Chapter 187: The Completion of "The Green Hornet" and the Coming of 911

Shen Zhenghui didn't have time to care about how the Japanese and Chinese governments were going to use themselves, and all his energy was focused on contacting the American crew. With the help of a bunch of elite assistant directors, Zhou Xingxing's "The Green Hornet" is progressing rapidly. Out of respect for the dominance of the star of Zhou, Colombia did not deserve him a bigger star, and he himself chose Christian from a bunch of applicants? Bell as his own collaborator.

This choice surprised Shen Zhenghui, Bale is an Englishman, born as a child star, and starred in Spielberg's movie "Empire of the Sun" at the age of 13, but his real fame will not be until he starred in Batman. According to the assistant director's report, it is because Zhou Xingxing has taken a fancy to the other party's acting skills, and it is not difficult for Bell to play a playboy, and he can express more subtle things.

Miyamoto reported enough things, and the last thing this Japanese director lacks is meticulous observation and keenness, but he is still a bit of a mess in the overall situation, and he must accept the help of others - this is Shen Zhenghui's view, of course, the vast majority of Japanese directors are like this, even if they are Japan's top directors, Japan's top directors are no longer Japanese in spirit.

Shen Zhenghui also hopes that Miyamoto can undergo such a transformation.

Miyamoto called every day to report the situation of the crew to Shen Zhenghui, Shen Zhenghui himself, as a nominal producer, also faithfully fulfilled his obligations, and the investment in this film is currently the largest investment decided by Shen Zhenghui for Kasuga, in a certain way. It is a decisive investment, although in Fukuda Mitsumi's view, the failure of the investment is just to slow down the pace of development, but for Shen Zhenghui it is a little unacceptable.

Over the years, the huge return on film investment has been swallowed up by the development of various businesses, Shen Zhenghui himself has been able to see a certain operating situation from the company's statements after a long period of training, cash flow is a very important thing, and the development of business continues to eat up cash flow into capital on the books, once the flow of funds is not timely, assets will face the trouble of bad debts. $40 million for a behemoth conglomerate. It's actually nothing. In the future, Sony's losses will be measured in 100 million yuan. But for Shen Zhenghui, he has not yet honed the psychology of not caring about the bank's debts, and the previous transfer of the equity of the real estate company to the Wang family also frightened the possibility of the bank forcing debts. For a traverser. Insecurity is also an occupational disease.

Miyamoto's report included these. The progress of the shooting, Zhou Xingxing's work, and the coordination of the work with the American side. The actor's situation, the financial status of the crew, etc., every once in a while, he will write a detailed report and send it to Shen Zhenghui, even if the director can't do his job in the future, he can be a good producer.

From Miyamoto's report, Shen Zhenghui knew that Zhou Xingxing was very dissatisfied with the work attitude of the American side, and his work attitude of excellence also made the American staff in the crew dissatisfied, but fortunately, relying on the coordination of the three assistant directors, the staff from Japan and Hong Kong were responsible for the main work of the crew, and Zhou Xingxing's own filming progress was able to maintain normal. Miyamoto reported that Zhou Xingxing himself was dissatisfied with all aspects of the United States, and threatened not to go to the United States to make movies again.

Shen Zhenghui could only smile with understanding, making a movie in the United States is indeed too expensive, if it weren't for the fact that this is an American story and had to be filmed in the United States, Shen Zhenghui would like to shoot in a different place, even if it is better to shoot in Pingjing than in the United States.

Also interesting is Christian? Bell is very dedicated to his work and very cooperative with the work of the crew, and Zhou Xingxing himself is also very polite to him. Bell himself is very interested in filming kung fu films, and he learns kung fu with Yuan Xiangren when he has time in the crew, he himself just got married last year, and his wife comes to the crew every day to visit the class and send food to the crew. Even Zhou Xingxing himself is considering the next sequel to continue to cooperate with Bell. Of course, the premise is that filming in the United States cannot continue.

According to Miyamoto, Zhou Xingxing himself is under a lot of pressure, he is the first time to independently direct a film with such a large investment scale, and he has to deal with all aspects, plus he is filming in the United States, and he has to abide by the working methods and working habits of Americans, which makes him very depressed. Miyamoto said that Zhou had a hard time falling asleep every night, thinking about the next day's shooting until late, and had to continue working while hanging water for days. This aroused the admiration of the rest of the crew. Miyamoto didn't mention his work much, but Shen Zhenghui obviously knew that since the director was under such pressure, the assistant director would naturally not be easy, and Zhou Xingxing himself was not good at communication, so someone had to do these things. Miyamoto, who had worked in the United States, was certainly the most favorable candidate for the job. Yuan Xiangren was in charge of action design, and Lu Yang was not very good at these things, so the Japanese Miyamoto had to go up. Thinking of Miyamoto, a Japanese who spoke Japanese English to negotiate with Americans, Shen Zhenghui felt ridiculous.

