Shen Zhenghui attended two meetings of the National People's Congress, one from Pengcheng City and one from Lingnan Province, and both of them had their deputies disqualified, so he was co-opted as a deputy to the National People's Congress. In a sense, Shen Zhenghui's fame in a short period of time is very conducive to his political progress, even people who don't pay attention to film and television entertainment news, after hearing that Shen Zhenghui is the director of "Assembly Number", they will express their very impression of Shen Zhenghui, and at the same time surprised by Shen Zhenghui's own youth, this young man who broke the box office record of China's domestic films is not yet 26 years old, such an achievement makes the entire film industry feel ashamed, and several bigwigs especially feel shameless.

Of course, when the Internet became popular in the future, when everyone began to discuss the director Shen Zhenghui, his results were not without black spots, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were still Zài's collective viewing and ordering movie viewing to give his box office results a lot of moisture, although even those who hacked him admitted that "Assembly" was intentional in the big scene, and after deducting the so-called water results of ordering to watch the movie, they preached that the box office of "Assembly" was really only about 100 million yuan, and the results of the two parts were divided into two. Although it was also very good, there were also Director Feng and Director Zhang who stood side by side with him at that time. All in all, if you want to hack a person, you won't be able to find black spots, Shen Zhenghui made his fortune from Japan, speculatively filmed movies with the main theme, caught up with the blowout of Chinese nationalism and got the help of the bureaucratic upper echelons, and achieving such results is not at all his ability to direct.

But at the moment, Shen Zhenghui is still enjoying the benefits that literary and art workers are valued for. Secretary Gao of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and the Propaganda Minister of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee met with Shen Zhenghui successively, expressed their happiness for his achievements, and encouraged him to make more such achievements. This made Shen Zhenghui, who was still relying on Wu Renhai, the Propaganda Minister of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, to obtain the state's animation subsidies in the first two years, feel that his career seems to be really progressing rapidly, after meeting with the No. 1 chief in the capital, in the face of local bigwigs, Shen Zhenghui has been able to do honor and disgrace without being surprised, and he can also face the pressure of the other party and laugh and laugh, for all kinds of open and secret temptations, the thirst for political achievements can also be easily faced and handled. Of course, just because he can play tricks as a little fox doesn't mean that his father and mother can run away in the same way. Shen Zhenghui, who returned to Pengcheng, rushed back to Japan after finishing the matter quickly. As a result, his parents couldn't erase all kinds of favors, and all kinds of people invited their family to various banquets and dinners, and Shen Zhenghui was exhausted for several days, and finally he was so frightened that he had to hide in the hospital and hang up liquid bottles. That's a cleansing.

But it won't be clean for long. The people on the mainland who are in the relationship are easy to say and sent away. The people of Hong Kong are here again. Lin Jian took the director of "Infernal Affairs" and Brother Hua to see Shen Zhenghui, who was said to be sick, and he wanted to arrange for "Infernal Affairs" to be released this summer, and he has been running relations on the mainland. I came to Shen Zhenghui to see if Shen Zhenghui also had a strong relationship.

"It's too rushed." Shen Zhenghui replied, "You have this kind of release time, the mainland is too late to do the release, if you want to make box office in the mainland, finally postpone a little and make full preparations, I mean, it is best to release it in December and get the Christmas file." Of course, this is just a build. ”

Although the box office of "Assembly" is close to 500 million to make Hong Kong people very hot, they also know that Hong Kong films can't get such a high box office in the mainland, this time the lineup of "Infernal Affairs" is indeed star-studded, but for the box office in the mainland, Lin Jian is not too confident, he pins his hopes on the box office in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, of course, the biggest hope is still in Japan.

"Of course, there is no problem with the release in Japan, but the schedule in Japan is also difficult to arrange," Shen Zhenghui replied, "You look at the success of "Shaolin Football" in March, we immediately arranged for "Journey to the West" to be released in April, the current results are very good, the box office has achieved nearly two billion, as far as spring is concerned, the focus in May is "Heisei Kazuo's Big Adventure" directed by Miyamoto, and "Slaying the Wolf" in June are all spring ready to focus on promotion. In July, as far as we know, Hayao Miyazaki's new film is ready to be released in July, and as soon as the anime is released, everyone will not be interested in watching live-action movies, and we will have to see when Shoji Murahama's GONZO's new film will be released, in addition, the impact of foreign Hollywood films, etc., so I think that instead of rushing to release the film, it is better to postpone it a little and find a good schedule and make preparations. ”

"It's all May, and it's really going to be postponed until December, it's too much pressure, Mr. Shen." Lin Jian said.

"It doesn't have to be December, it's just a little bit later," Shen Zhenghui replied, "It's better to be released simultaneously in Asia, so that the impact of piracy is smaller, have you talked about the release in South Korea?" ”

"I don't have many ways to go to South Korea, and some people take the initiative to come to the door, but the conditions are very harsh." Lin Jian replied.

