The decision is settled, but it takes a lot of time to prepare.

Since Shen Zhenghui does not need to invest, he does not need to participate in a lot of preliminary work. According to Wang Anping, it is good to leave the matter of raising investment to her, and there will be as many as you want anyway.

Shen Zhenghui probably knows what is going on, generally speaking, this kind of investment of the second generation of red is this kind of investment with the nature of political tasks, so it is not too easy to get it. Just find a central enterprise to invest in it, and you don't have to worry about what profits you make in the later stage. However, if you really want to invest more than 300 million, you still have to do it a little more reliably, although more than 300 million is not much money, but if you use it to make movies, the name is too big, and it will directly surpass Director Zhang's 30 million US dollars, so it is necessary to do it strictly, at least you can't make a company pay this money, you can find a few more investors. Anyway, these things are all handed over to Wang Anping to operate, and Shen Zhenghui doesn't have to worry about it at all.

After a brief stop in Pingjing, Shen Zhenghui flew straight to Tokyo. He has a lot to do, and since he has to shoot "Shanghai Fortress", it is obvious that "Tokyo Fortress" is naturally on the schedule.

"Can't you wait two years for this?" Mitsumi Fukuda couldn't help but complain, "Shooting this according to the current technology is simply burning money!" ”

"It's not impossible to be two years late, but if it's really late when the technology is mature, the so-called selling point will depreciate accordingly, that is to say, although it costs a little more now, the box office will also be so high that it will break the record, although the cost of making zuò can be reduced in the future. But everyone is already accustomed to this kind of Cheng dù's films, and they will not get a higher box office. Shen Zhenghui explained, "Therefore, it is necessary to start this project in advance," he paused, ""Shanghai Fortress is a comprehensive investment in the filming of "Shanghai Fortress", which is just an opportunity to train technicians and accumulate experience, in addition to "Shanghai Fortress" and "Tokyo Fortress", we can also shoot "New York Fortress", "New Delhi Fortress", "London Fortress" and ......

Mitsumi Fukuda stared at Shen Zhenghui for a long time, and then said. "You're just talking nonsense."

Yes. You can see it. Shen Zhenghui gritted his teeth.

"Tell me, whose private job is it this time?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked bluntly.

"It's not a private job, I have this plan myself, but the plan is in advance." Shen Zhenghui said. "According to the popularity of Japanese anime. Obviously, the cost of film recycling is not a problem at all. By the way, it can also establish the status of our spring pictures. ”

Mitsumi Fukuda pouted, "You just say it directly." ”

"This is also a chess game to enter the Chinese market, and the world's second largest film market will definitely need early training in the future. We want to make a name for ourselves here. ”

"I said it, let you say it directly." Mitsumi Fukuda spread her hands, "Do I seem to be such a person who doesn't understand your national conditions?" ”

"The construction of the Wang family." Shen Zhenghui could only answer directly.

"I know," she snorted, throwing a copy of the text in front of Shen Zhenghui, "Look at what this is!" ”

"Mysterious Capital Acquires Xiantao Digital Technology," Shen Zhenghui was shocked when he saw the title, and then looked all the way down the order of the text, it was obvious that although the person who collected the information did not say it explicitly, it can be clearly seen from the information According to the analysis, this capital is from the mainland, although it appears under the guise of various foreign capital.

"This means......" Shen Zhenghui looked at Mitsumi Fukuda.

"Obviously your good friend's handiwork," Mitsumi Fukuda snorted, then looked at Shen Zhenghui with a serious gaze, "I think we're already a lot behind in this matter." ”

"I remember Xiantao, you also have shares."

"Yes, but I didn't expect them to get so much," Mitsumi Fukuda grinned, "I'm out of control now." ”

"We never thought of taking control," Shen Zhenghui advised, "the Japanese market simply can't support such technology companies, so why bother ...... if they can buy services in the market?"

"Isn't that you? Are you just staying in the Japanese market? Mitsumi Fukuda asked rhetorically.

"Well, if you say that, it's really ......" Shen Zhenghui narrowed his eyes.

"I've decided to set up our own stunt department with some of them," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "It's one thing to have an eye, it's another thing to do it, let's hone it slowly, I'm still waiting for your Fort of New York!" When the time comes, let Colombia pay for it, and see if I don't cut them 120 million dollars -- dollars. Mitsumi Fukuda gritted her teeth and said.

"Uh, so what about my current "Shanghai Fortress"?"

"Shoot, but try to use our people." Mitsumi Fukuda smiled, "They have experience, don't they?" ”

It's true that you say this, Shen Zhenghui thought to himself, in the end, it must be the crews of the three places working together, anyway, it's not that he hasn't worked, he is not worried about this, anyway, when Japan's "Tokyo Fortress" is filmed in the future, the Japanese can also use it, and the Chinese can also use it, which can be regarded as strengthening exchanges.

"Isn't the idea of buying a special effects company just A money?" Mitsumi Fukuda's expression was a little disdainful, "This acquaintance of yours doesn't look very good." ”

"It's already quite a rule." Shen Zhenghui still has to work hard to help Wang Anping defend a few words, "At least I have been doing business." ”

"Do you call investing in real estate a business?" Mitsumi Fukuda laughed, "Wouldn't the industry I do be more realistic." ”

For Fukuda Mitsumi's unexplained hostility, Shen Zhenghui could only smile.