However, Miyamoto greatly praised Tomoaki Aonuma in the report, as the second only to the leading actor Cameron? Diaz's female number two, Tomoaki Aonuma's appearance on the screen is very limited, and Zhou Xingxing himself prefers Tomoaki Aonuma to act like a mute girl in "Kung Fu", and basically has no lines. Because I think I'm Japanese, it may be difficult to say my lines.

But Tomoaki Aonuma's appearance surprised not only the director, but also everyone in the crew. The identity of the woman who stared at Shen Zhenghui entered the crew, and it was natural to be regarded as coming in through a relationship, but when she started working, Tomoaki Aonuma impressed those who looked down on her. Knowing this time, some people are interested in learning that this Japanese female star has undergone formal acting learning and training in Chinese mainland.

Compared with the old woman in 2011's "The Green Hornet", she is still at the peak of her charm, which is reminiscent of the meat bullet in "Strange Heroes in Disguise", but compared with the youth and innocence expressed by Tomoaki Aonuma, she is still closer to the American hot girl. The two of them completely show two styles in the play. Asians will obviously prefer Tomoaki Aonuma's table xiΓ n. But Americans may be more aware, and of course, their appearance does not let their beauty belittle each other.

However, Miyamoto's admiration is more aimed at Tomoaki Aonuma's role outside of filming. As Miyamoto, who has a strange English, it is really helpless to do communication and coordination work, and the translators of the crew can't stand the heavy work. Tomoaki Aonuma took the initiative to take on part of the translation work, and even many times, her expression was much more powerful and effective than Miyamoto's.

The Japanese girl who speaks Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese and English, with a language level that far exceeds that of the Japanese, and her affinity within the crew is a powerful way to communicate with the Japanese and Chinese (including Hong Kongers), as well as the Americans. Of course. The rumor that she was rumored to have a leg with Shen Zhenghui also played a big role. But of course, Miyamoto will not mention it, on the one hand, everyone admires her work level and work attitude, on the other hand, there are many people who are jealous of her status and treatment.

In his letter to Shen Zhenghui, Tomoaki Aonuma did not mention how he behaved in the crew. If assistance helps the director. He was like a little woman. Carefully recorded everything in the crew and everyone's attitude, and she expressed her admiration for Zhou Xingxing's work attitude. Respect for the ability of the assistant director, flattered by the friendly attitude of his American counterpart towards him. In fact, Thomas also attaches great importance to this cooperation with Kasuga and Shen Zhenghui, and Hollywood is not a static place, and the status of the seven major companies is not eternal.

Although Columbia was acquired by Sony, it still maintains a certain degree of independence, and in terms of the company's business, if it can open up a new channel, it will naturally be a huge support for the company's operation. After all, the probability of losing money is very large, what Thomas values is that Shen Zhenghui seems to have never lost, of course, this may be that he has not yet met his own failure, but for the development of new markets, Colombia has always been not weaker, they have noticed the emerging market of China very early, and established an office in Pingjing, trying to deeply intervene in the country's film market. Now, they see the greatest possibility from Shen Zhenghui.

The Americans involved in the crew have been taught that their main job is to cooperate with the Japanese and Hong Kong people, but as arrogant Americans, they do not quite understand the meaning of the word cooperation, and habitually bring their usual attitude into their work.

Lu Yang's report was full of self-commendation, although he did not hide the merits of others, but between the lines, Shen Zhenghui could still read a strong sense of superiority. Lu Yang also talked about Zhou Xingxing's seriousness in his work, but his feeling was that he was too serious and too keen, and at the same time talked about Miyamoto's seriousness and keen unconditional implementation of Zhou Xingxing himself. He writes about the conscientiousness of Yuan Xiangren's work, but also hints that Yuan is indifferent to things outside of his work. He complained a little about the working environment, but said that he was able to overcome these difficulties and persevere until the filming was completed.

The text is impermeable, but Shen Zhenghui obviously feels that Lu Yang seems to feel that he can get closer to Shen Zhenghui and become some kind of Cheng DΓΉ's henchman.

For this attitude, Shen Zhenghui could only laugh, he didn't have the heart to care about his subordinates competing for favor at this time.

Soon, the filming of the crew came to an end, and the crew will shoot the last shot, where the character played by Zhou Xingxing and the playboy played by Bell bid farewell and want to live their ordinary and ordinary lives.

The story ends on the streets of New York, and according to Zhou Xingxing's arrangement, it should be that he himself refuses Bell's seductive invitation and resolutely turns around and embarks on the path of his own life. And then the story ends there, and the theme of the table is that everyone can be their own Green Hornet, rather than relying on others entirely.