"If you think it's okay, the Korean distribution can also be tried by Kasuga, and we just found a few partners in Korea." He said, "I think the key now is that you still have to finalize the release time in the mainland with China Film, there are a lot of things to submit for review here, and it is very troublesome to do, and other places can arrange the screening time in the mainland." ”

"I'll think about it," Lin Jian hesitated, "If it really doesn't work, that's the only way to go." ”

Brother Hua came to see Shen Zhenghui to talk about something else, he said that he hopes to cooperate with Kasuga and Shen Zhenghui, and he will contribute a sum of money to promote the so-called Asian Rising Star Director Program, with the help of Kasuga in Japan and his connections and platforms in Hong Kong, to discover new directors in various Asian countries and regions, mainly in Chinese areas, and support them to shoot new films. Shen Zhenghui has no objection to this plan, the company also needs to have a direction to burn money, but Brother Hua's vision is really not very good, he has spent enough money, but he has few achievements, but it is burning money. It doesn't matter. Shen Zhenghui hopes to tilt the direction towards the mainland a little, hoping to mainly fund commercial films or literary films with a commercial atmosphere, and not pure literary films.

Brother Hua also knew what a pure literary film was, and expressed his support for it, so the two reached a preliminary agreement in the ward, Liu Tianwang was responsible for recommending, Chunri was responsible for reviewing, and both sides contributed half of the money.

Then Liu Tianwang talked about another thing, he was very interested in the script of "Black Fist" and wanted to ask if "Black Fist 2" had a plan. He really wanted to be involved in the filming of this drama.

Wu Jin is the starring actor of "Black Fist", but his appearance in "Black Fist" is not eye-catching enough. was suppressed by Tony Jia in martial arts, and was suppressed by Daniel Wu, who had a love plot in literary dramas, and his baby face was really not in line with the atmosphere of the whole story. So after watching the whole film, the original first actor almost became the third actor in the end. If it weren't for the mysterious character Shen Zhenghui, there would not be enough scenes. He was suppressed even more. The third position cannot be maintained.

Brother Hua naturally doesn't want to be the protagonist, he hopes to be able to mix an important supporting role in "Black Fist 2", otherwise he will run a trick. The action movie of 2000, in addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Black Fist" is a film that has been widely recognized internationally, and it has become famous in Europe and the United States.

But Shen Zhenghui couldn't agree to it, and the script of the second part hadn't been written yet!

He said indifferently, "I'm also very happy that Brother Hua can be interested, but this matter really can't be settled for a while." It will take a long time to prepare for filming, and I really can't guarantee that there will be a lot of changes when the time is decided. ”

"Then it's good to run a trick!" Brother Hua said.

"Brother Xing also wants to play tricks, but I don't know if he will be free by then," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "Brother Hua, you may not be free at that time, if "Infernal Affairs" is popular, you will definitely want to make a sequel." ”

"Really?"

"It's going to catch fire, trust me." Shen Zhenghui replied, "We haven't made up our minds about how to shoot "Black Fist" in the future, and now it seems that Tony Jia must be one of the necessary actors, and the others have not yet decided. Wu Jin's face ......" Shen Zhenghui shook his head.

"If you leave me a role, I will definitely try to squeeze time to play it, and the salary doesn't matter." Liu Tianwang said so.

Lin Jian also has his own thoughts, "Director Shen, don't you think about the heroine in "Black Fist 2"? ”

"I'm sorry," Shen Zhenghui was a little embarrassed, "There are too many women in Queens, and we have more factors to consider when choosing the protagonist." ”

Lin Jian sighed and didn't continue to say anything.

In fact, this is also a headache for Shen Zhenghui, he himself has not decided on the next plan, but many people are anxious for him to decide quickly. Zhen Bullet, Brother Hong, and other related people have expressed their willingness to participate in "Black Fist 2" through various relationships and expressed their willingness to get paid less. From the popularity of "Black Fist" and the plot at the end, it can be inferred that there must be a sequel to this film, and the sooner this sequel is filmed, the better.

In addition, Yongsheng and Jiahe of the Xiang family have handed over olive branches, expressing their desire to participate in the production of "Black Fist 2", no matter what aspect of work.

The reason for this situation is that the box office of "Black Fist" is certainly an element of stimulation, and the demonstration effect of Zhou Xingxing's profit is also indispensable. So far, the box office of "Shaolin Football" has reached 360 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only the results achieved in Asia, with an income of about 120 million and 70 million after deducting investment. The 70 million, spring and Zhou Xingxing are divided according to the proportion of four or six, Zhou Xingxing can be divided into 42 million, Chunri's income is 28 million Hong Kong dollars, and the return on investment is more than 50%, and more importantly, this is only the current income, which will be released in new markets in the future, as well as DVD copyright and other related information, this is another lot of money, for the current Hong Kong where a few million box office can be on the box office list, this is simply eye-catching.