"Black Fist 2 has been scheduled to be released," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Before the World Cup opens, this is the best time, we can't keep it until July and August, and that time is reserved for "Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incident Book", for this film, people all over the country are looking forward to it. ”

"It's not what we planned...... Never mind. "Seeing Mitsumi Fukuda posing like it's because you're not there, I have to make decisions on my own. Shen Zhenghui had to shrink up.

"Anything else? If not, I'll talk to my assistant director about making a film. Shen Zhenghui said.

"Did you watch the Oscars live?"

"Ah, I was in a meeting during that time, I didn't have time and mind at all, I didn't even read the newspaper, and I forgot about the website," Shen Zhenghui's eyes widened, "I remember that we should have a crew to participate in this event, how about it?" ”

"It's the crew of Zhou Xingxing's 'The Green Hornet,'" Mitsumi Fukuda said. Tomoaki Aonuma also received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

"Oh. Did she get it? Shen Zhenghui asked.

"You're not excited at all?" Mitsumi Fukuda pouted.

"Because I don't think she can get it." Shen Zhenghui said, "If I get it, I will feel excited, and I don't have to be nominated." ”

"Yes, she lost to Jennifer? Connelly. But the Japanese don't think it's a shame. I think it's a miracle to be nominated. ”

"I can understand the psychology of the Japanese people. So what about The Green Hornet? Shen Zhenghui continued to ask.

"I won an award for Best Original Screenplay, but other than that, I didn't get anything." Mitsumi Fukuda spreads her hands. "But even so, Zhou Xingxing himself is enough to be jealous of his Hong Kong counterparts and mainland counterparts."

"Indeed." Shen Zhenghui nodded, of course, Zhou Xingxing definitely hopes to win the best director and best film, but "The Green Hornet" is obviously not enough, the Best Original Screenplay Award is already good, at least Zhou Xingxing himself is one of the main screenwriters of "The Green Hornet".

"So she's got a lot of invitations to perform." Mitsumi Fukuda continued.

"Who? Zhou Xingxing? Isn't he filming Kung Fu? Shen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment.

"No, I'm talking about Tomoaki Aonuma, because she was nominated for an Oscar, so her value has risen dramatically, and now the Japanese media say that it was a huge mistake for you to choose Fujiwara Norika instead of her," Fukuda Mitsumi continued, after a pause, "Fujiwara Norika herself feels a lot of pressure. ”

"Didn't Fujiwara look forward when he was casting? At this time, the case began to be overturned again. Shen Zhenghui said disdainfully, but he touched his chin, "But Zhizhao really should help her more." ”

"I've always taken good care of her," Mitsumi Fukuda glanced at Shen Zhenghui, "but more care will trouble you." ”

"Alright, I got it." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "If "Shanghai Fortress" is not good, "Tokyo Fortress" must be okay, in fact, I think it is best that the actors in these two films can be mixed, anyway, it will be released in East Asia in the end." ”

"Of course I'm behind you." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "In addition, the United States has repeatedly invited you to the United States, and this time the Oscars they are going to let you be the guest of honor......

"Uh, forget it." Shen Zhenghui touched his chest, "I only now know that I have to participate in the two sessions every year, even if the whole country is counted, the two sessions in Pengcheng also want me to go, I haven't asked for leave this year, so I can only be regarded as absent." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda sneered, "You really take the vase job seriously." ”

"In any case, if you put on a layer of skin, you must always fulfill some obligations." Shen Zhenghui took out a manuscript paper as he spoke, "I have written the first draft of the script, and I am going to let Lu Yang and Miyamoto see how to revise it, it is best to let Miyamoto get the script of "Tokyo Fortress" out as well, and it would be best if the two scripts could echo each other." ”

"Alright, you can do it." Mitsumi Fukuda pushed away Shen Zhenghui's script, "I'm going to appoint Miyamoto as the head of the newly established special effects department. ”

Shen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, but he was busy and then said, "Okay, he is quite suitable, and he is also very familiar with business." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda nodded, and then said, "Now let's talk about your international student plan!" "In Europe, the United Kingdom and Germany have already been contacted, language schools have been found, and they can take the exams on their own after they finish their studies, no matter what school they are." Mitsumi Fukuda snorted, "Although I don't think the possibility of being admitted is too great, that is to play football in Germany, we have a plan to cooperate with the Hamburg youth team." ”

"It's too much of a struggle." Shen Zhenghui said, taking a stack of Wen Jiàn from Fukuda Mitsumi's hand.

"It's okay, the Japanese Football Association is doing this anyway. It's not too much to catch a Chinese. Mitsumi Fukuda said lightly.

Shen Zhenghui glanced at her and didn't speak, lowered his head to look at what he was doing.

"If you come to Japan, you can go to the Tokyo Language Education Institute and take the Japanese exam." Mitsumi Fukuda said.