But there was a big accident in the shooting that day, just as Zhou Xingxing shook his head and said, "No! When Bell refused the invitation, a plane lowered its figure and passed over the crew's heads, and for a moment not only the crew members, but also the two leading actors also raised their heads, and the camera forgot to turn off the camera, and then they saw a scene that made them jaw-dropping, the plane crashed into the World Trade Tower.

The audience was stunned for a long time, and the Americans in the crew began to scream, although there was no more scene. Cameron was still on the scene to prepare for the post-graduation celebrations, at this time she clasped her hands and kept calling out to Jesus and Maria, and many people couldn't help but run in the direction of the World Trade Tower. The reason for the end of the shoot was that it was a place to capture the World Trade Tower, a landmark building in New York, but it seemed that this design had become a burden.

Bell turned around and asked, as if in a play, "Doesn't a scene like this make you change your decision?" He asked.

Zhou Xingxing looked into the distance, then at Bell, and nodded silently.

And then, another plane.

The Americans present began to exclaim God.

Lu Yang was the first to recover from his shocked feelings. He walked over to the photographer, who was already completely distracted. After carefully reviewing the content of the shooting during this time, the photographer completely forgot to turn off the camera, so all the shots were filmed without landing on the ground. Lu Yang walked to Zhou Xingxing's side and reminded him. "The crew has to call it a day right away. It's definitely not possible for us to continue filming around here. Our film needs to be put away. ”

Zhou Xingxing also recovered from his shock, but all the Americans had no intention of working, so the Hong Kongers and Japanese packed their things. Also began to help the Americans and coordinate the work of the crew. Miyamoto had just urged his crew to take the film away in a car, and less than an hour later, the entire World Trade Center collapsed. Then the scene was cordoned off, and the crew members who stayed in place were all detained by the police and the FBI after identifying themselves, especially the large number of yellow people in the crew, which made the police and the FBI more vigilant, even if the Colombian staff identified themselves, their camera equipment was still detained, and even the cameras of the cast and crew were also detained, and the contents were all reviewed by experts, and it was not until midnight that the crew came out of the police station with the help of the vice president of Colombia.

Although it was obvious that he had suffered unfair treatment, no one in the crew complained. Zhou Xingxing himself seemed to be in some kind of contemplation, at the time of the accident, Qingnuma Tomoaki couldn't help but dial Shen Zhenghui's phone, she didn't notice that the bell rang only once, and Shen Zhenghui answered the phone This detail. On the phone, she cried about what she had seen and heard at the scene, and then under Shen Zhenghui's comfort, she gradually recovered her feelings. But after entering the police station, her phone was also confiscated, and the call records to Shen Zhenghui were also extracted by experts.

And in Japan, Mitsumi Fukuda watched and listened to Shen Zhenghui quietly comforting Tomoaki Aonuma almost with a mocking expression.

"It's unimaginable." She said, "You're really not bad! ”

"It's hard for me to hear such praise from you." Shen Zhenghui replied, hung up the phone, and continued to gather in front of the computer to watch Fukuda Mitsumi's operation, "No problem, right?" He asked.

"Of course, this is a rare opportunity to make money, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I will not miss it. Can't miss it either. "I've always suspected that this was a self-directed and self-staged event by the U.S. military-industrial complex, or rather, they would have been able to prevent it from happening, but they just didn't do it because it was in their better interest if it happened." ”

"Ah, I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories about Roosevelt deliberately sitting back and watching the pearl light incident happen, but there has to be evidence."

"Well, we're not historians, we don't need inferences with evidence, we just need to know what the results are." Mitsumi Fukuda spread her hands, "The actual layout started a few days before 911 began, and now all we have to do is sit back and watch our results." ”

Shen Zhenghui narrowed his eyes, "I can't believe that you have so much hidden strength," he said, "It seems that it is not for nothing that you don't care about the spring and let me toss it at all, is the temptation of the spring really too small?" ”

"Ah, if you had come to this world decades earlier, you would have done a lot of things in advance and gained enough richness." Mitsumi Fukuda pursed her lips, "This is the result of my master, I just stood on his shoulder." ”

Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

"But I think you'll be able to surpass him in your lifetime, after all, the Chinese market is bigger," Fukuda sighed, "but he worked hard for decades, and in the end he didn't make a wedding dress for someone else - like me." ”

"I remember the last time you said you weren't the only heir, right?"

"Now it is," Mitsumi Fukuda replied, "what do you think I'm doing in Nara?" Just to help you have a baby? ”

Shen Zhenghui rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"Want to hear it?"

"I don't want to."

"It's boring, it's a living textbook."

"I remember you saying that the United States may have a guy like us, why didn't this guy stop 911 from happening?"

"Why did he stop it?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked curiously, "Maybe this guy is just like us, waiting for this to happen!" ”

"I'm worried about the crew."

"Don't worry, Colombia will do this." Mitsumi Fukuda reassured. (To be continued......)