In fact, Kasuga earned more than 28 million, and part of the theaters of "Shaolin Football" released in Japan were Kasuga, and it earned more as a theater chain and distributor. And then. Taking advantage of the big sales of "Shaolin Football", the re-released "Journey to the West" has also achieved good results, and the current two films have exceeded 2 billion yen, and the box office has reached more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the best thing is that Spring has the distribution rights of DVDs and videotapes of "Shaolin Football" and "Journey to the West" in Japan, which is a long-term business, so much so that Shen Zhenghui has decided to give Zhou Xingxing a red envelope of 30 million and make up enough money for him to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Coupled with business endorsements, etc., although Zhou Xingxing may not be able to catch up with Jack Cheng this year, the second position seems to be appropriate.

As a result, not only Haruhi and Shen Zhenghui have become the sweethearts of the Hong Kong film industry. Even Zhou Xingxing himself. also has the troubles that Shen Zhenghui is suffering, several major companies in Hong Kong are trying to win over Xing Ye to cooperate with him again, and everyone is eager to let Shen Zhenghui shoot "Black Fist 2", everyone also hopes that Zhou Xingxing will hurry up and shoot "Shaolin Football 2". Right now. For the Hong Kong film industry. After Jack Cheng, Jet Lee, and Chow Yun-fat left one after another, Zhou Xingxing himself became the only savior of Hong Kong movies, and many people counted on him to eat.

But Zhou Xingxing's temper doesn't seem to be very suitable for this situation. Under the guise of going to Japan to promote, he escaped from Hong Kong, a place of right and wrong, and went to Japan to recuperate and recuperate by the way, thinking about pondering his next script, of course, he is very likely to not do his job, thinking about making real estate to make money, but with 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the account, Xing Ye may feel that making movies is still more profitable, so it is not necessary to concentrate on making movies.

Shen Zhenghui did not have the foresight to sympathize with Xing Ye, he was also tired of his situation in the ward, all the people who came under the banner of visiting the sick were not about their own condition, basically they wanted to lure or force themselves to work according to their ideas, Shen Zhenghui was not safe in the ward, he did not have a secretary in the mainland, even his parents couldn't stand this situation for a long time, and seeing that his son was actually fine, he left him in the hospital and ran away by himself. Of course, Shen Xingguo really couldn't stand it, because what he did and what Shen Zhenghui did were all the way, and those who couldn't convince Shen Zhenghui hoped to be able to persuade him, and then indirectly forced Shen Zhenghui to start working.

So Shen Xingguo found an excuse to run the release of "Bright Sword", and he dropped it alone. Shen Zhenghui was also discharged from the hospital in a hurry, wandered around Jinhong Magazine and the original animation, and hurriedly arranged some work, first through Hong Kong, and then prepared to go back to Japan.

The results of Miyamoto's new film are mixed.

"The Great Adventure of Heisei Kazuo" received high praise and box office in Japan, and critics said that he showed a rich imagination and enough control, making the absurd plot show enough tension and appeal, and at the same time showing the charm of Japan from one side. To be honest, many Japanese people don't know how these experts come up with their brains. In the eyes of many Japanese otaku, "The Great Adventure of Heisei Kazuo" is a YY movie for otaku, which realizes the fantasy that otaku usually cannot realize on the big screen and shows it to everyone, so that everyone feels like they see the mirror of their own thoughts when they watch this movie, and they feel as if many things are buried deep in their hearts. Many of the ACG memes make these otaku smile heartily, and it's not much of a risk but rather a journey of their own minds.

Of course, for another part of the audience, this rich film is more like a pastime. Those rich imaginations, dazzling pictures all the time, the contrast between reality and imagination, all the time let these audiences free themselves from the boredom of daily life, and then relax and laugh. The overly exaggerated plot makes everyone realize the existence of absurdity when watching the movie, and they are teased by the protagonist's self-talking brain thoughts, and they laugh, envy, and sympathize with the protagonist who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality.

After the script of Mushroom and the rich elements of Japanese animation, the whole film seems suitable for all ages, and everyone can see the part of their own life experience, so that this film has triggered a social wave, so that all people participate in their understanding of this film, or from their own experience, express their own understanding of fantasy and reality, this is a soothing Japanese film. Just as a child who reads a martial arts novel for the first time can't believe that there is such an interesting story in this world, the Japanese can't imagine that the ordinary world under the imagination of a madman can be so interesting.

In just three weeks after its release, the box office revenue has reached 3 billion yen, and seeing that there is a drama at the top of the box office list of Japanese domestic films, this has further stimulated the enthusiasm of Japanese movie-watching.

But outside of Japan, the plot doesn't seem to be very pleasant.

Maybe some viewers who understand Japanese cultural knowledge and like Japanese anime and comics can also smile from the bottom of their hearts at the story setting and the deep ACG background, but the vast majority of moviegoers do not have such a prima, and they have no feeling for the laughter in the film. Miyamoto's film barely earned NT$40 million at the box office in Taiwan, which is quite successful, but in Hong Kong, the box office is only 4 million, and the street is at its extreme.

This worries Shen Zhenghui, perhaps in essence, Miyamoto is a Japanese director entirely, and at the same time he feels that introducing the ACG duo to Miyamoto may be the starting point that leads him astray. But for now, that fear doesn't seem to be well said. (To be continued......)