"Well, he's actually young, just a sophomore in high school, and if he can't pass the exam once, give him more time." Shen Zhenghui responded, and then he said, "The same goes for that guy in Germany." ”

"What about the three in Britain?"

"Whatever they want." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand.

"These two are your good friends?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked.

Shen Zhenghui raised his head and stared at the other party seriously, "It used to be." ”

"Was it ever?" A thoughtful look flashed across her face. "You seem to be much older than them. Will you be able to make friends too? ”

Shen Zhenghui felt a cool air coming up his spine, making the hairs on his body instantly stand up, and he stared at Fukuda Mitsumi tightly, "We...... Indeed...... Friend. "That's pretty clear.

"Alright. I don't ask. Mitsumi Fukuda waved her hand. The script written by the kid named Ning Huan that you passed over is good. ”

"Of course. I know he's talented. Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips.

"It would be better if he didn't mix too much of the style of Korean dramas in the script." Mitsumi Fukuda said lightly, but her words were tantamount to detonating thunder in Shen Zhenghui's heart.

"The routines of Korean dramas are also vulgar routines. Inevitable. Shen Zhenghui tried to pretend to be normal and responded, "Do you suspect that this guy is also a traverser?" ”

"Of course I doubt it, I doubt anyone." Mitsumi Fukuda smiled, "I take everyone who may be like me very seriously. ”

Shen Zhenghui didn't say anything anymore.

"You can confess to me," Mitsumi Fukuda continued, "or do you continue to be wary, why?" ”

Shen Zhenghui opened his mouth, and then said seriously, "I said that I was friends with them. ”

"Which of your friends who went to Germany is a Chinese international in the future?" Mitsumi Fukuda tilted her head, "I haven't heard of it!" ”

Shen Zhenghui patted his forehead vigorously, and then stood up, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

"Wait," Mitsumi Fukuda stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Shen Zhenghui's clothes, "Are you coming over at night?" She asked, "Ling misses you so much." ”

Shen Zhenghui really couldn't continue to maintain a cold attitude, he turned around, "I don't believe it!" ”

"It's a pity, I still want you to take the trip to China and hand it over to her grandfather and grandmother!" Mitsumi Fukuda looked at the ceiling, "Then I can only let my grandparents come to Japan to pick her up." ”

Shen Zhenghui snorted vigorously, first reached out and took the script on the table, and then looked at Mitsumi Fukuda, "You give me a little face." He was a little helpless, "Sometimes can you pretend to be stupid." ”

"Didn't I pretend to be stupid when you brought back your girlfriend?" Mitsumi Fukuda stabbed back.

"Call Liu Xin, I want to ask about her company." Shen Zhenghui said helplessly.

"I know too, if you ask me." Mitsumi Fukuda said.

"Alright, don't mess around." Shen Zhenghui didn't care about the vinegar deduced by this kind of Fukuda Mitsumi, "What about Tomoaki Aonuma?" ”

"She's filming!" Mitsumi Fukuda replied, "If all three of them are here, you can't do it!" ”

"Let's get down to business!" Shen Zhenghui sighed, "Finally, there is a reason to postpone going to the United States." He said meaningfully.

"You should hope that the other person has enough patience." Mitsumi Fukuda replied.

……

Just when Shen Zhenghui was having a headache about women and men, China, which was across the sea from Japan, had already exploded.

For the Chinese, the most anticipated thing in 2002 is undoubtedly the World Cup, this matter is divided, and the release of Director Zhang's "Hero" will definitely be able to rank high.

The film has a large amount of investment, claiming to be 30 million US dollars, and the actors' salaries alone cost 15 million US dollars, close to 120 million yuan. At the beginning, Shen Zhenghui's blockbuster "Assembly Number" only lost 100 million yuan into it, and found a group of not very famous actors to perform to the effect. Director Zhang's film is all big-name stars, and the most popular acting schools in Hong Kong and Taiwan, international martial arts superstars, and top domestic actors are all used. Just looking at the lineup is enough to cheat money, the salary is 120 million, and the production cost is 120 million yuan. Such a film that will leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese cinema has suddenly become a stepping stone for another film, which is unacceptable to many people.

It was probably Wang Anping or her collaborator Tongguò Newspaper who first let off the wind - "The domestic film with the highest investment has entered the stage of preparation, whether director Shen Zhenghui can continue to be brilliant in the future, and the new idea of real people, the investment will exceed 300 million".

This is probably a reference to the hype model of "Hero", first reporting the cost to attract attention, and then using the celebrity's fame to attract the attention of reporters, maybe in the future, "Hero" will hold a premiere ceremony in the Great Hall of the People, strong measures to prevent piracy, etc., they will also learn from it, but the first thing to bear the brunt of the news is the turbulent Chinese film market and Director Zhang's crew.

The mainland market simply can't accommodate such blockbusters, 90% of the movies on the box office list are loss-making, and in recent years, the release of one blockbuster after another is, in the eyes of some, an aphrodisiac for the market. So when the reporters couldn't find Shen Zhenghui, they looked for insiders in the film industry and the crew of "Hero" to find news from them.

For the crew of "Hero", the question for reporters is: Are you under pressure? (To be continued......)
