make money and earn word of mouth, but the risk was too great. At present, the film "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City" is a lesson from the past, seeing that the results in Hong Kong will not exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but it is still ranked first in the box office list, which obviously shows that the Hong Kong film market has shrunk, so Lin Jian is very hesitant about whether to invest or not, and he asked Shen Zhenghui to talk about two issues, one is the overseas travel of the film, and the other is the financing of the film. In addition, he is also still thinking about the timing of the filming. At least wait until the box office of "The Battle of the Forbidden Peak" comes out in the mainland.
In comparison, Mr. Xiang of Yongsheng was a little anxious to find Shen Zhenghui. The promotional investment of "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City" is 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and the publicity cost is actually about the same. But the box office in Hong Kong may only be 30 million, Yongsheng has already vomited blood, and Hong Kong and the mainland are not released at the same time, and by the time the mainland is released, pirated discs are already all over the streets. Mr. Xiang was anxious to talk to Shen Zhenghui about the price of overseas travel, and now he can pay a little less.
Fukuda Mitsumi and Shen Zhenghui set the shares clearly, Shen Zhenghui began to be cautious about this kind of thing, and felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to decide this kind of thing, so he turned to Zhuxing Kazuya and asked him to negotiate with these two, and then asked Fukuda Mitsumi for instructions. His excuse was that he wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to the production of the film.
However, his attitude was misunderstood by both parties as deliberately drying them and taking the opportunity to ask for more benefits. During this period, Shen Zhenghui also went to visit Stephen Zhou, although he had signed a contract and was ready to invest, but the preparation of Stephen Zhou's new film was as slow as a snail crawling, on the one hand, this was because Stephen Zhou was officially a director for the first time, and he was too cautious in everything, and he himself was a character who pursued perfection too much in his work. In addition, both the special effects and the action direction of this film are very important, so a lot of time is spent on the early stage.
Although Shen Zhenghui didn't rush him, Stephen Zhou still resisted the arrival of the investor, so Shen Zhenghui had to talk to him about the big 6 line and introduce the relationship of the big 6 to him, in fact, the most important thing is to introduce his father to Stephen Zhou, Shen Zhenghui's own films have to go through his father's network, and the relationship between China Film and Poly is all contacted by Shen Xingguo. Shen Zhenghui persuaded Stephen Zhou to prepare early on the big 6 lines, so that the shooting must be completed as soon as possible and reviewed as soon as possible.
"But you also know what the big 6 football looks like, well, people all over the country and the world know it, but sometimes they just can't say it, after all, they have swept the face of some bureaucrats, and the ability of these people to do things without bad things is quite high, so it's really hard to say whether this film can be released in the big 6, we do our best and plan for the worst." He and Stephen Chow said so.
Stephen Zhou expressed his affection to his face.
Just because he visited Stephen Zhou, he obviously didn't concentrate on the attitude of the new film production Zuò, so Yongsheng and the bosses of Uniasia came to them.
Fortunately, this time none of them brought female celebrities.
Yongsheng and Liu Tianwang have cooperated a lot, and a series of small-budget films shot by Uniasia during this time were shot with Nicholas Xie. This time, Uniasia is ready to invest in "The Departed", and he also has to deal with Yongsheng, so Lin Jian and Mr. Xiang invited Shen Zhenghui to dinner together, thinking that Shen Zhenghui would not refuse if the face of the two people was combined.
Of course, Shen Zhenghui would not refuse, but before that, he had already communicated with Mitsumi Fukuda. In order to avoid becoming a trash can for Hong Kong films, Mitsumi Fukuda still wants him to show a tough attitude, after all, this time it was someone else who asked for it, and it was not that he was crying and shouting to send money to invest in movies and buy movies. Shen Zhenghui naturally understands that with the further rise of the Big 6 economy and the further decline of Hong Kong's economy, which of these Hong Kong film companies will not look at the face of the mainland market and the mainland government in the future? In the same way, which of them is not equally coveted in the foreign market? This is a priori determination of Hong Kong, a small place, and this small place is not a strategic place like Singapore, but a place where the status can be replaced.
Mitsumi Fukuda is nothing more than saying that don't take them too seriously in terms of mentality. Shen Zhenghui thought to himself at that time: Isn't my daily expression enough to show my attitude? Are you still worried? But if you think about it carefully, Mitsumi Fukuda is probably afraid that she won't be able to get down, which is possible.
For example, on the table now, Mr. Xiang and Mr. Lin laughed and flattered themselves, praised the films they had made and the films they were making, and enthusiastically wanted to use preferential conditions to help make new films, Lin Jian also said that he could find a way to introduce the two new Japanese dramas ATV in the spring, and Shen Zhenghui tried to stiffen his face to express his polite gratitude. He didn't know if he was right. Zhuxing and this guy is quite worthy of affirmation, formulaic words are a bunch of bunches, it sounds very affectionate, but it doesn't have much practical significance, and it comes and goes to ask for instructions, report, and reflect to superiors.
Zhu Jiafu took his wife as a companion, and all the people present were his big customers and potential big customers, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to maintain a relationship, but when it came to other people's business, he didn't participate, and only talked about technology on the side, and at the same time promoted his company's capabilities.
Zhu Jiafu's wife, Miss Zhong, is good at talking, and with her on her side, Shen Zhenghui doesn't have to worry about his attitude being too indifferent and leading the cold scene. In addition, this person has a very good amount of wine and drinks very boldly, and the originally somewhat rigid atmosphere is dissolved in her smile.
"Is Miss Zhong interested in making a comeback?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, "Your demeanor has not diminished back then!" ”
Miss Zhong glanced at her husband, "I'm already an old man, how can I compare with young people now!" ”
"You are wrong about this, if you come out again, Hong Kong movies may still be saved." Shen Zhenghui interjected on the side, "It's that Mr. Zhu has no will to save Hong Kong!" ”
Lin Jian and Mr. Xiang's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Shen's words are too exaggerated, how can I be used in Hong Kong movies now?" Miss Zhong covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhu Jiafu raised his glass, "Mr. Shen, you came to Hong Kong to find my company to do special effects, haven't I done enough to save Hong Kong movies?" ”
Shen Zhenghui heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, so he also raised his glass, "I said it wrong, Mr. Zhu is a great hero of Hong Kong movies, I want to toast you." After saying that, he stood up and drank it all.
Mr. Xiang and Mr. Lin seemed to have made an appointment, and after this cup, they left the table at the same time to go to the bathroom.
These are both competitors and collaborators, and on the way to the bathroom, they gathered into a corner and politely took out their cigarettes.
"What do you think he means by this attitude now?" Mr. Xiang asked Lin Jiandao, "You have been in contact with him for a long time. ”
Lin Jian snorted, "I can't notice it either, I feel like he has a much colder attitude, could it be that he has any opinion of us?" ”
Mr. Xiang took a hard sip, "It's because you're much colder to me, shouldn't he still think that I did what happened last time?" ”
Lin Jian was silent.
